Safety Instructions General Instructions

This document includes important instructions that should be followed during installation and

maintenance of the generator set controller.

For safety reasons, the manufacturer recommends that this equipment be installed and serviced by

an authorized service personnel. Follow all applicable state and local electrical codes.

Efficient and safe operation of the controller can be acquired only if the equipment is correctly

operated, configured and maintained.

Note: Many accidents arise due to ignorance or illiteracy towards the elemental rules of safety and

precautions.

The following safety notations found throughout this document indicate potentially hazardous conditions

to the operator, service personnel or the equipment.

• Highlights an essential element of a procedure to ensure correctness

• Indicates a procedure or practice, which could result in damage or destruction of equipment, if not followed strictly

• Indicates a procedure or practice, which could result in injuring personnel or loss of life, if not followed correctly

Electrical safety Electric shock can cause severe personal injury or death.

Ensure the generator set must be grounded before performing any installation or service.

Generators produce high electrical voltages direct contact with it can cause fatal electrical shock.

Prevent contact with terminals, bare wires, connections, etc., while the generator and related

equipment are running. Do not tamper with interlocks.

To handle the maximum electrical current, sizes of wire gauge used for electrical connections and

wirings must be appropriate to which they will be subjected to.

In operation safety Before installing genset controller, ensure that all power voltage supplies are positively turned off at

their source. Disconnect the generator’s battery cables and remove panel fuse to prevent accidental

start up. Disconnect the cable from the battery post, indicated by a NEGATIVE, NEG, or (–) first.

Reconnect the negative cable last. Failure to do so will result in hazardous and possibly fatal electrical

shock.

Remove electric power supply before removing controller or touching other electrical parts.

Use extreme caution when working on electrical components. High voltage can cause injury or death.

Use rubber insulative mats placed on dry wood platforms over floors that are metal or concrete when

working near generator set or other electrical equipment.

Do not wear damp clothing (Particularly wet shoes) or allow skin surface to be damp when handling

electrical equipment.

Do not operate any electrical device or wires while standing in water, while barefoot, or while hands or

feet are wet. It may result in severe electrical shock.

Do not wear jewellery. Jewellery can cause a short circuit within electrical contacts and cause shock

or burning.

In case of an accident caused by electric shock, immediately shut down the electrical power source. If

this is not possible, try to release the victim from the live conductor. Avoid direct contact with the

victim. Use a nonconducting object, like, a rope or wooden stick, to release the victim from the live

conductor. If the victim is unconscious, apply first aid and get immediate medical help.

*The charge fail is a combined input and output terminal. When the genset starts, the terminal provides the excitation current to the charge alternator field winding. After the excitation is successfully done, the controller reads the charging alternator's output voltage for monitoring its health. The action for charge fail is configurable.

Sensor Common Point

The sensor common point (SCP) terminal (Pin # 16) of the controller should be directly connected to an electrically sound point on the engine body. This point on the engine body should serve as a common reference point for all analog sensors such as those for measuring lube oil pressure, engine temperature and fuel level. The electrical cable used for the connection should not be shared with any

other electrical connection. Such a wiring practice is strongly recommended to ensure that there is negligible potential difference, if any, between the engine body and the controller's SCP terminal, and, predictable and accurate analog sensor measurements are always available in a wide variety of field conditions.

Deep Sleep Mode Feature

Deep Sleep Mode is a useful feature to prolong the battery life.

In this mode, normal functions of the controller are suspended, and controller is placed into its lowest power consumption state. Controller maintains the status and alarms it had before Deep Sleep Mode. When the controller wakes up, normal operations are resumed automatically.

The controller goes in Deep Sleep Mode when there is no user interaction for the pre-set Deep Sleep Mode Delay.

GCU does not go to Deep sleep mode in following conditions:

• In auto (Site, cyclic, exercise and remote start/stop) modes

• Mains monitoring is enabled, and mains contactor configured as output

• MODBUS communication is enabled

Comes out of deep sleep mode by pressing either of following keys (not press & hold):

• Stop key

• Start key

• Auto key

• Ack key

Start and Stop Sequence

Start and stop sequence is described below with flow chart. It explains the behaviour of the controller

when it receives start and stop command.

