CONTROLLER PSC 3
INTRODUCTION
The PSC 3 is a 3rd generation power system controller. This product is an optimum
solution for small to very large and complex power systems. It consists of a central
unit, which provides basic I/O periphery, and of a very robust and reliable CAN
standard based communication bus (IMBUS), providing easy expansion.
The front end modules are located close to the elements to be monitored. The
benefit is an easy wiring, which is perfect for expandable power systems with
decentralized distributions (BDFB) and batteries in separate rooms. The integrated
PLC offers the flexibility for monitoring and control of auxiliary devices, later
functions upgrade and system capacity expansions.
New enhanced system functions support the reduction of operating costs. The
battery management with regularly accomplished capacity tests is one of the key
factors for the availability of a power system. The PSC 3 allows remote alarming by
means of potential-free relay contacts or via modem or LAN / Ethernet. The SNMP
functionality offers enhanced remote alarming and is designed to work with SNMP
managers. An integrated web server offers a user friendly interface for detailed
monitoring and control with a standard web browser.

USER INTERFACE MODULE (UIM)

The user interface module (UIM) consists of a LCD, keypad, LED indication and a
buzzer. UIM serves for local visualization / modification of basic system parameters.
To configure a system, the WEB Graphic User Interface is necessary, here only a
sub set of the functionality is available. Up to 2 UIMs can be connected to the PSC 3
controller via IMBUS.
The menu structure described in this manual is not defined by the UIM but by the
PSC 3 controller (and its software version, of course).

Start Conditions
The UIM needs not to be configured at the PSC 3 controller
If 2 UIMs are used, different addresses must be set. Addresses 1 4 are

possible (DIP switch inside).
The UIM is powered by the IMBUS and starts its operation upon plugging it to the
IMBUS connector (See Figure 5). If the PSC 3 controller is running, it detects and
links the module. During the link operation the yellow COM LED (on the side) blinks.
If the module is not correctly linked, the COM LED continues blinking, else it turns to
permanent lit status.

Figure 10. Window structure.
7.3.1
Title Bar
The Title Bar is located on top of the page. It identifies the system and the user
logged in. Furthermore, it provides the logout link and an Update button, which
allows refreshing the entire screen at any time. The clock shows the time of the last
screen refresh.
If the LED's of the UIM and the Stop Alarms button have been configured (see
chapter 7.5.9.2.1), they are shown in the title bar as well.
7.3.2
Info Bar
The Info Bar displays two different types of information: The upper line (status)
shows system relevant information. It's not directly related to the graphical user
interface (GUI).
The lower line (message) is used for user assistance and it shows context
dependent information related to the latest GUI action if necessary or otherwise
appropriate.
7.3.3
Navigation Bar
The Navigation Bar on the left is used to navigate through the dialog pages. Use the
and to expand and collapse the desired menu. The browser Back and
Forward buttons should not be used (because these buttons do not send a
request back to PSC 3) and therefore screen updating is not guaranteed.
Each menu item is assigned with an access level. Therefore the number of menus
accessible depends on the access rights of the current user logged in.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
CONTROLLER PSC 3
If the menu is larger than the assigned frame, scroll bars appear. However, the
Home link at the top of the navigation bar will always be visible to bring you back
where you started after login.
7.3.4
Orientation Bar
The Orientation Bar shows where the dialog page on display is located within the
menu. Furthermore, pressing the opens a new browser window with online help
information to the current dialog. This window shows detailed information about the
parameters you see on the screen. Since these help pages are part of the PSC 3
software they are always up to date, even after a software upgrade.
7.3.5
Dialog Area
The dialog area contains the actual application data. The basic structure between
different dialog areas is the same (see Figure 11).
Each dialog is identified by its name, displayed on the dark gray title bar. The title is
followed by the content area which is, of course, different for each dialog and may
contain parameters and, if necessary, buttons associated with certain parameters.
At the bottom, there is always a command button row. It always shows at least one
button - the "Reload" button - for manually updating the page.
If there are editable elements on a dialog page, additional buttons appear. The
decision whether a displayed value is editable or not, depends on the access rights
of the user. Therefore the user access level is compared with the access right of the
parameter before it will be displayed. Furthermore, this property may also be
manipulated by the context of the application and the dialog. The same is true for
disabling elements, especially buttons.
The footer is displayed below the button row with one link to the top of the page and
one to call the home page.
