Introduction
2 INTRODUCTION
2.1 CAN
Controller Area Network (CAN) is a serial bus standard, originally developed in the 1980s by Robert Bosch GmbH, for connecting electronic
control units (ECUs). CAN was specifically designed to be robust in noisy environments. It can be even more robust against noise if twisted
pair wire is used. Although initially created for automotive purposes, nowadays it is used in many embedded control applications (e.g.,
generator sets) that may be subject to noise.
2.2 SAE J1939

SAE J1939 is the Vehicle Network Communication standard using CAN for communication and diagnostics by the heavy duty truck industry.
As generator engines are usually based upon truck engines, this standard has also been adopted by the majority of (but not all) Generator
Engine Manufacturers.
For instance MTU engines use CAN but have not adopted J1939. However DSE controllers are also compatible with and officially certified for
use with MTU engines.
2.3 RS485
RS485 is a serial bus standard for connecting multiple devices to the same bus.
This connection standard is used by Cummins on some engine ranges rather than the CAN standard adopted by other genset manufacturers.
However DSE 5300 Series controllers are also compatible with the Cummins RS485 enabled engines.
2.4 TWISTED PAIR CABLING

Twisted pair (TP) cabling is a common form of wiring in which
two conductors are wound around each other for the purposes of
canceling out electromagnetic interference (known as crosstalk).
The number of twists in the cable per meter make up part of the
specification for a given type of cable. The greater the number of
twists, the more crosstalk is reduced.
Twisting wires decreases interference because:

The loop area between the wires (which determines the magnetic
coupling into the signal) is reduced as much as physically
possible.
The directions of current generated by a uniform coupled
magnetic field is reversed for every twist, canceling each other
out.
The characteristic impedance of a twisted pair cable is around 100Ω making it suitable for both CAN or RS485 use. Screened,
Shielded Twisted Pair is particularly suitable as the screening and shield offer even more protection.
If incorrect cable type is used it will lead to data transmission errors in the future, potentially after commissioning and the engineer has
left site!
Ω impedance cable suitable for CAN or RS485 use (DSE part number
NOTE:-DSE stock and supply Belden cable 9841 which is a high quality 120Ω
016-030)
2.5 IMPEDANCE MATCHING

When sending power down a transmission line, it is desirable that all the power is absorbed by the load and none of it is reflected back to the
source. This can be ensured by making the source and load impedances equal in which case the line is said to be matched.
CAN and RS485 specifies 120Ω cable be used with 120Ω termination resistors at each end to match impedances. The termination resistor is
fitted internally into the DSE CAN interface controller so is not required externally. Ensure that the DSE controller is the ‘last’ device on the
communications link where more than one device is connected to the engine ECU’s CAN connector.
If the cable impedance and/or termination resistors are not correctly fitted, this can cause some of the received signal to be ‘reflected’ back to
the transmitting module. This reflection will ‘collide’ with further data transmissions, causing data transmission errors.
Ω termination resistor internally so must be fitted externally.

NOTE:-The DSE RS485 interface does not include the 120Ω
The RS485 interface is NOT used for CAN engines.

3 ELECTRONIC ENGINES AND THE DSE MODULE

3.1 INSTRUMENTATION
As the Engine ECU is connected to measurement sensors
on the engine, this instrumentation is available to be read
into the DSE controller.
All DSE electronic engine enabled controllers will read
engine oil pressure, engine coolant temperature and
engine speed from the engine ECU.
In addition to this, DSE44xx, DSE5xxx, DSE6xxx, DSE7xxx
and DSE8xxx controllers will display “enhanced engine
ECU instrumentation” when it is supported by the engine
ECU.
This information can also be viewed using the Engine
instrumentation pages of the configuration software.
When the ECU is not powered it is not possible to read the

diagnostic trouble codes or instrumentation. See the
section entitled Turning on the ECU manually.
NOTE:- 3110 controllers do not support SCADA monitoring by PC software.
NOTE:- When connected to an active ECU supporting the instrument, the instrument’s value are shown on the DSE module’s screen and also on
the PC remote instrumentation page.
When the ECU is not powered, engine ECU instrumentation will indicate # # #
When instrument has an errors (for instance sensor errors), x x x is displayed.
Unsupported instruments have blank values (no indication).
NOTE:- Some engine ECUs do not support all of the ‘enhanced engine ECU instrumentation’. The unsupported displays will appear blank on the
module display.
3.2 USE OF ENGINE MANUFACTURERS SOFTWARE TOOLS

Occasionally it is necessary to connect the engine manufacturers software tools to the engine ECU in order to make changes to the engine
configuration.
The ECU may need to be powered up to perform this operation and as the ECU is normally only powered when the engine is running, it must
be turned on manually as described in the following section.
NOTE:- If the manufacturers software tool connects to the same CAN interface as the DSE module, ensure the DSE module is the ‘last’ device on
the CAN interface.
If the tool does not operate when connected to the same CAN interface as the DSE module, you are referred to your engine manufacturer.
3.3 TURNING ON THE ECU MANUALLY

When the ECU is not powered it is not possible to read the diagnostic trouble codes or instrumentation. Additionally, it is not possible to use
the engine manufacturers configuration tools. As the ECU is unpowered when the engine is not running, it must be turned on manually as
follows :
• Select STOP mode on the DSE controller.
• Press and hold the START button to power the ECU. As the controller is in STOP mode, the engine will not be started.
• Continue to hold the start button for as long as you need the ECU to be powered.
• The ECU will remain powered until a few seconds after the START button is released.
This is also useful if the engine manufacturer’s tools need to be connected to the engine, for instance to configure the engine as the ECU
needs to be powered up to perform this operation.
NOTE:-DSE3110 does not include the ECU OVERRIDE function.
NOTE:-When the ECU is not powered, engine ECU instrumentation will indicate ### on the display of the DSE controller.
NOTE:-When it is required for the DSE controller to change ECU settings (ie when the Alternative Frequency setting is changed) the settings will
the sent to the ECU the next time the ECU is turned on. “Setting ECU” will appear on the DSE display while this adjustment takes place.
9
3.4 ECU TROUBLE CODES AND DIAGNOSTICS
NOTE:-DSE3110 controllers display only the common Check Engine indicator – Contact your engine supplier for details.
3.4.1 SPN/FMI CODES

If the engine ECU detects a fault with the engine, it will communicate this problem to the DSE controller in the form of a “trouble code”. There
are two levels to these trouble codes
1. SPN = Suspect Parameter Number. This indicates what is wrong (i.e. Engine temperature).
2. FMI = Failure Mode Indicator. This indicates the type of failure (i.e. High).
Example taken from Volvo Penta Engine Documentation :
SPN 100, FMI 1 = Means Oil Pressure Sensor - Value below Normal
SPN 100, FMI 3 = Means Oil Pressure Sensor - Short Circuit
SPN 100, FMI 5 = Means Oil Pressure Sensor - Open Circuit
The DSE controller will display these codes in text format :
Alarm 1/1
Low Oil Pressure
Shutdown
Where an ‘unknown’ code is sent by the ECU, the DSE controller will display the SPN/FMI code number allowing the user to cross reference
this information with the fault codes supplied by the engine manufacturer.
The DSE fault text display replaces the flashing “twinkle code” lamp available on some trouble code display systems giving a much more user
friendly interface to the engine ECU.
Each alarm can be one of two types, ECU ERROR or ECU FAIL. These are detailed in the following sections.
With DSE7000 Series controllers, these alarms are named CAN ECU WARNING and CAN ECU SHUTDOWN.
10
3.4.2 CAN ECU WARNING (CAN ECU ERROR)
This is a “warning” type alarm (Sometimes called the yellow lamp alarm by engine manufacturers) – the engine ECU does not shutdown the
engine, it continues to run. The DSE controller takes no action other than to generate a warning alarm and to indicate the alarm via the
fascia display.
Alarm 1/1 Alarm 1/1

