Digital input Continuous
Wire the emergency stop digital input so that it is normally activated. If
the emergency stop digital input is not activated, then controller
activates the Emergency stop alarm.
CAUTION
The Emergency stop is part of the safety chain, and this digital input function should only be used to inform the controller of
the emergency stop. However, the controller's emergency stop input cannot be used as the system's only emergency stop.
For example, if the controller is unpowered, it cannot respond to the emergency stop digital input.
8.7.7 Overspeed
These two alarms are for overspeed protection.
The alarm response is based on the genset speed, as measured by the MPU/W/NPN/PNP
input.
Configure these parameters under Configure > Parameters > Engine > Protections > Overspeed #, where # is 1 or 2.

INFO
In addition to these overspeed alarms, one of the controller's digital inputs can be connected to hardware that detects
overspeed. A customised alarm for overspeed can then be configured on that digital input.
