The card provides 6 configurable relay outputs for switching external devices and 4 input contacts for detecting events from peripherals (push buttons, door contact, alarm, float switch).
Two universal I/O (UIO) ports support optional environmental sensors and Dry Contact I/O accessories to expand with additional input/output interfaces.
Using the included micro-USB connection, you get access to a dynamic web interface where you can monitor status and configure actions for relays, inputs, and sensors based on UPS events.
The Schneider Electric APC SmartSlot Dry Contact I/O card is designed for UPS systems with a SmartSlot (up to 160 kVA). It allows you to connect external triggers and signaling devices and at the same time automate responses to UPS events—for example, switching a relay during a power outage, an alarm condition, or a status change.
It also includes 2 universal I/O (UIO) ports that support optional environmental sensors and Dry Contact I/O accessories for further expansion. Access to the dynamic web user interface is available via the included micro-USB cable, allowing you to configure the UPS as well as the action logic for relays, inputs, and sensors.
