General guidelines
What is described in this manual?

This manual describes IG/IS-NT-Rental application which covers the SPtM, SPI and MINT applications. The
SPtM, SPI and MINT applications can be switched by the binary inputs (see more at Switching the SPtM,
SPI and MINT applications chapter). The IG/IS-NT-Rental has been designed especially for rental gensets.

Selection among setpoints as Nominal voltage, Nominal RPM, Nominal frequency and enabling or disabling
of synchronization can be done by setpoint or by using of force value that can be changed by corresponding
binary inputs (see more at Force value chapter).

The IG/IS-NT-Rental application also enables increasing and decreasing of baseload value SPtM or SPI
application Binary inputs ( BaseLoad Up and BaseLoad Down) or manual fuse synchronizing function
(MCB).

What is the purpose of this manual?
This manual provides general information on how to configure and operate the controller.
This manual is intended for use by:
Operators of gen-sets
Gen-set control panel builders
For everybody who is concerned with installation, operation and maintenance of the gen-set
!! Warnings !!
The NT controller can be remotely controlled. In the event that maintenance needs to be done to the gen-set,
check the following to ensure that the engine cannot be started.

To be sure:
Disconnect remote control via RS232 line
Disconnect input REMOTE START/STOP
or
Disconnect output STARTER and outputs GCB CLOSE/OPEN and MCB CLOSE/OPEN

The controller contains a large number of configurable setpoints, because of this it is impossible to describe
all of its functions. These are subject to change from SW version to SW version. This manual only describes
the product and is not guaranteed to be set for your application on arrival.

WARNING VERY IMPORTANT !!!
Be aware that the binary outputs can change state during and after software
reprogramming (before the controller is used again ensure that the proper
configuration and setpoint settings are set in the controller).

Every time you want to disconnect following NT controller terminals:

Mains voltage measuring and / or
Binary output for MCB control and / or
MCB feedback

Be aware that the MCB can be switched off and gen-set can start !!!

Switch the controller to MAN mode and disconnect the Binary outputs Starter and Fuel
to avoid unexpected automatic start of gen-set and GCB closing.

!!! CAUTION !!!
Dangerous voltage
The terminals for voltage and current measurement should never be touched.
Properly connect the grounding terminals.
Do not disconnect the CT terminals for any reason.
Adjust set points
All setpoints are preadjusted to their typical values. But the set points in the Basic settings settings
group !!must!! be adjusted before the first startup of the gen-set.
!!! WRONG ADJUSTMENT OF BASIC PARAMETERS
CAN DESTROY THE GEN-SET !!!

The following instructions are for qualified personnel only. To avoid personal injury do
not perform any action not specified in this User guide !!!

Switching the SPtM, SPI and MINT applications

The default application of IG/IS-NT-Rental is the SPtM application. The SPI and MINT applications can be
activated during the emergency manual state only.

To change the application from the SPtM to SPI application close both BI: Emerg. manual and BI: SPI
Enable and after that open BI: Emerg. manual only. The controller is set to SPI application now.

To change the application from the SPtM to MINT application close both BI: Emerg. manual and BI:
MultipleEnable and after that open BI: Emerg. manual only. The controller is set to MINT application now.

To change the application from either SPI or MINT to the default SPtM application close the BI: Emerg.
manual and open either BI: SPI Enable or BI: MultipleEnable. After that open the BI: Emerg. manual. The
controller is set to SPtM application now.

Another way of changing the SPtM application to either SPI or MINT one is by switching on BI: SPI Enable /
BI: MultipleEnable before switching on the power supply of the controller to activate SPI / MINT application.
In this case is not necessary to use BI: Emerg. manual to change the application.

Note:
In the case of an accidental contemporary activation of both BI: SPI Enable and BI: MultipleEnable the MINT
application remains active.

Functions
OFF-MAN-AUT-TEST mode
OFF mode
Outputs STARTER, GCB CLOSE/OPEN and FUEL SOLENOID are not energized.
Genset cannot be started. If START,STOP,GCB ON/OFF,MCB ON/OFF buttons are pressed the controller
will not respond.
When the gen-set is running it is not possible to switch directly to OFF mode. First you have to stop the
engine.

SPtM application:
MCB behavior depends on AMF settings: MCB opens on setpoint if the Sync/Load ctrl: ManualFuseSync =
DISABLED.
MAINSFAIL: When power-cut comes, MCB opens. After mains returns, MCB closes with MCB close del.
GEN RUNNING: When power-cut comes, MCB stays closed.
MAN mode

In MAN mode the genset can be controlled by the front panel buttons.

1) START - starts the gen-set.
2) GCB ON/OFF
If generator voltage is out of the limits (adjusted in the set point group Gener protect) controller does
not to respond to the GCB ON/OFF
a) controller closes GCB to dead bus.
b) controller starts GCB synchronizing when mains is OK and MCB is closed. Closes the GCB
when synchronized and stays running in parallel. Operational mode in parallel depends on
ProcessControl setting.
c) Unloads gen-set and opens the GCB if gen-set was running in parallel to the mains.
3) MCB ON/OFF
a) controller closes MCB to dead bus (even if the mains voltage is out of limits).
b) controller starts MCB synchronizing when gen-set is running and GCB is closed. Closes the
MCB when synchronized and stays running in parallel. Operational mode in parallel depends on
ProcessControl setting.
c) Unloads gen-set and opens the MCB if gen-set was running in parallel to the mains.
4) STOP
a) When gen-set is running in parallel: transfers load to the mains, opens GCB, goes into cooling
state and stops the engine.
b) When gen-set is running island (MCB is opened): opens GCB, goes into cooling state and stops
the engine.
c) When engine is running unloaded: activates cooling sequence and then stops the engine.
d) During cooling state causes immediate engine stop.
Hint:
The genset is permitted to run unloaded for an unlimited time.
Controller does not automatically start the gen-set when power cut comes or REM START/STOP is closed.
SPtM, SPI applications:
Controller does not automatically change the MCB state depends on mains changes.
Load control in parallel depends on ProcessControl: Load control = BASELOAD or IMP/EXP setpoint.
MINT application:
Load control type in mains parallel depends on ProcessControl: #SysLdCtrlPtM = BASELOAD or
LDSHARING setpoint.


9
SEM
In SEM mode, pressing of START or STOP buttons performs a predefined sequence:
1) START starts the engine, synchronizes and runs in parallel.
2) STOP softly unloads the gen-set, opens GCB, provides cooldown and stops the engine.
3) In case of mains failure and ProcCtrlSingle: MFStart enable set to YES, allows automatic start/stop
same as in AUT mode.
AUT mode (Stand-by)

In AUT mode genset cant be controlled by the front panel buttons of the controller. Controller function can
be different depends on selected Application mode (SPtM, SPI and MINT) as described below.

SPtM application:
Automatic mode is influenced by ProcessControl: Island enable, ParallelEnable, Synchro enable and
MFStart enable setpoints.

Following procedure corresponds to setting No.1 from table above.
1) Mains failure is recognized
Controller opens MCB when AMF settings: MCB opens on = MAINSFAIL.
a) After AMF settings:EmergStart del elapsed, Controller starts the gen-set. Controller opens MCB
after engine starts when AMF settings: MCB opens on = GENRUN.
b) If mains recovers during the start-up process, Controller closes MCB again after AMF settings:
MCB close del and stops the gen-set.
2) When the gen-set is above Underspeed level and the generator voltage is within limits (adjust in the set
point group Gener protect) Controller closes the GCB. If the generator voltage is out of the limits for
Engine params: Max stab time, Controller alarms the failure and stops the gen-set.
3) After mains recovers:
a) After AMF settings: Mains ret del Controller starts synchronizing to mains and closes the MCB and
unloads the gen-set.
b) After the AMF settings:BreakerOverlap delay Controller opens the GCB.
c) The gen-set is cooled down and stopped.

Function
1 YES YES FORWARD Basic SPI application
2 YES NO NO SPM application
3 NO YES FORWARD SPI application, no island (stand-by) operation
allowed
4 NO NO NO


NO NO FORWARD
NO YES NO

Following procedure corresponds to setting No.1 from table above.
2) After the input Rem start/stop is energized, controller starts the gen-set. If MCB feedack is active, the
controller will synchronize the gen-set to mains and ramp up the load, depending on the ProcessControl
set points adjustment.
3) If a mains failure is recognized, the controller will open the GCB to separate the failed mains from the
generator. After the mains breaker has been open (MCB feedback is de-energized), the controller will
close the GCB again to the island (stand-by) operation.
4) If mains recovers again, the GCB is open again to allow the MCB to be closed (manually or in general
not with a command from the controller). After both mains is present and MCB closed, the controller will
synchronize again with the healthy mains and close the GCB.
5) If input Rem start/stop is de-energized, controller will softly unload the gen-set back to the mains, then
open the GCB, cool down and stop the gen-set.

MINT application (the IGS-NT-LSM+PMS dongle is required to enable POWER MANAGEMENT
function):
1) All gen-sets necessary to cover selected LoadRes strt are started when binary input SYS START/STOP
is closed and Pwr management is ENABLED. Power management can be based on kW, kVA or on
relative % reserve.
a) 1 sec delayed when MCB FEEDBACK binary input is closed (mains parallel)
b) delayed #SysAMFstrt del when MCB FEEDBACK binary input is opened start to island parallel
(multi AMF) situation
2) The first gen-set closes the GCB to the dead bus, the rest are synchronized to the bus.
3) When all necessary gen-sets are connected to the bus and LoadRes strt is achieved, SYST RES OK
output is closed. Output could be used to close the MGCB (Master GCB).
4) Total load and power factor are shared between parallel operating gen-sets.
5) Close input LOAD RESERVE 2 (or 3 or 4) and use setpoint LoadRes strt2(or 3 or 4) to switch to another
load reserve setting. E.g. high load reserve during system start to be able to switch-on big devices, then
during normal operation lower reserve to save engines (and fuel).
6) If total load increases and selected LoadRes strt is no more fulfilled, after a Next start del next ready
gen-set with the highest priority (lowest priority number) is started and synchronized to the bus.
7) If load decreases and selected LoadRes stp is exceeded, after a Next stop del the running gen-set with
the lowest priority is unloaded, got off line, cooled and stopped.
8) Complete gen-sets group stops when binary input SYS START/STOP opens. If the input MCB
FEEDBACK is closed (gen-sets are in parallel to mains) controllers softly transfer the load to the mains.
When gen-set is unloaded (see GCB open level or GCB open del) opens the output GCB
CLOSE/OPEN.
9) The Running hours balancing or Load demand engines swap can be activated in power management.
Hint:
Controller does not respond to GCB ON/OFF , STOP, START buttons and corresponding remote
InteliMonitor or Modbus commands in AUT mode.


11
Set Basic setting: FltRes GoToMAN = ENABLED to avoid automatic engine start when pressing FAULT
RESET after any 2
nd
level alarm (Shutdown, Slow stop, Breaker Open&Cooldown).

TEST mode (SPtM application only)
Use TEST mode for Gen-set start test if the Mains is OK or to transfer the load to the gen-set when Mains
fail is announced in advance.
Hint:
The controller does not respond to GCB ON/OFF , STOP, START in Return To mains = ENABLED.
Engine automatically starts, when TEST mode is selected.
Engine can start automatically without warning when pressing FAULT RESET after shut down alarm.
Test on load (SPtM application only)
Affects the behavior in TEST mode. Before the activation of this function

1. adjust setpoint AMF settings: ReturnTo mains = DISABLED
2. adjust ProcCtrlSingle: MFStart enable = YES.
3. switch controller to Test on load mode (see drawing below)

Gen-set starts and goes to load (synchronizes to the mains, closes GCB and opens MCB) automatically
when this input is closed even if Mains is OK.
Gen-set stays running in parallel with mains during the soft load transfer from the mains to the gen-set until
Import power = 0. When the load is bigger than Nominal power, MCB stays closed, BO WrnTstOnLdFail is
closed and warning message is issued (WrnTstOnLdFail). This message is issued also when GCB is closed
and Load Ramp timer is counted down.

When the controller is switched from Test on load mode (and Mains is OK), it synchronizes MCB, stays
running in parallel for BreakerOverlap time (soft load transfer), opens GCB, cools down and stops.
During the load transfer from the gen-set to the mains can be BreakerOverlap time shortened due to the
influence of: Load ramp, GCB open level, GCB open del setpoints.

0 V batt
Test on load
Remote TEST
AMF settings:
ReturnTo mains = DISABLED
WrnTstOnLdFail

Hint:
It is possible to configure both binary inputs (Remote TEST and Test on load) to only one controller physical
binary input internally.

Mains parameters out of limits during synchronising (SPI, SPtM applications)
In case that mains parameters get out of permitted limits during synchronizing to mains (reverse or forward),
the regulation of gen-set speed and voltage according to mains frequency and voltage is interrupted. During
the state, when parameters reach out of limits, until Mains fail is issued, the engine speed and voltage
regulation output is kept on the last value.


12
DROOP
The droop regulation of kW/kVAr is the alternative to the isochronous Load Sharing and VAr Sharing. In the
isochronous regulation are all information about the kW/kVAr shared via intercontroller communication line
whereas in droop no intercontroller communication is needed. The droop regulation is base on voltage and
frequency witch are measured on the common bus. The requested kW/kVAr are calculated in each
controller from the actual bus voltage and bus frequency. This principle of regulation needs the voltage and
frequency beeing changing within defined limits. Type of regulation depends on settings of setpoint
ProcCrtlMulti: Reg kW/kVAr.

ProcCrtlMulti: Reg kW/kVAr
STD Standard isochronous Load Sharing and VAr Sharing are based on CAN
intercontroller communication.
DROOP Load Sharing and VAr Sharing regulations are based on droop. Requested power of
each gen-set is calculated based on bus voltage and bus frequency.
EMERG DROOP Load Sharing and VAr Sharing regulation are based on standard CAN intercontroller
communication, but can be conditionally switched to droop. All controllers are
continually checking the CAN16/CAN32 register to see witch addresses is it in
cooperation (use the LBI EmergDroopEnab to confirm the supervised constalation of
addresses on CAN) . In case of lost of any controller from CAN are the regulations
automatically switched to droop (yellow alarm EmergDroop act appears in alarm list,
message EmergDROOPon is writen in history). Load Sharing and VAr Sharing
regulation are switched back to the standard mode 60 s after the constalation of
addresses on CAN is set to the original state (message EmergDROOPoff is written in
history, alarm EmergDroop act has to be confirmed manually). The purpose of this
function is protection against the cut off the CAN intercontroller line.

Load Sharing in droop
Characteristics of Load Sharing in droop are given by settings of these parameters:

Sync/load ctrl: Load droop, LdDroopOffset
Load droop This setpoint defines the slope of the load droop correlation. The slope is set as a
droop of frequency in percentages of the requested frequency (Basic settings:
Nominal freq + Nom frq offset) on the range of the requested power from 0 to 100% of
Basic settings: Nomin power.
LdDroopOffset This setpoint defines the value of requested power on the requested frequency (Basic
settings: Nominal freq + Nom frq offset). Allows to shift the droop correlation line up
or down.

Example: Load droop = 4%, LdDroopOffset = 50% (75%)


13
VAr Sharing in droop
Characteristics of VAr Sharing in droop are given by settings of these parameters:

Sync/load ctrl: VAr droop, VArDroopOffset
VAr droop This setpoint defines the slope of the VAr droop correlation. The slope is set as a
droop of voltage in percentages of the generator nominal voltage (Basic settings:
GenNomV) on the range of the requested reactive power from 0 to 100% of nominal
reactive power (value of nominal reactive power is not given by setpoint but it is
calculated from setpoint Nomin power whilst the PF=0,8).
VArDroopOffset This setpoint defines the value of requested reactive power on the nominal voltage
(Basic settings: GenNomV). Allows to shift the droop correlation line up or down.

Example: VAr droop = 4%, VArDroopOffset = 50% (75%)

Hint:
Droop mode allows cooperation of gen-set equipped by ComAp control system with gen-set equipped by any
third party control system. The steady bus voltage and bus frequency has to be regulated by this third party
control system. Active and reactive power of gen-set equipped by ComAp controller is kept on values given
by droop settings.

