Typical Applications; Location Of Connectors & Communication Ports - Eltek Smartpack User Manual

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. System components can be set up and upgraded to meet the demand
of any tailor-made power solution.
