CAN Bus Termination

To ensure a correct bus communication and avoid data reflection, you must always
terminate the CAN bus with two 120 resistors, one at each end of the line (60 bus
impedance).
Smartpack2-based DC power systems are shipped from factory with the CAN bus already
terminated with 120 resistors. The CAN bus termination is implemented with a special
RJ45 plug with built-in 120 end-of-line resistor.

Overview Firmware Files (SD Card - Binary Format)

You can store binary files in the Smartpack2 Master controller’s SD card (data storage
device) and use them for firmware upgrading of controllers and control units, as well as for
exporting and importing configuration files.
NOTICE:
All firmware upgrade and configuration files stored in the SC card
must have specific file names.

The SD card uses the 8.3 file name format. Before using the files stored SD card, you must
rename them, so that they conform to the specific file names described below.
For example, if you receive the file “SmartPack2_Basic_405007.009_V1.1.mhx” to
upgrade your Smartpack2 Basic controller firmware to version 1.1, you must first rename
the file to exactly “SP2BAS.MHX”, then copy the file to the SD card and finally insert the
SD card in the Smartpack2 Master controller to start the firmware upgrade process.

# CAN Node File Name File Type CAN Node Type

Smartpack2 Master SP2MAST.BIN Firmware upgrade Controller
Smartpack2 Basic SP2BAS.MHX Firmware upgrade Controller
Smartpack SP.MHX Firmware upgrade Controller
Smartnode SMARTNOD.MHX Firmware upgrade Control Unit
Battery Monitor BATTMON.HEX Firmware upgrade Control Unit

AC Mains Monitor MAINSMON.HEX Firmware upgrade Control Unit
I/O Monitor IO_UNIT.HEX Firmware upgrade Control Units:
I/O Monitor, Monitor2 & Monitor3
Any node UNIT_aa.HEX Configuration File (Save/Load) All types
The “aa” refers to the CAN bus address or ID number.
E.g. “UNIT_82.HEX” could be the configuration file for I/O Monitor with CAN bus address 82.

When upgrading the firmware of controllers and control units — if several units of the
same type are connected to the CAN bus — the Smartpack2 Master controller will request
you to specify the CAN bus ID number of the unit to upgrade.

Alarm Monitors
Alarm monitors are software modules used by the system controller to measure system
internal and external input signals or logical states.
When an alarm monitor is enabled, it compares the measured parameter with pre-
programmed values or limits, and raises an alarm in the event of the measured parameter
reaching one of the limits.
When this event occurs, the alarm monitor stores the event in the Event Log, initiates an
internal action and activates an output group.
Internal pre-programmed actions may be battery current limiting, boost inhibiting or
similar. The generated alarm activates a pre-programmed group of relay outputs (an
alarm output group, AOG).

The alarm monitors’ most commonly used configuration parameters are:

(Refer to the “Alarm Monitor dialog boxes” topic in PowerSuite Help)
 Type of input
The measured Input Signal can be
analogue (e.g. a voltage),
logical (e.g. an open or close contact) and
numeric (e.g. number of rectifiers, % remaining capacity, etc.)
 Alarm Monitor activation
You have to Enable the alarm monitor so that it functions
 Type of alarm reset
You can select whether the alarm generated by monitor can be reset manually,
or automatically (when the event that caused the alarm is no longer true)
 Hysteresis and Time delay
When the input signal has reached a certain limit or criteria for a certain period
of time, the alarm monitor raises an alarm. This period of time is called Time

delay.
You can also enter a hysteresis value to prevent the alarm monitor from
unwanted rapid “switching”, when the input signal is around the limit or
criteria.

For example: A MajorHigh Limit is set to 57.00VDC, with a Hysteresis of

0.10VDC and a Time delay of 5 seconds.
An input signal of 57.08VDC lasting 3 seconds will not cause the alarm
monitor to raise an alarm.
The alarm will only be generated when the input signal is over 57.00VDC for a
longer period of time than 5 seconds (the Time delay).
The alarm will only be switched off when the input signal is lower than
56.90VDC (the hysteresis).
 Monitored Limits and Events
Analogue and numeric alarm monitors compare the measured input with from
one to four user-defined values or limits; two above normal value (Major High
and Minor High) and two below normal value (Minor Low and Major Low).
The type and number of internal actions (events) are usually defined from
factory.
Logical alarm monitors only compare the measured input signal with a logical
state (normally open or close). The user can define the alarm group that the
monitor will activate when the input signal is not in the normal state.
 Alarm output groups
For each value or limit, you can select which alarm output group (AOG) the
alarm monitor will activate in the event the measured input reaches the specific
limit
 Measured Average Value
The alarm monitor stores all input signal measurements and performs average
calculations every minute. Then, the monitor continuously displays the input
signal average value, and the period of time the input signal has been
measured. You can restart the monitor’s average calculations.
 Measured Peak Value
The alarm monitor stores all input signal measurements. Then, the monitor
continuously displays the input signal peak value, since the measurements
started. You can restart the monitor’s peak value measurements.

In addition, you can configure the alarm monitors with a description of the alarm monitor
and other configuration parameters.

