MOVING PARTS CAN CAUSE SEVERE
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH
Keep your hands, clothing, and jewelry away
from moving parts.
Before starting work on the generator set, dis-
connect battery charger from its AC source,
then disconnect starting batteries, negative (-)
cable first. This will prevent accidental starting.
Make sure that fasteners on the generator set
are secure. Tighten supports and clamps, keep
guards in position over fans, drive belts, etc.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry in the vi-
cinity of moving parts, or while working on electrical equipment. Loose clothing and jewelry
can become caught in moving parts. Jewelry
can short out electrical contacts and cause
shock or burning.
If adjustment must be made while the unit is
running, use extreme caution around hot manifolds, moving parts, etc.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK CAN CAUSE
SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH
Remove electric power before removing protective shields or touching electrical equipment. Use rubber insulative mats placed on dry
wood platforms over floors that are metal or
concrete when around electrical equipment.
Do not wear damp clothing (particularly wet
shoes) or allow skin surface to be damp when
handling electrical equipment.
Use extreme caution when working on electri-
cal components. High voltages can cause injury or death. DO NOT tamper with interlocks.
Follow all applicable state and local electrical
codes. Have all electrical installations performed by a qualified licensed electrician. Tag
and lock open switches to avoid accidental closure.
Jewelry is a good conductor of electricity and
should be removed before working on electrical equipment.

MEDIUM VOLTAGE GENERATOR SETS
(601V to 15kV)
Medium voltage acts differently than low volt-
age. Special equipment and training is required
to work on or around medium voltage equipment. Operation and maintenance must be
done only by persons trained and qualified to
work on such devices. Improper use or procedures will result in severe personal injury or
death.
Do not work on energized equipment. Unau-
thorized personnel must not be permitted near
energized equipment. Due to the nature of medium voltage electrical equipment, induced
voltage can remain even after the equipment is
disconnected from the power source. Plan the
time for maintenance with authorized personnel so that the equipment can be de-energized
and safely grounded.
TRANSFER SWITCHES
AC and DC voltages in the transfer switch com-
ponents present serious shock hazards that
can result in severe personal injury or death.
Read and follow these instructions.
Keep the transfer switch cabinet closed and
locked. Make sure only authorized personnel
have cabinet and operational keys.
Due to the serious shock hazard from medium
voltages within the cabinet, all service and adjustments to the transfer switch must be performed only by an electrician or authorized service representative.
If the cabinet must be opened for any reason:
1. Move the operation selector switch on the
generator set to Stop.
2. Disconnect battery charger from its AC
source. Disconnect the starting batteries
of the generator set. (Remove the negative [−] lead first to prevent arcing from igniting explosive battery gas.)
3. Remove AC power to the automatic transfer switch. If the instructions require otherwise, use extreme caution due to the danger of shock hazard.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The PowerCommand Network allows remote
operation of equipment. PowerCommand Software for Windows can remotely start and stop a
genset or exercise a transfer switch. Network
modules can independently control other network modules and operate other electrical devices such as fans or pumps etc. Make certain
that all appropriate personnel are notified before remotely operating equipment and make
them aware of any equipment that can be energized automatically.
Do not work on this equipment when mentally
or physically fatigued, or after consuming any
alcohol or drug that makes the operation of
equipment unsafe.
Use only the latest physical and logical connec-
tion diagrams for installing and maintaining the
PowerCommand Network. If changes are
made to the physical or logical network connections, make sure the site connection diagrams are updated. Create a new CSV file if the
number or type of modules changes or if the
bindings change.

2. Network Hardware and Wiring
OVERVIEW
This section describes the free topology (FT) network communications protocol and the individual
R
modules used in the PowerCommand
FT-10 network. This section also describes network media,
network power supply, and physical connection requirements. For a definition of the terms used in a
PowerCommand network, refer to the Glossary in
Appendix A.
NETWORK CONFIGURATION
The PowerCommand network uses a free topology
(Figure 2-1). The network is made up of individual
devices that are connected by stranded twisted-pair
MODEM
communications cable for the transmission of network data. Network power is transmitted over wires
in the DC conduit.
The devices used in this network include a free topology transceiver (FTT-10). FTT-10 devices are
transformer isolated, have a 78 kbps bit rate, and
are polarity insensitive. External power must be
provided for FTT-10 devices (LSA, DIM, CCM-T,
CCM-G, GLC, NCM, and GCM).
A router can be configured as a repeater to extend a
segment into a channel. Repeaters transmit every
network variable signal they receive, no matter
where it originates.
POWERCOMMAND NETWORK
22 AWG MAXIMUM LENGTH
1640 FEET (500 M) PER SEGMENT
NOTE: Although 128 devices can be added to a