Note:
Over frequency and under frequency protections are active in droop. Be aware that the gen-set frequency in
droop can cross the levels of these protections. The force value on the under/over frequency protection limits
can be used if it is needed to set the different limits in droop.

Cleaning mode
Use the LBI Cleaning to set the gen-set to cleaning mode. Under voltage and under frequency protections
are blocked in this mode (Gener protect: Gen>V BOC, Gen<V BOC, Gen>f, Gen<f). It allows to switch off
the excitation of generator while the gen-set is washed. Under voltage and under frequency protections are
not active and do not stop the engine. Yellow warning Cleaning appears in alarm list.

Island Autodetect (SPtM application only)
This function can be used for automatic detection of island operation. The typical situation is that the MCB is
not controlled by ComAp controller (i.e. manual fuses) and there is a long distance between the switchboard
where the manual fuses are placed in and the rental gen-set. The detection of island operation is based on
slow shift of mains frequency.


14
Typical situatioin:

Rental gen-set is placed long distance from the switchboard. Mains voltage sensing is connected
directly to mains (no contactor between the GCB and mains).
Start of the gen-set and synchronizing to the mains (MCB feedback has to be switched on manually).
Gen-set runs in parallel operation. Set baseload to achieve import from load close to zero. It is
recommended to deactivate the vector shift and ROCOF protection.
Activation of LBI IslAdetectEnab manual decoupling from the mains by removing the fuses. Gen-
set will recognize the decoupling from the mains based on the shift of frequency and switch over the
regulations from parallel (load control) to island operation (speed control).
Put the fuses back and deactivate manually the LBI IslAdetectEnab. Gen-set will automatically
switch over the regulations of power back to parallel operation. (The reverse coupling to the mains is
not recognized automatically but can be recognized based on wotching the gen-set power beeing in
defined limits using the PLC logic. LBI IslAdetectEnab can be deactivated automatically by the PLC
function.)

Related setpoints and LBI:

Gener protect: IslAdetFr+diff, IslAdetFr-diff, IslAdetFr del
IslAdetFr+diff, The plus difference of the mains frequency from the requested frequency (Basic
settings: Nominal freq + Nom frq offset) used for detection of island operation.
IslAdetFr-diff The minus difference of the mains frequency from the requested frequency (Basic
settings: Nominal freq + Nom frq offset) used for detection of island operation.
IslAdetFr del Island operation is automatically detected with the delay IslAdetFr del after the
frequency cross the limit IslAdetFr+diff or IslAdetFr-diff.
LBI: IslAdetectEnab
Actived Automatic detection of decoupling from the mains is enabled (the MCB feedback
must be wired up and be activated manually).
Deactived Confirmation that the gen-set has been coupled back to mains (regulations are
automatically switch over to parallel operation, if the MCB feedback is active).

Manual fuse synchronizing (SPtM application only)
Function is enabled or disabled by setpoint ManualFuseSync [ENABLED, DISABLED] or by binary input
using the force value. Setpoint select binary MCB output function when reverse synchronization is in
process.

ENABLED: External device controls connecting of MCB. The unlimited timeout of synchronization can be
reached Sync/Load ctrl: Sync timeout = NO TIMEOUT.
DISABLED: InteliGen controls MCB output.

Synchro state is indicated by Binary output In synchronism. Manual fuse switches can be closed only when
Binary output: In synchronism is closed.
Binary input: MCB feedback can be closed after all Manual fuse switches are closed.
MCB feedback activates Load control function.

If Sync/Load ctrl:ManualFuseSync = ENABLED and binary input Synchro Enable is activated:
The vector shift protection controls the GCB instead of MCB when Mains protect: VectorS CB sel = GCB
only.
Other Mains protections are deactivated, only generator voltage and frequency protections are active. Side
effect is the gen-set does not start in case of Mains failure, as it is not detected.
MCB is neither controlled by MCB button in MAN mode in case of stopped engine, nor in case of the Return
of the mains. The only function of the MCB button will be in starting/stopping the back synchronization.
The MCB feedback can be activated ONLY when the Mains is measured by the controller otherwise the Wrn
MCB fail warning is reported.


15

V BY PWR control mode
Gen-set power (baseload) in parallel to mains operation is controlled to keep the line voltage within
predefined limits. The requested power is calculated from these setpoints from ProcCtrlSingle group.
V BY PWR control is based on measuring of mains voltage.

ProcCtrlSingle: VoltByPwr Vreq, VoltByPwr Vmin, VoltByPwrStart, VoltByPwrStop, VoltByPwrSSdel
VoltByPwr Vreq This setpoint defines the line voltage that is considered as OK. Gen-set is not
supposed to run on higher power than is given by setpoint Gener protect: Min power
PtM.
VoltByPwr Vmin This setpoint defines the line voltage on witch is the gen-set supposed to be running
on maximum available power witch is given by setpoint Basic settings: Nomin power.
VoltByPwrStart This setpoint defines the low limit of voltage when the gen-set is automatically started
(in AUT mode only). Gen-set is started when the voltage cross the limit with delay
given by VoltByPwrSSdel setpoint.
VoltByPwrStop This setpoint defines the high limit of voltage when the gen-set is automatically
stopped (in AUT mode only). Gen-set is stopped when the voltage cross the limit with
delay given by VoltByPwrSSdel setpoint.
VoltByPwrSSdel This setpoint defines Start/Stop delay of V BY PWR function.

Power management (MINT application only)
Automatic gen-set start / stop function based on load changes and/or Running hours or Engine size.
Following functions are available:
System Base load
Gen-set group is controlled on constant (or adjustable) power. The Baseload value can by changed by
setpoint or via analog input.
Important setpoints: ProcessControl: #SysLdCtrlPtM = BASELOAD; #SysBaseload; SysBaseLdMode.
Local Baseload
Selected gen-set from island or mains parallel running group can be loaded to constant LocalBaseload
value. This engine is taken out from Load sharing and Power management. LocalBaseload value is reduced
only when common group (actual) load is lower than this value. The gen-sets in the group will try to match
their LocalBaseloads (when more than one) based on their controller addresses, so the first limited would be
the one with the highest CAN address. I.e. this function will switch-off automatically in one or more
controllers if there is not enough load to cover all the requested LocalBaseloads.
Important setpoints: ProcessControl: LocalBaseload.
System Base power factor
Gen-set group is controlled in mains parallel to keep a constant (or adjustable) power factor.
Important setpoints: ProcessControl: #SysPFCtrlPtM = BASEPF; #SysPwrFactor.
Import-Export
Gen-set group is controlled to keep constant (or adjustable) Import or Export value. The external controller
InteliMains NT must be connected on the CAN2 to control gen-set group kW I/E.
Important setpoints: ProcessControl: #SysLdCtrlPtM = LDSHARING.
Import/Export power factor
Gen-set group is controlled to keep constant (or adjustable) Import or Export power factor.
Important setpoints: ProcessControl: #SysLdCtrlPtM = VSHARING. The external InteliMains NT controller
must be connected on the CAN2 to control gen-set group PF I/E.

Load shedding
All LOAD SHED outputs are activated (closed) to trip the unessential load when gen-set goes to island:
a) When GCB is closed after mains fail and gen-set starts in SEM / AUT mode.
b) When MCB opens from parallel to mains operation in SEM / AUT mode.
c) Before MCB is opened in MAN mode by button.

The load shedding function is active in all controller modes except OFF.
Load shedding has three steps and each step is linked with its own Load shed x binary output. There is only
one load shed level and delay for all three steps as well as recon level and delay. Load shed can only move
from one step to the next, e.g. No LoadShed to LdShed S1 to LdShed S2 to LdShed S3 and vice versa.
If manual reconnection of the load is desired, the AutoLd recon setpoint needs to be disabled (AutoLd recon
= DISABLED) and the MAN load recon binary input needs to be configured.


23
Rising edge on this input resets the controller to a lower stage, but only if the load is under the Ld recon level
at that moment.

Power derating
This function linearly decreases genset nominal power according to analog input value.
Gen-set power starts decreasing when temperature measured by Analog input PowerDeratingX exceeds
DeratingX strt value.
Gen-set power is at DeratedX pwr value when temperature measured by Analog input Power deratingX is
equal or higher than DeratingX end value.
Hint:
To use Power derating function configure at first Analog input PowerDeratingX to any IGS-NT or IS-AIN
analog input terminal by GenConfig.

When Power derating function is active the generator overload protection is based on the Derated power! ! !

Derated power value Pg derated is visible in the controller measure screen.

When derating function is not active the Derating power is equal to Nominal power.

Example :
Nomin power = 200 kW, Derating1 strt = 70 C, Derating1 end = 100 C, Derated1 pwr = 70 %.
Genset is running at Nominal power 200 kW. When temperature reached 70 C the genset power starts
decreasing. When temperature reached 100 C genset runs at 70 % of Nominal power = 140 kW. When
temperature increased above DeratingX end temperature level, gen-set power stays at DeratedX pwr level
140 kW.

Temperature derating function
decreases genset power depend
on setpoints DeratingX strt,
DeratingX end and DeratedX pwr.

Temperature derating starts at
DeratingX strt temperature.

At DeratingX end temperature runs
genset at DeratedX pwr level.

Above DeratingX end temperature
Genset runs at constant DeratedX
pwr.

Alarm types
ALARM/EVENT KIND LEVEL DESCRIPTION
Warning 1
The alarm appears in the Alarmlist and is recorded into the history log.
Activates the output Common Wrn as well as the standard alarm outputs.
Alarm Only 1
The alarm appears only in the Alarmlist.
Activates the output Common Al as well as the standard alarm outputs.
HistRecOnly 1
The event is recorded into the history.
Activates the output Common Hst for one second. Standard alarm outputs
are not activated.
AL indication 1
The event is only indicated in the Alarmlist.
It disappear for the alarmist automatically as soon as the cause
disappears.
Standard alarm outputs are not activated.
A+H indication 1
The event is only indicated in the Alarmlist and recorded into the history
log.
It disappear for the alarmist automatically as soon as the cause
disappears.
Standard alarm outputs are not activated.
Shutdown 2
It causes immediate stop of the gen-set without unloading and cooling
phase.
The gen-set can't be started again while there is a Shutdown alarm in the
Alarmlist.
Activates the output Common Sd as well as the standard alarm outputs.
Slow Stop 2
It causes stop of the gen-set by the standard stop sequence, i.e. including
unloading and cooling phase.
The gen-set can't be started again while there is a Slow stop alarm in the
Alarmlist.
Activates the output Common Stp as well as the standard alarm outputs.
Off Load 2
The event appears in the Alarmlist and is recorded into the history log. It
does not require confirmation, diappears by itself.
It causes immediate opening of the GCB. In AUT and SEM modes the gen-
set remains running for 60 seconds and then it is stopped by the standard
stop sequence. In MAN mode the gen-set remains running until the
operator changes it's operational state manually.
If the controller is in AUT or SEM mode and all previously active Off load
alarms disappeared the gen-set is automatically started back and
connected to the load if the condition for the gen-set to be running persists
(e.g. Rem start/stop is active ..).
This event is used to put the gen-set temporarily off the load for any
reason.
Activates the output Common OfL.


35
Low Power 2
The event appears in the Alarmlist and is recorded into the history log. It
does not require confirmation, diappears by itself.
It causes reduction of the required gen-set load to the Min Power PtM
during parallel-to-mains operation or local baseload operation.
If all previously active Low power alarms disappeared the gen-set is
automatically ramped back to the original required load, which is given
according to the currently active load control mode (Load ctrl PtM) in PtM
operation.
Activates the output Common LoP.
This alarm type is not overriden by the input Sd Override.
Note:
Available in IS-NT only.

BrkOpen&CoolDn 2
The event appears in the Alarmlist and is recorded into the history log.
It causes immediate opening of the GCB (without unloading) and then the
standard stop sequence with cooling follows.
The gen-set can't be started again while there is a BOC alarm in the
Alarmlist.
Activates the output Common BOC as well as the standard alarm outputs.
Mains Protect 2
The protection is only recorded into the history log.
In applications which control the MCB this protection causes opening of the
MCB. The gen-set can continue operation in island mode if required. The
MCB can be closed back as soon as there isn't any mains protection active
(including the built-in mains protections).
In applications which do not control the MCB this protection causes
opening of the GCB. The controller waits then for the MCB to open. After
that the gen-set can continue operation in island mode if required. As soon
as there isn't any mains protection active (including the built-in mains
protections) the GCB is opened again and the controller waits for the MCB
to close. After that the gen-set can continue operation in parallel-to-mains
mode if required.
Activates the output Common MP.
Sd Override 2
It causes immediate stop of the gen-set without unloading and cooling
phase.
The gen-set can't be started again while there is a Sd override alarm in the
Alarmlist.
Activates the standard alarm outputs.
*) Yellow color of Gen-set indication LED is available only in IS-NT. In IG-NT, Y indication of LED means
that both red and green LEDs are on.
Hint:
The Standard alarm outputs are Alarm and Horn.
Sensor fail detection (FLS)
If the measured resistance, voltage or current on an analog input gets out of valid range, the sensor fail will
be detected and a sensor fail message will appear in the alarmlist. The valid range is defined by the most-left
(R
L
) and most-right (R
H
) points of the sensor characteristic 12.5% from R
H
-R
L
.


36

Hint:
The sensor fail alarm does not influence the gen-set operation
Blocking types
BLOCKING TYPE DESCRIPTION
All the time The alarms are beeing evaluated all the time the controller is switched on.
RunOnlyBlkDel1
The alarms are beeing evaluated only while the gen-set is running. The evaluation
begins RunOnlyBlkDel1 seconds after the engine has been started.
RunOnlyBlkDel2
RunOnlyBlkDel3
Force block 1
The alarms are beeing evaluated while the input Force block 1 is not active. The
evaluation begins ForceBlockDel1 seconds after the input has been deactivated.
Force block 2
Force block 3
El. prot
The alarms are beeing evaluated while the generator is expected to provide correct
voltage and frequency. That means the alarms start to be evaluated after transition
form Idle to Running phase when the period of Max stab time has already elapsed,
remain beeing evaluated while the gen-set is running at nominal speed (regardless
of GCB position) and stop to be evaluated by transition to the Cooling phase.

Shutdown override
If the Binary input shutdown override (Sd override) is closed, all 2
nd
level protections are disabled to allow
engine run in an emergency situation, e.g. sprinkler devices power supply.
All protections are shown in Alarmlist and recorded into History, but the controller doesnt stop the engine
because of them. If the input is deactivated and some protections are still active or not yet reset, the
controller starts to take these protections into account and consequently stops the engine.
Hint:
All 2
nd
level protections are locked out, except of these:
- Emergency stop
- Overspeed
- Underspeed (only if Fuel solenoid = GAS ENGINE)
- Binary and analog protections configured as Sd override type. In fact this protection type means
"Unoverridable shutdown", i.e. it works the same way as standard shutdown protection, however it can not
be overriden (blocked) by the Sd override input.

Gen-set operating states
Protections - evaluation depends on the gen-set state
- depends on the actual gen-set conditions


41
Circuit breakers operation sequence, GCB/MCB fail detection
Note:
In the following text, CB abbreviation is used for MCB or GCB respectively.

Related binary inputs:
- CB fdb CB feedback binary input
- CB fdb neg negative CB feedback binary input. Used for increasing the reliability of CB status
evaluated by the controller. In case that it is not configured, negative value of CB fdb is calculated
internally within the controller.
Related binary outputs:
- CB close/open output for circuit breaker. Equals to 1 during the time when CB is requested o be
closed.
- CB ON coil output for closing coil of the CB. 2s pulse (5s if synchronising is not provided by the
particuilar CB) is used for closing the CB.
- CB OFF coil output for opening coil of the CB. 2s pulse (5s if synchronising is not provided by the
particuilar CB) is used for opening the CB.
- CB UV coil output for undervoltage coil of the CB. Permanently active, 2s negative pulse (5s if
synchronising is not provided by the particuilar CB) is used for CB opening request
- CB status output indicating CB status as evaluated by the controller. This signal is used for lighting
LEDs on the panel, switching the regulations, CB fail evaluation, etc.

