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

password management in InteliMonitor (see the figure below). Default value is ENABLED.
Warning “PassInsertBlck” is displayed in alarm list during the blocking period.  Controller does not accept attempts to insert correct or incorrect password during the blocking
period. In case of this attempt there is a message displayed in InteliMonitor, GenConfig and InteliVision 5 and 8 which states the remaining time of blocking.
Controller is blocked for 5 minutes if there were 6 attempts to insert incorrect password. In case of another six failed attempts (after the period of blocking elapses) the blocking period is 30, 60, 120 and 240 minutes long respectively.
InteliMainsNT, SW version 3.0 InteliMains-NT-BTB-3.0-Reference Guide.pdf, ©ComAp – June 2013
40
History record “Incorrect password” is written after the 6
th
failed attempt to enter password (i.e. this record is written once the PBP is activated). During the blocking no history records of inserting incorrect or correct password are written.
Entering of passwords during the blocking period does not prolong the blocking period (passwords are not actually entered because they are rejected by the controller at all).
When the controller is switched OFF and ON again (i.e. power down and up again) during the blocking period, the blocking period is reset back to the full length of currently active PBP (e.g. if there is 24 minutes remaining out of 30 minutes after the controller reset there will be again 30 minutes remaining).
After the correct password is inserted the PBP blocking period for next 6 failed attempts is reverted back to 5 minutes.

7.1 Overview
HINT
There are numerous built-in functions in the controller that can be modified or combined to produce new functions for specific uses. Note that it is not possible to describe all the combinations or modifications in detail in this manual. Users are encouraged to find new way of how to use existing functions to their benefit.

Automatic CAN address assignement
It is possible to leave the assignement of CAN addresses on controllers themselves. If the function is activated controllers will look for possible collisions of CAN bus communication and they will change their addresses accordingly. This function need to be activated or deactivated in all controllers on CAN bus. It is available only in some applications.

It is possible to influence the behavior of the controller in MAN and AUT mode and limit the process. There are many possibilities but only some of them allow valid function of the breaker (e.g. the breaker will not be able to close if Synchronization is set to NONE and DeadBusClosing set to NONE as well). Process Limitation is also influenced by the setpoint ProcessControl:Mains coupling, so even though it is possible to e.g. synchronize two Buses together, controller will block this function if both Buses are connected to Mains incomers and Mains coupling is DISABLED.

7.4.1 Standard Power management
Standart Power management setpoints and values are included in BTB application for compatibility purposes and InteliMains-BTB does not play active role in power management.
Nonetheless, InteliMains-BTB plays crucial role in Control Group functions – it performs synchronization of the Control Groups together (based on Process Limitation). In connection to this, GroupLink function may be performed by InteliMains-BTB. This function broadcasts information about the connection of two groups together via CAN to all other controllers. Two connected groups are considered as one new group by all other controllers. The diagram below shows how the principle of the function works. Once Group 3 is connected to the Group 2, it is also considered connected to the Group 1 because the connection of Group 1 and Group 2 is also broadcasted on the CAN.
7.4.2 Load shedding
Load shedding is a function that automatically disconnects and reconnects various load depending on several user defined parameters.
Important setpoints: all setpoints in group Load shedding
The load shedding function is active in all controller modes except OFF. Load shedding works based on Load import value.
Load shedding has three steps and each step is linked with its own Load shed binary output (LDSHED STAGE X). There is only one load shed level and delay for all three steps as well as recon level and delay (setpoints in Load shedding group Ld shed level, Ld shed delay, Ld recon level, Ld recon delay). Load shed can only move from one step to the next, e.g. No LoadShed to LdShed stage 1 to LdShed stage 2” to LdShed stage 3” and vice versa.
If manual reconnection of the load is desired, the Load shedding:AutoLd recon setpoint needs to be disabled (DISABLED) and the MANUALLDRECON binary input needs to be configured.
Rising edge on this input resets the controller to a lower stage, but only if the load is under the Ld recon level for Ld recon delay at that moment.
Depending on Load shedding:Ld shed active setting load shedding is never active (DISABLE) or active all the time (ENABLE).
NOTE:
If no Load Shedding outputs are configured, there is no record to history and no screen timer indication of the activity of this function.

