Digital Load Bank Controller
Description
The Simplex D-Series Digital Load
Bank controller is the new standard for
load bank operation and application.
The D-Series is the standard controller
provided by Simplex for our entire
stationary load bank line. The D-Series
comprises a line of PLC-based
controllers equipped with touchpanel
operator interfaces.
With D-Series controllers, the user
enjoys a signicant savings of
installation cost. Versus traditional
analog (toggle switch) panels,
connections for remote control are
reduced to a single RS-485 or Ethernet
Cat-5 cable. Multiple control stations
are easily networked. Valuable space is
conserved. Reliability is enhanced.
With D-Series controllers, data
monitoring and acquisition, load bank
automation and BMS integration are
made simple. The D-Series is networked
via MODBUS RTU over RS-485 or
Ethernet allowing simple daisy chain
or Ethernet switch cable networking.
MODBUS-to-BacNet (or other protocol)
convertors are available.
The D-Series controller can be
accessed by remote PC by simple
assignment of an IP address.
PCintegration software is available.
The D-Series accepts Simplex
“Auto-Test” software enabling full
automation of load bank testing with
data acquisition, report generation and
pass-fail testing. Inputs from generator
controller data outputs can be accepted
to allow integration of full engine data.
