SPI application: 
Automatic mode is influenced by ProcCtrlSingle: Island enable, ParallelEnable, Synchro enable setpoints. 
 
SPI application, no island (stand-by) operation 
allowed 
 
 
Gen-set start is blocked. Binary output 
OflStartBlck indicates those states. 
 
 
Following procedure corresponds to setting No.1 from table above. 
2)  After the input Rem start/stop is energized, controller starts the gen-set. If MCB feedack is active, the 
controller will synchronize the gen-set to mains and ramp up the load, depending on the ProcCtrlSingle 
set points adjustment. 
3)  If a mains failure is recognized, the controller will open the GCB to separate the failed mains from the 
generator. After the mains breaker has been open (MCB feedback is de-energized), the controller will 
close the GCB again to the island (stand-by) operation. 
4)  If mains recovers again, the GCB is open again to allow the MCB to be closed (manually or in general 
not with a command from the controller). After both mains is present and MCB closed, the controller will 
synchronize again with the healthy mains and close the GCB. 
5)  If input Rem start/stop is de-energized, controller will softly unload the gen-set back to the mains, then 
open the GCB, cool down and stop the gen-set. 
 
 
MINT application (the IGS-NT-LSM+PMS dongle is required to enable POWER MANAGEMENT 
function): 
1)  All gen-sets necessary to cover selected LoadRes strt  are started when binary input SYS START/STOP 
is closed and  Pwr management is ENABLED. Power management can be based on kW, kVA or on 
relative % reserve. 
a)  1 sec delayed when MCB FEEDBACK binary input is closed (mains parallel) 
b)  delayed #SysAMFstrt del when MCB FEEDBACK binary input is opened – start to island parallel 
(multi AMF) situation 
2)  The first gen-set closes the GCB to the dead bus, the rest are synchronized to the bus. 
3)  When all necessary gen-sets are connected to the bus and LoadRes strt is achieved, SYST RES OK 
output is closed. Output could be used to close the MGCB (Master GCB). 
4)  Total load and power factor are shared between parallel operating gen-sets. 
5)  Close input LOAD RESERVE 2 (or 3 or 4) and use setpoint LoadRes strt2(or 3 or 4) to switch to another 
load reserve setting. E.g. high load reserve during system start to be able to switch-on big devices, then 
during normal operation lower reserve to save engines (and fuel). 
6)  If total load increases and selected LoadRes strt is no more fulfilled, after a Next start del next ready 
gen-set with the highest priority (lowest priority number) is started and synchronized to the bus. 
7)  If load decreases and selected LoadRes stp is exceeded, after a Next stop del the running gen-set with 
the lowest priority is unloaded, got off line, cooled and stopped. 
8)  Complete gen-sets group stops when binary input SYS START/STOP opens. If the input MCB 
FEEDBACK is closed (gen-sets are in parallel to mains) controllers softly transfer the load to the mains. 
When gen-set is unloaded (see GCB open level or GCB open del) opens the output GCB 
CLOSE/OPEN. 
9)  The Running hours balancing or Load demand engines swap can be activated in power management. 
HINT 
Controller does not respond to GCB ON/OFF , STOP, START buttons and corresponding remote 
InteliMonitor or Modbus commands in AUT mode.
