precautions. Failure to follow instructions can cause personal injury and/or property damage.
The engine, turbine, or other type of prime mover should be equipped with an overspeed
(overtemperature, or overpressure, where applicable) shutdown unit(s), that operates totally in-
dependently of the prime mover control unit(s) to protect against runaway or damage to the en-
gine, turbine, or other type of prime mover with possible personal injury or loss of life should
the mechanical-hydraulic governor(s) or electric control(s), the actuator(s), fuel control(s), the
driving mechanism(s), the linkage(s), or the controlled unit(s) fail.
DANGER
To prevent damage to a control system that uses an alternator or battery-charging unit, make
sure the charging unit is turned off before disconnecting the battery from the system.
Electronic controls contain static-sensitive parts. Observe the following precautions to prevent
damage to these parts.
• Discharge body static before handling the control (with power to the control turned off, con-
tact a grounded surface and maintain contact while handling the control).
• Avoid all plastic, vinyl, and Styrofoam (except antistatic versions) around printed circuit
boards.
• Do not touch the components or conductors on a printed circuit board with your hands or
with conductive units.

Example:
• SPM-D2145B/PSV (PSV Package with 400 Vac PT measuring inputs and 5 A CT measuring input)
Intended Use The unit may only be operated for the uses described in this manual. The prerequisite for a proper
and safe operation of the product is correct transportation, storage, and installation as well as careful operation
and maintenance.
NOTE
This manual has been developed for an unit fitted with all available options. Inputs/outputs, functions,
configuration screens and other details described, which do not exist on your unit may be ignored.
The present manual has been prepared to enable the installation and commissioning of the unit. On
account of the large variety of parameter settings, it is not possible to cover every possible combina-
tion. The manual are therefore only a guide. In case of incorrect entries or a total loss of functions, the
default settings can be taken from the enclosed list of parameters.

Chapter 2.
Electrostatic Discharge Awareness
All electronic equipment is static-sensitive, some components more than others. To protect these components
from static damage, you must take special precautions to minimize or eliminate electrostatic discharges.
Follow these precautions when working with or near the control.
1. Before doing maintenance on the electronic control, discharge the static electricity on your body to
ground by touching and holding a grounded metal object (pipes, cabinets, equipment, etc.).
2. Avoid the build-up of static electricity on your body by not wearing clothing made of synthetic materials.
Wear cotton or cotton-blend materials as much as possible because these do not store static electric
charges as much as synthetics.
3. Keep plastic, vinyl, and Styrofoam materials (such as plastic or Styrofoam cups, cup holders, cigarette
packages, cellophane wrappers, vinyl books or folders, plastic bottles, and plastic ash trays) away from
the control, the modules, and the work area as much as possible.
4. With the opening of the unit the guarantee expires!

Do not remove the printed circuit board (PCB) from the control cabinet unless absolutely necessary. If
you have to remove the PCB from the control cabinet, follow these precautions:
• Do not touch any part of the PCB except the edges.
• Do not touch the electrical conductors, the connectors, or the components with conductive units or
with your hands.
• When replacing a PCB, keep the new PCB in the plastic antistatic protective bag it comes in until you
are ready to install it. Immediately after removing the old PCB from the control cabinet, place it in the
antistatic protective bag.
WARNING
To prevent damage to electronic components caused by improper handling, read and observe the pre-
cautions in Woodward manual 82715, Guide for Handling and Protection of Electronic Controls, Printed
Circuit Boards, and Modules.

Chapter 3.
Installation
CAUTION
A circuit breaker must be provided near to the unit and in a position easily accessible to the operator.
This must also bear a sign identifying it as an isolating switch for the unit.
NOTE
Inductivities connected (such as coils of operating current or undervoltage tripping units, or auxiliary
or power contacts) must be connected to a suitable interference suppressor.

WARNING
The analog inputs of the SPM-D are not isolated. When using an isolation monitor, we recommend to
use two-pole, isolated transmitters.
The analog inputs for active transmitters (0 to 20 mA, 0 to 10V) should only be operated with two-pole,
isolated transmitters.

Control Inputs
≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡
Release GCB • Terminal 6 = "Enable control"
Terminal 3 If this discrete input is set, the operation of the GCB is released. For tests
during commissioning, zero volt can be applied to this input. Thus, a
switching of the GCB can be prevented, even if the control functions are
enabled. If both circuit breakers are closed and the parameter "Shut-
down" is set ON, thus initiates by reset of this input, that the genset is
shut down.
• Terminal 6 = "Release Power Setpoint value"
If this discrete input is set, the operation of the GCB and the control
functions are enabled at the same time, if this input is set. If both circuit
breakers are closed and the parameter "Shutdown" is set ON, thus initi-
ates by reset of this input, that the genset is shut down.
Release MCB • Terminal 6 = "Release Control"

Terminal 53
If this input is set, the operation of the MCB is enabled. For tests during
commissioning, zero volt can be applied to this input and thus switch on
of the MCB can be prevented. although if control functions are active. If
the MCB is closed, this input has no effect.
• Terminal 6 = "Release Power Setpoint Value"
If this input is set, the operation of the MCB is enabled and controlling is
released, if all other conditions for isolated operation are fulfilled. If the
MCB is closed, this input has no effect.
Reply: The status of the GCB must be transmitted to this unit through this input.
GCB is open The input must be set if the GCB is open. (The status of this input is

Enable: Isolated With an opened GCB a dead bus start is enabled, by setting this input. With
operation/dead bus a closed GCB the frequency and voltage controllers are enabled for isolated
start GCB operation, by setting this input.
Terminal 5
CAUTION
If several generators feed one busbar, it has to be ensured with external interlocking that only one of
the generators is released for dead bus start at a time. If several generators are released for dead bus
start at the same time, it may happen that the generator circuit breakers close at the same time, which
might cause serious damage to the generators!

Enable control or Terminal 6 = "Enable control"

switching power If "terminal 6 = Enable control" is set, the frequency and voltage controllers
setpoint value are enabled, when setting this input. For tests during commissioning, zero
Terminal 6
volt can be applied to this input and thus, the control functions can be
switched off.
Terminal 6 = " Release Power Setpoint Value"
If "terminal6 = power setpoint value" is set, the setpoint value for the real
power is selected. If this input is set, setpoint value 2 is used for control or
the setpoint value of the mA-input. otherwise setpoint value 1 is used.

Operating Conditions
≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡
Idle Control
The generator voltage and generator frequency are adjusted to the configured setpoint values. The generator cir-
cuit breaker is open.
Synchronizing GCB
Synchronization With Slip

The generator voltage will be corrected to the amplitude and frequency of the busbar voltage. In consideration of
the inherent delay the connect command for the GCB will be issued. The synchronization is done under the fol-
lowing conditions (see also tables in chapter "Function" at page 22):
• The unit is in the automatic mode (LED "Automatic" lights up).

• The synchronization is switched on.
• The voltages and frequencies are within a certain range.
• The input "Enable GCB" is set (if terminal 6 = Power setpoint value).
• The input "Enable GCB" is set, to enable the connection command and the input "Enable control" is set, to
enable the control functions (if terminal 6 = Enable control).
• The input "Reply: GCB is open" is set and
• the synchronization time monitoring is not switched on or has not tripped.
Synchronization With Zero Phase Control

The generator voltage will be corrected to the amplitude of the busbar voltage by the voltage controller. The fre-
quency controller is operating in two possible stages:
• Frequency correction: - As long as the difference of the frequency between generator and busbar does not fall
below the configured value "df start", the generator is corrected to the frequency of the busbar.
• Phase angle correction: - If the frequency difference between generator and busbar is less than the value "df
start", the frequency controller adjusts the phase angle of the generator to that of the busbar, in view of turn-
ing the phase difference to zero. The control of the phase angle is stopped only, when the frequency differ-
ence between the generator and the busbar is getting greater then the value "df start" plus a firmly deposited
hysteresis of 0.8 Hz.
The connect command for the power circuit breaker is done under the following conditions:
• The configured limits for voltage and frequency are met.

