The UPS used by B&R is an online UPS card. What sets an online UPS apart from a standby UPS is that it runs constantly whenever the PC is on and is therefore able to compensate for power fluctuations in addition to outages.
It is installed directly in the PC, requiring neither housing nor cable connections. This lowers costs and frees up cabinet space, while also reducing power loss.
The UPS card is available in two sizes. The smaller card, with a charging current of 2.2Ah, is sufficient for the most common configurations of B&R's industrial PC.
For high-performance configurations with extensive options and multiple insert cards, the larger 4.5Ah card is recommended.
The larger card also has a wider temperature range and an exceptionally long service life. Depending on the system configuration, the UPS cards can bridge outages of up to one hour.
