Tripp Lite MODBUSCARDSV Modbus Communication Card Pdu

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE MODBUSCARDSV is a Modbus communication card designed for integration with enterprise-grade surge protection and power distribution unit (PDU) systems. This card enables Modbus protocol communication between the host device and a building management system (BMS) or supervisory control network, giving facility technicians and electrical professionals real-time visibility into power distribution status. It is installed directly into a compatible PDU or surge protection device and is typically handled by licensed electricians or data center infrastructure technicians.

This communication card is suited for commercial and enterprise environments where centralized power monitoring is required. Typical installations include data centers, server rooms, and industrial facilities that rely on Modbus-based SCADA or BMS platforms to monitor and manage PDU and surge protection equipment. It provides a standardized communication interface that integrates into existing Modbus RS-485 network infrastructures.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or certified data center technician familiar with Modbus RS-485 network wiring standards. Power down the host PDU or surge protection unit completely before inserting or removing the communication card. Follow NEC guidelines for low-voltage communication wiring within the installation environment. Do not install or remove the card while the host device is energized.
