1 Introduction

General Information

This product manual describes the Lineage Power GCM2 and GCM3 versions of the Galaxy Vector Controller. These controllers are an integral part of various Lineage Power GPS (Galaxy Power System) and OPS (Outdoor Power System) series power plants. They provide control and alarm monitoring functions over a digital serial interface that interconnects plant rectifiers and converters. Control includes the setting of converter output voltage, rectifier output voltage, current limit, high voltage shutdown, rectifier restart, sequencing and boost mode. This serial digital communication interface helps automate the installation and setup process. For example, the need to use potentiometers to separately set individual rectifier and converter output voltage levels is eliminated. Versions of the Vector Controller are available for both +24Vdc (GCM2) and ­48Vdc (GCM3) plants, including the 24V Flexent Wireless™ indoor and outdoor systems and H569-453 (+24V) / H569-454 (-48V) OPS systems.
The following Lineage Power rectifiers can interface with the Galaxy Vector Controller:
Model Vdc Current
570A -48V 100A 595A, 595B, 595C -48V 200A 596A / 596D -48V 50A / 100A 596B +24V 100A / 125A 596F (Flexent) +24V 100A NP -48 24-50A
Note: The Galaxy to Rectifier protocol supports many different features and variables. Not all rectifiers support the complete feature set.
Issue 4 January 2008 Introduction 1 - 1
Galaxy Vector Controller GCM2, GCM3
In addition to rectifier and converter control, the Vector Controller provides:
Visual alarm and plant status on the user front panel display assembly
Form C or transfer type contacts for the various alarm conditions for external use
Modem or network interface
Low voltage battery disconnect
This manual describes the basic features, operation, installation and configuration, acceptance testing, troubleshooting, and repair of the Galaxy Vector Controller.

2 Product Description

Overview The Galaxy Vector Controller is mounted on the inside front

door of a GPS plant with the user interface panel accessible from the front of the door. See Figure 2-1. In the Flexent Outdoor system, the controller is installed behind a swing-out control/ display panel. See Figure 2-2. Basic controller specifications are summarized in Table 2-A.

Batteryless Operation The Vector Controller is suitable for use in power plants with or

without batteries. In batteryless plants, the loss of ac power causes an immediate loss of dc power to the controller and the activation of all office alarm relays. When ac power is restored, plant rectifiers will return to their last specified voltage set point, and the controller will automatically return to its last configuration.

GCM2 or GCM3 Control Board

Figure 2-3 shows the Galaxy Vector Controller board. This board consists of an embedded microcontroller, A/D converters, timers, memory, and input/output alarm and control circuitry with connections to the terminal connection boards. There are two versions of the control board: GCM2 for +24V systems, and GCM3 for -48V systems. IC27 is the memory IC that contains the firmware which determines the controller operation, and the preset voltage and temperature thresholds for plant operation. Software is updated by replacing IC27. A simpler upgrade method is to replace the controller board. This avoids directly handling, and possibly causing damage to the memory IC. There are no hardware user-configurable items on the GCM boards.

Figure 2-4 shows a view of the 848597563 user interface control panel. This assembly interfaces with the BLJ3 or BTJ2/BTJ3 connection boards via a 26 pin ribbon attached to P2. The 848597563 provides a comprehensive user interface to the controller. It is used to view plant voltage and load, configure thresholds and other system parameters, view active alarms and to initiate system operations. This interface consists of a 4 line x 20 alphanumeric character LCD, a nine key keypad, and three status LEDs. A standard DB9 connector is available for local terminal access, or remote access using an optional BSM3 modem board. The modem board also provides isolation to the local terminal connection. Note: If the BSM3 is not connected

then the local port is referenced to the battery side of the power system. Some teminal connections are referenced to true ground. For these cases, a commercially available external port isolation device is required. The BSM4 may also be purchased to internally perform this isolation.

Three alarm status LEDs give a visual indication of system status. The Major and Minor alarm LEDs indicate when alarms are present, and then the actual alarm descriptions can be displayed on the LCD by pressing the Alarms softkey. LED indications are described in Table 2-C.
Table 2-C: Control Panel LEDs and Functions
LED Indication
MAJOR (red)
MINOR (amber)
OK (green)
A Major alarm is active. If the MAJOR LED is lit, MINOR and OK LEDs will not be lit.
A Minor alarm is active. If the MINOR LED is lit, there are no Major alarms active and the MAJOR and OK LEDs will not be lit.
No alarms are active. If the OK LED is lit, MAJOR and MINOR LEDs will not be lit.
The default screen displays system voltage and current, system mode (FLOAT or BOOST and other system conditions), and any active alarms. The display will return to the default screen from any menu whenever there has been no user initiated activity for three minutes.
All power system attributes are characterized into three main categories by the Vector Controller:
•Status
• Operations
• Configuration
as shown in Figure 2-5. Under Configuration are all of the system parameters that can be edited.
Configuration edit screens have values and settings that can be customized. There are two types of edit screens, numeric and scroll lists. Numeric edit screens are those on which you modify numbers by changing the individual digits in the number. An example is the Float Set Point screen. Scroll list edit screens are modified by pressing the UP and DOWN buttons to scroll through a list of possible settings. These lists may include numeric values or text. Selecting a Shunt Type is an example of a scroll list edit.

Office alarm relay outputs: All alarm output relays are isolated Form C or transfer type contacts, consisting of normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) contacts, with a common return (RTN) contact. The de-energized state of these relays is the alarm state. An alarm condition results in a closure of the normally closed contact to the return contact, and an open between the normally open and return contacts. Individual relay pin descriptions are shown in Table 2-G.

BAT: Connection to the battery discharge bus for controller power, and fused through F2 (1 1/3A). It is +24V for the GCM2, and -48V for the GCM3.
ABS: Auxiliary Battery Supply: connection to the battery discharge bus for user application (four terminals available), and fused through F1 (2A).
DG: Connection to battery return (discharge ground) bus. DG (five terminals available) provides the return for BAT (controller power), and ABS user applications if required.
Battery shunt inputs: The GCM recognizes two of the four available shunt inputs on the BLJ board. Shunt inputs are 50mv full scale. The BLJ3 requires 100K 1% resistors in series
with the shunt. See Table 2-H.

Note: When no shunt is available to connect to Shunt 2 inputs, the Shunt 2 inputs must be jumpered together. When both shunts are used, they must both be configured as “Load” or “Battery” shunts. They cannot be mixed.

J12: This jumper is factory set, and determines the controller ground (CG) reference. The controller ground reference is set according to the location of the plant shunts being monitored. If the shunts are located in the Battery side of the DC bus then J12 should be set to position 1-2. If the shunts are located in the Discharge Ground (DG) side of the DC bus then J12 should be set to position 2-3. For +24V and -48V GPS, J12 should be set to position 1-2.

Thermal probe connections: Four thermistor or 210E module inputs. Each thermistor is connected to the RTH#+ and RTN#, where # = 1 through 4. A strap is required across RTH#+ and EN#+ for each thermistor input used. The strap is not required when using 210E modules. For the indoor system, the thermal probe and cable are factory installed.
RTH ALM, RTH ALMR: Thermistor alarm input and return from 210E module. See Section 4 for 210E module connections.
CG: Controller Ground is the GCM reference ground, and should be connected to the bus on which shunt(s) are mounted. This pin should be used to reference the 210E ground to the Vector Controller ground.

1. Setting both SW1.2 and SW1.5 to "1" will result in activating the HV alarm cont act.
2. SW1.2 setting will only be read by the software when the GCM is powered up.
3. HV alarm contacts used for 2ACF alarm instead of HV alarm.
