Description: Monitors W-IE-NE-R Power Electronics VME/NIM crate power supply voltage, current, temperature, and fault conditions.

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

What Is WIENER-CRATE-MIB?

WIENER-CRATE-MIB is a MIB from W-IE-NE-R Power Electronics for their VME/NIM crate power supply mainframes (widely used in nuclear/particle-physics instrumentation), providing management of crate control and diagnostics. It exposes system-level control and status objects covering main switch control, overall system status, reset operations, and low-level debug memory access, alongside its documented focus on voltage, current, temperature and fault monitoring for crate power channels. It is squarely a hardware-status monitoring MIB: sysStatus reports overall crate health, sysMainSwitch and sysVmeSysReset/sysHardwareReset provide power/reset control, sysOperatingTime tracks device uptime, and the broader crate module (per its short description) tracks output voltage, current, temperature, and fault conditions of the power supply channels. It is a self-contained vendor module (part of the "communication.can" branch, implying CAN-bus based communication) without heavy reliance on standard IETF MIBs. It is typically deployed in physics laboratory and industrial instrumentation racks where WIENER crate power supplies back NIM/VME electronics. Engineers can download the WIENER-CRATE-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in WIENER-CRATE-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.

Supported Devices

  • W-IE-NE-R VME/NIM crate power supply mainframe

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll sysStatus and sysOperatingTime to confirm the crate mainframe is running normally and to track uptime since last reset, and use sysMainSwitch to check whether the crate's main power is enabled. The sysConfigDoMeasurementCurrent object indicates whether current measurement is active for monitoring load draw on the crate, while sysDebugMemory8/16/32 provide low-level diagnostic memory reads useful for firmware troubleshooting. A sysStatus fault flag or an unexpected sysHardwareReset/sysFactoryDefaults event would reveal the crate has experienced a fault or been reset, potentially disrupting the connected instrumentation modules.

What Can Be Monitored

  • crate operational status
  • main power switch state
  • system uptime
  • current measurement configuration
  • reset/fault events
  • output voltage/current/temperature per channel
