1 INTRODUCTION

This document details the installation and operation requirements of the DSE8660 MKII module and is part of the DSE

Genset® 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. DSE do not automatically inform on updates. Any future updates of this document are included on the DSE website at www.deepseaplc.com

The DSE86xx MKII 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 DSE8660 MKII module 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.

Synchronsing and Load Sharing features are included within the controller, along with the necessary protections for such a system.

The user also has the facility to view the system operating parameters via the text LCD display. The DSE8660 MKII module has been designed to monitor the mains (utility) supply and automatically

start/stop one or more generator sets equipped with DSE8610 MKII controllers depending upon the status of the mains (utility) supply.

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

Text based LCD display True RMS Voltage Current and Power monitoring USB, RS232, RS485 and Ethernet Communications Fully configurable inputs for use as alarms or a range of different functions. Synchronising and load sharing with load demand start/stop Integral PLC to help provide customisation where required Data Logging R.O.C.O.F. and vector shift protection for detection of mains failure when in parallel with the mains.

The DSE Configuration Suite PC Software allows alteration of selected operational sequences, timers, alarms and operational sequences. Additionally, the module’s integral front panel configuration editor allows adjustment of this information.

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.

2.6.1 VA RATING OF THE CTS

NOTE: Details for 4 mm² cables are shown for reference only. The connectors on the DSE

modules are only suitable for cables up to 2.5 mm².

The VA burden of the module on the CTs is 0.5 VA. 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 1.5 mm² cable is used and the distance from the CT to the measuring module is 20 m, then the burden of the cable alone is approximately 15 VA. As the burden of the DSE controller is .5 VA, then a CT with a rating of at least 15 VA + 0.5 VA = 15.5 VA must

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

Specification

057-259 ISSUE: 1 Page 16 of 146

2.6.2 CT POLARITY

NOTE: Take care to ensure correct polarity of the CT primary as shown above. If in doubt,

check with the CT supplier.

Take care to ensure the correct polarity of the CTs. Incorrect CT orientation leads 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.

To Load

Polarity of CT Primary

2.6.3 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 results 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.

2.6.4 CT CLASS

Ensure the correct CT type is chosen. For instance if the DSE module is providing over current protection, ensure the CT is capable of measuring the overload level required to protect against, and at the accuracy level required.

For instance, this may mean fitting a protection class CT (P15 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 required. The DSE module is accurate to better than 1% of the full-scale current reading. To maintain this accuracy, fit a Class 0.5 or Class 1 CT.

Check with the CT manufacturer for further advice on selecting CTs.

2.10.2 RS232 PORT

NOTE: For direct connection an RS232 null modem (crossover) cable is required. This is

rated to a maximum cable length of 15 m.

NOTE: For a single module to PC connection and distances up to 6 m (20 feet) the USB connection method is more suitable and provides for a lower cost alternative to RS485 (which is more suited to longer distance connections).

The RS232 port on the controller supports the MODBUS RTU protocol and is for connection to a single MODBUS master device only.

The MODBUS 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.

The various operating parameters (such as coolant temperature, oil pressure, etc.) of the remote engine are viewed or changed.

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.

2.10.2.1 RECOMMENDED EXTERNAL MODEMS

NOTE: For GSM modems a SIM card is required, supplied by the 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 enables the modem to answer an incoming data call. Many ‘pay as you go’ services do not provide a CSD (Circuit Switched Data) SIM card.

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 (1.2 km 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 engine, selecting operating modes, etc.

2.10.4.5 FIREWALL CONFIGURATION FOR INTERNET ACCESS

NOTE: For further details of module configuration, refer to DSE Publication: 057-257

DSE8660 MKII Configuration Suite PC Software Manual.

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.

2.13.4 FIXING CLIPS

NOTE: In conditions of excessive vibration, mount the module on suitable anti-vibration

mountings.

The module is held into the panel fascia using the supplied fixing clips. Withdraw the fixing clip screw (turn anticlockwise) until only the pointed end is protruding from the clip.

Insert the three ‘prongs’ of the fixing clip into the slots in the side of the module case. Pull the fixing clip backwards (towards the back of the module) ensuring all three prongs of the clip are inside their allotted slots. Turn the fixing clip screws clockwise until they make contact with the panel fascia. Turn the screw a quarter of a turn to secure the module into the panel fascia. Care must be taken not to over tighten the fixing clip screws.

3.2.5 MAINS CURRENT TRANSFORMERS

WARNING!: Do not disconnect this plug when the CTs are carrying current. Disconnection will open circuit the secondary of the C.T.’s and dangerous voltages may then develop. Always ensure the CTs are not carrying current and the CTs are short circuit connected before making or breaking connections to the module.

NOTE: The module has a burden of 0.5VA on the CT. Ensure the CT is rated for the burden of the controller, the cable length being used and any other equipment sharing the CT. If in doubt, consult your CT supplier.

NOTE: Take care to ensure correct polarity of the CT primary as shown below. If in doubt, check with the CT supplier.

3.2.6 BUS/LOAD CURRENT TRANSFORMER

WARNING!: Do not disconnect this plug when the CT is carrying current. Disconnection will open circuit the secondary of the C.T. and dangerous voltages may then develop. Always ensure the CT is not carrying current and the CT is short circuit connected before making or breaking connections to the module.

NOTE: Bus/Load CT is NOT REQUIRED in a system including only one mains supply (with one DSE8x60 controller). See section below detailing advantages of the Bus/Load CT in a multiple mains (multiple DSE8x60) system.

NOTE: The module has a burden of 0.5VA on the CT. Ensure the CT is rated for the burden of the controller, the cable length used and any other equipment sharing the CT. If in doubt, consult your CT supplier.

3.2.6.1 ADVANTAGES OF BUS/LOAD CT

The Bus/Load CT is only required when there is more than one DSE8x60 on the same system. When the Bus/Load CT is fitted, the DSE8x60 transfers the right amount of load to the mains before

disconnecting the bus, preventing the generator(s) from being shock loaded/unloaded. Without the Bus/Load CT, the DSE8x60 does not know how much load to transfer to the mains when

other DSE8x60’s are still in island mode. The DSE8x60 would transfer a pre-determined amount of load before disconnecting the bus from the mains. This would lead to there being too much load or not enough load transferred, and the generator(s) would be shock loaded/unloaded as the bus disconnect from the mains.

Icon Description

Stop / Reset

Mode

This button places the module into its Stop/Reset Mode . This clears any alarm conditions for which the triggering criteria have been removed. If the

generator is running on load and the module is put into Stop/Reset Mode , the module automatically opens the generator bus breaker (‘Close Bus’ become inactive) and instructs the DSE8x10 module to enter the return delay. Should any form of Remote Start Signal be present while operating in this mode, a start request to the DSE8x10 module over the MSC Link does not occur.

Manual

Mode

This button places the module into its Manual Mode .

Once in

Manual Mode ,

the module responds to the Start button to send a start request to the DSE8x10 module over the MSC Link. The module monitors the MSC Link for feedback from the DSE8x10 module to confirm the generator bus is available.

If the generator bus is running off-load in the Manual Mode and a Start Signal becomes active, the module automatically instructs the changeover device to place the generator bus on load (‘Close Bus’ becomes active), synchronising to the Mains if required. Upon removal of the Start On Load Signal, the generator bus

remains on load until either the Stop/Reset Mode or Auto Mode is selected.

Also in Manual Mode ,

the module responds to the Transfer to Mains and

Transfer to Generator Bus buttons after the generator bus is available. Synchronising occurs automatically if required.

Test Mode

This button places the module into its Test Mode .

Once in Test Mode ,

Once the generator bus is available, it is automatically placed on load (‘Close Bus’ becomes active), synchronising to the Mains if required. Depending upon module configuration, the generator bus remains in constant parallel with the Mains or proceeds to run in island operation (‘Close Mains’ becomes inactive).

The generator bus remains on load until either the Stop/Reset Mode or Auto Mode is selected.

Auto Mode

This button places the module into its Auto Mode .

This mode allows the module to control the function of the system automatically. The module monitors various Start Signals and once a start request is made, sends a start request to the DSE8x10 module over the MSC Link. The module monitors the MSC Link for feedback from the DSE8x10 module to confirm the generator bus is available.

Once the generator bus is available and if requested, it is automatically placed on load (‘Close Bus’ becomes active), synchronising to the Mains if required. Upon removal of the Start On Load Signal, the module starts the Return Delay Timer and once expired, the generator bus is taken off load (‘Close Bus’ becomes inactive). The module then waits for next start event.

Alarm Mute / Lamp Test

This button de-activates the audible alarm on the module, the Audible Alarm output (if configured) and illuminates all of the LEDs on the module’s facia.

4.2.2.2 SYNCHROSCOPE OPERATION

Note: If the module display is showing the status page when the synchronising process begins, the module automatically switches to the Synchroscope page. The ramp progress will also be displayed on the screen once paralleling has taken place.

Initially the synchroscope display shows the difference between the mains and generator bus supplies. Here the display is showing a frequency mismatch of +0.9 Hz and a voltage mismatch of +0.2 V. The generator bus frequency is too high (indicated by the arrow) and must be reduced. The voltage is high, but is within the limits set for synchronising (indicated by the tick).

When both the frequency and the voltage differences are within acceptable limits, the phase matching begins. Then the moving bar shows the phase difference between the two supplies. The bus frequency is automatically adjusted, altering the phase, until the moving bar enters the centre of the scope.

Once the mains and generator bus supplies are in sync, the module initiates a breaker close signal to the bus load switch closing the bus onto the mains. If synchronism is broken the moving bar will pass out of the synchronising window and the Out of Sync alarm activates. .

4.2.6 EVENT LOG

The module maintains a log of past alarms and/or selected status changes. At the time of writing, the modules log is capable of storing the last 250 log entries.

Under default factory settings, the event log is configured to include all possible options; however, this is configurable by the system designer using the DSE Configuration Suite software.

When the event log is full, any subsequent event overwrites the oldest entry. Hence, the event log always contains the most recent events. The module logs the event type, along with the date and time. If the module is configured and connected to a modem, an SMS message is sent on any logged event.

To view the event log, repeatedly press the Next or Previous Page buttons until the LCD screen displays the Event Log page.

4.2.7 SERIAL PORT

4.2.7.1 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 change depending upon configuration of the module. Refer to the 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.

Connected To an RS232 Telephone Modem

When the module is powered up, it sends ‘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”, once the modem is dialled, it answers after two rings (using the factory setting ‘initialisation strings). Once the call is established, all data is passed between the dialling PC and the module.

If the module is set for “outgoing calls” or for “incoming and outgoing calls”, then the module dials out whenever an alarm is generated.

NOTE: Not all alarms generate a dial out command; this is dependant upon module configuration of the event log. Any event configured to be recorded in the event log causes the modem to dial out to a PC.

Press the Scroll Down button view the modem

Connected to an RS232 GSM Modem

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 “outgoing calls” or for “incoming and outgoing calls”, then the module dials out whenever an alarm is generated.

Many GSM modems are fitted with a status LED to show operator cell status and ringing indicator. These are 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, 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.

Press the Scroll Down button view the modem GSM

status....

NOTE: In the case of GSM modems, it is important that a DATA ENABLED SIM is used. This is often a different number than the ‘voice number’ and is often called Circuit Switched Data (CSD) by the SIM provider.

If the GSM modem is not purchased from DSE, ensure that it has been correctly set to operate at 9600 baud.

Modem Initialisation Sequence

The modem attempts to communicate to the module

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:

In the case of a module that is unable to communicate with the modem, the display continuously cycles between ‘Modem Reset’ and ‘Modem Initialising’ as the module resets the modem and attempts to communicate with it again, this continues until correct communication is established with the modem. In this instance, check connections and verify the modem operation.

Connected to An RS232 MODBUS Master

The modules operate as a MODBUS RTU slave device. In a MODBUS system, there is 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 RS232 port, ensure that ‘port usage’ is correctly set using the DSE Configuration Suite Software.

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

5.3.2 LOADING GENERATOR BUS

Once the generator closes its load switch, the generator bus is seen as available and the generator bus LED illuminates.

In Manual Mode , the generator bus load switch is not closed until a ‘loading request’ is made. A loading request can come from a number of sources, synchronising to the Mains if required:

• Press the Transfer to Generator Bus button

• Failure of mains supply

• High mains load (when the module is configured for an automatic peak lopping system)

• Activation of an auxiliary input that has been configured to Remote Start function.

• Activation of an auxiliary input that has been configured to Auxiliary Mains Failure.

• Activation of the inbuilt exercise scheduler if configured for ‘Parallel’ or ‘Island’ operation.

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

interface.

Load ramping takes place when appropriate, the DSE8661 controls the generator bus to provide the configured power to the load and or mains supply.

5.3.2.1 BUS MODE

In this mode, the generator bus is used to provide a Fixed amount of active power (kW). This is set using the DSE Configuration Suite Software in SCADA | Bus | MSC Link | Load Parallel Power parameter.

How much reactive power provided depends upon the kV Ar or pf selection:

• kV Ar – The generator bus provides the number of kV Ar set in the Load Parallel V Ar parameter. The power factor is variable in order to achieve this.

• pf – The generator bus produces power at the power factor set in the Load Power Factor parameter. The kV Ar is variable in order to achieve this.

If all start requests are removed, the Stopping Sequence begins.

5.3.2.2 MAINS MODE

In this mode, the generator bus is used to provide a Variable amount of active power (kW), to maintain the mains import or export levels at the configured values. This is set using the DSE Configuration Suite Software in SCADA | Bus | MSC Link | Load Parallel Power parameter.

How much reactive power is taken from or exported to the mains depends upon the kV Ar or pf selection:

• kV Ar – The generator bus is used to provide a fxied amount of kV Ar to maintain the mains import or export V Ar at the level set in the Load Parallel V Ar parameter. The mains power factor is variable in order to achieve this.

• pf – The generator bus is used to provide enough kV Ar to maintain the mains import or export at the power factor configured into the Load Power Factor parameter. The mains kV Ar is variable in order to achieve this.

As the load increases and decreases, generators on the generator bus may start and stop automatically depending upon their configuration.

If all start requests are removed, the Stopping Sequence begins.
