9400200990 Rev X DGC-2020 General Information 1-1
Functions
DGC-2020 Digital Genset Controllers perform the following functions:
Generator Protection and Metering
Multifunction generator protection guards against generator overvoltage, undervoltage, reverse power,
loss of excitation, underfre quency, and overfreque ncy. Overcurrent, phase imb alance, and loss of mains
protection are available as an o ption. Each generator protection f unction has an adjustable pickup and
time delay setting. Sixteen invers e time curves en able the DGC-20 20 to offer ov ercurrent prot ection in a
variety of applications.
Metered generator parameters include voltage, current, real power (watts), apparent power (VA), and
power factor (PF).
Engine Protection and Metering
Engine protection fe atures inc lude o il press ure a nd coola nt temp eratur e mo nitorin g, overc rank pr otec tion,
ECU specific protection elements, and diagnostic reporting.
Metered engine param eters include oil press ure, coolant temperature, battery voltage, speed, f uel level,
engine load, coolant level (from ECU), ECU specific parameters, and run-time statistics.
Event Recording
An event log retains a histo ry of system events in n onvolatile mem ory. Up to 30 event ty pes are retained
and each record contains a time stamp of the first and last occurrence, a nd the number of occ ur renc es for
each event. For more informati on, se e Sec ti on 3, Fun ctiona l Des c riptio n, Ev ent Rec ordin g.
Auto-Synchronizer
An optional automatic synchronizer monitors the bus and generator voltages and supplies discrete
raise/lower correcti on signals to sy nchronize the ge nerator v oltage, frequenc y, and slip angle with that o f
the bus.
Contact Inputs and Output Contacts
DGC-2020 controllers have one, dedicated emergency stop contact input and 16 program mable contact
inputs. All contact inputs re cognize dry contacts. T he program mable inpu ts can be config ured to initiat e a
pre-alarm or alarm. A programmable input can be programmed to receive an input from an automatic
transfer switch or over ride DGC-2020 alarms and protec tion functions. Each programmable in put can be
assigned a user-defined name for easy identification at the front panel display and in fault records.
Output contacts include thr ee dedicated relays for ener gizing an engine’s glow plugs, fuel s olenoid, and
starter solenoid. An additional four user -progr amma ble outp ut cont acts are provided i f the style number is
xxAxxxxxx. If the style number is xxBxxxxxx, an additional twelve output contacts are provided.
Additional contact inputs and output contacts can be accommodated with an o ptio nal CEM-2020 (Contact

Automatic Transfer Switch Control (Mains Failure)
The DGC-2020 has the ab ility to detect a mains failur e via a single- or three-phase Bus input. A mains
failure is established when any one of the following conditions are met:
• Any phase of bus voltage falls below dead bus threshold
• Any phase of bus voltage unstable due to overvoltage or undervoltage
• Any phase of bus voltage unstable due to overfrequency or underfrequency
At this time, the DGC-2 020 will start the genset and when ready , apply power to the loa d via the gens et.
The DGC-2020 impleme nts open or closed transitio ns to and from the mains. Whe n the mains returns
and is considered sta ble, the DG C-2020 w ill transf er the load back to t he mains. When closed transitions
are required, the Auto Synchronizer option of the DGC-2020 is required in order to synchronize the
generator to the mains when transferring a load from generator power to utility power.
Communication
Standard DGC-2020 communication features include a standard USB port and SAE J1939 interface.
Optional communicat ion features include an RS-232 port for conn ection with an external dial-out modem
1-2 DGC-2020 General Information 9400200990 Rev X
and RS-485 communication port. BESTCOMSPlus® can communicate with the DGC-2020 through
Ethernet via an optional LSM-2020 (Load Share Module). Contact Basler Electric for ordering information.
USB Port
A USB communication port can be used with BESTCOMSPlus® software to quickly configure a DGC2020 with the desired settings or retrieve metering values and event log records.
CAN Bus Interface
A CAN bus interface provides high-spee d commu nication b etween the DGC-2020 and the eng ine contro l
unit (ECU) on an e lectronically contr olled engine. Th is interface provid es access to oil pres sure, coolant
temperature, and engine s peed data by reading thes e parameter s direc tly from th e ECU. When av aila ble,
engine diagnostic data can also be accessed.
The CAN bus interface also provides communication between the DGC-2020 and the Marathon
DVR2000E+ voltage regulator. Voltage setpoint and underfrequency knee-point settings can be sent
directly to the DVR2000E+ from the DGC-2020.
The CAN bus interface supports the following protocols:
•SAE J1939 Protocol - Oil pressure, coolant temperature, and engine speed data are
received from the ECU. In addition, DTCs (D iagnostic Trouble Codes) help diag nose any engine
or related failures. The eng ine DTCs are displayed on the front panel of the DGC -2020 and may
be obtained using BESTCOMSPlus® software.
•MTU Protocol - A DG C-2 020 c onnected to a gense t e quip ped wit h an MTU engine ECU receives
Oil pressure, coolant temperature, and en gine speed data from the engine con troller, along with
various alarms and pre-alarms that are MTU specific. In addition, the DGC-2020 tracks and
displays the active fault codes issued by the MTU engine ECU.
External Dial-Out Modem Port
An optional RS-232 comm unication port uses the ASCII protocol to communicate with a user-supplied
external modem. Th e opti onal ex terna l dial-out modem enables r emote contro l, mon itoring, an d sett ing of
the DGC-2020. When an alarm or pre-alarm condition occurs, the DGC-2020 can dial up to four
telephone numbers, in sequence, until an answer is received and the condition is annunciated.
