ENERAL DESCRIPTION

The UB20.241 uninterruptible power supply controller (DC-UPS) is used in addition with a 24V power supply and batteries to bridge power failures or voltage fluctuations. This configuration can prevent expensive downtimes, long restart cycles and loss of data.

A unique feature of the UB20 series is the constant voltage in battery mode, which will not change as the batteries discharge. The buffer voltage in battery mode can be set to four different output values. Another feature is the utilization of two independent battery chargers for the two 12V-batteries in series. This feature makes matching batteries unnecessary and allows for precise battery charging, testing and optimized usage of the battery capacity to achieve the longest battery service life.

The UB20.241 includes many battery diagnostic functions that ensure a reliable operation of the entire system. Furthermore, a temperature controlled charging extends the life of the batteries. It also includes a selectable buffer time limiter as well as ready, buffering and replace battery contacts. For safety and maintenance, an inhibit input signal is included which prevents a battery backup.

ERMINOLOGY AND ABBREVIATIONS

DC-UPS Abbreviation for Uninterruptible Power Supply system with a DC input and a DC output.

A DC-UPS utilizes batteries as back-up energy source.

Power supply mode Describes a condition where the input voltage is in the rated input voltage range and the

supplying power supply can deliver a sufficient amount of current for the DC-UPS and the load. Additionally it is assumed that the output is loaded within the allowed limits and the battery is charged, if necessary. The mode can also be called “Normal mode”.

Battery mode Describes a condition where the input voltage is below the transfer threshold level, the unit

is running on batteries (buffering) and the output is loaded within the allowed limits. The mode can also be called “Buffer mode”.

Normal mode see “Power supply mode”

Buffer mode see “Battery mode”

Inhibit mode Describes a condition where buffering is disabled on purpose (e.g. for service actions).

T.b.d. To be defined, value or description will follow later.

NPUT / OUTPUT

The output is connected to the input through a back-fed protection (MOSFET). In power supply mode, the output voltage follows the input voltage decreased by a small voltage loss. In battery mode, the output voltage is a constant voltage, which can be preselected in one of four voltages.

Input Voltage Range: At voltages within the input voltage range, control functions such as LEDs, monitoring features, relay contacts, etc. are functioning normally. Within the input voltage range the unit can either be in power supply mode or in battery mode.

Normal Operating Voltage Ranges (four ranges):

The normal operating voltage range describes the input voltage, which supports the full functionality of the DC-UPS (including charging) but without entering the battery mode. It requires a minimum of 1V higher than the buffer voltage settings and a maximum voltage of not more than 30Vdc.

Buffering and Buffer Voltage:

Buffering will start immediately without interruption after the input voltage falls below the lower end of the normal operating voltage range. Buffering is possible even if the batteries are not fully charged. Buffering can not be started without having previously entered the normal operating voltage range. The buffer voltage is the output voltage determined by “the buffer voltage setting” and will not change as the batteries discharge. The buffer voltage is pre-selectable in one of four voltages.

PLUS

Mode:

In battery mode, the DC-UPS can deliver 50% more output current for a period of up to 4s before it reduces the output current automatically to the nominal output current. If the current requirement is continuously higher than the nominal current, the current regulation of the DC-UPS reduces the output voltage. As soon as the output voltage falls below 18V, the output switches off and makes a restart attempt every 17s. This cycle is repeated as long as the overload exists.

The DC-UPS is designed to support loads with a higher short-term power requirement without damage or shutdown. In battery mode, the short-term duration is hardware controlled by an output power manager. At 150% output current, it is typically 4s and longer for lower currents. Once the BonusPower® time is exceeded, the maximum output current is automatically reduced to the nominal output current or the DC-UPS goes into the Hiccup

ATTERIES AND BATTERY CHARGING

The battery is not included in the DC-UPS. Use one of the PULS 24V battery modules (see chapter 22.4 and 22.5). In addition to the PULS battery modules, the UB20.241 is also designed to be compatible with a large variety of different VRLA (Valve Regulated Lead Acid) or SLA (Sealed Lead Acid) batteries from various suppliers.

The battery is one of the most important parts of a DC-UPS system, which needs to be carefully selected while also paying close attention to storage, charging and environmental conditions. Select the proper size (capacity) according to the required buffer time (see chapter 6) and the lifetime requirements (see chapter 23.1).

