Overview : functionality only included in

SL-SPT variants
Preconfigured to charge 8S1P LiFePO4 battery packs.

The Suntrack Self-powered variant tracker controller is factory configured and programmed
to work with 8S1P LiFePO4 battery packs. Programming of these battery configuration and
chemistry has been particularly optimized although other LIFePO4 configurations (8S2P, 8S3P
) can be customized.
Temperature dependence operation.

The Suntrack Self-powered variant tracker controller offers temperature dependent current
drain and charging current limitation. This benefits the application from being able to be
installed in harsh environmental conditions while still operating in a controlled manner. User
SW configurable temperature presets are available to make the device JEITA compliant. This
way, the user can archive a long lasting self-powered application, as batteries will never be
overstressed due to inconvenient temperatures.

CC/CV charging algorithm.

The Suntrack Self-powered variant tracker controller is manufactured to deliver customized
charging and discharging rates depending on the application, battery and customer needs.
Certain parameters, such as cut-off voltages, C-rates, recharge thresholds and maximum
charging time can be adapted to meet customer needs. A typical Constant Current/Constant
Voltage curve is shown below.

Alarm generation.
o Currents exceeding 15.5A measured by motor current sensor are flagged to the
micro-controller.
o Temperatures exceeding 65C in the battery pack are treated as an over-
temperature fault which lead to charger inhibition (nor will the battery charge
or discharge as electronics enter in low power consumption mode and motor
actuation is inhibited).
o Over-discharge of battery is signaled to the micro-controller, as indicated by
user-setup minimum threshold register.
SmartStow wind protection tracking.

14 different positions can be configured, each dependent on a particular wind speed
(detected by anemometer located on site) to optimize distance from current to stow position.
SoC estimation.
Coulomb counting and voltage sensing allow State of Charge (SoC) estimation. Initial OCV
measurement becomes critical when determining initial SoC. This is done by permitting
sporadic whole charge processes (CC/CV is activated and a full charge is archived). Impedance
tracking techniques lead to an estimation of the SoH (State of Health) value, ideal for battery
aging control.
Optional Power Output.

The Suntrack Single-line tracker controller comes with a general purpose power output,
which can be configured to control a users particular external device, such as a heating
resistor for cold climates.
External board interoperability.

Although the device can work independently with no need of a CPU or Master unit, several
communication buses are already installed to permit multi-board interoperability.
E2S -Enhanced EEPROM Saving- system.

Due to possible intermittence of power supplies, the Suntrack Single-line includes the E2S -
Enhanced EEPROM Saving- system, so that latest configuration parameters are stored in
memory before becoming corrupted.
Photovoltaic Panel (single/string) or External power supply option.

Versatility and expandability of the design, enables various power supply options, from single
PV or string (incorporates extra circuitry for high voltage version) to external power supply for
tough climates in which battery usage is not conceived.
Power-efficient performance modes.

When facing situations such as low irradiance days or low SoC, the systems native software
switches into low power modes (up to 4 different modes) to prevent extreme depths of
discharge of the battery.

TEMP_A1, TEMP_A2
The Suntrack Self-powered variant tracker controller can be employed to operate in a Sun
tracking system, powered by a Photovoltaic Solar panel, while charging batteries when solar
energy is available and draining them to power external boards and system components. The
dedicated solar panel is dimensioned in power according to system needs (battery
architecture- 8S1P, 8S2P, etc). During normal radiation conditions -depending on motor
power requirements- the panel should be capable of supplying enough energy to the system,
so batteries will not be drained. In situations with enough solar energy and a higher power
requirement from system components, both, the panel and the battery are used in
conjunction to supply the necessary amount of power. Temperature sensors located near the
battery, ensure safe charge/discharge cycles to prolong battery life.

The Suntrack String-Pluggable Parasitic Power (SP3) Converter can be employed to power
the Suntrack Selfpowered SL-SPT-PV-3 system, enabling charging of batteries when solar
energy is available (when site inverter is operating). In situations with enough solar energy
and a higher power requirement from system components, both, the panel and the battery
are used in conjunction to supply the necessary amount of power. The main function of the
string parasitic unit is to provide energy to batteries, due to its limited power, which will be
upgradable in future versions.

11. Extra features
Heating bed
As an alternative to prevent minus 0 temperature derating, a heating bed can be attached to

the AC/DC converter to generate the temperature gradient required for proper operation of
the unit. The dedicated algorithm for heating purposes, sets the necessary stimulus to heat
the converter through conduction and the enclosure through natural convection. The thermal
model of the Suntrack enclosure and the temperature feedback, allow predictive control of
the temperature, to gradually achieve converter heating.