RS-485 Port
An optional RS-485 com municatio n port uses the Modbus™ communicati on protocol a nd enables remot e
control and monitoring of the DGC-2020 over a polled network.
AEM-2020 (Analog Expansion Module)
The optional AEM-2020 provides eight remote analog inputs, eight remote RTD inputs, two remote
thermocouple inputs, an d four remote analog outputs t o the DGC-2020. The AEM-2020 communicates
with the DGC-2020 through a CAN bus interface. Refer to Section 11, AEM-2020 (Analog Expansion Module), for more information.
CEM-2020 (Contact Expansion Module)
The optional CEM-2020 provides 10 additional contact inputs and 18 or 24 additional output contacts
(depending on module type) to the DGC-2020. The CEM-2020 communicates with the DGC-2020 through
a CAN bus interface. Refer to Section 10, CEM-2020 (Contact Expansion Module), for more information.
LSM-2020 (Load Share Module)
The optional LSM-2020 in conjunction with the DGC-2020 provides load sharing between governors
through an analog load sh are line. The LSM-2020 commu nicates through an Et hernet port and provides
access to the DGC-2020 via Ethernet. Refer to Section 9, LSM-2020 (Load Share Module), for more
information.
Style Number
Standard-order DGC-20 20 contr ollers are identifie d by a sty le number w hich cons ists of a co mbinatio n of
letters and numbers that define the controller’s electrical characteristics and operational features. The
9400200990 Rev X DGC-2020 General Information 1-3
model number, together with the style number, describes the options included in a specific controller.
Figure 1-1 i llustrates the DGC-2020 styl e number identification ch art for hardware ver sion 3. Figure 1-2

Contact Sensing
Contact sensing inputs incl ude 1 emergency stop input and 16 programmable inputs. All inputs accept dry
contacts.
Time from a DGC-2020 input application to:
Shutdown the generator via an alarm = 490 ms max
Close a relay on board the DGC-2020 = 215 ms max
Close a relay on board the CEM-2020 = 400 ms max
9400200990 Rev X DGC-2020 General Information 1-5
A contact i nput is true (on) if the input is connected t o battery ground with a
resistance of less than 240 ohms.
The maximum length of wire that can be accommodated depends on the
resistance of the w ire, and the resist ance of the conta cts of the device driving
the input at the far end of the wire.
The maximum wire length can be calculated as follows:
Stated accuracies are subject to the accuracy of the senders used. Values within these ranges are
deemed “good” and the DGC-2020 will use them for the appropriate calculation and protection. Values
outside these ranges are deemed “bad” and the DGC-2020 will begin timing towards a sender failure
condition.

Introduction
This section describes how the DGC-2020 functions. A detailed description of each function block is
provided in the paragraphs under the heading of DGC-2020 Function Blocks.
DGC-2020 operating and metering features are described in Section 4, BESTCOMSPlus® Software.
DGC-2020 Function Blocks
To ease understanding, DGC-2020 functions are illustrated in the block diagram of Figure 3-1. The
following paragraphs describe each function in detail.
Figure 3-1. Function Block Diagram
Power Supply
The internal, switc h-mode power supp ly uses t he appl ied batter y voltag e to gener ate opera ting power for
the internal circuitry of the DGC-2020. The power su pply accepts a nominal batt ery voltage of 12 or 24
Vdc and has an operat ing range of 6 to 32 Vdc. Batt ery voltage is applied to te rminals 2 (–) and 3 (+).
Operating power must be of the correct polarity. Although reverse polarity will not cause damage, the
DGC-2020 will not operate.
Battery Voltage Sensing
Voltage applied to the power supply is filtered and reduced to a suitable level for sensing by the
microprocessor.
Microprocessor
The microprocessor controls the overall functionality of the DGC-2020 and makes decisions based on
programming and system inputs.
9400200990 Rev X DGC-2020 Functional Description 3-1
Circuits relating to the microprocessor inputs are described in the following paragraphs.
Zero Crossing Detection
The zero crossing of A-pha s e to B-phase or A-phase to C-phas e (us er -selectable) line voltag e is det ec ted
and used to calculate t he generator frequency. The zero crossing of A-phase to B-phase bus voltage is
used to calculate the bus frequency.
Analog-to-Digital Converter
Scaled and condition ed signals representing the sensing v oltage, sensing current, coolant t emperature,
fuel level, oil pressure, and battery voltage are digitized by the microprocessor’s analog-to-digital
converter. The digitized information is stored in random access memory (RAM) and used by the
microprocessor for all metering and protection functions.
Watchdog Timer
The watchdog timer monitors the firmware executed by the microprocessor. If the firmware ceases normal
operation, the watchdog t imer will reset the microprocessor. After reset, the microprocessor will resu me
normal operation if t he condition tha t caused the watc hdog reset is no longer present. If th e condition is
still present, the unit will reset repeatedly until it can resume normal operation.
Generator Voltage Sensing Inputs
Voltages applied to the generator voltage sensing inputs are scaled to levels suitable for use by the
internal circuitry. Generator voltage sensing configuration is menu-selectable.
The generator voltage sensing inputs accept a maximum voltage of 576 Vrms, line-to-line. Sensing
voltage is applied to terminals 41 (A-phase), 39 (B-phase), 37 (C-p has e) , and 35 ( neutra l) .
Bus Voltage Sensing Inputs
Voltage applied to the bus voltage sensing input is scaled to a level suitable for use by the internal
circuitry.
The bus voltage sensin g input acc epts a maximum v ol tage of 57 6 Vrms. F or har dwar e vers ion 3, s ensing
voltage is applied to term inals 76 (A-phase), 78 (B-phase), and 80 (C-phase). For hardw are versions 1
and 2, sensing voltage is applied to terminals 45 (A-phase) and 43 (B-phase).
In version 3 hardware, terminal 45 is internally tied to 76 and terminal 43 is internally tied to 78. This
accommodates the use of connectors wired for legacy DGC-2020 versions.
Current Sensing Inputs
Generator currents are sensed and scaled to values suitable for use by the internal circuitry.
DGC-2020 controllers with 1 ampere current sensing (style number 1xxxxxxxx) accept a maximum
current value of 1 Aac. DGC-2020 co ntrollers with 5 ampere current sens ing (style number 5xxxxxxxx)
accept a maximum current v alue of 5 Aac. Sensing cur rent is applied to termina ls 68 (IA–) and 69 (IA+),
71 (IB–) and 72 (IB+), and 74 (IC–) and 75 (IC+).
Analog Engine Sender Inputs
Programmable analog engine sender inputs g ive the DGC-2020 user the flexibil ity to select the engine
sender to be used in an application. Information about programming the sender inputs is provided in
Section 4, BESTCOMSPlus® Software.
Oil Pressure
A current is provided to the oil pressure sender. The develope d voltage is measur ed and scaled for use
by the inter nal c irc uit ry. An open cir cuit or sh ort circ uit acros s the o il press ure sender terminals w il l ca use
the DGC-2020 to indic ate a failed sender. Oil pressur e senders that are co mpatible with the DGC -2020
include Datcon model 02505-00, Isspro model R8919, and Stewart-Warner models 411K and 411M.
Other senders may also be used. BESTCOMSPlus® software allows for the programming of sender
characteristics. See Section 4, BESTCOMSPlus® Software, for more information.
Oil pressure sender co nnections are made at terminals 8 and 11 (sender common).
Coolant Temperature
A current is provided to the coolant temperatur e sender. The develop ed voltage is measured and scaled
for use by the intern al circuitry. An open circuit or short circuit across the coolant temperature sender
3-2 DGC-2020 Functional Description 9400200990 Rev X
terminals will cause the DGC-2020 to indicate a failed sender. Coolant temperature senders that are
compatible with the DGC-2020 include Datcon model 02019-00, Faria model TS4042, Isspro model
R8959, and Stewart-War ne r mode l 33 4P. Ot her s end e rs may be us ed. BESTCOMSPlus® software allows
for the programming of sender characteristics. See Section 4, BESTCOMSPlus® Software, for more
information.
Coolant temperature sender connections are made at terminals 10 and 11 (sender common).
Fuel Level
A current is provide d to the fuel lev el sender. The developed volt age is measured an d scaled for use by
the internal circuitry. An open circuit or short circuit ac ross the fuel level sender termin als will cause the
DGC-2020 to indicate a failed sender. Fuel level sender s that are compat ible with the DGC -2020 include
Isspro model R8925. Other senders may be used. BESTCOMSPlus® software allows for the
programming of sender characteristics. See Section 4, BESTCOMSPlus® Software, for more information.
Fuel level sender connections are made at terminals 9 and 11 (sender common).
Speed Signal Inputs
The DGC-2020 uses signals from the generator voltage sensing inputs and magnetic pickup input to
detect machine speed.
Generator Voltage Sensing Input
The generator voltage sensed by the DGC-2020 is used to measure frequency and can be used to
measure machine speed.
Sensing voltage is applied to terminals 41 (A-phase), 39 (B-phase), 37 (C-phase), and 35 (Neutral).
Magnetic Pickup Input (MPU)
Voltage supplied by a magnetic pickup is scaled and conditioned for use by the internal circuitry as a
speed signal source. The MPU input accepts a sign al over the range of 3 to 35 volts peak and 32 to
10,000 hertz.
Magnetic pickup connections are provided at terminals 31 (+) and 32 (–).
Contact Inputs
The DGC-2020 has sevent een contact sensing inputs: an emergency stop input and 16 program mable
inputs. Addit ional contact inputs can be ac commodated with a CEM-2020 (Co ntact Expansion Module).
Contact Basler Electric for availability and ordering information.
Emergency Stop Input
This input accepts Form B, dr y contacts. An open circuit at th is continuously monitore d input initiates an
emergency stop. An emer gency stop removes operat ing power from the DGC-2020 Pre-Start, Run , and
Fuel output relays.
Emergency stop contact connections are made at terminals 46 and 47.
Programmable Inputs
Each programmable input (Input 1 through Input 16) can be independently configured to perform the
following functions. By default, each programmable input is disabled.
