Introduction

2 INTRODUCTION

This document details the installation and operation requirements of the DSE7400 Series modules, part of the DSEGenset® range of products.

The manual forms part of the product and should be kept for the entire life of the product. If the product is passed or supplied to another party, ensure that this document is passed to them for reference purposes. This is not a controlled document. You will not be automatically informed of updates. Any future updates of this document will be included on the DSE website at www.deepseaplc.com

The DSE7400 series is designed to provide differing levels of functionality across a common platform. This allows the generator OEM greater flexibility in the choice of controller to use for a specific application.

The DSE7400 series module has been designed to allow the operator to start and stop the generator, and if required, transfer the load to the generator either manually (via fascia mounted push-buttons) or automatically. Additionally, the DSE7420 automatically starts and stops the generator set depending upon the status of the mains (utility) supply. The user also has the facility to view the system operating parameters via the LCD display.

The DSE7400 module monitors the engine, indicating the operational status and fault conditions, automatically shutting down the engine and giving a true first up fault condition of an engine failure by a COMMON AUDIBLE ALARM. The LCD display indicates the fault.

The powerful ARM microprocessor contained within the module allows for incorporation of a range of complex features:

• Text based LCD display (supporting multiple languages).

• True RMS Voltage, Current and Power monitoring.

• Communications capability (RS485, RS232 or Ethernet)

• Engine parameter monitoring.

• Fully configurable inputs for use as alarms or a range of different functions.

• Engine ECU interface to electronic engines.

Using a PC and the DSE Configuration Suite software allows alteration of selected operational sequences, timers, alarms and operational sequences. Additionally, the module’s integral fascia configuration editor allows adjustment of a subset of this information.

A robust plastic case designed for front panel mounting houses the module. Connections are via locking plug and sockets..

Access to critical operational sequences and timers for use by qualified engineers, can be protected by a security code. Module access can also be protected by PIN code. Selected parameters can be changed from the module’s front panel.

The module is housed in a robust plastic case suitable for panel mounting. Connections to the module are via locking plug and sockets.

3.5.1 VA RATING OF THE CTS

The VA burden of the module on the CTs is 0.5VA. However depending upon the type and length of cabling between the CTs and the module, CTs with a greater VA rating than the module are required.

The distance between the CTs and the measuring module should be estimated and cross-referenced against the chart opposite to find the VA burden of the cable itself.

If the CTs are fitted within the alternator top box, the star point (common) of the CTs should be connected to system ground (earth) as close as possible to the CTs. This minimises the length of cable used to connect the CTs to the DSE module.

Example. If 1.5mm² cable is used and the distance from the CT to the measuring module is 20m, then the burden of the cable alone is approximately 15VA. As the burden of the DSE controller is

0.5VA, then a CT with a rating of at least 15+0.5V = 15.5VA must be used. If 2.5mm² cables are used over the same distance of 20m, then the burden of the cable on the CT is approximately 7VA. CT’s required in this instance is at least 7.5VA (7+0.5).

3.5.2 CT POLARITY

Take care to ensure the correct polarity of the CTs. Incorrect CT orientation will lead to negative kW readings when the set is supplying power. Take note that paper stick-on labels on CTs that show the orientation are often incorrectly placed on the CT (!). It is more reliable to use the labelling in the case moulding as an indicator to orientation (if available). To test orientation, run the generator in island mode (not in parallel with any other supply) and load the generator to around 10% of the set rating. Ensure the DSE module shows positive kW for all three individual phase readings.

3.5.3 CT PHASING

Take particular care that the CTs are connected to the correct phases. For instance, ensure that the CT on phase 1 is connected to the terminal on the DSE module intended for connection to the CT for phase 1. Additionally ensure that the voltage sensing for phase 1 is actually connected to generator phase 1. Incorrect connection of the phases as described above will result in incorrect power factor (pf) measurements, which in turn results in incorrect kW measurements. One way to check for this is to make use of a single-phase load. Place the load on each phase in turn, run the generator and ensure the kW value appears in the correct phase. For instance if the load is connected to phase 3, ensure the kW figure appears in phase 3 display and not in the display for phase 1 or 2.

3.5.4 CT CLASS

Ensure the correct CT type is chosen. For instance if the DSE module is providing overcurrent protection, ensure the CT is capable of measuring the overload level you wish to protect against, and at the accuracy level you require. For instance, this may mean fitting a protection class CT (P10 type) to maintain high accuracy while the CT is measuring overload currents. Conversely, if the DSE module is using the CT for instrumentation only (current protection is disabled or not fitted to the controller), then measurement class CTs can be used. Again, bear in mind the accuracy you require. The DSE module is accurate to better than 1% of the full-scale current reading. To maintain this accuracy you should fit Class 0.5 or Class 1 CTs.

You should check with your CT manufacturer for further advice on selecting your CTs

The charge fail input is actually a combined input and output. Whenever the generator is required to run, the terminal provides excitation current to the charge alternator field winding. When the charge alternator is correctly charging the battery, the voltage of the terminal is close to the plant battery supply voltage. In a failed charge situation, the voltage of this terminal is pulled down to a low voltage. It is this drop in voltage that triggers the charge failure alarm. The level at which this operates and whether this triggers a warning or shutdown alarm is configurable using the DSE Config Suite Software.

3.7.2.1 CONTACTOR COILS

Use output D, the normally open relay:

Generator

DSE output drives the contactor coil, via external slave relay if required. When the DSE module requires the contactor closed, the output energises (closing the internal relay) When the DSE module requires the contactor to be open, the output is de-energised (opening the internal relay)

3.7.2.2 UNDERVOLTAGE (UV COILS)

Use output C, the normally closed relay :

Generator

DSE output drives the UV coil, via external slave relay if required. When the generator starts, the UV is powered via the normally closed relay. The breaker is now ready for the close signal to be given. When the breaker is to be opened, the Open Generator Pulse relay is operated, removing power from the UV coil for one second. This causes the breaker to trip (open) as the UV is no longer powered. The Open Generator Pulse relay switches back to its closed state, ready to power the UV coil the next time the

3.9 COMMUNICATION PORT USAGE

3.9.1 CAN INTERFACE

Modules are fitted with the CAN interface as standard and are capable of receiving engine data from engine CAN controllers compliant with the CAN standard. CAN enabled engine controllers monitor the engine’s operating

parameters such as engine speed, oil pressure, engine temperature (among others) in order to closely monitor and control the engine. The industry standard communications interface (CAN) transports data gathered by the engine controller interface. This allows generator controllers to access these engine parameters with no physical connection to the sensor device.

NOTE:- For further details for connections to CAN enabled engines and the functions available with each engine type, refer to the manual Electronic Engines and DSE Wiring. Part No. 057-004

Specification

3.9.2 USB CONNECTION

The USB port is provided to give a simple means of connection between a PC and the controller. Using the DSE Configuration Suite Software, the operator is then able to control the module, starting or stopping the generator, selecting operating modes, etc. Additionally, the various operating parameters (such as output volts, oil pressure, etc.) of the remote generator are available to be viewed or changed.

To connect a module to a PC by USB, the following items are required:

• DSE7400 series module

• DSE Configuration Suite PC Software

(Supplied on configuration suite software CD or available from www.deepseaplc.com).

• USB cable Type A to Type B. (This is the same cable as often used between a PC and a USB printer)

DSE can supply this cable if required : PC Configuration interface lead (USB type A – type B) DSE Part No 016-125

NOTE:- The DC supply must be connected to the module for configuration by PC.

NOTE:- Refer to DSE7400 Series Configuration Suite Manual (DSE part 057-160) for further

details on configuring, monitoring and control.

3.9.3 USB HOST-MASTER (USB DRIVE CONNECTION)

details on configuring, monitoring and control.

Specification

3.9.4 RS232

The RS232 port on the controller supports the Modbus RTU protocol. The Gencomm register table for the controller is available upon request from the DSE Technical Support Department.

RS232 is for short distance communication (max 15m) and is typically used to connect the controller to a telephone or GSM modem for more remote communications.

Many PCs are not fitted with an internal RS232 serial port. DSE DOES NOT recommend the use of USB to RS232 convertors but can recommend PC add-ons to provide the computer with an RS232 port.

• Sierra Fastrak Xtend GSM modem kit (PSU, Antenna and modem)* DSE Part number 0830-001-01

NOTE: *For GSM modems a SIM card is required, supplied by your GSM network provider :

• For SMS only, a ‘normal’ voice SIM card is required. This enables the controller to send SMS messages to designated mobile phones upon status and alarm conditions.

• For a data connection to a PC running DSE Configuration Suite Software, a ‘special’ CSD (Circuit Switched Data) SIM card is required that will enable the modem to answer an incoming data call. Many ‘pay as you go’ services will not provide a CSD (Circuit Switched Data) SIM card.

Specification

3.9.5 RS485

The RS485 port on the series controller supports the Modbus RTU protocol. The DSE Gencomm register table for the controller is available upon request from the DSE Technical Support Department.

RS485 is used for point-to-point cable connection of more than one device (maximum 32 devices) and allows for connection to PCs, PLCs and Building Management Systems (to name just a few devices).

One advantage of the RS485 interface is the large distance specification (1.2km when using Belden 9841 (or equivalent) cable. This allows for a large distance between the module and a PC running the DSE Configuration Suite software. The operator is then able to control the module, starting or stopping the generator, selecting operating modes, etc. The various operating parameters (such as output volts, oil pressure, etc.) of the remote generator can be viewed or changed.

NOTE:- For a single module to PC connection and distances up to 6m (8yds) the USB

connection method is more suitable and provides for a lower cost alternative to RS485 (which is more suited to longer distance connections).

3.9.6.5 FIREWALL CONFIGURATION FOR INTERNET ACCESS

As modem/routers differ enormously in their configuration, it is not possible for DSE to give a complete guide to their use with the module. However it is possible to give a description of the requirements in generic terms. For details of how to achieve the connection to your modem/router you are referred to the supplier of your modem/router equipment.

The module makes its data available over Modbus TCP and as such communicates over the Ethernet using a Port configured via the DSE Configuration Suite software..

You must configure your modem/router to allow inbound traffic on this port. For more information you are referred to your WAN interface device (modem/router) manufacturer.

It is also important to note that if the port assigned (setting from software “Modbus Port Number”) is already in use on the LAN, the module cannot be used and another port must be used .

Outgoing Firewall rule

As the module makes its user interface available to standard web browsers, all communication uses the chosen port. It is usual for a firewall to make the same port outgoing open for communication.

Incoming traffic (virtual server)

Network Address and Port Translation (NAPT) allows a single device, such as the modem/router gateway, to act as an agent between the Internet (or "public external network") and a local (or "internal private") network. This means that only a single, unique IP address is required to represent an entire group of computers.

For our application, this means that the WAN IP address of the modem/router is the IP address we need to access the site from an external (internet) location.

When the requests reach the modem/router, we want this passed to a ‘virtual server’ for handling, in our case this is the module.

Result : Traffic arriving from the WAN (internet) on port xxx is automatically sent to IP address set within the configuration software on the LAN for handling.

NOTE:- Refer to DSE7400 Series Configuration Suite Manual (DSE part 057-160) for further

details on configuring, monitoring and control.

Maximum 40 additional inputs (All can be configured as either digital, resistive, 0-10V or 4-20mA when using DSE2131)

NOTE: As a termination resistor is internally fitted to the host controller, the host controller must be the ‘first’ unit on the DSENet®. A termination resistor MUST be fitted to the ‘last’ unit on the DSENet®. For connection details, you are referred to the section entitled ‘typical wiring diagram’ elsewhere in this document.

NOTE : DSE7400 series module does not support the DSE2510/2520 display modules.

3.10.1 DSENET® USED FOR MODBUS ENGINE CONNECTION

As DSENet® utilises an RS485 hardware interface, this port can be configured for connection to Cummins Modbus engines (Engines fitted with Cummins GCS). This leaves the RS485 interface free for connection to remote monitoring equipment (i.e. Building Management System, PLC or PC RS485 port).

While this is a very useful feature in some applications, the obvious drawback is that the DSENet® interface is no longer available for connection to expansion devices.

Example of configuring the DSENet® for connection to Cummins QST GCS using the DSE Configuration Suite Software:

3.11 SOUNDER

The module features an internal sounder to draw attention to warning, shutdown and electrical trip alarms.

Sounder level 64db @ 1m

3.11.1 ADDING AN EXTERNAL SOUNDER TO THE APPLICATION

Should an external alarm or indicator be required, this can be achieved by using the DSE Configuration Suite PC software to configure an auxiliary output for “Audible Alarm”, and by configuring an auxiliary input for “Alarm Mute” (if required). The audible alarm output activates and de-activates at the same time as the module’s internal sounder. The Alarm mute input and internal alarm mute button activate ‘in parallel’ with each other. Either signal will mute both the internal sounder and audible alarm output.

Example of configuration to achieve external sounder with external alarm mute button:

NOTE: - It is VERY important that terminal 15 (sensor common) is soundly connected to an earth point on the ENGINE BLOCK, not within the control panel, and must be a sound electrical connection to the sensor bodies. This connection MUST NOT be used to provide an earth connection for other terminals or devices. The simplest way to achieve this is to run a SEPARATE earth connection from the system earth star point, to terminal 15 directly, and not use this earth for other connections.

5.4.6 RS232 SERIAL PORT

This section is included to give information about the RS232 serial port and external modem (if connected). The items displayed on this page will change depending upon configuration of the module. You are referred to your system supplier for further details.

NOTE:- Factory Default settings are for the RS232 port to be enabled with no modem connected, operating at 19200 baud, modbus slave address 10.

Example 1 – Module connected to an RS232 telephone modem.

When the module is powered up, it will send ‘initialisation strings’ to the connected modem. It is important therefore that the modem is already powered, or is powered up at the same time as the module. At regular intervals after power up, the modem is reset, and reinitialised, to ensure the modem does not ‘hang up’.

If the module does not correctly communicate with the modem, “Modem initialising’ appears on the Serial Port instrument screen as shown overleaf.

If the module is set for “incoming calls” or for “incoming and outgoing calls”, then if the modem is dialled, it will answer after two rings (using the factory setting ‘initialisation strings)’. Once the call is established, all data is passed from the dialling PC and the module.

If the module is set for “outgoing calls” or for “incoming and outgoing calls”, then the module will dial out whenever an alarm is generated. Note that not all alarms will generate a dial out; this is dependant upon module configuration of the event log. Any item configured to appear in the event log will cause a dial out.

Modem Setup Sequence

If the Modem and module communicate successfully:

In case of communication failure between the modem and module, the modem is automatically reset and initialisation is attempted once more:

3) In the case of a module that is unable to communicate with the modem, the display will

continuously cycle between ‘Modem Reset’ and ‘Modem Initialising’ as the module resets the modem and attempts to communicate with it again, this will continue until correct communication is established with the modem. In this instance, you should check connections and verify the modem operation.

Example 2 – Module connected to a modem.

Example 3 – Modem status of a GSM modem

Currently connected GSM operator and signal strength.

Many GSM modems are fitted with a status LED to show operator cell status and ringing indicator. These can be a useful troubleshooting tool.

In the case of GSM connection problems, try calling the DATA number of the SIMCARD with an ordinary telephone. There should be two rings, followed by the modem answering the call and then ‘squealing’. If this does not happen, you should check all modem connections and double check with the SIM provider that it is a DATA SIM and can operate as a data modem. DATA is NOT the same as FAX or GPRS and is often called Circuit Switched Data (CSD) by the SIM provider.

5.4.7 RS485 SERIAL PORT

This section is included to give information about the currently selected serial port and external modem (if connected). The items displayed on this page will change depending upon configuration of the module. You are referred to your system supplier for further details.

NOTE:- Factory Default settings are for the RS485 port to operating at 19200 baud, modbus

slave address 10.

Module RS485 port configured for connection to a modbus master.

The modules operate as a modbus RTU slave device. In a modbus system, there can be only one Master, typically a PLC, HMI system or PC SCADA system.

This master requests for information from the modbus slave (The module) and may (in control systems) also send request to change operating modes etc. Unless the Master makes a request, the slave is ‘quiet’ on the data link.

The factory settings are for the module to communicate at 19200 baud, modbus slave address 10. To use the RS485 port, ensure that ‘port usage’ is correctly set using the DSE Configuration Suite Software. Required settings are shown below.

‘Master inactivity timeout’ should be set to at least twice the value of the system scan time. For example if a modbus master PLC requests data from the module once per second, the timeout should be set to at least 2 seconds.

The DSE Modbus Gencomm document containing register mappings inside the DSE module is available upon request from support@deepseaplc.com. Email your request along with the serial number of your DSE module to ensure the correct information is sent to you.

5.5 VIEWING THE EVENT LOG

The module maintains a log of past alarms and/or selected status changes. The log size has been increased in the module over past module updates and is always subject to change. At the time of writing, the modules log is capable of storing the last 250 log entries.

Under default factory settings, the event log only includes shutdown and electrical trip alarms logged (The event log does not contain Warning alarms); however, this is configurable by the system designer using the DSE Configuration Suite software.

Example showing the possible configuration of the modules event log (DSE Configuration Suite Software) This also shows the factory settings of the module (Only shutdown alarms and the mains status are logged).

Once the log is full, any subsequent shutdown alarms will overwrite the oldest entry in the log. Hence, the log will always contain the most recent shutdown alarms. The module logs the alarm, along with the date and time of the event (or engine running hours if configured to do so). If the module is configured and connected to send SMS text

Operation

6.2 CONTROL PUSH-BUTTONS

Stop / Reset

This button places the module into its Stop/Reset mode. This will clear any alarm conditions for which the triggering criteria have been removed. If the engine is running and the module is in Stop mode, the module will automatically instruct the changeover device to unload the generator (‘Close Generator’ becomes inactive (if used)). The fuel supply de-energises and the engine comes to a standstill. Should a remote start signal be present while operating in this mode, a remote start will not occur. Manual This mode allows manual control of the generator functions. Once in Manual

mode the module will respond to the start button, start the engine, and

run off load. If the engine is running off-load in the Manual mode and a remote start signal becomes present, the module will automatically instruct the changeover device to place the generator on load (‘Close Generator’ becomes active (if used)). Upon removal of the remote start signal, the generator

remains on load until either selection of the ‘STOP/RESET ’ or ‘AUTO ’ modes.

For further details, please see the more detailed description of ‘Manual operation’ elsewhere in this manual.

Test (DSE7420 only)

This button places the module into its ‘Test’ mode. This allows an on load test of the generator.

Once in Test mode the module will respond to the start button, start the engine, and run on load.

For further details, please see the more detailed description of ‘Test operation’ elsewhere in this manual.

Auto This button places the module into its ‘Automatic’ mode. This mode allows the module to control the function of the generator automatically. The module will monitor the remote start input and mains supply status and once a start request is made, the set will be automatically started and placed on load. Upon removal of the starting signal, the module will automatically transfer the load from the generator and shut the set down observing the stop delay timer and cooling timer as necessary. The module will then await the next start event.

For further details, please see the more detailed description of ‘Auto operation’ elsewhere in this manual.

Mute / Lamp Test

This button silences the audible alarm if it is sounding and illuminates all of the LEDs as a lamp test feature/ When correctly configured and fitted to a compatible engine ECU, pressing this

6.3 ALTERNATIVE CONFIGURATIONS

Depending upon the configuration of your system by the generator supplier, the system may have selectable configurations (for example to select between 50Hz and 60Hz running). If this has been enabled your generator supplier will advise how this selection can be made (usually by externally operated selector switch or by selecting the required configuration file in the module front panel configuration editor).

Operation

6.4 DUMMY LOAD / LOAD SHEDDING CONTROL

This feature may be enabled by the system designer to ensure the loading on the generator is kept to a nominal amount. If the load is low, ‘dummy loads’ (typically static load banks) can be introduced to ensure the engine is not too lightly loaded. Conversely as the load increases towards the maximum rating of the set, non-essential loads can be shed to prevent overload of the generator.

6.2.1 DUMMY LOAD CONTROL

The dummy load control feature (if enabled) allows for a maximum of five dummy load steps. When the set is first started, all configured Dummy Load Control outputs are de-energised. Once the generator is placed onto load, the generator loading is monitored by the Dummy Load Control scheme.

If the generator loading falls below the Dummy Load Control Trip setting (kW), the Dummy Load Control Trip Delay is displayed on the module display. If the generator loading remains at this low level for the duration of the timer, the first Dummy Load Control output is energised. This is used to energise external circuits to switch in (for instance) a static load bank.

The generator loading has now been increased by the first dummy load. Again the generator loading is monitored. This continues until all configured Dummy Load Control outputs are energised. Should the generator loading rise above the Dummy Load Return level, the Dummy Load Return Delay begins. If the loading remains at these levels after the completion of the timer, the ‘highest’ active Dummy Load Control output is de-energised. This continues until all Dummy Load Control outputs have been de-energised.

6.2.2 LOAD SHEDDING CONTROL

The Load Shedding Control feature (if enabled) allows for a maximum of five load shedding steps. When the generator is about to take load, the configured number of Load Shedding Control Outputs at Startup will energise. This configurable setting allows (for instance) certain loads to be removed from the generator prior to the set’s load switch being closed. This can be used to ensure the initial loading of the set is kept to a minimum, below the Load Acceptance specification of the generating set.

The generator is then placed on load. The Load Shedding Control scheme begins. When the load reaches the Load Shedding Trip level the Trip Delay timer will start. If the generator loading is still high when the timer expires, the first Load shedding Control output will energise. When the load has been above the trip level for the duration of the timer the ‘next’ Load shedding Control output will energise and so on until all Load Shedding Control outputs are energised.

If at any time the load falls back below the Load Shedding Return level, the Return Time will start. If the load remains below the return level when the timer has expired the ‘highest’ Load Shedding Control output that has been energised will be de-energised. This process will continue until all outputs have been de-energised. When the set enters a stopping sequence for any reason the Load Shedding control’ outputs will deenergise at the same time as the generator load switch is signalled to open.

NOTE:- Refer to DSE7400 Series Configuration Suite Manual (DSE part 057-160) for further

details on configuration.

Operation

6.5 STOP MODE

STOP mode is activated by pressing the button.

In STOP mode, the module will remove the generator from load (if necessary) before stopping the engine if it is already running.

If the engine does not stop when requested, the FAIL TO STOP alarm is activated (subject to the setting of the Fail to Stop timer). To detect the engine at rest the following must occur :

• Engine speed is zero as detected by the Magnetic Pickup or CANbus ECU (depending upon module variant).

• Generator frequency must be zero.

• Oil pressure switch must be closed to indicate low oil pressure (MPU version only)

When the engine has stopped, it is possible to send configuration files to the module from DSE Configuration Suite PC software and to enter the Front Panel Editor to change parameters.

Any latched alarms that have been cleared will be reset when STOP mode is entered.

The engine will not be started when in STOP mode. If remote start signals are given, the input is ignored until AUTO mode is entered.

When configured to do so, When left in STOP mode for five minutes with no presses of the fascia buttons, the module enters low power mode. To ‘wake’ the module, press the button or any other

fascia control button.

Sleep mode configuration in the DSE Configuration Suite Software

Operation

6.5.1 ECU OVERRIDE

NOTE:- ECU Override function is only applicable when the controller is configured for a

CAN engine.

NOTE:- Depending upon system design, the ECU may be powered or unpowered when the module is in STOP mode. ECU override is only applicable if the ECU is unpowered when in STOP mode.

When the ECU powered down (as is normal when in STOP mode), it is not possible to read the diagnostic trouble codes or instrumentation. Additionally, it is not possible to use the engine manufacturers’ configuration tools.

As the ECU is usually unpowered when the engine is not running, it must be turned on manually as follows :

• Select STOP mode on the DSE controller.

• Press and hold the START button to power the ECU. As the controller is in STOP mode,

the engine will not be started.

• The ECU will remain powered 2 minutes after the START button is released.

This is also useful if the engine manufacturer’s tools need to be connected to the engine, for instance to configure the engine as the ECU needs to be powered up to perform this operation.

Operation

6.6 MANUAL MODE

NOTE:- If a digital input configured to panel lock is active, changing module modes will not be possible. Viewing the instruments and event logs is NOT affected by panel lock.

Activate Manual mode be pressing the pushbutton. An LED indicator beside the button confirms this action.

Manual mode allows the operator to start and stop the set manually, and if required change the state of the load switching devices.

6.6.1 WAITING IN MANUAL MODE

When in manual mode, the set will not start automatically. To begin the starting sequence, press the

button.

6.6.2 STARTING SEQUENCE

NOTE:- There is no start delay in this mode of operation.

The fuel relay is energised and the engine is cranked.

NOTE:- If the unit has been configured for CAN, compatible ECU’s will receive the start command via CAN.

If the engine fails to fire during this cranking attempt then the starter motor is disengaged for the crank rest duration after which the next start attempt is made. Should this sequence continue beyond the set

number of attempts, the start sequence will be terminated and the display shows Fail to Start. When the engine fires, the starter motor is disengaged. Speed detection is factory configured to be

derived from the main alternator output frequency but can additionally be measured from a Magnetic Pickup mounted on the flywheel (Selected by the configuration software).

Additionally, rising oil pressure can be used disconnect the starter motor (but cannot detect underspeed or overspeed).

NOTE:- If the unit has been configured for CAN, speed sensing is via CAN.

After the starter motor has disengaged, the Safety On timer activates, allowing Oil Pressure, High Engine Temperature, Under-speed, Charge Fail and any delayed Auxiliary fault inputs to stabilise without triggering the fault.

Operation

6.6.3 ENGINE RUNNING

In manual mode, the load is not transferred to the generator unless a ‘loading request’ is made. A loading request can come from a number of sources.

• Pressing the transfer to generator button

• Mains supply out of limits (DSE7420 only)

• Activation of an auxiliary input that has been configured to remote start on load

• Activation of the inbuilt exercise scheduler if configured for ‘on load’ runs.

NOTE:-The load transfer signal remains inactive until the Oil Pressure has risen. This prevents excessive wear on the engine.

Once the load has been transferred to the generator, it will not be automatically transferred back to the mains supply. To manually transfer the load back to the mains either:

• Press the Transfer to Mains button (DSE7420 only)

• Press the Open Generator button (DSE7410 only)

• Press the Auto Mode button to return to automatic mode.

Operation

6.7.3 ENGINE RUNNING

Once the engine is running, the Warm Up timer, if selected, begins, allowing the engine to stabilise before accepting the load.

Load will be automatically transferred from the mains supply to the generator.

NOTE:-The load transfer signal remains inactive until the Oil Pressure has risen. This

prevents excessive wear on the engine.

In test mode, the set will continue to run on load until either:

• The stop button is pressed – The set will immediately stop

• The auto button is pressed. The set will observe all auto mode start requests and stopping

timers before beginning the Auto mode stopping sequence.

Operation

NOTE:- If a digital input configured to panel lock is active, changing module modes will

not be possible. Viewing the instruments and event logs is NOT affected by panel lock.

Activate auto mode be pressing the pushbutton. An LED indicator beside the button confirms this action.

Auto mode will allow the generator to operate fully automatically, starting and stopping as required with no user intervention.

6.8.1 WAITING IN AUTO MODE

If a starting request is made, the starting sequence will begin. Starting requests can be from the following sources:

• Mains supply out of limits (DSE7420 only)

• Activation of an auxiliary input that has been configured to remote start on load or remote

start off load.

• Activation of the inbuilt exercise scheduler.

• Instruction from external remote telemetry devices using the RS232 or RS485 interface

6.8.2 STARTING SEQUENCE

To allow for ‘false’ start requests such as mains brownouts, the start delay timer begins. There are individual start delay timers for each of the different start request types.

Should all start requests be removed during the start delay timer, the unit will return to a stand-by state.

If a start request is still present at the end of the start delay timer, the fuel relay is energised and the engine will be cranked.

NOTE:- If the unit has been configured for CAN, compatible ECU’s will receive the start

command via CAN.

If the engine fails to fire during this cranking attempt then the starter motor is disengaged for the crank rest duration after which the next start attempt begins. Should this sequence continue beyond the set

number of attempts, the start sequence will be terminated and the display shows Fail to Start. The starter motor is disengaged when the engine fires. Speed detection is factory configured to be

derived from the main alternator output frequency, but can additionally be measured from a Magnetic Pickup mounted on the flywheel (Selected by PC using the configuration software).

Additionally, rising oil pressure can be used to disconnect the starter motor (but cannot detect underspeed or overspeed).

NOTE:- If the unit has been configured for CAN, speed sensing is via CAN.

Operation

6.8.3 ENGINE RUNNING

Once the engine is running, the Warm Up timer, if selected, begins, allowing the engine to stabilise before accepting the load.

DSE7410 - The generator will be placed on load. DSE7420 - Load will be transferred from the mains supply to the generator

NOTE:-The load transfer signal remains inactive until the Oil Pressure has risen. This

prevents excessive wear on the engine.

As the load increases and decreases, the module may (depending upon configuration) add dummy loads or remove non-essential loads. This is configured as part of the Load Shedding and Dummy Load control settings in the DSE Configuration Suite Software. See section entitled Dummy Load / Load Shedding elsewhere in this document for further details.

If all start requests are removed, the stopping sequence will begin.

6.8.4 STOPPING SEQUENCE

The return delay timer operates to ensure that the starting request has been permanently removed and isn’t just a short term removal. Should another start request be made during the cooling down period, the set will return on load.

If there are no starting requests at the end of the return delay timer, the load is transferred back from the generator to the mains supply and the cooling timer is initiated.

The cooling timer allows the set to run off load and cool sufficiently before being stopped. This is particularly important where turbo chargers are fitted to the engine.

After the cooling timer has expired, the set is stopped.

Protections

Protections

7.1 PROTECTIONS DISABLED

User configuration is possible to prevent Shutdown / Electrical Trip alarms from stopping the engine. Under such conditions, Protections Disabled will appear on the module display to inform the operator of this status.

This feature is provided to assist the system designer in meeting specifications for “Warning only”, “Protections Disabled”, “Run to Destruction”, “War mode” or other similar wording.

When configuring this feature in the PC software, the system designer chooses to make the feature either permanently active, or only active upon operation of an external switch. The system designer provides this switch (not DSE) so its location will vary depending upon manufacturer, however it normally takes the form of a key operated switch to prevent inadvertent activation. Depending upon configuration, a warning alarm may be generated when the switch is operated.

The feature is configurable in the PC configuration software for the module. Writing a configuration to the controller that has “Protections Disabled” configured, results in a warning message appearing on the PC screen for the user to acknowledge before the controller’s configuration is changed. This prevents inadvertent activation of the feature.

7.1.1 INDICATION / WARNING ALARMS

ECU WARNING

If the module is configured for, CAN and receives an “error” message from the engine control unit, ‘CAN ECU Warning” is shown on the module’s display and a warning alarm is generated.

Shutdown and electrical trip alarms can be disabled by user configuration. In this case, Protections Disabled will appear on the module display; The alarm text is displayed but the engine will continue to run. This is ‘logged’ by the module to allow DSE Technical Staff to check if the protections have been disabled on the module at any time. The module detects that the engine oil pressure has fallen below the low oil pressure pre-alarm setting level after the Safety On timer has expired. The module detects that the engine coolant temperature has exceeded the high engine temperature pre-alarm setting level after the Safety On timer has expired. The module detects that the engine coolant temperature has fallen below the high engine temperature pre-alarm setting level.

The engine speed has risen above the overspeed pre alarm setting The engine speed has fallen below the underspeed pre alarm setting The generator output frequency has risen above the pre-set pre-alarm setting. The generator output frequency has fallen below the pre-set pre-alarm setting after the Safety On timer has expired. The generator output voltage has risen above the pre-set pre-alarm setting. The generator output voltage has fallen below the pre-set pre-alarm setting after the Safety On timer has expired. f the generator reach full load when they are in parallel with the mains (utility). The LCD will indicate ‘INSUFFICIENT CAPACITY’ and the COMMON ALARM LED will illuminate. If the mains breaker fails to close, a warning is initiated. The LCD will indicate ‘MAINS FAILED TO CLOSE’ and the COMMON ALARM LED will illuminate. If the mains breaker fails to open, a warning is initiated. The LCD will indicate ‘MAINS FAILED TO OPEN’ and the COMMON ALARM LED will illuminate. The engine ECU has detected a warning alarm and has informed the DSE module of this situation. The exact error is also indicated on the module’s display.

7.4 HIGH CURRENT WARNING ALARM

GENERATOR HIGH CURRENT, if the module detects a generator output current in excess of the pre-

set trip a warning alarm initiates. The module shows Alarm Warning High Current. If this high current condition continues for an excess period, then the alarm escalates to a shutdown condition. For further details of the high current alarm, please see High Current Shutdown Alarm.

By default, High Current Warning Alarm is self-resetting when the overcurrent condition is removed. However enabling ‘all warnings are latched’ will cause the alarm to latch until reset manually. This is enabled using the DSE Configuration Suite in conjunction with a compatible PC.

7.6 ELECTRICAL TRIPS

NOTE:- Shutdown and Electrical Trip alarms can be disabled by user configuration. See

the section entitled Protections Disabled elsewhere in this document.

Electrical trips are latching and stop the Generator but in a controlled manner. On initiation of the electrical trip condition the module will de-energise the ‘Close Generator’ Output to remove the load from the generator. Once this has occurred the module will start the Cooling timer and allow the engine to cool off-load before shutting down the engine. The alarm must be accepted and cleared, and the fault removed to reset the module.

Example

7.7 HIGH CURRENT SHUTDOWN / ELECTRICAL TRIP ALARM

The overcurrent alarm combines a simple warning trip level with a fully functioning IDMT curve for thermal protection.

7.7.1 IMMEDIATE WARNING

If the Immediate Warning is enabled, the controller generates a warning alarm as soon as the Trip level is reached. The alarm automatically resets once the generator loading current falls below the Trip level (unless All Warnings are latched is enabled). For further advice, consult your generator supplier.

7.7.2 IDMT ALARM

If the IDMT Alarm is enabled, the controller begins following the IDMT ‘curve’ when the trip level is passed.

If the Trip is surpassed for an excess amount of time the IDMT Alarm triggers (Shutdown or Electric trip as selected in Action).

High current shutdown is a latching alarm and stops the Generator. Remove the fault then press Stop/Reset to reset the module.

High current electrical trip is a latching alarm and removes the generator from the load, before stopping the Generator after the off load cooling timer.

Remove the fault then press Stop/Reset to reset the module.

The higher the overload, the faster the trip. The speed of the trip is dependent upon the fixed formula:

T = t / ((IA / I T) – 1)

Where: T is the tripping time in seconds

IA is the actual current of the most highly loaded line (L1 or L2 or L3) IT is the delayed over-current trip point t is the time multiplier setting and also represents the tripping time in seconds at twice full load (when IA / IT = 2).

Protections

Factory settings for the IDMT Alarm when used on a brushless alternator are as follows (screen capture from the DSE Configuration Suite PC software :

(Trip setting value)

(time multiplier)

These settings provide for normal running of the generator up to 100% full load. If full load is surpassed, the Immediate Warning alarm is triggered, the set continues to run. The effect of an overload on the generator is that the alternator windings begin to overheat; the aim of the IDMT alarm is to prevent the windings being overload (heated) too much. The amount of time that the set can be safely overloaded is governed by how high the overload condition is.

With typical settings as above, the tripping curve is followed as shown below. This allows for overload of the set to the limits of the Typical Brushless Alternator whereby 110%

overload is permitted for 1 hour. If the set load reduces, the controller then follows a cooling curve. This means that a second overload

condition may trip much sooner than the first as the controller knows if the windings have not cooled sufficiently.

For further details on the Thermal damage curve of your alternator, you are referred to your alternator manufacturer and generator supplier.

7.8 EARTH FAULT SHUTDOWN / ELECTRICAL TRIP ALARM

When the module is suitably connected using the ‘Earth Fault CT’. The module measures Earth Fault and can optionally be configured to generate an alarm condition (shutdown or electrical trip) when a specified level is surpassed.

If the Earth Fault alarm is enabled, the controller begins following the IDMT ‘curve’. If the Trip is surpassed for an excess amount of time the Alarm triggers (Shutdown or Electric trip as selected in Action).

The higher the Earth Fault, the faster the trip. The speed of the trip is dependent upon the fixed formula :

T = K x 0.14 / ((I / Is)

Where: T is the tripping time in seconds (accurate to +/- 5% or +/- 50ms (whichever is the greater)

Maintenance Alarm

7.10 MAINTENANCE ALARM

Depending upon module configuration one or more levels of maintenance alarm may occur based upon a configurable schedule.

Example 1 Screen capture from DSE Configuration Suite

Software showing the configuration of Maintenance Alarm 1 and Maintenance Alarm

2. When activated, the maintenance alarm can

be either a warning (set continues to run) or shutdown (running the set is not possible). Resetting the maintenance alarm is normally actioned by the site service engineer after performing the required maintenance. The method of reset is either by:

• Activating a input that has been configured to maintenance x reset, where x is the number of the maintenance alarm (1 to 3).

• Pressing the maintenance reset button in the DSE Configuration Suite, Maintenance section.

Example 2

Scheduler

8 SCHEDULER

The controller contains an inbuilt exercise run scheduler, capable of automatically starting and stopping the set. Up to 16 scheduled start/stop sequences can be configured to repeat on a 7-day or 28-day cycle. Scheduled runs may be on load or off load depending upon module configuration.

Example

Screen capture from DSE Configuration Suite Software showing the configuration of the Exercise Scheduler.

In this example the set will start at 09:00 on Monday and run for 5 hours, then start at 13:30 on Tuesday and run for 30 minutes.

8.1.1 STOP MODE

• Scheduled runs will not occur when the module is in STOP/RESET mode.

8.1.2 MANUAL MODE

• Scheduled runs will not occur when the module is in MANUAL mode.

• Activation of a Scheduled Run ‘On Load’ when the module is operating OFF LOAD in Manual

mode will have no effect, the set continues to run OFF LOAD

8.1.3 AUTO MODE

• Scheduled runs will operate ONLY if the module is in AUTO mode with no Shutdown or Electrical Trip alarm present.

• If the module is in STOP or MANUAL mode when a scheduled run begins, the engine will not be started. However, if the module is moved into AUTO mode during a scheduled

run, the engine will be called to start.

• Depending upon configuration by the system designer, an external input can be used to inhibit a scheduled run.

• If the engine is running OFF LOAD in AUTO mode and a scheduled run configured to ‘On Load’ begins, the set is placed ON LOAD for the duration of the Schedule.
