In modern smart manufacturing environments, uninterrupted power is not merely a convenience — it is the backbone of every data link in the automation chain. The Phoenix Contact QUINT-UPS/24DC/24DC/40 2320241 is a 40A, 24VDC-in / 24VDC-out industrial uninterruptible power supply engineered for the QUINT Series power architecture. It ensures that field devices, PLC controllers, remote I/O modules, HMI panels, SCADA gateways, variable frequency drives, and edge computing nodes remain continuously powered and communicating — even during mains failures, voltage dips, or transient disturbances on the plant floor.
Designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial connectivity, the QUINT-UPS/24DC/24DC/40 2320241 delivers seamless DC power bridging with zero switchover time, protecting the integrity of real-time data flows across Profibus, PROFINET, Modbus RTU/TCP, EtherNet/IP, and DeviceNet networks. Its intelligent battery management system monitors state-of-charge in real time and communicates status signals to upstream SCADA systems and DCS platforms, enabling predictive maintenance and remote diagnostics without interrupting production.

Connected Automation Data Flow
The QUINT-UPS/24DC/24DC/40 2320241 sits at the heart of a resilient industrial power and data architecture. Consider a typical smart factory cell: a Phoenix Contact QUINT-PS/1AC/24DC/40 primary power supply feeds 24VDC to the UPS module, which in turn powers a Siemens S7-1500 PLC and its associated ET 200SP remote I/O distributed across the production line. The PLC communicates over PROFINET to a Siemens TP1200 Comfort HMI panel, where operators monitor real-time process data. Simultaneously, a Phoenix Contact FL SWITCH 2008 managed industrial Ethernet switch aggregates data from multiple field nodes and routes it upstream to a Wonderware SCADA server via a Phoenix Contact TC ROUTER 3002T industrial router.
When a mains disturbance occurs, the QUINT-UPS/24DC/24DC/40 2320241 instantly bridges power with zero interruption. The PLC continues executing its control program, the Beckhoff EL6652 EtherNet/IP slave terminal keeps its fieldbus communication alive, and the Endress+Hauser Promag 10H flow sensor continues transmitting process values. The UPS simultaneously sends a power-fail signal to the PLC’s digital input, triggering a pre-programmed alarm sequence in the SCADA system — notifying maintenance personnel via the HMI and initiating a controlled shutdown sequence if battery reserve falls below threshold. A Phoenix Contact QUINT-BAT/24DC/7AH battery module extends the bridging time, while the Phoenix Contact QUINT-DIODE/40AC/24DC/2X20/1X40 redundancy module ensures no single point of failure in the DC bus. Throughout this entire sequence, the Moxa NPort 5150A serial device server continues converting RS-485 Modbus RTU signals from legacy sensors into Ethernet Modbus TCP, maintaining full data visibility in the SCADA historian without data loss.
Solving Data Isolation in Industrial Sites
One of the most persistent challenges in industrial automation is data isolation — the condition where field devices, legacy PLCs, and modern Ethernet-based systems cannot exchange information reliably due to protocol mismatches, power instability, or network segmentation. The QUINT-UPS/24DC/24DC/40 2320241 directly addresses the power continuity dimension of this problem, ensuring that protocol gateways, communication modules, and network switches remain operational during power events that would otherwise create data gaps in the historian or trigger false alarms in the SCADA system.
By maintaining uninterrupted 24VDC supply to communication infrastructure — including Profibus DP masters, PROFINET controllers, Modbus TCP gateways, and EtherNet/IP adapters — the QUINT-UPS/24DC/24DC/40 2320241 eliminates the root cause of many data isolation incidents. Plant managers gain full production line transparency: OEE dashboards remain live, alarm histories are complete, and remote diagnostic sessions via VPN or industrial router are never dropped mid-session. System integrators can confidently expand the network by adding new remote I/O stations, additional HMI nodes, or edge computing gateways, knowing that the power infrastructure will scale with the communication architecture.
Every unit is shipped after full functional testing, including output voltage verification, battery charge cycle validation, and signal contact output confirmation. Stock is available for shipment arranged after confirmation, and each QUINT-UPS/24DC/24DC/40 2320241 is covered by a warranty terms confirmed during quotation from date of shipment.
Industrial Connectivity FAQ
Q1: Does the QUINT-UPS/24DC/24DC/40 2320241 introduce any communication latency during a power switchover?
No. The switchover time is 0 ms, meaning the output voltage is maintained without interruption. PLC scan cycles, PROFINET communication frames, and Modbus TCP polling intervals are completely unaffected during a mains failure event.
Q2: Is this UPS compatible with PROFINET, Modbus TCP, and EtherNet/IP network architectures?
Yes. The QUINT-UPS/24DC/24DC/40 2320241 powers the 24VDC rail that supplies PROFINET controllers, Modbus TCP gateways, EtherNet/IP adapters, and managed industrial switches. Its signal contact output integrates directly with PLC digital inputs for alarm and status reporting within any of these network architectures.
Q3: How does the UPS support remote monitoring and SCADA integration?
The unit provides a potential-free signal contact that changes state upon mains failure or low battery condition. This signal is wired to a PLC digital input, which then propagates the alarm to the SCADA/HMI system via the existing fieldbus or Ethernet network. Some configurations also use a Phoenix Contact ILC 131 ETH inline controller to read UPS status and publish it as a PROFINET data object.
Q4: What is the warranty coverage and how is the unit tested before shipment?
Each QUINT-UPS/24DC/24DC/40 2320241 carries a warranty terms confirmed during quotation from the date of shipment. Prior to dispatch, every unit undergoes output voltage load testing, battery management circuit verification, and signal contact functional testing to ensure full operational integrity upon arrival at your facility.
