DESCRIPTION:
The UPS is designed following the criteria of low environmental impact.
The quantity of the raw material used on the magnetic components and the
number of semiconductors is minimized by the means of very advanced design
criteria.
The high overall efficiency minimizes the power consumption.
The expected battery lifetime is maximized by the very advanced digital battery
charger.
The UPS is equipped by a built in very advanced self diagnostic program
indicating the problems and suggesting to the service people how to repair the
faults.
The inverter transformer prevents the direct feed-through of the battery potential
into the critical load and allows a very high rejection ratio of the power supply
disturbances (spikes, surges etc.).
The high input power factor and the low harmonic level of the input current allows
to reduce the dimensioning of the installation in terms of size of the cables and the
circuit breakers.
The high efficiency and input power factor reduces the costs during the normal
operation of the UPS.

Ups general description & installation

1. INTRODUCTION
Thank you for having chosen an BORRI product for the safety of your equipment. In
order to fully take advantage of the performance of your UPS B9000 (uninterruptible
power supply), we suggest that you dedicate some time to reading the following
manual.
The purpose of this manual is to briefly describe the parts that constitute the UPS
and to guide the installer or user to a correct installation of the equipment.
The installer or user should read and correctly carry-out the instructions provided,
with particular attention to the information regarding security, according to the CEI 64-8
and DPR 46-90 standards.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility of damages towards persons or
things due to the non-compliance of the above.

2. GENERAL UPS DESCRIPTION


2.1 TYPOLOGY
The B9000 UPS are double conversion on-line ; the inverter constantly supplies
energy to the load, whether mains is available or not (according to the battery
autonomy time).

WARNING
The UPS output is energized even during mains failure, therefore in compliance with
the prescriptions of EN50091-1 / EN62040-1, the installer will have to identify the line or
the plugs supplied by the UPS making the User aware of this fact.

This configuration guarantees the best service to the User, as it supplies clean
continuously regulated power and guarantees the voltage and frequency will be
stabilised at nominal value independently from mains status. Thanks to the double
conversion, it makes the load completely immune from micro-interruptions due to
excessive mains variation, and prevents damage to the critical load (Computer -
Instrumentation - Scientific equipment etc.).

Picture 1 – Block diagram

JUD408827 02/10/06 Rev. A 3


Ups general description & installation

2.2 DESCRIPTION OF THE SYSTEM

2.2.1 Rectifier
It converts the three phase voltage of the mains into continuous DC voltage.
The UPS has got a total-controlled IGBT three-phase bridge to reach a low harmonic
distortion.
This configuration is used in order to reduce the distortion of the mains’ absorbed
power (THD) to a value inferior to 5%. This guarantees, with respect to other loads, that
the rectifier does not distort the mains voltage and avoids the overheating of the cable
due to the circulation of the harmonic currents.
The rectifier is designed to supply the inverter at full load and the battery at the
maximum recharge current.

2.2.2 Inverter
Required to convert the continuous voltage coming from the rectifier or from the
battery, into alternating voltage, stabilized in amplitude and frequency.
The inverter uses IGBT technology with a frequency commutation of approximately
10 KHz.
The control electronics is completely digital and uses a 16 Bit µP, that, thanks to its
processing capability, generates an excellent output sine-wave, which has a very low
distortion even in presence of loads having high crest factor currents.

2.2.3 Battery and charger


The battery is located in an external cabinet.
The battery charger control logic is completely integrated inside the total-controlled
rectifier control board; the battery is charged, according to the DIN 41773 Standard,
every time it has been partially or completely discharged and it is kept floating, even
when it’s charged, to compensate for any autodischarge.

2.2.4 Static bypass


It’s designed to transfer the load between INVERTER and MAINS, and vice-versa,
without break, and uses SCR’s as power commutation elements.

2.2.5 Manual bypass


It‘s used to by-pass the UPS, supplying the load directly to the mains in case of
maintenance or serious failure.

WARNING
The sequence of bypass switching must be carried out with respect to the procedure
in the UPS Operating Manual in the chapter “Start-up, shut-down and manual bypass”.
The manufacturer cannot accept responsibility for damages arising from incorrect
operation.

3. INSTALLATION
3.1 RECEIPT OF UPS
When the UPS is received, please attend immediately to its unpacking and carry-out
an accurate visual check to be sure that the equipment has not been damaged during
transport.

IMPORTANT
In case of objections relating to damage incurred during transport these must be
immediately notified to the transportation company after receipt of the equipment.

When the UPS is not installed immediately it must be stored carefully in vertical
position, as indicated on the packing and conserved in a dry and sheltered room in its
box so that it is protected from dust.
3.2 HANDLING OF THE UPS
Before positioning the UPS, in order to avoid risks of turnover, it’s recommended to
move the system on the wood pallet on which the UPS is fixed.
Before the positioning in the final location, remove the UPS from the pallet.
The UPS can be lifted and handled using a pallet truck or a forklift; It can be handled
only after having taken-off (manually) the lower front panel, so that a pallet truck or a
forklift can be inserted (see picture 6). The UPS technical data are shown on a label
fixed on the internal side of the front door.

3.4 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION


The electrical connection is part of the work which is normally provided by the
supplier that carries out the electrical installation and not by the UPS manufacturer. For
this reason, the following recommendations are only an indication, as the UPS
manufacturer is not responsible for the electrical installation.
In any case we recommend to carry-out the installation and the electrical connections
of the input and output in compliance with the local standards.
During the electrical installation take particular care to check the phase rotation with
a suitable instrument.
The terminal boards are positioned at the front of the UPS, under the breakers. To
access the terminals remove the protection, extracting the fixing bolts.

WARNING
The connection to the mains must be carried out with protection fuses between the
mains and the UPS.
The use of residual current devices in the line supplying the UPS is
unadvisable. The leakage current due to the RFI filters is rather high and it can
cause spurious tripping of the protection device.
According to the EN50091-1 / EN62040-1 standard, in order to take into account the
UPS’ leakage current, residual current devices having adjustable threshold can be
used.

The connection cables section is shown in the following tables:

3.5 BATTERY POSITIONING AND CONNECTION


IMPORTANT
For battery installation please respect the prescriptions of the EN50091-1 / EN62040-
1 standard, paragraph 4.5.
To obtain the battery life indicated by the battery manufacturer, the operating
temperature must remain between 0 and 25 °C. However, although the battery can
operate up to 40 °C , there will be a significant reduction of the battery life.
To avoid the formation of any kind of potentially explosive hydrogen and oxygen
mixture, suitable ventilation must be provided where the battery are installed (see
EN50091-1 / EN62040-1 annex N).
The batteries are external for all the series, however, it is recommended to install
them when the UPS is capable of charging them. Please remember that, if the battery is
not charged for periods over 2-3 months they can be subject to irreparable damage.

3.5.1 Connections
The following picture shows the electrical connection between the UPS and the
external battery cabinet.

Picture 11 – Battery cabinet link


The connection cables are two power cables, with section that varies according to
the UPS size (see table at page 11) and with length ranging from 2 to 50 meters.
Longer cables are subject to excessive voltage drop, so their section must be
increased accordingly.

