The PBT-SCMini-XC is a low-cost controller for battery management and small systems backup power monitoring.
Combining the Power of ARM-9 and Linux
The PBT-SCMini-XC is based on a powerful ARM-9 microcomputer with an embedded Linux operating system. The architecture and capabilities are based on PBT’s PBT-SC4 system controller, which is field proven in thousands of monitored sites. This platform provides a wide range of functionality along with a full suite of secure networking protocols and utilities, including:
IP V4 & V6
SNMP V1, V2, V3
FTP, SMTP, SSH, HTTP (webserver)
Scalable Monitoring Solution
The unit is equipped with two battery sensor interfaces for a total monitoring capacity of up to 48 batteries (24 per input). It also has a PBUS interface to allow use with other PBT sensors, including float current measurement and general-purpose RIM and ROM I/O modules for facilities monitoring. More information on battery sensors and expansion modules can be found in the associated data sheets. The unit can be powered from a wide range of DC voltages from 9-60 VDC.
Monitored parameters include:
Local line voltage
Controller internal temperature (tracks ambient temperature)
Battery voltage, temperature, impedance
Battery electrolyte level (optional sensor)
String float charging current (optional sensor)
String discharge current (optional sensor)
AC current (optional sensor)
Moisture detection (optional sensor)
Thermal runaway detection/control (optional sensor)
Ground fault detection (optional sensor)
Two built-in digital contact closure inputs
Two built-in relay contact outputs
USB-C programming connector
Internal logging of all measurements and states
The built-in web server allows the status of the monitored batteries to be analyzed from anywhere in the network using a common web browser. The built-in SMTP mail client can be set up to send alarm messages to user-specified email addresses or text messages when an alarm occurs. A rules-based system allows combinations of states/conditions to set relay contact outputs.
The PBT-SCMini-XC, battery sensors, and all expansion modules are firmware downloadable over the network, facilitating firmware upgrades and feature enhancements as they become available.
