2. SYSTEM CONTROLLER

The SC1006NET system controller is housed in the power system’s rack along side a

user-defined number of rectifiers (one or more), which it monitors and controls along

with the rest of the system’s components (i.e. LVDs, batteries, etc.).

The controller is a “Hot Swap” Plug-In model that can be replaced or switched on and

off during system operation without damaging either the controller or the system's

operation mode or components.

The controller’s main components include the front panel communication port and the

back panel connector that links the controller to the system.

2.2 RS232 Communication Protocol & Data Structure

The SC1006 system controller supports a unique RS232 communication protocol.

This protocol allows a user at a remote location to send commands to the controller

and retrieve data and status information from it:

1. The command packet (sent to the controller) includes the operation codes to be

carried out by the controller plus any data required for that operation.

2. The retrieved packet (sent by the controller) includes all possible data that can

be supplied by the controller. It is sent every time a valid command packet is

received, even if the command packet only contains a non-operation

command.

2.2.1 General Information

The communication protocol adheres to the following general rules:

1. The host PC and the controller communicate via Half-Duplex RS232 9600.N.1

RX, TX, GND lines with no flow control (neither hardware nor software).

2. The host is always the master and the controller is the slave.

3. The data is binary with no dedicated control characters.

4. Data transmitted by each end has a constant length.

5. Three elements are utilized for data reliability:

a. three byte – header

b. one byte – check sum

c. three byte – termination.

6. On receiving a valid packet, the controller starts responding within 50 msec.

7. On receiving a header start (0 × AC) a 500msec, a long reception window is

initiated. If a valid packet is received it is processed, otherwise, the controller

backs-off by initializing the reception counter.

Page 14: Sc 1006 Net Gama Tronic

Gamatronic Electronic Industries Ltd. User Guide

POWER SYSTEM CONTROLLER MODEL SC1006 UNIVERSAL NET

10

2.2.2 Master

The “master” is normally a PC or a remote power management system. The master

sends its packet, which includes the header, opcode, data, checksum and termination.

The ten-byte opcode bit-combination enables the user to perform one or more

functions simultaneously.

The 97-byte data should include operation-relevant data set by the user as opcode.

2.2.3 Slave

The “slave” is normally the SC1006NET controller. The slave responds as soon as it

receives a valid packet, which includes a header, received_opcode,

received_checksum, id, data, checksum and termination.

1. The received_opcode is the last opcode received from the master.

2. The received_checksum is the last checksum received from the master.

3. The four-byte id consists of preprogrammed three bytes and an additional byte,

which may be programmed by the master.

4. The 118-byte data always includes all the data or status information that the

user may request, i.e., every transaction relayed from the master to the slave

results in the retrieval of all possible data that the slave is able to supply.

Note: The data retrieved in a transaction does not include the changes made by the

host’s command (if any). Another retrieval should take place in order to receive the

values affected in the previous command.

2.2.4 TCP/IP Communication

The SC1006Net controller enables the user to communicate via SNMP and to send

alarms to remote NMS(s).

Gamatronic applications that work with the SC1006Net controller are PSM-DC

1006Net, GeMS and Global Control. Before these applications can monitor and

control the power system, the user must set the IP, Gateway and Mask addresses of the

controller and the IP addresses of the remote NMS(s) that are to receive Alarm Traps

(optional).

The codes for the controller addresses are:

• IP: B01-B04

• Gateway: B05-B08

• Mask: B09-B12

To set the addresses of the controller via its front panel:

1. Go into Edit mode. To enter Edit mode:

Press and hold . You will hear a beep, and the screen displays “888”.

Quickly, while “888” is still displayed, and while still holding , press ENT.

This brings you into Edit mode.

2. In Edit mode, the screen flashes continuously. Every four or five flashes, it

displays the current field code. The first field code you will see is A01.

3. Press the arrow buttons until B01 appears and press ENT.

(See Table 7 on page 32 for the meaning of the various codes displayed on the

screen.)

4. Change the value of the address using the arrows and press ENT to save the value.

5. Press the arrow buttons until B02 is displayed.

6. Repeat step 3 until the contents of the B01-B12 fields have been set.

7. Press ESC to return to Monitoring Mode.

To configure an MIB Browser to receive Alarm Traps from the controller:

1. Open a MIB Browser.

2. Enter the IP address of the controller into the Remote SNMP Agent field.

3. Open a MIB Compiler.

4. Add Gamatronic PS MIB to the compiler.

5. Compile it in psTrap; alarm traps appear in the MIB tree in psSecurityTrapIp1,

psSecurityTrapIp2, psSecurityTrapIp3, or psSecurityTrapIp4.

