WARNING
Read this entire manual and all other publications pertaining to the work to be performed before install-
ing, operating, or servicing this equipment. Practice all plant and safety instructions and 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 (overtempera-
ture, or overpressure, where applicable) shutdown unit(s), that operates totally independently of the
prime mover control unit(s) to protect against runaway or damage to the engine, turbine, or other type
of prime mover with possible personal injury or loss of life should the mechanical-hydraulic gover-
nor(s) or electric control(s), the actuator(s), fuel control(s), the driving mechanism(s), the linkage(s), or
the controlled unit(s) fail.
CAUTION
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 dam-
age to these parts.
Discharge body static before handling the control (with power to the control turned off, contact 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.

Function
What Is To Be Taken Into Account With ...

... Different Options

In accordance with its configuration, the control may differ from the maximum expansion via the following char-
acteristics:
The inputs and outputs are present or not present, corresponding to the control configuration (depending on
your order). Please refer to the wiring diagram and the notes on the packages and options contained in these.
Refer to the name plate to see whether or not the corresponding option is contained in the control. If the name
plate has been removed, all configuration screens can be called up in succession and the options can be com-
plied with the assistance of this manual.
There are different screens for the various types of interfaces.
... Systems With One Power Circuit Breaker

If a control with a 2-power-circuit-breaker logic [GCP-32] or a 1-power-circuit-breaker logic [[GCP-31] is in-
stalled for use with one power circuit breaker, the following shall apply:
If the stationary permanent operation application is to be operated in isolated or isolated parallel operation
(the MCB is opened), the following signals have to be applied:
- "Reply: MCB is open" / "Isolated operation" (term. 54): HIGH signal (log. "1") and
- "Enable MCB" (terminal 53): LOW signal (logical "0").
- Condition: The Parameter 146 "Emergency power" must be set to "OFF".
If the stationary permanent operation application is to be operated in mains parallel operation (the GCP al-
ways is closed if the generator operates in mains parallel), the following signals have to be applied:
- "Reply: MCB is open" / "Isolated operation" (term. 54): LOW-Signal (log. "0") and
- "Enable MCB" (terminal 53): HIGH signal (logical "1").
If the application is to be operated in isolated(parallel) as well as in mains parallel operation (the MCB can be
opened or closed), the following signals have to be applied:
- Reply, that the GCB is closed (terminal 4) and
- Reply, that the MCB is closed (terminal 54) and
- "Enable MCB" (terminal 53)
Case A - The MCB has to remain closed (except at an emergency power operation): The "Enable MCB" (ter-
minal 53) always has to be logical "1".
Case B - The MCB can be opened (also outside an emergency power operation): The "Enable MCB" (termi-
nal 53) has to be logical "1" if a mains parallel operation has to be established (a synchronization of the MCB
has to be performed). During the synchronization of the MCB (GCP-31: External) the generator frequency is
controlled with a slightly higher value than the mains frequency (df max/2). Additionally a message is issued
at the display. The "Enable MCB" (terminal 53) has to be logically "0", if the system has to be operated in
isolated operation (control of setpoint frequency and setpoint voltage).
Woodward Page 9/158

... Systems With Asynchronous/Induction Generators (Special Hardware !!)

In the case of systems with asynchronous/induction generators, the following must be noted:
Systems with asynchronous/induction generators are 1-power-circuit-breaker systems [GCP-31].
Connect the remanence voltage to terminals 23/24. Terminal 23/24 enables to determine the current fre-
quency (rotary speed) from the remanence voltage with small amplitudes. If the GCB is not closed, only the
remanence voltage, which is less than 10 V is measured instead of the generator voltage. The generator volt-
age and frequency is monitored only once the GCB is closed. If the control is in mains parallel operation, the
input 23/24 is no longer regarded.
Signals

Discrete Inputs
NOTE
Any possible emergency power (Parameter 146 "Emergency power" has to be configured to ON) or
Critical (Sprinkler) mode operation (terminal 6 must be configured accordingly; Parameter 218) will be
carried out in the TEST and AUTOMATIC operation modes regardless of the discrete inputs "Auto-
matic 1" and "Automatic 2". If terminals 3 and 5 are set simultaneously, preference is given to termi-
nal 3.
Automatic 1 (Start/Stop the engine) Terminals 3/7

Selection of the operation mode AUTOMATIC with "real power setpoint value 1" as well as start-
ing/stopping of the engine.
Set ................. If the control is in AUTOMATIC mode (selected using the mode selection switch on
the front panel) the "real power setpoint value 1" (Parameter 37) is controlled in mains
parallel mode. In the case of a fixed power (F), the engine is started immediately and
mains parallel operation is performed following the synchronization of the generator
power circuit breaker GCB. In the case of incoming/import (I) or outgoing/export
power (E), starting is performed by automatic start/stop operation. If no automatic
start/stop operation is enabled (Parameter 97), the engine is started immediately. The
setpoint value can be modified via both the configuration mode and via the "up/down"
push-buttons in AUTOMATIC mode.
Reset ............. If the engine does not run either in Critical (Sprinkler) mode or emergency power
mode, the GCB is opened, a cool down is performed and the engine is stopped.
Page 10/158 Woodward

Automatic 2 (Start/Stop the engine) Terminals 5/7

Selection of the operation mode AUTOMATIC with "real power setpoint value 2" as well as start-
ing/stopping of the engine.
Set.................. If the control is in AUTOMATIC mode (selected using the mode selection switch on
the front panel) the "real power setpoint value 2" (Parameter 38) is controlled in mains
parallel mode. In the case of a fixed power (F), the engine is started immediately and
mains parallel operation is performed following the synchronization of the generator
power circuit breaker GCB. In the case of incoming/import (I) or outgoing/export
power (E), starting is performed by automatic start/stop operation. If no automatic
start/stop operation is enabled (Parameter 98), the engine is started immediately. The
setpoint value can be modified via both the configuration mode and via the "up/down"
push-buttons in AUTOMATIC mode.
Reset..............If the engine does not run either in Critical (Sprinkler) mode or emergency power
mode, the GCB is opened, a cool down is performed and the engine is stopped.
If a setpoint value is specified externally (e. g. via an analog input 0/4..20 mA or a bi-directional in-
terface), the external setpoint value is adjusted with the discrete input (see Table 3-3: Setpoint value
table).
Multifunction Terminals 6/7

Discrete input terminal 6 may reveal different functions. Please note that, when used as a Critical
(Sprinkler) mode input, the discrete input reveals negative functional logic. The selection of the logic
is made using Parameter 218.
Reply: GCB is open Terminals 4/7

With this input (logical "1") the control is signaled that the GCB is open (the "GCB ON" LED is off).
[GCP-32] Reply: MCB is open Terminals 54/7

With this input (logical "1") the control is signaled that the MCB is open (the LED "MCB ON" is off).
[GCP-31] Isolated operating / reply external breaker Terminals 54/7

With this input (logical "1") the control is signaled that the genset is operated in isolated operation
(the LED "Mains parallel" is off). This discrete input is used to decide whether, after closing the
GCB, frequency control (terminal 54 = logical "1") or real power control (terminal 54 = logical "0") is
to be carried out.
Enable MCB Terminals 53/7

Set.................. A mains parallel operation is enabled and the MCB (GCP-31: external) is operated.
Reset.............. The MCB is not operated. Depending on the reply of the MCB, an isolated operation or
an operation in parallel with the mains is performed.
Discrete inputs Terminals 34-36/33 and 61-73/60

Freely programmable alarm inputs with message text, alarm class, time delay, delayed engine moni-
toring and NO/NC function.
Woodward Page 11/158

Control Outputs
Readiness for operation Terminals 18/19

Setting this relay signals the readiness for operation of the control. If this relay drops out, the proper
function of the control can no longer be guaranteed. Appropriate actions must be initiated once this
relay has dropped out (e.g. open GCB, shut-down engine).
Preheating (Diesel engine) pre-assigned to terminals 37/38

When this relay is set, the diesel engine is preheated (please note chapter "Diesel engine").
Ignition "ON" (Gas engine) pre-assigned to terminals 37/38

When this relay is set, the ignition of the gas engine is switched on (please note chapter "gas engine").
Fuel relay / gas valve Terminals 43/44

a) Diesel engine: fuel relay (Parameter 276)
a.1) Operating magnet
Setting this relay will initiate the starting sequence of the diesel engine. If the engine is to be shut-
down the relay will immediately drop out. If the speed of the engine drops below the adjustable ig-
nition speed, the relay also drops out (note chapter "Diesel engine").
a.2) Stopping magnet
Setting this relay will stop the engine.
b) Gas engine: gas valve

Setting this relay will initiate the starting sequence of the gas engine. The gas valve will be opened.
If the engine is to be shut down the relay will immediately drop out. If the speed of the engine falls
below the adjustable firing speed (Parameter 279), the relay also drops out (note chapter "Gas en-
gine").
Starter Terminals 45/46

Setting this relay will engage the starter. When the firing speed is reached (Parameter 279), at STOP
mode, or after expiry of the engagement time (Parameter 266 or Parameter 272), the starter is disen-
gaged.
Centralized alarm pre-assigned to terminals 47/48

Setting this relay will issue a centralized alarm. In this case e. g. a horn or buzzer is triggered. The op-
erator can reset the relay by pressing the push-button "RESET" for a short period. The relay will be
set again in the event of another alarm. The centralized alarm is set for alarms of alarm class F1
through F3.

