CONFIGURATION OF
BINARY INPUTS AND
OUTPUTS
CONTROLLER
Physical output terminals
PRINCIPLE OF BINARY INPUTS AND OUTPUTS CONFIGURATION
The controller is shipped with a default configuration, which should be suitable for most standard
applications. This default configuration can be changed only by using a PC with the LiteEdit software.
See LiteEdit documentation for details.
NOTE:
You need one of communication modules to connect the controller to a PC with LiteEdit. There is a
special easy removable service module for cases when no communication module is permanently
attached.
Once the configuration is modified, it can be saved to a file for later usage with another controller or for
backup purposes. The file is called archive and has the file extension .aic. An archive contains a full
image of the controller at the time of saving (if the controller is online for the PC) except the firmware.
Besides configuration it also contains current adjustment of all setpoints, all measured values, a copy
of the history log and a copy of the alarm list.
The archive can be simply used for cloning controllers, i.e. preparing controllers with identical
configuration and settings.

The shortest possible piece of wire should be used for controller grounding. Use cable min. 2.5 mm .
A brass M4x10 screw with star washer securing ring type grounding terminal shall be used.
The negative “-” battery terminal must be properly grounded.
Switchboard and engine must be grounded at a common point. Use as short a cable as
possible to the grounding point.

For connection with a 12 V DC power supply, the InteliCompact includes internal capacitors that
allow the controller to continue operation during cranking if the battery voltage dip occurs. If the battery
voltage is 10 V before the dip and it recovers to 7 V within 100 ms the controller continues operating.
During this voltage dip, the controller screen backlight may turn on and off but the controller keeps
operating.
It is possible to further support the controller by connecting the external capacitor and separating
diode or I-LBA module:
The capacitor size depends on the required time. It shall be approximately in the thousands of
microfarads.
The capacitor size should be 5000 microfarad to withstand a 150 ms voltage dip under the following
conditions:
Voltage before dip is 12 V, after 150 ms the voltage recovers to the min. allowed voltage, i.e. 8 V.
HINT:
Before the battery is discharged the message "Low BackupBatt" appears.
The I-LBA module ensures a min. 350 ms voltage dip under following conditions:
Communication and extension plug-in modules are connected.
Voltage before dip is 12 V and after 350 ms the voltage recovers to the min. allowed voltage
5 V.
The I-LBA enables controller operation from 5 V DC (for 10 to 30 seconds).
The wiring resistance from the battery should be up to 0.1 Ω for proper function of the I-LBA.
HINT:
I-LBA may not eliminate voltage drop when used with the low temperature (-40 °C) version of the
controller and the display heating element is on (below 5 °C). The current drain of the heating element
exhausts LBA capacitors very fast.

3.7.1 Power supply fusing
A one-amp fuse should be connected in line with the battery positive terminal to the controller and
modules. These items should never be connected directly to the starting battery.
Fuse value and type depends on the number of connected devices and wire length.
The recommended fuse type (not fast) is T1A due to internal capacitors charging during
power up.
WARNING!
Do not open the secondary circuit of current transformers when the primary circuit is closed!!! Open
the primary circuit first!

Use 1.5 mm cables for voltage connection and 2.5 mm for current transformers connection.
Adjust nominal voltage, nominal current, CT ratio and PT ratio by appropriate setpoints in the Basic
Settings group. Learn about how to view and change setpoints in the User interface chapter.

Since HW version 1.3 the InteliCompact measures current with reversed polarity. It is not
recommended to switch wiring at the current transformer side. To fix this error use FW IC-NT-1.4.3 or
newer.
3.9.1 Pickup
A magnetic speed sensor (pickup) is the most common method of engine speed measurement. To
use this method, mount the pickup opposite to the engine flywheel, connect the cable to the controller

It is possible to use either a motorized circuit breaker or contactor. Below is a list of available control
outputs that should fit all types of contactors or breakers. The following rules must be kept to when
designing the wiring of power switches:
The control outputs must be configured and wiring of the power switches must be provided in
such a way, that the controller has full control over the breakers – i.e. the controller can open
and close the breaker at any time.
NT
InteliCompact , SW version 1.4
InteliCompact-NT-1.4-Reference Guide-r4.pdf, ©ComAp – April 2013 24
The breaker must respond within max. 2 seconds to a close and open command. Special
attention should be paid to opening of motorized circuit breakers, as it could take more than 2
seconds on some types. In such cases it is necessary to use an undervoltage coil for fast
opening.
The breaker feedback functions must be configured onto some binary inputs and the signals
from the breakers must be connected to it and provide reliable information about the breaker
position.
An output giving a 2 second pulse in the moment the breaker has to be closed. The
ON coil
output is intended for control of close coils of circuit breakers.
An output giving a pulse in the moment the breaker has to be opened. The pulse
OFF coil lasts until the feedback deactivates, but at least for 2 seconds. The output is
intended for control of open coils of circuit breakers.
The output is active the whole time the gen-set is running (GCB, not in idle or
cooling) or the controller is switched on (MCB). The output is deactivated for at least
UV coil
2 seconds in the moment the breaker has to be switched off. The output is intended

The Vext input (connector CN1 – terminals 10 and 11) permits analog remote control of output voltage with a
programmable variation range of up to ±10% (parameter 16, by default the setting is ±5%) with respect to the
value set. If you want to use continuous voltage, it will be effective if it is in the range between 0 V and
+2.5 V. The input tolerates voltages from -5 V to +5 V, but for values exceeding the limits of 0 V / +2.5 V (or
in the event of disconnection) it is automatically disabled and the voltage adjustment goes back to the value
set through the trimmer (if enabled) or through parameter 19 (as shown on the picture).
Changing the DSR parameters requires a PC with dedicated software and a DI1-DSR unit!
DSR automatically detects the presence of a transformer for parallel operation (if used it works with droop, if
not used then it works isochronous).

