Configuration of the integrated 24V UPS CX2100-09x4
1. Open the BECKHOFF UPS Configuration dialog, and then go to Select....
2. Select Beckhoff from the list of manufacturers, and select the Beckhoff CX2100-09xx model/interface.
Close the dialog with Finish, and then with Apply. This will cause the UPS service to adopt the settings and start the UPS service.
3. Then, on the BECKHOFF UPSConfiguration dialog, go to Configure alarm....
The critical alarm is triggered once the battery voltage has fallen to a certain level or once battery operation has exceeded a certain time limit.
Activate the following options (not essential):
Enable all notifications: This option will cause the operating system to send messages to the users whenever the power fails.
When the alarm occurs, run this program (task): This option can be used to execute an application when an alarm is raised.
Activate the following options!
Max. time on battery before critical alarm: This option can be used to specify the battery operation time in minutes until the Critical alarm is triggered. The shutdown of the operating system is only initiated once the alarm has been triggered. This option should be selected to protect the battery. Values between 0 and 720 minutes are permitted. For CX2100-09xx units this value must be set to "0". The system will be shut down once this time has elapsed after a power failure. This option corresponds to the same option that can be set in the standard UPS dialog, with the difference that the shorter times of 0 and 1 minute can also be set.
Finally, turn off the UPS: If this option is selected, the UPS will switch off its own outputs after shutdown to save the batteries. This option also corresponds to the same option that can be set via the standard UPS dialog. Standard value: Selected!
Turn UPS off wait time [s]: After this delay the system should have shut down, and the UPS switches its outputs off to save the battery. This parameter must be set to "0" for CX20x0-09xx units.
Close the dialog with OK, and then click Apply on the main dialog.
The configuration is completed.
