1 System Functionality
1.1 AEON 4000 system operation
The SMPS 4000 is designed for parallel operation in the AEON 4000 cabinet system. Parallel operation and communication is achieved by using CAN bus, a widely used communication standard for use in rough environments. Digital CAN bus communication between rectifiers makes it possible to achieve very accurate current sharing between rectifiers, better than 2.5 % at full load. Current sharing has the advantage that the MTBF will be equally distributed throughout the system. In addition, the phase currents will be balanced. CAN communication between individual rectifiers and the control unit has the advantage that all information regarding rectifier status can be found in one place - AEON Gold. The control unit monitors the system and controls the output voltage and current, at all times. By connecting the WinPower communication software to the AEON Gold, it is possible to get a remote interface to the power supply system, where all relevant information is stored. System communication is indicated by an LED, marked Com, on the front of the rectifier. The rectifier front display and buttons will go into a read-only mode where you are only allowed to scroll through the menus on the front of the rectifier, not do any configurations. The rectifier cannot be switched on or off locally, the voltage cannot be changed and calibration cannot be performed. Menu scrolling is also disabled in software version 1.05 and earlier versions. This will also happen if the rectifiers communicate with each other, and not AEON Gold. During system operation the centre of information and control is the AEON Gold Control Unit. In system operation the rectifier menus can only be scrolled if the rectifier software version installed is 1.10 or a later versions
Note: For 60 V systems, the new Aeon Gold HW, Art. 241241.100 is required.
1.2 AEON Gold Software Functional Description

This section (1.2) describes the functionality of the AEON Gold software, which defines the basis for system operation, both from the AEON Gold Front panel, WinPower Gold and, if this option is installed, WebPower.
Art. No. 355204.013, v12, 2006 Mar, Pub 2006-06-13
1.2.1Battery Testing and Boost Charging

The purpose of the battery test is to discharge the batteries down to a certain voltage and evaluate if the discharge duration is acceptable. The AEON Gold battery test is an actual battery discharge test where the batteries take over the full load current. Average current and test duration are measured to evaluate the state of the battery. The AEON Gold can calculate estimated battery capacity based on discharge tests and preconfigured discharge data entered via Winpower Gold. Battery boost or equalised charge is used to reduce the required recharging time by increasing the charge voltage from about 2.23 Volts Per Cell (VPC) to about 2.33 VPC.
Please note that battery boost is normally not recommended for VRLA (Vent. Regulated lead acid) batteries.
Battery Test or Boost is stopped if any alarm occurs.
1.2.1.1 Manual, Interval and Automatic Battery Test

The battery test is carried out by partly discharging, then measuring, the battery. To compute a Quality Factor, the measurements are compared with the battery table. If the Quality Factor falls outside limits, a warning or an alarm is given. The Low Battery Voltage Alarm is automatically suppressed when a battery test is running. The result of a battery test is stored in non-volatile memory. There are three ways of initiating a battery test: Manual: User initiated. If the system is busy or not able to run a battery test, the user is notified. Interval or Scheduled: Almost the same as a manual battery test, but initiated at a defined date, and time and repeated after a number of days. Automatic: If a mains fail lasts long enough to reach the specified test end voltage, a test will automatically be logged. It is possible to deactivate this function if necessary. There are also three situations that are important to remember before starting a battery test: It is not possible to start a battery test with an end voltage set outside the range of the battery table. It is not possible to set test end voltage lower than Low float voltage. It is not allowed to start a battery test unless the battery is fully charged. The fully charged charge current value is now adjustable. Default value is 1,7% of total battery capacity. The limit can be adjusted between 1,7% and 10%.
1.2.1.2 Manual and Interval Boost

If you need to charge the system batteries faster than normal, use battery boost function. The output voltage will then increase until the boost value is reached. There are 3 ways of initiating a boost charge: Manual: User initiated. If the system is busy or not able to run a battery boost, the user will be notified. Interval: Almost the same as a manual battery boost, but initiated at a defined date and time, and repeated after a number of days.
Art. No. 355204.013, v12, 2006 Mar, 2006-06-13
Automatic: Starts automatically after mains has resumed, if the discharge has been over a threshold level.
A battery boost will end when boost duration expires, or if an alarm occurs. Manual or Interval Boost is rejected, if Boost Guard time is higher than zero, and there is still remaining Guard time.
1.2.1.3 Battery test result