3.15 Speed governor interface
The speed governor output is used to control the speed or the power of the engine via the remote
speed controlling input provided by the speed governor.
The output from the controller can work in the following modes:
voltage mode 0 to 10 V
voltage mode 0 to 10 V with serial 10k resistor
5 V PWM mode
NOTE:
The PWM mode is designed and optimized for Caterpillar governors.
The jumpers for speed governor output mode are shown on the picture below.
The initial level of the governor output is adjustable by the setpoint Speed Gov Bias and the
characteristic (positive or negative) can be selected by the setpoint Speed Gov Char.
The active range of the output can be adapted to the governor input range by setpoints
SpeedGovLowLim and SpeedGovHiLim.
NOTE:
Some governors may evaluate input voltage out of the allowed range as a faulty condition and their
functioning may be blocked.

3.16 CAN bus wiring
The wiring of the CAN bus communication should be provided in such a way that the following rules
are observed:
The maximum length of the CAN bus depends on the communication speed. For a speed of
250 kbps, which is used on the CAN1 bus (extension modules, ECU) and CAN2 bus if it is
switched to 32C mode, the maximum length is 200 m. If the CAN2 bus is switched to 8C mode
the speed is 50 kbps and the maximum length is 800 m.
The bus must be wired in linear form with termination resistors at both ends. No nodes are
allowed except on the controller terminals.
NOTE:
A termination resistor at the CAN is already implemented on the PCB. For connecting, close
the jumper near the appropriate CAN terminal.
Use a cable with following parameters:
Impedance 120 Ω
120R 120R
NOTE:
See the website www.can-cia.org for information about the CAN bus, specifications, etc.

To insert the module, you must open the cover first (use a screwdriver to open) and then insert the
module into the slot. Once you have inserted it, the module will snap under the plastic teeth. It is
supposed to be installed permanently. Should you need to remove it, the safest way is to remove the
entire back cover and then remove the module manually. Installing the IL-NT BIO8 module is similar to
installing the RS 232 module. The difference is that module fits into the “extension module” slot and
after installing the IL-NT BIO8 you do not put the small cover back.

3.18.5 IC-NT CT-BIO7
Hybrid current input and binary input/output module (SPtM)
IC-NT CT-BIO7 is an optional plug-in card. Through this card the controller can accommodate one
AC current (CT) measuring input and up to 7 binary inputs or outputs. In the LiteEdit PC configuration
tool (version 4.4 and higher) it is possible to easily choose if particular I/O will be binary input or
output.
NOTE:
Current measuring input is intended to measure one phase (AC) current of mains and to limit
Export/Import to/from mains to zero value during parallel to mains operation. This is the case of the
SPtM application, so current input of the IC-NT CT-BIO7 module is useful for SPtM controllers only.
To insert the module, you must open the cover first (use a screwdriver to open) and then insert the
module into the slot. Once you have inserted it, the module will snap under the plastic teeth. It is

3.20 EFI engines
To meet requests for low fuel consumption, low emissions and high reliability, modern engines are
electronically controlled by an "Engine Control Unit" (ECU). The ECU is fitted directly on the engine; it
measures various engine parameters like speed, intake air flow, coolant temperature, etc. and controls
various actuators like injectors, ignition, valves, etc. to achieve optimal operating conditions of the
engine.
Most of the ECUs also have a communication interface to the rest of the system (e.g. a vehicle, a gen-
set, a pump, etc.) to provide engine operational data, alarm conditions and also to enable remote
control. The most commonly used interface is the CAN bus with the SAE J1939 protocol or sometimes
also the RS485 with the MODBUS protocol.
The J1939 protocol was introduced by the SAE organization originally for the automotive industry but
now is often used also for other engine applications. The J1939 specification is partially open, which
means that each engine producer may have a slightly different implementation of the J1939 protocol.
This is why each new ECU type obviously needs slight modification of the controller firmware to
support the particular ECU.
The IC-NT controller supports most of the J1939-based ECU types as well as Cummins Modbus ECU.
New ECU types are added to the firmware as they appear in the field.

