2000 ECS Battery Plant H569-408
Issue 2 July 1996
Product Description 2 - 9
Controller
The ECS controller performs the centralized monitoring, control
and reporting functions for the ECS battery plant. The basic ECS
controller can monitor and control up to six rectifiers. It also
provides a single interface point for power alarm and status
reporting.
Two optional expansion circuit packs are available to upgrade
the ECS controller: a microcomputer board equipped with a
powerful 16-bit microprocessor, and a datalogger board. The
microcomputer board adds sophisticated firmware features such
as remote communications, alarm history, and statistics. This
board is available as Group 5 or 7 on H569-408. Group 7 is the
same as Group 5, with the addition of a voice response feature.
The datalogger board may be used in conjunction with the
microcomputer option to provide general purpose ac and dc,
voltage and current monitoring and control. This board is
available as Group 8 or 9 on H569-408. Group 9 is the same as
Group 8, with the addition of a remote termination panel
allowing external connection to the board from outside the
controller. (See the ECS controller manual for further
information.)
DC Distribution
The ECS dc distribution panel has a maximum of 42 circuit
breaker positions. The circuit breakers are a plug-in style,
available in 10, 20, 30, 45 and 60 ampere ratings (see Figure 2-
4). The 10, 20 and 30 ampere circuit breakers occupy one
position and the 45 and 60 ampere circuit breakers require two
positions on the panel. The distribution panel contains the plant
charge and discharge bus bars, plant shunt, LVD/R contactor
and associated circuitry (see Figure 2-3).
