Manual 37278B GCP-30 Series - Genset Control
Page 14/174 © Woodward
Chapter 3.
Parameter
Configuration may be performed via the front panel keys or using a PC and the PC program LeoPC1 via the seri-
al interface. Use LeoPC1 version 3.1 or higher for this. Additionally it is possible to configure the unit via CAN
bus. The following Baud rates are therefore usable:
• Configuration via direct configuration plug (RS-232) = 9,600 Baud (8 Bit, no parity, 1 Stop bit)
• CAN bus (CiA) (RS-485) = 125, 250 or 500 kBaud configurable via the serial interface.
CAUTION
For configuration of this control (firmware software version starting with 4.3xxx) a PC software with
the following version number or higher must be used:
LeoPC1 from 3.1
Not all parameters may be configured directly at the GCP with Option SCxx anymore. Therefore, it is
recommended to have LeoPC1 and the specific configuration files available when commissioning.
Because of functional enhancements within the controls of the GCP-30 Series it is necessary (beginning with
firmware version 4.3xxx of the GCP) to use a newer version of the configuration software LeoPC1. This version
at least must be 3.1 or higher. If the LeoPC1 software you currently use has an older version the latest version
can be ordered at our technical sales or can be downloaded on our homepage at
http://www.woodward.com/software.
After an updated version of LeoPC1 has been installed older project files may still be used. These can be trans-
ferred to the appropriate file locations within the new program.
WARNING
Please note that configuration only should be performed while the system is not operating.
NOTE
Before configuring a control unit, familiarize yourself with the parameters listed at the end of this ma-
nual.
You can scroll through the parameters if you are in configuration mode (simultaneously pressing of "Digit↑" and
"Cursor→" push buttons permits access to the configuration mode) using "Select". If you press and hold the "Se-
lect" push button the scroll function will be activated, allowing for the parameter screens to be advanced through
more rapidly. The control unit will permit the operator to reverse up to four previous screens (exception: it is not
possible to reverse from the first parameter to the last parameter or to backup through the service screens). To
perform the reverse function through the parameter screens, the "Select" and "Cursor→" push buttons must be
pressed and released simultaneously. The control unit will revert to automatic mode, if an entry isn't performed, a
change made or any other action performed for 90 seconds.
NOTE
There are two different types of hardware, which are described in this manual: A 120 Vac version [1]
and a 480 Vac version [4]. The configuration screens and parameters differ in both versions, and the
setting limits also differ. The two types are identified by the preceding voltage values ([1] ... or [4] ...).