4.7 Step-by-step guide
In the following you will find several steps which you should carry out when you are putting a gen-set
into operation. It supposes that the switchboard wiring has been already checked.
NOTE:
This guide is not a handbook for a beginner, but it is focused on things specific for ComAp controllers
and expects sufficient knowledge and skills in the field of generating sets!
WARNING!
Some parts of the generator, engine and switchboard may carry dangerous voltage which can cause
injury or death when touched!
WARNING!
Rotating parts of the gen-set can catch hair or clothing and cause serious injury.
1. Disconnect the binary outputs from the controller before connecting the power supply. If you
have an SPtM application, be sure that the MCB and GCB are protected against accidental
switching when you are working in the switchboard.
2. Check the controller configuration according to the wiring diagram of the switchboard. If the
configuration has been modified, write it to the controller
3. Write all setpoints from the default archive and then go through them and readjust all of them
if it is necessary. Pay special attention to nominal values, overspeed, gear teeth, fuel solenoid
and CT ratio.
4. Check all settings regarding speed sensing and additional running information, especially if
you do not use a pickup for speed sensing.
5. Adjust bias setpoints for the governor and AVRi output to the recommended levels and adjust
all delays for generator protections to high values to have enough time for making adjustments
on a running gen-set.
6. Connect the binary outputs back.
7. Adjust all setpoints related to engine start and stabilization phase, then start the gen-set in
MAN mode and then make fine readjustments.
8. Leave the gen-set running and adjust the governor and/or AVRi so that the gen-set will have a
speed and voltage near to the nominal values. If it is not possible to achieve this by turning the
trim on the AVRi and/or governor, you can also slightly change the bias setpoints.
NOTE:
The bias setpoints must not be near the limits for the particular output, because the regulation
loops need sufficient reserve of the output range on both sides to work correctly.
9. Adjust all generator and engine protections according to your needs including the delays.
10. Adjust the setpoint Phase Window to 0. This adjustment will disable issuing of the GCB close
command during synchronization, but the synchronization itself will be performed normally for
the whole adjusted time.
11. Press the GCB button to start the synchronizing. Then, using a voltmeter connected directly
over the contactor, check if the synchroscope indication on the controller screen matches the
voltage. The voltage must be near to 0V when the synchroscope is in a 12 o'clock position
and near to 2*Unominal when it is in a 6 o'clock position. Check all three phases.

12. Adjust the setpoint Phase Window back to your desired value (typically 3–7°).
13. Synchronize the gen-set with the mains or other gen-sets. Adjust the setpoints for voltage,
frequency and angle regulation loops to achieve fast and reliable synchronization.
14. Adjust the setpoints for power, power factor, load-sharing and VARsharing loops.
15. Check the rest of the setpoints and then save the archive to disk for backup purposes.

6.3 Operating modes
Selecting the operating mode is done through MODE buttons on the front panel or by changing the
Controller mode setpoint (from the front panel or remotely).
NOTE:
If this setpoint is configured as password-protected, the correct password must be entered prior to
attempting to change the mode.
NOTE:
The mode cannot be changed if Access Lock input is active.
The following binary inputs can be used to force one respective operating mode independent of the
mode setpoint selection:
Remote OFF
Remote MAN
Remote AUT
Remote TEST
Rem TEST OnLd
If the respective input is active the controller will change the mode to the respective position according
to the active input. If multiple inputs are active, the mode will be changed according to priorities of the
inputs. The priorities match the order in the list above. If all inputs are deactivated, the mode will return
to the original position given by the setpoint.
6.3.1 OFF
The GCB will be opened and the engine will be immediately stopped in this mode without unloading
and cooling. After that the controller will stay in Not ready status and cannot be started any way. The
MCB is closed permanently (MCB Opens On = GENRUN) or is open or closed according to whether
the mains are present or not (MCB Opens On = MAINSFAIL). No AMF function will be performed. The
buttons MCB, GCB, START, STOP including the appropriate binary inputs for external buttons are not
active.
6.3.2 MAN
The engine can be started and stopped manually using the START and STOP buttons (or external
buttons wired to the appropriate binary inputs) in MAN mode. When the engine is running, GCB can
be closed to a dead bus or synchronizing can be started by the GCB button. Also MCB can be closed
and opened manually using the MCB button, regardless of whether the mains are present or not. No
auto start is performed. No reaction to the inputs Sys Start/Stop or Rem Start/Stop.
A loaded engine in MAN mode will perform Load sharing and VAR sharing, but will not take place
within the power management.
NOTE:
The breakers are internally locked to close two voltages against each other without synchronizing! The
controller will automatically recognize if the breaker can be just closed or must be synchronized.
CAUTION!
The MCB can be opened manually in MAN mode. Accidental opening of the MCB will cause the object
(load) to remain without power!!!
NT
InteliCompact , SW version 1.4
InteliCompact-NT-1.4-Reference Guide-r4.pdf, ©ComAp – April 2013 87
6.3.3 AUT
The engine is started and stopped by the binary input Rem Start/Stop (SPtM), by the Load demand
auto start function (SPtM) or by the Power management (MINT). The buttons MCB, GCB, START,
STOP including the appropriate binary inputs for external buttons are not active. The full start
sequence up to the moment when the engine is loaded is automatic as well as unloading and the stop
sequence.
WARNING!
If a red alarm is present and the gen-set is in AUT mode, it can start by itself after all red alarms
become inactive and are acknowledged!!! To avoid this situation, adjust the setpoint Reset to MAN to
the ENABLED position.
6.3.4 TEST
SPtM only
The behaviour of the controller in TEST mode depends mainly on the setting of the ReturnFromTEST
setpoint.
If the GCB button is pressed, the controller will synchronize to the mains, transfer the load to
the gen-set (the maximum time that both breakers are closed is determined by the
BreakerOverlap setpoint) and then open the MCB.
If the MCB button is pressed, the controller will open the MCB, then wait for Transfer Del and
finally close the GCB.
When the load is supplied by the gen-set and the mains are healthy, pressing the MCB button will start
reverse synchronizing and transfer the load back to the mains.
The gen-set remains running until the mode is changed.
NT
InteliCompact , SW version 1.4
InteliCompact-NT-1.4-Reference Guide-r4.pdf, ©ComAp – April 2013 88
This depends on position of the binary input ForwSyncDisable. After the binary input Rem TEST OnLd
has been deactivated, the controller goes back to the previous operation mode and its behaviour
depends on that. In most cases it will be AUT mode and the controller will either stay supplying the
load if the mains have failed, or will transfer the load back to the mains.
NOTE:
During the BreakerOverlap time, when both breakers are closed, the load is controlled either to the
constant Baseload level (if the MCB has to be opened) or to zero level (if the GCB has to be opened).
1. After the command for start is issued (pressing START button in MAN mode, auto start
condition is fulfilled in AUT mode or controller is switched to TEST mode), the output Prestart
is energized for time period given by the setpoint Prestart Time.
2. After the prestart has elapsed, the output Fuel Solenoid is energized and 0.5 after that the
starter motor is activated by energizing the output Starter.
3. When one or more of following conditions are met, the prestart and starter of both outputs are
de-energized:
The engine speed exceeds the value of Starting RPM, or
One of additional running indication signals becomes active.
4. The controller remains in the Starting phase until the engine speed exceeds the value of
Starting RPM, after that it is considered as started and the Idle period will follow.
5. The maximum duration that the starter motor is energized is determined by the setpoint
MaxCrank time. If the engine does not start within this period, the starter motor is de-
energized and a pause with length determined by CrnkFail pause will follow. Prestart output
remains active during the pause. After the pause has elapsed, the next start attempt is
executed. The number of start attempts is given by the setpoint Crank Attempts.
6. Once the engine is started, the Idle period follows. The binary output Idle/Nominal remains
inactive (as it was during the start). The idle period duration is adjusted by the setpoint Idle
Time.
7. After the idle period has finished, the output Idle/Nominal is activated and the start-up
sequence is finished. The stabilization phase follows.