A free topology architecture allows for wiring the
control devices without topology restrictions. It supports the use of star, loop, and/or bus wiring. Some
of the advantages of free topology include:
It allows for a method of wiring that best suits
the installation, thus reducing the need for advanced planning. It also allows for last minute
changes.
PowerCommand Network
(twisted pair)
Rewiring of existing installations is usually not
required.
The network can be expanded by tapping into
the existing wiring where it is most convenient
to do so.
Figure 2-2 shows a typical network with several
modules. Refer to Figure E-1 in Appendix D for a
more detailed network example.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The PowerCommand Network is a distributed control network. Echelon
vides the communications protocol via Echelon’s
Neuron
Chip and firmware. The network consists
of nodes (for example: PCCs with Genset Communications Modules, Digital I/O Modules, Controls
Communication Modules, and Network Gateway
Modules) wired together on a common network
data bus.
The control of the system does not reside in a central device, but rather is distributed at the system
component level. That is, each node has its own intelligenceintelligence needed at that location to
perform functions for that particular component.
The nodes communicate control and monitoring information to one another over the network data bus.
LonWorks technology pro-
The application is defined by naming the network
variable inputs and outputs for each device.
Nodes that do not have a local source of uninterrupted power are supplied by the network power
lines. These power lines must be in the DC power
conduit.
Neuron Chip
Each node contains a Neuron Chip. The primary
function of the Neuron Chip is to serve as a communications link between the system component located at that node and other system components on
the network. The Neuron Chip also provides the
node with some local processing power to read
switch positions, drive outputs, read analog data,
etc. The Neuron Chip communicates by directly
transmitting and receiving through a transformercoupled transceiver.
The nodes, their connections to one another, and
the modules/devices they control/monitor collectively form the distributed control system. A distributed control system is a more robust control
scheme than a conventional central control system.
Single points of failure in the distributed control system do not necessarily render the whole system inoperative.
Communications Protocol
A distributed control network operates on a peer-topeer communication protocol, whereby any device
on the communication channel can communicate
with any other device at any time.
Messages can be prioritized so that critical control
messages have first access to the network. Reliability of transmission is provided through use of acknowledged or repeated message service levels.
Accuracy of the message is checked by cyclical redundancy checking.
POWERCOMMAND CONTROLS
The PowerCommand Controls (PCCs) are a family
of microprocessor-based controls for Cummins Inc.
generator sets. They provide fuel control and engine speed governing, main alternator voltage output regulation, and complete generator set control
and monitoring.
The operating software provides control of the generator set and its performance characteristics, and
displays operating information on a digital and analog display panel.
The PCC communicates through the Genset Communications Module or Network Communications
Module with other modules, such as a L
System Annunciator or Network Gateway Module.
Variations of the PowerCommand Controls are covered in your generator set Installation, Operator’s,
and Service manuals.

SYSTEM MODULES
Genset Communications Module (GCM)
The Genset Communications Module (GCM) is
mounted inside the PCC 3100, and is required for
connection of the PCC 3100 to the network.
The GCM provides an interface for data between
the PCC 3100 and other modules on the network. It
communicates with the PCC 3100 base board
through the PCC’s serial port to determine the operating state of the control. For example, the GCM
monitors PCC 3100 data such as voltage, current,
engine speed, and oil temp; and then stores it for the
network.
The GCM also provides some direct local control
and monitoring of the PCC 3100. Outputs from the
GCM allow it to “wake up” the PCC 3100 when
needed, or to cause an emergency shutdown on
command. It monitors Not-In-Auto mode and battery voltage (when the PCC is asleep).
The GCM is installed piggyback on the analog
board within the PCC 3100. A description of the
GCM for PCC 3100 controls is covered in Section 7.
Genset LonWorks Card (GLC)
ules on the network. It communicates with the PCC
base board through the PCC’s serial port to determine the operating state of the control. For example, the NCM monitors PCC data such as voltage,
current, engine speed, and oil temp; and then
stores it for the network.
The NCM is installed piggyback on the base circuit
board within the PCC 2100. A description of the
NCM for PCC 2100 controls is covered in Section
The PowerCommand ATS Network Communications Module (NCM) is mounted inside the OTPC/
BTPC/OHPC/CHPC ATS, and is required for connection of the ATS to the network.
The NCM provides an interface for data from the
transfer switch to other modules on the network. It
communicates with the digital board providing complete monitoring and control of the transfer switch.
The NCM is installed piggyback on the digital module within the ATS. A description of the NCM for
PowerCommand Automatic Transfer Switches is
covered in Section 11.
The Genset LONWORKS Card (GLC) is mounted in-
side the PCC 3200, and is required for connection
of the PCC 3200 to the network.
The GLC provides an interface for data between the
PCC 3200 and other modules on the network. It
communicates with the PCC 3200 base board to
determine the operating state of the control. For example, the GLC monitors PCC data such as voltage, current, engine speed, and oil temp; and then
stores it for the network.
The GLC is installed in slot 4 in the control box card
cage assembly. A description of the GLC for PCC
3200 controls is covered in Section 9.
Genset Network Communications Module
(NCM) − PCC 2100 Control
The Genset Network Communications Module
(NCM) is mounted inside the PCC 2100, and is required for connection of the PCC to the network.
The NCM provides an interface for data between
the PowerCommand 2100 Control and other mod-
Digital I/O Module (DIM)
The base and expansion DIMs provide a group of
relay contact outputs and discrete inputs for interfacing the PowerCommand System to status outputs and to equipment that does not have compatible communications capability.
Each module (base and expansion) provide eight
0.5A, 250VAC/30VDC Form-C dry contact relay
outputs, which are driven by data from the network.
The contacts are connected to pluggable terminal
blocks for field wiring. Each relay can be programmed to operate from any SNVT switch variable
on the network. Each module also includes four digital inputs to couple user inputs to the network for
use elsewhere in control or monitoring.
Description and installation of the Digital I/O Module
is covered in Section 12.

PC.
PCC generator sets, transfer switches, system or
breakers.
The SLTA-10 Gateway connects to network data
wire through a 2-position connector. The SLTA-10
Gateway receives its power from AC wall power,
and should be backed up by a standby uninterruptable power supply (UPS).
The SLTA-10 Gateway allows software running on a
PC to access, and control all modules on a network.
The PowerCommand Software uses this module to
access the network.
A description of the SLTA-10 Gateway is covered in
Section 13.
Junction Box/Terminator
A Junction Box/Terminator (JBT) provides connection points for network power and data wire. Junction Boxes may be used throughout a network for
connecting in Pass Thru, Local Loop and Stub configurations. Stub connections are used in a multidrop bus topology. The JBT is a potted assembly.
A junction box provides two 6-position pluggable
connector for data and power, two RJ45 jacks for
24AWG stub connections, a switch to connect the
data lines to a terminator circuit*, and a switch to select either a Pass Thru or a Local Loop connection
between the data lines on the two connectors.
These modules monitor discrete inputs, AC and DC
analog inputs, and communicate data to the PowerCommand Network.
The CCM has 16 channels of analog input and 32
digital inputs.
The module also includes eight Form-C output relays to provide control of the monitored equipment
from the network. For example, these outputs can
be used to initiate a test within a transfer switch, or
to remotely start a generator set.
A description of the CCM for genset applications is
covered in Section 16, and a description of transfer
switch applications is covered in Section 17.
Network Router
The Network Router (RTR) connects two communications channels by passing messages between
the two channels. The PowerCommand Network
Router is configured to connect two stranded twisted
pair/transformer isolated 78kb (FT-10) channels.
* The terminator circuit must only be used in a TP-78
network.
Description of the JBT is covered in Section 14.
LONWORKS System Annunciator (LSA)
The LONWORKSR System Annunciator (LSA) is connected to the network by stranded twisted pair communication wire.
The LSA has 20 LEDs to annunciate alarms. This
module has its own Operator’s Manual (900-0293).

DATA TRANSMISSION MEDIA
The modules communicate at 78 kbps over a communications channel of 22 AWG UL Level IV (or EIA
Category 5) stranded twisted pair communications
wire. The network data signal is coupled to the
stranded twisted pair wire by transformer-coupled
transceivers in each node. Nodes are isolated by
transformer from the data lines, which makes the
data wiring polarity insensitive. A high degree of
noise immunity is achieved with this medium.
Wiring and connection of data transmission media
is covered in the individual module sections.

WIRING GUIDELINES
Communication over stranded unshielded twisted
pair (UTP) could be distorted by external sources of
electromagnetic interference (EMI), especially if the
conductors are physically degraded in any way. To
avoid or minimize this interference, observe the following guidelines.*
CAUTION
can cause communication signal distortion,
which can cause network failure and unintended equipment operation. Read and follow
these wiring guidelines.
Observe all local wiring codes. Refer to the NEC
(NFPA70) section on Wiring Methods and Materials
for general wiring methods and procedures.
Routing: Whenever possible, cabling should be
installed over corridor areas or along lines that are
parallel to the contours of buildings. All deviations
from straight runs should be made at right angles.
Keep wire away from sharp, abrasive, and hot surfaces.
Separation from sources of EMI: All cabling
should be installed in such a way as to comply with
the minimum separations from AC power sources,
as listed in Table 2-4.
In general, communications wiring should not be located in spaces that are shared with electrical panels, transformers, or other high voltage equipment.
Electromagnetic interference (EMI)
Tension: All cabling should be free from tension at
both ends, as well as over the length of each run.
Stranded Twisted pairs: All terminations should
be made in such a way as to minimize the extent to
which each stranded twisted pair is unraveled
at the point of its physical termination. Allow no
more than 0.5 inch (13 mm) of exposed untwisted
pairs.
UTP cable bends: UTP cable bends, or radii,
should be no less than eight times the cable diameter.
Harsh, hazardous, or corrosive environments:
Communications wiring should not be installed
where vapors, fumes, corrosives, dusts, or other industrial byproducts are present without taking appropriate precautions to protect the cables. Installers and cabling manufacturers of the materials involved must be consulted in all such cases.
Grounding and bonding: Although the use of UTP
does not involve the use of shielded cables in horizontal station runs, the use of shielding in high-paircount UTP riser cables as well as cables of all types
used in outdoor conditions is not uncommon. In
some cases, qualified installers or manufacturers
will make related recommendations in the interest
of human safety or mechanical protection of
installed cables (e.g., shielding against rodents).
When shielded cables are used, all applicable regulations for grounding and bonding as defined by local building codes for electrical materials must be
strictly adhered to.

NETWORK POWER
This section describes the methods of supplying
power (referred to as network power) to those network modules that require an external power
source. Observe all local wiring codes and regulations when designing and installing network power
wiring.
The modules that require DC network power are:
Locate the CCM as close to the device being monitored as possible. Do not mount the CCM on a genset or vibration damage can result.
If current transformers will be monitored, the distance limitations between the current transformers
and the CCM will generally be more restrictive than
the network power distance limitations. Refer to the
appropriate CCM section for current transformer
distance charts.

