Chapter 1 Overview
This chapter introduces the appearance and main functions of the SMU monitoring module.

1.1 Appearance

The appearance of the monitoring module is shown in Figure 1-1

Figure 1-1 Appearance of the Monitoring Module

1.2 Main functions

1.2.1 communication with the host computer

The monitoring module provides RS485/Ethernet interfaces and 6 groups of alarm dry contact
to communicate with the host computer. At the same time, it supports the direct access mode of web
pages.

Dry contact output mode

The monitoring module provides six groups of alarm dry contact output, and each group is
divided into normally open/normally closed contacts. Before the alarm event occurs, each dry
contact is configured in advance, and different dry contacts are respectively corresponding to a
certain alarm type or a group of alarm type groups formed by logical relationship. In this way, once
this alarm event or a set of alarm events meeting the logical relationship occurs, the dry contact will
act and send an alarm to the outside world.
2
Zhongtian Broadband Technology Co., Ltd.
If the user has other intelligent monitoring, the alarm dry contact can be connected to the
interface of its intelligent monitoring equipment, and the dry contact network can be conveniently
established to complete the level isolation transmission of fault signals.

1.2.2 Telemetry, remote signaling, remote control

In RS485 or Ethernet communication mode, the backstage host can realize telemetry, remote
signaling, remote control functions for the power supply system through the monitoring module.

Telemetry function: the backstage host can obtain the real-time analog quantity of the system
through the monitoring module.

Remote signaling function: the background host can obtain the real-time switching value of the
system through the monitoring module.

Remote control function: the backstage host can realize five functions: module on/off, system
EC/FC conversion, system control mode switching, alarm silencing, and battery test start/stop.

1.2.3 Set the alarm type of dry contacts

1. By setting the "associated relay" parameter of the alarm type, a certain alarm type can be
associated with a dry contact. Once this alarm event occurs, the corresponding dry contact will
act and send an alarm to the outside world. When leaving the factory, all six pairs of alarm output
dry contacts have default alarm types.

2. The monitoring module has the function of programmable logic controller (PLC), and the alarm
types corresponding to the six dry contacts of the monitoring module can be flexibly set by the
computer. The PLC setting of each dry contact includes three input alarms and two relationship
markers, that is, the serial numbers of the three alarm types and their logical relationships need to
be set, and the logical relationships include AND, OR and NOT.

The PLC function can be set to be off. If the PLC function and the associated relay setting
mode are effective at the same time, when the alarm type occurs under either setting mode, the
corresponding dry contacts will act and send an alarm to the outside world.

1) Start-up: including uniform charging, floating charging and testing. When this item is selected,
pressing the up and down keys will cycle through the three options. When there is an AC
power failure alarm or the bus voltage is too low, the system does not execute the command
of equalizing charge and battery test.
2) Battery: including battery power-on and power-off. The current system does not support
battery power-on and power-off operation for the time being.
3) Load: including power-on and power-off of the load. The current system does not support load
power-on and power-off operation for the time being.
4) Module voltage regulation: the control range is 42V ～ 58V. If the set voltage exceeds the
module voltage control range, the system will not execute the module voltage regulation
command.
5) Module current limiting: the control range is 0.1 ~ 1.21.
module voltage regulation operation method is as follows:
1) First, ensure that the battery management mode is manual (the module voltage can be
adjusted only in manual mode).
2) Press the Enter key in the control output screen to bring up the cursor, and then press the
up and down keys to adjust the cursor to the column of module voltage.
3) Press the Enter key to enter the module voltage setting (the current cursor hovers over
the decimal place of the module voltage, and the single-digit and ten-digit voltages can
be set by pressing the Enter key twice continuously and quickly), and then press the
20
Zhongtian Broadband Technology Co., Ltd.
Enter key to save the current setting after the setting is completed.
4. Change the "management mode" from "manual" to "automatic" in the battery basic parameter
setting screen shown in Figure 3-17. After the change is completed, press the return key to return
to the system information screen step by step.

3.7 Setting parameters

Power system parameters are divided into seven categories, including alarm parameters, AC
parameters, DC parameters, battery parameters, system parameters, communication parameters and
quick setting. In actual use, users need to set the battery capacity according to the actual situation of
the battery configured in the system, and it is recommended to keep the factory settings for other
parameters. The following respectively introduces the setting methods of various parameters.

3.7.1 Setting alarm parameters

In the parameter setting screen, press the up and down keys to select the "Alarm Parameter"
option, and press the Enter key to enter the alarm parameter setting screen, as shown in the
following figure.

Figure 3-14 Alarm parameter setting screen

Alarm parameters are divided into three sub-menus, the contents of which are introduced
below.

Setting the alarm level

In the alarm parameter setting screen, press the up and down keys to select the "alarm level"
option, and press the Enter key to enter the alarm level setting screen, as shown in the following
figure.
21
 Zhongtian Broadband Technology Co., Ltd.

Figure 3-15 Alarm level setting screen

After entering the alarm level setting screen, press the key to select the system type that needs
to set the alarm level, which includes battery system, battery management, rectifier module, etc.
After entering the corresponding system, press the key until the cursor is selected to Level,
then press the key to select the alarm item that needs to be set at present, and press the Enter key to
select the alarm level, which is divided into three items, namely None (no alarm), Waring (general
alarm) and Critical (serious alarm). After setting, the system will automatically save the setting
parameters.
The monitoring module divides the alarm types into three levels: serious alarm, general alarm
and no alarm.
Serious alarm: After this type of alarm occurs, it will seriously affect the performance of the
power system. No matter when it occurs, users are required to take immediate measures to deal with
it.
General alarm: after this type of alarm occurs, the power supply system can temporarily
maintain normal DC output. If it occurs during the duty time, measures should be taken
immediately to deal with it. If it does not occur during the duty time, it should be dealt with at the
beginning of the duty time. The power supply system only lights the alarm indicator.
No alarm: After this kind of alarm occurs, no sound and light indication will be generated.
The alarms in the monitoring module and their default settings are shown in the table below.

The monitoring module provides battery testing function, and can record 10 groups of battery
testing data, which can only be accessed through background maintenance software. After starting
the battery test, firstly, the output voltage of the rectifier module is adjusted to the set value of "test
termination voltage", and the battery begins to discharge. When the battery voltage reaches the set
value of "test termination voltage" or the discharge time reaches the parameter of "test termination
time" or the battery capacity reaches the set value of "test termination capacity", the monitoring
module terminates the battery test, the output voltage of the rectifier module returns to the normal
floating charge voltage, the power supply system charges the battery, and the system switches to
automatic battery management.