6.4.2 Gas engine
The setpoint Fuel Solenoid must be switched to the GAS position.
1. After the command for start is issued (pressing START button in MAN mode, auto start
condition is fulfilled in AUT mode or controller is switched to TEST mode), the output Prestart
is energized for time period given by the setpoint Prestart Time.
2. After the prestart has elapsed, the starter motor is activated by energizing the output Starter.
3. When the engine speed exceeds 30RPM, the outputs Fuel Solenoid and Ignition are
energized.
4. When the engine speed exceeds value of Starting RPM, the starter motor is de-energized, the
engine is considered as started and the Idle period will follow.
CAUTION!
Additional running indication signals are not evaluated during the start of a gas engine. The
Pickup must be used in any case!
5. The maximum duration the starter motor is energized is determined by the setpoint MaxCrank
Time. If the engine does not start within this period, the starter motor and fuel solenoid are de-
energized and a pause with a length determined by CrnkFail Pause will follow. Prestart output
and ignition remain active during the pause. After the pause has elapsed, the next start
attempt is executed. The number of start attempts is given by the setpoint Crank Attempts.
6. Once the engine is started, the Idle period follows. The binary output Idle/Nominal remains
inactive (as it was during the start). The idle period duration is adjusted by the setpoint Idle
Time.
7. After the idle period has finished, the output Idle/Nominal is activated and the start-up
sequence is finished. The stabilization phase follows.

NOTE:
The starting sequence will be interrupted at any time if a stop command comes.
NOTE:
The Underspeed protection starts to be evaluated 5 after the engine has been started (according to
point 4).
NOTE:
When the engine is started (according to point 4) the delay given by the setpoint ProtectHoldOff will
count down. After it has elapsed, the protections configured as engine running only will start to be
evaluated.
6.5 Stabilization
When the start-up sequence is finished, the gen-set goes into the stabilization phase. There are two
timers (setpoints) in this phase:
1. Min Stab Time starts to count down just after the idle period has finished. Generator voltage
and frequency are not checked (respective protections are not evaluated) and the GCB
cannot be closed even if the generator voltage and frequency are within limits.
2. Max Stab Time starts to count down just after the idle period has finished. Generator voltage
and frequency are not checked (respective protections are not evaluated) but, opposite to the
previous timer, the GCB can be closed (or synchronizing started) if generator voltage and
frequency are within limits.
In situations where the GCB is closed automatically (AUT, TEST modes), the closing of GCB or
starting of synchronization will occur in the first moment when the generator voltage and frequency will
get into limits and the Min Stab Time has already elapsed.
In the event that the generator voltage or frequency are not within limits within the Max Stab Time
period, the appropriate protection(s) will be activated and the gen-set will be cooled down and
stopped.
NOTE:
The limits for the generator voltage and frequency are given by setpoints in the Gener protect group.
NOTE:
The value of the Min Stab Time setpoint must be lower than the value of Max Stab Time setpoint.
The gen-set is running and the Min Stab Time timer has elapsed.
The gen-set voltage and frequency are within limits.
NOTE:
NT
InteliCompact , SW version 1.4
InteliCompact-NT-1.4-Reference Guide-r4.pdf, ©ComAp – April 2013 93
The governor and AVR must be adjusted properly to achieve these limits as the controller does not
perform any regulation and the regulation outputs have constant values given by the AVRi Bias and
Speed Gov Bias setpoints.
There are two ways to connect the gen-set to the load (bus bar). This depends on the state of MCB
feedback and on the measured mains/bus voltage.
NOTE:
There also is a protection of “Bus power loss sensing”. The “Bus Measure Error” is detected in MINT
application when the voltage on the controller’s bus terminals is out of limits 20 seconds after:
a) GCB (own) was closed in MAN or AUT mode
b) MCB (feedback) was closed in AUT mode
c) Any other GCB in power management group (on CAN bus) was closed.
The alarm is activated after 20s. However, the GCB (own) closing is blocked immediately for safety
reasons.
This protection can avoid e.g. potential direct closing of GCB while the controller’s bus conductor are
unintentionally unplugged from the terminals.
6.6.2 Synchronizing
SPtM: If the MCB is closed, the bus bar is considered to have identical voltage as measured on the
mains. If the mains voltage/frequency is within limits, the gen-set is first synchronized with the mains
and then the GCB is closed.
MINT: If the measured bus voltage is within limits, the gen-set is first synchronized with the bus and
then the GCB is closed.
The synchronizing consists of voltage matching and frequency/angle matching. The maximum
duration of synchronizing is given by the setpoint Sync Timeout. If the synchronizing is not successful
within this period of time, the Sync Timeout alarm will be issued.
NOTE:
The synchronization will be interrupted automatically if any of the necessary conditions disappear
during the synchronization process.
When the controller starts to synchronize (the event will change to “Synchro”) and the Main Measuring
screen is displayed, it will be automatically change to the Synchroscope screen for the entire duration
of synchronization. After synchronization the Synchroscope screen is automatically changed back to
the Main Measuring screen.
NOTE:
NT
InteliCompact , SW version 1.4
InteliCompact-NT-1.4-Reference Guide-r4.pdf, ©ComAp – April 2013 94
It is also possible to change screens manually (arrows Up and Down) after displaying the
Synchroscope screen. In this case there is no automatic return to the Main Measuring screen after
synchronization is finished.
NOTE:
The matching loops will continue to run even if the GCB close command has been already issued until
the controller receives GCB feedback or a GCB fail alarm occurs. After the feedback has been
received, the control loops are switched to load and power factor loops or load and power factor
sharing respectively.

