FD-BC01

Power Supply controller – 6 units DIN rail

Functional characteristics

FD-BC01 is a main power and battery control module belonging to the Orangelink family, with the following characteristics:
•  Designed for mounting on DIN rails
•  Capable of delivering 12V 5A to the field
•  Battery disconnection at 10V for overload protection
•  Output can be connected in parallel with other power supplies
•  Capable of monitoring all the electrical parameters of the battery, including battery efficiency tests
•  Capable of routing up to 64 devices on RS485
•  Visual On/Off indicator for main power supply
•  Fault and/or overload indicator
•  Connection to FD-BUS through an RJ45 connection
•  Predisposition for branching of the FD BUS data connection between pairs of connectors by means of jumpers

Protection

The equipment is protected against the following events:
•  polarity reversal on the cables (RJ45) connecting to the FD-BUS
•  voltage surge in the power supply
•  battery short circuit

Modes of Operation

FD-BC01 can supply power to up to 4 Orangelink system backbones:
•  Each FD-BUS-A/B and FD-BUS C/D pair can be set individually to bypass or open mode
•  In bypass mode, the data lines of the FD-BUS pair are interconnected so as to form a single backbone
•  In open mode, the data lines of the FD-BUS pair are separated so as to form 2 independent backbones

Visual indicators

The FD-BC01 can give signals to the user by the following means:
•  red LED
•  yellow LED
•  green LED
•  buzzer

The most common indications are as follows:
•  Green LED, lit steadily when main power is On
•  Green LED, flashing when main power is Off
•  Red LED, flashing in the event of overload (overvoltage, intensive charge)
•  Red LED, lit steadily in the event of a fault (no voltage at output) or if power is about to go off
•  Yellow LED, flashing during communication (one flash for each message sent)
•  Active buzzer for indicating a battery fault
