1 Introduction
Millennium II
The J85501P-1 Galaxy Millennium II controller is the next generation full-featured
power system controller from
Lineage Power . It provides control, monitoring, and alarm
monitoring functions over a multi-drop serial interface that interconnects system
rectifiers, converters, Bay Interface Cards (BICs), and other serial devices. It utilizes
robust RS-485 serial busses that support the Galaxy Protocol (GP) to communicate to
these devices. The Millennium II has a plethora of I/O and monitoring options. It can
monitor and control battery plants containing up to 64 Galaxy serial rectifiers, up to 16
serial converters, and up to 32 BICs. A maximum combination of 85 GP nodes can be
directly managed on the rectifier serial bus. The Millennium II performs many functions
described more thoroughly in following sections. Following is a high level view.
• Alarm Detection, Identification, and Reporting

This controller replaces the existing +24V and -48V versions of the Millennium
controller with a single unit. While becoming easier to use, the Millennium II adds
additional functionality to the comprehensive feature set now provided by the existing
Millennium. The Millennium II is
Lineage Power’s new flagship controller product. The
separate Independent (Basic), Intelligent, and network interface circuit packs of the
existing Millennium controller have been integrated into a single standard board offering
with the Millennium II. This eliminates the need to manage multiple boards for features
as well as plant voltage. Intelligent functionality with remote 10/100 Base-T network
access capability to display power system operating status and available information via
the world wide web (internet) or your enterprise network (intranet) using standard
browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer® or Netscape® Navigator is now the
standard offering.