Note: It is possible to configure up to four NMS.

2.3 Linking Other Equipment to the SC1006

The circuit boards installed in the SC1006 determine the protocol it uses to

communicate with the devices attached to it.

For serial RS232 communication, only the PC157 motherboard is required.

For TCP/IP communication, the addition of either the PC575 (or PC375) is also

required. The additional card is connected to the PC177 card with two connectors.

2.3.1 Changing SC1006Net to SC1006Serial

To transform SC1006Net into SC1006Serial, a technician must:

1. Replace the 10baseT cable connecting SC1006Net to PS1006 with a cross

cable (see Figure 3)

2. Change the jumpers on the SC1006Net controller card to match the jumpers in

3. Theory of Operation

SC1006 monitors and controls the PS1006 power supply system with:

1. Nominal values of system parameters that can be setup by the user or imported

from a parameters bank.

2. Measurements of the system's input AC voltage and output DC voltage and

current.

3. Responses to data received from the system.

4. Fault detection and alarms.

3.1 Modifying Nominal Values

The values the following power system parameters can be set by the user or imported

from a parameter bank (see Default Parameter Banks, page 19):

1. Output voltage.

2. Battery test.

3. Battery charge current limit.

4. Battery temperature compensation.

5. LVD opening.

6. Alarm thresholds.

3.1.1 Output Voltage

The system output voltage set by the controller is affected by:

1. Activated charge mode (floating/equalizing).

2. Battery temperature compensation (if enabled).

3. Battery test (if activated).

4. Battery charge current limit (if enabled).

5. Deviation of output voltage.

In the absence of a controller or in the event of a controller failure, the output voltage

reverts to the system's default output voltage.

3.1.1.1 Output / Floating Voltage Setup

To change the output / floating voltage setting:

1. Press the arrow buttons until the VDC LED is lit.

The floating voltage is displayed.

2. Press the ENT button. The display flashes.

3. Use the arrow buttons to set the output voltage.

4. Press ENT to save the new setting.

5. Press ESC to quit.

3.1.2 Battery Test

The user may manually initiate a battery test at any time via a control button or a

remote application. In addition, an enabled automatic battery test occurs whenever a

period of days (set by the user) has passed.

The battery test uses an algorithm involving the actual battery current and battery

capacity that is set by the user and which can always be modified by the user.

The formula is:

TIME LEFT (sec) =

[BATTERY CAPACITY (AH) × 180 / BATTERY CURRENT (A)] – ELAPSED TIME (sec)

In any event, the test time does not exceed the time limit parameter. The controller can

handle up to two battery sets (the number of batteries is set by the user). It uses the

LVDs to switch off the battery not being tested. Throughout the test, the supply

voltage is lowered to a defined voltage set by the user which allows the battery to

discharge. The controller continually checks the battery’s voltage, waiting for it to

cross the threshold set by the user as the criteria that indicates a bad battery. If

threshold is crossed, the test of the battery is aborted and the battery is considered

faulty. The results are stored separately in a non-volatile memory.

3.1.3 Battery Charge Current Limit

The battery charge current limit controls, if enabled, the output voltage in the event

that the battery current is higher then the preset user value. The control is achieved in

real-time, ensuring that the higher the current reaches, the lower the output voltage

(and vice versa).

To set up the total battery charge current limit of the power system, you must enter

Edit mode and change the values defined for field codes C17 and D10. Refer to

3.1.4 Battery Charge Temperature Compensation

The system’s temperature is measured by two sensors. These real-time sensors are

used for determining the amount of temperature compensation required as well as the

criteria for activating the over temperature alarm.

The battery current compensation effects, if enabled, the output voltage according to

the formula below, where K is the compensation value determined by the user.

VP (T°C) = VP (25°C) – 24 × K (T°C - 25°C)

Where the VP is limited in the following way:

VP (25°C) – 1.5 < VP < VP (25°C) + 2

3.1.4.1 Battery Charge Temperature Compensation Setup

By default, the battery charge temperature compensation is set to 6mV per battery cell.

To change the compensation setting:

1. Press the arrow buttons until the TEMP LED is lit.

2. Press the ENT button to display the mV compensation value.

3. Use the arrow buttons to modify the compensation value, if required.

4. Press the ENT button to save the new setting.

3.1.5 LVD

System controller SC1006 supports up to two LVDs. The number of LVDs (one or

two) is set by the user and equals the number of battery sets.

The LVD’s first and most important task is to disconnect the batteries in the event

that a deep discharge is endangering the battery’s life. The user determines the criteria

for opening each LVD separately. The user also defines the hysteresis (the gap

between the opening and closing voltage of an LVD).

The LVD’s second function - during the battery test - is to disconnect the battery not

being tested (in the case of a two battery system only). It is possible to turn off or

normalize asynchronously each of the LVDs, regardless of the system status.

3.1.5.1 LVD Voltage Setup

To change the voltage on both LVDs:

1. Press the arrow buttons until the ABAT LED is lit.

2. Press the ENT button to display the existing LVD voltage setting.

The display flashes.

3. Use the arrow buttons to change the voltage setting as required.

4. Press ENT to save the new setting

5. Press ESC to return to Monitoring mode.

3.1.6 Alarm Thresholds

There is a range of permitted values for each system parameter. If the value of a

system parameter is outside the defined range, an alarm is triggered (see Setting up

Alarm Thresholds, page 28).

3.2 Default Parameter Banks

There are two categories of stored default values for parameters, which can be

retrieved at any time to become the current values of parameters:

• Factory defaults determined by Gamatronic. The user may retrieve them but

cannot modify them.

• The user default bank in which the current parameters can be copied and later

retrieved as default parameters.

The two options allow the user the flexibility and confidence of being able to return to

the factory defaults, as well as the convenience of retrieving user-defined parameters

already stored as good functioning ones.

the user via both the controller's panel and a remote software application. In addition,

an entire bank can be copied into it. For this purpose, the user can choose to copy

either Factory or User Defaults to the actual bank (see Saving and Restoring Nominal

Values, page 27).

Factory Defaults are rigidly determined by the factory, while User Defaults can be

created and saved by the user from a setup existing in the controller at any time.

3.3 Measurement of System Parameters

The system parameters described in the following table are constantly being measured

to provide updated data about their real-time status. The permitted nominal value

range for these parameters is set by the user or the manufacturer. If the monitored

value for these parameters is out of the permitted range, an alarm is triggered. (See

Fault Detection and Alarms, page 21 for a table listing the faults linked to each alarm

message.

3.4 Fault Detection and Alarms

The controller generates alarms in response to the power system faults described in

the following table. When an alarm becomes active the Fault LED lights up, the

alarm buzzer sounds, and an alarm message - marked by a Time Stamp - is recorded

in the Event Log. One of the LED status indicators may light up too.

Each alarm remains active for as long as the fault remains active. It disappears as

soon as the fault no longer exists. The exception to this is a failed battery test.

Batteries must pass the battery test for their alarm status to revert to normal.

The alarm message associated with each fault is described in the following table:

4.2 Changing the Battery Charge Mode

There are two battery charge modes, each of which has different settings and output

voltages:

• Floating - Normal battery charging mode

• Equalizing - Forced, accelerated battery charging mode

If the automatic equalizing mode is enabled, the system automatically goes into

equalizing mode after:

• the passage of a set period of time.

• a power failure or controller startup (after a delay of ten minutes).

• the batteries are discharged.

The equalizing session is terminated when either a pre-set time limit is reached or the

charge current becomes low (1/10 of the battery’s capacity in amperes).

Note: In the event of a power failure an equalizing mode session is aborted.

The user can manually switch to either of these modes at any time.

To manually switch to Equalizing mode: Press the EQ button when the system is

in Floating mode.

4.3 Testing Power System Components

The user can test three power system components to verify they are working properly:

• Batteries.

• 7-Segment Display/Alarm buzzer/LEDs.

• Relays.

4.3.1 Battery Test

The system automatically tests up to 2 batteries periodically. The user can set the

length of time between battery tests and the battery test’s duration. If the battery tests

exceed the time specified, it is automatically aborted.

There are 2 possible methods of testing the batteries:

1. When setting up 1 set of batteries, while connected to the rectifier the voltage

should decrease to 45V (for 48VDC applications) or to 22.5V (for 24VDC

applications).

If while testing the voltage drops below 46v (for 48VCD applications) or below

23VDC (for 24VDC applications), the battery is faulty.

2. When setting up 2 sets of batteries, the controller disconnects one set and checks

the other as above.

At controller setup, the battery capacity should total the battery capacity string.

To manually start a battery test: Press the Batt Test button.

To manually abort an ongoing battery test: Press the Batt Test button while the

batteries are being tested.

