2 DESCRIPTIONThis manual covers the operation of the DSE Configuration Suite for DSE8700 series synchronisingmodules. Separate manuals cover the remaining DSE modules supported by the software. The Help sectionof the software contains links to these documents, copied onto the PC during the software installationprocess.

The DSE configuration suite allows the DSE8700 family of modules to be connected to a PC via USB A USB B cable. Once connected the various operating parameters within the module can be viewed or editedas required by the engineer. This software allows easy controlled access to these values and also hasdiagnostic monitoring facilities.

The configuration suite should only be used by competent, qualified personnel, as changes to the operation ofthe module may have safety implications on the panel / generating set to which it is fitted. Access to criticaloperational sequences and settings for use by qualified engineers, may be barred by a security code set bythe generator provider.The information contained in this manual should be read in conjunction with the information contained in theappropriate module documentation. This manual only details which settings are available and how they maybe used.A separate manual deals with the operation of the individual module (See section entitled Bibliography elsewhere in this document).

3.2 HARDWARE INSTALLATION

Ensure the Configuration Suite Software is installed on the PC as described above.The installation of the PC software also installs the DSE Controller USB Driver automatically.Connect the USB cable to the module and to the PC as shown below.

Windows detects the module when power is applied to it.

You are now ready to configure or monitor the module using the Configuration Suite Software.

3.3 TROUBLESHOOTING INSTALLATION

Occasionally USB devices are disabled by the Windows operating system, the following procedure will re-

enable the device in these instances.

Disconnect the Deep Sea Electronics Controller from the USB port. Wait a moment, then reconnectand try again. If you still encounter problems then :

Try another USB cable. If you dont have one, its the same type of cable as usually used between aPC and a USB printer (Type A to Type B). If you still encounter problems then :

Disconnect the Deep Sea Electronics Controller. Shutdown, then restart the PC. Reconnect theinterface, and then try again. If you continue to experience problems then :

Check the USB port with another device (for instance a mouse, printer or digital camera).

5.2.1 ACCESS PERMISSIONS

Access permissions is an advanced Administration option to allow OEMS to setup the Configuration Suitesoftware to limit access for certain users.For instance, the generator OEM can install the software on the End Users PC and then setup multipleusernames to limit the customers access to only those functions that the OEM requires for the end user.An example of this is to give only SCADA access to a user requiring monitoring, or to give access to read and

write configuration files, but not to edit a configuration file.

Create a new user type

Select Edit, then New to createa new user

If this input is active, the load demand start up and shut down scheme will be activated whentwo or more generators are running in parallel.

Enable fast loadingfeature(DSE8710 only)

= Normal Operation, the safety on timer will be observed in full. This feature is useful if themodule is to be used with some small engines where pre-mature termination of the delaytimer can lead to overspeed alarms on start up.

= The module will terminate the safety on timer once all monitored parameters havereached their normal settings. This feature is useful if the module is to be used as a standbycontroller as it allows the generator to start and go on load in the shortest possible time.

NOTE: - Enabling Fast Loading is only recommended where steps have beentaken to ensure rapid start up of the engine is possible. (For example when fitted withengine heaters, electronic governors etc.)

Audible alarm priorto starting(DSE8710 only)

= The module will start with no audible indication = The module will give an audible warning during the pre-heat timer as an indicator that

the set is about to run. This is often a sites specification requirement of AUTO modeoperation.

MiscellaneousOptionsEnable ImmediateMains Dropout

= Normal Operation, in the event of a mains failure the module will attempt to maintain thesupply to the load for the incoming AC mains supply until the generator is available to go onload. In the event of a generator failure the module will default back to the incoming ACmains supply. This provides a fail-safe system, ensuring that in the event of a system failurethe load will still be fed from the AC mains supply.

= As soon as the module detects a mains failure the mains contactor or breaker relay willbe opened to remove the supply from the load. This is to prevent damage to the load in caseof a single-phase failure; especially useful if the load is a 3-phase motor or pump. Thesupply to the load will then be fed from the gen-set once it is available. In the event of agenerator failure, the module will open the generator relay and remove the supply to the loaduntil either the mains supply is restored or the generator is restarted.

All Warnings AreLatched

= Normal Operation, the warnings and pre-alarms will automatically reset once thetriggering condition has cleared.

