1.2.2 Remote-controlled starts
The gensets can be started by remote signals (for example, by sending a Modbus signal, or using PICUS). To avoid personal injury,
the genset design, the layout, and maintenance procedures must take this into account.
1.2.3 Switchboard control
Under Switchboard control, the operator controls and operates the equipment from the switchboard. When Switchboard control is
activated:
• The controller trips the breaker and/or shuts down the engine, if an alarm situation arises that requires a trip and/or shutdown.
• The controller DOES NOT accept operator commands.
• The controller cannot and DOES NOT prevent any manual operator actions.
The switchboard design must therefore ensure that the system is sufficiently protected when the controller is under Switchboard
control.
1.2.4 Do not manually override active alarm actions
DANGER!
Do not use switchboard or manual control to override the alarm action of an active alarm.
An alarm may be active because it is latched, or because the alarm condition is still present. If the alarm action is manually
overridden, a latched alarm does not do its alarm action again. In this situation, the latched alarm does not provide protection.
Latched Over-current alarm example
The controller trips a breaker because of over-current. The operator then manually (that is, not using the controller) closes
the breaker while the Over-current alarm is still latched.
If another over-current situation arises, the controller does not trip the breaker again. The controller regards the original
Over-current latched alarm as still active, and it does not provide protection.