Command: close GCB Terminals 14/15

Setting this relay will close the GCB. If the GCB closing command is configured to continuous pulse
(Parameter 116), in response to a missing discrete input "Reply: GCB is open" the relay is maintained
in its closed state; this is also the case if the voltages of the generator and the busbar are equal. In the
event of an alarm of the alarm class 2 or 3, or the GCB is to be opened, this relay drops out. In the
event of an alarm of alarm class 2 the relay does not drop out immediately, but only if the power is
less than 3.125 % of the rated generator power. If switching off the GCB is not configured to con-
tinuous pulse, the relay drops back out after a pulse is output. Then, the self-holding of the GCB must
be carried out externally.
Command: open GCB Terminals 41/42

Setting this relay will open the GCB. Following "Reply: GCB is open", the relay output is removed.
[GCP-32] Command: close MCB Terminals 16/17

Setting this relay will close the MCB. This output is always a pulse, i. e., the self-holding of the MCB
must be carried out externally.
[GCP-32] Command: open MCB Terminals 39/40

By setting this relay will open the MCB. Following "Reply: MCB is open", the relay output is re-
moved.
Relay manager Terminals 74-83, 33-38, 47/48

These relays are managed by the "relay manager" (Parameter 257).
Default values:
Relay 1-5 = relay number (e. g. relay 1 = alarm class 1, relay 2 = alarm class 2, etc.)
Relay 6 = Ignition / preheating
Relay 7 = Centralized alarm

Parameter
Configuration can be performed using a PC and the PC program LeoPC via the serial interface or via the front
panel push-buttons and the front panel LC display. Additionally it is possible to configure the unit via CAN bus.
The following Baudrate are therefore usable:
Configuration via direct configuration plug = 9,600 Baud (8 Bit, no parity, 1 Stoppbit) and
CAN bus (CiA) = 125, 250 or 500 kBaud configurable via the serial interface.
CAUTION
For configuration of this control (firmware software version starting with 4.1xxx) a PC software with
the following version number:
LeoPC from 3.0.015
Because of functional enhancements within the controls of the GCP-30 Series it is necessary (beginning with
firmware version 4.1.xxx of the GCP) to use a newer version of the configuration software LeoPC. This version
at least has to be 3.0.015 or higher. If the LeoPC software you currently use has an older version the latest ver-
sion can be ordered at our technical sales or can be downloaded on our homepage at
http://www.woodward.com/software.
Once you successfully finished the installation older project files still can be used.
WARNING
Please note that configuration only should be performed in a standstill of the system.
NOTE
Please take into account the list of parameters at the end of this manual.
You can scroll through the parameters if you are in configuration mode (simultaneously pressing of "Digit" and
"Cursor") using "Select". If you press the key "Select" for a longer time, the scroll function will be activated,
and you are able to scroll through the screens more rapid. Please note that you can scroll backwards through the
last four configuration masks (exception: change from the first to the last parameter as well as backwards in the
service screen is not possible). In order to do this, you have to press the keys "Select" and "Cursor" simultane-
ously and release them afterwards again. The device reverts to automatic mode automatically, if no entry, change
or any other action has been made for a period of 90 seconds.
NOTE
There are two different types of hardware, which are described in this manual: A 120 Vac version [1]
and a 400 Vac version [4]. The configuration screens and parameters differ in both versions, and the
setting limits also differ. The two types are identified by the preceding voltage values ([1] ... or [4] ...).

Basic Data

Version Number (Software Version)

Parameter 1
Software version
Software version
Vx.xxxx Display of the software version.
Configuration Access
The control 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 (CS0) - User: Third party

This code level enables no access whatsoever to the parameters. The configuration is blocked.
Code level 1 (CS1) - User: Customer

This code level entitles the user to change a few selected parameters. Changing a password is not possible in
this case.
Code level 2 (CS2) - User: Commissioner

With code level 2 the user acquires all access rights, and therefore has direct access to all parameters (display-
ing and changing). In addition, the user may also set the password for levels 1 and 2 in this level. In this code
level the access protection can be completely de-activated (see below).
NOTE
Once the code level is set, this is not changed, even if the configuration mode is accessed steady.
When an incorrect code number is entered, the code level is set to CS0 and the control is therefore
locked for external users (set of password on page 27). Two hours after the last entry of the code level,
the code level is set to CS0 automatically. By entering the corresponding code number, the corre-
sponding level is accessed again.
The code level for each parameter is given in the parameter list in the appendix.
The code level can also be entered using the PC program LeoPC.
Parameter 2
Enter code number 0-9999
Enter code
0000 On accessing the configuration mode, a code number, which identifies the various
users, is first requested. The displayed number XXXX is a random number and is
confirmed with the "Select" push-button. If the random number has been confirmed
with "Select" without being changed, the control's code level remains as it was.
Two four-digit code numbers (0000-9999) exist for changing the code level and set-
ting up new code words for the users. No assignment is required for the "third
party" user level, as the user does not usually receive access to the configuration
level (protected via the code).

Direct Configuration
NOTE
To carry out direct configuration, you require a direct configuration cable (order code "DPC"), the
LeoPC 1 program (supplied with the cable) and the corresponding configuration files. Please consult
the online help installed when the program is installed for a description of the LeoPC 1 PC program
and its setup.
Remote configuration: For remote configuration, the password of level 2 must be entered via the parameter
"password level 2", otherwise, the values can only be read, but not written. Entering via the bus has no influence
on the displayed parameters; this means, if the control itself is in code level 0, it also behaves as described in the
previous section; only configuration via the bus is allowed. The configuration via the bus is enabled for 2 hours
from that point in time from which no configuration or readout has been performed anymore; afterwards, the
password must be entered again. The password must also be entered in advance to load the language. If the code
for level 2 is entered on the control itself, the configuration is automatically enabled via the bus.
WARNING
If the following Parameter 3 "Direct para." is configured to "YES", communication via the interface with
terminals X1-X5 is locked. If communication is to be re-established via interface X1-X5 after finishing
the configuration of the control (e. g. CAN bus connection via a Gateway GW 4), the following Para-
meter 3 must be configured to "NO"!
Direct configuration is switched off for safety reasons once the firing speed (Parameter 279) has been
reached. That means that further configuration of the control is only possible using the display and
push-buttons, directly or via the CAN bus interface. Parameter 3 is automatically switched from YES to
NO (this is done using the software). The de-activation of the direct configuration is for safety reasons,
so that in the case of multiple systems starting simultaneously (e. g. emergency power situation) a si-
multaneous switching of the generator breakers to the dead busbar is prevented.
Parameter 3
Direct configuration YES/NO
Direct para.
YES YES ..............A configuration via the lateral plug is possible, and any CAN bus
connection that may be available via terminals X1-X5 is de-activated.
The following conditions must be met in order to carry out configura-
tion via the lateral plug:
- A connection must be established via the direct configuration cable
between the control and the PC,
- the baud rate of the LeoPC program must be set to 9,600 Baud and
- the corresponding configuration file must be used (file name:
"xxxx-xxxx-yyy-zz.asm").
NO ................Configuration via the lateral plug cannot be carried out, and any
available CAN bus connection via the terminals X1-X5 is activated.

Generator Number
Parameter 4
Generator number (number of the control on the CAN bus) 1-14
Generator number
0 If several controls are available and these are coupled via a CAN bus, a different
number must be assigned to each control for differentiation purposes. The generator
number 1 should be assigned even in the case of a single control. The control num-
ber entered here corresponds to the control number in the program LeoPC.
Language Manager (Package XP.., Option ZE)

In order to load a different language into the control, please proceed as follows:
1.) Establish a connection between your PC and the control via the direct configuration cable (DPC) or via a
GW 4. To do this insert one end into the COM port of your PC and the other end into the respective socket
of the control.
2.) Enter the password for code level 2 into the control (Parameter 2).
3.) If you use the direct configuration cable (DPC), the Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht gefunden wer-
den. has to be set to "YES". If you use the GW 4 or the CAN bus, the Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht
gefunden werden. has to be set to "NO".
4.) If you want to load the language via the CAN bus, please enter the number (1-14) into the mask "Generator
number" (Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht gefunden werden.), with which you address the GCP via
LeoPC.
5.) Now, scroll to the configuration mask "Language" (Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht gefunden wer-
den.) and select the basic language by selecting "first".
6.) Start the program LeoPC and enter the password.
7.) Open the respective .cfg file via menu "File", "open".
8.) Start the communication via the menu "Communication", "Connect".
9.) Select "Configuration" in the menu item "Extra".
10.) Enter the password for the code level 2 (Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht gefunden werden.).
11.) Close the configuration window.
12.) Select the menu item "Extra" and "Load language".
13.) Load the respective language file using the button "Load language file ..."
14.) Check "All" and afterwards select "transmit language".
15.) If an additional language is to be loaded after transmission of the first language, the second language has to
be selected in the configuration mask "Language" Parameter 5 by selecting "second". Repeat steps 12.)
through 14.).

Configuration of the measuring YES/NO
Configure
measuring YES Various groups of parameters are grouped together in blocks to allow to navigate
through the large number of configuration screens more rapidly. Selecting "YES" or
"NO" has no effect on whether or not control or monitoring etc., is carried out. The
input merely has the following effects:
YES.............. The configuration screens in the next block are displayed and can ei-
ther be viewed ("Select" push-button) or modifications can be made
to the parameters ("Cursor", "Digit" or "Select" push-buttons). A
decision is not made on whether the parameters are processed or not.

Generator Current
Parameter 21
Generator CT's 10-7,000/{X} A
Current transf.
generator 0000/x The input of the current conversion ratio is necessary in order to display and control
the actual values. The ratio must be selected in such a manner that, at maximum
power, at least 60 % of the converter's nominal current flows. A lower percentage
may lead to malfunctions. Additional inaccuracies in the control and monitoring
functions also occur.
{x} = 1 A ...... Secondary current = 1 A at primary rated current = {X} A;

{x} = 5 A ...... Secondary rated current = 5 A at primary rated current = {X} A;
{X} ............... e.g. from the main series 10, 15, 20, 30, 50 or 75 A and the decimal
fractions and multiples of these or the corresponding secondary series

Parameter 22
Generator power measurement singlephase / threephase
Power measuring
gen.------------ With regard to the measurement of generator power, single-phase or three-phase
measurement may be selected. If "single-phase power measurement" is set, the cur-
rent and the voltage in phase L1 are used for power measurement. If "three-phase
power measurement" is set, all three currents and the relevant voltages are used for
power measurement.
single phase power measurement: P = 3 VL12 IL1 cos.
threephase power measurement:
P = VL1N IL1 cos + VL2N IL2 cos + VL3N IL3 cos.
NOTE
With a positive real power, a positive real current flows in the "k-l" direction in the CT. Positive reactive
power means that with a positive effective direction, inductive reactive (lagging) current flows in the ef-
fective direction. If the control is connected to the terminals of a generator and if the outgoing circuits
of the CT facing the generator are connected to "k", the unit shows a positive real power when the
generator supplies real power. In this regard, note the explanations in manual 37238.
Parameter 23
Generator rated power 5-9,999 kW
Rated power
generator 0000kW Here the generator rated power is configured. The exact value of the generator rated
power is absolutely vital, as very many measurement, control and monitoring func-
tions refer to this value (e.g. the percentual input for the power protection).
Parameter 24
Generator rated current 10-7,000 A
Rated current
generator 0000A Here the generator rated current is configured (only the percentual inputs for cur-
rent protection refer to this parameter).

