PB-9250J-SA/ PB-4600J-SA/ PB-2580J-SA Mode Configuration Mode Connection PB standalone module can be configured to three different operating modes: Normal Backup Mode/ Ignition Control Mode/ Ignition Relay Mode. The following sections show detail information about how to connect and use the three different modes.
PB-9250J-SA/ PB-4600J-SA/ PB-2580J-SA 3.1.1 Normal Backup Mode Normal Backup Mode is for general purpose use of PB standalone module. In Normal Backup Mode, DC output 12~35V from power supply should be connected to the DC IN of PB standalone module. DC OUT of PB standalone module should be connected to the power input of the back-end system.
PB-9250J-SA/ PB-4600J-SA/ PB-2580J-SA 3.1.2 Ignition Control Mode Ignition Control Mode is ideal for box-PCs that lack the ignition control function, but still need and want to operate as an in-vehicle controller. With PB standalone module’s built-in IGN control function, the PB standalone module receives the IGN signal and sends a power button signal to the connected system.
PB-9250J-SA/ PB-4600J-SA/ PB-2580J-SA 3.1.3 Ignition Relay Mode Ignition Relay Mode is for in-vehicle box-PCs in transportation application. In Ignition Relay Mode, the PB standalone module can receive IGN input signal and pass it to the back-end system. DC output 12~35V from power supply should be connected to the DC IN of the PB standalone module.
PB-9250J-SA/ PB-4600J-SA/ PB-2580J-SA Daisy Chain Connection (PB-9250J-SA Only) Daisy chain connection is only applicable to PB-9250J. PB-9250J can be wired together in sequence to extend energy capacity. To daisy chain PB-9250Js, user should connect DC power input into the first PB-9250J. Then connect the power output to next power input of PB-9250J, and so on.
PB-9250J-SA/ PB-4600J-SA/ PB-2580J-SA Configuring Windows System Please make sure you’ve configured your Windows system to initiate a shutdown process when pressing the power button. By default, Windows 7/ 8/ 10 goes to sleep (S3) mode when the power button is pressed. As sleep (S3) is not a complete shutdown behavior, therefore the PB standalone module will not recognize this command.
PB-9250J-SA/ PB-4600J-SA/ PB-2580J-SA CAP Energy Management Technology ~ Power Backup Parameter Configurer By controlling fundamental techniques such as charge/ discharge control, active load balance and DC/ DC regulation, Neousys is able to design and create a reliable ultracapacitor-based power backup system. However, the real challenge is how to get the most out of the capacitor energy while ensuring the system shuts down safely during a power blackout.
PB-9250J-SA/ PB-4600J-SA/ PB-2580J-SA Power Backup Parameter Configurer 4.2.1 Executing Power Backup Parameter Configurer The Power Backup Parameter Configurer is an application that allows the user to monitor and manage the connected the PB standalone module. Once you have setup the PB standalone module and have connected it to the host controller COM port (configured in RS-232 mode).
PB-9250J-SA/ PB-4600J-SA/ PB-2580J-SA 4.2.3 Connecting to a Different COM Port on Host Computer If you wish to connect to another COM port (COM2, 3 or 4), you will need to reconfigure the connection setting or the configurer will read false readings (F/W Version, DC Voltage, CAP Energy) upon initial connection.
