Page 7: Product Description
1. Product Description The BDS‐40 is a stand‐alone monitor for UPS applications and is designed for use with UPS battery cabinets. Albér monitors provide early warning detection of battery problems. The monitor checks the state of health of each cell by performing a proactive resistance test, a reliable predictor of battery performance. In addition, to indicate immediate battery health and monitor status of a given location, the system reports to a Central computer a generic PC displaying status screens. Using polling and data transfer algorithms, the Battery Monitor Data Manager BMDM software program with a PC help to manage over 1000 monitor systems. Data is stored in the computer database for later analysis and reporting. At any time, service personnel may call a battery location from the Central computer or a remote location, or directly connect to the monitor without losing contact with the computer. The Data Manager string and monitor status indicators make central battery monitoring easy. Terms such as Discharging, Alarm or Warning for string status or Active for monitor status quickly summarize events. Conditions reported to the Central computer are displayed as a list, to easily identify trouble spots. The system also features several methods of automated reporting of alarm occurrences, such as contacting key personnel via a pager, email or fax. Flexibility was a major design consideration. Because the monitors are stand‐alone units with no external computer needed, a primary protocol using Modbus ASCII was selected for easy incorporation of the monitor into large‐scale facility monitors. This allows third‐party interfaces to access all the stand‐ alone features of the monitor, yet leaves the advanced features of the BMDM remote communication software available for service personnel. 1.1 Normal Operating Mode In normal mode, the system scans all parameters in one to five seconds, depending on the configuration. As readings are taken, they are compared to user‐programmed alarm levels. The monitor can then call a Central computer and energize an alarm contact if a parameter exceeds a level. Front panel LEDs indicate scan and alarm status, and alarm events are stored in memory for future analysis. The BDS can be programmed for critical and maintenance alarms. 1.2 Discharge Mode If a discharge is detected, the system goes into a data logging mode and stores battery voltages and ... -
Page 8: Alarm Features
Alarm Features The monitor may be set to automatically call the Central computer to report an alarm condition when detected. You can program high and low alarm levels on all voltage and temperature parameters, and a high alarm level for resistance. When a parameter goes outside the normal range, the monitor stores the event in memory, the Alarm LED lights, and an alarm relay with a Form C contact energizes. The alarms may be set for latching or nonlatching. 1.5 Features This section describes standard and optional BDS‐40 features. Scans all pertinent battery parameters, such as overall voltage, cell voltages, current, and temperature. Performs a scheduled resistance test of all cells/jars and intertiers, and stores results for trending analysis. Auto detects discharges based on Overall Volts or Discharge Current, and stores data for real time or accelerated time playback. Signals if any parameter is outside user‐programmed limits, energizes a Form C relay contact, and calls a Central computer to report the alarm condition. Communicates with an external computer via USB, RS‐232, modem, and LAN. Network compatible. Battery Monitor Data Manager BMDM Program Features Windows 2000, XP, 7 and 8 compatible Central computer control software. Easy to read string and monitor status. Automatic polling for over 1000 monitor sites for monitor and string status reporting. Historical event list for complete string history. Automatically receives calls from monitors and updates the central database for data analysis. Service mode for service personnel, and local RS‐323 and USB direct connect viewing of string ... -
