Description of the UPS module
Longer power failures can be buffered by using a SITOP UPS8600 UPS module in
conjunction with SITOP BAT8600 battery modules. Up to two UPS modules can be used for
each basic unit. Two LEDs signal the operating state of the UPS module and the battery
circuit. Additional functions (charging power, preferred charge mode, buffer time limiting) can
be activated using DIP switches. Using two control contacts, buffer readiness can be
deactivated and the system can be powered up in the island mode; three signaling contacts
facilitate processing information regarding buffer readiness and buffer operation.
The connection to the basic unit or to the adjacent module is established using an integrated
connecting plug. For longer power failures, all of the outputs of the power supply system are
supplied without interruption using the energy stored in the external battery module.
The battery module SITOP BAT8600 connected via the two-wire connection at the
communication terminals and in line operation is charged with the optimum temperature-
controlled charging characteristic in order to secure a long service life of the batteries being
used. Further, the operating readiness of the battery module and the charge state and
service life of the batteries are monitored and evaluated.
To extend the power failure buffer time, up to 5 battery modules can be connected to the
UPS module – either SITOP BAT8600 LiFePO4 or SITOP BAT8600 Pb batteries.
Third-party battery modules can be used; however, the diagnostic functions are restricted -
and temperature-controlled charging is not possible.

Note
When configuring, the UPS module should be considered as an output of the power supply
system; this means that the charging power of the UPS module should be subtracted from
the system power available for the outputs.
