General Description

Description of the controller system (with all options)

InteliLite

MRS3/4, AMF8/9 is a comprehensive AMF-controller for single generating sets and sets operating in stand-by mode. IL-NT AMF9 features extended support of electronic engines. InteliLite

controllers are equipped with a powerful graphic display showing icons, symbols and bargraphs for intuitive operation, which sets, together with high functionality, new standards in Gen-set controls. InteliLite

automatically starts the Gen-set, closes the Gen-set C.B. when all conditions are met, then stops the engine on external signal or by pressing push buttons. Gen-set C.B. is controlled by binary output but works without feedback signal. Mains C.B. works similary. InteliLite

provides gas engine support without ventilation. The key feature of InteliLite

is its easy-to-use operation and installation. Predefined configurations

for typical applications are available as well as user-defined configurations for special applications.

Software and Hardware Compatibility

It is possible to use HW from higher type of controller for SW of lower type of controller. The table below describes software and hardware compatibility.

IL-NT RS232 Communication module

IL-NT RS232 is optional plug-in card to enable InteliLite

for RS232 communication. This is required for computer or Modbus connection. Card inserts into expansion slot back on the controller. To insert the module, you must open the cover first (use screwdriver to open) and then insert the module into slot. Once you have insert it, the module will snap under plastic teeth. It is supposed to be installed permanently. Should you need to remove it, the safest way is to remove whole back cover and than remove module manually.

How to install RS 232 communication module:

Hint:

The following procedure is analogic also for other communication modules.

1. Insert a screwdriver into the slot of the cover.

2. Move the screwdriver to set apart the small cover. Be careful!

3. Remove the small cover.

4. Break apart the small cover into two pieces. Do not throw away the smaller part!

5. Take RS 232 communication module.

6. Plug RS 232 communication module into the slot of the controller.

7. Put back the small cover.

Hint:

When you insert RS 232 communication module, the boot jumper is hidden. For that reason we recommend to use RS 232 communication module with the boot jumper placed on it. See pictures below:

RS 232 communication module with the boot jumper.

IL-NT RS232-485 Communication module

IL-NT RS232-485 is optional plug-in card to enable InteliLite

the RS232 and RS485 communication. This is required for computer or Modbus connection. Card inserts into expansion slot back on the controller. The IL-NT RS232-485 is a dual port module with RS232 and RS485 interfaces at independent COM channels. The RS232 is connected to COM1 and RS485 to COM2.

To insert the module, please follow the instructions for IL-NT RS232 module, procedure is analogous. You must open the cover first (use screwdriver to open) and then insert the module into slot. Once you have insert it, the module will snap under plastic teeth. It is supposed to be installed permanently. Should you need to remove it, the safest way is to remove whole back cover and than remove module manually.

RS485 RS232

Boot jumper RS485 Terminator jumper

IL-NT S-USB Service USB communication module

IL-NT S-USB is optional plug-in card to enable InteliLite

communication via USB port. This is required for computer or Modbus connecting. Card inserts into expansion slot back on the controller. To insert the module, please follow the instructions for IL-NT RS232 module, procedure is analogous. You must open the cover first (use screwdriver to open) and then insert the module into slot. Once you have inserted it, part of the module will remain over plastic box. It is supposed to be used as a service tool. When you need to remove it, grab module in cutouts and pull it up manually.

Hint:

Use the shielded USB A-B cable with this module! Recommended is ComAp cable – Order code: “USB-LINK CABLE 1.8M”.

IL-NT AOUT8 Gauge driver module

IL-NT AOUT8 is optional plug-in card. Through this card controller can drive up to 8 VDO style industrial/automotive gauges. Noncompensated gauges like 0-10V or 0-20mA are not supported. Gauge type and value are configured in LiteEdit software. Any analog value from controller may be shown in that way. To insert the module, you must open the cover first (use screwdriver to open) and then insert the module into slot. Once you have insert it, the module will snap under plastic teeth. It is supposed to be installed permanently. Should you need to remove it, the safest way is to remove whole back cover and than remove module manually.

Installing IL-NT AOUT8 module is similar to installing RS 232 module. The difference is that module fits to “extension module” slot and after installing IL-NT AOUT8 you do not put back the small cover.

Typical wiring

IL-NT RD Remote display software

IL-NT RD is remote display software for a controller. Remote display provides the same control and monitoring functions as controller itself. Remote display for IL-NT controllers uses standard IL-NT controller with Remote display software. No further programing of the display is required – unit is self configurable from the main controller. It is connected with the controller via IL-NT-RS232 communication modules using RS232 line. Longer distances (up to 1200m) are possible using IL-NTRS232-485 communication module or when RS232/RS485 converters are used.

The IL-NT RD hardware type should fit to the master IL-NT.

Hint:

Please see the “IL-NT-RD Remote display software” chapter for more details.

IG-IB Internet bridge

IG-IB Internet bridge enables InteliLite

for Ethernet/Internet communicatons. It is connected to

controller via RS232 line.

See the InteliCommunication guide for further details.

Programming of IL-NT controller

Programming is possible only in MAN mode when the engine is not running.

Hint:

For more information on programing, see LiteEdit Reference Guide.

User Interface

Since IL-NT 1.3 SW there is an interchangable User Interface on controller. It allows two different modes of displaying controller menu. The first mode called USER is dedicated for users who prefer easy function and need only monitor actual values of engine and generator, see alarms or change language settings. Second mode is called ENGINEER and it is dedicated for advaced users, who desire to change the settings of controller and monitor all values .

Changing the mode of User Interface is possible from default measuring screen of controller by simultaneous pressing the ENTER and PAGE button and than press again PAGE. On screen will be displeyed the choice of two different User Interfaces.

Please see latest IL-NT Operator Guide for detailed description.
