SinusLeistungsSteller - SLS Development/2016 |
In this section we provide frequently news on development and progress ... Details about the SLS are found here (click...) 21.07.2016: Another Firmware-Update V1.497 for cSLS/cSLSi and SLS/SLSi is ready for download. Before switching OFF at overvolt situation, a foldback of current will take place now. The SLS-Windows-Monitor also got an Update V1.491. Some minor things were fixed here. 19.07.2016: Once more Solarboats running with our SLS occupied nearly all top rankings at DSC - Dutch Solar Challenge and Solar 1 Monte Carlo Cup ...
We want to congratulate to all successful teams!
At both events the winner in the Top-class was CLAFIS Victron Privat Energy Solarboat Team (Gerard van der Schaar) ... just ahead of TU Delft Solat Boat Team (Thore Roepman) ... on 4th place in DSCīs Top-class was ROC Friese Poort Sneek (Raymond Blokker) The winner of A-class at DSC was Dutch solar Boat Team (Jules van Haaren) 28.04.2016: A new Firmware-Update V1.496 for cSLS/cSLSi and SLS/SLSi is ready for download. The starting behaviour for heated SLS-hardware had to be improved (compensation of a temperature drift within the current measurement section). Also the resolution of derating/foldback in case of undervoltage or overtemperature was increased. Now it works much more sensitive and smoother. 27.04.2016: To get better contact protection (IP40) for the high current screw terminal, we designed housings. First samples have been made by 3D-printing. These plastic parts are equal for DC- and AC-side of the controller and consist of a upper and a lower part. The lower part is partial potted, while the electronic is potted and seals the screw area. The upper part is fixed by 2 screws with the Alu-pot (through the lower part). Another 2 screws joins upper an lower part. Each screw area is separated to its neighbour screw area and can handle up to 50mmē cable+eye. Itīs planed to have all control-signals combined in only one round cable, lead out on the DC-side. Both green connectors will be discontinued then. In cases the main contacts doesnīt need to be disconnected again, the cavities can be potted and IP64 protection can be established. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() We will offer this IP-option together with the new SLRi-controller-family (SOP planed for 1Q/2017). Pictures shown above are based on a SLSi - this is just for illustration. Already existent SLSi/SLRi can not be equipped later because of partial potting of the lower part. ... Development 2015 ...
