Innovative Energies No-Break DC power range with SNMP

Innovative Energies uses SNMP (simple network management protocol) with its No-Break DC range of battery chargers and power supplies.

SNMP has been designed to more easily manage a diverse set of networked equipment.

This protocol is commonly used to manage backup power supplies in major projects such as environmental monitoring, energy distribution systems, emergency radio networks, backup lighting systems, wastewater plants and CCTV security camera monitoring.

It allows remote (off-site) monitoring and control of power supplies in real time through an SNMP manager that has built-in GUI software, allowing users to interact and manage their power supply functions.

Using the ethernet port, users can access a web-based server on the power supply unit that enables battery status, output voltage, battery and load current, temperature and also control of the battery condition test function to be monitored.

Using SNMP, the server sends out alerts (traps) when set fault conditions in the power supply are triggered. These traps are interpreted by the SNMP monitoring software, which can be programmed to send emails, SMS text alerts or log events.

SNMP is currently available with the company’s ‘I’ and ‘L’ series across the SR100, 250, 500 and 750 range of 100-750 W power supply units.
