3 THE MEASUREMENT "ENGINE" The measurement “engine” is the key feature of the system. All the inputs to the controller are processed by this module. Each physical input is measured and the result processed by an individual set of rules that are set via a PC and GenLink. Normally, a product i...

5 IMMEDIATE = Alarms/Warnings with this qualifica- tion only become active immediately after the engine has started. Sensor Failure Check When this field is set, the input sensor is checked for short circuit or open circuit failure. Normally each of the inputs are conditioned externally to be 4-20mA...

ENGINE MANAGEMENT The engine management module is very similar to that used in the manufacturer's other products. It controls engine cranking, engine starting, engine running and engine stopping. These functions are performed to a set of “rules” that can be customized via parameters from GenLink. In...

Dump Enable — Indicates if extra load dump gov- ernor compensation is desired to reduce increase in frequency caused by drop in load. The following three selections are available: - No Dump — No additional compensation.- Dump — Reset governor algorithm when load dump detected. - Dump & Hold — Sa...

LOCAL TRENDING Local trending is done inside the controller where up to 1000 samples can be stored in memory. GenLink provides an interface to select the analog channels to be trended, the rate to be sampled at, and optional triggers to be used to specify when to sample. Up to 6 analog channels can ...

Generator control is limited to the following output options (referred to as “Hooks”). 1. Use Keyswitch 2. Force Off – cleared with “Use Keyswitch” hook3.

Each line displays a maintenance item that has been set up via GenLink. The value displayed is the approximate % of life remaining before maintenance should be performed. Refer to the Maintenance setup using GenLink. Press the “ENTER” button. This is a typical third Maintenance Status page. Each lin...

This is a typical first Generator Parameter page for a single phase system. LINE 1: Phase titles for the voltage and current – voltage title/current title. LINE 2: Line-to-Line voltage for AB and Line-to- Neutral voltage for A and B in Volts RMS. LINE 3: Neutral current and Line currents in Amps RMS...

The event log, as its name implies, is designed to store events which are programmable from GenLink. Each measurement channel or output function can be set as an event along with a setpoint. For example, if you set Digital Input #1 (the keyswitch in AUTO position) as an event with a setpoint of logi...
