PSU overview:
PSU -> PSU -> controller wiring

10-wire flat-cable with 2mm pitch 2x5 connectors runs from J266->J231->Controller-IN
See connector J266 and J231

The PSU board has two identical PSU's onboard that provide 24VDC
The right-most PSU also has a set of pins used for connecting current-transformer circuitry to the controller.
The left-most PSU only has 2 pins connected for 24VDC, nothing else.


Controller overview:

The controller provides ethernet and serial connectivity; as well as a 2-digit display and a 3-color status-led to indicate errors and/or amperage. It also has a single button to interact with the device, as well as a pin-hole switch that allows for factory-resets.

Main things to replicate:
- 24VDC 'merging'
- Faulty PSU detection
- Ethernet function
- Serial function (if desired)
- 24VDC->3.3VDC conversion (for relay-board logic)
- I2C bus to control relay-board
- Adress-bus lines (can be hard-wired)


The controller drives the relay-board with a similar 10-conductor flatcable with 2x5pin 2mm headers.
It provides 24VDC and 3.5VDC power to the relay-board with seperate GND's.
It also provides an I2C bus (SDA/SCL) and 3 'address-lines'.
See connector J131

Relay board:
There are 2 main parts to the relay-board. The IO-logic and the relay-logic.

Relay-board IO logic:

The relay-board uses a PCF8574 'Remote 8-Bit I/O Expander for I2C Bus' to provide 8 outputs that drive the relays.
It is powered with 3.5VDC from the controller-board which creates it from the 24VDC available there.
The PCF85674 has 3 address-strapping lines A0,A1,A2 that allow selecting the I2C slave-addresses for both READ or WRITE operations. See table later in the document.
In single-board operation, strapping all pins to L would put the READ address at 0x41 and WRITE at 0x40
The relay-boards can be daisy-chained by connecting a next board to the J231 of the first.
For this to work, however, at least one, and at most two, address-lines will need to be strapped H
The reason for this is the manner in which the A0-A2 lines are presented on the J231 connector. They are shifted one pin, 

Signal    J131         +-------------+                 J132
  A0        7 ---------|---------+   +------  7   
  A1        9 ---------|--+      +----------  9
  A2       10 ---------+  +----------------- 10


The PCF8574 provides 8 outputs that drive the relays using a circuit that first INVERTS the data via a NOR port (one pin strapped to ground, the other connected to the PCF8574) before running to one of the 8 relay-circuits that switch the 220VAC power provided to one of the 8 output terminals.
The 8 NOR ports for this setup are provided by 2x 7402 IC's and seem to function both as a signal-conditioner as well as a way to ensure the power-on state is 'on' for each of the relay circuits (needs to be verified).

Relay-board relay circuit:

Each of the 8 relay-circuits is identical and consists of:
- A small switching-transistor driven from a NOR-gate, switching 24VDC
- A Relay-coil being driven by the switching-transistor
- A flyback diode across the relay in reverse-polarity for circuit-protection
- An ESD-protection diode ( -->|-+->|-- ) that is employed to help drive an LED
                                 |
- An LED
- A series resistor to current-limit