The channel address must contain complete telephone number of the recipient's PC where InteliMonitor is running in Active call receiving mode.
DATA-CDMA: This option sends a complete archive to the recipient's PC via CDMA modem. A CDMA modem must be connected either to one of controller COM ports or to one of I-LB modules connected to the controller via CAN2 bus. The local CDMA network must allow point-to-point data transfers. The channel address must contain complete telephone number of the recipient's PC where InteliMonitor is running in Active call receiving mode.
SMS-GSM: This option sends a short text message (SMS) containing the actual Alarmlist contents to the recipient's mobile phone via the GSM modem. The channel address must contain complete telephone number of the recipient's mobile phone.
SMS-CDMA: This option sends a short text message (SMS) containing the actual Alarmlist contents to the recipient's mobile phone via the CDMA modem. The channel address must contain complete telephone number of the recipient's mobile phone.
IB-E-MAIL: This option sends an e-mail containing the actual Alarmlist contents and latest 20 history records (only date, time, reason) to the recipient's mailbox via the IB-COM module or IG-IB module. The channel address must contain valid e-mail address of the recipient.
NOTE:
The SMTP settings (SMTP authent,SMTP user name, SMTP password, SMTP address, Contr mailbox) must be properly adjusted for sending e-mails.
7.5.2 Example of setting
There is an example of setting of Remote Alarm Messaging. In this case active calls we be triggered on Breaker open and BrkOpen w/Reset alarms. Message is sent via email to emailAddress@domain.com (Channel 1 – available for NTC controller or with any controller with connected IB-NT or I-LB+), archive is sent via ISDN modem to the number +111222333444 (Channel
2) and SMS is sent to the number +999111333555 (Channel 3).
It is also possible to adjust number of attempts that controller performs in case of not successful Active Call – Comms settings:ActCallAttempt. The language of messages can be changed – Comms settings:Acall+SMS lang (use Translator and Languages tabs in GenConfig to adjust languages).

Redundant system is a general term for applications where there are two controllers at each gen-set. One is the main controller, which controls the gen-set in normal conditions, the other is the redundant controller, which takes over the control when the main controller fails. Both controllers have identical firmware and most of the configuration and setpoints. Only several things need to be adjusted/configured differently because of the rendundancy function itself.
CAUTION!
If there are shared binary or analog outputs used on InteliMains (e.g. for system start/stop), it is necessary to prepare the configuration in the way so each controller uses binary or analog output set with different address. Configuration in gen-set controllers then needs to be altered so it can receive signals from both InteliMains controller (e.g. using built-in PLC functions).
7.6.1 Redundant systems using binary signals
It is not possible to use this redundancy system since correct function of InteliMains depends on CAN bus communication and thus CAN redundancy should be always used.
7.6.2 Redundant systems using CAN bus
This system uses the CAN bus for detection whether the main controller is operational or not. If the redundant controller has not received two consequent messages from the main one (~100ms) it will take over the system control - it activates the binary output CTRLHBEAT FD, which has to be wired in such a way, that it disconnects the dead main controller from the control, connects the redundancy controller instead and activates it by deactivation of the binary input EMERG. MANUAL.
As there can be up to 16 pairs of controllers at the CAN bus it is necessary to select which main controller (address) belongs to which redundant one. The setpoint ProcessControl:Watched Contr is used for this purpose. It must be adjusted to address of the respective main controller in each redundant controller and it must be adjusted to 0 in each main controller.
CAUTION!
Correct wiring of all inputs and outputs that should be used both by the main and the redundant controller needs to be done. Please refer to the corresponding chapter for wiring of binary inputs and outputs.
Do not use Shared Binary Inputs/Outputs for CTRLHBEAT FD -> EMERG.MANUAL connection since the failed controller may not interpret it correctly!

is lost from CAN bus or CAN bus communication from that controller becomes erratic. It is used also to disable the redundant controller when the communication on CAN bus is alright (it is negated). For more information on Virtual Binary Inputs and Outputs (VPIO) please refer to the chapter about Shared Binary Inputs and Outputs and Virtual Binary Inputs and Outputs.
NOTE:
Use pulse signals for control of circuit breakers. LCB ON COIL and LCB OFF COIL should be used to prevent sudden opening for a short period of time when the controller fails and to ensure proper function of redundancy.
7.7 Force value – step by step guide
In this chapter there is complete step by step guide which shows how to use Force value function of the controller.
Forcing of values is used to change particular setpoint temporarily by activation of related Binary Input. This is used to change function of controller under given conditions (e.g. there are two different periods during the day when Export limit given by distribution network is required or not).
WARNING!
Setpoints must not be written continuously (e.g. via Modbus connection)! If continuous change of setpoints is required, combination of External values and Force value function needs to be used. The memory that holds setpoints is designed for up to 105 writings. Than memory may be damaged!
Setpoints that are available for forcing may be identified by Force value button on the right side in GenConfig (see the figure below).
When the button is clicked, Force value dialog appears.

