Introduction
The Pulsar Edge command language is based on the T1.317 standard. This section describes the
commands, objects and attributes used to access measurements, configuration, and control
parameters in the Pulsar Edge controller.
The T1.317 standard organizes system parameters called attributes into groups called objects. All
commands, objects, attributes and ranges for their respective parameters for the Pulsar Edge
controller are given in the following tables.
An object-attribute pair uniquely identifies a measurement, configuration, or control parameter.
For example, the object-attribute pair “dc1,vdc” identifies the plant voltage while the object-
attribute pair “dc1,adc” identifies the plant load current. In each of these examples “dc1”
identifies the plant object and “vdc” and “adc” identify DC voltage and DC current, respectively.
There are three main commands involved with plant operations in the system controller command
set. The command “sta” is used to get the status of the plant, the command “cha” is used to
change a plant parameter, and the command “ope” is used to initiate a plant function. A person at
the “user” level can only perform the sta operations. A person at the “super-user” and
“administrator” level can also perform the "cha" and "ope" operations.
Instructions in the T1.317 command set take the following form:
command object,attribute[=parameter].
Certain commands do not require a value for parameter, while others do. Note that text
parameters are to be enclosed in quotation marks while numeric parameters are not to be enclosed
in quotation marks.
For example, to obtain the plant voltage, type in the following command:
sta dc1,vdc
To enable low-temperature slope thermal compensation, type in the following command:
cha sc1,rve=1
To change the voltage at which the LVD contactor disconnects the batteries from the load to 40V,
type the following:
cha cn1,dth=40
Note: all IP addresses and their associated descriptions are required to be in quotes “” when using
the cha command.
To initiate a manual boost charging, i.e., place the plant into boost charging mode, type in the
