Configuring the operating mode
NOTICE!
– The Tarom MPPT 6000-S StecaLink slave member can be integrated into a master/slave
system with various different function scopes.
– Save setting: This specifies that the following settings in the master are to be
transferred to the slave and locally stored in the slave:
date format,
date,
time format,
time,
language,
acoustic alarm,
backlighting,
battery type (only for the lead-acid battery type, not for Li-Ion, NiCd),
battery capacity,
float charge voltage,
boost charge activation threshold,
boost charge voltage,
boost charge duration,
equalisation charge on/off and cycle,
equalisation charge activation threshold,
equalisation charge voltage,
equalisation charge duration.
–
The Save setting setting configuration allows the MPPT 6000-S to continue
operating locally using the previously transferred settings if communication with the
master is interrupted. This function is only available for the lead-acid and lead-gel/
AGM battery types supported by the MPPT 6000-S. Settings for other battery types
that can be selected at the master cannot be stored in the MPPT 6000 slave.
– Selecting Save setting does not trigger a data transfer to the slave. The
Synchronise function must be executed in order to transfer the settings from the
master to the slave, see
Ä ‘Synchronising slave’ on page 91.
– Single mode: This specifies that the slave is to be used as a single device,
independently of the master. This allows individual configuration of the slave,
independently of the master. In this case the master does not send control parameters
to the slave. Information is still exchanged. The master reads information from the
slave for display and data logging purposes.
– Master mode: This specifies that the charge functions of the slave are controlled by
the master. The master transmits the current control parameter settings to the slave.
The slave adopts these control parameter settings and can thus be centrally controlled
by the master. The master also reads information from the slave for display and data
logging purposes.
The master mode of the MPPT 6000-S is possible for the lead-acid, lead-gel/AGM and
NiCd battery types. The master transmits the necessary charge voltage and current
control parameters for all battery types. If communication with the master is
interrupted then all registered MPPT 6000-S devices are switched off for safety
reasons; disconnected MPPT 6000-S devices perform a reset and then start anew in
the ‘OFF’ state. If the ‘Device On/Off è Redundancy’ function is active at the MPPT
6000-S and a lead-acid battery system was previously charged in conjunction with the
MPPT 6000-M then the MPPT 6000-S device(s) begin operating independently if the
