Brief Overview

Sample application setup

Fig. 2: Sample application setup

A typical application mode for the control unit is the use for mains
parallel operation.
n In this case, the easYgen will function as an engine control with
generator, mains and engine protection.
n The control unit can open and close the generator circuit
breaker (GCB) and the mains circuit breaker (MCB).

1.4.3 General Safety Notes

Electrical hazards
DANGER!
Life-threatening hazard from electric shock!
There is an imminent life-threatening hazard from elec-
tric shocks from live parts. Damage to insulation or to
specific components can pose a life-threatening
hazard.
– Only a qualified electrician should perform work on
the electrical equipment.
– Immediately switch off the power supply and have
it repaired if there is damage to the insulation.
– Before beginning work at live parts of electrical
systems and resources, cut the electricity and
ensure it remains off for the duration of the work.
Comply with the five safety rules in the process:
– cut electricity;
– safeguard against restart;
– ensure electricity is not flowing;
– earth and short-circuit; and
– cover or shield neighbouring live parts.
– Never bypass fuses or render them inoperable.
Always use the correct amperage when changing
fuses.
– Keep moisture away from live parts. Moisture can
cause short circuits.

Prime mover safety

WARNING!
Hazards due to insufficient prime mover protection
The engine, turbine, or other type of prime mover
should be equipped with an overspeed (overtempera-
ture, or overpressure, where applicable) shutdown
device(s), that operates totally independently of the
prime mover control device(s) to protect against run-
away or damage to the engine, turbine, or other type of
prime mover with possible personal injury or loss of life
should the mechanical-hydraulic gov-ernor(s) or elec-
tric control(s), the actuator(s), fuel control(s), the
driving mechanism(s), the linkage(s), or the controlled
device(s) fail.

All electronic equipment sensitive to damage from
electrostatic discharge, which can cause the control
unit to malfunction or fail.
– To protect electronic components from static
damage, take the precautions listed below.

1. Avoid build-up of static electricity on your body by not

wearing clothing made of synthetic materials. Wear cotton or
cotton-blend materials as much as possible because these
do not store static electric charges as easily as synthetics.

2. Before any maintenance work on the control unit, ground

yourself by touching and holding a grounded metal object
(pipes, cabinets, equipment, etc.) to discharge any static
electricity.
Alternatively wear an ESD wrist band connected to ground.
3. Keep plastic, vinyl, and Styrofoam materials (such as plastic
or Styrofoam cups, cigarette packages, cellophane wrappers,
vinyl books or folders, plastic bottles, etc.) away from the
control unit, modules and work area.

4. Opening the control cover may void the unit warranty. Do not
remove the printed circuit board (PCB) from the control cab-
inet unless instructed by this manual.

If instructed by this manual to remove the PCB

from the control cabinet, follow these precau-
tions:
– Ensure that the device is completely voltage-
free (all connectors have to be discon-
nected).
– Do not touch any part of the PCB except the
edges.
– Do not touch the electrical conductors, con-
nectors, or components with conductive
devices or with bare hands.
– When replacing a PCB, keep the new PCB in
the plastic antistatic protective bag it comes
in until you are ready to install it. Immediately
after removing the old PCB from the control
cabinet, place it in the antistatic protective
bag.

3.3.7 Power Factor Definition

Definition Power Factor is defined as a ratio of the real power to apparent
power. In a purely resistive circuit, the voltage and current wave-
forms are instep resulting in a ratio or power factor of 1.00 (often
referred to as unity).
In an inductive circuit the current lags behind the voltage waveform
resulting in usable power (real power) and unusable power (reac-
tive power). This results in a positive ratio or lagging power factor
(i.e. 0.85lagging).
In a capacitive circuit the current waveform leads the voltage wave-
form resulting in usable power (real power) and unusable power
(reactive power). This results in a negative ratio or a leading power
factor (i.e. 0.85leading).

General notes
WARNING!
Hazards due to improper implementation of emer-
gency stop
Discrete Input DI01 "Emergency Stop" is only a sig-
naling input. This input may only be used to signal that
an external emergency stop button has been actuated.
According to EN 60204, this input is not approved to
be used as the emergency stop function.
– The emergency stop function must be imple-
mented external to the control and cannot rely on
the control to function properly.

The discrete inputs are electrically isolated which per-

mits the polarity of the connections to be either positive
or negative.
– All discrete inputs must use the same polarity,
either positive or negative signals, due to the
common ground.

3.3.11 Analog Inputs

It is recommended to use two-pole analog senders. This ensures
an accuracy of ≤ 1% for 0 to 500 Ohm inputs and ≤ 1.2% for 0 to
20 mA inputs.

The return wires (GND) should be connected to PE

(terminal 61; for two-pole senders) or engine ground
(terminal 62; for single-pole senders) as close to the
easYgen terminals as possible.

The following senders may be used for the analog inputs:

n 0 to 20 mA
n resistive (0 to 500 Ohm)
n VDO, 0 to 180 Ohm; 0 to 5 bar, Index "III"; 0 to 10 bar, Index
"IV"
n VDO, 0 to 380 Ohm; 40 to 120 °, Index "92-027-004; 50 to 125
°, Index "92-027-006

A catalog of all available VDO sensors is available for

download at the VDO homepage (http://www.vdo.com)

Wiring Two-Pole Senders

To ensure accurate system measurements, all VDO
sending units must utilize insulated wires that are con-
nected to the easYgen analog input ground (terminals
9/11/13).
Terminals 9/11/13 must have jumper wires connected
to the PE connection (terminal 61).

Topology
Please note that the CAN bus must be terminated with
a resistor, which corresponds to the impedance of the
cable (e.g. 120 Ohms, 1/4 W) at both ends.
The termination resistor is connected between CAN-H
and CAN-L (Fig. 61).

Fig. 60: CAN bus - termination

The termination has to be performed with a resistance

which corresponds to the impedance of the used cable
(e.g 120 Ohms)

For very critical EMC conditions (many noise sources with high
noise levels) and for high transmission rates we recommend to use
the 'Split termination concept' as shown.
n Divide the termination resistance into 2x60 Ohms with a center
tap connected to ground via a capacitor of 10 to 100 nF
(Fig. 60).

Bus shielding All bus connections of the easYgen are internally grounded via an
RC element. Therefore, they may either be grounded directly (rec-
ommended) or also via an RC element on the opposite bus con-
nection.

Fig. 61: Bus shielding

Troubleshooting
If data is not transmitting on the CAN bus, check the
for the following common CAN bus communication
problems:
– A T-structure bus is utilized
– CAN-L and CAN-H are interchanged
– Not all devices on the bus are using identical Baud
rates
– Terminating resistor(s) are missing
– The configured baud rate is too high for wiring
length
– The CAN bus cable is routed in close proximity
with power cables

3.5 Connecting 24 V Relays

NOTICE!
Damage to adjacent electronic components due to
induced voltages
– Implement protection circuits if required as detailed
below.

Interferences in the interaction of all components may affect the

function of electronic devices. One interference factor is disabling
inductive loads, like coils of electromagnetic switching devices.
When disabling such a device, high switch-off induced voltages
may occur, which might destroy adjacent electronic devices or
result interference voltage pulses, which lead to functional faults,
by capacitive coupling mechanisms.
Since an interference-free switch-off is not possible without addi-
tional equipment, the relay coil is connected with an interference
suppressing circuit.
If 24 V (coupling) relays are used in an application, it is required to
connect a protection circuit to avoid interferences.

Fig. 62 shows the exemplary connection of a diode as

an interference suppressing circuit.

4.1.4 Enter Password

General notes The controller utilizes a password protected multi-level configura-

the parameters being granted by assigning unique passwords to
designated personnel.
A distinction is made between the access levels as follows:

Code Level

Code level CL0 (User This code level permits for monitoring of the system
Level) and limited access to the parameters.

Standard password = Configuration of the control is not permitted.

none
Only the parameters for setting the language, the
date, the time, and the horn reset time are acces-
sible.

The unit powers up in this code level.

Code level CL1 (Service This code level entitles the user to change selected
Level) non-critical parameters, such as setting the parame-
ters accessible in CL0 plus Bar/PSI, °C/°F.
Standard password = "0
0 0 1" The user may also change the password for
level CL1.

Code Level
Access granted by this password expires two hours

returned to the CL0 level.

Code level CL2 (Tempo- This code level grants temporary access to most of

tially accessed.
No standard password
available It is designed to grant a user one-time access to a
parameter without having to give him a reusable
password. The user may also change the password
for level CL1.

Access granted by this password expires two hours

after the password has been entered and the user is
returned to the CL0 level. The password for the tem-
porary commissioning level may be obtained from the
vendor.

Access granted by this password expires two hours
after the password has been entered and the user is
returned to the CL0 level.

Once the code level is entered, access to the configu-

ration menus will be permitted for two hours or until
another password is entered into the control. If a user
needs to exit a code level then code level, CL0 should
be entered. This will block unauthorized configuration
of the control.
A user may return to CL0 by allowing the entered
password to expire after two hours or by changing any
one digit on the random number generated on the
password screen and entering it into the unit.
It is possible to disable expiration of the password by
entering "0000" after the CL1 or CL3 password has
been entered. Access to the entered code level will
remain enabled until another password is entered.
Otherwise, the code level would expire when loading
the standard values (default 0000) via ToolKit.

Code Level Display The current code level is indicated by the lock symbol in the config-
uration menu screens. The lock symbol indicates the number of the
code level and appears as "locked" (in code level CL0) or
"unlocked" (in higher code levels).

235 Generator type 2 The easYgen supports two types of generators:

n synchronous generators
n asynchronous generators (induction generators)

[Synchronous] The unit provides all functions which are needed for synchronous generator
applications. Isolated and mains parallel operation is supported.

Asynchronous The unit provides the special function of the asynchronousos generator with:

n The speed is regulated with the speed signal from the MPU or J1939/
CAN input (as long as the GCB is open).
n The closing of the GCB is executed, if the speed is within the corre-
sponding frequency range of the generator operating window. The
voltage and phase angle is ignored in this case.
n The generator monitoring (under/over frequency and under/overvoltage/
asymmetry) is switched off, until the generator breaker is closed.
n After opening the GCB, under/over frequency and under/overvoltage and
asymmetry monitoring is switched off again.
n The Frequency/MPU speed plausibility monitoring is only active, if the
GCB is closed.
n The synchronoscope is not displayed in the asynchronous modus.

Recommended settings

The asynchronous modus is normally used in mains parallel operation.

Please consider the following settings:

n Application mode (parameter 3444 Äp. 189) = GCB

n MPU input (parameter 1600 Äp. 239) = On
n Generator operating frequency (parameter 5802 Äp. 97, 5803 Äp. 97)

4.4.1.10 Generator Unbalanced Load (Level 1 & 2) ANSI# 46

General notes Unbalanced load is monitored according to how the parameters
"Generator voltage measuring" (parameter 1851 Äp. 86) and
"Generator current measuring" (parameter 1850 Äp. 87) are con-
figured. The unbalanced load alarm monitors the individual phase
currents of the generator. The percentage threshold value is the
permissible variation of one phase from the average measured cur-
rent of all three phases.

If this protective function is triggered, the display indi-

cates "Unbalanced load 1" or "Unbalanced load 2" and
the logical command variable "06.16" or "06.17" will be
enabled.

Refer to Ä Chapter 9.1.1 ‘Triggering Characteristics’ on page 503

for the triggering characteristic of this monitoring function.

4.4.1.12 Generator Ground Fault (Level 1 & 2)

General notes
The generator ground fault is determined differently
depending on the following configuration options:
– Mains current input is configured for mains current
(calculated ground fault)
– Mains current input is configured for ground cur-
rent
(measured ground fault)
Refer to parameter 1854 Äp. 88.

Calculated Ground Fault The current produced by the generator is monitored depending on
how parameter "Generator current measuring" (parameter
1850 Äp. 87) is configured. The measured three conductor cur-
rents IGen-L1, IGen-L2 and IGen-L3 are vectorially totaled (IS =
IGen-L1 + IGen-L2 + IGen-L3) and compared with the configured
fault limit (the calculated actual value is indicated in the display). If
the measured value exceeds the fault threshold limit, a ground fault
is present, and an alarm is issued.

If this protective function is triggered, the display indi-

cates "Ground fault 1" or "Ground fault 2" and the log-
ical command variable "06.19" or "06.20" will be ena-
bled.

Fig. 64: Generator Ground Fault - The ground fault protection zone is determined by the
Schematic location where the generator current transformer are
physically installed.

Test Short-circuit one of the three generator current transformers

while the generator is at full load.
ð The measured current should read 100% of rated on the
two phases that do not have their current transformers
short-circuited.

The ground current calculation does not take current on the neutral
conductor into consideration. In order for the controller to be able
to perform calculated ground fault current protection accurately, the
neutral conductor must not conduct current.
The fault threshold value is configured as a percentage. This per-
centage threshold refers to the generator rated current (param-
eter 1754 Äp. 85). Due to unavoidable load asymmetries, the min-
imum value for this parameter should be 10% or greater.

Calculation

Fig. 65: Generator Ground Fault - Calculation

1 No ground fault
2 Ground fault (with vectorial calculation)
3 Ground fault (IS = ground fault current)
The ground current IS is calculated geometrically/vectorially. The
pointers for phase currents IL1 and IL2 are parallel shifted and
lined up as shown in (Fig. 65/1).
The pointer between the neutral point and the point of the shifted
pointer IL2' results is the sum current IS as shown in (Fig. 65/2).
In order to be able to add the pointers vectorially, these must be
divided into their X- and Y-coordinates (IL2X, IL2Y, IL3X and IL3Y).
The ground fault current may be calculated using the following for-
mula:
n (IL1rated + IL2rated + IL3rated) - (IL1measured + IL2measured + IL3measured) /
1.73 = IS
n (7 A + 7 A + 7 A) – (7A + 6.5 A + 6 A) / 1.73 = 0.866 A
Results of a calculation example:
n Phase current IL1 = IRated = 7 A
n Phase current IL2 = 6.5 A
n Phase current IL3 = 6 A

Measured Ground Fault Ground fault current is actively measured when the mains current
input is configured to monitor for ground current. The ground fault
threshold is configured as a percentage of the value entered for
parameter "Ground current transformer" (parameter 1811 Äp. 90).

The ground fault protection zone is determined by the

physical installation location of the generator current
transformer.

4.4.1.13 Generator Phase Rotation

General notes
NOTICE!
Damage to the control unit and/or generation
equipment
– Ensure that the control unit is properly connected
to phase voltages on both sides of the circuit
breaker(s) during installation.
Failure to do so may result in damage to the control
unit and/or generation equipment due to the breaker
closing asynchronously or with mismatched phase
rotations. Also ensure that phase rotation monitoring is
enabled at all connected components (engine, gener-
ator, breakers, cable, busbars, etc.).
This function will block a connection of systems with
mismatched phases only under the following condi-
tions:
– The voltages being measured are wired correctly
with respect to the phase rotation at the measuring
points (i.e. the potential transformers in on both
sides of the circuit breaker)
– The voltages being measured are wired so that
angular phase shifts or any interruptions from the
measuring point to the control unit do not exist
– The voltages being measured are wired to the cor-
rect terminals of the control unit (i.e. L1 phase of
the generator is connected with the terminal of the
control unit which is intended for the generator L1
phase)
– The configured alarm class is of class C, D, E, or F
(shutdown alarm).

