7.3 Protection thresholds
The so-called protection thresholds are display boxes and in-
put boxes. There are only enabled for entering values while
the device is in remote control via digital interface.
Remote control condition is displayed in the status area by
parameter “Access:”. After the input boxes have been ena-
bled, you can enter values either by typing or by copy & paste.
The allowed value range per input box is identical to what the device allows to adjust on the front panel for manual use.
The adjustment range of a protection threshold always is 0…110% of the related nominal value.
In case, any value you enter is too high or too low, it is not accepted and the former value will be displayed again.
Note: Set values are only submitted to the device after pressing key ENTER or RETURN as confirmation.
7.4 Status
The status area shows a copy of the device status as indi-
cated on the device’s display. There can be slight differ-
ences. For example, a PSI 5000 device only shows “Re-
mote” in the display, no matter if remotely controlled via an-
alog or digital interface. The status area clearly shows the
type of interface in charge (see below).
Status indicators:
Mode: Displays the condition of the DC output/input as “OFF” while it’s off and while it is switched on, the actual
regulation mode (CC, CV, CP, CR) is indicated here. For details about regulation modes please refer to
the device manual.
OP Mode: Indicates with “UIR” that resistance mode (where featured) or normal mode with “OP Mode = UIP” is
active.
MS Mode: Shows the status of master-slave mode (where featured) with:
N/A = Device does not feature „Master-Slave“
Off = Master-Slave (MS) is available, but deactivated at the moment
Slave = Master-Slave (MS) is available, device is set as Slave (remote control not possible)
Master = Master-Slave (MS) is available, device is set as Slave Master (remote control possible)
Access: Shows the access to the device via interface as available for remote control with “free” or while the device
is in remote control, the type of interface in charge (“rem” = remote control).
Alarm: Shows the last device alarm of the device. Some device alarms switch off the DC output/input and have
to be acknowledged before the device can be used again. In such a situation, the button ON/OFF below
the status area changes to “ACK alarm”. It has be used to clear the alarm condition and to enable the
ON/OFF button again, but only after there is no alarm present anymore.
Note: Statuses are only read from the device(s) and are influenced by any operation (manual or via analog interface).
They are always indicated, even if the device is not in remote control by EA Power Control.