• The phase angle between the systems is less then the maximum permissible angle for at least the configurable
time
• The input "Enable GCB" is set (if terminal 6 = Power setpoint value)
• The input "Enable GCB" is set, to enable the connect command and the input "Enable control" is set, to en-
able the controls (if terminal 6 = Enable control)
• The input "Reply GCB is open" is set
The connection is done without consideration of the inherent delay. In the phase-angle-zero-control mode the
analog input should be selected for the frequency controller.

Synchronizing MCB
Synchronization With Slip

The busbar voltage will be corrected to the amplitude and frequency of the mains voltage. In consideration of the
inherent delay the connect command for the MCB will be issued. The synchronization is done under the follow-
ing conditions (see also tables in chapter "Function" at page 22):
• The unit is in the automatic mode (LED "Automatic" lights up).

• The synchronization is switched on.
• The voltages and frequencies are within a certain range.
• The input "Enable MCB" is set (if terminal 6 = Power setpoint value).
• The input "Enable MCB" is set, to enable the connection command and the input "Enable control" is set, to
enable the control functions (if terminal 6 = Enable control).
• The input "Enable isolated operation/dead bus start GCB" is set to enable control functions,
• The input "Reply: GCB is open" is not set,
• The input "Reply: MCB is open" is set and
• the synchronization time monitoring is not switched on or has not tripped.
Synchronization With Zero Phase Control

The busbar voltage will be corrected to the amplitude of the mains voltage by the voltage controller. The fre-
quency controller is operating in two possible steps:
• Frequency correction: - As long as the difference of the frequency between busbar and mains does not fall be-
low the configured value "df start", the busbar is corrected to the frequency of the mains.
• Phase angle correction: - If the frequency difference between busbar and mains is less than the value "df
start", the frequency controller adjusts the phase angle of the busbar to that of the mains, in view of turning
the phase difference to zero. The control of the phase angle is stopped only, when the frequency difference
between the busbar and the mains is getting greater then the value "df start" plus a firmly deposited hysteresis
of 0.8 Hz.
The connect command for the power circuit breaker is done under the following conditions:
• The configured limits for voltage and frequency are met.

• The phase angle between the systems is less then the maximal permissible angle for at least the configurable
time
• The input "Enable MCB" is set (if terminal 6 = Power setpoint value)
• The input "Enable MCB" is set, to enable the connect command and the input "Enable control" is set, to en-
able the controls (if terminal 6 = Enable control)
• The input "Enable isolated operation/dead bus start GCB" is set to enable control functions,
• The input "Reply: GCB is open" is not set,
• The input "Reply: MCB is open" is set.
The connection is done without consideration of the inherent delay. In the phase-angle-zero-control mode the
analog input should be selected for the frequency controller.

Synch-Check GCB
In this condition, the unit can be used as a synchronization control. No control is carried out. The relay "GCB
close" remains picked up, as long as the following conditions are met:
• The configured limit for the voltage difference is met

(screen "synchronization dVmax")
• The configured limits for the frequency difference are met
(screens "synchronization dfmax and dfmin")
• The configured limit for the phase angle is met
(screen "slip synchron. phimax")
• The input "Reply: GCB is open" is set
• The parameter "Terminal 6" is configured to "Enable control",
• the terminal 6 is not set (the control is disabled),
• the input "Enable isolated operation / dead bus start GCB" is set and
• the input "Enable GCB" is set.
The synchronization time monitoring is disabled.
Synch-Check MCB
In this condition, the unit can be used as a synchronization control. No control is carried out. The relay "MCB
close" remains picked up, as long as the following conditions are met:
• The configured limit for the voltage difference is met

(screen "synchronization dVmax")
• The configured limits for the frequency difference are met
(screens "synchronization dfmax and dfmin")
• The configured limit for the phase angle is met
(screen "slip synchron. phimax")
• The input "Reply: GCB is open" is not set
• The parameter "Terminal 6" is configured to "Enable control",
• the terminal 6 is not set (the control is disabled),
• the input "Enable isolated operation / dead bus start GCB" is set and
• the input "Enable MCB" is set.
• the input "Reply: MCB is open" is set.
The synchronization time monitoring is disabled.
Isolated Operation
The generator voltage and frequency will be adjusted to the configurable setpoint values. The generator breaker
is closed. To activate the voltage controller, the parameter "voltage controller in isolated operation" must be set
to "ON". To activate the frequency controller, the parameter "frequency controller in isolated operation" must be
set to "ON". More over, isolated operation is only possible, if the discrete input "Release isolated operation /
dead bus start" is set.