Correct phase rotation of the phase voltages ensures that damage

will not occur during a breaker closure to either the mains or the
generator. The voltage phase rotation alarm checks the phase
rotation of the measured voltages and the configured phase rota-
tion to ensure they are identical.
The directions of rotation are differentiated as "clockwise" and
"counter clockwise". With a clockwise field the direction of rotation
is "L1-L2-L3"; with a counter clockwise field the direction of rotation
is "L1-L3-L2". If the control is configured for a clockwise rotation
and the measured voltages are monitored as counterclockwise, the
alarm will be initiated.

4.4.1.14 Generator Inverse Time-Overcurrent ANSI# IEC 255

General notes The current produced by the generator is monitored depending on
how parameter "Generator current measuring" (param-
eter 1850 Äp. 87) is configured. If an overcurrent condition is
detected, the fault recognition time is determined by the configured
tripping characteristic curve and the measured current.
The tripping time is faster as the measured current increases in
magnitude according to a defined curve. According to IEC 255
three different characteristics are available.
If this protective function is triggered, the display indicates "Inv.
time overcurr." and the logical command variable "06.22" will be
enabled.
n "Normal inverse" characteristic:
t = 0.14 / (I/IP)0.02 - 1) * tP[s]
n "Highly inverse" characteristic:
t = 13.5 / (I/IP) - 1) * tP[s]
n "Extremely inverse" characteristic:
t = 80 / (I/IP)2 - 1) * tP[s]
Variables:
n t =tripping time
n tP = setting value time
n I = measured fault current
n IP = setting value current
Please take into account during configuration:
n for Istart:
Istart > In and Istart > IP
n for IP the smaller IP is, the steeper is the slope of the tripping
curve

The maximum tripping time is 327 s. If a tripping time

greater than 327 s is configured, an overcurrent fault
condition will not be recognized.

1771 Mains voltage 2 The unit can either monitor the wye voltages (phase-neutral) or the delta vol-
monitoring tages (phase-phase). The monitoring of the wye voltage is above all neces-
sary to avoid earth-faults in a compensated or isolated network resulting in
the tripping of the voltage protection.

[Phase - The phase-phase voltage will be measured and all subsequent parameters
phase] concerning voltage monitoring "mains" are referred to this value (VL-L).

Phase - neutral The phase-neutral voltage will be measured and all subsequent parameters
concerning voltage monitoring "mains" are referred to this value (VL-N).

Notes

WARNING: This parameter influences the protective functions.

2801 Mains settling 2 0 to 9999 s To end the emergency operation, the monitored mains must be within the
time configured operating parameters without interruption for the minimum period
[20 s]
of time set with this parameter without interruption.

This parameter permits delaying the switching of the load from the generator
to the mains.

The display indicates "Mains settling" during this time.

4.4.2.1 Mains Operating Voltage / Frequency

General notes
The mains operating voltage/frequency parameters are
used to trigger mains failure conditions and activate an
emergency run.
The mains values must be within this ranges to syn-
chronize the mains circuit breaker. It is recommended
to configure the operating limits within the monitoring
limits.

Example If the mains rated voltage is 400 V, the upper voltage limit is 110 %
(of the mains rated voltage, i.e. 440 V), and the hysteresis for the
upper voltage limit is 5 % (of the mains rated voltage, i.e. 20 V), the
mains voltage will be considered as being out of the operating
limits as soon as it exceeds 440 V and will be considered as being
within the operating limits again as soon as it falls below 420 V
(440 V – 20 V).
If the rated system frequency is 50 Hz, the lower frequency limit is
90 % (of the rated system frequency, i.e. 45 Hz), and the hyste-
resis for the lower frequency limit is 5 % (of the rated system fre-
quency, i.e. 2.5 Hz), the mains frequency will be considered as

4.4.2.2 Mains Decoupling

General notes The mains decoupling function is intended for use in a mains par-
allel operation and monitors a series of subordinate mains protec-
tion thresholds. If a threshold is exceeded, the easYgen initiates a
breaker opening and separates the generator(s) from the mains at
the defined breaker.
The following thresholds are monitored:
n Overfrequency level 2 (Ä Chapter 4.4.2.3 ‘Mains Overfre-
quency (Level 1 & 2) ANSI# 81O’ on page 127)
n Underfrequency level 2 (Ä Chapter 4.4.2.4 ‘Mains Underfre-
quency (Level 1 & 2) ANSI# 81U’ on page 129)
n Overvoltage level 2 (Ä Chapter 4.4.2.5 ‘Mains Overvoltage
(Level 1 & 2) ANSI# 59’ on page 130)
n Undervoltage level 2 (Ä Chapter 4.4.2.6 ‘Mains Undervoltage
(Level 1 & 2) ANSI# 27’ on page 131)
n Mains phase shift (Ä Chapter 4.4.2.8 ‘Change Of Frequency’
on page 136)
If one of these protective functions is triggered, the display indi-
cates "Mains decoupling" (the logical command variable "07.25"
will be enabled) and the active level 2 alarm.

The mains decoupling function is optimized on the

both relay outputs "GCB open" and "MCB open". In
case of using a free relay output in conjunction with the
command variable 07.25 an additional delay time of up
to 20 ms is to consider.

Calculation formulas The function is realized as a filter. For this reason the calculation is
based upon an voltage jump from rated voltage to the required trip-
ping voltage. For the parameter configuration it is useful to con-
sider a voltage jump from U1 (always rated voltage) to U2 with:
n U1: Input voltage before jump (e.g. rated voltage)
n U2: Input voltage after jump
n T: Time after monitoring is tripping

n Uout: Response voltage (filter output voltage compared with

limit to trip the monitoring)
n Limit: Monitored percentage value (parameter 8807 Äp. 133)
n τ: Response time (parameter 8839 Äp. 134)
Calculation formulas:
n T[s] = -τ[s] ln (1 - (Limit[%] - U1[%]) / (U2[%] - U1[%]))
n τ[s] = -T[s] / ln (1 - (Limit[%] - U1[%]) / (U2[%] - U1[%]))
n U2 = (Limit[%] - U1[%]) / (1 - e-T[s]) / τ[s]) + U1[%]
n Limit[%] = (1 - e-T[s]) / τ[s]) * (U2[%] - U1[%] ) + U1[%]
n Uout[%] = (1 - e-T[s]) / τ[s]) * (U2[%] - U1[%])

Example 1 We suppose the monitoring shall trip at approximately 110 % of

nominal voltage after T = 600 seconds. For the calculation we
assume a voltage jump from U1 = 100 % to U2 = 110 %, we chose
as limit (parameter 8807 Äp. 133) a value near but less than U2:
Limit = 109 %. We calculate the response time τ as:
τ[s] = -T[s] / ln (1 - (Limit [%] - U1[%]) / (U2[%] - U1[%]))
τ[s] = - 600 s / ln (1 - (109 % - 100 %) / (110 % - 100 %))
= - 600 s / ln 0.1 ≈ - 600 s / - 2.3026 ≈ 261 s
The response time τ (parameter 8839 Äp. 134) is 261 s.

Example 2 We suppose the monitoring shall trip at approximately 110 % of

nominal voltage after T = 600 seconds. For the calculation we
assume a voltage jump from U1 = 100 % to U2 = 110 %, we chose
as limit (parameter 8807 Äp. 133) a value near but less than U2:
Limit = 107 %. We calculate the response time τ as:
τ[s] = -T[s] / ln (1 - (Limit [%] - U1[%]) / (U2[%] - U1[%]))
τ[s] = - 600 s / ln (1 - (107 % - 100 %) / (110 % - 100 %))
= - 600 s / ln 0.3 ≈ - 600 s / - 1.204 ≈ 498 s
The response time τ (parameter 8839 Äp. 134) is 498 s.

Example 3 n Limit = 107 % (parameter 8807 Äp. 133)

n τ = 128 s (response time, parameter 8839 Äp. 134)
n U1 = 100 % (is always U rated)
n T = 600 s (tripping time)
Calculation of tripping voltage U2:
U2 = (Limit[%] - U1[%]) / (1 - e-T[s]) / τ[s]) + U1[%]
U2 = (107 % - 100 %) / (1 - e- 600 s / 128 s) + 100 %
≈ (7 %) / (1 - 1 - 0.00921) + 100 % ≈ 107.065 %
For tripping after 600 s, a voltage jump from 100 % to 107.065 %
(a little higher than the limit) is needed.

n U1 = 100 % (is always U rated)
n T = 600 s (tripping time)
Calculation of tripping voltage U2:
U2 = (Limit[%] - U1[%]) / (1 - e-T[s]) / τ[s]) + U1[%]
U2 = (110 % - 100 %) / (1 - e- 600 s / 128 s) + 100 %
≈ (10 %) / (1 - 1 - 0.00921) + 100 % ≈ 110.093 %
For tripping after 600 s, a voltage jump from 100 % to 110.093 %
(a little higher than the limit) is needed.

4.4.2.8 Change Of Frequency

Phase Shift A vector/phase shift is defined as the sudden variation of the
voltage curve which may be caused by a major generator load
change. It usually occurs, if the utility opens the MCB, which
causes a load change for the genset.
The easYgen measures the duration of a cycle, where a new
measurement is started with each voltage passing through zero.
The measured cycle duration will be compared with an internal
quartz-calibrated reference time to determine the cycle duration dif-
ference of the voltage signal.
A vector/phase shift as shown in Fig. 71 causes a premature or
delayed zero passage. The determined cycle duration difference
corresponds with the occurring phase shift angle.
The monitoring may be carried out three-phased or one/three-
phased. Different limits may be configured for one-phase and
three-phase monitoring. The vector/phase shift monitor can also be
used as an additional method to decouple from the mains. Vector/
Fig. 71: Phase Shift phase shift monitoring is only enabled after the monitored voltage
exceeds 50% of the PT secondary rated voltage.

Function "Voltage cycle duration not within the

permissible range"
The voltage cycle duration exceeds the configured limit
value for the phase/vector shift. The result is, that the
power circuit breaker that disconnects from the mains,
is opened, the message "Mains phase shift" is dis-
played, and the logical command variable "07.14" is
enabled.
The prerequisite for phase/vector shift monitoring is
that the generator is operating in a mains parallel oper-
ation (the MCB and GCB are both closed).

df/dt (ROCOF)
Function "Rate Of Change Of Fre- quency not
within permissible limits"
df/dt (Rate Of Change Of Frequency) monitoring
measures the stability of the frequency. The frequency
of a source will vary due to changing loads and other
effects. The rate of these frequency changes due to
the load variances is relatively high compared to those
of a large network.
The control unit calculates the unit of measure per unit
of time. The df/dt is measured over 4 sine waves to
ensure that it is differentiated from a phase shift. This
results in a minimum response time of approximately
100ms (at 50 Hz).

Note

If a phase/vector shift occurs in one or two phases, the single-phase

threshold value (parameter 3054 Äp. 137) is taken into consideration; if a
phase/vector shift occurs in all three phases, the three-phase threshold value
(parameter 3055 Äp. 137) is taken into consideration. Single phase moni-
toring is very sensitive and may lead to nuisance tripping if the selected
phase angle settings are too small.

3 phase During three-phase voltage phase/vector shift monitoring, tripping occurs only
if the phase/vector shift exceeds the specified threshold value (param-
eter 3055 Äp. 137) in all three phases within 2 cycles.

4.4.2.9 Mains Voltage Phase Rotation

General notes
NOTICE!
Damage to the control unit and/or generation
equipment
– Please ensure during installation that all voltages
applied to this unit are wired correctly to both sides
of the circuit breaker.
Failure to do so may result in damage to the control
unit and/or generation equipment due to closing the
breaker asynchronous or with mismatched phase rota-
tions and phase rotation monitoring enabled at all con-
nected components (engine, generator, breakers,
cable, busbars, etc.).
This function will block a connection of systems with
mismatched phases only under the following condi-
tions:
– The voltages being measured are wired correctly
with respect to the phase rotation at the measuring
points (i.e. the voltage transformer in front and
behind the circuit breaker)
– The measuring voltages are wired without angular
phase shift or interruption from the measuring point
to the control unit
– The measuring voltages are wired to the correct
terminals of the control unit (i.e. L1 of the gener-
ator is connected with the terminal of the control
unit which is intended for the L1 of the generator)
– The LogicsManager function "Enable MCB" (refer
to parameter 12923 Äp. 200) is false in case of a
incorrect rotation field

Correct phase rotation of the phase voltages ensures that damage

will not occur during a breaker closure to either the mains or the
generator. The voltage phase rotation alarm checks the phase
rotation of the voltages and the configured phase rotation to ensure
they are identical.
The directions of rotation are differentiated as "clockwise" and
"counter clockwise". With a clockwise field the direction of rotation
is "L1-L2-L3"; with a counter clockwise field the direction of rotation
is "L1-L3-L2".
If the control is configured for a clockwise rotation and the voltages
into the unit are calculated as counterclockwise the alarm will be
initiated. The direction of configured rotation being monitored by
the control unit is displayed on the screen.

If this protective function is triggered, the display indi-

cates "Mns.ph.rot. mismatch" and the logical command
variable "07.05" will be enabled.

4.4.3.3 Engine/Generator Speed Detection

General notes Speed detection checks if the generator voltage frequency f (deter-
mined from the measured generator voltage) differs from the
measured engine speed n (determined from the Pickup signal) and
determines a difference (Δf-n).
If the two frequencies are not identical (Δf-n ≠ 0) and the monitored
frequency mismatch reaches or exceeds the threshold, an alarm is
output. Additionally the LogicsManager output "Firing speed" is
checked upon its logical status with respect to the measuring
values "generator frequency" and "Pickup speed".

If this protective function is triggered, the display indi-

cates "Speed/freq. mismatch" and the logical com-
mand variable "05.07" will be enabled.

Speed/frequency mismatch (n/f mismatch) is carried

out only if an MPU is connected to the control and
parameter "Speed pickup" (parameter 1600 Äp. 239),
is configured On. The following is valid:
The measurement via Pickup is enabled (On):
Mismatch monitoring is carried out using the engine
speed from the Pickup and the generator frequency. If
the speed/frequency mismatch or the LogicsManager
is enabled and the frequency is outside of the config-
ured limit, an alarm will be issued.
The measurement via Pickup is disabled (Off):
Mismatch monitoring is carried out using the generator
frequency and the LogicsManager. If the LogicsMan-
ager output is enabled and the frequency is outside of
the configured limit, an alarm will be issued.

4.4.4.7 Generator/Busbar/Mains Phase Rotation

General notes
NOTICE!
Damage to the control unit and/or generation
equipment
– Ensure that the control unit is properly connected
to phase voltages on both sides of the circuit
breaker(s) during installation.
Failure to do so may result in damage to the control
unit and/or generation equipment due to the breaker
closing asynchronously or with mismatched phase
rotations. Also ensure that phase rotation monitoring is
enabled at all connected components (engine, gener-
ator, breakers, cable, busbars, etc.).
This function will block a connection of systems with
mismatched phases only under the following condi-
tions:
– The voltages being measured are wired correctly
with respect to the phase rotation at the measuring
points (i.e. the potential transformers in on both
sides of the circuit breaker)
– The voltages being measured are wired so that
angular phase shifts or any interruptions from the
measuring point to the control unit do not exist
– The voltages being measured are wired to the cor-
rect terminals of the control unit (i.e. L1 phase of
the generator is connected with the terminal of the
control unit which is intended for the generator L1
phase)
– The configured alarm class is of class C, D, E, or F
(shutdown alarm).

