D-Series Digital Load Bank Controller Description The Simplex D-Series Digital Load Bank controller is the new standard for load bank operation and application. The D-Series is the standard controller provided by Simplex for our entire stationary load bank line. The D-Series comprises a line of PLC-based controllers equipped with touchpanel operator interfaces. With D-Series controllers, the user enjoys a signicant savings of installation cost. Versus traditional analog (toggle switch) panels, connections for remote control are reduced to a single RS-485 or Ethernet Cat-5 cable. Multiple control stations are easily networked. Valuable space is conserved. Reliability is enhanced. With D-Series controllers, data monitoring and acquisition, load bank automation and BMS integration are made simple. The D-Series is networked via MODBUS RTU over RS-485 or Ethernet allowing simple daisy chain or Ethernet switch cable networking. MODBUS-to-BacNet (or other protocol) convertors are available. The D-Series controller can be accessed by remote PC by simple assignment of an IP address. PCintegration software is available. The D-Series accepts Simplex “Auto-Test” software enabling full automation of load bank testing with data acquisition, report generation and pass-fail testing. Inputs from generator controller data outputs can be accepted to allow integration of full engine data.
