2 System overview

2.1 General description


NT
InteliCompact (also IC-NT) Family controllers are comprehensive gen-set controllers for single and
multiple generating sets operating in stand-by or parallel modes. A modular construction allows
upgrades to different levels of complexity in order to provide the best solution for various customer
applications. The controllers are equipped with a powerful graphic display showing icons, symbols and
bar graphs for intuitive operation, which, together with its high level of functionality, sets new
standards in Gen-set controls.
The key features are:

 Easy-to-use operation and installation. The factory default configuration covers most
applications
 Various customizations are possible thanks to its configurability
 Excellent remote communication capabilities
 High level of support for EFI engines (most world producers)
 High reliability

2.2 Configurability and monitoring


One of the key features of the controller is the system’s high level of adaptability to the needs of each
individual application and wide possibilities for monitoring. This can be achieved by configuring and
using the powerful ComAp PC/mobile tools.
Supported configuration and monitoring tools:
- LiteEdit – complete configuration and single gen-set monitoring
- InteliMonitor – multiple site monitoring and setpoint setting
- WinScope – special graphical monitoring software
- WebSupervisor – web-based system for monitoring and controlling
o WebSupervisor mobile – supporting application for smartphones
NOTE:
Use the LiteEdit PC software to read, view and modify configuration from the controller or disk and
write the new configuration to the controller or disk.
NT
The firmware of InteliCompact contains a large number of binary inputs and outputs needed for all
necessary functions available. However, not all functions are required at the same time on the same
gen-set and also the controller hardware does not have so many input and output terminals. One of
the main tasks of the configuration is mapping of “logical” firmware inputs and outputs to the “physical”
hardware inputs and outputs.
Configuration parts:

1. Mapping of logical binary inputs (functions) or assigning alarms to physical binary input
terminals
2. Mapping of logical binary outputs (functions) to physical binary output terminals
3. Assigning sensor characteristics and alarms to analog inputs
4. Assigning control values and output characteristics to analog outputs
5. Selection of peripheral modules which are connected to the controller and doing the same as
the above for them
6. Selection of ECU type if an ECU is connected
7. Changing the language of the controller interface

The controller is shipped with a default configuration, which should be suitable for most standard
applications. This default configuration can be changed only by using a PC with the LiteEdit software.
See LiteEdit documentation for details.
NOTE:
You need one of communication modules to connect the controller to a PC with LiteEdit. There is a
special easy removable service module for cases when no communication module is permanently
attached.

Once the configuration is modified, it can be saved to a file for later usage with another controller or for
backup purposes. The file is called archive and has the file extension .aic. An archive contains a full
image of the controller at the time of saving (if the controller is online for the PC) except the firmware.
Besides configuration it also contains current adjustment of all setpoints, all measured values, a copy
of the history log and a copy of the alarm list.
The archive can be simply used for cloning controllers, i.e. preparing controllers with identical
configuration and settings.

2.4 True RMS measurement


This controller measures AC values based on the True RMS principle. This principle corresponds
exactly to the physical definition of alternating voltage and current effective values. Under normal
circumstances the mains voltage and current should have a pure sinusoidal waveform. However,
some nonlinear elements connected to the mains produce harmonic waveforms with frequencies of
multiples of the basic mains frequency and this may result in deformation of the voltage and/or current
waveforms. The True RMS measurement gives accurate readings of effective values not only for
pure sinusoidal waveforms, but also for deformed waveforms.
NOTE:
The harmonic deformation causes that the Power Factor of a generator working parallel with the
mains cannot reach values in a certain range around the PF 1.00. The higher the deformation, the
wider the power factor dead range. If the requested power factor is adjusted inside the dead range,
the controller cannot reach the requested value because of this fact.

3.6 Wiring
Tightening torque, allowed wire size and type, for the Field-Wiring Terminals:
 Based on terminal type:
1. PA256:

SPECIFIED TIGHTENING TORQUE 0.5 NM (4.4 IN-LB)


2. 2EDGK:

SPECIFIED TIGHTENING TORQUE 0.4 NM (3.5 IN-LB)


 For field type terminals:
Use only diameter 2.0–0.5 mm (12–26 AWG) conductor, rated for 75 °C minimum.
 For Mains (Bus) Voltage and Generator Voltage terminals
Use only diameter 2.0-0.5 mm (12–26 AWG) conductor, rated for 90 °C minimum.
 Use copper conductors only.

3.7 Grounding
2
The shortest possible piece of wire should be used for controller grounding. Use cable min. 2.5 mm .
A brass M4x10 screw with star washer securing ring type grounding terminal shall be used.
The negative “-” battery terminal must be properly grounded.
Switchboard and engine must be grounded at a common point. Use as short a cable as
possible to the grounding point.

3.8 Power supply


To ensure proper function:
2
Use min. power supply cable of 1.5 mm
The maximum continuous DC power supply voltage is 36 V DC. The maximum allowable power
supply voltage is 39 V DC. The InteliCompact’s power supply terminals are protected against large
pulse power disturbances. When there is a potential risk of the controller being subjected to
conditions outside its capabilities, an outside protection device should be used.
It is necessary to ensure that potential difference between the generator current COM terminal
and the battery “-” terminal is maximum ± 2 V. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to
interconnect these two terminals together.
HINT:
NT
The InteliCompact controller should be grounded properly in order to protect against lighting strikes!!
The maximum allowable current through the controller’s negative terminal is 4A (this is dependent on
binary output load).

NT
InteliCompact , SW version 2.1
InteliCompact-NT-2.1-Reference Guide.pdf, ©ComAp – May 2015 17
NT
For connection with a 12 V DC power supply, the InteliCompact includes internal capacitors that
allow the controller to continue operation during cranking if the battery voltage dip occurs. If the battery
voltage is 10 V before the dip and it recovers to 7 V within 100 ms the controller continues operating.
During this voltage dip, the controller screen backlight may turn on and off but the controller keeps
operating.
It is possible to further support the controller by connecting the external capacitor and separating
diode or I-LBA module:

The capacitor size depends on the required time. It shall be approximately in the thousands of
microfarads.
The capacitor size should be 5000 microfarad to withstand a 150 ms voltage dip under the following
conditions:
Voltage before dip is 12 V, after 150 ms the voltage recovers to the min. allowed voltage, i.e. 8 V.
HINT:
Before the battery is discharged the message "Low BackupBatt" appears.

The I-LBA module ensures a min. 350 ms voltage dip under following conditions:
 Communication and extension plug-in modules are connected.
 Voltage before dip is 12 V and after 350 ms the voltage recovers to the min. allowed voltage
5 V.
 The I-LBA enables controller operation from 5 V DC (for 10 to 30 seconds).
 The wiring resistance from the battery should be up to 0.1 Ω for proper function of the I-LBA.
HINT:
I-LBA may not eliminate voltage drop when used with the low temperature (-40 °C) version of the
controller and the display heating element is on (below 5 °C). The current drain of the heating element
exhausts LBA capacitors very fast.

3.8.1 Power supply fusing
A one-amp fuse should be connected in line with the battery positive terminal to the controller and
modules. These items should never be connected directly to the starting battery.
Fuse value and type depends on the number of connected devices and wire length.
The recommended fuse type (not fast) is T1A due to internal capacitors charging during
power up.

IT IS NECESSARY TO ENSURE THAT THE POTENTIAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE GENERATOR CURRENT COM
TERMINAL AND THE BATTERY “-” TERMINAL IS MAXIMUM ± 2V. THEREFORE, IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED TO
INTERCONNECT THESE TWO TERMINALS TOGETHER.

CAUTION:
NT
W HEN YOU ARE USING INTELICOMPACT HW VERSION 1.3 OR NEWER IT IS NECESSARY TO UPGRADE THE
FIRMWARE TO IC-NT-1.4.3 OR NEWER.

Since HW version 1.3 the InteliCompact measures current with reversed polarity. It is not
recommended to switch wiring at the current transformer side. To fix this error use FW IC-NT-1.4.3 or
newer.

3.10 Speed measurement


The engine speed can be measured either from the generator frequency or from a magnetic pickup. If
an EFI engine is configured, the engine speed is obtained from the ECU.

3.10.1 Pickup
A magnetic speed sensor (pickup) is the most common method of engine speed measurement. To
use this method, mount the pickup opposite to the engine flywheel, connect the cable to the controller
as shown on the picture below and adjust the setpoint Gear Teeth according to the number of teeth on
the flywheel.
See the chapter Technical data for details about the pickup input parameters.

3.10.3 Additional running engine indication


It is helpful to have information other than speed (RPM), whether the engine is rotating or not,
especially if RPM is measured from the generator frequency instead of magnetic pickup. The
generator frequency measurement can be unreliable at very low speeds and/or may have a delayed
reaction to sudden and big changes (i.e. in the moment that the engine has just started…).
The following conditions are evaluated as additional running engine indication:

 Voltage on the D+ input is higher than 80% of battery voltage. Connect this input to the D+ (L)
terminal of the charging alternator and enable the D+ function by the setpoint D+ Function. If
D+ terminal is not available, leave the input unconnected and disable the function.
 The pickup is not used and frequency is detected on the pickup input. Connect the pickup
input to the W terminal of the charging alternator if you do not use pickup and the W terminal
is available. If not, leave the input unconnected.

NOTE:
The starter cut-off frequency has to be adjusted by the setpoint Start W Freq. If you know the charging
alternator nominal frequency, adjust the setpoint to the frequency obtained from following equation:
"𝑆𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑅𝑃𝑀"
𝑓cutoff = 𝑓nom ∙ ( )
"𝑁𝑜𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝑅𝑃𝑀"

If you do not know the charging alternator nominal frequency, follow this procedure:
1) Make sure that the starting accumulator is fully charged.
2) Close a fuel valve manually to disable the engine from being started.

NT
InteliCompact , SW version 2.1
InteliCompact-NT-2.1-Reference Guide.pdf, ©ComAp – May 2015 22
3) Connect a PC with LiteEdit to the controller and display "Values" window, group "Engine", value
W-TerminalFreq.
4) Select MAN mode and press the Start button to crank the gen-set. Make a note about the W
terminal frequency while the gen-set is cranking.
5) Press the Stop button to stop cranking.
6) Adjust the setpoint Start W Freq to a value twice that which you measured during cranking.

 Oil pressure > Starting Oil P setpoint. The oil pressure is evaluated from the analog input 1 or
from the ECU if an ECU is configured.
 At least one phase of generator voltage is >20% of nominal voltage.

These signals are used during start for powering down the starter motor even if still no RPM is
measured and also during stop in order to evaluate if the engine is really stopped.

NOTE:
Outputs can provide steady current of up to 2A. Every single binary output can provide up to 0.5A of
steady current unless the total current of all binary outputs does not exceed 2A.

3.13 Analog inputs


The analog inputs are designed for resistive automotive type sensors like VDO or DATCON. The
sensors are connected either by one wire (the second pole is the sensor body) or by two wires.

 In the case of grounded sensors, connect the AI COM terminal to the engine body as near to
the sensors as possible.
 In the case of isolated sensors, connect the AI COM terminal to the negative power supply
terminal of the controller as well as the opposite poles of the sensors.

NOTE:
The fail sensor alarm is issued if the measured resistance is smaller than one half of the first (lowest)
point of the sensor curve characteristic or is greater than 112.5% of the last (highest) point of the
sensor curve characteristic.
NOTE:
Analog inputs are typically used for: Oil Pressure, Water Temperature and Fuel Level. All of these
parameters are connected with relevant protections.
Protection of Oil Pressure and the relevant condition of a running engine is joined with AI01 only if:
- the ECU is not configured
- the ECU is configured and the AI01 is set to Alarm + ECU.