Mains Current/Mains Power Measurement
Mains power actual value measurement via analog input (Package XP.., Option TZ01)
Measurement of the mains power actual value measurement via an analog input T{x} [x = 1-7] is possible if at
least one of the analog inputs T{x} [x = 1-7] is a 0/4-20 input. Selection of the analog input occurs via the fol-
lowing parameters.
Parameter 25
Analog input P-mains: Selection OFF / T{x}
Analog in Pmains
OFF OFF ..............The mains interchange (import/export) real power actual value is
Package XP.., Option T701 only
calculated out of the measured mains current and the measured mains
voltage. The analog inputs can either be used as real power setpoint
value or as free configurable alarm inputs. The following masks of
this function are not displayed.
T{x} ..............The mains interchange (import/export) real power actual value can
be fed to the control by a measuring transducer and can be measured
via the configured free scalable 0/4-20 mA input T{x} ({x} = 1-7)
(other types of analog inputs cannot be used).The following masks of
this function are displayed.
Note
Please note that the selected analog input T{x}
has to be configured to OFF (Parameter 222) in chapter "Analog inputs" and that
this analog input
must not be configured as generator real power setpoint value (Parameter 80) in
chapter "Controller".
T{x}: Dependent on the control model these analog inputs are included and pos-
sibly built as 0/4-20 mA type. For this function only 0/4-20 mA inputs can be
used (only these inputs are displayed for selection at this parameter).
A change of the function of the analog inputs is updated in the visualization of
LeoPC once the PC program has been restarted after the dynamic configuration
has been started.
Priority of the functions of the analog inputs

The following priority is valid if more than one function has been assigned to a ana-
log input:
Highest priority: Mains interchange (import/export) real power actual value
Middle priority: Generator real power setpoint value
Lowest priority: Measuring input as common analog value

Parameter 26
Analog input P mains: Range 0-20 mA / 4-20 mA
Analog in.Pmains
0-00mA The measuring range 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA is selected with this parameter. If the
range was selected 4-20 mA and the current is lower than 2 mA, a wire break alarm
is issued.
Note
It is possible to adjust the display range of the mains interchange (import/export)
real power actual value. Thereto the wanted value must be entered and saved using
the Parameter 223 "name and unit" of the selected analog input (see chapter "Ana-
log inputs").
NOTE
In case of an import/export real power control you have to take care that the setpoint value is set in the
middle of the measuring range. By this setting the controller dynamic can be used to full capacity.

Analog Controller Outputs (Package ..Q, Option Q)

As an alternative to a three-position controller output, the control may also be equipped with an analog controller
output. Other configuration masks then appear in configuration mode. The analog PID controller forms a closed-
loop control loop together with the controlled system (usually a first-order lag element). The parameters of the
PID controller (proportional-action coefficient KPR, derivative-action time TV and reset time Tn) can be modified
individually. The configuration screens are used for this purpose.

Figure 3-2: Step response (Example)
Various values can be obtained from the step response; these are required for adjusting the controller to its opti-
mum setting:
Rise time Trise: Period starting when the value of the control variable leaves a predefined tolerance range for the
control variable following a step in the disturbance variable or reference input variable and ending the first time
the value re-enters this range.
Setting time Tsettling: Period starting when the value of the control variable leaves a predefined tolerance range
for the control variable following a step in the disturbance variable or reference input variable and ending when
the value re-enters this range permanently.
Overshoot xm: Highest transient setpoint value deviation during the transition from one steady-state condition to
a new steady-state condition following modification of the disturbance variable or reference input variable (xm Op-
timal 10 %).
System deviation xd: Permanent deviation from the final value (PID controller: xd = 0).
By different conversions from these values, the values KPR, Tn and TV can be determined. Moreover, it is possi-
ble, by performing various calculations, to determine the optimal controller settings, e. g. by calculating compen-
sation or adjustment of the time constants, T-sum rule, symmetric optimum, Bode-diagram. Other setting proce-
dures and information 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:
EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN
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 basic setting can be used to output a fixed controller position. If operation mode
MANUAL has been selected, the initial state signal is output only with the "START" push-button. Even when
the analog controller is switched off, the initial state can be freely adjusted (e. g. the speed controller can be con-
trolled in a linear manner). On setting the "STOP" push-button, the analog controller is switched off again.

Analog controller output setting with controller switched off. This value is also
used as the initial value.
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 KPR (P-gain) until the control loop oscillates continuously at KP = KPkrit.
ATTENTION
If the engine starts to oscillate uncontrollably, carry out an emergency shutdown and alter the screen set-
ting accordingly.
3. At the same time: measure the critical cycle duration Tcrit

4. Set the parameters:

gain.
Reset time Reset time (Tn) 0.2-60.0 s

Tn = 00.0s
The reset time Tn represents the I-component of the PID controller. The I-
component results in permanent control deviation being eliminated in the controlled
state.

The derivative-action time TV represents the D-component of the PID controller. An

Real Power Controller, Setpoint Values

These screens appear only if the generator real power controller has been configured to "ON" (Parameter 76).
NOTE
The fixed-value power control does not take into account the mains interchange point, i. e., the mains
will be supplied in the event of excessive power (power export of real power); in the event of a power
deficit, differential power coverage will be provided by the mains (import of real power).
Engine starting depends on whether an automatic start/stop operation has been enabled or disabled
(Parameter 97 or Parameter 98). If it has been disabled, the engine is always started.

an external signal using the 0/4-20 mA inputs (T{x}, {x) = 1-7; other
types of analog inputs cannot be used). This setpoint value is used
when automatic 2 (terminal 5) is set. The subsequent screens of this
function are displayed.
Note
Please note that the selected analog input T{x}
has to be configured to OFF in chapter "Analog inputs" (Parameter 222) and
must not be configured as mains interchange real power actual value (Para-
meter 25) in chapter "Measuring".
T{x}: Dependent on the configuration of the control these analog inputs are in-
cluded and possibly a 0/4-20 mA type. For this function only 0/4-20 mA analog
inputs can be used.
A change of the function of the analog inputs is updated in the visualization of
LeoPC once the PC program has been restarted after the dynamic configuration
has been started.

The following priority is valid if more than one function has been assigned to a ana-
log input:
Highest priority: Mains interchange real power actual value measurement
Middle priority: Real power setpoint value

4-20 mA........Minimum value of the setpoint at 4 mA; maximum value at 20 mA.
CAUTION
The interchange real power setpoint can also be scaled. When controlling the interchange power, it is
vital to ensure that no F power is entered simultaneously with I or E power when scaling the external
analog input.

For example: In the case of an insensitivity of 2.5 % and a factor of 2.0 the insensitivity is increased after
5 s to 5.0 %. If the control deviation subsequently exceeds 5.0 %, again, the controller's original sensitiv-
ity is automatically reset (2.5 %). This input can be used, in the event of small control deviations, to
avoid unnecessarily frequent actuation processes, thereby protecting the adjustment facility.

Load And/Or Var Sharing

Control guarantees that, in every operating condition (mains parallel operation, isolated operation in parallel with
other gensets or reverse synchronization of the busbar to the mains), the real power (in reference to the relevant
rated load) is evenly shared over the generators operating in parallel to the busbar. Those controls that are found
in the TEST or AUTOMATIC operation mode are involved in the load and/or var sharing. Moreover, a start
command has been issued and there are no alarms present that would shut down the system.
Operation in mains parallel operating with mains interchange (import/export) real power control: Each
controller involved in load/var sharing influences the generator to which it is assigned in such a manner that the
real power setpoint at the mains interchange (import/export) real power (primary control variable) remains con-
stant. All controls are interlinked via a CAN bus, via which any deviation in real power (generator power) can be
determined for each generator. This control variable is taken into consideration on controlling the interchange
load. The weighting, with which the secondary and the primary control variable (= "reference variable") are
processed, can be set via a factor. In controlled state, the configured real power flows at the mains interchange
point, whereby the total real power is subdivided equally amongst those generators involved in distribution con-
trol. If a constant power (F..fixed value) has been entered as the setpoint value for a generator, this generator is
no longer involved in distribution control.
Isolated operation in parallel: Each controller involved in load/var sharing influences the genenerator to which
it is assigned in such a manner that the rated frequency (primary control variable) which has been configured re-
mains constant. All controls are interlinked via a CAN bus, via which any deviation in generator real power
(generator power) can be determined for each generator. This control variable is taken into consideration on con-
trolling the frequency. The weighting, with which the secondary and the primary control variable (= "reference
variable") are processed, can be set via a factor. In controlled state, the isolated system has the configured rated
frequency, whereby the total real power (in reference to the relevant rated power) is subdivided equally amongst
those gensets involved in distribution control.
Reverse synchronization of the busbar to the mains: Distribution is carried out according to the type of iso-
lated operation. However, the setpoint value for the frequency is formed from the mains frequency (+/-0.1 Hz).
The relay outputs "Command: close GCB" for all controls can be switched in parallel.
Prerequisites: The rated system frequencies, the start/stop parameters, and the breaker logics are set to the same
values for all controls involved in distribution control.
Description of the interface for distribution control: Distribution control is based on a multi-master-capable
bus between the controls. This structure enables the parallel operation of up to 8 gensets.
The following must be noted to ensure proper operation:

The maximum bus length must not exceed 250 meters.
The bus must be terminated at each end with terminating resistors which correspond to the wave impedance
of the bus cable (approx. 80-120 ).
The bus must be of a linear structure. Dead-end feeders are not permissible.
Screened "Twister-Pairs" are preferable for use as the bus cable (Ex.: Lappkabel Unitronic LIYCY (TP)
220.25, UNITRONIC-Bus LD 220.22).
The bus cable must not be routed in the vicinity of heavy current power lines.

