ABB Many Galaxy Pulsar Edge Controller
Galaxy Pulsar Edge Controller
Models: Many
The Galaxy Pulsar Edge Controller is the system controller of many ABB power system families. The various models provide system family compatibility and user interface variants. This guide is intended to provide basic information for controller installation, start up, and operation. Application specific installation information is provided in equipment documentation (quick start guides, installation guides, and product manuals). A Quick Start Guide Supplement provides customer specific Default Voltage Settings and Alarm Signal assignments when they are factory configured. Controller detail is available in the Pulsar Edge Controller Family Product Manual (CC848815341) available at abbpowerconversion.com
Step 1- Set Jumpers- LAN Port and Alarm Relay
Before installing the controller configure the jumpers- top or side of the controller.
| Controller Jumper Settings | ||
| CAUTION: Do not connect LAN port to a network when jumper is set to Local. | ||
| LAN Port – J5 | Local (Server): J5 LAN connects to a laptop. Local (Server) is a temporary setting, once configuration is complete move the jumper back to Network (Client) mode. | |
| (Default). | ||
| Alarm Relays | Alarm Relays can be set to operate as Close on Alarm or Open on Alarm. Open on Alarm is the Factory Default setting. Move Alarm jumpers to Close on Alarm when required. Example: MODEL: CP841A_0I6R has 6 alarm relays – PMJ, PMN, 1, 2, 3, and 4. | |
Step 2 – Install Controller in Shelf
SPS Controllers with display snap into the shelf slot. Other Controllers are secured with a latch or screw. The Controller installs into the left most slot of a compatible shelf with slots or into a controller backplane within a compatible shelf
- Install the Controller Bracket. Torque to 5 in-lb (0.5 Nm) (NE Controllers with display only).
- Replace the latch on the front with the bracket for screw mount if necessary (CP applications only) Snap off latch. Snap on bracket for screw.
- Open the latch on the front if present.
- Firmly slide the controller into the shelf or backplane. CAUTION: DO NOT press on LEDs or LCD.
- Secure with screw or latch, if present.
Step 3 – Set Shelf IDs – per shelf Quick Start Guides- some shelves
- Shelf ID switches and jumpers are located on the rear of some rectifier/ converter
- shelf models- see shelf quick start guides for location.
- Shelf ID must be unique and in the range of 1 to F.
- Set rectifier/converter shelf IDs in sequence beginning with 1 at the top shelf.
Step 4 – Install Signal and Communications Cables 
- Communications cables are connected at the rear of many systems.
- Install communications cables as instructed in equipment documentation and in site engineering instructions. See Information: Connectors.
Step 5- Install 1-Wire Battery Temp, Ambient Temperature, and Voltage Monitor – Optional
- Install 1-Wire Battery Temp, Ambient Temperature, and Voltage Monitor as instructed in equipment documentation and in site engineering instructions.
- See Information: 1-Wire Battery Temp and Voltage Monitor.
Step 6 – System Initial Start Up
Power the controller – follow the system start up procedure as instructed in equipment documentation and in site engineering instructions.
Step 7 – Configure Controller
Verify and edit controller basic configuration parameters per site engineering instructions. CAUTION:
- DHCP/Static IP Address – set per site engineering instructions to assure network access.
- Converter Voltage Set Point- Set both Converter Internal Selective High Voltage Shutdown and Converter High Output Voltage Major Alarm higher than desired Converter Voltage Set Point. before setting Converter Voltage Set Point. Converters will not operate when either of these parameters is set to less than the Converter Voltage Set Point.

Advanced Configuration
complete, site specific configuration Verify and edit remaining controller parameters per site engineering instructions.
Information
Controller Default Voltage Settings and Ranges
- Configure these parameters per site engineering instructions.
- See Quick Start Guide Supplements for customer specific Default Settings.
- Customer specific factory defaults – see the Quick Start Guide Supplement.
Information: Connectors
See equipment Quick Start Guides and Quick Start Guide Supplements for details of connector, factory signal assignments, and available cables. Connectors are on the primary shelf (equipped with controller), usually at the rear. Physical styles and locations of system mounted connectors are system specific. Not all connectors are present on all systems.
- DATA connectors (J3 and J4) are usually positioned one above the other. Use only the upper connector for 1-Wire devic-es. See equipment Quick Start Guide.
- ALARM connections (J2) Some systems split alarm signals between J1 and J2. Some systems provide all alarm signals on J1, omitting J2. See equipment Quick Start Guide for details.
Information: Alarms – Power Minor (PMN) and Power Major (PMJ)
- PMN reports during every minor alarm condition.
- PMJ reports during every major alarm condition.
Information: 1-Wire Battery Temp, Ambient Temperature, and Voltage Monitor
- Wire Monitoring is accomplished with a “Daisy Chained” series of probes connected to the upper DATA connector (J3/J4) on the primary shelf (equipped with controller).
- Battery Probes monitor battery temperature and voltage (ES771 required to monitor voltage). Bolt the Battery Probe under battery “–“ terminal connector hardware; NOT under the connecting lug.
- Ambient Probes monitor ambient temperature. Mount the Ambient probe as desired.
- All 1-Wire probes may be connected to any 1-Wire daisy-chain using the wire sets listed below.
- Max per system: Probes – 16, ES771 Modules – 6.