To get a correct result from a battery test, the input data has to be within the specified battery table. This means that all parameters related to the battery test result, need to be checked before you enable a test. The maximum allowed time for a test can not be less than then the shortest discharge time from the battery table. I.e. if your battery has specified discharge data from 30 to 1200 minutes, and you have specified a maximum test time of 25 minutes, you will not get a result from the battery test. LVBD-voltage is also an important factor to consider, before you start a battery test. This is the limit you specify, to tell Winpower Gold when your battery is empty. Winpower Gold uses this value to calculate the capacity of the battery down to this level. Divide this voltage on the amount of cells in your battery string, and check that your battery table cover this cell voltage. The end voltage where you want the test to terminate also needs to be a voltage inside the limits of the specified battery table, as Winpower Gold looks up in this table to calculate the discharge time with a certain load current. Battery condition is measured as the relation between the actual times used to discharge and the theoretical time for a discharge down to a certain cell voltage. The condition is 100% for a battery that conforms to the battery table. The battery capacity result you get from a battery test is the capacity you had in your battery prior to starting the test, down to the LVBD limit. This will reflect your average battery current during the test time, adjusted with a factor calculated out of the battery table. This Quality factor is a relation between the theoretical capacity down to the test end voltage, and the theoretical capacity down to the LVBD level.
1.2.1.4Battery monitor
The Real Capacity of a battery A battery has a nominal capacity. However, at increasing discharge current, the capacity decreases. The capacity is also affected by aging. By taking load current and the Battery Quality Factor (from the most recent battery test) into consideration, the Real Capacity can be computed from the battery table with the formula; Real Capasity = Quality Factor * Theoretical capacity (read from the battery table). The Real Capacity is computed regularly to follow the load current. The remaining battery capacity and backup time are also mandatory parameters. The battery monitor combines two methods for estimating these values. Method 1 The Account method
Art. No. 355204.013, v12, 2006 Mar, Pub 2006-06-13
1 System Functionality This method is used for voltages outside the battery table limits. It uses measured charge/discharge values to calculate the Remaining capacity. Remaining capacity = Real Capacity Measured discharged capacity Remaining time = Remaining capacity / Average current The accuracy of this method is high at the beginning and more and more speculative as the battery is discharged.
Method 2 The Table method The table method is applicable only when the measured cell voltage is within the range of the battery table voltages. The total backup time of a good battery is regularly computed. The estimated time to discharge a fully charged battery to the battery disconnect voltage, is computed by looking up the remaining time in the battery table. To do this the measured cell voltage, the disconnection voltage and the average current is used Remaining time = Time to discharge to disconnect voltage, minus time to discharge to the measured voltage. The Battery Quality Factor of the last battery test adjusts the difference. Remaining capacity = Remaining time * Average current.
This method provides increasing accuracy as the voltage approaches the disconnect voltage. Combining the two methods The result from the two methods are combined the following way: If measured cell voltage is equal or higher than the Highest end voltage of the battery table, The Account method is used. Else if measured cell voltage is equal or lower than the Disconnect voltage, The Table method is used. Else, a weighed mean is used. The motivation is to avoid discontinuity and to give the most accurate method most significance. Note: The account method may introduce much inaccuracy. The longer the method is working, the more inaccurate is the account. If boosting is used for recharging, the logic is not able to know when the battery is fully charged because the charge current is high without regard to the battery charge state. In this case, the account may show a value considerably higher than the true capacity. The estimates are more speculative as time goes by. Therefore, the estimates during discharging are more trust worthy than the estimates during recharging.
1.2.1.5 Backup Capacity and Time Estimation

The following parameters will be regularly updated to provide support for Real-Time indication of backup capacity and time. Time until Low Voltage Battery Disconnect Remaining battery capacity and backup time will be estimated. A battery will be empty when the voltage has dropped to the Low Voltage Battery Disconnect voltage, indicated by a time-left indicator. The time-until-disconnection shall be the shortest of the following parameters:
Art. No. 355204.013, v12, 2006 Mar, 2006-06-13

Estimated LVBD Backup time using the LVBD disconnection voltage. The LVBD contactor is equipped with a timer. When it times out, the battery will be disconnected.
Time until Low Voltage Load Disconnect There can be 4 LVLD contactors installed. There will be time-left indicators associating with each contactor. The time-until-disconnection shall be the shortest of the following three parameters: Estimated LVLD Backup time using the respective LVLD disconnection voltage. The different LVLD handles are equipped with a timer. When it times out, the loads will be disconnected.
1.2.1.6 Progress indication

Battery test and boost may take time. In order to keep the user informed about state and progress, the following data is available: What kind of job is going on, i.e. Test or Boost. State, i.e. Discharging, Boosting, Floating, Guard time Progress. There will be a progress bar indicating the progress in percent
1.2.1.7 Rescheduling of Test / Boost

If Interval Battery Test is enabled and a Manual or Automatic battery Test is completed, the next Interval test will be rescheduled to trig after TestInterval number of days. If Interval Battery Boost is enabled and a Manual or Automatic battery Boost is completed, the next Interval boost will be rescheduled to trig after BoostInterval number of days.
1.2.2 Output Control

There are currently three regulation modes: Temperature Compensation: Temperature compensation allows you to regulate the charge voltage with respect to the temperature and used batteries. The advantage is that the batteries will be working under optimum operating conditions, thus optimising performance and lifetime. Output Voltage Control: Using output voltage regulation means that the output voltage will be constant, irrespective of load or temperature condition. Default Rectifier Voltage: The output voltage is set by AEON Gold but regulated by the rectifiers.
1.2.3 Battery Current Limitation

This function limits the systems maximum battery charge current. Battery manufacturers often recommend limiting the maximum current to 10 30 % of C10 capacity, in order to prolong battery lifetime. C10 is the total 10 hour battery discharge capacity of all connected battery banks. Due to a regulation hysteresis of 40A, when using battery banks smaller than 4000Ah, it is not advisable to set Battery Current Limitation to a value lower than 400A. There is no restrictions on battery current limits, when used with battery banks larger than 4000Ah. The regulation hysteresis is then more accurate (4A).
1.2.4 Symmetry Measurement Configuration

To simplify symmetry supervision, the setup has been limited to two options: Midpoint 1-4 strings
10
Art. No. 355204.013, v12, 2006 Mar, Pub 2006-06-13
1 System Functionality 12Volt blocks, 1string There are 2 active alarm limits. One is a warning level and the other is a severe alarm level. The alarm voltages will be set to default values depending on the selected system voltage, and whether the system is in charge, float or discharge mode. The number of strings, when using centre point monitoring, is determined by the system settings. The maximum permissible number of strings will vary depending on type of symmetry supervision selected. The system configures the following ports for the different set-ups for symmetry supervision:

Table 1 Mapping of battery symmetry inputs
The symmetry monitoring has two possible operating modes. Common for both of them is when there is a transition from charging or float charging into discharge, there is a time frame when the monitoring is disabled. This is due to the battery properties. No symmetry measurement is possible during the first few minutes of a discharge. The two possible monitoring modes are: Continuous mode Discharge mode
1.2.4.1Continuous mode
The symmetry monitor is active at all times. It will, however, adjust the alarm limits according to whether the charge mode is charging, float, or discharge. Variable alarm limits are necessary in order to avoid false alarms.
1.2.4.2Discharge mode
The monitor is disabled until a battery discharge occurs. Only then will the monitor start. When returning to charge/float mode the monitor will stop.
1.2.5Calibration
The following inputs are calibrated: Analogue inputs DC Voltage inputs Temperature sensor inputs All AEON Golds analogue inputs can be calibrated as a 1-point or 2-point calibration. All inputs will be calibrated before leaving the factory and therefore it is advisable to only perform a 1-point calibration during normal conditions.
1.2.6Displaying input values

Both Winpower Gold and the AEON Gold front panel have the ability to show a dynamic monitor screen for displaying input parameters. These parameters include all analogue and digital input values. The analogy values are shown as calibrated physical values, while the digital input values are shown as Boolean values. AEON Gold The monitor window on the AEON Gold is situated in the USER menu and is thus not password protected. The refresh rate is 2 seconds.

Art. No. 355204.013, v12, 2006 Mar, Pub 2006-06-13
For CHINESE and other 12*12 pixel font each of these screens will be divided into two separate pictures.
WinPower Gold The Winpower Gold software shows a single independent window containing all the abovementioned input values. The Winpower Gold menu shall be active even if this window is shown.
1.2.7Alarm system and control of relay outputs

The Alarm system inside AEON Gold is built around three tables, a detector table that contains all configuration information for monitoring system variables, one detection result table and finally an alarm output table. The result table contains the information to show how the result of a triggered detector shall be handled. The output destination can be any digital output or an alarm report sent through a serial port. In addition to this, there is another table involved, which holds mapping information for the I/O. The latter contains information about which internal variable is mapped to which input port, or internal data source. One new alarm is available for user configuration, the DC/DC converter alarm. This is a count n*units type of alarm, which means that it is a sum of all detected alarms in the DC/DC converters.
1.2.7.1Event Detectors
In AEON Gold there are 11 fixed system detectors and their name, parameter and compare settings cannot be altered. All triggers have the ability to set the beeper to alert personnel when something needs attention. The beeper will go off when the alarm condition goes off. In addition alarm logging can be turned off for any individual trigger. Beeper The beeper function is related to the alarm class and, when enabled, the built in beeper will stay on for a certain amount of time. There is a different sound pattern depending on the alarm class, i.e. ALARM, WARNING, INFO. The beeper sound sequence can be stopped by selecting the reset alarm function or by pressing clear. The total beeper sequence length is set to 2 minutes.

1.2.7.2Alarm system
The alarm system is divided into two parts, the triggers and the relay control. The triggers are used to continuously monitor a selected system variable. When the input value exceeds a preset limit the trigger output goes on. The trigger output can set off three possible actions: An entry in the alarm log can be generated, the beeper can be activated and a relay may be turned on.

Figure 1 Alarm system overview
For each trigger there are two timers involved. These are used to filter noisy or quickly changing input values, i.e. an IR sensor used for burglar alarms can be programmed to trigger an alarm only when it has been on for a certain amount of time. The first timer can be used to delay the activation of an alarm. The second timer is used to delay the deactivation of an alarm. Both timers are retriggerable. If the first timer is started for a detector, and the trigger condition goes off before the timer expires, the timer is stopped. The second timer works in a similar way, if the pre-trigger goes off and the timer is enabled the timer is started. If the pretrigger goes back on before the timer expires, the timer is stopped. In addition there is a hysteresis function that is configured using the Min- and MaxVal parameters. This is used to avoid repetitive alarms when monitoring noisy input parameters. The relationship between the timers and the hysteresis functions is depicted below.

1.2.7.3Define Triggers
The alarm systems output functions use the output flag of each active detector or detector class and route this to the physical output ports, for example the relays. Detector Class is used to make common alarms. Any combination of triggers can be set to class A, B or C. When a relay output is set to an alarm class it will respond to the output of any trigger with the corresponding class. The AND function is used to set trigger conditions so that the trigger will only go on if the ANDed trigger is also ON. Triggers can be ANDed to any level. Three alarm classes can be selected for each trigger: Alarm will cause red alarm diode to be lit both in Winpower Gold and on AEON Gold front panel. The front panel will display an alarm bell symbol Warning will cause the activation of red diode on front panel and yellow diode in Winpower Gold. The front panel will display a flag symbol. Info will not cause illumination of front panel alarm diode while Winpower Gold diode will remain green. The front panel will not display a symbol. Alarm Class is used to log how critical an alarm is. The alarm class will be reflected in the Alarm / Event Log.
1.2.7.4 Alarm Output Configuration

The alarm systems output function uses the output flag of each active detector or detector class and routes this to the physical output ports, i.e. the relays. The mapping of events to output functions is done as shown in the table below. Each output relay can be mapped to up to three sources. This makes an opportunity to use a logical OR function for relays. The NE/ND field means normally energized/normally de-energized. I.e. a battery disconnect contactor might need to disconnect the battery when the Controller unit looses its power supply. Normally de-energized means no alarm, no Energy to the relay coil. A few entries are filled in for illustration purposes. When a relay is used by other functions than the alarm system the relay shall be blocked, so that it is not available for the alarm system, see relays 11 and 12 in example below The log field is used to define if a change in relay status will generate an entry in the alarm log.

