Software Overview
Introduction
The software used in the EGCP-2 uses state machine logic to operate all modes.
State machine logic relies upon discrete inputs, and specific operating conditions
to trigger a sequence of operations. The state machine logic uses the following
State Machines to operate the generator set:
• Close Mains Breaker
• Open Mains Breaker
• Start Engine
• Off
• Synchronize
• Load Control
• Close Gen Breaker
• Open Gen Breaker
Various inputs and actions determine which state machine is in operation at any
given time.
Status Screens
There is a total of nine status menus in the EGCP-2. Use the status keys on the
face of the EGCP-2 to access these status menus. The information in the status
menus is dynamic, and updates about every 200 milliseconds.
When the EGCP-2 is initially powered up, it will default to the System Status
Screen. Below is an example of what the Screen may look like. The System
Status Screen can be accessed while in any other status screen by pressing the
SYSTEM key.