3.14 Circuit breakers
There are two power switches controlled by the controller:

 The generator circuit breaker or contactor – GCB


 The Mains circuit breaker or contactor – MCB (SPtM application only)

It is possible to use either a motorized circuit breaker or contactor. Below is a list of available control
outputs that should fit all types of contactors or breakers. The following rules must be kept to when
designing the wiring of power switches:

 The control outputs must be configured and wiring of the power switches must be provided in
such a way, that the controller has full control over the breakers – i.e. the controller can open
and close the breaker at any time.
 The breaker must respond within max. 2 seconds to a close and open command. Special
attention should be paid to opening of motorized circuit breakers, as it could take more than 2
seconds on some types. In such cases it is necessary to use an undervoltage coil for fast
opening.
 The breaker feedback functions must be configured onto some binary inputs and the signals
from the breakers must be connected to it and provide reliable information about the breaker
position.

3.14.1 Breaker control outputs


An output for control of a contactor. Its state represents the breaker position
Close/open requested by the controller. The breaker must react within 2 seconds to a close or
open command, otherwise an alarm is issued.

An output giving a 2 second pulse in the moment the breaker has to be closed. The
ON coil
output is intended for control of close coils of circuit breakers.

An output giving a pulse in the moment the breaker has to be opened. The pulse
OFF coil lasts until the feedback deactivates, but at least for 2 seconds. The output is
intended for control of open coils of circuit breakers.

The output is active the whole time the gen-set is running (GCB, not in idle or
cooling) or the controller is switched on (MCB). The output is deactivated for at least
UV coil
2 seconds in the moment the breaker has to be switched off. The output is intended
for control of undervoltage coils of circuit breakers.

3.14.2 MCB special requirements
SPtM only
1. If a contactor is used on the MCB position, it is recommended that the wiring be provided in
such a way that the contactor will be normally closed and will open if the MCB Close/Open
closes. This behaviour is called “negative logic” and can be adjusted by the setpoint MCB
Logic. The negative logic will prevent accidental opening of the MCB when the controller is
switched off.
2. If a contactor is used on the MCB position, it will open itself immediately after the mains have
failed, because it will lose power for the coil. That is why the following adjustment is necessary
to prevent triggering the MCB fail alarm: MCB Opens On = MAINSFAIL, Mains V Del ≤ 1.
3. If a 230 V motor driven circuit breaker is used on the MCB position and an undervoltage coil is
not fitted, it is not possible to open the breaker after the mains have failed, because there is no
power for the motor drive until the gen-set is started and providing voltage. Adjusting the
setpoint MCB Opens On = GEN RUN will prevent triggering the MCB fail alarm.

3.15 AVR interface


The AVR output is used to control the voltage or power factor of the generator via the remote voltage
adjust input provided by the AVR.
The output from the controller is a 5V PWM that is designed to be used together with the IG-AVRi
module. The AVRi module provides galvanic separation of the controller from the generator and PWM
to voltage conversion, which is needed for most AVRs. The output from the IG-AVRi module is
available as positive, negative or symmetric. The output voltage range is adjustable by a trimmer
located on the module.
The initial level of the AVR output is adjustable by the setpoint AVRi Bias.

3.15.1 IG-AVRi
Automatic voltage Regulator interface is used for volt/PF control adjustment through galvanic
separated inputs and outputs.
CAUTION:
Refer each time to the corresponding AVR manual before connecting the interface. IG-AVRi-TRANS
(AC power supply for AVRi) has to be supplied from gen-set voltage.

AVRi output can be connected as symmetrical: OUT1-OUT2 or unsymmetrical OUT1-GND or OUT2-


GND.
- The potentiometer on the AVRi defines maximum 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 the generator voltage typically in the range ± 10% of the
Nominal voltage.
NOTE:
IG-AVRi is not included in the standard package with the controller.
IG-AVRi TRANS/LV is a power supply unit for IG-AVRi; it is not included with the IG-AVRi package.

The Vext input (connector CN1 – terminals 10 and 11) permits analog remote control of output voltage with a
programmable variation range of up to ±10% (parameter 16, by default the setting is ±5%) with respect to the
value set. If you want to use continuous voltage, it will be effective if it is in the range between 0 V and
+2.5 V. The input tolerates voltages from -5 V to +5 V, but for values exceeding the limits of 0 V / +2.5 V (or
in the event of disconnection) it is automatically disabled and the voltage adjustment goes back to the value
set through the trimmer (if enabled) or through parameter 19 (as shown on the picture).
Changing the DSR parameters requires a PC with dedicated software and a DI1-DSR unit!

DSR automatically detects the presence of a transformer for parallel operation (if used it works with droop, if
not used then it works isochronous).

3.16 Speed governor interface
The speed governor output is used to control the speed or the power of the engine via the remote
speed controlling input provided by the speed governor.
The output from the controller can work in the following modes:

 voltage mode 0 to 10 V
 voltage mode 0 to 10 V with serial 10k resistor
 5 V PWM mode

NOTE:
The PWM mode is designed and optimized for Caterpillar governors. Since IC-NT SW v. 1.4.4 speed
governor PWM frequency is fixed to 500 Hz.

The jumpers for speed governor output mode are shown on the picture below.
VoutR
PWM
Vout

The initial level of the governor output is adjustable by the setpoint Speed Gov Bias and the
characteristic (positive or negative) can be selected by the setpoint Speed Gov Char.
The active range of the output can be adapted to the governor input range by setpoints
SpeedGovLowLim and SpeedGovHiLim.
NOTE:
Some governors may evaluate input voltage out of the allowed range as a faulty condition and their
functioning may be blocked.

3.17 CAN bus wiring
The wiring of the CAN bus communication should be provided in such a way that the following rules
are observed:
 The maximum length of the CAN bus depends on the communication speed. For a speed of
250 kbps, which is used on the CAN1 bus (extension modules, ECU) and CAN2 bus if it is
switched to 32C mode, the maximum length is 200 m. If the CAN2 bus is switched to 8C mode
the speed is 50 kbps and the maximum length is 800 m.
 The bus must be wired in linear form with termination resistors at both ends. No nodes are
allowed except on the controller terminals.
NOTE:
A termination resistor at the CAN is already implemented on the PCB. For connecting, close
the jumper near the appropriate CAN terminal.
 Use a cable with following parameters:

Cable type Shielded twisted pair

Impedance 120 Ω

Propagation velocity ≥ 75% (delay ≤ 4.4 ns/m)


2
Wire crosscut ≥ 0.25 mm

Attenuation (@1MHz) ≤ 2dB/100 m

120R 120R

CAN BUS TOPOLOGY

NOTE:
See the website www.can-cia.org for information about the CAN bus, specifications, etc.

3.19.5 IC-NT CT-BIO7
Hybrid current input and binary input/output module (SPtM)
IC-NT CT-BIO7 is an optional plug-in card. Through this card the controller can accommodate one
AC current (CT) measuring input and up to 7 binary inputs or outputs. In the LiteEdit PC configuration
tool (version 4.4 and higher) it is possible to easily choose if particular I/O will be binary input or
output.
NOTE:
Current measuring input is intended to measure one phase (AC) current of mains and to limit
Export/Import to/from mains to zero value during parallel to mains operation. This is the case of the
SPtM application, so current input of the IC-NT CT-BIO7 module is useful for SPtM controllers only.

To insert the module, you must open the cover first (use a screwdriver to open) and then insert the
module into the slot. Once you have inserted it, the module will snap under the plastic teeth. It is
supposed to be installed permanently. Should you need to remove it, the safest way is to remove the

3.20.5.1 SMS Commands


NT
To control the gen-set equipped with InteliCompact controller and IL-NT GPRS communication
module (or modem) via SMS requests, send an SMS in the structure of:
# xxxx, yyyy, zzzz, etc.
to the telephone number of the SIM card in your IL-NT-GPRS module (or modem). Where the “#” mark
means the controller access code, “xxxx” means the Command 1, “yyyy” is Command 2, “zzzz” is
Command 3, etc.

Table of SMS requests:


start Start the engine in MAN mode.
stop Stop the engine in MAN mode.
fault reset Acknowledging alarms and deactivating the horn output.
gcb close Closing GCB in MAN and TEST mode.
gcb open Opening GCB in MAN and TEST mode.
mcb close Closing MCB in MAN and TEST mode (only in IC-NT SPTM).
mcb open Opening MCB in MAN and TEST mode (only in IC-NT SPTM).
off Switching to OFF mode.
man Switching to MAN mode.
aut Switching to AUT mode.
test Switching to TEST mode.
status Get status information from controller unit.
help Get a list of available SMS requests.

Example:

When the controller, in AUT mode, with a controller name of “IC-NT-Test”, with the IL-NT
GPRS module and access code “0” receives the SMS:

0 man, start, d10, gcb close, d300, gcb open, d30, stop, d30, aut

the mode will be changed to MANUAL. The engine will be started and after 10 s the
controller will start the synchronization process and the GCB will close. After 300 s (from
the point of starting synchronization) the GCB will open (after the “GCB Opens Del”
setpoint), the engine will stop with a 30 s delay and it will go into AUT mode.

The controller will send back the SMS:

#IC-NT-Test:
man<OK>,start<OK>,d_ok,gcb_close<OK>,d_ok,
gcb_open<OK>,d_ok,stop<OK>,d_ok,aut<OK>

if all conditions are correct.


NOTE:

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

3.21.1 Differences between a classic and EFI-engine application


The main difference is less wiring, sensors and actuators in an EFI-engine application compared to a
classic one. The typical wiring of an EFI-engine application shows that there are no analog sensors,
no pickup and no governor. All this information is being communicated between the controller and the
ECU via the communication bus.

NOTE:
The ECU values Oil pressure, Coolant temperature and Fuel level can be configured as source values
for the controller analog inputs 1, 2, 3 instead of physical terminals. In that case, all analog input-
related things like protections, switches, etc. work the same way as if physical terminals are used.

4 Putting it into operation

4.1 Programming the configuration


The controller is delivered with a default configuration that should fit most standard applications.
Nevertheless you may need to modify it because your application is different. Please refer to the
LiteEdit manual or help file for information on using LiteEdit for changing the particular items of the
configuration and writing the configuration to the controller.

CONFIGURATION WINDOW IN LITEEDIT

4.2 Programming the firmware


Although the controller is delivered with the latest firmware available at the moment of production, it
may be necessary to upgrade the firmware in future. The process of programming the firmware
involves the following steps:

1. First you need the requested firmware. Firmware of standard branch and major versions are
distributed and installed together with the LiteEdit installation package. Release versions and
branches are distributed as import packages that need to be imported into LiteEdit.
2. The latest installation and/or import packages are available for download at www.comap.cz.
Please register to get access to the download page. Registration is free.
3. The import package is a file with the IWE extension. To perform the import, start LiteEdit, do
not open any connections, go to Options -> Import firmware and select the appropriate file.
4. Create an online connection to the controller and save the archive for backup purposes.

NOTE:
It is not possible to update firmware when the connection is offline!

5. Go to the menu Controller -> Programming and cloning -> Programming, select the
appropriate firmware and press the OK button.
6. The selected firmware will be programmed into your controller.