Possible CB sequences:
CB close command:

2s
BO: CB status
BI: CB fdb neg
BI: CB fdb
BO: CB ON coil
1s
BO: CB close/open
BO: CB UV coil minimum 1s from UV switching on,
together with MinStab time elapsing is
necessary before the CB is allowed to
close
When closing the CB, the CB status LBO
switches over only when both feedbacks
are in correct position

issued. This would be issued
after the second unsuccessfull
attempt.

and MCB stays closed. It is valid
until the moment when generator

45
Other CB fail reasons:
When the BO CB close/open is in steady state and CB feedback is changed, the CB fail is detected
immediately (no delay).
Alarm: GCB fail
BO GCB close/open
BI GCB feedback
Alarm detection:
immediatelly

Alarm: GCB fail
BI GCB feedback
BO GCB close/open
Alarm detection:
immediatelly

closed

Not valid for MCB:
MCB fail is not detected in this case.
If BI Ext MF relay is active, controller switches to Island
operation. If BI Ext MF relay is not active and Mains is
OK, controller synchronizes back to the mains and tries
to close MCB.

When the BO CB close/open opens, there is 5 resp. 2 sec delay for the breaker to respond before a CB
fail is detected. In such case, if CB OFF coil is used for opening the CB and CB fail occurs during
opening the CB, the signal CB OFF coil is automatically extended until the breaker opening is detected
(evaluated as CB status).

2 sec when the CB is used for synchronizing
5 sec in other cases

Alarm: GCB fail
BO GCB close/open
BI GCB feedback

opened
Time delay
5 sec

In case that CB fail is detected after switching the controller on (CB is closed), the CB OFF coil output is
activated immediatelly.
Important:
In case that MCB feedback is active (MCB is expected as closed) and MCB fail is reported due
to previous incorrect manipulation of MCB, in the moment of Fault reset, the MCB fail is cleared
and the controller internally goes to closed state. I.e. MCB fdb status is confirmed and the
output MCB close/open is energized.

Binary inputs Control
Inputs marked
(M)
have meaning in multiple application only.
Inputs marked
(S)
have meaning in single application only.
Rem start/stop
(S)

If the input closes, the controller starts the engine (in AUT mode only). This input forces the gen-set parallel
run with mains, as an AMF start usually is managed in different way.
In SPI / SPtM application (AUT mode) activates the start or stop sequence start, synchronizing, loading
ramp, parallel run / unloading ramp, GCB opening, cool-down, stop.
Hint:
The gen-set is not starting when ProcessControl: ParallelEnable = NO or ProcessControl: Synchro
enable: NONE (Reverse). All allowed states in AUT mode are described on page 9.
Rem start/stop deactivation does not influence AMF function if the Mains Fail. AMF behaviour depends on
AMF settings and ProcessControl

Sys start/stop
(M)

If the input closes, the controller may start the engine (in AUT mode only). Request to start depends on state
of setpoint Pwr management: Pwr management state and, if ENABLED, on the actual need of load reserve.
I.e. all controllers in the system should have their Sys start/stop inputs active, but it doesnt mean that all
engines are running.
If Pwr management: Pwr management is DISABLED, the closed input requests the engine to start
regardless of the load reserves.


48
Gen-set is running both in mains parallel or island parallel (depends on mains condition). Reaction on input
state change is delayed by setpoints #SysAMFStrtDel / #SysAMFStopDel in island mode, by 1 sec in mains
parallel mode (= input MCB feedback active).

Hint:
If it is needed both BI: Rem start/stop and BI: Sys start/stop can be configured as the same physical input.
Emergency stop
If the input is activated, engine shutdown is immediately issued. It has a character of a Shutdown -
protection type , however some special behaviour follows in the case of its activation:
- Outputs Ignition, Ventilation, Cooling pump, Prelubr pump are switched off, regardless of the engine
state.
- This input cannot be overridden with the input Sd override.
Hint:
Alarm type is set to No protection, as this input itself creates the shutdown protection.
Input is inverted (= normally closed) in default configuration to achieve maximum security (broken wire).
Nominal speed
When this input is activate, the controller state is forced from Idle state to Running state, during the start of
the engine. This action is allowed only 5 seconds after the starter is disangaged ( = 5 seconds after
beginning of Idle time). This 5 seconds delay is caused by the fact, that 5 seconds after starter
disangagement, the Underspeed protection is not evaluated ( possible RPM swing).
So even if the LBI: Nominal speed is active all the time, the controller will be forced into the Running state 5
seconds after starter is disangaged.
This binary input is not working in Cooling state, the controller is not forced back to the running state neither
when Cooling speed = Nominal nor Idle.
Hint:
Use this input if you want to shorten the start-up procedure in an AMF situation.
PrestartBypass
If the input is closed, the controller bypasses the Prestart time and activates the Starter output immediately.
Hint:
Use this input to bypass the pre-glow / prelubrication time in the case that the engine has run a short time
before.
Oil press
Behavior for Inverted = Open to activate configuration:
Binary input must be closed when engine is not running and opened when it is running. "Sd Oil press B" is
activated when input is opened on not running engine (still engine condition) or when stays closed for
Engine protect: RunOnlyBlkDel1 after engine start. "Sd Oil press B" protection is not active when input is
not configured.
Sd override
If the input is closed, all 2
nd
level protections are disabled to allow engine run in an emergency situation, e.g.
sprinkler devices power supply.
All protections are shown in Alarmlist and recorded into History, but the controller doesnt stop the engine
because of them. If the input is deactivated and some protections are still active or not yet reset, the
controller starts to take these protections into account and consequently stops the engine.
Hint:
All 2
nd
level protections are locked out, except of these:
- Emergency stop
- Overspeed
- Underspeed (only if Fuel solenoid = GAS ENGINE)
Emerg. manual
This input is designed to allow the gen-set to be controlled externally, not by the controller.
This feature is especially designed for marine gen-sets, which are supposed to be started manually as the
controller has no power supply before the gen-set is started. It may be also useful in case of testing the gen-


49
set or in case of a failure, which does not allow the gen-set to be controlled by the controller, but the gen-set
itself is stays operational.
The controller behaves following way:
- Shows the text EmergMan in the engine status on the main screen.
- Stops all functions regarding the gen-set control, deactivates all outputs related to it.
- Stop Fail alarm is not beeing evaluated and stop solenoid is not activated if nonzero speed is detected.
- Voltage, current, power and other electric measurements are active.
- When the input is deactivated, the controller takes control over the gen-set according to the situation in
which the gen-set was in the moment of deactivation. I.e. the gen-set remains running loaded if it was
running and GCB was closed in the moment the input was deactivated.
Hint:
For successful recovery from a running state when the input is deactivated it is recommended to use pulse-
type control outputs instead of continous-type. E.g. Stop Solenoid for fuel supply control and GCB ON coil,
GCB OFF coil for breaker control.
RunIndication 1
RunIndication 2
RunIndication 3
Any of three binary inputs can be used for engine running indication e.g. via Oil pressure contact. Active
Running indication blocks engine start (to avoid starter damage).
AccessLock int
If the input is closed, no setpoints can be adjusted from the controller front panel.
Hint:
For IS-NT and IG-NT, this input is controlling the display #1, which is supposed to be attached to or close to
the main module.
As the controller mode (OFF-MAN-AUT-TEST) is one of the setpoints, not even that can be changed.
The START, STOP, FAULT RESET and other control buttons are disabled as well.
For remote displays 2 and 3 use AccessLock D#2 or AccessLock D#3.
AccessLock D#2
If the input is closed, no setpoints can be adjusted and no commands can be issued from IG/IS-Display #2.
Hint:
It is not possible to start and stop the gen-set, change controller mode or control breaker.
AccessLock D#3
If the input is closed, no setpoints can be adjusted and no commands can be issued from IS-Display #3.
Hint:
It is not possible to start and stop the gen-set, change controller mode or control breaker.
AccessLock ext
If the input is closed, no setpoints can be adjusted and no commands can be issued from any external
terminal = via direct/modem/internet connection to the controller.
Hint:
Use these inputs to lock out the selected terminals for setpoint changes and commands (statistic, password
and access code change). Such a terminal can only be used for monitoring.
Remote OFF
Active binary input forces the controller mode to OFF. When opened the controller is switched to previous
mode.
If the engine is running, the active input has no effect. The controller switches to OFF mode only after the
engine has been stopped.
Hint:
Use this input to block the engine start during service.
The control unit recovers to the previous mode if BI Remote OFF opened.


50
Remote MAN
Active binary input forces the controller mode to MAN.
Hint:
The control unit recovers to the previous mode if BI Remote MAN opened.

Remote SEM
Active binary input forces the controller mode to SEM.
Hint:
Use this input to switch the controller to semi-automatic operation, e.g. using the external key switch.
Remote AUT
Active binary input forces the controller mode to AUT.
Hint:
Use this input to switch the controller to automatic operation, e.g. using the external key switch.
The control unit recovers to the previous mode if BI Remote AUT opened.

Remote TEST
(S SPtM appl. only)

Active binary input forces the controller mode to TEST.
Hint:
Use this input for periodic engine tests (in combination with Timer module).
Force block 1
Force block 2
Force block 3
Three binary inputs for user-specific blocking of programmable protections. If the particular input is active, all
the protections with the corresponding Force block X block type are blocked.
StartButton
Binary input has the same function as Start button on the controller front panel. It is only active in MAN mode
and when setpoint Basic settings -> Local Button is set to EXTBUTTONS or BOTH.
StopButton
Binary input has the same function as Stop button on the controller front panel. It is only active in MAN mode
and when setpoint Basic settings -> Local Button is set to EXTBUTTONS or BOTH.
FaultResButton
Binary input has the same function as Fault reset button on the controller front panel.
To enable this function, set the setpoint Basic settings -> Local Button to EXTBUTTONS or BOTH.
HornResButton
Binary input has the same function as Horn reset button on the controller front panel.
MCBButton
(S SPtM appl. only)

Binary input has the same function as MCB button on the controller front panel. It is active in MAN and
TEST modes only. In TEST mode in some special cases only (see description TEST mode).
GCBButton
Binary input has the same function as GCB button on the controller front panel. It is active in MAN and
TEST modes only. In TEST mode in some special cases only (see description TEST mode).
Hint:


51
All Binary inputs, which simulate controller front panel buttons, are edge (no level) sensitive, and they react
on the rising edge only. Minimal input pulse duration is 0,2 seconds.
ManualLdRecon
The rising edge on this input switches the controller to the lower Load Shedding stage when AutoLd recon =
DISABLED and the load is under Ld recon level.
Test on load
(S SPtM appl. only)

Affects the behavior in TEST mode.
GCB disable
The input blocks the GCB closing, even if all other conditions (e.g. during synchronizing) for its closing are
fulfilled. Valid in all modes.
Hint:
If you want to lock out the GCB (or MCB) closing during synchronizing loop test, set Phase window = 0. This
allows the control loop to be tested while actual GCB (or MCB) closing is blocked.
Conditions for closing:
1) voltage only on generator side of GCB (or MCB)
2) voltage on both sides of GCB (or MCB) and all synchronizing conditions fulfilled.

MCB disable
(S SPtM appl. only)

The input blocks the MCB closing, even if all other conditions (e.g. during synchronizing) for its closing are
fulfilled. Valid in all modes.
Hint:
Conditions for closing:
3) voltage only on generator side of GCB (or MCB)
4) voltage on both sides of GCB (or MCB) and all synchronizing conditions fulfilled.
Alt brightness
Active binary input switches controller display backlight to the alternative setting. Alternative intensity of the
backlight can be set independently using the controller panel buttons.
Hint:
Input available in IG-NT/EE and modifications only. For IG-Display and IS-Display modules, this binary input
is located in the Power connector and its function is fixed (not configurable).
IssueActCallC1
IssueActCallC2
IssueActCallC3
Rising edge on these binary inputs forces an active call to be issued via the corresponding channel.
Hint:
Can be used to send e.g. SMS in the case of a mains failure to report that the engine has successfully
started (linked from the output Gen params OK) and later on to report that the engine has stopped again
(linked from the inverted output Fuel solenoid).
ECUComFailBlck
The input blocks the issuing of the alarm in case of ECU communication failure.
Startblocking
The input blocks the engine start. If active, NotReady state is shown on the controller screen and a message
appears in the Alarmlist. As soon as input is deactivated, engine start is enabled again.
Hint:


52
Use this input for cooperation with external supervisory device, such as PLC. It can prevent the engine to be
started because of some reasons not known to the controller.
ECU StoppedEng
Engine stop was activated in ECU, not from controller. The controller reflects this situation and also goes to
Stop to avoid an Underspeed alarm (and record in the Alarm list).
CtrlHBeat sens
This input is used at a redundant controller to sense the "heart beat" from the main controller. The input is to
be connected to the output CtrlHeartBeat of the main controller.
If the redundant controller does not sense the heart beat from the main one, it will activate the binary output
CtrlHBeat FD, which has to be wired such a way, that it disconnects the dead main controller from the
genset, connects the redundant controller instead and activates it.
Force value 1 16
If any of the particular 16 input s is active, the Force value function on that corresponding channel gets
active, forcing an alternative value to the selected setpoint.
CylDifEvalBlk
If the signal is active, the protection based on the difference amongst cylinder temperatures is blocked. After
signal deactivation, the protection is unblocked immediately.

ExtValue1 up
ExtValue2 up
ExtValue3 up
ExtValue4 up
Active binary input causes increasing of the corresponding ExtValueX value. The rate of change is given by
the setpoint ExtValueX rate. If the ExtValueX reaches the ExtValueXHiLim, the further input request is
ignored.
ExtValue1 down
ExtValue2 down
ExtValue3 down
ExtValue4 down
Active binary input causes decreasing of the corresponding ExtValueX value. The rate of change is given by
the setpoint ExtValueX rate. If the ExtValueX reaches the ExtValueXLoLim, the further input request is
ignored.
CylDifEvalDel
Internal prot activity
CylDif evaluates deviation
BI: CylDifEvalBlk
CylDif Prot active
Fault reset


53
Hint:
If at least one of the inputs (ExtValueX up / ExtValueX down) is configured for the particular ExtValueX, the
external set commands to the same value are ignored.
BaseLoad Up
(S)

When closed, actual required power is increasing by Analog External Baseload (ProcessControl: Load ctrl
PTM = ANEXT BASELOAD ) via the pre-defined ExtValue1 of the IG/IS-NT-Rental archive. The pre-defined
value of the analog external baseload is given by the Force value: ExtValue1deflt = 100 kW (also see Force
value: ExtValue1LoLim, ExtValue1HiLim, ExtValue1rate to adjust the limits and rate of change).
BaseLoad Down
(S)

When closed, actual required power is decreasing by Analog External Baseload (ProcessControl: Load ctrl
PTM = ANEXT BASELOAD ) via the pre-defined ExtValue1 of the IG/IS-NT-Rental archive. The pre-defined
value of the analog external baseload is given by the Force value: ExtValue1deflt = 100 kW (also see Force
value: ExtValue1LoLim, ExtValue1HiLim, ExtValue1rate to adjust the limits and rate of change).
ExtValue1reset
ExtValue2reset
ExtValue3reset
ExtValue4reset
Active binary input causes ExtValueX to be reset and held at its default value, given by the setpoint
ExtValueXdeflt.
Hint:
These inputs, if configured, do not block the external set commands (in contrast to ExtValueX up / ExtValueX
down inputs). However, if the reset input is activated, the corresponding ExtValueX is reset to its default
(ExtValueXdeflt) value. This default value is kept in ExtValueX until the reset input is deactivated, and the
external set commands received meanwhile are ignored.

