System overview
General description
InteliCompactNT Family controllers are comprehensive gen-set controllers for single and multiple generating sets operating in stand-by or parallel modes. A modular construction allows upgrades to different levels of complexity in order to provide the best solution for various customer applications. The controllers are equipped with a powerful graphic display showing icons, symbols and bar-graphs for intuitive operation, which sets, together with high functionality, new standards in Gen-set controls. The key features are: Easy-to-use operation and installation. Factory default configuration covers most of applications Different customer changes are possible thanks to the configurability Excellent remote communication capabilities High level of EFI engines support, most of world producers supported High reliability
Configurability
One of the key features of the controller is high level of adaptability of the system to the needs of every particular application. The way, how to achieve this, is the configuration. NOTE: Use LiteEdit PC software to the read configuration from the controller or disk, view it, modify it and write the configuration to controller or disk. The firmware contains large number of binary inputs and outputs needed for all necessary functions available in the firmware. But not all functions are required at the same time on the same gen-set and also the controller hardware does not have so many input and output terminals. One of main tasks of the configuration is mapping of "logical" firmware inputs and outputs to the "physical" hardware inputs and outputs. Configuration parts: 1. Mapping of logical binary inputs (functions) or assigning alarms to physical binary input terminals 2. Mapping of logical binary outputs (functions) to physical binary output terminals 3. Assigning sensor characteristics and alarms to analog inputs 4. Assigning control values and output characteristics to analog outputs 5. Selecting of peripherial modules which are connected to the controller and doing the same as above for them 6. Selecting of ECU type if an ECU is connected 7. Changing language of the controller texts
REFERENCE GUIDE.PDF
PRINCIPLE OF BINARY INPUTS AND OUTPUTS CONFIGURATION The controller is delivered with a default configuration, which should fit to most standart applications. This default configuration can be changed only using PC and LiteEdit software. See LiteEdit documentation for details. NOTE: You need one of communication modules to connect the controller to a PC with LiteEdit. There is a special easy removable service module for cases, where there is no communication module permanently attached. Once the configuration is modified, it can be stored in a file for later usage with another controller or for backup purposes. The file is called archive and has file extension "aic". An archive contains full image of the controller at the moment of saving (if the controller is online to the PC) except firmware, i.e. besides configuration there are also current adjustment of all setpoints, all measured values, a copy of history log and a copy of alarm list. The archive can be simply used for cloning of controllers, which means preparing controllers with identical configuration and settings.
Applications overview
Single applications
The typical scheme of a single parallel to mains application is shown below. The controller controls two breakers - mains breaker and generator breaker. Feedbacks from both breakers are required.
REFERENCE GUIDE.PDF
Multiple applications
The typical scheme of multiple island-parallel application without mains and with mains and AMF function is shown below. The controller controls one breaker only - generator breaker. Feedback from generator breaker is required. For parallel to mains operation also mains breaker feedback is required.

