OPERATION MANUAL FOR PCS100HV 4. System Configuration PCS SHOULD be configured before any other operation. Here the configurations are divided to following groups, Installation configuration, Ratings & Run Mode, Grid Code & Protection, System Clock & Communication, and Battery Info. If no action is done, factory default settings would be applied.
OPERATION MANUAL FOR PCS100HV 4.1. Installation Configuration In this part, we mainly pay attention to system configurations linked with installation. For example, how many PCSs are installed, , Basic communication parameters like IP address, baud rate and etc. Before configuration, please check the system configuration documents.

Page 34
OPERATION MANUAL FOR PCS100HV 1. All PCSs ID are set through hardware switch, refer to the chapter “ID setting switches” of PCS100HV-IM.pdf for how to set. 2. For parallel system mode, only the register [0610] need to be configured one by one. Except the configured PCS can be powered on, the other PCS need to be powered off.
The AC output terminals of PCS100HV is 3 phase 4 wire, including a neutral line, and PCS100HV can connected to a TN system with neutral line grounded or to a IT system without neutral line. But the neutral line output of PCS100HV will not be grounded by PCS itself. In grid-tied mode, the neutral line should be grounded by utility grid.
And also check to make sure the battery system is powered on and battery system output switch is in closed state. Ethernet communication port (CNS4) of PCS100HV shall be connected to EMS or upper level controller or site controller to establish the communication link.

Figure 5-1 AC and DC disconnects ON location Step 3: set the correct IP address (Default:192.168.1.136) and port number (502) and start communicating with PCS100HV. Step 4: configure and confirm the right operation mode (Grid-tied mode) and parameters by following the below table via upper level controller.
Page 38
OPERATION MANUAL FOR PCS100HV Step 5: after completing the configuration, check whether PCS100HV is “Standby” status, if it is, the upper level controller sends “Power ON” command to PCS100HV. PCS will synchronize with grid. Step 6: when PCS100HV enters the “Normal” status, the upper level controller sends “Reactive Power” or/and “Active Power” command to PCS100HV, it will output the corresponding power to the grid.
Page 39
Step 1: the upper level controller sets “Reactive Power” or/and “Active Power” command to 0, and PCS out power will become to 0. Step 2: the upper level controller sends “Power OFF” command to PCS100HV, PCS100HV will stops running and enters the “Standby” status.

OPERATION MANUAL FOR PCS100HV 7.2. Clear Faults Command [WHEN NEED] EMS need to send “Clear faults” command to reset the all fault words to “0” in order to clear the unrecoverable faults. ADDR ADDR TYPE DEFINITION DESCRIPTION Unit Default (HEX)
OPERATION MANUAL FOR PCS100HV 7.3. Heartbeat Signal[PERIODIC] The EMS needs to send a heartbeat signal to the PCS every 2s. The PCS will continue to detect whether the heartbeat signal has changed within 10s. If the heartbeat signal remains unchanged, a communication exception fault will be triggered and the PCS will stop running.
1: Fault Clear Command EMS need to write “1” to the register[0x0001] of PCS100HV local controller, then PCS100HV will send BMS ON command to the BMS to TURN ON the battery system. And write “2” to TURN OFF the battery system.
2. The “BMS OFF” command is only available when PCS100HV is “Standby” status. 8.2.2. Clear BMS Fault EMS need to write “1” to the register[0x0002] of PCS100HV local controller when BMS is failure, then PCS100HV will send reset fault command to the BMS to clear fault through Modbus TCP.
OPERATION MANUAL FOR PCS100HV 8.2.3. Protection Parameters Configuration If the battery system is included in the system, some protection parameters need to be set before using it.