6.7.4 Object load dependent auto start
The gen-set can start and stop automatically according to the object load. To enable this function, the
setpoint PeakAutS/S del must not be set to 0 (OFF). An automatic start will occur if the object exceeds
the limit given by the setpoint PeakLevelStart and remains exceeded for a period longer than
PeakAutS/S del. If the object load drops below PeakLevelStop, the gen-set will be stopped with the
same delay as during start. The gen-set load is controlled according to the selected mode (see
above).
NOTE:
The gen-set will continue to run if the binary input Rem Start/Stop is active.

When a stop command is received – e.g. the binary input Sys Start/Stop is deactivated or the STOP
button is pressed – the GCB will be opened and the gen-set will go to cool down phase.
NOTE:
When using the GCB button in MAN mode, the gen-set will not go to cool down and stop.
6.9.1.2 Changeover
The changeover is performed if the reverse synchronizing is disabled with the RevSyncDisable binary
input.
The GCB is opened first and after a time period of Transfer Del the MCB is closed.
1. The common bus bar is dead due to opened MCB or there are no mains at all and the group
of gen-sets has been activated, or
2. The group was running parallel to mains and the MCB has been opened.
NOTE:
The controller in MINT application does not control the MCB! Only the MCB position is evaluated from
the binary input MCB Feedback and the position is the basic source of information for switching
between island and parallel to mains operation.
If the bus bar is empty, the first gen-set will close its GCB without synchronizing. Following gen-sets
will synchronize to the already energized bus bar. In the event that multiple gen-sets start
simultaneously and the bus bar is empty, the system will prevent closing of multiple GCBs to the bus
bar without synchronizing. Instead of this, one of the gen-sets will close the GCB and energize the bus
bar and the others will wait and then synchronize to the bus bar.
When a stop command is received, e.g. from the power management or binary input Sys Start/Stop is
deactivated or the STOP button is pressed, the GCB will be opened and the gen-set will go to cool
down phase.
NOTE:
Using the GCB button in MAN mode the gen-set will not go to cool down and stop.

Continue to the cool down and stop phase.
Power management based on absolute reserves can be successfully used also for cases where the
load portions are similar to the gen-set capacity or even bigger. The goal of the absolute reserve mode
is that the system provides always the same reserve power capacity independent of how many
gen-sets are currently running and this why this mode perfectly fits for industrial plants with large
loads.
6.11.2 Basics
The setpoint Pwr Management enables and disables the gen-set to be active within the power
management of the group and make automatic load demand start and stop. If the power
management is disabled, the gen-set will run or not depending only on the binary input Sys
Start/Stop and the start and stop will not depend on the load of the group.
The binary input Sys Start/Stop activates and deactivates the gen-set. If the input is not active,
the gen-set will stop with delay #SysAMFstopDel after the input has been deactivated and will
not start again. It can be started in MAN mode only. When the input is activated again, the
delay #SysAMFstrtDel will start to count down and after that the gen-set is activated and can
start due to power management.
NOTE:
The gen-set will take part of the power management (= will be active) only if the controller is in AUT
mode!
NOTE:
The gen-set performs load and VAR sharing whenever it is connected to the busbar i.e. it is
independent on whether the controller is in AUT or MAN mode or whether the power management is
active or not.