All parameters listed below only apply to application

mode to .

Correct phase rotation of the phase voltages ensures that damage

will not occur during a breaker closure to either the mains or the
generator. The voltage phase rotation alarm checks, if the phase
rotation of the measured voltage systems are identical.
If the control detects different phase rotations of mains and gener-
ator, the alarm will be initiated and a breaker synchronization is
inhibited. However, this alarm will not prevent a dead busbar clo-
sure, i.e. a dead bus start.

If this protective function is triggered, the display indi-

cates "Ph.rotation mismatch" and the logical command
variable "08.33" will be enabled.

the horn (command variable 03.05) is disabled. The alarm LED flashes until
the alarm has been acknowledged either via the push button, the LogicsMan-
ager, or the interface.

ment of alarms sages. The On-delay time is the minimum time the input signals have to be
"1". The Off-delay time is the time how long the input conditions have to be
"0" before the next high signal is accepted.

Once the conditions of the LogicsManager have been fulfilled the alarms will
be acknowledged.

4.4.6.10 Multi-Unit Parameter Alignment

General notes The multi-unit parameter alignment functionality requires that the
relevant parameters are all configured identically at all participating
units.

If at least one of these parameters is configured dif-

ferent in at least one of the units, the display indicates
"Parameter alignment" on all units and the logical com-
mand variable "08.16" will be enabled. To identify dif-
ferent configured units, please use the diagnostic
screen "Genset bad parameter alignment".

This alarm is always self-acknowledging, i.e. the control automati-

cally clears the alarm if it is no longer valid.

4.4.6.11 Multi-Unit Missing Members

General notes The multi-unit missing members monitoring function checks
whether all participating units are available (sending data on the
load share line).
If the number of available units is less than the number of mem-
bers configured in parameter 4063 Äp. 180 for at least the delay
time, the display indicates "Missing members" and the logical com-
mand variable "08.17" will be enabled.

After energizing the easYgen, a delay is started, which

allows a possible "Missing members" alarm to become
active. This delay depends on the Node-ID of the
easYgen (parameter 8950 Äp. 298) and the transfer
rate of a load share fast message (param-
eter 9921 Äp. 314) and may last for approx. 140 sec-
onds for a high Node-ID (e.g. 127). This delay serves
for detecting the Master of a CAN bus connection.
Approximately two minutes after energizing the
easYgen, the alarm delay will be set to a fix time,
which depends on the setting of param-
eter 9921 Äp. 314 (Transfer rate LS fast message)
and is in the range between 3 to 12 seconds.

4.5 Configure Application

4.5.1 Configure Breakers
General notes
The assignment of the defined relays to defined func-
tions occurs by selection of the application mode (i.e.
function "Command: Close GCB" on relay [R 6], this
relay can no longer be operated via the LogicsMan-
ager).
The same way some relays are designated to specific
functions, others may be assigned to different func-
tions. These are listed as "programmed" relays. If a
relay is "programmable" the function may be assigned
to other relays via the LogicsManager by configuration.
For additional information refer to Ä Chapter 4.5.5
‘Discrete Outputs (LogicsManager)’ on page 218.

If the easYgen is intended to be operated in parallel

with the mains, the mains voltage measuring inputs
must be connected. If an external mains decoupling is
performed, jumpers between busbar and mains
voltage measuring inputs may be installed.

Changing the application mode will not change other

configured values in the parameters. The application
mode parameter is the only one.

General notes

Normally Open Contacts (NO)

If a voltage is applied to the discrete input terminals,
the discrete input is enabled (i.e. in the operating
state). The controller only recognizes a fault condition
or control operation via the discrete input when the dis-
crete input terminals are energized. If fault monitoring
is performed via Normally Open contacts, the state of
Fig. 74: Normally Open Contacts - the system should be monitored by the state of the dis-
Schematic crete input.

Normally Closed Contacts (NC)

If a voltage is applied to the discrete input terminals,
the discrete input is not enabled (i.e. in the idle state).
The controller only recognizes a fault condition or con-
trol operation via the discrete input when the discrete
input terminals are de-energized.

The relay "command: GCB open" will be energized to open the GCB and will
be de-energized again after the discrete input "Reply GCB" is energized to
signal the control that the GCB is open.

N.C. Normally closed:

The relay "command: GCB open" will be de-energized to open the GCB and
will be energized again after the discrete input "Reply GCB" is energized to
signal the control that the GCB is open.

Not used A GCB open relay is not used and relay R7 (Command: open GCB) is freely
programmable. In this case, parameter 3414 Äp. 192 must be configured to
"Constant" to open the breaker.

Notes

This parameter only applies to application mode to .

3414 GCB close 2 Impulse The relay "Command: GCB close" issues an add-on pulse. If the relay is con-
command figured in this manner a holding coil and sealing contacts must be installed
externally to the control unit. The DI "Reply GCB" is used to identify closed
contacts.

[Constant] The relay "Command: close GCB" may be wired directly into the holding cir-
cuit for the power circuit breaker. If this method is utilized it is recommended
that isolation relays are used.

After the connect pulse has been issued and the reply of the power circuit
breaker has been received, the relay "Command: close GCB" remains ener-
gized. If a class C alarm or higher occurs or a GCB open command is issued,
this relay de-energizes.

Notes

In both cases the relay "Command: GCB open" energizes to open the GCB if
parameter 3403 Äp. 192 is not configured as "Not used".

Permissive The unit acts as a synch check device. The unit will not issue speed or
voltage bias commands to achieve a synchronization, but if synchronization
conditions are matched (frequency, phase, voltage and phase angle), the
control will issue a breaker close command.

There are two different functionalities of this option depending on the setting
of parameter 3414 Äp. 192 (GCB close command).

n GCB close command set to "Impulse":

The GCB close command is pulsed as long as the synchronization con-
ditions are matched.
n GCB close command set to "Constant":
The GCB close command remains enabled as long as the synchroniza-
tion conditions are matched.

Check Used for checking a synchronizer prior to commissioning.

The control actively synchronizes generator(s) by issuing speed and voltage

bias commands, but does not issue a breaker closure command.

4.5.2.1.1 Characteristic Curves Setup

General notes The characteristic curves of "Table A" and "Table B" (freely config-
urable over 9 defined percentage points) are independently config-
urable for all analog inputs. Each percentage point may be scaled
to related values measured from the analog input (0 to 500 Ohm or
0 to 20 mA), so that the actual display reflects the measured
values (i.e. 200 to 600 kW).
The created characteristic curves can be set for visualization and
monitoring via the configuration to "Table A" (for Table A) as well
as "Table B" (for Table B).

Fig. 76: Characteristic curves (example table)

The X and Y junction may be moved within the range of values (the
junctions don't have to be equidistant).
When configuring the X coordinates, ensure the coordinates
always increase in scale continuously.
In the following example the first set of x/y coordinates are correct
and the second set of x/y coordinates are wrong:

X-coordinate (cor- 0% 10 % 20 % 40 % 50 % 60 % 80 % 90 % 100 %

4.5.2.2 External Analog Inputs

General notes If an external expansion board (Phoenix Contact) is connected to
the easYgen via the CAN bus, it is possible to use 16 additional
analog inputs.
Configuration of these external analog inputs is performed similarly
to the internal analog inputs.
n Refer to Ä Table on page 211 for the parameter IDs of the
parameters for external analog inputs 1 through 16.

Please note that the available options for the parame-

ters "Type" and "Sender type" differ from the internal
analog inputs.
The parameters "Offset" and "Monitoring wire break"
are not available for the external analog inputs.
– Refer to the Parameter List for details.

A wire break or sender failure is indicated by a dedi-

cated value sent via the CAN bus (Ä Chapter 4.6.1
‘CAN Interface 1’ on page 297).

For an example for the configuration of external analog

inputs refer to Ä Chapter 6.4.12.1 ‘Configure External
Inputs/Outputs (Phoenix)’ on page 419.

Monitoring of the analog inputs (overrun/underrun)

must be configured manually to the flexible limits

4.5.3 Discrete Inputs

General notes Discrete inputs may be configured to normally open (N.O.) or nor-
mally closed (N.C.) states.

Fig. 77: Discrete inputs - alarm/control inputs - operation logic

(state N.O.)
In the state N.O.:
n No potential is present during normal operation.
n If an alarm is issued or control operation is performed, the input
is energized.

Fig. 78: Discrete inputs - alarm/control inputs - operation logic

(state N.C.)
In the state N.C.:
n A potential is continuously present during normal operation
n If an alarm is issued or control operation is performed, the input
is de-energized.

All reply messages from breakers are evaluated as

N.C.

Configuration
Configure Application > Discrete Inputs

Alarm inputs may also be configured as control inputs

and then be used as command variables in the Logi-
csManager.

The discrete inputs 1 to 5 are pre-configured to various

functions and differ in their default values. However,
they may still be configured freely.
The discrete inputs 7 & 8 are always used for the cir-
cuit breaker replies and cannot be configured.

If a discrete input has been configured with a shut-

down alarm that has been enabled to self-acknowl-
edge, and has been configured as engine delayed the
following scenario may happen:
– The discrete input shuts down the engine because
of its alarm class.
– Due to the engine stopping, all engine delayed
alarms are ignored.
– The alarm class is acknowledged automatically.
– The alarm will self-acknowledge and clear the fault
message that shut the engine down.
This prevents the fault from being analyzed.
– After a short delay, the engine will restart.
– After the engine monitoring delay expires, the fault
that originally shut down the engine will do so
again. This cycle will continue to repeat until cor-
rected.

1203 DI {x} Delayed 2 Yes Monitoring for fault conditions is not performed until engine delayed moni-
by engine toring is enabled. The engine monitoring delay time (param-
speed eter 3315 Äp. 236) must expire prior to fault monitoring being enabled for
parameters assigned this delay.

[No] Monitoring for this fault condition is continuously enabled regardless of engine
speed.

1204 DI {x} Self 2 Yes The control automatically clears the alarm if the fault condition is no longer
acknowledge detected.

[No] The control does not automatically reset the alarm when the fault condition is
no longer detected.

The alarm must be acknowledged and reset by manually pressing the appro-
priate buttons or by activating the LogicsManager output "External acknowl-
edgement" (via a discrete input or via an interface).

Notes

If the DI is configured with the alarm class "Control", self acknowledgement is

always active.

Uncontrolled operation due to faulty configuration
The discrete output "Ready for operation OFF" must
be wired in series with an emergency stop function.
This means that it must be ensured that the generator
circuit breaker is opened and the engine is stopped if
this discrete output is de-energized.
If the availability of the plant is important, this fault
must be signaled independently from the unit.

General notes The generators are paralleled together by closing their circuit
breakers during the engine start sequence. Then after a certain
speed is achieved the voltage regulators are enabled and the gen-
erators will produce voltage. The run-up synchronization method is
used to get several synchronous generators onto load in a very
short time. This time is determined by the engine start time and the
AVR on-excitation.

The pickup input must be activated (parameter

The frequency controller output does not control the idle speed; it
will remain in initial state position. The GCB cannot be closed in
idle mode.
A message may be output to a relay here using the LogicsManager
(Idle mode is active, command variable 04.15), e.g. as a signal for

4.5.10 Emergency Run

General notes
The emergency power operation is possible only in
application mode , , , , and
(2 power circuit breakers).
If the LogicsManager outputs 'Stop request in AUTO'
or 'Inhibit emergency run' are TRUE, an emergency
power operation may be prevented or interrupted from
an external source.

Prerequisites
– The emergency power function can only be acti-
vated for synchronous generators with parameter
2802 Äp. 242.
– Emergency power is carried out in operating mode
AUTOMATIC regardless of the status of the Logi-
csManager output 'Start request in AUTO' (Logi-
csManager).

The display indicates "Emergency run" during emergency power

operation.
The following principles are observed in case of an emergency
power operation:
n If an emergency power operation is initiated, the engine is
started automatically, unless the start sequence is interrupted
via an alarm or prevented via the LogicsManager or the oper-
ating mode is changed.
n The GCB can be closed regardless of the engine delay time if
the generator frequency and voltage are within the configured
operating limits (Ä Chapter 4.4.1.1 ‘ Generator Operating
Voltage / Frequency’ on page 97) if the parameter "Undelay
close GCB" (parameter 12210 Äp. 194) has been set accord-
ingly (default setting).
n If the mains return during an emergency power operation (GCB
is closed), the mains settling time (parameter 2801 Äp. 124)
must expire before the load is transferred from the generator to
mains operation.

Activation of emergency power

If the mains are not within the configured frequency
and voltage operating limits (Ä Chapter 4.4.2.1 ‘Mains
Operating Voltage / Frequency’ on page 124) for at
least the time configured in the parameter "Mains fail
delay time" (parameter 2800 Äp. 242), an emergency
power operation is activated.

MCB malfunction
An emergency power operation will be performed, if
the control is not able to close or recluse the MCB and
the alarm "Fail to close MCB" occurs.

4.5.11.1 Load Dependent Start Stop (LDSS)

General notes Load-dependent start/stop may either be performed according to a
system reserve power or the generator load depending on the con-
figuration of the "Start stop mode" (parameter 5752 Äp. 250).

Refer to Ä Chapter 9.6.1 ‘Load Dependent Start Stop

(LDSS) Formulas’ on page 700 for all formulas related
to the LDSS function.

4.5.11.1.1 Generator Capacity Utilization

If the "Start stop mode" (parameter 5752 Äp. 250) is configured to
"Generator load", load-dependent start stop is performed in a way
that the next genset will be started if all gensets in operation reach
the maximum generator load (parameter 5762 Äp. 253 or
5770 Äp. 257 "IOP/MOP Max. generator load"), a configured per-
centage (e.g. 80°%) of the rated power. In order to stop one gener-
ator, the load of all gensets in operation must fall below the min-
imum generator load (parameter 5763 Äp. 253 or 5771 Äp. 257
"IOP/MOP Min. generator load"), a configured percentage (e.g. 30°
%) of the rated power. There are different set points for isolated
and mains parallel operation.
An additional dynamic parameter (parameter 5757 Äp. 254 or
5758 Äp. 257 "IOP/MOP Dynamic") prevents the gensets from
being started and stopped continusouly if only a few gensets are in
operation.
This function provides an easy calculation for the start of the next
genset.

– Refer to the description of the dynamic parameters

for detailed information.

The following parameters need to configured for this operation:

ping of gensets in case of small load variations.

4.5.11.1.2 System Reserve Power

If the "Start stop mode" (parameter 5752 Äp. 250) is configured to
"Reserve power", load-dependent start stop is performed in a way
that a configured minimum reserve power is maintained in the
system. This means that there is always enough reserve power for
load swings on the busbar regardless of the generator load. The
actual reserve power in the system is the total rated power of all
gensets on the busbar minus the actual total generator real power.

