Processor/Control: In various exemplary embodiments, A-PEBB LRU 200.A may include the use of or integration of a controller or microcontroller unit (MCU) 227 for regulation of switches, contacts, capacitors, cooling systems (not shown in FIG. 2), on-board status sensors (not shown in FIG. 2), and other factors requiring real-time control. Such control systems 227 may entail the use of microprocessors, digital input/output elements, memory (such a random access memory (RAM) and various forms of non-volatile memory), display systems, audio input and/or audio signalling systems, and/or analogue control elements known in the art or to be developed. The MCU 227 may employ suitable-coded software, stored in memory, to control various aspects of A-PEBB LRU 200. In particular, the MCU 227 may support the dynamic field configuration of A-PEBB LRU 200.A.
If will be noted in FIG. 2 that the MCU 227 is shown as being communicatively coupled with the active power stages 300.1, 300.2, but not with the isolation power stages 210.1, 210.2. This is exemplary only and is not limiting. While the present disclosure is directed towards the control of the adaptable power stages 300, in some embodiments of the present system and method the isolation power stages 210 may still have some internal elements requiring control or change. In the latter embodiments, the MCU 227 may be communicatively coupled with the active power stages 300 and also the isolation power stages 210.