UPS Functioning Description

1 INTRODUCTION
The UPS of the B9000 product line are on-line, double conversion; the inverter supplies
always energy to the load, whether the mains is available or not (according to the battery
autonomy time).

WARNING
The UPS output is energized even during mains failure, therefore in compliance with the
prescriptions of EN 50091-1, the installer will have to identify the line or the plugs supplied by
the UPS making the User aware of this fact.

This configuration guarantees the best service to the User, as it supplies clean continuously
regulated power and guarantees the voltage and frequency will be stabilised at nominal value
independently from mains status. Thanks to the double conversion, it makes the load
completely immune from micro-interruptions due to excessive mains variation, and prevents
damage to the critical load (Computer - Instrumentation - Scientific equipment etc.).

Picture 1 – UPS block diagram


The UPS is composed by three main sections: rectifier (R), inverter (I), static switch (SS).
These sections will be described in the following chapters.
The final chapter includes the description of the various electronic boards installed inside the
UPS as well as their block diagrams and programming instructions.

1.1 OPERATING STATUS


Final task of a UPS system is to protect the load from micro-interruptions, black-outs and
various disturbances on the network, and guarantee a reliable supply also when internal faults
occur. During normal operation the rectifier keeps the batteries in floating charge and provide
energy for the inverter to supply the load through the static switch.

UPS Functioning Description

In case of an inverter failure or an overload the load is automatically transferred, without


interruption, to the by-pass static switch.

Picture 3 – Load supplied by by-pass


The inverter is the primary supply source, so when its voltage and frequency are in tolerance
it synchronises with the by-pass line and the load is transferred again through the static switch.
In case of mains failure (or rectifier failure) the inverter draws energy from the battery for the
specified autonomy time, after which the inverter is turned off.

Picture 4 – Rectifier failure or mains failure


For maintenance operations it’s possible to supply the load through the manual by-pass
circuit breaker MBCB, connecting directly the by-pass line to the UPS output. During the manual
by-pass procedure the load remains supplied, without any interruptions.

2 RECTIFIER
The three-phase mains is connected to the input terminals 1-L1, 1-L2, 1-L3, directly under
the input switch RCB. The filter RF1 provides to reduce the radio frequency disturbances
according to the limits given by the EN50091-2 standard.
The input AC capacitors Cac1÷Cac3 limits the high-frequency harmonics generated during
the commutation of the rectifier bridge smoothing the waveform of the input voltage.
The thyristors PS7÷PS9 are used to pre-charge the DC capacitors and rectify the AC mains;
they also work as de-coupling elements and avoid that high reverse voltages are applied to the
IGBTs. The booster bridge is made by the IGBT modules PS1÷PS6. Each module contains two
components, one of which is used as a diode by short-circuiting the Gate with the Emitter. The
input high-frequency chokes are the elements that store and release energy during the bridge
commutation thus providing the DC voltage to increase (step-up or booster operation).
When powering up the unit, the electronic board INT-R is supplied; it provides the DC
supplies to the microprocessor control board (D-CPU-RC) as well as the synchronisation signals
for the generation of the control pulses of the thyristors. These control signals are then
managed by the board INT-R2 (mounted directly on the INT-R) and sent to the thyristors
through the board RTF (final stage).
The voltage feedback (positive and negative, with reference to the central point of the
capacitors) is taken directly on the rectifier output, across the DC capacitors. By comparing the
voltage feedback value with a programmed set-point the microprocessor provides to regulate
the turn-on time of the IGBTs by modifying the PWM, thus maintaining the DC output voltage
within the specified range (+/-1%).
The measures of the input current across the three phases is provided by the current
transducers TA1÷TA3.
The rectifier provides the energy necessary to the inverter to work at full load and keeps the
battery in floating charge to compensate the self discharging. In case of mains failure the
inverter draws energy from the battery for the specified autonomy time. When the batteries
needs to be recharged the microprocessor board provides to limit the recharging current by
comparing an programmable threshold with the feedback signal generated by the current
transducer TA4.

3 INVERTER
The inverter is composed by six power blocks, controlled by the IGBT driver boards
DR1÷DR6. The inverter bridge is connected to the transformer T1, which provides the galvanic
insulation between the DC bus and the AC output. The transformer is provided with a leakage
inductance that forms a low-pass filter with the output capacitors Cr-Cs-Ct; the filter provides to
eliminate the high frequency harmonics from the output waveforms in order to reduce the
distortion of the sine-waves.
The inverter supplies the load through the inverter static switch thyristors, which are
connected to the output switch OCB. The current transformers TAR-TAS-TAT provide the
signals for the output current measures.
When the inverter is started up the microprocessor control logic I/S-CL generates the IGBT’s
control signals (PWM – Pulse Width Modulation) and send them to the driver boards DR1÷DR6;
the bridge starts to modulate and the output voltage increases. The voltage feedback provided
by the INV-AV-3F board is used to control the output voltages value, according to the value set
on the three VCB boards (mounted on the I/S-CL).
The inverter current protection (Max Current Stop) and the short circuit current limitation are
also managed by the I/S-CL, using the feedback signal provided by the hall-effect current
transducer TA1, which is mounted on the inverter bridge input.

4 STATIC SWITCH
The three-phase emergency line is connected to the terminals 2-L1, 2-L2, 2-L3, 2-N.
The by-pass line is energized by closing the input switch SBCB; the fuses F4-F5-F6 protects
the static switch thyristors in case of short-circuit at the UPS output.
The static by-pass switch is controlled by the SCB board, mounted on the microprocessor
control logic I/S-CL; the control signals for the thyristors are generated by the I/S-CL and sent to
the firing board 2-SCRFIR, connected directly to the gate of the thyristors.
The VOLT-REF-3F board provides the feedback signals for the by-pass and output voltage
measures.
The UPS automatically transfers the load to the by-pass line in case of an inverter failure or
overload. The manual by-pass switch MBCB connects directly the emergency line input to the
load in case of UPS maintenance.

5.4.1.3 RAM, FLASH and EEPROM
The EEPROM U35 contains the functional parameters of the rectifier and the adjustments.
The two RAM U23-U23 contain the variables of the program
The two FLASH U25-U26 contain the software program.
5.4.1.4 Rectifier bridge protection
The IGBT bridge is protected if the AC input current or the DC output voltage exceed a
threshold value.
The input current is measured through the current transducers TA1-TA2-TA3, which signals
are connected to the INT-R and then to the D-CPU-RC. The comparison of the feedback signal
with a fixed threshold generates the signal Low_IMax.
The DC voltage is measured through the voltage transducers VM2-VM3 inside the INT-R.
The comparison of the feedback signal with a fixed threshold generates the signal
High_Max_Booster. A third signal, Low_Bad_Supply, depends on the voltage supply of the
microprocessor.
A logic OR is made with these three signals, so that an anomaly of one of them stops the
PWM protecting the IGBT bridge (signal Low_PWM_Trip).

