Details
Engine > State > Running
Digital output Continuous Activated if there is running detection for the engine.
Engine > State > Not running
Digital output Continuous Activated if there is no running detection for the engine.
Engine > State > Not ready to start Digital output Continuous
Activated if there is any condition that would block the controller
from starting the engine.
Engine > State > Ready to start
Digital output Continuous
Activated if there are no conditions that would block the
controller from starting the engine.
Engine > State > Starting
Digital output Continuous
Activated while the controller works through the pre-programmed
start sequence.
Engine > State > Cooldown
Digital output Continuous Activated while the controller cooldown timer is running.
8.6.6 Counters
You can view, edit and reset all the counters on the display unit under
Configure > Counters
. The counters include:
•
Start attempts
•
Total running hours and minutes
•
Trip running hours and minutes
•
Generator breaker operations and trips
•
Energy export (active and reactive)
INFO
Running hours trip works like a car trip meter. For example, you can use this counter to track the running hours since the
last maintenance.
Energy counter outputs
For each energy counter, you can configure a digital output to send a pulse every time a certain amount of energy is transferred.
Configure the digital outputs under
Input/output > Digital output > Generator > Energy counters > [Counter pulse]
.
INFO
You must configure the digital output function to see the parameters.
Configure the energy transfer required for a pulse under
Parameters > Generator > Energy counters > [Counter]

Active energy export counter parameters
Parameter
Range
Default Comment
Pulse every 1 kWh to 10 MWh 10 kWh The value when a digital output sends a pulse.
Pulse length 0.1 s to 1 h
1 s
The length of the pulse that is sent. This value should be long enough so the pulse
can be registered by the external counter.

Reactive energy export counter parameters
Parameter
Range
Default
Comment
Pulse every 1 kvarh to 10 Mvarh 10 kvarh The value when a digital output sends a pulse.
Pulse length 0.1 s to 1 h
1 s
The length of the pulse that is sent. This value should be long enough so the pulse
can be registered by the external counter.
