MCU Power Supply Manager

for Telecom & Industry
Power Supply manager MCU
Power supply manager MCU 500, 1000 and 2000+ are
microprocessor-based units to supervise and monitor power
systems for telecom and industrial applications.
The MCU versions can be used with all rectifier modules from
BENNING and can also be adapted to other rectifier modules.
The MCUs complies with all important requirements of
different operators and gives a full overview of the system
status. The MCU can also monitor other external operator
equipment via digital inputs, such as fire alarms and air conditioning equipment. The MCUs provides comprehensive

supervision functions and controls BENNING rectifier

modules. Alarm settings can be changed via the keypad and
all errors are readable either from the LCD display or from a
locally connected laptop on the RS 232 interface. This POWER
SUPPLY MANAGER reduces the running costs by transmitting
all the information via a telephone modem or 10 BaseT
Ethernet-network to the operators control centre.

Energy Management
to Lower your Costs
Battery discharge Management:
Battery discharge management can be carried out either
manually (locally or remotely) or automatically with a customer adjustable duration and interval. The MCU controller sets
the rectifier output voltage to 1,8 V/c either via the RS485
bus (if rectifiers with interface card are used) or via an
additional relay (if rectifiers without interface card). They are
not switched off.

The battery voltage is higher than 1,8 V/c, therefore the load
is discharging the batteries. The battery test mode will be
stopped either by a preset time or if the battery voltage
reaches an adjustable limit. If the voltage reaches this limit,
the MCU will indicate automatically battery not OK this
alarm will not clear until a new battery test is finished
successfully. A report is automatically sent via modem or
Ethernet network.

MCU an Interface
for Telecom & Industry
Remote Monitoring Features
Via the RS232 interface on the MCU the system can be remotely monitored. The MCU has an automatic call back function.
In alarm conditions, the MCU sends a complete protocol
(analogue values and alarms) to a central control station. This
remote monitoring can be achieved via different IT solutions:
The most common method used today is to connect the
MCU via a telephone modem to the control station. For this
application analogue- and GSM AT-modems are used.

Additional measurement:

individual rectifier current

total rectifier current
total battery current
battery temperature

monitor display and service display

Basic measurements:
load current
load voltage
additional current or temperature

Basic monitoring:

high voltage
low voltage
battery fuse
mains
rectifiers

System reliability:
MCU is not used to control the modules, therefore all of the
rectifiers continue operating at their own present values if the
MCU fails. In this case MCU will raise an alarm.

Today more and more network-technologies are used,
and availability is usually defined by the customers telecom

an interface between the MCU and an Ethernet network.

Internet Technology
The HTTP-Webserver

The Telnet-Server

allows the user to monitor the system with a normal Internet

browser. No special software is necessary. The MCU
Webserver is able to support different languages and service
people from different countries can have a look into the site
worldwide.

allows easy maintenance on the embedded system such as

a control centre.

SNMP monitoring
The FTP-Fileserver
allows the user to carry out remote updates from the server
over the user network

The information sent over the network uses a MIB, this MIB
will be translated with software like HP Open View.
BENNING is using a standardised MIB (will be available as
an RFC).

Internal TCP/IP-Network-Server
allows together with the Benning TEBE-MCU Monitor.net
software to monitor the sites via a TCP/IP network.
This combination monitors and shows the protocol similar to
the standard Benning Monitor software just by adding
Server-IP-Addresses, Server-port and Server host names.

SMTP-Mail-Client
is sending automatically e-mails to different addresses in
case of receiving a new protocol of the MCU. These e-mails
include four files, three are .html- files, which can be read
with an Internet browser, and the normal MCU file which can
be read only with the Benning Service or Monitor software.