FREQUENCY LOOP
The frequency loop is active in the following situations dependending on the application. For more information see the table below.
APPLICATION
FREQ GAIN AND FREQ INT SETPOINTS ARE ACTIVE DURING:
BTB
synchronization between “left” and “right” buses
See also setpoints: Sync ctrl:Freq gain and Sync ctrl:Freq int When the Sync ctrl:Freq gain is set to zero, this control loop is switched OFF.
ANGLE LOOP
The differential angle control loop is active during the synchronization (see Frequency loop above) when the "near to zero" slip frequency has been successfuly achieved and then the differential angle between bus and mains voltage shall be controlled to the value adjusted by the setpoint Sync ctrl:BRtoBLAngleReq.
See also setpoint: Sync ctrl:Angle Gain
VOLTAGE LOOP
The Voltage loop is active in the following situations dependending on the application. For more information see the table below.
value 0 (DISABLED) by Binary Input FORCEVALUEIN 1 we can change the function of Export limit from ENABLED to DISABLED by activation of FORCEVALUEIN 1. It is possible to rename the setpoint to e.g. Force value:ExportDisabled and Binary Input as well to e.g. DISABLEEXPLIM. The function will not change (only the corresponding names).
It is possible to use several force value functions for one setpoint. If more than one forcing Binary Input is active, the one with the highest position (lowest number in the Force value dialog) is used.
It is possible as well to use one Binary Input to force multiple setpoints (e.g. in case of complex function change).
NOTE:
It is possible only to force value or setpoint in other setpoint if their dimension and range are the same (e.g. only value with dimension in hours and which is Integer 16 to a setpoint with dimension hours and which is as well Integer 16). You may use PLC block Convert to change the dimension and range if needed.
7.8 Regulation loops
There are following regulation loops built-in in the controller. All of them are PI type except angle loop, which is P type.

APPLICATION
VOLTAGE GAIN AND VOLTAGE INT SETPOINTS ARE ACTIVE DURING:
BTB
synchronization between “left” and “right” buses
See also setpoints: Volt ctrl:Voltage gain and Volt ctrl:Voltage Int When the Voltage gain is set to zero, this control loop is switched OFF.
7.8.1 PI regulation adjustment
The regulation loops have two adjustable factors: P-factor and I-factor (except angle regulation loop, which has P-factor only). The P-factor (gain) influences the stability and overshoot of the regulation loop and the I-factor influences the steady-state error as well as the settling time. See the picture below for typical responses of a PI regulation loop.
Figure: Typical responses of a PI regulator
For manual tunning of a control loop use following method:
1. Set both the I-factor and P-factor to 0.
2. Increase the P-factor slightly until the system starts to oscillate.
3. Adjust the P-factor back to approx. one half of the value where the oscillations started.
4. Increase the I-factor slightly to achieve optimal resulting response.
NOTE:
It may be helpful to disable issuing the breaker close command when adjusting synchronization loops. Adjust the setpoint Phase window to 0 to disable it. Adjust the setpoint back to it's original value after the adjustment is finished.
CAUTION!
Be ready to press emergency stop button in case the regulation loop would start to behave unacceptable while it is beeing adjusted.