4.5.11.1.3 Generator Selection

General notes If a genset is to be started, the genset with the highest priority con-
figured will be started. If a genset is to be stopped, the genset with
the lowest priority configured will be stopped.
If all gensets have the same priority, the next genset is selected
according to the size of engine, i.e. the genset combination, which
allows an optimum efficiency will be used.
If all gensets have the same rated load or this parameter is disa-
bled, the remaining hours until the next maintenance are consid-
ered. If these are also the same, the genset with the lowest gener-
ator number will be started first or stopped last.
Priority order:
n 1. Priority (parameter 5751 Äp. 250)
n 2. Efficiency (size of engines) (parameter 5754 Äp. 251)
n 3. Service hours (parameter 5755 Äp. 251)
n 4. Generator (device) number (parameter 1702 Äp. 81)
The load-dependent start/stop function requires the following con-
ditions have been met:

5752 Start stop 2 [Reserve Load-dependent start stop is performed in a way that a configured minimum
mode power] reserve power is maintained in the system. The reserve power is the total
generator rated power minus the total actual generator power.

If the reserve power falls below the threshold, another genset will be started.
If the reserve power is sufficient to stop one genset without falling below the
threshold, a genset will be stopped.

Generator load Load-dependent start stop is performed in a way that a configured maximum
generator capacity utilization is not exceeded.

If the generator capacity utilization exceeds this threshold, another genset will
be started. If the generator capacity utilization is low enough to stop one
genset without exceeding the threshold again, a genset will be stopped.

5753 Dead busbar 2 [All] All available gensets will be started in case of a dead busbar and remain con-
start mode nected to the busbar for the minimum running time (param-
eter 5759 Äp. 252). Then the gensets will be stopped according to the config-
ured LDSS procedure. The start delay is configured in
parameter 2800 Äp. 242 (Mains fail delay time).

LDSS The start of the gensets will be performed according to the configured LDSS
priority in case of a dead busbar.

Notes

This function cannot be used as an emergency power function in mains par-

allel operations because it cannot control the MCB operation.

If the MCB should be operated, the emergency run function (parameter

2802 Äp. 242) must be enabled.

5754 Fit size of 2 This parameter defines whether the start/stop priority order (Ä Chapter
engine 4.5.11.1.3 ‘Generator Selection’ on page 249) considers the size of the
engine (generator rated power) or not. In case of different sized gensets, the
control can start a genset combination which results in optimum efficiency.

The fuel efficiency may be optimized when this parameter is enabled. This
parameter may be disabled if all generators have the same size.

Yes The priority order considers the engine size for the start of the next engine for
gensets with the same priority.

[No] The priority order does not consider the rated power of the engines to fit the
best size of engines.

5755 Fit service 2 [Off] The remaining hours until the next service is required are not considered
hours when evaluating the engines to be started.

Staggered The remaining hours until the next service is required are considered when
evaluating the engines to be started for gensets with same priority. The gen-
sets are utilized in a way that the maintenance may be performed at different
times to ensure that not all gensets have a downtime due to a maintenance at
the same time. The genset with the lowest hours until the next service will be
started first.

Equal The remaining hours until the next service is required are considered when
evaluating the engines to be started for gensets with same priority. The gen-
sets are utilized in a way that the maintenance may be performed at the same
time for all gensets. The genset with the highest hours until the next service
will be started first.

5756 Changes of 2 Engine sequencing may be configured to start and stop engines according to
engines the time remaining until the maintenance hours counter (param-
eter 2550 Äp. 324) expires (counter reaches 0 hrs).

The easYgen takes the time remaining on the maintenance hours counter
and divides it by the service hours group (32/64/128 h) configured in this
parameter to determine the individual unit’s time group.

A generator with a larger time group number has more time remaining before
the maintenance hours timer expires and is considered to be the higher pri-
ority generator.

If two generators are in the same time group, the configured generator
number determines which generator is the higher priority and will be started
first.

This functionality enables the end user to have multiple generators due for
service at approximately the same time.

[Off] No engine change will be performed. The engines are selected according to
the setting of parameter 5755 Äp. 251 (Fit service hours) with 1 hour spacing
in case of load changes.

All 32/64/128 h If parameter 5754 Äp. 251 (Fit size of engine) is configured to "Yes", only
engines with the same rated power and priority are changed, if it is configured
to "No", engines with the same priority are changed depending on the service
hours and generator number. All engines are divided into 32/64/128 service
hour groups. An engine change is performed if one engine changes to
another group in 32/64/128 hour spacing.

5760 IOP Reserve 2 1 to 999999 kW The value configured for the reserve power determines when an additional
power generator will be started. The reserve power is the desired spinning reserve
[100 kW]
of a generator or generators. The reserve power is usually estimated as the
largest load swing that a power plant may encounter during the time it takes
to bring an additional generator online.

The available generator power is calculated by adding up the generator real

power ratings of all generators with closed GCBs. The reserve generator
power is calculated by subtracting the power currently being produced by all
generators with closed GCBs from the total available generator power.

If the actual reserve power of the generators is less than the value configured
in this parameter, the next generator will be started.

5757 IOP Dynamic 2 The dynamic determines when to start or stop the next genset and shows the
following behavior:

Starting genset

The Dynamic is only considered for the start sequence if "Fit size of engines"
is enabled (parameter 5754 Äp. 251). The control requests a certain amount
of additional load depending on the dynamic. It may start two or more gensets
to supply the required load. Also refer to the following example.

Stopping genset

The dynamic determines how soon a genset will be stopped. It prevents con-
tinuous start and stop if only a few gensets are in operation. In this case, the
remaining gensets would not reach the maximum limit if one genset stops (if,
for example, two gensets with 100 kW rated load, a minimum load of 40 %
and a maximum load of 70 % are operated, the second genset will be shut
down if both reach 40 kW and the remaining engine would operate with
80 kW and request the next engine and so on). The more gensets are run-
ning, the less the influence of this parameter. Also refer to the following
example.

[Low] Starting genset

A larger genset is requested and it will take longer until the next change is
required. The engines are operated with more reserve power. The requested
load is calaculated so that the gensets will be loaded with 25 % of the range
between minimum and maximum generator load (parameters 5762 Äp. 253 &
5763 Äp. 253) after the new genset has been started.

Stopping genset

The genset will shut down at a lower limit and be operated longer. The
number of gensets in operation will remain constant for a wider range of load.
The load on the remaining gensets must not exceed 25 % of the range
between minimum and maximum generator load (parameters 5762 Äp. 253 &
5763 Äp. 253).

Moderate Starting genset

A medium genset is requested. The requested load is calaculated so that the

gensets will be loaded with 50 % of the range between minimum and max-
imum generator load (parameters 5762 Äp. 253 & 5763 Äp. 253) after the
new genset has been started.

Stopping genset

The load on the remaining gensets must not exceed 50 % of the range
between minimum and maximum generator load (parameters 5762 Äp. 253 &
5763 Äp. 253).

High Starting genset

A smaller genset is requested to operate the engines with higher efficiency.

This may lead to more frequent starts and stops. The requested load is cala-
culated so that the gensets will be loaded with 75 % of the range between
minimum and maximum generator load (parameters 5762 Äp. 253 &
5763 Äp. 253) after the new genset has been started.

Stopping genset

The genset will be shut down earlier. This may lead to more frequent starts
and stops. The load on the remaining gensets must not exceed 75 % of the
range between minimum and maximum generator load (parameters
5762 Äp. 253 & 5763 Äp. 253).

200 kW is configured to a maximum generator load of 70 % and a minimum

load reaches 140 kW. This is the 70 % maximum load limit of the running
genset and requires the start of the next genset.

load sharing at the interchange point (all participating gensets must
be configured to the same set point).

A minimum load threshold must be exceeded to start

the first genset, i.e. a genset will only be started if a
minimum load would be demanded from the generator.
There are dedicated LDSS parameters for mains par-

In many cases, it is desirable that the engine is prevented from starting unless
the generator will operate at a specific kW level or higher to ensure a reason-

4.5.11.2 Critical Mode

The critical mode may be used to operate a fire engine pump or
any other critical operation which does not allow a shutdown of the
genset under any alarm conditions.
The LogicsManager is used to define the conditions that will enable
the critical mode like a discrete input (for conditions and explana-
tion of programming refer to Ä Chapter 9.4.1 ‘LogicsManager
Overview’ on page 635).

Alarm Classes When critical mode is enabled the alarm classes are reclassified as
follows:

Alarm classes

Normal opera- A B C D E F
tion

Critical mode A B B B B B

Critical mode "On" A critical mode will be initiated/started once the critical mode oper-
ation LogicsManager output becomes TRUE (logic "1"). The "Crit-
ical mode" message is displayed on the display screen. If the
engine is not already running, the controller will attempt to start the
engine as configured (parameter 4102 Äp. 235). All shutdown
alarms become warning messages (see above).

Critical mode "Off" A critical mode will be interrupted/stopped once critical mode oper-
ation LogicsManager output becomes FALSE (logic "0") and the
postrun time has expired. If the operation mode changes to STOP,
this time will be considered as expired. With termination of the crit-
ical mode, a normal cool down is performed.

Refer to Ä Chapter 9.4.3 ‘Logical Outputs’

on page 638 for more information about the priorities
of the logical outputs.

4.5.11.2.1 Critical Operation At Busbar

The aforementioned fire engine pump or other critical operation is
connected to the busbar, i.e. it requires a closed GCB to be sup-
plied by the generator during critical operation.
Parameter 4100 Äp. 264 (Close GCB in critical mode) should be
configured to "Yes" and an external provision for load reduction
should be provided. This ensures the pump operation of a sprinkler
system.

4.5.12 Configure Controller

WARNING!
Hazards due to incorrect settings
The following parameters dictate how the easYgen
controls voltage, frequency, load and power factor.
Failure to do so may lead to incorrect measurements
and failures within the control unit resulting in damage
to or destruction of the generator and/or personal
injury or death.
– Always ensure that the correct settings are entered
in these parameters.

The Real load, reactive load, and process control all utilize PID
controllers. The response of each control loop can be adjusted for
optimum response, however it is important to understand what a
PID controller is and the effect of each controller adjustment has
on the controller response.
Proportional gain, integral gain (stability) and DR (speed derivative
ratio) are the adjustable and interacting parameters used to match
the response of the control loop with the response of the system.
They correspond to the P (proportional), I (integral), and D (deriva-
tive) terms, and are displayed in the easYgen as follows:
P - Proportional gain (%)
I - Integral gain (%)
D - Derivative gain (determined by DR and I)

Proportional Control Proportional response is directly proportional to a process change.

n Analogy: Setting hand throttle to keep constant speed on
straight and level road.
Proportional control (using the same analogy) results in a certain
speed as long as the car is not subjected to any load change such
as a hill. If a throttle is set to any particular setting, the speed of the
car will remain constant as long as the car remains straight and
level. If the car goes up a hill it will slow down. Of course, going
down a hill the car would gain speed.

Integral Control Integral compensates for process and set point load changes.
n Analogy: Cruise control maintains constant speed regardless of
hills.
Integral, sometimes called reset, provides additional action to the
original proportional response as long as the process variable
remains away from the set point. Integral is a function of the mag-
nitude and duration of the deviation. In this analogy the reset
response would keep the car speed constant regardless of the ter-
rain.

Derivative Derivative provides a temporary over-correction to compensate for

long transfer lags and reduce stabilization time on process upsets
(momentary disturbances). The behavior of the derivative param-
eter is shown in Fig. 87.
n Analogy: Accelerating into high speed lane with merging traffic.

Configuration
Configure Application > Configure Controller

Derivative, sometimes called "preact" of "rate", is very difficult to

draw an accurate analogy to, because the action takes place only
when the process changes and is directly related to the speed at
which the process changes.
Merging into high speed traffic of a freeway from an "on" ramp is
no easy task and requires accelerated correction (temporary over-
correction) in both increasing and decreasing directions. The appli-
cation of brakes to fall behind the car in the first continuous lane or
passing gear to get ahead of the car in the first continuous lane is a

PID Tuning Example If the system is unstable, make sure the governor is the cause.
This can be checked by closing the valve limiter until it has control
of the actuator output. If the governor is causing the oscillation,
time the oscillation cycle time. A rule-of- thumb is, if the system’s
oscillation cycle time is less than 1 second, reduce the Proportional
gain term. A rule-of-thumb is, if the system’s oscillation cycle time
is greater than 1 second, reduce the Integral gain term (propor-
tional gain may need to be increased also).
On an initial startup with the easYgen, all PID dynamic gain terms
will require adjustment to match the respective PID’s response to
that of its control loop. There are multiple dynamic tuning methods
available that can be used with the easYgen’s PIDs to assist in
determining the gain terms that provide optimum control loop
response times.
The following method can be used to achieve PID gain values that
are close to optimum:
1. Increase Derivative Ratio (DR) to 100.
2. Reduce integral gain to 0.01.
3. Increase proportional gain until system just starts to oscillate.

The optimum gain for this step is when the

system just starts to oscillate and maintains a
self-sustaining oscillation that does not increase
or decrease in magnitude.

4. Record the control gain (Kc) and oscillation period (T) in sec-
onds.
5. Set the dynamics as follows:
n For PI control G=P(I/s + 1) set:
– Proportional gain = 0.45*Kc
– Integral gain = 1.2/T
– Derivative ratio = 100
n For PID control G=P(I/s + 1 + Ds) set:
– Proportional gain = 0.60*Kc
– Integral gain = 2/T
– Deriv ratio = 8/(T*Integral Gain) for feedback domi-
nant
– Deriv ratio = (T*Integral Gain)/8 for input dominant
ð This method of tuning will get the gain settings close,
they can be fine-tuned from this point.

4.5.12.1 Frequency Control

Notes on kick impulse function Frequency control provides a kick impulse function, which issues a
pulse if the frequency control deadband (parameter 5550 Äp. 268)
is not exceeded and no synchronization could be performed for 20
seconds. The function is enabled, if a synchronization is carried
out.
n If the phase angle is between 0° and 180°, a "frequency lower"
signal is issued.
n If the phase angle is between 180° and 360°, a "frequency
raise" signal is issued.
The pulse duration is 100ms. If the synchronization still fails,
another pulse will be issued after 10 seconds.
The following conditions are required for the kick impulse function:
n Frequency control (parameter 5507 Äp. 267) is configured to
"3pos controller"
n Synchronization mode (parameter 5728 Äp. 201) is configured
to "RUN" or "CHECK" (or "Controlled by LM" and RUN or

tion 3pos controller The frequency is controlled using a three-step controller.

Off Frequency control is not carried out.

5510 Proportional 2 0.01 to 100.00 The proportional coefficient specifies the gain. By increasing the gain, the
gain response is increased to permit larger corrections to the variable to be con-
[1.00]
trolled.

The farther outside tolerances the process is, the larger the response action
is to return the process to the tolerance band.

Notes

If the gain is configured too high, the result is excessive overshoot/undershoot

of the desired value.

This parameter is only visible if frequency control (parameter 5507 Äp. 267)
is configured to "PID analog".

5511 Integral gain 2 0.01 to 100.00 The integral gain identifies the I part of the PID controller.

[1.00] The integral gain corrects for any offset (between set point and process vari-
able) automatically over time by shifting the proportioning band. Reset auto-
matically changes the output requirements until the process variable and the
set point are the same.

This parameter permits the user to adjust how quickly the reset attempts to
correct for any offset.

Notes

The integral gain constant must be greater than the derivative time constant.
If the integral gain constant is too large, the engine will continually oscillate.

If the integral gain constant is too small, the engine will take too long to settle
at a steady state.