6.2 INV-AV-3F
6.2.1 Description of operation
The INV-AV-3F provides the inverter voltage feedback for the real-time control loop. The
inverter output phases (L1-L2-L3), taken on the filter capacitor Cr-Cs-Ct, are connected on CN1
pin 1-3-5 respectively; the voltage values are reduced by the transformer T1-T2-T3 and sent to
the microprocessor control logic I/S-CL through the connector W18.
The UPS output current transformers TA2-TA3-TA4 are connected to CN3 pin 1-2, 3-4 and
5-6 respectively; the current generated by TA2-3-4 flows through the resistors R4-R5-R6,
generating voltage drops proportional to the UPS output current; this waveforms are sent to the
I/S-CL measuring section for the output current reading.

6.3 PS-MIS
6.3.1 Description of operation
The board PS-MIS is mounted directly on two DC capacitors connected in series; it’s
composed by two sections:

1) Supply of the board PS-SAT: the voltage across the DC capacitors bank is connected to
the connector M1-5/6 and de-coupled by a diode. The voltage across the capacitors C1-
C2 (on which the board is fixed) is lower than the input voltage owing to the voltage drop

6.4 PWM-SAT
The board PWM-SAT is the interface between the inverter bridge and the microprocessor
control I/S-CL. The modulation signals is available from the I/S-CL on the connectors CN1 (leg
A), CN2 (leg B), and CN3 (leg C). The PWM-SAT split the signal in two parts to make it
available for each single switch of the inverter bridge (positive and negative).
It also collects the current feedbacks coming from the current transducers TA5-TA6-TA7 and
send the resulting signal to the microprocessor control through the connection M1 PWM-SAT Æ
M1 I/S-CL.
Finally, it collects the de-saturation and under-voltage lock-out protections coming from each
driver, generating a single output signal that is sent to the microprocessor.

7 STATIC SWITCH PCB’S


7.1 VOLT-REF-3F
7.1.1 Description of operation
The VOLT-REF-3F provides the signals for the by-pass line and output voltage
measurement. The by-pass is connected on CN1 pin 1-3-5 (L1-L2-L3) and 7 (neutral) and
supplies the double-secondary transformers T1-T2-T3; the secondary windings of the
transformers through to the Graetz bridge formed by the diodes D1÷D6 and the stabilizer U1,
creates a +5V supply that is sent to the I/S-CL board through the connector CN3. This is a
redundant supply for the static switch control logic (SCB board) and its presence can be verified
by checking the status of the LED DL1. The other secondary windings are used to send the
microprocessor, for measuring purposes, a waveform proportional to the by-pass voltage value,
through the connector CN4, pin 1 (neutral), 2, 3 and 4.
The UPS output is connected on CN5 pin 1-3-5 (L1-L2-L3) and 7 (neutral) and supplies the
double-secondary transformers T4-T5-T6; the secondary windings are connected to the Graetz
bridge formed by the diodes D7÷D12, which output is connected in parallel to the stabilizer U1.
The other secondary windings are used to send the microprocessor, for measuring purposes, a
waveform proportional to the output voltage value, through the connector CN4, pin 5, 6, 7 and 8
(neutral).

8.2.1.9 RCB board
The RCB is an additional card which is fixed on the I/S-CL. It contains the drivers for the
digital outputs of the microprocessor. Each output is de-coupled and buffered on this card. The
RCB contains also the RS232 and RS485 drivers for the serial communication ports.
8.2.1.10 SCB board and Thyristor drivers
The SCB is an additional card which is fixed on the I/S-CL. It contains the decisional logic for
both bypass and inverter static switches. It can turn-on directly the bypass static switch or send
the command to the I/S-CL to close the inverter static switch.
This card can be programmed through the jumpers J1÷J8 (see figura 51) and it is powered
directly by the emergency line at +5V (see 7.1.1). This supply can be checked on the LED L1
(green) and measured between U11 pin 10 (ground) and pin 20.
8.2.1.11 Current Limitation and Max Current Stop
The current flowing in the inverter bridge is measured through a hall-effect current transducer
on the connector M1 pin 2.

1) Short circuit protection: the feedback signal originated by the Hall effect CT is acquired by
the microprocessor card where it generates a voltage drop flowing through the resistors
R18-R39-R40, so that it can be used for the control circuit. By means of a amplifier, which
gain can be varied with the potentiometer P2, the value of the signal is adapted to the
dynamic of the protection circuit.

Issued 13/04/07 JUD409400 29 of 35


UPS Functioning Description

The signal on the test point TP2 must be equal to 4Vpk when the inverter supplies the
nominal load (100%).
In case of short circuit the output current is limited at 200% for 100ms, and then to 125%
for 5 seconds, after which the inverter is switched off (according to EN62040-3).

2) “Current stop” protection: the resistors R18-R39-R40 are properly combined according to
the IGBT’s nominal current so that, in case of “bridge leg” short circuit the PWM is
stopped before the input current exceed the 200% of the IGBT’s nominal current. The
detection time and the subsequent inverter stop is not higher than a PWM pulse (max.
250μs)
The inverter stop due to “Current stop” is signalled by the LED D3, placed on the front of
the I/S-CL card. The program provides for the automatic reset of the stop condition for
three times, re-starting the inverter. If the block repeats, therefore a real failure exists in
the inverter bridge, the inverter is definitely stopped and must be re-started only after
having verified the reason of the malfunction.

8.2.1.12 VCB board
The VCB is an additional card which is fixed on the I/S-CL. It’s made by the following
sections.

1) Sine-wave generator: the digital samples coming from the microprocessor (that represents
the digital sine-wave) are converted by a D/A converter in order to obtain a real sine-wave
which is transferred to the PWM generator (see 8.2.1.13). The amplitude of the sine-wave
Issued 13/04/07 JUD409400 30 of 35
UPS Functioning Description

is varied by the AUTOMATIC regulation loop (jumper J1 in position 1-2) in function of a


set-point managed by the microprocessor adjustable through the potentiometer P1. Each
phase of the inverter is disengaged and can be varied independently.
In order to carry put functional tests, the regulation loop can be set in MANUAL mode
(jumper J1 in position 2-3), in such case the amplitude is varied turning the potentiometer
P1 of the I/S-CL card. In this case the inverter output voltages are varied contemporary.

2) Voltage correction (instantaneous value loop): the voltage correction circuit is used to
modify the PWM reference signal in order to “correct” possible distortions on the output
sine-wave and can be disabled removing the jumper J2. The feedback signal, coming
from the INV-AV-3F card is compared with the reference sine-wave e properly filtered.
The resulting signal is added again to the reference sine-wave.

3) Inverter voltage measure: a section of the card is dedicated to the creation of a signal that
is used as reference for the measure of the inverter output voltage. The feedback signal,
coming from the board INV-AV-3F, is rectified, filtered and sent to the external A/D
converter (see 8.2.1.5), and then to the microprocessor
8.2.1.13 PWM generator
The I/S-CL can be used to generate both single-phase and three-phase output voltages. This
function can be programmed by setting the jumper J1 on the I/S-CL. The PWM generator
compares the sine-waves coming from the VCB card with a triangular waveform at the switching
frequency (U17 pin 6) to generate the PWM modulation to control the inverter power bridge.

