2.2. Installation USB Drivers The installation of drivers is only required for versions with USB interface. Before starting the installation please make sure that the SITOP DC UPS software (freeware download under www.siemens.de/sitop) is installed completely. Then connect the SITOP DC UPS module with a free USB interface. The SITOP DC UPS module is now identified automatically, the hardware wizard opens:

of 30

Select “Install software from a list or specific location”. Click “Next“ to continue. In the next window you choose the location from where the driver will be installed, normally: ”C:\Program Files\Sitop\DRIVER“. If you have installed the SITOP DC UPS software in a different location, please enter it in the browse field. Click “Next” to continue.

of 30

Please acknowledge the following warning with a click on “Continue Anyway“.

In the next window you complete the driver installation with a click on “Finish“.

of 30

Following the same steps, the driver for a new serial COM port is installed.

In this window you complete the driver installation with a click on “Finish“. The driver for the SITOP DC UPS module is now installed successfully. Yon can control in the device manager whether the SITOP DC UPS module has been identified correctly:

of 30

2.3. Update USB Drivers For the correct function of the SITOP DC UPS software it is necessary to install an up-to-date USB driver. From driver version 2.2.4.0 upwards this is guaranteed. If an older driver is installed already, an update of the USB driver has to be made. Before starting the driver update please make sure that the SITOP DC UPS software (freeware download on www.siemens.de/sitop) is installed completely. Search the entry ”SITOP xx“ in the folder “USB controllers” of the device manager. Mark the entry and by clicking the right mouse button open the context menu “Properties“. Here you can check the driver version.

of 30

If the driver version is less than 2.2.4.0, an update has to be made. In order to do this please activate the button “Update Driver“. Then continue as described in chapter 2.2, “Installation USB drivers”.

4. OPC Server The SITOP DC UPS software “Application” has an integrated OPC server interface. This software interface allows access to information sent by the SITOP DC UPS module out of own applications.

4.1. Manual Registration of OPC Server Before the OPC server interface can be used, it is necessary to register the SITOP DC UPS software in the operating system. If this was not effected during installation, the OPC server can also be registered manually. On clicking the Windows buttons “Start“ -> “Run...“ the following window opens:

As destination the path has to be selected where the program file “SITOP_DC_UPS.exe“ – unpacked in step “Basic Installation“ - is located. The OPC server can be removed by following the same steps, using the parameter “-unregserver“.

4.2. Description of OPC Server Interface Addressing the OPC server interface implicates an automatic start of the SITOP DC UPS software “Application“. Note: On starting the program a stable data connection to the SITOP DC UPS module is built up. This process may last a few seconds. A resulting possible delay of data availability at the OPC server interface must be taken into account.