CAN ECU Warning The display will alternate between the Water Level Low
text display and the manufacturers
error codes.
Warning xxx,xxx,xxx
3.4.3 CAN ECU SHUTDOWN (CAN ECU FAIL)
This is a “shutdown” type alarm (Sometimes called the red lamp alarm by engine manufacturers) – the engine has been shutdown by the
ECU. The DSE controller performs the relevant shutdown procedure for the ECU as dictated by the CAN file selection, generates a
shutdown alarm and indicates the alarm via the fascia display.
Alarm 1/1 Alarm 1/1

CAN ECU Shutdown The display will alternate between the Fuel Pressure Low
text display and the manufacturers
error codes.
Shutdown xxx,xxx,xxx
NOTE: - If the CAN message is a manufacturers specific code, it may not be displayed as text. If this is the case, the display will show the generic
manufacturers code only, which must be cross-referenced with the engine manufacturer’s literature. Please contact the engine manufacturer for
further assistance.
The above displays show a standard J1939 based system. Other manufacturers systems supported by the module work in a similar way though the
exact detail may vary from those illustrated.
Example
Alarm 1/1
CAN ECU Shutdown
xxx,xxx,xxx
To reset latched warning faults on the engine ECU, press the DSE controller mute button.
To reset latched shutdown faults on the engine ECU, press the DSE controller stop/reset button.
3.4.4 CAN ECU DATA FAIL

As the engine ECU CAN link is used to provide engine protection, it is a matter of safety that the CAN link remains intact.
If the link is not operative during normal running, an engine shutdown will occur and ‘Can data fail’ is shown on the module’s display :
Alarm 1/1
CAN ECU Data Fail
Shutdown
As the CAN link is not operative, shutdown of the engine cannot be made using a CAN message (!).
In this case, the only method of shutdown is via the ECU STOP output.
NOTE:-The check for data on the ECU link takes place after the DSE controller’s safety delay timer.

DSE Module Connection
4 CONNECTIONS
As the connections to DSE controllers are similar across the DSE range the engine ECU connections are
common for all controllers. The following table details the differences between the different ranges.

NOTE:- The CAN and RS485 specifications, require that a 120Ω Ω terminator is fitted to each end of the communications link. This termination
resistor is fitted internally into the DSE CAN interface so is not required externally. Ensure that the DSE controller is the ‘last’ device on the
communications link where more than one device is connected to the engine ECU’s CAN connector.
However, the DSE RS485 interface does not include the 120Ω Ω termination resistor internally, this is supplied loose with the RS485 enabled controller.
NOTE:- DSE31xx Series fuel/start outputs are rated at 2A DC. DSE31xx auxiliary outputs are rated at 2A DC.
NOTE:- DSE44xx Series fuel/start outputs are rated at 2A DC. DSE44xx auxiliary outputs are rated at 2A DC.
NOTE:- DSE5xxx Series fuel/start outputs are rated at 15A DC. DSE5xxx auxiliary outputs are rated at 5A DC.

4.4 TYPICAL CONNECTIONS

Connections between the DSE controller and the engine system are similar for all engine types and includes connection to the Engine ECU
link and in some engine types, ancilliary control is also required.
Engine ECU link
DSE ECU
Controller
FUEL / CAN
ECU POWER
Engine
CRANK
NOTE:- RUN/POWER and CRANK are not required with all engine types. See specific connection lists elsewhere in this manual for further
details.
4.5 ECU POWER AND ECU STOP OUTPUTS

DSE controllers have configurable output sources specifically
designed to control the engine ECU. These are labelled CAN
ECU Power and ECU Stop in the DSE configuration software.
The exact timing/sequence of their operation varies slightly

depending upon the configuration of “Electronic Engine type” but
essentially their functions are as follows:
4.5.1 CAN ECU POWER

Normally used to turn on the ECU (sometimes via an external slave relay).
Some engine ECUs are permanently powered in which case the ECU Power output is used to give input to a Run (or similarly named) input
on the ECU.
4.5.2 CAN ECU STOP

Used to give input to a Stop (or similarly named) input on the ECU. This is used as a backup stop system should the ECU Data link fail. In this
instance, it’s not possible to stop the engine using a data command as the link is not operative. As a backup, the STOP signal is given to the
engine via a separate hardwired connection.
CAUTION!: Check the current rating of the ECU terminals that CAN ECU POWER and CAN ECU STOP signals are connected to and ensure the DSE
output rating is not exceeded.
4.6 REMOTE SPEED CONTROL

4.6.1 DSE53XX SERIES
As the DSE module’s analogue inputs for oil pressure and coolant temperature are not used when the module is configured for use with an
electronic engine, it is possible to use the coolant temperature input as engine speed control by connecting a potentiometer. Contact Deep
Sea Electronics Technical Support Department for further details and to confirm the list of engines that support this feature.
4.6.2 DSE55XX SERIES

Version 10 and later DSE5510/5520 controllers have a configurable speed parameter that can be adjusted when the engine is running. Refer
to the relevant operator and PC software configuration manual for further details on enabling and utilising this function.
4.6.3 DSE7XXX AND DSE8XXX SERIES

The DSE7XXX and DSE8XXX controllers have a configurable speed parameter that can be adjusted when the engine is running. Refer to the
relevant operator and PC software configuration manual for further details on enabling and utilising this function.

Caterpillar and DSE Controllers
5 CATERPILLAR
Engines in the Caterpillar range are split into subgroups depending upon the type of engine governing are employed. These different systems

engine whether or not you intend to fit the PIM module and also that you require CAN for connection to the DSE controller. This will ensure that you
receive the engine with the relevant options enabled. Incorrectly set options for PIM and secondary CAN controller may lead to “CAN 1 NODE LOST
180” errors displayed by the DSE module (and MTU PIM module)
NOTE:-DSE55xx, DSE75xx and DSE8xxx can perform synchronising and loadsharing using CAN instructions to the engine ECU when using the
MTU-MDEC-304 configuration file in conjunction with compatible MDEC controllers. If in doubt about the MDEC version you have, you are referred to
MTU.
NOTE:-MDEC Speed control is configurable. Ensure it is set to receive speed control signals via the CAN interface.

