APC
APC UPS monitoring.
MayaUPS monitors APC Smart-UPS, Smart-UPS Ultra, Symmetra, Easy UPS and Galaxy units through their network management cards, from the older NMC 1 to NMC 4, and Galaxy three-phase units over Modbus TCP.

From Smart-UPS to Galaxy
Single-phase Smart-UPS SMT, SMX, SRT and SURT units sit next to Symmetra PX and Galaxy VS, VM and VX in the same fleet. Three-phase units show their readings phase by phase.
APC readings
Battery capacity, remaining runtime, load, input and output voltage and frequency, battery temperature, the replace-battery indicator and the last self-test result, with the transfer reason each time the UPS goes on battery.
Modbus TCP for Galaxy
Galaxy VS and Galaxy PX units can also be read over Modbus TCP, alongside or instead of SNMP. Shutdown commands go through the card.
APC commands
Through the NMC card, a shutdown event turns the UPS output off once the servers are down, and the UPS comes back on by itself when utility power returns. Battery self-tests can be started from the console.
Rack PDUs, ATS and NetBotz
APC rack PDUs, Easy PDUs, automatic transfer switches, NetBotz 5 appliances and temperature and humidity sensors join the fleet next to the UPS that feeds them.
Frequently asked questions
Does MayaUPS read APC NMC 3 cards?
Yes. NMC 3 cards (AP9640, AP9641, AP9643) are supported on Smart-UPS, Smart-UPS Ultra, Symmetra and MGE Galaxy 3500, together with NMC 2 and NMC 4.
Can MayaUPS replace PowerChute on my APC servers?
Yes. The MayaUPS agent shuts down Windows and Linux servers, and MayaUPS handles VMware, Hyper-V and Nutanix directly, for APC units and every other brand in the fleet.