6.11.3 Reserves, minimal running power
∑
The value ( ∑
) [%] is called relative reserve. It is the difference between the
actual relative load and 100%.
The value ∑ ∑ [kW] is called absolute reserve. It is the difference between the
actual load of the group and the nominal capacity of currently loaded gen-sets.
Running ActPwr = the sum of the actual load of all active gen-sets within the group, that
∑ are connected to the bus. In parallel to mains operation and baseload mode the
baseload level is used in the equation instead of the actual gen-sets load.
Running NomPwr = the sum of the nominal power of all active gen-sets within the
∑
group, that are connected to the bus.
If the current system reserve drops below the adjusted reserve for start, the delay
#NextStrt Del will start to count down on the gen-sets, which have decided to start. If the
reserve remains under the limit for the entire countdown period, the gen-set(s) will start.
If the system reserve drops below zero (i.e. the system is overloaded), the delay
#OverldNext Del will start to count down on the gen-sets, which have decided to start. If the
reserve remains under the limit for the whole countdown period, the gen-set(s) will start.
If the system reserve goes above over the adjusted reserve for stop, the delay
#NextStopDel will start to count down on the gen-sets, which have decided to stop. If the
reserve still remains over the limit, the gen-sets will stop.
There are two pairs of setpoints for adjusting reserves for start and stop. Normally the pair
#LoadResStrt 1 and #LoadResStop 1 is active. By the binary input Load Reserve 2 the
second pair #LoadResStrt 2 and #LoadResStop 2 is activated.
With adjusting nonzero value to the setpoint #Min Run Power and activating the function by
binary input Min Run Power, it is possible to limit the number of running gen-sets so that the
total nominal power of the loaded gen-sets will never drop below this level even if the reserve
for stop is fulfilled.
NOTE:
If the setpoint is adjusted to maximum, the function will force all gen-sets to run.
6.11.4 Priorities
The priority of the gen-set within the group is determined by the setpoint Priority. A lower
number represents “higher” priority, i.e. a gen-set with a lower number will start before another
one with higher number.
If the binary input Top Priority is active, the gen-set gets highest priority (0) independent of the
setpoint setting.
If more than one gen-set have the same priority, they will act as “one big” gen-set.
NOTE:
It is possible to switch automatically priorities of the gen-sets by using the Run Hours Equalization
function which can be set up in the #RunHrsMaxDiff setpoint.
The controller will decide to start the gen-set at the moment when the reserve has dropped
below the reserve for start and the gen-sets with higher priorities (lower priority numbers), that
are available for power management, do not have enough capacity to get the reserve back
over the start level or cannot fulfil the adjusted minimal running power
NT

The controller will decide to stop the gen-set at the moment when the reserve has increased
over the reserve for stop and the gen-sets with higher priorities (lower priority numbers), that
are available for power management, have enough capacity to keep the reserve over the start
level and also can fulfil the adjusted minimal running power
NOTE:
When evaluating the stop condition, the controller computes actual reserve without taking in account
its own nominal power, i.e. it evaluates how the reserve will be if the respective gen-set stops.

If a Shutdown or BOC alarm occurs, the gen-set will be taken out from the power
management and the next gen-set will start if necessary.
If a Slow stop alarm occurs, the gen-set will be taken out from the power management, but the
alarm will be suppressed for a definite period of time to give the next gen-set chance to start
and connect to the bus to get the reserve back over the start level. The alarm is suppressed
until the reserve gets back over the start level (this can occur either because the next gen-set
has connected to the bus or the load has decreased) or the timeout given by the setpoint
#SlowStopDel has elapsed. The alarm will not be suppressed if there is no other available
gen-set that can start.

6.12.3 The AMF procedure
When the mains failure is detected, the following steps are performed:
4. If the setpoint MCB Opens On is set to GENRUN, the MCB is opened once the generator
voltage is within limits.
5. If the mains are restored to health and the gen-set is still not connected to the load, the
controller interrupts the startup process and closes back the MCB.
6. The GCB is closed and the gen-set begins to supply the load.
7. After the mains are restored to normal, the timer MainsReturnDel begins to count down and
when finished, either reverse synchronizing or switchover is performed. This depends on the
binary input RevSyncDisable. If active, switchover is performed instead of reverse
synchronizing.
8. Maximum time between closing of GCB and opening MCB is given by the setpoint
BreakerOverlap.
9. If no demand for parallel operation is active (binary input Rem Start/Stop), the GCB is opened
and the gen-set cools down and a stop follows.
NOTE:
For a description of how to make a test of AMF function, see the chapter operating modes, TEST
mode paragraph.
Duration of the cool down phase is determined by the setpoint Cooling Time.
Cooling is performed either at nominal speed (generator voltage and frequency protections
are evaluated) or at idle speed (generator voltage and frequency protections are not
evaluated). Selection of the speed is done by the setpoint Cooling Speed.
The cool down can be finished manually in MAN mode by pressing the STOP button.
If a new start request comes, the cool down will be interrupted and the gen-set will go back to
the stabilization phase. If the cooling was at nominal speed, the stabilization timers will not
count down again so the GCB is immediately ready to be closed.
When the cool down is finished, the output Fuel Solenoid is de-energized and Stop Solenoid is
energized. The engine will stop within the time period determined by the setpoint Stop Time. If the
engine does not stop within this time, the alarm Stop fail will be issued.
The output Stop Solenoid is energized until the engine is stopped, but at least for the duration of Stop
Time. If the Stop time has elapsed and the engine has still not stopped, the stop solenoid is de-
energized for 5 s and then energized again for max. Stop time and this repeats until the engine is
stopped.
The output Ignition is continuously energized until the engine is stopped.