Figure 3-4: CAN bus load/var sharing, wiring diagram
Diagram of load/var sharing via the CAN bus: Whether, and the manner in which, a generator carries out real
power or frequency control in isolated operation in parallel with other gensets, is defined by the "real power dis-
tribution reference variable." Parameter in %. In this case, 10 % means increased real power control, and 99 %
increased frequency control. This parameter must be configured individually for each generator.
In the case of the following control system, it must be noted that each control calculates the mean utilization fac-
tor of all controls from the data transmitted via the CAN bus, and then compares this with its own utilization fac-
tor. The utilization factor is compared with the reference variable, and results in the new reference variable. Fre-
quency and real power control are simultaneously carried out in this controls (corresponding to the reference
variable).
Frequency control is carried out via the measured voltage/frequency of the voltage system. The Pickup is used
merely for monitoring functions, or is available as an current control value to the secondary controller.

NOTE
Please be aware that load sharing (Parameter 92) must remain configured to "ON", regardless of
whether an additional generator is available for a load sharing, in order to enable a automatic start/stop
to be carried out .
NOTE
To carry out an automatic start/stop of the engine, all participating controls have to be configured with
the identical rated power (Parameter 23).

Load-dependent start/stop in mains parallel operation

Parameter 97
Load dependent start/stop: enable via terminal 3 ON/OFF
Loadd.start/stop
at ter.3 ON ON................ If the control input "Automatic 1" (terminal 3) is set, an automatic
start/stop is performed on the basis of the generator setpoint real
power 1 (Parameter 37). If terminal 5 is set simultaneously, termi-
nal 3 has priority. The subsequent screens of this function are dis-
played.
OFF.............. No automatic start/stop is performed. The adjustment of the pre-
specified setpoint value is carried out under all circumstances, and the
subsequent screens of this function are not displayed.
Parameter 98
Load dependent start/stop: enable via terminal 5 ON/OFF
Loadd.start/stop
at ter.5 ON ON................ If the control input "Automatic 2" (terminal 5) is set, an automatic
start/stop is performed on the basis of the generator setpoint real
power 2 (Parameter 38). If terminal 3 is set simultaneously, termi-
nal 3 has priority. The subsequent screens of this function are dis-
played.
OFF.............. No automatic start/stop is performed. The adjustment of the pre-
specified setpoint value is carried out under all circumstances, and the
subsequent screens of this function are not displayed.
Single generator in mains parallel operation
The load-dependent start/stop function is activated when
the operation mode AUTOMATIC has been selected and
interchange power control (import/export power) has been activated by one of the two discrete inputs ("Auto-
matic 1" or "Automatic 2") (" I " or " E " power) and
one or both parameters "Load-dependent start/stop on terminal 3/5" (Parameter 97 or Parameter 98) has been
configured to "ON".
Parameter 99
Load dependent start/stop: generator minimum setpoint power 0-6,900 kW
Minimum load
generator 0000kW Mains interchange (import/export) real power control requires a generator power
setpoint value. In many cases, starting of the engine should only performed once a
certain generator power setpoint value has been reached, in order to operate the
generator with a reasonable degree of efficiency. For example: At least 40 kW of
real power have to be supplied by the generator before the engine is to be started.
Parameter 100
Load dependent start/stop: start delay 0-999 s
Add-on delay
mains oper. 000s Starting may be delayed even if the generator start power limit has been reached. In
order to avoid starting the engine in the event of short-term load switch-ons, a start
delay may be entered here in seconds. The start power (Parameter 99) must there-
fore be present without interruption during this period of time, in order to ensure
that the engine is started.
Parameter 101
Load dependent start/stop: stop delay 0-999 s
Shed-off delay
mains oper. 000s Stopping can be delayed even if the generator stop power limit has been reached. In
order to avoid switching the engine off in the event of short-term load interruptions,
a stop delay may be entered here in seconds. The stop power (Parameter 102) must
therefore be present without interruption during this period of time, in order to en-
sure that the engine is stopped.

Stopping hysteresis
NOTE
The following Parameter 102 is used to determine stopping hysteresis for single gensets in mains par-
allel operation, for generators connected to other generators in mains parallel operation and in isolated
operation in parallel with other gensets. However, the parameter appears only once at this point.
Parameter 102
Load dependent start/stop: hysteresis 0-9,999 kW
Hysteresis add-.
on/off op.0000kW The stop power of the generator is determined via a hysteresis. The hysteresis is
used to prevent the engine continuously starting and shutting down again.
Mains parallel operation (mains interchange (import/export) real power control with one generator)
General
Case 1: Start of the engine

If [PNT.Setpoint - PNT.actual > Pstart] the engine starts. (a)
Case 2: Stop of the engine

If [PNT.setpoint - PNT.actual + PGN.actual.tot < Pstart - PHyst] the engine stops. (b)
Example
The power supplied by the mains, which is to be adjusted, is 50 kW. This value is entered into the setpoint value
screen (see chapter "Controller") as "I0050kW". The generator should be operated with at least 30 kW.
PNT.setpoint = -50 kW Incoming/import power has to be entered negative, output/export power positive.
Pstar = 30 kW The minimum power requested by the generator.
PHyst = 10 kW The power hysteresis for stopping.
When inserted into the above mentioned formula, this means:
Case 1: The engine starts with the following import mains power: If formula (a) is inverted, this results in
[PNT.actual < PNT.setpoint - Pstart] PNT.actual< - 50 kW - 30 kW = -80 kW "I0080 kW"
The power supplied by the mains must be at least 80 kW in order for the engine to start. This is then oper-
ated with a minimum power of 30 kW.
Case 2: The engine stops if it has to supply less than the minimum power minus hysteresis. This is the case with
the following generator power: If formula (b) is inverted, this results in
[PGN.actual = stop power engine < - PNT.setpoint+ PNT.actual + Pstart - Physt].

[PGN.actual < - 50 kW + 50 kW + 30 kW - 10 kW = 20 kW.
If the generator falls below its minimum power minus hysteresis, the engine is stopped. The power im-
ported from the mains therefore remains at the value which is to be controlled until just prior to stopping.
Following stopping, the power supplied by the mains increases to 70 kW.

Load sharing with other generators in mains parallel operation

The load-dependent start/stop function is activated when, for every control,
interchange power control (import/export power) has been activated by one of the two discrete inputs ("Auto-
matic 1" or "Automatic 2") (" E "- or " I " power) and
all parameters, such as start/stop power, start/stop delays, selected setpoint values are identical for all genera-
tors involved and
one or both parameters "Load-dependent stop/start on terminal 3/5" has been configured to "ON" and
the parameter "Load sharing" or. "var sharing" have been configured to "ON" and
the same rated power is available to all generators.
NOTE
The following Parameter 103 only becomes effective if another engine is to be started in mains parallel
operation. The first engine is started as described under single generator in mains parallel operation
on the basis of the minimum generator power.
Parameter 103
Load dependent start/stop: reserve power 0-9,999 kW
Reserve power
mains op. 0000kW Starting of an additional engine is determined via the reserve power. The reserve
power results from the currently available total generator rated real power (genera-
tor rated real power number of closed GCB's) and the currently available total
generator actual real power. If the currently available total generator actual real
power is subtracted from the currently available total generator rated real power,
this results in the system's reserve power. If negative deviation from this reserve
power occurs, the next engine is started.
Currently available total generator rated real power

- Currently available total generator actual real power
= Reserve power
Parameter 104
Load dependent start/stop: priority of generators 0-14
Priority of
generators 0 This priority specifies the sequence in which the individual engines are started. The
control for which the smallest number has been configured has the highest priority.
This engine is the first to be started and the last to be stopped. In the event of iden-
tical priorities, the starting sequence is determined by the operating hours. In this
case, the engine with fewer operating hours takes priority. In the event of the same
number of operating hours, the engine with the smaller control number (generator
number, Parameter 4) is started.

Mains parallel operation(mains interchange (import/export) real power control with several generators)
General
Case 3: Start of the first engine

There is still no GCB closed in the group.
If [PNT.setpoint - PNT.actual > Pstart] the first engine is started. (c)
Case 4: Starting of additional engines

At least one GCB in the group is closed.
If [PGN.actual.tot + Preserve.parallel > Prated.tot] the next engine is started. (d)
Case 5: Stopping
At least two GCB's in the group are closed.
If [PGN.act.tot + Preserve.parallel + Physt + Prated < Prated.tot] a engine is stopped. (e)
Case 6: Stopping of the last engine

Only one GCB in the group is closed.
If [PNT.setpoint - PNT.actual + PGN.actual.tot < Pstart - Physt] the last engine is stopped. (f)
Example
The real power supplied by the mains, which is to be adjusted, is 0 kW. This value is entered as the setpoint
value (see chapter "Controllers") as "I0000kW" (corresponds to "E0000kW"). The reserve power in the system
should be 40 kW. The power hysteresis should be 20 kW. Three generators are to be operated within the group.
The rated power of a generator is 200 kW. The minimum power of a generator should be 30 kW.
PRated = 200 kW Rated power of a generator.

PRated.tot Total of the rated power values of the gensets with closed GCB's.
PStart.tot = 30 kW Minimum power of a generator.
PNT.actual Current mains power.
PNT.setpoint = B0000 kW Setpoint mains power
PReserve.Parallel = 40 kW Reserve power in mains parallel operation
PHyst = 20 kW Power hysteresis
No. GCB Number of closed GCB's
Case 3: Power supplied by the mains, with which the first engine is started:
PNT.actual < PNT.setpoint - Pstart.gen.

PNT.actual < 0 kW - 30 kW = -30 kW I0030 kW.
The power supplied by the mains must be at least 30 kW in order for the first engine to start. This is then
operated with a minimum power of 30 kW.
Case 4: Generator real power, at which the second engine is started:
PGN.actual > Prated.tot - (PReserve.Parallel / No. GCB).

PGN.actual > 200 kW (40 kW / 1) = 160 kW.
If the generator real power exceeds 160 kW, negative deviation from the pre-specified reserve power has
occurred. As a result of this, the next engine is started.

Case 4: Generator real power of each individual generator, at which the third engine is started:
PGN.actual > Prated.tot - (Preserve.parallel / No. GCB) - Prated.