1.2.8 Low Voltage Disconnect

The equipment is offered with the following options: 1 LVBD (fixed) 1 LVLD (fixed) 3 LVLD (optional)
1.2.8.1 Low Voltage Battery Disconnect (LVBD)

This is battery deep discharge protection. The function monitors the battery voltage during discharge. The battery contactor opens when the battery voltage goes below a specified limit and the reconnect will take place when the battery voltage again reaches a predefined limit after mains has returned.
1.2.8.2 Low Voltage Load Disconnect (LVLD)

This is a similar function as the LVBD, but it controls up to 4 load contactors. This function monitors the battery voltage during discharge. Two parameters control the disconnect function, the disconnect Voltage or a disconnect timer which starts when a mains loss occurs. The Load contactor opens when the battery voltage sinks below a specified limit, or if the discharge timer expires depending on disconnect criteria selected. The disconnect criteria can be selected by Winpower Gold only. Reconnect will take place when the battery voltage again reaches predefined limit. When more than one load contactor is used they have separate voltage and timer limits. For each contactor the polarity, i.e. normally open/closed status, the relay number and enable disable flag can be set.
1.2.9Test Relays
You can use this facility to test operate the alarm relays and the low voltage battery/load disconnect contactors (LVBD and LVLDs), in order to test external equipment connected to the PRS system's outputs.
1.2.10 Configuration of shunt inputs

There are a total of five shunt inputs on Aeon Gold, where one is used as battery shunt input while the remaining four can be configured as load or battery shunts. If the battery shunt is selected the total battery current will be calculated from the sum of the individual currents. The load current is calculated as the system current minus the battery current and is independent of the load shunt measurements. Winpower Gold: The shunt configuration can be edited under the General configuration menu by selecting tick boxes WinPower Gold description Shunt input 1 Shunt input 2 Connection Table description Battery current Spare current Battery Shunt Load Shunt NA

A validation is made so that if you try to tick both battery shunt and load shunt for the same input the last choice will be valid while the first tick will be cancelled. The first input is fixed to battery shunt, and it is not possible to change the configuration of this shunt. The total battery current measurement is based on the sum of battery shunt measurements. This total battery current is shown as battery current both in Winpower Gold and on the front panel. The load current is still based on calculation derived from battery current and rectifier current. It is assumed that the load shunts will be installed in load branches and thus only measure parts of the overall load current. The only place where the load shunt currents are displayed is in the input monitor. Note! The shunt configuration does not affect the battery test setup. The battery test will always use the total battery current for all calculations. Note! The shunt configuration is available through Winpower Gold only.
1.2.11 System Control through digital inputs

The AEON Gold is capable of the following control functions through digital inputs. The function will be activated as long as there is a signal present on the digital input. 1) Setting a lower programmable output voltage to protect the batteries. 2) Genset active, which is sequential startup, depending on user configuration. 3) Stop/inhibit battery boost 4) Stop/inhibit battery test 5) Rectifier Current/Power Limitation Note! This function is available through Winpower Gold only.
1.2.12 Rectifier control

The rectifier control is achieved via the following options: CAN Individual control Address software Status information
1.2.13 Master Password

There are 2 sets of passwords in the AEON Gold system, which are stored and validated in the AEON Gold. There are 2 password levels: Service and Factory setup. In addition there is a unique master password based on the AEON Gold serial number. The Master Password will reset all passwords both in AEON Gold and Winpower Gold back to the factory-programmed. Contact your local Eltek supplier for generating this password if needed.

1.2.14 Voltage settings

A correct setting of the voltage levels is essential for a proper operation of the Aeon Gold control unit. All the voltages are user defined so that the system can be utilized to its optimum. However it is important to know the interaction between the voltages settings before doing any changes. This chapter presents a recommended sequence for the voltage settings. The ranges for all the settings and their default values are described in section 5.6

1.2.17 Efficiency management

1.2.17.1 General
Efficiency management serves two purposes: 1) Turn off unnecessary rectifiers in accordance to redundancy policy. 2) Cycle the remaining rectifiers to balance the runtime between the rectifiers. These are described in detail below.
1.2.17.2 Power saving

The power saving algorithm optimises the overall system efficiency by turning on or off rectifiers, so that the remaining rectifiers operates within a specified output power window. Typically this means avoiding low output load conditions. Turning off rectifiers The system starts up with all rectifiers on. After a programmable delay time, the first rectifier will be turned off, if the average load is below the power limit set by the selected policy. Then a new cycle of average calculation is started, and the next rectifier is turned off if the rules permit it. Turning on Rectifiers The average load is monitored continuously. If the system load increases above the high load limit, the number of operating rectifiers is increased by the number needed to get the average load within limits. Safety There are certain system events that may halt the efficiency manager. These events will immediately turn on all rectifiers and set the efficiency manager in idle mode. One or more rectifiers stops communicating One or more rectifiers reappears after lost communication. The number of rectifiers installed is changed. System Voltages is changed Battery Boost or Test is started Sequential startup will suppress efficiency management
1.2.17.3 Redundancy policy

N+1 Redundancy There are always sufficient margins in this mode so that one rectifier can be lost without affecting the system operation. This table shows the power limits used to switch in and out rectifiers in N+1 redundancy mode.

1.2.17.5 Runtime balancing

When efficiency management has turned off one or more rectifiers, the runtime balancing will start. As seen in the example below Rectifiers ID 1 and 2 is on, and all others are off. The Runtime balancing or Shuffle cycle begins with turning on one additional rectifier as in stage 2 below. After a 20sec delay to ensure power delivery from the new rectifier, the lowest ID is turned off as in stage 3. Then the Shuffle process goes into sleep mode for the duration set by the ShuffleTime in the menu. When the sleep duration is over the process will repeat itself with the next rectifier and so on. Shuffle Time This is the time spent waiting before replacing a rectifier in Shuffle mode when doing runtime balancing. Currently the range is 1 to 240 Hours

