Introduction
This manual describes the configuration and programming necessary to control the
SB3000 Synchronous Rectifier. SB3000 Rectifiers operate within the AutoMax™
Distributed Power System (DPS) environment. They are controlled through
coordination among:
• Tasks written by the programmer for the AutoMax Processor.
• Tasks written by the programmer for the Universal Drive Controller (UDC) module.
• The control algorithm and a number of software routines executed by the Power
Module Interface (PMI) regulator.
The data and commands required by the PMI operating system to carry out its
functions are provided by the programmer through the AutoMax rack configuration and
the UDC task. The programmer provides this information by:
• Entering the drive parameters.
• Configuring the registers in the UDC module.
• Defining the values of the pre-defined local tunables.
The AutoMax Programming Executive V3.4 (M/N 57C345, 57C346, 57C395, and
57C397) or later is required to support the SB3000 Rectifier. Beginning with V3.5
Executive software, drive regulators are sold separately. The AutoMax Programming
Executive instruction manual describes the Programming Executive in detail.
This instruction manual assumes that the user is familiar with the AutoMax
Programming Executive software and makes reference to it throughout. This manual
does not describe specific applications of the standard hardware and software.
The user must be familiar with the other instruction manuals that describe using the
SB3000 Synchronous Rectifier as part of a Distributed Power System drive. Refer to
the instruction manuals listed in table 1.1 as needed.