Troubleshooting and Maintenance

1 INTRODUCTION
This troubleshooting includes a first-level fault description based on the UPS alarms and
suggests how to check the unit to solve the problems. This description assumes that all the
connections inside the unit are correct: check them (connectors, power cables, signals and so
on) before to start with the procedures. The first-level troubleshooting eventually leads to the
substitution of the components of the UPS without attempting to repair them.
The procedures listed below takes into account the operator is provided with all the testing
tools and perfectly confident with the test software.

1.1 TOOLS FOR SERVICE


The tools necessary for service are described below:

1. External power supply

2.17 A17 – RETRANSFER BLOCKED


This alarm indicates that the load is blocked on the emergency line (by-pass) after 6
transfers to by-pass in 2 minutes. Normally it occurs when there are several heavy load steps
(like motors starting, printers and so on) in a very short time. In this case, as the current
exceeds two times the nominal value, the short circuit monitor (see alarm A25 – Short circuit)
transfers automatically the load to by-pass, and after a few seconds the inverter takes back the
load. If this situation happens six times in two minutes, the UPS protects itself by blocking the
load to by-pass and the alarm is activated. This condition can be reset by sending the command
RESE000 or by resetting the UPS from the special menu in the front panel.

2.24 A24 – CURRENT STOP


This alarm indicates that the maximum current monitor has detected a fault on the inverter
bridge. This protection works as follows: the hall effect transducer TA1 transmits the inverter
bridge current to the I/S-CL on the connector M1. If the current on the bridge exceeds the 250%
of the nominal current the current stop protection is activated and the inverter is switched off.

bridge current to the I/S-CL on the connector M1. This signal is amplified on the test point TP2
and can be set at 4Vpeak at 100% load by turning the potentiometer P2. As this signal exceeds
two times the nominal output current, the current limitation starts to work and the alarm A25 is
activated. This happens if the emergency line is not available, otherwise the load is
automatically transferred to bypass. Normally the alarm A25 can be found in the alarm history,
as it is automatically reset as the short circuit is removed.

4 ON-FIELD TEST PROCEDURES


This chapter describes the most common operating procedures used to test the various
sections of the UPS during repairing or maintenance operations.
These procedures assumes that all the power components (fuses, thyristors, cables, etc.)
are OK, no modifications have been made in the power and auxiliary circuitry and that the unit is
switched off or in manual by-pass (all the control circuits are off).

4.1 RECTIFIER
4.1.1 General notes on the TEST mode
Owing to the use of two different microprocessors inside the UPS, there exist two different
TEST modalities: one for the rectifier and one for the inverter, which is described at 4.2.1.
The TEST mode on the rectifier is enabled by closing the pins 11-12 of the connector M15 of
the board PB223 (INT-R). The condition of the contact is acquired by the microprocessor at the
start-up and only if the DC voltage is lower than 50Vdc (no AC voltage present).
The TEST mode set the duty cycle of the IGBT’s PWM at 50% and is used to check the
IGBT’s turn-on signals before the rectifier start-up.
4.1.2 Setting the rectifier in TEST mode
The operation described below are carried out on the board PB223 (INT-R).
1. Disconnect the cable W51 from the connector M8.
2. Connect a jumper between pins 11-12 of the connector M15.
3. Disconnect the jumper from the connector M10.
4. Connect the external ON/OFF switch to the connector M10 and make sure the contact of
the switch is open.
5. Connect the external 3Ph AC supply to the connector M8.

Troubleshooting and Maintenance

Now the board INT-R is supplied and the microprocessor will acquire the TEST mode
condition.

4.2 INVERTER
4.2.1 General notes on the TEST mode
The TEST mode is a operating condition where the inverter doesn’t start-up automatically but
waits for the commands sent by the operator through the UPSTest software. In this condition
some alarms are hidden and the UPS can be tested completely. When the UPS is in manual by-
pass for example, only the TEST mode allows the operator to check the UPS operation. The
TEST mode can be set by moving the DIP6 SW1 in position OFF in the I/S-CL board. The
microprocessor acquires the position of the dip-switch only after it has been reset (switching off
the UPS or by pressing the push-button SW3 in the I/S-CL).
4.2.2 Blank test of the I/S-CL board
The procedure that follows is part of the factory test procedure, related to the preliminary
checks carried out on the microprocessor board I/S-CL before proceeding with the inverter start-
up. It’s useful when, after an inverter failure, the operator wants to be sure that no damage have
occurred in the control section.

1. Choose the inverter TEST mode, moving the DIP6 SW1 in position OFF in the I/S-CL
board.
2. Select the “manual” voltage regulation, moving the jumper J1 on the VCB boards in
position 2-3. This setting disable the voltage loop, and the inverter voltage regulation
signal is adjusted with the potentiometer P1 of the I/S-CL board.
3. Disconnect the flat cable W9 from the connector CN4 of the board PB003 (I/S-CL) and
connect an external 10-wire flat cable between it and the connector CN4 of the POWER
SUPPLY board. This external connection is necessary for the microprocessor to acquire
the DC voltage reading.
4. On the POWER SUPPLY board disconnect the connector CNB and connect the external
power supply. The microprocessor is now supplied and after some seconds the front
panel will show all the alarms present at that moment.
5. Connect the oscilloscope probe between analog ground and pin 6 of U17 and check the
presence of a signal as in picture 4:

Troubleshooting and Maintenance

This waveform is compared with the reference sine-wave generated by the microprocessor
to create the IGBT’s PWM signals.
In the following steps the sine-wave generated by the microprocessor and the IGBT’s turn-on
signals will be checked. The inverter can be turned-on only if all the software conditions are
fulfilled, so it’s necessary to change the DC voltage reading (now coming from the external
power supply) to enable the variable VDC_OK.

6. Change the DC voltage reading sending the command TVBAxxx, where xxx is the
floating voltage, and check that the command is acquired by the microprocessor and that
the variable VDC_OK is activated.
7. Turn-on the IGBT modulation by sending the command INON000 or pressing F6.
8. Place the oscilloscope probe between the analog ground and pin 7 of U2 (VCB boards),
rotate P1 of the I/S-CL board («) and check that the amplitude of the generated sine-
wave increases, and then turn back P1 until the sine-wave is at zero again (¬).
9. Check that the red LED’s on the IGBT driver boards are correctly lit.
10. Verify the turn-on signal between emitter (E) and gate (G) of the IGBT’s (see picture 3).
11. Turn-off the IGBT modulation by sending the command INOF000 or pressing F7.
12. Disconnect the external power supply.
13. Disconnect the external 10-wire flat cable and re-connect W9 to the connector CN4 of
the board PB003 (I/S-CL).

After the disconnection of the external power supply the microprocessor is reset and the DC
voltage setting, which has been modified before, is cleared, therefore the unit will show the
exact DC voltage value at the following start-up.
4.2.3 Inverter manual start-up
This procedures assumes that all the power components in the inverter bridge have been
previously checked (see paragraph 4.2.2). The inverter output voltage is increased starting from
zero to check the behaviour of the components (AC capacitors, fans, etc.) at reduced AC
voltage after having identified a failure in the inverter section.

