A NOTE ON F EATURE -I N PORT The Feature-in port allows a wide range of optional capabilities in the WS500 to be selected in real time. Throughout this configuration guide there are a number of places where the Feature-In port may be enabled to be looked at to select a given capability. There are also options to modify the behavior of the Feature-In port from its normal behavior. Care should be exercised when configuring the WS500 to assure that the desired behavior of the Feature-in port is selected, and that some other expected use has not inadvertently been disabled. Example, by utilizing the Feature-In port to allow to selection of an alternative DC-DC converter set point, the default behaviors of forcing the regulator mode to Float with CPE #8 will be overridden; this could cause unexpected behaviors if the system design expects to use the Feature-in port for a legacy BMS integration.
Feature-In can be used as
1. Force Equalize (when using CPE #7) 2. Force Float (when using CPE #8)
3. Force whitespace (setting RMP to positive value in CNG when in CPE #8. Negative value of RPM in CNG forces whitespace on all the time ignoring Feature-In. Pos/New values of RPM in CNG are ignored when in CPE 7.)
4. Force regulator power (setting dHalf 0 in SCA) 5. Feature-In polarity change for any of the above.