Batteries are service parts and need to be replaced periodically or when the internal battery tests of the DC-UPS reports a random failure. Information regarding the DC-UPS battery tests and the replacement requirements can be found in chapter 23.1.

The wiring from the battery to the DC-UPS must follow the instructions in chapter 3. Be aware that the current from the battery to the DC-UPS can be higher than the load current due to the buffer voltage transformation, which restores the battery voltage to a constant buffer voltage.

The UB20.241 has a battery size selector included, which allows an optimal use of small and large battery sizes. It is not recommended to connect multiple batteries or battery modules in parallel. Chose larger sized battery instead.

Charging:

The UB20 comprises a constant current / constant voltage (CC-CV) charging method. When the center-tap connection is installed, both 12V batteries are charged individually with their own charger. The

center-tap connection is optional and if not installed, both batteries will be charged with one common charging voltage. The UB20 automatically recognizes if the center-tap connection is present or not.

When charging is approximately 85% completed, the individual green “Ready” LED for the specific battery stops flashing and is on solid.

During charging, the DC-UPS consumes additional current from the input. The supplying power supply must be able to deliver the additional required internal current consumption (including the charging current) specified as input current in the table of chapter 4.

When the temperature sensor is installed, the end-of-charge-voltage is temperature compensated. The UB20 automatically recognizes if a temperature sensor is connected or not. In case no temperature sensor is installed, the end-of-charge-voltage is fixed to a value which corresponds to a battery temperature of 40°C.

Use a PT1000 temperature sensor or the PULS UZK24 battery modules, which have this sensor already included. A list of suitable PT1000 temperature sensors from different vendors can be provided.

1) The end-of-charge voltage depends on the battery temperature. At 20°C the end-of-charge voltage is set to 13.6V (rsp. 27.2V) and changes with -18mV/°C for 12V batteries and -36mV/°C for 24V batteries but not higher than 14.2V rsp. 28.4V.

2) Corresponds to the temperature readings of the external temperature sensor of the battery and is not the surrounding air temperature of the DC-UPS. Frequent charging below +5°C (41°F) reduced the lifetime of the battery and should be avoided. Low temperatures increase the battery impedance and also change the battery characteristics. This could result in a false “replace battery” signal or a une

xpected interruption of a buffer event, especially with small batteries. To avoid this, the temperature range for charging is limited at low temperatures depending on the battery size. If the end application requires temperatures below +5°C, it is recommended to use batteries >10Ah.

3) Below this voltage level, charging does not start and the DC-UPS reports “check wiring”.

4) The listed charging time applies for a complete discharged battery until the DC-UPS indicated “Ready” with the green status LED. In practice, the charging time can be much shorter, since the battery is usually not completely discharged. A very long charging time is m

ikely caused by a defective or old battery.

5) Batteries smaller than 6Ah are only recommended when the load current is below 10A.

UFFER TIME

The buffer time (sometimes also called autonomy time) is the maximum period of time for which the battery can maintain the required output current. The buffer time mainly depends on the capacity and quality of the battery and the output current in battery mode.

The following times are typical values for a new product and the aging effect during operation is not included. Pay attention:

- The following buffer times apply for a battery temperature between 20°C and 30°C and a buffer voltage setting of

22.5V. At higher voltages, the buffer time is correspondingly shorter. Furthermore, with a wire length of 2x1m (equal 1m cord length) and a cross section of 4mm

- Due to long-term aging effects of batteries consider a buffer time reduction of 30-50% over time.

- The shown buffer times only apply for PULS battery modules or from PULS recommended batteries.

- The buffer time is defined for a fully charged battery. The buffer time can be 10-20% shorter for buffer events,

which start immediately after the “Ready” signal becomes active.

*) The calculated lifetime expectancy shown in the table indicates the minimum operating hours (service life) and is determined by the

lifetime expectancy of the built-in electrolytic capacitors. Lifetime expectancy is specified in operational hours and is calculated according to the capacitor’s manufacturer specification. The manufacturer of the electrolytic capacitors only guarantees a maximum life of up to 15 years (131 400h). Any number exceeding this value is a calculated theoretical lifetime which can be used to compare devices.

