Overview of Rechargeable Battery Function

The OCS Controllers with rechargeable batteries maintain register data in high-speed RAM when
connected to DC power. When DC power is switched off or lost, critical circuits switch over and
run on battery power for around 100mS. During this time register and other retentive data is
saved to FLASH memory. After this time the real-time clock continues to run on the battery at a
very low power level. The battery is designed to maintain the real-time clock for a year or more in
the powered-down state. When powered, the OCS controller recharges the battery as necessary.
Recharging the battery can take up to 8 to 40 hours depending on temperature and the state of
charge.

Battery Life

The battery is designed to last 300 full charges to 1000 partial charges or 7 to 10 years. Because
typical operation does not drain the battery, the 1000 charge cycles should never be reached, and
the 7 to 10-year aging of the battery would limit its useful life. The battery is designed to be
replaced.

  • Page 2: Lithium Battery Safety

    The OCS has safety circuitry built into the charging IC and additional external protection including fusing. These circuits were closely evaluated by UL and Horner engineering for use in hazardous environments. OCS Battery Charging Cycle There are various charging states that are executed based on battery temperature, level of battery charge, and self-test results.
  • Page 3: Battery Charging Status

    MAN1142-06-EN_Batt_Man Battery Charging Status Viewed in the System Menu under “View Battery Status” or read as a numeric value in %SR196. The battery temperature, Tb, is equal to the CPU temperature minus 30°C: Tb = CPU° - 30°C. Table 1 – Charging State Table State - Name Description...

    MAN1142-06-EN_Batt_Man Battery Status in System Registers Table 2 – Battery Status %SR55.13 ON if battery is missing or if voltage is below 2.5V %SR195 CPU temperature in °C %SR196 Charge State; Refer to Table 1 %SR197 Charging Current mA %SR198 Battery Voltage in mV IMPORTANT: The battery voltage shown in the System Menu and in %SR198 is ONLY valid if the battery is not in the Charging State.
  • Page 5: Fail-Safe System

    MAN1142-06-EN_Batt_Man Fail-Safe System It is highly recommended to enable the OCS Fail-Safe System for the retention of register data in the event of battery failure. Please refer to the controller user manual for a complete description of how the Fail-Safe System works and how to enable it. The Fail-Safe System can be enabled from the controller System Menu: Fail-Safe System or from %SR System Registers.

  • Page 7: Check Battery Procedure

    MAN1142-06-EN_Batt_Man Check Battery Procedure. The following procedure should be used to determine the battery condition. • Within the first two minutes after power up, while the unit is in state 11, Waiting (%SR196), check the battery voltage from the System Menu or %SR198. When charging, the voltage reading is affected by the charging circuit and therefore will not be an accurate read.

    MAN1142-06-EN_Batt_Man Battery Replacement for XL series units. This covers units with Lithium ION batteries including XL4e, XL7e, EXL6, and EXL10: Make sure there is a backup of your register data. Using the Clone feature is an easy option (requires micro SD). You may also upload the program and registers using Cscape.
