The PowerTrac MP is a high performance, low cost battery data logging system developed to meet the monitoring needs of large battery strings. PowerTrac's modular monitoring approach allows end-users to continuously log the voltage and temperature of individual batteries within a string as well as the string current.
The logged data is available to end users through a variety of interfaces such as RS-232, RS-485, IrDA, and/or LAN. This flexibility allows end-users the convenience to choose the interface that best fits their specific needs.
Advantages:
• Modular design
• Low cost / High Performance
• Fully programmable
Applications:
• UPS / Backup power systems
• Electric / Hybrid electric vehicles and buses
• Telecom
Features & Benefits
Individual Battery Monitoring
The PowerTrac MP modular approach gives the most accurate, detailed reporting of battery string data. The PowerTrac MP system consists of individual monitoring devices that are connected across battery modules and a central HUB. The monitors are connected to the central HUB via an isolated RS-485 serial data bus.
Measure and Track Battery Performance Data
The PowerTrac MP measures and logs battery performance data including:
• Individual battery voltages and temperatures
• Battery string current
• Charge and discharge Amp-Hours
• Over/under voltage, over current, and over temperature alarms
Continuous Data Logging
The PowerTrac MP continuously tracks and logs individual battery activity. Continuous monitoring ensures that battery string activity is consistently observed/detected and the end-user is made aware of the state of individual batteries within the string.
Advanced User Interface
The PowerTrac MP incorporates advanced user interfaces including an RS-232 communication port, an infrared (IR) port, Windows GUI and Palm OS interfaces, as well as an optional LAN interface.
Low Cost / High Performance
The PowerTrac MP is a high performance, low cost alternative to existing high cost monitoring solutions. PowerTrac's high performance guarantee ensures that users are provided with the critical data needed to increase battery system reliability. |