NT
InteliCompact , SW version 2.1
InteliCompact-NT-2.1-Reference Guide.pdf, ©ComAp – May 2015 72
NOTE:
It is possible to program only firmware compatible with the currently attached controller. Other
firmware is disabled and cannot be selected for programming.

CAUTION!
The configuration reverts to the default after firmware has been programmed. You must re-program
the configuration if the default one is not appropriate for your application!

CAUTION!
Also some setpoints may have incorrect values after new firmware was programmed. Please check all
setpoints after programming.

4.3 Programming a non-responsive controller


If the controller does not contain valid firmware, new firmware cannot be programmed in the standard
way. This situation can occur if the connection between the PC and the controller was interrupted e.g.
during a previous firmware upgrade. In such a case the controller has a blank display and does not
communicate with the PC. The boot-jumper must be used to get valid firmware into the controller.

1. Disconnect the power supply from the controller, insert a communication module and close the
boot-jumper.

BOOT-JUMPER ON IL-NT RS232


NOTE:
See the communication modules chapter for information about boot-jumper position on other
modules.

2. Connect the proper communication cable between the controller and PC.
3. Start LiteEdit and open an online connection according to the module used. Select controller
address 1. Wait until the bottom line of LiteEdit shows a red line with the text "DDE server:
Error".
4. Go to the menu Controller -> Programming and cloning -> Programming, select the
appropriate firmware and press the OK button.
5. Follow the instructions in the message that appears and finally press the OK button.
6. Another message will appear when programming is finished. Follow the instructions given
there.

4.6 Step-by-step guide
In the following you will find several steps which you should carry out when you are putting a gen-set
into operation. It supposes that the switchboard wiring has been already checked.
NOTE:
This guide is not a handbook for a beginner, but it is focused on things specific for ComAp controllers
and expects sufficient knowledge and skills in the field of generating sets!

WARNING!
Some parts of the generator, engine and switchboard may carry dangerous voltage which can cause
injury or death when touched!

WARNING!
Rotating parts of the gen-set can catch hair or clothing and cause serious injury.

1. Disconnect the binary outputs from the controller before connecting the power supply. If you
have an SPtM application, be sure that the MCB and GCB are protected against accidental
switching when you are working in the switchboard.
2. Check the controller configuration according to the wiring diagram of the switchboard. If the
configuration has been modified, write it to the controller
3. Write all setpoints from the default archive and then go through them and readjust all of them
if it is necessary. Pay special attention to nominal values, overspeed, gear teeth, fuel solenoid
and CT ratio.
4. Check all settings regarding speed sensing and additional running information, especially if
you do not use a pickup for speed sensing.
5. Adjust bias setpoints for the governor and AVRi output to the recommended levels and adjust
all delays for generator protections to high values to have enough time for making adjustments
on a running gen-set.
6. Connect the binary outputs back.
7. Adjust all setpoints related to engine start and stabilization phase, then start the gen-set in
MAN mode and then make fine readjustments.
8. Leave the gen-set running and adjust the governor and/or AVRi so that the gen-set will have a
speed and voltage near to the nominal values. If it is not possible to achieve this by turning the
trim on the AVRi and/or governor, you can also slightly change the bias setpoints.

NOTE:
The bias setpoints must not be near the limits for the particular output, because the regulation
loops need sufficient reserve of the output range on both sides to work correctly.

9. Adjust all generator and engine protections according to your needs including the delays.
10. Adjust the setpoint Phase Window to 0. This adjustment will disable issuing of the GCB close
command during synchronization, but the synchronization itself will be performed normally for
the whole adjusted time.
11. Press the GCB button to start the synchronizing. Then, using a voltmeter connected directly
over the contactor, check if the synchroscope indication on the controller screen matches the
voltage. The voltage must be near to 0V when the synchroscope is in a 12 o'clock position
and near to 2*Unominal when it is in a 6 o'clock position. Check all three phases.

12. Adjust the setpoint Phase Window back to your desired value (typically 3–7°).
13. Synchronize the gen-set with the mains or other gen-sets. Adjust the setpoints for voltage,
frequency and angle regulation loops to achieve fast and reliable synchronization.
14. Adjust the setpoints for power, power factor, load-sharing and VARsharing loops.
15. Check the rest of the setpoints and then save the archive to disk for backup purposes.

6.3 Operating modes
Selecting the operating mode is done through MODE buttons on the front panel or by changing the
Controller mode setpoint (from the front panel or remotely).
NOTE:
If this setpoint is configured as password-protected, the correct password must be entered prior to
attempting to change the mode.

NOTE:
The mode cannot be changed if Access Lock input is active.

The following binary inputs can be used to force one respective operating mode independent of the
mode setpoint selection:

 Remote OFF
 Remote MAN
 Remote AUT
 Remote TEST
 Rem TEST OnLd

If the respective input is active the controller will change the mode to the respective position according
to the active input. If multiple inputs are active, the mode will be changed according to priorities of the
inputs. The priorities match the order in the list above. If all inputs are deactivated, the mode will return
to the original position given by the setpoint.

6.3.1 OFF
The GCB will be opened and the engine will be immediately stopped in this mode without unloading
and cooling. After that the controller will stay in Not ready status and cannot be started any way. The
MCB is closed permanently (MCB Opens On = GENRUN) or is open or closed according to whether
the mains are present or not (MCB Opens On = MAINSFAIL). No AMF function will be performed. The
buttons MCB, GCB, START, STOP including the appropriate binary inputs for external buttons are not
active.

6.3.2 MAN
The engine can be started and stopped manually using the START and STOP buttons (or external
buttons wired to the appropriate binary inputs) in MAN mode. When the engine is running, GCB can
be closed to a dead bus or synchronizing can be started by the GCB button. Also MCB can be closed
and opened manually using the MCB button, regardless of whether the mains are present or not. No
auto start is performed. No reaction to the inputs Sys Start/Stop or Rem Start/Stop.
A loaded engine in MAN mode will perform Load sharing and VAR sharing, but will not take place
within the power management.
NOTE:
The breakers are internally locked to close two voltages against each other without synchronizing! The
controller will automatically recognize if the breaker can be just closed or must be synchronized.

CAUTION!
The MCB can be opened manually in MAN mode. Accidental opening of the MCB will cause the object
(load) to remain without power!!!

NT
InteliCompact , SW version 2.1
InteliCompact-NT-2.1-Reference Guide.pdf, ©ComAp – May 2015 90
6.3.3 AUT
The engine is started and stopped by the binary input Rem Start/Stop (SPtM), by the Load demand
auto start function (SPtM) or by the Power management (MINT). The buttons MCB, GCB, START,
STOP including the appropriate binary inputs for external buttons are not active. The full start
sequence up to the moment when the engine is loaded is automatic as well as unloading and the stop
sequence.
WARNING!
If a red alarm is present and the gen-set is in AUT mode, it can start by itself after all red alarms
become inactive and are acknowledged!!! To avoid this situation, adjust the setpoint Reset to MAN to
the ENABLED position.

6.3.4 TEST
SPtM only
The behaviour of the controller in TEST mode depends mainly on the setting of the ReturnFromTEST
setpoint.

6.3.4.1 Automatic return


Setpoint ReturnFromTEST = ENABLED.
The gen-set will be started when the controller is put into TEST mode and will remain running
unloaded. If a mains failure occurs, the MCB will be opened and after Transfer Del the GCB will be
closed and the gen-set will supply the load. After the mains have recovered, the delay
MainsReturnDel will count down and if it elapses and the mains are still ok, the controller will
synchronize back to the mains, transfer the load back to the mains (the maximum time that both
breakers are closed is determined by the BreakerOverlap setpoint) and the gen-set will remain
running unloaded again until the mode is changed.

6.3.4.2 Manual return


Setpoint ReturnFromTEST = DISABLED.
The gen-set will be started when the controller is put to TEST mode and will remain running unloaded.
If a mains failure occurs, the gen-set will take the load after it has started.
The load can be transferred to the gen-set also manually:

 If the GCB button is pressed, the controller will synchronize to the mains, transfer the load to
the gen-set (the maximum time that both breakers are closed is determined by the
BreakerOverlap setpoint) and then open the MCB.
 If the MCB button is pressed, the controller will open the MCB, then wait for Transfer Del and
finally close the GCB.

When the load is supplied by the gen-set and the mains are healthy, pressing the MCB button will start
reverse synchronizing and transfer the load back to the mains.
The gen-set remains running until the mode is changed.

6.3.4.3 Test with load


If the binary input Rem TEST OnLd is activated, the controller is switched to the TEST mode (i.e. the
gen-set will be started as described above), but once started the controller will automatically either

 synchronize to the mains (setpoint Synchro Enable = BOTH or FORWARD, binary input
ForwSyncDisabl is not active), transfer the load to the gen-set and then open the MCB. If the
mains Import/Export is measured (setpoint Im/EF input = Mains) then there is a time limitation
(setpoint Load Ramp) for unloading and opening of the MCB. The MCB opens when the
Import/Export goes below 0 ± 5% of the Nominal Power. If the Load Ramp time elapsed and

NT
InteliCompact , SW version 2.1
InteliCompact-NT-2.1-Reference Guide.pdf, ©ComAp – May 2015 91
Import/Export doesn't go below 0 ± 5% the alarm WrnTstOnLdFail becomes active and it's
recorded in the history. If the setpoint Im/EF input = EarthFltC then the MCB is opened after
delay given by setpoint BreakerOverlap.

Or
 will make a switchover (setpoint Synchro Enable = NONE or REVERSE), i.e. open the MCB,
wait for Transfer Del and close the GCB.
After the binary input Rem TEST OnLd has been deactivated, the controller goes back to the previous
operation mode (synchronize or switchover with regard to the setpoint Synchro Enable). In most cases
it will be AUT mode and the controller will either stay supplying the load if the mains have failed, or will
transfer the load back to the mains.
NOTE:
During the BreakerOverlap time, when both breakers are closed, the load is controlled either to zero
Import/Export level (if the MCB has to be opened) or to zero level (if the GCB has to be opened).

6.3.4.4 Periodic exercises


The output from the Exercise timer 1 is internally connected to the Remote TEST binary input to
enable periodic testing of the gen-set.
The controller must have AUT mode selected by the mode buttons and the other “mode forcing” binary
inputs must not be active to ensure proper function of the exercise.
NOTE:
If a shutdown or other red alarm occurs while the load is supplied from the gen-set and the mains are
healthy, the load is switched back to the mains.

6.4 Engine start

6.4.1 Diesel engine


The setpoint Fuel Solenoid must be switched to the DIESEL position.

1. After the command for start is issued (pressing START button in MAN mode, auto start
condition is fulfilled in AUT mode or controller is switched to TEST mode), the output Prestart
is energized for time period given by the setpoint Prestart Time.
2. After the prestart has elapsed, the output Fuel Solenoid is energized and 0.5 after that the
starter motor is activated by energizing the output Starter.
3. When one or more of following conditions are met, the prestart and starter of both outputs are
de-energized:
 The engine speed exceeds the value of Starting RPM, or
 One of additional running indication signals becomes active.
4. The controller remains in the Starting phase until the engine speed exceeds the value of
Starting RPM, after that it is considered as started and the Idle period will follow.
5. The maximum duration that the starter motor is energized is determined by the setpoint
MaxCrank time. If the engine does not start within this period, the starter motor is de-
energized and a pause with length determined by CrnkFail pause will follow. Prestart output
remains active during the pause. After the pause has elapsed, the next start attempt is
executed. The number of start attempts is given by the setpoint Crank Attempts.
6. Once the engine is started, the Idle period follows. The binary output Idle/Nominal remains
inactive (as it was during the start). The idle period duration is adjusted by the setpoint Idle
Time.
7. After the idle period has finished, the output Idle/Nominal is activated and the start-up
sequence is finished. The stabilization phase follows.

