Specifications Temperature Based Power Derating The PCS can be ordered with two different fan orientations: one for front-to-back airflow and one for back-to-front. The recommended configuration is the front-to-back airflow option as this provides better cooling for the PCS’s internal components. The back-to-front model is available for end systems that are constrained to airflow in this direction, however this comes at the expense of reduced operating temperature range.

Specifications In general, the temperature rise through the unit is less than 10°C up to 50% power and less than 20°C when operating between 50% and rated power. For the purpose of determining external ambient temperature using the data log measurements, a 10°C rise is assumed for 50% power or less, and a 20°C rise is assumed for greater than 50% power.
Specifications AC Voltage Based Power Derating The chart below illustrates the power derating at low AC line voltages based on the maximum AC current rating. When operating in Grid Tie mode, the PCS will automatically limit the AC power based on the derating curve and will assert the AC Current Limit warning flag whenever the commanded power is being limited to a lower value as a result of this current limit.

Notice: Retain the packaging material! Proper packaging, including internal cushioning and palletization, is required to maintain warranty coverage on any unit returning to Oztek. 1. Using the provided packing list, verify that the model received corresponds to that ordered and inspect the packaging for any signs of shipping damage. Immediately seek assistance from the freight carrier for any visible signs that the packaging or product has been damaged.
The unused mounting holes can be ignored, as they do not impact mechanical integrity of the enclosure. 5. User supplied bolts which penetrate the enclosure beyond 7mm will void the product warranty. Oztek strongly recommends using the supplied hardware to install rack support brackets and mounting ears. CAUTION Do not carry or lift the OZpcs-RS40 by the mounting ears.
4. Ensure that adequate spacing is provided from both the rear and front panels of the unit such that ventilation airflow is not obstructed. Oztek requires 40 mm (1.6”) minimum clearance front and back, with greater than 50 mm (2.0”) recommended.
Installation 4.2.1 DC Connection DANGER High voltage may cause severe personal injury or death. Avoid contact with electrical terminals. De-Energize all sources before servicing. CAUTION The OZpcs-RS40 does not include overcurrent protection on the DC input. The customer is required to provide adequate overcurrent protection external to the PCS. CAUTION The DC inputs are intended to float and must not be referenced to earth ground.

