Power Entry Panel

Figure Callout	Description	Use
1	Protective Earthing Ground Stud	Provides internal grounding plate connections with the external grounding lug for all rack mount equipment. High levels of leakage current may be present on the measurement rack. Connect the measurement rack to the protective earth terminal before connecting to AC power. Refer to the BTS-16101 Battery Test System Measurement Rack Safety, Environmental, and Regulatory Information document for specifications for protective earth terminal wiring. Note The facility installation shall provide a means for connection to protective earth, and qualified personnel shall install a protective earthing conductor from the BTS-16101 protective earthing terminal to the protective earth wire in the facility.
2	Power Inlet Connector	Provides a low power (IEC 60320 C20) power entry.
3	Main Breaker (CB Outlet)	Provides circuit protection as a main breaker by controlling whether AC power will be allowed into the rack. If the Main Breaker switch is off, the rack cannot be powered on.
4	Ethernet Port	Facilitates network connectivity to internal equipment. The Gigabit Ethernet port connects to the cRIO-9047 controller.
5	USB 3.0 Ports (x2)	Provides access to extension cables within the rack. The internal USB extension cables ship unterminated for user-customizable connection to internal equipment. Use the USB cables that are included in the kit for external connection.
6	DC Output to EPO Panel	Provides DC power and inhibit control to/from the EPO panel.
7	Output Connector	Provides AC output to the uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
8	Grounding Plate	Provides a connection point for the measurement rack ground.

The PEP also includes a line filter for EMI protection within the system.

Emergency Power Off Panel

When a test system encounters a serious issue or an emergency is taking place in the facility, operators need the ability to quickly and cleanly power off the test system. The emergency power off (EPO) panel mechanisms are included on the measurement rack to simplify connectivity and inhibit power switching.

Operators can use the EPO to reset a system in an error state, prevent damage to a DUT, or prevent harm to themselves.

Figure Callout	Description	Use
1	Main Power Switch	Provides the primary way of controlling whether the system is active. It toggles between two positions—Standby () and On (). Learn more about these states in Measurement Rack Power States.
2	Temperature Controller (AutomationDirect SL4824-RR-D)	Measures temperature based on the location of the attached thermocouple. Notice When temperature setpoint is reached, the temperature controller does not move the system into a shutdown state.
3	Emergency Power Off Button	Provides a way to control whether the system is powered. The following behavior occurs when you press the EPO button: The EPO immediately cuts AC power from the power entry panel (PEP) and power distribution unit (PDU) when a user or system monitor recognizes an unacceptable operating condition. The uninterruptible power supply (UPS) remains powered so that the measurement instruments in the rack continue logging data. DC power is passing out of the PEP and into the thermostat EPO panel, as described in Measurement Rack Power States. The remote EPO connector is triggered to move external equipment to an EPO state, as described in Remote EPO Connector. To release the EPO button after it is pressed, rotate it clockwise.

Measurement Rack Power States

Table 3. Measurement Rack States of Operation
Power State	PEP	PDU	UPS	Temperature Controller
Off	Off	Off	Off	Off
Standby	On (AC)	Off	Off	On
EPO	DC only	Off	On	On
Remote EPO	On (AC)	Off	On	On
On	On (AC)	On	On	On

Table 4. Power State Descriptions
Power State	Description	Action
Off	The system is entirely disabled with no power passing through the line filter or any internal test system components.	To enter Off state: Switch the main breaker (CB outlet) on the power entry panel (PEP) to the OFF position. Disconnect MAINs power from the PEP. To exit Off state, follow the process in Powering on the System.
Standby	Power to the power distribution unit (PDU) and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is shut off. Power is passing out of the PEP and into the thermostat emergency power off (EPO) panel.	To enter Standby state: Move the main power switch on EPO panel to the Standby () position. Safety shutoff thermostats on fan panel detect an unsafe air exit temperature. To exit Standby state, move the main power switch to the ON () position.
EPO	Immediately cuts AC power from the PEP and PDU. The UPS remains powered so that the measurement instruments in the rack continue logging data. DC power passes out of the PEP and into the thermostat EPO panel. Entering this state also triggers the remote EPO connector, which, when connected to an external safety loop, automatically shuts off external equipment.	To enter EPO state, press the EPO button. To exit EPO state, turn clockwise to release the EPO button.
Remote EPO	Immediately cuts power from the PDU. The UPS remains powered so that the measurement instruments in the rack continue logging data. Power passes out of the PEP and into the thermostat EPO panel.	The system enters Remote EPO state when other equipment connected to an external safety loop through the remote EPO connector enter an EPO state. The system exits Remote EPO state after the external instrument exits its EPO state. The rack switches into its previous state.
On	A change to this state begins the main power on sequence of the test system. The PDU receives AC power through the UPS from the PEP and enables outlets to other system equipment. The EPO panel is powered.	To enter the On state, follow the process in Powering on the System.

Connecting Power and Powering Up

Refer to AC MAINs Cables for information about connecting power to the rack. Refer to Powering on the System for information about powering up the system.

Power Distribution Unit

A power distribution unit (PDU) takes an input power signal and distributes it to several outlets that can power components of the system. These internal power outlets from the PDU have a rated voltage and current for both alternating and direct current.