Closing The GCB Without Synchronization (Dead Bus start GCB)

Output of a connect command for the GCB without synchronization if the following conditions are met:
• The unit is in the automatic mode (LED "Automatic" lights up),

• the parameter "Gen. switch black start" has been set to "ON",
• the busbar is not energized (VSS < 5 % VN),
• the generator voltage and frequency are within the configured limits,
• the input "Enable isolated operation / dead bus start GCB" is set,
• the input "Enable GCB" is set and
• the input "Reply: GCB is open" is set
• the input "Reply: MCB is open" is set.
• terminal 6 is set (if "Terminal 6 Enable Control").
If at the same time the conditions for a dead bus start MCB are fulfilled, the dead bus start MCB has priority.
Closing The MCB Without Synchronization (Dead Bus start MCB)

Output of a connect command for the MCB without synchronization if the following conditions are met:
• The unit is in the automatic mode (LED "Automatic" lights up),

• the parameter "Mains switch black start" has been set to "ON",
• the busbar is not energized (VSS < 5 % VN),
• The mains voltage deviates from the rated voltage less than three-times of the parameter "Synchronizing dV
max".
• The mains frequency deviates from the rated frequency less than four times of the parameter "Synchronizing
df max".
• the input "Enable MCB" is set,
• the input "Reply: MCB is open" is set and
• the input "Reply: GCB is open" is set.
If at the same time the conditions for a dead bus start GCB are fulfilled, the dead bus start MCB has priority.

Operation In Parallel With The Mains

In operation in parallel with the mains both circuit breakers are closed and the real power and the power factor
cos phi are controlled to the configured setpoint values, preconditioned that the controllers are activated in the
configuration. If "terminal 6 = Enable control" is adjusted, terminal 6 must be set additionally, so that the con-
troller operates.
Selection Of The Power Setpoint Value
• If the generator is connected in parallel with the mains over the GCB, initially a part load lead is carried out.
• If "Terminal 6 = Enable control" is adjusted, the following is valid:
- Set value 2, if "setpoint value 2 external" is configured "OFF" or
- the set value predetermined over the mA-signal, if "power setpoint value 2 external" is configured "ON".
• If "Terminal 6 = Power setpoint value" is adjusted, the following is valid:
- Set value 1, if terminal 6 is not set or
- set value 2, if terminal 6 is set and "Setpoint value external" is configured "OFF" or
- the set value predetermined over the mA-signal, if terminal 6 is set and "Setpoint value external" is config-
ured "ON"
- the power setpoint is always routed over a setpoint ramp, whose increase is adjustable.
- the power setpoint is upwards limited to the configured value "P max"
- the power setpoint is downwards limited to the configured value "P min".
Shutdown
If "Shutdown" is configured "ON", the installation can be shutdown over the input "Enable GCB", that means:
• With the resetting of the input "Enable GCB" shutdown starts and
• the power will be reduced.
• If the real power falls below 10 % of the rated power, the relay "open GCB for shutdown" will be opened.
LED "Gen CB - ON" Flashes

LED "Gen CB - ON" flashes: Incorrect signal state of the "Reply: GCB is open" on terminal 4.
Possible faults:
• Reply present on (= 0 V)
generator and busbar voltage not synchronous
If the LED flashes, one must check to see whether the input on terminal 4 is correctly wired. For the wiring to be
correct, there must be 0 V applied to the input when the power circuit breaker is closed.
LED "Bus CB - ON" Flashes

LED "Bus CB - ON" flashes: Incorrect signal state of the "Reply: MCB is open" on terminal 54.
Possible faults:
• Reply present on (= 0 V)
busbar and mains voltage not synchronous
If the LED flashes, one must check to see whether the input on terminal 54 is correctly wired. For the wiring to
be correct, there must be 0 V applied to the input when the power circuit breaker is closed.

