Using the UPS Controller
The Capstone UPS Controller is required for any application with more than one Hybrid
UPS microturbine. The Capstone UPS Controller accessory acts as a master for up to ten
Hybrid UPS microturbines, and coordinates MultiPac operation to provide high availability
of power to the critical load.
The UPS Controller can:
•
Display overall system status as well as details for individual microturbines.
•
Start and Stop the system and change the desired operating modes.
•
Communicate with a Building Management System to share monitored
microturbine data, accept power demand and other control commands, and signal
potential shutdown conditions.
•
Coordinate Hybrid UPS microturbine state transitions, including consideration of
external battery state of charge information.
•
Provide a common communications connection for a PC with CRMS software.
Figure 4 shows the typical connections available from the UPS Controller. Refer to the
UPS Controller User Manual (400028) for a complete description of this accessory and
how to operate it.