1. Choose the inverter TEST mode, moving the DIP6 SW1 in position OFF in the I/S-CL
board.
2. Select the “manual” voltage regulation, moving the jumper J1 on the VCB boards in
position 2-3. This setting disable the voltage loop, and the inverter voltage regulation
signal is adjusted with the potentiometer P1 of the I/S-CL board.
3. Close RCB and supply the unit. After some seconds the front panel will show all the
alarms present at that moment.
4. Turn-on the IGBT modulation by sending the command INON000 or pressing F6.
5. Verify that, after some seconds, the inverter static switch closes by checking the green
LED’s in the firing boards 2SCR FIR.
6. Rotate P1 of the I/S-CL board («) and increase the inverter output voltage. Check that
the sine waves are present downstream the inverter static switch and that the shape is
correct.
7. Place the oscilloscope probe between the analog ground and the test point TP2 and
check that the shape of the inverter bridge current is correct (see picture 2).
8. Rotate P1 of the I/S-CL board (¬) to set the modulation signal to zero.
9. Turn-off the IGBT modulation by sending the command INOF000 or pressing F7.
10. Open RCB and switch off the unit.
4.2.4 Inverter automatic start-up
This procedures follows the previous one and it’s used to check the correct operation of the
inverter with the voltage loop closed.

the by-pass static switch is supplied even when the microprocessor is off (POWER SUPPLY
board not supplied).

1. Close the by-pass circuit breaker SBCB and check that the LED L1 in the SCB board is
correctly lit (green).
2. Verify that, after some seconds, the by-pass static switch closes by checking the red
LED’s in the firing boards 2SCR FIR.
4.3.2 Commutation tests
The commutation tests are useful to check the correct operation of the static switch.

1. Start-up the inverter in automatic mode (see procedure at 4.2.4) and verify that the
inverter static switch closes.
2. Close SBCB, wait for the status S6 – BYPASS OK is activated.
3. Measure with a multimeter the voltage difference between the by-pass input and the
inverter output and verify that it doesn’t exceed 20Vac. The inverter is now synchronised
with the by-pass.
4. Move the NORMAL-BYPASS switch SW1 in by-pass position and verify that the load is
transferred to the by-pass static switch. Then move it back and verify that the load is
supplied again by the inverter.
5. Repeat the previous steps and verify that at the sixth time the load remains supplied by
the by-pass and the alarm A17 – Retransfer blocked is activated.
6. Reset the blocking condition by sending the command RESE000 or entering the special
menu in the front panel.

WARNING
Before sending any message insure that the computer writes with capital letters (CAPS). All
commands consist in 4 letters and 3 numbers LLLLXXX.
After having sent a message, wait for an acoustic confirmation signal (BEEP) before sending
new strings. If the signal does not arrive it means that the operation has had a negative result,
so the last message must be repeated.

VERY IMPORTANT
The usage of these messages is recommended to specialized personnel only.
Don’t forget to send the command MEEE000 to store the variations on the UPS memory.

Parallel Redundant System - Operating Manual

INTRODUCTION
The scope of this manual is to guide the installer and the user to the correct
installation of the parallel redundant system in the chosen room.

Before reading this manual, the installer and the user will have to read with
care and attention the “UPS OPERATING MANUAL” to carry-out correctly the
given instructions for the single units, especially those relevant to security
according to CEI 64-8 and to 46-90 standards.

The manufacturer declines all responsibility of damages to people or things


deriving from non-fulfilment of the above.

1. PARALLEL REDUNDANT SYSTEM TYPOLOGY


The parallel system consists of “n” (up to 6) units, which are equipped like standard
units. Only the manual bypass can be external and unique for all the units.
On each unit one extra pcb (RPI-BUSCAN), that provides the parallel redundant
functions, is installed.
In addition to the standard functions as uninterruptible power supply, total power
control and protection of the load from mains distortion, the parallel redundant system
guarantees an uninterrupted power supply even in case of an internal failure in one of
the UPS units.

It is possible because all units are constantly in operation and feed the load in
parallel at “total load / n”, where “n” is the number of the UPS.
The AC automatic current sharing control equalizes the currents of the “n” units and
reduces the total unbalance at less than 10%, under all load conditions.
The load is supplied by the inverters in parallel for an instantaneous overload up to “n
x 200%” of the nominal load of the single unit.
In case of a failure in one unit, the other units supply the load. The load is supplied by
the static bypass, only if there is an additional failure in the other units.

All the units consist of six functional components:

- Rectifier (R)
- Inverter (I)
- Battery (B)
- Static Switch: Static Switch Inverter (SSI) Static bypass (SB)
- Manual bypass (MB) (on all the units or unique ad external)
- Front panel

3. OPERATING CONDITION
During “n UPS normal condition” any failure transfers the parallel redundant system
to “n-1 UPS normal condition”, or to “n rectifier failure or mains failure” condition.
During “n-1 UPS normal condition” or “n rectifier failure or mains failure” condition,
any failure transfers the parallel redundant system to “n-1 rectifier failure or mains
failure” condition or to “bypass feeds load” condition. In these operating conditions the
parallel redundant system signals a failure with audible and visual alarms.
During “n-1 rectifier failure or mains failure” condition or to “bypass feeds load”
condition, an additional failure may interrupt the power supply to the load, depending on
the kind of failure.
During “manual bypass” condition the mains feeds the load directly for maintenance
or serious failure.

Picture 13 - Bus cable connections

5. SYSTEM PERFORMANCES
The parallel redundant system has better static and dynamic performances in
comparison with a single unit as, due to the redundancy, the total amount of power
available is higher than the nominal load of the system.

5.1 OVERLOAD
The overload limit of a parallel redundant system depends on the number of the
units, which are connected to the load:

Imax = n * In

where “n” = number of the units, “In” = nominal current of each unit

The load exceeds this limit the thermal image starts and after a certain time the load
is transferred to bypass (if available).

5.2 SHORT CIRCUIT


If there is a short circuit at the output the system transfers the load to bypass (if it is
available), otherwise all the units supply 200% In for 5 cycles and after 125% for 5
seconds.

6. START-UP
6.1 TWO UPS – DIRECT START-UP
When the parallel UPS’s are only two, it’s possible to start the system by switching
on the unit having the lower position (Number 1), closing RCB and following the
procedure shown on the display.
At the end of the start-up of the first unit, the second one can be switched on
normally, closing RCB and following the procedure shown on the display.

6.2 TWO UPS – START-UP FROM MANUAL BY-PASS


The parallel system can also be switched on starting from manual by-pass. The unit
having the lower position (Number 1) must be started-up first:

o Close the manual by-pass breaker MBCB on the unit Number 1


o On the same unit (Number 1) move the By-pass switch in BY-PASS position
o Close RCB
o Follow all the instructions shown on the display until the unit is completely
started-up and supplies correctly the load
o Start-up the unit Number 2 closing RCB and following the instructions shown
on the display

6.3 MORE THAN TWO UPS – START-UP FROM MANUAL BY-PASS


When the parallel UPS’s are more than two, the system can only be switched on
starting from manual by-pass, in order to have all the units connected contemporary to
the load bus. The procedure is the following:

o Close the manual by-pass breaker MBCB in ALL the UPS


o Move the by-pass switches in BY-PASS position in ALL the UPS
o Close RCB in ALL the UPS
o Follow the instructions on the display on the UPS having the lower position
(Number 1) until it shows the message “OPEN ALL MBCB”. Do not open the
MBCB breakers at this point.
o Proceed as indicated above for all the units up to the one having the higher
position (Number “N”)
o Verify that all the by-pass static switches are closed
o Open the manual by-pass breaker MBCB in ALL the UPS
o Upon the display request, move the by-pass switches of all the units in
position NORMAL, starting from the UPS Number 1.