Connect the negative and positive cables to the DC terminal block as shown in Figure 14. Connections should be tightened to a specified torque of 2.8 Nm (25 in-lb) +/- 5%.
Installation 1. For all AC cable connections, use a minimum 4 AWG copper wire that is designed for +90 °C (+194 °F). Notice: Ambient Temperature The higher the ambient temperature the higher the power losses. Use cables having larger cross-sections in installations with high ambient temperatures. 2.
Installation 4.2.3 Low Voltage I/O Figure 16 - Low Voltage I/O Connections All isolated, low voltage I/O signals are provided on a standard High Density, D-Sub, 15-pin, female connector (J1). A second connector (J2) with an identical pin-out is provided to allow for daisy-chaining paralleled units, as well as terminating the Modbus data link.
Interface Interface Visual Indicators Figure 17 - Visual Indicators The PCS includes 4 LED’s on the front panel to indicate operating status. Table 5 defines the meaning of each LED for normal operation while Table 6 defines their meaning when the bootloader is running during firmware updates.
Interface 5 10 Master Controller OzPCS #3 RS485-B RS485-A 5 10 OzPCS #1 OzPCS #2 Figure 18 - Modbus Serial Interface Wiring 5.2.2 Inputs The PCS provides three, opto-isolated, discrete inputs. The Emergency Stop and DIN inputs are designed such that they can be directly driven with voltages from 5 up to 32V as illustrated in Figure 19.
Interface CAUTION The PCS’s internal bias supply is generated from the high voltage DC battery input. The user should ensure that the battery voltage remains present while the Bias On/Off input is asserted, as well as for the brief shutdown period after this pin is deasserted. Disconnecting the battery input while Bias On/Off is asserted will cause the internal bias supply to turn off immediately, bypassing any power-down housekeeping tasks, and possibly resulting in the loss of accumulated datalogging information!
Operation Grid Tie Operating Mode When configured to operate in Grid Tie mode (see REG 41747 and REG 41813), the PCS provides bi-directional, active and reactive (P/Q) power control to the grid. Assuming the grid is present and within specification, the PCS will connect and accept power commands from the user.
Operation 6.2.2 Enabling Service When configured for Grid Tie mode, the PCS uses the standard SunSpec “Enter Service” register model to determine if and when the PCS is allowed to operate into the grid (see section 11.3.6 for register details). When REG 40294 –...
Operation The Enter Service Delay Time and Enter Service Random Delay can be bypassed by setting the respective register value to zero. 6.2.3 Active Power Control Active power is directly controlled by writing the desired power, as a percentage of the maximum output power (W , REG 40266), to REG 40339 –...
Operation implemented using a configurable array of Volt-Watt points that specify the desired piecewise linear characteristic. This curve must contain a minimum of two points, or up to a maximum of ten points. The Volt-Watt curve is created using the registers found in SunSpec Model 706, which is summarized in section 11.3.9.
Operation CAUTION For the Volt-Watt curve, the voltage of each consecutive point in the curve must be higher than the previous point. Failure to meet this requirement will result in the curve being disabled, an Invalid User Configuration fault will be asserted in REG 41758 – PCS Fault Status, and the Volt-Watt Curve Error will be reported in REG 41762 –...
Operation For low frequency conditions, the controller behaves similarly except that once the frequency is less than the under-frequency deadband threshold below F , the pre-disturbance power setpoint is linearly increased as the frequency continues to drop, and the change in active power is based on the under-frequency change ratio (k ).
Operation • Constant Reactive Power – reactive power is directly controlled from a user-specified setpoint • Power Factor Control – reactive power is controlled based on the user-specified power factor and the present active power output • Volt/VAR Control – reactive power is controlled as a function of the measured grid voltage •...
Operation When changing the reactive power setpoint, or when enabling/disabling constant reactive power control while the PCS is operating, the reactive power will be ramped at a rate defined by REG 40362 – Reactive Power Ramp Rate. When operating in this mode and the combined active and reactive power commands exceed the maximum apparent power setting (VA , REG 40271), the active versus reactive power priority is determined by REG 40348 –...
Operation power value (VA , REG 40271) both will be proportionally reduced such that the resulting combined apparent power is VA , the desired power factor is maintained, and the AC Power Limit warning will be set. 6.2.4.3 Volt/VAR Control To support grid voltage stabilization during over-voltage and under-voltage conditions, the PCS may be optionally configured to automatically generate reactive power commands based on the average of the three grid voltages measured at the PCS terminals.
Operation When the Volt-VAR function is enabled (REG 40380), the reactive power setpoint will follow the specified Volt-VAR curve by comparing the measured grid voltage against a reference voltage ) and determining how much reactive power to inject or absorb from the grid. By default, is set to the nominal grid voltage (V ) specified in REG 40278.
Operation When the result is a non-zero reactive power command, the Watt-VAR Active warning bit will be asserted in REG 41756 – PCS Warnings. Reactive Power (% of VAR Injected (over-excited) (P1,Q1) Active Power (% of W (P3,Q3) (P5,Q5) Absorbed Injected (P2,Q2) (P4,Q4)
This droop gain is configured in REG 41835 – Voltage Unbalance Droop Gain. When enabling unbalance voltage compensation Oztek recommends using the default control and droop gains. If necessary, contact Oztek technical support to discuss systems that require changes from these default settings.
Operation The negative sequence current command from the voltage unbalance controller is considered a secondary support feature of the PCS, and as such, the positive sequence current command from the user’s power setpoints and other grid support functions is given priority over the negative sequence current.
Operation If the voltage/frequency exceeds the “must trip” curve’s threshold and duration (shown with red lines), i.e. crosses the red line into the pink region, the PCS will trip off and go to the Offline state, or immediately go to the Fault state if REG 41825 – Auto-Resume Timeout is set to zero.

Operation 6.3.1 Initiating Grid Forming Operation Similar to Grid Tie operation, when first powered up in Grid Forming mode, the PCS’s internal DC and AC contactors are both open. Prior to operating the PCS, it must first be commanded to close these contactors by first writing a “1”...
Operation 6.3.2 Parallel Black Start The local microgrid can be black started by multiple PCS units operating in parallel. To do so, they all need to be started at the exact same point in time. In order to meet this requirement, all PCS units must be tied to the same physical RS-485 serial bus, and the dedicated Modbus broadcast device address of zero must be used when turning the PCS on (writing a “3”...
For systems where multiple PCS units are operated in parallel, or in conjunction with other distributed sources, Oztek recommends using the default droop gains and virtual impedances. If necessary, contact Oztek technical support to discuss systems that require changes from these default settings.