= Warnings and pre-alarms latch when triggered. Resetting the alarm is performed byeither an external reset applied to one of the inputs or, the Stop/Reset pushbutton must beoperated (once the triggering condition has been cleared).

Inhibit Retransfer ToMains

IEEE 37.2 - 3Checking orinterlocking relay

= When the mains supply is reinstated after a failure, the re-transfer back to mains willtake place.

= This prevents the load being transferred back to the mains supply, even in the event ofthe generators failing. This can be used in peak lopping systems where the cost of using themains to supply the load is so prohibitive that the customer does not want to transfer back tothe mains supply.

Enable Forced PeakLop Inhibit

IEEE 37.2 - 3Checking orinterlocking relay

This function is applicable only to systems with more than one 8760 controller. Thedescription below discusses a two controller system, named 1 and 2.

= If the 8760 (1) is in manual mode using the generator sets to peak lop a mains supplyand another 8760 (2) requests the generators to power its load following a mains failure, the8760 (1) will relinquish the generators to the other 8760 (2)

= The 8760 (1) will continue to use the generator sets regardless of requests by other8760 controllers for usage of the generators.

NOTE:- This option only has effect in Manual Mode.If the 8760 using the generators for Peak Lopping is in Auto Mode, then requests fromanother 8760 for the generators following a mains failure will always be granted andthe peak lopping operation is suspended.

Enable sleep mode =Normal operation =The module goes into "sleep mode if left in manual mode for a prolonged time with no

6.3.3 CAN DATA FAIL ALARM

Parameter DescriptionCAN data failalarm

Action:None: Should communications from the engine ECU not be present, no action is taken. TheDSE8700 series module ignores shutdown messages from the engine ECU leaving these tobe handled by the engine ECU. The DSE module continues to provide protection on any

parameters measured directly

Shutdown: The engine is immediately shutdown upon loss of communications from theengine ECU.

Warning: Should communications from the engine ECU not be present, a warning alarm isgenerated. The DSE8700 series module ignores shutdown messages from the engine ECUleaving these to be handled by the engine ECU. The DSE module continues to provideprotection on any parameters measured directly

Arming :From safety On: The communications link monitoring is activated after the termination of theSafety Delay Timer.

From Starting : The communications link monitoring is activated once the engine crankingbegins.

6.3.4 AUTO VOLTAGE SENSING

Auto voltage sensing instructs the controller to monitor the generators output during the safety delay ti mer.During this time, the controller identifies the nominal voltage, frequency and topology of the alternator outputand selects the most appropriate alternative configuration to use.This is particularly useful where a generator is switched from 50Hz/60Hz or 120V/240V for example.

NOTE: - During the safety delay timer, the module factory set status page will display the L-Nvoltage, based upon the generator being 3 phase, 4 wire. This can lead to incorrect status display

during the safety timer if Auto Voltage Sensing is enabled and the generator is not 3ph 4w. To preventthis, the status page can be customised to display other parameters if required. At the end of thesafety timer, the correct voltages will be displayed.

ApplicationOptions

Description

Enable AutoVoltage Sensing

= The module will operate as normal. = Auto voltage sensing is enabled. During the safety delay timer, the module attempts to

measure the systems nominal voltage and frequency and determine the topology of thealternator wiring. At the end of the safety timer, the main and alternative configurations areanalysed to see which one is most appropriate to suit the connected syste m and the modulecontinues to operate, using the most appropriate configuration to provide protection.

6.4.7 DIGITAL INPUT FUNCTIONS

Where a digital input is NOT configured as user configured, a selection can be made from a list ofpredefined functions. The selections are as follows:

Under the scope of IEEE 37.2, function numbers can also be used to represent functions in microprocessordevices and software programs . Where the DSE input functions can be represented by IEEE 37.2, the

function number is listed below.

= Only applicable to DSE8760 Modules Function DescriptionAir flap closed auxiliaryIEEE 37.2 - 3 Checking orinterlocking relay

This input is used to connect to the Air flap switch contacts. This willgive an immediate shutdown in the event of the air-flap being closed. Itwill also prevent the generator from being restarted if the air flap has notbeen reset following an overspeed shutdown.

Alarm Mute This input is used to silence the audible alarm from an external source,such as a remote mute switch.