Start Sequence

Figure 16: Flow chart of start sequence

Once the start command is received by the controller/controller enters Start Wait State. After Start Delay (Manual or Auto Start Delay) is over, if Preheat Output is configured then controller will enter Preheating State. If Preheat output is not configured, then controller will directly enter Crank Hold State and will activate Start Relay output. In case of Preheat output configured, controller will enter Crank Hold State after Preheat time is over or Preheat temperature threshold is reached. If Crank is not disconnected and Crank Hold time is over, then controller enters Crank Rest State. In Crank Rest, also if Crank is not disconnected and Crank Rest time is over, then controller enters Crank Hold State for next cranking attempt. If Crank is disconnected by any means in the Crank Hold OR Crank Rest States then controller will enter ENGINE ON state. If Maximum cranking attempts are done, then controller will raise the Fail to Start alarm.

Stop Sequence

Figure 17: Flow chart of stop sequence

Once the Stop command is received, controller enters Stopping State where it starts the Stop Action Time and activates Stop Solenoid output. If controller detects engine OFF by all the means even before Stop action time is over, then controller will enter by skipping stop action time. Once Additional Stopping Time is over, controller will enter ENGINE OFF State and will deactivate Stop Solenoid output. If Engine is not detected OFF before Stop Action Time, then Fail to Stop alarm will be raised.

Auto Mode

To enter Auto mode press “AUTO” key.

• Site Battery monitoring mode (fuel saving mode)

• Cyclic mode

• Auto Mains Failure (AMF)

• Remote start/stop

• Exerciser mode

Site Battery Monitoring Mode

This mode enables the controller to monitor the health of the Site battery and Shelter temperature and accordingly control the power sources (Mains / Genset) to keep the battery charge within the specified threshold.

This mode also supports partial healthy condition of mains source. Partial healthy is a state in which mains is not considered as failed even if one or two-phases are unhealthy. The mains keep supplying power through the available phase/s. Mains failure occurs only when all the three phases fail. Upon Mains failure genset shall receive start command only if either of following conditions occur

a) Site Battery voltage level has reached below its lower limits. b) Shelter temperature has exceeded its upper threshold limits. c) If either of a) or b) occur when source is partially healthy.

Figure 18: SMD of site monitoring mode

Contactor latching status is represented by 0 and 1 digit in all the states in SMD. First digit represents mains contactor status and second digit represents genset contactor status, whereas 0 – Contactor unlatched 1 – Contactor latched

In this mode if the Site battery condition is healthy, Shelter temperature is below “High Shelter Temp threshold” and mains is unhealthy, the controller keeps both the contactors (Genset and Mains) open and waits till the Site battery gets discharged. Once the Site battery becomes unhealthy or Shelter temp is detected high, the controller then gives a start command to the genset. Then Genset will Start according to Start Sequence. When genset loading voltage and frequency are above the Minimum Healthy thresholds, Warm-Up Delay timer starts. At the end of this delay, genset contactor will get latched after taking Load Transfer Delay. Engine run hours will start incrementing as long as the genset is in running condition till the stop command is received. Then genset will run for DG run Duration. According to the factor which triggered DG start (Site battery voltage Low OR Shelter Temp High), Run duration (Site low Run duration OR High Shelter Temp run duration) will be taken. After the duration is over or mains becomes healthy during the DG Run duration, controller will open genset contactor. If shelter temp run duration is over and the temp is not below Low Temp Threshold, then genset will continue to run for the set duration. After opening genset contactor, Engine Cooling Time starts. Then at the end of Engine Cooling Time, controller initiates the stopping sequence by giving Stop command.

It is recommended to keep mains monitoring enable in this mode. Also, it is recommended to use shelter temperature only when site monitoring is enabled.

Cyclic Mode

Figure 19: SMD of Cyclic mode

Contactor latching status is represented by 0 and 1 digit in all the states in SMD. First digit represents mains contactor status and second digit represents genset contactor status, whereas 0 – Contactor unlatched 1 – Contactor latched

This mode is used for running the genset for a pre-specified time for a cycle of max 12 hours each. The time of genset to be kept ON & OFF is configurable.