Pulse Counter
Hint:
Pulse width (both high/low levels) must be at least 100 ms in order to be correctly sensed!
Conversion ratio can be selected using the setpoints ConvCoefPulse. The converted values are visible in
statistics values PulseCounter. These values can be reset using Statistics window in InteliMonitor. The
minimum ratio beteen log. 1 and log. 0 has to be 1:1
This Binary input is not IS-NT archives.
PulseCounter 1
PulseCounter 2
PulseCounter 3
PulseCounter 4
The inputs are linked with corresponding counters, which integrate the pulses sensed at these inputs. Each
rising edge of the signal at input increases the internal counter value.
Hint:
Pulse width (both high/low levels) must be at least 100 ms in order to be correctly sensed!
Conversion ratio can be selected using the setpoints ConvCoefPulseX. The converted values are visible in
statistics values PulseCounter X. These values can be reset using Statistics window in InteliMonitor. The
minimum ratio beteen log. 1 and log. 0 has to be 1:1

Lang sel int A
Lang sel int B
Lang sel int C
Set of binary inputs for forcing alternative languages. This set of inputs is switching the controllers internal
terminal for IG-based controllers the front panel, for IS-based controllers the IS-Display with address #1.

Encoding of binary inputs combinations:
Language index -> given by display setting 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Lang sel int A 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1
Lang sel int B 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1
Lang sel int C 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1

Hint:
Warning each language change causes the restart of the respective display (not the whole controller), so
the displays control panel wont react until the restart has finished (~ 5s).
Value 0 in the table denotes that the corresponding input is not active or not configured.
If more than 7 languages are present in the controller, it is not possible to force languages with index higher
than 7 using these binary inputs.
The reaction on BI combination change is 1s delayed not to react on transient combinations if a rotary
selector switch is used.


55
Lang sel D#2 A
Lang sel D#2 B
Lang sel D#2 C
Set of binary inputs for forcing alternative languages. This set of inputs is switching the controllers external
terminal with address #2 for IG-based controllers the IG-Display, for IS-based controllers the IS-Display
with address #2.

Lang sel D#2 A 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1

Lang sel D#3 B 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1
Lang sel D#3 C 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1

Hint:
ECUcomFailBlck
Active input enables to block indication of ECU communication fail e.g. in the case the ECU is
switched off.
Binary inputs Status information
GCB feedback
Generator Circuit Breaker positive feedback input (closed if GCB is closed). This is a primary source for the
controller about the status of the GCB.


56
Hint:
GCB feedback has to be configured to a physical input of controller. Do not configure any breakers feedback
to the peripheral modules, it could caused problems due to time delay..
GCB fdb neg
Generator Circuit Breaker negative feedback input (closed if GCB is open). Additional signal, can be used if
both positive and negative feedback signals are available from the breaker.
Hint:
If both feedbacks are used and there is a mismatch between these signals, longer than 500 ms, a GCB fail
alarm is activated.
MCB feedback
Mains Circuit Breaker positive feedback input (closed if MCB is closed). This is a primary source for the
controller about the status of the MCB.
Hint:
The controller decides based on this signal whether the gen-set is running in mains parallel or island
operation.
MCB fdb neg
Mains Circuit Breaker negative feedback input (closed if MCB is open). Additional signal, can be used if both
positive and negative feedback signals are available from the breaker.
Hint:
If both feedbacks are used and there is a mismatch between these signals, longer than 500 ms, a MCB fail
alarm is activated.
NeutralCB fdb
Use this input to detect, whether the Neutral circuit breaker is open or closed. See also setpoint
ProcCtrlSingle: #Neutral cont. and binary output Neutral CB C/O.
Load res 2
(M)

Load res 3
(M)

Load res 4
(M)

If the input LOAD RES X is closed, the setpoint set Pwr management: #LoadResStrt X + #LoadResStop X
(#%LdResStrt X + #%LdResStop X) will be selected. Higher index has higher priority when more these
binary inputs are closed together. When not configured or not active, setpoint set #LoadResStrt 1 +
#LoadResStop 1 (#%LdResStrt 1 + #%LdResStop 1) is used.
Hint:
All controllers operating in Power management must have the same Load reserves selected.
It is possible to use Virtual periphery to share the signals between more controllers on the CAN bus. In such
case one controller is a server which physically has the signals connected and other controllers get these
signals via CAN bus.
Setpoint set selection depends on the #Pwr mgmt mode if set to ABS (kW or kVA), #LoadResStrt X type
setpoints are active, if set to REL (%), #%LdResStrt X type setpoints are active.
MinRun power 1
(M)

MinRun power 2
(M)

MinRun power 3
(M)

When binary input MinRun power 1 or 2 or 3 is closed, the corresponding setpoint Pwr management:
#MinRun power 1 or 2 or 3 is selected. Higher index has higher priority when more these binary inputs are
closed together. When not configured or not active, minimal running power is 0, i.e. the system works only
based on Load reserves.
Hint:
All controllers operating in Power management must have selected the same MinRun power input.


57
It is possible to use Virtual periphery to share the signals between more controllers on the CAN bus. In this
case one controller is a server which physically has the signals connected and other controllers get these
signals via CAN bus.

(M)
(Priority switch A)
Priority sw B
(M)
(Priority switch B)
Priority sw C
(M)
(Priority switch C)
Priority sw D
(M)
(Priority switch D)

Binary inputs for priority selection.

Priority value Priority 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
Priority sw A 0 or nc 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1
Priority sw B 0 or nc 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1
Priority sw C 0 or nc 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1
Priority sw D 0 or nc 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
Hint:
Priority value is defined by setpoint Priority when all Priority switches are opened or not configured.
The priority value defined by a combination of binary inputs Priority sw X is accepted with 1s delay. So if a
change is made to more inputs simultaneously, it is accepted 1s after the last change sensed.
GroupLink
(M)

If the input is configured, the group linking function is active, i.e. this controller becomes the status server for
two groups of gen-sets and informs them about the BTB status.
If this input is closed, the controller reports BTB status as closed, if open, the controller reports open BTB
status.

SPI Enable
When binary input is closed, SPI application is selected (see also Switching the SPtM, SPI and MINT
applications chapter)

MultipleEnable
When binary input is closed, MINT application is selected (see also Switching the SPtM, SPI and MINT
applications chapter)
Cleaning
Use the LBI Cleaning to set the gen-set to cleaning mode. Under voltage and under frequency protections
are blocked in this mode (Gener protect: Gen>V BOC, Gen<V BOC, Gen>f, Gen<f). It allows to switch off
the excitation of generator while the gen-set is washed. Under voltage and under frequency protections are
not active and do not stop the engine. Yellow warning Cleaning appears in alarm list.

EmergDroopEnab
Closing of this output confirms that the actual constalation of addresses witch the controller can see on
CAN2 is correct and enables the changeover of regulation to emergency droop mode in case that anyone of
the controllers on CAN2 is lost. Deactivation of this LBI when emergency droop is active causes that the
regulation are switched over back to the standard Load Sharing and VAr Sharing mode. Read more about
DROOP.


58
IslAdetectEnab
This LBI Enables/Disables the automatic detection of Island operation in SPtM mode. Read more about
Island Autodetect function.
Binary outputs
Starter
The output is intended to energize the starter motor during start sequence. The output opens if
the Starting RPM level is reached or maximum time of cranking is exceeded.
Hint:
If setpoint Fuel solenoid = GAS ENGINE, the Starter output is active during Preventilation and Ventilation
states as well to clean the engine off the unburned gas.
Fuel solenoid
The output is intended to control the engine fuel valve. The setpoint Engine params: Fuel solenoid selects
the output behaviour DIESEL or GAS ENGINE.
Stop solenoid
The output closes to activate the stop valve which interrupts the fuel input to the engine. The output is
always closed until the engine reaches 0 RPM and other engine running conditions disappear as well +
additional 10s.
The minimum time of activation is given by the Stop time setpoint, so even if all engine running conditions
would disappear before, the Stop solenoid stays closed for that time.
Hint:
The output also closes if the engine begins to rotate spontaneously. It stays closed until still engine
condition is achieved + additional 10s.
Intended only for diesel engines, especially marine ones.
Stop pulse
1s pulse for engine stop command, intended for ECU connection.
Prestart
The output closes prior to the engine start (time defined by Prestart setpoint) and opens when Starter output
opens the last time during starting sequence. During repeated crank attempts the output is constantly closed.
The output can be used for pre-glow, pre-heat or prelubrication.
Ignition
Intended to activate the ignition unit of gas engines. The output closes immediately as engine running
condition is detected and opens after the engine stop (still engine condition). The function is independent
on other conditions, i.e. always if engine running is detected, the output activates.
The output opens immediately when BI Emergency stop gets active.

Hint:
In case of repeated start:
a) the output is switched on when RPM = 30 (it is fixed value)
b) the output is switched off during Crank pause, but not until RPM fell down to 0
c) the output is switched off by STOP command when RPM=0
Ventilation
Intended for the engine ventilator control. The output closes together with Prestart output and opens after the
engine stop (still engine condition).
The output opens immediately when BI Emergency stop gets active or in OFF mode.
Hint:
The output gets active also when genset is spontaneously (not required) cranking.


59
Idle/Nominal
The output closes with transition from Starting (Idle) to Running state. It opens either with transition to
Cooling state (if Cooling speed = IDLE), or after the command to stop the engine (if Cooling speed =
NOMINAL).
The closed output means that Nominal RPM are requested.
Hint:
Connect this output to the speed governor to switch the requested speed: opened = IDLE RPM,
closed=Nominal RPM.
Cooling pump
The output closes when gen-set starts (engine started condition) and opens AfterCoolTime delayed after
the engine stop (still engine condition).
Hint:
When after cooling time is active and BI Emergency stop is deactivated, cooling pump becomes active.
Prelubr pump
If engine is not running, the output closes with period Prelubr pause for Prelubr time.
Not lubricated
Output indicates the lubrication cycle (PrelubrTime) is not finished after controller Switch-on or return from
OFF mode or deactivation of Emergency stop signal.

Binary outputs Breaker control
GCB close/open
The output controls the generator circuit breaker. It is intended for contactors provides a continual active
signal if GCB should be closed.
GCB ON coil
The pulse output for GCB closing. If GCB synchronizing is enabled, the pulse length is 2s, if not, pulse length
is 5s.
Hint:
ON coil can only be closed if UV coil is already active for at least 1s and MinStab time has elapsed.
GCB OFF coil
The pulse output for GCB opening. If GCB synchronizing is enabled, the pulse length is 2s, if not, pulse
length is 5s.


60
GCB UV coil
GCB undervoltage coil. Output is closed if generator values are within limits and GCB is ready to be closed.
It is opened if GCB should be open, and then closed again if generator electric values are in limits. If GCB
synchronizing is enabled, the opening pulse length is 2s, if not, pulse length is 5s.
Hint:
UV coil automatically opens and OFF coil closes if GCB is closed spontaneously, not from controllers
activity. This state lasts until the GCB status has been deactivated.
The only exception is during synchronization state, as an external device is allowed to close the GCB.
GCB status
Indicates breaker state expected by controller (based on gen-set state, controller commands and breaker
feedback). Can be used for external indication of breaker status according to controllers information.
MCB status
Indicates breaker state expected by controller (based on gen-set state, controller commands and breaker
feedback). Can be used for external indication of breaker status according to controllers information.
MCB close/open
(S SPtM appl. only)

The output controls the mains circuit breaker. It is intended for contactors provides a continual active signal
if MCB should be closed.
Hint:
Use binary output inversion (in GenConfig during configuration) to achieve that closed output = breaker
opened.
MCB ON coil
(S SPtM appl. only)

The pulse output for MCB closing. If MCB synchronizing is enabled, the pulse length is 2s, if not, pulse
length is 5s.
Hint:
ON coil can only be closed if UV coil is already active for at least 1s.
MCB OFF coil
(S SPtM appl. only)

The pulse output for MCB opening. If MCB synchronizing is enabled, the pulse length is 2s, if not, pulse
length is 5s.
MCB UV coil
(S SPtM appl. only)

MCB undervoltage coil. Output is closed if mains values are within limits and MCB is ready to be closed. It is
opened if MCB should be open, and then closed again if mains electric values are in limits. If MCB
synchronizing is enabled, the opening pulse length is 2s, if not, pulse length is 5s.
Neutral CB C/O
Neutral circuit breaker close /open output controls the generator Neutral circuit breaker. It is intended for
contactors provides a continual active signal if NCB should be closed. See also setpoint Neutral cont.
LdShed stage 1
LdShed stage 2
LdShed stage 3
Load shedding outputs for partial load switching.


61
Binary outputs Control loops
AVR up
AVR dn
Binary outputs for Volt / PF control by motorized or electronic potentiometer.
Speed up
Speed dn
Binary outputs for Synchronizing and Load control. Outputs can be used instead of analog Speed governor
output for older engine types. Minimum pulse duration is 0,15 sec. Maximum pulse duration is 10,0 sec.

Binary outputs UP nad DOWN of a PID regulator produce pulses, whose length correspond to derivation of
the analog output (further AOUT) of the same regulator. In other words:
1. If there is no change of the AOUT, no pulses are produced
2. If the AOUT is increasing, pulses are generated on the UP output. Pulse length depends on speed of
the increase.
3. If the AOUT is decreasing, pulses are generated on the DOWN output. Pulse length depends on
speed of the decrease.
4. Long pulses on the same output can merge
5. If the calculated pulse in each particular cycle is too short, it is not copied to the output, but is only
buffered. When the buffered pulse exceeds minimal pulse length, pulse is generated to appropriate
output.
The pulses are generated even if the analog regulator output is already at limit value. As for speed and
voltage regulation, this kind of regulation is good for droop-based systems. At isochronous system, it can
cause stability problems, because it is slower.

Hint:
When Speed governor output stays near to the limit value (SpeedGovLowLim+0,2 V or SpeedGovHiLim-0,2
V) for more than 2 sec, the Wrn SpdRegLim message is displayed in the Alarm list and recorded to History.
When AVRi output stays on <2% or >98% for more than 2 sec, the Wrn VoltRegLim is displayed in the
Alarm list and recorded to History.
Corresponding warning is blocked when Binary outputs Speed Up, Speed Dn or AVR up, AVR dn are
configured to a physical BO or VPIO.
It is not recommended to process these signals via the internal PLC, as the precise signal timing would be
distorted.

These outputs are active for 1s if the corresponding button is pressed or binary input gets active or remote
command is issued (from PC software, SMS, ...).
Hint:
This function is valid only when command is allowed. (Pulse is not generated in OFF mode and during start
procedure).
All functions related to front panel buttons depends on setpoint settings Basic settings -> Local Button
CtrlHeartBeat
The output flashes at 500ms / 500ms rate in controller healthy state. It stops flashing when the unit reset
occurs and the new controller start-up fails (signalizes watchdog reset).
Bin selector 1-4
Any of the four outputs is active according to the corresponding setpoints Bin selector X. These are used for
particular ECU settings.
Logical 0
Constant value that can be configured to any output.
Logical 1
Constant value that can be configured to any output.

sequence is detected.
PeakShaveAct
Binary output is active when the gen-set is running due to Peak Shaving ( dependence on parameters
PeakLevelStart, PeakLevelStop, PeakAutS/S del in ProcessControl group).
AllAvailGS run
(M)

The output gets closed if all gen-sets available to take part in power management system are running and
loaded. All gen-sets having the same logical group (Pwr management: Control group) as this controller has
are considered + gen-sets from other logical groups if those are currently linked with controllers logical
group (using GroupLink feature).
InMainsParal
(M)

This LBO indicates that controller (or logical group, which the controller is member of) is connected to the
mains. It means that there exists a way across MCB (IM-NT-MCB application) or MCB+MGCB (IM-NT-
MGCB application) to the controller. It is possible to configure this signal as MCB feedback of the controller,
what can be useful for complicated applications with higher amount of mains.
Hint:
This signal works correctly only if IM-NT is used as the MCB/MGCB control device.
TimerAct 1-4

power in the range 0 to 20 mA.
Hint:


77
It is possible to configure any other value available in the configuration using GenConfig.

If the output range 4 to 20 mA is needed, the limits for analog output should be set according to an example
in the following table:
Requested power range Controller analog output setting
0 1000 kW Low limit: -250 kW
High limit: 1000 kW
Low High kW Low limit: Low - (High Low)/4 kW
High limit: High kW
This setting ensures that 0 kW (Low kW) will correspond to 4 mA.