2 INTERNAL PLC DESCRIPTION

The internal PLC allows the system designer to add functionality to the DSE controller where such
functions do not already exist. It also allows the designer to take existing functions within the
controller and tailor them to suit the application requirements.
The main point to remember with the PLC is that the designer is not changing existing functions within
the DSE controller, rather they are using them in differing ways to help ensure that DSE’s high level of
protection and safety cannot be bypassed with the PLC. However, great care must still be taken to
ensure the PLC program operates as required by the designer.
For example, the DSE8610 controller contains synchronising and load sharing functions, with
protections provided by the MultiSet Communications (MSC) link. It would be inappropriate to allow
designers to bypass these protections. However to allow customisation, DSE have provided digital
input functions to alter the process while maintaining all necessary protections. These input functions
are also accessible via PLC Functions, described in the section entitled PLC functions elsewhere in
this document.
NOTE: It is the responsibility of the PLC programmer to ensure that the PLC program
operates exactly as intended. DSE cannot be held responsible for any issues arising from
unintended actions of the PLC program.

2.2 FUNCTIONS, FLAGS AND MATHS
The PLC operates using key components – Functions, Flags and Maths. Almost every PLC program
consists of checking Flags and activating Functions or setting user Flags. Additionally more complex
programs may include some mathematical operations.
2.2.1 PLC FUNCTIONS
PLC functions can be considered as Virtual Inputs. For example, a PLC Function is configured in
exactly the same way as a Digital Input. The difference is that the PLC Function is activated by the
PLC and does not require hard wiring. In addition it does not ‘use up’ one of the module’s hardware
inputs.
2.2.2 FLAGS
Flags can be considered as Status Items within the DSE controller. Any operating state or alarm that
occurs can be detected by the PLC program. Decisions can then be made as to what action to
perform upon particular conditions.
It is also possible to create ‘user flags’ to store the result of a condition or set of conditions. These are
known as “PLC Output Flags”.
Module outputs can then be set to operate upon the PLC Output Flags or upon the module’s inbuilt
Flags.
These Flags are often called Output Sources.
2.2.3 PLC MATHEMATICS
PLC mathematics allows the user to manipulate instrumentation values with mathematical functions,
placing values and results into the module’s Registers or Stores for access later either by the PLC
itself or via the controller’s display.
2.2.3.1 USER REGISTERS
Values placed in the User Registers are lost when the module DC power is removed and after
configuration upload from the DSE Configuration Suite PC Software.
User Registers are able to be viewed in the module instrumentation screens after selection using the
DSE Configuration Suite PC Software. Refer to the section entitled Module Display elsewhere in this
document for further details.
2.2.3.2 USER STORES
Values placed in the User Stores are maintained, even when the module DC power is removed.
The values are stored in Non-Volatile (N.V.) memory. To minimise the number of writes to the N.V.
memory (extending its life), the values are stored at intervals of one minute since the last write to the
N.V. memory and then only if the value has changed.
User Stores are able to be viewed and edited in the module instrumentation screens after selection
using the DSE Configuration Suite PC Software. Refer to the section entitled Module Display
elsewhere in this document for further details.
6
Accessing the PLC Editor
3 ACCESSING THE PLC EDITOR

To access the internal PLC, the DSE Configuration Suite PC Software must be installed and a
Configuration from a supported controller must be opened. For details of this refer to DSE Publication
057-051 DSE Configuration Suite PC Software Installation & Operation Manual available from
www.deepseaplc.com.
The internal PLC editor is

accessed via the Advanced
section of the configuration
in the DSE Configuration
Suite PC Software.
The PLC menu consists of

the PLC Logic page where
the main programming takes
place, and the configuration
of the PLC Functions and
display of Registers and
Stores on the module’s
display.
These menu options are

described in the following
sections.

3.1 PLC LOGIC

Icons for testing Conditions
Icons for Actions
Icons for Tools
PLC ladder program area
To create a program, click and drag the icons from the Condition and Actions toolbar onto the
program area.
The PLC program is evaluated every 100 ms (10 times per second).
The evaluation time of each rung is indeterminate as each rung consists of a variety of functions,
each one with a variable execution time.
Actions are ‘queued’ by the PLC during the evaluation of the rungs, then executed in order at the
completion of the program, before the cycle begins again.
This means that the order of the items in the PLC may change the way the program operates.

Items on the Conditions toolbar allow for a variety of conditions to be tested (checked). Not all items
are available with all controllers.

3.1.1.1 TEST FLAG
A Flag is an internal state of the controller. Some examples of flags include operating mode and
current alarm conditions. The list of testable flags varies depending upon the controller being
configured and is the same list for configuring the module’s output relays. A full list along with
descriptions is contained within the relevant DSE Configuration Suite PC Software Manual.
3.1.1.2 TEST INSTRUMENTATION VALUE
Allows the controller’s instrumentation to be tested in a number of ways.
Selection Mathematical Symbol

Less than < (Or Value is Under Range)
At most <= (Or Value is Under Range)
Equal to =
At least >= (Or Value is Over Range or at another Sentinel Value)
More than > (Or Value is Over Range or at another Sentinel Value)
Between >= AND <= (And Value is not at a Sentinel Value)
The list of testable flags varies depending upon the controller. A full list of module instrumentation is
contained within the relevant Operator Manual.
Not all instrumentation can be read from all controllers. These include :
• Instruments that are not supported by the controller. For example “Mains Voltage” is only
available in controllers with Mains Sensing.
• Instruments not configured in the controller. For example the Fuel Level Input may be
configured to be “not used”.
• Instruments that are under range or over range. For example if the Coolant Temperature is
below the measurable range of the temperature sensor being used.
• Instruments that are in a fault condition. For example the Oil Pressure Sensor may be “open
circuit”.
• Instruments whose condition cannot be determined. For example Power Factor is not
measurable when there is no load applied to the generator.
In these circumstances the module returns a sentinel value as listed overleaf. The actual value
returned for a given state varies depending upon the size and type of instrument being read.
NOTE: It is the responsibility of the PLC programmer to ensure that the PLC program
operates exactly as intended. DSE cannot be held responsible for any issues arising from
unintended actions of the PLC program.

3.1.3.1 CONTROLLING USER PLC FLAGS
Four different ways of controlling the User Settable PLC Flags are possible.

Set Flag Sets a Flag. The flag remains set until another a Reset or Toggle action
changes it. Removal of the condition that activated the Set command has
no effect on the state of a flag.
This is useful for ‘remembering’ that a condition has occurred.
Reset Flag If a flag is in a Set position, this action resets the flag.
Toggle Flag Changes the state of a flag. If the flag is currently set, it resets it.
If the flag is currently reset, it sets it.
Drive Flag This action makes the flag state follow the condition that preceeds it.
For example if the condition is true, the flag is set. If the condition is
subsequently removed, the flag is automatically reset.
3.1.3.2 COUNTER CONTROL
Actions to control user counters.