4.6 Recalibrating the Power System's Measurements

The power system is calibrated before it leaves the factory to guarantee precise voltage

and current measurements by removing measurement inaccuracies on the hardware

path. However, if it becomes necessary to recalibrate it again, an authorized

technician can easily recalibrate the system's two measured voltages and two

measured currents at any time remotely via software or directly via the controller.

Before the system can be recalibrated the real value of the measurements must be

determined with an accurate, 3-digit Digital Multi Meter (DMM) such as Fluke model

87. These values are then used to recalibrate the system (see below).

To determine the real value of system measurements:

1. Disconnect the system's batteries (so that Load Current = Rectifier Current).

2. Use a DMM to measure the real value of the measurements as described in Figure

8 and the table below.

To calibrate system measurements:

1. Press and hold . You will hear a beep, and the screen displays “888”.

Quickly, while “888” is still displayed, and while still holding , press ENT.

This brings you into Edit mode.

2. In Edit mode, the screen flashes continuously. Every four or five flashes, it

displays the current field code. The first field code you will see is A01.

3. Press the arrow buttons until the controller calibration code is displayed and press

ENT. (Table 7 on page 32 lists the meaning of each field code.)

Page 34: Sc 1006 Net Gama Tronic

Gamatronic Electronic Industries Ltd. User Guide

POWER SYSTEM CONTROLLER MODEL SC1006 UNIVERSAL NET

30

A field appears that already contains the logical value for that code (i.e. 220 for

AC Voltage) to make calibration easier.

4. Press the UP/DOWN arrow buttons until the field's value is the same as the real

value measured by the DMM and press ENT.

5. Press ESC to return to Monitoring Mode.

The logical value of the A14-17 field codes remains the same even after recalibration.

The recalibrated value cannot be viewed by accessing these codes. The only way to

find out if these parameters were recalibrated correctly is to observe the effect of the

recalibration on the system's measurements. Once recalibration is complete its effect

should be checked immediately to verify that it was done correctly.

To observe the effect of recalibration do the following:

• DC Voltage - Use the arrow buttons to select the VDC LED.

• AC Voltage - Go to Field Code F01 by pressing the ESC button for 5 seconds.

• Load Current - Use the arrow buttons to select the Aload LED.

• Rectifier Current - Use the arrow buttons to select the Arect LED.

At the beginning of the recalibration the batteries were disconnected from the power

system. The batteries should now be reconnected.

4.7 Real Time Clock (RTC) The real time clock is active during the entire controller operation time and will

continue to run for 14 days even if there is no voltage supply to the controller. The

main function of the real time clock is to provide the time for the timestamp that

forms part of each entry in the event log.

There are six field codes for setting the parameters of the RTC:

1. B13 – Second.

2. B14 – Minute.

3. B15 – Hour.

4. B16 – Day of the week.

5. B17 – Day of the month (date).

6. B18 – Month.

7. B19 – Year.

To set the RTC of the controller via its front penal:

1. Press and hold . You will hear a beep, and the screen displays “888”.

Quickly, while “888” is still displayed, and while still holding , press ENT.

This brings you into Edit mode.

2. In Edit mode, the screen flashes continuously. Every four or five flashes, it

displays the current field code. The first field code you will see is A01.

3. Use the arrow buttons to display the RTC field code to be changed and press ENT.

4. Use the arrow buttons to change the value and press ENT.

5. Repeat step 2 until the contents of all the RTC fields have been changed.

6. Press ESC to return to Monitoring Mode.

4.8 Resetting the Controller

Resetting the controller causes the controller to initialize itself. This causes an

interruption in the power supply to the load devices and should therefore be avoided

whenever possible.

To reset the controller: Press the Reset button.

Note: resetting the controller alone and not the PS1006 units has no effect on

the calibration of the PS1006 units, nor on any of their parameter settings or

features.

During the few seconds that the reset is taking place, the system is not under

the control of the controller.

When the controller is switched on LEDs light up and the alarm buzzer sounds. This

process continues for a few seconds after which the controller is stabilized and the 7-

Segment Display shows the power system's DC voltage value.

It is possible to perform a remote reset from an application to restart the controller.

The affects are the same as if the Reset button on the panel was pressed.

Note: Avoid resetting the controller if possible. The Reset button is recessed to

prevent inadvertently resetting the controller and must be accessed with a thin pin.

4.9 Indications and Measurements 1. Press ESC button for 5 seconds.

The display shows field code F01 (Input AC Voltage).

2. Use the arrow buttons to change the field codes and to display each field’s value.

(Refer to pages 35 and 36 of Table 7.)
