SITOP Manager introduction

The SITOP Manager is a web browser-based software tool for secure and reliable offline and
online development, commissioning and monitoring existing and future OPC-UA-capable
SITOP devices in a customer network.
The SITOP Manager comprises three modular services, which can be individually installed
and operated.
● SITOP Manager Service (MGR)
● SITOP Gateway Service (GWS)
● SITOP Shutdown Service (SDS)
The SITOP Manager Service and SITOP Shutdown Service provide a web-based graphic
user interface (web GUI).
This version of the SITOP Manager supports the uninterruptible SITOP UPS1600 power
supply and the PSU8600 power supply system. Additional detailed information about the
devices supported is provided in the User Manual of the SITOP Manager.
The SITOP Manager software is available at no charge via the SIOS download portal. SIOS
is the Siemens Industry Online Support website, which can be accessed in the Internet at
this address: SIOS (https://support.industry.siemens.com).

System overview

The SITOP Manager comprises three modular services, which can be individually installed
and operated.
● SITOP Manager Service (MGR)
● SITOP Gateway Service (GWS)
● SITOP Shutdown Service (SDS)
This means that the engineer involved with the particular system can decide which services
are to be installed on each machine.
The modular services encompass the following tasks:
1. The SITOP Manager Service (MGR) is used to browse, develop, commission and monitor
several SITOP objects - such as SITOP UPS1600 and SITOP PSU8600 and/or the
SITOP Shutdown Service. The user interface is implemented via a web interface, and
can either be locally or remotely called.
2. The SITOP Shutdown Service (SDS) is responsible for the communication between the
IPC, on which it is installed, and a buffer device (e.g. SITOP UPS1600, PSU8600). It is
the minimum service required to initiate that the IPC is run down for a (buffered) power
failure. SDS can be configured within the MGR - however, also directly via an integrated
web interface (required for installations without MGR).
3. The SITOP Gateway Service (GWS) is responsible for the communication between the
SITOP UPS1600 with USB interface and the OPC-UA interface required for SDS and
MGR. The Gateway Service is installed on the IPC to which the SITOP UPS1600 is
physically connected via USB.
Together, these three services form the SITOP Manager software product.