This parameter is only visible if frequency control (parameter 5507 Äp. 267)
is configured to "PID analog".

[0.01] By increasing this parameter, the stability of the system is increased. The
controller will attempt to slow down the action of the actuator in an attempt to
prevent excessive overshoot or undershoot. Essentially this is the brake for
the process.

This portion of the PID loop operates anywhere within the range of the
process unlike reset.

This parameter is only visible if frequency control (parameter 5507 Äp. 267)

5550 Deadband 1 0.02 to 9.99 Hz Isolated operation

[0.08 Hz] The generator frequency is controlled in such a manner that the measured
frequency does not deviate from the configured set point by more than the
value configured in this parameter without the controller issuing a frequency
raise/lower signal to the frequency control.

This prevents unneeded wear on the frequency bias output control or the
raise/lower relay contacts.

Example

n If the frequency set point is 50 Hz and a deadband of 0.5 Hz is config-

ured, the measured generator frequency must exceed 50.5 Hz (50 + 0.5)
to issue a lower pulse or fall below 49.5 Hz (50 - 0.5) to issue a raise
pulse.

Synchronization

The generator frequency is controlled in such a manner that the measured

frequency does not deviate from the monitored reference (mains or busbar)
frequency by more than the value configured in this parameter without the
controller issuing a frequency raise/lower signal to the frequency control.

This prevents unneeded wear on the frequency bias output control or the
raise/lower relay contacts. The value configured for this parameter must be
less than the value configured for the df max (maximum frequency differen-
tial) for synchronization.

Notes

This parameter is only visible if frequency control (parameter 5507 Äp. 267)
is configured to "3pos controller".

Notes

This parameter is only visible if frequency control (parameter 5507 Äp. 267)

5552 Gain factor 1 0.1 to 10.0 The gain factor Kp influences the operating time of the relays.

[5.0] By increasing the number configured in this parameter, the operating time of
the relay will be in-creased in response to a deviation from the frequency ref-
erence.

By increasing the gain, the response is increased to permit larger corrections

to the variable to be controlled. The farther out of tolerance the process is the
larger the response action is to return the process to the tolerance band.

The farther out of tolerance the process is the larger the response action is to

able) automatically over time by shifting the proportioning band.

Reset automatically changes the output requirements until the process vari-
able and the set point are the same.

This parameter permits the user to adjust how quickly the reset attempts to
correct for any offset.

Notes

4.5.12.3 Derating Of Power

General notes This function is used to decrease the current active power setpoint
linear according to any value offered by the Analog Manager in
mains parallel operation. The unit is capable to derate power e.g.
according to the standards of power electric supply companies.

Function When the LogicsManager “Free derating" (parameter

15146 Äp. 278) becomes TRUE and the analog value exceeds the
value “Start derating at” (parameter 15143 Äp. 278), the unit
begins to reduce the present active power setpoint. The grade of
reducing depends on the value “Stop derating at” (parameter
15144 Äp. 278) and the value of “Max. power deviation” (param-
eter 15145 Äp. 278) which are configurable. If the LogicsManager
"Free derating" becomes FALSE, the unit ramps back to its original
setpoint. If derating is active, the display shows the indication
“Derating”.

Example n Current power setpoint of the generator = 200 kW

n Start derating at = 80 °C water temperature (i.e. analog input 1)
n Stop derating at = 90 °C water temperature
n Max. power deviation = 50 % (100 kW)
If the engine is running, the LogicsManager "Free derating" is
TRUE, the unit monitors the water temperature. If the water tem-
perature remains below the value “Start derating at”, the reduction
becomes not active and remains on 0 %. If the water temperature
exceeds the value “Start derating at” the unit begins to derate the
current active power setpoint. The rate of reduction (slope) is
determined by the values “Start derating at” and “Stop derating at”.
The minimum power is defined by the value “Max. power devia-
tion”. In the following example the power reduction would increase
from 0 % at 80 °C up to 50% = 100 kW at 90 °C. All temperatures
over 90 °C would cause the same reduction of 50 % in this
example. So it is guaranteed that the engine is not running with to
less load.

3pos controller The power factor is controlled using a three-step controller.

Off Power factor control is not carried out.

5613 Proportional 2 0.01 to 100.00 The proportional coefficient specifies the gain. By increasing the gain, the
gain response is increased to permit larger corrections to the variable to be con-
[1.00]
trolled.

The farther out of tolerance the process is the larger the response action is to
return the process to the tolerance band.

Notes

If the gain is configured too high, the result is excessive overshoot/undershoot

of the desired value.

This parameter is only visible if power factor control (param-

eter 5625 Äp. 283) is configured to "PID analog".

5614 Integral gain 2 0.01 to 100.00 The integral gain identifies the I part of the PID controller. The integral gain
corrects for any offset (between set point and process variable) automatically
[1.00]
over time by shifting the proportioning band.

Reset automatically changes the output requirements until the process vari-
able and the set point are the same. This parameter permits the user to adjust
how quickly the reset attempts to correct for any offset. The integral gain con-
stant must be greater than the derivative time constant.

If the integral gain constant is too large, the engine will continually oscillate. If
the integral gain constant is too small, the engine will take too long to settle at
a steady state.

Notes

This parameter is only visible if power factor control (param-

eter 5625 Äp. 283) is configured to "PID analog".

The controller will attempt to slow down the action of the actuator in an
attempt to prevent excessive overshoot or undershoot.

Essentially this is the brake for the process. This portion of the PID loop oper-
ates anywhere within the range of the process unlike reset.

configured power factor set point by more than the value configured in this
parameter without the controller issuing a raise/lower signal to the voltage
regulator.

This prevents unneeded wear on the raise/lower relay contacts.

5662 Gain factor 1 0.1 to 10.0 The gain factor Kp influences the operating time of the relays.

[5.0] By increasing the number configured in this parameter, the operating time of
the relay will be in-creased in response to a deviation from the power factor
reference.

By increasing the gain, the response is increased to permit larger corrections

to the variable to be controlled.

The farther out of tolerance the process is the larger the response action is to
return the process to the tolerance band. If the gain is configured too high, the
result is excessive overshoot/undershoot of the desired value.

4.5.12.6 Load Share Control

The easYgen performs proportional load and/or var sharing. This
means each generator will share the load at the same percentage
level of the generator rated power when paralleled against the
mains, in an isolated operation with multiple generators paralleled,
or when re-synchronizing the common bus to the mains.
Proportional load/var sharing will not be performed when the
easYgen has the GCB closed and is in the constant power/base
load mode. A system can consist out of 32 gensets which are con-
trolled by a single easYgen.

4.5.12.6.1 Mains Parallel Operation With Mains Interchange Real Power Control (Import/Export)
The easYgen controllers maintain the real load level on the individ-
ually controlled generators at a level so that the real power set
point at the mains interchange remains at the configured set point.
The real power set point for the mains interchange must be config-
ured identically for each easYgen.
The easYgen controller communicates with other controls in the
system via a CAN bus. This enables the controllers to adjust the
real power generated by the generator while remaining within the
rated power of the generator. A smaller generator will contribute
less real power as compared to a large generator, but they will
both be utilized to the same capacity factor. An example of this
would be a 100 kW generator with a configured 1000 kW generator
and a mains interchange of 825 kW. The 100 kW generator would
contribute 75 kW and the 1000 kW generator would contribute
750 kW or both generators would be at 75% of their rated capacity.
Reactive load sharing is not performed when operating in parallel
with the mains. The reactive power control will be defined by the
configured power factor set point of the individual controllers. If the
power factor controller set point is configured as +0.950, the
easYgen will proportionally share the real load with all generators
in parallel with the mains while controlling the reactive power at a
0.95 inductive (lagging) power factor regardless of the what power
factor the mains is operating at.
The parameter "Active power Load share factor" (param-
eter 5530 Äp. 291) can be used now to define the priority of the
real power sharing reference variable (real power at interchange).
A higher configured percentage influences the control more
towards maintaining the real power set point for the interchange. A
lower configured percentage influences the control more towards
maintaining real power sharing between units.

The parameter "React. power Load share factor"

(parameter 5630 Äp. 291) has no influence here.

4.5.12.6.2 Isolated Operation In Parallel

The easYgen controllers maintain the voltage and frequency of the
individually controlled generators at a constant level. This makes it
imperative that the voltage and frequency set points are configured
identically for each easYgen.

37528 easYgen-3400/3500 | Genset Control 287

Configuration
Configure Application > Configure Controller > Load Share Control

The easYgen controller communicates with other controls in the

system via a CAN bus. This enables the controllers to adjust the
real power generated by the generator while remaining within the
rated power of the generator. A smaller generator will contribute
less real power as compared to a large generator, but they will
both be utilized to the same capacity factor.

Example An example of this would be a 100 kW generator and a 1000 kW

generator with an 825 kW load. The 100 kW generator would con-
tribute 75 kW and the 1000 kW generator would contribute
750 kW or both generators would be at 75% of their rated
capacity.

The reactive power will be shared proportionally among all genera-

tors involved.
The parameter "Active power Load share factor" (param-
eter 5530 Äp. 291) can be used to define the priority of the refer-
ence variable for real power sharing. A higher configured per-
centage influences the control more towards frequency control. A
lower configured percentage influences the control more towards
real power sharing.
The parameter "React. power Load share factor" (param-
eter 5630 Äp. 291) can be used now to define the priority of the
reference variable for reactive power sharing. A higher configured
percentage influences the control more towards voltage control. A
lower configured percentage influences the control more towards
reactive power sharing.

4.5.12.6.3 Re-synchronization Of The Busbar To The Mains

The system is operating as an isolated system, for synchronization
to be performed the voltage and frequency differentials of the
mains and bus must be within the configured windows.
The bus frequency reference point is dictated by the measured
mains frequency and the configured frequency differential (+ slip
frequency setpoint offset (parameter 5502 Äp. 271).

Example If + slip frequency setpoint offset = 0.2 Hz, the easYgen will calcu-
late the bus frequency reference point as:
n [measured mains frequency] + [slip frequency setpoint
offset] = bus frequency reference point

A practical example of this would be:

n The monitored mains frequency is 60 Hz
n Configured + slip frequency setpoint offset = 0.2 Hz
n [60 Hz] + [0.2Hz] = 60.2 Hz bus frequency reference point

The differential voltage is configured as a window. The monitored

voltage from the potential transformers secondary for the mains
and the bus must be within the configured voltage differential limit
in relation to the rated voltage configuration.
This means that the voltage window dV [%] is in relation to the
rated voltage configuration [%].
When the monitored bus frequency and voltage are within the con-
figured differential limits, the "Command: close MCB" relay will
enable, closing the MCB, and the system will be paralleled to the
mains.

4.5.12.6.4 Prerequisites
All easYgen controllers connected to the system must have rated
system frequencies and breaker logic configured identically and
the parameter "Active power load share" (param-
eter 5531 Äp. 291) or "Reactive power load share" (param-
eter 5631 Äp. 291) must be enabled.

4.5.12.6.5 Load-Share Interface

The easYgen utilizes a peer relationship between units to control
the system. This permits for parallel applications of up to 32 gener-
ators.

Refer to Ä Chapter 3.4 ‘CAN Bus Interfaces’

on page 71 for information about the CAN bus connec-
tion.

4.5.12.6.6 Load/Var Sharing Via The CAN Bus

The parameter "Active load sharing factor" determines if and how a
generator performs real power or frequency control when paral-
leled with other generators in an isolated operation. This parameter
is defined as a percentage.
In the figure below (Fig. 89) 10 % means increased real power
control and 99 % increased frequency control. This parameter
must be configured individually for each generator.
In the illustrated control system, it must be noted that each control
calculates the mean utilization factor of all controls from the data
transmitted via the CAN bus and then compares this with its own
utilization factor. The utilization factor is compared with the refer-
ence variable and results in a new reference variable set point.
Frequency and real power control are carried out simultaneously in
these controls (corresponding to the reference variable).
Frequency control is carried out via the measured voltage/fre-
quency of the voltage system. The MPU is used merely for moni-
toring functions, or is available as a control value to the secondary
controller.

4.5.12.6.8 Load Share Control Grouping

Load sharing with several gensets is possible for a supply of a
maximum of four split busbars. A group breakers splits the busbar
in a way that some gensets supply one busbar and some supply
another one. However, it is necessary to group the gensets, which
supply the same busbar, into segments.
The configured segment number can be changed to one of three
alternative segment numbers. The LogicsManager is used to
implement this.

Example Six gensets (G1 through G6) supply a system with two group
breakers (A, B) as shown in . All gensets have the same segment
number configured #1 (parameter 1723 Äp. 292)
Case - Group breakers A and B are closed and G1 through
I G6 supply the same busbar. The same segment
number is configured to each genset since all gen-
sets supply the same busbar.
Case - Group breaker A is closed and group breaker B is
II open (G1 through G4 supply a different busbar than
G5 and G6). A different segment number must be
selected for G5 and G6 by enabling the LogicsMan-
ager function "Segment no.2 act" (parameter ) in
order to change the segment number of G5 and G6
to #2.
Case - Group breakers A and B are open (G1 and G2, G3
III and G4, as well as G5 and G6 supply different bus-
bars).
A different segment number must be selected for G3

With this, the segment number of G3 and G4 is

4.5.12.7 PID {x} Control

General notes The easYgen provides three additional freely configurable PID con-
trollers. These controllers are intended and optimized for slow pro-
cesses, like temperature control for heating systems (CHPO appli-
cations). The controller can either operate as a PID analog
controller or a three-position controller.

5572 Proportional 2 0.001 to 65.000 The proportional coefficient specifies the gain. By increasing the gain, the
gain response is increased to permit larger corrections to the variable to be con-
5585 [1.000]
trolled.
5671
The farther out of tolerance the process is the larger the response action is to
return the process to the tolerance band. If the gain is configured too high, the
result is excessive overshoot/undershoot of the desired value.

5573 Integral gain 2 0.010 to 10.000 The integral gain identifies the I part of the PID controller. The integral gain
corrects for any offset (between set point and process variable) automatically
5586 [0.100]
over time by shifting the proportioning band.
5672
The integral gain automatically changes the output signal until the process
variable and the set point are the same. The integral gain constant must be
greater than the derivative time constant.

If the integral gain constant is too large, the engine will continually oscillate. If
the integral gain constant is too small, the engine will take too long to settle at
a steady state.

5574 Derivative ratio 2 0.001 to 10.000 The derivative ratio identifies the D part of the PID controller. By increasing
this parameter, the stability of the system is increased. The controller will
5587 [0.001]
attempt to slow down the action of the actuator in an attempt to prevent
5673 excessive overshoot or undershoot. Essentially this is the brake for the
process.

5575 Time pulse 1 0.01 to 2.00 s A minimum pulse on time must be configured here. The shortest possible
minimum pulse time should be configured, but the actuator should still react safe, to
5588 [0.05 s]
limit overshoot of the desired speed reference point. (Only three-position con-
5674 troller)

5576 Deadband 1 0 to 32000 Shows the adjust range around the setpoint value when no displace impulse
is issued. This avoids an unnecessary abrasion of relay contacts for higher/

5692 Actuator run 2 0.1 to 999.0 s The actuator run time is configured here. This is the time the actuator needs
time to move from fully closed to fully open. This information is necessary because
5693 [30.0 s]
the controller does not receive a feedback of the actuator position and needs
5694 this value to calculate the desired actuator position.