SPTM
General
To ensure proper function: Use grounding terminals. Wiring for binary inputs and analog inputs must not be run with power cables. Analog and binary inputs should use shielded cables, especially when length >3m.
REFERENCE GUIDE.PDF
13
Wiring
Tightening torque, allowable wire size and type, for the Field-Wiring Terminals: Based on terminal type: 1. PA256:
SPECIFIED TIGHTENING TORQUE 0,4NM (3,5 IN-LB) For field type terminals: Use only diameter 2,0-0,5mm (12-26AWG) conductor, rated for 75C minimum. For Mains(Bus) Voltage and Generator Voltage terminals Use only diameter 2,0-0,5mm (12-26AWG) conductor, rated for 90C minimum. Use copper conductors only.
Grounding
The shortest possible piece of wire should be used for controller grounding. Use cable min. 2,5mm2. Brass M4x10 screw with star washer securing ring type grounding terminal shall be used. The negative - battery terminal has to be properly grounded. Switchboard and engine has to be grounded in common spot. Use as short as possible cable to the grounding point.
Power supply
To ensure proper function: Use min. power supply cable of 1.5mm2 Maximum continuous DC power supply voltage is 36VDC. Maximum allowable power supply voltage is 39VDC. The InteliCompacts power supply terminals are protected against large pulse power disturbances. When there is a potential risk of the controller being subjected to conditions outside its capabilities, an outside protection devise should be used. It is necessary to ensure that potencial difference between generator current COM terminal and battery - terminal is maximally 2V. Therefore is strongly recommended to interconnect these two terminals together. HINT: The InteliCompact controller should be grounded properly in order to protect against lighting strikes!! The maximum allowable current through the controllers negative terminal is 4A (this is dependent on binary output load).
REFERENCE GUIDE.PDF
14
For the connections with 12VDC power supply, the InteliCompactNT includes internal capacitors that allow the controller to continue operation during cranking if the battery voltage dip occurs. If the voltage before dip is 10V, after 100ms the voltage recovers to 7 V, the controller continues operating. During this voltage dip the controller screen backlight can turn off and on but the controller keeps operating. It is possible to further support the controller by connecting the external capacitor and separating diode or I-LBA module:
The capacitor size depends on required time. It shall be approximately thousands of microFarads. The capacitor size should be 5 000 microFarad to withstand 150ms voltage dip under following conditions: Voltage before dip is 12V, after 150ms the voltage recovers to min. allowed voltage, i.e. 8V HINT: Before the battery is discharged the message "Low BackupBatt" appears. Or by connecting of a special I-LBA Low Battery Adaptor module:
The I-LBA module ensures min. 350ms voltage dip under following conditions: RS232 and other plug-in module are connected. Voltage before dip is 12V and after 350ms the voltage recovers to min. allowed voltage 5V. The I-LBA enables controller operation from 5VDC (for 10 to 30 sec). The wiring resistance from battery should be up to 0.1 Ohm for I-LBA proper function. HINT: I-LBA may not eliminate voltage drop when used with low temperature (-40C) version of controller and display heating element is on (below 5C). Current drain of heating element exhausts LBA capacitors very fast.
REFERENCE GUIDE.PDF
15
Fuse value and type depends on number of connected devices and wire length. Recommended fuse (not fast) type - T1A. Not fast due to internal capacitors charging during power up.
REFERENCE GUIDE.PDF
16
NOTE: IT IS NECESSARY TO ENSURE THAT POTENCIAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GENERATOR CURRENT COM TERMINAL AND BATTERY - TERMINAL IS MAXIMALLY 2V. THEREFORE IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED TO INTERCONNECT THESE TWO TERMINALS TOGETHER.
Speed measurement
The engine speed can be measured either from the generator frequency or from a magnetic pickup. If an EFI engine is configured, the engine speed is obtained from the ECU.
Pickup
A magnetic speed sensor (pickup) is the most common method of engine speed measurement. To use this method, mount the pickup opposite to the engine flywheel, connect the cable to the controller as shown on the picture below and adjust the setpoint Gear Teeth according to the number of teeth on the flywheel. See chapter Technical data for details about the pickup input parameters.
REFERENCE GUIDE.PDF
17
Generator frequency
If the pickup is not used, set the setpoint Gear Teeth to zero. The engine speed will be measured from the generator frequency. Connect the W terminal from the charging alternator instead of pickup, if possible. See picture below.
REFERENCE GUIDE.PDF
18
NOTE: The starter cut-off frequency has to be adjusted by the setpoint Start W Freq. If you know the charging alternator nominal frequency, adjust the setpoint to frequency obtained from following equation:
Oil pressure > Starting Oil P setpoint. The oil pressure is evaluated from the analog input 1 or from the ECU if ECU is configured. Generator voltage in at least one phase > 20% of nominal voltage
These signals are used during start for deenergizing the starter motor even if still no RPM is measured and also during stop for evaluation if the engine is really stopped.
Binary inputs
Use min. 1 mm2 cables for wiring of binary inputs. NOTE: The name and function or alarm type for each binary input have to be assigned during the configuration.
REFERENCE GUIDE.PDF
19
Binary outputs
Use min. 1 mm2 cables for wiring of binary outputs. Use external relays as indicated on the schematic below for all outputs except those where low-current loads are connected (signalization etc...). NOTE: The function of each output has to be assigned during the configuration. CAUTION! Use suppression diodes on all relays and other inductive loads!
REFERENCE GUIDE.PDF
20
Analog inputs
The analog inputs are designed for resistive automotive type sensors like VDO or DATCON. The sensors are connected either by one wire (the second pole is sensor body) or by two wires. In case of grounded sensors connect the AI COM terminal to the engine body as near from the sensors as possible. In case of isolated sensors connect the AI COM terminal to the negative power supply terminal of the controller as well as the opposite poles of the sensors.
NOTE: The fail sensor alarm is issued if the measured resistance is smaller than one half of the first (lowest) point of the sensor curve characteristic or is greater than 112,5% of the last (greatest) point of the sensor curve characteristic.
REFERENCE GUIDE.PDF
21
Tristate inputs
Analog inputs can be used also as binary or tristate, i.e. for contact sensors without or with circuit check. The threshold level is 750. In case of tristate, values lower than 10 and values over 2400 are evaluated as sensor failure (short or open circuit).
REFERENCE GUIDE.PDF
22
WIRING OF ANALOG INPUTS - USED AS BINARY OR TRISTATE NOTE: The name, sensor characteristic and alarm types for each analog input have to be assigned during the configuration.
Circuit breakers
There are two power switches controlled by the controller: The generator circuit breaker or contactor - GCB The Mains circuit breaker or contactor - MCB (SPtM application only)
It is possible to use either a motorized circuit breaker or contactor. Below is the list of avalilable control outputs that should fit to all types of contactors or breakers. Following rules have to be kept when designing the wiring of power switches and their wiring: The control outputs must be configured and wiring of the power switches must be provided such a way, that the controller has full control over the breakers - i.e. the controller can open and close the breaker at any time. The breaker must respond within max. 2 sec. to a close and open command. A special attention should be paid to opening of motorized circuit breakers, as it could take more than 2 sec. on some types. In such cases it is necessary to use undervoltage coil for fast opening. The breaker feedback functions must be configured onto some binary inputs and the signals from the breakers must be connected to it and provide true information about the breaker position.
REFERENCE GUIDE.PDF
23
OFF coil
An output giving pulse in the moment the breaker has to be opened. The pulse lasts until the feedback deactivates, but at least 2 sec. The output is intended for control of open coils of circuit breakers. The output is active the whole time the gen-set is running (GCB, not in idle or cooling) or the controller is switched on (MCB). The output is deactivated for at least 2s in the moment the breaker has to be switched off. The output is intended for control of undervoltage coils of circuit breakers.
UV coil
AVR interface
The AVR output is used to control the voltage or power factor of the generator via the remote voltage adjust input provided by the AVR. The output from the controller is a 5V PWM that is designed to be used together with IG-AVRi module. The AVRi module provides galvanic separation of the controller from the generator and PWM to voltage conversion, which is needed for most AVRs. The output from the IG-AVRi module is available as positive, negative or symmetric. The output voltage range is adjustable by a trimmer located on the module. The initial level of the AVR output is adjustable by the setpoint AVRi Bias.

AVRi trim = 1/16 from minimum ( =6,25% => max. = 2,5V). Volt/PF ctrl: AVR DCout bias = 50% VoltRegChar = POSITIVE The Vext input (connector CN1 terminals 10 and 11) permits analogical remote control of output voltage with a programmable variation range of up to 10% (parameter 16, by default the setting is 5%) with respect to the value set. If you want to use continuous voltage, it will be effective if it is in the range between 0V and +2,5V. The input tolerates voltages from 5V to +5V, but for values exceeding the limits of 0V / +2,5V (or in the event of disconnection) it is automatically disabled and the voltage adjustment goes back to the value set through the trimmer (if enabled) or through parameter 19 (as shown on the picture). Changing of DSR parameters requires PC with dedicated software and DI1-DSR unit! DSR automatically detects presence of transformer for parallel operation (if used it works with droop, if not used it works isochronous).

The PWM mode is designed and optimized for Caterpillar governors. The jumpers for speed governor output mode are shown on the picture below.
The initial level of the governor output is adjustable by the setpoint Speed Gov Bias and the characteristic (positive or negative) can be selected by setpoint Speed Gov Char. The active range of the output can be adapted to the governor input range by setpoints SpeedGovLowLim and SpeedGovHiLim. NOTE: Some governors may evaluate input voltage out of allowed range as a faulty condition and their function may be blocked.

