EMCP4.1/EMCP4.2 Caterpillar


Kilowatt Relay Programming - EMCP 4.2 only

Usage:

C18 DTP
EMCP 4.2 has two programmable kW relay functions configured to respond to the %KW of the genset. These functions can be mapped to the EMCP outputs.

The set points within the programmable kW relay functions can be changed from the display, and are as follows:

Programmable Trip Point #N Trigger Condition (Choices: Disabled, Trip Above Threshold, Trip Below Threshold) - This selects whether the output will be active if the value is above or below the threshold.

Programmable Trip Point #N Percentage Threshold (Range: -100-100%) - This is the threshold of rated kW that the function must pass in order to change the state of the output.

Programmable Trip Point #N Hysteresis Percentage (Range: -100-100%) - Once the output is on, the value must return by this much past the threshold before the output turns off again. For example, if this value is 5% and the percentage threshold is 90%, then the relay will activate at 90% but not turn off again until 85% of rated kW (90-5). This hysteresis is used to ensure that a value close to the threshold does not cause the output to oscillate.

Programmable Trip Point #N Trip Activation Delay Time (Range: 0-120 seconds) - This is the time that the value must exceed the threshold before the relay becomes active. It is used to ensure that the momentary transients are ignored.