7. MANUAL BY-PASS TRANSFER PROCEDURE


During the normal operation of a parallel redundant system, the by-pass switch has
the function to disconnect the UPS from the supply of the load, opening the inverter
static switch. The load is transferred to the by-pass (emergency line) according to the
settings of the parallel logic RPI.
If the parallel system (2 UPS) is programmed with the logic “1 on 2” (parallel
redundant) the load is transferred to the emergency line only when both by-pass
switches are in BY-PASS position.
If the parallel system (2 UPS) is programmed with the logic “2 on 2” (power parallel)
the load is transferred to the emergency line when at least one by-pass switch is in BY-
PASS position.

7.1 MANUAL BY-PASS TRANSFER PROCEDURE


Move ALL by-pass switches in position BY-PASS, so that the load is transferred to
the emergency line on all the UPS systems (LED 6 on the front panel lit orange).
Close one or more MBCB (all the inverter will stop with the alarm A13).
Starting from the UPS having the higher position (Number “N”), open the breakers
OCB, SBCB, BCB, RCB.

7.2 RE-START FROM MANUAL BY-PASS


The system is in Manual By-pass condition, with one or more MBCB breakers closed
and ALL the by-pass switches in BY-PASS position, according to the procedure
described at point 7.1.
The system can be re-started according to the following procedures, depending on
the number of UPS composing the parallel system.

7.2.1 Two UPS – Re-start from MANUAL BYPASS


o Close RCB on UPS Number 1
o Follow all the instructions shown on the display until the unit is completely
started-up and supplies correctly the load
o On UPS Number 2 move the by-pass switch in NORMAL position
o Close RCB on UPS Number 2 and follow the instructions shown on the display
until the unit is completely started-up and supplies correctly the load

7.2.2 More than two UPS – Re-start from MANUAL BYPASS


o Close RCB in ALL the UPS
o Follow the instructions on the display on the UPS having the lower position
(Number 1) until it shows the message “OPEN ALL MBCB”. Do not open the
MBCB breakers at this point.
o Proceed as indicated above for all the units up to the one having the higher
position (Number “N”)
o Verify that all the by-pass static switches are closed
o Open the manual by-pass breaker MBCB in ALL the UPS
Issued 13/04/07 JUD409404 17 of 18
Parallel Redundant System - Operating Manual

o Upon the display request, move the by-pass switches of all the units in
position NORMAL, starting from the UPS Number 1.

ATTENTION
When all the displays will show “OPEN ALL MBCB”, the operator must open ALL
MBCB breakers and/or MBCB installed in external cabinets.

NOTE
In a parallel systems with more than 2 UPS, the load will be transferred to the
inverter(s) in accordance with the redundancy logic set on the RPI board (N-1/N).
If the system is composed by 3 UPS with a redundancy logic of “2 of 3”, the load will
be transferred to the inverter only when the second unit is completely started.

Parallel redundant system - Maintenance and Troubleshooting

INTRODUCTION
The scope of this manual is to guide the technician to the correct maintenance and
troubleshooting of the parallel redundant system.

NOTE
Before reading this manual, the technician will have to read with care and attention
the “PARALLEL REDUNDANT SYSTEM OPERATING MANUAL” to carry-out correctly the
given instructions. The manufacturer declines all responsibility for damages to people or
things deriving from non-fulfilment of the above.

1. MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
The parallel system allows the operator to carry out the maintenance of one or more units in
two different operating conditions, that’s to say, under continuity, where the load is still supplied
by the other inverter(s) or in manual by-pass condition.

NOTE
The modality of intervention must take into consideration the operating condition of
the plant, and must be agreed with the final user. For the operating procedures refer to
the technical documentation related to the UPS installed.

1.1 MAINTENANCE WITH THE LOAD UNDER CONTINUITY


Using this procedure the operator can work on one UPS at a time, leaving the load bus
supplied by the remaining UPS(s) so that the continuity of the supply is guaranteed. This
procedure is valid only for parallel redundant systems, not for power parallel.

NOTE
The operator carrying out the maintenance must consider under his own responsibility the
operating risks for himself and for the final user.

The procedure to disconnect the UPS under maintenance is the following:


o Move the by-pass switch on BY-PASS to disconnect the UPS from the load bus
o Open OCB
o Open SBCB
o Open BCB
o Open RCB

Wait until the UPS is completely switched off and carry out the maintenance.

Upon completion of the works, if necessary, the inverter can be tested in the following
manner (for further details refer to the specific procedures):

o Put the UPS in TEST mode (Dip 6 SW1 in OFF on PB003)


o Move the by-pass switch in NORMAL position
o Supply the logic with the external power supply
o Close RCB and start the inverter modulation by PC command
o At the end of the soft-start the inverter static switch will close and it will be possible to
check the output voltage waveform.
Issued 13/04/07 JUD409405 3 of 35
Parallel redundant system - Maintenance and Troubleshooting

o Moving the by-pass switch in BY-PASS position will cause the inverter static switch to
open but the load is not transferred to by-pass. The SBCB breaker must be kept
open.

Upon completion of the test the UPS can be put again “on line” with the following procedure:

o Put the UPS in NORMAL mode (Dip 6 SW1 in ON on PB003)


o Restore the normal supply of the logic.
o Move the by-pass switch in NORMAL position
o Re-start the unit normally, closing RCB and following the instructions shown on the
display

1.2 MAINTENANCE WITH THE LOAD IN MANUAL BY-PASS


Using this procedure the operator can work on all the UPS systems, leaving the load bus
supplied by the manual by-pass so that the continuity of the supply is not guaranteed

NOTE
The operator carrying out the maintenance must consider under his own responsibility the
operating risks for himself and for the final user.

The procedure to transfer the load in manual by-pass and disconnect the UPS before the
maintenance is described in the PARALLEL SYSTEM OPERATING MANUAL.
Wait until the UPS is completely switched off and carry out the maintenance.

Upon completion of the works, if necessary, the inverter and the by-pass static switch can be
tested in the following manner (for further details refer to the specific procedures):

o Put the UPS in TEST mode (Dip 6 SW1 in OFF on PB003)


o Move the by-pass switch in NORMAL position
o Supply the logic with the external power supply
o By the RPITest software set the UPS redundancy logic at 1 on the RPI board with the
command SNUL001 (logic 1 on “N”)
o By the UPSTest software connected to the RS232 of the UPS, send the command
MAST001 (MASTER condition forced)
o Close RCB and start the inverter modulation by PC command
o At the end of the soft-start the inverter static switch will close and it will be possible to
check the output voltage waveform.
o In case it’s necessary to perform commutation tests or checks on the static switch
operation, close SBCB and wait until the status S6 – BYPASS OK is active on the
UPSTest screen.
o Moving the by-pass switch in BYPASS position will cause the load transfer to the by-
pass so that the commutation between inverter and by-pass line can be tested.