7.9 Values for continuous writing from external sources
ONCE
This is a single shot mode. The timer will be activated only once at preset date/time for preset duration.
DAILY
The timer is activated every "x-th" day. The day period "x" is adjustable. Weekends can be excluded. E.g. the timer can be adjusted to every 2nd day excluding saturdays and sundays.
WEEKLY
The timer is activated every "x-th" week on selected weekdays. The week period "x" is adjustable. E.g. the timer can be adjusted to every 2nd week on monday and friday.
This function is especially designed for continuous writing of setpoints from external sources (e.g. via Modbus connection).
WARNING!
Setpoints must not be written continuously (e.g. via Modbus connection)! If continuous change of setpoints is required, combination of External values and Force value function needs to be used. The memory that holds setpoints is designed for up to 105 writings. Than memory may be damaged!
It is possible to use up to four different External values for continuous writing from external sources. The values are adjusted by setpoints in Force value group. Default (also initial) value may be adjusted, rate of change of ExtValueX (by Binary Inputs EXTVALUEX UP and EXTVALUEX DOWN) can be adjusted as well as high and low limit of the value.
There are two way, how to adjust External values. One is using Binary Inputs mentioned above. Second one is to write the value directly using e.g. Modbus. External values then may be converted using PLC block convert and force into setpoint which is then continuously forced (note: NOT WRITTEN) by the value of ExtValueX. This way internal memory is safe and no damage may occur.
External values are reverted back to their default (initial) value (given by corresponding setpoint) when Binary Input for their reset is active (and they change to the previous value after Binary Input deactivates). When the Binary Input is active the External value cannot be changed by Modbus writing or by using Binary Inputs for up and down value.
NOTE:
External values are not available for external writing when any Binary Input (up, down or reset) related to them is active.
Note also that when the controller is reset (powered down and up again), all external values are reverted back to their default (initial) values.
HINT
For information on how to write (or read) objects from controller via Modbus, please refer to the latest Communication guide for InteliGen and InteliSys.
7.10 General Purpose Timers
There is 16 general-purpose timers in the controller, each 4 of them are joined together to one output. That means there are 4 fully independent timer blocks including 4 timer channels each. The combined outputs from the timer blocks are TIMERACT 1-4, TIMERACT 5-8, TIMERACT 9-12 AND TIMERACT 13-16.
The timers are intended for scheduling of any operations such as e.g. periodic tests of the gen-set, scheduled transfer of the load to the gen-set prior to an expected disconection of the mains etc. Each timer channel can be activated only once within a single day. The activation time and duration of each channel is adjustable (both as hh:mm).
7.10.1 Timer modes
Available modes of each timer:
InteliMainsNT, SW version 3.0 InteliMains-NT-BTB-3.0-Reference Guide.pdf, ©ComAp – June 2013
62
MONTHLY
The timer is activated every "x-th" month on the selected day. The requested day can be selected either as "y-th" day in the month or as "y-th" weekday in the month. E.g. the timer can be adjusted to every 1st month on 1st tuesday.
SHORT PERIOD
The timer is repeated with adjusted period (hh:mm). The timer duration is included in the preriod.
The mode of each timer channel is adjusted by an assigned setpoint. The setpoints are located int the Timer settings group and can be adjusted via InteliMonitor and GenConfig.
Figure: Principial scheme of one block containing 4 timers
EXAMPLE:
Below is an example how to use the timers for periodic tests of the gen-set performed every sunday with duration of 30 minutes and also for scheduled transfer of the load before expected mains failure announced by the local electricity distribution company to 1.5.2010 from 01:00 to 04:00.
1. The output TIMERACT 1-4 is configured internally in GenConfig (LBI tab) to the logical binary inputs REMOTE TEST and TEST ON LOAD.
2. The setpoint Timer settings:TimerChannel 1 is adjusted to "repeated" mode, "weekly" period, only sundays, starting date/time next sunday at 0:00, timer duration 0:30 min.
3. The setpoint Timer settings:TimerChannel 2 is adjusted to "once" mode, starting date/time
1.5.2010 at 01:00, timer duration 3:00 hrs.

7.11 History Related functions
7.11.1 History Records Adjustment
It is possible to change History records content. Each record contains date, time and cause of the record as obligatory columns. The rest of columns are configurable.
The history record structure has two parts. The upper part is so-called fast and is written into the history memory immediately in the moment when the written event occurs. The rest of the record may be written with a delay max. 100ms. The fast part is intended for fast changing values as e.g. currents, voltages or power. The parts are separated by a line in the record content list.
1. Values selection tree
2. Buttons for adding/removing values into/from the record structure
3. Buttons for ordering of the values in the record structure
4. Fast history separator. The fast part is located above the separator
5. Estimated number of records depending on record size
6. Record capacity usage indicator
NOTE:
Values that are displayed in green color are recomended to be placed in the fast part. If the checkbox Add modules to history automatically.. in the Modules tab is checked then all values of
a module are automatically added into the history record when the module is inserted into the configuration.
7.11.2 Time Stamp function
The controller allows user to define when the history records are written even though there is no other reason for history record (so called Time Stamp).
It is possible to disable time stamping function (for example when time stamping is not needed and just floods the history). It may be conditioned by activation of logical Binary Input function (TIME STAMP ACT) or it may be enabled always.
Period of time stamping may be adjusted from 1 to 240 minutes.
NOTE:
Beware of History flooding by to many Time Stamps (vital information may be overwritten).
7.11.3 Time and Date Intercontroller Sharing
Time and Date are used mainly for History records. These values are shared between controllers that are connected to CAN. When the value is changed in one controller, it sends its new value to all other controllers that are connected to the same CAN bus and they update their time and date values and setpoints accordingly.