• Auto Transfer Switch
• Battery Charger Fail
• Battle Override
• Fuel Leak Detect
• Grounded Delta Override
• Low Coolant Level
• Low Line Override
• Single-Phase A-C Override
• Single-Phase Override
The programmable inputs accept dry contacts. A contact is connected between a programmable input
and the negative sid e of the battery. Through BESTCOMSPlus®, each programmable contact input can
be assigned a name ( 16 alphanumeric charact ers, maximum) and configured a s an alarm input, a prealarm input, or neither. The default names for the inputs are INPUT_x (where x = 1 to 16). When a
9400200990 Rev X DGC-2020 Functional Description 3-3
programmable contact inp ut is closed, the fr ont pa nel displ ay shows the name of the clos ed inp ut if it was
programmed as an alarm or pre-alarm i nput. Alarm inputs are annunciated t hrough the Normal display
mode screens of the front panel. Pre-alarm inputs are annunciat ed through the pre-alarm metering screen
of the front panel. If ne ither is programmed, no indication is giv en. Programming an input as neither is
useful when a programmable input is used as an inp ut to progr amm ab le log ic.
Connections for the progra mmable inputs are provided at terminals 15 (Input 1 6) through 30 (Input 1).
The negative side of the battery voltage (terminal 2) serves as the return connection for the
programmable inputs.

Using the RDP-110 with the D GC-2020 meets the requirements of NFP A Standard 110. The RDP-110
uses a dedicated, four-terminal interface with the DGC-2020. It communicates with the DGC-2020 via
terminals 6 (RDP T XD–) and 7 (RDP TXD+) and receives power from t erminals 4 (RDP BATT+) and 5
(RDP BATT-). Remote indication of many pre-alarm and alarm conditions is provided by the RDP-110.
The following pre-alarm conditions are indicated by LEDs on the RDP-110 front panel:
• Battery charger failure ∗†
• Battery overvoltage†
• High coolant temperature
• Low coolant temperature
• Low fuel level
• Low oil pressure
• Weak battery or low battery voltage
The following alarm conditions are indicated by LEDs and an audible alarm on the RDP-110 front panel:
• Low coolant level ∗
• High coolant temperature
• Low oil pressure
• Overcrank
• Overspeed
• Emergency stop
• Fuel leak/fuel sender failure ∗†
• Engine sender unit failure†
∗ Can be configured in the DGC-2020 as N one, Alarm, or Pre-Alarm. See Section 4, BESTCOMSPlus®
Software, Programm able Inputs, Pr ogramma ble Funct ions, for more information . The light on the RDP110 turns on when the input that is assigned to the programmable function is closed, whether the
function is configured as None, Alarm, or Pre-Alarm.
† For DGC-2020 units loaded with firmware version X.14.00 and higher this LED is fully programmable via
BESTlogic™Plus.
Additionally, the RDP-110 indicates when the DGC-2020 is not operating in Auto mode and when the

DGC-2020 communication por ts include a USB jack, CAN terminals , optional RS-485 terminals, and an
optional modem jack.
USB
The rear-panel, mini-B USB socket enables local communication with a PC running BESTCOMSPlus®
software. The DGC-2020 is connected to a PC using a standard USB cable. BESTCOMSPlus® is a
Windows® based communication software package that is supplied with the DGC-2020. A detailed
description of BESTCOMSPlus® is provided in Section 4, BESTCOMSPlus® Software.
CAN
A Controller Area Network (CAN) is a standard int erface that enables c ommunication between multiple
controllers on a com mon n etwork us ing a stand ard mes sage prot ocol. DGC -202 0 contr ollers h ave a CAN
bus interface that supports the SAE J1939 protocol and the MTU protocol.
Applications using an engine-driven generator set c ontrolled by a DGC-2020 may also have an Engine
Control Unit (ECU). The CAN bus interf ace allows the ECU and DG C-2020 to communicate. The ECU
reports operating i nformation to the D GC -202 0 through the CAN bus interface. Op erating par ameter s and
diagnostic information, if supported by the ECU, are decoded and displayed for monitoring.
The primary use of the CAN bus interface is to o btain eng ine opera ting parame ters for monitor ing speed,
coolant temperature , oil pressur e, coolant level, a nd engine hour s without the n eed for direct c onnection
to individual senders. Table 3-1 lists the ECU parameters and Table 3-2 lists the engine configuration
parameters supported by the DGC-2020 CAN bus interface. Th ese parameters are transmitted via the
CAN bus inter face at prese t intervals. See th e column labele d Update Rate in Table 3-1 for transm ission
rates. This information can also be transmitted upon user request.
CAN bus interface connections are made at 48 (CAN L), 49 (CAN H), and 50 (SHIELD).

Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs)
The DGC-2020 obtains di agnostic engine information from a compatible engine contr ol unit (ECU). The
DGC-2020 will receive an unsolicited message of a currently active diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Previously active DTCs are available upo n request. Active and prev iously active DTCs can be c leared on
request. Table 3-4 lists the diagnostic information that the DGC-20 20 obta ins over the CAN bus interface.
Table 3-4. Diagnostic Information Obtained Over the CAN bus Interface
Parameter
DTCs are reported in coded diagnostic infor mation that includ es the Suspect Pa rameter Number (SPN),
Failure Mode Identifier (FMI), and Occ urrence Count ( OC). All para meters have an SPN a nd are used to
display or identify the item s for which diagnost ics are being rep orted. The FMI d efines the type of fa ilure
detected in the subsy stem i dentified by an SPN. The r epor te d pr ob le m may n ot b e an e lect ric a l fa ilur e bu t
a subsystem condition n eeding to be repor ted to an oper ator or technici an. The OC cont ains the number
of times that a fault has gone from active to previously active.
