The TECControl-System consists of an AKKUTEC or C-TEC, with an integrated switching module for
switching off an Industrial PC (IPC) during a blackout. The AKKUTEC or C-TEC UPS is supplying power
to the IPC under normal condition and need to be connected via an USB cable. The TECControl Software
need to be installed on the IPC and need to run in the background.
The TECControl software continuously monitors both, the network and the charging status of the UPS
energy storage, either batteries or capacitors.
In case of a mains failure, the IPC is shutting down the system after a pre-definable time. Both the UPS
and the IPC will then be switched off. Once the power returns, the UPS supplies the IPC again and allows
the system to restart automatically. When the power returns back during the shutdown, the IPC will boot
after 5 seconds after the shutdown finished.
This function can be used for robot applications as well to ensure that the robot will be in a waiting
position or finishing the workflow.
Downtimes and damages caused by uncontrolled processes can be avoided.
