•
Cooling: Each converter module contains a fan for forced
convection cooling.
a.
Fan Fault Protection: The converter module shuts
down and its alarm indicator (red) flashes if the fan
fails. Fan failure is detected and reported to
controller. The fan is not field replaceable.
b.
Fan Control: Fan speed is continuously variable.
When input voltage is within normal range, the built-
in processor adjusts fan speed according to the
converter module’s output power. For example, a
higher output power increases the fan speed.
•
Communication Failure: The protection indicator
(yellow) will flash should communication between the
converter module and associated system Controller fail.
The failure information will be reported to the associated
system Controller and the Controller will process the
failure accordingly. During a communication failure, the
converter module output voltage will automatically
adjust to 24.00Vdc. The converter module will revert to
normal operation once normal communication is
restored.
•
Monitoring Function: The converter module has a built-
in advanced DSP (Digital Signal Processor) that monitors
and controls the operation of the converter module. The
DSP also communicates with the associated system
Controller in real time through the CAN bus.
lists
the different commands and information exchanged
between the converter module and the Controller.
•
External Alarm: Provided via the associated Controller.
Refer to the separate Power System documentation for a
description of available external alarms.
