9.2 EMERGENCY genset controller principles
9.2.1 Configuring an EMERGENCY genset controller
Configure each EMERGENCY genset controller in the single-line diagram, using PICUS.
To add a EMERGENCY genset controller to the single-line diagram:
1. In PICUS, under Configure > Single-line, drag the emergency genset icon to the right place on the
single-line diagram.
2. Select the EMERGENCY genset controller on the single-line diagram, and make sure that its
Controller ID is correct.
3. Broadcast the changes to all the controllers in the system.
• If needed you can override the controller ready status.
