Control functions

LED indicating lamps: For Genset Running, Remote Start, AMF Test Active, Genset Shutdown, Warning, Load connected to Genset, Load connected to Utility, Manual Mode, Stop Mode, and Auto Mode. 128 x 64 Pixel Monochrome Graphics display

Operation Interface: Six tactile-feel soft switches for LCD navigation, genset operation, and control setup. These switches are indicated by internationally accepted symbols and English text.

Operator adjustments: The LCD includes provisions for necessary setup and adjustment functions.

Data Log includes engine run time and controller on-time Fault

History: Provides a record of the most recent fault Condition with the Engine run time stamp, RTC stamp, and occurrences Up to 5 events are stored in the control non-volatile memory.

AMF Functionality: When Auto Mains Failure is enabled and the controller is in Auto Mode and if the utility goes off then the control starts the Genset automatically and transfers load onto Genset. If Utility returns and is healthy then load again gets retransferred onto Utility. AMF provides load transfer operation in Open Transition transfer mode.

Fuel Level Feature: The Control will show the warning fault when the fuel level in the tank goes below the predefined threshold. Control includes time delays to prevent nuisance warning signals.

Exercise Scheduler: It is used only when the genset is in Auto mode. It is used to start a Scheduler schedule at No Load condition. A trim Exercise

Scheduler Enable is available to enable or disable the feature.

Maintenance: Maintenance due alarm based on Engine Running Time or Real-time clock

Control data: Access to the control software part number and software version are provided from the LCD or InPowerTM.

Alternator data: 

• Voltage (single or three-phase line-to-line and line-to-neutral)
• Current (single or three-phase)
• kVA, kVAR, kW, Power Factor (Three phase and total)
• Frequency
• Totalized positive and negative kWH, kVARH, kVAH
• Utility AC data
• Voltage (three/single phase LL and LN) -Frequency
• Engine Data
• Starting battery voltage
• Engine running hours
• Engine temperature

Service adjustments

• The control includes provisions for adjustment and calibration of generator set control functions. Functions include:
• Voltage selection
• Frequency selection
• Genset and Utility AC Meter Calibration
• Engine control
• CT ratio, and Genset ratings setup
• Start/Stop time delay setup
• Real-time clock setup with daylight saving
• AMF Setup with test mode and transfer/retransfer time delaysModbus baud rate, parity setup
• Exercise scheduler repeat interval, Day, time, and duration setup
• Maintenance due setup
• LCD brightness and contrast control

Battery operation

• Control will operate on 12V/24V batteries

Auto start mode: Accepts a ground signal from remote devices to automatically start the generator set. The remote start signal will also wake up the control from sleep mode. The control can incorporate a time delay start and stop.

Emergency stop: The control annunciates when an emergency stop signal is received and the generator set immediately shuts down. The generator set is prevented from running or cranking with the switch-engaged E-stop switch.

Sleep mode: The control includes a configurable low current draw state to minimize the starting battery current draw when the genset is not operating.

Engine starting: The control supports automatic engine starting. Primary and backup start disconnects are achieved by battery charging alternator feedback or main alternator output frequency. The control also supports configurable glow plug control when applicable.

Cycle cranking: Configurable for the number of starting cycles (1 to 7) and duration of crank and rest periods. Control includes starter protection algorithms to prevent the operator from specifying a starting sequence that might be damaging.

Time delay start and stop (cooldown): Configurable for a time delay of 0-300 seconds before starting after receiving a remote start signal and for a time delay of 0-600 seconds before shutdown after the signal stops in normal operation modes. The default for both time delay periods is 0 seconds.

Auto Mains Failure functions: AMF primarily means that the genset controller is controlling both the genset breaker and a utility breaker in a transfer pair arrangement. AMF is only for use in a single genset / single utility arrangement. AMF’s primary job is to keep loads powered. AMF completely manages the system by automatically starting the genset and transferring load when it detects utility failure. AMF has numerous built-in configurable sensors to determine the availability of the utility and genset sources. Sensors include under voltage, overvoltage, over/under frequency, and breaker failure. PS0600 control supports only open transition (Break Before Make) AMF functionality.

AMF Test mode: AMF supports test mode with or without load options along with test mode duration.

Load Transfer Switch Type: AMF breaker outputs can be continuous (contact pair) or pulsed

(GTEC) type based on load transfer switch selection.

LCD capability: Undervoltage sensor

• Three-phase LL and LN Undervoltage sensing for pickup 85-100% and dropout adjustable from 75-98% of nominal and dropout adjustable delay from 0.1-30 sec

Overvoltage sensor: Three-phase LL and LN overvoltage sensing for dropout adjustable from 105-135% of nominal and dropout adjustable delay from 0.5-120 sec

Over/under frequency sensor: Under frequency sensing for pickup 85-100% and dropout adjustable from 70-85% of nominal and dropout adjustable delay from 0.1-15 sec

Over frequency sensing for dropout adjustable from 105-115% of nominal and dropout adjustable delay from 0.1-15 sec

Timers: The control provides transfer time delays including Time delay engine start (0-3600 sec), time delay normal to emergency (0-300 sec), and programmed transition delay (0-600 sec)

The control provides retransfer time delays including time delay emergency to normal (0-1800 sec) and programmed transition delay (0-600 sec), time delay engine cooldown (0-3600 sec)
