CBS Central Battery Systems

Characteristics

Properties

The CBS central power supply system is a an advanced, reliable and user-friendly central battery system, designed in compliance with the requirements and all important standards. The system provides the possibility of monitoring circuits, luminaires or both.

The CBS central unit is equipped with a controller that supervises the operation of the entire system and archives all information about the events that have occurred and the system state. It has an intelligent charger that supervises the entire battery charging process, which automatically stops the charging process in the event of a battery failure. Depending on the type of facility, it is possible to connect substations that diversify the functionality of the central battery system, and thus reduce installation costs by shortening the length of circuits with installed luminaires. Damage to the central unit does not result in a complete system failure, as the substations take over the control and control of end circuits and luminaires. The SD card used in the system enables the software update and the recording of the event log. All the above information is additionally stored in the controller's non-volatile memory. Thanks to the implementation of BACnet Modbus protocols, it is possible to supervise and control the system using BMS devices.

In addition, taking care of the safety of rescue teams, all CBS systems have the ability to force work in IT mode both from the level of the cabinet and by means of an external signal. Taking care of the safety of rescue teams, all CBS systems have the ability to work in IT mode both from the level of the cabinet and by means of an external signal.

A conventional installation requires that the operating mode of each circuit is specified as early as at the design stage. Any possible changes or errors may incur extra costs or even make necessary corrections impossible. In order to eliminate such inconveniences, AWEX has introduced a new fully automatic technology to monitor and control each luminaire in a circuit.

The SMART enables installation of luminaires operating in three different modes: continuous, intermittent and switched, in a single circuit. Programming and control of the luminaires is provided by means of power supply cables and therefore no extra communication cables are required. The SMART functionality is available for luminaires fitted with appropriate address modules. The operating modes are set up from the main controller and no adjustments have to be made at the luminaires.

CBS cabinets

Central battery cabinets are devices made in the form of control enclosures intended for vertical placement on the ground. The doors are equipped with locks preventing unauthorized access to the interior. Inside the cabinets there is a mounting plate with the basic elements of the system. In the upper part of the housing there is a connection list for connecting power and control cables. Depending on the type of device, the battery pack may be located inside the main cabinet or in an external battery casing.

Due to the type of housing construction, CBS cabinets are divided into three types:

• Standard cabinet with the L marking
• Compact cabinet with the C designation
• RAK type cabinet with R marking

PBS substations

The CBS system can be flexibly adapted to each facility by diversifying the power supply to fire zones or the methods of routing emergency lighting circuits by using appropriate CBS systems with PBS substations. Damage to the central unit controller does not cause a complete failure of the system, because the substations take over the control and control of end circuits and luminaires, which significantly affects the safety level of the facility.

Due to the type of control unit, PBS substations are divided into two types:

• substations with a CM-NET control unit
• substations with a HUB control unit and the designation H

CM-NET controller

The control module is used to supervise and manage the operation of other modules within the central battery. The keyboard and LCD display in the front panel allow the user to configure and operate the whole system. The system configuration may also be carried out via RJ45 connector using SmartVISIO application installed on a computer.

Front panel LEDs allow the operational status of the central battery to be evaluated visually. The module automatically supervises the following: mains/battery mode of operation, battery charging, current, system voltage, insulation condition, deep discharge protection. Any detection of a failure or error is signalled immediately and entered into the event log. The appearance of a short-circuit or break in communication cables results in automatic switching of all circuits into emergency operation mode.

In addition, the module allows automatic searching for and adding any luminaires connected to the system. The controller allows upgrading firmware of any modules managed by it. The use of the timer allows changing the mode of luminaire operation in accordance with the assigned and configurable program. The controller is provided with programmable function buttons to allow, among other things, entering the system into service operation mode.

CCM module

The charger module provides the control of charging and control of batteries based on the characteristics of charging (UI) with temperature compensation according to PN-EN 50171 standard. The algorithm of charging realized by the charging control module is supervised by the control module. Charging of the batteries is realized by the BST 430 booster modules working together with the charging control module. The system can include only one module of charging control and it can work with max. 16 boosters.

During charging, it provides information for the connected boosters and controls the charging process on a regular basis. For systems including the IBMS system, it provides a communication interface that connects both systems. Apart from the function related to battery charging, the module ensures continuous monitoring of the insulation between battery circuits and PE line.

Communication between the sensors and the master device takes place via an additional communication line. The system enables control of up to 72 batteries (maximum 4 parallel branches with 18 batteries connected in series in a branch). After exceeding the temperature and voltage limits, the error / failure is signaled. In CBS Compact cabinets the M-IBMS collective device is mounted on a DIN rail inside, in Standard cabinets in an external housing.

LS modules

Sensor modules LS-24 and LS-230 monitor up to 8 potential-free or potential 230V AC inputs. These inputs allow for selective activation of groups controlling luminaires by assigning them to phase loss sensors in the case of LS-24 modules or direct monitoring of basic lighting circuits with the use of LS-230. The sensor inputs have a configurable operating logic.

LS-230 enables switching groups controlling emergency lighting fittings together with supplying primary lighting circuits. Using the LS-24 module and connected to it phase failure sensors, voltage loss in the primary lighting switchboard will turn on the luminaire with the control groups assigned to them. The inputs can also be used as potential-free inputs to BMS management systems to activate individual control groups.

CZF modules
The CZF and CZF-LON modules are used to monitor 230V potential signals from the basic lighting switchboard. The appropriate electronic design of the built-in power supply and the detection system allows them to be used in single-phase and three-phase installations.

The CZF is equipped with a controller that checks the input voltage and compares it with the detection threshold. If the voltage value on all phases is above the threshold, the relay is switched on. The detection threshold is in the range of 138 V AC ÷ 195 V AC and complies with the standard PN-EN 60598-2-22.
Three, two-colour LED lights, labelled L1, L2, L3, are used to signal the input voltage level, an incorrect power supply level is signalled in red and a correct one in green. The yellow light indicates the status of the relay, it lights up when the relay is switched on.

The CZF LON detector has 3 monitored inputs that can work in groups as a 3ph phase loss sensor or somehow separated control inputs. Each input can be set to a delay from 1 second to 1 hour. Signals from the device are transferred to the CBS system via the LON communication protocol. The module is equipped with LED indicators informing about the current status of the module, error, logic (negation) status for individual groups, and the status of individual inputs.
