General Information 1-3

Communications Interfaces

The CGCM has three communication ports:

– Redundant ControlNet connector

– RS-232 port for dedicated communication with a redundant
CGCM
– RS-232 port for factory configuration and test (not for
customer use)

Application Introduction

In the typical application shown in Figure 1-1, the CGCM controls the
exciter field of a synchronous generator. CGCM operation, settings,
and safety setup procedures in this manual should be studied before
implementing your application.

Crosscurrent Compensation

Two or more paralleled generators can operate in crosscurrent

compensation (reactive differential) mode. Figure 3.4 shows a typical
connection diagram for two paralleled generators using the five
ampere sensing input range on the ac current input.

The crosscurrent compensation terminals are located on TB3 and are

labeled ID(-) and ID(+). One and five amp terminals are provided.
