The RCC-02 enables the user to supervise the system and to completely adapt it to the needs through the many parameter settings available on the Xtenders, on the VarioTracks and on the VarioStrings.
Thanks to its digital display, the RCC-02 provides clear and comprehensive indications on the state of the system in the chosen language.
The device memorizes the events that occurred on an installation and therefore anticipates any future problems.
A SD card reader is available and allows parameters recording, as well as the uploading of various pre-settings and of all future updates.

Meant for wall mounting.

Battery Status Processor BSP

bsp_front.jpg

One of the most important information for a safe and effective operating of an energy system with batteries is their state of charge. The BSP offers, for Xtender, VarioTrack and VarioString systems, a highly precise measuring and an extremely efficient algorithm that calculates the state of charge in the most accurate way.
The remote control RCC-02/03 provides the display, the data logging, the graphical display of the state of charge history and the settings. Values of the BSP can be used in the programming of the Xtender, VarioTrack and VarioString system. Besides, 17 different values can be displayed like for instance:
  • State of charge
  • Voltage
  • Current
  • Time to go
  • Throughput energy
  • Battery temperature

The BSP is offering a voltage measuring for 12, 24 and 48 V batteries and a current measuring by resistive shunt.
Two models of BSP are available:
BSP 500 (with a shunt of 500 A)
BSP 1200 (with a shunt of 1200 A)

Dimension H x L x l: 110.5 x 75 x 26 mm.
Cable length for the battery connection: 2 m
Supplied with a 5 m communication cable and a shunt of 500A (for the BSP 500) or of 1200A (for the BSP 1200).


Communication module Xcom-232i

xcom-232i.jpg


The communication module Xcom-232i, equipped with a serial port RS-232, enables to be informed of the state of a system consisting of one or several Xtenders, VarioTracks or VarioStrings.
It is then possible to read all data that can be displayed on the remote control basic screen and also to modify the configuration parameters. An Xtender, VarioTrack or VarioString system can therefore be connected to various SCADA control and supervision devices (PC, programmable logic controller, and microcontroller).
From a more technical point of view, the electrical interface RS-232 allows for instance the data transmission with GSM modems, RS-232 bridges to TCP/IP or also with long distance converters RS-422. Besides, in order to secure a total electrical separation between the Xtender, VarioTrack or VarioString system and the control and supervision device, the port is protected by means of a galvanic isolation.
The module Xcom-232i is also having a function of data recording and analysing (Data logger function).

If you have no serial port RS-232, there is a version with CAN bus.

Dimension H x L x l: 110.5 x 75 x 26 mm.
Supplied with a 2 m communication cable.


Communication sets by internet with Xcom-LAN / Xcom-GSM

xcom-gsm_hr.jpg


Xtender, VarioTrack and VarioString systems can now be constantly controlled from any remote terminal, computer, tablet or smartphone. The communication sets Xcom-GSM and Xcom-LAN allow connecting to sites with GSM mobile coverage or with internet-connection over a local network.
Studer Innotec provides this «plug-and-play» solution using a secure server and a simple and user-friendly interface.
The interface allows for remote interaction with the installation exactly as if on-site with the remote control RCC-02/-03, including: access to all parameters, real-time display of measured data of all devices included in the system and access to the last 30 days of log files.
Furthermore this solution makes it possible to consult the system’s event log at any time. It also allow users to configure alarm messages to be sent to one or more persons by e-mail or SMS. Any loss of internet connection can be indicated.

Xcom-LAN or Xcom-GSM?
Studer Innotec offers two different communication sets for providing access to the installation via internet. The available means of communication at the location of the installation will determine which set to choose.
If the installation has access to internet through a local area network (LAN), choose the Xcom-LAN set. If there is no available connection to the internet but access to a GPRS or 3G mobile network*, choose the Xcom-GSM set.
* the compatibility should always be verified with the mobile phone network operator

Communication set Xcom-LAN

The set includes one Xcom-232i, one Ethernet port and all necessary accessories

Communication set Xcom-GSM

The set includes one Xcom-232i, one cellular modem and all necessary accessories. The SIM card is not provided.


Communication module Xcom-SMS