IL-NT BIO8
Hybrid binary input/output module IL-NT BIO8 is optional plug-in card. Through this card controller can accommodate up to 8 binary inputs or outputs. In LiteEdit PC configuration tool (version 4.4 and higher) it is possible to easily choose if particular I/O will be binary input or output. To insert the module, you must open the cover first (use screwdriver to open) and then insert the module into slot. Once you have inserted it, the module will snap under plastic teeth. It is supposed to be installed permanently. Should you need to remove it, the safest way is to remove whole back cover and than remove module manually. Installing IL-NT BIO8 module is similar to installing RS 232 module. The difference is that module fits to extension module slot and after installing IL-NT BIO8 you do not put back the small cover.
Technical details: IL-NT BIO8 plugs into IC-NT controller EXTENSION MODULE port. 8 dedicated pins of the plug-in cards terminal can be configured as binary inputs or outputs.

EFI engines
To meet requests for low fuel consumption, low emmisions and high reliability, modern engines are electronically controlled by an "Engine Control Unit" (ECU). The ECU is fitted directly on the engine, it measures various engine parameters like speed, intake air flow, coolant temperature etc. and controls various actuators like injectors, ignition, valves etc. to achieve optimal operating conditions of the engine.
*
REFERENCE GUIDE.PDF
56
Most of the ECUs have also a communication interface to the rest of the system (e.g. a vehicle, a genset, a pump ...) to provide engine operational data, alarm conditions and also to enable remote control. The most commonly used interface is the CAN bus with SAE J1939 protocol or sometimes also RS485 with MODBUS protocol. The J1939 protocol was introduced by the SAE organization originally for automotive industry but now it is often used also for other engine applications. The specification of J1939 is partially open what means each engine producer can have little bit different kind of "implementation" of the J1939. This is why each new ECU type obviously needs slight modification of the controller firmware to support the particular ECU. The IC-NT controller supports most of J1939-based ECU types as well as Cummins Modbus ECU and new ECU types are added to the firmware as they appear in the field.

NOTE: The ECU values Oil pressure, Coolant temperature and Fuel level can be configured as source values for the controller analog inputs 1, 2, 3 instead of physical terminals.

Step-by-step guide
Following you will find a couple of steps which you should carry out when you are getting a gen-set into the operation. It supposes the switchboard wiring has been already checked. NOTE: This guide is not a handbook for a beginner, but it is focused on things specific for ComAp controllers and expects sufficient knowledge and skills in the field of generating sets! WARNING! Some parts of the generator, engine and switchboard may have dangerous voltage which can cause injury or death when touched! WARNING! Rotating parts of the gen-set can catch your hair or parts of clothes and cause serious injury.
1. Disconnect binary outputs from the controller before connecting the power supply. If you have SPtM application, be sure that MCB and GCB are protected agains accidental switching when you are working in the switchboard. 2. Check the controller configuration according to the wiring diagram of the switchboard. If the configuration has been modified, write it to the controller

67
3. Write all setpoints from the default archive and then go through them and readjust all of them if it is necessary. Pay special attention to nominal values, overspeed, gear teeths, Fuel solenoid and CT ratio. 4. Check all settings regarding speed sensing and additional running information, especially if you do not use pickup for speed sensing. 5. Adjust bias setpoints for the governor and AVRi output to the recommended levels and adjust all delays for generator protections to high values to have enough time for making adjustments on running gen-set. 6. Connect the binary outputs back. 7. Adjust all setpoints related to engine start and stabilization phase, then start the gen-set in MAN mode and then make fine readjustments. 8. Leave the gen-set running and adjust the governor and/or AVRi so that the gen-set will have speed and voltage near to the nominal values. If this is not possible to achieve by turning the trim on AVRi and/or governor, you can also slightly change the bias setpoints. NOTE: The bias setpoints must not be near the limits for the particular output, because the regulation loops need sufficient reserve of the output range on both sides to work correctly. 9. Adjust all generator and engine protections according to your needs including the delays. 10. Adjust the setpoint Phase Window to 0. This adjustment will disable issuing of the GCB close command during sychronizing, but the sychnonizing itself will be performed normally for the whole adjusted time. 11. Press the GCB button to start the synchronizing and then check by a voltmeter connected directly over the contactor if the sychroscope indication on the controller screen matches the voltage. The voltage must be near to 0V when the synchroscope is in 12 o'clock position and near to 2*Unominal when it is in 6 o'clock position. Check all three phases.
REFERENCE GUIDE.PDF
68
12. Adjust the setpoint Phase Window back to your desired value (typically 3-7). 13. Synchronize the gen-set with the mains or other gen-sets. Adjust the setpoints for voltage, frequency and angle regulation loops to achieve fast and reliable synchronization. 14. Adjust setpoints for power, power factor, loadsharing and VARsharing loops. 15. Check the rest of setpoints and then save the archive to your disk for backup purposes.

Operating modes
Selection of the operating mode is done through Mode buttons on the front panel or by changing of the Controller mode setpoint (from the front panel or remotely). NOTE: If this setpoint is configured as password-protected, correct password must be entered prior attempting to change the mode. NOTE: Mode can not be changed, if Access Lock input is active. There are following binary inputs that can be used to force one respective operating mode independently on the mode setpoint selection: Remote OFF Remote MAN Remote AUT Remote TEST Rem TEST OnLd
If the respective input is active the controller will change mode to the respective position according to the active input. If more inputs are active the mode will be changed according to priorities of the inputs. The priorities match the order in the list above. If all inputs are deactivated the mode will return to the original position given by the setpoint.
OFF
The GCB will be opened and the engine will be immediately stopped in this mode without unloading and cooling. After that it will stay Not ready and can not be started any way. The MCB is closed permanently (MCB Opens On = GENRUN) or is open or closed according to the mains is present or not (MCB Opens On = MAINSFAIL). No AMF function will be performed. Buttons MCB, GCB, START, STOP including the appropriate binary inputs for external buttons are not active.
MAN
The engine can be started and stopped manually using START and STOP buttons (or external buttons wired to appropiate binary inputs) in MAN mode. When the engine is running, GCB can be closed to a dead bus or synchronizing can be started by the GCB button. Also MCB can be closed and opened manually using the MCB button, regardless the mains is present or not. No autostart is performed. No reaction to the inputs Sys Start/Stop or Rem Start/Stop. A loaded engine in MAN mode will perform Load sharing and VAR sharing, but will not take place within the power management. NOTE: The breakers are internally locked to close two voltages against each other without synchonizing! The controller will automatically recognize if the breaker can be just closed or must be synchronized. CAUTION! The MCB can be opened manually in MAN mode. Accidental opening the MCB will cause the object (load) will remain without power!!!
AUT
The engine is started and stopped either by the binary input Rem Start/Stop (SPtM) or by the Load dependent autostart function (SPtM) or by the Power management (MINT). Buttons MCB, GCB, START, STOP including the appropriate binary inputs for external buttons are not active. The full start sequence up to the moment when the engine is loaded is automatic as well as unloading and the stop sequence.
REFERENCE GUIDE.PDF