The measurement rack features a single-phase PDU that supports global voltages (100 V to 240 V, 50 Hz to 60 Hz) and has a 20 A (IEC C19) input connector which cables directly to the uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

Refer to the MPD 41145X Family Product Manual, which ships with the Battery Test System, for more information about the PDU.

Uninterruptible Power Supply

Use the uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to power critical components in your system during power loss, brownouts, EPO state, and during normal operation.

The UPS delivers power with a dependable voltage and current supply. It acts as a battery power supply after a power outage or significant brownout. The UPS is available as the following model options:

APC SRT 2200XLA—120 V
APC SRT 2200XLI—240 V

Refer to the APC UPS Operation Manual, which ships on disc with the Battery Test System, for more information about the UPS.

Powering On/Off the UPS

PS-16 Power Supply

The PS-16 is located in the primary drawer in the measurement rack and powers the following components:

cRIO-9047 controller
Measurement rack internal Ethernet switch
cDAQ-9189 chassis
cRIO-9805 Ethernet switches
NI-XNET (CAN/LIN) C Series modules
Serial C Series modules

The PS-16 can also power remote temperature input devices in your system.

DC Power Fuse

The DC power fuse in the primary and secondary drawer provide protection for your system components from short circuits. When a fuse opens, all instruments connected to the terminal block in a drawer—cRIO-9047, cDAQ-9189, all C Series modules, cRIO-9805, GPIB-RS232, and FieldDAQ devices—lose power.

The DC power fuse is a Schurter 8020.50755 A, 500 V AC(6.3×32 mm)fast-acting fuse.

Measurement Rack Ethernet Networking

The measurement rack contains up to three Ethernet switches to network the components in your system:

Ethernet Switch—The 16-port Moxa Ethernet switch provides networking connection between the cRIO-9047 controller and RMX-4101 power supplies. Refer to the EDS-205A/208A Series Quick Installation Guide, which ships with the Battery Test System, for more information.
cRIO-9805—Up to two, four-port TSN-enabled Ethernet switches provide time-sensitive networking (802.1AS) connection between the cRIO-9047 controller, cDAQ-9189 chassis, and FieldDAQ devices enabling sub-microsecond-level synchronization between measurement I/O devices.

Figure 11. Ethernet Networking Block Diagram

Troubleshooting Network Issues

cRIO-9047 is Not Communicating with the Network

Ensure that the Ethernet connections between the cRIO-9047 and the host computer, and between the host computer and the router are secure.
Configure the IP and other network settings by completing the following steps.
1. Use the USB-to-Type-A cable (included in the Battery Test System kit) to connect the cRIO-9047 USB device port to a host computer. The USB driver creates a virtual network interface card and assigns an IP address to the cRIO-9047 in the format of 172.22.11.x.
2. In Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX), expand your system under Remote Systems.
  Note If you do not see the cRIO-9047 under Remote Systems, right-click Remote Systems, and select Troubleshoot Remote System Discovery to walk through troubleshooting steps.
3. Select the Network Settings tab to configure the IP and other network settings.
4. (Optional) Use the standard measurement rack Ethernet port to reconnect the cRIO-9047 to the host computer. The cRIO-9047 attempts to initiate a DHCP network connection at power up.
  Note If the cRIO-9047 cannot obtain an IP address, it connects to the network with a link-local IP address with the form 169.254.x.x. The host computer communicates with the cRIO-9047 over a standard Ethernet connection.
Temporarily disable any network firewalls or other security software.

Verify the cRIO-9047 controller IP configuration by completing the following steps:

Put the cRIO-9047 in safe mode and enable the RS-232 serial port by holding down the RESET button on the controller front panel for 5 seconds.
The STATUS LED starts blinking three times every few seconds. Refer to the cRIO-904x User Manual for more information about safe mode.
Connect a monitor to the mini DisplayPort to view the IP address.
Note The controller also broadcasts the IP address through the RS-232 serial port. Refer to the cRIO-904x User Manual for more information about serial port configuration on the cRIO-9047 controller.
Set a new DHCP connection by holding the RESET button on the controller front panel down for 5 seconds. The STATUS LED repeats the same behavior from Step 1.
If the cRIO-9047 fails to set a new DHCP address, it assigns itself a link-local IP address. If the DHCP connection is successful and appropriate for your application, skip to Step 6.
In MAX, expand your system under Remote Systems.
Select the Network Settings tab to configure the IP and other network settings.
Reboot the cRIO-9047 by pressing the RESET button on the controller front panel.

cDAQ-9189 Chassis Disconnects from Network

If your cDAQ-9189 chassis becomes disconnected from the network, try the following solutions:

After moving the chassis to a new network, NI-DAQmx may lose connection to the chassis. In this case, click Reconnect to provide NI-DAQmx with the new hostname or IP address.
The cDAQ chassis icon indicates whether it is recognized and present on the network. If a connected chassis appears as disconnected in the configuration tree in MAX, select Self-Test or Reset Chassis. If successful, the chassis icon changes to blue/grey.

For additional troubleshooting resources for the cDAQ-9189 chassis, refer to Finding a Network DAQ Device in MAX in the Measurement & Automation Explorer Help for NI-DAQmx.
