Overview
Monitoring and configuration windows of the SITOP UPS software
DC UPS software
The DC UPS modules are optionally available with a USB port or
a serial port. All relevant messages about the status of the DC
UPS can be transferred to a PC (e.g. SIMATIC PC) via this inter-
face.
SITOP DC UPS software provides the user with a software tool
that is extremely easy to operate and can be used to further
process the signals sent from the DC-UPS module on the PC. In
monitoring mode, the status of the DC-UPS module is visualized
on the PC. Safe shutdown in the event of a power failure and
automatic PC restart are supported. It is also possible to freely
define responses to the different operating states of the DC UPS
module, permitting extremely flexible integration into a wide
variety of applications. The SITOP DC UPS software can be in-
stalled either as application or as service. When using it as ap-
plication an OPC server interface is available in addition to the
data exchange.
The software executes under the Windows Vista, Windows 2000
and Windows XP operating systems. It is available as freeware
on the SITOP Internet site for free downloading.
