April 15, 2026 – AutomationDirect now offers BLOCK DC uninterrupted power supply (UPS) devices and modules which provide low-cost solutions for applications requiring continuous equipment operation. The Power Advanced series offers a switching power supply and a battery control module in one unit for optimal battery management, along with a UPS system to monitor the battery for low power conditions. New BLOCK battery control modules work with 24 VDC power supplies of any brand to easily add a reliable UPS to existing systems.
The BLOCK buffer control module uses Electrolytic Double Layer Capacitors (EDLC) to monitor, control, and provide backup power to a unit without using traditional battery control modules and batteries. This unit is ideal for applications requiring short-duration power bridging with maintenance-free operation and an extended lifespan. The BLOCK battery storage modules provide an enclosed compartment where a battery can be stored. Combined with a power supply and battery control module, these storage devices build a complete UPS system that will quickly switch from standby to full power, maintaining grid reliability. The BLOCK Power Mini series power supplies offer performance and reliability without the higher cost of full-featured power supplies. These robust power supplies feature a compact form factor, excellent transient voltage protection, and are adaptable for a wide range of applications.
