General description of system with Bank
Controller
NOTE:
The "Bank controller" is a firmware branch for InteliSys NT controllers (any of it‘s hardware modification). For
more details about the available Firmware, Hardware and Archive file consult this chapter.
NOTE:
In the role of “MINT” controller the InteliGen NT or InteliSys NT controller with appropriate Firmware and
Archive must be used. For more details consult this chapter.
The "Bank controller" concentrates group of gen-sets, equipped with IG-NT or IS-NT MINT application, so
that from the outside point of view the group behaves as one large gen-set. Bank controllers can be
connected together so that large "tree-style" multisites (power stations) can be created. The aim of the Bank
controller is to overrride the limit 32 controllers on the CAN-2 bus.
TREE-STYLE POWER STATION
Several important notes to the tree-style structure:
• One bank can contain up to 31 controllers. Address 32 is reserved for the Bank controller itself.
• It is possible to connect up to 32 banks together.
• Load sharing, VAR sharing and shared peripherial modules do work over the whole multisite.
• Power management works among all the gen-sets in the system to ensure the equal run hours and
the most efficient combination of running gen-sets to cover the actual load demand and the
requested load reserve.
