5.15.1 CAN-BUS (JO) connection – not available for GC315 ....................................... 77

5.15.2 CAN-BUS (JP) connection – only available for GC400x .................................... 78

This CAN-BUS interface is only available for GC400x and must only be used for plants composed by more than one generator (MPM). It is useful to connect all SICES genset controllers to each other (not necessarily only GC400x): through this communication channel (PMBC – Power Management Communication Bus) the controllers exchange

all necessary data to manage the parallel functions (see doc. [12]). ............................ 78

The CAN-BUS interface is galvanically isolated. The bus itself can be also used for the connection to the optional modules DITHERM, DIGRIN, DIVIT, DITEL and DANOUT: in this case it is also required the use of a CAN-BRIDGE module to avoid that the expansion modules data of a controller are sent to the other controllers connected to

this CAN-BUS too (see 5.10). ....................................................................................... 78

A lot of accidents are caused by the insufficient knowledge or by the lacking of application of the safety rules to apply during the operating or maintenance procedures.

In order to avoid accidents, before carrying out any operating or maintenance procedure, read, understand and follow the precautions and warnings in this manual.

This manual contains the following indications:

CAUTION! This indication is used in the safety messages of the manual when there are possible danger situations that may cause injuries or death if the danger is not avoided.

This safety messages describe the normal precautions needed to avoid danger. Ignoring this instructions may cause serious damages to things and/or people.

WARNING! This indication is used in the safety messages for dangers that, if not

avoided, may cause injuries, damages or malfunctioning.

The message can be also used only for few dangers that may cause damages to things and/or people.

INFORMATION! This term indicates that the message includes useful information

for the development of the operation or procedures clarifications.

For the appropriate use of this manual it is required knowledge of the use and of the installation of generator groups.

WARNING!!!

All interventions must be carried out only by qualified personnel, because dangerous voltages are present on the terminals of the device; prior to performing any operation on the same, make sure you have opened the circuit breakers and generator set switches, or that you have removed their fuses.

Do not remove or modify any of the connections while the generator set is operating Do not, for any reason, disconnect the terminals of the current transformers (CTs).

Incorrect interventions on the connections can result in disconnection of the users from the mains or from the generator.

Before installing and using the device, carefully read this handbook.

The device uses a large number of configurable parameters and it is therefore impossible to describe all their possible combinations and effects.

In this document it is not present a description detailed of all the programming parameters: to this purpose see [1] [2]. These documents should be considered integral part of this manual.

The devices are supplied with a generic "default" configuration; is the responsibility of the installer to adjust the operating parameters to his/her specific application.

GC315xx and GC400xx Technical Manual 17

SICES srl makes considerable efforts for a continuous improvement and upgrading of its own products; therefore, they are subject to modifications both in hardware and software, without prior notice. Some of the features described in this manual may therefore differ from those present in your device.

IMPORTANT! Both the SW1 switches must remain in OFF position.

The SW1 switches are reserved for accessing special features that are not part of the normal operation of the device.

If the device is powered with one of the two switches in ON position, it will not turn on. To restore normal operation you need to cut the power to the same, turn the switches OFF and power it again.

In case the device does not turn on when powered, the first thing you have to do is to check the position of the switches.

Although most of the parameters and features can be accessed and configured by directly operating on the device, some particular features or configurations, due to their nature, can only be set or changed through the PC program SICES Board Programmer3

(hereinafter referred to as “BoardPrg3”) downloadable for free after registration on the SICES

srl websites www.sices.eu and www.sicesbrasil.com.br. It greatly simplifies the configuration of the device and its use is strongly recommended. It also

allows you to save the current configuration of the device on a file and to reuse it on other identical devices,

The program also allows the configuration, saving or loading of the characteristic curves of non standard ANALOGUE sensors with resistive or live output.

BoardPrg3 can be used on all the SICES devices; connection to the PC can be realized both directly, via the RS232 serial port, USB, or remotely via modem, RS485 serial port or ethernet network. To use the program refer to document [3] .

In this document, the term “ALARM” is used to indicate a fault that prevents the generator set from operating and causes the automatic emergency shutdown of the generator (skipping the cool down phase).

The term “DE-ACTIVATION” is used to indicate a fault that prevents the generator set from

operating and causes the automatic standard shutdown of the generator (including the cool down phase). The controller automatically opens the GCB circuit breaker in case of this type of fault.

In this document, the term “” is used to indicate a fault that makes the genset operation impossible, and causes the automatic shutdown of the genset with standard procedure.

The term “WARNING” is used to indicate a fault that requires the intervention of the operator with no need for automatic shutoff of the generator (including the cool down phase). If possible, GC400x controllers gradually reduce to zero the power supplied by the genset before opening the GCB circuit breaker. This type of fault is available only for the GC400x controllers.

The codes that identify functions for input, output, status or other functions are preceded by the following acronyms:

DIF (“Digital Input Function”): the following is a code for the configuration of the digital inputs. DOF (“Digital Output Function”): the following is a code for the configuration of the digital

outputs.

18 GC315xx and GC400xx Technical Manual

AIF (“ANALOGUE Input Function”): the following is a code for the configuration of the

ANALOGUE inputs. AOF (“ANALOGUE Output Function”): the following is a code for the configuration of the

ANALOGUE outputs. AVF (“ANALOGUE Virtual Function”): the following is a code for the configuration of the virtual

ANALOGUE inputs.

EVT (“Event”): the following is an event code ST (“Status”): the following code shows the status of a dimension or a condition of the device

or of one of its functions.

In this document a vertical bar on the right margin or a grey background indicates that the

chapter or the paragraph has been amended respect to the previous document’s version.

Changes in the fields of a table are highlighted with a grey background colour.

Several parts of this manual refer to the controller's software revisions. These revisions are marked with the assigned SICES code (shown on the rear panel of the controller). Software code version has the following format: EB0250231XXYY, where "XX" is the main revision number and "YY" is the secondary revision number. Thus, the code EB02502310100 refers to

the controller's software release "1.00". The software revision is also displayed on page “S.06” (GC315x) or “S.03” (GC400x) of the LCD display.

The software codes available at the release date are:

 EB0250231xxyy: GC315.  EB0250248xxyy: GC400.

GC315xx and GC400xx Technical Manual 27

The device must be mounted permanently on an electrical panel or cabinet. The back of the device must be accessed only through the use of keys or tools, and only by personnel authorized to perform maintenance operations. The device must be mounted so as to make it impossible to remove it without using tools.

The dimensions of the mounting slot are 250x159mm. The device is mounted with four hooks with locking screws: once you have put the device in place, insert the hooks in the side slots and tighten the screws. Be careful not to overtighten the screws to avoid damaging the coupling slots on the casing of the device.

Due to high voltages associated to the measurement circuits of the controller, all the conductive parts of the electrical panel must necessarily be connected to the protective earth by means of permanent connections.

Installing an overcurrent protection device is required for each phase of the mains and generator voltage inputs. 1A fuses can be conveniently used.

The conductor cross-section of the protective earth of the electrical panel must be at least equal to the section of the wires used for wiring the mains or generator voltage to the panel. In addition, it must comply with the limit value of the overcurrent protection used.

For CAT.III applications, the maximum phase-to-neutral voltage allowed is 300Vac, while the phase-to-phase voltage is 520Vac. Maximum voltage with respect to the protective earth is 300Vac.

The device can operate in CAT.III only if the supply minus terminal of the device and the neutral terminal of the generator are connected to the protective earth.