Summer Time Mode function may be enabled and disabled by user. It is possible to set if the controller is located in the northern or southern hemisphere as well.
SummerTimeMode implemented in ComAp controllers is based on CET summer time which means:
Clock goes forward 1 hour at 2:00 a.m. on the last Sunday in March
Clock goes backwards 1 hour at 3:00 a.m. on the last Sunday in Octorber
NOTE:
Please be aware that in other regions summer time adjustments may be done in different time.
7.12 User Buttons
There are several User Buttons available in the controller. It is possible to set them on Soft Buttons in InteliVision 5 or 8.
Available functions for soft buttons are listed in the following table.
7.13 Remote Control Function
It is possible to remotely control several Binary Outputs in the controller. You can either use Remote Switches tool in InteliMonitor (select Remote switches in menu for corresponding controller), import Remote Switches tool to a SCADA diagram in Line Diagram Editor or use external device via Modbus (register #46361 and command #26 (1A hex), for more information on Modbus please refer to the InteliGen/InteliSys Communication guide).
Remote Switch will activate or deactivate depending on remote control so it can be used to manually control devices, simulate malfunctions while commissioning etc.

Remote Switches may be easily used to trigger logical Binary Input function and all other related functions as normal switch on Binary Input. Module VPIO (Virtual Peripheral Inputs- Outputs) can be added to configuration and it will copy the state of Remote Switch on virtual output to its counterpart virtual input. Refer to the figure below for example.
Figure: Using of Remote Switches to trigger logical binary inputs
7.14 Virtual Peripheral Inputs-Outputs (VPIO) module
For InteliMains there are several modules available. One of them is Virtual Peripheral Inputs-Outputs module which is particularly usefull for connection of logical Binary Output functions to logical Binary Input functions. This way internal controller function may easily trigger other internal controller functions without unnecessary wiring or usage of PLC functions.
Module is functioning the same way as normal module with 8 outputs and 8 inputs, but the difference is, that each input copies its counterpart output. It is possible to select any logical Binary Output function for one of the outputs of VPIO module. Inputs on VPIO module work the same way as standard input of the controller (i.e. it can be assigned function and protection).
For example of this function please refer to the chapter Remote Control function.

InteliMains uses the same type of Shared Inputs and Outputs (SHBOUT, SHBIN, SHAIN and SHAOUT modules) as InteliGen and InteliSys. Thanks to this, it is possible to share Binary and Analog values between all the controllers via CAN bus, thus saving physical Inputs and Outputs and excess wiring.
Figure: Principal Scheme (same for shared Binary I/O and shared Analogue I/O
Shared Binary Inputs and Outputs may be used exactly in the same way as standard physical Inputs and Outputs. If SHBIN or SHAIN modules are configured, at least one corresponding module of SHBOUT or SHAOUT (respectively) is needed. If it is not configured, corresponding protection appears because SHBIN or SHAIN will be missing. See the figure below for more information.
NOTE:
If SHUTDOWN (RED) protection is chosen, it is interpreted in InteliMains as Mains Protect with Reset type protection. For more information on Protection types and alarms please refet to the chapter Protection and Alarms management.

CAN communication
For proper function of Shared Binary and Analog Inputs and Outputs, only one source of Shared Binary or Analog Outputs must be configured (i.e. it is not possible to configure in one controller SHBOUT1 and to another one as well SHBOUT1).
7.16 Distributed Binary Inputs and Outputs
InteliMains uses the same type of Distributed Binary Inputs and Outputs (DISTBIN and DISTBOUT modules) as InteliGen and InteliSys. Thanks to this, it is possible to share Binary and Analog values between all the controllers via CAN bus, thus saving physical Inputs and Outputs and excess wiring.
DISTBIN and DISTBOUT work in a different way than SHBIN and SHBOUT. Each controller has one pack of eight DISTBOUT available (if not configured or no function is assigned to any output, it does not broadcast them). The number of DISTBOUT module is not shown in the configuration and it is always corresponding to the CAN address of the controller (e.g. the controller with address 5 will be broadcasting DISTBOUT-05 which can be received if module DISTBIN-05 is configured in another controller. Up to 32 DISTBIN modules can be configured (meaning that the controller will be receiving all DISTBOUT from all the controller, even his own).
It is not possible to change the name of DISTBIN inputs or add protections. In the example below you can see 4 controllers with various DISTBIN and DISTBOUT configuration.
NOTE:
If SHUTDOWN (RED) protection is chosen, it is interpreted in InteliMains as Mains Protect with Reset type protection. For more information on Protection types and alarms please refet to the chapter Protection and Alarms management.

