Tyco Electronics Galaxy SC Controller J85501F-1
4 - 52 Configuration Issue 13 February 2001
Battery Test: This field enables or disables the Battery Discharge Test
feature. If enabled here, the test can be initiated on path Control →
Battery Test.
Enhanced Prediction: This field enables or disables the Enhanced
Battery Discharge Test feature that uses the Reserve Time Prediction
Algorithm for specific types of batteries along with temperature,
number of strings, cells per string and end voltage parameters to provide
even greater accuracy than the basic Battery Test. This featured can be
enabled if Tyco batteries, as outlined in Section 7, are installed.
Additional parameters necessary for Enhanced Prediction are located on
the DC Plant → Software Configuration path, plus battery temperature
must be monitored.
Battery Section Configure → Battery Mgmt → Battery Section. There are no Battery
Sections configured in the system. The user must first add a Section then
modify it. Up to 70 Battery Sections can be added. Additional
information regarding Battery Sections, can be found in Chapter 7. Each
Battery Section added will have the following configurable parameters:
DES: Allows modification of the default designation.
Contactor: Assigns Contactor 1 (CN1), Contactor 2 (CN2), or
Contactor 3 (CN3) to this Battery Section. (For information purposes
only. Contactor control is via the BIC card or UR relay wiring and
configuration that is completed under EasyView path: Configure →
Battery Mgmt → Contactor 1 / Contactor 2 / Contactor 3) The same
contactor can be assigned in several Battery Sections.
Number of strings: Number of strings in this Battery Section
Battery Type: Select from predefined list of Tyco batteries. Used in
Battery Reserve Time Prediction.
Mid Point Voltage: An RPM voltage channel, monitoring the mid
string voltage may be optionally linked.
Pilot Cell Voltage: An RPM voltage channel, monitoring the pilot cell
voltage may be optionally linked.
DC Charge Current: An RPM shunt channel, monitoring the battery
shunt may be optionally linked. If a bipolar type RPM unit is used for
the DC Discharge Current link, this item need not be configured.
