3Security Functions
Each PC is equipped with a temperature monitoring function and an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). The UPS only works in conjunction with a battery pack.
3.1Temperature monitoring function
The ambient air of the IPC must not exceed +45°C (see Section 2.5). To ensure operational reliability , a temperature monitoring function measures the
internal housing temperature.
A temperature warning, occurring at internal housing temperatures exceed-ing 50°C, manifests itself as follows:
D via the flashing “Temp” LED at the front panel of the housing.
D via a message window displayed by the operating system.
This message must also be interpreted by all PC applications, and by I/O
processes in particular. Bosch Rexroth application programs are in full
compliance with this requirement.
Security Functions
3–1
The descibed temperature monitor can be disabled by means of the following program:
D UPS
D UPS
See also Section 3.3.
If temperatures in the housing exceed 65°C, the IPC will be shut down and
switched off via the UPS logic circuit (see Section 3.2).
DANGER
Inadvertent machine movements.
Always ensure that temperatures remain within the noncritical
range. In the case of application-sensitive procedures, ensure that
machine movements are terminated in a controlled fashion in the
event that the temperature monitoring function disables the operator
terminal.

Security Functions
3.2Uninterruptible power supply (UPS)
In the event of a power failure exceeding 800 ms in duration, or of an internal
housing temperature in excess of 65°C (refer to Section 3.1, above), the
UPS logic integrated in the power supply is activated, effecting a safe operating system shutdown procedure backed up by the internal rechargeable battery (”battery pack”).
Power interruptions of shorter durations are bridged by the battery pack. For
an IPC300 running with the Windows NT operating system, power interruptions of up t o 5 seconds in length may be permitted before the USP logic circuit activates.
Please note:
D To allow the rechargeable battery pack to attain its full charge capacity,
the IPC must remain powered up for a minimum of 5 hours subsequent to
initial start-up. Sufficient USP protection cannot be ensured during this
charging period.
D IPC only:
Frequent On/Off cycling of power tends to cause rapid discharge of the
battery pack. You should never cycle the power more often than 4 times in
succession. The battery pack must again be fully recharged thereafter.
D The UPS locgic function requires hard disk capacity for intermediate
datza storage. Ensure that the hard disk never fills up completely.
D Check and verify whether or not the preset Delay Time of 30 seconds
selected in the UPS Dialog window will allow the safe shutdown of all application programs, or whether the interval must be increased.

Each time the PC is booted up, observe UPS program messages indicating that the battery pack may be discharged. This test is run during each PC boot phase.
Voltage drops below 800 ms duration are bridged by the battery pack, and
do not trigger the UPS logic circuit.

Voltage drops between 800 ms and 60 s duration
In the event of a voltage drop in excess of 800 ms, the operating system will
initiate a safe shutdown of the operating system after a preselected delay
time.
D If the mains power is restored within a 5-second interval (short break), the
USP will remain disabled (IPC300 only with appropriate settings).
D If the mains power is restored within the next 60 seconds, the USP will
interrupt the operating voltage for another 8 seconds (up to t3), and then
again restart the operating system.

3.3.1Functions
The “UPS
” or “UPSNT” uninterruptible power supply program controls
plus
and monitors the integrated uninterruptible power supply (UPS). The
program also checks the function of the battery pack, and controls
temperature monitoring of the system.
In the case of the IPC300, the program also monitors fan functions and internal operating voltages.
Depending on the type of IPC and its operating system, one of the following
is installed:
D UPS
D UPS

for IPC with Windows 95
plus
for IPC with Windows NT
NT
for IPC300 with Windows NT
NT
The UPS program is always connected to the UPS via the COM4 serial port.
The occurrence of a voltage drop/interruption causes the UPS program to
respond as follows:
D By sending, within a preselected interval (Delay Time = max. 50
seconds), a signal to all active applications, facilitating their safe
shutdown by the user / operator or via special application routines.
D By following the expiration of the Delay Time by shutting down the operat-
ing system.
Once the UPS power monitoring function has been triggered, aborting
the system shutdown routine is no longer possible.
Closing all active applications prevents data loss in the event of a sudden
voltage interruption.
If the mains voltage has not been restored, the UPS switches off the IPC
power supply after a maximum 60 seconds (see disconnect conditions in
Section 3.2).
CAUTION
Loss of data through manual restart!
Note that the USP switches off the operator terminal in any case. For
thus reason, once the operating system has been shut down, the
“Restart” dialog button must not be selected.
In the case of voltage interruptions below 60 seconds, the operating
system is restarted automatically.
The operator cannot access the UPS
or UPSNT program during standard