For certain DTCs, if the DG C-2020 recog nizes a p air of SPN and FMI numbers , it display s a single str ing
as listed in Table 3-6. If the DGC-202 0 recognizes an SPN in Table 3-6, but the FMI does not matc h the
FMI in Table 3-6, then it displays the stri ng fr o m Table 3-6 corresponding to the table entry w here t he F MI

MTU Fault Codes
A DGC-2020 connected to a genset equipped with an MTU engine ECU tracks and displays the active
fault codes issued by the MTU engine ECU. Active MTU fault codes can be viewed through
BESTCOMSPlus® by using the Metering Explorer to expand the MTU tree or through the front panel
display by navigating to METERING, ALARMS-STATUS, MTU FAULT CODES.
Each fault code is displ ayed w ith a fa ult desc ription a nd the f ault nu mber. I f the D GC -2020 d oes no t have
descriptive informati on about a fault number th at was received, the fault des cription will display as “NO
TEXT AVAILABLE”. Fault codes display ed by the DGC-2020 are described in Appendix D, MTU Fault
Codes.
RS-485 (Optional)
DGC-2020 controllers with the optional RS-485 communication port (style number xxxRxxxxx) can be
monitored and contro lled via a polled networ k using the Modbus™ protocol. The RS-485 port su pports a
user-selectable baud rate of 1200, 2400, 4800, or 9600. Odd, even, or no parity is supported. Fixed
communication settings include the number of data bits (8) and stop bits (1). Modbus register v alues for
the DGC-2020 are listed and def ined in Ap pendix B, Modbus™ Communication. RS-48 5 port connec tions
are made at DGC-2020 terminals 14 (485A), 13 (485B), and 12 (485 SHIELD).
Modem (Optional)
When DGC-2020 hardware vers ion 3 is equipped wit h the optional external modem port (style number
xxxxxExxx), it can be connected to an external, user-supplied dial-out modem. When DGC-2020
hardware versions 1 and 2 are equipped with the optional internal dial-out modem (style number
xxxxxMxxx), it can be connected to a stan dar d t ele pho ne l ine through its RJ-11 jac k . The modem enables
the DGC-2020 to dial up to four pager telephone numbers and annunciate conditions selected by the
user. These condit ions include any DGC-2020 alar m or pre-alarm, closure o f any program mable contact
input, and an active coo ldown timer. The modem accommodates p agers that use seven data bits with
even parity or modems using eight data bits with no parity.
Output Contacts
Output contact operation is controlled by the operating mode of the DGC-2020. The state of the
Emergency Stop contac t input also affects o utput contact operation. When the Emergency Sto p contact
input is open (emergenc y stop condition), the PRESTART, START, and RUN outputs open. When the
Emergency Stop input is closed, all output contacts operate normally.
DGC-2020 output contacts include PRESTART, START, RUN, and up to 12 standard programmable
outputs. Additional output contacts can be accommodated with a CEM-2020 (Contact Expansion Module).
PRESTART
This output closes to energize the engine glow plugs. The PRESTART output can be programmed to
close up to 30 seconds prior to engine cranking. The PRESTART output can also be programmed to
open upon engine startup or remain closed as long as the engine is operating.
During the resting state, the PRESTART can be set to Off, On, or Preheat Before Crank. If Preheat
Before Crank is selecte d, the PRESTART output will be c losed for a time equal to the Pr e-crank delay
time prior to re-en tering the crankin g state. If the Pre -crank delay setting is longer than t he rest interval,
the PRESTART output will be closed for the entire rest time.
PRESTART output connections are made through terminals located on the PRESTART relay.
START
This output closes when engine cranking is initiated by the DGC-2020 and opens when the magnetic
pickup (MPU) or gen erator frequency indicates that the engine has started. Prior to engine starting, t he
duration of cranking is determined by the cranking style (cycle or continuous) s elected. Cycle cranking
permits up to 7 crank cycles with crank cycle duratio n of 5 to 15 s econds. The continuo us crank time is
adjustable from 5 to 60 seconds.
3-20 DGC-2020 Functional Description 9400200990 Rev X
START output connections are made through terminals located on the START relay.
RUN
This output closes when engi ne cranking is initiated by the DGC -2020. The RUN output remains closed
until an off command or emergency stop command is received.
RUN output connections are made through terminals located on the RUN relay.
Programmable
DGC-2020 controllers with a style number of xxAxxxxxx hav e four progr amm able output c ontac ts (OUT 1
through 4). Twelve pro grammable outputs (OUT 1 through 12) ar e provided on controllers with a style
number of xxBxxxxxx.
Modes of Operation
OFF
When in the OFF mode, the DGC-2020 will not start under any circumstance. It cannot be started
automatically. Programmable logic functions normally in this mode.
RUN
When in the RUN (manu al) mode, th e DGC-20 20 runs and cannot be shut off automatical ly. The br eaker
can be open or closed thro ugh programmab le logic inputs. Pr ogrammable l ogic functions nor mally in this
mode.
AUTO
When in the AUTO mode, the DGC-2020 may be started automa tically or “self-start” fr om an automatic
starting feature listed in t he followi ng paragrap hs. If the DG C-2020 is not i n AUTO mode, t he self-starting
modes will have no effect. The self-s tarting modes are i ndependent, with one exception, meanin g that if
any self-starting mode indi cates that the unit should run, it will run. It will n ot shut down unless all selfstarting modes indicate that the unit should not be running.
ATS Contact Input
The ATS programmable function has an input map ped to it from BESTCOMSPlus®. The unit will start and
run when this cont act is clos ed, and will s top when the contact is open. This mode is independent of the
other self-starting modes.