Alarm Reset This input is used to reset any latched alarms from a remote location. Itis also used to clear any latched warnings which may have occurred (ifconfigured) without having to stop the generator.

Alt Config 1-3 Select These inputs are used to instruct the DSE8700 Series module to followone of the alternative configuration settings instead of the main configuration settings.

Auto Restore InhibitIEEE 37.2 - 3 checking orinterlocking relay

In the event of a remote start/mains failure, the generator will beinstructed to start and take load. On removal of the remote startsignal/mains return the module will continue to run the generator onload until the Auto Restore Inhibit input is removed. This input allowsthe controller to be fitted as part of a system where the restoration tomains is controlled remotely or by an automated system.

Auto start InhibitIEEE 37.2 - 3 checking orinterlocking relay

This input is used to provide an over-ride function to prevent thecontroller from starting the generator in the event of a remotestart/mains out of limits condition occurring. If this input is active and aremote start signal/mains failure occurs the module will not give a startcommand to the generator. If this input signal is then removed, thecontroller will operate as if a remote start/mains failure has occurred,starting and loading the generator. This function can be used to give anAND function so that a generator will only be called to start if themains fails and another condition exists which requires the generator torun. If the Auto start Inhibit signal becomes active once more it will beignored until the module has returned the mains supply on load andshutdown.This input does not prevent starting of the engine in MANUAL or TESTmodes.

Auxiliary Mains Fail The module will monitor the incoming single or three phase supply forOver voltage, Under Voltage, Over Frequency or Under frequency. Itmay be required to monitor a different mains supply or some aspect ofthe incoming mains not monitored by the controller. If the devicesproviding this additional monitoring are connected to operate this input,the controller will operate as if the incoming mains supply has fallen

outside of limits, the generator will be instructed to start and take theload. Removal of the input signal will cause the module to act if themains has returned to within limits providing that the mains sensing alsoindicates that the mains is within limits.

Bus Closed AuxiliaryIEEE 37.2 - 3 Checking orinterlocking relay

This input is used to provide feedback to allow the DSE8760 to givetrue indication of the contactor or circuit breaker switching status. Itshould be connected to the generator bus load switching deviceauxiliary contact.

Action: Warning (Alarm only, No shutdown)


44/165


44

Function DescriptionBus Load InhibitIEEE 37.2 - 3 Checking orinterlocking relay

This input is used to prevent the DSE8760 from loading the generatorbus. If the generator is already on load, activating this input will causethe DSE8760 to unload the generator bus. Removing the input will allowthe bus to be loaded again.

NOTE: -This input only operates to control the generator bus

load switching device if the DSE8760 load switching logic isattempting to load the generator. It will not control the generator-switching device when the mains supply is on load.

Clear ROCOF / Vector Shift This input is used to reset the module following a ROCOF or vector shifttrip. The input must switch from inactive to active to reset the trip, itcannot be left permanently active.

Close GeneratorIEEE 37.2 - 52 AC circuit breaker(DSE8710 only)

Closes the Generator load switch (synchronising first if required)

Coolant Temperature Highswitch(DSE8710 only)

This input is used to give a Coolant Temperature Hig h shutdown from adigital normally open or closed switch. It allows coolant temperatureprotection using the switch and the analogue input can be used inparallel to give protection or configured to be used for indication only.

Disable Protections(DSE8710 only)

The system designer provides this switch (not DSE) so its location will

vary depending upon manufacturer, however it normally takes the formof a key operated switch to prevent inadvertent activation. Dependingupon configuration, a warning alarm may be generated when the switchis operated.When active, and the module is suitably configured (see section entitledApplication) this prevents the engine being stopped upon critical alarm(Sometimes called War Mode or Run to Destruction)

Droop enable(DSE8710 only)

This input is used to switch the engine into droop mode on CANengines that support this function.

Duty SelectIEEE 37.2 - 10 Unit sequenceswitch

This input is used to force the appropriate set to become the duty setwhen using a load demand scheme. Irrespective of the priority numberconfigured in the module, it will be forced to become the priority set.This allows for manual duty selection, overriding the automatic systemnormally used by the modules.

EJP1 For the French EJP (Effacement Jours de Pointe) tarrif system.