Statistics
The IGS-NT controller are equipped with statistics values. Statistics values are configurable from
InteliMonitor or GenConfig. They are visible on the controller screens.
kWhours
Is the sum of kWhours produced by the gen-set.


78
kVArhours
Is the sum of kVArhours produced by the gen-set.
Run hours
Number of total run hours. Run hours are counted in the Control unit only when ECU is not configured or
ECU unit does not send this statistics value. In the case of when the ECU provide Run hours controllers
statistics value Run hours is overdrawed by this value.
Num starts
Is the total sum of gen-set successful starts
NumUnscStarts
Is the total sum of gen-set unsuccessful starts
Service time X

controller screen
TotalDownTime
Is sum of time when the controller is in OFF mode or any protection of second level is active or not confirmed
DnTimeReqToRun
Is the sum of time when the controller is in OFF mode or any protection of second level is active or not
confirmed and binary input Rem start/stop / Sys start/stop is simultaneously active
PulseCounter
Is the sum of pulses the control unit recognise on configured inputs.

PulseCounter X
Is the sum of pulses the control unit recognise on configured inputs.


79
Setpoints
Password protection
Any setpoint can be password protected - 7 levels of protection are available. There can be up to 8 users
defined, each one with different access rights (levels of protection). Every user has its own password. The
password is a four-digit number. Only setpoints protected by the protection level that is covered by currently
logged-in users access rights can be modified.
If a user logs in from a particular terminal (e.g. the controller front panel), this does not unlock the other
terminals for him, e.g. InteliMonitor connected directly or via modem.
Setpoints opened from front panel are automatically closed 15 minutes (return to measurement screens)
after the last setpoint change or when wrong value of password is set.
System administrator administrator (User 0 always present in the system) can reset the password for any
other user. The controller programming (configuration) requires the highest - password 7 level, so only User
0 is able to modify the controller configuration or firmware.
Continuous internal evaluation of setpoints validity
In case of detection of Setpoints checksum (validity) evaluation error, the Shutdown alarm Setpoint CS
error is issued to prevent the controller to run the engine with incorrect setting. The evaluation is provided at
controller startup and continuously during the standard operation. I.e. in case of detection of such error, the
engine is shut down immediatelly.
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.

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 up to 105
times without risk of damage or data loss, however it may become damaged, when allowed number of
writing cycles is exceeded!
ProcCtrlMulti (MINT mode)
Hint:
The first character of replicated setpoints name is #.
#SysBaseLoad [ kW MW* ]
From this value, the requested gen-set load is calculated, according to the number of gen-sets running. The
complete system produces the power equal to this value. Active only when SysLdCtrl PtM = BASELOAD.
Step: ....... 0,1 kW / 1 kW / 0,01 MW*
Range: ....... 0,1 kW 650,00 MW*

*Note:
The actual setpoint units and range depend on setting of the Power format (see GenConfig manual).
Hint:
If you set this setpoint to a higher value than the system is able to produce, the total produced power is
limited with the sum of Nomin power setpoints of all gen-sets in the system.
LocalBaseload [ kW MW* ] (FV)
If the value is OFF, the gen-set takes part in the #SysBaseload production or in Load Sharing. If it is set to a
certain value, the gen-set produces this power regardless of the other gen-sets. It is taken out from the PMS
in this case.


80
If the gen-sets operate in island parallel mode, the requested LocalBaseload value can be reduced if the
actual load is lower than this value. The gen-sets in the group will try to match their LocalBaseloads based
on their addresses, so the first limited would be the one with the highest CAN address.

Step: 0,1 kW / 1 kW / 0,01 MW*
Range: OFF, 0,1 kW - Nomin power*

*Note:
Hint:
In the case the total load of the gen-set group which work in LocalBaseload mode is dropping and the load of
the gen-set of the highest address is under 5% of its nominal power then the gen-sets of the second and first
highest address get to load sharing mode together (see the picture below).

#SysPwrFactor [ ]
Requested gen-set power factor when #SysPFCtrl PtM = BASEPF. Values 0,60 0,99 correspond to lagging
(inductive, L) PF, 1,01 1,20 correspond to leading (capacitive, C) PF.
Step: 0,01
Range: 0,60 - 1,20
#SysLdCtrl PtM [ BASE LOAD / LDSHARING ]
BASE LOAD The gen-set is a part of the System delivered power control (#SysBaseLoad) and
produces a certain part of it, according to the actual number of running gen-sets and
self Nomin power. This option is only active in parallel with mains, in island parallel
operation the mode is always internally set to LDSHARING.
LDSHARING The gen-set load is shared with other gen-sets according to the actual load.
#SysPFCtrl PtM [ BASEPF / VSHARING ]
BASEPF The gen-set power factor is controlled to a preadjusted level #SysPwrFactor. This
option is only active in parallel with mains, in island parallel operation the mode is
always internally set to VSHARING.
VSHARING The power factor is equalized with other gen-sets according to the actual reactive
load.

SysBaseLdMode [ INTERNAL / EXTERNAL ] (FV)
This setpoint selects from where the System Base load value is read if ProcessControl:#SysLdCtrl PtM =
BASE LOAD and MCB is closed (parallel to mains operation):

INTERNAL Requested System Base load value is read from ProcessControl:#SysBaseLoad.
EXTERNAL
Requested System Base load value is read from the analog input MLC:AnExSysBld.
It is expected that this signal be propagated via the Virtual periphery system from
one source controller. In that controller, a physical analog input (with external Base
load request signal) must be connected to AOUT virtual periphery module and this
signal is then propagated to all other controllers set to EXTERNAL mode.

Hint:
You should set only one controller in the logical control group to send the data to the CAN bus (= AOUT
virtual periphery source), otherwise the system will not work properly.

SysBasePFMode [ INTERNAL / EXTERNAL ] (FV)
The type of Load Sharing and kVAr Sharing depends on settings of this setpoint.

INTERNAL Requested System Power factor value is read from ProcessControl:#SysPwrFactor.
EXTERNAL
Requested System Power factor value is read from the analog input
MPF:AnExSysBPF. It is expected that this signal be propagated via the Virtual
periphery system from one source controller. In that controller, a physical analog
input (with external Base load request signal) must be connected to SHAOUT virtual
periphery module and this signal is then propagated to all other controllers set to
EXTERNAL mode.

Hint:
You should set only one controller in the logical control group to send the data to the CAN bus (= SHAOUT
virtual periphery source), otherwise the system will not work properly.
Reg kW/kVAr [ STD / DROOP / EMERG DROOP ] (FV)
This setpoint selects from where the System Base load value is read if ProcessControl:#SysPFCtrl PtM =
BASEPF and MCB is closed (parallel to mains operation):

STD Standard isochronous Load Sharing and VAr Sharing are based on CAN
intercontroller communication.
DROOP Load Sharing and VAr Sharing regulations are based on droop. Requested power of
each genset is calculated based on bus voltage and bus frequency.
EMERG
DROOP
Load Sharing and VAr Sharing regulation are based on standard CAN intercontroller
communication, but can be conditionally switched to droop. All controllers are
continually checking the CAN16/CAN32 register to see witch addresses is it in
cooperation (use the LBI EmergDroopEnab to confirm the supervised constalation of
addresses on CAN) . In case of lost of any controller from CAN are the regulation
automatically switched to droop (yellow alarm EmergDroopAct appears in alarm list,
message EmergDROOPon is writen in history). Load Sharing and VAr Sharing
regulation are switched back to the standard mode 60s after the constalation of
addresses on can is set to the original state (message EmergDROOPoff is written in
history, alarm EmergDroopAct has to be confirmed manually). The purpose of this
function is protection against the cut off the CAN intercontroller line.

I/E-Pm meas [ NONE / IM3 CT INPUT / ANALOG INPUT ]
Import / Export measurement selection when one of power I/E modes selected.

NONE No source for I/E active power measurement available. If selected, power control
defaults to Baseload (BASELOAD, ANEXT BASELOAD, T BY PWR).
IM3 CT INPUT Mains I/E active power (Pm) is measured and calculated from controllers Im3
current terminal. The value is multiplied by 3 to estimate the aggregate mains
power.
ANALOG INPUT Mains I/E active power is measured by an external device and the controller
measures this value via analog input LdCtrl:I/E-Pm.
Hint:
Earth fault current protection may be used only if I/E-Pm meas = ANALOG INPUT or NONE.
In case that IM3 CT INPUT is used for import/export measurement, remove the protection Im3/EarthFC from
Protections list (using GenConfig) to avoid false BOC Earth fault tripping.
I/E-Qm meas [ NONE / IM3 CT INPUT / ANALOG INPUT ]
Import / Export measurement selection when one of PF I/E modes selected.

NONE No source for I/E reactive power measurement available. If selected, power factor

measures this value via analog input PFCtrl:I/E-Qm.
Hint:
Earth fault current protection may be used only if I/E-Qm meas = ANALOG INPUT or NONE.
If I/E-Pm meas is set to IM3 CT INPUT, then I/E-Qm meas should be logically set to IM3 CT INPUT as well,
because IM3 CT INPUT is common input for both parameters.
In case that IM3 CT INPUT is used for import/export measurement, remove the protection Im3/EarthFC from
Protections list (using GenConfig) to avoid false BOC Earth fault tripping.

wont go lower for higher input values.
The setpoint actual physical dimension is given by the related analog input and the value assigned to it.
Step: 1 X
Range: 32000 X
Hint:
To record the power derating activity into the History:
-Configure the binary output Derating X act to a virtual periphery input.
-Configure either History record or Warning-protection type to this input to record power derating
activity in History and optionally to indicate it in Alarmlist.
Derating1 pwr [ % ] (FV)
Derating2 pwr [ % ] (FV)
The ratio of decreasing of the gen-set nominal power at DeratingX end level.
Step: 1 % of Nomin power
Range: 0 - 100 % of Nomin power
Hints:
DeratedX pwr = 90% means the nominal power reduction to 90%, not by 90%.
Derating ratio is set to zero and functions are not active when Analog inputs PowerDeratingX are not
configured (e.g. in default configuration).
When Power derating function is active, the generator nominal power is decreased to DeratedX pwr and so
Overload protection (BOC Overload) is based on this Derated power!
The generator nominal power is reduced according to the bigger restriction the more reduced channel out
of the two.

GenNomV [ V kV* ] (FV)
Nominal generator voltage (phase to neutral).
Step: 1 V / 0,01 kV*
Range: 80 V 346,46 kV*
*Note:
Hint:
The nominal value can be externally changed using Force value function. However, it is intended for
changes between standard nominal voltages only (230 / 120 V) using ForceValueInXX source setpoints.

versa)


91
Nominal freq [ 50 Hz / 60 Hz ] (FV)
Nominal generator frequency can be selected as 50 or 60 Hz.
Hint:

Gear teeth [ ]
Number of teeth on the engines flywheel for the pick-up sensor.
Set to Fgen->RPM, if no pick-up sensor is used. In that case, engine speed is calculated from the generator
frequency.
Step: 1
Range: Fgen->RPM, 1 500
Hint:
Generator frequency can be used (for RPM measuring) only when generator voltage (min 10V) is present
during cranking. This is in general not suitable option for gas engines!
Gear teeth should not be set to zero when Engine params:Fuel solenoid = GAS ENGINE (it is likely that
RPM would not reach 30, the gen-set wouldnt start and gas valve would not open see Fuel solenoid).
Some electronic engines provide their own cranking and preheat cycle (e.g. CAT EMCP3). In such case, set
Gear teeth = 0, otherwise it may not be possible to start the engine.
Nominal RPM [ RPM ] (FV)
Nominal speed of the engine.
Step: 1RPM
Range: 100 4000 RPM
The following table shows the relationship between frequency and nominal RPM due to generator poles:

Generator poles 50 Hz 60 Hz
2 3000 3600
4 1500 1800
6 1000 1200
Hint:
Generator frequency can be used (for RPM measuring) only when generator voltage (min 10V) is present
during cranking.
When pick-up cut (fail) comes, InteliSys detects under speed and stops the engine.
ControllerMode [ OFF / MAN / SEM / AUT / TEST ] (FV)
Equivalent to Controller mode changes by MODE or MODE buttons.
Hint:
Mode change can be separately password protected.
FltRes GoToMAN [ DISABLED / ENABLED ] (FV)

92
ENABLED: Automatic switch from SEM / AUT / TEST to MAN mode after Fault reset to avoid automatic
engine start. This function is active for all 2
nd
-level protections (Shut down, Slow stop, ElProt,
Off-load).
Hint:
It is not possible to reset a Fault when Binary input Remote TEST is closed or another mode forcing function
is active.
Set to ENABLED to avoid automatic engine start when Fault reset button is pressed after shut down in
automatic mode.
Local buttons [ PANEL / EXTBUTTONS / BOTH ]

Hint:
Low speed use for long distance connection only. Set all connected controllers to the same speed.
If having problems with needed CAN bus length, see Communication guide / I-CR module.
CAN2emptDetect [ DISABLED / ENABLED ] (FV)
Enables the detection of missing intercontroller CAN connection. If enabled and no other controllers are
detected on the CAN bus (the complete bus, not only within the logical group), this protection activates.
LB/UART Log [ DISABLED / ENABLED ] (FV)
Enables history logging of IG-IB / I-LB connection.
Hint:
If communication via IG-IB is interrupted for more than 5s, it is automatically terminated. If it is established
again after this period, it is considered as a newly created connection and a new record Terminal is done
into history in case of LB/UART Log = ENABLED. This may cause overfilling of the history in case of some
monitoring tools, e.g. InteliSupervisor.


95
CANAddrSwitch1 [ MODEM / OTHER ]
This setpoint defines whether CAN address 122 is used for modem communication over ComAp I-LB
module or direct communication of another device:

addresses 123 and 124
CANAddrSwitch2 [ MODEM / OTHER ]
This setpoint defines whether CAN address 122 is used for modem communication over ComAp I-LB
module or direct communication of another device:
MODEM: Default setting for modem communication
OTHER: Address 125 can be used by other devices to read data via CAN bus the same way as if using
addresses 123 and 124
IP addr mode [ FIXED / AUTOMATIC ]
The setpoint is used to select the method how the ethernet connection is adjusted.

FIXED: The ethernet connection is adjusted fixedly according to the setpoints IP address, Net mask,
Gateway IP, DNS IP. .
This method should be used for classic ethernet or Internet connection. When this type of connection
is opening the controller is specified by it's IP address. That means it would be inconvenient if the IP
address were not fixed (static).

AUTOMATIC: The ethernet connection settings is obtained automatically from the DHCP server. The
obtained settings is then copied to the related setpoints. If the process of obtaining the settings
from DHCP server is not successful the value 000.000.000.000 is copied to the setpoint IP
address and the module continues trying to obtain the settings.
This method is beneficial for AirGate connection as it makes the connection very easy, in fact
"plug and play". When this type of connection is opening the controller is specified by it's
AirGate ID and the IP address does not play any role.
IP address [ - ]
In fixed settings mode this setpoint is used to adjust the IP address of the ethernet interface of the controller.
Ask your IT specialist for help with this setting.
In Automatic settings mode this setpoint is used to display the IP address, which has been assigned by the
DHCP server.
Net mask [ - ]
In fixed settings mode this setpoint is used to adjust the IP address of the ethernet interface of the controller.
Ask your IT specialist for help with this setting.
In Automatic settings mode this setpoint is used to display the IP address, which has been assigned by the
DHCP server.
Gateway IP [ - ]
In fixed settings mode this setpoint is used to adjust the IP address of the gateway of the network segment
where the controller is connected.
In Automatic settings mode this setpoint is used to display the gateway IP address which has been assigned
by the DHCP server.
A gateway is a device which connects the respective segment with the other segments and/or Internet.
ComApProtoPort [ 1 to 255 ]
This setpoint is used to adjust the port, which is used for ethernet connection to a PC with any of ComAp PC
program (i.e. InteliMonitor, GenConfig). This setpoint should be adjusted to 23, which is the default port used
by all ComAp PC programs. A different value should be used only in special situations as e.g. sharing one
public IP address among many controllers or to overcome a firewall restrictions.