Increment Adds one to the specified counter until the counter reaches its configured
counter counter limit.
Decrement Subtracts one from the specified counter (unless the counter is already
counter zero (0)).
Zero counter Sets the specified counter to Zero.
15
3.1.3.3 MATHEMATICAL
Actions to allow mathematical functions to be performed and the results placed in a Register or Store.
Item Description
Operation Addition: Value1 + Value 2
Value 1 Subtraction: Value 1 – Value 2
Value 2 Multiply: Value 1 * Value 2
Divide: Value 1 / Value 2 (remainder is lost)
Remainder: The remainder of Value 1 / Value 2
Magnitude: The value with its ‘sign’ removed. For example both 6 and -6 give a
value of 6.
Minimum: The lowest of Value 1 and Value 2. For example Value 1 = 5, Value
2 = 7. The Minimum is 5.
Maximum: The highest of Value 1 and Value 2. For example Value 1=5, Value
2 = 7. The Maximum is 7.
Target The location where the result of the mathematical operation is to be placed.
Register: Values placed in the User Registers are lost when the module DC
power is removed.
Store: Values placed in the User Stores are maintained, even when the module
DC power is removed.
For further details of Registers and Stores, see the section entitled PLC Maths
elsewhere in this document.
3.1.3.4 COPY
Allows a value to be copied or placed into a Register or Store.
Item Description
Value Fixed Value: Enter the value manually.
Calculated Value: Select the calculated instrumentation value from a list of
prefined options.
Instrumentation Value: Select one of the modules instrumentation items.
Register: Select one of the Registers.
Store: Select one of the Stores.
Target The location where the Value is to be placed.
Register: Values placed in the Registers are lost when the module DC power is
removed.
Store: Values placed in the Stores are maintained, even when the module DC
power is removed.
For further details of Registers and Stores, see the section entitled PLC Maths
16
3.1.3.5 CLOCK ADJUST
Included to ease Daylight Saving adjustments, this allows one hour to be added to or subtracted from
the module’s internal clock.
Example:
Showing the addition of one hour on the fourth Sunday in March at 1 am. Addtionally this is setting a
User Store to the value of 1. This allows us to check in the PLC SCADA or in the module
instrumention if DST is active:
Example:
Showing the subtraction of one hour on the fourth Sunday in October at 2 am. We additionally check
the status of DST (Store 1) to ensure the clock is not continually adjusted one hour later!
3.1.3.6 TIMER
Allows a timer to be started.

When the condition leading to the timer becomes true, the timer is started and runs until the
configurable timer limit is reached. If the condition becomes false, the timer is stopped and the current
time is ‘lost’. The timer begins from zero if it is restarted.
If it is required to restart a timer, it’s condition must be made false, then true again in order to re-
enable the timer. This restarts the timer from zero.
17
3.1.3.7 FUNCTION
PLC functions can be considered as Virtual Inputs. For example a PLC Function is configured in
exactly the same way and has the same selections as a Module Digital Input. The difference is that
the PLC Function is activated by the PLC and does not require hard wiring.
Item Description
Function User Configured: Allows the user to configure the Function to perform
an alarm or status indication.
Digital Input Selection List: Allows the user to select from a predefined
selection list. Refer to the DSE Configuration Suite PC Software Manual
for the host controller in use for a full description of possible selections.
Polarity Close to Activate: The Function is ‘normally inactive’ and must be
driven in the PLC in order to activate it.
Open to Activate: The Function is ‘normally active’ and must driven in
the PLC in order to de-activate it.
Action Electrical Trip: When activated, an electrical trip alarm is generated, the
(Only applicable when load switch is opened (if closed) and the generator placed into the
function is set to “User cooling run before stopping.
Configured”) Indication: No alarm condition is generated and the set continues to
run. This is often used to create status indications or be monitored by the
user’s PLC logic.
Warning: When activated, a warning alarm is generated but the set
remains running.
Shutdown: When activated, a shutdown alarm is generated, the load
switch (if closed) is immediately opened and the set is immediately
stopped.
Example using a function to prevent starting the generator upon a mains failure during the whole of
Sunday. This uses PLC Function 1, configured to “Auto Start Inhibit”.
18
3.1.3.8 OVERRIDE GENCOMM
Using an external PLC that has a Modbus master serial port, it is possible to write values to the DSE
controllers to change certain parameters. The protocol used for this is called Gencomm.
Using the DSE internal PLC, it is possible to change these same values using the Override Gencomm
action.
Depending upon controller type, the parameters that can be changed vary. Some controllers have no
adjustable parameters using this function.
Example 1: Using Override Gencomm, the Run Priority of the set can be changed.
Example 2: Using Override Gencomm, the amount of power the generator is producing can be
changed.
3.1.3.9 ALARM RESET
This action allows individual alarms to be reset. An alarm can only be reset if the condition that
generated the alarm is no longer present.
To perform an action that resets ALL alarms, it’s more appropriate to drive a PLC Function that has
been configured to Alarm Reset.

Designing the PLC Program
5 HOW TO CREATE A PLC PROGRAM

5.1 DESIGNING THE PROGRAM
The fundamental issue in creating a PLC program is knowing exactly what is required!
It is usually best to start with a written description. As the DSE PLC is based around the internal
system of inputs and outputs, keep these functions in mind when designing the solution.
5.2 USING THE PLC EDITOR TO MAKE AN EXAMPLE PROGRAM

For example, if a function is required to silence the controller’s alarm 30 seconds after it begins, the
designer must consider how to determine if the alarm is active and then how to perform the silencing
function.
Looking through the list of Flags we find Audible Alarm. This flag is set whenever the controller’s
internal audible alarm is active.
Therefore, in the PLC Logic screen we can ‘drag’ the (Flag Test) icon to the Program Area. The
following options box appears:
Parameter Description
Condition Type The type of condition to check for. This is automatically set when the icon is
dragged from the Condition toolbar but can be changed if the wrong one is
inadvertently selected.
Polarity Normally Open: Tests if the condition is True.
Normally Closed: Tests if the condition is False.
Source Contains the list of available Flags.
This list differs between controller types. A full list of sources is included in the
relevant controller’s Configuration Suite manual.
OK Click to add the condition to the PLC program.
Cancel Click to cancel and return to the editor without adding the condition.
In our example we select Flag Test, Normally Open, Audible Alarm and click .
Our example program is now as below. If it isn’t, then go back and check what went wrong.
24
The next thing we need to do is set a timer that expires in 30 seconds after the audible alarm begins.
Drag the (Delay) icon from the Action Toolbar and drop it just to the right of the black line to the
right of the Audible Alarm symbol that has just been placed.
As the mouse button is released, the following settings box appears :
Action Type The type of action to perform. This is automatically set when the icon is dragged
from the Action toolbar but can be changed if the wrong one is inadvertently
selected.
Timer # The number of the timer to be operated.
Next click , the Timer Limit settings box appears.
For our example,set Timer limit 1 to 30s:

and click .
Now the program looks like this:
This program now checks for an audible alarm and start a timer that runs for 30 seconds (so long as
the audible alarm remains active). Next we need to configure what happens when the timer expires.
We need a new Condition: (Timer Test). Drag this from the Condition Toolbar into the empty
space below the first PLC rung. The details window appears. Make selections as shown below. This
checks to see if Timer # 1 has expired.
25
Our program is now as shown below:
We have now just one more item to add to the PLC Ladder.
When the 30 second timer expires, we want it to silence the audible alarm. This is achieved using a
PLC Function. Drag the (Trigger Function) icon and drop it to the right of the Timer Limit 1 condition.
Action Type The type of action to perform. This is automatically set when the icon is dragged
from the Action toolbar but can be changed if the wrong one is inadvertently
selected.
Function # The number of the Function to be operated.
For our example, select Function # 1.
Our program is now as shown below:
This program now checks for an audible alarm and start a timer that runs for 30 seconds (so long as
the audible alarm remains active).
When the timer expires, Function 1 is triggered.
Finally we have to configure what Function 1 is used for.
Select PLC Functions 1-4 from the Configuration Editor:

When the timer expires, Alarm Mute (Function 1) is triggered silencing the alarm. If another alarm
occurs, the audible alarm restarts, starting our 30 second timer again.
Remember to click (Save) to save a copy of the configuration file. The PLC program is contained
within the configuration file.
Also remember to click (Write to module) to upload the configuration file to the connected controller.
27
Testing and Diagnosing the PLC Program
6 TESTING AND DIAGNOSING A PLC PROGRAM

Many PLC programs are very simple, having only one or two rungs (lines) in the ladder. Often, the
easiest way to test these is to simply use the module and test that the actions are as required.
However sometimes this leads to us finding that the PLC program is not acting as required. This is
usually caused by an error in the design of the program.
DSE have provided a diagnostic monitor in the SCADA section of the Configuration Suite Software to
aid the fault finding process. This is not available in all controllers with PLC functionality.
Select PLC in the SCADA section of the Config

Suite when connected to the module containing
the PLC ladder to be viewed / diagnosed.
The message:
is shown until the entire PLC ladder has been

downloaded for viewing from the connected
controller.
Conditions highlighted in green show ACTIVE

(true) conditions.
Conditions with no highlight are INACTIVE (false)
‘Clear’ means that the flag is not set.
‘Set’ means that the flag is set.
See below for further details.
Timers and Counter shows their current value.
Note that depending upon update time of the

SCADA screen, this may not be in ‘real time’.
Fast connection methods such as USB or direct
Ethernet connection (no internet) give much quicker
update rates.

Introduction
2 INTRODUCTION
This document details the installation and operation requirements of the DSEE800 module, part of
the DSEGenset® range of products.
The manual forms part of the product and should be kept for the entire life of the product. If the
product is passed or supplied to another party, ensure that this document is passed to them for
reference purposes.
This is not a controlled document. You will not be automatically informed of updates. Any future
updates of this document will be included on the DSE website at www.deepseaplc.com
The DSEExxx series is designed to provide differing levels of functionality across a common
platform. This allows the engine OEM greater flexibility in the choice of controller to use for a specific
application.
The DSEE800 module has been designed to allow the operator to start and stop the engine, control
engine speed manually or automatically and if required, transfer the load to engine either manually or
automatically.
The user also has the facility to view the system operating parameters via the LCD display.
The DSEE800 module monitors the engine, indicating the operational status and fault conditions,
automatically shutting down the engine and giving a true first up fault condition of an engine failure
by the LCD display.
The powerful ARM microprocessor contained within the module allows for incorporation of a range of
complex features:
• Icon based LCD display

• USB Communications
• Engine parameter monitoring.
• Fully configurable inputs for use as alarms or a range of different functions.
• Engine ECU interface to electronic engines.
Using a PC and the DSE Configuration Suite software allows alteration of selected operational
sequences, timers, alarms and operational sequences. Additionally, the module’s integral front panel
configuration editor allows adjustment of this information.
A robust plastic case designed for front panel mounting houses the module. Connections are via
locking plug and sockets.
Access to critical operational sequences and timers for use by qualified engineers, can be protected
by a security code. Module access can also be protected by PIN code. Selected parameters can be
changed from the module’s front panel.
The module is housed in a robust plastic case suitable for panel mounting. Connections to the
module are via locking plug and sockets.

The charge fail input is actually a combined input and output. Whenever the engine is required to
run, the terminal provides excitation current to the charge alternator field winding.
When the charge alternator is correctly charging the battery, the voltage of the terminal is close to
the plant battery supply voltage. In a failed charge situation, the voltage of this terminal is pulled
down to a low voltage. It is this drop in voltage that triggers the charge failure alarm. The level at
which this operates and whether this triggers a warning or shutdown alarm is configurable using the
DSE Configuration Suite Software.

DSE Part number 020-012 - Magnetic Pickup probe 5/8 UNF 2½” thread length
DSE Part number 020-013 - Magnetic Pickup probe 5/8 UNF 4” thread length
Magnetic Pickup devices can often be ‘shared’ between two or more devices. For example, one
device can often supply the signal to both the DSE module and the engine governor. The possibility
of this depends upon the amount of current that the magnetic pickup can supply.

3.8 COMMUNICATION PORT USAGE
3.8.1 USB CONNECTION
3.8.1.1 USB SLAVE PORT (CONFIGURATION)
The USB port is provided to give a simple means of connection between a PC and the controller.
Using the DSE Configuration Suite Software, the operator is then able to control the module, starting
or stopping the engine, selecting operating modes, etc.
Additionally, the various operating parameters (such as coolant temperature, oil pressure, etc.) of the
engine are available to be viewed or changed.
To connect a module to a PC by USB, the following items are required:
• DSEE800 Controller
• DSE Configuration Suite PC Software

(Supplied on configuration suite software CD or available
from www.deepseaplc.com).
• USB cable Type A to Type B.

(This is the same cable as often used between a PC and a
USB printer)
NOTE: DSE stock 2 m (6.5 feet) USB type A to type B cable, DSE Part Number: 016-125.
Alternatively they are purchased from any PC or IT store.
NOTE: The DC supply must be connected to the module for configuration by PC.
NOTE: For further details of module configuration, refer to DSE Publication: 057-203
DSEE800 Configuration Software Manual.
3.8.1.2 USB HOST PORT (USB STORAGE DEVICE CONNECTION)
USB Type A connection for an of external USB storage device of maximum 16 GB for
instrumentation data logging.
15
Specification
3.8.2 RS232 PORT
The RS232 port on the controller supports the Modbus RTU protocol and is for connection to a single
Modbus master device only.
The MODBUS register table for the controller is available upon request from the DSE Technical
Support Department.
RS232 is for short distance communication (max 15m) and is typically used to connect the controller
to a telephone or GSM modem for more remote communications.
The various operating parameters (such as coolant temperature, oil pressure, etc.) of the remote
engine are viewed or changed.
NOTE: For a single module to PC connection and distances up to 6 m (20 feet) the USB
connection method is more suitable and provides for a lower cost alternative to RS485 (which
is more suited to longer distance connections).
Many PCs are not fitted with an internal RS232 serial port. DSE DOES NOT recommend the use of
USB to RS232 convertors but can recommend PC add-ons to provide the computer with an RS232
port.

Specification
3.8.2.3 RS485 PORT
The RS485 port on the controller supports the Modbus RTU protocol and is for connection to a single
Modbus master device only.
The DSE MODBUS register table for the controller is available upon request from the DSE Technical
Support Department.
RS485 is used for point-to-point cable connection of more than one device (maximum 32 devices)
and allows for connection to PCs, PLCs and Building Management Systems (to name just a few
devices).
One advantage of the RS485 interface is the large distance specification (1.2 km when using Belden
9841 (or equivalent) cable. This allows for a large distance between the module and a PC running the
DSE Configuration Suite software. The operator is then able to control the module, starting or
stopping the engine, selecting operating modes, etc.

