LCU+ Series Controller

User Manual

Chapter 1

Introduction

1.3.3 Communication Functions


The controller can communicate with the host computer in three modes: RS232, Modem, and Ethernet (WEB and
SNMP). It can communicate with the rectifiers in CAN-bus mode.

1.3.4 Alarm Functions


When the DC power system is in alarm status, the controller generates an alarm automatically and reports the alarm
to higher level controller according to actual requirements. The controller records the history alarm and a user can
query history alarm through the controller.
The alarm contents include communication failure, SPD fault, DC over/under voltage, load disconnection, battery
disconnection, BLVD, battery/ambient temperature abnormal, and rectifier alarm. The controller has four different
alarm categories.
1. CA, Critical Alarm
2. MA, Major Alarm
3. OA, Observation Alarm
4. None
User can set the alarm category for each alarm. User can also block all outgoing alarms from reporting to remote
computer and affecting any relay. This function can be programmed to reset automatically after 24 hours. When
outgoing alarms are blocked, an Outgoing Alarms Blocked alarm is generated.

1.3.5 Battery Management Functions:


Battery test
The purpose of a battery test is to check the condition of the battery. This test discharges the battery and monitors
battery voltage and current.
During a battery test, the controller reduces rectifier output to a predefined value and the battery supplies the load
and begins to discharge. The controller monitors the battery and saves the result in a battery test log.
The controller has two separate battery tests: full load current test and stable current test.
Below are the requirements of the full load current test and stable current test.
The test can be programmed to start under the following conditions.
1. Manual start
2. Cyclic start after a predefined time schedule
Starting a full load battery test or stable current is determined by the discharge current parameter of the stable current
test, as illustrated in Figure 1-2.

Figure 1-2 The Principle of Battery Test

Battery boost charge


When the batteries have been discharged, the controller can raise system voltage to recharge the batteries quicker,
as illustrated in Figure 1-3. The boost charge function can also be used to equalize the difference between the
different battery blocks/cells.

LCU+ Series Controller

User Manual

Chapter 1

Introduction

Figure 1-3 The Principle of Battery Boost Charge

The boost charge function can be programmed to start under the following conditions.
1. Automatic start after Commercial AC Fault (programmed to start after low battery capacity or high battery charging
current is detected) or Battery Test
2. Manual start
3. Cyclic start after a predefined time schedule
Temperature compensated battery charge
In order to extend battery life, the controller can automatically adjust system voltage as battery ambient temperature
changes. Battery temperature compensated charging is a function that lowers system voltage when battery
temperature increases and raises system voltage when battery temperature decreases.
System voltage follows the characteristics as shown in Figure 1-4.

Figure 1-4 The Principle of Temperature Compensation

Battery current limitation


The controller can limit the current to the batteries by adjusting the current limit of the rectifiers. If battery current
exceeds the alarm setting of Battery Over Current, a Battery Over Current alarm is issued.
Battery prediction
The controller can calculate the remaining capacity and the remaining time of the battery while charging or
discharging.

1.3.6 Low Voltage Disconnect


The controller can disconnect the load or battery in case of under voltage or after a predefined time from when a
Commercial AC Fault occurs, in order to prevent the batteries from deep discharge. Deep discharge can result in
permanently damaged batteries.
The load or battery can be disconnected through the two internal LVD drive outputs. The features of the LVD function
are:
The controller can manage a maximum of 2 LVDs, which are internal LVD drive outputs. The controller
disconnects these LVDs during an under voltage condition. The disconnection level for each LVD can be set
LCU+ Series Controller

User Manual

Chapter 1

Introduction

individually. There is one reconnection level for all LVDs. These LVDs can be used for load disconnection
and/or battery disconnection.
LVD Disconnection Setting Precautions
(1) The disconnection level for load contactor should be set higher than the battery contactor so that the load
contactor can always be disconnected before the battery contactor.
(2) Maximum 1 LVD is used for battery disconnection to protect from the large current difference between
batteries (using the internal LVD2 of the controller is suggested). When Commercial AC returns, the batteries
can be close to complete discharge and the voltage difference can generate a large current. Therefore, the
current of rectifiers should be limited before the battery reconnection.
The controller can individually disable LVD1 and LVD2, preventing the contactor from opening during an LVD
condition.
The controller can reconnect the LVDs when the Commercial AC Fault alarm is inactive and system voltage is
higher than the reconnection level.
An LVD alarm is issued when the controller automatically or a User through the controller manually activates an
LVD. An LVD Detection Fault alarm is also issued when the controller detects the auxiliary input status is not
identical with the LVD operation.

-Cap: This is the remaining battery capacity, as regards to the nominal capacity of the battery, at which a Battery Test
will be interrupted. For example, a value of 0.700C10 means that when the charging current reaches 70% of the
batterys nominal capacity, the battery test is interrupted.
Cyc Test: Displays whether the time (on specific dates) battery test function is enabled (Y) or not (N). During a Timed
Battery Test, the output voltage of the rectifiers is reduced so that the batteries power the load. If the batteries fail, the
rectifiers power the load.
Short Test: A short test is a short duration battery discharge test used to verify that parallel batteries are discharging
equally. If the discharge current difference between the two batteries exceeds a preset level (default is 10 A), a Short
Test Fault alarm is generated.
-Enable: Displays whether the short (at specific intervals) battery test function is enabled (Y) or not (N).