**) MTBF stands for Mean Time Between Failure, which is calculated according to statistical device failures, and indicates reliability of a

device. It is the statistical representation of the likelihood of a unit to fail and does not necessarily represent the life of a product. The MTBF figure is a statistical representation of the likelihood of a device to fail. A MTBF figure of e.g. 1 000 000h means that statistically one unit will fail every 100 hours if 10 000 units are installed in the field. However, it can not be determined if the failed unit has been running for 50 000h or only for 100h.

24V, 20A, DC-UPS

Each battery has its own status LED. The signals are the same for both batteries.

Ready: The LEDs are on solid when the battery is charged (> 85%), no wiring failure is recognized, input voltage is sufficient. After the unit is turned-on with charged batteries, it can take 20s or longer that the signal switches from charging to ready.

Charging: The LEDs are flashing with a low frequency when the batteries are charging and the state-of-charge is below 85%.

Buffering: The LEDs are flashing with a high frequency when the unit is in battery mode.

This LED helps troubleshooting. Overload:

The LED is on solid when the output current is permanently above 20A in battery mode or 25A in power supply mode.

Replace Battery: The LED is flashing with a low frequency when one battery has failed the periodically performed battery quality test. In case the center-tap connection is present, the battery that has failed is indicated by the green LED which is off. Otherwise, both LEDs are off. The battery should be replaced as soon as possible.

Buffertime expired: The LED is double flashing when the output has switched off due to the setting of the buffer-time limiter or discharged battery. This signal will be displayed for 15 minutes after the output has switched off.

Inhibit active: The LED is flashing with a high frequency when buffering is disabled due to an active inhibit signal.

ig. 14-4

Flashing pattern for red “Error LED”

This LED indicates that charging or buffering is not possible.

Check Wiring: The LED is on solid when a failure in the wiring, battery or battery fuse is identified.

Input Voltage: A single flash indicates that the input voltage is >30V or the input voltage is too low for the adjusted buffer voltage. The input voltage must be at least 1V higher than the selected buffer voltage.

Temperature: A double flash indicates that the temperature of the DCUPS is too high (> 70°C) or that the temperature of the battery is too high (> 50°C) or too low (< -10°C in setting <10Ah). Battery temperatures indications require a connected battery temperature sensor.

PPLICATION NOTES

23.1. BATTERY REPLACEMENT INTERVALS

There are two main causes for battery failures and the need for replacing them:

- Random failures:

Within the defined service life of a battery, random battery failures can happen. E.g. short circuit in one cell, broken cell connection, acid pollution, mechanical defects, … . Such failures occur randomly and cannot be predicted. The UB20 has various battery test features included, which periodically test both batteries individually and report such failures. These battery tests include:

- Battery presence test, performed every 10s

- Battery dynamic impedance test, performed every 4hours

- Charging time period (max. 40h in <10Ah settings and max. 170h in >10Ah settings) Battery tests start as soon as the batteries are fully charged (the green status LED must be on solid). Battery dynamic impedance tests need to fail several times in a row before “replace battery” is reported. This can take up to 14 additional hours after the batteries are fully charged.

- Wear-out failures:

The electrical characteristics of batteries degrade slowly over time. Main causes are chemical effects, which can be calculated. Therefore, battery manufacturers specify the design life of batteries to be able to calculate the expected service time. The degradation of a battery cannot be easily tested on a running system. Therefore in addition to the results from the battery tests of the UB20.241 (random failures), a periodical replacement is strictly recommended.

Service and design life of a battery:

Batteries have a limited service life and need to be replaced periodically. The service life depends on the grade of the battery, which is expressed in the design life. The design life figures can be found in the individual datasheets of the batteries and is usually specified according to the Eurobat guideline.

The design life is the estimated life, based on laboratory condition, and is quoted at 20°C using the manufacturer’s recommended float voltage condition. According to the Eurobat guideline, design lives have been structured into the following different groups:

3 - 5 years: This group of batteries is very popular in standby applications and in small emergency equipment.

This represents a 4 years design life with a production tolerance of ±1 year.

6 - 9 years: This group of batteries is usually used when an improved life is required.

This represents a 7.5 years design life with a production tolerance of ±1.5 years.

