1. Introduction
The Smartpack2 Basic controllers are powerful and cost-effective modules used as slave
controllers in Smartpack2-based power systems.
About this Guide
This booklet describes the Smartpack2 Basic controllers building blocks, external
connections and technical specifications.
For detailed functionality description, browse and search through the Functionality
Description Help file (or 350020.073) or WebPower Online Help file. The user guide for
the Smartpack2 Master controller (Doc 350020.013) might also be helpful.
System Diagram Flatpack2 Power System w/SP2
The generic Smartpack2 (SP2) distributed control system used in Flatpack2 PS systems
monitors and controls the whole system, and consists of the Smartpack2 Master
controller, the Smartpack2 Basic controller and the I/O Monitor2 CAN node.
The Smartpack2 Master serves as the local user interface between you and the system. The
Smartpack2 Basic monitors and controls the power systems internal wiring and supplies
the CAN bus with power. The I/O Monitor2 CAN node provides the system with input
monitoring and output controlling signals. The WebPower application enables system
configuration via a standard web browser.

2. The Smartpack2 Basic Controller
The Smartpack2 Basic controllers are powerful modules used as slave controllers in the
distributed control system of Smartpack2-based power supply systems.
They are developed for monitoring and controlling of the power systems internal
functionality and to supply distributed power for connected CAN nodes. They can also
operate in stand-alone mode, maintaining normal operation of the system, thus providing
redundancy and improving system reliability.
Key Features
A wide range of features are implemented in the Smartpack2 Basic controller:
LEDs for local visual alarming (Major, Minor, Power ON)
Supplies distributed power for CAN bus nodes
2 sense inputs for internal monitoring, 1 voltage sense and 1 current sense
2 configurable inputs for load and battery fuse monitoring
3 configurable multipurpose inputs (temperature, digital inputs or analog signals)
3 LVD control outputs, configurable for latching and non-latching contactors
Up to 8 Smartpack2 Basic controllers may be connected the CAN bus
CAN bus addressing via DIP switches
Configuration via the master controllers front keys or WebPower on a standard
web browser
Firmware upgrade via the CAN bus (page 13)

Installation of Smartpack2 Basic Controller
The Smartpack2 Basic controller is always factory installed in all Flatpack2 PS systems
that implement the Smartpack2 Distributed Control System.
If you need to replace the installed Smartpack2 Basic controller with a new one, always
follow the precautions relevant for installation, commissioning and general handling of the
Smartpack and Smartpack2-based DC power systems.
!
Qualified
personnel
CAUTION: For safety reasons, the commissioning and configuration of the equipment is
only to be performed by Eltek Valeres personnel or by authorized and qualified persons;
otherwise the warranty may be invalidated.
Please, read the user documentation carefully before installing and using the equipment,
as installation and operation is to be performed as described in it.
You need standard installation tools and equipment used by an authorized electrician.
NOTE: All tools must be insulated.
Fastening / Unfastening the Controller
You fasten the Smartpack2 Basic controller using
two dedicated fixing tabs (A)(B) inside the DC
power cabinet or subassembly, and a slot (C) and
screw hole (D) on the controller, refer to Figure 4,
page 7.
To unfasten the Smartpack2 Basic controller from
the power system, switch OFF the power system, and

Connection Drawing
Use this drawing as a connection reference for all cabling. You find the exact location of
connection terminals, plugs and DIP switches, by referring to chapter Location of
Terminals, Ports, LEDs, page 6.
The LVD control outputs may be configured for both latching and non-latching contactors
using the WebPower via a standard web browser. LVD Output 1 is usually configured as
LVBD, and output 2 and 3 as LVLD1 and LVLD2.

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).
Smartpack and 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.

When connecting more CAN nodes to the bus, you have to remove the CAN bus
termination plug from one of the CAN bus ends, and plug it in one of the CAN ports on the
last connected CAN node.

2 The Smartpack2 Basic Controller
Configuration
By the default, Smartpack2-based power systems are shipped from factory with one or
several Smartpack2 Basic controllers correctly installed and configured inside the power
system.
CAN Bus Addressing
The power systems master controller dynamically software-assigns ID numbers to
rectifiers. The master controller registers the rectifiers ID numbers or CAN bus address
(01, 02) together with their Serial Numbers (software assignment).
Other control units make use of DIP switches for configuring their unique CAN bus ID
number (hardware assignment).
The Smartpack2 Basic controllers ID numbers (1, 28) are assigned by DIP switches on
the controllers top.
A maximum of 8 Smartpack2 Basic controllers may be connected to the CAN bus.

Firmware Upgrade Controller
Upgrade of the Smartpack2 Basic controllers firmware is performed via the power
systems CAN bus, while the system is live. Upgrading the firmware does not delete or
change any of the configuration and calibration values stored in the Smartpack2 Basic
controller.
You can upgrade the Smartpack2 Basic controllers firmware using one of the following
two methods. Refer to Figure 7, page 13.
A. From the Smartpack2 Master controller.
Insert in the Smartpack2 Master controller an SD card containing the
Smartpack2 Basic controllers firmware source file <SP2BAS_x.xx.MHX>.
Use then the front keys to download the firmware.
Refer to the Functionality Description Help file (or guide 350020.073) for a
detailed description.
B. From a Personal Computer.
You must connect a PC via an USB-to-CAN Converter (art. 208565) to one
of the power systems CAN bus ends, and move the end-of-line resistor to one of
the converters CAN ports.
Run then the FWLoader program on the PC to download the firmware
<SP2BAS_x.xx.MHX> to the Smartpack2 Basic controller.
You find a detailed description by browsing and searching through the FWLoader
Online Help file.