Transfer Switch Applications (CCM-T)
OTPC/BTPC/OHPC/CHPC ATS Network
Communications Module (NCM)
The base DIM, LSA, and CCM-G modules can be
powered by a 24V genset battery. The 24V genset
battery can supply one or more of these modules
within specific distance limitations.
The genset batteries cannot deliver network power
over a long distance due to the voltage drop during
cranking. The genset batteries require a battery
charger that can supply the network load and maintain the batteries. Refer to the genset manual to determine B+ and GND connection points.
The CCM-G module can also be powered by a 12V
genset battery power supply. The distance is very
limited and no other types of modules can be powered off the same network power circuit. Refer to
Table 2-6 for distance and wire gauge requirements. (When powering CCM modules only from a
24V genset battery, refer to Table 2-7.)
The CCM-T network power will be supplied by a 12
VDC battery that is included along with a battery
charger in the CCM-T kit.
A 12V genset battery will not provide an adequate
power supply for DIMs and LSAs. In cases where
the genset is powered by a 12V battery, a separate
power supply must be used.
The OTPC/BTPC/OHPC/CHPC ATS NCM is powered by two 2V Lithium batteries.
SELECTING NETWORK POWER
CONFIGURATION AND WIRE SIZE
This section describes the procedures for selecting
the copper wire gauge needed to supply network
power. The wire gauge selected will be a function of
the type and number of modules used, the type of
power supply selected, and the distance between
the power source and the farthest module in the
power supply circuit. Do not use stranded twisted
pair data wire for DC power.
Use this procedure for developing network power
circuits for DIM, LSA, and CCM-G modules only.
(CCM-T modules are not included because they are
equipped with their own power supply.)
Refer to Figure 2-9 for illustrations of typical circuit
configurations and notes.
1. Determine the number and type of load modules (DIM, LSA, and CCM-G modules).
2. Calculate the Total Load Factor by adding up
the individual load factors for each DIM, LSA,
and CCM-G in each circuit.
Each CCM-G has a load factor of: 2.40
Each DIM has a load factor of: 0.10
Each LSA has a load factor of: 0.10
3. Determine the distance between the power
source and the farthest load device (DIM, LSA
or CCM-G module) in the circuit.
4. Look up the required minimum copper wire
gauge. Refer to Table 2-5 for 24V genset battery power supply.

Example:
Application: The network plans call for one CCMG at 40 feet (12 m), one DIM at 50 feet (15.2 m) and
one LSA at 300 feet (91.4 m). The farthest module
from the network power source is the LSA. The top
drawing in Figure 2-9 shows each of these modules
being supplied in one circuit.
24VDC SUPPLY POWERING
ONE NETWORK POWER CIRCUIT
Calculation: The total load factor =
(1 X 2.40) + (1 X 0.10) + (1 X 0.10) = 2.60
Wire Size Required: Look up the total load factor
(2.60) in the first column of Table 2-5. Then look
across the table to find a distance equal to or greater
than the distance to the farthest load device (300
feet). Table 2-5 indicates that the maximum distance obtainable is only 274 feet, this power supply
is not adequate to supply all of these modules in one
circuit.
The circuit can be redesigned so the CCM-G module is supplied by a second circuit off the same
source (center diagram in Figure 2-9). Be careful
not to exceed the current rating of the circuit. (The
load factor equals the maximum current draw.)
−OR−
The circuit can be supplied by more than one genset power supply if available (bottom diagram in
Figure 2-9). Do not connect separate network power sources in parallel or damage to the batteries will
result from overcharging.

3. Self-Installation
ABOUT THIS SECTION
This sections describes self-installation (autobinding) of network devices.
Network communication takes the form of passing
network variables from one device to another. The
process of assigning connections—linking an output variable of one device to an input variable of
another device—is called “binding.”
Figure 3-6 illustrates a self-installed network fully
utilizing auto-bind capability. Figure 3-7 illustrates
annunciator autobinding and Figure 3-8 shows Digital I/O Module (DIM) autobinding. With a selfinstalled network,
Bindings are preset
Configurations cannot be changed
PowerCommand
R
for WindowsR II (PCW II)
and InPowert cannot be used over the net-
work (InPower can be directly connected).
Self-Installation Guidelines
The following guidelines apply when installing a
self-installed network:
Self-installation is limited to one PowerCom-
mand Genset or CCM-G, one PowerCommand Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) or
CCM-T, and no more than four annunciators or
five DIMs.
The CCM-G can be autobound by an ATS and
up to two annunciators and two DIMs, but by no
more than a total of three annunciators and
DIMs.
The CCM-T can autobind to a genset and be au-
tobound by up to two annunciators and two
DIMs, but by no more than a total of three annunciators and DIMs.
The PCC 3100GCM can be autobound by an
ATS and up to three annunciators and three
DIMs, but by no more than a total of four annunciators and DIMs.
The PCC 3200 GLC can be autobound by an
ATS and three annunciators and three DIMs,
but by no more than a total of four annunciators
and DIMs.
PowerCommand is a registered trademark of Cummins Inc.
LonMaker is a trademark of Echelon Corporation.
InPower is a trademark of Onan Corporation.
Windows is a registered trademark of Microsoft Corporation.
The PCC 2100 NCM can be autobound by an
ATS and up to three annunciators and four
DIMs, but by no more than a total of five annunciators and DIMs.
The OTPC/BTPC PowerCommand ATS NCM
can autobind to a genset and can be autobound by up to two annunciators and two DIMs,
but by no more than a total of three annunciators and DIMs.
With annunciators and DIMs, there can only be
one NFPA-110 version of each, one Extended
version of each, and only one Custom version
of either (set with InPower).
If these requirements cannot be met, the network
must be installed using LonMakert (see Section 4).
NOTE: For all network devices listed above, nciNet-
Config must be set to LOCAL by pressing and holding the Service pin of each device for two seconds.
Devices should be shipped from the factory with the
proper setting. If using a device from another network, be sure to press and hold the Service pin for
two seconds to allow it to self-install.
NOTE: For firmware with the following title AnnA03,
CCMTA04, CCMGA05, DimA02, PCAtsA05,
2100A05, 3100A04, 3200A04 or newer, self-installation is executed by holding the Service button for
two seconds. If the firmware is an older version,
then the variable nciNetConfig must be set to “local”
through LonMaker Browser for self-installation.
Custom Annunciation and Custom Relay
Events − PowerCommand Controls
Custom annunciation allows you to select up to 16
different fault code messages to be sent to the annunciator when the fault becomes active.
Before self-installing a PCC 2100 NCM, InPower
can be used to configure custom annunciation and
custom relay events for a PCC 2100. For more information, see pages 6-8 and 6-9.
The Custom Relay Events feature (PCC 2100 only)
allows you to enter up to 16 fault codes that will actuate a corresponding relay on a DIM.
Before self-installing a PCC 3100 GCM, a Plug-In

