Do not change.IOB DO Number The number of the DO on the I/O board (or SiteSure-3G module). Do notchange.Active State Select the state of the output when the DO is active*.Group Set to 0 unless using Groups in PowerManagerII. See PowerManagerII onlinehelp for details.4 * One digital output is also used as the Monitor Fail alarm relay. Refer to the I/O Board(IOBGP-xx) Connector Pin-outs on page 138 for the output number. This output will de-energize if the I/O board loses power or loses communication with the SC300.Alternative Energy Input MeteringThe SC300 can meter currents supplied to the DC bus from alternative energy sources such as solaror wind. This means that it can calculate currents to and from the DC bus correctly, even whenboth rectifiers and alternative energy sources are providing power. Currents from Eaton Solar Chargers (ASC48-ES) are automatically measured.► To set up alternative energy input metering• For each alternative energy source, connect a current sensor from the energy source to acurrent shunt input or analog input.• On DCTools/web, go to: Analog Inputs.• Configure the selected Analog Inputs and set Function to Alternative Energy Source Current.The Alternative Source current is calculated as the sum of the currents of all analog inputsconfigured as Alternative Energy Source Current, plus the total current from all solar chargerscontrolled by the SC300.Smart Alarms based on System Value Sources can be used to configure alarms based on theAlternative Energy Source Current.See Smart Alarms on page 60 for details of how to set Smart Alarms. The System Schematic shown in the SC300 web page displays the source current values (rectifiersand alternative energy sources) and load current values (load and batteries). If one of these valuesis not available, it is calculated from the other system current values. DCTools does not show solar/ alternative energy sources on its system view, but the values are available in the analogue inputspage.Energy MeteringThe SC300 can be configured with up to 20 energy meters.Each energy meter can meter energy, power, minimum power, and maximum power.The meters can measure load currents, alternative energy inputs, system values, and any otherenergy flow that can be connected to the SC300s through the IOBGP or IOBSS IO boards.Power is calculated as voltage multiplied by current, except where power is directly measured bythe solar charger, in which case that power value is used.Energy is calculated as power continuously multiplied by time.Several energy sources can be combined into a single meter. For example, this can be used to meterboth individual loads and total load.
