Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
A backup device for an AC power source. A UPS connects between the
AC power source and computer equipment. Should there be a failure of
or interruption in the AC power source, the UPS supplies continuous
power to the computer.
Unit A specific group of plant equipment that processes a particular batch.
For control purposes, such a unit is one entity. Also, a PROVOX point
type. A unit point has the ability to control a plant process unit.
Unit Operation A batch control program; a list of controller instructions to perform
specific mathematical and logical functions, as part of a timeĆandĆevent
sequence for a defined set of plant equipment (the unit). A unit operation
consists of phases, each of which is a set of related steps. Each step is
an elemental control action.
Unit Operations Controller (UOC)
A PROVOX controller designed for batch, sequencing, discontinuous,
and unitĆoriented continuousĆcontrol applications.
Unsolicited An automatic, repetitive reporting method for routine operating data.
UOC Acronym: Unit Operations Controller
Upload The movement of configuration instructions from system devices to a
configuration device or interface. An upload lets the current values of
tuning parameters be incorporated into the configuration source files,
eliminating specific user entry. Uploads also may be used to verify that
configuration instructions are correct.
UPS Acronym: Uninterruptible Power Supply
Utility Programs Standard useful programs, such as those for sorting files, copying disks,
downloading, and performing diagnostics.
UVROM Acronym: Ultraviolet ReadĆOnly Memory
