9.4.7.1 Changing the UPS shutdown time
Under
Windows UPS service
you can enter the
shutdown time
in seconds. This is the length of time that the UPS
waits before switching off the power supply. When a critical alarm occurs (e.g. at low battery level), the Windows
UPS service will send a shutdown command with the turn off delay time to the UPS and will shut down the system.
Information:
This time is evaluated by the Windows UPS Service, but can not be set in the UPS system settings of
the energy options. This value should only be changed if the system requires longer than the default
setting of 180 seconds to shut down.
Caution!
The time entered must be longer than the time required to shut down the operating system.
9.4.7.2 Activate UPS messages
Under
B&R UPS driver
, activate the checkbox
UPS status messages
. Any changes to the UPS status will then
trigger a message from the B&R UPS driver.
Information:
Shutting down the system is only reported by the Windows UPS Service. The UPS Service also sends
other messages if they are activated in the UPS system settings energy options. These messages
are only displayed when the Windows Alerter (Messenger)
5)
is active and the PC is connected to a
network. Additionally, some conditions of the B&R add-on UPS are not detected by the Windows UPS
Service, and therefore do not trigger messages (e.g. when there are no battery settings on the UPS).
The Windows services can be found by opening the Control Panel and selecting "Services" from the
Administrative Tools.
If the checkbox
Display UPS status with UPS monitor
is also activated, a new message is not displayed for
every change, but only a general message and request for you to start the B&R UPS monitor. As long as the UPS
monitor is active, no new messages are displayed.
Information:
Regardless of these options, all changes to the UPS status are logged in Windows event protocol
(under "Application").
5)
The Windows Alerter is supported starting with B&R Windows Embedded Version 2.20 or higher.
