Corresponding warning is blocked when Binary outputs Speed Up, Speed Dn or AVR up, AVR dn are
configured.
It is not recommended to process these signals via the internal PLC, as the precise signal timing would be
distorted.
Binary outputs – Status information
Ready for load
The output closes when the engine is running, no 2
nd
level protection is active and the GCB is already closed
or is able to be closed (i.e. all generator parameters are within limits).
Gen-set active
The output closes together with Starting state and opens after the BI: ReadyToLoad deactivation.
Hint:
The output also closes if the engine begins to rotate spontaneously. It stays closed until “still engine”
condition is achieved.
Operational
The output is closed when no protection is active and the gen-set is ready for operation or is currently in
operation.
Ready
The output is closed, if following conditions are fulfilled:
- Gen-set is not running and
- No 2
nd
level protection is active (or not yet reset)
- The controller has no “engine running” indication from any source
- The controller is not in OFF mode
Not ready
The output is closed, if following conditions are fulfilled:
- The controller in OFF mode or
- Any 2
nd
level alarm is active or not yet reset
Starting
The output is closed during the controller Starting state.
Running
The output is closed in Running state and stays closed if the engine is loaded.
ForwardSynchro
The output is closed during forward synchronizing and opens when GCB status gets active (= GCB was
closed). The output can be used for external synchronizing module control.
Loaded
The output is closed when gen-set is loaded – GCB is closed and no load ramp is active.
Soft unload
The output is closed during gen-set soft unloading state – gen-set power is ramping down.
Stopping
The output closes after the command to stop has been issued. It opens if “still engine” conditions are fulfilled.
The output also closes if the engine begins to rotate spontaneously. It stays closed until “still engine”
condition is achieved.