PGN.actual. > 400 kW (40 kW / 2) - 200 kW = 180 kW.
If the generator real power of both generators exceeds 360 kW (each generator supplies more than
180 kW), negative deviation from the pre-specified reserve power has occurred. As a result of this, the
next engine is started.
Case 5: Generator real power of each individual generators, at which one engine is stopped:
PGN.actual.tot < Prated.tot - Preserve.parallel - Prated - Physt.

PGN.actual.tot < 600 kW - 40 kW - 200 kW - 20 kW = 340 kW.
(PGN.actual < PGN.actual.tot ) / No. GCB = 340 kW / 3 = 113.3 kW.
If the generator real power of the three generators falls below 340 kW (each individual generator below
113.3 kW), one engine is stopped. After one engine has been stopped, the reserve power is still available.
Case 5: Generator real power of each individual generator, at which one of the two engines is stopped:
PGN.actual.tot < Prated.tot - Preserve.parallel - Prated - Physt.

(PGN.actual < PGN.actual.tot) / No. GCB = 140 kW / 2 = 70 kW.
If the generator real power of the two generators falls below 140 kW (each individual genertor below
70 kW), one engine is stopped. After the engine has been stopped, the reserve power is still available.
Case 6: Generator real power, at which the last engine is stopped:
PGN.actual < - PNT.setpoint + PNT.actual + Pstart.gen - Physt.

PGN.actual. < - 0 kW + 0 kW + 30 kW - 20 kW = 10 kW.
If the generator falls below its minimum real power minus hysteresis, the engine is stopped. The power
imported from the mains therefore remains at the value which is to be controlled until just prior to stop-
ping. Following stopping, the power supplied by the mains increases to 10 kW.

Isolated operation in parallel with other generators

The load-dependent start/stop function is activated when, for every control
all parameters, such as start power (Parameter 99), stop power (Parameter 102), start delay (Parameter 100),
stop delay (Parameter 101) and the frequency setpoint values (Parameter 10) are identical for all controls in-
volved and
one or both parameters "Load-dependent stop/start on terminal 3/5" (Parameter 97 or Parameter 98) has been
configured to "ON" and
the parameters "Load sharing" (Parameter 92) or "var sharing" (Parameter 94) have been set to "ON" and
the same rated power (Parameter 23) is available to all generators.
NOTE
The reserve power (Parameter 105) should be selected in such a manner that expected load surges can
be covered by the generator.
Parameter 105
Load dependent start/stop: reserve power (isolated operation) 0-9,999 kW
Reserve power
isol.op. 0000kW Starting of an additional engine is determined via the reserve power. The reserve
power results from the currently available total generator rated real power (genera-
tor rated real power number of closed GCB's) and the currently available total
generator actual real power. If the currently available total generator actual real
power is subtracted from the currently available total generator rated real power,
this results in the system's reserve power. If negative deviation from this reserve
power occurs, the next engine is started.
Currently available total generator rated real power

- Currently available total generator actual real power
= Reserve power
Parameter 106
Load dependent start/stop: start delay (isolated operation) 0-999 s
Add-on delay
isol.op. 000s Starting may be delayed even if the engine's start power (Parameter 99) has been
reached. In order to avoid starting the engine in the event of short-term load switch-
ons, a start delay may be entered in seconds. The start power (Parameter 99) must
therefore be present without interruption during this period of time, in order to en-
sure that the engine is started.
Parameter 107
Load dependent start/stop: stop delay (isolated operation) 0-999 s
Shed-off delay
isol.op. 000s Stopping can be delayed even if the engine's stop power (Parameter 102) has been
reached. In order to avoid switching the engine off in the event of short-term load
interruptions, a stop delay may be entered in seconds. The stop power (Para-
meter 102) must therefore be present without interruption during this period of time,
in order to ensure that the engine is stopped.

General
Case 7: Start of the engine

If [PGN.actual.tot + Preserve.isolated + > Prated.tot] the engine is started. (f)
Case 8: Stop of the engine

If [PGN.actual.tot + Preserve.isolated + Physt + Prated + < Prated.tot] the engine is stopped. (g)
Example
Two generators are used in isolated operation in parallel with other generators. One generator should always be
in operation.
Prated = 200 kW Rated real power of a genset.

PReserve.isolated = 60 kW
Physt = 30 kW
Case 8: Generator real power, at which the second engine is started:
PGN.actual > Prated.tot - Preserve.isolated.

PGN.actual > 200 kW - 60 kW = 140 kW.
If the generator real power exceeds 140 kW negative deviation from the pre-specified minimum reserve
power occurs. As a result of this, the next engine is started.
Case 9: Generator real power, at which the second engine is stopped:
PGN.actual.tot < Prated.tot - Preserve.isolated - Prated - Physt.

PGN.actual < PGN.actual.tot / No. GCB = 110 kW / 2 = 55 kW.
If, in the case of outgoing isolated load, the total actual generator real power is reduced to such an extent
that one generator is enough to ensure the reserve power, the second engine is stopped.
Stop Of The Engine At Mains Failure [GCP-31]

stopped. Once the mains returns and the mains settling time (Para-
meter 202) has expired, the engine is started and the GCB is synchro-
nized.

opened. The engine is running in idle mode. Once the mains returns
and the mains settling time (Parameter 202) has expired, the GCB is

Alarms can be acknowledged.

Breaker Logic
NOTE
Using the discrete input "Breaker logic" it can be switched between two different breaker logics (de-
scription on page 105). The desired standard breaker logic is configured via the following parameter
(Parameter 113). If the discrete input terminal 64 is configured to "Control input" (Parameter 214; Para-
meter is ON) and if there is a signal to the terminal the configured breaker logic is used (Parameter 120;
see chapter "Change breaker logic via terminal 64" at page 105). If the signal is reset, the breaker logic
of the following parameter (Parameter 113) is valid again. Therefore it is possible during the operation
i.e. to change between the breaker logic "PARALLEL" (automatic synchronizing) and "EXTERNAL"
(manual synchronizing).
Parameter 113
Breaker logic see below
Breaker logic:
---------------- The control automatically controls the two breakers (MCB and GCB). In this case,
up to five control functions (modes) may be selected. These are:
GCP-31 GCP-32
EXTERNAL EXTERNAL
PARALLEL PARALLEL
--- OPEN TRANSIT.
--- CLOSED TRANSIT.
--- INTERCHANGE

Breaker Logic "PARALLEL"
Parallel operation is enabled via configuration of the parameter (Parameter 113) to "PARALLEL".
NOTE
This breaker logic must be selected for the following operation modes:
Isolated operation,
isolated operation in parallel with other generators, and
mains parallel operation.
In the event of an engine request,

the GCB is synchronized and closed, and
the necessary generator real power or reactive power is controlled.
Following the withdrawal of the engine request,

the generator power is reduced, the generator power factor is controlled to "1",
the GCB is opened, and
the engine is shut down following cool down.
[GCP-32] The MCB is synchronized and closed if

terminal 53 "Enable MCB" has been set, and
the GCB is closed.
[GCP-32] The MCB is switched to the dead busbar if

the GCB and
the MCB are opened, and
the busbar is dead (voltage free), and
terminal 53 "Enable MCB" has been set.
NOTE
On stopping the engine (no F3 alarm), softloading (power reduction) is carried out before opening the
GCB.

Breaker Logic "INTERCHANGE" [GCP-32]
Mains interchange (import/export) real power control is enabled via configuration of the parameter (Para-
meter 113) to "INTERCHANGE".
NOTE
In order to perform this function correctly, you have to obey that the mains power measurement is
connected properly. The sign of the power measurement has to be determined correctly as well.
In the event of an engine request, a change is made from mains to generator supply. In order to achieve this,
the GCB is synchronized and closed,
the mains interchange (import/export) real power is controlled to "zero" and
the MCB is opened.
After the engine request has been reset, a change is made from generator to mains supply. In order to achieve
this,
the MCB is synchronized and closed,
the generator real power is adjusted to "zero" and
the GCB is opened.
Breaker Logic "CLOSED TRANSIT." [GCP-32]
Closed transition (no-break-transfer/overlap synchronization) is enabled via configuration of the parameter

(Parameter 113) to "CLOSED TRANSIT.".
the GCB is synchronized and closed and
the MCB is opened.
this,
the MCB is synchronized and closed and
the GCB is opened.
NOTE
The breakers are opened regardless of the power.

Breaker Logic "OPEN TRANSIT." [GCP-32]
Open transition (break-before-make/change over logic) is enabled via configuration of the parameter (Para-
meter 113) to "OPEN TRANSIT.".
the MCB is opened and
the GCB is closed.
this,
the GCB is opened and
the MCB is closed.
Breaker Logic "EXTERNAL"
External breaker logic is enabled via configuration of the parameter (Parameter 113) to "EXTERNAL".
All breaker control must be carried out via a superordinate controller (e. g. a PLC). Closing and opening pulses
to the MCB and the GCB are only issued by this control (GCP) in the operation mode MANUAL. In the event of
an alarm, the breakers are opened by this control (GCP) under all circumstances.

Stop: The power of the generator is reduced, at most, for the time set here. If, within
this time, negative deviation from 3 % of the generator rated power (Parameter 23)
does not occur, the GCB is still opened.
Start with softloading: If the mains interchange (import/export) real power value
does not reach 0 kW in breaker logic "INTERCHANGE" within the time configured
here, a alarm message and an alarm class 1 alarm are issued. At the same time, the re-
lay manager relay, which is programmed with relay manager function 78 is set.

Parameter 98) are configured to "ON". The generator is in isolated operation and at
least one additional generator is connected to a busbar.
If an alarm class 2 alarm occurs, shutdown the engine may be delayed by this time.
Another engine is therefore given the opportunity to start in order to assume the load.
Shutdown is activated following the expiry of this time.

GCB Pulse/Continuous Pulse

Closing and opening of the GCB and the MCB are described in the following figures (Figure 3-6 and
Figure 3-7). Changing of the breaker control logic is configured via the following parameter (Parameter 116) and
has the described effect on the signal sequence (the operation of the MCB cannot be carried out by means of the
continuous pulse). If the "Automatic breaker deblocking" (Parameter 124) is configured to "ON", an open pulse
is issued prior to each close pulse. The discrete input "Enable MCB" (terminal 54) enables/disables closing the
MCB. A closed MCB is not opened.

until the breaker is closed.
OFF ..............Circuit breaker initialization on closing is carried out only via the
connect impulse. No open impulse is issued prior to the close pulse.

