Modes of Operation
"SEMI" (Semi-automatic)
"SEMI" mode is activated by pressing the "SEMI" button (40) on the front of the AGC controller.
The display buttons ( (30) - (49) ) are active and can be used by the operator.
The regulators are also active. The speed control will bring the generator to nominal speed upon start.
When pushing a breaker button for closing, the AGC will synchronize (if allowed) the breaker. When the breaker closes, the regulation continues, but no breakers are opened or closed.
"TEST"
"TEST" mode is activated by pressing the "Test mode" button (38) on the front of the AGC controller.
The unit will start the generator, carry out the test sequence (predefined time period) and stop the generator again. The generator will return to "AUTO" or "SEMI" mode (defined in parameter 7043) after the test sequence. The mains breaker will remain closed, and the generator breaker will remain open.
Note: The test running can be: Simple test(starting the generator set without closing the generator breaker), Load test (parallel to the mains and take load to a predefined value), or Full test(transfer the load to the generator set and open the mains breaker if the generator set can take the full load.
"AUTO"
"AUTO" mode is activated by pressing the "Auto mode" button (43) on the front of the AGC controller.
The unit will automatically carry out the selected genset/plant mode (AMF, fixed power, and so on).
The display control buttons ( (46) - (49) ) are disabled.
If the selected genset/plant mode is any of the following, start/stop can be used:
- fixed power
- mains power export
- load takeover (island)
- timer start/stop (week watch)
- binary input
In PM systems, start/stop buttons can only be used from a mains unit with parameter 8021 set to "LOCAL". If used in a single DG application, start can only be set with a digital input or timer.
"MAN"
"MAN" mode is activated by pressing the "Manual mode" button (42) on the front of the AGC controller.
The display control buttons ( (48) , (49) ) are active and can be used by the operator.
The regulators are not active. Speed (and voltage) control has to take place using external controls for generator speed and possibly generator voltage control.
The breakers will be able to open or close at any time. A synchronization check will always be performed to ensure safe closing of the breakers.
"BLOCK"
"BLOCK" mode is activated by pressing the "Off mode" button (41) on the front of the AGC controller.
The unit will not be able to start. "BLOCK" mode can be selected during standstill, or when running. If activated when running, the generator set will stop and enter "BLOCK" mode. When "BLOCK" mode is activated, no inputs will be able to start the genset. To exit "BLOCK" mode, press the "AUTO" (43) , "SEMI" (40) , or "MAN" (42) button.
Alarms
When an alarm occurs, the unit will automatically go to the alarm list, if selected (setting 6900 Alarm jump) for display of the alarm. If setting 6900 is "OFF", press the alarm list button (35) to enter the alarm list.
Use the "escape/back" button (37) to exit the alarm list when required.
The alarm list contains both acknowledged and unacknowledged alarms if the alarm condition is still present. Once an alarm is acknowledged and the condition has disappeared, the alarm will no longer be displayed in the alarm list.
If there are no alarms, the alarm list will say "no alarms."
 | |
| Illustration 10 | g03845199 |
A typical example of an unacknowledged alarm. | |
Only one alarm is displayed at a time.
To see the other alarms, use the "UP", and "DOWN" arrow buttons (34) to scroll in the display. To acknowledge an alarm, place the cursor over the channel number and then press "SEL" (center of (34) ).
Log list
The log is divided into three different lists:
- Events
- Alarms
- Battery test
The log list contains up to 150 events. The alarm list contains up to 30 historical alarms. The battery test list contains up to 52 historical battery tests.
An example of an "event" is the closing of a breaker, or starting of an engine. An example of an "alarm" is over-current, or high cooling water temperature. An example of a battery test is "OK," or "test failed."
To enter the log list:
- Press the "log lists button" (31)
- Use the "UP", and "DOWN" arrow buttons (34) to scroll to the desired list, then press "SEL" (center of (34) ).
