BlueBoard Ultra Hardware Tech
Series 5 OS Software Tech
Fault tolerant cooperation between up to 9 Ultra controllers or ECM units with no single point of failure.
System error monitoring, alarms and fault recovery.
“SmartFan” option to reduce cooling fan operation.
Most recent version of the BMP PID Engine.
Thermal runaway detection.
Supports standard NTC, PTC, semiconductor and thermocouple sensors.
Supports specialty sensors and data interpolation.
JSON based command processing and scripting.
Multiple command sources including web and direct connection all coexist.
User driven logging.
Built in tools for system performance monitoring.
Digital load balancing with automatic hot standby.
Support for Split PID Control.
Multiple datalogging formats.
Robust yet simple licensing.
JSON Based Commands and Scripts.
The Series 5 command processor queues JSON command strings from multiple sources.
Command sources include the web interface, direct serial connections and the internal CANBus. The JSON format commands can be very detailed while remaining easy to read.
The script engine processes scripts consisting of any command plus flow control items.
User Driven Logging.
Logging is initiated in response to the "LogItem" command.
Over 70 items can be logged on request. Any message can appear with the logged item. A log message can be date stamped and tagged to allow easy separation from the I/O stream.
Standard command qualifiers are accepted, for example, the "Response" key limits the output of extraneous data to the serial port.
Split PID Control.
If you are using multiple Ultra Controllers, the latest versions of the Series 5 software support a Split PID control strategy. Each controller can base its control decisions on all the available sensors. You can read more about Split PID Control here: Two sensors can be better than one.
Continuous improvement.
Continuous improvement drives everything we do. These waterfall diagrams show the improvement in control that each series of controllers has achieved. Fast control loops, innovative sensors and low noise design make Series 5 the best yet.