10 - 12 years: This group of batteries is used when in applications where longest life and highest safety level are

required. This represents a 11 years design life with a production tolerance of ±1 year.

If the operational parameters differ from those which are specified for the design life, an earlier replacement of the battery might be necessary. The “real life” is called service life and is defined as the point at which the cell’s actual capacity has reached 80% of its nominal capacity. At the end of the service life the capacity degrades much faster, so that a further use of the battery is not recommended.

The degradation of a battery begins with the production date and not with the time when usage starts.

Effects, which shortens the service life of the battery and requires an earlier battery replacement:

- Temperature:

The temperature has the biggest impact in the service life. The higher the temperature, the earlier the wear-out phase of the battery begins. The wear-out results in a degradation of battery capacity. See Fig. 23-1 for details.

- Number of discharging cycles:

The number as well as the depth of discharging cycles is limited. A replacement of the battery might be necessary earlier than the calculated service life if the battery exceeds the numbers and values of Fig. 23-2.

- Overcharging and deep discharging:

Overcharging and deep discharging shortens the service life and should be avoided. Due to the two individual

battery chargers and the temperature tracking feature of the UB20.241, the end-of-charge-voltage can be set very precisely to the required value and thereby avoiding unnecessary aging effects.

- Discharged batteries:

Charge retention is important to get the longest battery life. Stored batteries which are not fully charged age faster then charged batteries. Batteries which are not in use should be recharged at least once a year.

- High ripple voltage:

Excessive float charge ripple across the battery has an effect of reducing life and performance. The UB20.241 does not produce such a ripple voltage. This effect can be ignored when the battery is charged with the UB20.241.

Recommendations for achieving a long battery service life:

- Place the batteries in a cool location: E.g. near the bottom of the control cabinet.

- Do not place the batteries near heat generating devices.

- Do not store discharged batteries.

- Do not discharge the batteries more than necessary. Set buffer time limiter to the required buffer time.

- When choosing the batteries capacity, always try to get the next higher capacity than required. The depth of

discharge reduces the service life of the batteries and limits the number of cycles. See Fig. 23-2.

temperatures, typ *)

Fig. 23-2 Battery capacity degradation vs.

discharging cycles *)

*) Datasheet figures provided by the battery manufacturer

How to determine the replacement intervals:

Example:

- Two 26Ah batteries with a design life of 10-12 years are used

- The average ambient temperature is 30°C

- One buffer event consumes approx. 25% of the achievable buffer time.

- One buffer event every two days (=182 cycles / year) Calculation:

A) Ambient temperature influence:

B) Number of discharging cycles: 5 years * 182 cycles = 910cycles in 5 years.

Result: The battery shall be replaced after 5 years.

Please note that the battery degrading begins from the production date (check date code on the battery) which may shorten the replacement intervals.

Aug. 2019 / Rev. 2.2 DS-UB20.241-EN All parameters are specified at 24V, 20A output current, 25°C ambient and after a 5 minutes run-in time unless otherwise noted.

According to Fig. 23-1 curve C, a 5 years service life can be expected for an ambient temperature of 30°C.

According to Fig. 23-2, curve C has to be used (only 25% of battery capacity is required). 910 cycles have only a negligible influence in a battery degradation and can be ignored.

23.2. EXTERNAL INPUT PROTECTION

The DC-UPS is tested and approved for branch circuits up to 28A. An external protection is only required, if the supplying branch has an ampacity greater than this. If an external fuse is necessary or utilized, minimum requirements need to be considered to avoid nuisance tripping of the circuit breaker. A minimum value of 25A B- or C-Characteristic breaker should be used.

Check also local codes and local requirements. In some countries local regulations might apply.

23.3. OUTPUT CIRCUIT BREAKERS

Some applications require branch circuit or branch circuit conductor protection on the 24V supply voltage. Therefore standard miniature circuit breakers (MCB’s or UL 1077 circuit breakers) are commonly used on 24V branches.

MCB’s are designed to protect wires and circuits. If the ampere value and the characteristics of the MCB are adapted to the wire size that is used, the wiring is considered as thermally safe regardless of whether the MCB opens or not.