1.2.17.6 Operating modes

There are 2 operating modes, Normal operation and Test mode. The timing parameters used in normal operation are far too long for testing and demo purposes. The test mode still uses the parameters set in the menus, but uses minutes instead of hours, and seconds instead of minutes for the timing parameters given. Turnoff Delay Time This is the time used for average rectifier current calculation before turning off a rectifier. Note that there is always added approximately 40 seconds to this due to properties of the internal software design. Currently the range is 1 to 600 Minutes.
1.2.18 DC/DC converter control

The Aeon Gold Control Unit supervises the DC/DC converters (art. No 241114.500). It monitors the presence and statuses of the DC/DCs, and gives alarms when internal alarms and statuses change. This information is available on the front panels main screen on the Control Unit, as individual views in the user menu and on the Winpower Gold main screen. The maximum number of converters connected to the AEON Gold Control Unit is 32. The DC/DC converter control is achieved via the following options: CAN Individual control Address software Status information

1.3 AEON Gold Hardware Description

The AEON Gold hardware is described on detail in Installation and Commissioning for AEON 4000 (Art. No. 356940.033)
1.4 Rectifier Features

1.4.1System and Stand-alone operation
The SMPS 4000 rectifier is a highly advanced rectifier designed for both stand-alone use and system operation. Front display and press buttons make it possible to control all important parameters from the unit front. In addition, LED's provide information regarding alarm and communication status. Digital communication by CAN bus makes it possible to install SMPS 4000 in large rectifier systems, where the rectifiers are controlled by the AEON Gold control and monitoring unit.
1.4.2General features
SMPS 4000 offers features such as: Front display and keypad for stand-alone control and monitoring. All relevant information regarding rectifier status will, at all times, be accessible from the rectifier front Wide input voltage range, ranging from 100 VAC to 300 VAC. Power limitations will be activated below 185 VAC. Automatic shutdown at input voltages above 300 VAC. The power supply is selfprotected against 400 VAC, which can occur if neutral is lost or disconnected Protection against surges, caused by lightning or switching transients Power factor close to unity and low THD due to PFC on the input High efficiency, above 91 % in 48Vand 60V systems Temperature monitoring and automatic power limitation and shutdown at high internal temperatures For the 48V and 60V versions, constant power charging during battery recharge True hot plug-in by soft recharge of output capacitors
1.4.3Fan operation.
The fans are 24V brushless DC - fans supplied from the auxiliary power supply. To increase the lifetime of the fans the speed is regulated depending on the heat sink temperature and the power output. In addition to increased lifetime this gives low audible noise levels at light load. The relationship between the highest heat sink temperature, fan speed and power output is given below. The fans are regulated between off, half and full speed.

2 Operation from AEON Gold Battery standby voltage is the voltage the rectifies are set to during a battery test Battery protection voltage is the voltage the controller sets out if the battery protection mode is activated. (The battery protection mode can be activated through a digital input.)
Battery voltage indicates the output voltage from the rectifiers during normal operation. Boost voltage indicates the output voltage during fast battery recharge. Increased charge voltage will reduce the required recharge time. Battery standby voltage indicates the rectifier output voltage during battery testing. This voltage will be kept lower than the battery test end voltage and the rectifier will serve as backup for the batteries. Battery protection voltage is a feature where the purpose is to lower the charge voltage if, for example the battery temperature goes above a certain value. This is not the same feature as temperature compensated charging. The temperature is measured by an external device that sends a signal to a digital input. Contact closure between the inputs on the digital input will cause the voltage to go from normal charge voltage to the value set as battery protection voltage. This mode will be kept until the contact closure on the digital input is removed. Battery protection is disabled as default, but can be enabled in Winpower Gold. Rectifier trip voltage indicates the over voltage shutdown level of the rectifiers. The default setting is 74,38Vdc for 60V rectifiers, 59,5Vdc for 48V rectifiers and 29,75Vdc for 24V rectifiers. The setting can be changed from the service menu. Please note that only rectifiers having software version 1.20 or newer for 60V dc, 1.10 or newer for 48Vdc and 1.10 or newer for 24Vdc will be able to adjust the shutdown level upon a command from AEON Gold. The other rectifiers will ignore the message and keep to the default setting.

Battery Info displays the following menus: Battery info Battery test info Battery test log Battery boost info Symmetry Monitor Symmetry Monitor: This menu allows the user to enable or disable the symmetry function. Symmetry Monitor includes the following information: Mode o Continuous/Discharge Status o Disabled/Enabled System Voltage Blocks o 1-5 Voltage Delta Status o Warning/Alarm Symmetry monitoring enables you to detect if one or several cells go into short- or open circuit. By measuring the difference in voltage between 12V or 24V blocks it is possible to detect instantly single cell failure. The voltage distribution throughout the battery cells depend on the operation mode and therefore we offer symmetry monitoring where the alarm limits are depending on whether the battery is being charged, discharged or in float.
All settings should be selectable from Winpower Gold (see chapter 4.8.2.6), however activation and deactivation can be done from the AEON Gold keypad Mode: You can select the symmetry alarm functionality to be active continuously or only at discharge. Status: Status indicates if the symmetry alarm functionality is disabled or enabled. System Voltage: This is the actual voltage of the system, and the main reference for the symmetry functionality.

