1. MICS Kerys
1.1. Aim and structure
The MICS KERYS system comprises a range of electronic modules which are to be used for control and command operations,
setting and protecting generating sets which stand alone or feature as part of a power plant.
The system includes the following modules:
industrial programmable automatic control module (A.P.I.)
All or nothing logical inputs and outputs module
Analogue inputs and outputs module
temperature acquisition module
electrical safety module
Man-Machine Interface Module
adjustment module
An industrial programmable automatic control module and a Man-Machine Interface module form the basic configuration of the
system.

2.2. Interface ergonomics

The KERYS interface screen has a touch panel enabling various menus and commands to be accessed. The active zones on the screen
are indicated by rectangles.
The extended zones indicate the control keys, the recessed zones indicate the indicators.
However, in some cases, the indicators allow access to menus listing general information; for example, pressing the fault indicator
displays the list of alarms and faults.
When an indicator is active, pressing one of these
indicators displays the list of faults and alarms

Global operation time delay:

Time taken for all generating sets to be started and for generating sets to power the installation.
Power on time delay:
Time taken for the generating set to perform the power on keyway needed to power the installation.
Power off time delay:
Time taken for the generating set to perform the power off keyway needed to remove power from the installation.
Minimum number of generating sets:
Determines the minimum number of generating sets needed to start in order that the power plant can authorise the switching on of the
installation.
Maximum number of generating sets:
All generating sets start when there is a request for emergency operation; the Wattmeter control only intervenes after an operation
period allowing load stabilisation after the restart.
This adjustment enables the number of generating sets starting during this sequence to be limited.
Number of additional generating sets:
Corresponds to the number of generating sets which have started in addition to the minimum number of generating sets needed to
power the installation.

Wattmetric control / Thresholds

Operating mode:
A633 - A634 - A635
Power-on thresholds
These parameters are located in the left half of the on-screen configuration field.
They define the active power threshold leading to an additional generating set start request.
The power-on request is delayed for the duration of the time delay period to prevent the installation being started with a temporary
overload, i.e. a motor starting,
Power-off thresholds
These parameters are located in the right half of the on-screen configuration zone.
They define the active power threshold leading to the power-off request when the power consumption of an installation is reduced.
If the threshold appears,the request to switch off the generating set is delayed for the duration of the time delay period.

Warning
Power cut time delay
Defines the time between the actual loss of the grid voltage and the beginning of the starting sequence.
Mains return time delay
Defines the time between the actual loss of the grid voltage and the start of the switching off sequence.
If the "with mains return" selection is operational, this triggers the switching off sequence.
Inversion in non-coupling in normal
Enables a programme to be selected in the event of the grid synchronisation failing. If the "Without" selection is active, the
installation remains supplied by the replacement power supply, if not, the installation cuts-off the supply.
Inversion on non-connection in emergency
Enables a program to be selected in the event of the grid synchronisation failing. If the "Without" selection is active, the installation
remains supplied by the grid, if not, the installation cuts-off the replacement power supply.

4. Generating set starting modes

4.1. General information
The aim of this section is to describe the actions to be carried out for starting a generating set in the various possible modes:
starting in manual mode
starting using the no load test function
starting using the load test function
starting in automatic mode

4.2. Prerequisites
Make sure that you use an operational installation which includes a standard module and a KERYS IHM.

4.3. Manual starting

Check there are no faults :

grey: no fault.
red: fault present.
grey: no alarm.
red: alarm present.

If faults are present, the fault management screen can be accessed by

pressing the reset button.

If no faults are present, manual mode can be activated by pressing the

Manu button.

53/62

33502015901_2_1

The manual starting phase will begin once button 1 in the test unit is
pressed.

The starting request is maintained until the generating set group starts.
This method may not under any circumstances be used to turn the motor
over.

During the starting phase and until the alternator voltage stabilises, the
green LED underneath the generating set symbol flashes, and then lights
up permanently once the phase is complete.

The generating set may be stopped at any time by pressing the stop
button or the 0 button in the test unit.
The green LED underneath the generating set symbol goes out to indicate
that the generating set has stopped.

Check there are no faults:

grey: no fault.
red: fault present.
grey: alarm not present.
red: alarm present.

If faults are present, the fault management screen can be accessed by

pressing the reset button.

If no faults are present, automatic mode can be activated by pressing

the Auto button.

The generating set may be stopped at any time by pressing the

stop button or the 0 button in the test unit.

Important:
Pressing the stop button may cause an interruption in the power supply depending on its status when the button is
pressed (e.g. isolated grid operation)
The generating set will stop after a cooling delay (180 seconds by default).
The green LED underneath the generating set symbol goes out to
indicate that the generating set has stopped.

4.6. Starting in automatic mode

In AUTO mode, except for during the test functions, the generating set starts as a result of an external command which may be
triggered by various sources:
power loss
EJP command (France only)
customer command
The installation is then controlled via the automatic systems in accordance with the configuration of the application:
inversion of normal/emergency source
grid coupling
etc
The generating set may be stopped at any time by pressing the 0 button in
the test unit.

Important:
Pressing the stop button may cause an interruption in the power supply depending on its status when the button
is pressed (e.g. isolated grid operation)
The generating set will stop after a cooling delay (180 seconds by default).
