General
ACU is an advanced control unit used in DC power supply systems
NetSure 201, 501, 701 and 801. It communicates with the other units of the
power supply system like rectifiers, LC and SM modules (SM IO, SM BAT and
SM AC) and manages alarm handling, data processing, voltage control, etc.
The ACU can monitor the power system locally and from a remote management system.
1.1
Alarms
The control- and the rectifier-units are equipped with LEDs that provide relevant information regarding system- and unit-status, and guide the service
technician to the right unit in case of trouble.
The alarm events are classified into different alarm categories. Different alarm
categories have different visual/audible alarms and alarm callback activities.

Eight configurable digital inputs are provided on the connector board placed
above or beside the ACU. The connections to the connector board are described in the INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS for the respective system.
Eight potential free relay outputs are provided on the connector board. There
are both closing and opening contacts on each output.
Note:
When either the ACU or the connection board is disconnected from the
back plane board the output terminals have no connection to the relays.
Three of the relays are default configured and mapped to alarms of the following alarm severity:
Relay 1
Opened: critical alarm (Critical) indicating that the power systems

continued operation may be at risk and that the supply of the priority
loads is, or might soon be affected. Immediate action is required.
Closed: normal operation.
Relay 2
Opened: normal operation.

Closed: alarm (Major) indicating a failure that requires action when
convenient from the point of view of workload.
Relay 3
Opened: normal operation

Closed: alarm (Observation), signalling that the power system does
not perform to its maximum but that the loads are not affected. No
action is required.

Remote communication to the ACU.
The ACU supports the EEM, RSOC and SOC/TPE protocols. These protocols
are used to communicate with a power management system.
For the communication, an RS232 port is provided at the connector board for
direct connection or via a PSTN modem. This port has two DB9 contacts, one
at the front of and one inside the unit. See Figure 1. Default setting of the port:
38400 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity and no data flow control.
As an alternative, the Ethernet port can be used for direct or LAN connection.
1.2.4
SNMP communication
SNMP communication can be established via LAN.
Description of SNMP
SNMP is a technology used for network management. The technology is
based on implementing an information base called MIB (Managed Information
Base). This MIB contains parameters that are interesting from a management
perspective. All LAN connected equipment that support SNMP shall also support a default MIB called MIB-II.
The SNMP Agent responds to requests received via the SNMP protocol and
also actively sends traps to a specified manager when certain MIB values
5/1553-BMP 903 050 Uen Rev F 2008-10-01
6(56)
change state. This is used to actively inform a manager when an alarm situation is recognised.
The PCU supports MIB-II and Emersons power MIB, rev B. Contact Emerson
Energy Systems for more information.

2.1.1
System voltage
The set voltage of the rectifiers is configurable from the ACU.
In case temperature compensated battery voltage control is activated, the
voltage will be adjusted in accordance with the battery temperature.
2.1.2
Temperature compensated battery voltage

To compensate for some of the negative effects on batteries caused by high
ambient temperatures, this function can be used. However, it requires connection of a temperature sensor.
The function adds a correction term related to the temperature of the batteries to
the nominal value of the system voltage. The degree of regulation can be set.
The maximum influence, delta U of the function, is 2 V from the nominal system voltage.
The temperature compensation is disabled if there is a rectifier communication
failure, DC over/undervoltage or a low voltage disconnection.

Battery boost charging

Boost charging voltage is used to reduce the charging time after a mains failure and to equalise the charge level of the batteries. The charging function
can be initiated cyclically, automatically or manually.
The battery manufacturers instructions for boost charging shall be observed.
Figure 5.
Voltage course on mains failure and automatic boost charging.
5/1553-BMP 903 050 Uen Rev F 2008-10-01

9(56)
Start of charging
When the battery charge current exceeds a preset value for 3 minutes or if the
calculated battery capacity has decreased to a preset value (after a mains
failure, for example), the charging function of the ACU is activated. A charging
signal is sent from the ACU to the rectifiers to increase the voltage up to the
battery charging level U2.
Battery current limitation
After a mains failure or when some battery cells are permanently damaged,
the current to the batteries can be quite extensive. To avoid overheating or further damages to the battery, the ACU will limit the battery current to a preset
level by limiting the charging voltage of the rectifiers. Should the battery current still exceed a higher preset value, an alarm will be issued.
Stop of charging
When the charging current drops below a preset value, a defined prolonged
charging time will start before the charging is stopped and the voltage of the
rectifiers returns to the float charging level (U1). For security, there is a boost
charging limit time that stops the charging after a preset time.

Battery test
The battery test has four modes, short test (requires two battery shunts), AC
fails test (at mains failure), planned time test and stable current test.
Battery tests can be started either manually or automatically at scheduled intervals for regular test of battery status.
For manual battery tests as well as for AC fail tests and cyclic battery tests, the
following parameters must be set: End voltage, Test time and Battery capacity
discharge limit.

Test Voltage Level
U test
Figure 6.
Battery test diagram.
The battery tests follow the procedure described below:
In time test mode, the output voltage of the rectifiers is reduced to the test
voltage so that only the batteries power the load. If the batteries fail, the
rectifiers will power the load.
In stable current test mode, the output voltage of the rectifiers is reduced
so that the batteries give the preset test current to the load.
This test will continue until one of the following four situations occurs:
The preset test time, see Figure 6, expires. The battery has passed
the test.
The battery voltage drops below the preset end voltage level (Uend)
(Figure 6). The battery has not passed the test and the test is interrupted. An alarm Bad battery is issued in the system.
The battery capacity drops below the preset Test end battery capacity.
The battery has not passed the test and the test is interrupted.
An alarm Bad battery is issued in the system.
After the test, the output voltage of the rectifiers will increase again so that
the rectifiers feed the plant and charge the batteries.
The ACU will record the battery test start/end time, battery test voltage
and battery remaining capacity in the battery test log. 10 groups of battery
test data can be recorded. The user can query the test log from the ACU
through the Web interface or via EEM.
If the AC Fail Test is enabled, the test log will also be issued at a mains
failure. The set values for test time, end voltage and end capacity will be
the same as for Planned test. Should any of these values be exceeded
during the mains failure the alarm Bad battery is issued in the system.

Backup control (LVD)

To prevent serious damage to the batteries during a long mains failure the
loads can be disconnected by voltage-, or time-control, if LVD contactors are
included. The software supports load disconnection in to two steps. Both LVD
contactors can be set individually to voltage or time disconnect. Load disconnection can be activated at AC mains failure only.
Load reconnection is made automatically on the return of AC mains.

2.1.7.2
Energy saving
Reduces the mains energy consumption during high tariff periods.
Can make the power consumption rate lower than a given limit.
Rectifier redundancy
The rectifier redundancy function maintains a configured redundancy level by
switching on/off rectifiers depending on the actual load on the system.
Which rectifiers that are switch on/off is cycled periodically.
The rectifier redundancy is calculated according to the following formula,
Redundancy = (((NoOfRectOn * RectCap) Load ) / RectCap) *100.
NoOfRectOn => Number of rectifiers turned on.
RectCap => Rectifier rated capacity.
Load => Load current.
When the Redundancy is below the Min Redundancy setting one rectifier will
be turned on. If Redundancy is very much below the Min Redundancy setting
all rectifiers will be turned on.
When the Redundancy is above the Max Redundancy setting one rectifier will
be turned off.
