DURAmax DC UPS provides 24 VDC battery backup for PLCs, sensors, and other industrial automation devices during main power interruptions.

Weidmulle introduced its DURAmax DC UPS, a 24 VDC uninterruptible power supply designed for industrial automation applications. The DURAmax DC UPS supplies provide backup power to devices, such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and sensors. If the main power supply is interrupted, the unit automatically switches to battery operation, helping to maintain system operation and reduce unplanned downtime.

The compact design is intended for applications where control cabinet space is limited. Weidmuller has also developed the DURAmax DC UPS Manager software for configuring the UPS and connected battery modules through a USB-C interface. The DURAmax DC UPS can be used with Weidmuller’s PRO ECO II, PRO MAX, and PRO TOP 24 VDC power supplies and DURA ECO battery modules.
Key features include:
Temperature-compensated battery charging.
LED bar graph display for status and fault diagnostics.
Battery cold-start functionality that enables startup using battery power.
PUSH IN connection technology for installation and wiring.
Support for configuration through the DURAmax DC UPS Manager.
Product architecture designed to support cybersecurity requirements and readiness for the European Union Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).
The PUSH IN connection technology includes clearly labeled terminals intended to help simplify wiring. Weidmuller reports that the product architecture has also been developed with the requirements of the EU Cyber Resilience Act in mind, adding a cybersecurity consideration to the UPS system alongside its primary role of maintaining power availability.
