INPUTS
There are seven types of inputs to the DGC-1000 Controller. They are: Operating (Battery) DC Power Contact Sensing Sending Units Speed Signals Voltage Sensing Current Sensing Serial Communications RS-232 Port
The following paragraphs describe these inputs. Battery Operating Voltage Required operating voltage is a nominal 12 or 24 Vdc. Operating voltage may be in the range of 8 to 32 Vdc. An internal switching power supply uses the battery voltage to generate a +12 Vdc, -12 Vdc, +5 Vdc, a stable +5 Vdc reference, and an isolated +5 Vdc. The isolated +5 Vdc supply is for the RS-232 serial communications port. The dc reference voltage is for internal use. Battery operating voltage is conditioned (filtered and reduced to a level suitable for microprocessor input) and sensed by the microprocessor. Contact Sensing Inputs Four external contact sensing inputs (Emergency Stop, Automatic Transfer Switch, Low Coolant Level, and Battery Charger Failure) provide external stimulus to the DGC-1000 Controller. Emergency Stop This input is continuously monitored. An open circuit indicates an Emergency Stop. Opening this circuit removes power from all output relays. Automatic Transfer Switch This input is continuously monitored by the microprocessor and is used to start the engine when in the auto mode. A closed contact initiates the start sequence. Low Coolant Level This input is continuously monitored by the microprocessor. When battery (-) potential is connected to this input, a low coolant level is indicated. Battery Charger Failure This input is continuously monitored by the microprocessor. When battery (-) potential is connected to this input, a battery charger failure is indicated. Transducer Inputs Coolant Temperature A current of less than 20 milliamperes is provided to the coolant temperature transducer (sending unit). The developed voltage is measured and scaled for use by the internal circuitry. Oil Pressure A current of less than 20 milliamperes is provided to the oil pressure transducer. The developed voltage is measured and scaled for use by the internal circuitry. Fuel Level And Fuel Leak A current of less than 20 milliamperes is provided to the fuel level transducer. The developed voltage is measured and scaled for use by the internal circuitry. The internal fuel level transducer failure circuitry and the fuel leak detector also use this input. An open circuit across these terminals will indicate a failed 3-2 DGC-1000 Functional Description
fuel level transducer. A resistance of less than 5 ohms is used to indicate either a failed fuel level transducer or a fuel leak detector contact closure. Speed Signal Inputs Generator Voltage The voltage from the monitored generator is scaled and conditioned for use by the internal circuitry as a speed signal source circuitry. Differential amplifiers provide isolation for these inputs. Magnetic Pickup The voltage from the magnetic pickup is scaled and conditioned for use by the internal circuitry as a speed signal source. Voltage Inputs Monitored generator voltages are sensed and scaled to levels suitable for use by the internal circuitry. Differential amplifiers provide isolation for these inputs. Internal circuitry selects line-to-line, line-to-neutral or single-phase values. Menu selections by the user determine these switch settings. Current Inputs Monitored generator currents are sensed and scaled to values suitable for use by the internal circuitry. Internal current transformers provide isolation. Two taps on the primary of these transformers accommodate either one or five ampere circuits. Serial Communications Input This serial communications link connects via optically isolated circuitry to the microprocessor. Enhanced access to device setup is available through this port. BESTCOMS-DGC1000-32 software provides easy access to these functions. Optional Contact Sensing Inputs If the DGC-1000 has the auxiliary input and output option, there are four programmable contact sensing inputs. Each input is designed to accept a normally open contact. The contact is connected between the input and battery minus. These inputs may be programmed through the BESTCOMS PC program with an up to eight character name and as alarm, pre-alarm, or neither outputs. The default names are AUX IN 1, AUX IN 2, AUX IN 3, and AUX IN 4. When the contact sensing input is closed, the front panel display shows the name of the closed input if it was programmed as alarm or pre-alarm. If neither is programmed, no indication is given on the front panel display. Programming the input as neither is useful when a call to a pager without an alarm or pre-alarm is necessary or to close additional contacts using the auxiliary outputs.
