Hardware

We will be using Wiener UEP6000/PL500 VME crates and UEP6023/PL500 VXS crates. We need to control and monitor the power supply/fan base of these crates. The variables include:

  • Power supply status
  • Fan tray status
  • Temperature sensors
  • Various voltages on the crate

These crate have three interface which we could use to communicate remotely:

  • CAN-bus
  • Serial RS-232
  • Ethernet SNMP

Our choice would be SNMP since it will not require us to create any new piece of infrastructure to control crates.
