 ABSTRACT
Nowadays, UPS has become mandatory in most of
the institutions and organizations. The UPS
monitoring system is developed to provide an
overall system to monitor and control the various
UPS units located at different locations of the
organization. The status of the UPS units available
are all automatically stored in the database for
future use. The root cause for any problems can be
predicted only if the history of all the parameters of
UPS units are available.
The alert conditions occurring due to
issues such as low battery, high temperature, etc. in
any of the UPS units is sent as an alert message to
the administrators through the mobiles.
The UPS can be shutdown automatically
from the system. The status and values of the
parameters of these UPS units can be viewed
through the Website also, so that the Administrator
can track the details from anywhere.
The reports are generated such that the
details of any log for all the UPS units can be
viewed. Graphs are plotted for any particular
parameter (input voltage,output voltage)for all the
UPS units and between two parameters(temperature
Vs battery capacity)for a particular UPS.
A website is hosted that allows the user to
view the details of the UPS units in the
organization from anywhere.
The aim of the system is to provide an
overall control over all the units available in the
organization.

above mentioned variables are noted.
 The values of the parameters for all the
units at a particular specified time are
generated as reports.
 The obtained values are plotted as graphs.
The variation between two parameters of
any particular UPS is clearly showed
using the graph. The particular value such
as temperature, frequency, etc. are viewed
for all the UPS units for the current time.
 Alerts such as Overload, battery low, High
