2 System overview

2.1 General description

InteliMains-NT controller is comprehensive mains supervision controller for multiple generating sets operating in parallel to the Mains. A modular construction allow upgrades to different levels of complexity in order to provide the best solution for various customer applications.

NT Family 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.

BaseBox versions of InteliMains controllers is now available. This version features controller without built-in monochromatic display and can be combined with new and powerful display units InteliVision-8 and InteliVision-5. For more information on these products, please go to comap.cz web pages.

The controller automatically connects and synchronizes two parts of bus bar and controls the bus tie circuit breaker (BTB).

The key feature of the controller is its easy-to-use operation and installation. Predefined configurations for typical applications are available as well as user-defined configurations for special applications.

The key features are:

 BTB controlled by InteliMains-NT  Highly customizable behavior of breaker control (dead bus, blockation of closing etc.)  Synchronization (voltage and phase matching) of two control groups separated by InteliMains-

BTB with various settings (which group synchronizes to which etc.)

 Load shedding control (based on power transferred via BTB)  Full PLC logic included (useful in complex systems – BTB can for example serve as auxiliary

PLC for other controllers)

 Support of redundancy controller  Full set of protections for BusL and additional protections for BusR  Group Link function  Active calls and SMS

3.2.4 Jumper settings

There are several jumpers available on the unit. Their location and purpose is described below.

Use boot jumper if controller is not responding to communication (e.g. due to faulty programming sequence). Take off the rubber cover using screwdriver to acces boot jumper next to dongle slot.

Use 120 Ω terminators at the end of CAN1, CAN2 or RS485 buses. Do not use these terminators on units that are not terminating the bus.

Use pull up and pull down resitors on RS485 to bias the line when no device is active on the bus to prevent noise from undriven line to be interpreted as data.

3.3 Wiring (general)

To ensure proper function:

Tightening torque, allowable wire size and type, for the Field-Wiring Terminals:

InteliMainsNT, SW version 3.0 InteliMains-NT-BTB-3.0-Reference Guide.pdf, ©ComAp – June 2013

 Use grounding terminals.  Wiring for binary inputs and analog inputs must not be run with power cables.  Analog and binary inputs should use shielded cables, especially when the length is more than

3 m.

 For Mains(Bus) Voltage, Generator Voltage a Current terminals

o Specified tightening torque is 0,56Nm (5,0 In-lb) o Use only diameter 2,0-0,5mm (12-26AWG) conductor, rated for 90°C

minimum.

75°C minimum.

o Use copper conductors only.

3.4 Grounding (general)

The shortest possible piece of wire should be used for controller grounding. Use cable min. 2.5 mm2. A brass M4x10 screw with star washer securing ring type grounding terminal shall be used.

The negative “-” battery terminal must be properly grounded.

Switchboard and engine must be grounded at a common point. Use as short a cable as possible to the grounding point.

3.5 Power supply (general)

To ensure proper function:

 Use power supply cable min. 2,5mm 2  Use fuse

o 1 amp for IM-NT o 2 amps for IM-NT-BB or IM-NTC-BB

 Maximal continuous DC power supply voltage is 36VDC.

CAUTION!

Switchboard lightning strikes protection according standard regulation is expected!!! The maximum allowable current through the controller negative terminal is 3 to 8A (depends on the controller type and binary output load).

WARNING!

Risk of personal injury due to electric shock when manipulating voltage terminals under voltage! Be sure the terminals are not under voltage before touching them.

WARNING!

Do not open the secondary circuit of current transformers when the primary circuit is closed!!! Open the primary circuit first!

Use 1.5 mm2 cables for voltage connection and 2.5 mm2 for current transformers connection. Adjust nominal voltage, nominal current, CT ratio and PT ratio by appropriate setpoints in the Basic

Settings group.

CAUTION!

Check measurement connections carefully! Failure is possible if phases are connected in wrong order (WrongPhSequence detected by the controller) but this is not detected if the phases are just rotated (i.e. instead of phase sequence L1, L2, L3, phase sequence is e.g. L2, L3, L1.

To microprocessor

Use min. 1 mm2 cables for wiring of binary inputs. NOTE:

The name and function or alarm type for each binary input have to be assigned during the configuration. Binary inputs may be used in built-in PLC as well. Please refer to the manual of GenConfig for more information.

It is recommended to use separation diodes when multiple binary input terminals are connected together to prevent unwanted activation of binary input when one of the controllers is switched off.

3.9 Binary Output wiring

3.9.1 IM-NT

Correct wiring for Binary output is shown in the diagram below. On the left +PWR BOUT is not used, on the right +PWR BOUT is used. If Binary outputs are connected directly to the power source, additional fuse should be used.

If +PWR BOUT is used, it increases power consumption of the controller.

3.9.2 IM-NT-BB and IM-NTC-BB

It is possible to use binary outputs as low side switch or high side switch in BaseBox type of controller. For correct wiring in both cases please refer to the following diagrams.

Low side switch High side switch

CAUTION!

Both power supply sockets for binary outputs need to be connected to ensure proper function of binary outputs.

Never use DC relays without protection diods!

Low side or High side function of binary outputs can be chosen in configuration tool GenConfig in Modules tab. This configuration is used for all binary inputs available on the controller.

3.10 Analog Input and Output wiring

This portion of Instalation instructions is dedicated to the InteliMains-NT-BaseBox and InteliMains-NTC-BaseBox controllers without built-in display. Analog inputs and output are not available in InteliMains-NT-GC.

The wiring of the CAN bus communication should be provided in such a way that the following rules are observed:

 The maximum length of the CAN bus depends on the communication speed. For a speed of

250 kbps, which is used on the CAN1 bus (extension modules, ECU) and CAN2 bus if it is switched to 32C mode, the maximum length is 200 m. If the CAN2 bus is switched to 8C mode the speed is 50 kbps and the maximum length is 800 m.

 The maximum length of the RS485 bus is 1000 m  The bus (CAN and RS485) must be wired in linear form with termination resistors at both

ends. No nodes are allowed except on the controller terminals.

NOTE:

A termination resistors at the CAN and RS485 are already implemented on the PCB. For connecting, close the jumper near the appropriate CAN or RS485 terminal. For more information on jumper settings please refer to the section 3.1.4 Jumper setting.

 Use a cable with following parameters:

CAN AND RS485 BUS TOPOLOGY

NOTE:

See the website www.can-cia.org for information about the CAN bus, specifications, etc.