96
AirGate [ DISABLED / ENABLED ]
This setpoint selects the ethernet connection mode.
DISABLED: This is a standard mode, in which the controller listens to the incoming traffic and answers the
TCP/IP queries addressed to him. This mode requires the controller to be accessible from the
remote device (PC), i.e. it must be accessible at a public and static IP address if you want to
connect to it from the Internet.
ENABLED: This mode uses the "AirGate" service, which hides all the issues with static/public address into a
black box and you do not need to take care about it. You just need only a connection to the
Internet. The AirGate address is adjusted by the setpoint AirGate addr.
AirGate IP [ - ]
This setpoint is used for entering the domain name or IP address of the AirGate. Use the free AirGate
provided by ComAp at address airgate.comap.cz if your company does not operate it's own AirGate.
SMTP authent [ DISABLED / ENABLED ]
Switch this setpoint to ENABLED if your SMTP server requires authentificated access. You have also adjust
SMTP user name and SMTP password. Ask your internet provider or IT manager for this information.
Hint:
Most of public free SMTP servers require authentification. You will get instructions when you register to the
freemail service.
SMTP user name [ - ]
Use this setpoint to enter the user name for the SMTP server if SMTP authentification is enabled.
SMTP password [ - ]
Use this setpoint to enter the password for the SMTP server if SMTP authentification is enabled.
SMTP address [ - ]
This setpoint is used for entering the domain name (e.g. smtp.yourprovider.com) or IP address (e.g.
74.125.39.109) of the SMTP server. Please ask your internet provider or IT manager for this information.
Hint:
You may also use one of free SMTP servers, e.g. smtp.gmail.com. However, please note that some free
SMTP servers may cause delays (in hours..) when sending e-mails.
If you do not want to send active e-mails, you may leave this setpoint blank, as well as other setpoints
related to SMTP server and e-mail settings.
Proper setting of SMTP-related setpoints as well as controller mailbox are essential for sending alerts via e-
mails
Contr mailbox [ - ]
Enter an existing e-mail address into this setpoint. This address will be used as sender address in active e-
mails that will be sent from the controller. Do not enter your or other recipient's e-mail address. Recipient's
addresses are to be entered into the setpoints AcallCH1-Addr, AcallCH2-Addr and AcallCH3-Addr.
Hint:
Most of SMTP server will reject sending e-mails that contain nonexisting address in the sender address field.
Time zone [ - ]
This setpoint is used to select the time zone where the controller is located. See your computer time zone
setting (click on the time indicator located in the rightmost position of the the windows task bar) if you are not
sure about your time zone.
Hint:
If the time zone is not selected properly the active e-mails may contain incorrect information about sending
time, which may result in confusion when the respective problem actually occured.


97
DNS IP [ - ]
In fixed settings mode this setpoint is used to adjust the domain name server (DNS), which is needed to
traslate domain names in e-mail addresses and server names into correct IP addresses.
In Automatic settings mode this setpoint is used to display DNS server, which has been assigned by the
DHCP server.
ECU Diag [ DISABLED / ENABLED ] (FV)
When set to disabled, the ECU advanced diagnostics is disabled to allow the cooperation with external
diagnostics tool.
Alarm list indication ECU Diag disabled is indicated when ECU diagnostics is disabled.
SHxOcol detect [ DISABLED / ENABLED ]

master (source) is configured.
Engine params
Starting RPM [ RPM ] (FV)
Firing speed when controller stops cranking.
Step: 1 RPM
Range: 0 1500 RPM
Hint:
Under speed limit is given by Starting RPM value once the Under speed protection has been enabled.
The Under speed protection becomes active 5s after reaching Starting RPM or other engine running
condition regardless of the setting of Idle time (transition Idle -> Nominal RPM).
Starting procedure for genset controller equipped with own starting algorithm follow Trouble shouting guide.
Starting POil [ bar ] (FV)
Oil pressure limit for controller cranking termination = one of the engine running indications.
To activate this function an Analog input must be configured to Analog logical input Oil press.
Step: 0,1 bar
Range: 0 10,0 bar
Hint:
Step, Range and dimension depend on corresponding Analog input sensor characteristic.
Prestart time [ s ] (FV)
The binary output PRESTART is active prior to engine start for this time.
Set to zero if you want to disable this function.
Step: 1s
Range: 0 3600 s
Prelubr time [ s ] (FV)
This is the time the binary output PRELUBR PUMP is active. The controller will activate the binary output
PRELUBR PUMP for this time, then pause for Prelubr pause, then activate it again. This will continue the
entire time the engine is not running and the controller is not in OFF mode and EMERGENCY STOP is not
active.
Step: 1s
Range: 0 3600 s
Prelubr pause [ min ] (FV)
Pause between prelubrication cycles.


98
Step: 1 min
Range: 1 3000 min
MaxCrank time [ s ] (FV)
The maximum time the starter motor is energized.
Step: 1s
Range: 1 240 s
Hint:
If Fuel solenoid = GAS ENGINE, the engine will crank 25% longer with closed fuel valve after the last
unsuccessful attempt in order to ventilate the remaining gas.
If magnetic pickup is used and the controller does not receive non-zero RPM within 2s after energizing the
starter motor, then cranking pause follows immediately.
If Fuel solenoid = DIESEL, magnetic pickup is used and the controller does not receive non-zero RPM within
5s after energizing the starter motor, then cranking pause follows immediately.
CrnkFail pause [ s ] (FV)
Pause between crank attempts.
Step: 1s
Range: 5 60 s
Crank attempts [ ] (FV)
Max number of crank attempts.
Step: 1
Range: 1 10
Hint:
A pickup fail shutdown is activated if digital output starter is closed and the controller measures zero RPM
(from the pickup) and non-zero frequency.
Idle time [ s ] (FV)
Idle time delay starts when RPM exceeds Start RPM. A start fail is detected if the RPM drops below 2 RPM
during Idle time.
Binary output IDLE/NOMINAL is opened before and during engine start (during Idle time) and after engine
start is activated - in Cooling state, only if Engine params: Cooling Speed = NOMINAL.
Step: 1 s
Range: 1 3600 s
Hint:
The Under speed protection becomes active 5s after reaching Starting RPM or other engine running
condition regardless of the setting of Idle time (transition Idle -> Nominal RPM).
Min stab time [ s ] (FV)
This is the minimum time the controller will wait, after switching the engine to nominal RPM, to close the
GCB (the delay ensures that the GCB is closed with correct generator frequency/voltage).
Step: 1s
Range: 1 Max stab time s
Max stab time [ s ] (FV)
This is the maximum time the controller will wait for generator voltage and frequency to build up, after
switching the engine to nominal RPM.
Step: 1s
Range: Min stab time 3600 s
Hint:


99
When generator voltage in Max stab time does not reach defined limits (see Gener protect group), an alarm
occurs and the gen-set will cool down and stop.
Warming load [ % ] (FV)
The requested load during warm-up period after GCB is closed. In parallel to mains operation only.
Step: 1 % of Nominal power
Range: 0 100 % of Nominal power
Hint
Warming temp Analog input has to be configured. Otherwise the warm-up procedure does not work.

The requested engine water temperature to finish the warming period. If this limit reached, the actual
Warming time is shorter than Max warm time setpoint.
Step: 1 C
Range: 32000 C
Max warm time [ s ] (FV)
If the required Warming temp is not achieved within this time, the warming period is completed anyway.
Step: 1 s
Range: 0 3600 s
Cooling speed [ NOMINAL / IDLE ] (FV)
Determines function of Idle/Nominal binary output during cooling.
NOMINAL: Gen-set cools down on nominal speed, generator voltage and frequency protections are active.
IDLE: Gen-set cools down on idle speed, generator protections are deactivated (except of Gen >V Sd).
Cooling time [ s ] (FV)
Runtime of the unloaded gen-set to cool down the engine before stop.
Step: 1s
Range: 0 3600 s
CoolDnAfterBOC [STOP / INFIN COOLING] (FV)
STOP = opens breaker, starts cooling, after set time stops engine
INFIN COOLING = opens breaker, starts cooling; engine stays in that state for infinite time; after
acknowledging all the BOC protections (and all the others which can block engine running) it is possible to
switch back from cooling; in AUT mode automatically, in MAN mode after pushing Start button

Cooldown optim [ DISABLED / ENABLED ]
DISABLED: Gen-set cooling period is given strictly by the setpoint Cooling time.
ENABLED: Gen-set cooling period depends on the load that was present in the moment of Stop command.
I.e. the higher the produced power has been, the longer cooling period will be. It is a linear equation:
Act power = 100% of the Nomin power => cooling period = Cooling time
Act power = 50% of the Nomin power => cooling period = Cooling time / 2
AfterCool time [ s ] (FV)
Runtime of the cooling pump after engine stop. Binary output COOLING PUMP is closed when the engine
starts and opens AfterCoolTime delayed after gen-set stops.
Step: 1s
Range: 0 3600 s
Force value possibility:Yes


100
Hint:
For After cooling function configure the binary output COOLING PUMP.
Stop time [ s ] (FV)
Stop time value means the minimum time for which Stop solenoid will be closed. If the engine stopping
procedure will take longer time, the Stop solenoid stays closed until all signs of moving engine have
disappeared (RPM, Vg, fg, Oil press, RunIndicationX) + 10 seconds more to have some safety overlap. After
Stop time has elapsed and the engine is still moving, the alarm "Sd Stop fail" is produced. Conditions for
stopped engine: RPM=0, Ug < 10 V, fg = 0 Hz, Oil press < Ain Sd level, all RunIndicationX inputs
deactivated. However, this is not a normal situation and should be solved by increasing the Stop time
setpoint.
Step: 1s
Range: 0 240 s
SDVentil time [ s ]
If Fuel solenoid setpoint is set to GAS ENGINE, this setpoint adjusts the time of starter motor to be switched
on for engine preventilation in case of a first start attempt after a shutdown or controller switch-on.
Step: 1s
Range: 0 60 s
Fuel solenoid [ DIESEL ENGINE / GAS ENGINE ]
Selection of Fuel solenoid output function:
DIESEL ENGINE: In this mode of operation the output closes to energize the fuel solenoid and enable
the engine to start. The delay or advance of activation in relation to Starter output is
defined by FuelSol offset.
GAS ENGINE: In this mode of operation the output closes to open the gas valve and enable the
engine to start. The output closes only if RPM > 30 (i.e. the starter motor is engaged)
with FuelSol offset.

The output opens if there is any reason to stop the engine or in pause between repeated starts.
Hint:
In the case of gas engine, the underspeed protection cannot be blocked by the Sprinkler function.
For gas engines, it is strongly recommended to use the pick-up sensor, as non-zero RPM detection is
required during the start procedure.
FuelSol offset [ s ]
This setpoint adjusts the Fuel solenoid output activation in relation to Starter output. Positive values mean
that fuel valve is opened after the Starter, negative values mean that it is open before. Negative values are
suppressed if Fuel solenoid = GAS ENGINE.
Step: 0,1 s
Range: -5,0 5,0 s
D+ function [ DISABLED / CHRGFAIL / ENABLED ]
DISABLED:The D+ terminal is not used.
CHRGFAIL:The D+ terminal is used for charge fail detection only.
ENABLED: The D+ terminal is used for both functions running engine detection and charge fail detection.
Hint:
Expected behavior of the D+ terminal with regard to connection of the D+ alternator terminal, alternator type
and setting the D+ function setpoint:
1. If the D+ terminal is not connected, its voltage will be ~0V when the engine is not running, ~Ubat -4V
during the start and ~0V when the engine is running
2. If the D+ terminal is connected to a standard alternator D+ input, it will have ~0V when the engine is
not running, the voltage will increase from 0 to Ubat as the alternator speed increases during the
start and will have ~Ubat when the engine is running
3. There are some alternators equipped with electronic regulators, which are "self-excited" and do not
provide standard D+ terminal. They may provide other terminal ("L" or other), which is designed for


101
connection of a red bulb failure indication instead of D+ . However, this terminal can be "open
collector" only and it will not work with ComAp controllers as it does not provide voltage.
Bin selector 1-4 [ OFF / ON ] (FV)
These setpoints are linked with binary outputs Bin selector X. Activity of these outputs depends on setpoint
state:
OFF: The corresponding binary output is not active.
ON: The corresponding binary output is active.
The setpoints are intended for ECU control, e.g. nominal speed switching. The binary output values can be
transmitted to ECU and control particular functions.
MaxFuelDrop [ % / h ]
This setpoint adjusts the maximal allowed drop of the fuel level within one hour. If measured drop is higher
then Fuel theft alarm is issued. The setpoint should be adjusted according to the maximal hour fuel rate of
the engine and capacity of the tank.
Example:
A 100kW engine has specific fuel rate of 180g/kWh. Fuel tank capacity is 200l.
The hour fuel rate at nominal power is then 100 * 180 = 18000g per hour, what is about 21 litres (density cca
830g/l => 18000/830 = 21). The maximal hour rate is then about 10% of the tank capacity, so optimal
adjustment for this case will be 15% (with certain reserve).
Hint:
The logical analog input Fuel level must be configured onto the physical analog input where fuel level sensor
is connected.

Engine protect
Horn timeout [ s ] (FV)
The maximum amount of time the Binary output Horn is closed (horn, buzzer will sound). OFF = the output
wont be activated, NO TIMEOUT = the output stays closed until the alarm has been reset.

ResetActAlarms [ DISABLED / ENABLED ]
DISABLED: If Fault reset is activated (from any source), only inactive (normally displayed) alarms are
reset. So only inactive alarms can be cleared from the Alarmlist.
ENABLED: If Fault reset is activated (from any source), all currently present (including inverse displayed
= active) alarms are reset (asterisk in Alarmlist disappears for all present alarms). I.e. after an active (inverse
displayed) alarm later on becomes inactive (normally displayed), it is cleared automatically from the Alarmlist
if previously reset.
Hint:
ENABLED mode corresponds to the way that IG and IS controllers (previous generation) handled the
alarms.
Overspeed [ % ]

Service time 1 [ h ]
Running hours down counters are decremented when engine is running. Service alarm is indicated in Alarm
list and History record is activated when at least one of the counters reaches zero. Service time X setpoints
are actual counter values.
Step: 1 h
Range: 0 65534 h; OFF
Hint:
Once a service time has elapsed the corresponding Service time X setpoint must be adjusted again to a non-
zero value to clear the alarm and begin a new countdown.
You can rename the particular timers using Translator in GenConfig to indicate specific service intervals
e.g. OilChange time, SparkPlug time, ...
Service Time can be switched off if Service Time X = 65535 (OFF).

IDMT is inverse proportional to the generator overload. The higher the overload gets the less time will elapse
before the protection activates.

When the IDMT protection is activated the GCB is opened, the event is recorded in the Alarmlist and History,
and the engine will cool down and stop.

Where Reaction time is the amount of time from IDMT detection to the opening of the GCB.

Hint:
The maximum allowable Reaction time is 3600 sec.

Reaction time is the amount of time from IDMT detection to the opening of the GCB.

Min Power PtM [ % ] (FV)
Minimum Power in Parallel to the Mains is the minimal value of the gen-set power in parallel to the mains.
Gen-set is never loaded below this level (even if the active load control loop requests a lower level). There is
no indication or alarm when Min Power PtM level is reached.
Range: 0 100 % of Nomin power
Hint:
If the setpoint Base load is lower than setpoint Gener protect: Min power PtM, the gen-set requested load is
set to Gener protect: Min power PtM.
The value of Min Power PtM is ignored during Warming procedure.
The setpoint is used as a limit for Low power protection: if it becomes active, the load is ramped-down using
setpoint Sync/Load strl: Load ramp, to Min power PtM. After protection becomes inactive, the power
limitation is automatically terminated.

