SCS1000 and SCS3000 modules in parallel using the PDUSetup Software. Several outputs can be declared as a »team« via the configuration software. All load outputs of the SCS1000 and SCS3000 are internally short circuit and thermally protected and have additional SMD fuses on the PCB.
3.2 Physical inputs The SCS1000 and SCS3000 modules have inputs that can be used as digital or analogue inputs. The analogue inputs of the devices cover a voltage range of 0 – 32 VDC.
3.3 Communication interfaces 3.3.1 SCS1000-16 1 x CAN 2.0B, J1939 compatible For control and data transmission, as well as for configuration and firmware updates 3.3.2 SCS3000-… 3 x CAN 2.0B For control and data transmission (frames sent and received per selected CAN channel)
4. MOUNTING The device must be firmly mounted before connection of cables. Please use M6 (on the SCS1000) or M8 (on the SCS3000) mounting screws (tightening torque max. 6 Nm) for mounting via the through holes and M4 mounting screws (tightening torque max. 0.7 Nm) for mounting from the back.

»daisy chain« arrangement (Figure 3). Figure 3: CAN network The SCS1000 and SCS3000 have no integral CAN termination as standard. This could also be the case with devices made by other manufacturers. Please make sure to always provide sufficient CAN termination.
In 5 6.3 Integral electronic load protection, troubleshooting The intelligent SCS1000 and SCS3000 power distribution systems have an integral electronic load protection. In addition to disconnecting the individual load outputs in the event of an overcurrent or short circuit on the individual channel, this also includes the possibility of defining warning thresholds and implementing separate tripping characteristics for inrush currents.
The trip current and the trip time of the load protection can be set for each channel via PDUsetup. This also applies to the trip behaviour in the event of an inrush and the configuration of the warning thresholds. A tripping in case of undervoltage or too high board temperature is also configurable. After the error has been eliminated, the channels can be switched on again remotely.

The output is off. It is not tripped. State 1: "ON" The output is active. It may be fully on or driving a PWM signal (any non-zero PWM duty counts as active). Any configured inrush / soft start procedure has completed successfully. State 2: "INRUSH"...

configured soft start procedure completed successfully beforehand. State 104: "POWER V LOW" The output is inactive. It is tripped and will remain so until the trip is reset. The trip was caused by the main supply voltage dropping below the user-configurable minimum voltage conditions for this specific output - this should not be confused with the global output disable as mentioned above ("Main Power State").
7. PDUSETUP CONFIGURATION SOFTWARE The PDUsetup configuration software is used to create SCS1000 and SCS3000 configurations to control the behaviour of the modules. This is done with the help of a graphically displayed logic control. Figure 5 shows the general structure of the configuration interface, which is described in more detail in the following chapters.
7.1.2 Selection of CAN baud rate As PDU setup connects to the SCS1000 via CAN it claims the Peak adapter at start up. It is possible to choose the CAN baud rate manually or to enable automated CAN connect. Auto CAN will automatically listen to the CAN bus at different baud rates and pick the right one.
Figure 8: etaNetServer 7.1.3 Symbols The component bar on the left side of the interface shows all available schematic diagram symbols. These can be grabbed and dropped into the schematic diagram area with the mouse or inserted via the »Add« menu. 7.1.4 Schematic diagram The calibration schematic diagram can be divided into several pages to improve visibility.
Figure 9: Multiunit configuration 7.1.5 Device information Once a module is connected, device information is displayed on the right side of the screen. This includes the total current consumption, device temperature, voltage, »On time« and all other device messages (Figure 10). Figure 10: Device information...
7.2 Configuration file The calibration file is saved on the PC as .pdux file. It can be edited without a connected PDU. 7.2.1 PC To create a new configuration, select »File«, »New« and select the module version for which the programme is to be created.

Program a connected module with the created configuration by selecting »Device«, »Set«. The device to be programmed must be selected via the serial number, to assure that the correct device will be programmed in case more than one is connected.

Definition of a physical output as a PWM output. The analogue value present at the symbol input is used to set the duty cycle. The positive analogue value corresponds to the duty cycle in percent. The PWM frequency is set by default to the maximum possible frequency of the output (see SCS1000 and SCS3000 data sheet).
Page 39
PWM must not be used with capacitive loads, as this might cause a malfunction of the output driver, SOFT START (Capacitive) must be selected if the loads will be capacitive Low side pullup (only for low side outputs) Activation of the low side pull-up to 5 V. This is intended for PWM logic where an input requires a full signal. Status output Selection of the status output behaviour.

Trip The output triggers an error if the set trip current is exceeded for longer than the set time period. This switches off the faulty output. Turn on Mode Some specific kinds of loads might produce a significant inrush current. This peak might cause tripping of the outputs and therefore needs special handling.
Page 41
Figure 19: Capacitive soft start Inductive - for devices with high turn-on current that decays much more slowly (e.g. fans) - the dashed line on the expected/example current graph is "unconstrained current e.g. fan inrush”. The unit will use PWM for starting up the load and adapt the duty cycle based on current measurement. Soft start with PWM is ending as soon as 100% of the duty cycle is reached.

Retry-count / delay. Number of retries in case an output could not be turned on. Delay defines the delay time between retrying. Inrush time Definition of the inrush phase duration. This determines how long the higher inrush allowance is active. Inrush trip During the inrush phase (inrush time), the the higher inrush trip value applies, instead of the standard trip current.
PWR Volts Min Trip The output trips when the supply voltage falls below the defined voltage for the defined duration. This allows outputs with low priority to be switched off in favour of others in case of undervoltage. Fault trips can be reset with a 'circuit reset' (activating the RESET device (event-in symbol) in the configuration or switching the physical RESET pin) or by switching the supply on and off.

CAN baud rate Changing the baud rate of the CAN bus. For the SCS1000 chosen baud rate must match the baud rate set via »Device«, »Set SCS1000 Comms«. For the SCS3000 it must match the baud rate defined in the Power Config file.

Figure 24: Live monitoring 7.6.3 Expert Frequency Mode PDUsetup 2.15.1966 introduces variable schematic evaluation rates to both the SCS1000 and SCS3000 con- figurations. This allows choices to be made for reduced latency for particular control paths, potentially balanc- ing the increased processing load of those choices against increased latency for other paths. This affects hard input processing rates, logic component processing rates, and hard output processing rates.
Page 54
the case in previous releases. For minimum latency from input (whether hard input or soft input) through to output (whether hard output or soft output), the entire path should be at the same frequency. Anywhere that a value in the schematic moves between components at different frequencies, this will introduce additional latency.
8.2 SCS1000 Boot Code Update The SCS1000 boot code update is carried out via the CAN interface of the module. The boot code is upgraded using a command line utility. Prerequisites - A Peak PCAN USB CAN adapter - The required boot code update file (for example SCS1000-16HSBootV1-21.exe)
The default CAN baud rate of SCS1000 is 500 kbps. Example: SCS1000-16HSBootV1-21.exe 500000 When you see the message “Turn device on now”, switch on the SCS1000 (or switch it off and on again if already powered up). Then wait for the programming to complete.
Then wait for the programming to complete. 8.4 SCS1000 & SCS3000 Main Code Update The main code update on SCS1000 is carried out via the CAN interface of the module, whereas the main code update on SCS3000 is done via the Ethernet interface of the unit.
