Introduction
Description of the Capacitor Bank Controller
The capacitor bank controller is intended for standard, fixed-function capacitor
banks. The controller consists of standard, off-the-shelf, Allen-Bradley hardware
with the application ladder code necessary to perform power factor correction.
The controller is designed to provide the same base functionality as a fixedfunction capacitor bank controller.
The capacitor bank controller is a pre-engineered control system containing a
MicroLogix 1400 controller, one or more PowerMonitor 1000 modules, and an
optional human-machine interface (HMI). Pre-engineered ladder logic code in
the controller gathers real and reactive power data from up to four power feeds
(utility feeds and/or generators). The logic operates on the data in standard
engineering units of kVAR and kW and minimizes imported and exported
reactive power by switching up to 10 steps of capacitance. This strategy controls
power factor while reducing the likelihood of voltage surge caused by excessive
kVAR expor t.
Functions
• Auto configure
• Manual configure
• Discharge timer on each step
• Selectable operating modes
– Manual operation
– First In, Last Out (FILO)
– Balanced, level-out usage of capacitor steps
– Best fit, finds best match of capacitor step to system kVAR needs

Chapter 2 Installation
Mount the Controller
Most applications require installation in an industrial enclosure to reduce the
effects of electrical interference and environmental exposure. Locate your
controller as far as possible from power lines, load lines, and other sources of
electrical noise such as hard-contact switches, relays, and AC motor drives. For
more information on proper grounding guidelines, see the Industrial Automation
Wiring and Grounding Guidelines, publication 1770-4.1
ATTENTION: Mount the controller horizontally only. Vertical mounting is
not supported due to thermal considerations.
ATTENTION: Be careful of metal chips when drilling mounting holes for
your controller or other equipment within the enclosure or panel. Drilled
fragments that fall into the controller could cause damage. Do not drill
holes above a mounted controller if the protective debris strips have been
removed.
.
WARNING: Do not place the MicroLogix 1400 Programmable Controller
in direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight could degrade the
LCD display.
WARNING: The local programming terminal port is intended for
temporary use only and must not be connected or disconnected unless the
area is assured to be nonhazardous.

Mount the PanelView Component C600 Terminal
PanelView Component C600 terminals install easily in a panel without any tools
or hardware. The terminals have panel clamps that automatically latch when the
terminal is pushed into the panel opening.
ATTENTION:
• Disconnect all electrical power from the panel before making the panel
cutout.
• Make sure the area around the panel cutout is clear.
• Take precautions so metal cuttings do not enter any components already
installed in the panel.
• Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury or damage to
panel components.
Follow these steps to mount the terminal in a panel.
1. Cut an opening in the panel by using the template shipped with the
terminal.
2. Make sure the sealing gasket is properly positioned on the terminal.
This gasket forms a compression type seal. Do not use sealing compounds.
3. Place the terminal in the panel cutout.
The terminal temperature must be greater than 0 °C (32 °F) during panel
installation.
4. Push the terminal firmly into the cutout on all sides and corners until the
plastic bezel contacts the enclosure and the gasket is fully compressed.
You will hear a series of clicks as the clamps self-adjust to the panel
thickness.
Do not push on the display when pushing the terminal into the panel or

Overview
The capacitor bank controller base unit has been set up to require minimal outof-box configuration.
The base system has default communication settings. Certain circumstances and
options require additional communication configuration, which may include the
use of programming software not included with the controller.
You are required to configure the PowerMonitor 1000 meters to coordinate them
to the power circuit in the base unit and all options. Configuration of the
PowerMonitor 1000 meter is performed by using the display on the meter.
The MicroLogix 1400 controller requires configuration to coordinate it to the
number and size of steps that exist in the capacitor bank being controlled, as well
as the desired operating mode and other selections. Use the built-in LCD
interface on the MicroLogix 1400 controller or the optional PanelView
Component C600 terminal to configure the controller.
ATTENTION: Do not operate the capacitor bank controller without first
configuring it to suit the controlled capacitor bank and system options.
Unpredictable operation, including undesirable power system effects,
may result.
The capacitor bank controller is compatible with the PanelView
Component C600 terminal firmware revision 1.3 or later.

This screen shows the Operating mode. Verify your
steps are configured properly before making Operating
mode selections:
• Manual (mode = 0) – This mode disables all
automatic operating modes. Manual mode is the
default configuration. All capacitor steps have a
default configuration of auto.
• FILO (mode = 1) – This mode of operation
switches the capacitor steps on and off in first-in,
last-out (FILO) order. That is, the first step on is
the last step turned off. This is most useful when
all the capacitor steps are of similar size.
• Balanced (mode = 2) – This mode counts the
number of opening operations on each capacitor
step and switch-capacitor steps to balance the
number of opening operations equally across all
of the employed capacitor steps. This mode is also
most useful when all of the steps are of similar
size.
• Best Fit (mode = 3) – This mode selects capacitor
steps to be switched on and off to most closely
achieve the target power factor and kVAR needs
of the system. When the system’s kVAR needs to
increase, the available step or steps with the
closest (aggregated) kVAR rating is added. On
decreasing kVAR demand, steps are switched off
in similar fashion.

