The touchscreen display presents the Multi-Stack Operator Interface dashboard which is the default
view; it is the central, unified interface that allows access to Multi-Stack Controller features. From this
screen a local technician can monitor the running state of the system, connect and disconnect the
battery from the system to perform maintenance.
While the touchscreen display provides access to a sub-set of the Multi-Stack Operator Interface
features, the full Multi-Stack Operator Interface feature-set with many additional functions may be
accessed remotely, via a web-browser.
3.2.8. External Ethernet
The External Ethernet interface is a standard Cat5e-rated RJ45 jack, supporting Gigabit speeds. It is
used as the primary means of connecting the Battery Control Panel to an external system, such as:
▪
Energy control systems, such as power conversion systems and energy controllers
▪
A laptop, to configure operating parameters and observe status
▪
A local area network (LAN) connection, for wired internet access
▪
An Ethernet switch, to access any number of the above devices
3.2.9. Local Ethernet
The Local Ethernet interfaces are standard Cat5e-rated RJ45 jacks. This bank of Ethernet ports are
used to connect the battery stacks—that is, the Stack Switchgear units—to the Battery Control Panel.
The number of ports available depends on the Battery Control Panel purchased.
3.2.10. Cellular Network Modem
The primary means of internet access is a wired connection to the "External Ethernet" interface
(
). If this becomes unavailable for any reason, the internal cellular modem provides
redundant connectivity. This facilitates remote access to the system for product support and off-site
monitoring.
A Battery Control Panel purchase includes 1 year of cellular data-access for installations in the USA or
Canada. Most 3G and 4G networks in these regions are supported by the modem; refer to
for further details.
An external antenna is provided to strengthen the signal between the internal modem and the local
cell tower.
The cellular modem is compatible with network carriers in the USA and Canada only.
