Alternative Energy Input Metering
The SC200 can meter currents supplied to the DC bus from alternative energy sources such as
solar or wind. This means that it can calculate currents to and from the DC bus correctly, even
when both rectifiers and alternative energy sources are providing power.
► To set up alternative energy input metering
For each alternative energy source, connect a current sensor from the energy source to an
analog input.
In DCTools/Web go to: Analog Inputs.
Configure the selected Analog Inputs and set Function to Alternative Energy Source Current.
The alternative energy source current is calculated as the sum of the currents of all analog
inputs configured as Alternative Energy Source Current.
Smart Alarms based on System Value Sources can be used to configure alarms based on the
Alternative Energy Source Current.
See Smart Alarms on page 49 for details of how to set Smart Alarms.
The System Summary displayed in DCTools and the System Schematic shown in the SC200 web
page displays the source current values (rectifiers and alternative energy sources) and load current
values (load and batteries). If one of these values is not available, it is calculated from the other
system current values.
Input/Output (I/O)
The following section describes the I/O functions available with a single IOBGP I/O board.
Also see I/O Board Mapping on page 119.
Optional SiteSure-3G input/output (I/O) modules or additional IOBGP I/O boards can be
connected to the SC200 to provide additional I/O to monitor and control external devices. For
details refer to the SiteSure-3G Installation Guide (see Related Information on page i).
Identify an I/O Board
Input/Output (I/O) boards and SiteSure-3G modules are referenced by their serial numbers.
► To identify a particular I/O board or SiteSure-3G module
Either:
On SC200 keypad go to: Settings > IOBs and select a module or board. Press Enter.
The I/O board details screen appears. Use to scroll to other I/O boards.
The Power-on LED on the selected I/O board or SiteSure-3G module will flash for 60
seconds (or press Esc to stop).
Or:
In DCTools/Web go to: Configuration > RXP > RXP Devices.
DCTools: select Identify Device or Web: click on Start Identifying.
The Power-on LED on the selected I/O board or SiteSure-3G module will flash for 60
seconds.
