1 General
SCU+ is a DC power control unit based on the legacy controller SCU (Standard
Control Unit) used in DC power supply systems NetSure™ 211, 501 and 701. It
communicates with the other units of the power supply system and manages
alarm handling, data processing, voltage control, etc. Compared to the SCU,
the SCU+ offers more features and functions.

The Controller can communicate with the host computer in three modes:
RS232, Modem, and Ethernet (WEB and SNMP). It can communicate with
the rectifiers in CAN-bus mode and communicate with the extension board
through I2C-bus.
1.3.3 Internal
The control- and the rectifier-units are equipped with LEDs that provide relevant
information regarding system- and unit-status, and guide the service technician
to the right unit in case of trouble.
The alarm events are classified into different alarm categories. Different alarm
categories have different visual/audible alarm and alarm report.
The audible alarm is silenced if the user presses any key on SCU+, if the fault
that triggers the alarm is cleared or after 10 min (settable). The audible alarm
can be disabled from a menu in the LCD display.
The alarm LED stops emitting light if all the faults that trigger the alarm are
cleared.
The controller can have two to ten digital inputs. And two to ten potential free
relay outputs. The table below shows on which board the different digital inputs
and relays are located on.
The two relays on the SCU+ are default configured and mapped to alarms of
the following alarm severity:
• Relay 1
• Relay 2
Each relay is individually configurable, using the graphical display. Any alarm
signal available in the system can be connected to a relay output.
The system supports the EEM protocol. This protocol supports active alarm
management, which is to say that the system reports alarms automatically on
occurrence.
2 Software functions
1
The maximum influence, U of the function, is ±2 V from the nominal system
voltage. The temperature compensation is disabled if there is a rectifier
communication failure, DC over/undervoltage or a low voltage disconnection.
Start of Charging
When the battery charge current exceeds a preset value for 3 minutes or if the
calculated battery capacity has decreased to a preset value (after a mains
failure, for example), the charging function of the SCU+ is activated. A charging
signal is sent from the SCU+ to the rectifiers to increase the voltage up to the
battery charging level Uboost.
After a mains failure or when some battery cells are permanently damaged, the
current to the batteries can be quite extensive. To avoid overheating or further
damages to the battery, the SCU+ will limit the battery current to a preset level
by limiting the charging voltage of the rectifiers. Should the battery current still
exceed a higher preset value an alarm will be issued.
Stop of Charging
When the charging current drops below a preset value a defined prolonged
charging time is started before the charging is stopped and the voltage of the
rectifiers returns to the float charging level (Unom). For security there is a boost
charging limit time that stops the charging after a preset time.
For manual battery tests as well as for cyclic battery tests the following
parameters must be set: End voltage, Test time and Battery capacity discharge
limit.
• In time test mode, the output voltage of the rectifiers is reduced so that only
the batteries power the load. If the batteries fail, the rectifiers will power
the load.
• 'In stable current test mode, the output voltage of the rectifiers is reduced
so that the batteries give the preset test current to the load.
• This test will continue until one of the following three situations occurs:
• The preset test time, see Figure 8, expires. The battery has passed the test.
• The battery voltage drops below the preset end voltage level (Uend) (Figure
8). The battery has not passed the test and the test is interrupted.
• The battery capacity drops below the preset Test end battery capacity. The
battery has not passed the test and the test is interrupted.
• After the test, the output voltage of the rectifiers will increase again so that
the rectifiers feed the plant and charge the batteries.
To prevent serious damage to the batteries during a long mains failure the
loads can be disconnected by voltage-, or time-control, if LVD contactors are
included. The software supports load disconnection in two steps. First step
is Normal load disconnection; second step is Prio load disconnection.Load
reconnection is made automatically on the return of AC mains.
When the set voltage level is reached the backup batteries are disconnected
from the selected loads.
When the set time has elapsed the backup batteries are disconnected from
the selected loads.
The function starts with all rectifiers on. Checks the current out from the
rectifiers if it is too low it will turn one rectifier off. And then check if another
rectifier can be turned off.
If the rectifiers start to deliver more power than the Rect Work setting + 10%
then all rectifiers are turned on and the procedure with turning off rectifiers
starts again.
It is rectifiers with longest run time that will be turned off. And with a settable
interval (Cyc Period) the rectifiers will be cycled so that all rectifiers will be
running that same amount of time in the longer run.
If a distribution or battery fuse (circuit breaker) that has a load connected has
released due to overcurrent or short-circuit or has been removed/manually
released, alarms are initiated.
The digital alarm inputs can be configured regarding name, severity and polarity.
The output alarm terminals can be configured by selecting the alarms with
combinations in between them.
By using the Boolean expressions “AND”, “OR” and “NOT”, alarm combinations
can be configured to influent an outgoing alarm relay
2.3.4 Security
All settings of the SCU can be password protected. There are three different
levels of passwords that can be set and enabled/disabled via the LCD display.
3.1.1 Procedure
Pre – Steps
• Connect an approved grounding strap to your wrist. Attach the other end
to a suitable ground.