Mains is being monitored in this mode. Load is on mains when mains is healthy. If mains is detected unhealthy, controller gives a start command to the genset. Then Genset will Start according to Start sequence. When genset loading voltage and frequency are above the Minimum Healthy thresholds, then Warm-Up Delay timer starts. At the end of this delay, genset contactor will get latched after taking Load Transfer Delay. Engine run hours will start incrementing if the genset is in running condition till the stop command is received. After completion of the ON time or if mains become healthy during ON time, controller will open the genset contactor. After opening genset contactor, Engine Cooling Time starts. Then at the end of Engine Cooling Time, controller initiates the stopping sequence by giving Stop command. When genset is off, controller will start DG off time.

After completion of DG OFF time, DG ON time will start and this cycle will continue until mains is detected healthy. During any of the times, if mains is detected healthy both the timers are reset to zero and load will shift to mains after taking return delay. This process continues in cyclic mode.

If genset is shut down or is unable to start because of any alarm present, then after clearing alarms if mains is unhealthy, DG ON time will be taken first followed by DG OFF time.

Auto Mains Failure (AMF)

Figure 20: SMD of Auto Mains Failure mode

Contactor latching status is represented by 0 and 1 digit in all the states in SMD. First digit represents mains contactor status and second digit represents genset contactor status, whereas 0 – Contactor unlatched 1 – Contactor latched

The AMF mode is activated when Site monitoring, Cyclic and exerciser modes are disabled, and Mains Monitoring is enabled.

In this mode, if the mains is healthy then the genset remains in Stop condition. If after the Mains Detect Delay, mains is found unhealthy, then controller will issue Start command and Genset will start according to Start Sequence. When genset loading voltage and frequency are above the Minimum Healthy thresholds, then Warm-Up Delay timer starts. At the end of this delay, genset contactor will get latched after taking Load Transfer Delay. Engine run hours will start incrementing as long as the genset is in running condition till the stop command is received. During genset running condition, if the mains is found healthy, Return To Mains Delay timer starts. If mains is found unhealthy during the Return To Mains Delay, then Genset continues to run. At the end of this delay if mains is still healthy, then genset contactor gets opened and mains contactor gets latched after the completion of Load Transfer Delay. After opening genset contactor, Engine Cooling Time starts. Then at the end of Engine cooling Time, controller initiates the stopping sequence by giving Stop command.

During start sequence, if the mains voltage recovers or any stop command or shutdown / warning alarm occurs controller will not issue start command to genset. To start the genset it is necessary to clear all the alarms manually and put the controller in Auto mode.

The AMF mode is only valid when site monitoring, Cyclic and exercise modes are disabled, and Mains Monitoring is enabled.

Exercise Mode

Figure 21: SMD of Exerciser mode

Contactor latching status is represented by 0 and 1 digit in all the states in SMD. First digit represents mains contactor status and second digit represents genset contactor status, whereas

0 – Contactor unlatched

1 – Contactor latched

The GC2599 allows to configure two scheduled sequences to start and stop the genset on preconfigured time.

The Exercise will occur when the controller is in the Auto mode with no shutdown or warning alarms. The genset will run for pre-set duration. In this mode, load transfer on mains/genset is configurable. Scheduled sequences can be configured to repeat daily, weekly or monthly.

• If the controller is in Auto mode, Exercise will run at scheduled time for pre-set duration. Controller will exit from Exercise mode, if the pre-set duration is expired or if Stop key is pressed while scheduled sequence is running.

• If the controller is in Manual mode when the scheduled sequence begins, genset will not be started. If the controller is switched to Auto mode during Exercise is running, genset will start and run for remaining scheduled duration.

• The genset controller will not respond to Remote start command in Exercise mode.

• In AMF mode, if the mains is unhealthy or cut off or when the genset is running in Exercise mode, genset will first run Exercise and then genset will continues to run in AMF mode. Load will be transferred on genset even if Load Transfer is disabled in Exercise. Genset will exit from AMF mode when the mains become healthy.

• If both exercises are scheduled at the same time, then Start time for second exercise will be incremented by 1 min.

The Exerciser mode is only valid when site monitoring and cyclic modes are disabled, and Mains Monitoring is enabled.

Remote Start/Stop

Figure 22: Flow chart of remote start/stop mode

To use the Remote start/stop mode of the controller, first configure one of the digital input as Remote start/stop (Latched type input) and put the controller in the Auto mode. Also disable both Site monitoring and Cyclic mode.

