¶ Discharging Settings
Technician admin screen for the WatchMon supervisor hardware to configure the discharging control logic.
This screen is accessed via the Control Logic option on the Menu, then choosing the Discharging tab. Editing only available when in Technician mode.
¶ Edit Mode Overview
- Adjust the control parameter to suit the ESS application.
- Save
- Monitor using the telemetry and chart screens.
¶ Field Definitions
-
¶ Discharging- Overall State
Depending on state will engage or disengage the relay (and/or communicate with the remote charger equipment). The thresholds are the operating parameters used for the battery.
-
¶ ON
-
¶ OFF
-
¶ LIMP (Limited Power)
-
¶ ON transitioning to OFF
The state is currently ON however the rules will switch OFF if the state continues for threshold stop period. -
¶ OFF transitioning to ON
The state is currently OFF however the rules will switch ON if the elapsed restart interval has occurred.
-
-
¶ Discharging - Operating Mode:
-
¶ Allow Limited
Will enable the limited power mode of operation to ensure limited discharging mode when cells are in a low state of charge (SoC%) or voltage threshold.
-
¶ Cell Low Cutout (CV3)
Cell voltage that if below will stop the discharging process state, when monitoring is enabled.
-
¶ Cell Low Resume (CV4)
Cell voltage that if above will resume / restart the discharging process state, when monitoring is enabled.
-
¶ Limited Power Cell Volt (CV6)
Cell voltage that when below will put the system is into limited power mode, hence remove non critical loads or run in limp mode for discharge, only available with Limited Power enabled.
-
¶ Low Cell Celcius (CT2)
Cell temperature threshold that is OK to operate, if below will stop the discharging state when monitoring is enabled.
-
¶ Hi Cell Celcius (CT7)
Cell temperature threshold that is OK to operate, if above will stop the discharging state when monitoring is enabled.
-
¶ Low Ambient (BT2)
WatchMon supervisor temperature threshold that is OK to operate, if below will stop the discharging state when monitoring is enabled.
-
¶ Hi Ambient (BT7)
WatchMon supervisor temperature threshold that is OK to operate, if above will stop the discharging state when monitoring is enabled.
-
¶ Delay transition - Stop
Ensures that the state change from ON to OFF must exceed beyond the period specified in seconds.
-
¶ Delay transition - Restart
Ensures that the state change from OFF to ON must exceed beyond the period specified in seconds.
-
¶ Shunt Low Cutout (QV2)
Shunt voltage that if below will stop the discharging process state, when monitoring is enabled.
-
¶ Shunt Low Resume (QV3)
Shunt voltage that if above will resume / restart the discharging process state, when monitoring is enabled.
-
¶ Limited Power Shunt Volt (QV5)
Shunt voltage that when below will put the system is into limited power mode, hence remove non critical loads or run in limp mode for discharge, only available with limited power enabled.
-
¶ SoC% Low Cutout (QC1)
Shunt state of charge (SoC%) threshold that if below will stop the discharging process state, when monitoring is enabled.
-
¶ SoC% Low Resume (QC7)
Shunt state of charge (SoC%) threshold that if above will resume / restart the discharging process state, when monitoring is enabled.
-
¶ Supply Low Cutout (BS2)
WatchMon supply voltage that if below will stop the discharging process state, when monitoring is enabled.
-
¶ Supply Low Resume (BS3)
WatchMon supply voltage that if above will resume / restart the discharging process state, when monitoring is enabled
¶ Action Button / Process Link Events
-
¶ Status RX
Flashes as status telemetry is received (hover over will display time received).
-
¶ Setup RX
Flashes when setup configuration is received (hover over will display time received).
-
¶ Edit Button
This button opens fields to editing, only available when in Technician mode.
-
¶ Undo
Restores values to last saved values and returns to read only mode.
-
¶ Save
Saves values into system and return to read only mode. This only works when connected by a USB. If saving whilst connected via WiFi the following Error message appears.
-
¶ Default
Restore values to default.
-
