SIEMENS SITOP DC-USV-module 6EP1931-2EC42
The SIEMENS SITOP DC-USV-module 6EP1931-2EC42 is an essential component for ensuring uninterrupted power supply to sensitive 24 V DC loads in industrial automations. The DC Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) module, designed to bridge power failures and prevent downtime, ensuring continuous operation of critical applications.
Purpose of a DC UPS Module:
There are industrial control systems, a stable and continuous 24V DC power supply is vital for PLCs, HMIs, sensors, actuators, and other control components. This allows critical processes to continue running or provides sufficient time for a controlled and safe shutdown of the system.
Specifications of 6EP1931-2EC42:
- Function: Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) module for 24 V DC systems.
- Input: 24 V DC / 16 A (from a primary power supply, e.g., a SITOP power supply).
- Energy Storage Type: SITOP BAT1600 series or older compatible SITOP battery modules like 6EP1935-6MD11 (3.2 Ah), 6EP1935-6ME21 (7 Ah), 6EP1935-6MF01 (12 Ah)).
- USB Interface: Includes a USB port for communication. This allows for monitoring of the UPS status, battery health can enable a controlled shutdown of connected industrial PCs (IPCs) or PLCs systems

Summery:
A DC UPS module like the SITOP 6EP1931-2EC42 works in conjunction with a standard power supply and a battery module to provide backup power during mains failures. When the primary AC power fails, the DC UPS seamlessly switches to battery power, maintaining the 24V DC output to the connected loads.