Introduction
The capacitor bank controller gathers real- and reactive-power data by using one
or more PowerMonitor meters. The processor manipulates data in engineering
units of kVAR and kW. The unit does not directly control power factor, but
rather works to actively minimize imported and exported kVAR. The net result
of this philosophy indirectly controls power factor and minimizes voltage
excursions associated with excessive kVAR export.
The capacitor bank controller can accommodate up to four different utility feeds
and/or generators. Each feed requires an individual PowerMonitor 1000 meter.
The unit sums the kW and kVAR readings from each of the PowerMonitor 1000
meters to arrive at an aggregate kVAR so that a single capacitor bank could be
used to compensate several feeds simultaneously.
The traditional C/k ratio is not required for the capacitor bank controller
because we are working in engineering units within the processor.
Aggregate Power Factor is calculated and displayed by using this formula:
The PowerMonitor 1000 meter data is gathered over Ethernet by using the
MicroLogix 1400 controller.
Operating Modes
Each capacitor step can be individually selected to on, off, or auto status. The
capacitor discharge-timer interlock is in effect in Manual mode to prevent
capacitor bank damage. In Auto mode, a step is available to any of the automatic
sequences described below. In the On or Off mode, a step is unavailable to any
automatic operating mode:
• Manual (mode = 0) – This mode disables all automatic operating modes.
Manual mode is the default configuration. All capacitor steps have a
default configuration of auto.
• FILO (mode = 1) – This mode of operation switches the capacitor steps
on and off in first-in, last-out (FILO) order. That is, the first step on is the
last step turned off. This is most useful when all the capacitor steps are of
similar sized.
Rockwell Automation Publication 1413-UM001D-EN-P - November 2010 55
Page 56
Chapter 4 Operation
• Balanced (mode = 2) – This mode counts the number of opening
operations on each capacitor step and switch-capacitor steps to balance the
number of opening operations equally across all of the employed capacitor
steps. This mode is also most useful when all of the steps are of similar size.
• Best Fit (mode = 3) – This mode selects capacitor steps to be switched on
and off to most closely achieve the target power factor and kVAR needs of
the system. When the system’s kVAR needs increase, the available step or
steps with the closest (aggregated) kVAR rating is added. On decreasing
kVAR demand, steps are switched off in similar fashion.
Fault Relay Operation
Fault-protection relays can be used to immediately discharge all or specific
capacitor steps during a fault occurrence. Input 0 is wired to a normally closed
fault-protection relay and discharges all capacitor steps during a fault occurrence
(low-state condition). Inputs 1… 10 are wired to normally closed fault-protection
relays, and discharges its respective capacitor step during a fault occurrence (lowstate condition). If fault protection is not being used for a specific capacitor step,
then that respective input is wired closed by using the controller supplied
24V DC power.
A normally-open momentary pushbutton is wired to Input 11. This pushbutton
is used to reset the controller after a fault occurrence.
Output 0 is used as an alarm relay and is wired normally open to an external alarm
indicator. Outputs 1…10 are wired to normally-open contactors for each
respective capacitor step.

Input Interlock Mode
The Input Interlock mode allows fault protection for each capacitor step through
the use of fault-protection relays. Wire normally closed fault-protection relays to
each input from 0…10 of the controller. Wire a normally-open momentary
pushbutton to Input 11. This pushbutton serves as a reset button.
During a fault occurrence, the controller discharges and locks-out the respective
capacitor step associated with the fault relay that tripped. The fault-protection
relay wired to Input 0 discharges and locks-out all capacitor steps. The remaining
fault-protection relays discharge and lock-out their respective capacitor step (that
is, Input 1 discharges and locks-out capacitor step 1).
In order to place a capacitor step back into the sequence, a fault must not be
present for that step, and a reset must be initiated by pushing the Reset
pushbutton.

condition. The controller measures actual VAR output from a capacitor
step, averages, and compares this value with the original effective capacitor
value. When actual VAR is more than the user-configurable
StepKvarTolerance (default 5%) below the effective step size for a userconfigurable delay (default 30 seconds), the alarm is activated. The alarm is
reset when actual VAR output is greater than or equal to the setpoint for
the same delay. The step will be latched as tripped/offline if the VAR
output falls below 90% of nominal.
• Target power factor not achieved - If actual power is less than setpoint for
a user-adjustable number of seconds, then the alarm flag is set.
• PowerMonitor Communication Loss - If the MicroLogix controller loses
communication with the PowerMonitor meter, then the alarm flag is set.
• High and Low Voltage - If BusVolts is outside either limit, this alarm is
activated immediately. After the voltage returns to the proper range for a
configurable amount of time, this alarm is reset.
You can use the MicroLogix 1400 controller to edit and view Integer and Bit files.

Power-circuit Parameters
The capacitor bank controller reads power-circuit parameters from the
PowerMonitor meters and makes that data available in its data table for use by
other applications such as SCADA or HMI systems.
This table lists the PowerMonitor meter data available in the controller. The
symbol x indicates the PowerMonitor meter number. Addresses related to
PowerMonitor meter no. 1 begin with F11:0, addresses related to PowerMonitor
meter no. 2 begin with F12:0.

The following terms and abbreviations are used throughout this manual.
For definitions of terms not listed here, refer to the Allen-Bradley Industrial
Automation Glossary, publication AG-7.1
Bank An overall capacitor or tuned-filter assembly. This controller is designed to
manage and control one bank consisting of 10 steps.
Instance An instance of an object represents a complete iteration of an object and all of its
attributes and methods. For example, the vacuum switch describes a typical
vacuum switch. Each physical switch would result in one instance of a vacuum
switch object. Each instance of an object must be managed independently in the
software.
PM See PowerMonitor meter.
PowerMonitor meter The power measuring device located at the plant mains. There may be more than
one PowerMonitor meter in a system depending on the number of electrical feeds
into the plant.
Step A single switched circuit in a capacitor or filter bank. There are up to 10 steps in a
bank. Others in the industry may also refer to these as stages.