4. Using LonMaker for Windows
ABOUT THIS SECTION
This section describes procedures for the logical
installation and connection of the various modules
on the network using LonMakert for Windows
Refer to the Glossary section for definitions of network terms.
LonMaker for Windows allows you to easily use different media with routers to create a network that
operates as a single network instead of pieces that
must be monitored separately. With LonMaker for
Windows, you can easily install and remove network modules, test connections and network modules, and replace any failed network modules.
Detailed information on using LonMaker to design,
create, install, and maintain networks is included in
R
the Echelon
LonMaker User’s Guide. It also includes detailed information on using Plug-Ins, monitoring and controlling devices, and using LonMaker
shapes and stencils. The Echelon manual is included with the LonMaker software, and should be
considered a reference companion to this manual.
R
Detailed information on using Visio
to create an
FT-10 network drawing is included in the User’s
R
Guide for Microsoft
Visio 2000.
Stencils for Cummins Inc. devices have already
been created and are available on the InCal CD or
the CPGA intranet site.
The following is a brief overview of the steps required for installing a network using LonMaker for
Windows.
1. Install LonMaker for Windows and Visio −
Takes about ten minutes (download to the C
drive).
2. Download/install the network support files from
the PowerCommand Network Support CD
(part number 326−5706).
3. Launch LonMaker for Windows.
4. Select a new site.
5. Answer the pop-up questions.
6. Open the CPG Devices stencil and create a
site using the stencil templates and bindings.

account.
CPG NETWORK SUPPORT FILES
The network support CD includes support files for
all CPG devices.
The following types of files are included on the
FT-10 network support CD:
R
Network Support Files.zip − .zip (WinZip
needed to open them) files containing support-
R
ing files for CPG PowerCommand
FT-10 net-
work.
Network Support Files.exe − Self-extracting
executable version of Network Support Files.zip.
− External Interface Files (.) − Files that tell
the eight CPG devices and four versions of
the ModLon Gateway how to communicate.
− Neuron Executable (.nxe) Files − Files that
tell the eight CPG devices and four versions of the ModLon Gateway how to operate.
− Resource files − Used by third party software to interpret UNVTs for the Etherlon
router and the ModLon Gateway.
− CPG Device Stencil − Contains templates
for CPG devices and their variables.
− Etherlon Support Files
Plug-In Files − There are eight CPG Power-
Command devices that each have an individual Plug-In configuration file that must be registered for use of the devices in LonMaker for
Windows. The Plug-Ins are located in a .zip file

FIGURE 4-1. WINZIP EXTRACT DIALOG BOX
Configuration Plug-In Installation
Instructions
Support files can be installed in two ways. Running
the self-extracting executable will install all of the
files to your PC. The program will prompt you for a
root directory (with C:\ as the default selection), and
then will install the files into that root directory with a
pre-defined sub-directory structure. If your PC has
WinZip you can view this structure by double-clicking the Network Support Files.zip icon and reading
the ”Path” column.
If your PC has WinZip you may select individual files
to install to your PC. Double-click the Network Support Files.Zip icon. Select the files that you want to
install, then click on Extract. Check the “Use folder
names” box on the WinZip Extract dialog box to
place the file in the path shown (see Figure 4-1). Un-
LonMaker for Window must be installed before the
configuration Plug-Ins can be installed and registered. The eight configuration Plug-Ins are installed
by extracting each of them from their .zip file using
WinZip. After they are installed, each Plug-In must
be registered by running its application program.
This must be done once for each Plug-In.
WinZip software is required to install the Plug-Ins.
Start by double clicking on the CumminsPlugins.zip
file and then use the Extract tool in the WinZip window. The default extraction location will be the C:
drive. After extracting to this default location, the
eight Plug-In files are put in the C:\Program
Files\Cummins folder. Using Windows Explorer, the
files will appear as shown in Figure 4-2.

