    2 The Smartpack Controller 2. The Smartpack Controller The Smartpack controller is a monitoring and control unit used as the vital nerve center of the DC power plant. You operate the system from the elegant front panel, using three front keys and the LCD-display. They represent the main interface between you and the system.
  • Page 7: Typical Applications

    2 The Smartpack Controller Typical Applications The Smartpack controller employs CAN bus communication with the rectifiers in the Smartpack-based DC power system ⎯ and other bus-connected Smartpack controllers in the system ⎯ thus enabling flexible expansion of system functionality and number of measuring points.
  • Page 8: System & Battery Signals ⎯ Internal Connections

    2 The Smartpack Controller System & Battery Signals ⎯ Internal Connections In standard Smartpack-based DC power systems, the controller’s internal signals are cabled either directly to the corresponding monitoring or measuring points, or to internal terminals, as shown in Figure 5. See your system’s specific arrangement drawings.

    CAN bus Addressing Eltek’s CAN bus may address a maximum of 60 nodes. Among them, you may connect a maximum of 8 Smartpack controllers and or 50 rectifiers. Hardware Assignment ⎯ Controllers...
  • Page 11: Software Assignment ⎯ Rectifiers

    Each rectifier in the Smartpack-based DC power system is automatically configured by the Smartpack controller with a unique CAN bus ID number (software-assignment). When the rectifiers are hot-plugged in the power shelves the first time, the Smartpack controller dynamically assigns the rectifiers with the next available ID number (software- assignment), and automatically increases the number of communicating rectifiers on the CAN bus.
