will refer to a group of controllers.
LOCKOUT - is used to indicate a fault that prevents the generator from operating and causes automatic
and immediate emergency engine shut-down.
POWER-OFF - is used to indicate a fault that prevents the generator from operating and causes the
standard automatic engine shutoff (including a cooling phase).
WARNING - is used to indicate a fault that requires the intervention of the operator without engine
shutoff.
MAINS – Public power supply line.
LOAD/BUS – Electrical power supply line of the loads. It can be connected to more gensets
GENERATOR – Electricity line that is connected to the alternator of the Generator set
LOAD – Electrical power supply line of the loads. This can be connected to the Mains or to the
Generator
MCB - Switch or component to manage the switching between the Mains line and the Load line.
GCB – Switch or component to manage the switching between the Generator line and the Load line.
CANBUS - Interface for the control and diagnostics of engines equipped with SAE J1939 or CanBus
MTU interface.
ISLAND - Type of plant where one or more gensets supply the Load without being in parallel with the
Mains.
MPM – Type of plant working in Island mode and gensets working in parallel among them.
SSB + SSTP (Single Stand By + Single Short Time Parallel) - Type of plant where the genset starts and
supplies the Load in case of Mains failure; once back to normal conditions, it carries out a short time
parallel with the Mains, it disconnects from the Mains and from Load and it stops in stand-by. Depending
on the configuration of the plant, it is also possible to synchronize the Genset with the Mains before
disconnecting it in order not to leave the Load without supply.
