SITOP DC UPS module, 24V DC / 40A output, no interface, 97.2% efficiency, IP20.
The Siemens 6EP1931-2FC21 is a SITOP DC UPS module rated 24 V DC / 40 A output, drawing 22...29 V DC / 43 A at the input, that bridges mains power cuts with a connected battery module. It has no PC interface and relies on LED status indicators and floating relay contacts, reaching 97.2% efficiency at rated output.
This is the 40 A member of the SITOP DC UPS family without a PC interface, sized for the wider enclosure (102 mm vs 50 mm) that the higher current demands. Choose the USB-interface 40 A variant instead when a PC needs to log battery status or set the buffer voltage, or the 6 A or 15 A variants in the same family for smaller loads. At 40 A the module draws 43 A at the input and dissipates 28.6 W at rated output, so enclosure ventilation and adjacent-module spacing matter more than on the smaller variants.
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.
