3.1
System Overview
SITOP Manager consists of three modular services that can be installed and run individually.
They are the SITOP Manager Service (MGR), the SITOP Gateway Service (GWS) and the
SITOP Shutdown Service (SDS). So, the engineer of the respective plant can decide which
services are installed on each machine.
The scopes of the services are as follows:
1. The SITOP Manager Service (MGR) represented by its icon ( ) is used to browse, to
engineer, to commission and to monitor multiple SITOP objects like SITOP UPS1600 and
SITOP PSU8600 and/or SITOP Shutdown Service. The user interface is realized via a
web interface and can be accessed locally or remotely.
2. The SITOP Shutdown Service (SDS) represented by its icon ( ) is responsible for the
communication between the IPC on which it is installed and a buffering device (i.e.
SITOP UPS1600, PSU8600). It is the minimum required service to trigger the shutdown
of the IPC, given a (buffered) power failure. SDS can be configured within the MGR, but
also directly via an integrated web interface (necessary for installations without MGR).
3. The SITOP Gateway Service (GWS) represented by its icon ( ) is responsible for the
communication between SITOP UPS1600 with USB interface and the OPC UA interface
needed for the SDS and MGR. The Gateway Service is installed on the IPC to which the
SITOP UPS1600 is physically connected via USB.
Together these three services constitute the software product SITOP Manager.
Application
The main tasks that you can perform with SITOP Manager are as follows:
● Commissioning and monitoring of SITOP UPS1600 and PSU8600
● Online engineering of multiple SITOP UPS1600 and PSU8600
● Offline engineering of multiple SITOP UPS1600 and PSU8600
● Controlled shutdown of buffered IPC systems (IPC 24 Volt)
● Backup project configurations for archiving and replacement
● Secure data exchange and communication
With the specification of further applications and alarms, you define a comprehensive
protection of your computer and/or computer network.

4.2.2
Silent Installation
The Installer offers the possibility to install SITOP Manager per command line.
CAUTION
You must have Windows administrator privileges in order to perform the silent installation.
The steps for performing a silent or an unattended installation are as follows:
1. Open a command prompt window and navigate to the directory where the Setup_SITOP-
Manager_V1-0-0.exe file is located.
2. Install from command line.
The following table identifies the command-line options:
Parameters
Description
/MGR
(optional) Installs SITOP Manager
/GWS (optional) Installs the SITOP Gateway Service
/SDS
(optional) Installs the SITOP Shutdown Service
You can choose to install all three components by writing all three parameters or choose only one
or two of the components to install, but you have to install at least one component.
/D= (required) Specifies the installation directory, e.g. /D=C:\....
Please be aware that the silent installation program gives you the possibility to
select the directory where you want the application to be installed!
/norestart (optional) Prevents the restart of your IPC at the end of the installation.
Under certain conditions, a system reboot might be necessary for the installation to
complete successfully. The option "norestart" causes the installation program to not
reboot the system if circumstances would otherwise cause the reboot to occur.
While this option is convenient, please use this parameter with caution because if
the silent installer needs to reboot your system and this "norestart" command is
used, then no installation will take place!
In order to install from command line, you can use the following syntax:
>Setup_SITOP-Manager_V1-0-0.exe /MGR /SDS /GWS /D=C:\<destination directory>
When you are running the installation in silent mode, please keep in mind the following
considerations:
● Silent mode installation requires the same amount of temporary disk space and uses the
same temporary storage directories as a standard installation. The installation program
does not alert you if there is not enough space in the temporary directory.
● You can reinstall SITOP Manager over a previously installed same version of SITOP
Manager in the same home directory and in the same file location. You can add any of
the three components to an already existing installation. For example, you can install one
service during one installation and another service during a separate installation (or any
variation thereof). Any of the three components can be installed over the corresponding
components already installed, whether of the same version or of different versions, but an
already installed component cannot be moved to another location after the installation is
completed. If you want to move an already installed component to another location, you
have to uninstall it and then reinstall it to the newly desired location.

Differences between Desktop and Mobile Display
SITOP Manager uses responsive design to reformat the view optimizing itself for display on
both desktop and mobile devices.
NOTICE
Mobile web access provides the same functionalities as desktop web access.
The main difference between the mobile view and the desktop view of SITOP Manager
resides in the fact that the mobile view has a vertical alignment of the content view instead of
the horizontal alignment of the desktop view.
Another difference is that the mobile web access presents an icon for drag and drop ( )
functionality, while the desktop web access does not need it due to the ease of access in this
view.
The layout of SITOP Manager (mobile web access) does not consist of different views
because otherwise there would be too much information on just one page, which cannot be
displayed well on mobile devices, yet it does always have one active view.
Using SITOP Manager on Mobile Devices
The requirements for accessing SITOP Manager with mobile phones or devices are
mentioned in subchapter Preconditions (Page 17).

