Monitoring of UPS Eaton with LabVIEW

[mrkvolf]

Hello,
I have question according to UPSs Eaton connected via USB.
I have Eaton Ellipse (delivered with SW Eaton UPS Companion).

Now plan to buy Eaton 5P
delivered with SWs:
Intelligent Power Manager
Management pack for Microsoft System Center Operations Manager (SCOM)
Infrastructure Management Pack for VMware vRealize Operations Manager

It can be work-arounded by buying additional Relay Card-MS? (module is possible only with Eaton 5P). But for Ellipse I have no HW solution.

Is it possible to read some API or Windows native "system variables" or any values that are re-written by proprietary Eaton SW above?

Hi mrkvolf,

you can check one solution available here on forums to see how to check UPS status with .NET.

Also, there is a NUT project with lots of standards, official and unofficial documentation available which contains Eaton UPS protocols and much more.

Good luck with your project!