Generator Exerciser
The unit will start at th e de signat ed tim e and w ill run f or the s pecifi ed dur ation. The bre aker wi ll be cl osed
if “Run with Load” is checked in the generator exercis er settings. This mode is indepe ndent of the other
self-starting modes.
Mains Fail Transfer Functionality
If mains fail transfer is ena bled, the u nit will run w hen the utility is determi ned to be bad, an d will not st op
until the utility has been determined to be good and the load has been transitioned to the utility. This
mode is independent of the other self-starti ng mod es .
Run with Load Logic Element
When the run with load logi c eleme nt s tar t inp ut is ene r gized, th e uni t will s tar t, cl os e its break er, and t ake
on load at the programme d load rate. If the unit is the only one o n the load, it will provide the fu ll load.
When the run with load logi c element stop input is en ergiz ed, the unit w ill u nload at the pro gramm ed lo ad
rate, open its breaker, and stop. This mode works in c onjunction with demand start/stop, otherwise it is
completely independent of the other self-starting modes.
Engine Run Logic Element
When the engine run logic element s tart input is ener gized, the unit wi ll start. When t he engine run logic
element stop input is energ ized, the unit wi ll unload if loade d, open its bre aker if needed, c ool down, and
then stop.
9400200990 Rev X DGC-2020 Functional Description 3-21
Demand Start/Stop Function
If the system demand is above the configured level setting for the specified time, and sequencing is
enabled, the unit will start , close its br eaker, and tak e on load at t he program med load rat e. Note the un it
will not start if sequenc i ng i s not e nab led . If t he uni t is the o nly one on the load, it wil l prov i de t he f ul l l oad .
If the load drops bel ow the stop level for t he specified time, t he unit will unload at the programmed load
rate, open its br eaker, and stop. This mode w orks in conjunction with the run with load logic element,
otherwise it is completely independent of the other self-starting mo des.
Interoperability of the Run with Load Logic Element and the Demand Start/Stop Function
These two functions can be used together; they are not independent of each other. Either one can start or
stop the system, but they can s hare functionality in that one can stop the s ystem even if the other one
started it. Thus, if a machine was started by pulsing the run with load start, it could be stopped by demand
start/stop. This ca n be use ful in a s cenario where i t may be desired t o start a number of gener ators all at
the same time b ut sequence some off if the load does not require them. R un with load start could be
pulsed on all the units causing them to start and close their breakers, then demand start/stop and
sequencing could cycle them on and off as the load requirements change.
In order for Run With Load and S equencing to operate r eliably, it is recommend ed that the inputs to the
Run with Load logic eleme nt be pulsed rather than held const ant. For example, if a unit was starte d by
sequencing, a pulse on the Run with Load Stop will shut down the unit. However, if th e Run with Load
Stop is held constant, sequencing could never start a unit because the sequencing starts would be
immediately negated by Run with Load Stops. Similarly, if a Run with Load Start is applied and held
constant, sequencing can not shut down the uni t. Any stops generat ed by sequencing would immediately
be negated by the Run with Load Start.
Breaker Management
Introduction
The DGC-2020 is capable of controlling the generator breaker and the mains breaker. Once it is
determined that a va lid breaker r equest is availab le, the DGC-2 020 will attempt t o operate the bre aker if
possible. The user can choos e to control only the generator breaker, the generat or and mains breakers,
or none. BESTCOMSPlus® is used to configure breaker management. Refer to Section 4,
BESTCOMSPlus® Software, Breaker Management, for setting information.
Determining Breaker Status
The status of the breakers is determined by using BESTlogicPlus Programmable Logic to setup the
GENBRK and MAINSBRK logic blocks. These logic blocks have outputs that can be configured to
energize an output contact and control a breaker as well as inputs for breaker control and status.
Processing Breaker Requests
Types of breaker operate requests include:
• Local Request - generated by internal functions and based on operating modes.
• Com Request - generated through a communication port using BESTCOMSPlus® or the front
panel HMI.
•Logic Request - generat ed f rom BESTlogicPlus.
The type of response given for a local request depends on the operating mode of the DGC-2020.
RUN Mode
When in RUN mode, the g enerator and mains break ers can be closed manu ally using contact inp uts or
the breaker buttons on the BESTCOMSPlus® Control screen.
OFF or A UTO Mode (Not Running)
If operating in the OF F mo de or AUTO and not r unnin g, t he ge nerat or bre aker c annot be c losed beca use
the generator will not be stable.
AUTO Mode (Running)
When in AUTO mode and running, the mains fail transfer feature will automatically control the mains
breaker an d the generator breaker or t he external AT S (automatic transfer switch) will start the generat or
3-22 DGC-2020 Functional Description 9400200990 Rev X
and control the br eakers itself. In addition, the generator breaker can be aut omatically controlle d by the
demand start/stop function, the exercise timer function, or a RUNWLOAD (run with load) start from
BESTlogicPlus. The generator breaker can be manually controlled using contact inputs and outputs or the
breaker buttons on the BESTCOMSPlus® Control screen.
Breaker Operation
The DGC-2020 will attempt to close a breaker only after verifying that it can be closed. If the breaker
cannot be closed, the close request will be ignored. Only one breaker can be closed at a time.
Synchronization is required before closing the breaker to a live bus. Closure to a dead bus can be
performed after meeting dead bus threshold and timing requirements set by the user.
