New NetMinder – CS121 Series Network Adapters
 |
The NetMinder CS121 series of adapters integrate a Controlled Power UPS or lighting inverter into an Ethernet TCP/IP, MODBUS TCP, or
MODBUS RS485 network with a specific IP address. The NetMinder CS121 adapters provide remote monitoring of UPS / Inverter status,
alarm conditions and electrical measurements via a web browser, without the need for any external software. Remote notification of alarms
and status are available via SNMP, e-mail, and network broadcast messaging. The CS121 series of adapters also perform an unattended
graceful shutdown of critical servers when used in conjunction with the NetMinder RCCMD client.
Advanced versions of the CS121 adapter accommodate contact closure inputs for additional monitoring. When used in a lighting inverter
application, advanced versions will report inverter battery test pass/fail results for NFPA life safety system requirements. The NetMinder
CS121L version also provides a temperature and humidity sensing interface.
The NetMinder CS121 series of adapters are available in three different versions:
NetMinder CS121B – Basic Ethernet / SNMP / TCP/IP communications used in UPS applications where neither MODBUS nor auxiliary
contact closure inputs are required.
NetMinder CS121L – Advanced version, Ethernet / SNMP / TCP/IP communications, MODBUS TCP communications, temperature and
humidity sensing, and 4 auxiliary contact closure inputs. The CS121L is used in emergency lighting inverter applications where battery test
pass/fail reporting is required. It is also used in UPS and inverter applications where MODBUS TCP communications are required.
NetMinder CS121L-485 – Advanced version, Ethernet / SNMP / TCP/IP communications, MODBUS TCP or RS485 communications and 4 auxiliary contact closure inputs. The CS121L-485 is used in emergency lighting inverter and UPS applications where MODBUS
communications are required over an RS485 connection. Temperature and humidity sensing are not available on this version.
CS121 Applications – One line diagrams are generic. Please download the Communication Products Overview for the specific status, alarm conditions and electrical measurements being monitored for each UPS or inverter model.

Back to top  New! NetMinder – UPS Management & Monitoring Suite
 |
It is important to be informed as well as protected. Available on our entire line of UPS and lighting inverter systems is the NetMinder UPS Management & Monitoring Suite. NetMinder is a real-time software package that includes 4 different programs that monitor the status and operation of the UPS, as well as provide remote monitoring, alarm notification, and unattended server shutdown. In the event of a system problem, power problem or power failure, NetMinder will send e-mails, SNMP traps or a network broadcast message notifying key personnel of the condition. If power is not restored or the system problem has not subsided, NetMinder can be instructed to shutdown computer(s) which are connected to the network. NetMinder is network and internet compatible, which enables key personnel to check the status of the UPS / lighting inverter, and/or view the electrical measurements of the system, i.e. voltage, current, % battery, % load etc. from anywhere in the world! NetMinder is easy to install and runs on over 31 different operating systems. NetMinder can run locally on a single server connected to a UPS, or over the network with an Ethernet adapter.
NetMinder UPS Management Suite consists of the following programs:
NetMinder UPSMAN – Communicates with the UPS via serial, USB or TCP/IP in order to receive UPS status information and electrical measurement data. UPSMAN notifies authorized personnel of UPS status and alarm conditions via e-mail, SNMP, and text messaging. UPSMAN records all events into a log-file to provide the data to applications on the network or for viewing by authorized personnel. During a power failure, the UPSMAN monitors the remaining battery time of a UPS and initiates local or network shutdowns of protected computers if necessary.
NetMinder UPSMON – Program for viewing UPS status, logs, and measurement data.
NetMinder RCCMD – Program for graceful unattended shutdown of servers. Must be used in conjunction with UPSMAN or a NetMinder CS121 Ethernet adapter. See RCCMD description for more information.
NetMinder UNMS II – (Basic version) – Program for monitoring multiple (up to 9) UPS's and other network devices such as switches, routers HVAC equipment etc. from one terminal. The full version of UNMS II features SNMP notification as well as monitoring capability of an unlimited number of UPS's and network devices. See UNMS II description for more information. |

NetMinder UNMS II is a centralized monitoring software package which provides users the ability to monitor multiple UPS's and/or lighting inverters from a single computer terminal. If a company has multiple Controlled Power UPS's or lighting inverters with a NetMinder Ethernet adapter or any systems running NetMinder UPS Management Suite on the same network or over the internet, NetMinder UNMS II provides
system status and full monitoring of each UPS or inverter from one location. If a facility has other manufacturers' UPS's or inverters with
network capability, these can be monitored as well from the same terminal, eliminating the need for multiple monitoring systems. In the
event of an alarm or change in status condition with the equipment, then NetMinder UNMS II will send an e-mail notifying key personnel of
the condition. NetMinder UNMS II can also monitor HVAC equipment, motion detectors, routers, switches, environmental monitors, and
much more! A basic version of NetMinder UNMS II is included with NetMinder UPS Management Suite and is capable of monitoring up to 9
devices with e-mail notification. The full version of NetMinder UNMS II includes e-mail, SNMP, a customizable interface, multilevel
monitoring, and provisions to add up an unlimited number of UPS's, inverters and network devices. NetMinder UNMS II runs on Windows
2000/XP/2003/Vista.
Features:
- Complete Multiple UPS/Inverter Centralized Monitoring
- Monitor Multiple Manufacturer's UPS's / Inverters
- Integrate and Monitor Entire Facilities Together
- Customizable Interface
- Advanced Logging Capabilities
- E-mail Notification

The NetMinder RCCMD is an operating system client program that works in conjunction with NetMinder UPSMAN, NetMinder CS121. In the event of a critical condition that requires operating systems to be shutdown, the NetMinder RCCMD
Client can be instructed to perform a graceful shutdown upon receipt of a command from a NetMinder UPSMAN or Netminder CS121.
NetMinder RCCMD client uses very few system resources, and is compatible with over 30 different operating systems. |

Meeting NFPA standards for system testing is critical in today's business
infrastructure. To assist in meeting these standards, Controlled Power Company is
offering the Multifunction Communications Modem. The Multifunction
Communications Modem can send a fax, an email, dial a phone number and play a
prerecorded message, or report system test results to a web page. With the
Multifunction Communications Modem, system test results can be recorded and
then faxed automatically providing a written test report sufficient for meeting NFPA
guidelines for stored energy emergency lighting system testing. The Multifunction
Communications Modem accepts up to 8 digital inputs. Not only can the lighting
inverter be monitored, but 6 other devices can be as well. |
|
System monitoring is critical. In some cases where email or a computer network is
not available, the Automatic Message Dialer fills the gap. The automatic message
dialer is an optional device available on our UPS/lighting inverter product lines that
provides 24/7 monitoring via a telephone line. In the event there is an alarm
condition with the UPS or lighting inverter, the Automatic Message Dialer dials up to
3 numbers and plays a customizable pre-recorded voice message. |
|
The USB adapter allows for flexible connectivity from a server running NetMinder
UPSMAN to any Controlled Power Company UPS, without the need of a serial port.
Note: Size and color of adapter may vary from one shown. Not available on HV UPS's. |
Back to top Temperature Sensor & Temperature / Humidity Sensor
|
Temperature and Temperature/Humidity sensors are available as options on the
NetMinder CS121L. Both of these sensors measure either the ambient temperature
and/or humidity and display the results on a network computer. If the temperature or
humidity exceeds the predefined, programmable threshholds, the CS121L will send
an e-mail, SNMP trap, or RCCMD command for shutting down servers. This keeps
personnel informed and critical equipment protected. |