follows.
7. Click on nviNodeLocation. Information on this
variable is displayed in the edit box (See Figure
4-15). The first seven numbers (hex character
codes) represent the site name. If any of the
numbers are “32” (hex character for a space),
change them to “0.”
8. Click on nviNodeInfo. Information on this variable is displayed in the edit box. Skip the first
eight numbers. The second set of eight numbers (hex character codes) represents the device name. If any of the numbers are “32” (hex
character for a space), change them to “0.”
9. Close the Browser and save the network.
Using the LonMaker Browser
You can view and modify a device’s network variables and configuration properties with the LonMaker browser.
In some cases, you can use the LonMaker browser
to enter values outside of the range allowed by the
Plug-In for that device. The device being browsed

INSTALLING SOFTWARE UPGRADES TO
AN EXISTING NETWORK
The current software is compatible with previously
released FT-10 software. Networks can include devices loaded with new and old software. File names
have been changed to make it clear which version
of software is loaded on each device.
Autobinding capabilities of the PCC 3200, the PCC
2100, and the annunciator have been upgraded
with the current software. More details on these upgrades are included later in this manual.
If Both the .nxe and .xif Files Have
Changed:
A change of the letter of a device file (for example,
CCMGA03 to CCMGB03) represents a change of
both the .xif and the .nxe files. This will result in the
deletion of the old files and replacing them with the
new files. The letter change also means that there
is a change in the device stencil and that it also
needs to be updated.
Note that the original versions of .xif files under this
naming convention (those with .xif version “A”) are
equivalent to the latest .xif files in PowerCommand
FT-10 Network Support Files v1.4. Lonmaker recognizes them as being equivalent. For example,
changing from the latest version of CCM0206 to
CCMGA03 does not change the .xif file.
1. Remove all of the bindings from the device and
delete it from the LonMaker drawing.
2. Remove the device template from the drawing
(Click on LonMaker Device Templates select the template and remove it).
C:\LonWorks\Import\Cummins\. (The .apb file
will only be present if you have previously
downloaded the application image to the device with LonMaker with this PC.)
4. Copy the new .nxe and .xif files into the same
directory where the old files were.
5. Copy the new device stencil over the old device
stencil. The default directory for the stencils is
C:\LonWorks\LonMaker\Visio\.
6. Drag the new device from the stencil onto the
drawing and re-create the bindings. If the new
stencil is not available, drag the device and
functional block shapes onto the drawing from
the Basic Shapes stencil and browse to find the
.nxe and .xif file when LonMaker prompts you
to do so.
If Only the .nxe File Has Changed:
A change of the number of a device file (for example, CCMGA03 to CCMGA04) represents a change
in the .nxe file. This will result in the .apb and .nxe
files being replaced with the new files. The .xif files
remain unchanged, along with the device’s stencil.
1. Using Windows Explorer, delete (or copy to
another directory) the .apb file associated with
the device. These files should be in the same
directory as the .nxe and .xif file. The default
network support files directory is C:\LonWorks
\Import\Cummins\. (The .apb file is only present if you have previously downloaded the application image to the device with LonMaker
with this PC.)
2. Copy the new .nxe file into the same directory
where the old file was.
3. Using Windows Explorer, delete (or copy to
another directory) any binary files (.xfb, .xfo,
.apb files) associated with the device. These
files should be in the same directory as the .nxe
and .xif file. The default directory specified is
Copyright 2017 Cummins Inc.
3. In LonMaker, right click on the device and select replace. Select “download application
image” when prompted to do so and make sure
that the path and filename are the correct ones
for the new .nxe file.

INSTALLING FT-10 NETWORKS FOR BOTH
LOCAL AND REMOTE MONITORING
FT-10 networks can be set up to deliver alarms remotely while maintaining a persistent local connection. This type of installation includes creating one
network database for the local PC (using the local
SLTA on Channel 1, unbound − see Figure 4-16)
and a different network database for the remote PC
(using the remote SLTA on Channel 2, bound − see
Figure 4-23). The “remote” network must always be
commissioned last for these bindings to be active.
1. Create the following two directories on the
technician’s laptop:
c:\lm\backup\local\
c:\lm\backup\remote\
other network using a single SLTA, except for
the remote message tags. Drag the functional
block for the LNS Network Interface onto the
drawing but do not bind it. As an alternative, the
installation and bindings could be done in engineering mode off site (see Figure 4-16).
3. Add a second channel (Channel 2) and a router
to the drawing.
4. Backup the network (drawing and database) to
c:\lm\backup\local\.
5. On the customer’s PC, set up the SLTA for local
monitoring using Link Manager.
a. Launch the SLTA Link Manager from the
Start menu (or the taskbar icon).
2. Using the technician’s laptop, connect to the
network with the local SLTA and install and bind
all devices with LonMaker as you would for any
b. Click on the Link menu and select New.