5734 PID{x} control 1 0 to 32000 The PI band is configured here to encounter excessive overshoot of the
PI band process value when starting up. The PI band defines the range around the set
5735 [2000]
point, in which the I portion of the PID controller is active.
5736
If the actual value is outside of this band, the I portion is reduced to a min-
imum value. The PI band is not that important for three-position controllers
and should be disabled by entering a high value (e.g. default value).

5737 PID{x} control 2 1 to 32000 The different set point values are supplied to the controller via this ramp to
set point ramp prevent an overshoot of the process value when enabling the controller.
5738 [10]
The slope of the ramp is used to alter the rate at which the controller modifies
5739
the set point value. The faster the change in the set point is to be carried out,
the greater the value entered here must be.

5740 Value format 2 user-defined (1 If a sign to denote a negative measured value (i.e. –10) is required, then the

The displayed value should be configured with the same number of digits as

4.5.12.8 Discrete Raise/Low/Function

General notes The frequency / load and voltage / reactive power set points may
be raised and lowered using the LogicsManager functionality, i.e. it
is possible to use LogicsManager command variables to raise and
lower these set points. Most commonly a button may be used to
energize a discrete input on the control, which is used again as a
LogicsManager command variable to enable the respective Logi-
csManager function to change the set point.
The discrete raise/lower function always uses the actual value at
the time when this function is enabled for the respective controller
set point as initial value. If the actual value is negative at this point
in time, the initial value is zero.
Frequency and voltage may be adjusted within the configured
operating limits (Ä Chapter 4.4.1.1 ‘ Generator Operating Voltage /
Frequency’ on page 97). Active power may be adjusted between 0
and the configured load control setpoint maximum (param-
eter 5523 Äp. 276). The power factor may be adjusted between
0.71 leading and 0.71 lagging.

This address number may only be used once on the CAN bus. All additional
addresses are calculated based on this unique device number.

Note

We recommend to configure the Node-IDs for units, which participate in load

sharing, as low as possible to facilitate establishing of communication.

8993 CANopen 2 One bus participant must take over the network management and put the
Master other participants into "operational" mode. The easYgen is able to perform
this task.

[Default The unit starts up in "operational" mode and sends a "Start_Remote_node"

Master] message after a short delay (the delay is the Node ID (param-
eter 8950 Äp. 298) in seconds, i.e. if the Node ID is configured to 2, the mes-
sage will be sent after 2 seconds). If more than one easYgen is configured to
Default Master, the unit with the lower Node ID will take over control. There-
fore, the CAN bus devices, which are intended to act as Default Master
should be assigned a low Node ID. No other device on the CAN bus (except
the easYgens) may operate as Master).

On The unit is the CANopen Master and automatically changes into operational
mode and transmits data.

Off The unit is a CANopen Slave. An external Master must change into opera-
tional mode.

Notes

If this parameter is configured to "Off", the Master controller (for example a

PLC) must send a "Start_Remote_node" message to initiate the load share
message transmission of the easYgen.

If no "Start_Remote_node" message would be sent, the complete system

would not be operational.

9120 Producer 2 0 to 65500 ms Independent from the CANopen Master configuration, the unit transmits a
heartbeat time heartbeat message with this configured heartbeat cycle time.
[2000 ms]
If the producer heartbeat time is equal 0, the heartbeat will only be sent as
response to a remote frame request. The time configured here will be
rounded up to the next 20 ms step.

Speed offset

(S6 Scania, EMS2 Volvo, EGS Woodward, Cummins)

The easYgen sends a speed offset with a range of 0 to 100% (every 20 ms).
50% = rated speed.

There is also an internal speed offset configured in the ECU, this parameter
determines what corresponds with 0% or 100%. If there is a positive and a
negative speed offset, they should be symmetrical in the ECU.

We recommend to have the same speed offset configured in the ECU and in
this parameter here. A different setting will result in an additional "controller
gain".

How to test this parameter during commissioning:

Isolated operation

Disable the frequency controller and change parameter 5508 Äp. 272 for the
initial state between 0 and 100%, the engine should change the speed as fol-
lows:

n 0 = rated speed – negative speed offset from ECU

n 50 = rated speed
n 100 = rated speed + positive speed offset from ECU

Mains parallel operation

Check with the set point in the display if the engine is able to deliver the full
power.

Speed set point

(EMR2 Deutz, ADEC MTU, EGS Woodward, EEM SISU, Standard)

The easYgen sends a speed set point in rpm (every 10 ms) that varies
around the rated speed in the range of +/- the speed deviation.

How to test this parameter during commissioning:

Isolated operation

Disable the frequency controller and change parameter 5508 Äp. 272 for the
initial state between 0 and 100%, the engine should change the speed as fol-
lows:

n 0 = rated speed – speed deviation ECU

e.g.: 1,500 – 120 = 1,380 rpm
n 50 = rated speed
e.g.: = 1,500 rpm
n 100 = rated speed + speed deviation ECU
e.g.: 1,500 + 120 = 1,620 rpm

Mains parallel operation

Check with the set point in the display if the engine is able to deliver the full
power.

Keep this value as small as possible, i.e. do not enter a speed deviation of
500, if the engine varies only between 1,400 and 1,600 rpm.

Notes

The Wodward EGS ECU supports both types of speed deviation control and
may be configured either to "Speed offset" or "Speed set point".

8952 Node-ID CAN- 2 1 to 127 (dec) A number that is unique to the control must be set in this parameter so that
Bus 3 this control unit can be correctly identified on the CAN bus.
[2]
This address number may only be used once on the CAN bus. All additional
addresses are calculated based on this unique device number.

Note

We recommend to configure the Node-IDs for units, which participate in load

sharing, as low as possible to facilitate establishing of communication.

8995 CANopen 2 One bus participant must take over the network management and put the
Master other participants into "operational" mode. The easYgen is able to perform
this task.

[Default The unit starts up in "operational" mode and sends a "Start_Remote_node"

Master] message after a short delay (the delay is the Node ID (param-
eter 8952 Äp. 313) in seconds, i.e. if the Node ID is configured to 2, the mes-
sage will be sent after 2 seconds). If more than one easYgen is configured to
Default Master, the unit with the lower Node ID will take over control. There-
fore, the CAN bus devices, which are intended to act as Default Master
should be assigned a low Node ID. No other device on the CAN bus (except
the easYgens) may operate as Master).

On The unit is the CANopen Master and automatically changes into operational
mode and transmits data.

Off The unit is a CANopen Slave. An external Master must change into opera-
tional mode.

Notes

If this parameter is configured to "Off", the Master controller (for example a

PLC) must send a "Start_Remote_node" message to initiate the load share
message transmission of the easYgen.

4.6.8 Modem (Active Call Function)

General notes The easYgen is equipped with a functionality to send ASCII strings
to serial coupled modems. Through this capability the easYgen is
able, depending on the modem, to actively initiate e-mails, fax and
SMS messages.

Basic functionalities n Three independent trigger units with

– Independent phone numbers
– Independent messages
n Can be activated by LogicsManager
n Dial repeat when unsuccessful
n Chain phone calls (dialing another number if one call failed)
Every individual phone-unit has a couple of individual parameters.
There are three text strings, when the unit is activated, which are
sent out in fixed sequence.
A \0 character terminates a string, however, the \0 is not sent.

Call units The easYgen offers three call units to send out strings via a serial
coupled modem.
This function offers a lot of possibilities, which strongly depend on
the application.

Examples n Call unit 1 can send an e-mail to a given mail address to

inform about the current operating hours. This would be reg-
ular information.
n Call unit 2 can initiate a new upcoming alarm class with the
text of the last active alarm as SMS message.
n Call unit 3 can send an SMS message later to an alternative
mobile number.

Symbolic commands and escape Strings can hold symbolic commands. These are sub-commands in
sequences a defined format which will be replaced when sending out data.
They are preceded by an & followed by command characters.
Escape sequences always start with a & character, followed by
specific command strings. Some are replaced by the easYgen with
dedicated replacement strings. Some others are used for flow con-
trol purposes. Unrecognized sequences will be replaced by empty
strings.

Name Command Comment

Literal & && Writes a &.

Pause &p Forces a pause of 2 seconds.

Long pause &P Forces a pause of 30 seconds.

Empty buffer &! Empties the receive buffer.

Limit data length &lxxx; Limits the number of bytes sent out to the value xxx. This is to accommodate
to some modem types with a limited buffer size. If for example an alarm list
shall be sent with a &A command, it´s length could be larger than the modem
can handle. If this command is not defined, the limit will be the default value,
700.

Serial number &s Writes serial number of the device.

Item number &i Writes item number and revision of the device.

Carriage return &c Produces a "carriage return"-character (13).

Newline &n Produces a line break consisting of CR(13) followed by a LF(10).

Control-z &z Produces a ctrl-z-character (26). This is required as last character of a GSM
message.

Check answer &?xxxx; Compare the string in the receive buffer with the expected answer xxxx and
aborts sending with a failure if they are not the same.

Last alarm &e Writes last error on screen as text.

Last alarm time stamp &E Writes the time stamp (date and time) of last active error.

Alarm list &A Writes the content of the alarm list as a list of texts with time stamp (date and
time).

Alarm list without time &a Writes the content of the alarm list as a list of texts.
stamp

Database description &Dxxxx; Writes the description of a database value with the index “xxxx”. For example
the sequence “&D135” will produce the text “Gen. Total power”.

Database value &vxxxx; Writes the content of a database value with the index xxxx. Only numeric
values are displayed. For example the sequence &v135 will display the current
total power as xxxx.xx kw.

Time &t Writes actual time.

Date &d Writes actual date.

The control unit can open and close the GCB. The CAN connected
LS-5 system operates all other breakers in the system. The appli-
cation can be an isolated operation or a parallel to mains opera-
tion. The LS-5 system runs independent on the easYgen (applica-
tion mode “LS5”). The mains protection (mains decoupling) is
executed by the LS-5 at the interchange point(s).
The Emergency mode (AMF operation) is supported and depends
on configured segments which are monitored for “out of operating
range”. The LS-5 at the interchange point can provide the easYgen
with active power and reactive power measurement.

Configuration example The following example describes the configuration of a typical

mains parallel operation with import/export power control at the
interchange point and load-dependent start/stop.
Multiple generators are to be operated in parallel to the mains
maintaining a stable power at the interchange point. The genera-
tors shall be started depending on the momentary load at the plant.
An emergency operation in case of a mains failure is also intended.
The load dependent start/stop function (LDSS) shall be enabled
with a remote start request and during emergency operation. LDSS
shall depend on the reserve power on the busbar. In case of a
dead busbar (caused by a mains failure) all capable generators
shall be started and operated with their minimum running time.
No generator priority is considered. Generator selection shall be
performed depending on the operating hours.
The following assumptions are valid for the example:
n 3 generators, each with 80 kW rated power, are available.
n The recommended minimum load for the generators is 40 kW.
n The minimum running time is 180 s.

6.4 Special Applications

6.4.1 Generator Excitation Protection
The easYgen controller provides the user with power factor moni-
toring. These monitoring functions permit for protection of the gen-
erator over- and under-excitation. The power factor monitoring con-
sists of a warning alarm and/or a shutdown alarm when enabled.
An alarm and the specified action will be initiated if the monitored
power factor surpasses the defined limits. Typically the generator
is monitored for loss of excitation and/or over excitation in a mains
parallel application.
When a generator plant is paralleled against a utility, it is possible
to control the power factor at a desired reference. When the plant
is operated in an island mode or isolated parallel application, it is
not possible to control the power factor. The load will dictate what
the power factor is due to the reactive nature of the load.

Fig. 141: Example - generator excitation protection

Fig. 141 shows a typical power factor (generator excitation) protec-
tion range, where the desired range of operation (green area) is
from 0.7 lagging (capacitive) to 0.8 leading (inductive).
When the power factor exceeds either of these limits by entering
the yellow shaded areas starting at 0.7 lagging or 0.8 leading for
more than 30 seconds, a class B warning alarm is initiated.

If the power factor exceeds the desired range further and enters
the red shaded areas starting at 0.5 lagging or 0.6 leading for 1
second, a class E alarm is initiated and the generator is shut down.

Configuration
In order to achieve the described protection, the power factor
monitoring parameters (Ä Chapter 4.4.1.15 ‘Generator Lag-

6.4.3 Creating Self-Toggling (Pulsing) Relays

This function is set up with the LogicsManager.

This is a simple example of a relay output that toggles from ener-

gized to de-energized in automatic mode with adjustable on and off
time.
This pulsing relay may be combined with a flexible limit, which can
be programmed with a function like low battery voltage to get a
blinking warning light.
n Relay 2 is the discrete output [DO 2] and Flag 5 is used as an
auxiliary flag.

AUTOMATIC
The LogicsManager function "Operat. mode AUTO" (param-
eter 12510 Äp. 245) can be configured as shown in
(Fig. 153).
ð AUTOMATIC operation mode is always enabled.

If an alarm of alarm class C through F occurs in AUTOMATIC

Fig. 153: LogicsManager function operating mode, the control does not return to STOP operating
"Operat. mode AUTO" mode if the alarm is cleared after acknowledgement and a restart
is initiated.
It is also possible to configure a discrete input for controlling the

6.4.5.2 Setting Up A Test With Or Without Load

There are a lot of different opinions of the behavior of a proper test
mode. The easYgen controller is supporting the following two
modes:
n Test with load
n Test without load

Both modes work only in automatic mode. The correct

test mode depends on your local specifications.

Test With Load This is the LogicsManager function "Start req. in AUTO" (param-
eter 12120 Äp. 244). No special message appears on the display.
If the mains fail during start in auto, the unit keeps running until the
mains return and the mains settling time is expired or the condi-
tions for "Start req. in AUTO" are FALSE again. The result
depends on which condition is active longer.

396 easYgen-3400/3500 | Genset Control 37528

 Application
Special Applications > Performing Remote Start/St... > Remote Start/Stop And Ackn...

Test Without Load This is the LogicsManager function "Start w/o load" (param-
eter 12540 Äp. 245). If the conditions for this LogicsManager func-
tion are TRUE, the engine will provide an automatic starting
sequence and keep the generator running until this function is
FALSE again.
Then the unit will perform an automatic stop sequence and remain
in standby in auto mode.
The message "Start w/o load" is displayed during the test without
load. If the mains fails during test without load and the emergency
mode is enabled, the unit will take over the load.
The unit will open the MCB and close the GCB. When the mains
return, it will transfer the load back to the mains according to the
configured breaker transition mode after the mains settling timer
has expired. The engine will keep running until the conditions for
"Start w/o load" are FALSE again.

Example for test without load The engine shall start once a month and run for one hour without
overtaking the load. The test day shall be every fifteenth of a
month (with flag 2). A relay output can be configured to indicate if
this test is running, e.g. for a signal lamp.
1. Configure the parameters listed below to set up the timer.

ð With this setting, the "Ext. acknowledge" LogicsManager
output becomes TRUE as soon as the remote acknowl-
edge signal is enabled.

Fig. 159: LogicsManager function

"Ext. acknowledge" The LogicsManager commands 2 and 3 may be used

Please refer to Ä Chapter 6.6 ‘Modbus Applications’ on page 456

for a description of how to configure the LogicsManager functions
via Modbus.