MICROPROCESSOR
Software programmed in the erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM) controls the overall functionality of the device and makes all decisions based on programming and system inputs. Formulas that are used to determine the various calculated quantities and circuits related to microprocessor inputs are described in the follow paragraphs. Formulas Formulas used in calculating the various quantities are provided in the following paragraphs. For line-to-neutral (VL-N) voltage sensing:

kW:
Power Factor (PF) = Cosine of the measured angle between voltage and current zero crossings Related Circuits Zero Crossing Detection The zero crossing of the A phase voltage or A to B line voltage and the B phase current is detected and used to calculate the phase angle between the current and voltage. This zero crossing is also used to measure the generator frequency. Signal Switching Solid state switches, under microprocessor control, select the voltage or current sensing signal that is applied to the RMS to dc converter. The resulting signal is sent to the twelve bit analog-to-digital converter where it is digitized for use by the microprocessor. RMS To DC Converter Scaled and conditioned signals representing the voltage and current sensing inputs are used as the input to the RMS to dc converter. This converter output is a dc level proportional to the RMS value of the input. Analog To Digital Converter Signals from the RMS to dc converter, coolant temperature sensing input, fuel level sensing input, and the oil pressure sensing input are digitized by the twelve-bit analog to digital converter. The digitized information is stored in random access memory (RAM). This information is used by the microprocessor for all metering and protection functions.
OUTPUTS
Each output relay is controlled by the microprocessor and the emergency stop contact input. All outputs are electrically isolated from each other and from the internal circuitry. Two outputs (start and fuel solenoid) are associated with engine cranking functions. The remaining four outputs (Figure 3-1) are associated with the various features and pre-start. Emergency Stop Contact Input Interaction When the emergency stop contact input is open, all output contacts open. When the emergency stop contact input is closed and a signal is given by the microprocessor, the output contacts close Remote Display Panel When the DGC-1000 is combined with the RDP-110, many of the alarm and pre-alarm conditions are indicated remotely. The following alarms are indicated by LEDs and an audible alarm on the RDP-110: low coolant level, high coolant temperature, low oil pressure, overcrank, overspeed, emergency stop, fuel leak/fuel level sender failure, and engine sender unit failure. The following pre-alarms are also displayed on the RDP-110: high coolant temperature, low coolant temperature, low oil pressure, low fuel level, battery overvoltage, weak battery, and battery charger failure. In addition to these alarms and pre-alarms, the RDP-110 also indicates when the RUN/OFF/AUTO switch is not in auto and when the EPS is supplying load.

Optional Auxiliary Outputs If the DGC-1000 has the auxiliary input and output option, there are eight programmable output contacts. These outputs may be programmed through the BESTCOMS PC program to close when any of the selected inputs is active. Multiple outputs may be programmed to close when a single input is active. Also, multiple inputs may be programmed to close a single output.
PHONE MODEMS
Two modem boards with dial-in, dial-out capability are available as optional equipment on the DGC-1000. The standard modem is rated from 0C to 50C. The extended operating temperature range modem is rated from -40C to 70C. With the optional phone modem boards, the DCG-1000 can dial out to inform a pager that an alarm or pre-alarm condition has occurred. Up to four phone numbers can be dialed in sequence until an answer is received. The modem supplied with the DGC-1000 is registered with the FCC under part 68. Type of Service The DGC-1000 is designed to be used on standard device telephone lines and connects to the telephone line by means of a standard jack called the USOC RJ-11C. Connection to telephone company provided coin service (central office implemented systems) is prohibited. Connection to party lines service are subject to state tariffs. Telephone Company Procedures The goal of the telephone company is to provide you with the best service it can. In order to do this, it may occasionally be necessary for them to make changes in their equipment, operations or procedures. These changes might affect your service or the operation of your equipment, the telephone company will give you notice, in writing, to allow you to make any changes necessary to maintain uninterrupted service. In certain circumstances, it may be necessary for the telephone company to request information from you concerning the equipment, which you have connected to your telephone line. Upon request of the telephone company, provide the FCC registration number and the ringer equivalence number (REN); both items are listed on the label on the modem on the rear of the DGC-1000. The sum of all of the RENs on your telephone lines should be less than five in order to assure proper service from the telephone company. In some cases, a sum of five may not be usable on a given line. If Problems Arise If any of your telephone equipment is not operating properly, you should immediately remove it from your telephone line because it may cause harm to the telephone network. If the telephone company notes a problem, they may temporarily disconnect service. When practical, they will notify you in advance of this disconnection. If advance notice is not feasible, you will be notified as soon as possible. When you are notified, you will be given the opportunity to correct the problem and informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC. Contact your telephone company if you have any questions about your telephone line.
SOFTWARE
Software embedded in the DGC-1000 controls all aspects of device functionality. This comprises powerup initialization, front panel set up and configuration, input contact status monitoring, protective function detection and annunciation, system parameter monitoring, output contact status control, and RS-232 serial communications. Cooldown Timer In the Auto mode, this feature allows the engine to cool down by running unloaded for a programmed period of time. The cooldown period of 0 to 60 minutes is programmed from the BESTCOMS software in 5-minute increments. This cooldown period will start when the load is removed. If load is removed from the generator prior to the ATS contact opening, the timer will start and continue to count while the ATS contact opens. At the time of the ATS contact opening, the remaining time of the cooldown timer will be DGC-1000 Functional Description 3-5
used and once the total remaining time is consumed the engine will shutdown. A setting of 0 is used when no cooldown period is desired. Speed Source Failure This function monitors the signal from the speed signal source selected from the BESTCOMS software. If only one source is selected and the signal from that source is lost, an alarm and a shutdown occurs and SPEED SIGNAL SOURCE FAILURE is displayed on the LCD display. If both magnetic pickup and generator voltage are selected as speed signal sources and the magnetic pickup unit (MPU) fails, the DGC-1000 will switch to using generator voltage as the speed signal source and the LCD display will alternate between displaying the run time and MPU on the display. If the generator voltage signal also fails, an alarm and shutdown occurs. This function checks for the presence of a signal only; it is not a sender continuity check. Cranking The DGC is programmable for either cycle crank or continuous crank. If cycle cranking is chosen, the number of crank cycles allowed before the system shuts down can be selected. A crank cycle is defined as 5 to 15 seconds of crank followed by an equal number of seconds of rest, selectable in 1 second increments. The maximum number of cycles the DGC-1000 will allow is 7. If NFPA 100 Level 1 is chosen, the number of crank cycles is 5. If a delay to crank feature has been selected, the DGC will close the pre-start contact upon receipt of a start command. The pre-start contact is programmable to either remain energized or to drop out after the delay has expired. Figure 3-2 illustrates one normal and four abnormal engine starts (crank curves).

Figure 3-2. Normal And Abnormal Engine Crank Curves Abnormal Start Curve One This curve shows the typical cycle crank when a start signal is received. When the signal is received the fuel solenoid and start contacts close and engine speed begins to increase. The fuel solenoid and start contacts remain closed until the crank cycle time is met. The start contact will open if the prime mover speed increases past the crank disconnect speed setting. The fuel solenoid contact remains closed above the crank disconnect speed. If the prime mover fails to start after the prescribed time, the rest 3-6 DGC-1000 Functional Description
timer is started and the starter solenoid and fuel solenoid contacts are opened. The crank cycle is repeated until the prime mover speed increases past the crank disconnect setpoint or the programmed number of crank cycles has been met and an overcrank condition occurs. Abnormal Start Curve Two This curve shows a failure to start condition. The prime mover reaches the crank disconnect setpoint but fails to start. If this condition occurs, the DGC1000 has cranked the engine through one cycle of crank time and the engine is coasting down to a stop. After the rest period time has expired, the DGC1000 will continue to cycle crank for the remainder of the crank cycles or the engine starts. Abnormal Start Curve Three This curve shows an engine start but the engine fails to reach rated speed. If this condition occurs, the start contact opens and the engine continues to run until it is turned off. Abnormal Start Curve Four This curve shows a typical overspeed occurrence. If this condition occurs, the engine, upon reaching the overspeed setpoint, will be shut down by the DGC1000 opening the fuel solenoid contact and annunciate an alarm by closing the alarm contact. Normal Start Curve Five This curve shows a typical normal start and run condition. When this occurs, the start contact opens after the prime mover passes through the crank disconnect speed setpoint. The engine speed increases until the 100% setpoint is reached. Alarms Reset of all alarms can only be done locally by setting the Auto/Off/Run switch to the OFF position. All alarm conditions will light a red LED (labeled Alarm) along with displaying the condition on the LCD screen and sounding the optional audible alarm. All alarms have a common Form A contact. When an alarm condition occurs, the display indicates the cause of the alarm, the form A Alarm contact closes, and the fuel solenoid contact opens which shuts down the engine. Overcrank Alarm When the crank timer times out, cranking terminates. At that time, the common alarm contacts close and the LCD displays the message