Chapter 1 Overview

This chapter introduces the appearance and main functions of the M520S monitoring module (monitoring module for
short).

1.1 Appearance
The appearance of the monitoring module is shown in Figure 1-1.

Figure 1-1 Appearance of the monitoring module

1.2 Main Functions

1.2.1 Background Communication

The monitoring module provides an RS232/MODEM/Ethernet and eight groups of alarm dry contact outputs used to
communicate with the monitoring computer. Purchase a network port plate if you need to use Ethernet
communication.

RS232 communication mode


The RS232 mode is mainly used for short distance end-to-end communication, with an electric distance of not more
than 15 meters. During communication, just connect the RS232 port of the monitoring module to the RS232 port of
your computer.

MODEM communication mode


The MODEM communication mode can realize remote monitoring through the public service telephone network
(PSTN). The MODEM, relevant power cables and communication cables need to be equipped for this mode.

Dry contact output mode


The monitoring module provides eight groups of alarm dry contact outputs. The contacts include normally open and
normally closed contacts. Before the occurrence of the alarm event, each dry contact shall be configured in advance.
Each group of dry contact corresponds to a certain type of alarms or a certain alarm type group, which is realized by
certain logic relation. In this way, once the alarm event or a group of alarm events satisfying the logic relation
occurs/occur, the dry contacts will act and generate an alarm.
If you have other intelligent monitoring, the alarm dry contact can be connected to the interface of other intelligent
monitoring equipment, so as to conveniently realize the dry contact networking and complete the level isolation
transmission of the fault signal.
Dry contact capacity: 2A@30Vdc; 0.5A@125Vac. Maximal power consumption: 60W.

1.2.2 Multiple Monitoring Functions

The monitoring computer can realize the following monitoring functions on the power supply system through the
monitoring module in the RS232 and MODEM communication modes.

M520S Monitoring Module User Manual


2 Chapter 1 Overview

Remote acquiring analog signals: The monitoring computer can obtain the analog signal of the system in real time
through the monitoring module.
Remote acquiring digital signals: The monitoring computer can obtain the digital signal of the system in real time
through the monitoring module.
Remote control function: The monitoring computer can realize the rectifier on/off, system boost charge/float charge,
system control mode changeover, alarm silence and start/stop battery test.

1.2.3 Setting Dry Contact Alarm Types

1. A certain type of alarms can be output by a certain dry contact by setting the associated relay parameters in the
alarm parameters of the alarm type. Once the alarm event occurs, the corresponding dry contact will act and
generate an alarm. Five groups of alarm dry contacts have been configured to output the default alarm types before
delivery.
2. The monitoring module has programmable logic controller (PLC) function. Through the computer, the types of the
alarms output by the eight dry contacts can be set flexibly. The PLC setting for each dry contact includes three input
alarms and two relation flags. That is, the serial numbers and the logic relations of the three alarm types need to be
set. The logic relation includes and, or and not.
The PLC function can be set to disabled. If the PLC function and the association relay setting are both enabled,
when any type of alarm under either setting mode occurs, the corresponding dry contact will act and generate an
alarm.

1.2.4 Different Authorities Protected By Different Password Levels

You have the authority to conduct control output and parameter setting on the monitoring module before you input
the correct password. The monitoring module has three passwords with different operation authorities: user level
password, engineer level password and administrator level password. The three passwords have the same
authorities for control output. But during the setting of system parameters under parameter setting, the parameters
for the setting and the operation functions are different. The engineer level password will have more operation
authorities than the user level password, including reset system, reset password and change system type. The
administrator level password has more operation authorities than the engineer level password, including change
password, referring to rectifier serial numbers, software version and setting digital value parameters. The password
levels and the operation authorities are listed in Table 1-1.

The monitoring module alarms are classified into four types: critical alarm, major alarm, observation and no alarm.
Critical alarm, major alarm: These two types of alarms have strong impacts on the system performance. Whenever
these alarms are generated, you are supposed to handle them immediately. The alarm indicators will be on and
audible indication will be given.
Observation: When this type of alarm is raised, the system maintains normal output for a while. If the alarm occurs
during watch time, it should be handled immediately. If the alarm occurs during non- watch- time, handle it during
watch time. The alarm indicators will be on when observation alarm occurs.
No alarm: The system will not generate a visible or audible indication.

The monitoring module can do battery test, and record 10 sets of test data (accessible only through the host). The
battery test has to be started manually, then the monitoring module will control the rectifier output voltage, make it
lower than the battery voltage, and the battery discharge will begin. The monitoring module will stop the test if the
battery voltage reaches the Battery Test Voltage, or the discharge time reaches Battery Test Time, or the battery
capacity reaches Test End Cap. Afterwards, it will restore the rectifier output voltage to the normal FC voltage, begin
the battery charge and switch the system to battery auto-management.
Meanwhile the test start time/voltage and end time/voltage and battery remaining capacity will be recorded. The
records can be queried through the host. During the battery test, if abnormalities occur, the monitoring module will
stop the battery test automatically.

Figure 3-37 Energy Saving page

If you want the system operating under energy saving mode, set Save Enable to Y, otherwise, set it to N. Set Cyc
Period according to actual instance. The saving operating theory of the system is described as follows:
1. Operating theory
Under energy saving mode, the monitoring module will switch off some rectifiers, the power-on rectifiers will be
charged with all loads. Each power-on rectifier works on the best efficiency to improve utilization ratio of the rectifier
and save energy consumption. After certain time (that is Cyc Period in Figure 3-37), the power-off rectifiers will work,
meanwhile the power-on rectifiers will stop work. Two states circulate, so as to make sure that the working hours of
the rectifiers in the system approach. If the battery current and load current change, the monitoring module will switch
off some power-on rectifiers or switch on some power-off rectifiers. In any case, the system guarantees at least one
rectifier to work.
2. Prerequisite
If the battery is configured and load current without instantly shocks, the system will operate under energy saving
mode, that is, Save Enable is set to Y.
3. Advantage
 Working on the best efficiency to save energy.
 Balancing working hours of the rectifiers to prolong the lifetime of the rectifier.
 In shutdown state, preventing rectifiers from damaged about AC inrush to reduce lightning fault.

M520S Monitoring Module User Manual


24 Chapter 3 Use Of Monitoring Module

4. Abnormal situation treatment


 Switch off all the rectifiers when busbar voltage fails (DC over- voltage or low- voltage).
 Switch on all the rectifiers when a rectifier alarm (Rect Not Respond) is generated.
 Switch on all the rectifiers when an AC alarm (Mains Failure) is generated.
 Switch on all the rectifiers automatically when the system has no monitoring module or the communication is
interrupted between the rectifier and monitoring module.
 Delay implementation when the rectifier receives shutdown command, immediately execute when the rectifier
receives startup order.
