Port Name
Function
External
Manage network traffic external to the Multi-Stack Controller. Operator
Interface is accessed from this port.
Internal
Manage traffic from battery management system stacks.
Figure 7
is an image of the MSC front panel, pointing out the different types of ports the Multi-Stack
Controller supports:
▪
4x internal Ethernet ports at 10/100/1000 Mbps (ports 1-4)
▪
1x internal Ethernet port at 1/10 Gbps (port 5)
▪
1x internal SFP+ port at 1/10 Gbps (port 6)
▪
1x external Ethernet port at 1/10 Gbps (port 7)
▪
1x external SFP+ port at 1/10 Gbps (port 8)
Depending on the Multi-Stack Controller variant purchased, you may also use an external unmanaged
network switch to connect more than 4 Stack Switchgear products to the Multi-Stack Controller.
The external and internal networks of the Multi-Stack Controller should remain
separated and independent for the best operation of the battery pack. Excessive
network traffic on the internal network can interfere with the Multi-Stack Controller
management of the stacks.
4.2.3. Step 2: Connect External Network or System
The Ethernet RJ45 port labelled 7 or the SFP+ port labelled 8 may be used to connect the Multi-Stack
Controller to an external system, such as:
▪
Energy control systems, such as power conversion systems and energy controllers
▪
A laptop, to configure operating parameters and observe status
▪
A local area network (LAN) connection, for wired internet access
▪
An Ethernet switch, to access any number of the above devices
The External Ethernet interface is a standard Cat5e-rated RJ45 jack, supporting only 1 and 10 Gigabit