Terminals 16/17
Readiness for operation The contact assembly is closed when the unit is ready for operation.
Terminals 18/19 The relay will drop out if the following occurs:
a) The internal self-monitoring system stated an alarm. In this case a
trouble-free function of the unit cannot be guaranteed and other
appropriate measures have to be taken into account, if necessary.
b) The synchronization time monitoring system is enabled and has
responded.
Command: open GCB The relay can be used for shutdown of the installation. It is assigned
for shutdown for shutdown and works independent of the watchdogs (see also
Terminal 39/40
chapter "Operation In Parallel With The Mains" after page 35).
Isolation Of The Power Supply From The Discrete Inputs

≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡
By means of an appropriate external wiring, the common reference point of the discrete inputs (terminal 7) can
be metallically separated from the supply voltage (0 V, terminal 2) . This is for instance necessary, if the discrete
inputs are not to be controlled with +24 Vdc and a metallic separation of the control voltage (e. g. 220 Vdc,
220 Vac) from the supply voltage has to be ensured.
Wiring should be made as follows:
• Reference points connected with 0 V

Bridge between terminal 7 and terminal 2 (0 V)
• Reference point of the discrete inputs potential-free:
Terminal 2: 0 V (supply voltage)
Terminal 7: 0 V or N (control voltage)

Analog Controller Outputs

≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡
The analog PID controller forms a closed-loop control loop together with the controlled system (usually a first-

timal ≤ 10 %).
Permanent control deviation xd: The present deviation between setpoint value and control variable in the
steady-state condition (PID controller: xd = 0).
From these values, the values KP, Tn and TV can be determined by various calculations. Moreover, it is possible,
by performing various calculations, to determine the optimal controller settings, e. g. by calculating compensa-
tion or adjustment of the time constants, T-sum rule, or symmetric optimum. Other setting procedures and infor-
mation may be obtained from current literature.
CAUTION
The following must be observed regarding the controller setting:
• Ensure that the emergency shutdown system is ready for use.
• While determining the critical frequency, pay attention to the amplitude and frequency.
• If the two values change uncontrollably:
Î EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN Í
Initial state: The start position of the controller is determined using the initial state of the controller. If the con-
troller is switched off, the initial state can be used to output a fixed controller position. Even when the analog
controller is switched off, the initial state can be freely adjusted (e.g. the speed controller can be controlled in a
statically manner).
Controller output Initial state 0 to 100 %

Initial state 000%
Analog controller output setting with controller switched off.
General settings: The setting rule described below only serves as an example. Whether this method is suitable
for setting your particular controlled system has not been and cannot be taken into account as each controlled
system behaves uniquely.
There are various methods of setting a controller. The setting rules of Ziegler and Nichols are explained below
(determination for abrupt disturbances on the system input); this setting method assumes a pure lag element con-
nected in series with a first-order lag system.

1. Controller operated as a P-only controller

(where Tn = ∞ [screen setting: Tn =0], TV = 0).
2. Increase gain KP (P gain) until the control loop oscillates continuously at KP = KPcrit.
CAUTION
If the unit starts to oscillate uncontrollably, carry out an emergency shutdown and alter the screen set-
ting accordingly.
3. Measuring of the cycle duration Tcrit

4. Set the parameters:

5 LED-row: too fast→ Phase position / synchroscope

Color: red/yellow/green
The row of LEDs indicates the current phase position between the two volt-
ages indicated on the display. The green LED in the middle of the 15 LEDs
indicates that the measured phase angle between the voltage systems is less
than 12 ° electrical. The phase position is only displayed in the automatic

than 2 Hz and both voltages are within the specified permissible ranges.
These ranges are defined as follows:
Frequency ranges 80 to 110 % fN

Voltage ranges 50 to 125 % UN
There are two different directions of rotation:

left → right ..If the LEDs run from left to right, the generator frequency is
too high, i.e., the generator or the variable mains turn too rap-
idly;
right → left ..If the LEDs run from right to left, the generator frequency is
too low, i.e., the generator respectively the variable mains turn
too slowly.