This Automatic Rectifier ID Assignment Function does not require any user intervention. The controller stores the serial number and ID number of every logically installed rectifier. The Manual rectifier installation command may still be used when new rectifiers are installed in a system, or when you want to assign a specific ID# to a rectifier. However, in most cases this will not be necessary, as the Automatic Rectifier ID Assignment Function will assign the lowest available ID number automatically. The Initial rectifier installation command enables you to perform a controlled and automatic ID assignment of rectifiers, as follows: 1. Select the Initial rectifier installation command

2 Operation from AEON Gold 2. Turn ON the AC breaker of the rectifier that you want to give ID#01 3. Wait for the rectifiers yellow LED to illuminate (the controller has ID assigned the rectifier) Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the rectifier you want to give ID#02, and continue repeating steps 2 and 3 until all rectifiers are ID assigned by the controller. The initial rectifier installation is only to be used when commissioning a new system, or during first time system start-up. Note that when entering this function the rectifier ID table in AEON gold is erased, and the process of reassigning all rectifiers ID's must be completed. You must always use the Rectifier deinstall command to erase from the controllers memory the ID and serial numbers of rectifiers that you physically remove from the system. When you want to replace a malfunctioning rectifier with a new one, you must first turn OFF the AC breaker of the failing rectifier, then erase its ID# from the controllers memory (using the Rectifier deinstall command), then swap the rectifiers and finally turn ON the AC breaker of the new rectifier. The controller automatically assigns the same ID# to the new rectifier. To display the ID number assigned to rectifier, select the Show SMPS ID command, then press a key on the rectifier, and the rectifiers ID number will appear on the display. To find the physical location of a rectifier with known ID#, select the Show SMPS position command, then type the rectifiers ID#, and finally press key. The yellow Communications LED on the rectifier will then start to flash. The Rectifier Current/Power Limit function works in three different ways or types: Percentage Limitation Power Limitation Current Limitation If Percentage Limitation is selected, the rectifiers total output power upper limit will be the selected percentage of the total rated power. If the Power or Current Limitation is selected, the rectifiers total output power upper limit will be a selected constant value, W or A. Due to system voltage variance, the Current Limitation type offers the lowest accuracy. Allow some tolerance when selecting current limitation. The Rectifier Current/Power Limit function has to be configured and enabled. You can configure it by selecting the limitation type and its respective value directly from AeonGold via the controllers front panel; refer to Service software menu, page 39 or from a PC running the WinPower Gold application, read page 97. The Rectifier Current/Power Limit function must also be enabled or triggered by external digital inputs, which can only be set from WinPower Gold, read page 81.

2 Operation from AEON Gold Battery protection voltage is a voltage level used to avoid high temperatures in the batteries. When a high temperature is detected an external device sends a signal to the AEON Gold through a digital input, which then causes the rectifier voltage to be reduced down to battery protection voltage. Rectifier trip voltage is the over voltage shutdown level for the rectifier outputs. With the latest rectifier SW versions it is possible to send a command to the rectifiers to change the shutdown level. Older rectifiers will ignore the command and keep to the default level.
Default values are shown in chapter 5.6.

Figure 23 Current calibration menu
The AEON Gold Control Unit incorporates 5 current inputs. One is dedicated for battery current while the remainder can monitor, for example, load currents. These 5 channels will be calibrated before leaving the factory. Under normal conditions it is only necessary to perform a one-point calibration. During charging, the battery current is defined as positive (+) while, during discharging, it is defined as negative (-). In order to obtain an acceptable accuracy of the current measurement, the current must be calibrated at one zero level point and one high level point. Since load supply must be maintained the zero calibration current should be positive, for example the current should be measured during float charging while the rectifiers supply both load and battery. The high calibration point should be measured during discharging, while the rectifiers are turned off. To obtain acceptable accuracy, the high calibration point current should be at least 30 % of the shunt current capacity.
During normal operation, Battery Current calibration should only be performed as a 1 -point calibration
During a calibration procedure it is easy to check if the calibration is correct, by use of Input Monitor see chapter 0.

3.2.2DC voltage calibration

Output voltage is indicated in the display and the power LED is lit. For voltage calibration, it is necessary to use a calibrated voltmeter to measure the voltage on the DC output. NOTE: Output Voltage Calibration must be performed with approximately 30 A load! Use the flow chart to navigate to High Calibration. Adjust the High Calibration Voltage until the measured value (on the voltmeter) corresponds to the value indicated on the display. Go to Low Calibration Voltage by confirming the High Calibration Voltage. Adjust the Low Calibration Voltage until the measured value corresponds to the value indicated on the display. Return to Output Voltage by confirming the Low Calibration Value.
3.2.3DC current calibration

When entering this mode, the display will show output current in A. In order to carry out current calibration, it is necessary to have a load of at least 50% of current capacity using a mV-meter and a suitable current shunt. We recommend the following values: 24V: 110A high & 0A low 48V: 70A high & 0A low 60V: 55A high & 0A low Use the flow chart to navigate to High Calibration Current. Adjust the High Calibration Current value until it corresponds to the actual current value (calculated from your mV-meter reading). Go to Low Calibration Current by confirming the High Calibration Current. Again, adjust the Low Calibration Current value until it corresponds to the actual current value. Confirm the new calibration values Verify successful calibration by varying load current and comparing actual and read current values

4 WinPower Gold charging, see chapter Boost under menu Battery Configuration. Battery standby voltage indicates the rectifier output voltage during battery testing. This voltage will be kept lower than the battery test end voltage and the rectifiers will serve as backup for the batteries. For more information about battery testing, see chapters Battery test under menu Battery Configuration. This value is the over voltage shutdown level for the rectifiers. If the DC output voltage passes this level the rectifier will be shut down. The value entered will be broadcasted to all rectifiers and stored internally in the rectifiers. This is the voltage that the controller sets if the high temp voltage function for the batteries is activated. This function protects the batteries from overheating, by decreasing the battery voltage.
Battery Standby Voltage
Rectifier OVP shutdown
Emergency Low Battery Voltage
The following parameters can be set in the Contactor Setup window: It is possible to configure up to five contactors, one for battery Contactor Name and four for loads. These names are not configurable. Voltage limit for disconnection of load or battery must be lower Disconnect than the reconnect voltage. Voltage (Volts) Reconnect Voltage Voltage limit for reconnection of load or battery must be higher than the disconnect voltage. (Volts) Disconnect Delay Default = 0 minutes Application: Disconnection of load (LVLD) or battery (LVBD) Time (Minutes) at a predetermined time after the mains voltage is switched off. When the mains are off, an internal timer (minute counter) starts to count downwards from the pre-set time value. When the timer reaches zero, the load (or the battery, depending on how the system is hardwired) will be disconnected. If the mains returns before the timer reaches zero, the LVLDs or LVBD will not be activated and the timer will be reset. If the battery voltage falls below the low voltage disconnect level before the counter = 0, then the LVLDs or LVBD will be activated. The Disconnect Delay Timer is deactivated when set to 0. Shows if LVLDs or LVBD contactors are activated or Enable deactivated. In the system configuration in Factory settings the contactors will be enable or disable, see chapter 4.8.4. If a relay is configured to operate as a contactor, this relay is then blocked for operation from the alarm system.
4.8.1.2Set Date and Time