Delay for generator shortcurrent protection.
Step: 0,02 s
Range: 0,00 10,00 s

2Inom del [ s ]
IDMT curve shape selection. 2Inom del is the Reaction time of IDMT protection for 200% overcurrent
Igen = 2* Nominal current.
Step: 0,1 s
Range: 0,0 - 600,0 s
IDMT is inversely proportional to the generators overcurrent. The higher the overcurrent gets the less time
will elapse before the protection is activated.

When the IDMT protection is activated the GCB is opened, the event is recorded in the Alarmlist and History,
and the engine will cool down and stop.

Where Reaction time is the amount of time from IDMT detection to the opening of the GCB.
Hint:
The maximum allowable Reaction time is 900 sec.

Reaction time is the amount of time from IDMT detection to the opening of the GCB.
Igen is the maximum current of the three phases of generator current.

Range: 0,00 600,00 s
Mains Avg>V MP [ % ]
Moving average on mains voltage over 10 minutes
Step: 1 %
Range: 100 150 %

Range: 0,00 600,00 s
VectorS prot [ DISABLED / PARALLEL ONLY / ENABLED ] (FV)
DISABLED: Vector shift protection is disabled.
PARALLEL ONLY: Vector shift protection is enabled only if the gen-set is running in parallel with mains
(= MCB+GCB status active).
ENABLED: Vector shift protection is enabled if MCB status is active.
Hint:
If ENABLED is selected, it is likely that Vector shift protection will trip the MCB before other mains
protections. It senses the fast changes in mains voltage angle position, which occur with every mains failure,
even if the gen-set is not running in parallel with mains.
VS/ROCOF CBsel [ MCB / GCB ] (FV)
MCB: MCB is tripped if Vector shift or ROCOF protection gets active.
GCB: GCB is tripped if Vector shift or ROCOF protection gets active.
Hint:
If GCB is selected and mains failure comes up, it is likely that MCB trips as well later on because of other
mains protections.
VectorS limit [ ]
Vector shift protection threshold level.
Step: 1
Range: 1 45


113

Hint:
To be sure of proper adjusting of VectorS limit, check Max VectorS value on the controller or PC software
screen. Max VectorS value is set to zero when transiting to parallel, and then accumulates the maximum
reached value (positive only) during parallel operation. Thus, during the normal operation, only the
background noise is accumulated (usually max 3), and the protection level should be set to approximately
twice the value of this noise.
ROCOF df/dt [ Hz/s ]
Threshold for activation of Rate of Change of Frequency (ROCOF) protection.
Step: 0,1 Hz/s
Range: 0,1 10 Hz/s
ROCOF Win [ - ]

Range: 3 30
ROCOF prot [ DISABLED / PARALLEL ONLY / ENABLED (FV)
DISABLED: ROCOF protection is disabled.
PARALLEL ONLY: ROCOF protection is enabled only if the gen-set is running in parallel with mains (=

[ MAINSFAIL / GEN RUNNING ] (FV)
Adjusting of condition when MCB opens after Mains fail:
MAINSFAIL: Controller opens the MCB when Mains fail is detected (24 VDC controlled circuit
breaker or contactor expected).


114
GEN RUNNING: Controller opens the MCB only after the gen-set start, i.e. the generator voltage is
present to open the MCB (230 VAC controlled breaker expected). In OFF mode, this
means MCB stays closed all the time, regardless of the mains condition.
ReturnWithIntr
(SPtM appl. only)
[ ENABLED / DISABLED ] (FV)
ENABLED: Enables break transfer of the load back to the mains if reverse synchronizing is not
successful = opens GCB and after FwRet break delay closes MCB.
DISABLED: Gen-set stays running loaded in island when reverse synchronizing is not successful, even if
mains is OK again.
BreakerOverlap
(SPtM appl. only)
[ s ] (FV)
When limited time of running in parallel with mains is required, BreakerOverlap defines max time of running
in parallel with mains. During this time soft transfer of load is activated. Used in AUT and TEST modes.
Step: 0,1 s
Range: 0,0 300,0 s
Ret fromIsland [ MANUAL / AUTO ] (FV)
The setpoint selects the behavior of the controller in the moment the GCB is closed to a dead bus (i.e.
transition to the island operation).
MANUAL: The controller is always switched automatically from AUT or TEST to MAN mode when the
GCB is closed to a dead bus. That means the controller will then continue supplying the load
even if the mains is already restored. The transfer of the load back to the mains must be
initiated manually by switching to AUT again or using the panel buttons.
AUTO: The controller remains in AUT or TEST mode and the transfer of the load back to the mains
is initiated automatically with delay adjusted by the setpoint Mains ret del.
Hint:
Select Ret fromIsland = MANUAL when it is important at what time the load is transferred back to the mains.
ReturnTo mains
(SPtM appl. only)
[ DISABLED / ENABLED ] (FV)
The setpoint influences the behavior of the TEST mode. If mains fail occurs during test (or is simulated using
Test on load function), the controller opens the MCB and switches the load to generator.
DISABLED: Now if the mains recovers, the generator stays running loaded until TEST mode is
abandoned, typically to AUT mode where reverse synchronizing and generator soft
unloading follows.
ENABLED: After the mains recovers, the generator will reverse synchronize back to the mains, unloads
and remains running without load until TEST mode is abandoned or another mains failure
occurs.
FwRet break [ s ] (FV)
Delay between GCB opening and MCB closing during the return to mains when reverse synchronizing is not
enabled.
Delay between MCB opening and GCB closing in TEST Mode, when Return To mains = ENABLED and
power cut comes.
Step: 0,1 s
Range: 0 60,0 s
Hint:
Gen-set is not started automatic in AUT when Mains params OK = 1 nad forward synchronization is not
allowed.
Mains ret del [ s ] (FV)
Delay after the mains return to the start of synchronizing of MCB (SPtM) or GCB (SPI).
Step: 1 s


115
Range: 0 3600 s
Pwr management (MINT mode)
Pwr management [ DISABLED / ENABLED ] (FV)
DISABLED: Controller is not included into Power Management System. It reacts on Sys
start/stop input closing immediately and starts the engine (in AUT mode only). If Sys
start/stop is deactivated, the controller will try to soft unload to mains or other loaded
gen-sets. If this is not possible, it opens the GCB immediately. After that, it cools
down the engine and stops it.
ENABLED: If in AUT mode and the correct dongle (IGS-NT-LSM+PMS) is present, the controller
will take part in the Power Management System. I.e. it will decide based on the
actual load and other gen-sets condition whether to run or not.
#Pwr mgmt mode [ ABS (kW) / ABS (kVA) / REL (%LOAD) ]
ABS (kW): Setpoints #LoadResStrt X and #LoadResStop X are set in absolute values in kW.
ABS (kVA): Setpoints #LoadResStrt X and #LoadResStop X are set in absolute values in kVA. Nominal
kVA of each gen-set is calculated from Nomin current and Gen nom V setpoints.
REL (%): Setpoints #%LdResStrt and #%LdResStop are set in relative values in %. Then % means
minimum allowable relative power reserve of all running gen-sets in % of Nomin power.
Priority [ ] (FV)
Adjusts the priority of the gen-sets. Based on these priorities gen-sets are started or stopped. Priority 1 is the
highest, Priority 32 is the lowest. Value 0 is intended only for external forcing input to achieve the highest
priority in the system.
Step: 1
Range: 0 32

Hint:
Two or more gen-sets can have the same priority. In that case they behave as one big gen-set with the sum
of gen-sets Nomin power.
#PriorAutoSwap [ DISABLED / RUN HOURS EQU / LD DEMAND SWAP ]
DISABLED: Gen-set priority is given by setpoint Priority or forcing inputs Priority Sw X.
RUN HOURS EQU: Running Hours Equalization mode. All gen-sets in the logical group are kept to
work approximately the same number of running hours. See also setpoints
RunHoursBase and #RunHrsMaxDiff. Up to 32 engines can cooperate in this
mode.
LD DEMAND SWAP: For different sized engines, this mode allows to optimally select the running
engines according to the actual site load. Up to 3 engines can cooperate in this
mode. This option works in the #Pwr mgmt mode = ABS (kW) setting only!
Hint:
1. Make sure that all controllers which are part of the priority switching system are connected via CAN to the
priority switching Master controller (Priority Ctrl is set to MASTER).
2. Set PriorAutoSwap setpoint to Disabled
3. Set correct Priority in each genset controller to requested starting value
4. Set PriorAutoSwap to RunHoursEqu

Please note that setting priority in more gensets to the same value means that gensets with the same priority
behaves as one genset. Repeat the procedure whenever you want to manually affect behaviour of the
priority switching system.


116
Priority ctrl [ SLAVE / MASTER ] (FV)
SLAVE: Gen-set priority can be influenced by another controller via the CAN bus. The
controller can be instructed to set another Priority than given by its Priority
setpoint.
MASTER: At least one controller in the logical group has to be selected as MASTER if some
PriorityAuto Swapping mode is enabled. Only the controller with lowest CAN
address becomes an active master, the other are ignored by SLAVE controllers.
The MASTER controller evaluates the Priority changing for all other controllers in
the group and sends them the forced Priority values.
#SysAMFstrtDel [ s ]
System start delay between input Sys start/stop closing and start of Power Management System. When
input Sys start/stop is controlled by mains decoupling relay, this setpoint adjusts the delay between the
mains failure and the emergency start of the gen-sets. If the MCB feedback is closed, Power management is
started with 1s delay after the input Sys start/stop closing - parallel operation with the mains.
Step: 1 s
Range: 0 600 s
#SysAMFstopDel [ s ]
System stop delay between input Sys start/stop opening and Power Management System deactivation.
When input Sys start/stop is controlled by mains decoupling relay, this is a delay between the end of mains
failure and opening of GCB. If the MCB feedback is closed, gen-sets are softly unloaded to mains prior to
GCB opening.
Step: 1 s
Range: 0 600 s
#LoadResStrt 1 (2, 3, 4) [ kX MX* ]
Active if Pwr mgmt mode = ABS (kW) / ABS (kVA).
Required system load reserve, or in the other words load reserve defines the maximum allowable load jump.
The active set of load reserve setpoints 1, 2, 3, 4 is selectable via binary inputs Load reserve 2, 3, 4.
When the required load reserve is not achieved, another gen-set is started. The system can work with active
(kW) or apparent (kVA) power.
Step: 0,1 kX / 1 kX / 0,01 MX*
Range: -320,00 MX #LoadResStop 1 (2,3,4)*
*Note:

Hint:
Use load reserve sets to separate minimum initial power for start-up and necessary reserve in steady
running conditions.

#LoadResStop 1 (2, 3, 4) [kX MX* ]
Active if Pwr mgmt mode = ABS (kW) / ABS (kVA).
The active set of load reserve setpoints 1, 2, 3, 4 is selectable via binary inputs Load reserve 2, 3, 4. When
#LoadResStop 1 (2, 3, 4) level is achieved, the gen-set with the lowest priority (highest setpoint Priority) is
stopped.

Hint:
If additional Minimum Running Power system is used, the engine might not stop even if required by load
reserves. Yet another conditions must be fulfilled in this case.

!!! IMPORTANT !!!
Reserve for stop always has to be higher than corresponding reserve for start for all Power Management
modes !
#NextStrt del [ s ]
The delay before next gen-set start-up in Pwr management. Delay is not used, when the first gen-set(s)
starts.
Step: 1 s
Range: 0 3600 s
#OverldNextDel [ s ]
The delay before next gen-set start-up in Pwr management when the system load is equal or higher than
90% of nominal power of all gen-sets on the bus.
Delay is not used, when the first gen-set(s) starts. Delay is used only when in island parallel operation, not in
mains parallel.
Step: 1 s
Range: 0 3600 s
#NextStopDel [ s ]
The delay before next gen-set stopping in Pwr management. When delay is elapsed, the gen-set starts soft
unload, opens GCB, cools down and stops.
Step: 1 s
Range: 0 36000 s
#SlowStopDel [ s ]
When the Slow stop protection occurs, the controller announces to the rest of the system, that the engine is
no more ready.
a) If there are another sets ready to start and supply the load, the protection waits until the substitute engine
starts and connects to the bus. Then the engine with the active Slow stop protection softly unloads, cools
down and stops. The controller waits for substitute engine max for #SlowStopDel time.
b) If there is no other set to start, the protection activates immediately. If soft unload possible (another set is
running or MCB is closed) engine is softly unloaded, if not, GCB opens immediately.


118
As every protection it has to be reset by operator to get ready again.
Step: 1 s
Range: 0 600 s
#MinRunPower 1 (2, 3) [ kW MW* ]
It is minimum required power of gen-set group (sum of Nomin power of running gen-sets). When Binary input
Sys start/stop is closed, starts and stays running such a number of gen-sets to keep selected
#MinRunPower X value. This is independent on load reserves system, so even if there is high load reserve
that would allow to stop some engines, Minimum Running Power system may force them to keep running.
When binary input MinRunPower X is closed, the corresponding #MinRun power X value is selected. When
more binary inputs MinRunPower X are closed, the higher number has higher priority. When no input closed,
no #MinRunPower X is selected and minimum running power is zero, leaving only the load reserves system
to work.
Step: 0,1 kW / 1 kW / 0,01 MW*
Range: 0,0 kW 650,00 MW
*Note:
Hint:
An engine will be stopped only if the sum of remaining gen-sets nominal powers is higher or equal to
#MinRunPower X level.
RunHoursBase [ h ] (FV)
Running hours base to correct actual Running hours (previous) differences between particular gen-sets.
Step: 1 h
Range: 0 - 200000 h
Example:
Gen-set 1 actual Running hours = 1000 h.
Gen-set 2 actual Running hours = 2000 h.
Adjust RunHoursBase for Gen-set 1 = 1000 h and RunHoursBase for Gen-set 2 = 2000 h to be on the same
base for Running Hours Equalization.
#RunHrsMaxDiff [ h ]
Maximum allowed Running hours difference between gen-sets. Conditions to take part in Running Hours
Equalization:
Pwr management = ENABLED.
Binary input Sys start/stop is closed.
When a gen-set reaches #RunHrsMaxDiff value its Priority is automatically swapped with lowest priority gen-
set that takes part in Running Hours Equalization.
Step: 1 h
Range: 0 - 65000 h
#PwrBandContr 1
#PwrBandContr 2
#PwrBandContr 3
#PwrBandContr 4 [ 1 / 2 / 1+2 / 3 / 1+3 / 2+3 / 1+2+3 ]
According to selected controller addresses combination (controllers must have addresses 1-3), running gen-
sets are selected based on the actual site load.
The limits of site power bands are given by nominal powers of particular gen-sets. The gen-sets that are
required to run in certain power band get the priorities 1, other gen-sets get the priority 32. This system does
not influence the setpoint Priority.
Example:
Gen-set 1 = 20 kW
Gen-set 2 = 50 kW


119
Gen-set 3 = 100 kW
#PwrBandContr1 = 1 (active if load under 20-#LoadResStrt X kW)
#PwrBandContr2 = 1+2 (active between 20 .. 70-#LoadResStrt X kW)
#PwrBandContr3 = 3 (active between 70 .. 100-#LoadResStrt X kW)
#PwrBandContr4 = 2+3 (active between 100 .. 150-#LoadResStrt X kW)
Above the last power band, all gen-sets will be instructed to run.
#PwrBnChngDlDn [ s ]
Delay for decreasing change of the #PwrBandContr X setpoint. The site load must stay in an upper power
band for more than the #PwrBnChngDlDn delay to switch the current (upper) power band to a lower one, i.e.
select lower gen-sets band to run.
Step: 1 s
Range: 0 3600 s
#PwrBnChngDlUp [ s ]
Delay for increasing change of the #PwrBandContr X setpoint. The site load must stay in an lower power
band for more than the #PwrBnChngDlUp delay to switch the current (lower) power band to an upper one,
i.e. select upper gen-sets band to run.
Step: 1 s
Range: 0 3600 s
Control group [ ]
Defines the logical group which links this gen-set with other gen-sets on the CAN bus. The gen-sets in each
logical group make the Load Sharing and VAr Sharing independently on other groups, allowing more such
groups to be present on the CAN bus. Groups can be linked together using GroupLink tools.
Step: 1
Range: COMMON (=1), 2 32
GroupLinkLeft
GroupLinkRight [ ]
These setpoints define the gen-set groups present to both sides of a special breaker. The information about
the breaker status is sent to all controllers via CAN bus and the affected controllers will behave according to
it.
Step: 1
Range: COMMON (=1), 2 32
Hint:
Example: if settings are GroupLinkLeft = 1 and GroupLinkRight = 2 and the special breaker is closed, a CAN
message is sent to notify all gen-sets in groups 1 and 2, that they should work together and make Load and
VAr Sharing not only within their groups, but together with the other group, too.
The message is sent if logical binary input GroupLink is active, and this signal should be linked to the
feedback of the special breaker (e.g. Bus-tie).
Sync/Load ctrl
SpeedRegChar [ POSITIVE / NEGATIVE ]

