Installing and Removing Charge/Discharge Power Supply Units The charge/discharge power supply units can be installed or removed even if the unit frame is rack mounted. Furthermore, if the charge/discharge power supply unit is in the STANDBY status, you can install or remove the unit even if the power switch of the unit frame is on.
1.6.2 Installation Procedure The procedure below uses the PFX2011 charge/discharge power supply unit as an example. The procedure is similar for the PFX2021. Remove the louver. See Fig. 1-4. Pull down the lever toward you. Carry the charge/discharge power supply unit with both hands as shown in Fig.
Page 29
Push the top section of the louver Remove the louver by holding (indicated with an arrow) to lift the the lifted section and pulling in bottom section. the direction of the arrow. When the unit is inserted a third of the way in, the unit is locked once.
1.6.3 Removal Procedure The procedure below uses the PFX2011 charge/discharge power supply unit as an example. The procedure is similar for the PFX2021. CAUTION • Never remove the charge/discharge power supply unit from the unit frame if the POWER/STANDBY LED is illuminated in green (POWER ON status). •...
Page 31
When the lock mechanism is activated, lift the unit by placing the hand under the unit and pull out. The lock is released. Hold the unit with both hands as shown in Fig. 1-6, and pull it slowly out of the slot. Attach the louver to the unit that you removed.
Setting the Frame Address A unique address must be assigned to all devices on the TP-BUS for the control unit to identify the unit frames connected to the TP-BUS. This address is called frame address. CAUTION • The frame address of the unit frame is set to 1 when it is shipped from the factory.
Page 33
Node number Unique numbers are assigned to the charge/discharge power supply units that are installed in the unit frame. This number is called node number. Node numbers are assigned according to the frame address and physical address as shown in Fig. 1-8. Physical address refers to the address that is determined by the slot position of the unit frame.
Page 34
Fig. 1-9 shows an example in which the maximum number of PFX2021 Charge/ Discharge Power Supply Units is connected to a single control unit. The maximum number of unit frames that can be connected to a single control unit is 12. The PFX2021 has one channel per unit. Therefore, the maximum number of channels that can be connected to a single control unit is 60.
You can connect 12 unit frames and one impedance measurement unit to the control unit. NOTE • The control unit is a dedicated controller for the PFX2000 Series. You cannot con- nect Kikusui power supplies (such as the PMR Series) with the TP-BUS interface and control them.

Turning On the Power There is no particular order for turning on the PFX2000 Series Battery Test System. You turn on any of the control units first or any of the unit frames first. This also holds true for a system that have the impedance measurement units connected. In addition, there is no particular order for shutting off the power to the system.
Connecting the Output Cables The package containing the unit frame does not include cables for connecting to the DUT (battery). Only plugs that comply with the output connector on the rear panel are included. Prepare the wires and tools described in this section to construct the output cables appropriate for the DUTs.
Page 46
Sensing wires, current wires, and preassembled output cables (see Fig. 2-3) are also available for purchase separately. If you require them, contact your Kikusui agent or distributor. Constructing output cables Construct output cables as shown in Fig. 2-3 using the wires that you prepared.

Appendix Measurement Function of the Charge/ Discharge Power Supply Unit This section describes the method and the characteristics of voltage and current measurement on the charge/discharge power supply unit. A.1.1 Overview This unit is equipped with a 26-kHz high-speed A/D converter with 24-bit resolu- tion for making measurements.
Page 88
■ Noise rejection and sampling interval On the voltage sensing line, there are various noise components that are superim- posed on the signal in addition to the DC voltage that needs to be measured. To minimize the effects of hum noise, this unit measures voltage in synchronization with the commercial power supply period as illustrated by Fig.

■ Measurements during pulse charge/discharge operation The measurement method during pulse charge/discharge operation differs between the PFX2011 and the PFX2021. PFX2011 During pulse charge/discharge operation, the unit makes measurements at the fol- lowing times. If the specified pulse time is greater than or equal to 1.5 ms, the current and then the voltage are measured immediately before the next current value is set as shown in Fig.
Page 91
PFX2021 As shown in Fig. A-7, voltage measurement and current measurement are per- formed independently at the same time regardless of the specified pulse time width. Pulse current integration Current large ↑ Pulse current waveform Current small ↓ Battery voltage waveform Voltage measurement point Fig.
Page 92
■ Pulse current measurement PFX2011 In pulse current measurement, each pulse current is measured and the average cur- rent is calculated over a unit time. IM1 • T1 + IM2 • T2 + IM3 • T3 + IM4 • T4 Average current = (Equation 1) Tave...
Page 93
NOTE • Points to note concerning the PFX2011 pulse current measurement • The calculation result of the average current is output after the relevant unit time for averaging has elapsed (this is also the same as the case shown in Fig. A-9). The average current calculation function of the unit is operating asynchronously with the period of the specified pulse waveform.

Page 95
■ Moving average process You can decrease the fluctuation of the measured value even further by performing moving average. The unit allows you to select the average count from n = 0 (OFF), 2, 4, and 8. Fig. A-13 shows an example of the moving average process when n is set to 4.
Power Regeneration Function The power consumption can be reduced on the PFX2021 system (combination of the PFX2021 and PFX2332) using the regeneration function. This function extracts a portion of the battery discharge power from a discharging charge/discharge power supply unit and uses the power to run the fan or to charge other batteries of other units in the same frame.
