5.2 UPS functions
5.2.1 BECKHOFF UPS Configuration dialog
5.2.1.1 Beckhoff UPS configuration dialog
Following installation under Win2K/XP/XPe/WES 7 the UPS configuration dialog will be found as an
additional tab under Control Panel -> Power Options.
Under NT4.0 UPS configuration dialog can be called via the shortcut under Control Panel -> BECKHOFF
UPS Configuration.
Under Windows Vista or Windows 7 you can reach the UPS configuration dialog via the link in the Start
menu: Start->All Programs->BECKHOFF->UPS Software Components->UPS Configuration
The UPS devices that are connected to the serial interface can in fact be fully configured via the standard
dialog under Control Panel -> Power Options -> UPS. The setting facilities are adequate for an office PC, but
it is not always possible to achieve an optimum configuration through this dialog for an Industrial PC with a
UPS. An additional dialog is therefore made available under Control Panel -> Power Options: BECKHOFF
UPS Configuration.
This dialog can be used, for instance, to make device-specific settings on the CP903x card, or to carry out a
firmware update for the P24Vxxxx UPS. The supplementary dialog also allows the maximum "time on
battery" to be set to < 2 minutes, and for the delay time for switching off the UPS to be configured.
The UPS configuration settings can be made solely by a user with administrator rights. The corresponding
dialogs are disabled for other users.
