Vertiv Network Management Cards

Dry-contacts (volt-free) card compatible with Liebert GXT MT+

SNMP/Webcard for remote monitoring of the Liebert GXT MT+

Provides Web access, environmental sensor data, and third-party customer protocols for Vertiv equipment. The cards employ Ethernet and RS-485 networks to monitor and manage a wide range of operating parameters, alarms and notifications. Provides a communication interface to Trellis, LIFE Services, Liebert Nform, and third-party building and network management applications.

The Vertiv USB485I converts universal serial bus (USB) port to a RS-485 port. With high retention USB connector designed to hold a standard USB cables in place, these devices are ideal for applications requiring long range or multi-drop capabilities.

Supporting two-wire RS-485 communications, Model includes circuitry with 2000 volts isolation to protect against ground loops and voltage spikes. This model uses a pluggable terminal blocks on the RS-485 side. Two light-emitting diodes (LEDs) indicate whether data is being transmitted or received. The converters draw power from the USB port, so no power supply is required (USB cable included).

No special software is required to control the RS-485 converter. The driver is automatically enabled when the converter is plugged into the RDU101 card. The USB485I uses a pair of wires to send a differential signal over distances up to 1000 feet without a repeater. The differential signal is ideal in applications that require security, noise immunity and long-distance. RS-485 is capable of multi-drop communications - up to 32 nodes.