Configuration
WARNING
Please observe that the configuration may not be performed while the system is in operation.
NOTE
Please note the parameter list at the end of this manual.
While in configuration mode, (simultaneous depression of "Digit↑" and "Cursor→"), the function "Select"
causes the input masks to scroll. A long depression of the key "Select" activates the scrolling function, causing a
quick scrolling of the indication displays. Please note that a backward scrolling of the last four configuration
masks is possible (Exception: Jumping from the first to the last mask is not possible). To do this you must simul-
taneously press the buttons "Select" and "Cursor→". If no entry, modification or any other action is carried out
for about 10 minutes, the unit automatically returns to the automatic mode.

Password Protection
The unit is equipped with a three-level code and configuration hierarchy, which enables it to visualize various
configuration screens for different users. A distinction is made between:
• Code level 0 (CL0) - User: Third party

This code level enables no access whatsoever to the parameters. The configuration is blocked.
• Code level 1 (CL1) - User: Plant operator

This code level entitles the user to change a few selected parameters. Changing a code number is not possible
in this case.
• Code level 2 (CL2) - User: Commissioner

With code level 2 the user has direct access to all parameters (displaying and changing). In addition, in this
level the user may also set the code number for levels 1 and 2 or switch off the password protection.
Enter code Enter code number 0000 to 9999

XXXX
On accessing the configuration mode, a code number, which identifies the various
users, is requested. The displayed number XXXX is a random number (RN). If the
random number has been confirmed with "Select" without being changed, the unit's
code level remains. On entering the code number for level 1 respectively level 2,
the unit switches into code level CL1 respectively CL2 and the parameters can be
changed accordingly. On entering a wrong code number, the unit switches into
code level 0.
NOTE
Two hours after entering the code number the code level automatically drops back to CL0!
The default code number for code level 1 (CL1) is "0001"!
The default code number for code level 2 (CL2) is "0002"!
Only in code level 2 the password protection can be switched off!
Password Password protection ON/OFF

Protection ON
ON ................Access to configuration is done by entering the relevant code number
(code level 1/2). If a wrong code number was entered, the configura-
tion will be blocked.
OFF ..............The user has direct access to all parameters, the code number is not
requested.

Direct Configuration
NOTE
To configure via the configuration interface (direct configuration) you need the configuration cable (or-
dering code "DPC"), the program LeoPC1 (is delivered with the cable) and the corresponding configu-
ration files. Please consult the online help installed when the program is installed for a description of
the LeoPC1 PC program and its setup.
The parameters of the unit can be read via lateral plug at any time. With the password protection switched off or
if the unit is in code level 2, writing of parameters via direct configuration is also possible. If the password pro-
tection is switched on and the unit is in code level 0 or 1, the password (code number) of code level 2 must be
entered via direct configuration, to modify the parameters. The possibility, to modify parameters via display, is
not affected thereby.
Direct para. Configuration via the lateral plug YES/NO

YES
YES.............. Configuration via lateral plug is possible. The following further con-
ditions for configuration via lateral plug must be met:
- A connection between the unit and the PC via the direct configu-
ration cable must be available,
- the baud rate of the LeoPC1 program must be 9.600 baud and
- one must use the corresponding configuration file (filename:
"*.asm", called by *.cfg).
NO................ Configuration via lateral plug cannot be carried out.

Generator Voltage Monitoring

The external conductor voltages UL1/UL2 of the generator are monitored for exceeding or falling below the set
threshold value. The watchdog is assigned to the relay on the terminals 41/42. In regular status the relay is picked
up, that means the contact is closed. If the watchdog has triggered, the relay drops out, that means the contact
opens and the message "Gen. overvoltage" resp. "Gen. undervoltage" appears on the display. If the tripping crite-
ria is present for less than 1 second, the relay returns into regular status automatically. The message on the dis-
play can be cleared automatically or by pressing the button "Clear" (see also chapter "Auto Acknowledge Mes-
sages" on page 76).

