SUMMARIZE

• GYDCG-UBCS1 Series is a DC insulation monitoring device based on MODBUS protocol, including DC to ground insulation impedance monitoring, DC voltage monitoring, DC voltage reverse connection alarm and other safety monitoring functions. It can be used for electric vehicle DC charging system, photovoltaic system, energy storage system, DC grid and other DC systems below 1000V. This product has the function of starting and stopping insulation monitoring. After insulation monitoring is started, the insulation resistance of positive and negative poles to ground can be monitored in real time. The monitoring result is not affected by DC voltage fluctuation, and is not affected by the symmetry of insulation resistance of positive and negative poles.

Insulation monitoring function introduction

• The product can send communication frames through RS485 to turn on or off the insulation monitoring function. After the insulation monitoring function is turned on, the high-voltage grounding switch K is closed and the real-time measurement of insulation resistance is realized. After the insulation monitoring function is turned off, the high-voltage grounding switch K is disconnected. The host machine can send read command to read the insulation resistance value of positive and negative poles at any time.
• The insulation resistance monitoring can be realized only when the DC voltage is between 100V and 1000V. If the insulation monitoring is off, or the DC voltage is less than 100V, or just opened for a short time, the value of Bit1 of 0x001B is 0, then the read insulation resistance is 65535, namely 0xFFFF (invalid value). Only when the Bit1 value of 0x001B is 1, the read insulation resistance is an effective value. The monitoring range of insulation resistance is between 1kΩ and 10MΩ. When the measured value is greater than 10MΩ, the received value is 60000, namely 0xEA60 (infinity value).
• The user can turn the insulation monitoring on and off by writing the 0x0102 register, and can determine whether the current insulation monitoring is on or off by reading the Bit2 of the 0x001B register. The opening and closing of insulation monitoring only determines whether the insulation resistance monitoring is enabled, and does not affect the DC voltage monitoring. After the product is powered, the DC voltage is continuously monitored.
• After the insulation monitoring function is enabled, the product continuously monitors the insulation resistance in real time. The user can read the insulation resistance value at the earliest 1s after the function is enabled. For the presence of DC ground capacitance, the module can adaptively monitor the ground capacitance below 3uF (the positive and negative ground capacitance are respectively below 3uF, and the total capacitance is below 6uF). When the ground capacitance exists, the monitoring time is less than 2.5s.

Insulation monitoring self-test function (Optional, model with ‘-ST’)

• The function of insulation monitoring self-test is to test whether the equipment can work normally by self-switching the grounding resistance inside the device.
• If the device can detect the grounding resistance, it means that the insulation monitoring function can work normally, that is, self-test success;
• If the device cannot detect the switch resistance, it means that the insulation monitoring function cannot work normally, that is, the self-test fails.
• The self-checking circuit and the insulation monitoring circuit are independent and do not affect each other.
• When the user opens the self-test circuit, the self-test switches K1 and K2 are closed, and the positive and negative self-test resistance Rtest is set as 470kΩ here; When the user closes the self-test circuit, the self-test switches K1 and K2 are disconnected.
• When the user opens the insulation monitoring circuit, the ground switch K is closed and the insulation monitoring starts to work. When the user closes the insulation monitoring circuit, the ground switch K will be disconnected and the insulation monitoring will stop working.

Self-test function conditions:

1. Turn on the insulation monitoring circuit (send 01 06 01 02 00 11 E9 FA);
2. Turn on the self-test circuit (send 01 06 01 03 00 13 39 FB);
3. DC voltage above 100V (the greater the DC voltage, the more accurate result).

Note:

• At this time, ‘LD1’ is ON for 1.5 seconds and OFF for 0.5 seconds.
• The insulation monitoring circuit and self-test circuit are both ON, and the self-test function is ON.

View self-test results:

• You can view the result 3S after the above three conditions are ON. You can view the self-test result by either of the following methods (the second method is recommended):
• Check by reading the insulation resistance value. Register addresses 0x0012 and 0x0013 are the positive and negative insulation resistance to earth respectively. If open self-checking circuit is negative in front of the insulation resistance of Rf2 respectively and Rf1, self-checking circuit open across the electrodes of 3 seconds after read across the electrodes of insulation resistance should be opened before the self-checking circuit insulation resistance and resistance of self-check Rtest parallel values, namely, Rf2 || Rtest and Rf1 || Rtest, if read value and time value were similar, that means the self-test passed.

Check whether the self-test passes by reading the Bit4 bits of the register address 0x001B.

• If Bit4=1, the self-check passes.
• If Bit4=0, the self-check fails. When the self-check function is turned off, the Bit4 bit is 0. In this case, the Bit4 bit should not be read.

Possible causes of self-test failure:

• After passing the self-test, you can close the self-test function; If the self-test fails, the possible causes are:

1. The insulation monitoring is not ON
2. The self-test circuit is not ON
3. The DC voltage is below 100V
4. The waiting time after starting is too short, you can wait for another 3 seconds to read the selftest result
5. The insulation monitoring function is faulty.