All interfaces access the same bits. The command var-

iable "04.13 Remote request" remains enabled in the
easYgen until a new command is sent or the power
supply failed or is removed.

Remote start:
n The command variable "04.13 Remote request" changes to "1"
(high) if the start bit (ID 503, bit 0) changes from "0" to "1".
n The command variable "04.13 Remote request" changes to "0"
(low) if the stop bit (ID 503, bit 1) changes from "0" to "1"
(Fig. 160).

 Application
Special Applications > Performing Remote Start/St... > Remote Start/Stop And Ackn...

Acknowledgement:
n The command variable "04.14 Remote acknowledge" reflects
the acknowledgement bit (ID 503, bit 4).
n An acknowledgement is generally performed twice:
– 1st change of the logical output "External acknowledge"
from "0" to "1":
Silence horn
– 2nd change of the logical output "External acknowledge"
from "0" to "1":
Acknowledges all inactive alarms

System reaction
The easYgen does NOT react on the disabling of the
start bit, but only on the enabling of the stop bit.
This has the advantage that it is not required to main-
tain the connection established for the whole time in
case of a remote start.

The following figure shows the reaction of the command variable

on the various changes of the bits:

Fig. 160: Command variable

Enabling the bits may be performed with the following methods:
n Bit Enabling via Modbus Protocol and RS-485 Interface
n Bit Enabling via CANopen Protocol and CAN Interface 1

Bit Enabling via Modbus Protocol The parameter Modbus Slave ID must be configured.
and RS-485 Interface
The control bits are sent on address 503 for a start via Modbus:
n Bit 0: Start
n Bit 1: Stop
n Bit 4: Acknowledgement
n Bits 2 and 3: must be "0" (for the watchdog).

Special Applications > Connecting A GSM Modem

It is possible to establish a cellular connection to the system using

a GSM modem. This application is intended for mobile use. It is
also interesting to trigger a call in case of an alarm with this appli-
cation. The GSM modem provides a discrete input for this, which
can trigger e.g. a short message (SMS).
Depending on the network provider, it can also be possible to send
a fax message).
Different actions can be performed 'online' using the ToolKit appli-
cation software, which is delivered on the CD-ROM with the con-
trol.

These actions include:

n Configuration
n Visualization
n Transfer settings to and from the hard drive

Prerequisites for this example n Straight serial cable for connecting the easYgen with the GSM
modem
n Wireless modem INSYS GSM 4.2 with antenna (http://
www.insys-tec.de)
n SIM card with data transfer enabled (to be enabled by the GSM
provider)
n PC with Windows 2000, XP or Vista operating system with
modem (we recommend to use the Windows standard driver
for older modems (e.g. ELSA Microlink 56k) if the dedicated
driver does not work)
n Configuration software ToolKit version 2.2 or higher
n Configuration files available (*.sid, *.wtool)
n FAX/SMS receiver for receiving alarm messages

If a SIM card is used, which is enabled to send SMS

messages, an SMS can be sent by the GSM modem.
To establish a data connection, data transfer has to be
enabled by the network provider.

The INSYS GSM Modem 4.2 has two discrete inputs,

which can be used to send two different alarm mes-
sages.
One relay of the easYgen is required for each alarm
message.

The dispatch of an alarm message is performed by the

modem after energizing a discrete input.
If a different modem is used, this has to accept
incoming calls automatically and establish a connec-
tion between calling PC and easYgen.

Connection It is possible to issue an active call in case of a malfunction using a

relay of the relay manager.

6.4.13 Run-Up Synchronization

The generators are paralleled together by closing their circuit
breakers during the engine start sequence. Then after a certain
speed is achieved the voltage regulators are enabled and the gen-
erators will produce voltage. The run-up synchronization method is
used to get several synchronous generators onto load in a very
short time. This time is determined by the engine start time and the
AVR on-excitation.
Another application for using run-up synchronization is the excita-
tion of power transformers. In some cases the in-rush current of a
transformer may be more than one generator can supply when
closing the live generator to the dead transformer. Using this run-
up synchronization method allows the generator and transformer to
build up voltage gradually through the start without the large in-
rush.

General notes n The run-up synchronization is generally released by configura-

tion.
n The run-up synchronization is supported in dedicated applica-
tion Modes and breaker transition modes.
n To get the run-up synchronization procedure active the Logi-
csManager "Run-up Synchronization" has to be set on TRUE.
n When run-up synchronization is enabled the easYgen evalu-
ates before each start an open connection to mains. For the
case the generator would be connected to mains during run-up
synchronization the unit would automatically open the connec-
tion to mains before start.
n The run-up synchronization requires an rpm speed source.
(MPU or J1939)
n With enabling the run-up synchronization the command vari-
able 03.24 "Excitation AVR" is usable. The activation can be
checked in the online diagram.

422 easYgen-3400/3500 | Genset Control 37528

 Application
Special Applications > Run-Up Synchronization

n The excitation can be simultaneous or individual. The simulta-

neous excitation can reduce the cross currents between gener-
ators in some critical situations.
n The run-up synchronization can be executed in two modes:
– Mode GCB: With starting the engines the GCB will be
closed.
– Mode GCB/GGB: With starting the engines the GCB and
GGB will be closed.

Example applications The run-up synchronization can be applied in different applications.

The following figures show some examples.

n The MPU input is enabled
n The operating mode AUTOMATIC is active AND
n The LogicsManager “Run-up synchronization” is energized

n The LogicsManager „Run-up synchronization“ is not TRUE OR
n A shutdown failure (alarm class C, D, E or F) is active OR
n An engine start command is not active OR
n The „Generator Group Breaker is closed” AND the run-up syn-
chronization mode does not allow this

Behavior of the biasing signals During the run-up synchronization the frequency controller, the
voltage controller and the load sharing are disabled. To avoid a
reverse power condition shortly after activation of the excitation,
the biasing signals of the easYgen will behave with a droop (static)
curve.
The droop settings for the frequency f (parameter 5504 Äp. 271)
and voltage v (parameter 5604 Äp. 282) are used for this calcula-
tion.
The initial state frequency decreases as active power increases
according to this formula:
n Initial State Frequency Deviation = Initial State Fre-
quency*Active Power [%]*Droop f [%]
The initial state voltage decreases as reactive power increases
according to this formula:

6.4.13.3 Parameter Information

The “Minimum speed for close The GCB (GGB) will be closed from the beginning on during the
GCB” (parameter 3435) is 0 rpm: run-up synchronization start. The advantage of this solution is a
clear defined start condition for all participating engines. It is rec-
ommended for cases where all gensets are needed for the run-up
synchronization and no reserve genset is available.

The “Minimum speed for close The GCB (GGB) will be closed, when the starter has turned the
GCB” (parameter 3435) is higher crankshaft successfully. The level is usually set between 100 rpm
than 0 rpm: and under the firing speed level (450 rpm). The advantage of this
solution is to save time during the run-up procedure, if more gen-
sets are started as needed. It is recommended for cases where
more gensets are available as needed for the run-up synchroniza-
tion.

432 easYgen-3400/3500 | Genset Control 37528

 Application
Special Applications > Run-Up Synchronization > Commissioning Checklist

The “Speed for excitation” (param- If the engine reaches the speed for excitation the excitation output
eter 3437): will be issued. The speed for excitation must be higher than the
firing speed of the engine to make sure the start will be successful.

The “Simultaneous excitation” If the simultaneous excitation is enabled, all participating units,
(parameter 3442): which match the speed limit for excitation will issue their excitation
command to the AVRs at the same time.
If the simultaneous excitation is disabled, all participating units,
which match the speed limit for excitation will issue their excitation
command to the AVRs independent of their neighbors.
The advantage of a simultaneous excitation is to minimize cross
currents between the generators during the run-up synchroniza-
tion. The disadvantage of a simultaneous excitation is the demand
of a little bit more time until all units are available for excitation.
The simultaneous excitation makes sense, when high cross cur-
rents are expected between the generators during run-up synchro-
nization.

The “Time of participation” (param- The time of participation is the maximum time an engine is
eter 3438): accepted during the common run-up synchronization. When the
time is over, the single unit interrupts the run-up synchronization
and opens the GCB (GGB).
Recommendation:
n The time of participation should be never longer than the
starter time (parameter 3306 Äp. 235)
n The time of participation should be long enough that the
engines can reach their speed for excitation in that time band

The “Engine monitoring delay The Engine monitoring delay time is also used in the run-up syn-
time” (parameter 3315): chronization. There is a time to wait between activate the excitation
and monitoring the voltage and frequency. Usually the closing of a
GGB shall only be executed, when the monitoring delay time is
expired. In some cases like emergency run this time can be
bypassed to get the GGB faster closed.

6.4.13.4 Commissioning Checklist

The following checklist is guideline to commission the run-up syn-
chronization mode.
n Choose the right application mode according to your applica-
tion. Note that the feedback of the GCB, GGB and MCB is
always used according to the chosen application mode. The
“Enable MCB" LogicsManager must be considered in case of
running mains parallel.
n Choose in case of the application mode GCB/MCB or GCB/
GGB/MCB the desired transition mode.
n Check at first all breaker feedbacks.
n In case of a GCB/MCB , GCB/GGB/MCB , GCB/L-MCB
, GCB/GGB/L-MCB or GCB/L-GGB/L-MCB applica-
tion mode it is recommended to use the optional voltage relay
discrete input. Check the voltage relay input (dead load busbar
shall energize the input).
n Make sure that your emergency stop button works.

37528 easYgen-3400/3500 | Genset Control 433

Application
CANopen Applications > Remote Control > Remote Start/Stop And Ackn...

n Before trying any run-up synchronization function, check each

unit with a normal start by setting FALSE the LogicsManager
“Run-up synchronization”.
n Do a single start (without run-up synchronization) for each
engine to check:
– Starter
– Solenoid valve
– MPU input (speed)
– Excitation command
– Generator voltage measurement
– Optional voltage relay input
– Busbar voltage measurement
– Mains voltage measurement (depending on application
mode)
– Generator breaker control
– Generator group breaker control (depending on application
mode)
– Mains breaker control (depending on application mode)
n Check the synchronization of GCB, GGB and MCB by each
unit with single runs.
n Check the frequency, voltage, active power and power factor
control by each unit with single runs.
n Check the load share function with all units.
n Check the CAN communication between the single easYgens.
Make sure that each unit has its own device identifier and an
own node ID (usually ID 1, 2, 3 etc. and node identifier 1, 2, 3
etc.). The sequencing window gives you an overview.
n Before you begin with the run-up synchronization make sure,
that the physical connection to mains is really open. Later on, if
the easYgen shall open the MCB check this again.
n Before you do the first tries with run-up synchronization read
this manual and especially the chapter describing your espe-
cially application.
n Consider, if you like a GCB closed before issue the crank com-
mand (parameter 3437 Äp. 225 is set to 0) or after the engine
crank shaft is definitely turning ( parameter 3437 Äp. 225 > 0).
n Consider, if you like simultaneously excitation (parameter
3442 Äp. 225 = On] or not. Simultaneously excitation
sequence is a little bit longer but can avoid reverse power on
the engines, if they very differently come on speed.
n Consider the time of participation (parameter 3438 Äp. 225),
because the time determines, when a member will be removed
from the others to continue with a normal start.

6.5.1.7 Remotely Changing The Setpoint

It is possible to remotely change a setpoint value via the CANopen
protocol using the parameter 504 Äp. 460. In order to use the Log-
icsManager command variables for example to enable the second
set, different bits of parameter 504 must be enabled:
n 04.37 Remote voltage setpoint 2 - bit 4 - 10 00 (hex) must be
sent to parameter 504
n 04.38 Remote frequency setpoint 2 - bit 5 - 20 00 (hex) must
be sent to parameter 504
n 04.39 Remote Power Factor setpoint 2 - bit 6 - 30 00 (hex)
must be sent to parameter 504
n 04.40 Remote power setpoint 2 - bit 7 - 80 00 (hex) must be
sent to parameter 504

For remotely changing the control setpoints, it is nec-

essary to use the interface setpoints instead of the
internal setpoints as data source in the respective con-
troller.
For example, use data source "05.03 Interface
freq.setp." in parameter 5518 Äp. 269 (Freq. setpoint
1 source) to transmit a frequency setpoint via interface.

Two different methods for changing a setpoint via CANopen are

detailed below.
These are "Changing a setpoint via RPDO" and "Changing a set-
point via default SDO communication channel". The advantages
and the disadvantages of these two methods are as follows.

6.6.1.2 Setpoint Setting

For a remote setting of the control setpoints, it is necessary to use
the interface setpoints instead of the internal setpoints.
For example, use data source "05.06 Interface pwr. setp." in
parameter 5539 Äp. 274 (Load setpoint 1 source) to transmit a
load setpoint via interface.
Fig. 210: Setpoint source configura- No password is required to write this value. shows an exemplary
tion configuration of the load setpoint 1 source. All other setpoint
sources are configured accordingly.
The interface setpoints may be set using the objects for active
power, power factor, frequency, and voltage (refer to Ä Chapter
9.2.4 ‘Additional Data Identifier’ on page 609 for detailed informa-
tion).

Interfaces And Protocols
CANopen Protocol

7.4 CANopen Protocol

CANopen is a communication protocol and device profile specifica-
tion for embedded systems used in automation. The CANopen
standard consists of an addressing scheme, several small commu-
nication protocols and an application layer defined by a device pro-
file. The communication protocols have support for network man-
agement, device monitoring and communication between nodes,
including a simple transport layer for message segmentation/
desegmentation.

Protocol description If a data protocol is used, a CAN message looks like this:

Byte 1 Byte 2 Byte 3 Byte 4 Byte 5 Byte 6 Byte 7 Byte 8

MUX Data byte Data byte Data byte Data byte Data byte Data byte Internal

The MUX byte is counted up, the meaning of the data byte
changes according to the value of the MUX byte.
In the protocol tables is listed which parameter at which MUX on
which position is transmitted. The meaning of the parameter can
be taken by means of the number of the parameter description
("CANopen Mapping parameter").

Example

MUX Byte 2 Byte 3 Byte 4 Byte 5 Byte 6 Byte 7 Byte 8

1 118 147 Internal

In MUX 1 (byte 1 has got value 1) the value of parameter 118 is

included in the byte 2 up to byte 5 (mains voltage 1-2). In byte 6
up to byte 7 the value of parameter 147 is included (mains fre-
quency). Byte 8 includes internal definitions and can be ignored.

Data format "Unsigned Integer" UNSIGNED type data has positive integers as values. The range is
between 0 and 2n-1. The data is shown by the bit sequence of
length n.
n Bit sequence:
b = b0 to bn-1
n Value shown:
UNSIGNEDn(b) = bn-1 * 2n-1 + ... + b1 * 21 + b0 * 20

Please note that the bit sequence starts on the left with
the least significant byte.
Example: Value 266 = 10A hex of type UNSIGNED16
is transmitted on the bus in two octets, first 0A hex and
then 01 hex.

7.5 J1939 Protocol

The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) developed the J1939
standard to be the preferred CAN for equipment used in industries
ranging from agriculture, construction, and fire/rescue to forestry,
materials handling as well as on and off-highway vehicles.
It is a high-level protocol that defines how communication between
nodes (modules) occurs on the bus. The J1939 network is a spe-
cific communication system, supporting specific sets of applica-
tions and a specific industry, rather than being generalized.

