The ups.conf should look something like this.

[pw5110]
    driver = bcmxcp_usb
    port = auto
    shutdown_delay = 60
    desc = "USB ups"


Now try to start the driver like this.

/sbin/bcmxcp_usb -a pw5110

If it spit out something like this

--------
Network UPS Tools - BCMXCP UPS driver 0.11 (2.0.5)

Model = POWERWARE UPS    500VA
Firmware = Cont:00.80 Inve:00.60
Shutdown delay =  60 seconds
--------

Then it is ok. If not then check the you have the right
udev rules installed.
