2User manual GC600-GC600Mains

The purpose of this manual is to describe boards GC600, GC600Mains.

LOCKOUT - is used to indicate a fault that prevents the generator from operating and causes automatic

and immediate emergency engine shut-down.

POWER-OFF - is used to indicate a fault that prevents the generator from operating and causes the

standard automatic engine shutoff (including a cooling phase).

WARNING - is used to indicate a fault that requires the intervention of the operator without engine

shutoff.

MAINS –Public power supply line.

LOAD/BUS –Electrical power supply line of the loads. It can be connected to more gensets

GENERATOR –Electricity line that is connected to the alternator of the Generator set

LOAD –Electrical power supply line of the loads. This can be connected to the Mains or to the

Generator

MCB - Switch or component to manage the switching between the Mains line and the Load line.

GCB –Switch or component to manage the switching between the Generator line and the Load line.

CANBUS - Interface for the control and diagnostics of engines equipped with SAE J1939 or Can Bus

MTU interface.

ISLAND - Type of plant where one or more gensets supply the Load without being in parallel with the

Mains.

MPM –Type of plant working in Island mode and gensets working in parallel among them.

SSB + SSTP (Single Stand By + Single Short Time Parallel) - Type of plant where the genset starts and

supplies the Load in case of Mains failure; once back to normal conditions, it carries out a short time

parallel with the Mains, it disconnects from the Mains and from Load and it stops in stand-by. Depending

on the configuration of the plant, it is also possible to synchronize the Genset with the Mains before

disconnecting it in order not to leave the Load without supply.
