2 Introduction Finally, direct access to the UPS through a software interface that you control No more being forced to use manufacturer s software Small, fast tools to get the information you need Ultra-reliable, industrial, mission critical code

3 FAQs What is the Powerware CoreLogic Software Development Toolkit? The Powerware CoreLogic Software Development Toolkit (CoreLogic) is a family of integrator/developer tools and programs purchased on CD to assist in writing new software, integrating into existing customer software or create script or batch files to monitor and control Powerware UPSs. Are there tools for IT? Do I need to be a programmer? The CoreLogic contains a number of simple (yet powerful) command line utility programs (for Windows, Linux, HP/UX, UNIX and more) which are ideally suited for script or batch file execution, or as immediate direct query tools (such as a ping or telnet ). Perfect for the IT professional when you just need to go directly to the unit to retrieve status. Can I use the toolkit to UPS-enable my own software? Yes. CoreLogic contains the powerful Powerware XCP Driver Library and API to quickly allow you to make your C/C++ program or embedded threads communicate with your Powerware UPS.

4 FAQs Is there source code in the toolkit? The C-code source for the command line tools is included as examples of how to interface to the Powerware XCP Library API. Source for the API is not necessary and is not included. Can I distribute or sell any program I write? Can I distribute the programs found in the toolkit? No. CoreLogic is designed for internal (within the walls of your organization) use. The End User License Agreement specifically prohibits distribution of any of the CoreLogic components (including the library) outside of your company. Should you wish to distribute software or embedded programs created that includes the CoreLogic XCP Library or any of the CoreLogic tools, please contact us at CoreLogic.Licensing@Powerware.com and inquire regarding a distribution license and the corresponding fee.

11 PAM Parallel Access Monitor (PAM) Designed for finite state high reliability operation- NO GUI. Ideal for servers with redundant power supplies feeding from multiple UPSs. Can retrieve UPS status via USB, Serial, SNMP, Net XCP from multiple UPSs or same UPS in multiple ways for redundancy of communication methods Unlimited communication inputs: N UPSs Performs algebraic logic to determine one of three states: NOMINAL STATE WATCH STATE TRIGGER STATE Operation can be modeled by logic diagrams Can retrieve external states to be used in algebraic state determination (for example, state of a server s power supply) Designed for mission critical applications & embedding Source code available for additional licensing fee

12 PAM Finite state machine operation Logic Diagram Small in size (~70K), focused in function and large on performance. Multiple UPS monitoring- including redundant comms INI file defines PAM operation This file defines the logic conditions for finite states.

13 PAM Example Application- Mission Critical Redundant Monitoring Server #1 Server #2 Server #3 UPS #1 UPS #2 PAM software would run on each of 3 servers. If running on battery on one UPSsituation OK. If the utility input of UPS#1 AND UPS#2 is gone and batteries are low, then begin graceful shutdown. Communications to UPSs could be network, or network AND USB for redundant communications, redundant power, and redundant power supplies.
