I think the time for me to get involved in NUT documentation has come again. Late last week I had to buy a UPS under time pressure. The Eaton unit that thus project gifted me with in 2006(?) died during a severe thunderstorm watch, so it was off to MicroCenter to get a replacement pronto. I wound up buying an APC BN700MC. It was what they had in the performance range I needed. The removable

Hi All, About a month ago APC announced they were including MODBUS protocol support in their new APC UPSes. The technical note on this is here: http://www.apcmedia.com/salestools/MPAO-98KJ7F/MPAO-98KJ7F_R0_EN.pdf "Application Note #176 Modbus Implementation in APC Smart-UPS" The APC "announcement" appeared on their site in their user blogs by an APC employee, here:

I have an APC SMX3000RMLV2UNC UPS, with installed network card model AP9631. http://www.apc.com/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=SMX3000RMLV2UNC http://www.apc.com/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=AP9631 I planned to use network connectivity with this unit and apcupsd, but have not this far. The UPS is shared by multiple servers, so a USB or Serial connection via the

Hello, I'm testing an APC SMT3000RMI2U connected to an USB port with Nut 2.7.2. I've got the message : "interrupt pipe disabled (add 'pollonly' flag to 'ups.conf' to get rid of this message)" I've been looking for "pollonly" in the usbhid-ups man page, but it didn't help me. Could someone explain me what does this means exactly ? What are

Hi! I was wonering if there is a driver that supports communicating with a Modbus aware device over IP. I have a solar/wind invertor that can broadcast its state and I would like to monitor the batteries. If they discarge to a certain voltage or come to a defined state, I would perform a shutdown. All of this information id provided in Modbus holding registers. This could of course be done

Hello, this is to let you know I will start working on a modbus driver for the PhoenixContact QUINT-UPS industrial DC UPS, model 2320461. https://www.phoenixcontact.com/online/portal/us?uri=pxc-oc-itemdetail:pid=2320461&library=usen&pcck=P-22-07-01-01&tab=1 I will reuse some parts of the nutdrv-modbus branch, but this will be a model specific driver, not a generic one. Unfortunately

Yeah, I have its datasheet (it's a Xantrex XW invertor by the way). I do not know why creating a more-or-less generic driver is an issue. Of course, there are Modbus beasts that can scare everyone but mostly one would need to read either intreger or float numbers out of Modbus registers in order to decide whether or not to start or stop the shutdown process. 24 ???? 2017 ?. 19:25:14

Hi All, I've just setup a test Asterisk system that allows incoming/outgoing calls via an ISDN card (l4i) and incoming/outgoing calls via SIP (iconnecthere). I have two SIP Softphones (Xten X-Lite) for making and receiving calls. When receiving an incoming call via the ISDN interface the sound quality is fine for the Softphone user (i can hear the caller perfectly), but the person

Hello, I have tried to use the blazer_ser driver to interface with my UPS. nut is not able to detect the UPS. I have not been able to find much info regarding Socomec UPS support in nut. Socomec does publish a description of the serial protocol for these UPS's, which can be found here: http://www.socomec.com/download-jbus-modbus.html(select UPS OTHER for device model, 1-5KVA for device power