HINT
Controller sends Distributed Binary Outputs each 100ms if there are any changes in any bit position. If there are no changes, controller sends the information with period 1s.
NOTE:
DISTBIN and DISTBOUT function is not available for IM-NT-GC controller.
7.17 Modbus Reading and Writing
Controller supports Modbus Slave functions (an external device may write or read from a controller). Modbus registers corresponding to objects in the controller can be exported to text form in GenConfig.
Figure: Exporting of Modbus registers
If Modbus Master function is required extension module I-CB/Modbus connected via CAN1 can be used. For more information on how to use this module please refer to InteliGen/InteliSys Communication Guide and to I-CBEdit manual.
7.18 User MODBUS
Users can define Modbus registers from 42873 to 43000. Values, setpoints and Alarm states can be specified for these new Modbus registers to prepare the Modbus protocol for batch reading and writing or to standardize Modbus protocol between FW versions or branches.

Although if there is sensor that is not in the list, it is possible to prepare custom characteristics (up to
16) with up to 31 definition points.
Default sensors: PT100/°C, PT1000/°C, NI1000/°C, PT100/°F, PT1000/°F, NI1000/°F, 4-20mA active, 0-2400ohm, 0-2.4V, Tristate

For detailed description of Languages and Translator tool please refer to GenConfig interactive help (press F1 when in corresponding tab or open Help -> GenConfig Help).
7.21 Power Formats
InteliMains allows user to choose from several Power Formats that affect dimensions in which values and some setpoints are interpreted or adjusted. Power formats may be changed in Miscellaneous tab in GenConfig. There are following Power Formats available:
1 kW kVAr kVA kX V 0,1 kW kVAr kVA kX V 0,01 MW MVAr MVA MX kV
0,01 MW MVAr MVA MX V
NOTE:
Range of some setpoints and values is changed significantly when different Power Formats are selected.
Last Power Format is designed to be used in combined High Power/High Voltage and Low Voltage instalations. High voltage is then interpreted in Volts (e.g. 33256V instead of 33kV).
Last two Power Formats can be used in combination on one CAN bus.
7.22 User Mask function
In GenConfig you can easily set any object in Screen Editor to show or hide based on activation of particular Logical Binary Input available for users. Below, there is diagram showing the setup of User Mask function in Screen Editor.

>V, BusR protect: BusRight <V. Delay for over and under voltage is given by the setpoint BusR protect:BusRight V del. Protection is indicated by message “BR LX over” (X = number of
corresponding phase) or “BR LX under”. When Basic settings:FixVoltProtSel is adjusted to PHASE-PHASE then this protection is evaluated based on voltage between phases and it is indicated by “BR LXY over” or “BR LXY under” (where XY are number of corresponding phases).
BusR Over and Under Frequency: This protection limits are given by setpoints
BusR protect:BusRight >f, BusR protect: BusRight <f. Delay for over and under frequency is
given by the setpoint BusR protect:BusRight f del. Protection is indicated by message “BusR f over” or “BusR f under”.
8.1.6 User configurable protections
Controller provides vast possibilies for user configurable protections. There are several protections that configured by default in standard configuration. For step-by-setp guide on how to configure your own protections please go to chapter 7.1.6.2.

8.1.6.2 Configuration of User configurable protections in GenConfig
It is possible to configure protections on Binary Input, Analog Input or any value that is available in the controller.
HINT
Since there can be number of protections configured by the user it is possible to prepare more complex reaction of the Feeder to the state of the voltage on Bus. It is possible to add reaction on over and under frequency, over and under voltage and other parameters. These protection will be working along with the fixed protections.
8.1.6.2.1 Binary Input protection configuration
Open I/O tab in GenCofig and adjust parameters that are described below.
8.1.6.2.2 Analog Input protection configuration
Open I/O tab in GenCofig and adjust parameters that are described below.