Types of Alarm Monitors

The power system’s controller uses following types of alarm monitors, determined by the
monitor’s type of input signal:
 Logical Alarm Monitors (L1)
(monitor logical states such as Open/Close or Yes/No)
 Numeric Alarm Monitors (N1, N2%)
(monitor numeric values such as the number of rectifiers, errors, the %
battery capacity, etc)
 Analogue Alarm Monitors (A2, A4)
(monitor analogue values such as voltage, current, etc)
 Special Alarm Monitors (LVD)
(monitor the battery voltage and controls the LVD contactors)

Analogue and numerical alarm monitors compare the measured input with from one to four
user-defined values or limits; two above normal value (Major High and Minor High) and
two below normal value (Minor Low and Major Low).
Logical alarm monitors only compare the measured input signal with a logical state
(normally open or close). The user can define the type of event the monitor activates when
the input signal is not in the normal state.
Using PowerSuite, you can change the default alarm monitor’s name (Description). This is
useful for alarm monitors of the type “ProgInput X.Y”, but you should be careful changing
the name of other system alarm monitors.

3 About Power System Configuring

(a) Manual Reset

The DC power system can be configured with automatic or manual alarm reset.
When Manual Alarm Reset is enabled -- and the alarm condition no longer
exists -- the operator must reset the alarm manually, via the power systems
user interface (web GUI or controller’s front keys).
When the Manual Alarm Reset is disabled, then the Automatic Alarm Reset is
enabled (default). In this case, when an alarm condition no longer exists, the
main controller will automatically reset the alarm, by deactivating the alarm
lamps and relays to indicate that normal operation is established.

(b) Hysteresis and Time Delay

Read also topic “Alarm Monitors” on page 21
(c) Mains Independent
Check this option if you want that the LVD alarm monitor will reconnect the
LVD contactor when the rectifier system output voltage reaches the Reconnect
Voltage limit, regardless whether Mains is ON or OFF. For example, this is
possible using an additional primary supply.
Uncheck this option (Mains dependent) if you want that the LVD alarm
monitor will NOT reconnect the LVD contactor until Mains is ON again.
(d) Temperature Dependent
Used with LVD contactors that disconnect the battery bank (LVBD). Check
this option if you want that the LVD alarm monitor will reconnect the LVBD
contactor when the battery temperature is lower than the temperature limit
configured in the “BatteryTemp” alarm monitor.
(e) Disconnect Voltage
Enter a numeric value for the battery voltage drop-down limit. When -- after a
Mains failure -- the battery voltage gradually drops down to this limit; then the
alarm monitor raises the alarm and trips the LVD contactor.
(f) Reconnect Voltage
Enter a numeric value for the battery voltage reconnection limit. When the
Mains supply is ON again, the rectifier system output voltage increases to this
limit; then the alarm monitor will reconnect the LVD contactor.
(g) Delay Time after Disconnect
Enter the Time delay or number of seconds the LVD contactor has to be tripped
or disconnected, before the alarm monitor is allowed to reconnect the LVD
contactor

Alarm Output Groups

An Alarm Output Group (AOG) is a user defined software assignment that consists of
grouping together all the outputs that always are activated at the same time.
The outputs -- alarm relay outputs and or latching contactors (LVLD and LVBD) – are
distributed among the power system’s controllers and control units.

26 User's Guide Smartpack2 Master Controller 350020.013, Issue 1.1e, 2011 Sep
 3 About Power System Configuring

In order to activate the alarm relay outputs and latching contactors (LVLD and LVBD) in
the DC power supply system, you have to assign them to output groups (AOG).
Output relay assignment and output relay mapping are similar terms, synonyms.

Read also the “Alarms Overview Outputs tab” topic in PowerSuite Help.
The DC power supply system uses at least 20 different alarm output groups (AOG); 18
for assignment of alarm output relays, and 2 or more for assignment of LVD latching
contactors.
Usually, the first seven alarm output groups have alarm relay outputs already assigned to
them from factory (Factory Default Settings).
Typically, alarm output groups 8 through 18 are listed as “Alarm Group 8”, “Alarm Group
9”… to “Alarm Group 18”, but they have no alarm relay outputs assigned.
Alarm output groups “LVBD OG” and “LVLD1 OG” have usually LVD battery and load
latching contactors assigned from factory.
NOTICE:
Usually, most controllers and I/O Monitors are physically
equipped with relay outputs.
The outputs of Smartnode control units are telephone numbers,
instead of relay outputs.
The assignment procedure is the same, but you group the phone
numbers and assign them to Alarm Output Group.

Output Test Commands

This logical subgroup lets you issue or activate specific commands to test the activation
of the alarm output relay contacts. For example, following commands might be available
in Smartpack2 Master Controller’s submenu:
Commands > Output Test

# Description Action Unit/Label Note

Output Relay # 1  No Tests alarm relay number 1
Output Relay # 2  No
Output Relay # 3  No
Output Relay # 4
Output Relay # 5
Output Relay # 6

The Output Test functionality enables to test and verify the circuits connecting external
equipment to the power system’s alarm relay outputs.
The Output Test command will toggle the alarm relay contacts -- regardless of the position
they are at the moment -- for a certain period of time (entered in the “Output Test Timeout
(sec)” in PowerSuite).
Issuing commands is allowed using a Pin-Code.
NOTICE:
The default Service Access Level password or Pin-Code is
<0003>. We strongly recommend changing the passwords as
soon as the power system is installed.

Alarm Outputs Isolation (Output Blocked)

When the user activates the “OutpBlocked” command, system alarms will NOT trigger any
alarm output group (similar to relay isolation), except for the “OutpBlocked, AOG” group,
which is always Alarm Output Group 18.
If an external warning is necessary, you can assign output relays to the “OutpBlocked,
AOG” group, e.g. to activate a lamp or alarm bell when the alarm output relays are
blocked.
The “OutpBlocked” command will reset all alarm output groups to normal status, and
possible new alarms will NOT trigger any alarm output groups (output relays activation is
blocked), except for AOG 18. Also, this command will always activate Alarm Output
Group 18 to facilitate external warning of this function being active.