OVERCRANK and the current overcrank setting. Overspeed Alarm If the engine speed exceeds the overspeed value programmed by the BESTCOMS software and continues until the programmed delay time expires, an overspeed alarm occurs. At that time, the common alarm contact closes and the LCD displays the message OVERSPEED and the current overspeed setting. High Coolant Temperature Alarm If the engine coolant temperature exceeds the level programmed by the BESTCOMS software, an alarm occurs. At that time, the common alarm contact closes and the LCD displays the message HIGH COOLANT TEMP and the current high coolant temperature setting. Low Oil Pressure Alarm If the oil pressure decreases below the low oil pressure alarm setting programmed by the BESTCOMS software, an alarm occurs. At that time, the common alarm contact closes and the LCD displays the message LOW OIL PRESSURE and the current low oil pressure alarm setting. Engine Sender Fault Alarm If a failure of an engine sender (transducer) is enabled by the BESTCOMS software and a failure occurs, an alarm occurs. At that time, the common alarm contact closes and the LCD displays the message SENDER FAILURE and the failed sender. If a short circuit is detected across the fuel level transducer/fuel leak detector input, the message SENDER FAIL/FUEL LEAK is displayed. DGC-1000 Functional Description 3-7
Low Fuel Level Alarm If the fuel level decreases below the low fuel level alarm setting programmed by the BESTCOMS software, an alarm occurs. At that time, the common alarm contact closes and the LCD displays the message LOW FUEL LEVEL and the current low fuel level alarm setting. Low Coolant Level Alarm This alarm will shut down the engine when a loss of coolant is detected via low coolant level contact input. At that time, the common alarm contact closes and the LCD displays the message LOW COOLANT LEVEL. Pre-Alarms All pre-alarms are reset by correcting the cause of the pre-alarm. All pre-alarm conditions illuminate the red alarm LED with a 50% duty cycle at a frequency of 0.5 hertz and sounding the optional audible alarm at the same rate. All pre-alarms have a common Form A contact. The LCD displays all pre-alarms in the following manner: Low Oil Pressure, High Coolant Temperature, and Battery Voltage pre-alarms are shown on the main display with their current values alternately flashing with a dark field at a frequency of 0.5 hertz and a duty cycle of 50%. All other pre-alarms are individually displayed in sequence, using the alternate main display mode, whereby each pre-alarm value is alternately flashed with a dark field at a frequency of 0.5 hertz and a duty cycle of 50%. All pre-alarmed parameters are displayed in this manner before non-pre-alarmed parameters. Using a PC and the BESTCOMS software, the customer can program the audible pre-alarms to be OFF or ON. The audible pre-alarms can be reset by the Alarm Silence pushbutton. High Coolant Temperature Pre-Alarm If engine coolant temperature increases above the high coolant temperature pre-alarm setpoint programmed by the BESTCOMS software for the programmed delay time, a pre-alarm occurs. Low Coolant Temperature Pre-Alarm If engine coolant temperature decreases below the low coolant temperature pre-alarm setpoint programmed by the BESTCOMS software for the programmed delay time, a pre-alarm occurs. Weak Battery Pre-Alarm If the battery voltage drops below 60% of the nominal voltage for more than 2 seconds during engine cranking, a pre-alarm occurs. The message Weak Battery is displayed in the alternate display mode and is reset by scrolling through the alternate display. Low Battery Voltage Pre-Alarm If the battery voltage decreases below the low battery voltage value programmed by the BESTCOMS software, a pre-alarm occurs. Battery Over Voltage Pre-Alarm If the battery voltage exceeds the battery over voltage level programmed by the BESTCOMS software, a pre-alarm occurs. Low Fuel Level Pre-Alarm If the fuel level decreases below the low fuel level pre-alarm value programmed by the BESTCOMS software, a pre-alarm occurs. Engine Overload Pre-Alarm If the engine load exceeds the engine overload level pre-alarm value programmed by the BESTCOMS software, a pre-alarm occurs. Battery Charger Failure Pre-Alarm If a battery charger failure is detected via the battery charger fail contact input, a pre-alarm occurs.

Power-Up Sequence When battery power is first applied, the DGC-1000 initiates a power up sequence. The version of embedded software is displayed on the LCD and the memory is checked. Then all configuration data stored in non-volatile EEPROM is brought into main memory. Immediately after this, the LCD display begins in the Normal mode. When the Normal mode is displayed, all enabled functions are activated and input monitoring begins. NOTE The run time counter, kilowatt-hour meter and maintenance timers are updated in volatile memory every minute. The updated value is saved to non-volatile memory only when auto/off/run mode of operation is changed. Should the battery power source fail during operation these values will not be updated and the change in value incurred since the last change of mode will not be saved. This information is irretrievably lost.