Parallel redundant system - Maintenance and Troubleshooting

At the end of the tests restore the initial status:

o By the UPSTest software connected to the RS232 of the UPS, send the command
MAST000 (MASTER condition reset)
o Set the UPS redundancy logic at “n” on the RPI board, by the command SNULxxx,
with xxx=”n”.
o Put the UPS in NORMAL mode (Dip 6 SW1 in ON on PB003)
o Restore the normal supply of the logic.
o Move the by-pass switch in BYPASS position
o Start with the maintenance of the next unit, if necessary.

The whole system can be re-started following the procedures described at paragraph 7.2 of
the PARALLEL SYSTEM OPERATING MANUAL.

2. TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURES
This troubleshooting includes a first level fault description for Parallel System and suggests
how to check the unit to solve the problems.
All the tests described in this document must be carried out with the parallel system in
Manual Bypass unless otherwise specified.
Please refer to the PARALLEL SYSTEM OPERATING MANUAL for the correct procedure to
transfer the load from normal operation (inverter mode) to manual bypass.
This description assumes that all the connections inside the unit are correct; check them
(connectors, power cables, signals and so on) before starting with the procedures. The first
level troubleshooting consists of substituting the RPI-BUSCAN Board without attempting to
repair it. To replace the RPI Board refer to the instructions given at chapter 3 of this manual.
2.1 CHECK OF LED STATUS
The RPI-BUSCAN (PB110) board is provided with LED’s, indicating the various operating

3. RPI BOARD REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE


This procedure describes how to replace the RPI board. The parallel system must be put in
manual bypass condition.
3.1 RPI GENERAL SETTINGS
1. Remove the BUSCAN bus wire from the defective RPI.
2. Remove the RPI Board (PB110) from the UPS.
3. Measure the values of the potentiometers POT1, POT4, POT5 and POT6 on the faulty
RPI.
4. On the new RPI board set the same values of the potentiometers POT1, POT4, POT5
and POT6.
5. Copy the setting of the Dip Switch from the defective RPI board to the new RPI Board
(set the position of the UPS in the parallel system).
6. Insert the new RPI board on the UPS. Re-connect all the flat cables, wires and the
BUSCAN cable.
7. Put ALL the UPS of the system in Test Mode, setting the Dip6 SW1 of the I/S Control
Logic (PB003 Board) in OFF position.
8. For each UPS, move the Bypass Switch in NORMAL Position.
9. Close all the RCB (Mains Input breakers) and wait the alarms in each UPS.
10. Check the LED’s operation on the RPI Board (PB110) according to the paragraph 2.1.
11. Connect the PC with the RPITest to the new RPI board and set the parallel parameters
sending the commands SNULxxx and SNUPxxx. (refer to the section 4 of this manual).
12. Check if the values of the parameters of the PID controller, on the PID Control Panel of
the RPITest software are correct. (refer to the section 4 of this manual).
KC_COS[FR] KC_COS[QR] KC_COS[FS] KC_COS[FT]
KBI_EE[FR] KBI_EE[QR] KBI_EE[FS] KBI_EE[FT]
13. Check if the value of the parameter Curr_TH_Integ of the PID controller on the PID
Control Panel of the RPITest software is correct. (Refer to the section 5 of this manual).
14. After having set all the parallel control parameters, send the command MEEE000 to save
the new settings and check the acquisition of the settings by waiting for the message
“MESSAGE RECEIVED” on the RPITest screen..
3.2 SYNCHRONIZATION ADJUSTMENTS
1. By the UPS-Test software connected to RS232 of the UPS, send the command
MAST001 (Master condition Forced) to one of the UPS of the parallel system (not the
UPS with the new RPI board). Verify the presence of the MASTER label (RED) on the
UPSTest screen. This UPS now is the MASTER in the system.
2. Switch on all the inverters by the UPSTest software, sending the command INON000.
3. Wait that all the inverter static switch are closed. In the UPS with the new RPI board,
check the inverter output voltage. If there is a difference with the nominal value, it can be
adjusted by the potentiometer P1 on the VCB boards (PB012).
4. With a multimeter, check the voltage difference between the output phases R, measuring
between the input of the OCB of the UPS MASTER and the input of the OCB of the UPS
SLAVE (that is the unit with the new RPI Board). If a phase shift is found, it can be
compensated by turning the potentiometer POT2 on the new RPI Board.
ATTENTION

Parallel redundant system - Maintenance and Troubleshooting

If the UPS is a single-phase output the neutral conductor is not common as it is interrupted
by the output breaker OCB, that must be kept open (the units are operating in manual by-
pass). Therefore, in order to read with the multimeter the voltage difference between the
inverter output voltages, it’s necessary to link the two output neutral conductors, by short-
circuiting the neutral pole of the output breaker OCB (putting a jumper between IN and OUT).

CAUTION
On single-phase UPS, only the neutral pole of OCB must be short-circuited.

5. Switch off ALL the inverters (by the UPSTest software, sending the command INOF000).
6. Send the command MAST000 (Master condition Reset) to the UPS MASTER.
7. Send the command MAST001 to the UPS with the new RPI Board (PB110)
8. Switch on all the inverter by the UPSTest software, sending the command INON000) and
wait that all the inverter static switch are closed.
9. Close the SBCB breakers (Emergency line breaker) in all the units and wait for Bypass
OK signal (Status S6 – BYPASS OK on all the units and status S5 – INV SYNC on the
MASTER unit).
10. With a multimeter, check the synchronization of the MASTER unit with the mains,
measuring between the input of the OCB of the UPS with the new RPI Board and the
input of the SBCB. If a phase shift is found, it can be compensated by turning the
potentiometer POT3 on the new RPI Board.
3.3 COMMUTATION TESTS
All the inverters are now working synchronized with the bypass line. The static switch
operation can be tested according to the following procedure. Take into consideration that the
following are blank tests, carried out with the output breaker open
1. On the UPS with the new RPI board, move the Bypass Switch in BYPASS position.
The inverter static switch will open and the load will be supplied by the other units,
according to the redundancy logic set on the RPI boards.
2. Move the Bypass Switch in BYPASS position in all the other units of the parallel
system. All the bypass static switches will close and the load will be supplied by the
mains.
3. Switch off all the inverters by the UPS-Test software, sending the command
INOF000).
4. Open all the SBCB breakers (Emergency Line breakers)
5. Open all the RCB breakers (Input Mains breakers).
3.4 SYSTEM RE-START
1. Set all the systems in Automatic mode, moving the Dip6 SW1 of the I/S Control Logic
(PB003 Board) in ON position.
2. In case the UPS is a single-phase output, remove the jumpers on the neutral pole of
the OCB breakers (put during the synchronization procedure at point 3.2).
3. Move ALL Bypas Switches in BYPASS position.
4. Now the units are completely switched off with the MBCB breakers closed and the
Bypass Switches in BYPASS position.
5. Re-start the units from MANUAL BYPASS condition following the instructions of the
PARALLEL SYSTEM OPERATING MANUAL.

