Introduction
This document is designed to familiarize a user with the MGC1000 and how to navigate the interface and
modify the settings when setting up and operating the controller. The Quick Set Up guide assists with
establishing the different functions in the MGC1000. Before attempting to set up the controller, be sure
to read and understand this manual in its entirety.
Murphy PowerCore MGC1000 Panel
The Murphy PowerCore MGC1000 Panel is a dedicated Generator controller for both 120 and 480 VAC
single or 3 phase.
The MGC1000 is flexible in many aspects, with the ability to:
•
use in most applications where auto start is required or desired;
•
use the same controller on electronically governed J1939 and mechanical engines;
•
use the same controller on 12VDC or 24VDC systems;
•
assign multiple levels of passcode protection to the menu;
•
use as auto start or manual start controller;
•
change the input sensor type for analog inputs;
•
use analog inputs as digital ground inputs;
•
assign functions and actions to digital inputs;
•
use digital inputs as battery positive or ground inputs;
•
be mounted in all-weather environments.
Engine Application States and Delays
The Controller follows a standard operating sequence. This operating sequence is a set of machine states
that happen in a fixed order. Machine states can be set to zero if not needed or adjusted to fit the application.
The following states will be executed during the auto sequence, provided that the corresponding timer has
not been set to 00:00:00 or the controller has not been placed in a manual mode of operation:
•
Stabilize:
This is a timed state to allow the controller to enable the ECU or any senders
without warnings or errors. This timer can be disabled if set up for mechanical engine use.
•
Stopped:
This is a timed state where the engine is ready to be started manually or
automatically.
•
Standby:
This is a timed state that will shut off the LCD backlight, heater and CAN
transceiver to conserve power while the unit waits for a key press or an automatic start
condition.
•
Wait To Start:
when an engine is not ready to start and sends a message across the
J1939 communications stating it is not ready to start.
•
Auto Start Delay:
(
available in Auto Mode only)
The auto start condition is ignored and
must remain active throughout this delay or the delay is reset to zero.
•
Prestart Delay 1:
After a start condition has been accepted by the controller, this delay
begins timing, and the prestart output turns on. When this delay expires, the output is
turned off, and the start sequence continues.
•
Check Safe To Start:
This is a non-timed state that will check to ensure the engine can
start safely.
•
ECU Stabilize Timer:
This delay begins timing when the controller is powered up, in
Spindown or when the Standby delays have expired. During this delay, the ECU-enabled
output is turned on. The ECU output turns off when the Standby, ETS or Spindown delays
begin timing.
