ProfiNet network card MultiCom 421

Ethernetfor UPS

Overview
The MultiCom 421 is a PROFINET gateway network card that connects a Riello UPS to a PROFINET-IO control network. It enables integration of UPS management and monitoring into industrial control and automation systems, supporting deterministic Ethernet communication for time-critical data.

Applications
Designed for industrial automation and control systems where real-time exchange of UPS status and commands is required. Typical environments include distributed I/O architectures, process industries and oil & gas installations that use PROFINET-based control.

Technical details
MultiCom 421 implements the PROFINET protocol over Ethernet to transport UPS telemetry and control signals with low latency and high determinism. It supports standard PROFINET communication models to interface with PLCs and automation controllers.
