8.2.7 Load sharing
When a GENSET controller is under PMS control, it shares the load with other DEIF controllers using the DEIF network.
More information
See Power management, Load sharing for more information.
8.2.8 Ready for operation
The genset associated with a GENSET controller is ready for operation when the following conditions are met:
• There are no alarms blocking the start.
• If configured, the Start enable digital input is activated.
• The GENSET controller is under PMS control.
8.2.9 AC configuration
More information
The AC configuration and nominal settings chapter describes the AC configuration in general.
The following table shows how the general AC configuration description applies to the GENSET controller.
Table 8.5
AC configuration for the GENSET controller
GENSET General name
Generator [Source]
Busbar [Busbar]
8.2.10 Breaker configuration
More information
The Breakers, synchronisation and de-loading chapter describes breaker configuration in general. For the GENSET
controller, replace "[Breaker]" with "Generator breaker" in these descriptions.
8.3 Engine start
8.3.1 Engine start function
The controller software includes a pre-programmed engine start sequence. For the engine's start function, you must configure these
inputs and outputs, and parameters.
If a parameter needs an input or output to be configured, then that parameter is not visible until an input or output is configured with
the relevant function.
More information
See GENSET controller protections in this chapter for information on how the engine start protections work, and how to
configure them.
Controller modes
In AUTO and SEMI mode, the GENSET controller uses these inputs and outputs, and parameters to start the genset. See the
following sections for the engine start flowcharts and sequences.
INFO
When the operator starts the genset under switchboard control, the GENSET controller is not involved. These sequences
do not apply to starting a genset under switchboard control.
