When the optional sensors are installed, the following web page will be shown. From the initial web page the user can
select any available string and view details.
The string buttons on this page are color-coded to indicate the string status. Normal status is indicated by gray, red
indicates a major alarm, yellow indicates a minor alarm, green indicates an admittance measurement is in process on
the string and magenta indicates a warning condition and blue indicates battery balancing is turned on.
When the RBMS Plus starts, the previous string configuration is loaded from the database. This configuration will be
updated as new strings or jars are discovered. During the RBMS Plus initialization a message “RBMS Plus Initializing”
will appear. While this message is present. The RBMS Plus is checking for new sensors and collecting data (including
admittance measurements) for all sensors.
Alarm checking and SNMP communications are disabled until initialization
is complete
and the message disappears, to prevent alarming or reporting erroneous readings.
NOTE:
Alarm checking and SNMP communications are disabled during initilization.
System up time is the time the RBMS Plus has been running since the last reset.
The
String Voltage
reading displays the total string voltage measured by the battery harness or sensors for one or two
strings. Pressing the
S
button allows editing the string name.
The
String Status – Type
displays the string status. For the RBMS Plus, the type will always be LV (low voltage).
The
Auxiliary Output
shows the present setting for the general purpose digital output on the RBMS Plus. Clicking the
appropriate radio button changes the output state.
The
Voltage from Battery Cable
displays the string voltage. Alarms may be provisioned for this voltage by pressing the
associated
A
button. When the 8BATT is used the individual jar voltages will appear in this box.
The web page also displays values for
Temperature
,
Line Voltage
(w/optional WT-5 transformer),
AC Current
(w/optional PBT-PA-CS-1 current probe),
Moisture Sensor
(w/optional PBT-PA-MS-1 sensor), and the status of the two
Auxiliary
Input
general purpose inputs. Pressing the