6.4.2 Gas engine
The setpoint Fuel Solenoid must be switched to the GAS position.

1. After the command for start is issued (pressing START button in MAN mode, auto start
condition is fulfilled in AUT mode or controller is switched to TEST mode), the output Prestart
is energized for time period given by the setpoint Prestart Time.
2. After the prestart has elapsed, the starter motor is activated by energizing the output Starter.
3. When the engine speed exceeds 30RPM, the outputs Fuel Solenoid and Ignition are
energized.
4. When the engine speed exceeds value of Starting RPM, the starter motor is de-energized, the
engine is considered as started and the Idle period will follow.

CAUTION!
Additional running indication signals are not evaluated during the start of a gas engine. The
Pickup must be used in any case!

5. The maximum duration the starter motor is energized is determined by the setpoint MaxCrank
Time. If the engine does not start within this period, the starter motor and fuel solenoid are de-
energized and a pause with a length determined by CrnkFail Pause will follow. Prestart output
and ignition remain active during the pause. After the pause has elapsed, the next start
attempt is executed. The number of start attempts is given by the setpoint Crank Attempts.
6. Once the engine is started, the Idle period follows. The binary output Idle/Nominal remains
inactive (as it was during the start). The idle period duration is adjusted by the setpoint Idle
Time.
7. After the idle period has finished, the output Idle/Nominal is activated and the start-up
sequence is finished. The stabilization phase follows.

NOTE:
The starting sequence will be interrupted at any time if a stop command comes.
NOTE:
The Underspeed protection starts to be evaluated 5 after the engine has been started (according to
point 4).

NOTE:
When the engine is started (according to point 4) the delay given by the setpoint ProtectHoldOff will
count down. After it has elapsed, the protections configured as engine running only will start to be
evaluated.

Continue to the stabilization phase.

6.5 Stabilization
When the start-up sequence is finished, the gen-set goes into the stabilization phase. There are two
timers (setpoints) in this phase:

1. Min Stab Time starts to count down just after the idle period has finished. Generator voltage
and frequency are not checked (respective protections are not evaluated) and the GCB
cannot be closed even if the generator voltage and frequency are within limits.
2. Max Stab Time starts to count down just after the idle period has finished. Generator voltage
and frequency are not checked (respective protections are not evaluated) but, opposite to the
previous timer, the GCB can be closed (or synchronizing started) if generator voltage and
frequency are within limits.

In situations where the GCB is closed automatically (AUT, TEST modes), the closing of GCB or
starting of synchronization will occur in the first moment when the generator voltage and frequency will
get into limits and the Min Stab Time has already elapsed.
In the event that the generator voltage or frequency are not within limits within the Max Stab Time
period, the appropriate protection(s) will be activated and the gen-set will be cooled down and
stopped.
NOTE:
The limits for the generator voltage and frequency are given by setpoints in the Gener protect group.

NOTE:
The value of the Min Stab Time setpoint must be lower than the value of Max Stab Time setpoint.

Continue to the connecting to the load phase.

6.6 Connecting to the load


When the stabilization phase is finished, the gen-set can be connected to the load.
The command for connecting the gen-set to the load is issued either automatically (AUT, TEST
modes) or manually by pressing the GCB button. The following conditions must be valid:

 The gen-set is running and the Min Stab Time timer has elapsed.
 The gen-set voltage and frequency are within limits.

NT
InteliCompact , SW version 2.1
InteliCompact-NT-2.1-Reference Guide.pdf, ©ComAp – May 2015 96
NOTE:
The governor and AVR must be adjusted properly to achieve these limits as the controller does not
perform any regulation and the regulation outputs have constant values given by the AVRi Bias and
Speed Gov Bias setpoints.

There are two ways to connect the gen-set to the load (bus bar). This depends on the state of MCB
feedback and on the measured mains/bus voltage.

6.6.1 Connecting to dead bus


SPtM: if the MCB is open, the bus bar is considered as voltage-free and the GCB is closed without
synchronizing.
MINT: the measured bus voltage is also taken in account and it must be below 2% of the nominal bus
voltage together with the open MCB to close the GCB without synchronizing.
NOTE:
If the group of gen-sets is activated and multiple gen-sets have to start simultaneously and connect to
the empty bus bar, there is an internal logic to prevent closing of more GCBs to the bus bar at the
same moment without synchronizing. One of the gen-sets will close the GCB, the others will wait and
then they will synchronize to the first one.

NOTE:
There also is a protection of “Bus power loss sensing”. The “Bus Measure Error” is detected in MINT
application when the voltage on the controller’s bus terminals is out of limits 20 seconds after:
a) GCB (own) was closed in MAN or AUT mode
b) MCB (feedback) was closed in AUT mode
c) Any other GCB in power management group (on CAN bus) was closed.
The alarm is activated after 20s. However, the GCB (own) closing is blocked immediately for safety
reasons.
This protection can avoid e.g. potential direct closing of GCB while the controller’s bus conductors are
unintentionally unplugged from the terminals.

6.6.2 Synchronizing
SPtM: If the MCB is closed, the bus bar is considered to have identical voltage as measured on the
mains. If the mains voltage/frequency is within limits, the gen-set is first synchronized with the mains
and then the GCB is closed.
MINT: If the measured bus voltage is within limits, the gen-set is first synchronized with the bus and
then the GCB is closed.
The synchronizing consists of voltage matching and frequency/angle matching. The maximum
duration of synchronizing is given by the setpoint Sync Timeout. If the synchronizing is not successful
within this period of time, the Sync Timeout alarm will be issued.
NOTE:
The synchronization will be interrupted automatically if any of the necessary conditions disappear
during the synchronization process.

When the controller starts to synchronize (the event will change to “Synchro”) and the Main Measuring
screen is displayed, it will be automatically change to the Synchroscope screen for the entire duration
of synchronization. After synchronization the Synchroscope screen is automatically changed back to
the Main Measuring screen.

NT
InteliCompact , SW version 2.1
InteliCompact-NT-2.1-Reference Guide.pdf, ©ComAp – May 2015 97
NOTE:
It is also possible to change screens manually (arrows Up and Down) after displaying the
Synchroscope screen. In this case there is no automatic return to the Main Measuring screen after
synchronization is finished.

6.6.2.1 Voltage matching


The gen-set voltage is regulated to match the mains/bus voltage with tolerance given by the setpoint
Voltage Window. The regulation is adjusted by the setpoints Voltage Gain and Voltage Int.

6.6.2.2 Frequency/angle matching


The gen-set frequency is regulated to match the mains/bus frequency first. The frequency regulation
loop is active (setpoints Freq Gain and Freq Int). Once the frequency is matched, the regulation loop is
switched to match the angle (setpoint Angle Gain). When the angle is matched with tolerance +/-
Phase Window for a time given by the setpoint Dwell Time and the voltage is matched too, then the
GCB is closed.
NOTE:
The GCB close command will be not issued if the Phase Window setpoint is set to 0. Synchronizing
will continue until the Sync Timeout alarm occurs or the GCB is closed externally.

NOTE:
The matching loops will continue to run even if the GCB close command has been already issued until
the controller receives GCB feedback or a GCB fail alarm occurs. After the feedback has been
received, the control loops are switched to load and power factor loops or load and power factor
sharing respectively.

6.7 Parallel to mains operation – SPtM


SPtM only
After the gen-set has been synchronized to the mains, the parallel to mains operation follows. It
consists of the following phases:

6.7.1 Ramping the power up


The first phase of the PTM operation is ramping the gen-set up to the requested power level. The
speed of the ramp is given by the setpoint Load Ramp. The setpoint adjusts the ramp time for a
change from 0% to 100% of nominal power.

6.7.2 Load control


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

6.7.3 Power factor control


The power factor is regulated to a constant value given by the setpoint Base PF. PF regulation loop is
active. Regulation adjustment setpoints are available in the Volt/PF control group.

NT
InteliCompact , SW version 2.1
InteliCompact-NT-2.1-Reference Guide.pdf, ©ComAp – May 2015 98
6.7.4 Object load dependent auto start
The gen-set can start and stop automatically according to the object load. To enable this function, the
setpoint PeakAutS/S del must not be set to 0 (OFF). An automatic start will occur if the object exceeds
the limit given by the setpoint PeakLevelStart and remains exceeded for a period longer than
PeakAutS/S del. If the object load drops below PeakLevelStop, the gen-set will be stopped with the
same delay as during start. The gen-set load is controlled according to the selected mode (see
above).
NOTE:
The gen-set will continue to run if the binary input Rem Start/Stop is active.

6.7.5 Ramping the power down


When a stop command is received – e.g. the binary input Sys Start/Stop is deactivated or the STOP
button is pressed – the gen-set load is ramped down before opening the GCB. The ramp speed is
given by the setpoint Load Ramp, the end level is given by GCB Open Level and the timeout for
finishing the ramping without reaching the open level is given by GCB open Del.
When the GCB button is pressed, the gen-set load is ramped down before opening the GCB as well.
But after the GCB has been opened, the gen-set remains running until a stop command comes or the
GCB is pressed again to reclose the GCB.
Continue to the cool down and stop phase.

6.7.6 Peak load shaving


The gen-set can start and stop automatically according to the object load. An automatic start will occur
if the object load exceeds a given upper limit (PeakLevelStart) and remains exceeded for a given
period of time (PeakAutS/S Del). If the object load drops below a given lower limit (PeakLevelStop),
the gen-set will be stopped with the same delay period experienced during start.

NOTE:
For this function it is necessary to use the IC-NT-CT-BIO7 extension module for measurement of
Mains 1Ph current. The Im/EF CT Ratio parameter must be set up according to the current measuring
transformer and the Im/EF input parameter must be set to Mains.

6.7.7 Export Limit


If Export Limit function is enabled, the value of power which is covered by mains is given by value of
setpoint Export kW. E.g. if 100 kW has to be covered always by mains the Export kW parameter is set
to -100 kW. The rest, all peaks, are then covered by gen-set or by group of gen-sets.

NT
InteliCompact , SW version 2.1
InteliCompact-NT-2.1-Reference Guide.pdf, ©ComAp – May 2015 99
NOTE:
If the Export kW setpoint is negative, it actually means import. This function can be used to protect the
system from unwanted export. You may set maximum export value or you can set it negative to keep
some import even in cases that there are abrupt load changes.

6.8 Parallel to mains operation – MINT
MINT only
If the MCB is closed (MCB feedback is present) and the gen-set has been synchronized to the bus
bar, the parallel to mains operation will follow. It consists of the following phases:

6.8.1 Ramping the power up


The first phase of the PTM operation is the ramping of the gen-set up to the desired power level
derived from the system baseload or up to the load given by load sharing with other gen-sets
connected to the bus bar. The speed of the ramp is given by the setpoint Load Ramp. The setpoint
adjusts the ramp time for a change from 0% to 100% of nominal power.

