Preventing potential failures ...
... with uninterruptible power supplies (UPS)

Electrical devices and systems malfunction in the presence of supply disturbances such as variations in voltage or frequency, short interruptions, or grid failure. In the case of data processing equipment, this can often lead to processing errors, data loss, and in the worst case to lasting damage to both software and hardware. The power supply unit fitted to the SIMATIC PC for tough industrial requirements bridges voltage failures lasting up to 20 ms (NAMUR).
If longer voltage failures are to be bridged, an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is needed. This will maintain the supply long enough for the system to be shut down properly.
The SITOP and Masterguard uninterruptible power supplies are available for applications that must work non-stop when the power fails, providing 24 V DC or 115/230 V AC or integrated, customer-specific UP supplies.