Step: 1
Range: 0 90
Hint:
If force value function is used with this setpoint, it is strongly recommended to use only another setpoint as
the source of an alternative value (preferably from group Force value). Measured values are not optimal for
this purpose.
Dwell time [ s ] (FV)

Range: SpeedGovLowLim to SpeedGovHiLim V
SpdGovPWM rate [ Hz ]
Pulse-Width Modulation rate of the Speed Regulator pulse output.
Step: 1 Hz
Range: 500 3000 Hz
Hint:
This adjusting can be used for some Cummins and CAT engines speed governor interfaces. We recommend
to keep the default setting (1200 Hz) for all other speed governor types (coming out through the analog
interface +/- 10V).
SpeedGovLowLim [ V ]
Low limit for voltage on analog output of Speed Regulator.
Step: 0,01 V

Gain of power control loop.
Step: 0,1 %
Range: 0 200,0 %
Load int [ % ]
Relative integration factor of power control loop.
Step: 1 %
Range: 0 100 %
Hint:

and MCB are closed. This is valid for both single and multiple applications.
RampStartLevel [ % ]
Value of initial load, on which starts the load ramping according to Load ramp setting in % of nominal load.
Step: 1 %
Range: 0 100 %
Hint:

level to allow the opening of GCB, the breaker will open after GCB open del.
Step: 1 s
Range: Load ramp 1800 s
Sync timeout [ s ]
Maximum allowed time for forward or reverse synchronization.
Step: 1 s
Range: 1 1800 s, NO TIMEOUT
Hint:


123
If the synchronizing does not succeed within (Sync timeout / 10, but minimum 60) s, the speed regulator
output is reset and synchronisation is automatically started again. So if you set the Sync timeout to
sufficiently high value, the synchronizing cycle can be internally repeated up to 10 times.
If NO TIMEOUT is selected, then the time for synchronizing has no limitation and can only be interrupted by
pressing the GCB or STOP button in MAN mode or removing a corresponding request input in AUT mode.
In the NO TIMEOUT case, the synchronization is restarted every 1800 / 10 = 180 s.

ManualFuseSync
(SPTM appl. only)
[ENABLED, DISABLED]
Select controlling of MCB output when reverse synchronization is in process.
ENABLED: External device controls connecting of MCB. The unlimited timeout of synchronization can be
reached Sync/Load ctrl: Sync timeout = NO TIMEOUT.
DISABLED: InteliGen controls MCB output.

Hint:
Reverse synchronization is allowed only when binary inputs Synchro Enable and RevSync Enabled are
closed.

percentages of the requested system frequency (Basic settings: Nominal freq + Nom frq offset) on the
range of the requested power from 0 to 100% of Basic settings: Nomin power.
Step: 1 %
Range: 0 20 %

Sync/load control adjustment
Hint:
Use isochronous speed governor.
Two wire shielded connection from IGS-NT SPEED GOVERNOR output (SG OUT, SG COM) to Speed
governor auxiliary input is recommended.
A full range change of the IGS-NT speed governor output (from SpeedGovLowLim to SpeedGovHiLim)
should cause 5-10% change of the engine speed (SpeedGovLowLim ~ 95% RPM
nom
, Speed gov bias ~
100% RPM
nom
, SpeedGovHiLim ~ 105% RPM
nom.

IMPORTANT
Speed governor has to be adjusted for optimum performance before Sync / load control adjusting.
Check generator phase sequence before the first GCB connection.

Synchronizer adjustment
1) Start the engine in MAN Mode.
2) Set the engine RPM by speed trim on speed governor or by Speed gov bias and SpeedGovLowLim and
SpeedGovHiLim to Nominal frequency.
3) To start synchronizing press GCB ON/OFF button. GCB LED starts to flash to indicate synchronization.
To stop synchronization press again GCB ON/OFF .
Slip control adjusting:
4) Adjust Freq gain to unstable speed control and decrease value by 30 % to insure stable performance.


125
5) Adjust Freq int to stable (fast and smooth) slip control. Synchroscope movement on the controller
measure screen should slow down and stop (in any position, because Angle control is off).
Angle control adjusting:
6) Set Angle gain. Synchroscope on the controller measure screen should move slowly and stop in up
position. Set Angle gain to unstable value (synchroscope swings) and decrease value by 30 % to
insure stable performance.
Load control adjustment
Prior to Sync/Load control adjustment, the Volt/PF control has to be adjusted! Load control loop is active in
parallel to mains mode only (MCB feedback closed). Switch off other engines while adjusting.
1) Set #SysLdCtrl PtM = Baseload, set Baseload value to 30 % of Nominal power of one gen-set.
2) Set Load gain to the same value as Slip freq gain. Set Load int to zero.
3) Start the gen-set in MAN Mode, press GCB ON/OFF button to synchronize and close gen-set to mains.
4) When GCB is closed, gen-set load slowly increases to Base load value. Check that gen-set power is
positive (CT polarity!).
5) Increase Load gain to unstable load control and decrease value by 30 % to insure stable performance.
When Load int factor is set to zero gen-set load can differ from required Baseload.
6) To adjust and optimize Load int change several times Base load between 30 and 70 % of Nominal
power. Usually setting Load int to 100% gives optimal performance.
7) When gen-set is running full load check if
a. Speed governor output voltage value is not limited (not reached SpeedGovLowLim or
SpeedGovHiLim)
b. Speed governor actuator isnt mechanically limited or operates in small section of throttle range.

Volt/PF control adjustment
IG-AVRi output connection
Every time refer to corresponding AVR manual before interface connecting. Use no droop AVR.
IG-AVRi-TRANS (AC power supply for AVRi) has to be supplied from gen-set voltage.
AVRi outputs can be connected as symmetrical: OUT1-OUT2 or unsymmetrical OUT1-OCOM or OUT2-
OCOM.
Potentiometer on the AVRi defines maximal OUT1, OUT2 voltage range.
Use symmetrical (OUT1,OUT2) AVRi output to connect the AVRi to AVR auxiliary voltage input.
Use unsymmetrical output if an external AVR potentiometer has to be replaced with AVRi.
AVRi output voltage should change generator voltage typically in range 10 % of Nominal voltage.
For more details please refer to Installation guide chapter AVR interface examples.

3) Start the gen-set in MAN Mode to nominal speed, without load.
4) Adjust generator voltage to nominal value by the potentiometer present on the AVR. If there is no
potentiometer on the AVR, use AVR DCout bias to adjust the nominal voltage.


129
5) Change AVR DCout bias to 0% and 100% to check generator voltage control range (typically 10
% of nominal voltage). Adjust voltage control range by AVRi trim.
6) Set AVR DCout bias to be Nominal voltage on generator (50%).
7) When gen-set is running unloaded increase carefully Voltage gain to unstable point and then
decrease value by 30 % to insure stable performance.
8) Adjust Voltage int (usually setting to 100% gives optimal performance).

Hint:
To judge optimal adjusting induce generator voltage jumps by AVR DCout bias change or by Nominal
voltage change .
AVRi output OCOM is common output. GND was used instead of OCOM

PF control adjustment
The genset should be cca 30 % loaded in parallel to mains and baseload mode.
1) Set the same values PF gain, PF int as in voltage control loop.
2) Set ProcCtrlMulti: #SysLdCtrl PtM = BASELOAD, #SysBaseLoad = 30 % of Nominal load,
#SysPFCtrl PtM = BASEPF, #SysPwrFactor = 1.0.
3) Start and synchronize the gen-set in MAN Mode by pressing GCB ON/OFF
4) When running in parallel 30% loaded increase slowly PF gain to unstable point and then decrease
value by 30 % to insure stable performance.
5) Adjust PF int (usually setting to 100% gives optimal performance).
Hint:
To judge optimal adjusting induce generator power jumps by SysBaseLoad change or by soft changes of
AVR DCout bias.
Force value
Force value 1-16 [ X ]
Source setpoints containing the alternative values for selected target setpoints. The setpoint with index X
corresponds to the ForceValueInXXth function.
Hint:
As the source for Force value channel can be used any compatible value in the controller (in general all
values and setpoints of types integer8,16,32). In that case the corresponding ForceValueInXX setpoint is
unused on that channel.
ExtValue1LoLim [ X ]
ExtValueX low limit. The value is not decreased under this limit, even if the request still exists (via binary
input ExtValueX down).
Step: 1 X
Range: -32000 ExtValueXHiLim X


130
ExtValue1HiLim [ X ]
ExtValueX high limit. The value is not increased above this limit, even if the request still exists (via binary
input ExtValueX up).
Step: 1 X
Range: ExtValueXLoLim 32000 X
ExtValue1 rate [ X/s ] (FV)
ExtValueX rate of change per second. If the binary input ExtValueX down or ExtValueX up is active, the
value is changed according to this rate.
Step: 1 X/s
Range: 1 10000 X/s
Hint:
If binary input ExtValueXreset is active, the corresponding ExtValueX is held at its default value, regardless
of the activity of inputs Up and Down and regardless of incoming external set commands.
Using this function in combination with Force value you can externally control selected setpoints values and
achieve some special behaviour of the controller.
ExtValue1deflt [ X ] (FV)
ExtValueX default (starting) value. If ExtValueX is changed from this default value using Modbus command,
the new value is kept in ExtValueX until another command arrives or until the controller has been switched
off. If the binary input ExtValueXreset is active, the ExtValueX is held at this value regardless of other
conditions.
Step: 1 X
Range: -32000 32000 X
Load shedding
Ld shed active [DISABLED / ISLAND ONLY /
ISL+TRIP PARAL / ALL THE TIME] (FV)
DISABLED: Load shedding is switched off at all
ISLAND ONLY: Load shedding is active only in island operation; before GCB closing all the LdShed
outputs get closed; in parallel operation with mains is always switched off
ISL+TRIP PARAL: The same functionality as ISLAND ONLY, but in additional it closes all the LdShed
outputs during the power failure ( =change from parallel to island operation); according
to the Load in island operation it can be potentially reconnected beck
ALL THE TIME: Load Shedding works only according to gen-set Power, it works without reference to
operation type (island, parallel or any transitions)


131
Ld shed level [ % ] (FV)
When gen-set load exceeds this level for more than Ld shed delay time, controller proceeds to the next Load
shedding stage - the next binary output Load shed x is closed.
Range: Ld recon level - 200 % of Nomin power
Ld shed delay [ s ] (FV)
Time delay for LD shed level limit.
Step: 0,1 s
Range: 0,0 600,0 s
Ld recon level [ % ] (FV)
When gen-set load drops under this level for more than Ld recon delay time, controller proceeds to the lower
Load shedding stage. The binary output for higher stage is opened (Load shed x). Automatic load
reconnection works only when AutoLd recon = ENABLED.
Range: 0 - Ld shed level
Ld recon delay [ s ] (FV)
The amount of time that the load has to be under Ld recon level before the next part of the load is
reconnected.
Step: 1 s
Range: 0 - 600 s
AutoLd recon [ DISABLED / ENABLED ] (FV)
Switch between manual and automatic reconnection of shedded load.
DISABLED Rising edge on binary input MAN load recon resets controller to the lower stage, but only if
the load is under the Ld recon level. Ld recon delay is not important in this case.
ENABLED Load reconnection is automatic and depends on setpoints Ld recon level and Ld recon
delay. Binary input MAN load recon has no function.
Hint:
To understand Load shedding better see diagrams in section Load shedding (page 9, 10 and 11).
PLC settings
The content depends on actual PLC configuration. Contains all setpoints related to the configurable PLC
blocks. If this setpoint group is empty, it is not displayed.
Timer channel 1-16
Defines the setting of particular timer channel.

There is 16 channels, each defines occurrence date and time (year, month, day, hour, minute), duration time
(in minutes, maximum is 24*60), repeating period (day, week, month, once). In case of week day of the
week selection, when should be executed + selection of repeating (every 1
st
, 2
nd
, 3
rd
or 4
th
week); In case of
month day of the month selection (e.g. every 3
rd
day or every 2
nd
Monday)

Every channel can be disabled by blocking input. If blocking input is active then the timer is not activated
even if it should be, according to its other settings.
The channels are divided into groups of 4. Each group has independent binary output, which activates if any
of the 4 channels within the group is active (1-4, 5-8,...), see the picture below. There is also one common
output for all 16 channels.


132

Hint:
Timer channel 1-16 can be set via Pc software only. See Reference guide for GenConfig.
Act. calls/SMS
History record [ DISABLED / ENABLED ] (FV)

Number of rings prior to answering the modem connection from PC to controller.
Step: 1
Range: 1 30
Hint:
NumberRings AA change is not accepted immedately but after controller is switched on or when modem is
connected to controller.


134
ActCallAttempt [ 1 to 250 ]
When an active call is issued, this setpoint defines the number of attempts to deliver the message.
Step: 1
Range: 1 to 250
Hint:
Timeout for connection is 90 sec and after 120 sec controller starts the next attempt. During the time the
controller is trying to issue an active call, incoming calls are blocked.
Acall+SMS lang [ 1 to 7 ]
The setpoint specifies in which language the SMS and e-mail messages are issued in case of active call.
Adjusted number corresponds to the order of a language as configured in GenConfig. If the selected number
is out of range of possible languages of the controller, the first language is selected as default.
Date/Time
Time stamp act [ DISABLED / ENGINE RUNNING / ALWAYS ] (FV)
Defines the activity of time stamp function:
DISABLED No periodic records are made.
ENGINE RUNNING Records are made with period given by Time stamp per only if engine is running.
ALWAYSRecords are made with period given by Time stamp per regardless of the engine state.

Step: 1 min
Range: 1 - 240 min
#SummerTimeMod [ DISABLED / WINTER / SUMMER,
WINTER-S, SUMMER-S ]
DISABLED: Automatic switching between summer and wintertime is disabled.
WINTER (SUMMER) : Automatic switching between summer and wintertime is enabled and it is set to
winter (summer) season.
WINTER-S (SUMMER-S) : Modification for southern hemisphere.
Hint:
Summer time is changed according to the last Sunday in March and time change is executed at 2 a.m. and it
is set to 3 a.m. Winter time change is done in the last Sunday in the October and from 3 a.m. is exchanged
to 2 a.m..

Controller configuration and monitoring
IGS-NT istallation pack contains separate PC software tools: GenConfig (GC) and InteliMonitor (IM).
GC and IM are based on Windows 95/98/NT/ME/2000/XP or higher platform and require approximately 30
Mbyte of hard disc free space.
Direct connection to the PC
IGS-NT controller can be connected directly with PC via RS232 or USB interface. Use the crossed RS232 or
USB cable to connect PC with controller.
Hint:
Make sure the grounding system on controller and PC COM port (negative of the PC DC supply) are
identical before the first direct connection. There must not be any voltage between these two points
otherwise the internal PTC protection activates and interrupts RS232 communication. In such case
disconnect RS232 line wait a minute for PTC recovery and try again. The simple solution is to assure, that
the PC supply 240/20V is ground free (GND terminal is not connected).
