Key Features & Capabilities:
Automatic Start/Stop Control:
Intelligent engine start/stop sequences, configurable for various generator types (diesel, gas, propane).
Automatic crank and rest cycles with over-crank protection.
Configurable warm-up and cool-down periods to extend engine life.
Comprehensive Monitoring:
Engine Parameters: Oil pressure, engine temperature, fuel level, battery voltage, run hours, RPM, service alarms.
Generator Electrical Parameters: 3-phase AC voltage (L-L, L-N), current (A), frequency (Hz), active power (kW), reactive power (kVAR), apparent power (kVA), power factor (PF), energy accumulation (kWh).
Mains (Utility) Monitoring: 3-phase AC voltage (L-L, L-N), frequency (Hz) for automatic transfer switch (ATS) applications.
Audible alarm and visual indication for all faults.
Intuitive User Interface (HMI):
High-Resolution LCD Display: Clear, back-lit graphic display showing all critical parameters, alarms, and event logs.
Tactile Push Buttons: Easy navigation and manual control (start, stop, reset, menu).
LED Status Indicators: Quick visual reference for generator status (running, stopped, fault, auto mode).
Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) Integration:
Seamless control of external ATS for automatic power switching between utility and generator.
Configurable transfer delays and re-transfer logic to prevent power surges.
Utility monitoring for automatic generator start on mains failure and stop on mains return.
Remote Monitoring & Communication:
RS-485 (Modbus RTU): For integration with SCADA systems, BMS, or remote telemetry units.
Ethernet (Optional - Modbus TCP/IP, SNMP): Enables remote access via web browser, email notifications for alarms, and integration into IP-based networks.
USB Port: For local configuration, firmware updates, and data download via PC software.
Event Logging & Diagnostics:
Stores detailed logs of events, alarms, and operational data with time and date stamps.
Facilitates troubleshooting, performance analysis, and predictive maintenance.
Programmable Inputs/Outputs:
Multiple configurable digital and analog inputs for custom sensors (e.g., water level, smoke detection, pressure transducers).