2) The alarm is evaluated only when the engine is running. This type should be used
for e.g. oil pressure. These alarms begin to be evaluated after the engine has been
started with the delay given by the setpoint ProtectHoldOff.
3) The alarm is evaluated only when the generator is excited. These alarms begin to be
evaluated after the engine has been started and Max Stab Time has elapsed or the
GCB has been closed. They remain evaluated until cooling has finished. Only
Generator under/overvoltage, Generator voltage unbalance and Generator
under/overfrequency belong to this category. This category is not configurable to
binary and analog input alarms.
If an alarm is being evaluated and the appropriate alarm condition is fulfilled, the delay of
evaluation will start to run. The delay is adjustable by a setpoint (in the case of built-in alarms,
analog input alarms) or is fixed to 500ms (in the case of binary input alarms). If the conditions
persist, the alarm will activate. The alarm will not activate if the condition is dismissed while
the delay is still running.
After pressing the Fault reset button or activating the binary input FaultResButton, all active
alarms change to confirmed state. Confirmed alarms will disappear from the Alarmlist as soon
as the respective condition dismisses. If the condition is dismissed before acknowledging the
alarm, the alarm will remain in the Alarmlist as Inactive. See also the Browsing alarms
chapter.
NOTE:
The input Sd Override can be used for temporary disabling of red alarms to shutdown the engine. This
input may be used in situations where providing the power is extremely important – e.g. if the gen-set
drives pumps for fire extinguishers (sprinklers).
Active alarm: the alarm condition persists, alarm delay has elapsed.
Inactive alarm: the alarm condition has disappeared, but the alarm has not been confirmed.
Confirmed alarm: the alarm condition persists, but the alarm has already been confirmed.

NOTE:
In the MINT application if the power management is active and a slow stop alarm occurs, the controller
will wait until another gen-set is started (if there is at least one available) before unloading and
stopping the gen-set. The maximum time the controller will wait is given by the setpoint #SlowStopDel.
CAUTION!
The gen-set can start by itself after acknowledging the alarms if there is no longer an active red alarm
and the controller is in AUT or TEST mode!

6.14.7 Alarmlist
Alarmlist is a container of active and inactive alarms. It will appear automatically on the controller
display, if a new alarm occurs, or can be displayed manually from the display menu
It can contain up to 16 alarms, but the first 7 are visible on the screen. If it is full, recently
coming alarms are not displayed.
Active alarms are shown as inverted, not yet confirmed alarms are marked with asterisk
before them.
An alarm message in the alarmlist begins with a prefix, which represents the alarm type
(e.g. WRN). Then the alarm name follows. In some cases the prefix can be omitted.
NOTE:
The Alarmlist can be read out from the controller via Modbus. See the Modbus description chapter.
NOTE:
The ECU AlarmList is visible only if an ECU is configured.

6.19.3 Regulation control loops overview
Prepare the system for adjustment, i.e. set the limits for related alarms temporarily to values
which will disable the alarms, set the synchro timeout to the maximum value, etc.
Adjust the gain to 5% and integration to 0%.
Switch the gen-set to MAN mode, start it and put it into the operation phase, where the
appropriate regulation loop is active.
Increase the gain slightly until the controlled quantity starts to oscillate. Then put it back to
approx. one half of the value where the oscillations started.
NT
InteliCompact , SW version 1.4
InteliCompact-NT-1.4-Reference Guide-r4.pdf, ©ComAp – April 2013 116
Increase the integrative factor slightly to achieve acceptable response to changes. Too small
an I-factor will cause an excessively slow response, while too high an I-factor will cause
overshooting or even oscillations.
NOTE:
It may be helpful to disable issuing the GCB close command when adjusting synchronization loops.
Adjust the setpoint Phase Window to 0 to disable it. Adjust the setpoint back to its original value after
the adjustment is finished.
CAUTION!
Be ready to press the emergency stop button in the event that the regulation loop starts to behave
unacceptably.

7 Setpoints
Setpoints are analog, binary or special data objects which are used for adjusting the controller to the
specific environment. Setpoints are organized into groups according to their meaning. Setpoints can
be adjusted from the controller front panel, PC, MODBUS, etc.
CAUTION!
Do not write setpoints repeatedly (e.g. power control from a PLC by repeated writing of baseload
setpoint via Modbus) The setpoints are stored in EEPROM memory, which can be overwritten up to
5
10 times without risk of damage or data loss, but it may become damaged, when the allowed number
of writing cycles is exceeded!

8 Values
Values (or quantities) are analog or binary data objects, measured or computed by the controller, that
are intended for reading from the controller screen, PC, MODBUS, etc. Values are organized into
groups according to their meaning.
NOTE:
A complete overview of all data objects available in the controller can be exported by LiteEdit into a
text file. Open any connection (also offline with a previously saved archive) and go to the menu
Controller -> Generate CFG image.
The value is not being evaluated in the scope of the current application and configuration.
Sensor fail has been detected on an analog input.
The configured ECU or extension module does not provide the particular value.
The communication with the ECU or extension module is interrupted.
A value containing the invalid flag is displayed as “####” in LiteEdit and on the controller screen. If
such a value is read out via Modbus, it will contain the data 32768 in the case of signed values and
65535 in the case of unsigned values.