In this mode, the genset can be commanded to start and stop by activating the preconfigured Remote start/stop input. If Remote Start command is received, then controller will issue Start command and Genset will start according to Start Sequence. When genset loading voltage and frequency are above the Minimum Healthy thresholds, then Warm-Up Delay timer starts. At the end of this delay, genset contactor will get latched after taking Load Transfer Delay. Engine run hours will start incrementing as long as the genset is in running condition till the stop command is received. When Remote Stop command is received the controller will open the genset contactor. After opening genset contactor, Engine Cooling Time starts. Then at the end of Engine cooling Time, controller initiates the stopping sequence by giving Stop command.

It is recommended not to enable Mains Monitoring and Remote Start/Stop configuration simultaneously.

The Remote start/stop mode is only valid when site monitoring, cyclic, exerciser modes and mains monitoring are disabled.

Night Restriction Mode

In night restriction mode, user can set a particular time in 24 – hour cycle, and then select the time duration for which you want to restrict DG run in any circumstances. Night restriction mode commands to turn off the genset at preconfigured time. This time is of 24 – hour cycle and repeated on daily basis. It also keeps the genset in OFF state for the preconfigured time duration. Genset is restricted to start if start command is received by any means during “Night Mode OFF Duration”. If genset needs to start in night restriction mode, then follow the below instructions:

• Press and hold “STOP” key for minimum three seconds and enter in edit mode of configuration

of genset controller.

• Select the “Module” and navigate to “Night Mode” parameter.

• Enter in Night mode and disable the ‘Night Mode” or change the “Night Mode OFF Duration”

time period.

• Save the parameters and come out of configuration mode.

• Start the genset in Auto/Manual mode

Starting the Engine

Figure 25: Pictorial reference for starting the engine

If Start Key is pressed in this mode, then controller will issue Start command and Genset will start according to Start Sequence. When genset loading voltage and frequency are above the Minimum Healthy thresholds, then Warm-Up Delay timer starts. At the end of this delay, genset contactor will get latched if Auto Load Transfer is enabled. Engine run hours will start incrementing as long as the genset is in running condition till the stop command is received.

When Stop key is pressed, controller will open genset contactor. After opening genset contactor, Engine Cooling Time starts. Then at the end of Engine Cooling Time, controller initiates the stopping sequence by giving Stop command. If Stop key is pressed during Engine Cooling Time, controller skips the Cooling Time and issues the stop command immediately.

Stopping the Engine

Test Mode

In manual mode (while genset is OFF) if auto key is long pressed then controller goes in Test mode. Test mode is almost same as manual mode. Only in test mode, irrespective of auto load transfer option enabled or disabled, Genset contactor will not get latched. If Genset contactor latching key is pressed, then only genset contactor will get latched. Once the genset starts in test mode, Test mode timer starts. After Stop key is pressed or this timer is over, controller will send the Stop command and genset will stop according to stop sequence.

Paralleling Mode

The GC2599 controller offers the feature of electronic governing for engines with mechanical fuel systems. In conjunction with the external Load Sharing Module, GC2599 controller can control speed of engine and supports genset synchronisation and paralleling feature.

The Electronic speed governing (E-governor) system is especially applicable to engines used in genset. This system provides precise, fast-acting control of engine speed. This system can be configured in Isochronous mode or Paralleling mode. In paralleling mode of operation, the system maintains the speed in accordance to the speed reference signal provided by supervisory control/Load Sharing Module (LSM).

Concept

Paralleling is the operation in which multiple gensets, usually two or more, are synchronized and then connected to a common bus. The frequency, voltage, phase angle and phase rotation of all the genset must match within prescribed limits before they can be paralleled. By considering linear relation between speed of the engine and frequency of the alternator output, the speed must be controlled until the genset is paralleled with the grid or other genset with the help of electronic governor. A Load Sharing Module controls the speed and the voltage of the genset by controlling the AVR and E-governor of the genset. To control these two devices the LSM provides the DC analog voltage signal to the both devices. The analog voltage signal is generally in the range of 0-5 V.

Mode Description

In case of paralleling mode operation of the genset, the E-governor module present in the GC2599 controller accepts speed reference (speed bias) signal in terms of 0-5 V analog DC voltage from the supervisory LSM (Load sharing module).

Following is the stepwise procedure for configuring the GC2599 for paralleling operation.