6.8.2 Load control modes


There are two load control modes – system baseload and load sharing – which are selected by the
setpoint #SysLdCtrl PtM. See the setpoint description for more information. If system baseload mode
is selected, the Load regulation loop is active to maintain the load at the requested level which is
derived from the system baseload. Each running gen-set takes a relatively equal part of the system
baseload.
In load sharing mode, the loop LS (load sharing) is active to maintain the load at the same relative
level as the other loaded gen-sets in the group. The behaviour in this case is identical to multiple
island mode.
NOTE:
The process of determining which gen-sets shall run is described in the power management chapter.

6.8.3 Power factor control


In system baseload mode the power factor is regulated to a constant value given by the setpoint
#SysPwrFactor. The PF regulation loop is active. In load sharing mode, also power factor sharing is
active to keep the power factor of all loaded gen-sets at an equal level. Regulation adjustment
setpoints are available in the Volt/PF control group.

6.8.4 Ramping the power down


When a stop command is received – e.g. power management or binary input Sys Start/Stop is
deactivated or the STOP button is pressed – the gen-set load is ramped down before opening the
GCB. The ramp speed is given by the setpoint Load Ramp, the end level is given by GCB Open Level
and the timeout for finishing the ramping without reaching the open level is given by GCB Open Del.
When the GCB button is pressed, the gen-set load is ramped down before opening the GCB as well.
But after the GCB has been opened, the gen-set remains running until a stop command comes or the
GCB is pressed again to reclose the GCB.
Continue to the cool down and stop phase.

6.9 Island operation – SPtM


SPtM only
A situation where the MCB is open and the load is supplied from the gen-set is called Island operation.
This situation will occur in the following cases:

1. The GCB has been closed to a dead bus bar, or


2. The gen-set was running parallel to the mains and the MCB has been opened.

NT
InteliCompact , SW version 2.1
InteliCompact-NT-2.1-Reference Guide.pdf, ©ComAp – May 2015 102
Neither voltage nor a frequency regulation loop is active. Keeping voltage and frequency at rated
values is the task of AVR and the governor.
When a stop command is received – e.g. the binary input Sys Start/Stop is deactivated or the STOP
button is pressed – the GCB will be opened and the gen-set will go to cool down phase.
NOTE:
When using the GCB button in MAN mode, the gen-set will not go to cool down and stop.

6.9.1 Island to PtM transfers


SPtM only
If the mains are OK, the gen-set can be transferred back to the parallel to mains operation. The
transfer can be done as no-break transfer (Reverse synchronizing) or break transfer (Changeover).
Which of these kinds will be performed depends on the binary input RevSyncDisable.
In AUT mode or TEST mode with automatic return, the reverse synchronizing or changeover is started
automatically after the mains have been restored and remain healthy for a period given by the setpoint
MainsReturnDel. Reverse synchronizing can be started manually by pressing MCB button in MAN
mode.

6.9.1.1 Reverse synchronizing


The reverse synchronizing process is identical to Forward synchronizing, but MCB is closed instead of
GCB. In the event that the reverse synchronizing is not successful, RevSyncTimeout alarm is issued
and the gen-set continues in island operation. After the alarm has been reset, the gen-set can try to
perform reverse synchronizing again.

6.9.1.2 Changeover
The changeover is performed if the reverse synchronizing is disabled with the RevSyncDisable binary
input.
The GCB is opened first and after a time period of Transfer Del the MCB is closed.

6.10 Island operation – MINT


MINT only
This chapter describes the situation where multiple gen-sets are running parallel to each other but not
with mains. This situation will occur either when:

1. The common bus bar is dead due to opened MCB or there are no mains at all and the group
of gen-sets has been activated, or
2. The group was running parallel to mains and the MCB has been opened.

NOTE:
The controller in MINT application does not control the MCB! Only the MCB position is evaluated from
the binary input MCB Feedback and the position is the basic source of information for switching
between island and parallel to mains operation.

If the bus bar is empty, the first gen-set will close its GCB without synchronizing. Following gen-sets
will synchronize to the already energized bus bar. In the event that multiple gen-sets start
simultaneously and the bus bar is empty, the system will prevent closing of multiple GCBs to the bus
bar without synchronizing. Instead of this, one of the gen-sets will close the GCB and energize the bus
bar and the others will wait and then synchronize to the bus bar.
When a stop command is received, e.g. from the power management or binary input Sys Start/Stop is
deactivated or the STOP button is pressed, the GCB will be opened and the gen-set will go to cool
down phase.

NT
InteliCompact , SW version 2.1
InteliCompact-NT-2.1-Reference Guide.pdf, ©ComAp – May 2015 103
NOTE:
Using the GCB button in MAN mode the gen-set will not go to cool down and stop.

Continue to the cool down and stop phase.

6.11 Power management


MINT only
The power management is related to MINT application only. Power management is the process of
automatic starts and stops of gen-sets within the group, depending on current load, state of the gen-
sets and other conditions.

6.11.1 The concept


The power management is based on the load of the gen-sets, i.e. next gen-set will start when the load
of the group raises above certain level. A next gen-set will stop, when the load drops down below a
certain level. The process of determining of starts and stops is done in each controller; there is no
"master" in the system. Each of the controllers can be switched off without influencing the complete
system (except the situation when the respective gen-set will be not available...)
The load of the group is evaluated as so called reserve. The reserve is calculated as difference
between actual and nominal load of running gen-sets. The reserve can be calculated as absolute (in
kW) or relative (in %). Use the setpoint #PowerMgmt Mode to set the calculation method.
NOTE:
Power management based on relative reserves perfectly fits for applications, where the load portions
connected to the group at once are much lower than the gen-set capacity. This mode helps to achieve
maximal lifetime of the gen-sets, as they can be operated within optimal load range. The maximal
size of the load connected at once depends on number of actually working gen-sets. The more
gen-sets are connected to the busbar, the bigger a load portion can be connected at once.

Power management based on absolute reserves can be successfully used also for cases where the
load portions are similar to the gen-set capacity or even bigger. The goal of the absolute reserve mode
is that the system provides always the same reserve power capacity independent of how many
gen-sets are currently running and this why this mode perfectly fits for industrial plants with large
loads.

There is a new way of power management implemented (Efficient mode; LDS) since version IC-NT
2.0. Basic principles and functions are explained in the chapter below.

CAUTION!
The function of the controller is designed to handle the maximum sum of nominal power at 32000kW
(3200.0kW, depending on the power format in the controller). If the sum of nominal power of all gen-
sets connected to the intercontroller CAN exceeds these values the power format needs to be
changed accordingly.

Example: There are 20 gen-sets each with 1000kW of nominal power. The sum of the nominal power
is 20000kW. Therefore the decimal power format in 0.1kW cannot be used because the sum exceeds
32767. Therefore power format in kW needs to be chosen.

6.11.2 Basics

 The setpoint Pwr Management enables and disables the gen-set to be active within the power
management of the group and make automatic load demand start/stop or swap. If the power

NT
InteliCompact , SW version 2.1
InteliCompact-NT-2.1-Reference Guide.pdf, ©ComAp – May 2015 104
management is disabled, the gen-set will run or not depending only on the binary input Sys
Start/Stop and the start and stop will not depend on the load of the group.
 The binary input Sys Start/Stop activates and deactivates the gen-set. If the input is not active,
the gen-set will stop with delay #SysAMFstopDel after the input has been deactivated and will
not start again. It can be started in MAN mode only. When the input is activated again, the
delay #SysAMFstrtDel will start to count down and after that the gen-set is activated and can
start due to power management.

NOTE:
The gen-set will take part of the power management (= will be active) only if the controller is in AUT
mode!

NOTE:
The gen-set performs load and VAR sharing whenever it is connected to the busbar i.e. it is
independent on whether the controller is in AUT or MAN mode or whether the power management is
active or not.

6.11.3 Reserves, minimal running power


∑ 𝑷𝒂𝒄𝒕
 The value 𝟏𝟎𝟎 ∙ (𝟏 − ∑ ) [%] is called relative reserve. It is the difference between the
𝑷𝒏𝒐𝒎
actual relative load and 100%.
 The value ∑ 𝑷𝒏𝒐𝒎 − ∑ 𝑷𝒂𝒄𝒕 [kW] is called absolute reserve. It is the difference between the
actual load of the group and the nominal capacity of currently loaded gen-sets.

Running ActPwr = the sum of the actual load of all active gen-sets within the group, that
∑ 𝑃𝑎𝑐𝑡 are connected to the bus. In parallel to mains operation and baseload mode the
baseload level is used in the equation instead of the actual gen-sets load.

Running NomPwr = the sum of the nominal power of all active gen-sets within the
∑ 𝑃𝑛𝑜𝑚
group, that are connected to the bus.

 If the current system reserve drops below the adjusted reserve for start, the delay
#NextStrt Del will start to count down on the gen-sets, which have decided to start. If the
reserve remains under the limit for the entire countdown period, the gen-set(s) will start.
 If the system reserve drops below zero (i.e. the system is overloaded), the delay
#OverldNext Del will start to count down on the gen-sets, which have decided to start. If the
reserve remains under the limit for the whole countdown period, the gen-set(s) will start.
 If the system reserve goes above over the adjusted reserve for stop, the delay
#NextStopDel will start to count down on the gen-sets, which have decided to stop. If the
reserve still remains over the limit, the gen-sets will stop.
 There are two pairs of setpoints for adjusting reserves for start and stop. Normally the pair
#LoadResStrt 1 and #LoadResStop 1 is active. By the binary input Load Reserve 2 the
second pair #LoadResStrt 2 and #LoadResStop 2 is activated.
 With adjusting nonzero value to the setpoint #Min Run Power and activating the function by
binary input Min Run Power => based on the nominal power, the gen-sets needed for
equalizing the actual MinRunPower requirement are started (or kept running even if stop
reserve is fulfilled). Note, that LBI’s Min Run Power needs to be activated on all gen-sets in
the same time.

6.11.4 Priorities

 The priority of the gen-set within the group is determined by the setpoint Priority. A lower
number represents “higher” priority, i.e. a gen-set with a lower number will start before another
one with higher number.

NT
InteliCompact , SW version 2.1
InteliCompact-NT-2.1-Reference Guide.pdf, ©ComAp – May 2015 105
 For Load Demand Star/Stop regime:
- If the binary input Top Priority is active, the gen-set gets highest priority (0)
independent of the setpoint setting.
- If more than one gen-set have the same priority, they will act as “one big” gen-set.
 For Load Demand Swap regime and Run Hour Equalisation:
- Priorities are managen automatically by the controller and value written in the setpoint
is ignored
- Binary input Top Priority has no function

6.11.5 Load Demand Start/Stop

 The controller will decide to start the gen-set at the moment when the reserve has dropped
below the reserve for start and the gen-sets with higher priorities (lower priority numbers), that
are available for power management, do not have enough capacity to get the reserve back
over the start level or cannot fulfil the adjusted minimal running power
 The controller will decide to stop the gen-set at the moment when the reserve has increased
over the reserve for stop and the gen-sets with higher priorities (lower priority numbers), that
are available for power management, have enough capacity to keep the reserve over the start
level and also can fulfil the adjusted minimal running power

NOTE:
When evaluating the stop condition, the controller computes actual reserve without taking in account
its own nominal power, i.e. it evaluates how the reserve will be if the respective gen-set stops.