4.8.1.3Site Info
This menu option enables you to adapt the control module to your specific installation, by registration of site-related information such as the customer's name, location, serial no., Control Unit serial no., rectifiers installed, battery type, serviced by, software version, installation and service dates, and any messages. Control Unit Serial no. and software version are entered automatically and cannot be changed from this menu option.
4.8.1.4Modem Callback
The modem functionality is based on two ways of communication: Dial- in to the site by the user from Winpower Gold Call- back from the AEON Gold to a terminal interface (Hyperterminal) which can receive alarm messages The usage of AT- Commands is not implemented in AEON Gold. The implications are that it is required that more of the modem configurations are done by setting up the modem directly, something which is normally done through a VT100 interface. The most important part to configure is the phone number that is going to receive the callback. Some modems will accept a range of phone numbers but most modems will only accept one. In addition it will be required to configure the modem so that it fits the PSTN (phone line) in which it is connected.

Art. No. 355204.013, v12, 2006 Mar, Pub 2006-06-13
4 WinPower Gold
Dialling into the site by using Winpower Gold is explained in 4.5.2. Here we will describe how to set up the control system to dial back to a terminal interface. Setting up the alarms: Defining the alarms that will trigger a callback is configured in General Configuration- Define Trigger. Under the Alarm Class it is possible to set the following alarm classes; Alarm, Warning, Info. If an alarm has got alarm class Alarm or Warning, the activation of the alarm will trigger a callback. If an alarm has got alarm class Info there will be no callback upon activation.
Defining the callback mode: As can be seen in the Modem Callback menu in Winpower Gold one can set up the system to dial up either on an interval basis or on event. It is also possible to have both options active simultaneously. Event callback will dial up whenever an alarm is activated. AEON Gold will send information about site ID, given in the Site ID message entry, time and date and alarm type. The information is comma- separated so that it can be stored in a text file and imported into Excel. If there is no answer, AEON Gold will wait 2-3 minutes before it makes a retry. This procedure will be repeated five times in case of no contact. The only exception to immediate dial- up is if the queue size limit is set to other than 0. Queue size limit is a function where one can define that alarms will not generate callback before they have queued up to a certain number. For example, if queue size limit is set to 4 you must have four entries in the alarm queue before dial- up. However, you do not need to have four alarms since alarm clear (EOA- End of Alarm) will also generate an entry in the queue. It means that two alarms activated and cleared will generate four entries in the alarm queue, thus generating a callback. Queue size limit cannot be larger than 31. Interval callback is used to make sure that the phone connection is OK and is typically set to dial up every 24 hours. If interval mode is selected and event mode is disabled an interval callback will also contain all alarm messages generated since the last interval call.
Art. No. 355204.013, v12, 2006 Mar, 2006-06-13
73
4 WinPower Gold If interval- and event callback are both activated the queue size limit function is deactivated, i.e. it is set to 0. Any alarm set to alarm class Alarm or Warning will then generate an event- based callback. Interval callback will normally contain only site ID and time stamp. There will be no alarm messages since the alarm queue is empty.
The Site ID Message will be in the header of all callbacks from the power system. Start time for automatic call defines time of day when the first call will be initiated. If the start time is set to 14:15 and the actual time of day is half past two, the first call will not occur before the day after. Once the first call has been completed the interval timer will start and decide the time for the next automatic call, furthermore, if any of the parameters in the modem callback menu are changed, the interval timer will be reset and the next automatic call will again be decided by the start time. Terminal emulator setup Terminal emulators like Hyperterminal, Procomm Plus, etc. can be used to receive callbacks from AEON 4000 systems with modems installed. Please note that the following setup should apply: Baud Rate: 9600 Parity: None Data Bits: 8 Stop Bits: 1

4.8.1.5Test Relays
This facility can be used to test the alarm relays and the low voltage battery/load disconnect contactors (LVBD and LVLDs), in order to test external equipment connected to the PRS system's outputs. Note that the batteries or rectifiers must be connected in order to operate the LVBD and LVLDs contactors.
WARNING!! Operation of the LVBD or LVLD relays will disconnect load or battery. 3 additional LVLD contactors may be in use. Each additional LVLD need an alarm relay as driver. Before testing relays, make sure that all necessary information regarding extra LVLDs is available.
When you have terminated the test and exited the Relay Test menu, the alarm module will automatically reset the relays to the normal operating position. To test-operate the alarm relays select Alarm Relay 1 to 10, L.V.B.Disc. and L.V.L.Disc.

During relay test Winpower Gold uses at least 5 sec. before the screen will be updated. AEON Gold needs this time to report the change back to Winpower Gold. In addition there is a security function that disables relays in test mode after 45 seconds. This will also happen if a communication fault occurs or on leaving the test relay screen by pressing OK or Cancel button.
4.8.1.6Define Triggers
The alarm systems output functions use the output flag of each active detector or detector class and routes this to the physical output ports, for example the relays. The trigger name is the actual text that will appear in the Event Log.
Trigger name
11 trigger names are predefined, while 14 additional trigger names can be defined manually, if necessary. See table below Tick here to enable the relevant trigger Tick here to enable the beeper Input values from inputs connected to the AEON Gold Control Unit or Can-bus signals from rectifiers Symbol for comparing Input value and a sepecified value. Specify the minimum value (unit is predefined) Specify the maximum value (unit is predefined) Specify Min./Max.