Fail Sensor protection (when activated) does not affect the function of the system itself. If you adjust “Active when” to Under limit + Fls or Over limit + Fls the protection will considered the value that is out of range (failed sensor) to be under or over limit (depending on the setting) and it will issue corresponding alarm after the delay of the protection. This can be used for example when the function of the particular sensor connected to an analog input is crucial for the operation of the system and its failure requires the system to be affected (open breakers etc.).
8.1.6.2.3 Custom configurable protection
Open Protections tab in GenCofig and adjust parameters that are described below.
HINT
You need to prepare two separate protections for level 1 and level 2. Select the value for protection first and then use Wizard – it will take you through all the steps and help
you adjust them correctly.

8.1.6.2.4 Protection blocking
BLOCKING TYPE
DESCRIPTION
All the time
The alarms are beeing evaluated all the time the controller is switched on.
Force block 1
The alarms are beeing evaluated while the input Force block 1 is not active. The evaluation begins ForceBlockDel1 seconds after the input has been deactivated.
Force block 2
The alarms are beeing evaluated while the input Force block 2 is not active. The evaluation begins ForceBlockDel2 seconds after the input has been deactivated.
Force block 3
The alarms are beeing evaluated while the input Force block 3 is not active. The evaluation begins ForceBlockDel3 seconds after the input has been deactivated.
DISABLED
Pressing of the fault reset button (at any terminal or external button) resets only inactive alarms. Active alarms remain in the alarmlist unchanged and must be reset again when they become inactive.
ENABLED
Pressing of the fault reset button (at any terminal or external button) resets all alarms that are currently present in the alarm list. Inactive alarms disappear from the alarm list immediately, active alarms are changed to "confirmed" state and disappear when the alarm condition disappear or the alarm starts to be blocked.
It is possible to block user defined protections (on binary inputs, analog inputs or any value available in the controller).
8.1.7 Reset Actual Alarms selection
It is possible to determine the behavior of alarms that are in alarm list when Fault Reset button is pressed. Select behavior with ComProtSetting:ResetActAlarms.
NOTE:
ENABLED position corresponds to the method how the IG-classic and IS-classic controllers handled the alarms.
8.1.8 Bus Measurement Error detection
InteliMains is able to detect Bus Measurement Error. It is evaluated based on gen-sets and mains incommers.
GEN-SETS: If any gen-set from the logical group that is connected to the InteliMains has closed breaker and InteliMains is not measuring correct values on Bus it automatically detects bus measurement error.
MAINS: If any Mains incomer is connected to the bus (provided that all corresponding Bus Tie Breakers are closed as well) and InteliMains is not measuring correct values on Bus it automatically detects bus measurement error.

8.1.9 Peripheral Modules Error detection
The corresponding protection can be adjusted.
Alarm level 1 or level 2 is issued when the
controller detects missing periphery (WARNING
(YEL) – level 1, SHUTDOWN (RED) – level 2)
Adjust LBO PeriphCommErr to one VPIO output
Adjust protection to the corresponding VPIO input
Change the type to the BrkOpen w/Reset
It is possible to adjust the protection of level 1 (yellow) or level 2 (red) to any configured peripheral module. If the controller detects that this periphery is missing it issues the corresponding alarm. In BTB application Warning is issued when WARNING(YEL) option is selected and level 2 with no action is issued when SHUTDOWN(RED) option is selected (this alarm has the type of MPR (Mains Protect with Reset) which is not present in BTB application and therefore the controller takes no action). If opening of the breaker is required, utilize the function shown below.
NOTE:
If more than one module are configured, the BreakerOpen with Reset protection is issued when any of these modules is detected as missing!

9 Circuit breakers operation sequence,
MGCB/MCB fail detection
NOTE:
In the following text, “CB” abbreviation is used for BTB.
9.1.1 Related binary inputs:
CB FDB – CB feedback binary input. CB FDB NEG – negative CB feedback binary input. Used for increasing the reliability of CB
status evaluated by the controller. In case that it is not configured, negative value of CB fdb is calculated internally within the controller.
 CB DISABLE – this input is used for disabling issuing of CB closing command (if CB is closed
and this input is activated CB is opened immediately).
9.1.2 Related binary outputs:
CB CLOSE/OPEN – output for circuit breaker. Equals to 1 during the time when CB is requested
to be closed.
CB ON COIL – output for closing coil of the CB. 2s pulse (5s if synchronising is not provided by
the particuilar CB) is used for closing the CB.
CB OFF COIL – output for opening coil of the CB. 2s pulse (5s if synchronising is not provided
by the particuilar CB) is used for opening the CB.
CB UV COIL – output for undervoltage coil of the CB. Permanently active, 2s negative pulse
(5s if synchronising is not provided by the particuilar CB) is used for CB opening request.
CB STATUS – output indicating CB status as evaluated by the controller. This signal is used for
lighting
LEDs on the panel, switching the regulations, CB fail evaluation, etc.
NOTE:
All pulse outputs for CB in following diagrams may be long 5s if the CB is not used for synchronization in that particular instance.

