Connect UPS

The OMRON S8BA UPS protects the Box PC from power failures, voltage variations and instantane-
ous voltage drops. Short power interruptions will be backed up by the UPS and the Box PC will contin-
ue normal operation. The UPS signals the Box PC when a power failure occurs and then the Box PC
will shutdown normally without data loss. The Box PC can automatically start up again when the pow-
er is restored.
The use of an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) allows normal operation to continue
even if a momentary power failure occurs, possibly resulting in the reception of an er-
roneous signal from an external device affected by the momentary power failure. Take
external fail-safe measures. Where necessary, monitor the power supply voltage on
the system for external devices and use it as an interlock condition.
Precautions for Safe Use
• Always use an uninterruptable power supply (UPS) to prevent data loss and other system file
integrity issues caused by unexpected power interruption.
• Use an Omron S8BA UPS with the correct revision number to prevent improper system shut-
down.
• Correctly perform wiring and setting, and ensure that the shutdown by the UPS can be exe-
cuted.
Additional Information
• The minimum power requirements of the UPS are dependent on the power consumption.
Refer to 4-1-3 Power Consumption Specifications on page 4-4 for power consumption details.
• Refer to the OMRON website for S8BA specifications and for the UPS S8BA User's Manual
(Cat. No. U702).
Note that the power consumption details determine the output current/capacity of your UPS.
Connect UPS Using the I/O Connector
The I/O connector of the IPC Machine Controller
• receives the power status of the UPS with the UPS Mode Input.
• indicates the power status of the Box PC to the UPS with the Power Status Output when the Box PC
has a Windows operating system. For other operating systems this output is not functional.
The Box PC will shut down properly in case of a power supply interruption.
Precautions for Safe Use
• Always use the recommended uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to prevent data loss and
other system file integrity issues caused by unexpected power interruption.
• Use an Omron S8BA UPS with the correct revision number to prevent improper system shut-
down.
• Correctly perform wiring and setting, and ensure that the shutdown by the UPS can be exe-
cuted.
