Re: Eaton UPS Network-M3

Hello

The SNMP epics module worked fine for Eaton UPS automation here at ESS.
You have to activate the SNMP agent in the web GUI, there should be a section for that.
Also, there are specific MIB files that you should download from the device and include in your IOC with 

epicsEnvSet("MIBDIRS", "+$(snmp_DIR)/db")

Or similar... (in this case we are pointing to a patched version that has the Eaton MIBS included in it, but I don't think they come by default on the SNMP module)

Cheers

Hi Bo,

It looks like the UPS supports SNMP  "MIB II – Standard IETF UPS MIB (RFC 1628) – Eaton xUPS MIB" so if it exposes the information you need by this route you should be able to monitor using the EPICS SNMP module  https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://groups.frib.msu.edu/controls/files/devSnmp.html__;!!G_uCfscf7eWS!dlxa2rKzQLDGdYbWcInez0AVIfntphYEDOxl4mAWkjnBkjEiVDRrp5IR_eQc7HqqDFvslT5MbKHY3UEk5wZFl_VVb-rN-XOU0XM$

Regards,

Freddie

Dear all

I am upgrading out labs with Eaton UPS's (9PX 3000) which I have got with the Netwoek-m3 ethernet card.

I was hoping to implement EPICS support for logging the status, but unfortunately it does not seems to be straight forward as the web interface does not have a simple API.

So I would like to hear if anyone here has attempted communication with such EATON Ups's

Best regards

Bo