NOTE:
This is not valid for BTB. BTB fail is not detected in this case.
BTB can be opened externally and this state is always confirmed by the controller and no alarm is issued.

PROCESSCONTROL:BRKCTRL IN
AUT
CONTROLLER BEHAVIOR
NORMAL
Breaker is controller by the controller.
COX (FOLLOW)
Breaker is controlled externally and the controller does not attempt to control it nor any alarms are issued. Synchronization process can be started by the FORCE SYNC input if it is allowed by the setpoints ProcessControl:Synchro enable. Synchronization in COX(FOLLOW) does not have any timeout and controller keeps voltages synchronized indefinitely (i.e. until FORCE SYNC is opened or the breaker is closed externally).
CB fail is detected. In such case, if CB OFF coil is used for opening the CB and CB fail occurs during opening the CB, the signal CB OFF coil is automatically extended until the breaker opening is detected (evaluated as CB status).
2 sec when the CB is used for synchronizing  5 sec in other cases
In case that CB fail is detected after switching the controller on (CB is closed), the CB OFF coil
output is activated immediatelly.
Important:
In case that BTB feedback is active (BTB is expected to be closed) and “BTB fail” is reported due to previous incorrect manipulation of BTB, in the moment of Fault reset, the BTB fail is cleared and the controller internally goes to “closed” state. I.e. BTB fdb status is confirmed and the output BTB close/open is energized.
9.1.4 Follow function for breaker control in AUT mode
Only in MCB application. Using setpoint ProcessControl:BrkCtrl in AUT behavior of breaker control can be adjusted.

BTB feedback is not active
BTB on
BTB feedback is active
Synchro
BTB feedback is not active; voltage on left and right bus is within limits; if setpoint Process control:Synchro enable = L->R, R->L or BOTH and left, right or at least one group (respectively) is not connected to the Mains, the controller synchronizes left, right or the one not connected to the Mains group to the right, right or the other one respectively.
EmergMan
Controller is in this state if BI EMERG. MANUAL is activated. In this state controller does not react on breaker changes and do not activate any of its binary outputs. For more information please refer to EMERG. MANUAL description in the APPENDIX of this manual or see context help in GenConfig.
Init
Initialization of controller. In this state, controller is not fully functional.
These states are given by requested breaker positions and other parameters (e.g. healthy Mains). Controller can operate in following states.

Description
In BTB application many load control and power management functions does not play active role!
This setpoint is used to adjust the baseload level for the whole gen-set group in parallel-to-mains operation. There are two methods of baseload control:
DISTRIBUTED MODE
#SysLdCtrl PtM = BASELOAD
Each gen-set takes proportionally equal part of the system baseload and then use load control loop (like in SPtM) to maintain the load. Load sharing is not performed, the InteliMains
12.1 Password Protection
Any setpoint can be password protected - 7 levels of password protection are available. The password is up to five-digit number (maximum is 65535). Only setpoints associated with the entered password level can be modified.
Even though one level may have been set from the front panel, the affected setpoints are not accessible from InteliMonitor (direct or Modem) until this level is set in InteliMonitor.
Setpoints opened from front panel are automatically closed 15 minutes after the last key has been pressed or when wrong value of password is set.
Any password can be changed once that level password or higher has been entered. The controller programming (configuration) requires the highest password – only Administrator.

Description
In BTB application many load control and power management functions does not play active role!
The setpoint is used for adjusting the requested base power factor of the gen-sets in the parallel-to-mains operation. The setpoint #SysPFCtrl PtM must be set to BASEPF for constant power factor control. The power factor of each gen-set is controlled by it's own PF control loop and InteliMains does not play active role in this type of control.
Settings 0.60 – 0.99 correspond to inductive PF (0.60L - 0.99L), 1.01 – 1.20 correspond to capacitive PF (0.99C - 0.80C).
