Allen-Bradley 1609-NMC Network Management Card

The Allen-Bradley 1609-NMC Network Management Card provides Ethernet-based network management for Bulletin 1609 Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS), giving you remote visibility and control of the UPS over a standard network connection. Installed inside the UPS, the card is an optional accessory (not a replacement part) that enables Ethernet communications and can be ordered separately from the Rockwell catalog; it supports monitoring, configuration, and alerting without replacing the unit. Typical applications include data centers and industrial facilities where UPS health status, event logging, and remote management are critical, and where integration with facility monitoring systems or SCADA workflows is desired. Variants such as 1609-NMC/A cover different revisions of the UPS hardware. Verified environmental ratings indicate operation in ambient temperatures up to 40°C, relative humidity from 0 to 95% non-condensing, and operation up to 3000 meters altitude, reflecting suitability for on-site installations in a range of facilities. By adding the 1609-NMC, IT and facilities teams gain Ethernet connectivity to the UPS, enabling network-based monitoring and configuration alongside other Rockwell Automation power products to support centralized energy management and faster response to power events.