Determining if it is Acceptable to Close a Breaker
Before the generator breaker can be closed, it must be configured in BESTCOMSPlus®. If only the
generator breaker is c onfigured (mains breaker not c onfigured) the DGC-2020 looks at us er settings to
determine if the gener ator side of the breaker is stable and th e bus side is stable or dead. If both the
generator and the mains breakers are configured and open, the DGC-2020 will close the generator
breaker if the generator side of the breaker is stable. If both breakers are configured and the mains
breaker is closed, the DGC-2020 will close the generator breaker after verifying that both sides of the
generator breaker are stable and the DGC-2020 is synchronizing.
Before the mains break er can be closed, it must be configured in BESTCOMSPlus®. If both th e mains
and the generator breakers are configured and open, the DGC-2 020 will close the mains breaker if the
mains side of the breaker i s stable. If both breakers are configured and the ge nerator breaker is close d,
the DGC-2020 will close the mains breaker after verifying that both sides of the mains breaker are stable.
Changing the Breaker State
Synchronization is required when closing a breaker to a live bus. Bus conditions act as a supervisory
control over the synchronizing function. If synchronization is in process and either bus goes unstable,
synchronization is s uspended. To c lose the breaker on a dead bus , the DGC-2020 gen erates a breaker
close request. The closing function is then run without synchronization.
The GENBRK and MAINSBRK logic blocks contain both Open and Close logic outputs that can be
configured to energize an output contact, which would in turn operate the breaker. The Synchronizer
screen in BESTCOMSPlus® is used to set the output contact type to pulses or continuous.
If the breaker does not seem to operate properly, refer to Section 8, Maintenance and Troubleshooting.
Synchronizer Operation
The synchronizer acts to align the generator voltage and frequenc y with that of the bus inputs when the
DGC-2020 desires to clos e the generator to a live, stable b us. Several situations must exis t before the
synchronizer function will begin to execute:
• The DGC-2020 must include the synchronizer option
• The generator voltage must be stable
• The bus voltage must be stable
• The DGC-2020 must be in the process of initiating a breaker close
Breaker close sources are:
• The DGC-2020 itself when the automatic transfer (ATS) feature is enabled.
• The DGC-2020 itself when the Run with Load logic element receives a Start pulse in the
programmable logic.
•The DGC-2020 itself when started from a Demand Start as part of demand start/stop and
sequencing.
•The DGC-2020 itself when started from the Exercise Timer and the Run with Load box is checked
in the Generator Exerciser Settings.
•Manual Breaker Clos e In pu t C o ntac ts app lied to the Open and C los e i nputs on the left sid e o f t he
Generator Breaker logic element in the pr ogra mma bl e logic.
Any of the above close sources will work when the DGC-2020 is in AUTO mode. Only the Manual
Breaker Close Input Contacts can initiate a breaker closure when the DGC-2020 is in RUN mode.
In wye, delta, grounded de lta, or single-phase AB configur ations, the synchronizer aligns the voltage on
the GEN VA termi na l w ith t hat on the BUS VA termin a l, and the voltage on th e GEN VB terminal with that
9400200990 Rev X DGC-2020 Functional Description 3-23
on the BUS VB terminal. In other wor ds, the DGC-2020 aligns th e generator phase AB L-L voltage with
the bus phase AB L-L voltage. In order for the synchr onizer to provide correc t phase alignment ac ross a
breaker, the phase AB L-L voltages on the ge nerator side of the breaker must be wired to the G EN VA
and GEN VB termin als on t he DGC -2020. The phas e AB L-L voltages on the bus side of the br eaker (the
bus to which the generat or will be connected when t he breaker is clos ed) must be wired to the BU S VA
and BUS VB termina ls on the DGC-2020. See Section 6, Installation, for a three-phas e wye connection
for typical applications diagram.
In single-phase AC configuration, the synchronizer aligns the voltage on the GEN VA terminal with that on
the BUS VA terminal, a nd the v oltage on the GE N VC terminal with tha t on the BUS V B terminal. In other
words, the DGC-2020 a ligns the generator ph ase CA L-L voltage with the bus phase CA L-L volta ge. In
order for the synchronizer to provide correct phase alignment across a breaker, the phase CA L-L
voltages on the generator side of the breaker must be wired to the GEN VA and GEN VC terminals on the
DGC-2020. The phase CA L-L voltage on the bus side of the br eaker ( the bus to which th e generator will
be connected when the br eaker is closed) must be wired to the BUS VA and BUS VB ter minals on the
DGC-2020. See Section 6, Installation, for a single-phase AC connection for typical applications diagram.
Generator speed can be influenced by either the speed trim function, which is active at all times if
enabled, and the synchron izer. Since the spee d trim function can caus e some activity on the speed bias
outputs, when performi ng s ynchr onizer trou blesh ootin g it is reco mme nded tha t the s peed trim f uncti on be
disabled.
One way to tell if the synchronizer is active is to observe the DGC-2020 front panel. When the
synchronizer is active the DGC-2020 displays a synchr onizer scope and angl e and voltage error va lues
on the front panel.