Operation 6.5.1 Initialize The state machine resets to the Initialize state following a power-on-reset (POR) event. The firmware is initializing hardware peripherals, configuring variables, and performing self-health tests while in this state. Upon successful initialization, the PCS will auto-transition to the Calibrate state.
Operation voltage rises above this level or falls below the fault threshold, causing the PCS to go to the Fault state. 6.5.6 Standby Once in the Standby state the PCS is ready for use. An “Exit Standby” command (REG 41743 – Set Operation = 3) must be sent to turn on the PCS, at which point it will transition to the Turn- On Delay state and then to either Online –...
Operation PCS will remain in this state indefinitely until an “Enter Standby” command (REG 41743 – Set Operation = 2) or a “Stop” command (REG 41743 – Set Operation = 0) is received. The PCS may transition from this state to the Online – Grid Tie state if seamless transfers are enabled and the Island Control input pin has commanded a mode change due to the utility grid returning to acceptable conditions –...
Operation 6.5.13 Island Transfer Wait If the PCS is configured to allow seamless transfers from Grid Tie to Grid Forming mode (see REG 42231 – Island Control Input Pin Configuration) and is operating in Grid Tie mode and is about to go Offline due to abnormal grid conditions, it will first transition to this state. The PCS waits in this state to see if the island control pin is about to command a mode change to Grid Forming mode.
Fault and Warning Conditions 6.5.16 Shutdown The Shutdown state is entered whenever the Bias On/Off discrete input (section 5.2.2.2), is de- asserted. While in the Shutdown state, the PCS performs various housekeeping tasks before finally disabling the bias supply and shutting itself down. If the PCS happens to be operating, or in any state other than Fault, Disabled, or Service Disabled when the Bias On/Off input is de-asserted, the system will automatically sequence to Disabled before transitioning to Shutdown.
Fault and Warning Conditions 7.1.4 Loss of Phase The PCS monitors the zero crossings for each of the three AC line voltages and will set this warning flag any time a zero crossing does not occur on one or more of the three phases within the period specified by REG 41818 –...
Fault and Warning Conditions line cycles or longer will result in hardware over-current faults and will cause the PCS to immediately turn off, disconnect, and transition to the Fault state. 7.1.9 Grid Out of Tolerance (OOT) This bit is set whenever the PCS is offline due to the grid being out of tolerance, as defined in section 6.2.2.
Fault and Warning Conditions 7.1.15 High DC Voltage The PCS sets this flag if the DC voltage exceeds the threshold specified by REG 41881 – DC Over Voltage Warning Threshold. The flag will remain set until the voltage falls below the warning threshold less REG 41882 –...
Fault and Warning Conditions 7.1.22 Frequency-Watt Active This warning flag is asserted any time the Frequency Droop grid support function is enabled and is presently overriding the user’s active power command due to a grid over or under-frequency condition. 7.1.23 Limit Active Power This warning flag is asserted any time REG 40325 –...
Fault and Warning Conditions timer-based, and this fault will occur if the current exceeds the threshold for more than 5 seconds. 7.2.2 AC Over-Voltage AB, BC, CA The PCS monitors the AC RMS line-to-line voltage for phases AB, BC, and CA, and will fault if any of the voltages exceed the threshold specified by REG 41874 –...
7.2.9 Invalid Model This bit is set if the loaded product configuration is not compatible with the PCS Model. Please consult Oztek for the proper configuration file. 7.2.10 H/W and S/W DC Over-Voltage The PCS provides fast hardware protection for DC over-voltage conditions. It also monitors the DC voltage and will fault if it exceeds the threshold specified by REG 41880 –...
PCS or if very abnormal conditions occur outside the PCS. If the PCS is consistently reporting any of these conditions, contact Oztek technical support to discuss the appropriate course of action. Each of the factory faults is briefly described below in order to assist in this discussion.
Real Time Clock (RTC) contactor. If the rectified line voltage is higher than the internal link voltage when attempting to close the AC contactor, large inrush currents and/or a DC link over-voltage could occur. The PCS’s AC contactor controls will prevent closing the AC contactor under these conditions and will set this fault bit to indicate that this has occurred.

Data Logging 9.1.2 User Events User Event data logging is intended to capture operating data leading up to and/or after a configurable trigger event. The data logging parameters defined in Table 12 are available for capture. The selected parameters are sampled at the user configured sampling rate and continuously buffered to RAM.
Data Logging If REG 42103 - User Log Sample Period = 10msec, then 159.36 seconds worth of data will be captured. If a 1 second sample period were used instead, then 4 hours, 25 min, and 36 secs of data would be captured. The user can also configure how much of the log is dedicated to post trigger information using REG 42102- User Log Post Trigger Percentage.
Data Logging The value in REG 42111(42117) - User Log Trigger1(2) Value Mask is bitwise AND’ed with the selected variable. The main purpose of this register is to allow selection of a bit within a bitfield register as the trigger source. For example, the H/W DC Over Voltage fault is bit 10 of the PCS Faults Status register.