WARNING! If a red alarm is present and the gen-set is in AUT mode, it can start by self after all red alarms becomes inactive and are acknowledged!!! To avoid this situation, adjust the setpoint Reset to MAN to the ENABLED position.
TEST
(SPtM only) The behavior of the controller in TEST mode depends mainly on setting of the ReturnFromTEST setpoint.
Automatic return
Setpoint ReturnFromTEST = ENABLED. The gen-set will be started when the controller is put to TEST mode and will remain running unloaded. If a mains failure occurs, the MCB will be opened and after Transfer Del the GCB will be closed and the gen-set will supply the load. After mains is recovered, the delay MainsReturnDel will count down and if elapses and the mains is still ok, the controller will synchronize back to the mains, transfer the load back to the mains (maximum time the both breakers are closed is given by BreakerOverlap setpoint) and the gen-set will remain running unloaded again until the mode is changed.
Manual return
Setpoint ReturnFromTEST = DISABLED. The gen-set will be started when the controller is put to TEST mode and will remain running unloaded. If a mains failure occurs, the gen-set will take the load after it has started. The load can be transferred to the gen-set also manually: If the GCB button is pressed, the controller will synchronize to the mains, transfer the load to the gen-set (maximum time the both breakers are closed is given by BreakerOverlap setpoint) and then open the MCB. If the MCB button is pressed, the controller will open the MCB, then wait for Transfer Del and finally close the GCB.
When the load is supplied by the gen-set and the mains is healthy, pressing of the MCB button will start reverse synchronizing and transfer the load back to the mains . The gen-set remains running until mode is changed.
This depends on position of the binary input ForwSyncDisable. After the binary input Rem TEST OnLd has been deactivated, the controller goes back to previous operation mode and it's behavior depends on it. In most cases it will be AUT mode and the controller will either stay supplying the load if the mains is failed, or will transfer the load back to the mains.
REFERENCE GUIDE.PDF
83
NOTE: During the BreakerOverlap time, when both breakers are closed, the load is controlled either to the constant Baseload level (if MCB has to be opened) or to zero level (if GCB has to be opened).
Periodic exercises
The output from the Exercise timer 1 is internally connected to the Remote TEST binary input to enable periodic testing of the gen-set. The controller must have AUT mode selected by mode buttons and other "mode forcing" binary inputs must not be active to ensure proper function of the exercise. NOTE: If a shutdown or other red alarm comes while the load is supplied from the gen-set and the mains is healthy, the load is switched back to the mains.
Engine start
Diesel engine
The setpoint Fuel Solenoid must be switched to DIESEL position. 1. After the command for start is issued (pressing START button in MAN mode, autostart condition is fullfiled in AUT mode or controller is switched to TEST mode), the output Prestart is energized for time period given by setpoint Prestart Time. 2. After the prestart has elapsed, the output Fuel Solenoid is energized and 0,5s after that the starter motor is activated by energizing the output Starter. 3. When one or more of following conditions are met, the both outputs prestart and starter are deenergized: The engine speed exceeds value of Starting RPM or One of additional running indication signals becomes active. 4. The controller remains in Starting phase until the engine speed exceeds value of Starting RPM, after that it is considered as started and Idle period will follow. 5. The maximal duration the starter motor is energized is given by setpoint MaxCrank time. If the engine does not start within this period, the starter motor is deenergized and a pause with length of CrnkFail pause will follow. Prestart output remains active during the pause. After the pause has elapsed, next start attempt is executed. The number of start attempts is given by setpoint Crank Attempts. 6. Once the engine is started, the Idle period follows. The binary output Idle/Nominal remains inactive (as it was during the start). The idle period duration is adjusted by setpoint Idle Time. 7. After the idle period has finished, the output Idle/Nominal is activated and the start-up sequence is finished. The stabilization phase follows.

Gas engine
The setpoint Fuel Solenoid must be switched to GAS position. 1. After the command for start is issued (pressing START button in MAN mode, autostart condition is fullfiled in AUT mode or controller is switched to TEST mode), the output Prestart is energized for time period given by setpoint Prestart Time. 2. After the prestart has elapsed, the starter motor is activated by energizing the output Starter. 3. When the engine speed exceeds 30RPM, the outputs Fuel Solenoid and Ignition are energized. 4. When the engine speed exceeds value of Starting RPM, the starter motor is deenergized, the engine is considered as started and Idle period will follow. CAUTION! Additional running indication signals are not evaluated during start of a gas engine. The Pickup must be used in any case!
5. The maximal duration the starter motor is energized is given by setpoint MaxCrank Time. If the engine does not start within this period, the starter motor and fuel solenoid are deenergized and a pause with length of CrnkFail Pause will follow. Prestart output and ignition remain active during the pause. After the pause has elapsed, next start attempt is executed. The number of start attempts is given by setpoint Crank Attempts. 6. Once the engine is started, the Idle period follows. The binary output Idle/Nominal remains inactive (as it was during the start). The idle period duration is adjusted by setpoint Idle Time. 7. After the idle period has finished, the output Idle/Nominal is activated and the start-up sequence is finished. The stabilization phase follows.

NOTE: The starting sequence will be interrupted in any moment if a stop command comes. NOTE: The Underspeed protection starts to be evaluated 5s after the engine has been started (according to point 4.). NOTE: When the engine is started (according to point 4.) the delay given by setpoint ProtectHoldOff will count down and after elapsing the protections configured as engine running only are started to be evaluated. Continue to the stabilization phase.
Stabilization
When the start-up sequence is finished, the gen-set goes to the stabilization phase. There are two timers (setpoints) in this phase: 1. Min Stab Time starts to count down just after idle period has finished. Generator voltage and frequency are not checked (respective protections are not evaluated) and GCB can not be closed even if generator voltage and frequency are in limits. 2. Max Stab Time starts to count down just after idle period has finished. Generator voltage and frequency are not checked (respective protections are not evaluated) but, opposite to previous timer, GCB can be closed (or synchronizing started) if generator voltage and frequency are in limits. In the situations, when the GCB is closed automatically (AUT, TEST modes), the closing of GCB or starting of synchronization will occur in the first moment when the generator voltage and frequency will get into limits and the Min Stab Time has already elapsed. In case the generator voltage or frequency do not get into limits within the Max Stab Time period, appropriate protection(s) will be activated and the gen-set will be cooled down and stopped. NOTE: The limits for the generator voltage and frequency are given by setpoints in the Gener protect group. NOTE: Value of the Min Stab Time setpoint must be lower than the value of Max Stab Time setpoint. Continue to the connecting to the load phase.
NOTE: The governor and AVR must be adjusted properly to achieve these limits as the controller does not perform any regulation and the regulation outputs have constant values given by AVRi Bias and Speed Gov Bias setpoints.

There are two ways how the gen-set can be connected to the load (busbar). It depends on the state of MCB feedback and on the measured mains/bus voltage.
Synchronizing
SPtM: If the MCB is closed, the busbar is considered to have identical voltage as measured on the mains. If the mains voltage/frequency is in limits, the gen-set is first synchronized with the mains and then the GCB is closed. MINT: If the measured bus voltage is in limits, the gen-set is first synchronized with the bus and then the GCB is closed. The synchronizing consists of voltage matching and frequency/angle matching. Maximum duration of synchronizing is given by setpoint Sync Timeout. If the synchronizing is not successful within this period of time, the Sync Timeout alarm will be issued. NOTE: The synchronization will be interrupted automatically if any of necessary conditions disappears during the synchronization process.
Voltage matching
The gen-set voltage is regulated to match the mains/bus voltage with tolerance given by setpoint Voltage Window. The regulation is adjusted by setpoints Voltage Gain and Voltage Int.
Frequency/angle matching
The gen-set frequency is regulated to match the mains/bus frequency first. The frequency regulation loop is active (setpoints Freq Gain and Freq Int). Once the frequency is matched, the regulation loop is switched to match the angle (setpoint Angle Gain). When the angle is matched with tolerance +/Phase Window for a time given by setpoint Dwell Time and the voltage is matched too, then the GCB is closed. NOTE: The GCB close command will be not issued, if the Phase Window setpoint is set to 0. Synchronizing will continue until Sync Timeout alarm occurs or the GCB is closed externally. NOTE: The matching loops will continue to run even the GCB close command has been already issued until the controller will receive GCB feedback or GCB fail alarm will occur. After the feedback has been received, the control loops are switched to load and power factor loops or load and power factor sharing respectively.
REFERENCE GUIDE.PDF

Load control
The load is maintained at the constant level given by setpoint Baseload. Regulation adjustment setpoints are available in the Sync/load control group. NOTE: In every moment when the requested load (e.g. baseload setpoint) changes, the ramp described in the chapter above will also take place.

Reverse synchronizing
The reverse synchronizing process is identical as Forward synchronizing, but MCB is closed instead of GCB. In case the reverse synchronizing is not successful, RevSyncTimeout alarm is issued and the gen-set continues in island operation. After the alarm has been reset the gen-set can try to make reverse synchronizing again.
Changeover
The changeover is performed if the reverse synchronizing is disabled with the RevSyncDisable binary input. The GCB is opened first and after a time period of Transfer Del the MCB is closed.

Power management
(MINT only) The power management is related to MINT application only. As "Power management" is called the process of automatic starts and stops of gen-sets within the group, depending on current load, state of the gen-sets and other conditions.
The concept
The power management is based on the load of the gensets, i.e. next gen-set will start when the load of the group raises above certain level. A next gen-set will stop, when the load drops down below a certain level. The proces of determining of starts and stops is done in each controller; there is no "master" in the system. Each of the controllers can be switched off without influencing the complete system (except the situation when the respective gen-set will be not available...) The load of the group is evaluated as so called reserve. The reserve is calculated as difference between actual and nominal load of running gen-sets. The reserve can be calculated as absoulute (in kW) or relative (in %). Use the setpoint #PowerMgmt Mode the calculation method. NOTE: Power management based on relative reserves perfectly fits for applications, where the load portions connected to the group at once are much lower than the gen-set capacity. This mode helps to achieve maximal lifetime of the gen-sets, as they can be operated within optimal load range. The maximal
REFERENCE GUIDE.PDF
93
size of the load connected at once depends on number of actually working gen-sets. The more gen-sets are connected to the busbar the bigger load portion can be connected at once. Power management based on absolute reserves can be successfuly used also for cases where the load portions are similar to the gen-set capacity or even bigger. The goal of the absolute reserve mode is that the system provides always the same reserve power capacity independently on how many gen-sets are currently running and this why this mode perfectly fits for industrial plants with large loads.
Basics
The setpoint Pwr Management enables and disables the gen-set to be active within the power management of the group and make automatic load dependent starts and stops. If the power management is disabled, the gen-set will run or not depending only on the binary input Sys Start/Stop and the start and stop will not depend on the load of the group. The binary input Sys Start/Stop activates and deactivates the gen-set. If the input is not active, the gen-set will stop with delay #SysAMFstopDel after the input has been deactivated and will not start again. It can be started in MAN mode only. When the input is activated again, the delay #SysAMFstrtDel will start to count down and after that the gen-set is activated and can start due to power management.
NOTE: The gen-set will take part of the power management (= will be active) only if the controller is in AUT mode! NOTE: The gen-set performs load and VAR sharing whenever it is connected to the busbar i.e. it is independent on whether the controller is in AUT or MAN mode or whether the power management is active or not.
Running ActPwr = sum of actual load of all active gen-sets within the group, that are Pact connected to the bus. In parallel to mains operation and baseload mode the baseload level is taken to the equation instead of actual gensets load. Pnom Running NomPwr = sum of nominal power of all active gen-sets within the group, that are connected to the bus. If the current system reserve drops below the adjusted reserve for start, the delay #NextStrt Del will start to count down on the gen-sets, which have decided to start. If the reserve remains under the limit for the whole countdown period, the gen-set(s) will start. If the system reserve drops below zero (i.e. the system is overloaded), the delay #OverldNext Del will start to count down on the gen-sets, which have decided to start. If the reserve remains under the limit for the whole countdown period, the gen-set(s) will start. If the system reserve raises over the adjusted reserve for stop, the delay #NextStopDel will start to count down on the gen-sets, which have decided to stop. If the reserve still remains over the limit, the gen-sets will stop. There are two pairs of setpoints for adjusting reserves for start and stop. Normally the pair #LoadResStrt 1 and #LoadResStop 1 is active. By the binary input Load Reserve 2 the second pair #LoadResStrt 2 and #LoadResStop 2 is activated.
REFERENCE GUIDE.PDF
94
With adjusting nonzero value to the setpoint #Min Run Power and activating the function by binary input Min Run Power it is possible to limit the number of running gensets so that the total nominal power of the loaded gen-sets will never drop below this level even the reserve for stop is fulfilled.
NOTE: If the setpoint is adjusted to maximum, the function will force all gen-sets to run.
Priorities
The priority of the gen-set within the group is given by the setpoint Priority. Lower number represents "higher" priority, i.e. a gen-set with lower number will start before another one with higher number. If the binary input Top Priority is active, the gen-set gets highest priority (0) independently on the sepoint setting. If more than one gen-set have the same priority, they will act as "one big" gen-set.
NOTE: It is possible to switch automatically priorities of the gen-sets by using of Run Hours Equalization function which can be setup in #RunHrsMaxDiff setpoint.
NOTE: When evaluating the stop condition, the controller computes actual reserve without taking in account the nominal power of self - i.e. it evaluates, how the reserve will be if the respective gen-set stops.
REFERENCE GUIDE.PDF
95
REFERENCE GUIDE.PDF
96
Reaction to alarms
If a Shutdown or BOC alarm occurs, the gen-set will be taken out from the power management and next gen-set will start if necessary. If a Slow stop alarm occurs, the gen-set will be taken out from the power management, but the alarm will be suppressed for a definite time to give next gen-set chance to start and connect to the bus to get the reserve back over the start level. The alarm is suppressed until the reserve will get back over the start level (can occur either due to next gen-set has connected to the bus or the load has decreased..) or timeout given by setpoint #SlowStopDel has elapsed. The alarm will not be suppressed, if there is no other available gen-set that can start.
REFERENCE GUIDE.PDF
97
AMF function
(SPtM only) The "AMF function" represents the automatic start in case the mains has failed and stop after the mains has been restored. The automatic start can be enabled or disabled by the setpoint AMFStartEnable. NOTE: The AMF function works only in AUT mode!
Vector shift
If a mains failure occurs during parallel to mains operation, in most cases it causes a fast change of the generator load. This change can be measured as a jump of the vector of the generator voltage and evaluated as a symptom of mais failure. The vector shift limit for evaluation of a mains failure is adjustable by setpoint VectorShiftLim. NOTE: Vector shift is beeing evaluated only while the gen-set is working parallel to the mains.
REFERENCE GUIDE.PDF
98
NOTE: The automatic start of the gen-set due to AMF function can be disabled by the input MainsFailBlock. If the gen-set is already running and the input is activated, the gen-set will cool down and stop. The control of breakers is not affected by this input.
4. If the setpoint MCB Opens On is set to GENRUN, the MCB is opened once the generator voltage is in limits. 5. If the mains becomes healthy back and the gen-set is still not connected to the load, the controller interrupts the startup process and closes back the MCB. 6. The GCB is closed and the gen-set begins to supply the load. 7. After the mains became healthly back, the timer MainsReturnDel begins to count down and when finished, either reverse synchronizing or switchover is performed. This depends on the binary input RevSyncDisable. If active, switchover is performed instead of reverse synchronizing. 8. In case of reverse synchronizing the maximum time both GCB and MCB are closed together (if there is no demand to continue in parallel operation) is given by setpoint BreakerOverlap. 9. If no demand for parallel operation is active (binary input Rem Start/Stop), the GCB is opened and the gen-set cooldown and stop follows. NOTE: For description how to make a test of AMF function, see chapter operating modes, TEST mode paragraph.
When the cooldown is finished, the output Fuel Solenoid is deenergized and Stop Solenoid is energized. The engine shall stop within time period adjusted by setpoint Stop Time. If the engine does not stop within this time, the alarm Stop fail will be issued. The output Stop Solenoid is energized until the engine is stopped, but at least for time period of Stop Time. If the Stop time has elapsed and the engine is still not stopped, the stop solenoid is deenergized for 5s and then energized again for max. Stop time and this repeats until the engine is stopped. The output Ignition is continuously energized until the engine is stopped.

Alarm management
The controller evaluates two levels of alarms. Level 1 - yellow alarm - is a pre-critical alarm, that is only informative and does not take any action regarding gen-set control. Level 2 - red alarm represents critical situation, where an action has to be taken to prevent damage of the gen-set or technology. One alarm of any type can be assigned to each binary input Two alarms (one yellow and one red type) can be assigned to each analog input There are also built-in alarms with fixed alarm types. Each alarm is written to the Alarm list. Each alarm causes writing of a record into the history log. Each alarm activates the Alarm and Horn output. Each alarm can cause sending of a SMS mesage or an e-mail.
Alarm handling
There are two different alarm categories regarding the period when the alarms are evaluated. The category is selectable for alarms assigned to binary/analog inputs and fixed for built-in alarms. The categories are following: 1) The alarm is evaluated all the time when the controller is switched on. 2) The alarm is evaluated only when the engine is running. This type should be used for example for oil pressure. These alarms are started to be evaluated after the engine has been started with delay given by setpoint ProtectHoldOff. 3) The alarm is evaluated only when the generator is excited. These alarms are started to be evaluated after the engine has been started and Max Stab Time has elapsed or GCB has been closed. They remain beeing evaluated until cooling has finished. Only Generator under/overvoltage, Generator voltage unbalance and Generator under/overfrequency belong to this category. This category is not configurable to binary and analog input alarms. If an alarm is beeing evaluated and appropriate alarm condition is fulfilled, the delay of evaluation will start to run. The delay is adjustable by setpoint (built-in alarms, analog input alarms) or is fixed to 500ms (binary input alarms). If the conditions persist, the alarm will activate. The alarm will not activate, if the condition dismisses while the delay is still running. After pressing Fault reset button or activating binary input FaultResButton all active alarms change to confirmed state. Confirmed alarms will disappear from the Alarm list as soon as the respective condition dismisses. If the condition dismisses before acknowledging the alarm, the alarm will remain in the Alarm list as Inactive. See also Browsing alarms chapter.
REFERENCE GUIDE.PDF
100
NOTE: The input Sd Override can be used for temporary disabling of red alarms to take their actions. This input may be used in situations where providing the power is extremely important - e.g. if the gen-set drives pumps for fire extinguishers (sprinklers).
Alarm states
An alarm can have following states: Active alarm: the alarm condition persists, alarm delay has elapsed. Inactive alarm: the alarm condition has disappeared, but the alarm has not been confirmed. Confirmed alarm: the alarm condition persists, but the alarm has already been confirmed.
Warning (WRN)
The Warning alarm does not perform any actions regarding gen-set control.
Shutdown (SD)
The Shutdown alarm opens GCB immediately and stops the engine immediately without cooling. NOTE: It is not possible to start the engine if any red level protection is active or not confirmed. CAUTION! The gen-set can start by self after acknowledging the alarms if there is no more active red alarm and the controller is in AUT or TEST mode!

SENSOR FAIL EVALUATION EXAMPLE NOTE: The sensor fail alarm does not influence the gen-set operation.
Alarmlist
Alarmlist is a container of active and inactive alarms. It will appear automatically on the controller display, if a new alarm occurs, or can be displayed manually from the display menu It can contain up to 16 alarms, but first 7 are visible on the screen. If it is full, recently comming alarms are not displayed. Active alarms are shown as inverted, not yet confirmed alarms are marked with asterisk on the beginning. An alarm message in the alarmlist begins with a prefix, which represents the alarm type (like WRN). Then the alarm name follows. In some cases the prefix can be ommited.
REFERENCE GUIDE.PDF
102
NOTE: The Alarmlist can be read out from the controller via Modbus. See Modbus description chapter.
ECU Alarmlist
The ECU Alarmlist contains alarms that are received from the ECU. The alarms are represented by the Diagnostic Trouble Code, which contain information about the subsystem, where the alarm occured, alarm type and alarm occurence counter. Most common fault codes are translated into text form. Other fault codes are displayed as numeric code and the engine fault codes list must be used to find out the reason. NOTE: The ECU AlarmList is visible only if an ECU is configured.

The history log is an area in the controller nonvolatile memory, where "snapshots" of the system are recorded in moments, when important events occur. The history log is important for expecially for diagnostics of failures and problems. The capacity is over 100 records and it works as FIFO, i.e. the newest record overwrites the oldest one. Each record has the same structure and contains: The event which caused the record (e.g. "Overspeed alarm" or "GCB closed") Date and time when it was recorded All important data values like RPM, kW, voltages etc. from the moment the event occured ABBREVIATION DESCRIPTION Num Reason Date Time RPM Pwr PF LChr Vg1 Vg2 Vg3 Ig1 Ig2 Ig3 OilP EngT FLvl AIM1 AIM2 AIM3 AIM4 BIN BIM BIOE BOUT BOM SRO Row number (0 corresponds to the last record, -1 to the previous one etc.) Reason of history record (any event or alarm related to the gen-set Date Time Engine rotations per minute Generator active power Generator power factor Generator load character Generator voltage Ph1 Generator voltage Ph2 Generator voltage Ph3 Generator current Ph1 Generator current Ph2 Generator current Ph3 Oil pressure measured on the first analog input Engine temperature measured on the second analog input Fuel level measured on the third analog input Analog input 1 on IG-IOM extension module Analog input 2 on IG-IOM extension module Analog input 3 on IG-IOM extension module Analog input 4 on IG-IOM extension module Controller binary inputs Binary inputs on IG-IOM extension module Extension Module Binary Inputs/Outputs Controller binary outputs Binary outputs on IG-IOM extension module Speed regulator output (see chapter Speed Governor Interface) Voltage regulator output (see chapter AVR Interface)

NOTE: The contents of the history log will be deleted after programming firmware or configuration to the controller. The history log can be displayed on the controller screen or in the LiteEdit. If an archive (*.ail file) is saved in LiteEdit, it will contain also the history log. The archive can be later opened in offline mode to view the history log offline. NOTE: The first history record after the controller is switched on, programmed or watchdog reset occurs contains diagnostic values instead of operational. Some fields in these records seem to have nonsense values. Do not take these values into account.

Exercise timers
There are two exercise timers available in the controller, which are based on the RTC clock. Both of them are identical. Each timer has following settings (in the Date/time setpoint group): MINT No Func Mode OFF AutoRun SPtM No Func Mode OFF MFail Blk TEST TEST OnLd There is no any other function, but binary output Exerc Timer 1 or Exerc Timer 2 activation When this option is chosen then the Timer output is also internally connected to the Remote OFF binary input When this option is chosen then the Timer output is also internally connected to the MainsFailBlock binary input. When this option is chosen then the Timer output is also internally connected to the Remote TEST binary input. When this option is chosen then the Timer output is also internally connected to the Rem TEST OnLd binary input. There is no any other function, but binary output Exerc Timer 1 or Exerc Timer 2 activation When this option is chosen then the Timer output is also internally connected to the Remote OFF binary input When this option is chosen then the Timer directly starts gen-set (in AUT mode)
The timer outputs are available as binary outputs Exerc Timer 1 and Exerc Timer 2. NOTE: Timers are activated even in the middle of the cycle. It means that even when the controller is switched on after the moment when the timer should have been started and before it should have been finished timer is activated for the rest of the duration period. Timer functions can be activated only in AUT mode (not in OFF/MAN or TEST). There are 2 timers. In case both Timers are active at the same time Timer 1 has higher priority then Timer 2.

Analog switches
One analog switch (comparator) is assigned to each analog input to the controller. The switches are suitable for preheat control, day tank fuel pump control and others. Associated setpoints are located in the setpoint group Analog switches. One binary output is associated to each switch
REFERENCE GUIDE.PDF
108
Power switch
There is also one switch assigned to the gen-set active power, which is called Power switch. The setpoints for on and off level adjustment are located in the setpoint group Analog switches. The output is provided as the binary output Power switch. The behavior of the switch depends on setpoints adjustment.

PI regulation adjustment
The exact adjustment of a PI loop always depend on the engine and generator characteristic. But there is a general rule, which can be used in the beginning of adjustment process: Prepare the system for adjustment. I.e. set limits for related alarms temporarily to values, which will disable the alarms, set the sychro timeout to maximum value etc. Adjust the gain to 5% and integration to 0% Switch the gen-set to MAN mode, start it and put it to the operation phase, where the appropriate regulation loop is active. Increase the gain slightly until the controlled quantity starts to oscillate. Then put it back to cca one half of the value, where the oscillations started. Increase the integrative factor slightly to achieve acceptable response to changes. Too small I-factor will cause too slow response, too high I-factor will cause overshooting or even oscillations.
NOTE: It may be helpful to disable issuing the GCB close command when adjusting synchronization loops. Adjust the setpoint Phase Window to 0 to disable it. Adjust the setpoint back to it's original value after the adjustment is finished. CAUTION! Be ready to press emergency stop button in case the regulation loop would start to behave unacceptable.

Setpoints
Setpoints are analog, binary or special data objects which are used for adjusting the controller to the specific environment. Setpoints are collected to groups according to their meaning. Setpoints can be adjusted from the controller front panel, PC, MODBUS etc.
Pasword protection
Each setpoint can be protected by password against unauthorized change. The password protection can be assigned to the setpoints during the configuration procedure. See the chapter Operator guide for instructions how to enter and modify password. See also LiteEdit help to learn about working with password in LiteEdit.
Setpoint synchronization
Setpoints, that are marked with "#" sign at the begin of their names, are synchronized with other controllers present on the CAN bus line, i.e. the system will ensure that the respective setpoint will have identical value in each connected controller. If the setpoint is changed in one controller, the same change will occur in all other controllers. This function is necessary especially for MINT application, where the system of Power management is based on fact that the respective setpoints are identical in all controllers. All parameters marked as shared (starts with #) are overwritten during archive download in case there is no another single controller visible on CAN bus (= there is just one number 1 in Values -> Info -> CAN16 and CAN32, what means only the controller (the archive is downloaded to). In case there is another controller (even just single one = there are at least two numbers 1 in Values -> Info -> CAN16 and CAN32) on CAN bus the shared parameters are not overwritten.

CAUTION! Do not perform repeated writing of setpoints (e.g. power control from a PLC by repeated writing of baseload setpoint via Modbus) The setpoints are stored in EEPROM memory, which can be overwritten more than 105 times without risk of damage or data loss, but it may become damaged, when allowed number of writing cycles is exceeded!

Values
Values (or quantites) are analog or binary data objects measured or computed by the controller, that are intended for reading from the controller screen, PC, MODBUS etc. Values are collected to groups according to their meaning. NOTE: Complete overview of all data objects available in the controller can be exported by LiteEdit into a text file. Open any connection (also off-line with a previously saved archive) and go to menu Controller -> Generate CFG image.
Invalid flag
If there are no valid data available for a particular value, the invalid flag is set to it. The reason for this situation can be following: The value is not beeing evaluated in the scope of current application and configuration. Sensor fail is detected on an analog input. The configured ECU or extension module does not provide the particular value. The communication with the ECU or extension module is interrupted.
A value containing the invalid flag is displayed as "####" in the LiteEdit and on the controller screen. If such a value is read out via Modbus, it will contain data 32768 in case of signed values and 65535 in case of unsigned values.

Language support
The controller contains memory slots for 2 languages. There are English and Chinese in default archives. The languages can be changed from LiteEdit software using dictionaries. There are two types of dictionaries: Default dictionaries are distributed together with the controller firmware. Custom dictionaries are created by the user during the translation process.
The custom dictionary is used for storing of translations that were made by the user because there was no default dictionary for the particular language, the default dictionary was incomplete or the user just wants to have different translations. For more information about languages and translations see the LiteEdit help. It is possible to create any language, which uses a code page that is supported by the controller: Win 1250 - Middle Europe Win 1251 - Eastern Europe (Cyrilic) Win 1252 - Western Europe, America Win 1254 - Turkish GB2312 - Chinese

MINT specific
Binary input: Sys Start/Stop
Related applications Description MINT This input activates the power management in the controller. If this input is not active, the gen-set is stopped in AUT mode and does not take part within the power management of the group. NOTE: In most cases this input is wired parallel into all controllers within the group to activate and deactivate the whole group. If you want to deactivate one particular genset, switch it out from AUT mode. NOTE: If the power management is disabled by the Pwr Management setpoint, the gen-set is started and stopped only according to this input.

MINT specific
Binary output: System Ready
Related applications Description MINT This output is closed if the gen-set group is able to take the current load and keep the reserve greater than the currently selected reserve for start. This output should be normally closed while the group works in automatic power management mode. If the output is open, it means the whole gen-set group is overloaded. It will open i.e. if a red alarm occurs on one gen-set and there is no other gen-set available to start instead of the stopped one. NOTE: This output does not provide information, that the reserve is already reached, it only gives information, that there is enough capacity within gen-set group to reach the reserve.
SPtM specific
Binary output: MCB Close/Open
Related applications Description SPtM This output is to be used for a contactor control in case a contactor is used in the MCB position. See the chapter Circuit breakers for details about all outputs available for generator/mains power switches.

Related All applications Description This alarm occurs if the gen-set shall be stopped, but some symptom indicates that it is not stopped. The period when the gen-set shall be stopped begins after the fuel has been switched off and time delay Stop time has elapsed and lasts for the all time the fuel resp. starter motor are off.
See chapter Cooldown and stop to learn more about symptoms that are taken in account for the evaluation of stopped engine.
NOTE: The gen-set can not be started until this alarm is inactive and reset.

Related All application s Description The overcurrent alarm is based on IDMT principle. The reaction time of an IDMT alarm is not fixed, but depends on how much is the protected value (generator current in this case) above the limit (nominal current). The higher is the overcurrent, the shorter the reaction time will be. All generator phases are evaluated. The behavior of the overcurrent alarm is adjusted by following setpoint:

Amps IDMT Del which defines the reaction time at the double of nominal current.
The nominal current level, where the alarm starts to be evaluated, is given by Nomin Current. The reaction time is infinite at this point.
