Mains

 

 

configured  text  for  the  analogue  input  and  relative  measure.  If  more  than  9  measures  are 
associated to one of these pages, the controller shows them all, rotating them on the display every 
two seconds. 

By keeping the 

Esc/SHIFT

button pressed, the rotation on current view can be stopped.  

The  page 

E.14  (SERVICE)

  displays  the  counters  related  to  the  Genset  maintenance.  The  page  is 

hidden, if no time limits are set for maintenance operations. 

The pages 

E.15-16-17-18 (EXHAUST GAS TREAT.)

 display the icons and the measurement related to 

the engine emission system, acquired from the engine’s ECU. These icons and measurements 
are compliant with TIER 4 / STAGE 5 standard. 

The pages 

E.19-20-21-22-23-24 

are defined by the configuration files of the ECU of the engines. Using 

these files, it is possible to create custom pages showing the information got from the ECU that 
are not J1939 standard (specific for that ECU). 

 

In this mode are shown the measures and the statuses which are connected and transit on the CAN-
BUS PMCBus, which connects SICES devices among them. All pages of this mode are displayed only 
if the CAN-BUS PMCBus is enabled. 

The page 

B.01 (DEVICES ON PMCB) 

displays, for diagnostic purposes, the mains controllers (MC100) 

and tie breaker controllers (BTB100) connected to the PMCBus. 

The pages 

B.02, B.03, B.04 (GENSETS) 

display the information related to the 

PMC-Bus

 mains (PMC-

Bus address, active and reactive power and status) up to 8 gensets. 

The status is displayed in red if the genset is not available for the operation in automatic. Inside a 
page, each controller shows the generator data, managed by itself, in reverse. 

Page 

B.05 (TOTALS ON PMCB)

 displays the totals calculated on all genset control boards connected 

to PMCBus. The total rated power of the gensets (MDPt, kW), the total active power (kW), the total 
reactive power (kvar), the total active energy (kWh) and the total reactive energy (kvarh). 

The pages 

B.06 (LOAD FUNCTION)

 display the information related to the load function. This includes 

the number of network devices, the operating mode of the load function, the identifier of the pilot 
generator and the list of priorities. It is possible to manually select  

The pages 

B.07 (LOAD FUNCTION)

 display the information related to the load function. 

 

The power supplied by the gensets (percentage compared to the maximum that the gensets 
currently supplying can afford). 

 

The  threshold  (%)  over  which  a  new  genset  must  start  (or  you  need  to  pass  to  the 
combination of higher gensets compared to the rated power level). 

 

The power supplied by the gensets (percentage compared to the maximum) calculated in 
the hypothesis that the less priority genset is stopped (or that you select a combination of 
gensets which is lower for rated power). 

 

The  threshold  (%)  to  be  compared  with  the  calculated  power  at  the  previous  point,  under 
which the less priority genset must be stopped (or you need to pass to the combination of 
lower gensets compared to the rated power level). 

If, in addition to the normal “load management” also the management of the load reserve is enabled, 
this page alternates the above written values every two seconds with: 

 

The current load reserve (the difference between rated power of the gensets and the supplied 
power). 

 

The minimum load reserve to activate a new genset.
