You need to know what kind of port and protocol uses your device. For example:

- Industrial UPS units have ethernet port and use Modbus TCP/IP. The manufacturers provide communication tables.
- Old home UPS units had serial ports (I don't know what kind of protocols they used).

Then you need to install a suitable communication module and write the logic to manage the data flow.

If your device only provides output relays, you can use a digital input module.

There are no specific modules for the devices you are listing. You need to start reading the specification manuals of your devices and get the information about available ports, communication and protocols. Then you can specify the PLC modules you'll need.