5.Device Configuration Using LonMaker
Plug-Ins
ABOUT THIS SECTION
This section describes how to configure network
devices using LonMakert Plug-Ins. Plug-Ins are
available for each of the devices and can be used to
change some of their configuration parameters.
Using the Plug-Ins for CCMs, GCMs, and annunciators is recommended. InPowert can be used to
configure all devices except GCMs and has limitations when configuring CCMs (see Section 6). InPower can be used to configure an annunciator but
the process is simplified with a Plug-In.
USING PLUG-INS
NOTE: All genset controls must be commissioned
before using Plug-Ins.
Plug-Ins must be installed on the Service PC in order to use them in LonMaker for Windows. Refer to
Section 4 for instructions on installing CPG PlugIns.
Open the network site, select a device, right-click to
view the menu options, and select “Plug-Ins” (see
Figure 5-1).
Select the Cummins or CPG Plug-In and click “OK”
to launch the Plug-In (see Figure 5-2).
Make sure each of the modules has been reset after using Plug-Ins to configure the network or make
changes.
After all appropriate settings have been made to a
CCM or annunciator Plug-In, it can be saved as a
template (File Save As) and applied to other devices of the same type.

CCM − Analog Inputs
CCM − Temperature
Click on the Analog Inputs tab (see Figure 5-7) and
enter analog input information as described below.
These parameters configure the I/O characteristic
of analog inputs. These inputs can be used to monitor various senders. Select the desired input to configure and edit the Sender Voltage, Meter Reading
and Sender Gain fields to yield meaningful values.
Sender Voltage is the DC voltage of the sender at a
known operating point.
Meter Reading is the gauge value of the sender at
the same known operating point. Valid values vary
with Sender Gain (Units may vary).
Sender Gain is the relational slope of Meter Reading to Sender Voltage.
This parameter configures the I/O characteristic of
analog input Coolant Temperature. This input can
be used to monitor the coolant temperature sender.
Select Coolant Temperature and edit the SenderVoltage, Meter Reading and Sender Gain fields to
configure the input to yield meaningful temperature
values.
Sender Voltage is the DC voltage of the sender at a
known operating point. Valid values are 0 to +9
(VDC).
Meter Reading is the gauge value of the sender at
the same known operating point. Valid values vary
with Sender Gain (Units may vary).
Sender Gain is the relational slope of Meter Reading to Sender Voltage. Valid values are −3273 to
+3273 (Temperature value/VDC = Gain). If working
with an unknown sensor, it is necessary to map several temperature points to determine the slope
characteristics of the sensor. Many sensors are not
linear and they may contribute to inaccurate readings at some temperatures. Two measurement
points are necessary and should be taken within the
expected temperature range you expect to monitor.
Measure the voltage and the corresponding temperature at several temperature points; then calculate the Gain.

An increase of voltage with a decrease of temperature provides a negative gain value while a decrease of voltage with a decrease of temperature
provides a positive gain value.
FIGURE 5-7. CCM-G ANALOG INPUTS MENU
Refer to Table 5-1 for sample temperature sender
settings. Refer to Appendix B for more information
on calculating temperature sender gain.
These values are only nominal. Verify these values
yield acceptable readings. If not, refer to Appendix C
for determining the specific sender characteristics.
Example 1: The CCM is monitoring a Detectort /DK Genset with Temperature 1 monitoring the coolant temperature. The customer
would like to view all data in metric units.
Temperature 1: Enter 3.00 for Sender Volt-
age, 93.3 for Meter Reading and −19.20 for
Sender Gain.

An increase of voltage with a decrease of pressure
provides a negative gain value while a decrease of
voltage with a decrease of pressure provides a positive gain value.
Refer to Table 5-2 for sample oil pressure sender
settings. Refer to Appendix B for more information
on calculating oil pressure sender gain.
This parameter configures the I/O characteristic of
analog input Oil Pressure. This input can be used to
monitor various oil pressure senders. Select Oil
Pressure and edit the Sender Voltage, Meter Reading and Sender Gain fields to configure the input to
yield meaningful pressure values.
Sender Voltage is the DC voltage of the sender at a
known operating point. Valid values are 0 to +9
(VDC).
Meter Reading is the gauge value of the sender at
the same known operating point. Valid values vary
with Sender Gain (Units may vary).
Sender Gain is the relational slope of Meter Reading to Sender Voltage. Valid values are −475 to
+475 (Pressure value/VDC = Gain). If working with
an unknown sensor, it is necessary to map several
pressure points to determine the slope characteristics of the sensor. Many sensors are not linear and
they may contribute to inaccurate readings at some
pressures. Two measurement points are necessary
and should be taken within the expected pressure
range you expect to monitor. Measure the voltage
and the corresponding pressure at several pressure points; then calculate the Gain.
These values are only nominal. Verify these values
yield acceptable readings. If not, refer to Appendix B
for determining the specific sender characteristics.
Example 1: The CCM is monitoring a Detector/
DK Genset. The customer would like to view all
data in English (Imperial) units.
Oil Pressure: Enter 3.75 for Sender Voltage,
50 for Meter Reading and −36 for Sender Gain.
These values are only nominal. Verify these values
yield acceptable readings. If not, refer to Appendix C
for determining the specific sender characteristics.
Example 1: The CCM is monitoring a Detector/
DK Genset. The customer would like to view all
data in metric units.
Oil Pressure: Enter 3.75 for Sender Voltage,
344.8 for Meter Reading and −248.2 for Sender
Gain.
Example 2: The CCM is monitoring a nonOnan Genset with a Kavlico oil pressure sender. The customer would like to view all data in
Metric units.
These parameters configure the I/O characteristic
of analog inputs Spare 1, Spare 2, and Spare 3.
Spare 1 and Spare 2 can be used to monitor customer-defined 0−5 VDC analog voltages. The volt-
age battery for Spare 3 is the same as Spare 1 and
Spare 2 but the valid sender voltages and sender
gains are different. Select the desired input to be
configured and edit the Sender Voltage, MeterReading and Sender Gain fields to yield meaningful
values.
Sender Voltage is the DC voltage of the sender at a
known operating point. Valid Spare 1 and Spare 2
values are 0 to +5 (VDC). Valid Spare 3 values are 0
to +34 (VDC).
Meter Reading is the gauge value of the sender at
the same known operating point. Valid values vary
with Sender Gain (Units may vary).
Sender Gain is the relational slope of Meter Reading to Sender Voltage. Valid Spare 1 and Spare 2
values are −503 to +503 (Units/VDC). Valid Spare 3
values are −85 to +85 (Units/VDC).
Click on the Apply button to write the settings to the

