1.2 Warnings and safety
1.2.1 Safety during installation and operation
Installing and operating the equipment may require work with dangerous currents and voltages. The installation must only be
carried out by authorised personnel who understand the risks involved in working with electrical equipment.
DANGER!
Hazardous live currents and voltages. Do not touch any terminals, especially the AC measurement inputs
and the relay terminals. Touching the terminals could lead to injury or death.
1.2.2 Automatic and remote-controlled starts
The power management system automatically starts gensets when more power is needed. It can be difficult for an
inexperienced operator to predict which gensets will start. In addition, gensets can be started remotely (for example, by using
an Ethernet connection, or a digital input). To avoid personal injury, the genset design, the layout, and maintenance
procedures must take this into account.
1.2.3
The controllers are designed to normally run under power management system control. When switchboard control is
activated:
• If an alarm situation arises, and the alarm action requires a trip and/or shutdown, then the controller trips the breaker and/or
• The controller DOES NOT respond to a blackout.
• The controller DOES NOT provide any power management.
• The controller DOES NOT accept operator commands.
• The controller cannot and DOES NOT prevent any manual operator actions.
Switchboard control
shuts down the engine.
The switchboard design must therefore ensure that the system is sufficiently protected when the controller is under
switchboard control.
www.deif.com Page 9 of 157
1.2.4
PPM 300 Operator's manual 4189340910 UK
www.deif.com
Page 10 of 157
If the controller has no power supply, it is OFF and does not provide any protection to the system. The controller cannot
enforce any trips, shutdowns or latches when it is off. The controller does not provide any control or power management. All
the controller relays de-energise.
The controller must have a reliable power supply, which must include a backup power supply. In addition, the switchboard
design must ensure that the system is sufficiently protected if the controller power supply fails.
Controller power supply
1.2.5 Factory settings
The controller is delivered pre-programmed from the factory with a set of default settings. These settings are based on typical
values and may not be correct for your system. You must therefore check all parameters before using the controller.
1.2.6 Electrostatic discharge
You must protect the equipment terminals from static discharge during handling, including installation and dismounting. Once
the equipment is correctly installed and the frame ground is connected, it is no longer necessary to protect the terminals from
static discharge.
1.2.7 Do not manually override active alarm actions
DANGER!
Do not use switchboard or manual control to override the alarm action of an active alarm.
An alarm may be active because it is latched, or because the alarm condition is still present. If the alarm action is manually
overridden, a latched alarm does not do its alarm action again. In this situation, the latched alarm does not provide protection.
Latched Over-current alarm example
The controller trips a breaker because of over-current. The operator then manually (that is, not using the controller)
closes the breaker while the Over-current alarm is still latched.
If another over-current situation arises, the controller does not trip the breaker again. The controller regards the
original Over-current latched alarm as still active, and does not provide protection.
1.3 Legal information

2. Overview of the system
PPM 300 Operator's manual 4189340910 UK
www.deif.com
Page 12 of 157
2.1 Overview
2.1.1 Operating the PPM 300 controllers
The PPM 300 controllers ensure that the power required is available and that the system is protected for typical marine
applications.
Only qualified people may install and commission the controllers. After the controllers are installed and commissioned, they
are easy to operate.
Power management system (PMS) control
As far as possible, the controllers should all normally run under PMS control.
As far as possible, the GENSET controllers should all normally run in automatic mode (AUTO). In this mode, the PMS
automatically starts and stops gensets, according to the power requirements. The PMS also automatically closes and opens
the genset breakers to the busbar, to connect and disconnect the gensets as needed.
The SHAFT generator, SHORE connection and BUS TIE breaker controllers normally run under PMS control. For safety
reasons, these controllers will not normally automatically connect to a shaft generator or shore connection, or automatically
close a bus tie breaker. An operator action is needed to start these actions. Once the operator starts the action, the controller
automatically follows a pre-programmed sequence of actions.
The GENSET and EMERGENCY genset controllers can run in either AUTO or a semi-automatic (SEMI) mode. These are
both PMS modes. SEMI mode is a type of service mode. In SEMI mode, an operator action is needed to start or stop the
genset. An operator action is also needed to start the pre-programmed sequence to close or open the genset breaker to the
busbar.
Switchboard control
Each controller can also be put under switchboard control. The operator then manually controls the genset speeds and opens
and closes breakers. Switchboard control is useful for troubleshooting. It can also be useful in extreme circumstances if the
operator needs to override the control system. Under switchboard control, all the controller functions are disabled. However,
the controller protections are still active. The controller monitors the operation, and if an alarm condition arises, the controller
activates the alarm action.
Push-buttons and LEDs
The operator can use the display unit push-buttons to operate the system. This includes changing modes, selecting actions
to start pre-programmed sequences, changing genset priority, and silencing alarms. The push-buttons to start or stop the
genset, or close or open the breaker(s), are only active in SEMI mode.
The operator can look at the display unit LEDs to see the status of each part of the system.
Display unit screen *
The operator can monitor system operation on the display unit screen. The operator can also use the soft key buttons and
the display unit screen to log into the controller. The operator can then see the alarm lists and logs, and acknowledge and
unlatch alarms. The operator can also see or change the controller configuration.
PICUS *
PICUS - Power In Control Utility Software
PICUS is the PC programming and monitoring tool, available from DEIF free of charge. The operator can connect a computer
PPM 300 Operator's manual 4189340910 UK
with PICUS to the controller by using a direct connection. The operator can then log into the controller. When the operator
logs on, they can use PICUS to monitor operation, send commands that correspond to the push-button actions, manage
alarms, and see or change the controller configuration. *
See the PICUS manual for more information about how to monitor and change the controller configuration using
PICUS.
* Both the display unit and PICUS are controlled by user level permissions which grant or restrict access to features of the
controller. Some features or functions may not be accessible to an operator depending upon the design of the controller
permissions.

3.2 Controller rack
PPM 300 Operator's manual 4189340910 UK
3.2.1 Rack LEDs
You will normally not be able to see the controller rack, since it is normally in an enclosed switchboard. However, the
controller rack includes LEDs that can be useful for troubleshooting, and these are described here.
Module LEDs
PSM3.1, ACM3.1, EIM3.1, GAM3.1 and PCM3.1 each have a red status LED. The module status LED lights if the hardware
module self-check is not OK. If the controller power supply LED on PSM3.1 is red, the LED(s) at the top of the hardware
module(s) that failed the self-check may be red.
These LEDs are at the top of the hardware module inside the rack frame, and may be hidden by wiring or other equipment. If
there is not too much light, the glow from the LED(s) should be visible at the top of the rack.
INFO
The hardware modules' LEDs may be red while the controller is starting up, or during a software update. This is
normal, and does not mean that the hardware modules failed the self-check.

4. Operating the system
PPM 300 Operator's manual 4189340910 UK
4.1 Introduction
4.1.1 About the operator actions
This chapter describes the basic tasks that the operator can do using the display unit push-buttons.
System-specific tasks are not described in this chapter. These depend on the design and configuration of the system, and the
configured and active functions in the system.
INFO
DEIF recommends that the operator actions that depend on the system design and configuration are documented.
See the Designer's handbook for more information about the system-specific functions that are available by
default in the controller.
4.2 GENSET controller basic actions
4.2.1 Introduction to operating the GENSET controllers
Normal operation
The GENSET controllers should normally be in AUTO mode. When one or more GENSET controllers are in AUTO mode, the
power management system automatically starts and connects gensets, or disconnects and stops gensets, according to the
power required and the genset priority order.
Blackout response
If there is a blackout, the power management system automatically follows the blackout recovery sequence to start and
connect gensets, in order to restore power. If there is a blackout and a GENSET controller is in SEMI mode, the power
management system will automatically change the controller to AUTO mode. No operator actions are needed.
However, if there is a blackout while the GENSET controller is under switchboard control, the power management system will
not attempt to start or connect that genset. If the operator wants the power management system to start and connect the
genset, the operator needs to change the switchboard control selector to PMS control.
4.2.2 Changing modes
The GENSET controller can run under PMS control in AUTO or SEMI mode. The controller can also run under switchboard
control. The following procedures describe how to change the controller's operating mode and control.

You cannot change from switchboard control to AUTO mode using the display unit push-buttons. If the
controller is under switchboard control, you must first change to AUTO/SEMI mode by changing the
switchboard control selector (on the switchboard) to PMS.
To change to SEMI mode from AUTO mode:
1. Operator action: Press

To change to switchboard control, the controller can be in either AUTO or SEMI mode.
To change to switchboard control:
1. Operator action: Change the switchboard control selector (on the switchboard) to switchboard control.
• System response: For safety reasons, whenever there is a connected GENSET controller under
switchboard control (that is, the genset is running and the generator breaker is closed), all the
GENSET controllers in AUTO mode are automatically changed to SEMI mode.
◦ This means that the automatic power management functions (automatic genset start or stop, and
automatic breaker close and open) are no longer active for any GENSET controllers.
◦ Each controller will however still trip the breaker(s) and/or stop the genset if the operating conditions
activate an alarm that trips the breaker(s) and/or stops the genset.
CAUTION
If you change the last GENSET controller that is in AUTO mode to SEMI mode, the power management system
cannot automatically start or stop any gensets, or open or close any breakers.
INFO
The switchboard equipment is third-party equipment. The switchboard control selector labels may therefore be
different from the names used above.

PPM 300 Operator's manual 4189340910 UK
For efficiency or maintenance reasons, you might want certain gensets to automatically run as much as possible, and others
to run at little as possible. The power management system has a priority order for the gensets to enable you to do this. If a
genset start is needed, the power management system starts the first non-running genset in the priority order. Similarly, if a
genset stop is needed, the power management system stops the last running genset in the priority order.
The operator can determine the genset priority. Alternatively, the power management system determines the genset priority.

4.3 EMERGENCY genset controller basic actions
4.3.1 Introduction to operating the EMERGENCY genset controller
Normal operation
The EMERGENCY genset controller is normally in AUTO mode. During normal operation, apart from emergency genset
tests, the emergency genset does not run.
Blackout response
If there is a blackout, the power management system automatically follows the blackout recovery sequence to start and
connect gensets, in order to restore power. If the gensets do not supply power within the time allowed (the default is 30
seconds), the power management system automatically opens the tie breaker, starts the emergency genset and closes the
emergency genset breaker.
If there is a blackout and the EMERGENCY genset controller is in SEMI mode, the controller automatically changes to AUTO
mode. No operator actions are needed.
However, if there is a blackout while the EMERGENCY genset controller is under switchboard control, the power
management system does not attempt to start or connect the emergency genset. If the operator wants the power
management system to start and connect the emergency genset, the operator needs to change the switchboard control
selector to PMS control.
Harbour operation
When harbour operation is active, the emergency genset breaker and the tie breaker are closed. The emergency genset
runs, and supplies power as if it were an ordinary diesel genset. The power management system controls the system, and
starts and stops the other gensets as needed. When harbour operation is active, the emergency genset is first in the genset
priority order, and is therefore always running and connected when the EMERGENCY genset controller is in AUTO mode.
4.3.2 Changing modes
The EMERGENCY genset controller can run in AUTO or SEMI mode, or under switchboard control. The EMERGENCY
genset controller can also run a test sequence (see Emergency genset test function).

Blackout response
PPM 300 Operator's manual 4189340910 UK
www.deif.com
Page 48 of 157
If there is a blackout, the PMS automatically follows the blackout recovery sequence to start and connect gensets, in order to
restore power. If this does not succeed, as part of the blackout recovery, if auto close is enabled, the PMS attempts to close
the shaft generator breaker. No operator actions are needed.
However, if there is a blackout while the SHAFT generator controller is under switchboard control, the PMS will not attempt to
connect the shaft generator. If the operator wants the PMS to connect the shaft generator, the operator needs to change the
switchboard control selector to PMS control.
Parallel operation
The shaft generator can run in parallel with the diesel gensets to transfer the load. However, the shaft generator will not
normally run in parallel with the diesel gensets.
Power take home function
When the power take home function is active, the diesel gensets supply the power, and the shaft generator is used as a
motor.
4.4.2 Closing the shaft generator breaker
Control Procedure
When the operator closes the shaft generator breaker, the power management system transfers the load
from the gensets to the shaft generator. The shaft generator must therefore be running and have enough