To avoid voltage dips and under-voltage situations in adjacent 24V branches which are supplied by the same source, a fast (magnetic) tripping of the MCB is desired. A quick shutdown within 10ms is necessary corresponding roughly to the ride-through time of PLC's. This requires high peak currents to open the circuit breaker in the required time. Furthermore, the impedance of the faulty branch must be sufficiently small in order for the current to actually flow.

For this discipline, two cases must be differentiated: A) DC-UPS is operating in power supply mode:

In this case, the supplying source is responsible for the peak current to trip circuit breakers. These values can be found in the datasheet of the power supply.

B) DC-UPS is operating in battery mode:

The following table has typical test results showing which B- and C-Characteristic MCBs magnetically trip depending on the wire cross section and wire length (setting for buffer voltage: 22.5V).

23.4. BACK-FEEDING LOADS

Loads such as decelerating motors and inductors can feed voltage back to the DC-UPS. This feature is also called return voltage immunity or resistance against Back- E.M.F. (Electro Magnetic Force).

This DC-UPS is resistant and does not show malfunctioning when a load feeds back voltage to the power supply. It does not matter whether the DC-UPS is on or off.

The maximum allowed fed-back-voltage is 35Vdc.

Two DC-UPSs with two individual power supplies, two battery modules and one decoupling module can be used to build a system with higher output current.

23.6. PARALLEL USE FOR REDUNDANCY

Use the same schematic as for parallel use for higher output current Fig. 23-4 and follow additional the following recommendations:

a) Use separate input fuses for each power supply. b) Set the power supply into “Parallel use” mode if available. c) Use a redundancy module to decouple the two power sources. d) Monitor the individual sources. Therefore, use the alarm contacts of the power supplies. e) It is desirable to set the output voltages of all power supplies to the same value (± 100mV) or leave it at the

factory setting.

23.7. SERIES USE FOR 48V APPLICATIONS

A series connection for 48V applications is allowed when utilizing two individual power supplies, two DC-UPSs and two battery modules.

Fig. 23-5 Wiring example for 48V serial use

23.8. USING THE INHIBIT-INPUT

The inhibit input is a feature to disable the battery mode on purpose. This can be the case when buffering should actively be stopped in order to save battery capacity (e.g. when machines are not in use for a long period of time) and to have shorter recharging times or in case of a service event, where the application must be turned off.

Buffering can be inhibited or stopped:

- When a static voltage is applied to the inhibit input terminals, there will be no buffering after the input voltage is switched off.

- When, during the battery mode, a short voltage pulse with a minimum length of 250ms is applied to the inhibit input terminals, the output will switch off and stay off until the input voltage recovers.

Batteries will be charged when the inhibit mode is activated or a voltage is applied to the inhibit input terminals. Electrical details of the inhibit input are specified in the chapters 9 and 19.

23.9. TROUBLESHOOTING

The following guidelines provide instructions for fixing the most common failures and problems. Always start with the most likely and easiest to check condition. Some of the suggestions may require special safety precautions. See notes in section 3 first.

Explanation / Action:

“Error” LED - Check input voltage.

The input voltage must be at least 1V higher than the selected buffer voltage and smaller than 30V.

Error” LED is solid on - Check correct wiring between the battery and the DC-UPS

- Check battery fuse. Is the battery fuse inserted or blown?

- Check battery voltage (must be between 14.8V and 30V)

- Check battery polarity

-UPS did not buffer - Inhibit input was set.

- Battery did not have enough time to get charged and the battery voltage is still below the deep-discharge protection level.

-UPS stopped buffering - Deep discharge protection stopped buffering. Use a larger battery, or allow sufficient time for charging the battery.

- End of service life of the battery

- Battery did not have enough time to be charged.

- Inhibit input was activated

- Buffer time limiter stopped buffering. Change the settings of the buffer time limiter on the front of the unit.

- At too high temperatures

-UPS stopped buffering for 1s - Center-tap connection opens in buffer mode

- Center-tap connection problems

-UPS constantly switches between and battery mode

- The supplying source on the input is too small and can not deliver sufficient current. Use a larger power supply or reduce the output load.

- The output voltage of the power supply dips to a too low value. The input voltage must always be at least 1V higher than the selected buffer voltage and smaller than 30V. Increase the output voltage of the power supply

- Too high voltage drops on wires. Increase the output voltage of the power supply or increase the wires cross section from the power supply to the DC-UPS.
