3.10.2 Parallel control bus connection
In cases of parallel operation, the communication between the units takes place through the
control
bus cables
.
Each parallel unit is equipped with an additional board “
P13
–
RPA Board
“
where the connectors
J52
(A)
and
J62
(B)
are located.
A short control cable provided with a ferrite ring core links the parallel board “
P13 – RPA Board
”
with the
parallel bus socket on which must be connected the
control bus cables
JA
and
JB
on PCB
“
P34 – Bus
Interface
”
.
All the parallel units are connected to the same control bus.
This connection allows:
•
The microprocessors of each unit to communicate with each other.
•
The oscillators of each unit to be locked together.
•
The regulation loops to compare the output current of each unit in order to equally share the
Load
current.
For increased reliability, this connection is made with redundant cables.
In this way, communication is maintained between units in case one of the control cables should fail or
be accidentally damaged or disconnected.
The standard length of the control bus cable between two parallel unit is
40 ft
/
12 m
.
Maximal overall length of bus connection, between the first and the last unit, should not be longer than
276 ft
/
84 m
.
Verify that control wiring is run in individual separate steel conduit.
NOTE !
Under no circumstance should the control bus cable connecting
JA
(1/2/3/4/5)
and
JB (1/2/3/4/5)
be connected or disconnected after the system has been powered On.

Fig. 3.10.2-1 RPA System - Control bus connection
The shield of the control bus cable, connected on
JA
and
JB
must be connected to ground with the
appropriate cable clamps fitted on the parallel bus socket.
It is important to place the units in sequence of their assigned number.
A unit number from
1
to
6
is defined by the setting of parameters and displayed on the panel (
P1
to
P6
).
This number is also marked inside and outside the packaging.
