It can provide plant alarm and control information to a distributed or centralized Network Operation Center (NOC) using the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) or the Transaction Machine Language (TL1), which allow the Pulsar Edge to provide alarm information to the NOC for integrated network management.
Galaxy Pulsar Edge Power System Controller the Pulsar Edge’s port to be configured to operate plugged into the network. It can also be used in a “DHCP- Server” mode to provide Craft port functionality. In this mode the Pulsar Edge up 192.168.2.1 which should be used as the destination address in a user’s browser. Note: once this parameter is changed, the controller must be re-booted by removing power from the unit by removing and re-inserting the unit into the shelf.
Galaxy Pulsar Edge Power System Controller * These fields are automatically assigned when using the DHCP server or Client mode of operation and are generally required when utilizing a Static IP address setting. The controller provides configurable community strings for SNMP traps and Sets and Gets. Trap Community Strings Individual IP addresses and description configurations for up to four public community string alarm traps are provided.

Galaxy Pulsar Edge Power System Controller 6 One-Wire Peripheral Devices QS873A Voltage/Thermal Probes The QS873A Voltage/Thermal Probes (VT-Probes) are used to measure battery temperatures for slope thermal compensation, and to provide mid-string voltages to the ES771 for battery voltage imbalance detection.
Galaxy Pulsar Edge Power System Controller J1 2-position connector serves to connect the VT-Probe to J2 on other VT-Probes in a daisy-chain fashion described above. Application QS873 VT Probes can be used with or without mid-string voltage monitoring. Only one probe is required to allow the battery slope thermal compensation function to be utilized. Additional probes for individual battery or multiple string monitoring can be added as desired.
Galaxy Pulsar Edge Power System Controller Step Action 4 5 Snap the cover closed on the VT-probe. Place the first probe to the negative battery post as shown in figure. 6 The controller automatically recognizes the VT-probes. The number of registered temperature probes and the highest battery temperature monitored may be checked from the front panel by scrolling down the menu at MenuStatusBatteries.
Galaxy Pulsar Edge Power System Controller ES771A Module Remote Mid-String Voltage Monitor The ES771A remote mid-string voltage monitoring module is used to measure the mid-string voltages of up to three strings of batteries. This unit utilizes an appropriate QS873A VT-Probe connection to obtain the voltage for measurement. It then serially transmits the appropriate information to the system controller which performs the voltage imbalance detection feature.
Galaxy Pulsar Edge Power System Controller ID Switch A seven-position rotary ID switch is used by the Pulsar Edge to uniquely address each ES771A in the system. A setting of “0” produces and invalid ID alarm. Valid ID settings are from 1 through 6. Units shipped from the factory have a factory default ID setting of “one”. Status LED The module illuminates its green LED when plugged into the 1-wire network and with the VTprobe attached to negative battery terminal of the mid-string voltage.

Galaxy Pulsar Edge Power System Controller Appendix C: Battery Functions Float Mode Float mode is the default operation mode of the power system. The system voltage, while in float mode, is determined by the configuration parameter Rectifier Float Set point (fsp) and may be adjusted by the Battery Thermal Compensation circuit, if active.
Galaxy Pulsar Edge Power System Controller Figure C-1: Slope Thermal Compensation The following describes the configuration parameters which may be Enabled/Disabled and configured by the user. Refer to Appendix D for the ranges of values the parameters may take and their factory default settings. Temperature Alarms The Pulsar Edge has several alarm thresholds that can be set based on temperature.
Galaxy Pulsar Edge Power System Controller • • • severity. Very High Temperature Alarm: The Very High Battery Thermal Alarm Threshold is a second alarm threshold available for high battery temperature. The monitored battery temperature at which above this threshold results in a Very High Battery Thermal alarm. This alarm threshold can be set from 30°C to 85°C and its severity is configurable. The alarm retires when the temperature drops to 10°C below the set threshold.
Galaxy Pulsar Edge Power System Controller rate that the controller utilizes to decrease the system DC voltage from the configured nominal temperature value to the High Temperature Compensation Limit. The high temperature slope setting (rate of decrease) can be set from -1mV to -10mV/oC per cell in -.1mV/oC per cell steps. The factory default is -3mV/oC per cell. • Nominal Temperature: The nominal temperature, shown as ntt, is the battery temperature which there is no battery voltage compensation.
Galaxy Pulsar Edge Power System Controller discharge and looks for the Coup de fouet in the discharge curve and runs the discharge for a time equal to about 20% of the system reserve capacity and calculates the remainder. • Amp-Hours Out: The test can be set to end when configured Amp-Hours to be removed has been reached. This test is also bound by the test duration timed parameter.
Galaxy Pulsar Edge Power System Controller • The test has continued for over 100 minutes. • The plant voltage has dropped below 44V or the LVD safe voltage. In this case, the system will abort the test and resume rectifier operation. After the test has stopped, the plant will revert to the float mode. It may go to boost mode if the auto-boost feature has been enabled.
Galaxy Pulsar Edge Power System Controller This feature may be used by customers to determine if the load being served is greater than N rectifiers worth, in an N+1 system. That is, the load requirements have changed such that the power system is no longer operating as a redundant power system. An additional rectifier may be required to ensure continuous redundant operation. More rectifiers may be required if more than N+1 redundancy is configured and required.
Galaxy Pulsar Edge Power System Controller Battery Parameter Defaults The Pulsar Edge controller has been configured with battery specific defaults. These battery types are shown in the top portion of Table B-1. The generic Valve-Regulated Lead Acid battery is the default battery type for this controller configuration. Battery models and their parameters can be added or adjusted in the field.
Galaxy Pulsar Edge Power System Controller Appendix D: Default Configurations Tables D-1through D-4 provide the default settings for the configurable parameters and features that are associated in the Pulsar Edge. Also listed are the battery technologies and specific battery models included in the configuration file previously shown in Appendix C. Specific battery models assume the configuration defaults for their generic technology class except for a specific capacity and model name.

Galaxy Pulsar Edge Power System Controller Appendix E: Alarms and Relays Alarm Relays The Galaxy Pulsar Edge can be configured to provide up to six alarm relays depending on the controller configuration. Four alarm relays provide the alarm condition and two provide the overall system severity associated with the alarm. Presently, the maximum number of relays available in the Infinity NE841A and QS841E is six. The maximum number of relays in the CP841A and SPS841A controllers is five.

Galaxy Pulsar Edge Power System Controller Appendix F: SNMP SNMP Overview In addition to supporting the basic protocols (Telnet, HTTP, FTP, and SMTP) on TCP/IP, the Pulsar Edge supports conveying system alarm and control information to a Network Operation Center (NOC) using the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). SNMP is the most popular protocol for managing diverse networks.
Galaxy Pulsar Edge Power System Controller SNMP Operations Interactions between the SNMP Host and the SNMP Agent can be any of four different types of commands: Reads, Writes, Traversal operations, and Traps. SNMP utilizes six operations to respond to the various SNMP Hosts: Get, GetNext, GetBulk, Set, Trap, and Inform. The Pulsar Edge implements the Get, GetNext, Set, and Trap operations. Get - Allows the SNMP Host to retrieve a value from the SNMP Agent.
Galaxy Pulsar Edge Power System Controller Individual alarms or events are assigned as Traps to one of the four specific SNMP destinations. Assignment of the alarm and events is performed under the “Alarm Notification” link under the main configuration “Settings” tab. The sample screen for this configuration follows. Community Strings SNMP Community Strings can serve as trap destinations as well as passwords or user IDs for network elements.
