Phase I
Key Specs Operates between -10 and 80 degrees Celsius Protects against surges of 120 V MCU clock has a backup battery that can power the
MCU for 12 hours if power is lost Sends alarm to master device when power is lost Takes Ethernet input and gives Ethernet output Allows user to view and change networking
parameters Logs 20,000 events, even when power is lost, with
98% fidelity Records date and time of each event to millisecond
accuracy Notifies master device of all events with 95% fidelity

Power Subsystem
Power Supply Requirements
Takes in 24 V DC This supply is shared with other
components in the lift station control panel
This is a low voltage in comparison to other devices being used in industrial applications
The low voltage bypasses some of the testing requirements for meeting UL standards
Power Supply Requirements
Surge Protection Must handle currents up to 80 mA Must correct irregular voltages Multiple devices are connected in
a shunt configuration for combined benefits
Power Supply Requirements
Type of Device Lifetime-number ofsurges
Response Time
Transient Voltage Suppression Diode
- 1 ps
Metal Oxide Varistor 1000 surges 1 ns
Zener Diode infinite 1 us
Gas discharge tube 20 surges 5 us
Input Surge Protection
Power Supply Requirements
Must be fed through a DIN rail mount All devices in the lift station
control panel attach to one rail Mount also serves as chassis
ground for added surge protection
DC/DC Converter
Voltage is stepped down to 3.3 V and then fed to the power plane
To conserve power, a passive switching regulator was chosen
Our configuration is a common circuit with extensive application notes
Testing
Why do we test?
Testing
Power Up The three 7-segment LEDs must synchronously
display each number for 100 (+/- 25) milliseconds from 0-9 in ascending order within 2 seconds after power up.
The menu scroll LED must illuminate for 1 (+/- 0.1) second within 2 seconds after power up.
The value change LED must illuminate for 1 (+/- 0.1) second within 2 seconds after power up.
The power LED must illuminate within 1 second after power up.
Testing
Button Scroll When operating in menu scroll mode, the
three 7-segment LEDs must display the parameter number with the following format where XX is a parameter number between 00 and 99: P.XX.
The displayed parameter list must circle to the beginning of the list when cycled up at d.06
The displayed parameter list must circle to the end of the list when cycled down at E.01
Testing
Sleep/Wake The user interface LEDs must not remain
illuminated if all user interface inputs are inactive for 120 (+/- 2) seconds.
When in a state of inactivity, the unit must transition to a state of activity
The state of user action must be preserved when the user interface LEDs are extinguished due to inactivity.
The state of user action must be reinstated when the unit returns from an inactive state.
