Status and Control

Some features, such as programming of the output voltage, may be controlled both by hardware and firmware.

Unless otherwise noted, control of the output voltage via the signal pin (Vprog) is ‘active’ and overrides as long as the signal voltage is ≤ 3Vdc. A firmware initiated command, attempting to change the output voltage will be ignored as long as the signal voltage (Vprog) is ≤ 3Vdc

Details of analog controls are provided in this data sheet under Signal Definitions. GE Energy will provide separate application notes for the I2C protocol ( Document #97FS2855). Contact your local GE Energy sales representative for details.

Note that most control and capability functions

Signal Definitions

All signals and outputs are referenced to Output return. These include ‘Vstb return’ and ‘Signal return’.

Input Signals

Note: Refer to the individual rectifier data sheets for supported features.

Voltage programming (V

signal can vary the output voltage of all modules.

If 12V output CAR1812 or CAR1612 rectifiers are used, the output can vary ± 10% from 10.8Vdc to 13.2Vdc. The equation of this signal is:

= 10.8 + (V

out

If 2.5 < Vprog < 3, the output is 13.2V. If Vprog is > 3V or left open the programming signal is ignored and the unit output is set at the setpoint of 12Vdc.

This signal is paralleled among the power supplies.

Load share (Ishare): This is a single wire analog signal that is

generated and acted upon automatically by power supplies connected in parallel. The Ishare pins are tied together among the power supplies in the shelf. No resistors or capacitors should get connected to this pin.

Remote ON/OFF: Controls the presence of the main output

voltage. This is an open collector, TTL level control signal. This signal needs to be pulled HI externally through a resistor. Maximum collector voltage is 12Vdc and the maximum sink current is 1mA. A Logic 1 (TTL HI level) turns ON the main output, while a Logic 0 (TTL LO level) turns OFF the main output.

This signal is not overwritten by the firmware ON/OFF instruction. The default firmware setting is ON. An OFF command either through this signal or firmware would turn OFF the power supply.

The default state re-initializes if bias power is interrupted to the processor.

These signals are brought out independently for each power supply.

Preliminary Data Sheet

Enable (ON/OFF): This is a short signal pin that controls the

presence of the main output. This pin should be connected to ‘output return’ on the system side of the output connector. The purpose of this pin is to ensure that the output turns ON after engagement of the power blades and turns OFF prior to disengagement of the power blades.

These signals are brought out independently for each power supply.

Write protect (WP): This signal protects the contents of the

EEPROM from accidental over writing. When left open the EEPROM is write protected. A LO (TTL compatible) permits writing to the EEPROM. This signal is pulled HI internally by the power supply. Note: only for factory programming.

This signal is interconnected among the power supplies

Output signals

Output current monitor (Imon): A voltage level proportional

to the delivered output current is present on this pin. The signal level is 150A = 3V when the CAR182 or CAR1612 rectifiers are used.

These signals are brought out independently for each power supply.

INPUT OK: A TTL compatible status signal representing

whether the input voltage is within the anticipated range. This signal needs to be pulled HI externally through a resistor.

These signals are brought out independently for each power supply.

DC OK: A TTL compatible status signal representing

whether the output voltage is present. This signal needs to be pulled HI externally through a resistor.

These signals are brought out independently for each power supply.

Over temp warning: A TTL compatible status signal

representing whether an over temperature exists. This signal needs to be pulled HI externally through a resistor.

These signals are brought out independently for each power supply.

If an over temperature should occur, this signal would pull LO for approximately 10 seconds prior to shutting down the power supply. The unit would restart if internal temperatures recover within normal operational levels. At that time the signal reverts back to its open collector (HI) state.

Fault: A TTL compatible status signal representing whether

a Fault occurred. This signal needs to be pulled HI externally through a resistor.

These signals are brought out independently for each power supply.

This signal activates for OTP, OVP, OCP, AC fault or No output.

Module Present: This pin is connected to ‘output return’

within the power supply. Its intent is to indicate to the system that a power supply is present. This signal may need to be pulled HI externally through a resistor.

Main Output: 600A; Standby output: 8A

These signals are brought out independently for each power supply.

Interrupt (SMBAlert): A TTL compatible status signal,

representing the SMBusAlert# feature of the PMBus compatible i needs to be pulled HI externally through a resistor. Maximum sink current ≤ 4mA and the pull up resistor should be tied to 3.3Vdc. Open collector (HI) on this signal indicates that no Interrupt has been triggered.

This signal is paralleled among the power supplies.

Serial Bus Communications

The I²C interface facilitates the monitoring and control of various operating parameters within the unit and transmits these on demand over an industry standard I²C Serial bus.

All signals are referenced to ‘Signal Return’.

Device addressing: The microcontroller (MCU) and the

EEPROM have the following addresses:

Device Address Address Bit Assignments

MCU 0xBx 1 0 1 1 A2 A1 A0 R/W EEPROM 0xAx 1 0 1 0 A2 A1 A0 R/W

Address lines (A1, A0): These signal pins allow up to four (4)

modules to be addressed on a single I²C bus. The pins are configured automatically in the shelf. Rectifier addressing increments from left to right as viewed from the front.

Address line (A2): This bit sets the address of the shelf. The

bit setting depends on the rear accessible dip switch and pin 51 of the signal connector. In order to set the address HI (‘1’), the dip switch needs to be set to Mark 1 and the signal pin needs to be left open. Setting the dip switch to Mark 0 or grounding pin 51 will configure the shelf to address bit 0 (LO).

Serial Clock (SCL): The clock pulses on this line are generated

by the host that initiates communications across the I²C Serial bus. This signal is pulled up internally to 3.3V [ 5V a 10kΩ resistor. The end user should add additional pull up resistance as necessary to ensure that rise and fall time timing and the maximum sink current is in compliance to the I²C specifications.

This signal is paralleled among the power supplies.

Serial Data (SDA): This line is a bi-directional data line. . This

signal is pulled up internally to 3.3V [ 5V ] by a 10kΩ resistor. The end user should add additional pull up resistance as necessary to ensure that rise and fall time timing and the maximum sink current is in compliance to the I²C specifications.

This signal is paralleled among the power supplies.

Output Power Terminations

The outputs of the four power supplies are internally connected in parallel and brought out on the rear panel via four sets of M6 studs with 5/8 inch center spacing, accommodati ng industry standard lugs. The lug terminations can e xit the sh e lf either above or below the shelf, or to the rear when right angle lugs are utilized. An insulation cover is provided over the lug terminations and it ca n be rotated to accommodate the cables exiting either upward or downward.

The maximum output current capacity of the lug/wire combination should be sized to carry 300 amperes per set when two lugs are utilized.
