1. Introduction
The Power Display Unit (PDU) is the on-site user interface part of the Power Control Unit (PCU)
BMP 171 001, which controls and supervises the ACTURA® power supply system. The PCU communicates
with the other units of the power supply system and manages functions such as alarm handling and load
sharing between the rectifiers. It can also communicate with the Emerson EnergyMaster system (EEM).

This document only describes how to use the display menus to view functions accessed from the PDU.
Users who are authorised to make changes by means of the web interface should refer also to the Software
Manual document 5/1553 BMP 171 001/1 Uen, which contains descriptions of settings requiring a PC and a
Web browser.

2. Power Display Unit

Figure 1. Location of the PDU.

Figure 2. PDU display and LEDs.

The PDU is located on the door of the power supply system main cabinet. It consists of a small side-lit liquid
crystal graphical display panel with touch screen buttons. Next to the display are three LEDs and there is an
internal buzzer for audible alarms.

The upper LED is red and lights if an A1 or A2 alarm occurs. The buzzer will also begin and continue to
sound until the display is touched by the user. The buzzer can be disabled during setting up (see item 4.12).

The middle LED is yellow and lights if an O1 (observation) alarm occurs, but the buzzer remains silent.

The lower LED is green and is lit while the PCU is receiving power.

2.1 Outgoing Alarm Signals

All active alarms generated by the PCU are shown on the PDU. The PCU has eight outgoing alarm relays.
Three of the relays are dedicated to the alarm categories A1, A2 and O1.

A1 This is reserved for critical alarms, which are generated when there is a danger that the power
system may not be able to continue operating properly.

A2 Alarms given this category are not critical, but they can reduce the functionality of the power system.

O1 These are observation alarms which indicate special operating conditions that may be temporary,
and do not affect continued operation of the power system.

Five outgoing alarm relays provide general alarm signals that may be configured:

• by definition in the PCU or by triggering on incoming alarms.

• by programmable logic circuits triggered from incoming alarms, internal alarms, or internal and incoming
alarms combined with each other in logical AND and OR functions.

• as Not used

All outgoing alarm signals can be blocked except the category O1 alarm signal.
When the outgoing alarms blocked function is active, a category O1 alarm is active.

2.2 Incoming Alarms

The PCU has eight general external opto-coupled user-defined alarm inputs, all configurable as alarm
category A1, A2, O1 or inhibited. The default alarm category is O1.

The alarm inputs are definable as either active high or active low, and are voltage controlled:

Low = between 0 and 5 V; High = between 15 and 75 V.

4.11 Change Password

Figure 17. Change Password display, including the change password sequence.

Important system parameters are protected against unauthorised changes by a four-digit password. On
installation there is no password, and the user should enter a suitable 4-digit number, using the Change
Password procedure. This will retain the authorised password until or unless it is changed at a later time.
During each session of using the PCD, once the password has been entered, no further requests for it will be
made.

4.12 Buzzer setting/LED Test

Figure 18. Buzzer/LED Setting display including the buzzer disabling sequence.

The first option on this display is to disable the buzzer completely. If this is selected, after confirmation and
return to the Start Page the user will be reminded by a “Buzzer Disabled” text. The second and third options
can be used to selectively disable the buzzer. Selecting the “Buzzer disabled for O1” alarms option still
causes the buzzer to sound if an A1 or A2 alarm occurs. Similarly, selecting the “Buzzer disabled for A2/O1”
alarms option only permits the buzzer to sound if an A1 alarm occurs.

When “LED Test” is pressed, the red (A1/A2 alarm) and yellow (O1 alarm) LEDs should light to confirm that
they are serviceable.
