Product Description:

The 5AC600.UPSB-00 UPS battery module is manufactured by B&R Automation for integration in the 5AC CNC Addon Modules series. It connects directly to the DC link of a controller rack and maintains supply voltage long enough for motion axes to decelerate safely and for process data to be written to nonvolatile memory during an unexpected mains outage. This targeted function makes the unit a practical safeguard inside industrial automation cabinets where unplanned stops can damage tooling or compromise product quality.

The energy store relies on an Enersys Cyclon 12 V 5 Ah sealed lead-acid cell that combines high current capability with long shelf life. When fully charged, it delivers a nominal capacity of 5 Ah, indicating that five ampere-hours of charge are available for sustaining the DC bus under load. The output is regulated around a 12 V nominal level; if terminal voltage falls to the deep-discharge threshold of 10 V, the module disconnects automatically to protect the cell chemistry. Peak draw during regenerative braking events can reach 8 A, so conductor sizing and fuse selection must accommodate this short-term load without excessive voltage drop. An internal NTC sensor monitors temperature and feeds the charging algorithm, allowing compensation for ambient heat to maximize cell life.

The mechanical envelope supports dense cabinet layouts: overall length is 170.5 mm, width is 104 mm, and height is 87.5 mm. These dimensions match the footprint of related 5AC power modules, enabling stack mounting on DIN rails. Operation is specified up to a ceiling of 3000 m above sea level, ensuring reliable service in high-altitude facilities where air pressure is lower and cooling efficiency is reduced. The single-cell VRLA construction avoids series balancing requirements, and the plug-in harness keeps routine maintenance straightforward.