Synchronization Time Monitoring (With Synchronous Generators Only)

If the following parameter (Parameter 125) is configured to "ON", synchronization time monitoring is per-
formed: If the synchronization of the GCB or [GCP-32] MCB is started, the time counter is started following the
expiry of the delayed engine monitoring. If, following the expiry of the configured time, the breaker has not been
closed, an alarm message is issued as an F1 alarm.
NOTE
If during an enabled "MCB monitoring" (Parameter 140) an alarm is detected on closing the MCB, a
emergency power operation is performed (if this has been configured to ON; Parameter 146).
Parameter 125

connect impulse. No open impulse is issued prior to the close pulse.

Connect Time Monitoring (With Induction/Asynchronous Generators Only)

If the following parameter (Parameter 136) is configured to "ON", closing time monitoring is performed: If the
closing of the GCB is started, the time counter is started following the expiry of the delayed engine monitoring.
If, following the expiry of the configured time, the breaker has not been closed, an alarm message is issued as an
F1 alarm.

If, following the expiry of the set time, the power circuit breaker was not closed, a
warning message "Connect time GCB" is output. A further attempt is made to con-
nect the power circuit breaker. The relay with relay manager function 16 (GCB)
and/or 70 (MCB) will be set.

Breaker Monitoring
Upon CLOSING - If the "GCB monitoring" (Parameter 139) and/or "MCB monitoring" (Parameter 140) has
been configured to "ON", GCB and/or MCB monitoring is performed (exception: the breaker logic is configured
to "EXTERNAL"; Parameter 113). If the breaker cannot be closed by the fifth attempt, an alarm class F1 is is-
sued. If the relay manager is available a relay is set with the relay manager function 74 or 75.
Upon OPENING - If the reply, that the GCB or MCB are still closed, is detected 2 seconds after a CLOSE pulse
has been issued (opening of GCB or MCB), an alarm message of alarm class F1 is issued. If a relay manager is
available, a relay is set with relay manager function 76 or 77.

WARNING
During maintenance at the busbar take into account that an open MCB will be closed by the GCP with
the expire of the mains settling time (Parameter 202; starts when the mains returns) when the following
parameter (Parameter 144) is configured to "YES". Configure the parameter to "NO" or prevent the bus-
bar to be energized.
Parameter 144
Operate MCB in operation mode STOP YES/NO
Switch MCB in
STOP mode NO YES .............. The MCB will be operated by the GCP in operation mode STOP, i.e.
the busbar will be supplied also in case of changing into this opera-
tion mode. Thereto it is necessary that the "Enable MCB" is set.
NO................ The MCB will not be operated by the GCP in operation mode STOP,
i.e. the busbar will not be supplied or remains unsupplied in case of
changing into this operation mode.

Emergency Power (AMF)

Parameter 145
Configuration of the emergency power (AMF) YES/NO
Configure
emergency YES Various groups of parameters are grouped together in blocks to allow to navigate
NOTE
Emergency power is possible only with synchronous generators with 2 breakers, i.e. GCP-32 and the
GCP-31 with LS 4 coupling.
Prerequisite: The emergency power (AMF) function can be activated only in the case of synchronous generators
via the Parameter 145("Emergency power"). Emergency power is carried out in operation mode AUTOMATIC
or TEST regardless of the status of the discrete inputs "Automatic 1" and "Automatic 2".
NOTE
If the "Engine enable" or "Engine block" function is assigned to terminal 6 (Parameter 219), emergency
power can be discretely prevented or interrupted from an external source. Please refer also to the de-
scription in chapter "Terminal 6" on page 107.
Activation of emergency power: If the mains voltage has a fault (over-/undervoltage, -frequency or
phase/vector jump) on at least one of the terminals 50/51/52 for the duration of the emergency power start delay
time (Parameter 147), emergency power is activated. A mains voltage fault is defined as follows: If the mains
watchdogs are configured to ON (Parameter 188 and/or Parameter 193), the limit values set there are used; oth-
erwise, the limits are internally defined as follows:
Mains watchdogs Voltage Frequency

ON Monitoring values (see Parameter 188ff) Monitoring values (see Parameter 193ff)
OFF Umains < 85 % Vrated fmains < 90 % frated
Umains > 112 % Vrated fmains > 110 % frated
Table 3-6: Limit values, Emergency power
Emergency power (AMF) is also triggered via the detection of a breaker alarm when the MCB is closed. In order
to achieve this, Parameter 146 ("Emergency power) and Parameter 140 ("MCB monitoring") have to be config-
ured to "ON".

The following principles are observed in the case of emergency power:
If emergency power is triggered, the engine is started under all circumstances, unless the sequence is inter-
rupted via an alarm or the change of the operation mode.
If the mains returns during starting, the MCB is not opened. The engine starts under all circumstances, and
remains for the expire of the mains settling time (Parameter 202). If a further mains fault occurs during this
time, the MCB is opened, and the GCB is closed to the dead busbar. The engine otherwise shuts down fol-
lowing the expiry of the mains settling time (2 Parameter 202).
The GCB will be closed regardless of the engine delay time once the dead bus limits have been reached.
If the mains returns during emergency power (GCB is closed), the mains settling time (Parameter 202) has to
be expired prior to reverse synchronize of the MCB.
Emergency power: In the event of an active emergency power, the message "Emergency power" is displayed.
Emergency Power With Breaker Logic "PARALLEL"
Emergency power: Following a mains fault the "emergency power start delay" (Parameter 147) has to be ex-
pired before the engine is started. Once reaching the voltage and frequency limit values, the MCB is opened, and
the GCB is closed to the dead busbar. The generator supplies the load.
Return of the mains: Following the return of the mains the control remains in the emergency power operation
until the mains settling time has expired (Parameter 202) before reverse synchronization of the MCB is initiated.
After closing the MCB, the control changes into its original operation mode. If the engine is shut down, power
reduction is carried out if the real power controller is configured to ON (Parameter 76).
If the mains returns during starting, the MCB is not opened. During the mains settling time (Parameter 202), the
engine operates in idle operation, in order to enable the immediate closing of the GCB in the event of further
mains faults.
Emergency Power With Breaker Logic "OPEN TRANSIT."
until the mains settling time has expired (Parameter 202) before switching back (via an open transition/over a
dead busbar) to mains supply. If, following the expiry of the mains settling time (Parameter 202), an engine re-
quest is present, the generator remains in isolated operation.
mains faults.

Emergency Power With Breaker Logic "CLOSED TRANSIT."
until the mains settling time has expired (Parameter 202). If no engine request is present the reverse synchroniza-
tion (via a closed transition/over a life busbar) to mains supply is initiated. Following the closure of the MCB the
GCB is opened immediately and without any power reduction. If, following the expiry of the mains settling time
(Parameter 202), an engine request is present, the generator remains in isolated operation.
mains faults.
Emergency Power With Breaker Logic "INTERCHANGE"
until the mains settling time has expired (Parameter 202). If no engine request is present the reverse synchroniza-
tion (via a closed transition/over a life busbar) to mains supply is initiated. Following the closure of the MCB the
GCB is opened following a power reduction, as far as the real power controller (Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte
nicht gefunden werden.) has been configured to "ON". If, following the expiry of the mains settling time (Para-
meter 202), an engine request is present, the generator remains in isolated operation.

Emergency power with breaker logic "EXTERNAL"
ATTENTION
Emergency power in accordance with DIN VDE 0108 is not possible in this breaker logic!
the GCB is closed to the dead busbar. The generator supplies the load. The GCB and the MCB are not otherwise
operated. Not even following the return of the mains.
Emergency power with MCB malfunction
MCB malfunction: In the operation mode AUTOMATIC without a starting request, the control is in emergency
power standby. If the MCB is opened without initiation, the control tries to close the breaker. If this is not possi-
ble (due to an MCB failure), the engine is started with the alarm message "MCB malfunction", if Parameter 145
("Emergency power") and Parameter 140 ("Supervision MCB") are configured to "ON". Emergency power sub-
sequently supplies the busbar. Following the successful acknowledgement of the "MCB malfunction" alarm, the
load is reverse synchronized from generator supply to mains supply and the engine shut off again on expiry of
the mains settling time (Parameter 202).

Mains Frequency Monitoring

Monitoring the mains frequency is absolutely vital if a generator is operated within a public network. In the event
of mains failure (e. g. short interruption) the generator which is operating in parallel with the mains must be auto-
matically disconnected from the mains. Decoupling from the mains is only activated when both power circuit
breakers (MCB and GCB) are closed.
The here fixed limit values are used for assessment of the emergency power operation in case that the following
protective items are switched to "ON". On the basis of the here fixed limit values it is defined whether mains is

Mains Voltage Monitoring

Monitoring the mains voltage is absolutely vital if a generator is operated within a public network. In the event of
mains failure (e. g. short interruption) the generator which is operating in parallel with the mains must be auto-
matically disconnected from the mains.
The line-to-line (wye) voltage is monitored in each case.
The here fixed limit values are used for assessment of the emergency power operation in case that the following
protective items are switched to "ON". On the basis of the here fixed limit values it is defined whether mains is
present or not. The tripping times will not be noticed.
Function: "Mains voltage not within the permissible range" - At least one phase of the mains voltage lies outside
of the limit values set for over- or undervoltage. The power circuit breaker, which is to carry out decoupling from
the mains, is immediately opened. The prerequisite of mains voltage monitoring is mains parallel operation (both
power circuit breakers closed).

be opened.
Parameter 197
Mains undervoltage delay 0.02-9.98 s

Phase/Vector Shift Monitoring d/dt
A phase/vector shift is a sudden change in the voltage curve, and may be caused by a major generator load
change. In this case, the measuring circuit detects a change in the cycle duration once. This change in the cycle
duration is compared with a calculated mean value from previous measurements. Monitoring encompasses all
three phases. The threshold value in degrees specifies the difference in time between the mean and the current
value in reference to a full cycle. Monitoring can be set in various manners. The phase/vector shift watchdog
may be used as an additional facility for decoupling from the mains. The minimum voltage at which the phase
shift is activated is 70 % of the rated secondary voltage.
Function: "Voltage cycle duration not within the permissible range" - The voltage cycle duration exceeds the
configured limit value for the phase/vector shift. The breaker configured to be used for mains decoupling is
opened. The requirement therefore is a mains parallel operation (both breakers are closed). An alarm message is
displayed.