Mains Frequency Monitoring

The monitoring of mains frequency is absolutely necessary if a generator is operated within a public network. In
case of a mains failure (e.g. short interruption of power supply) the generator working mains parallel must be
automatically disconnected from the mains. The mains frequency is monitored with regard to exceeding or fal-
ling below the set threshold value. The watchdog is assigned to the relay on the terminals 35/36. In regular status
the relay is picked up, that means the contact is closed. If the watchdog has triggered, the relay drops out, that
means the contact opens and the message "Mains overfreq." resp. "Mains underfreq." appears on the display. If
the tripping criteria is present for less than 1 second, the relay returns into regular status automatically. The mes-
sage on the display can be cleared automatically or by pressing the button "Clear" (see also chapter "Auto Ac-
knowledge Messages" on page 76).

Mains Voltage Monitoring

Monitoring the mains voltage is absolutely necessary if a generator is operated within a public network. In case
of a mains failure (e.g. short interruption of power supply) the generator working mains parallel must be auto-
matically disconnected from the mains. All phase-phase or phase-neutral voltages of the mains are monitored
with regard to exceeding or falling below that set threshold value. The watchdog is assigned to the relay on the
terminals 33/34. In regular status the relay is picked up, that means the contact is closed. If the watchdog has
triggered, the relay drops out, that means the contact opens and the message "Mains overvoltage" resp. "Mains
undervoltage" appears on the display. If the tripping criteria is present for less than 1 second, the relay returns
into regular status automatically. The message on the display can be cleared automatically or by pressing the but-
ton "Clear" (see also chapter "Auto Acknowledge Messages" on page 76).

Phase Shift Monitoring

A phase shift is a sudden change in the voltage curve, which may be caused by a major load change. In this case,
the unit detects a change in the cycle duration once. This change in the cycle duration is compared with a calcu-
lated mean value from previous measurements. The monitoring is carried out in three phases or, alternatively,
even in one phase. The phase jump monitor is only active if the mains voltage is larger than 50 % of the con-
verter rated voltage. The watchdog is assigned to the relay on the terminals 35/36. In regular status the relay is
picked up, that means the contact is closed. If the watchdog has triggered, the relay drops out, that means the
contact opens and the message "Phase jump" appears on the display (tripping delay is about 60 ms). If the trip-
ping criteria is present for less than 1 second, the relay returns into regular status automatically. The message on
the display can be cleared automatically or by pressing the button "Clear" (see also chapter "Auto Acknowledge
Messages" on page 76).

Parameter 130 Phase shift monitoring one/three-phase / three-phase only

Phase shift mon.
one/three phase one/three-phase: During single-phase voltage phase shift monitoring, tripping oc-
curs if the phase shift exceeds the specified threshold value in at least
one of the three phases. Note: If a phase shift occurs in one or two
phases, the single-phase threshold is considered; if a phase shift oc-
curs in all three phases, the three-phase threshold is considered; This
type of monitoring is very sensitive, and may lead to false tripping if
the selected phase angle settings are too small.
three-phase only: During three-phase voltage phase shift monitoring, tripping oc-
curs only if the phase shift exceeds the specified threshold value in
all three phases within 2 cycles.
Parameter 131 Maximum phase difference 3 to 90 °

