	Most IOC (Input Output Controller) platforms and servers at the TPS control system have been connected to uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) to prevent short downtime of the mains electricity. To accomplish higher availability, it is necessary to maintain batteries and circuits for the UPS system periodically. Thus, an online diagnostic toolkit had to be developed to monitor the status of the UPS system and to notify which abnormal components should be replaced. One dedicated EPICS IOC has been implemented to communicate with each UPS device via SNMP. The PV states of the UPS system are published and archived and specific graphical applications are designed to show the existing control environment via EPICS CA (Channel Access).

Most IOC (Input Output Controller) platforms and servers at the TPS control system have been connected to uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) to prevent short downtime of the mains electricity. To accomplish higher availability, it is necessary to maintain batteries and circuits for the UPS system periodically. Thus, an online diagnostic toolkit had to be developed to monitor the status of the UPS system and to notify which abnormal components should be replaced. One dedicated EPICS IOC has been implemented to communicate with each UPS device via SNMP. The PV states of the UPS system are published and archived and specific graphical applications are designed to show the existing control environment via EPICS CA (Channel Access). This paper reports the development of an online diagnostic toolkit for the UPS System.
