Tyco Electronics Galaxy SC Controller J85501F-1
Issue 13 February 2001 Feature Descriptions 7 - 6
Backup and
Restore
The backup and restore feature allows the user to backup the system
configuration as a series of T1.317 commands in an ASCII format. The
ASCII format allows the user the flexibility to view and edit the
configuration before restoring it. The user can backup and restore the
system configuration from a T1.317 interface on the local, modem, or
auxiliary access ports. Backup and restore is also supported on the
auxiliary port using the TL1 protocol. Backup and restore may be done
using the Xmodem protocol for reliable data transfer or in ASCII text.
The system configuration is backed up as a series of ADD, LIN, CHA,
and ALI T1.317 commands. The restore process passes these commands
through the T1.317 command line processor to be executed as if they
had been entered from the command line. During restore, output is not
sent to the access port. If commands in the configuration backup file
conflict with the current configuration of the system then those
commands will be ignored. The restore feature is intended to take a
controller from its default configuration to a custom configuration. It
should be used after software upgrade or backup battery power loss.
Restore will not directly affect the current state of the history logs,
call-out, or statistics, except in the case where those features are affected
by changes in parameter values. All configuration data is also
permanently stored in the controller. This configuration will be used as
the new default on subsequent power-on sequences if the backup battery
power is lost. If the backup is aborted, the permanently stored
configuration will be reset to factory defaults until another backup is
performed.
Battery
Discharge Test
The Battery Discharge Test feature dynamically tests the health of the
system’s batteries by controlling rectifier voltage to allow the batteries
to discharge into the plant load. A Bell Labs patented algorithm collects
battery information during the discharge and predicts the battery reserve
time. To initiate the test, the plant must be operating in the Float mode
with no active alarms and only serial type rectifiers connected. The test
is completed when approximately 20 percent of anticipated battery
capacity is removed. During the test, slope thermal compensation and
boost modes will be temporarily disabled. The controller Reserve Time
field will display “Test in Progress” and the BAT LED and the BD
external alarm relay will be activated. BD and Very Low Voltage alarm
thresholds will be temporarily inhibited.
Note: The Battery Discharge Test is for informational and planning
purposes only. It does not constitute the basis for warranty resolutions.
The battery test is aborted if any of the following conditions occur:
