PowerWizard Configuration of Inputs

The document discusses how to configure input channels and event responses on PowerWizard controls. It provides instructions on configuring digital inputs to create events based on specific input triggers, and how to set the control's response to different types of events, such as initiating an audible alarm, soft shutdown, or breaker trip. Nine possible event response options are outlined. The document also gives an example of configuring a low fuel level shutdown event and confirming its default response is set to audible alarm and hard shutdown.

How to configure input channels on the PowerWizard controls

These instructions should be used in conjunction with the PowerWizard technical operation and maintenance manual. The user should be familiar with the PowerWizard module and how to manoeuvre through the different menus and how to change values and setpoints.
The PowerWizard 1.0 has six digital inputs; the PowerWizard 2.0 has eight digital inputs. The standard flash files has them configured as follows: Digital Use in standard flash file Required password Input level 1 Emergency Stop N/A 2 Remote Start N/A 3 Event Input Function #1 (usually High Coolant Temperature) 3 4 Event Input Function #2 (usually Low Oil Pressure) 3 5 Event Input Function #3 2 6 Event Input Function #4 2 7 Event Input Function #5 2 8 Event Input Function #6 2 Note: that this is only true for the standard flash file. Product Variant Request and Solutions can create special flash files that may not be set up the same as the standard shown above. If in doubt contact the factory.

To configure a spare input to create an event:


In order to configure an input to create an event, the following tasks need to be carried out. It is easier to explain with a specific example however the same basic principal is followed for any input and any response. Assuming that we want to set Digital Input 6 to Low Fuel Level Shutdown. The control will need to be at at-least password level 2. See the manual for more information on entering password levels. Digital input #6 drives Event input function #4. From the main menu, navigate Configure -> Setpoints -> Event Input Functions -> Event Input Function #4. There are four setpoints as follows: Active State High This controls the logic level internal to the control and should be left high, (it is not the trigger state which is set to active low in the Digital Input block). Activation time 5 Set the desired delay between the input being grounded and the event being created. For a Low Fuel Level Shutdown we would select a time of about 5 seconds. Suspect Other -> Fuel Level Defines what the event at fault is. Parameter Number Failure Mode Low Shutdown Defines how the event is at fault. Identifier

To configure the event systems response to an event:


In order to configure how the event system should respond when asked to create a specific event it is necessary to set the event system - event response configuration. Most events will have been set with the

desired response by default, (An Emergency stop is a hard shutdown and an audible alarm), but sometimes it will be desirable to set a difference response. Assuming we wish to confirm the response for a low fuel level shutdown; navigate as follows: Configure -> Setpoints -> Events -> Event response configuration -> Engine protection configuration-> Levels -> Then scroll down until Low Fuel (local tank) level shutdown. By selecting View it is possible to see what the present state of the event it, in this case the default is: Audible alarm and Hard Shutdown. There are nine possible responses for an event though it does not make sense for every response to be available for every event. They are as follows: Warning: Causes the Warning LED to illuminate on the control. Audible: Causes the audible alarm output to become active (and be muted with the acknowledge key), Audible can only be selected along with either a Warning or a Shutdown response. Soft Shutdown: The generator will cooldown and stop. It is only sensible to do a soft shutdown if the generator can get offload before it starts its cooldown run. Hard Shutdown: The generator immediately stops. Breaker Trip #1: While this response is intended to control a breaker (Generator, Utility or feeder) it will only do so if an output has been configured to trigger on this event response and the output has been wired to trip the breaker. Breaker Trip #2: While this response is intended to control a breaker (Generator, Utility or feeder) it will only do so if an output has been configured to trigger on this event response and the output has been wired to trip the breaker. Loss of Utility: In cases where the generator is monitoring the utility, this response can be configured to cause the generator to start when the utility fails. FPT enabled: If the Fault Protection Time is enabled, the event system will not create the event while the FPT is timing. This is required for events such as underspeed so that the generator has time to get to a normal value before the event is activated. Active Only: Active only events are not retained once they become inactive and as a result always have an occurrence count of 1 (as the event system does not remember then once they become inactive). This response is usually reserved for events that are not faults, such as in cooldown. As the event is not stored in the EEPROM, Active Only events can cause the event log to pass the normal 20 event maximum limit. Low fuel level Shutdown can be any of, Audible, Soft Shutdown, Hard Shutdown Breaker Trip #1, and Breaker Trip #2. It does not make sense for it to be a Warning, Loss of Utility, FPT enabled or Active Only and so these options are not permitted. Some events (such as overspeed) have responses set (in this case Hard Shutdown) that can not be deactivated.
