npm install node-red-contrib-atipsae

or install it globally with the command

npm install node-red-contrib-atipsae -g

Description

You must use the Node-RED with UNO-IPS2730-AE.

Example

You can try demo flow demo.json via import function from Node-RED editor.

The inputs must be msg.payload.UPSInputLostDelay and msg.payload.UPSCutOffDelay which are numeric.

msg.payload.UPSInputLostDelay is a number which is the DC Input Lost detection duration(sec).

msg.payload.UPSCutOffDelay is a number which is the DC-OUT cut-off delay time(minutes).

Another input msg.payload.port is COM port name which is used to connect with UPS.

---

There are 3 outputs, Emergency, Status and Response.

The Emergency output is a string and consists of the following.

"DC-IN is Losted"

"Battery Over Temperature"

"Battery Gauge is Lost Connection"

"EEPROM Access Fail"

"DC-IN is Over Voltage"

"The DC-Out Cut-Off trigger"

"Restores power to IPS-AE DC-IN"

The Status output is a javascript object format in msg.payload and the object contents are as follows

fwversion : DEVICE firmware version

ips : the status of DEVICE. 1 is ready and 0 is not ready

dcin : the status of DC-IN. 1 is ready and 0 is not ready

battery : the status of BATTERY. 1 is ready and 0 is not ready

inputlostdelay : the DC Input Lost detection duration(sec)

utoffdelay : the DC-OUT cut-off delay time(minutes)

atterylife : BATTERY life(minutes) at the present rate of discharge. "65535" is BATTERY charged.

emperature : BATTERY temperature(celsius)

maxtemperature : It's the max temperature(celsius) of BATTERY from the system started.

batteryvoltage : It's the the BATTERY voltage(mV).

capacity : BATTERY capacity(%)

The Response. output is a string to describe the input result.
