Software Description
The industrial PC option "ACU UPS Control Unit" in combination with a battery/capacitor pack extends the industrial PC (IPC) by one UPS function.The ACU UPS software controls the behaviour of the IPC in this process as soon as the hardware identifies a supply voltage failure.
The ACU UPS control unit is a factory set pre−equipment if you chose this option when placing your purchase order. However, it can also be upgraded later on by Lenze service personnel.
If you purchased the preinstalled operating system on a storage medium at Lenze, the ACU UPS software is already installed and configured according to your hardware. Alternatively, you can find the software on the driver CD for your IPC. Then, install the
software as described in the chapter "Software Installation". (¶ 17
1.1 Operating mode
During the boot phase of the operating system, the ACU UPS is in a permanent buffer operation which means that it already provides protection against data loss in the boot phase, even before the ACU software has started.
The ACU software starts automatically after the operating system has been booted and monitorsthe voltage supply from the background until it is closed along with the operating system.

1.3.1 Message in case of a voltage failure
In the case of a voltage failure, the ACU UPS takes charge of the IPC supply. The remaining
time to the IPC shutdown is displayed on the desktop. (¶ 14).

1.3.2 Message after a change in ACU UPS state
Changes in ACU UPS state are indicated by a change in colour of the ACU symbol on the Windows task bar.
EPC50ACU−001

Legend:
Green: Battery/capacitor pack loaded and active
Yellow: Battery/capacitor pack is being loaded
Red: Indicates one or more of the following faults:
– ACU UPS is buffering the system
– Short circuit in the battery/capacitor pack – Battery/capacitor pack is not connected – Battery/capacitor pack is damaged
– Non−defined battery/capacitor packstatus – Charging connection of the ACU UPS is defective

Software Operation
2.1 Start and Close Software
Start
After the IPC has been booted, the software starts automatically and then runs in the background. A symbol pops up in the information bar.

Note!
If an L−force Controller is delivered with ACU UPS but without a battery pack, the ACU UPS software is installed but UPS support is deactivated. In this case, there will be no ACU symbol in the information bar of the Windows task bar.
In the "ACU Control" registry, UPS support can be(¶ 12)activated and
deactivated.
Double−click the ACU symbol in the control panel to start the software manually.

Note!
For configuring the ACU software, administrator rights are required. Otherwise, only actual states can be displayed.
ƒ If you want to View ACU UPS Configuration, double−click the ACU symbol in the
information bar of the Windows task bar.
The ACU software dialog is displayed. The registries of this dialog show the ACU UPS software settings.
Various settings which affect software only can be made (e.g. the period of time from identifying a voltage failure to the shutdown of the IPC). Settings affecting the ACU UPS control unit hardware cannot be made.
