1. When enough power is available, the controller activates the
Heavy
consumers > [Heavy consumer #] > Acknowledge
output for the
Pulse
width
. The
Feedback timeout > Delay
timer starts running.
2. Feedback:
•
For a fixed load heavy consumer, when the heavy consumer connects,
it must activate the
Heavy consumers > [Heavy consumer #] >
Feedback
. As long as this feedback is not activated, the PMS reserves
the heavy consumer's full nominal power at the busbar. When this
feedback is activated, the heavy consumer draws power as part of the
system load, and the PMS does not reserve any extra power.
•
For a variable load heavy consumer, the power reserved for the heavy
consumer changes according to the heavy consumer load feedback.
For example, when the load feedback is 80 % of the nominal load, the
power reserved at the busbar is 20 % of the nominal load.
•
If feedback is not received before the feedback timeout expires, the
PMS activates the
Heavy consumer feedback timeout
alarm.
INFO
If the heavy consumer request signal is a pulse, then the state of the
signal is not checked in this procedure.

1. When the heavy consumer is connected, the controller adjust the power
requirements for the system.
2. When the heavy consumer is no longer required, the operator (or an external signal)
must:
•
Pulse request signal
: Reduce the heavy consumer power consumption.
•
Continuous request signal
: Turn off the
Heavy consumers > [Heavy consumer
#] > Request
digital input.
3. The sequence ends when:
•
Variable load heavy consumer
: The
Request
is not activated and the feedback
falls below 1 %.
•
Fixed load heavy consumer
: The
Request
is not activated and there is no
longer any feedback from the heavy consumer.