POWER MANAGEMENT WITH RELATIVE RESERVES

6.11.6 Reaction to alarms

 If a Shutdown or BOC alarm occurs, the gen-set will be taken out from the power
management and the next gen-set will start if necessary.
 If a Slow stop alarm occurs, the gen-set will be taken out from the power management, but the
alarm will be suppressed for a definite period of time to give the next gen-set chance to start
and connect to the bus to get the reserve back over the start level. The alarm is suppressed
until the reserve gets back over the start level (this can occur either because the next gen-set
has connected to the bus or the load has decreased) or the timeout given by the setpoint
#SlowStopDel has elapsed. The alarm will not be suppressed if there is no other available
gen-set that can start.

6.11.9 Load Demand Swap


There is a new way of power management implemented (Efficient mode; LDS) since version IC-NT
2.0. Basic principles and functions are explained in the chapter below.

CAUTION!
NT
MainsCompact is not supported for use with IC-NT 2.0+ firmware. Please use IC-NT 1.4.5 instead.

Principles of the Load Demand Swap (#PriorAutoSwap = EFFICENT)

To evaluate, which gen-set will start as next, two situations need to be distinguished:

1) First start (activation of Sys Start/Stop binary input)


2) Already running group of gen-sets

Add1) master controller (the one with the lowest CAN address) makes the calculation and sorts all
the gen-sets in the group based on their nominal power and running hours from the biggest to
smallest. Gen-set which fulfils following formula will be selected:

Pnom < #LoadResStrt 1

Where Pnom is the nominal power of the selected gen-set

If two gen-sets with the same nominal power are available, the one with least amount of run hours is
started.

Add2)

a) Master controller on the fly sorts available gen-sets based on their nominal power from the
biggest to smallest
b) If two or more gen-sets with the same nominal power are available, least amount of run hours is
preferred (lower run hours = higher priority)
c) Selection of which gen-set has to start next is from the bottom of the list to the top (small gen-
set starts first) following formula:

Pnom > Load demand + #LoadResStrt 1

Where Pnom is the nominal power of selected gen-set

d) If load demand is higher than nominal power of the biggest gen-set, this one is fixed and the
whole process repeats from c).
e) For gen-sets with the same nominal power also run hour equalization will be performed.

6.11.13 Related setpoints and values


Related setpoints and values are collected to the Power management setpoint, namely the values
group.

6.12 AMF function


SPtM only
The “AMF function” represents the automatic start in the event that the mains have failed and stop
after the mains have been restored. The automatic start can be enabled or disabled by the setpoint
AMFStartEnable.
NOTE:
The AMF function works only in AUT mode!

6.12.1 Mains failure detection


The mains are considered as faulty when one or more of the following conditions are valid:

 The mains voltage is out of the limits given by the setpoints Mains >V and Mains <V for a time
period longer than Mains V Del.
 The mains frequency is out of the limits given by the setpoints Mains >Freq and Mains <Freq
for a time period longer than Mains Freq Del.
 The Vector shift protection occurs.
 The MCB close command was not successful and the alarm MCB fail still was not reset.
 The binary input Ext MF Relay is active.

6.12.1.1 Vector shift


If a mains failure occurs during parallel to mains operation, in most cases it causes a fast change of
the generator load. This change can be measured as a jump of the vector of the generator voltage and
evaluated as a symptom of mains failure. The vector shift limit for evaluation of a mains failure is
adjustable by the setpoint VectorShiftLim.

NT
InteliCompact , SW version 2.1
InteliCompact-NT-2.1-Reference Guide.pdf, ©ComAp – May 2015 111
NOTE:
Vector shift is evaluated only while the gen-set is working parallel to the mains.

If vector shift protection is activated mains circuit breaker is opened.

6.12.2 Healthy mains detection


The mains are considered to be healthy when all of following conditions are valid:

 The mains voltage is within the limits given by the setpoints Mains >V and Mains <V.
 The mains frequency is within the limits given by the setpoints Mains >Freq and Mains <Freq.
 The alarm MCB fail is not active.
 The binary input Ext MF Relay is not active.

NOTE:
There is a hysteresis for Mains under and over voltage added in the same way as in the InteliLiteNT
family.

6.12.3 The AMF procedure


When the mains failure is detected, the following steps are performed:

1. If the setpoint MCB Opens On is set to MAINSFAIL, the MCB is opened


2. The timer for automatic start of the gen-set EmergStart Del begins to count down.
3. After the timer has elapsed, the gen-set is started.
NOTE:
The automatic start of the gen-set due to AMF function can be disabled by the input
MainsFailBlock. If the gen-set is already running and the input is activated, the gen-set will
cool down and stop. The control of breakers is not affected by this input.

4. If the setpoint MCB Opens On is set to GENRUN, the MCB is opened once the generator
voltage is within limits.
5. If the mains are restored to health and the gen-set is still not connected to the load, the
controller interrupts the startup process and closes back the MCB.
6. The GCB is closed and the gen-set begins to supply the load.
7. After the mains are restored to normal, the timer MainsReturnDel begins to count down and
when finished, either reverse synchronizing or switchover is performed. This depends on the
binary input RevSyncDisable. If active, switchover is performed instead of reverse
synchronizing.
8. Maximum time between closing of GCB and opening MCB is given by the setpoint
BreakerOverlap.
9. If no demand for parallel operation is active (binary input Rem Start/Stop), the GCB is opened
and the gen-set cools down and a stop follows.
NOTE:
For a description of how to make a test of AMF function, see the chapter operating modes, TEST
mode paragraph.

6.13 Engine cool down and stop


The cool down phase follows after the stop command has been issued and the GCB has been
opened.

 Duration of the cool down phase is determined by the setpoint Cooling Time.

NT
InteliCompact , SW version 2.1
InteliCompact-NT-2.1-Reference Guide.pdf, ©ComAp – May 2015 112
 Cooling is performed either at nominal speed (generator voltage and frequency protections
are evaluated) or at idle speed (generator voltage and frequency protections are not
evaluated). Selection of the speed is done by the setpoint Cooling Speed.
 The cool down can be finished manually in MAN mode by pressing the STOP button.
 If a new start request comes, the cool down will be interrupted and the gen-set will go back to
the stabilization phase. If the cooling was at nominal speed, the stabilization timers will not
count down again so the GCB is immediately ready to be closed.

When the cool down is finished, the output Fuel Solenoid is de-energized and Stop Solenoid is
energized. The engine will stop within the time period determined by the setpoint Stop Time. If the
engine does not stop within this time, the alarm Stop fail will be issued.
The output Stop Solenoid is energized until the engine is stopped, but at least for the duration of Stop
Time. If the Stop time has elapsed and the engine has still not stopped, the stop solenoid is de-
energized for 5 s and then energized again for max. Stop time and this repeats until the engine is
stopped.
The output Ignition is continuously energized until the engine is stopped.

6.13.1 Stopped gen-set evaluation


The gen-set is considered as stopped when all of following conditions are valid:

 The engine speed is lower than 2 revs (RPM).


 The generator voltage in all phases is lower than 50 V.
 None of additional running indication signals is active. See the chapter Speed sensing for
details.

6.14 Alarm management


The controller evaluates two levels of alarms. Level 1 – yellow alarm – is a pre-critical alarm that is
only informative and does not take any action regarding gen-set control. Level 2 – red alarm –
represents a critical situation, where an action must be taken to prevent damage of the gen-set or
technology.

 One alarm of any type can be assigned to each binary input


 Two alarms (one yellow and one red type) can be assigned to each analog input
 There are also built-in alarms with fixed alarm types.
 Each alarm is written to the Alarmlist.
 Each alarm causes a record to be written into the history log.
 Each alarm activates the Alarm and Horn output.
 Each alarm can cause sending of a SMS message or an e-mail.

ANALOG INPUT ALARM EVALUATION PRINCIPLE

6.14.1 Alarm handling


 There are two different alarm categories regarding the period when the alarms are evaluated.
The category is selectable for alarms assigned to binary/analog inputs and fixed for built-in
alarms. The categories are the following:
1) The alarm is evaluated all the time when the controller is switched on.
2) The alarm is evaluated only when the engine is running. This type should be used
for e.g. oil pressure. These alarms begin to be evaluated after the engine has been
started with the delay given by the setpoint ProtectHoldOff.
3) The alarm is evaluated only when the generator is excited. These alarms begin to be
evaluated after the engine has been started and Max Stab Time has elapsed or the
GCB has been closed. They remain evaluated until cooling has finished. Only
Generator under/overvoltage, Generator voltage unbalance and Generator
under/overfrequency belong to this category. This category is not configurable to
binary and analog input alarms.
 If an alarm is being evaluated and the appropriate alarm condition is fulfilled, the delay of
evaluation will start to run. The delay is adjustable by a setpoint (in the case of built-in alarms,
analog input alarms) or is fixed to 500ms (in the case of binary input alarms). If the conditions
persist, the alarm will activate. The alarm will not activate if the condition is dismissed while
the delay is still running.
 After pressing the Fault reset button or activating the binary input FaultResButton, all active
alarms change to confirmed state. Confirmed alarms will disappear from the Alarmlist as soon
as the respective condition dismisses. If the condition is dismissed before acknowledging the
alarm, the alarm will remain in the Alarmlist as Inactive. See also the Browsing alarms
chapter.
NOTE:
The input Sd Override can be used for temporary disabling of red alarms to shutdown the engine. This
input may be used in situations where providing the power is extremely important – e.g. if the gen-set
drives pumps for fire extinguishers (sprinklers).

6.14.2 Alarm states


An alarm can have following states:

NT
InteliCompact , SW version 2.1
InteliCompact-NT-2.1-Reference Guide.pdf, ©ComAp – May 2015 114
 Active alarm: the alarm condition persists, alarm delay has elapsed.
 Inactive alarm: the alarm condition has disappeared, but the alarm has not been confirmed.
 Confirmed alarm: the alarm condition persists, but the alarm has already been confirmed.

6.14.3 Alarm types – Yellow level


The yellow alarm indicates that a value or parameter is out of normal limits, but has still not reached
critical level. Obviously it is indicated by a yellow colour. This alarm does not cause any actions
regarding the gen-set control.

6.14.3.1 Warning (WRN)


The Warning alarm does not perform any actions regarding gen-set control.

6.14.4 Alarm types – Red level


The red level alarm indicates that a critical level of the respective value or parameter has been
reached. Obviously it is indicated by red colour. The controller will take one of the following actions:

6.14.4.1 Breaker open and cool down (BOC)


The BOC (electric trip) alarm category is used above all for built-in alarms assigned to the generator
electric values (voltage, current, power, etc.). The GCB is opened immediately, but after that the
engine will perform the standard stop procedure including cooling.

6.14.4.2 Slow stop (STP)


The Slow stop alarm differs from the BOC in that the gen-set will perform a soft unload before opening
the GCB (if possible). After that the standard stop procedure including cooling follows.

NOTE:
In the MINT application if the power management is active and a slow stop alarm occurs, the controller
will wait until another gen-set is started (if there is at least one available) before unloading and
stopping the gen-set. The maximum time the controller will wait is given by the setpoint #SlowStopDel.

6.14.4.3 Shutdown (SD)


The Shutdown alarm opens the GCB immediately and stops the engine immediately without cooling.
NOTE:
It is not possible to start the engine if any red level protection is active or not confirmed.

CAUTION!
The gen-set can start by itself after acknowledging the alarms if there is no longer an active red alarm
and the controller is in AUT or TEST mode!

6.14.5 Sensor fail detection (FLS)


If the measured resistance (or voltage or current in case of IGS-PTM module) on an analog input
exceeds the valid range, a sensor fail will be detected and a sensor fail message will appear in the
Alarmlist. The valid range is defined by the most-left (RL) and most-right (RH) points of the sensor
characteristic ±12.5% from RH-RL.