Support Department.
Ethernet is used for point-to-point cable connection of more than one device and allows for
connection to PCs, PLCs and Building Management Systems (to name just a few devices).
One advantage of the Ethernet interface is the ability to interface into an existing LAN (Local Area
Network) connection for remote connection via an internet connection. This allows for a large
distance between the module and a PC running the DSE Configuration Suite software. The operator
is then able to control the module, starting or stopping the engine, selecting operating modes, etc.

3.8.3.5 FIREWALL CONFIGURATION FOR INTERNET ACCESS
As modem/routers differ enormously in their configuration, it is not possible for DSE to give a
complete guide to their use with the module. However it is possible to give a description of the
requirements in generic terms. For details of how to achieve the connection to your modem/router
you are referred to the supplier of your modem/router equipment.
The module makes its data available over Modbus TCP and as such communicates over the
Ethernet using a Port configured via the DSE Configuration Suite software.
You must configure your modem/router to allow inbound traffic on this port. For more information you
are referred to your WAN interface device (modem/router) manufacturer.
It is also important to note that if the port assigned (setting from software “Modbus Port Number”) is
already in use on the LAN, the module cannot be used and another port must be used.
Outgoing Firewall Rule
As the module makes its user interface available to standard web browsers, all communication uses
the chosen port. It is usual for a firewall to make the same port outgoing open for communication.
Incoming Traffic (Virtual Server)
Network Address and Port Translation (NAPT) allows a single device, such as the modem/router
gateway, to act as an agent between the Internet (or "public external network") and a local (or
"internal private") network. This means that only a single, unique IP address is required to represent
an entire group of computers.
For our application, this means that the WAN IP address of the modem/router is the IP address we
need to access the site from an external (internet) location.
When the requests reach the modem/router, we want this passed to a ‘virtual server’ for handling, in
our case this is the module.
Result: Traffic arriving from the WAN (internet) on port xxx is automatically sent to IP address set
within the configuration software on the LAN for handling.
25
Specification
3.8.4 CAN PORT
Modules are fitted with the CAN interface as standard and are capable of
receiving engine data from engine CAN controllers compliant with the
CAN standard.
CAN enabled engine controllers monitor the engine’s operating
parameters such as engine speed, oil pressure, engine temperature
(among others) in order to closely monitor and control the engine. The industry standard
communications interface (CAN) transports data gathered by the engine controller interface. This
allows engine controllers to access these engine parameters with no physical connection to the
sensor device.

Specification
3.9 SOUNDER
The module features an internal sounder to draw attention to warning, shutdown and Controlled
Shutdown alarms.
Sounder Level 64 db at 1 m
3.9.1 ADDING AN EXTERNAL SOUNDER
Should an external alarm or indicator be required, this can be achieved by using the DSE
Configuration Suite PC software to configure an auxiliary output for “Audible Alarm”, and by
configuring an auxiliary input for “Alarm Mute” (if required).
The audible alarm output activates and de-activates at the same time as the module’s internal
sounder. The Alarm mute input and internal Lamp Test / Alarm Mute button activate ‘in parallel’
with each other. Either signal mutes the internal sounder and audible alarm output.
Example of configuration to achieve external sounder with external alarm mute button:

5.2.5 EVENT LOG
The module maintains a log of past alarms and/or selected status changes.
The log size has been increased in the module over past module updates and is always subject to
change. At the time of writing, the modules log is capable of storing the last 250 log entries.
Under default factory settings, the event log is configured to include all possible options; however,
this is configurable by the system designer using the DSE Configuration Suite software.
Example showing the possible

configuration of the modules event
log (DSE Configuration Suite
Software). This also shows the
factory settings of the module.
When the event log is full, any subsequent event overwrites the oldest entry. Hence, the event log
always contains the most recent events. The module logs the event type, along with the date and
time (or engine running hours if configured to do so). If the module is configured and connected to a
modem, an SMS message is sent on any logged event.
To view the event log, repeatedly press the Next or Previous Page buttons until the LCD
screen displays the Event Log page.

5.2.6 SERIAL PORT
5.2.6.1 RS232 SERIAL PORT
This section is included to give information about the RS232 serial port and external modem (if
connected).
The items displayed on this page change depending upon configuration of the module. You are
referred to your system supplier for further details.
NOTE: Factory Default settings are for the RS232 port to be enabled with no modem
connected, operating at 19200 baud, Modbus slave address 10.
Module Connected To an RS232 Telephone Modem
When the module is powered up, it sends ‘initialisation strings’ to the connected modem. It is
important therefore that the modem is already powered, or is powered up at the same time as the
module. At regular intervals after power up, the modem is reset, and reinitialised, to ensure the
modem does not ‘hang up’.
If the module does not correctly communicate with the modem, “Modem initialising’ appears on the
Serial Port instrument screen as shown overleaf.
If the module is set for “incoming calls” or for “incoming and outgoing calls”, once the modem is
dialled, it answers after two rings (using the factory setting ‘initialisation strings). Once the call is
established, all data is passed between the dialling PC and the module.
If the module is set for “outgoing calls” or for “incoming and outgoing calls”, then the module dials out
whenever an alarm is generated.
NOTE: Not all alarms generate a dial out command; this is dependant upon module
configuration of the event log. Any event configured to be recorded in the event log causes
the modem to dial out to a PC.
Press the Scroll Down button view the modem

status....
Indicates that the RS232 port is

configured for modem use. It displays
‘RS232’ if no modem is configured.
58
Module Connected To an RS232 GSM Modem
When the module is powered up, it sends ‘initialisation strings’ to the connected modem. It is
important therefore that the modem is already powered, or is powered up at the same time as the
module. At regular intervals after power up, the modem is reset, and reinitialised, to ensure the
modem does not ‘hang up’.
If the module does not correctly communicate with the modem, “Modem initialising’ appears on the
Serial Port instrument screen as shown overleaf.
If the module is set for “incoming calls” or for “incoming and outgoing calls”, once the modem is
dialled, it answers after two rings (using the factory setting ‘initialisation strings). Once the call is
established, all data is passed between the dialling PC and the module.
If the module is set for “outgoing calls” or for “incoming and outgoing calls”, then the module dials out
whenever an alarm is generated.
NOTE: Not all alarms generate a dial out command; this is dependant upon module
configuration of the event log. Any event configured to be recorded in the event log causes
the modem to dial out to a PC.
Many GSM modems are fitted with a status LED to show operator cell status and ringing indicator.
These are a useful troubleshooting tool.
In the case of GSM connection problems, try calling the DATA number of the SIMCARD with an
ordinary telephone. There should be two rings, followed by the modem answering the call and then
‘squealing’. If this does not happen, you should check all modem connections and double check with
the SIM provider that it is a DATA SIM and can operate as a data modem. DATA is NOT the same as
FAX or GPRS and is often called Circuit Switched Data (CSD) by the SIM provider.
Press the Scroll Down button view the modem GSM

status....
Currently connected GSM

operator and signal strength.
NOTE: In the case of GSM modems, it is important that a DATA ENABLED SIM is used.
This is often a different number than the ‘voice number’ and is often called Circuit Switched
Data (CSD) by the SIM provider.
If the GSM modem is not purchased from DSE, ensure that it has been correctly set to operate at
9600 baud.
59
Modem Initialisation Sequence
1) The modem attempts to communicate to the module
2) If the Modem and module communicate successfully:
3) In case of communication failure between the modem and module, the modem is automatically
reset and initialisation is attempted once more:
In the case of a module that is unable to communicate with the modem, the display continuously
cycles between ‘Modem Reset’ and ‘Modem Initialising’ as the module resets the modem and
attempts to communicate with it again, this continues until correct communication is established
with the modem. In this instance, you should check connections and verify the modem operation.
Module Modem Diagnostics
Modem diagnostic screens are included; press the Scroll Down button when viewing the
RS232 Serial Port instruments to cycle to the available screens. If you are experiencing modem
communication problems, this information aids troubleshooting.
Shows the state of the modem communication lines. These can help