Object Description Catalog (ODC)
SITOP Manager engineering (meaning the software's offline and online functionalities) is
based on the ODC. The ODC file contains the configuration data of all supported SITOP
OPC UA communicative devices and services in all firmware revisions available until the
SITOP Manager release date.
NOTICE
There is no need to reinstall SITOP Manager in case new firmware is available for the
supported devices and services, as a new ODC file can be easily imported into SITOP
Manager with the function "Import ODC" (please refer to point 2 below).
The ODC information is needed for offline engineering. The catalog is displayed in the
OFFLINE Project view by clicking the Add ( ) icon at the bottom of the OFFLINE Project
area. The version of the ODC currently being used/imported into SITOP Manager is
displayed on the right of the dialog heading, in this case V1.0.0. The list in the Objects
catalog shows the objects within that can be configured offline:

1. With the delivery of SITOP Manager. A new version of SITOP Manager will always have
complete history, included all the devices in the ODCs available up to the release date.
2. ODCs of new devices/services versions will be available for download from SIOS. These
can then be loaded and updated with the function "Import ODC" in the menu ( ) icon in
the upper right corner of the Top header view. For further detailed information regarding
the "Import ODC" function, please refer to subchapter Top Header View (Page 43).
Special remarks:

Administration of an OFFLINE Project
SITOP Manager provides offline engineering functionality. Offline engineering allows the
user to configure an object without it being physically connected to SITOP Manager. This
allows engineers to review, create and backup device configurations without the necessity of
being onsite. This functionality can be performed by using the OFFLINE Project view.

SITOP Gateway Service (USB Devices)
Functionality of the Service and User Interface
Network interfaces detection
Because the SITOP devices with USB interface cannot communicate with SITOP Manager
directly, an OPC UA communicative middleware (SITOP Gateway Service) is needed.
The SITOP device with USB interface plus the SITOP Gateway Service acts to the outside
world as a SITOP device with an Ethernet interface.
Prerequisite:
● The SITOP Gateway Service has to run on the IPC where the SITOP device with USB
interface is connected to.
In order to successfully add the Gateway Service to the ONLINE Connections, you have to
follow the steps described in subchapter Add Object to ONLINE Connections (Page 73).
The figure below shows a successfully connected Gateway Service object referencing to the
UPS1600 USB in ONLINE Connections:
In case the SITOP Manager cannot establish the connection to the Gateway Service, please
verify the exclamation mark icon ( ) message and follow the instructions in chapter
Troubleshooting (Page 167).
6.3.8
SITOP Shutdown Service
Functionality of the Service
The SITOP Shutdown Service (SDS) is responsible for the controlled shutdown of the IPC
on which it is installed in the event of power supply failure and buffer operation start.
Furthermore, the service triggers on certain alarms of the assigned buffer component user
specified command scripts (Events).
Engineering
6.3 Online Engineering
SITOP Manager User Manual
Function Manual, 08.2018, A5E43455517-2-76 123
Following service events can be triggered on the PC where the service is running in
connection with an assigned buffer component:
● Power failure
● Power return
● Start shutdown sequence
● Ready for shutdown
● Buffer operation or shutdown not possible
The service offers two different configuration and application possibilities. It can be
configured within the MGR, but also directly via a Standalone web interface (necessary for
installations without MGR).
In order to successfully add the Shutdown Service to the ONLINE Connections, you have to
follow the steps described in subchapter Add Object to ONLINE Connections (Page 73).
Buffer component assignment
The SITOP Shutdown Service must be linked to a device with buffering capabilities in order
for the shutdown events and triggers to be correctly initiated. This process is referred to as
buffer component assignment.
After adding the Shutdown Service to the ONLINE Connections, you can see the new online
SDS without buffer component assignment. After the connection between MGR and SDS is
established, the object is marked by an exclamation mark black highlighted ( ) symbol near
the arrow ( ) symbol pointing to a missing buffer component assignment. At mouse over, the
tooltip shows you that there is no buffer component assigned:
Buffer component assignment can be made in two different ways:
1. Within the MGR interface: via Manager (recommended)
A successful assignment is visualized by references of the assigned objects in ONLINE
Connections. The figure below shows a successful assignment example of a Shutdown
Service assigned to a UPS1600 PN device:

Alarms
The SITOP Manager alarm list can be accessed with the function View alarms in the menu
icon in the Top header view, while the SITOP Shutdown Service alarms can be accessed
with the function Pending alarms in the Diagnostics tab.
There are 13 SITOP Manager alarms and 8 SITOP Shutdown Service alarms.
Each alarm has a certain ID number attributed, for instance, the alarm "Device connected"
has always ID number 3. For further detailed information, please refer to the corresponding
lists below.
The Incoming/outgoing message in the third column marks the occurrence or the rectification
of the alarm event.
In the case of UPS1600 devices there are two types of alarms:
● static (the alarm is both Incoming and Outgoing), for instance: the "Buffering" alarm is
"Incoming" when the device goes into buffer mode and "Outgoing" when the device
returns to normal mode (the time difference between outgoing and incoming is the time
that the device was buffering).
● dynamic (the alarm is only Incoming), for instance: the alarm "SW Update OK" is
displayed only in the "History Alarms" list.
For further detailed information regarding the character of the alarms, please refer to
subchapters SITOP Manager Alarms (Page 174) and SITOP Shutdown Service Alarms
(Page 174).
The severity indicates the severity of the alarm. There are four severity levels: the same
severity levels already defined for each of the SITOP devices. The severity is additional
signalized by the corresponding icons used also for the device alarms.
For the PSU8600, we have the following list of alarms severity:
