AUTO TRANSFER SWITCH & MAINS COLOUR CONTROL MODULE

FEATURES

The DSE8860 is an easy-to-use single or multi-mains controller with automatic transfer switch capability. Designed to synchronise single or multiple DSE8810s with single or multiple mains (utility) supplies, the DSE8860 will automatically control the change over from mains (utility) to generator supply or run generators in synchronisation with the mains (utility) to provide no-break, peak lopping and peak shaving power solutions.

The module can indicate operational status and fault conditions on the LCD screen (multiple languages available), by illuminated LED, audible sounder and SMS messaging.

Comprehensive communications are also available via RS232, RS485 & Ethernet for remote PC control and monitoring, and integration into building management systems. The comprehensive event log will record up to 250 events to facilitate maintenance.

An extensive number of fixed and flexible monitoring and protection features are included. Easy alteration of the sequences, timers and alarms can be made using the DSE PC Configuration Suite Software. Selected configuration is also available via the module’s front panel.

With all communication ports capable of being active at the same time, the DSE8000 Series is ideal for a wide variety of demanding load share applications.

KEY LOAD SHARE FEATURES:

• Peak lopping

• Sequential set start

• Manual voltage/frequency

adjustment

• R.O.C.O.F. and vector shift

Introduction

2 INTRODUCTION

This document details the installation and operation requirements of the DSE8860 module, 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 DSE8860 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 DSE8860 module has been designed to monitor the mains (utility) supply and automatically start/stop one or more generator sets equipped with DSE8x10 controllers depending upon the status of the mains (utility) supply.

Synchronising and Load Sharing features are included within the controller, along with the necessary protections for such a system. This provides forward sync, back sync (no break changeover) and start/stop upon changing load levels.

The user also has the facility to view the system operating parameters via the LCD display.

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

• Text and graphical colour LCD display (supporting multiple languages).

• True RMS Voltage, Current and Power monitoring with minimum and maximum ranges

• Harmonic Display

• Communications capability (USB, RS232, RS485 and Ethernet)

• Event log and instrumentation data log

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

• Synchronising and load sharing with load demand start/stop

• R.O.C.O.F. and Vector shift for detection of mains failure when in parallel with the mains supply.

• Integral PLC to help provide customisation where required

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.

3.5.1 VA RATING OF THE CTS

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 0.5 VA, then a CT with a rating of at least 15+0.5 V = 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).

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

Specification

3.8.4 RS485

The RS485 ports on the controller support 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.

3.8.5.5 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.

3.10 SOUNDER

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

Sounder level 64db @ 1m

3.10.1 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:

3.11 ACCUMULATED INSTRUMENTATION

Accumulated instrumentation along with Engine Hours and Number of Starts can be set/reset using the DSE Configuration Suite PC software. Depending upon module configuration, this may have been PIN number locked by your generator supplier.

4.2.7.1 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.

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.

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.

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 generator(s) is running and the module is put

into Stop mode, the module will automatically instruct the changeover device to unload the generator bus (‘Close Bus becomes inactive (if used)) and the start request to the DSE8x10 controller(s) is taken away. 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 functions. Once in Manual mode the module will

respond to the START button, sending a start request to the generator(s) over the MSC link. If the generator(s) 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 bus on load (‘Close Bus becomes active (if used)). Upon removal of the remote start signal, the generator

bus 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

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

Once in ‘ TEST’ mode the module it will send a start request to the generator(s) over the MSC link, and run on load in parallel with the mains supply or off load depending on configuration.

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

AUTO

This button places the module into its ‘ AUTO’ mode. This mode allows the module to control the function of the system automatically. The module will monitor the remote start input and mains supply status and once a start request is made, the generator(s) will be automatically started and placed on load. Upon removal of the starting signal, the module will automatically transfer the load from the generator bus and shut the generator(s) 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.

START

This button is only active in MANUAL mode. Pressing this button in manual will request the generator(s) to start and run off load

MUTE / LAMP TEST

This button silences the audible alarm if it is sounding and illuminates all of the LEDs as a lamp test feature.

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

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

7.2.1 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

• High mains load (when the DSE8860 is configured for an automatic peak lopping system)

• Activation of an auxiliary input that has been configured to remote start on load, remote start in island mode

or remote start off load.

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

• Activation of the inbuilt exercise scheduler.

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

7.2.2 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 starting request is sent to the generator(s) over the MSC data link.

Page 79

Front Panel Configuration

7.2.3 BUS AVAILABLE (GENERATOR(S) RUNNING)

Once the generator bus becomes available, the load is transferred. If required, the generator bus is first synchronised with the mains supply. This operation is automatic, using the MSC data link. Load ramping takes place when appropriate, the DSE8860 controls the generator bus to provide the configured power to the load and/or mains supply.

7.2.3.1 BUS MODE

In this mode, the generator(s) are used to provide a fixed amount of active power (kW ), this is configured into the

Load parallel power parameter.

How much reactive power is provided depends upon the kVAr/pf selection:

• kVAr – The generator(s) will provide the number of kVAr configured into the Load Parallel VAr parameter. The power factor is variable in order to achieve this.

• Pf – The generator(s) will produce power at the power factor configured into the Load power factor parameter. The kVAr is variable in order to achieve this.

7.2.3.2 MAINS MODE

In this mode, the generator(s) are used to provide a variable amount of active power (kW), to maintain the mains import/export levels at the configured values. This is configured into the Load parallel power parameter.

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

• KVAr – The generator(s) will be used to provide enough kVAr to keep the mains import/export VAr at the level configured into the Load Parallel VAr parameter. The mains power factor is variable in order to achieve this.

• Pf – The generator(s) will be used to provide enough kVAr to keep the mains import/export at the power factor configured into the Load power factor parameter. The mains kVAr is variable in order to achieve this.

As the load increases and decreases, sets may automatically start and stop, depending upon their configuration. If all start requests are removed, the stopping sequence will begin.

7.2.4 STOPPING SEQUENCE

The return delay timer operates to ensure that the starting request has been permanently removed and is not just a short-term removal.

If there are no starting requests at the end of the return delay timer, the load is transferred back from the generator bus to the mains supply and the start request is removed from the generator(s).

7.3.1 WAITING IN MANUAL MODE

When in manual mode, the generator(s) will not start automatically.

To begin the starting sequence, press the

button.

7.3.2 BUS AVAILABLE (GENERATOR(S) RUNNING)

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

• Pressing the transfer to bus button

• Mains supply out of limits.

• Activation of an auxiliary input that has been configured to remote start on load, remote start in island mode

or remote start off load.

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

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

Parallel operation is governed by configuration. See the previous section Auto Mode: Bus Available (Generator(s) Running) for further details.

Once bus and mains are in parallel, you can either

• Press the transfer to bus button. The load is ramped to the bus, the mains breaker is opened.

• Press the transfer to mains button. The load is transferred to the mains. The generator bus breaker is

opened.

• Press the auto mode button to return to automatic mode.

7.3.3 STOPPING SEQUENCE

In manual mode, the set will continue to run until either:

• The stop button is pressed – The generator(s) are requested to stop

• The auto button is pressed. The generator(s) will observe all auto mode start requests and stopping

timers before beginning the Auto Mode: Stopping Sequence.

Protections

7.5 MULTIPLE MAINS OPERATION

In a multiple mains system, the generator(s) are controlled by more than one DSE8860 mains controller and used to provide power to multiple loads. Should one or more of the mains supplies fail, the generator(s) (controlled by DSE8x10 modules) are started and supply power to the load. If more than one mains supply has failed, the loads are transferred to the generator(s) one by one.

The DSE8x10 controllers share power equally on a percentage basis with the other generators in the system.

• If one mains supply returns, the DSE8860 connected to that mains supply will synchronise the generator(s) with the mains and affect a no-break changeover. The generator(s) continue to supply power to the remaining loads.

• If more than one mains supply returns at the same time, then the DSE8860 with the highest priority will take control of the generator(s) and affect a no-break changeover back to the mains supply. The remaining DSE8860s will operate in priority order providing no-break returns back to their respective mains supplies.

If the generator(s) are ‘peak-lopping’ with one mains supply, and another mains supply fails, dependent upon module configuration, the generator(s) will either:

• Continue to peak-lop as before. The load with the mains supply that has failed will remain without power.

• Cease peak-lopping and backup the failed mains supply.

NOTE:

NOTE: NOTE:

NOTE: At no time are the generators paralleled with more than one mains supply at a time.

At no time are the generators paralleled with more than one mains supply at a time. At no time are the generators paralleled with more than one mains supply at a time.

7.5.1 DSE8X60 PRIORITY

Where more than one DSE8x60 controller is present, they must determine which one is to take control over the generator(s). The following table shows how this priority decision is made.

Priority Condition

LOWEST

Where two or more DSE8x60 controllers have the same conditions in the table above, the ‘Set Priority’ configuration setting comes into effect. If two or more DSE8x60 controllers have the same priority number, an electrical trip alarm is generated - Priority Selection Error - and the priority numbers must be changed before the system will operate.

7.5.2 DSE8860 BUS/LOAD CT

The DSE8860 controller incorporates an optional (but recommended) extra CT for measuring the amount of power the generator bus is producing or the size of the load. Used in conjunction with the CTs measuring the amount of load on the mains supply, this CT allows the DSE8860 to determine what portion of the load is being supplied by the generator(s). This allows the DSE8860 to remove the generator(s) from this load when there is little or no current passing through the bus breaker. For example: When the generator(s) are ramping off load.

8.1 INDICATIONS

Indications are non-critical and often status conditions. They do not appear on the LCD of the module as a text message. However, an output or LCD indicator can be configured to draw the operator’s attention to the event.

Example

• Input configured for indication.

• The LCD text will not appear on the module display

but can be added in the configuration to remind the system designer what the input is used for.

• As the input is configured to Indication there is no alarm generated.

• LCD Indicator to make LCD1 illuminate when the module is in Stop Mode.

• The Insert Card Text allows the system designer to print an insert card detailing the LCD function.

• Sample showing operation of the LCD indicators.

Scheduler

9 SCHEDULER

The controller contains an inbuilt exercise run scheduler, capable of automatically starting and stopping the generator(s). 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.

9.1.1 STOP MODE

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

9.1.2 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 cause the generator bus to be placed on load.

9.1.3 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.

11 COMMISSIONING

11.1 PRE-COMMISSIONING

Before the system is started, it is recommended that the following checks are made:-

• The unit is adequately cooled and all the wiring to the module is of a standard and rating compatible with the system.

• Check all mechanical parts are fitted correctly and that all electrical connections (including earths) are sound. The unit DC supply is fused and connected to the battery and that it is of the correct polarity.

• Check the operation of the MSC datalink. Use the DSE Config Suite to check this on the SCADA | BUS | MSC LINK page. Verify the number of sets on the bus.

• Ensure all DSE8x10 controllers in the system have been fully commissioned using the DSE “Four Steps to Successful Synchronising”.

• Place the DSE8860 module into STOP mode. Place the DSE8x10(s) into AUTO mode.

Initiate a start by pressing the MANUAL Mode and START button of the DSE8860. All DSE8x10’s start upon receipt of the MSC start command.

• The bus will remain off load so long as the mains supply is healthy and on load.

• Press the DSE8860’s STOP button to remove the start request and stop the set(s).

• Set the modules internal clock/calendar to ensure correct operation of the scheduler and event

logging functions. For details of this procedure see section entitled Front Panel Configuration.

• If, despite repeated checking of the connections between the DSE8000 series controller and the customer’s system, satisfactory operation cannot be achieved, then the customer is requested to contact the factory for further advice on:-

13 DSE 4 STEPS TO SUCCESSFUL SYNCHRONISING

Synchronising and load sharing is often considered to be a complex subject. In fact, it is very simple when broken down into smaller steps.

After following the Commissioning section of this manual, the 4 Steps must be followed before any parallel operation is attempted.

The following information is a short form guide only, intended as a memory jogger once the steps are fully understood. The full video presentation of the 4 Steps is available on the DSE website: www.deepseaplc.com. Registration on the website is required. This is free of charge, along with all other downloads.

This page is also available as a training document (handout style) from DSE Part Number: 056-001 Four Steps to Synchronising – included on the DSE website.

13.1 CONTROL

Check the control from DSE8x10 is working:

• Control of AVR

• Control of Governor

• Direction of Control

Failure of the above steps will result in poor control of the governor/AVR leading to problems during synchronising and/or load sharing if not corrected.

13.2 METERING

Check the metering on the DSE8860 and DSE8x10(s) is working:

• CTs on the Right Phase

• CTs in the Right Direction

Failure of the above steps will result in incorrect power factor and kW calculations leading to problems load sharing if not corrected.

13.3 COMMUNICATIONS

Check the MSC link connected to the DSE8860 and DSE8x10(s) is working:

• All Modules Connected on the MSC Link

• Re-Calibrate, Sync + Load Control, Multi-Set

• Remove One MSC Plug

Failure of the above steps will result in the controllers being unable to communicate leading to problems during synchronising and/or load sharing if not corrected.

13.4 SYNC CHECKS

Check each phase across the breakers controlled by the DSE8860 and DSE8x10(s) are wired correctly:

• Use the Built in Sync Scope to Determine Correct Phase Wiring

• Phase Checks across the Breaker.

Failure of the above steps will result in serious damage to the system (breakers, bus bars, alternators, engines etc)