4.8.2Battery Configuration
4.8.2.1Battery Setup
The following parameters can be set in the Battery Setup:
Battery Type
The alarm module is delivered with default (pre-defined) battery definition tables and one user-defined table. If you want to use the user-defined table, enter the definition parameters in the Define New Battery menu before using the table. Number of battery The AEON Gold must be configured with the exact number of battery banks connected in parallel in the system. This banks information is essential for calculating the battery capacity. Number of battery A battery bank is a number of battery strings connected to the AEON 4000 system. A battery string is a string of serial strings per bank connected batteries. The number of strings connected to a battery

4 WinPower Gold bank can vary, same does the number of batteries in a string. The controller calculates the total number of strings by multiplying number of strings per bank with number of banks. This calculation is independent of the shunt configuration. Number of battery Number of battery cells. cells Battery cell capacity in Ah. Battery cell capacity Battery reference temperature, defined by the manufacturer in the Reference battery definition table temperature Voltage at reference temperature, e.g. 2.23 V/cell Temperature compensation Compensation equation (per cell) Slope of temperature Min. compensation Minimum compensation voltage per cell voltage Max. compensation voltage Battery test end voltage Battery cable resistance Maximum compensation voltage per cell
There are various battery test end voltages, based on tables from the manufacturer The battery cable resistance is essential for calculations performed during battery tests and battery charging. A battery test is terminated when the battery voltage has dropped to the end voltage (defined in the battery table). If the voltage drop in the battery cables is considerable, the measured battery voltage will be lower than it really is, causing the battery to terminate too early. The calculated capacity will then be too low. Cable resistance also influences battery charging. In this case, the charging voltage will be too low and the batteries will never reach 100 % capacity. In order to compensate for this effect, you can configure the alarm module with the total battery cable resistance (both + and ), thus enabling a correct calculation of the battery voltage.
4.8.2.1.1 Define New Battery If you want to use a user-specified battery definition table, instead of one of the pre-defined tables, the definition parameters must first be specified in the New Battery Table. You will find all necessary data in the data sheet from the battery manufacturer. A typical data sheet will contain data as shown in the table below. Battery type: RPA 12 V/100 A at +20C Battery End Voltage 1.7 V/cell 1.8 V/cell 1.9 V/cell Amps Amps Discharge time Amps 111.0 100.0 71.2 30

During a define battery configuration, you need to copy data from the table above to the New Battery Table screen shown below.
Number of end voltages must be higher than two for the computer to be able to calculate accurate battery capacity after a battery test. Recommended minimum is three end voltages. The highest value and the lowest value specified for the battery and one value in between should be selected. The test end voltages must be entered in ascending, starting with the lowest value in row 1. Number of time entries must be higher then two. A minimum of 5 entries is recommended where the longest expected discharge time is the first entry. The time entries must be entered descending, starting with the highest time value in row 1.
After completion of data, proceed to the Battery Setup and fill in the missing data regarding Size, Temperature Compensation, Resistance and Current in Battery Table. The current for all Battery Test End Voltages must be entered. Enter values 1 - 10 000 in the Battery table: Time (min.) / Current (Amps)

4.8.2.2 Battery Test To enable a continuous control of the batteries' condition, the alarm module incorporates functions for a manual or interval test of the batteries. Prerequisites for the test are as follows: Currents from battery to load are measured Correct discharge table from the battery manual is selected Max. test duration is set to a time > expected time needed for the batteries to reach the battery end voltage If battery current is higher than 5% of the battery capacity (value can be set from 1,7-10% in Battery full threshold, in the factory settings in AEON Gold,), the battery test will not start. With a 100 Ah battery installed the battery current must not exceed 5 Amps.

This menu option is based on information given in battery configuration and gives you a brief overview of the battery test:
The following parameters can be set in the Battery Test:
End Voltage Max Duration
Guard Time
Start Time Interval
The battery test is stopped when the battery voltage drops to the End Voltage value specified, if enabled. The battery test is stopped when the test timer reaches Max. Duration. Note: This indicates that the battery test setup may be incorrect. Battery condition will display Aborted. After a mains interruption the guard time starts to count downwards. A new battery test cannot commence before guard time reaches zero. This is to ensure that a battery test is not performed immediately after a mains interruption. The guard time range is defined in chapter 5.6. The time for the interval battery test to commence. The period of time between two battery tests.

Interval battery test The interval battery test function will give you the opportunity to ensure that the capacity is sufficient. This function comprises the following parameters: Enable Start time Interval If parameters are changed in manual or interval battery test, you should save the changes before activating the start button. Activate will enable interval test.
If you select more than one termination criteria, the battery test will be terminated when one of the criteria enabled is reached.
The battery test sequence is as follows: The AEON Gold reduces DC voltage from the rectifiers to battery standby voltage. (The entire load current is thus supplied by the batteries) The AEON Gold measures the average current supplied to the load and the battery voltage. The test is stopped when the termination criteria is reached, or the timer has counted down to Max. duration time. The test should be aborted and repeated if Max. duration occurs. Ensure the prerequisites are correct. The discharge table, on which the battery test is based, calculates with constant current for a specific temperature. In order to obtain capacity test results as accurately as possible, the above-mentioned conditions should be followed. The battery capacity is calculated as the ratio between the actual test time and the expected test time with an average current, as specified in the discharging table.
