MPC

Product Description
The MPC-S-01 is a high-level programmable energy management controller, dedicated to industrial off-grid solar systems and utilising Maximum Power Point Tracker (MPPT) technology, and is designed to provide high performance and reliability. It is the first of a new generation of controllers from Micha, and includes many new features, including on-site software upgrades and datalogging via a USB memory stick, plus built-in RS485 and Ethernet connectivity.

System Concept
The MPC-S-01 is the heart of the charge controller and can be used in a range of cabinet layouts, ranging from all-in-one controllers that can include Load switching and Battery power connections that are suitable for smaller systems, to a versatile ‘control and monitoring box’ connected to distributed power elements - typically used for larger installations.

MPC-S-01 Standard Features
Without the need for additional modules, the MPC-S-01 includes the following as standard:

  • 2 x 16 Character LCD Display
  • Rotary Switch for fast and easy setting and selection
  • Dedicated ‘Common Fault’ Indicator plus 5 User-configurable Alarm Indicators
  • Built-in Sounder (use is optional)
  • Automatic System Voltage Sensing
  • Remote Battery Voltage Sensing
  • Remote Battery Temperature Sensing
  • Reference Cell (Pyranometer) Input
  • External Voltage Sense
  • Four User-configurable Shunt Inputs
  • Four Digital Inputs with User-configurable Functions
  • Eight User-configurable VFC Relay Outputs. (At least one is required for any Load switching.)
  • Expansion port allowing additional signalling relay and 4-20mA output modules to be added
  • USB memory Stick for Data Logging and Software Upgrades
  • RS485 and Ethernet Ports with MODBUS connectivity