6.14.6 Remote alarm messaging


If a GSM modem and/or Internet Bridge are connected to the controller, the controller can send SMS
messages and/or emails at the moment when a new alarm appears in the Alarmlist. The message will
contain a copy of the Alarmlist.
To enable this function, you should select with setpoints Yel Alarm Msg and Red Alarm Msg the levels
of alarms to be announced (red/yellow/both) and also enter a valid GSM phone number and/or e-mail
address to the setpoints TelNo/Addr Ch1 and TelNo/Addr Ch2. It is possible to set either a GSM
number or e-mail at both setpoints.
The list of all supported terminals shows the table below:

Active alarm Active event Active alarm Active event


Terminal
sms sms email email
IB-Lite NA NA yes yes
IB-NT yes yes yes yes*
Not Not
IL-NT-GPRS yes yes
supported supported
*since IB-NT 2.2.0

Controller is capable to detect which communication terminal is connected to the network and send
the email/SMS via the active one. InternetBridge-NT is preferred terminal if more possibilities are
detected.

NT
InteliCompact , SW version 2.1
InteliCompact-NT-2.1-Reference Guide.pdf, ©ComAp – May 2015 116
NOTE:
An internet module must be available for sending e-mails and a GSM modem is necessary for sending
SMS. See the Communications chapter for more information.

6.14.7 Alarmlist
Alarmlist is a container of active and inactive alarms. It will appear automatically on the controller
display, if a new alarm occurs, or can be displayed manually from the display menu

 It can contain up to 16 alarms, but the first 7 are visible on the screen. If it is full, recently
coming alarms are not displayed.
 Active alarms are shown as inverted, not yet confirmed alarms are marked with asterisk
before them.
 An alarm message in the alarmlist begins with a prefix, which represents the alarm type
(e.g. WRN). Then the alarm name follows. In some cases the prefix can be omitted.

NOTE:
The Alarmlist can be read out from the controller via Modbus. See the Modbus description chapter.

6.14.8 ECU Alarmlist


The ECU Alarmlist contains alarms that are received from the ECU. The alarms are represented by
the Diagnostic Trouble Code, which contains information about the subsystem where the alarm
occurred, the alarm type and the alarm occurrence counter.
The most common fault codes are translated into text form. Other fault codes are displayed as a
numeric code and the engine fault codes list must be used to determine the reason.

NOTE:
The ECU AlarmList is visible only if an ECU is configured.

6.15 History log


The history log is an area in the controller’s non-volatile memory that records “snapshots” of the
system at moments when important events occur. The history log is important especially for
diagnostics of failures and problems. Its capacity is over 100 records and it works as FIFO, i.e. the
newest record overwrites the oldest one.
Each record has the same structure and contains:
 The event which caused the record (e.g. “Overspeed alarm” or “GCB closed”)
 The date and time when it was recorded
 All important data values like RPM, kW, voltages, etc. from the moment that the event
occurred.

NOTE:
The contents of the history log will be deleted after programming firmware or configuration into the
controller.

The history log can be displayed on the controller screen or in LiteEdit. If an archive (*.ail file) is saved
in LiteEdit, it will also contain the history log. The archive can be later opened in offline mode to view
the history log offline.

NOTE:
The first history record after the controller is switched on, programmed or a watchdog reset occurs
contains diagnostic values instead of operational values. Some fields in these records may seem to
have nonsense values. Do not take these values into account.

6.16 Exercise timers


There are two exercise timers available in the controller, which are based on the RTC clock. They are
both identical.
Each timer has the following settings (in the Date/Time setpoint group).

When this option is chosen, the Timer output is also internally connected to the
TEST
Remote TEST binary input.

TEST When this option is chosen, the Timer output is also internally connected to the Rem
OnLd TEST OnLd binary input.

The timer outputs are available as binary outputs Exerc Timer 1 and Exerc Timer 2.
NOTE:
Timers are activated even in the middle of the cycle. This means that even when the controller is
switched on after the moment when the timer should have been started and before it should have
finished, the timer is activated for the remainder of the duration period.

Timer functions can be activated only in AUT mode (not in OFF, MAN or TEST). There are 2 timers.

In the event that both Timers are active at the same time, Timer 1 has a higher priority than Timer 2.

6.17 Analog switches


One analog switch (comparator) is assigned to each analog input to the controller. The switches are
suitable for preheat control, day tank fuel pump control and others.

 Associated setpoints are located in the setpoint group Analog switches.


 One binary output is associated with each switch

The behaviour of the switch depends on the adjustment of the setpoints.

The following regulation loops are built into the controller. All of them are PI type except angle loop,
which is P type.
NOTE:
Since IC-NT SW v. 1.4.1 only the first controller (with the lowest address at the CAN has) active
voltage control loop. Other controllers are adapting voltage according to bus to the first one. All
controllers have active VAr Share regulation loop.

InteliCompact-NT-2.1-Reference Guide.pdf, ©ComAp – May 2015 124
6.19.3 Regulation control loops overview

6.19.3.1 Speed/frequency control loop


The speed/frequency control loop is active during the synchronization, when the gen-set frequency is
controlled to the same value as the mains or bus have, i.e. to achieve zero slip frequency.

6.19.3.2 Differential angle control loop


The differential angle control loop is active during the synchronization, when the “near to zero” slip
frequency has been successfully achieved and then the differential angle between generator and
mains/bus voltage shall be reduced to zero.

6.19.3.3 Power control loop


The power control loop is active during the parallel to mains operation. The recognition of parallel to
mains operation is done on the basis of the binary input MCB feedback. In MINT the setpoint
#SysLdCtrl PtM must be also set to BASELOAD.

6.19.3.4 Load sharing control loop


The load sharing control loop is active in MINT, whenever the GCB is closed and the binary input MCB
feedback is not active or the setpoint #SysLdCtrl PtM is in LDSHARING position.

6.19.3.5 Voltage control loop


The voltage control loop is active during synchronization (the generator voltage is controlled to the
same value as the mains or bus have) and during island operation in SPtM (the gen-set voltage is
controlled to the nominal voltage). During multiple island operation in MINT, the voltage control loop is
also running “in the background” of the VAr sharing loop (using P, I parameters multiplied by 0.1) to
maintain the voltage at the nominal level.
NOTE:
Since IC-NT SW v. 1.4.1 only the first controller (with the lowest address at the CAN has) active
voltage control loop. Other controllers are adapting voltage according to bus to the first one. All
controllers have active VAr Share regulation loop.

6.19.3.6 Power factor control loop


The power factor control loop is active during the parallel to mains operation. The recognition of
parallel to mains operation is done on the basis of the binary input MCB feedback.

6.19.3.7 VAr sharing control loop


The VAr sharing control loop is active during multiple island operation in MINT application.

6.19.4 PI regulation adjustment


The exact adjustment of a PI loop always depends on the engine and generator characteristics.
However, a general rule can be followed in the beginning of the adjustment process:

 Prepare the system for adjustment, i.e. set the limits for related alarms temporarily to values
which will disable the alarms, set the synchro timeout to the maximum value, etc.
 Adjust the gain to 5% and integration to 0%.
 Switch the gen-set to MAN mode, start it and put it into the operation phase, where the
appropriate regulation loop is active.
 Increase the gain slightly until the controlled quantity starts to oscillate. Then put it back to
approx. one half of the value where the oscillations started.

NT
InteliCompact , SW version 2.1
InteliCompact-NT-2.1-Reference Guide.pdf, ©ComAp – May 2015 125
 Increase the integrative factor slightly to achieve acceptable response to changes. Too small
an I-factor will cause an excessively slow response, while too high an I-factor will cause
overshooting or even oscillations.

NOTE:
It may be helpful to disable issuing the GCB close command when adjusting synchronization loops.
Adjust the setpoint Phase Window to 0 to disable it. Adjust the setpoint back to its original value after
the adjustment is finished.

CAUTION!
Be ready to press the emergency stop button in the event that the regulation loop starts to behave
unacceptably.

7 Setpoints
Setpoints are analog, binary or special data objects which are used for adjusting the controller to the
specific environment. Setpoints are organized into groups according to their meaning. Setpoints can
be adjusted from the controller front panel, PC, MODBUS, etc.

7.1 Password protection


Each setpoint can be protected by a password against unauthorized changes. Password protection
can be assigned to the setpoints during the configuration procedure. See the chapter Operator guide
for instructions on how to enter and modify a password. See also the LiteEdit help to learn about
working with a password in LiteEdit.

7.2 Setpoint synchronization


Setpoints marked with a “#” sign at the beginning 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 an identical value in each connected controller. If the setpoint is changed in one controller, the
same change will occur in all other controllers. This function is necessary especially for MINT
application, where the system of Power management is based on fact that the respective setpoints are
identical in all controllers.
All parameters marked as shared (“#”) are overwritten during archive download in case there is no
another single controller visible on the CAN bus. In case there is another controller on the CAN bus,
the shared parameters are not overwritten.

CAUTION!
Do not write setpoints repeatedly (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
5
10 times without risk of damage or data loss, but it may become damaged, when the allowed number
of writing cycles is exceeded!

8 Values
Values (or quantities) are analog or binary data objects, measured or computed by the controller, that
are intended for reading from the controller screen, PC, MODBUS, etc. Values are organized into
groups according to their meaning.
NOTE:
A complete overview of all data objects available in the controller can be exported by LiteEdit into a
text file. Open any connection (also offline with a previously saved archive) and go to the menu
Controller -> Generate CFG image.

8.1 Invalid flag


If valid data is available for a particular value, the invalid flag is set to it. This situation may be due to
the following:

 The value is not being evaluated in the scope of the current application and configuration.
 Sensor fail has been detected on an analog input.
 The configured ECU or extension module does not provide the particular value.
 The communication with the ECU or extension module is interrupted.

A value containing the invalid flag is displayed as “####” in LiteEdit and on the controller screen. If
such a value is read out via Modbus, it will contain the data 32768 in the case of signed values and
65535 in the case of unsigned values.

11 Communication
For details about communication with extension modules and EFI equipped engines, see the
appropriate chapters in this manual.
More detailed information about all topics regarding communications is available in the document Inteli
Communication Guide, which is regularly updated and can be downloaded from the website
www.comap.cz.

11.1 Direct cable connection


An external communication module is necessary to enable direct cable connection to a PC. The
module is plugged into the slot located on the rear side of the controller. Find more information about
installation of the modules in a separate chapter.
A RS232, USB or RS485 interface can be used for direct cable connection to a PC. The setpoint
COM1 Mode or COM2 Mode (according to the interface used) must be set to DIRECT position for this
kind of connection.

MODEM CONNECTION TYPES


The following modules can be used for a modem connection to a PC:

1. IL-NT RS232
2. IL-NT RS232-485

The RS232 interface uses COM1 port of the controller.


If you have trouble with modem communication, an additional initialization string may be required. This
may be due to, for example, a national telephone network-specific feature. Use the setpoint
ModemIniString to add the necessary AT commands which will be sent to the modem during the
initialization. See the documentation of the modem for details.
NOTE:
Use the same kind of modem (e.g. analog, GSM or ISDN) as used on the controller also on the PC
side.

