The new system will have a reasonable set of defaults and associated alarms where possible. Optional configu-
rable values, such as name, description, system number, can be used to describe and organize your system.
The
Module Assignment Rule
setting controls how newly discovered LP modules are treated. The two options
are
Manual
and
Automatic
. The
Manual
setting, groups all new LP modules into
Unassigned Modules
. Then
you can add them to the system manually. Selecting
Automatic
adds new, compatible LP modules to the system
automatically. This is usually the preferred setting.
You can configure the alarms associated with the LP system. You can enable or disable the alarms, change the
priority, map relays to the alarms, and where applicable, modify the thresholds.
To create a Line Power System:
1. Go to
Controller > Inventory
.
2. Click
Create Line Power System
. Name the system if required.
3. From the
Select System Type
drop down, select the value that corresponds to your LPS module type. If
there are modules already connected to the controller, this will be preselected with the correct option.
4. Follow the rest of the wizard instructions.
6�9�5 Configure the Line Power Modules
There are two settings that are applied to all LPS modules:
Input Voltage Low Shutdown
and
Input Voltage
Low Restart
.
When the input voltage falls below the low shutdown threshold, the LP modules will power off all output channels.
Set this threshold to a value that prevents over-discharge of the battery.
When the input voltage rises above the restart threshold, the units turn back on. The restart threshold must be
at least two volts above the shutdown threshold or the LP Module Configuration Error alarm will activate (LPS36
only).
These settings are stored on the LP module itself which means that even if disconnected from the controller the
LP modules will still perform in this way.
To configure the LP modules:
1. Go to
Power Systems > Line Power System > Configure System
.
2. From the
Configuration
table, set the
Input Voltage Low Shutdown
threshold to the desired value.
3. In the same table, set the
Input Voltage Low Restart
threshold to the desired value.
