6.4 RASMANAGER

The RAS-Manager relays alarm signals coming from monitoring devices such as UPS,

SiteManagers, contact alarms and the like to monitoring stations or email receivers. Any

computer with RAS capabilities (Windows, Linux) can be used as a monitoring station. The

only requirement is the setup of an PPPServer on the monitoring station. After the

establishment of communications between the RAS-Manager and the monitoring station, a

RCCMD signal is sent that depending on configuration can either make log entries, send

emails and SMSs or execute programs.

6.5 LED-Matrix Display

The LED-Matrix display is a remote display unit for relaying RCCMD messages that can be

operated via the Ethernet.

Figure 60: LED-Matrix display network integration

Any device operating as an RCCMD Sender like a computer running UPSMAN software,

RCCMD clients, CS121 Web managers and other RCCMD 2 compatible products can send

text messages or environmental data values to the LED-Matrix and can add sounding alarms

for warnings that require immediate attention. Users can also use the built in Web server

interface of the LED-Matrix to relay alarms and messages without the use of an RCCMD

Sender. The user simply enters the message into the Web browser that is to be relayed

through the LED-Matrix.

6.6 MODBUS / PROFIBUS

• MODBUS

Modbus is a serial communications protocol for use with its programmable logic controllers

(PLCs). It has become a de facto standard communications protocol in industry, and is now the

most commonly available means of connecting industrial electronic devices. Modbus allows for

communication between many devices connected to the same network, for example a system
