Siemens 6EP1931-2EC31 SITOP DC UPS 24V/15A Serial Interface DC UPS Module
SITOP DC UPS module, 24V DC / 15A output, serial interface, 96.2% efficiency, IP20.
Description
About the DC UPS
About the DC UPS
The Siemens 6EP1931-2EC31 is a SITOP DC UPS module rated 24 V DC / 15 A output, drawing 22...29 V DC / 16 A at the input, that bridges mains power cuts with a connected battery module. It reaches 96.2% efficiency at rated output and adds a serial interface for status and configuration on top of floating relay contacts.

Selection Notes
This is the 15 A member of the SITOP DC UPS family with a serial interface, useful where the supervising controller already polls status over RS-232/RS-485 instead of USB. Choose the USB-interface 15 A variant if the host is a PC, or the 6 A or 40 A variants in the same family when the load current differs. The 96.2% efficiency and 14 W power loss at rated output keep enclosure heat load low compared to the 6 A module scaled up, and the 1 s startup delay should be accounted for when sequencing downstream 24 V loads.
Applications
Bridges the 24 V DC control supply for PLCs, remote I/O, and HMI panels through short mains interruptions until standby generators start or the supply recovers, using a separately ordered battery module for energy storage.
