Galaxy Pulsar Edge Power System Controller
1 Introduction
Overview
The Galaxy Pulsar family of controllers is comprised of the Galaxy Pulsar Plus and Galaxy Pulsar
Edge controllers. This manual covers the Galaxy Pulsar Edge group of power system controllers.
These controllers were developed to be integrated into the power shelves of the Compact Power
Line (CPL), Slimline Power Systems (SPS) , CPS6000 Series II power systems, and the Infinity
NE group of converter shelves. The controller is designed to work in the respective power
systems in both indoor and outdoor cabinetized and frame power applications. The modular
hardware and software design of the Pulsar Edge allows for easy customization for specific
applications.
The Pulsar Edge provides control and alarm monitoring functions over several communication
interfaces including a standard robust RS485 digital serial interface that interconnects system
rectifiers, converters, and other smart peripherals. Control and monitoring involves power module
management that provides centralized settings for rectifier output set-point voltages, alarm
management items with user defined high and low voltage alarm and shutdown thresholds, load
and battery disconnect management, distribution monitoring, and battery management features.
Users have access to these and other features through both local and remote means. The majority
of the configurable items for the controller’s features and its associated thresholds have been set
to industry standard defaults that can be changed to fit specific needs. Having standard defaults
helps minimize the equipment setup process in the field. To further facilitate field installation,
these controllers are also available with customer specific configuration factory defaults.
Customization allows a controller to be Factory tailored for applications or for specific
configuration preferences.
Key Features
• Modular design utilizing a dedicated power shelf location leaving maximum power modules

Applications
The Galaxy Pulsar Edge controller is available in applications involving the Compact Power Line
(CPL), Slimline Power Systems (SPS), CPS6000 Series II power systems, and the Infinity NE
group of converter shelves. These systems consist of an integrated controller power shelf that can
be single shelf systems with integrated distribution or multi-shelf systems with external
distribution for battery or battery-less DC power systems. The controller is available with or
without a front panel display and user interface in the CPS6000 Series II, Infinity, and SPS
product lines. CPL supports display-less options of the Galaxy Pulsar Edge. Following are a few
product depictions utilizing the various Pulsar Edge controller configurations. Consult
appropriate system manuals, technical field support or your local sales representative for more
details on these or other power systems that may utilize the Edge controller.

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 Galaxy 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. EasyView 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 Lineage Power 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 Galaxy 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 Galaxy Pulsar Edge configurations
the controllers have the same bas ic operation and functionality. These operations and features are
described in this product manual.