Delay Time
This interval is defined as a value between 0 and 50 seconds, by which the
shutdown of Windows will be delayed. The intervening period is used to
dispatch a Request To Close message to all active windows. The user can
avail himself of this time for the purpose of saving his data. Upon expiry of the
Delay T ime, all application programs will be terminated without prior security
query!
When setting the Delay Time, observe that there must be sufficient time to
effect a safe shutdown of the operating system (closing and backing up Windows system files), i.e., between the end of the Delay Time and the expiry of
the 60 seconds after the shutdown signal. If the interval is too short, the shutdown process will be interrupted because the UPS disrupts the mains power .
This may cause loss of data in some circumstances.
CAUTION
Upon expiry of the Delay Time, the operating system is shut down
without prior security query . Unsecured data belonging to open applications will be lost.
Advanced Controls
Enable Accu Test
When this check box is checked, the system performs a test of the battery
pack during each restart.
In the case of a faulty battery pack (e.g., defective battery pack, cable break,
plug not connected), battery monitoring is disabled. The UPS program continues only with its temperature monitoring function.
If temperature monitoring has not been enabled, the UPS program will be
terminated.
Enable Temp Control
When this checkbox is checked, the ambient temperature is monitored on a
continuous basis. Excessive temperatures will produce the following warning message:
1070 073 822-104 (02.06) GB
Subsequent to a temperature warning, the UPS program is again enabled.
During the reactivation interval of approx. 2 seconds, no power monitoring
takes place although the battery pack is fully functional.

D A voltage interruption will cause the PC to shut down immediately.
D After a normal shutdown, the wait interval of approx. 60 seconds prior to
the shutdown of the power supply is omitted.
Although this function reduces the wait times during startups and software
installations, it must always be disabled during standard operation!
CAUTION
Loss of data!
Activation of this checkbox no longer makes a safe shutdown possible in the event of a power failure. The device switches off instantly!

Shutdown Delay Time
This interval is defined as a value between 0 and 45 seconds, by which the
shutdown of Windows will be delayed. The intervening period is used to
dispatch a Request To Close message to all active windows. The user can
avail himself of this time for the purpose of saving his data. Upon expiry of the
Delay T ime, all application programs will be terminated without prior security
query!
When setting the Delay Time, observe that there must be sufficient time to
effect a safe shutdown of the operating system (closing and backing up Windows system files), i.e., between the end of the Delay Time and the expiry of
the 60 seconds after the shutdown signal. If the interval is too short, the shutdown process will be interrupted because the UPS disrupts the mains power .
This may cause loss of data in some circumstances.
CAUTION
Upon expiry of the Delay Time, the operating system is shut down
without prior security query . Unsecured data belonging to open applications will be lost.
Enable Accu Test
When this check box is checked, the system performs a test of the battery
pack during each restart.
In the case of a faulty battery pack (e.g., defective battery pack, cable break,
plug not connected), battery monitoring is disabled. The UPS program continues only with its temperature monitoring function.
If temperature monitoring has not been enabled, the UPS program will be
terminated.
Enable Temp Control
When this checkbox is checked, the ambient temperature is monitored on a
continuous basis. Excessive temperatures will produce a temperature warning message.
Subsequent to a temperature warning, the UPS program is again enabled.
During the reactivation interval of approx. 2 seconds, no power monitoring
takes place although the battery pack is fully functional.

Disable Auto Power Off
This option disables both the USP monitoring function and the power-off
delay for the power supply:
D A voltage interruption will cause the PC to shut down immediately.
D After a normal shutdown, the wait interval of approx. 60 seconds prior to
the shutdown of the power supply is omitted.
Although this function reduces the wait times during startups and software
installations, it must always be disabled during standard operation!
CAUTION
Loss of data!
Activation of this checkbox no longer makes a safe shutdown possible in the event of a power failure. The device switches off instantly!
Shutdown Count
The displayed value shows how often the system was shut down by UPS, i.e.
how many charging cycles the battery has been subjected to. More details
regarding after how many charging cycles it is necessaary to replace the rechargebale batteries is contained in section 8.2.3.