Module RS232 Port Configured For Connection to A Modbus Master
The modules operate as a modbus RTU slave device. In a modbus system, there is only one Master,
typically a PLC, HMI system or PC SCADA system.
This master requests for information from the modbus slave (The module) and may (in control
systems) also send request to change operating modes etc. Unless the Master makes a request, the
slave is ‘quiet’ on the data link.
The factory settings are for the module to

communicate at 19200 baud, modbus slave
address 10.
To use the RS232 port, ensure that ‘port usage’ is

correctly set using the DSE Configuration Suite
Software.
‘Master inactivity timeout’ should be set to at

least twice the value of the system scan time. For
example if a modbus master PLC requests data
from the module once per second, the timeout
should be set to at least 2 seconds
The DSE MODBUS document containing register mappings inside the DSE module is available upon
request from support@deepseaplc.com. Email your request along with the serial number of your
DSE module to ensure the correct information is sent to you.

referred to your system supplier for further details.
NOTE: Factory Default settings are for the RS485 port to operate at 19200 baud, modbus
slave address 10.
Module RS485 Port Configured For Connection to A Modbus Master
The modules operate as a modbus RTU slave device.

In a modbus system, there is only one Master, typically a PLC,
HMI system or PC SCADA system.
This master requests for information from the modbus slave

(The module) and may (in control systems) also send request
to change operating modes etc. Unless the Master makes a request, the slave is ‘quiet’ on the data
link.
The factory settings are for the module to

communicate at 19200 baud, modbus slave
address 10.
‘Master inactivity timeout’ should be set to at

least twice the value of the system scan time.
For example if a modbus master PLC requests
data from the module once per second, the
timeout should be set to at least 2 seconds.
The DSE MODBUS document containing register mappings inside the DSE module is available upon
request from support@deepseaplc.com. Email your request along with the serial number of your
DSE module to ensure the correct information is sent to you.
Typical Requests (Using Pseudo Code)
BatteryVoltage=ReadRegister(10,0405,1): reads register (hex) 0405 as a single register (battery

volts) from slave address 10.
WriteRegister(10,1008,2,35701, 65535-35701): Puts the module into AUTO mode by writing to

(hex) register 1008, the values 35701 (auto mode) and register 1009 the value 65535-35701 (the

possible. Viewing the instruments and event logs is NOT affected by panel lock.
Off Mode is activated by pressing the Stop/Reset Mode button followed by the Off Mode
button.
The LED above the Off Mode button illuminates to indicate that the controller is in the Off Mode.
In Off Mode , the engine does not start manually or automatically.
Press the Off Mode button again to awaken the module. The module awakens in the
Stop/Reset Mode .
70
Operation
6.3 MANUAL MODE
Manual Mode is activated by pressing the Manual Mode button.

The LED above the Manual Mode button illuminates to indicate Manual Mode operations.
In Manual Mode , the set does not start automatically.

To begin the starting sequence, press the Start button.
6.3.1 STARTING SEQUENCE
NOTE: There is no start delay in this mode of operation.
The fuel relay is energised and the engine is cranked.
NOTE: If the unit has been configured for CAN, compatible ECU’s receives the start
command via CAN.
If the engine fails to fire during this cranking attempt then the starter motor is disengaged for the
crank rest duration after which the next start attempt is made. Should this sequence continue beyond
the set number of attempts, the start sequence is terminated and the display shows the Fail to Start
alarm.
The starter motor is disengaged when the engine fires. Speed detection is derived from the Pulse
Pickup Terminals which are measured from a Magnetic Pickup mounted on the flywheel, charge
alternator tachometer output or from the CANbus link to the engine ECU depending on module
configuration.
Additionally, rising oil pressure can be used to disconnect the starter motor (but cannot detect
underspeed or overspeed).
After the starter motor has disengaged, the Safety On Delay timer activates, allowing Oil Pressure,
High Engine Temperature, Under-speed, Charge Fail and any delayed Auxiliary fault inputs to
stabilise without triggering the fault.
71
Operation
6.3.2 ENGINE RUNNING
Once the engine is running and all starting timers have expired, the engine is seen as available.
In Manual Mode , the Clutch Control output (if configured) activates automatically if the engine
speed has increased above the configured engage value.
NOTE: The Clutch Control remains inactive until the Oil Pressure has risen. This prevents
excessive wear on the engine.
Once the engine has been placed on load, it is not automatically removed. To manually remove the
load either:
• Press the Auto Mode button to return to automatic mode. The set observes all
Auto Mode start requests and stopping timers before beginning the Auto Mode Stopping
Sequence.
• Press the Stop/Reset Mode button to remove load and stop the engine.
6.3.3 STOPPING SEQUENCE
In Manual Mode the set continues to run until either:
• The Stop/Reset Mode button is pressed – The Clutch Control output is de-activated
immediately and the engine immediately stops.
• The Auto Mode button is pressed. The set observes all Auto Mode start requests
and stopping timers before beginning the Auto Mode Stopping Sequence.
72
Operation
6.4 AUTOMATIC MODE
NOTE: If a digital input configured to external panel lock is active, changing module
modes is not possible. Viewing the instruments and event logs is NOT affected by panel lock.
Auto Mode is activated by pressing the Auto Mode button.

The LED above the Auto Mode button illuminates to indicate Auto Mode operations.
Auto Mode allows the engine to operate fully automatically, starting and stopping as required
with no user intervention.
6.4.1 WAITING IN AUTO MODE
If a starting request is made, the starting sequence begins.

Starting requests are from the following sources:
• Activation of an auxiliary input that has been configured to Remote Start.

