1.3 Product General Description The Commander 5000/5100 series is a family of universal control panels (UCPs) which consolidate the On, Off, and Emergency Power Off (EPO) controls for downstream equipment with compatible control signal interfaces. Generally, Marway’s UCPs are used in conjunction with Marway’s power distribution units such as the Ethernet networked Optima 8 series, the non-networked Optima 5 series, and Optima custom models. Each UCP model has a single phase mains power inlet, user control buttons on the front panel, control signal connectors on the back panel. Each also has a pair of auxiliary convenience power outlets (one at the front, one at the back). All models are constructed of a steel chassis, and are designed for fixed mounting within a 1-U rack space in an EIA-310 compliant rack enclosure. 1.4 Product Models The products are separated into two families. The 5000 series is designed to NEMA conventions, and the 5100 series designed to IEC conventions. Each of these two families includes models for normally open (N.O.) and normally closed (N.C.) EPO styles. Each style is available with or without an EPO button guard.
2 Installation 2.1 Installation Notes The following guidance must be followed for proper installation of the product. 1. Mounting: This product is designed for mounting in an EIA-310 compliant 19” rack. The user is responsible for ensuring the mounting method provides adequate structural support for the product and any attached cables. The user is also responsible for ensuring the mounting location provides adequate ventilation to dissipate heat generated during operation of the product. Ensure the product is securely mounted before applying power. 2.
3.2 Control Modes and Connector Pins The system has three modes or states of control named On, Off, and EPO. These modes change the state of the Outlet Control Bus pins at the rear of the unit—which are then interpreted by the remote EPO controller in a Marway PDU (or other equipment with compatible signals). The following table summarizes the pin connections during the operating modes.
Note that connectors J1 and J2 are wired in parallel. That is, J1 pin 1 is always common to J2 pin 1, and the same for each of the three pins. Connectors J4 and J5 are wired independently, but operate in parallel. They will change state at the same time, but J4 pin 1 is never common with J5 pin 1. The same goes for pin 3. There is no Disable signal on J4 and J5. Pin 2 is not used. On these connectors, the loss of the ...
3.2.3 Clearing EPO Mode After the EPO has been pressed, an operator has to clear the EPO mode before resuming normal operation with On mode. Press the EPO Reset button. At this point, the system will be in Off mode with the pin connections reverted to the conditions described in the sections above. If the Audio button has been temporarily switch to the Off position, it should be switched back On so it can alert for the next EPO event. To return to normal operating mode with PDU outlets powered, press the On button. 3.3 Control Modes and PDU Behaviors This section is to clarify what behavior to expect with various design options in the PDUs to which the Commander UCP may be connected.
3.3.3 Custom PDUs Custom PDUs may or may not have outlets which are not subject to the EPO system. The pattern of labeling outlets may have to follow specific needs defined by the customer, so it may not be obvious which outlets will remain powered. The end user will need to determine this based on knowing the original design requirements. If the custom PDU has RCM software and switched outlets, then the behavior described above in “3.3.2 Optima 8 Series PDUs” will apply. Please read that section for details. If the custom PDU does not have RCM networking software with switched outlets, then any outlet designed to not react to the EPO system will simply remain on (as long as the PDU is powered) even when the EPO button is pressed or the EPO Mode switch on the PDU is the Off (middle) position.
Disable Return Return While there are four connectors, this does not necessarily limit connecting to just four downstream PDUs. Assuming the UCP is used with Marway PDUs, the conventional method is to connect to the first PDU, then daisy chain multiple PDUs. Some PDUs may have only one remote EPO connection (due to lack of space), in which case Y cables can be used to implement daisy chaining. Nevertheless, connecting multiple PDUs directly to the UCP is possible using the on-board connectors. Connectors J1 and J2 are intended to be used to connect to downstream PDUs. Shown below are common daisy chain scenarios. The left show the Commander’s J1 and J2 being used to directly connect to separate PDUs.
4.2 Remote Status Indication The Commander’s connectors J4 and J5 are intended for Marway UCP End User Equipment remote indication — that is, the ability to drive a lamp or signal input on some remote equipment which indicates that the Pin 1 : Enabled Commander is in the Power On mode. Pin 3 : Return Each connector is a dry contact, each is wired independently, Pin 1 : Enabled and each is rated up to 250 volts, and up to 4 amps.