11.2.1 Recommended GSM modems

 Siemens/Cinterion M20, TC35, TC35i, ES75, MC39 (baud rate 9600 bps)
 Wavecom M1200/WMOD2 (baud rate 9600 bps)
 Wavecom Maestro 20
 Wavecom Fastrack M1306B (Fastrack M1206B is not recommended)
 Falcom A2D

11.2.2 Modem setup procedure
Analog modems obviously do not require any setup. The only case in which setup could be necessary
is if the modem has been bought in a country with a telephony system different than the target country
where the modem will be used.
GSM modems need to be set up prior to using them with the controller. Use the gm_setup program
(installed together with LiteEdit) to perform initial setup of the modem. See the latest Inteli
Communication Guide (available on the ComAp web site) for details. The setup must be done while a
SIM card is inserted.
NOTE:
It is always recommended to use modems bought in and approved for the target country.

11.3 Internet connection


A PC can be connected to the controller also remotely via Ethernet (internet, intranet). An appropriate
Ethernet communication module must be used.

11.3.1 SPtM
Use a plug-in communication module IB-Lite or IL-NT-GPRS to connect to the IC-NT SPtM controller
via the internet. The setpoint COM1 Mode must be set to the DIRECT position.

11.3.3 Using a web browser
The IB-Lite module with firmware version 1.1 and above makes it possible to use any web browser for
basic monitoring and adjustment of the controller. Direct your web browser to the IP address of the
module, e.g. http://192.168.1.254 and then enter the access code.

11.3.4 IB-Lite setup procedure


NOTE:
Setting the module up requires a certain familiarity with network administration. Ask your IT specialist
for assistance.

The default settings of the module are IP = 192.168.1.254, Netmask = 255.255.255.0 and
Gateway = 192.168.1.1. The default password for service webpages is “comap” (or “0”).
To restore the default settings, close the “restore default setting” jumper located on the module before
switching the controller on and remove it few seconds after the controller has been switched on.
NOTE:
The default settings can be changed directly from the controller panel by pressing the “Page” button
and using ▼, ▲ and “Enter” to get to the “Comms Settings” menu (THIS APPLIES TO FIRMWARE VERSIONS
1.3 AND HIGHER).

11.3.4.1 Configuration

1. Plug the module into the controller and power the controller on.
2. Connect the module into your Ethernet network. If the default address does not match local
network parameters (i.e. the network segment does not use the IP range 192.168.1.xxx or the
IP 192.168.1.254 is occupied), connect the module directly to your PC using a cross-wired
cable. See details in the Installation chapter.
3. If you are connected directly, you have to change temporarily the IP address and subnet mask
of your PC Ethernet connection. Use the following settings: DHCP disabled, IP from the range
192.168.1.1 – 192.168.1.253 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0. After the IB-Lite setup is
finished, restore your PC setting back to the original values.
4. Start a web browser and direct it to http://192.168.1.254/sp_config.htm.
5. After a successful login the configuration page will be displayed.
6. It is recommended to change the user name and password and keep the new values
confidential.
7. Consult your IT specialist for proper IP settings.
8. Consult your e-mail provider for proper e-mail settings. Note that also most public SMTP
servers require authentication and e-mails must be sent from an existing address.
9. If you want to enable access only for clients with a specified IP address, tick the checkbox
“Trusted clients” and fill-in the allowed IP addresses.

NOTE:
See also the latest LiteEdit Reference Guide (available on the ComAp web site) for more information
about IB-Lite setup.

11.3.4.2 Firmware upgrade

1. Follow steps 1–3 of the configuration procedure above.


2. Start a web browser and direct it to http://192.168.1.254/sp_fw_upld.htm.
3. After a successful login the configuration page will be displayed.
4. Press the button “Browse” and select the appropriate firmware file.
5. Press “Upload new firmware” button. After the firmware upload is finished, the module will
restart.

NOTE:
Interrupting the upload will NOT cause any damage. Just repeat the upload again.

11.3.5 System integration
The controller can be integrated into a building management or similar system using an RS232,
RS485 or Ethernet interface and MODBUS protocol. The following modules can be used for this
purpose:

1. IL-NT RS232
2. IL-NT RS232-485
3. IB-Lite (Modbus/TCP)

The setpoint COM1 Mode (RS232) resp. COM2 Mode (RS485, Ethernet) must be set to the MODBUS
position. The speed of MODBUS communication for RS232 and RS485 can be adjusted by the
setpoint ModbusCommSpeed. See a more detailed description of the MODBUS protocol in a separate
chapter.
NOTE:
The controller is able to detect IB-Lite module and performs automatic configuration. Related setpoints
COM1 Mode = DIRECT; COM2 Mode = MODBUS; ModbusCommSpeed = 57600 (THIS APPLIES TO
FIRMWARE VERSIONS 2.0 AND HIGHER).

11.3.6 InternetBridge-NT setup procedure


See the latest InternetBridge-NT Reference Guide for the information on how to set up the IB-NT
module.

11.3.7 IG-IB setup procedure


See the latest InteliCommunicationGuide for the information on how to set up the IG-IB module.

11.3.8 SNMP
Support for Simple Network Management Protocol was implemented. To generate MIB table go to
LiteEdit 4.6 or higher and use “Controller” -> “Generate Cfg image” -> “Generate SNMP MIB table”.

11.3.9 AirGate

technology for easy plug-and-play wireless communication is incorporated into the product. An
ordinary SIM card with GPRS service is suitable for this system. This overcomes problems with the
necessity for a special SIM card (fixed and public IP), firewalls and difficult communication settings.

http://www.comap.cz/news-room/news-and-events/detail/The-Rainbow-rises-for-remotemonitoring-
applications/

11.3.10 Locate
The controller supports the technology for GSM localization using an IL-NT-GPRS
communication module. It is possible to view the localization in WebSupervisor.

NT
InteliCompact , SW version 2.1
InteliCompact-NT-2.1-Reference Guide.pdf, ©ComAp – May 2015 146
11.4 Modbus protocol
The Modbus protocol can be activated on the RS232 or RS485 port. The physical link parameters are:

 8 data bits
 1 stop bit
 no parity
 communication speed selectable by the setpoint ModbusComSpeed

The Modbus/TCP protocol uses the TCP/IP frames as the transport layer for Modbus frames. This
protocol is available via the IB-Lite module on port 502.
The following features from the Modbus specification are supported:

 Transfer mode RTU


 Function 3 (Read Multiple Registers)
 Function 6 (Write Single Register)
 Function 16 (Write Multiple Registers)

The response to an incoming message depends on the communication speed. The delay is not
shorter than the time needed to send/receive 3.5 characters. See the latest Inteli Communication
Guide (available on the ComAp website) for details and examples.
The complete description of the Modbus communication protocol can be found in the Modbus Protocol
Reference Guide PI-MBUS-300 and Open Modbus Specification Release 1.0. Both documents are
available on the web.
NOTE:
The complete list of available registers can be obtained from LiteEdit. Open an online connection to
the controller or open offline an archive and go to the menu Controller -> Generate Cfg image to get
the register list.

CAUTION!
Do not write setpoints repeatedly (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
5
10 times without risk of damage or data loss, but it may become damaged, when the allowed number
of writing cycles is exceeded!

11.5 IC-NT-RD Remote display software
NT
IC-NT-RD is remote display software for an InteliCompact controller. Remote display provides the
same control and monitoring functions as controller itself (except limitations given by HW differences
between remote display and controller). Remote display for IC-NT controllers uses standard IL-NT
controller platform with IC-NT Remote display software. No further programming of the display is
required – unit is self configurable from the main controller. It is connected with the controller via
IL-NT-RS232 communication modules using RS232 line. Longer distances (up to 1200m) are possible
using IL-NT-RS232-485 communication module or when RS232/RS485 converters are used.
NOTE:
In case of IL-NT-AMF25 HW only Bus under voltage LED (indicating if the bus is under voltage or
not/if the Load is supplied or not) is missing. This information is anyway given by combination of GCB
and MCB position LEDs placed on the right and left side next to the Bus under voltage LED.
The other IL-NT hardware types have other limitations according to HW variations from IC-NT HW.

HINT:
IC-NT RD SW works analogically to IL-NT RD SW. See IC-NT RD SW website to find out more
information about installation and configuration.

15 Language support
The controller contains memory slots for 2 languages. English and Chinese are provided in the default
archives. The languages can be changed in the LiteEdit software using dictionaries. There are two
types of dictionaries:

 Default dictionaries are distributed together with the controller firmware.


 Custom dictionaries are created by the user during the translation process.

The custom dictionary is used for storing translations that were made by the user because there was
no default dictionary for the particular language, the default dictionary was incomplete or the user
simply wishes to have different translations. For more information about languages and translations,
see the LiteEdit help.
It is possible to create any language using a code page supported by the controller:

 Win 1250 – Middle Europe


 Win 1251 – Eastern Europe (Cyrillic)
 Win 1252 – Western Europe, America
 Win 1254 – Turkish
 GB2312 – Chinese

NOTE:

Description 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 it. 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 issues with static/public
address in a black box and you do not need to do anything about it. You need
only a connection to the Internet. The AirGate server address is adjusted by
the setpoint AirGate IP.

16.1.7.2 Setpoint: Pwr Manag Del


Group Power Management
Range [units] 0 … 3600 [s]

Description Setpoint defines delay of the Power management. When Sys Start/Stop
signal is activated and the gen-sets should start, all the engines (where
Power Management is enabled) are started and stay running for time period
specified by this parameter. After this period elapses, only the gen-set(s)
needed according to the Power Management calculation (i.e. SystReserve
OK = 1) stay running and the rest is stopped.

Pwr management Del is useful, when you need to start gen-sets to an


unknown load. Setting for example 360s (6minutes) and activating Sys
Start/Stop will force all gen-sets to start and run for 6 minutes despite of the
power management setting.

16.1.7.5 Setpoint: #PriorAutoSwap


Group Pwr management

Range [units] DISABLED, RUN HOURS, EFFICENT

Related MINT
applications

Description This setpoint selects the method of optimization of priorities:

DISABLED Optimization is disabled. Priorities are given directly by the


values adjusted in the setpoint Priority.

RUN HOURS The priority setpoints are automatically updated (swapped)


to equalize running hours of the gen-sets or to keep
constant difference of running hours by the controller.

EFFICENT This method changes the priorities (not the setpoints itself)
to optimize which gen-sets are running according to their
capacities and actual load demand. Note that this priority
swapping function may be used only if #Pwr mgmt mode
is set to ABS (kW).
Optimal power band (number of running gen-sets) is
calculated based on the nominal power of each gen-set,
their Run Hours and requested Load reserve. For gen-sets
with the same nominal power also run hour equalization is
being performed.

NOTE:
Binary input Top Priority can be used only if #PriorAutoSwap = DISABLED

Range [units] 0 ... GCB Open Del [s]
Related All
applications
Description All changes of requested gen-set load (except in load-sharing mode) are not
made as one step, but are ramped – i.e. the requested load is changing
slowly with the rate adjusted by this setpoint.
The rate is adjusted in seconds for 100% load change (from 0 to 100% of
nominal power). So if the requested load change is 50% of nominal power,
the ramp duration will be 50% of this setpoint.
The ramp takes place in the following situations:
 The gen-set has been just synchronized and is ramping up to the
target load level (e.g. baseload in parallel to mains operation or
average gen-set load in multiple load-sharing operation)
 The gen-set is running parallel to the mains and baseload is
changed.
 The gen-set is being unloaded before opening the GCB and stop. In
this case the end load level is adjusted by the setpoint GCB Open
Level and the timeout for unloading is adjusted by the setpoint GCB
