www.pulsar.pl INTRE-C 3. Installation. 3.1 Basic guidelines.
www.pulsar.pl INTRE-C 5. Installation of the interface. 1. Lead the cable of the RS485 bus through the cable gland and the appropriate hole in the enclosure and then connect to the RS485 connector of the interface. The A+, B- cables should be connected the same way as the rest of devices (A+ to A+, B- to B-) In the case of shielded wires, the shield should be connected to the SG signal ground terminal. 2. Optionally, mount the 120 Ohm terminal resistors at the end of the RS485 bus. 3.
www.pulsar.pl INTRE-C 6. „PowerSecurity” web application. The PowerSecurity web application has been embedded in the INTE-C and INTRE-C communication interfaces. The programme is a website uploaded from an embedded WWW server which is loaded upon entering the IP address in the web browser window..
www.pulsar.pl INTRE-C Upon loading of the login page, choose the installer’s name and enter the access password. The default settings are: name = „installer’s” Password: = „admin”. It is recommended to change the installer’s name and the password upon the first logging. An Ethernet module enables restoration of default logging values in case they are lost. To this end, open the PSU casing so as to gain access to the module installed inside.
www.pulsar.pl INTRE-C 4.2 Device’s Upon a correctly conducted logging operation, the PowerSecurity web application with visible available devices will be loaded. During the first startup of the PowerSecurity application, the field of PSUs will be empty, despite the physical connection being established. For the PSU to appear in this field, start the detection procedure – see section „INTRE-C Interface – Detection”. List of tabs Communication interface field. PSU field Fig. 7.
www.pulsar.pl INTRE-C Hovering the mouse over an element changes its backlight, evidencing the device’s status. Three statuses are possible: No errors – green backlight Errors – yellow backlight No communication – grey backlight 4.3 Power supply – Status Upon selection of the PSU in the „Devices” tab, the „Status” tab is loaded in the browser window, showing an active flowchart of the PSU, together with parameters in individual circuits. 1. PSU identification. Battery test.
www.pulsar.pl INTRE-C 4.4 Power supply – Installation The picture below shows the „Information” tab. The displayed information only has a read-only status. DATE AND TIME – date and system time of the device SOFTWARE VERSION – control software version S/N – serial number of the device Fig. 10. „Information” tab. 4.5 Power supply – Settings Upon selection of the „Settings” tab, selected PSU parameters may be configured. This modification is only available upon logging in to the account as the installer.
www.pulsar.pl INTRE-C 4.5.2 Password. In the „Password” section, it is possible to change the default settings of the user and installer passwords. It is recommended to change the default user and installer passwords upon the first system logging. The new password should be entered twice in the appropriate boxes. If the two passwords do not match, the password box will be backlit red. Fig. 13. Changing password. In order to confirm the introduced changes, press „Save". 4.5.3 EPS.
www.pulsar.pl Device time Browser time Set the browser time INTRE-C – current system clock time of the PSU. – current browser time of the local computer. – upon selection, the PSU time is synchronized with the browser time. In order to confirm the introduced changes, press „Save”. 4.5.5 Display. In the „Display” field, it is possible to set the display parameters of the LCD panel of the PSU.
www.pulsar.pl INTRE-C 4.6 Diagrams The „Graphs” tab enables reading of the history of parameters (current, voltage, resistance of the battery circuit, temperature) in the form of graphs registered in the memory of the PSU. During normal work, the PSU registers the electric parameters, both in the output and battery circuit, and subsequently records them in the internal data memory.
www.pulsar.pl - Ibat - Tbat - Rbat INTRE-C - current drawn from the battery - battery temperature - resistance of battery The graph window is automatically scaled in reference to the minimum and maximum values on the vertical axis. Graphs may be scaled using the mouse wheel, upon pointing to the relevant axis of the graph.. The program enables archiving of data from the read graphs for later analysis. By pressing „Save in File”, the data are recorded in the „.
www.pulsar.pl INTRE-C The read history of events is displayed as a table, following the chronological order. The table includes the exact time of occurrence of the event, the error code, the description of the event type, as well as electrical parameters and the status of individual technical outputs. The program enables filtration of events by content.
www.pulsar.pl INTRE-C 4.9 Interface INTRE-C – Status Upon selection of an interface in the „Devices” tab, the „Status” tab is loaded in the browser window. PSU identification List of errors Fig. 21. View of the „Status” tab. „Identify” button – facilitates the identification of an interface at the installation site. Upon pressing, LED diodes flash for 5 seconds. „Errors” button – a window appears upon pressing, displaying the current errors of the interface, if any. 4.
www.pulsar.pl INTRE-C 4.11 Interfejs INTRE-C – Settings Upon selection of the „Settings” tab, selected interface parameters may be configured. This modification is only available upon logging in to the account as the installer. Default login parameters on the installer’s level: Name: „Instalator” Password: „admin” Fig. 23. View of the „Settings”. 4.11.1 Interfejs INTRE-C – Device name. In the „Device Name” field, the name to be identified with the device should be entered.

In the „Network” field, the network parameters enabling communication with the PSU can be accessed. Fig. 26. Network settings. – automatic IP address assignment. Upon selection of the option, the PSU, each time when power is switched on, will have an IP address automatically assigned from the pool of free server addresses.
www.pulsar.pl INTRE-C 4.11.4 Interface INTRE-C – Date and time. In the „Date and Time” field, a window appears in which the date and time of the system clock of the interface may be set. Setting correct date and time is important for keeping chronology of events stored in internal memory. Fig. 27. Date and time settings. Device time Browser time Set the browser time – current system clock time of the PSU. – current browser time of the local computer.
www.pulsar.pl INTRE-C 4.11.6 Interface INTRE-C – Email. The interface has a function of remote alerting via automatically sent email notifications. The notifications include information on the current error codes with the exact malfunction occurrence time. The email notifications are sent to 2 recipients. The service includes SSL encryption of the mail and authorization for the user’s verification through the outgoing mail system (SMTP) in order to ensure safety of the mail account.
www.pulsar.pl INTRE-C Upon unfolding the „Malfunctions” option, it is possible to select the events that will trigger sending of notifications and will be placed on the list. In case of occurrence of an event from the list, the PSU will wait for a time set in the field „Notification delay time” and subsequently send a message to the recipients. A full list of events has been presented below. Fig. 30. List of events triggering the sending of an email notification.
www.pulsar.pl INTRE-C 4.11.7 Interface INTRE-C – RS485/TTL. In the RS485/TTL field, the communication parameters of the interface may be manually set. To enable the establishment of communication between the PSU and the interface, the communication parameters must be identical in both devices. If communication takes place between a PSU and an INTE-C interface, the connection speed setting may be omitted.
www.pulsar.pl INTRE-C Fig. 33. List of devices detected on the bus. The devices on the list are arranged by serial numbers; however, for the communication to be effected automatically, each device should be assigned with another address. To this end, press „Self-Addressing”. Fig. 34. List of devices on the bus – address assignment.
www.pulsar.pl INTRE-C The next operation to be performed is optimal setting of the communication speed. Upon pressing the „Detect Speed” button, the interface performs a speed test with all PSUs on the bus and uses it as a basis to select the optimal communication speed, common for all PSUs. In order to confirm the introduced changes, press „Save”. 4.13 Update. The devices support the function of software update by a file which may be downloaded from www.pulsar.pl.
