Industrial Monitoring Systems

Description

The ‘monitoring systems’ are used to gather data from the system and displayed to the operator and used to generate alarms/indicators and ensure the operator can make real-time decisions based on live/accurate data.

Each monitoring system is designed and manufactured to the customer’s specific requirements.

Our monitoring systems use a range of different protocols.

The primary functions of the BMS are:

• Monitoring individual battery blocks
• Controlling the battery charging process
• Switching off battery isolators
• Displaying system parameters and alarms
• Communicating system status and parameters to client’s PCS

information available for operator viewing on the HMI:

• Battery block parameters (this can be done for each block/battery/cell)
• Battery unit voltage
• Battery unit current
• Solar array voltage/current for each solar charge controller
• Battery charger output voltage/current for each battery charger
• System 24Vdc DB voltage
• System 24Vdc Motor DB current
• Alarm list showing any alarm and the time it occurred.
• Fault list showing any fault and the time it occurred.
• Temperature