Dialout Retries: Used to set the number of dialout
retries, if the first alarm dialout fails while attempting
to deliver a dial out message. The default setting 10,
is the recommended setting. A setting of zero, is
equal to one attempt.
(Dialout) Retry Delay: Enter the time delay be-
tween dialout attempts. The recommended setting
is 60 seconds.
Dialout Break: When enabled, this feature breaks
a current connection after two minutes in order to
complete a dialout.
Connection Timeout: After a dialout command
has been sent to the modem, this feature specifies
how long to wait for the site to connect to the remote
monitoring location. The default setting is 60 seconds.
If the site does not connect with the remote monitoring location, it will dialout to Host 2, Host 3 etc. (if
additional hosts are enabled) until it connects. If it
still does not connect, it will repeat the process, beginning with Host 1, based on the number of retries
that have been set.
After making any necessary adjustments, click on

have WinZip. The executable file can then
be run on the customer’s PC to import the
database.
Obtain the network site database from the network
installer. If the site database is not available, and
you are able to connect to the network site with Lonmaker for Windows, use the Recover Database
from Network selection, displayed after selecting
New Network.
The site backup database file is usually small
enough to be transferred to a floppy disk. Locate the
site backup file (sitename.zip) using Windows Ex-
plorer. Double click on the file to launch the WinZip
utility.
Extract the file to the root directory where LonMaker
for Windows is installed (typically C:\). Click on the
User Folder Names check box in the Extract dialog
(see Figure 6-21) to maintain the correct directory
structure. When finished extracting the file, close
the WinZip
R
program and close Windows Explorer.
NOTE: In applications where the site will be moni-
tored by both a local PC and a remote PC,
two unique copies of the network site database is required. The network site database
file names will be the same, but one file
should be identified for use on the local PC
and the other files should be identified for
use on the remote PC.
Import the network site database file that matches
the InPower application.
When finished extracting the file, close the WinZip
program and close Windows Explorer.
NOTE: Device names in network applications must
consist of no more than eight characters.
The characters can only be upper case letters. Use of lower case letters, special characters, numbers, and spaces will prevent
PCW II from recognizing the device name in
an alarm message.
NOTE: If the customer’s PC does not have WinZip,

Setup Dialout
The Dialout group of parameters allows the customer to configure the dialout settings for remote monitoring of devices on the network. Use these settings
as follows:
Redial Attempts: Used to set the number of dialout retries, if the first alarm dialout fails while attempting to deliver a dial out message. The default
setting 10, is the recommended setting. A setting of
zero, is equal to one attempt.
Redial Delay: Enter the time delay between dialout
attempts. The default, 60 seconds, is the recommended setting.
Dialout Site 1 thru 5: Enable the number of remote
monitoring sites (hosts) that you want to send alarm
messages to. Click on the value cell and select En-
abled from the drop-down list.
NOTE: These Dialout Site numbers must match the
Dial Directory numbers assigned to the
phone numbers entered with SLTA Link
Manager (see page 7-5).
Dialout Break: When enabled, this feature breaks
a current connection after two minutes in order to
complete a dialout.
Connection Timeout: After a dialout command
has been sent to the modem, this feature specifies
how long to wait for the site to connect to the remote
monitoring location. The default setting is 60 seconds.
If the site does not connect with the remote monitoring location, it will dialout to Host 2, Host 3 etc. (if
additional hosts are enabled) until it connects. If it
still does not connect, it will repeat the process, beginning with Host 1, based on the number of retries
that have been set.
After making any necessary adjustments, click on
the Save Trims button, on the toolbar, to write the
settings to the device.

7. Device Monitoring Using PowerCommand
for Windows II
ABOUT THIS SECTION
This section describes how to monitor network devices using PowerCommand
(PCW II) software.
To monitor devices over an FT-10 network, additional installation steps are required. Network applications require the Echelon
installed on the monitoring PC.
For monitoring a local network, the PC requires a
network interface (gateway) driver installation and
setup.
In all network applications the network site database must be imported for use with PCW II. Each of
these procedures are described in this section.

Review the typical network installation drawings
shown in Figure 7-1. If the application does not call
for monitoring devices on a network, do not perform
the procedures in this section.
A backup copy of the network site database is
required to complete the PCW II setup. Contact the
network installer to obtain a backup copy of the site
database. This file is required to enable PCW II to
create a Site for the network.
NOTE: To monitor a PCC 2100 controlled genset, a PCATS, or any device other than a PCC
3100 or PCC 3200, an FT-10 network will be required.
