SANSHO FPBA RECHARGEABLE Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery Module

Product Details

FPBA RECHARGEABLE Product Description

The SANSHO FPBA RECHARGEABLE Li-Ion Battery Module is engineered as a dedicated power-layer component within the FPBA Series programmable logic controller architecture. In modern industrial control systems, uninterrupted power continuity at the CPU level is not a convenience — it is a structural requirement. This module addresses that requirement by providing reliable rechargeable backup energy to sustain CPU memory retention, real-time clock accuracy, and program integrity during power interruptions, controlled shutdowns, or grid instability events.

Within a layered automation architecture, the FPBA RECHARGEABLE module operates at the power layer but directly supports the control layer. When paired with the FPBA CPU module — the central processing unit governing logic execution, I/O scanning, and communication scheduling — the battery module ensures that all accumulated runtime data, parameter configurations, and program states are preserved without manual intervention. This is particularly critical in applications where re-initialization after a power loss would require extended engineering time or risk production downtime.

At the I/O layer, the FPBA Series supports a range of digital and analog expansion modules. These modules depend on the CPU maintaining its operational state to correctly resume I/O scanning upon power restoration. The FPBA RECHARGEABLE module ensures that the CPU retains its last known I/O map and communication state, enabling seamless restart without re-commissioning. Complementary components such as the FP0R CPU unit, FP-X expansion I/O modules, and FPBA digital input/output cards benefit directly from this power-layer stability.

At the communication layer, FPBA-compatible systems frequently integrate Modbus RTU, RS-232C, RS-485, and PROFIBUS-DP interfaces. Communication parameter tables, node addresses, baud rate configurations, and protocol mappings are stored in CPU non-volatile memory — memory that the FPBA RECHARGEABLE module protects. In distributed control architectures where the FPBA CPU acts as a master station coordinating multiple remote I/O nodes or field devices, loss of these communication parameters would require full re-configuration of the network topology. The battery module eliminates this risk.

For HMI integration, FPBA-series PLCs are commonly paired with panel-mounted operator interfaces and touch-screen terminals. The real-time clock function within the FPBA CPU — sustained by the rechargeable battery — ensures that time-stamped alarms, event logs, and production records remain accurate across power cycles. This is essential for traceability in regulated industries such as pharmaceutical manufacturing, food processing, and energy management.

In redundant control architectures, where a secondary FPBA CPU module is deployed in hot-standby or warm-standby configuration, both primary and secondary CPUs require independent battery backup to maintain synchronization data and switchover logic. The FPBA RECHARGEABLE module supports this redundancy design by providing each CPU node with its own dedicated power reserve, ensuring that failover events do not result in data loss or communication disruption.

From a maintenance and lifecycle perspective, the rechargeable design of this battery module offers a significant operational advantage over non-rechargeable alternatives. The module recharges automatically from the FPBA CPU's internal power rail during normal operation, eliminating the need for scheduled manual battery replacement in most standard duty cycles. This reduces preventive maintenance overhead and lowers the total cost of ownership across multi-year deployment periods. For facilities managing large fleets of FPBA-series controllers — such as automotive assembly lines, water treatment plants, or mining conveyor systems — this self-sustaining power design translates directly into reduced field service visits and improved system availability.

Inventory availability and pre-shipment testing are integral to NANKMOS's supply commitment. Each FPBA RECHARGEABLE unit is verified for charge retention, terminal integrity, and compatibility with FPBA CPU backplane connectors before dispatch. Units are shipped from in-stock inventory with a 12-Month Warranty, supporting rapid project timelines and minimizing procurement lead times for system integrators and OEM panel builders.

Manufacturing & Assembly Lines: In automotive and electronics manufacturing, FPBA-series PLCs govern robotic cell sequencing, conveyor indexing, and quality inspection logic. The battery module ensures that production recipes, shift counters, and fault logs are preserved through planned shutdowns and emergency stops, enabling rapid line restart without re-entry of operational parameters.

Power & Energy Infrastructure: Substation automation and distributed energy management systems rely on accurate real-time clock data for event sequencing and fault recording. The FPBA RECHARGEABLE module sustains clock accuracy across grid switching events, ensuring that protection relay coordination and SCADA time-stamp integrity are maintained.

Water & Wastewater Treatment: Process control systems in water treatment facilities operate continuously with minimal staffing. The battery module supports unattended restart capability by preserving PLC program state and setpoint configurations, reducing the need for operator intervention after utility power interruptions.

Mining & Mineral Processing: In underground and surface mining operations, FPBA-series controllers manage conveyor drives, ventilation systems, and pump stations. The rechargeable battery module ensures that safety interlock logic and equipment runtime counters are retained through power fluctuations common in mining electrical environments.

Packaging & Process Lines: High-speed packaging machinery requires precise synchronization between PLC logic, servo drives, and vision systems. The FPBA RECHARGEABLE module protects the synchronization parameters and cam profile data stored in the FPBA CPU, enabling immediate production resumption after power restoration without manual re-calibration.

Q1: Is the FPBA RECHARGEABLE module compatible with all FPBA Series CPU variants?The FPBA RECHARGEABLE module is designed for use with FPBA Series PLC CPU units. Compatibility should be verified against the specific FPBA CPU model in your architecture, as connector form factor and charge circuit specifications may vary across CPU generations. NANKMOS technical support can confirm compatibility for your specific system configuration prior to order.

Q2: How does this battery module support long-term maintenance in multi-controller installations?The rechargeable design eliminates the need for periodic manual battery replacement under standard operating conditions, as the module recharges continuously from the CPU power rail. For large installations with multiple FPBA-series controllers, this significantly reduces scheduled maintenance intervals. NANKMOS recommends periodic charge retention verification as part of annual system audits, particularly in high-temperature or high-vibration environments.

Q3: What warranty and supply terms apply to the FPBA RECHARGEABLE module?All FPBA RECHARGEABLE units supplied by NANKMOS carry a 12-Month Warranty covering manufacturing defects and charge retention performance under normal operating conditions. Units are dispatched from verified in-stock inventory following pre-shipment functional testing.