4. PARALLEL SYSTEM SOFTWARE (RPITEST)


4.1 INTRODUCTION
This document is a guide for the correct configuration of the parameters of the card RPI-
BUSCAN PB110 for a parallel redundant system.
The parallel optional card allows the connection of up to 6 units in parallel.
For a correct installation and interconnection of the parallel cards refer to the parallel test
procedure. Particular attention must be paid to the configuration of the dip switches, through
which the position of each UPS system is defined in univocal way, allowing the correct
exchange of the signals among the systems.

WARNING
Two UPSs can not have the same configuration of the dip-switches, that’s to say the
same position in the parallel system, otherwise there are conflicts of identification of the
messages running through the CAN BUS

The Parallel system has the MASTER condition distributed on the System.
The MASTER is, among the UPS’s supplying the load, the one which has the Lowest
Position Number.
Each UPS uses a CAN connection to “converse” with the other units, and send messages
through the CAN according to its position in the system.
The message contains the information related to the local currents “Phase component of
the phase R”, “Quadrature component of the phase R”, “Phase component of the phase
S”, “Phase component of the phase T”, as well as the status of the digital inputs.

This is the control panel for the Current Phase R


(Phase component of phase R).
There are 4 panels, one for each component.
Phase R it is used to control the CFPAR parameter
(Parallel Phase Contribution). This parameter works
on the phase shift between the Inverter SLAVE and
the Inverter MASTER.
The range of variation is 0÷255, that corresponds to
a phase variation from –400 to 400 (See UPS-Test
software clicking the button Par_Data).
The Quad R (Quadrature component of phase R)
works on the amplitude of phase R (VCB card of the
phase R).
The Phase S works on the amplitude of the Phase S
(VCB card of the phase S).
The Phase T works on the amplitude of the Phase T
(VCB card of the phase T).

Curr_Ing and Curr_Fil are the intermediate values


used for the calculation of CURR_LOC.
CURR_LOC is the value of the current that the UPS
is supplying in a certain moment.
CURR_MED is the “Mean” current, the current that
the UPS should supply in order to share equally the
load with the other systems.
Curr_med=(Curr_loc1+Curr_loc2+.........Curr_loc
N)/n-IFL where Curr-Loc are the current supplied by
each UPS and n-IFL is the number of units that are
supplying the load in that moment (Number of
Inverters Feeding the Load).
The value of the local current shall always aim,
except for little variations, to the value of the mean
current.

This section shows the different parts of the PID


control (Proportional, Integrative, Derivative).

This is the control variable of the PID (OUT of PID).


The range of variation is 0÷255 (1 byte).

Output Freq is the period of the output voltage


(phase R).

Seconds is the seconds counter.

N_Filter Cycles was used in the previous parallel


software releases, up to PCAN40 and it was set with
the command NFILxxx. Note that this parameter is
not used and it’s fixed at 1 with the command
NFIL001.

Curr_TH_Integer is the threshold of the curr_med


above which the Integrative part of the PI is
activated (SCIIxxx).
From the revision PCAN51 this parameter isn’t used
and must be set at 0 (SCII000). For previous
versions this parameter remains set at 300
(SCII300).

N_UPS is the number of units that compose the


parallel system.
This value can be set sending the command
SNUPxxx, where xxx is the number of units that
compose the parallel system. All the parallel cards
must have the same setting. This parameter is
critical and must be set correctly.

N_INV_LOAD is the number of the UPS that are


supplying the load at the moment.

N_UPS(N-1/N) is the number of UPS for the


redundancy logic of the parallel system.
Generally this logic is set by the manufacturer as “N-
1”; if the parallel system is composed by 3 units, the
logic is set at 2, so that at least two inverters are
necessary to supply the load (logic 2 out of 3).
This parameter is set by the command SNULxxx
and fix the redundancy logic of the bypass and
inverter for the parallel system.
The range of variation of this parameter is from 1
and 6 (maximum number of units in the parallel
system).
Example for 4 UPS parallel system:

LOAD ON BYPASS
COMMANDS
INVERTER AVAILABLE
SNUL001 1 inverter out of 4 1 bypass out of 4
SNUL002 2 inverter out of 4 2 bypass out of 4
SNUL003 3 inverter out of 4 3 bypass out of 4
SNUL004 4 inverter out of 4 4 bypass out of 4

Parallel redundant system - Maintenance and Troubleshooting

This value must be set correctly to obtain the


desired behaviour of the system.
The command SNULxxx is implemented starting
from the parallel software release PCAN40.
WARNING
The description of the command given above
refers to the parallel systems with the software
version PCAN55 and with the PAL U12
SAFE1_23 and U11 OUTGEN41 installed on
board the card SCB PB014.
For versions preceding the PCAN55 and with
PAL SAFE1_22 and OUTGEN4 the command
SNUL must be equal to the logic described
above plus 1.
Example:
New release
Logic 1 out of 2 Æ SNUL001
Old release
Logic 1 out of 2 Æ SNUL002
It’s strongly suggested to update the firmware of
the parallel system to the latest release, as
shown in the following chapters.

4.4 UPGRADE OF THE PARALLEL SYSTEM

4.4.1 INTRODUCTION
The parallel system can be upgraded using the following components:

• A couple of EPROM for the firmware of the UPS (I/S Control Logic PB003), compatible
with the version installed in the system. Example V145E or higher.(*)

• Two PAL of the static switch control card (SCB PB014) U12 SAFE1_23 e U11
OUTGEN41

• A couple of Flash memory PCAN55 or higher for the card RPI PB110.

(*) for non-standard software contact the UPS manufacturer’s Customer Support Service.

ATTENTION
Take particular care to the parameter PHASE, that can be examined in the panel PAR-Data
in the UPS-Test software.
This parameter is set in the following way:
PHASE=2700 for single UPS 50 Hz
PHASE=4000 for parallel UPS 50 Hz
Using the software of the Evolution UPS series (V145E) the value is automatically modified
by changing the configuration of the dip-switches of the I/S Control Logic card to set the
Single/Parallel operation.
Some software releases exist, where the value of this parameter is not controlled by the
position of the dip-switches and must be set with the command PHASxxx:
PHAS270 for single UPS PHASE=2700
PHAS400 for parallel UPS PHASE 4000.
(Software version V145SOL, V145S….)
When substituting the software on the I/S Control Logic, verify always the correctness of the
setting of the parameter PHASE according to what described above.

4.4.2 HARDWARE MODIFICATIONS


For the upgrade of the parallel system, each UPS shall be modified according to the
following instructions:

1. Substitute the EPROM of the I/S Control Logic card, upgrading the firmware release to
the version V145E or higher.
2. Substitute the IC U10 of the SCB PB014 card with the chip marked SAFE1_23 and U11
with the chip marked OUTGEN41.
3. Verify the redundancy logic, that’s to say the parameter N_UPS(N-1/N) on the RPI-Test
software, modifying the value with the command SNULxxx if necessary (it depends on the
required redundancy logic).
4. Substitute the flash memories of the RPI card with the version PCAN55 or higher.

4.4.3 PARAMETERS SETTING


Connect the test software RPI-Test, release2.5 or higher, and send all the RPI cards the
command shown in the following paragraphs