Another method is to check for gover nor an d AVR raise and lower output sign als. F irst, disab le the speed
trim function. If the governor or AVR bias control output type is contact, check for raise and/or lower
pulses coming from the DGC-2020 during synchronization. If the governor or AVR bias control output type
is analog, c heck t he gov er nor and/ or AVR b ias analog o utpu ts o n the load share modu le wit h a vo ltmeter
during synchronizati on. The voltag es or raise/lower pulses shoul d be changing when the sync hronizer is
active. If there are no raise/ lower pu lses, or if the ana log bias v oltages do not chan ge, t he sync hroniz er is
not active.
A readily available method of verifying synchronizer operation during initial set up and commissioning is to
connect a light bulb from p hase B of the mac hine b eing sy nchroniz ed to phase B of the bus. T hree b ulbs,
one on each phase ca n be emp loy ed if so desired. The bu lb(s ) should be off or v ery dim whe n i t is O K for
the breaker to close.
If it is not prac tical to use light bulbs, a vo ltmeter can be connected across the GEN VA and BUS VA
terminals. When the DGC-2020 reports that the slip ang le is near zero, the voltage read by the meter
should be near zero. For single-phase ac sys tems, connect the voltm eter across the GEN V A an d BUS
VA or GEN VC and BUS VB terminals.
If the DGC-2020 is indicating t hat the sl ip angl e is at or near zer o, but the s lip angl e measure d acr oss the
breaker is not near zero, it is likely that the signals measur ed by the DGC-2020 are not the sign als that
are present at the br eaker. In th is cas e, all wiring shou ld be chec ked to ver ify th at the v olta ge at t he G EN
VA terminal of the DGC-2020 matches the voltage present at t he Phase A connection on the generator
side of the breaker, that the voltage at the GEN VB terminal of the DGC-2020 matches the voltage
present at the Phas e B c onnection on the g enerator side of t he break er, and that the voltage at th e GEN
VC terminal of the DGC-2020 matches the Phase C connection on the generator side of the breaker.
Similar verification should be performed fr om the BU S VA and B US VB terminals on th e DG C-2020 to the
Phase A and Phase B connections on the bus side of the breaker.
It is also required t hat phase rotation is th e same on both s ides of the breaker f or synchronization to be
possible.
3-24 DGC-2020 Functional Description 9400200990 Rev X
NOTES
When using the DGC-2020 sy nchronizer, it is recom mended that local DGC2020 relay outputs be used for breaker closing commands to minimize the
possibility of closures outside of desired breaker closing angles.
If remote (CEM-2020) outputs are to be used for breaker close commands, it is
recommended that the anticipatory synchronizer type be used, and the breaker
close wait time be adjusted to account for possible CEM-2020 output delays
(typically 50 ms) to achieve desired breaker closing angles.
If the synchronizer does not seem to operate properly, refer to Section 8, Maintenance and
Troubleshooting.
Dead Bus Breaker Close Arbitration
Dead bus breaker close arbitration ensures that only one machine (assigned by the system manager)
closes its breaker to a dead bus. The system manager controls generator sequencing. The system
manager is the unit w ith th e lo wes t n umb er ed nonzero sequencing ID . A fter a m ac hin e iss ues a dead bus
close request and the sy stem man ager gra nts it, the machine that rec eived th e gr ant closes its bre aker to
the dead bus. Now that the bus is no longer dead, all remaining units must synchronize to the live bus.
Individual units issue dead bus close requests to the system manager when they want to close their
generator breaker an d a dead bus is detecte d. An individual unit issues a dead bus close r equest when
all of the following are true:
1. The generator is stable
2. A dead bus is detected
3. A generator breaker close request is received
An individual unit w ith its S ystem Type p arameter set to Mu ltiple Gen erator wi ll not clos e its bre aker onto
the dead bus unl ess it r ece ives a dead bus cl ose gran t from t he sy stem manag er via Ether net. T he LS M2020 provides Ethernet communication between the DGC-2020 and the network. The System Type
parameter is found on t he System Settings screen in BESTCOMSPlus®. Aft er an individual unit issues a
dead bus close request an d r eceiv es a dead bus close grant from t he sy s tem ma nager , th e un it maintains
its dead bus close request unless one of the following occurs:
• The dead bus close grant is removed by the system manager
• The generator breaker encounters a breaker close fail
• A generator breaker open request is received
• The generator becomes unstable
An individual unit can cl ose to a dead bus at any time when the Sy stem Type paramet er is set to Single
Generator or an LSM-2020 is not providing Ethernet communication between the DGC-2020 and the
network.
The Unit ID of the system manager can be found on the front panel of each unit and in BESTCOMSPlus®.
Refer to Section 2, Human-Machine Interface, Display Operation, Generator Network Status Display.
All units in the s ystem reporting a dead bus must be visible to the system manager via Ethernet before
any dead bus close grant is issued. The system manager removes any dead bus close grant if any
machine reports the bus is not dead. A dead bus close grant is not removed by the system manager
unless the unit that r eceive d the gran t removes its req uest or anot her mac hine repor ts that th e bus is n ot

For consistent operation, all units should be set up with the same demand start/stop and sequencing
criteria. This ensures that system mang er functional ity is transferred ac cordingly as the lowest numbere d
nonzero sequence ID changes in the system.
Event Recording
An event log retains history of system events in nonvol atile mem ory. Fifty event re cords ar e retained and
each record contains a tim e stamp of the first and last event occur rence, and the number of occurrenc es
for each event. In addition , each record conta ins details of the time, date , and engine hours for the most
recent 30 occurrences of the event. The number of occurrences stops incrementing at 99. If an event
occurs which is of a type that differs from those in the 50 records in m emory, the record that has the
