12.35 Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) (as from SW 6.3)(Express shutdown)
General
When the 840 C control is not purposely, i.e. properly ramped down but instead just turned off,
general problems can occur in the operating system. E.g. opened data files may not be closed
properly leading to inventory data inconsistencies. In a worst case scenario, the file system of
the hard disk could become inconsistent during a momentary write access to the hard disk.
The danger in such cases is that the MMC may not be able to boot at the next POWER ON.
With the help of a standard UPS (approx. 300 W) it is possible to switch off or ramp down
(express shutdown) the NC in a controlled manner.
