3.3.2.5 Power Stack Adapter
Figure 3-5 Example: Power Stack Adapter
The power stack adapter (PSA) acts as an interface between the power unit and the open-loop/
closed-loop controller. The Power Stack Adapter is also where the power unit is electrically
isolated from the open-loop/closed-loop controller. The DRIVE-CLiQ serial communication
interface ensures the exchange of data between the Power Stack Adapter and Control Unit
(CU).
In the Power Stack Adapter, the switching information predefined by the Control Unit is
translated into firing pulses (long pulses). The firing pulses are converted to optical signals and
sent to the thyristor electronics via fiber-optic cables. This initiates firing readiness in the
thyristor electronics and activates a monitoring and interlocking logic circuit. The thyristor
electronics then determine the operating status of the thyristor and relays it to the Power Stack
Adapter via the checkback fiber-optic cable. The control commands and checkback signals
correlate with each other. Any disruption to this relationship, for example an open circuit in an
FO conductor or a failed thyristor, is relayed to the open-loop/closed-loop control system as an
error message.