• Select the Governing Mode as Fixed speed. Select Set Speed Selection as “Speed Bias”

• Provide 0-5 V analog signal from the LSM to GC2599 controller at terminal no. 23, as a speed reference signal (Refer Figure 27)

Configure Analog Aux4 Sensor as “Not Used” for paralleling mode.

Acknowledging & Clearing the Alarms

Press the “Ack” key to acknowledge the alarm in any mode.

Figure 28: Pictorial reference for acknowledging & clearing the alarms

In case, if engine ON is detected without any start command given to GCU, it will allow engine to stay ON and further act according to operating mode and configuration.

Press the Ack key

Load Sensing

In Manual and Auto mode, the load sensing is done with following configuration:

The GCU senses the load (on Mains / Genset) depending upon “Generator Contactor Latched” and “Mains Contactor latched” inputs (if configured) and their real-time status. In case if the inputs are not configured, the GCU will sense the load depending upon the outputs ‘’Close Genset Contactor’’ and ‘’Close Mains Contactor’’ or ‘’Open Mains Contactor’’ and ‘’Open Genset Contactor” being configured and depending upon their real-time status. These outputs are set through facial keys or Contactor controlling inputs (such as ‘’Close Genset/Open Mains’’ or ‘’Close Mains/Open Genset’’).

In case of MCP Panels, since the “Genset & Mains” contactors are not configured, the load sensed will be treated as load on the genset only

For Mains load sensing, two configurations are mandatory.

1. Mains monitoring must be enabled. 2. CT location in panel and in GCU configuration must be “On Load Cable”.

Features

There are some silent features that helps in saving power and other monitoring purpose.

Auto Config Exit Mode

In this mode, the controller comes out of Configuration Mode automatically when there is no user interaction for the pre-set Auto Config Exit Mode Delay.

Controller saves all configuration parameter changes and exit the configuration mode.

Load Histogram

Load Histogram displays an engine run hour spent in different regimes. This mode helps user to monitor the duration of genset running on specific percentage of load. The load percentage is calculated based on following parameters:

1. Generator rating 2. CT ratio

Alarms

When Shutdown alarm occurs controller commands genset to stop. The controller will not issue the start command if the Shutdown alarm left unacknowledged.

When an electrical trip alarm occurs, the controller opens the genset contactor first and then it commands the genset to stop. The controller will not issue the start command if the Electrical trip alarm left unacknowledged.

If the warning alarm occurs in between the genset running condition, then the controller will not issue the stop command. But if the warning alarm left unacknowledged when the genset is in stop condition, then the genset cannot be started. Warning alarm gets auto cleared when condition gets cleared only if auto warning clear is enabled in config file or through UI.

Notification alarms get auto cleared.

Table 33: Types of alarms actions and their descriptions

Communication Protocol

The GC2599 genset controller supports a custom protocol based on MODBUS over a RS485 layer. The GC2599 genset controller implement a custom protocol based on the standard MODBUS protocol. It operates in a slave mode and responds to commands received from an external MODBUS master. The transmission mode used by GC2599 controller is MODBUS RTU (not MODBUS ASCII). The byte format for communication is 1 start bit, 8 data bits, no parity bits and 1 stop bit, Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC).

Connection Details

The following section describe the connection details of RS485 MODBUS to SMPS MODBUS module. On the GCU Pin 31 is represented as A, Pin 32 is represented as B and Pin 30 is represented as ground.

Figure 29: RS485 MODBUS connection with the help of two core shielded twisted pair cable

Precautions

• Keep the slave ID of the GCU controller and the SMPS controller same, take the slave ID from

the SMPS and configure the same ID in GCU.

• Enable the GCU in the configuration of the SMPS after hardware connections are made, so the

SMPS can communicate with the GCU.

• Connect the Pin # 31 & 32 (A & B) of the GCU to the pin # A & B of the SMPS respectively and

not with any other pin.

• Connect the ground of the RS485 MODBUS module of the controller to the ground of SMPS. If

ground of the SMPS is not present, leave the ground terminal (Pin 30) of the controller open.

• Use two core shielded cable for connection.

• Use different colour wires for Pin # 31 & 32 (A & B) for easy detection and connection.

• Route the Pin # 31 & 32 (A & B) wires properly ensuring they do not get short with any other

wires.

• Do not use multi strand wires for the connection.
