Configuring the Software
This step shows how to configure the UPS in the Beckhoff UPS software. Two of the most important settings
that affect the behavior of the UPS in the event of a power failure are:
• Max. time on battery before critical alarm
• and Turn UPS off wait time.
In the software, set the time after which the critical alarm should be triggered and the Industrial PC should be
shut down in the event of a power failure.
In the next step, define the time after which the ups should switch off its supply outputs. Note that the
industrial PC must be shut down properly within this period. Make sure that you do not set a value that is too
low and that the set time covers the entire shutdown process.
