11.4.7.1 Changing the UPS shutdown time
The
Turn off delay
can be entered under
Windows UPS service
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. low battery level), the Windows
UPS service will send a shutdown command with the turn off delay time to the UPS and shut down the system.
Information:
This time is evaluated by the Windows UPS Service but cannot be set in the UPS system settings of
the power 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.
11.4.7.2 Enabling UPS notifications
Under
B&R UPS driver
, enable the checkbox
Show notifications for UPS status
. 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 notifications if so enabled in the UPS system settings in the power options. These messages are
only displayed when the Windows Messenger service

is active and the PC is connected to a network.
In addition, 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). Windows
services can be found by opening the Control Panel and selecting "Services" under "Administrative
tools".
If the checkbox
Show UPS status with UPS monitor
is also enabled, a new message is not displayed for every
change. Instead, only a general message and request to start the B&R UPS monitor are shown. As long as the
UPS monitor is active, no new messages will be displayed.
Information:
Regardless of these options, all changes to the UPS status are logged in the Windows event log (under
"Application").

The Windows Messenger service is supported starting with B&R Windows Embedded version 2.20 and higher.
