Product Description

New revolutionary product, with Ethernet on Board provided with protocol connections: HTTPS, SNMPv3, Modbus TCP. The device also features the ADELBus protocol for connecting other ADELSystem devices. Thanks to “All In One” CBI series of DC-UPS, it will be possible to optimize the power management of your system with one single, extremely compact and cost-effective device, connected directly to the mains. The available power is automatically distributed between load and battery giving priority to the load. Battery can supply the load even with mains so the output power to the load can be twice the nominal power if required (Power Boost). When mains failure occurs, the load continues to be supplied by the battery in backup mode. It is also possible to switch on the device with no mains directly from battery. The “Battery Care” algorithm performs rapid and automatic charging, continuous battery charge optimization, flat batteries recovery and real time diagnosis during installation and operation. Temperature compensation is possible by connecting the temperature sensor probe. The real time auto-diagnostic system monitors battery faults such as sulphated battery, shorted cells, accidental reverse polarity connection or disconnection of the battery. Each fault is signaled by a blink code of Diagnosis Led or via Modbus in order to be easily detected and removed during the installation and after sales. The continuous monitoring of battery efficiency reduces the risk of battery damage and allows a safe operation in a permanent connection. Predefined curves can be selected on the front panel to optimize the charge of different battery types: Open Lead Acid, AGM and Gel Lead Acid; Ni-Cd, Li-Ion are rechargeable using the same device. Charging curves can be customized via Modbus. Output contacts are used to signal both backup and fault conditions. A rugged casing with bracket for DIN rail or Wall mounting.

Connect HTTP server for the first time

  • Connect the device to the network with a standard CAT5e or better LAN cable plugged into the Aux4 connector (RJ45) on the bottom of the unit, as shown in section 4.3. The CBI60 is factory-configured to operate with a fixed IP address (192.168.1.100) on the standard HTTP port (number 80).
  • A different static IP address can be assigned to the CBI60 or a dynamic IP address can be assigned using the DHCP protocol. The network configuration can be carried out using the internal webserver. Type the IP address of the CBI60 into any browser’s address bar (as an example “192.168.1.100”) then the login page appears requesting the username and the password.
  • To access the internal webserver, at the login page, the following credentials must be used:
    • Username: admin
    • Password: password

Note : after 20 minutes of inacticity the login credentials must be entered again.

Customizing the ethernet interface and services
Select “Configuration” and then “Network” to display the following groups of parameters and other information:

  • Account
  • Generic configuration TCP/IP