Controller Removal
• Loosen the captive fastener securing the top of the latch mechanism to the
front of the Controller. Pull the top of the latch mechanism away from the
Controller (this will retract the latch mechanism located on the underside of
the Controller). This unlocks the Controller from the shelf. Refer to Figure
9 and Figure 10.
Controller Installation/Replacement
• Loosen the captive fastener securing the top of the latch mechanism to the
front of the Controller to be installed. Pull the top of the latch mechanism
away from the Controller (this will retract the latch mechanism located on
the underside of the Controller).
• Push the top of the latch mechanism into the front panel of the Controller,
and secure by tightening the captive fastener. This locks the Controller
securely to the shelf.
Post – Steps
• Go through the settings and make the changes that you need.
• Ensure that there are no local or remote alarms active on the system.
The SCU+ has an LCD screen with backlight, function keys and indicator LEDs.
For fixing the unit to the cabinet slot there is a handle with a locking latch.
3.2.3 LEDs
After the user selects the language, the LCD displays “Waiting” requiring the
user to wait while SCU+ is initialising.
If no key of the SCU+ has been pressed for 8 minutes, the LCD will
automatically display the initial screen with the system information and turn off
its LCD backlight to protect the LCD screen. Pressing any key will turn on the
LCD backlight. The system information is displayed in several screens that are
reached by scrolling by the key.
Once initialized, the main screen is displayed. Press ENT to go to the “Main
Menu” screen.
Note: Note that at the top of the screen the date and time are alternately
displayed.
From the Main Menu, select a submenu by repetitively pressing the " ” or
“ ” key on the screen. The selected submenu will be indicated by the cursor.
Press ENT to open the submenu.
Note: Repeatedly press the ESC key to return in reverse order level by level
from any submenu until the Main screen appears.
The SCU+ there are 2 active alarm information screens and up to 200 history
alarms. The oldest history alarm will be deleted automatically if the total number
of history alarms exceeds 200.
For example, to enter the password of “640275”: Press “ENT”, and the first
position will be highlighted, now you can press or continuously to enter
the numbers from 0 to 9, or enter the letters from “a” to “z” or from capital letter
“A” to “Z.” After entering “6”, press “ENT” and the cursor will move to the next
position and in the same way, press or continuously to enter “4”, and you
can enter the rest of the password “0275” in the same way.
In the submenu of alarm level setting, move cursor before "Alarm Block", press
“ENT”, then you can set the alarm levels of other alarms such as “SPD fault”,
“LFuse Alarm”, “Digital3 Alarm”, etc. In the submenu of alarm level setting,
you can set the alarm level of each alarm to OA observe alarm, MA major
alarm, or CA critical alarm. You can also set the output relay number that
outputs the alarm signal. The characteristics of 4 alarm categories are given
in the Figure 17.
Note: If the analog alarm has two levels of alarm thresholds, and if these two
alarm thresholds are set to the same value, then the second level will
be cancelled and the first level of the alarm will be displayed in LCD.
For example: If the alarm threshold of “high temperature 1” is set to the
same with the threshold of “high temperature 2”, and if this threshold
is set to 40 deg C, then when the temperature exceeds 40 deg C, the
system will only issue “high temperature 1 alarm”, and will not issue
the “high temperature 2 alarm”.
In the alarm level setting submenu, you can also set the output relay no. for the
corresponding alarm.
For the submenu of “AlmVoice” of alarm control menu, you can set it to
“Open”(audible alarm is enabled) or “Close” (no audible alarm), and you can
also set the time of audible alarm and the time can be “3min”, “10min”, “1h”
and “4h”.
For the submenu of “Block Alarm”, you can set “Y” or “N” to select whether the
alarm should be blocked or not. For the submenu of “Clear”, you can select
“History”, ESaveFail”, “Maintain”, “ShortTest”, “TestFail” and “RectLost” to clear
corresponding alarm.
All the eight DI alarms can be configured with activation level and alarm name.
“High” means that when the voltage over the input are above 15V then the
alarm will be activated. “Low” means that when the voltage between over the
input is below 1V then the alarm is activated.
In the Battery Setting menu, there are 4 items that are “Basic”, “Charge”, “Test”
and “Temp Comp” respectively.
-Curr: This is the battery discharge current, as regards to the nominal capacity
of the battery, above which an Automatic Boost is started, when the Automatic
Boost function is enabled. For example, a value of 0.060C10 means that an
Automatic Boost is started if the battery current is greater than 6% of the
battery’s nominal capacity.
-Cap: This is the remaining battery capacity under which (less than) an
Automatic Boost is started when the Automatic Boost function is enabled.
CycBoost
-Period: Use this submenu to set cyclic boost charging period. This is the
interval, in hours, between the boost cycles.
-Time: Use this submenu to set cyclic boost charging time. This is the duration
of each cycle for the Cyclic Boost when this function is enabled.
Const Boost
Short Test: A short test is a short duration battery discharge test used to
verify that parallel batteries are discharging equally. If the discharge current
difference between the two batteries exceeds a preset level (default is 10 A), a
Short Test Fault alarm is generated.
-Enable: Displays whether the short (at specific intervals) battery test function
is enabled (Y) or not (N).
-Enable: Displays whether the constant current battery test function is enabled
(Y) or not (N).
