__Product revision number

__Product ID code

__Vendor ID code __Device info tag #2

String descriptor info:

S:Manufacturer=ssss

__Manufacturer of this device as read from the device.

For USB host controller drivers (virtual root hubs) this may

be omitted, or (for newer drivers) will identify the kernel

version and the driver which provides this hub emulation. __String info tag

S:Product=ssss

__Product description of this device as read from the device.

For older USB host controller drivers (virtual root hubs) this

indicates the driver; for newer ones, it’s a product (and vendor)

description that often comes from the kernel’s PCI ID database. __String info tag

S:SerialNumber=ssss

__Serial Number of this device as read from the device.

For USB host controller drivers (virtual root hubs) this is

some unique ID, normally a bus ID (address or slot name) that

can’t be shared with any other device. __String info tag

__ "*" indicates the active configuration (others are " ") __Config info tag

USB devices may have multiple configurations, each of which act rather differently. For example, a bus-powered configuration might be much less capable than one that is self-powered. Only one device configuration can be active at a time; most devices have only one configuration.

Each configuration consists of one or more interfaces. Each interface serves a distinct "function", which is typically bound

UPS control system specifications

APC UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) control systems are vital components for ensuring uninterrupted power supply and protecting critical equipment from power interruptions, surges, or fluctuations. Designed by Schneider Electric, APC UPS systems are renowned for their high quality and reliability. They utilize advanced technologies and features to suit diverse applications, from home offices to large industrial settings.

One of the main features of APC UPS systems is the ability to provide backup power during outages. This is achieved through a battery system that activates immediately when the mains power fails. This seamless transition minimizes downtime and ensures that electronic devices continue to operate, protecting data integrity and equipment lifespan.

Another significant characteristic of APC UPS systems is their intelligent management capabilities. Most models come with PowerChute software, which provides users with real-time monitoring of power conditions and the status of the UPS. This software allows for graceful shutdowns of connected devices during extended outages, thereby preventing data loss and damage to devices.

APC UPS systems also incorporate advanced technologies such as Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR). AVR technology ensures that the output voltage remains stable by correcting minor fluctuations without switching to battery mode. This not only prolongs the battery life but also provides a consistent power supply to the connected equipment.

Thermal management is another critical aspect of APC UPS control systems. The design often includes efficient cooling systems that prevent overheating, ensuring optimal performance and longevity of the unit. Some models feature EcoMode, which reduces energy consumption and lowers operational costs by working at high efficiency only when battery backup is not required.

APC UPS systems are designed with scalability in mind. Users can easily add more batteries or connect additional UPS units to accommodate growing power needs. Features such as hot-swappable batteries and modular design facilitate easy upgrades and servicing without interrupting power supply.

In terms of connectivity, APC UPS products often feature multiple options including USB, RS-232, and network management capabilities. This enables users to connect remote management tools and integrate the UPS with existing IT infrastructure.

In summary, APC UPS control systems deliver reliability, efficiency, and advanced technology features that cater to a wide array of power protection needs, making them a trusted choice for individuals and businesses alike.
