Alarm conditions can be cleared in any of three ways. Table 3 describes the three
resets available for the PureWave SMS-250 system: Auto, Manual, and Self.
Table 3. Reset Types for the PureWave SMS-250 System
Resets
This type of reset is automatically performed until a predetermined
Auto
reset count has been reached .
This type of reset will require a person to use the HMI or a SCADA
Manual connection, or to push the RESET button on the user interface of the
PCS, to reset the system .
This type of reset will automatically clear an alarm when it is no longer
Self
active .
The alarms of the PureWave SMS-250 system are categorized into five alarm types:
Information Status, Warning, Inhibit, Battery Isolate, and Trip Offline. Table 4
describes each alarm type.
Table 4. Alarm Types for the PureWave SMS-250 System
Alarm Type
Indicates the status of the PureWave SMS-250 system and will not affect
Information Status
the proper operation of the system
Indicates a problem that may need attention but will not affect the proper
Warning
operation of the system (The system will continue to operate .)
Indicates a problem that needs attention and will affect the proper
Inhibit operation of the system (The inverter will stop operating and the ac and
dc circuit breakers will remain closed .)
Indicates a problem that needs attention and will affect the proper
operation of the system (The dc circuit breaker will open, and the ac
Battery Isolate circuit breaker will remain closed . This will cause the inverter to lose the
ability to produce/consume real power, but reactive-power operation will
remain unaffected,)
Indicates a problem that needs attention and will affect the proper
Trip Offline operation of the system (The system will not operate and the ac and dc
circuit breakers will open .)
The following describes how the user can operate the PureWave SMS-250 system
using HMI (SCADA Disable) and SCADA (SCADA Enable) modes. Toggle the SMS
CONTROL switch on the user interface to select the desired mode.
To Trip the PureWave SMS-250 System Offline
To stop the storage-management system, the user can push the INVERTER STOP
button located on the user interface. The Trip Offline state can also be activated as
follows:
• HMI: On the PCS user interface, toggle the SMS CONTROL switch to the SCADA
DISABLE setting. Then, on the Command-Control HMI screen, under the System
Control menu, click on the Trip Offline radio button for the PureWave SMS-250 to
go to the Trip Offline state.
• SCADA: The user can select the DNP Point 0 (Trip Offline) to pulse on a request for
the PureWave SMS-250 to go to the Trip Offline state.
Starting the PureWave SMS-250 System
To start the storage management system, if the INVERTER STOP button on the user
interface was pressed, the button will need to be twisted and released to its not-pressed
position for the system to go to the Ready state (barring any other Trip Offline or
Inhibit alarms). If the INVERTER STOP button was not pressed, then either of the
following actions can be taken:
• HMI: On the PCS user interface, make sure the SMS CONTROL switch is in the
SCADA DISABLE postion. Then, on the Command-Control HMI screen under the
System Control menu click on the Online radio button for the system to go to the
Ready state.
• SCADA: If the SCADA Trip Offline command is set, the user can clear the bit at DNP
Point 0 (Trip Offline) to latch off the Trip Offline request for the PureWave SMS-250
system to go to the Ready state.