Auxiliary Output Setup Refer to Figure 6-17 for the Auxiliary Output Setup screen. There are eight sets of output contacts. Each of the eight outputs can be programmed to close when any of the selected inputs is active. Also, multiple outputs can be programmed to close when one input is active. Use the vertical scroll bar to scroll through all of the input selections.
Modem Communications Setup If this option is installed on your DGC-1000, the DGC-1000 can dial an alphanumeric pager when any of the selected inputs has been activated. Figure 6-18 shows the Modem Communications Setup screen. NOTE It is very important to log off of the DGC-1000 after set-up is completed. When you are logged on, the dial-in or dial-out functions are disabled. When a fault occurs for which dial-out has been programmed, the modem will dial out and send a message. During the dial-out time, neither dial-in nor local RS-232 access is available. Access is available after the message has been sent or during the modem offline delay. If no access is allowed, removing the fault and cycling the power to the DGC1000 resets the DGC-1000 and allows access. 1) Phone Number #1 through #4 These numbers are the phone numbers that the DGC1000 dials when the selected input is activated. The numbers are dialed in sequence until a connection is made. DGC-1000 BESTCOMS Software

Site Information This programmable label identifies the source of the pager message. It is sent to the pager when the dial-out connection is made. Pager ID Number These numbers identify the specific pager that is being addressed when the corresponding phone number is dialed by the DGC-1000. Inter Dial-out Time Delay This delay is the amount of time between dial-out attempts. This delay allows time for the modem to reset. Pager Buffer Limit This limit should be set to match (equal to or less than) the specific pager buffer size. If the message length exceeds that which is allowed, another call is made and the message continues. Pager Communications Data Format This setting controls the data format for the dialout modem. Telelocator alphanumeric protocol (TAP Version 1.7) is implemented in the DGC-1000 for communications with a pager. The protocol specifies seven data bits with even parity. Some pager companies may use eight data bits and no parity. Rings For Modem Answer This is the number of rings allowed before the modem picks up the line and negotiates a connection. The number of rings is to provide time for an operator to answer the phone before the modem picks up. Operating the system in this manner allows a telephone to share a line with a modem. Modem Off-line Delay This is the amount of time allowed between dial-out attempts should a dial-out attempt fail. This allows time for a user to dial into the DGC-1000.

Metering DGC-1000 Windows software provides a means to monitor the metering data and alarm status. The metering data and the alarm status are refreshed approximately every 1.5 seconds. Summary The metering is separated into six different screens. There is one screen, Summary, that shows all the available metering values from the DGC-1000 (Refer to Figure 6-20). The other five screens have a detailed subset of these metering values available. To enable metering you must be logged onto a unit and then open the Metering menu and select enable metering. If you are not on the metering screen the program will change to the metering screen and start updating the values. When metering is disabled all of the metering screens will be grayed out showing they are inactive.
Alarms The pre-alarms and alarms are all shown on one screen (refer to Figure 6-21). When a pre-alarm becomes active the LED next to the name of the pre-alarm will be green. A description of the alarm will be shown on top of the screen and the computer speaker will begin to beep. The label on top of the screen will contain the same alarm until it goes away and then it will show the next pre-alarm going down the list that is active. When an alarm becomes active the LED next to the name of the alarm will be red. The screen will jump to the alarm tab and the computer speaker will begin to beep. If the alarm type is a Sender Failure the type of sender that failed will be indicated in the Sender Failure type area.
Figure 6-21. Metering - Alarms Screen The top portion of the screen contains icon buttons for New File, File Open, Save File, Print File and a button for each screen. Refer to Figure 6-22. New File - Overwrites the current settings with default settings as a starting point. File Open - Open a currently saved settings file. File Save - Saves the settings that are being edited to a settings file. Print File - Prints a hard copy of the settings.
The Generator Status gives the last received state of the generator if you are logged on. When metering is enabled this is updated continuously along with the other meter readings. When metering is disabled it only checks the generator status when another communication event happens, i.e. logon, send settings, or get settings. Emergency Stop button - This button is used to shut the generator down in an emergency. You must be logged onto the DGC for this button to be active. When this button is selected it will change into an Emergency Reset button.
