Title:
AUTOMATIC MODULE CONFIGURATION IN A TELECOMMUNICATIONS POWER SYSTEM AND BATTERY CONFIGURATION WITH A CLICK
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2001093398
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
An automatic configuration system for a telecommunications power system includes a power bus and a communications bus. A controller that is connected to the communication bus employs a serial communications protocol. A module transmits am identification signal to the controllert that contains an identification number of the module. The modules include rectifier modules, battery connection modules and distribution modules. Each module transmits the identification signal after the module is initially connected to the power bus and the communications bus. The controller receives the identification signal form the module. The controller stores the identification number and generates a module ID for the module that is tramsitted to the module for use by the module in further serial communications with the controller. An automated battery configuration system includes database system storing a plurality of records that include a plurality of records that include a plurality of backup battery parameters. A user interface is associated with the controller receives user-provided input of at least one battery specifying parameter. The user interface communicates with the database system to retrieve a selected one of the records based on the battery specifying parameter. The controller communicates with the database system and employs at least one of the parameters of the selected record to alter an operating setting of the telecommunications power system. The battery specifying parameters include a manufacturer designation and a model designation of the backup battery.