• Activation of the inbuilt exercise scheduler.
6.4.2 STARTING SEQUENCE
To allow for ‘false’ start requests, the start delay timer begins.
Should all start requests be removed during the start delay timer, the unit returns to a stand-by state.
If a start request is still present at the end of the start delay timer, the fuel relay is energised and the
engine is cranked.
NOTE: If the unit has been configured for CAN, compatible ECU’s receive the start
command via CAN and transmit the engine speed to the DSE controller.
If the engine fails to fire during this cranking attempt then the starter motor is disengaged for the
crank rest duration after which the next start attempt is made. Should this sequence continue beyond
the set number of attempts, the start sequence is terminated and the display shows the Fail to Start
alarm.
The starter motor is disengaged when the engine fires. Speed detection is derived from the Pulse
Pickup Terminals which are measured from a Magnetic Pickup mounted on the flywheel, charge
alternator tachometer output or from the CANbus link to the engine ECU depending on module
configuration.
Additionally, rising oil pressure can be used to disconnect the starter motor (but cannot detect
underspeed or overspeed).
After the starter motor has disengaged, the Safety On Delay timer activates, allowing Oil Pressure,
High Engine Temperature, Under-speed, Charge Fail and any delayed Auxiliary fault inputs to
stabilise without triggering the fault.
73
Operation
6.4.3 ENGINE RUNNING
Once the engine is running and all starting timers have expired, the engine is seen as available.
The Clutch Control output (if configured) activates automatically if configured to do so.
NOTE: The Clutch Control remains inactive until the Oil Pressure has risen. This prevents
excessive wear on the engine.
If all start requests are removed, the stopping sequence begins.
6.4.4 STOPPING SEQUENCE
The Return Delay timer operates to ensure that the starting request has been permanently removed
and isn’t just a short term removal. Should another start request be made during the cooling down
period, the engine returns on load.
If there are no starting requests at the end of the Return Delay timer, the Clutch Control output (if
configured) de-activates and the Cooling Down Timer is initiated.
The Cooling Down Timer allows the engine to run off load and cool sufficiently before being stopped.
This is particularly important where turbo chargers are fitted.
After the Cooling Down timer has expired, the set is stopped.
74
Operation
6.5 STOP/RESET MODE
Stop/Reset Mode is activated by pressing the Stop/Reset Mode button.

The LED above the Stop/Reset Mode button illuminates to indicate Stop/Reset Mode
operations.
In Stop/Reset Mode , the module removes the engine from load (if necessary) before stopping if
it is already running.
If the engine does not stop when requested, the Fail To Stop Alarm is activated (subject to the
setting of the Fail to Stop timer). To detect the engine at rest the following must occur :
• Engine speed is zero as detected by the CANbus ECU or Pulse Pickup Input
• Charge Alternator Voltage must be zero.
• Oil pressure sensor must indicate low oil pressure
When the engine has stopped, it is possible to send configuration files to the module from DSE
Configuration Suite PC software and to enter the Front Panel Editor to change parameters.
Any latched alarms that have been cleared are reset when Stop/Reset Mode is entered.
The engine is not started when in Stop/Reset Mode . If remote start signals are given, the input is
ignored until Auto Mode is entered.
When left in Stop/Reset Mode with no presses of the fascia buttons and configured for Sleep
Mode, the module enters Sleep Mode. To ‘wake’ the module, press any fascia control buttons.

Protections
7.2 PROTECTIONS DISABLED

User configuration is possible to prevent Shutdown & Controlled Shutdown alarms from stopping the
engine. Under such conditions, Protections Disabled appears on the module display to inform the
operator of this status.
This feature is provided to assist the system designer in meeting specifications for “Warning Only”,
“Protections Disabled”, “Run to Destruction”, “War Mode” or other similar wording.
When configuring this feature in the PC software, the system designer chooses to make the feature
either permanently active, or only active upon operation of an external switch. The system designer
provides this switch (not DSE) so its location varies depending upon manufacturer, however it
normally takes the form of a key operated switch to prevent inadvertent activation. Depending upon
configuration, a warning alarm may be generated when the switch is operated.
The feature is configurable in the PC configuration software for the module. Writing a configuration to
the controller that has “Protections Disabled” configured, results in a warning message appearing on
the PC screen for the user to acknowledge before the controller’s configuration is changed. This
prevents inadvertent activation of the feature.
7.2.1 INDICATION AND WARNING ALARMS
Under Indication or Warning alarms:
• The module operation is unaffected by the Protections Disabled feature. See sections
entitled Indications and Warning Alarms elsewhere in this document.
7.2.2 SHUTDOWN AND CONTROLLED SHUTDOWN ALARMS
NOTE: The Emergency Stop input and Engine Overspeed Shutdown alarms continue to
operate even when Protections Disabled has been activated.
Under Shutdown or Controlled Shutdown alarm conditions (excluding Emergency Stop and
Overspeed):
• The alarm is displayed on the screen as detailed in the section entitled Shutdown Alarms or
Controlled Shutdown Alarms elsewhere in this document.
• The set continues to run.
• The Clutch Control maintains active (it is not opened if already closed)
• Shutdown Blocked also appears on the LCD screen to inform the operator that the
Protections Disabled feature has blocked the shutdown of the engine under the normally
critical fault.
• The ‘shutdown’ alarm is logged by the controllers Event Log (if configured to log shutdown
alarms) and logs that the Shutdown was prevented.

Before the system is started, it is recommended that the following checks are made:
• The unit is adequately cooled and all the wiring to the module is of a standard and rating
compatible with the system. Check all mechanical parts are fitted correctly and that all electrical
connections (including earths) are sound.
• The unit DC supply is fused and connected to the battery and that it is of the correct polarity.
• The Emergency Stop input is wired to an external normally closed switch connected to DC
positive.
NOTE: If Emergency Stop feature is not required, link the input to the DC Positive.
• To check the start cycle operation, take appropriate measures to prevent the engine from starting
(disable the operation of the fuel solenoid). After a visual inspection to ensure it is safe to
proceed, connect the battery supply. Press the Manual Mode button followed by the Start
button the unit start sequence commences.
• The starter engages and operates for the pre-set crank period. After the starter motor has
attempted to start the engine for the pre-set number of attempts, the LCD displays ‘Failed to
start. Press the Stop/Reset Mode button to reset the unit.
• Restore the engine to operational status (reconnect the fuel solenoid). Press the
Manual Mode button followed by the Start button. This time the engine should start and
the starter motor should disengage automatically. If not then check that the engine is fully
operational (fuel available, etc.) and that the fuel solenoid is operating. The engine should now
run up to operating speed. If not, and an alarm is present, check the alarm condition for validity,
then check input wiring. The engine should continue to run for an indefinite period. It is possible
at this time to view the engine parameters - refer to the ‘Description of Controls’ section of this
manual.
• Press the Auto Mode button, the engine runs for the pre-set cooling down period, then stop.
The engine should stay in the standby mode. If not check that there is not a signal present on the
Remote Start Input.
• Initiate an automatic start by supplying the remote start signal (if configured). The start sequence
commences and the engine runs up to operational speed. Once the engine is available the
Clutch Control output activates (if configured). If not, check the wiring to the clutch control
mechanism. Check the Warming timer has timed out.
• Remove the remote start signal. The return sequence begins. After the pre-set time, the engine is
unloaded. The engine then runs for the pre-set cooling down period, then shutdown into its
standby mode.
• Set the modules internal clock/calendar to ensure correct operation of the scheduler and event
logging functions. For details of this procedure see section entitled Front Panel Configuration
• If, despite repeated checking of the connections between the controller and the customer’s
system, satisfactory operation cannot be achieved, then the customer is requested to the DSE

an earlier configuration configuration is first ‘read’ from the controller before editing it. This
edited configuration must then be “written” back to the controller for
the changes to take effect.
When editing a configuration using the fascia editor, be sure to press
the Tick button to save the change before moving to another

item or exiting the fascia editor