7.5.1 Displayed Messages

Messages of a device (for example an ECU) are received on the
CAN bus according to J1939 protocol and are shown on the dis-
play. This function can be used via the CAN interface parallel to
the CANopen protocol or to ToolKit. The baud rate is similar for all
devices connected to the CAN bus independent of the selected
protocol.

Diagnostic trouble codes (DM1/ The first 10 active alarm messages (Active Diagnostic Trouble
DM2) Codes - DM1) and the first 10 unacknowledged alarm messages
(Previously Active Diagnostic Trouble Codes - DM2) with SPN,
FMI, and OC are displayed.
The state of the lamps (amber/red) is always displayed.
n SPN (= Suspect Parameter Number) indicates the measuring
value that the alarm code is referring (e.g. SPN = 100 corre-
sponds to oil pressure).
n FMI (= Failure Mode Indicator) specifies the alarm more pre-
cisely (e.g. FMI = 3 means: value is valid but higher than the
standard value.)
n OC (Occurrence Count) indicates how often an alarm occurred.
IF OC = 0, no alarm is present
n PGN (= Parameter Group Number) defines a particular combi-
nation of SPNs.

Refer to the J1939 specification for a list of all SPNs.

7.6 Modbus Protocol

Modbus is a serial communications protocol published by Modicon
in 1979 for use with its programmable logic controllers (PLCs). It
has become a de facto standard communications protocol in
industry, and is now the most commonly available means of con-
necting industrial electronic devices. The Woodward controller sup-
ports a Modbus RTU Slave module. This means that a Master
node needs to poll the controller slave node. Modbus RTU can
also be multi-dropped, or in other words, multiple Slave devices
can exist on one Modbus RTU network, assuming that the serial
interface is a RS-485.
Detailed information about the Modbus protocol is available on the
following website:
n http://www.modbus.org/specs.php
There are also various tools available on the internet. We recom-
mend using ModScan32 which is a Windows application designed
to operate as a Modbus Master device for accessing data points in
a connected Modbus Slave device. It is designed primarily as a
testing device for verification of correct protocol operation in new or
existing systems.

Modbus Protocol

A trial version download is available from the following website:

Address range The controller Modbus Slave module distinguishes between visual-
ization data and configuration & remote control data. The different
data is accessible over a split address range and can be read via
the "Read Holding Register" function.
Furthermore, controller parameters and remote control data can be
written with the "Preset Single Registers" function or "Preset Mul-
tiple Registers" (Fig. 251)

Fig. 251: Address range

All addresses in this document comply with the Mod-

icon address convention. Some PLCs or PC programs
use different address conventions depending on their
implementation. Then the address must be increased
and the leading 4 may be omitted.
Please refer to your PLC or program manual for more
information. This determines the address sent over the
bus in the Modbus telegram. The Modbus starting
address 450001 of the visualization data may become
bus address 50000 for example.

Visualization The visualization over Modbus is provided in a very fast data pro-
tocol where important system data like alarm states, AC measure-
ment data, switch states and various other informations may be
polled.

 Interfaces And Protocols
Modbus Protocol

According to the Modbus addressing range, the visualization pro-

tocol can be reached on addresses starting at 450001. On this
address range it is possible to do block reads from 1 up to 128
Modbus registers at a time.

Table 98: Address range block read

Ä Table ‘Address range block read’ on page 491 is

only an excerpt of the data protocol. It conforms to the
data protocol 5010 that is also used by CAN bus.
Refer to Ä Chapter 9.2.3.1 ‘Protocol 5010 (Basic Visu-
alization)’ on page 574 for the complete protocol.

The following ModScan32 screenshot shows the configurations

made to read the visualization protocol with a block read of 128
registers.

Fig. 252: Visualization configurations

Configuration The Modbus interface can be used to read/write parameters.

According the Modbus addressing range for the configuration
addresses, the range starts at 40001 and ends at 450000. You can
always access only one parameter of the system in this address
range. The Modbus address can be calculated depending on the
parameter ID as illustrated below:

Block reads in this address range depend on the data type of the
parameter. This makes it important to set the correct length in

– Display refresh of easYgen-3500 with CAN (J1939

7.7 Load Sharing

General information The maximum number of participating easYgen-3000 Series
devices for load sharing is 32. The CANopen bus load increases
with the number of units participating in load sharing.
The following parameters affect the bus load:
n Number of CAN participants
n Baud rate
n Transfer rate of load share messages
n Visualization
We recommend to consider whether all data has to be sent on the
CAN bus when planning the CAN bus. It is also possible to send
visualization data via RS-485 for example.

Measures to reduce the bus load If you need to reduce the bus load of the load share CAN bus, the
following measured may be used:

492 easYgen-3400/3500 | Genset Control 37528

 Interfaces And Protocols
Load Sharing

n Increase the baud rate (parameter 3156 Äp. 298) under con-
sideration of the bus length (refer to Ä ‘Maximum CAN bus
length’ on page 72).
n Reduce the transfer rate of the load share message (param-
eter 9921 Äp. 314).
n Disable SYNC message (parameter 9100 Äp. 299) and/or
TIME message (parameter 9101 Äp. 299) and/or the producer
heartbeat time SYNC message (parameter 9120 Äp. 298), if
possible.

Multi-master principle It is important to know that the load share and load-dependent
start/stop functionality is subject to a multi-master principle. This
means that there is no dedicated master and slave function. Each
easYgen decides for itself how it has to behave.
The benefit is that there is no master control, which may cause a
complete loss of this functionality in case it fails. Each control is
also responsible for controlling common breakers like a mains cir-
cuit or generator group breaker.

Load share monitoring The easYgen provides monitoring functions for load sharing:
n Multi-unit parameter alignment
The multi-unit parameter alignment functionality requires that
the relevant parameters are all configured identically at all par-
ticipating units. For additional information refer to Ä Chapter
4.4.6.10 ‘Multi-Unit Parameter Alignment’ on page 178.
n Multi-unit missing members
The multi-unit missing members monitoring function checks
whether all participating units are available (sending data on
the load share line). For additional information refer to
Ä Chapter 4.4.6.11 ‘Multi-Unit Missing Members’ on page 179.

Load share parameters The following parameters are available for configuring the CAN bus
interfaces. Refer to Ä Chapter 4.6.4 ‘Load Share Parameters’
on page 314 for detailed information.

Woodward recommends to configure the node-IDs

(parameter 8950 Äp. 298) for units, which participate
in load sharing, as low as possible to facilitate estab-
lishing of communication.

9.2.2.8 Protocol 6000 (Load Share Message)

General information The load share message contains all data, which is required for
load/var sharing, load-dependent start/stop and dead bus detec-
tion.
Further data, which is exchanged between the control units con-
cerns time synchronization and parameter alignment. Parameter
alignment is intended for those parameters, which must be config-
ured identically for all units participating in load sharing, to ensure
a proper operation of load sharing or load-dependent start/stop.
In order to lower the bus load, the messages are divided into "fast",
"normal", and "slow" refreshed data. The mux is identified accord-
ingly with "F", "N", and "S" (refer to the following tables). The load
share message contains one fast, two normal, and four slow mes-
sages, which are made up as in Ä ‘Load share bus communica-
tion’ on page 567.

Timing The time interval between two fast messages (TFast , i.e. the time
for refreshing a fast message) is configured with the parameter
"Transfer rate LS fast message" (parameter 9921 Äp. 314). The
time intervals between refreshing a normal or slow messages
depend on this parameter as well according to the following
sequence:
n S0 – F – N0 – F – N1 – F – S1 – F – N0 – F – N1 – F – S2 – F
– N0 – F – N1 – F – S3 – F – N0 – F – N1 – F
n TFast = time interval between refreshing the fast message
n TNormal = time interval between refreshing a normal message =
3 x TFast
n TSlow = time interval between refreshing a slow message = 12 x
TFast

Example n The parameter "Transfer rate LS fast message" (param-

eter 9921 Äp. 314) is configured to "0.10 s".
n The sequence of the sent messages for TFast = 100 ms (i.e.
0.10 s) is shown in Ä ‘Load share bus communication’
on page 567.
n This means that a new message is sent every 50 ms.

Time [ms] 0 50 100 150 200 250 300 350 400 450 500 550

Mux # 5 3 1 3 2 3 6 3 1 3 2 3

The maximum length of the CAN bus load share line depends on
"Transfer rate LS fast message" (parameter 9921 Äp. 314).

9.2.2.12 Protocol 65003 (External Discrete I/O 25 to 32)

If this data protocol is addressed to an expansion

board, it is used to issue a command to energize a dis-
crete output of the expansion board (parameter
8009 Äp. 581 is written).
If this data protocol is addressed to an easYgen, it is
used to transmit the state of a discrete input of an
expansion board (parameter 8015 is written).

Bit 0 With the rising edge of the bit, the easYgen activates the
remote request command (LogicsManager input command
Start bit
variable 04.13).

The condition of the start command will be stored and may

be used as command variable for the LogicsManager.

Bit 1 With the rising edge of the bit, the easYgen deactivates the
remote request command (LogicsManager input command
Stop bit
variable 04.13).

The condition of the start command will be stored and may

be used as command variable for the LogicsManager.

Bit 4 This bit controls the LogicsManager input command variable

04.14. The remote acknowledge bit must be set and reset
"Reset alarms"
twice to acknowledge an alarm completely. The first rising
edge disables the horn and the second rising edge resets
the alarm.

Remote start /stop The command variable "04.13 Remote request" changes to
"1" (high) if the start bit is enabled and changes back to "0"
(low) if the stop bit is enabled.

Ext. Acknowledge The command variable "04.14 Remote acknowledge" is the

reflection of the control bit. The easYgen deactivates the
horn with the first change from "0" to "1" of the logical output
"External acknowledge", and acknowledges all alarm mes-
sages, which have occurred and are no longer active, with
the second change from "0" to "1".

Fig. 266: : Remote control - start/stop priority

Fig. 266 shows the reaction of the command variable on the var-
ious status changes of the bits.

Data Protocols > Additional Data Identifier > Transmit Data

The easYgen does not react on the disabling of the

start bit, but only on the enabling of the stop bit. This
has the advantage that it is not required to maintain
the connection established for the whole time in case
of a remote start via a modem.

9.4 LogicsManager Reference

9.4.1 LogicsManager Overview
The LogicsManager is used to customize the sequence of events
in the control unit such as the start command of the engine or the
operation of control unit relay outputs. For example, the start rou-
tine may be programmed so that it requires the closing of a dis-
crete input or a preset time of day.
Depending on the application mode of the unit, the number of
available relays that may be programmed with the LogicsManager
will vary.
Two independent time delays are provided for the configured
action to take place and be reset.

Structure and description of the

LogicsManager

Fig. 268: LogicsManager - function overview

n Command (variable)
A list of over 400 parameters and functions is provided for the
command inputs.
Examples of the parameters that may be configured into these
commands are generator undervoltage thresholds 1 and 2,
start fail, and cool down.
These command variables are used to control the output func-
tion or relay.
Refer to Ä Chapter 9.4.4 ‘Logical Command Variables’
on page 643 for a complete list of all command variables.
n Sign
The sign field can be used to invert the state of the command
or to fix its output to a logical true or false if the command is not
needed. Setting the sign to the NOT state changes the output
of the command variable from true to false or vice versa.
n Operator
A logical device such as AND or OR.
n (Logical) output
The action or control sequence that occurs when all parame-
ters set into the LogicsManager are met.
For a complete list of all logical outputs refer to Ä Chapter
9.4.3 ‘Logical Outputs’ on page 638.

A yes no no no no

Warning Alarm This alarm does not interrupt the unit operation. A message output without a centralized alarm occurs:

n Alarm text.

B yes yes no no no

Warning Alarm This alarm does not interrupt the unit operation. An output of the centralized alarm occurs and the command
variable 3.05 (horn) is issued.

n Alarm text + flashing LED "Alarm" + Relay centralized alarm (horn).

C yes yes soft unloading cool down time yes

Shutdown Alarm With this alarm the GCB is opened and the engine is stopped. Coasting occurs.

n Alarm text + flashing LED "Alarm" + Relay centralized alarm (horn) + GCB open + Coasting + Engine stop.

D yes yes immediately cool down time yes

Shutdown Alarm With this alarm the GCB is opened and the engine is stopped. Coasting occurs.

n Alarm text + flashing LED "Alarm" + Relay centralized alarm (horn) + GCB open + Coasting + Engine stop.

E yes yes soft unloading immediately yes

Shutdown Alarm With this alarm the GCB is opened immediately and the engine is stopped.

n Alarm text + flashing LED "Alarm" + Relay centralized alarm (horn)+ GCB open + Engine stop.

F yes yes immediately immediately yes

Shutdown Alarm With this alarm the GCB is opened immediately and the engine is stopped.

Alarm class Visible in the dis- LED "Alarm" Relay "Command: Shut-down engine Engine blocked

& horn
sequence has
been performed

Control no no no no no

Control Signal This signal issues a control command only. It may be assigned to a discrete input for example to get a control
signal, which may be used in the LogicsManager. No alarm message and no entry in the alarm list or the event
history will be issued. This signal is always self-acknowledging, but considers a delay time and may also be
configured with an engine delay.

CAUTION!
If an alarm of class C, D, or E is present and the GCB
cannot be opened, the engine will not be stopped. This
can only be achieved by enabling GCB monitoring
(parameter 2600 Äp. 158) with the alarm class config-
ured to "F" (parameter 2601 Äp. 158).

If an alarm has been configured with a shutdown alarm that has

been enabled to self-acknowledge, and has been configured as
engine delayed the following scenario may happen:
n The alarm shuts down the engine because of its alarm class.
n Due to the engine stopping, all engine delayed alarms are
ignored.
n The alarm class is acknowledged automatically.
n The alarm will self-acknowledge and clear the fault message
that shut the engine down.
This prevents the fault from being analyzed. After a short
delay, the engine will restart.
n After the engine monitoring delay expires, the fault that origi-
nally shut down the engine will do so again.
This cycle will continue to repeat until corrected.

LDSS Mode Generator Load

Task Formula

Isolated Operation

Changing the Engine Combination to Increase Rated Power PGN real active > Pmax. load isolated

Changing the Engine Combination to Reduce Rated Power PGN real active < Pmin. load isolated

(except dynamic set point is not matched)

Mains Parallel Operation (Import/Export Control)

Starting the First Engine Combination PMNsetpoint – PMN real + PGN real active > PMOPminimum

(no engine supplies the busbar)

Changing the Engine Combination to Increase Rated Power PGNreal active > Pmax. load parallel

Changing the Engine Combination to Reduce Rated Power PGN real active < Pmin. load parallel

(except dynamic set point is not matched)

Stopping the Last Engine Combination (load close to minimum PMN setpoint – PMN real + PGN real active < PMOPminimum – Physteresis
load) MOP

LDSS Dynamic

Dynamic characteristic = [(max. generator load – min. generator load) * dynamic] + (min. generator load)

Dynamic power level = (dynamic characteristic) * (generator rated power)

Constants Low dynamic = 25 %

Moderate dynamic = 50 %

High dynamic = 75 %

Example for moderate dynamic n Dynamic characteristic = [(80 % – 40 %) * 50 %] + (40 %) =

60 %
n Dynamic power level = (60 %) * (200 kW) = 120 kW
