Interface Pin 12 Pin 1 Pin 13 Pin 24 Figure 15 - J1/J2 Pin Locations 5.2.1 Modbus RS-485 The RS-485 interface requires three signals, “+” and “-” data signals and Ground. RS-485 is a multi-drop data bus; i.e. multiple devices can all tie directly onto the same physical signals. For proper signal integrity, the data bus must be terminated at both ends.
Interface 5 24 OzPCS #3 RS485 - RS485 5 23 Master Controller OzPCS #1 OzPCS #2 Figure 16 - 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 17.
Interface CAUTION The PCS’s internal bias supply is generated from the high voltage DC battery input. It is recommended 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.
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 6.2.4 Reactive Power Control The PCS provides the following methods for controlling reactive power to or from the grid: • 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 •...
Operation power absorbed from the grid (under-excited). This is a non-volatile register, and the last value written by the user will be retained when power cycling the PCS, and each time the PCS is turned on. 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 –...
Operation When decreasing the power factor setpoint (i.e. increasing reactive power), if the resulting reactive power is greater than the maximum reactive power value (VAR , REG 40272), it will be limited to VAR , the active power output will be reduced to maintain the specified power factor, and the AC Power Limit warning bit is set in REG 41756 –...
Operation Positive Power = Injected to Grid (over-excited) Voltage (% of V Negative Power = Absorbed from Grid (under-excited) Figure 23 - Volt/VAR Configuration 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.
Operation 6.2.4.4 Watt/VAR Control The PCS can be configured to inject or absorb reactive power as a function of its active power output. This behavior is implemented using a configurable array of up to ten Watt-VAR points that specify the desired piecewise linear characteristic. The Watt-VAR curve is created using the registers found in SunSpec Model 712, which is summarized in section 11.3.15.
Operation When operating in Watt-VAR 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 configurable using the associated Power Priority register in the curve settings. 6.2.5 Output Power and Current Limiting As discussed in the previous section, when the combined active and reactive power commands exceed the PCS’s maximum apparent power setting (VA...
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 one representing the “must trip” criteria and one representing the “momentary cessation” criteria. Figure 25 below shows a generic example of the trip and cessation curves. If the grid voltage/frequency exceeds the inner-most trip thresholds but has not yet exceeded the specified cessation or trip durations, i.e.
Operation 6.2.8.1 Low/High Voltage Ride Through The Low/High Voltage Ride Through (L/HVRT) “must trip” and “momentary cessation” curves are implemented using configurable arrays of X-Y points to allow the user to define multiple voltage/duration boundary conditions. Two different sets of curves are provided, one for low voltage conditions and one for high voltage conditions.
Page 54
Operation CAUTION The points in the voltage trip curve arrays must adhere to the following rules. Failure to meet these restrictions will result in an Invalid User Configuration fault. The offending table is reported in REG 41762 – User Configuration Error Status. •...
Operation Must Trip High Voltage Region High Voltage Region 1 Continuous Operating Region Low Voltage Region 1 Must Trip Low Voltage Low Voltage Region 2 Region 0.16 Time (sec) Figure 26 - Voltage Ride Through IEEE 1547-2018 Configuration For the “must trip” curves, if the LVRT or HVRT curves are disabled (REG 40520/40753), or if there is an error in the active curve points, the corresponding Default Grid High/Low Voltage Threshold registers (REG 41819/41820) will be used to define the immediate disconnect threshold.
Operation the registers found in the SunSpec “DER Low/High Frequency Trip” Models 709 and 710, respectively (see sections 11.3.12 and 11.3.13). See section 11.2, “SunSpec Curve-Based Register Models” for general information on creating and modifying curves. These models provide up to 12 points to create each curve. It is not required that all 12 points be defined and used - a separate register is used to specify the actual number of points defined in each array.

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 Low DC Voltage The PCS sets this flag if the DC voltage falls below the threshold specified by REG 41878 – DC Under Voltage Warning Threshold. The flag will remain set until the voltage rises above the warning threshold plus REG 41879 –...

Fault and Warning Conditions 7.1.15 Temperature Warning The PCS monitors several internal temperature sensors and will set this warning bit under various high and low temperature conditions. When this warning bit is set, REG 41764 – Temperature Status can be read to determine the source of the warning condition(s). Possible warning conditions are: •...
Fault and Warning Conditions 7.1.20 TVS Error The PCS uses an AC filter when connected to the AC line voltage. This filter contains transient voltage suppression (TVS) devices to protect the converter from voltage spikes that may occur on the AC terminals. The PCS monitors the health of these TVS devices to ensure that they are still working properly.
Fault and Warning Conditions this occurs, the PCS will only log the maximum allowable number of parameters. See section 9.1.2.2 for details on the number of allowable parameters to log versus sample rate. 7.1.28 High DC Link Voltage This warning flag indicates that the PCS’s internal DC link voltage is higher than the expected maximum value.
Fault and Warning Conditions Each fault condition is latched and reported in REG 41758 – PCS Fault Status. The PCS can also indicate the presence of a fault condition by asserting an isolated output signal any time one or more latched fault bits are present. See section 5.2.3 for details on how to configure the isolated outputs.
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/Under-Voltage The PCS provides fast hardware protection for DC over-voltage and under-voltage conditions. It also monitors the DC voltage and will fault if it falls outside the thresholds 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) software-based protection for the total combined link voltage. These bits are set any time one of these over voltage conditions occur. • DC Link Voltage Imbalance –This fault occurs if the difference between the top and bottom DC Link voltages exceed the maximum imbalance threshold.
Data Logging If the RTC backup battery is discharged, or if the date and/or time in the RTC are invalid, the PCS will assert the RTC Warning bit in REG 41756 – PCS Warning Status. The correct date and time can be loaded into the RTC as described in section 8.3. The RTC Warning bit will remain set until the PCS bias power is cycled.
Data Logging Event Data Logging The Event Data logging feature is intended to capture operating data leading up to, and shortly after an event.
