Advantech IPS-150A Industrial Power Supply
The Advantech IPS-150A Industrial Power Supply is an intelligent uninterruptible power supply module developed to protect compatible industrial computers and panel PCs during an interruption to the main DC supply. It provides temporary 24 VDC output power and supports a controlled computer shutdown, helping reduce the risk of data loss and electrical disruption. Emaconn can assist international B2B customers with current pricing, availability, lead time information, and technical selection checks.
Temporary Power for Controlled System Shutdown
An unexpected loss of power can interrupt industrial software, damage active files, and prevent an operating system from shutting down correctly. The IPS-150A is designed to bridge this critical period by supplying temporary power to compatible equipment. Its intelligent power management capabilities allow the connected computer to complete an orderly shutdown instead of stopping immediately.
The module has a nominal 24 VDC input with a permitted range of 24 VDC ±20% and supplies a 24 VDC output within the specified tolerance. Its typical output current is 5 A, while a maximum of 6.25 A can be supported for approximately three to five seconds. System designers must confirm that both the normal load and short-duration demand remain within these limits.
Battery and Power Management Functions
The unit incorporates a 14.4 VDC, 6900 mAh lithium-ion battery pack. Over-discharge protection helps protect battery condition, while the replaceable battery arrangement supports maintenance without requiring the complete power module to be replaced.
Configuration and monitoring software allows operating status and shutdown behaviour to be managed from a compatible computer. The automatic shutdown timing can be configured according to application requirements. Status LED indicators provide visual information concerning input power and battery conditions, allowing operators and technicians to identify the current operating state.
The module also provides an isolated RS-232 interface for monitoring and settings. Before integration, the software environment and operating system must be checked. Advantech documentation lists support for Windows 10 LTSC, Windows 11, and Linux, although compatibility should be verified for the exact system image and software version used in the project.
Compatible Industrial Computing Applications
The Advantech IPS-150A can be evaluated for applications where a brief power interruption could affect industrial computing operations, including:
- Panel PCs used for machine control and operator interfaces
- Industrial computers running production monitoring software
- Factory automation terminals and HMI installations
- Data acquisition and process supervision systems
- Equipment requiring a controlled operating system shutdown
- OEM machines incorporating compatible Advantech computers
The supported product families include selected Advantech PPC-300, PPC-400, TPC-B520, TPC-B300, TPC-100, and TPC-300 series equipment. Compatibility should not be assumed solely from the series name. The exact computer model, power demand, control connection, operating system, and installation method should be reviewed before ordering.
Mechanical Design and Installation Options
The metal enclosure measures approximately 196.9 × 157.5 × 42.7 mm and supports both DIN-rail installation and VESA 75/100 mounting. These options allow the module to be installed inside a suitable control cabinet or positioned behind a compatible panel PC.
Its power connections use a four-pin terminal block. The module also includes connections for system control and RS-232 communication. Installation should be performed by qualified personnel with power isolated. Input polarity, output wiring, grounding, control cables, and connector security must be checked before commissioning.
The operating environment is also an important selection factor. The specified operating temperature range is 0 to 40°C, with relative humidity up to 95% at 40°C under non-condensing conditions. Adequate ventilation should be maintained, and the unit must be protected against condensation, excessive heat, contamination, and mechanical damage.
Battery Maintenance and Service Planning
Battery condition directly affects available backup time. Actual charging and backup duration can vary according to the connected computer, load, ambient temperature, battery condition, and system configuration. Maintenance teams should test shutdown behaviour periodically instead of assuming that the original backup performance will remain unchanged throughout the battery lifecycle.
If the battery remains unused for an extended period, it should be stored in a cool, dry environment with an appropriate charge level. Periodic charging helps prevent deep discharge during long storage. A battery showing deformation, unusual heat, discoloration, odour, or other abnormal behaviour should be removed from service according to approved safety procedures.
Ordering and Technical Support from Emaconn
Emaconn supports companies sourcing the Advantech IPS-150A for new industrial computing projects, preventive maintenance inventories, or replacement requirements.