Commissioning
DANGER - HIGH VOLTAGE

When commissioning the unit, please observe the five safety rules that apply to the handling of live
equipment. Make sure that you know how to provide first aid in current-related accidents and that you
know where the first aid kit and the nearest telephone are. Never touch any live components of the sys-
tem or on the back of the system:
LIFE THREATENING
WARNING
The unit may only be commissioned by a qualified technician. The "EMERGENCY STOP function must
function safely before the commissioning and must not depend on the particular engine.
CAUTION
Prior to commissioning, check that all measuring voltages are correctly connected with regard to
phases. The connect commands for the power circuit breakers must be disconnected at the power cir-
cuit breakers. The rotating field must be measured. Any lack or incorrect connection of measuring
voltages or other signals may lead to incorrect functions and damage the unit as well as engines and
components connected to the unit!
CAUTION
Please consider that the unit does not have an internal rotating field monitoring.
The unit assumes always a clockwise phase rotation direction of all voltage systems, which are meas-
ured.
A rotating field monitoring must be provided by the customer in order to avoid a CB closure with a
counter-clockwise rotating field.
Procedure
1. Disconnect the add-on orders directly at the power circuit breakers.
2. After checking if all measuring voltages are connected in-phase, the power supply has to be applied
(24 Vdc) .
3. By simultaneous depression of the two buttons "Digit↑" and "Cursor→" you enter into configuration
mode. Before changing into the configuration mode, make sure to reset the discrete input "configuration
locked" (connect to 0 V or disconnect). The LED "automatic" will be extinguished.
4. Enter the parameters following the sequence of the different masks. The setting limits can be either read
from the description of the masks or from the list of parameters at the end of the operating manual.
5. Do not enable any function (breaker or control) and ensure that all displayed values are correct (are the
same as measured with an separate measuring device). If a measuring voltage has been wired incorrect
or not at all, this may lead to an asynchronous add-on order in case of an active dead bus start!

6. Check the status of all control and auxiliary inputs and the appropriate LEDs on the front foil of the unit.
Check the status of all control and auxiliary outputs as well as the setting of the controller outputs.
7. Check the watchdog functions for generator and mains.
8. Synchronizing the power circuit breaker (GCB or MCB):

a) Disconnect the connection to the power circuit breaker;
b) the voltage to which the system has to synchronize to, must be within the admissible range;
c) the signal "Enable CB" has to be applied.
e) If the generator voltage is 50 % lower that the rated value the frequency controllers starts to operate.
Set parameters of the controller in that way that the setpoint value is controlled at an optimum.
f) Prior to the automatic closing of the circuit breaker ensure that all measuring values have been wired
and applied correct. In the synchronous point check weather the synchronizing functions have been
configured correctly. This test is best done using a differential voltage meter direct at the power circuit
breaker.
9. Dead bus start (GCB or MCB):

a) Disconnect the connection to the power circuit breaker.
b) Check all conditions and measuring voltages and test the add-on command.
c) Automatically switching of the power circuit breaker.
10. After successful closing of the power circuit breaker the LED "Gen CB - ON" has to light up.
11. After successful closing of the mains circuit breaker LED "Bus CB ON" has to light up.

Power Factor Definition
The phasor diagram is used from the generator's view. This defines the following definitions.
Power Factor is defined as a ratio of the real power to apparent power. In a purely resistive circuit, the voltage
and current waveforms are instep resulting in a ratio or power factor of 1.00 (often referred to as unity). In an in-
ductive circuit the current lags behind the voltage waveform resulting in usable power (real power) and unusable
power (reactive power). This results in a positive ratio or lagging power factor (i.e. 0.85lagging). In a capacitive
circuit the current waveform leads the voltage waveform resulting in usable power (real power) and unusable
power (reactive power). This results in a negative ratio or a leading power factor (i.e. 0.85leading).
Inductive: Electrical load whose current waveform lags Capacitive: Electrical load whose current waveform
the voltage waveform thus having a lagging power fac- leads the voltage waveform thus having a leading
tor. Some inductive loads such as electric motors have power factor. Some capacitive loads such as capacitor
a large startup current requirement resulting in lagging banks or buried cable result in leading power factors.
power factors.
Different power factor displays at the unit:
i0.91 (inductive) c0.93 (capacitive)

lg.91 (lagging) ld.93 (leading)
Reactive power display at the unit:
70 kvar (positive) -60 kvar (negative)
Output at the interface:
+ (positive) - (negative)
In relation to the voltage, the current is
lagging leading
The generator is
over excited under excited
Control: If the control unit is equipped with a power factor controller
A voltage lower "-" signal is output as long as the A voltage raise "+" signal is output as long as the
measured value is "more inductive" than the reference measured value is "more capacitive" than the reference
set point set point
Example: measured = i0.91; set point = i0.95 Example: measured = c0.91; set point = c0.95