This input is functionally identical to Remote Start Off Load.If this input is active, operation will be similar to the Remote Start onload function except that the generator will not be instructed to take theload. This function can be used where an engine only run is requirede.g. for exercise.

EJP2 For the French EJP (Effacement Jours de Pointe) tarrif system.

This input is functionally identical to Remote Start On Load.

When in auto mode, the module will perform the start sequence andtransfer load to the generator.If in Manual mode, the load will be transferred to the generator if the

engine is already running, however in manual mode, this input will notgenerate start/stop requests of the engine.In both cases, synchronising takes place if required.

External Panel Lock This input is used to provide security to the installation. If the ExternalPanel lock input is active, the module will not respond to operation ofthe Mode select or start buttons. This allows the module to be placedinto a specific mode (such as Auto) and then secured. The operation ofthe module is not affected and the operator will still be able to view thevarious instrumentation pages etc. ( Front panel configuration access isstill possible while the system lock is active ).

NOTE: - External control sources (i.e. Simulate Start Button)are not affected by the external panel lock input and will continue

to operate normally.

Function DescriptionGenerator Closed Auxiliary IEEE 37.2 - 3 Checking orinterlocking relay

This input is used to provide feedback to allow the DSE8700 to givetrue indication of the contactor or circuit breaker switching status. Itshould be connected to the generator load switching device auxiliarycontact.

Action:

Warning (Alarm only, No shutdown) Generator Load Inhibit IEEE 37.2 - 52 AC circuit breaker (DSE 8710 only)

This input is used to prevent the DSE8710 from loading the generator. Ifthe generator is already on load, activating this input will cause theDSE8710 to unload the generator. Removing the input will allow thegenerator to be loaded again.

NOTE: -This input only operates to control the generator-switching device if the DSE8710 load switching logic is attemptingto load the generator. It will not control the generator-switchingdevice when the mains supply is on load.

Inhibit Retransfer To MainsIEEE 37.2 - 3 checking orinterlocking relay

When active, this input prevents the load being transferred back to themains supply, even in the event of the generators failing. This can beused in peak lopping systems where the cost of using the mains tosupply the load is so prohibitive that the customer does not want totransfer back to the mains supply.

Inhibit Scheduled RunIEEE 37.2 - 3 checking orinterlocking relay

This input is used to provide a means of disabling a scheduled run.

Lamp Test This input is used to provide a test facility for the front panel indicatorsfitted to the DSE8700 module. When the input is activated all LEDsshould illuminate.

Load Share Inhibit When active, this input disables the VAr share control when in parallelLow Fuel Level Switch A digital normally open or closed fuel level switch gives this input. It

allows fuel level detection using the switch and the analogue input to beused in parallel to give protection or to be used for fuel level indicationonly.

Main Config Select This input is used to select the Main configuration when Alternative configurations are enabled.

Mains Parallel Mode(DSE8710 only)

This input is used to configure the DSE8710 load-sharing module as tohow it will operate when in parallel.If the input is not active, the DSE8710 will communicate with otherDSE8710 controllers to maintain equal share of the load betweensystems.If the mains parallel mode input is active, the controller will notcommunicate with others, but will instead ramp up to the pre-configuredlevel to peak lop with the mains supply.

Mains closed Auxiliary IEEE 37.2 - 3 Checking orinterlocking relay

This input is used to provide feedback to allow the DSE8700 to givetrue indication of the contactor or circuit breaker switching status. Itshould be connected to the mains load switching device auxiliarycontact.Incorrect application of this signal does not trigger an alarm condition, itis used solely for indication of the breaker status.

Mains Load Inhibit IEEE 37.2 - 3 checking orinterlocking relay

This input is used to prevent the DSE8700 from loading the mainssupply. If the mains supply is already on load activating this input willcause the DSE8700 to unload the mains supply. Removing the inputwill allow the mains to be loaded again.

NOTE: -This input only operates to control the mainsswitching device if the DSE8700 load switching logic is attemptingto load the mains. It will not control the mains switching devicewhen the generator is on load.

Manual Restore contactIEEE 37.2 - 3 checking orinterlocking relay

Used to hold off transfer back to the mains after a mains failure andkeep the generator on load. Transfer back to the mains supply is heldoff in Auto mode while the input is present. Typically, a key switchprovides this input with spring return to closed functionality.
