Advantech IPS-150 Industrial Power Supply

The Advantech IPS-150 Industrial Power Supply is an intelligent uninterruptible power supply module intended to maintain temporary power for compatible industrial computers and panel PCs when the main DC input is interrupted. By supporting an automatic and controlled computer shutdown, the module helps reduce the risk of data loss, file corruption, and sudden operating-system failure. Customers can contact Emaconn for current pricing, stock information, delivery estimates, and technical product selection assistance.

Power Continuity for Industrial Computers

Industrial computers often operate continuously within machine control, production monitoring, and process supervision systems. A sudden power interruption can stop active software processes and prevent important operating data from being saved correctly. The IPS-150 provides temporary power during this transition, allowing compatible equipment to complete a managed shutdown procedure.

The module operates with a nominal 24 VDC input and supports an input range of 24 VDC ±20%. It delivers a 24 VDC output within the stated tolerance. The typical output current is 5 A, with short-duration support of up to 6.25 A for approximately three to five seconds. The connected computer and peripheral load must remain within the supported electrical capacity.

Intelligent Monitoring and Automatic Shutdown

The IPS-150 does more than provide short-term battery power. It communicates with the connected industrial computer to monitor operating conditions and initiate an automatic shutdown according to the configured timing. This functionality is valuable where a computer must close applications and the operating system safely before backup energy is depleted.

An isolated RS-232 interface is provided for system monitoring and configuration. A software utility allows technicians to manage settings and review module status. LED indicators provide visible information about the battery pack and input power, supporting faster inspection during commissioning and maintenance.

Operating-system compatibility should be verified before implementation. Supported environments include Windows 10 LTSC, Windows 11, and Linux, but suitability may depend on the specific computer model, software image, drivers, and configuration used in the application.

Battery Configuration and Protection

The unit uses a 14.4 VDC, 6900 mAh lithium-ion battery pack. Integrated over-discharge protection helps reduce battery damage caused by excessive discharge. The battery pack is replaceable, allowing maintenance teams to renew the energy-storage component without replacing the complete power management module.

Actual backup duration is influenced by the connected load, battery condition, charging status, operating temperature, and configured shutdown time. For this reason, the module should be tested with the intended computer and application rather than selected according to battery capacity alone.

Battery condition should be included in preventive maintenance planning. If the module remains unused for an extended period, the battery should retain an appropriate charge level and be recharged periodically to reduce the risk of deep discharge during storage.

Applications in Automation and Machine Systems

The Advantech IPS-150 can support industrial computing equipment used in applications such as:

  • Machine control and operator interface systems
  • Panel PC installations in automation environments
  • Production monitoring and data collection stations
  • Process visualization and supervisory control
  • Industrial terminals handling active operational data
  • OEM machinery requiring managed computer shutdown

The module is associated with selected Advantech PPC-300, PPC-400, TPC-B520, TPC-B300, TPC-100, and TPC-300 series equipment. The exact computer model and its power requirements must be checked before purchase. Compatibility should not be assumed only because the connected device belongs to one of these product families.

Mounting and Environmental Requirements

The module is housed in a metal enclosure measuring approximately 196.9 × 157.5 × 42.7 mm. It supports DIN-rail mounting for control cabinet installations and VESA 75/100 mounting for positioning behind compatible panel PCs.

Power is connected through a four-pin terminal block. Installation planning should also account for the control and communication connections required by the shutdown function. Qualified personnel should verify polarity, grounding, connector security, cable routing, and communication before the system is placed into service.

The specified operating temperature range is 0 to 40°C. Relative humidity may reach 95% at 40°C when condensation is prevented. Cabinet design should provide suitable ventilation and protection against excessive heat, moisture, contamination, shock, and vibration.

Essential Checks Before Procurement

Purchasing teams should confirm the full product designation and compare it with the machine documentation. The following information should be reviewed before ordering:

  • Industrial computer or panel PC model
  • Normal and peak power consumption
  • Available 24 VDC input supply
  • Required backup and shutdown behaviour
  • Operating system and software compatibility
  • Control cable and connector requirements
  • DIN-rail or VESA mounting preference
  • Ambient and cabinet conditions

Required cables, mounting hardware, and replacement battery needs should be identified during the same review. This approach can reduce installation delays and prevent incomplete procurement.
