Basic Controller Configuration
Once the system is up and running there are only a few configurations that are necessary depending on
your application and the controller utilized for the application. The Pulsar Edge families of controllers
are a multiple micro
- processor based unit with volatile and non - volatile memory. These units have
been factory preconfigured with standard or customer specific configuration default settings for all
features and thresholds. Many systems shipped from the factory all ready have the controller installed,
configured, and tested for the system it resides. Installation and much of the configuration of the
system controller may not be required. The date and time is generally set at factory test to Central
Standard Time zone.
Controllers with customer specific configuration defaults are also available. These units will be
assigned a unique apparatus code for ordering and management. A configuration template is available
to facilitate this process. ABB predefined industry standard factory defaults are utilized for the Pulsar
Edge standard controllers. Although the configuration default files are permanently stored until they
are replaced, all configurable parameters and thresholds can also be reconfigured or modified as
needed in the field. These items are then stored in non
- volatile memory.
However, a user can always return to factory programmed configuration by initiating the “ Loading
Defaults ” operation for a specific battery type.
The minimum items to configure for basic system operation are:
• Float Set - Point (And associated alarms described in next section)
• Battery Type and number of strings
• Date
• Time
The Pulsar Edge is designed to support multiple battery technologies. These Generic technologies
include:
• Valve - Regulated Lead Acid (Valve - Reg)
• Flooded Lead Acid (Flooded)
• Lithium Metal Polymer (Li - LMP)