Parameter 199

Monitoring
---------------- one-/threephase During single-phase voltage phase/vector shift monitoring, trip-
ping occurs if the phase/vector shift exceeds the configured threshold
value (Parameter 200) in at least one of the three phases. Note: If a
phase/vector shift occurs in one or two phases, the single-phase
threshold value (Parameter 200) is taken into consideration; if a
phase/vector shift occurs in all three phases, the three-phase threshold
value (Parameter 201) is taken into consideration. The single phase
monitoring is very sensitive, and may lead to false tripping if the se-
lected phase angle settings are too small.
only threephase During three-phase voltage phase/vector shift monitoring, tripping
occurs only if the phase/vector shift exceeds the specified threshold
value (Parameter 201) in all three phases within 2 cycles.

NOTE
If monitoring is configured to "threephase", only the second of the following two parameters is visi-
ble; if monitoring is configured to "one-/threephase", both parameters are visible.

Mains Settling Time

Parameter 202
Mains settling time 0-999 s
Mains settling
time 000s In order to disable the reverse synchronization of the generator to the mains for a
certain time, the delay time for which the generator is to remain in idle or isolated
(parallel) operation can be configured with this parameter. The following applies in
the case of generators with 1-power circuit breaker, which are to be operated in par-
allel with the mains: If the mains fails for the duration of the mains settling time, the
engine is stopped. If the mains is available for at least 5 seconds without any inter-
ruption, the engine is started.
Note
If both circuit breakers (GCP-32) are open, the mains settling time is reduced to 2
seconds when the mains return, for the case that this is configured longer.

Configuring The Text For The Discrete Inputs
NOTE
If terminal 6 is configured to "Sprinkler operation" (override or critical mode; Parameter 218) or if a gas
engine is selected (Parameter 261), the EMERGENCY STOP function must always be assigned to ter-
minal 34. If terminal 34 is not a discrete input, the EMERGENCY STOP function is assigned to the dis-
crete input with the lowest terminal number (this discrete input is then normally the input with terminal
number 61).
Example: Alarm text terminal 34
NOTE
Certain special characters, numbers, high case and low case letters may be set.
Parameter 211
Setting the alarm texts
Errortxt.term.34
EMERGENCY OFF These parameters are used to enter the alarm texts (in this example for terminal 34
the alarm text "EMERGENCY OFF"). The EMERGENCY OFF function should
generally be assigned to terminal 34.

Control Inputs

Parameter 212
Firing speed reached via terminal 62 ON/OFF
Firing speed by
Term. 62 ON OFF.............. This terminal is used as an alarm input.
ON................ The logic to be configured applies to the starting sequence:
If the discrete input is configured to "E" (NO; Parameter 207), the
starter is dis-engaged when the status of this discrete input becomes
TRUE. Once the delayed engine monitoring time has been exceeded,
"NO" is still programmed, however, internally, the control changes to
a "NC" logic, in order to enable the generation of an alarm tripping in
the event of a voltage loss (including a configured time delay). The
same principle, inverted, also applies to the "NC" logic. The discrete
input is configured to "D" (NC; Parameter 207), to dis-engage the
starter in the event of a voltage loss. Once the delayed engine moni-
toring has been exceeded, the discrete input is internally changed to
"NO" logic and is therefore tripped as soon as voltage is applied. The
here adjusted logic applies for the start operation.

High level If this terminal is applied to a high level, the GCB is
served/closed before the delayed engine monitoring
has been expired.
Low level If this terminal is applied to a low level, the GCB is
served/closed after the delayed engine monitoring has
been expired.
Enable 'Idle mode' via terminal 70

Parameter 217
Enable idle mode via terminal 70 ON/OFF
Leerlaufmodus
ber Kl.70 EIN OFF ..............This terminal is used as an alarm input.
IN..................This terminal is used as control input. The relay programmed with the
relay manager function 133 reacts together with the logical status of
the terminal 70 according to the configured NO/NC logic and invert-
ing at the relay output. This relay has to be wired to the "idle input"
of the speed governor normally.
High level Setting the discrete input terminal 70 enables the idle
mode. Within all operation modes (except in opera-
tion mode STOP), the message "Idle Mode" is dis-
played with setting the start request and for the
postrun time if there is no other message like e.g. pre-
glow. In the idle mode the protection for generator
undervoltage and underfrequency are disabled. At the
same time, the limit value warning of the VDO input
oil pressure is suppressed. The protection becomes
active once the terminal 70 has been reset and the
current frequency deviates from the rated frequency
at a maximum of 1 Hz (to the negative). If this fre-
quency range can not be reached within 60 s the pro-
tection is enabled.
Low level The idle mode will be disabled and the protection be-
comes active again (see above description).

Terminal 6
ATTENTION
The various functions of terminal 6 are enabled at different signal levels!
Parameter 218
Function of terminal 6
Function term.6
---------------- This parameter is used to assign a function to the discrete control input terminal 6.
A selection may be made from among the following functions:
Sprinkler operation By resetting terminal 6 (setting a low level) sprinkler operation (critical mode) is enabled in
accordance with the functional description. The sprinkler operation is terminated by setting
terminal 6 (application of a High signal; for the description of the function of the sprinkler
operation, please also observe Chapter "Sprinkler operation"; page 108).
Attention: Negative functional logic!
Engine enabled Terminal 6 in this case has the same function as the STOP push-button: Resetting terminal 6
(application of a LOW signal) prevents the engine's starting, and stops the engine if this is
already running; the application of a HIGH signal enables the starting of the engine
Attention: Via this function, emergency power operation is also prevented or aborted.
Emergency power is not possible without this function enabled! The engine enable function
is possible only in operation mode AUTOMATIC.
Ext. acknowledgment In the operation modes STOP and AUTOMATIC alarms can be acknowledged externally by
setting terminal 6 (change of slope from a LOW to a HIGH signal). In order to achieve fur-
ther acknowledgement, terminal 6 must first be reset and then set again. If a continuous
HIGH signal is present at terminal 6, this has no effect on the acknowledgement and sup-
pression of alarm messages.
STOP mode By setting terminal 6 (application of a HIGH signal) the STOP mode is chosen. If you re-
move this signal the mode will change into the mode which was activated before terminal 6
was set.
Engine blocked By setting terminal 6 (application of a HIGH signal) a start of the engine can be prevented. If
the engine is running because an emergency power operation is active, it is stopped by set-
ting this discrete input. The discrete input is not inverted. The engine block function is only
possible in operation mode AUTOMATIC.
Start without CB If the terminal 6 is set, the engine starts; no synchronization is carried out and the GCB is
not closed (no switching to dead busbar). The GCB is closed only if an emergency power
operation is enabled. After the return of the mains, there is a switchover to the mains accord-
ing to the configured breaker logic. The engine start via terminal 6 is of a higher value than
the start via terminals 3/5. If terminal 6 was selected, terminals 3/5 are ignored. If the gen-
erator is in mains parallel operation mode with breaker logic "Parallel" and if terminal 6 is
activated, the GCB is opened following a power reduction. The generator continues to oper-
ate without load with an opened GCB.

configured to ished (setting terminal 6 and sprinkler coasting 10 minutes).
"Sprinkler operation". OFF ..............If terminal 6 has been configured to "Sprinkler operation", the pri-
mary alarm classes will become active again after sprinkler demand
has been finished (setting terminal 6).
Sprinkler (critical) operation
NOTE
The function "Sprinkler operation" must be assigned to terminal 6.
ATTENTION
Please note that a High signal must be applied to terminal 6 so that no Sprinkler (critical) operation is
carried out. A Low signal initiates a Sprinkler (critical) operation negative functional logic.
Sprinkler "ON": If the signal at terminal 6 drops to a Low signal, the Sprinkler (critical) operation ON com-
mand is triggered. The message "Sprinkler operation" is shown on the display. Up to 6 start attempts are made to
start the engine (otherwise 3) if it is not yet in operation. All malfunctions which cause a shutdown become mes-
sages. Exception: Terminal 34 or 61 and overspeed. Terminal 34 (alarm input) retains its set alarm class (if ter-
minal 34 is not present, this is terminal 61). It is advisable to assign the EMERGENCY STOP here.

NOTE
Via the activation of a "Sprinkler operation" (terminal 6), alarm classes F2 and F3 are converted to
alarm class F1 (exception: terminal 34 or 61 and overspeed).
Alarm Class F2 and alarm class F3 Alarm class F1
"Sprinkler shutdown F1 active": Via Parameter 220 it can be chosen whether the Sprinkler alarm classes are
still active during the Sprinkler coasting or if the primary alarm class will be active after reset of the Sprinkler
(critical mode) request (terminal 6).
A distinction is made between three operating conditions:

Mains
1.) MCB is closed
MCB ( mains voltage available):
a) The engine is stopped: The engine will be started and
Busbar
the GCB will not be closed.
b) The engine runs: The GCB will be opened.

2.) MCB is opened
( mains voltage not available and the Parameter 146 "Emergency power" is ON)
G M a) The GCB will be closed or remains closed.
b) In the event of a generator overload, the GCB will be opened
following the alarm acknowledgement the GCB will be closed again.
Figure 3-10: Sprinkler operation
3.) MCB is open

( mains voltage available):
a) The MCB will be synchronized,
b) Following the synchronization of the MCB, the GCB will be opened.
Sprinkler "OFF": With disabling the Sprinkler (critical mode) discrete input (high signal to terminal 6), the
Sprinkler ON command is withdrawn; however, Sprinkler (critical mode) operation is retained. The message
"Sprinkler coasting" appears. The Sprinkler (critical mode) operation is automatically terminated 10 minutes
later. Earlier termination can be achieved via the change into the operation mode STOP. On termination of the
Sprinkler (critical mode) operation, malfunctions which cause shutdowns become active again.

