Multiple no parallel operation combines the generating capacity of multiple units
to supply an isolated load. All operations of the generators on load in a multiple
no parallel system are accomplished isolated from the mains.
In a multiple unit system the EGCP-2 control operates in a Master/Slave type
configuration. The master role is determined over the inter-control RS-485
network by the unit in Auto mode with the highest network priority (lowest
numerical value). All other units on the same network, and in Auto mode are
considered slave units, and follow the master commands for starting, and
stopping.
The Sequencing Status Screen can be viewed on any unit in auto to determine
the master control on the network.
The key configuration points in the EGCP-2 software which need to be
configured for Multiple Unit No Parallel operation are:
