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.
Language selection: From UPS software version >= 2.0.0.9 the language of the UPS dialogs can be selected at runtime. The language settings are permanently stored for all users if they have been changed by a user with administrator rights. All other users can change the language, but the setting is not permanently saved.
The ‘User Default’ language setting has a special meaning. It is recommended to use this setting on an operating system with a Multilingual User Interface (MUI). The UPS dialog then appears automatically in the language that you have set under Control Panel -> Regional Settings for the UI dialogs.
If a language is not supported by the Beckhoff UPS dialog, the dialog appears in US English.
Power-fail counter: From UPS software version >= 3.0.0.6. The counter is set to zero on starting the UPS service and counts the number of power failures detected by the UPS service.
