3. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Working principle
When the power supply provides sufficient voltage, the buffer module stores energy in
the integrated electrolytic capacitors. In case of a voltage dip or loss, this energy is
released to the DC bus in a regulated process.

Buffer Module
Bridges mains faults without interruption
Statistic show that 80% of all mains fault lasts less than 0.2s. These mains faults are
completely bridged by the buffer unit up to 10A load current. For higher load currents
use multiple buffer modules in parallel. This increases the reliability of the system as a
whole.
Extended hold-up time
Once mains power fails or is switched off, the buffer unit will continue to provide the
load current for a defined period of time. Process data can be saved and processes can be
terminated before the DC power switches off. Controlled restarts are subsequently
possible.

Buffer Module
Easy to handle, expandable and maintenance-free
The buffer module does not require any control wiring. It can be added parallel to the
load circuit at any given point. Buffer modules can be connected in parallel to increase
the output ampacity or the hold-up time.
