Introduction, Staged Shutdown Procedures

UPS/400 . . . an IBM AS/400 UPS power monitoring system . . .

INTRODUCTION

UPS/400 is power monitoring software that continuously monitors your UPS hardware, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for alerts indicating an AS/400 system power fluctuation or loss. Upon detecting a notification, UPS/400 sends messages to users advising them of pending power outage. If power is not returned, UPS/400 notifies users to sign off the system, takes control of your system, and begins an orderly shutdown. If at any time during the shutdown period power is restored, UPS/400 resets the system to normal and informs all users.

User-friendly menus and pop-up windows provide an easy, non-technical approach to installation and customization. UPS/400 is delivered with a sample shutdown plan already in place, so you can activate the product with or without further tailoring.

UPS/400 includes a simulated UPS power failure test function that utilizes the shutdown criteria shown on the System Attributes display. The test function permits you to test your system attributes (whether defaulted or customized) in simulation mode. UPS/400 executes the specified parameters for each step, and sends messages to the system operator and active users at each of the six time intervals that you specify. In this way, you can test and modify the message intervals and message notifications prior to activating the actual UPS/400.

You can customize UPS/400 to your environment so that messages are sent at up to six intervals that you specify. UPS/400 also ends active processes and subsystems according to your present instructions. Field-sensitive help information is provided to assist you in understanding and customizing UPS/400.

In the event of a power loss, system shutdown activities will occur in four basic stages.

STAGED SHUTDOWN PROCEDURES

Once installed and customized, UPS/400 will interact with the system administrator and online users to effect an orderly shutdown if a UPS power loss occurs. Actions will be taken in the following stages:

Stage 1: Alert

•The system operator is notified that power has been lost and UPS/400 has taken control.

•Users are alerted that they are on UPS power and asked to complete critical tasks before possible signoff.

Stage 2: Preliminary Shutdown

•Continued periodic notifications of shutdown severity status are sent to the system operator

•Specified Job Queues are held

•Users are notified to end tasks and log off due to continued outage

•Specified subsystems are being ended in anticipation of continued power outage

•User specified procedures (optional) are run at indicated time intervals

Stage 3: Critical Shutdown

•System operator is notified that full system shutdown has been initiated

•All remaining subsystems are ended

•All active users are logged off

•A full system AS/400 power down is performed

UPS specifications

Nikon has long been recognized as a leader in the optical and imaging industries, and their line of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), or Unmanned Aerial Platforms (UPS), reflects this legacy of innovation. Nikon's UPS technology is designed to meet the demands of aerial imaging, surveying, and mapping while integrating advanced imaging technologies that the brand is famous for.

One of the standout features of Nikon’s UPS is its high-resolution imaging capabilities. These drones are equipped with sophisticated cameras that can capture stunning aerial photographs and high-definition video. The incorporation of Nikon’s lens technology provides crystal-clear images, which are essential for professional applications in fields such as agriculture, construction, and environmental monitoring.

Another notable characteristic of Nikon's UPS is its user-friendly interface and seamless control systems. Whether piloted manually or autonomously, operators can easily navigate these drones using intuitive software that simplifies mission planning and execution. This makes Nikon’s UPS not only suitable for seasoned professionals but also accessible for newcomers to drone technology.

In terms of flight performance, Nikon's UPS boasts impressive stability and endurance. Equipped with robust motors and advanced flight control systems, these drones can tackle varying weather conditions and carry significant payloads. Furthermore, the flight-time capabilities allow for extended operations, enabling users to cover large areas without frequent recharges or battery swaps.

Nikon integrates cutting-edge technologies such as Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) into their UPS, ensuring precise positioning and enhanced mapping accuracy. These technologies are crucial for applications that require detailed geographical information and data collection, thereby allowing users to produce high-quality outputs with minimal errors.

Safety features are also integral to Nikon’s UPS design. The drones come equipped with automatic return-to-home functions, GPS stabilization, and obstacle avoidance systems, which significantly reduce the risk of accidents during operation.

In conclusion, Nikon's Unmanned Aerial Platforms are a testament to the company’s commitment to excellence in imaging and technology. With their high-resolution cameras, excellent flight performance, user-friendly controls, and advanced technological integration, Nikon's UPS offers a comprehensive solution for professionals in various industries, making aerial imaging more efficient and accessible than ever before.
