Applications (Continued)
Systems that utilize the Pulsar Edge controller provide a dedicated location for the controller that
allows the maximum number of power modules to be used per shelf. Present systems locate the
controller to a dedicated position located to the left of the left most power position in the shelf. The
Pulsar Edge controller is typically pre-installed into the power shelf at the factory. However, it can be
ordered separately for spares, installed in the field, or integrated into custom systems. Access to the
controller inputs/outputs is typically located on one or two connectors located at the rear of the shelf.
There are front access shelf designs that locate these connectors to the front of the shelf. For details
on these connections consult each of the product’s individual installation guides.
The Pulsar Edge controller provides controller configurations that have a front panel RS232
asynchronous Craft port or USB connection for local terminal access. The standard RS232
asynchronous Craft port connection is a DB9 but an RJ45 serial port connection is available in specific
configurations. Easy View 2, which simulates the web page interface, is provided as the Graphical User
Interface when accessing the Craft port over the RS232 or USB connection. This program is
downloadable from the ABB home page. A front panel LCD user interface with capacitive touch soft
-keys is also available on several of the platforms for interacting with the controller and power system.
All Pulsar Edge controllers utilize the same base processor board and application code. This board is
populated and packaged differently for the different power system applications. However, software
updates performed in the factory are implemented in all configurations at a time. Since the processor
board and software is common to all Pulsar Edge configurations the controllers have the same basic
operation and functionality. These operations and features are described in this product manual.
