Functions
As far as possible, the Designer's handbook descriptions are based on functions. Each function description includes the relevant
input and output functions, and parameters.
Multi-function parameters and I/Os
Some parameters and inputs/outputs can be used by more than one function. Search the whole Designer's handbook to see the
impact of a change.
Parameter used by more than one function example
For a GENSET controller, Configure > Parameters > Generator > Nominal settings > Nominal settings 1 > Voltage
(V) is the genset Nominal voltage for the first set of nominal settings. The Nominal voltage is the basis for all the voltage
alarms.
General names
Square brackets [ ] are used to create general names. General names are used to avoid repeating the same function description.
Use of square brackets examples
[Source] represents the Generator for a GENSET controller.
[Hardware module] represents the relevant controller hardware module.
[Breaker] represents the Generator breaker for a GENSET controller.
More information
See System principles, Overall principles, General names for controller types for more information.
Numbered possibilities
The hash symbol # is used when there are several numbered possibilities, to avoid repeating the same function description for each
numbered possibility.
Use of hash # example
Controller ID #: # represents 1 to 64. That is, the system can have up to 32 controllers, each with their own unique
Controller ID between 1 and 64.
Number format
The number format uses the following symbols.
Description
Symbol Symbol name Example
Decimal separator . dot 10.1 s = 10 seconds 100 milliseconds
Thousands separator , comma 20,000 kW = 20 MW
1.1.4 Recommended design process
DEIF recommends the following design process:
1. Sketch the single-line diagram for the system. From the sketch, identify how many controllers are needed to control the system's
equipment and breakers:
• For each diesel generator, you need a GENSET controller to control the diesel generator and its breaker.