11.2.2 Modem setup procedure
Analog modems obviously do not require any setup. The only case in which setup could be necessary
is if the modem has been bought in a country with a telephony system different than the target country
where the modem will be used.
GSM modems need to be set up prior to using them with the controller. Use the gm_setup program
(installed together with LiteEdit) to perform initial setup of the modem. See the latest Inteli
Communication Guide (available on the ComAp web site) for details. The setup must be done while a
SIM card is inserted.
NOTE:
It is always recommended to use modems bought in and approved for the target country.

11.3.3 Using a web browser
The IB-Lite module with firmware version 1.1 and above makes it possible to use any web browser for
basic monitoring and adjustment of the controller. Direct your web browser to the IP address of the
module, e.g. http://192.168.1.254 and then enter the access code.
The default settings of the module are IP = 192.168.1.254, Netmask = 255.255.255.0 and
Gateway = 192.168.1.1. The default password for service webpages is “comap” (or “0”).
To restore the default settings, close the “restore default setting” jumper located on the module before
switching the controller on and remove it few seconds after the controller has been switched on.
NOTE:
The default settings can be changed directly from the controller panel by pressing the “Page” button
and using ▼, ▲ and “Enter” to get to the “Comms Settings” menu (THIS APPLIES TO FIRMWARE VERSIONS
1.3 AND HIGHER).
11.3.4.1 Configuration
1. Plug the module into the controller and power the controller on.
2. Connect the module into your Ethernet network. If the default address does not match local
network parameters (i.e. the network segment does not use the IP range 192.168.1.xxx or the
IP 192.168.1.254 is occupied), connect the module directly to your PC using a cross-wired
cable. See details in the Installation chapter.
3. If you are connected directly, you have to change temporarily the IP address and subnet mask
of your PC Ethernet connection. Use the following settings: DHCP disabled, IP from the range
192.168.1.1 – 192.168.1.253 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0. After the IB-Lite setup is
finished, restore your PC setting back to the original values.
4. Start a web browser and direct it to http://192.168.1.254/sp_config.htm.
5. After a successful login the configuration page will be displayed.
6. It is recommended to change the user name and password and keep the new values
confidential.
7. Consult your IT specialist for proper IP settings.
8. Consult your e-mail provider for proper e-mail settings. Note that also most public SMTP
servers require authentication and e-mails must be sent from an existing address.
9. If you want to enable access only for clients with a specified IP address, tick the checkbox
“Trusted clients” and fill-in the allowed IP addresses.
NOTE:
See also the latest LiteEdit Reference Guide (available on the ComAp web site) for more information
about IB-Lite setup.
NOTE:
Interrupting the upload will NOT cause any damage. Just repeat the upload again.

module.
1. IL-NT RS232
2. IL-NT RS232-485
3. IB-Lite (Modbus/TCP)
The setpoint COM1 Mode (RS232) resp. COM2 Mode (RS485, Ethernet) must be set to the MODBUS
position. The speed of MODBUS communication for RS232 and RS485 can be adjusted by the
setpoint ModbusCommSpeed. In the case of IB-Lite adjust this setpoint to 57600 bps. See a more
detailed description of the MODBUS protocol in a separate chapter.
11.3.8 AirGate
technology for easy plug-and-play wireless communication is incorporated into the product. An
ordinary SIM card with GPRS service is suitable for this system. This overcomes problems with the
necessity for a special SIM card (fixed and public IP), firewalls and difficult communication settings.

11.4 Modbus protocol
The Modbus protocol can be activated on the RS232 or RS485 port. The physical link parameters are:
8 data bits
1 stop bit
no parity
communication speed selectable by the setpoint ModbusComSpeed
The Modbus/TCP protocol uses the TCP/IP frames as the transport layer for Modbus frames. This
protocol is available via the IB-Lite module on port 502.
The following features from the Modbus specification are supported:
The response to an incoming message depends on the communication speed. The delay is not
shorter than the time needed to send/receive 3,5 characters. See the latest Inteli Communication
Guide (available on the ComAp web site) for details and examples.
The complete description of the Modbus communication protocol can be found in the Modbus Protocol
Reference Guide PI-MBUS-300 and Open Modbus Specification Release 1.0. Both documents are
available on the web.
NOTE:
The complete list of available registers can be obtained from LiteEdit. Open an online connection to
the controller or open offline an archive and go to the menu Controller -> Generate Cfg image to get
the register list.

case of some failure, which disables the gen-set to be controlled by the
controller, but the gen-set itself is operational.
The controller behaves in the following way:
Shows the text EmergMan in the engine status on the main screen.
Stops all functions regarding the gen-set control, deactivates all
outputs related to it.
Stop Fail alarm is not being evaluated and stop solenoid is not
activated if nonzero speed is detected.
When the input is deactivated, the controller takes control over the
gen-set according to the situation the gen-set was in the moment of
deactivation, i.e. the gen-set remains running loaded if it was running
and GCB was closed in the moment the input was deactivated.

Alarmlist message Bus Measure Error
Alarm evaluated All the time
Related MINT
applications
Description The “Bus Measure Error” is detected in MINT application when the voltage on
the controller’s bus terminals is out of limits 20 after:
a) GCB (own) was closed in MAN or AUT mode
b) MCB (feedback) was closed in AUT mode
c) Any other GCB in power management group (on CAN bus)
was closed.
The alarm is activated after 20 s. However, the GCB (own) closing is blocked
immediately for safety reasons.
This protection can avoid e.g. potential direct closing of GCB while the
controller’s bus conductors are unintentionally unplugged from the terminals.
