Introduction
Overview
The Pulsar Edge family of controllers is part of the Pulsar family of power system controllers that
includes Pulsar Plus and Pulsar Edge controllers.
Pulsar Edge controllers were developed to be integrated into the power shelves of the Compact Power
Line (CPL), Slimline Power Systems (SPS), CPS6000 Series II power systems, Infinity NE group of
shelves, and GCP group of shelves.
These controllers were developed for both indoor and outdoor cabinet power applications.
The modular hardware and software design of the Pulsar Edge allows for easy customization for
specific applications.
Controllers provide control and alarm monitoring functions over several communication interfaces
including a standard RS-485 digital serial interface that interconnects system rectifiers, converters,
and other peripherals. Compatible rectifiers include NE, CP, NP, EP, and IP series.
Local and remote access is provided.
Features are factory configured to industry standard defaults to minimize the setup process in the
field. Customer specified factory default configuration is also available.
