MEAN WELL SBP-001 is a first-generation intelligent battery charging programmer for configuring supported MEAN WELL chargers from a personal computer. It supports PMBus, CANBus and UART and includes four communication-cable types. Its 5 V and 3.3 V interfaces supply up to 0.5 W in total for programming only.

Use SBP-001 with a personal computer and the dedicated software to configure supported MEAN WELL intelligent battery chargers. Programmable charging-curve parameters include constant current (CC), constant voltage (CV), float voltage (FV) and taper current (TC), subject to the selected charger.
The 5 V and 3.3 V interfaces share a total maximum programming power of 0.5 W. These outputs are for programming only and must not be used as battery-charging or general load-power outputs.
The USB connection links the programmer to the computer. No battery or AC power is required for the programming arrangement described in the catalogue.

Select the cable and communication branch for the actual charger configuration. The CANBus and PMBus branches are labelled separately on SBP#1, SBP#2 and SBP#3.
For the RCB connection, the diagram shows an RHP rack containing RCB modules, with the programmer connected at JK1. Use the designated JK1 interface in the applicable rack or charger installation for the RCB-1600, DBR-3200 and NCP-3200 entries; check the installation drawing before connecting.
The listed series identify supported programming applications. Confirm the exact charger version, communication option and charging settings against its own manual before use.
Included Cables and Computer Connection

Use the dedicated MEAN WELL software and the model-specific user manual for configuration. Match the selected charger and its permitted charging parameters before writing a curve.
The programmer, cable selection and communication settings form one programming connection. Use the labelled branch and the connector orientation shown in the drawings; confirm pin numbers rather than identifying a connection by wire colour alone.