Relay Manager
The relay manager enables the assignment of an arbitrary combination of functions to each relay. In order to
achieve this, each function of the control has its own number. A text, which describes a logical condition for this
relay's picking up, must now be entered in the configuration menu for each relay. Up to three numbers may be
involved in this link. The length of the text must not exceed 16 characters. The control detects incorrect function
numbers or incorrect formula constructions, and does not accept these.

Starting Sequence
If the control is equipped with a three-position frequency controller, a continuous signal (time adjustable via
Parameter 269) is output prior to starting the engine at the "Frequency down" relay output. The starter is then set.
Following the expiration of the firing delay time (Parameter 263) and if the engine is rotating with at least the
configured "minimum speed start" (Parameter 262), the ignition is turned on. Following the expiry of the gas de-
lay (Parameter 264), the gas valve is then switched on. If the starting sequence has been finished successful, i.e.,
the firing speed (Parameter 279) was exceeded, the starter is disengaged. The gas valve and the ignition are held
via the firing speed. After reaching the "starting frequency f-controller" (Parameter 41) and once the delayed en-
gine monitoring has been expired (Parameter 279), the speed controller is enabled.
Stopping Sequence
With resetting the starting request a power reduction is performed (if the real power controller is enabled, Para-
meter 76). Once the GCB has been opened, an engine cool down is performed (Parameter 277). With exceeding
the end of the engine cool down, the gas valve is closed, and the engine is stopped. If the engine speed falls be-
low the firing speed (Parameter 279), an engine starting sequence is disabled for 10 seconds. If the engine cannot
be stopped, an alarm message is issued after 30 s, and an alarm class 3 alarm is initiated.
Following negative deviation from the firing speed, the ignition remains enabled for an additional
5 seconds so that the remaining gas is able to combust.
Safety Instructions To Control Gas Valves
In order to ensure a safe shutdown of the gas valves, a separate shutdown facility has to be present.
To prevent gas from escaping over the gas line because of stuck relays, the following proceeding is recom-
mended.
Controlling gas valves with the GCP-30
The parameter 131 exists in the relay manager of the GCP-30 from V4.1001. This parameter corresponds with
the relay "Gas valve", which exists in the GCP-30, so that a relay configured like this behaves like the relay "Gas
valve".
The wiring diagram as shown in the following figure is recommended as wiring example for the gas valves in the
gas line.

Starting Sequence
If the control is equipped with a three-position frequency controller, a continuous signal (time adjustable via
Parameter 275) is output prior to starting the engine at the "Frequency down" relay output. Following the expira-
tion of this time the relay "Pre-glow" will be enabled (the pre-glow time is configurable via Parameter 270). Fol-
lowing preheating, the fuel relay is set first (adjustable via Parameter 276), followed by the crank relay. Once the
firing speed (Parameter 279) has been exceeded, the starter is disengaged, and the fuel relay is held via the firing
speed. After reaching the "starting frequency f-controller" (Parameter 41) and once the delayed engine monitor-
ing has been expired (Parameter 279), the speed controller is enabled.
Stopping Sequence
With resetting the starting request a power reduction is performed (if the real power controller is enabled, Para-
meter 76). Once the GCB has been opened, an engine cool down is performed (Parameter 277). With exceeding
the end of the engine cool down, the fuel relay is reset, and the engine is stopped. If the engine speed falls below
the firing speed (Parameter 279), an engine starting sequence is disabled for 10 seconds. If the engine cannot be

If there are several GCP-30 working in parallel on one common CAN bus all clocks are synchronized
every day at 12:00 o'clock (noon) to the time of the control with the lowest control/generator number.
Therefore it is necessary that the controls have different control numbers.

Current Slave Pointer

A current slave pointer, which records and stores the maximum generator current, is implemented in the control.
The display of the maximum generator current can be selected in the Automatic mode via the "Message" push-
button. The following screen appears in the display:

max. Gen.current The maximum generator current in the three conductors (which is stored in the con-
trol) is displayed.
Reset: The current slave pointer is reset by pressing the "QUIT" push button for
2.5 s. In order to achieve this, this screen has to be visible.

Commissioning
DANGER - HIGH VOLTAGE

When commissioning the control, 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
CAUTION
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 volt-
ages or other signals may lead to incorrect functions and damage the control as well as engines and
components connected to the control!
Sequence
1. After checking if all measuring voltages are connected in-phase, the power supply has to be applied
(12/24 Vdc).
2. By simultaneously pressing the two push-buttons "Digit" and "Cursor", the configuration and test
mode is accessed. After entering the code number, all parameters are first set (see the chapter regarding
the parameters).
3. Following the application of the supply voltage, please check that all measuring values (voltages, currents,
wattages, power circuit breakers replies) are correctly displayed.
4. First start the engine via the operation mode MANUAL (press the "MANUAL" push-button)
("START") and then stop it ("STOP"). All generator measuring values must be checked. Please also check
any messages caused by alarms.
5. Check the automatic start sequence via the operation mode TEST (press the "TEST" push-button). Test
protection caused by alarms with shutdown.

6. Operation mode "AUTO" (press the push-button "AUTO"): Automatic starting with subsequent syn-
chronization can now be carried out by applying the automatic control inputs and the engine request.
Check synchronization: Check the generator and the generator busbar rotating field. Check the connect
command with a zero voltmeter (determination of the phase angle) at the generator power circuit breaker
GCB. If several correct synchronizing pulses have been output, switch the operation mode to "STOP" and
reconnect the connect pulse "Command: close GCB" with the engine at a standstill.
7. If Points 1 to 6 have been carried out successfully, you may now initially commence mains parallel opera-
tion with a constant power (approx. 25 % of the generator rated power). Whilst this is being carried out,
the displayed measuring values must be checked. Check GCB shutdown. Check the real power controller
and, if necessary, the power factor controller. Pre-specify various setpoint values and check control.
8. If mains parallel operation is carried out in a satisfactory manner, the synchronization of the mains power
circuit breaker MCB must be checked:
At this point, at the latest, it must be ensured that a power failure in the system has been clarified or regis-
tered. During mains parallel operation, the control must be switched to operation mode MANUAL; the
mains power circuit breaker MCB is then de-activated ("MCB ON" LED is extinguished). The control
must then be switched back to operation mode AUTOMATIC.
Check the generator busbar and the mains rotating field. Check the connect command with a zero voltme-
ter (determination of the phase angle) at the mains power circuit breaker. If several correct synchronizing
pulses have been output, switch the operation mode to "STOP" and re-connect the connect pulse "Com-
mand: close MCB" with the engine at a standstill.
9. Test emergency power operation functions
NOTE
The function in automatic mode is influenced via the available input signals "Automatic 1" and "Auto-
matic 2". Make sure that the reply messages of the power circuit breakers are processed inverted, i. e.,
when the power circuit breaker is closed there must be a "reply message applied on the inputs: CB is
open" 0 V (auxiliary contact of the power circuit breaker as a break contact (NC)! - note the description
of the auxiliary and control inputs at the beginning of this manual). It is vital that these replies be con-
nected!
Electrical insulation between voltage supply and discrete control and feedback inputs: Via corresponding exter-
nal wiring, the common reference point of the discrete inputs can be electrically isolated from the supply voltage
(0 V, terminal 2). This is necessary, for example, if the discrete inputs are not to be triggered with 24 Vdc and an
electrically isolation of the control voltage (e. g. 220 Vdc, 220 Vac) from the supply voltage must be insured.

The designation 0 % stands for either 4 mA or 0 mA; the designation 100 % stands for 20 mA. The values may
also be assigned with prefixes (see relay manager function 1).
Definition of power factor cos scaling: According to the scaling of the analog output, the power factor cos
can be output within the range from capacitive values ranging from c0.00 via power factor = 1 to inductive val-
ues up to i0.00.

Receiving Telegram

The CAN protocol for remote control of the GCP is available upon request. Woodward however recommends to
use a GW 4. The following three data words can be received by the GCP. Please see in the manual of the GW 4
how you can control several GCP.

MUX

Framework Conditions To The CAN Bus

Transmission Telegram
The data of the following table can be handled by a Gateway GW 4 or a PLC and can be transferred to other bus-
ses. A GCP is sending the data via circular CAN messages.
The transmitting rate of this communication is 125 kBaud.
The CAN ID, on which the GCP is sending is calculated as follows:
CAN-ID = d800 + item/generator number (or H320 + item/generator number)
(The item number, Parameter 4, is adjustable and influences directly the CAN ID on which the item sends the
visualization message).
A visualization message which is send out of an GCP has got 8 Byte and is built as follows:
Byte 0 Byte 1 Byte 2 Byte 3 Byte 4 Byte 5 Byte 6 Byte 7

HDD MUX num- data word 1 data word 1 data word 2 data word 2 data word 3 data word 3
ber High-Byte Low Byte High-Byte Low Byte High-Byte Low Byte
In a visualization message the byte 0 is always used to show the hexadecimal value DD. This one defines the
message as a visualization message. As the complete transmission telegram of the GCP includes more than three
words byte 1 sends additionally a MUX number starting with 0. Therefore it is theoretically possible to send
(256 3 = 768) words via the CAN ID. The whole telegram is built up as follows:
Line 1: MUX number 0, word 1

.
.
Line (n): MUX number (n-1/3), word 1
Line (n+1): MUX number (n-1/2), word 2
Line (n+2): MUX number (n-1/1), word 3
n depends on the total length of the item special telegram and can not be larger than HFF.

Coding Of The Current Direction

The current direction can be recognized via the code word prefix. A positive transmitted value indicates power
export (power output, supply), a negative transmitted value indicates power import (power input, consumption).
Coding Of The Power Setpoint Value

The following power values may be pre-specified: fixed power (F power), outgoing/export power (E power) and
incoming/import power (I power). The real power setpoint value is transmitted in binary form using bits 0-13.
The control argument must be transmitted in the basis of bits 14 and 15. In this case, the following coding ap-
plies:
Control argument Bit 15 Bit 14

F power 0 1
E power 0 0
I power 1 1
Example:
F power of 150 kW is to be compensated. The value transmitted is then:
01/00 0000 1001 0110 B 4096 H
E power of 300 kW is to be compensated. The value transmitted is then:

00/00 0001 0010 1100 B 012C H
I power of 600 kW is to be compensated. Negative power is transmitted. The value transmitted is then:
11/11 1101 1010 1000 B FDA8 H
