- Benefit: Easy setup, monitoring, and troubleshooting. Access vital information at a glance, configure settings, and review event logs with minimal effort.
7. Event Logging & Data Storage
- Feature: Stores a detailed history of alarms, warnings, and operational events with timestamps.
- Benefit: Facilitates fault diagnosis, performance analysis, and predictive maintenance planning.
8. Remote Monitoring & Control (Optional Add-on)
- Feature: Available with RS485 (Modbus RTU), USB, Ethernet, or GSM/GPRS modules for remote communication.
- Benefit: Monitor and control your generator from anywhere via PC, SCADA systems, or mobile devices. Ideal for unattended sites and large-scale installations.
9. Programmable Parameters
- Feature: Customizable settings for delay timers (start delay, transfer delay, cool-down), setpoints for protection thresholds, and test schedules.
- Benefit: Allows the panel to be precisely tailored to specific site requirements and operational preferences.
10. Robust & Durable Design
- Feature: Housed in an industrial-grade enclosure with high ingress protection (e.g., IP65 front panel rating). Built with high-quality components.
- Benefit: Ensures reliable performance in harsh industrial environments, offering long-term durability and resistance to dust and moisture.
⚙️ How It Works (Simplified)
- Mains Power Failure: The control panel continuously monitors the incoming utility power. If it detects a prolonged outage or an unacceptable voltage/frequency deviation, it initiates the startup sequence.
- Generator Startup: After a programmable delay, the panel sends a start command to the diesel generator. It monitors crank attempts and engine stabilization.
- Load Transfer: Once the generator is running stably and its output voltage/frequency are within limits, the panel commands the Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) to switch the electrical load from mains to generator power.
- Generator Runs: The generator supplies power to the load while the panel continues to monitor all vital parameters, providing protection and displaying status.
- Mains Power Restoration: When the utility power returns and stabilizes, the panel waits for a programmable return delay.
- Load Retransfer: The panel commands the ATS to switch the load back to the mains supply.
- Generator Cool-down & Shutdown: The generator enters a programmable cool-down period (running off-load) to allow the engine to cool gradually, extending its life. After cooling, the panel sends a stop command, and the generator shuts down. The panel then resets, ready for the next event.
