Generator Control Systems

Description

Deep Sea Electronics DSE7320

Fully Automatic Start/Stop: Continuous utility monitoring checks voltage and frequency. If an outage, undervoltage, or phase loss occurs, the controller completes engine start, speed build-up, and breaker closing within 0-15 seconds. Intelligent Retry: Up to three start attempts are supported, followed by lockout and audible/visual alarm if starting fails. Automatic Cool-Down: When utility power returns, the load transfers back and the generator completes an unloaded cool-down before stopping. ATS Integration: Transfer logic can be configured for seamless coordination between utility and generator power.

Dimensions: 240 × 181.1 × 41.7 mm (9.4 × 7.1 × 1.6 in); panel cutout: 220 × 160 mm (8.7 × 6.3 in)

Key Features:

Key Functions: Four-line backlit LCD with configurable language, alarm display, four navigation keys, custom startup graphics, data logging, built-in PLC logic, emergency mode, PIN-protected front-panel setup, and optional -40°C operation. USB, RS232, RS485, CAN, MPU, Modbus RTU, and DSENet connectivity support configuration, remote monitoring, SMS alerts, and BMS integration. The controller monitors and protects three-phase generator parameters and, on the DSE7320 MKII, three-phase utility parameters and automatic load transfer. It measures current and power (kW, kvar, kVA, power factor), supports overload, reverse-power, overcurrent, unbalanced-load, and earth-fault protection, and provides flexible configurable inputs and outputs, staged load shedding, fuel-pump control, pre/post heat, scheduled start/stop, low-fuel alarms, and maintenance reminders. IP65 protection is available when installed with the specified gasket.

Deep Sea Electronics DSE8610 MKII

The Deep Sea Electronics DSE8610 MKII is an auto-start load-sharing controller designed for multi-generator paralleling, synchronization, and load distribution. Key capabilities include:

1. Advanced Paralleling and Load Sharing
   • Supports paralleling and load sharing for up to 32 generator sets in complex multi-unit systems.
   • Provides active and reactive power sharing, plus dead-bus closing control for fast multi-unit startup and load acceptance.

2. Comprehensive Synchronizing and Auto-Start Control

• Integrated synchronization and load sharing include frequency and voltage control, rate-of-change-of-frequency detection, and vector-shift monitoring.
• Automatic start/stop responds to load demand and includes utility decoupling protection.

3. Comprehensive Monitoring, Protection, and Alarms

• Monitors three-phase generator current and power, including kW, kVAr, kVA, and power factor.
• Protection includes reverse-power alarms, overload, unbalanced-load, overcurrent, and independent earth-fault protection.
• LCD text, LED indicators, audible alarms, and a 250-event log simplify fault review and maintenance.

4. Flexible Configuration and Expansion

• Built-in PLC logic, 12 configurable inputs, 8 configurable outputs, staged load shedding, and dummy-load control support complex applications.
• RS232, RS485, Ethernet, CAN, DSENet, and Modbus RTU/TCP connectivity enable SCADA integration and remote supervisory control.
• USB data logging records operating trends and historical status for analysis and troubleshooting.

5. Broad Compatibility and Ease of Use

• Compatible with DSE55xx, DSE75xx, and DSE8xxx series without additional expansion modules.
• Supports both electronically controlled and mechanical engines, including Tier 4 platforms, with speed data available through the electronic-engine interface.
• Free DSE configuration software supports password-protected front-panel editing and PC-based setup.

6. High Reliability and Wide-Temperature Design

• Cranking voltage-dip protection maintains controller operation during brief supply-voltage drops.
• An optional -40°C version is available for harsh industrial environments.
• IP65 protection and industrial EMC compliance support reliable operation in demanding electrical environments.
