Generac Power Systems H-100, Техническое руководство

Страница: 4 / 52

INTRODUCTION
The H-100 Control Panel is an electronic control box
that functions as an advanced standby generator
controller. Its technology is based on the flagship PM-
DCP system with all its flexibility included. A familiar
user interface in the form of GenLink®-DCP is used
to program, monitor and change the parameters in
the unit. The interface appears the same as it does
for the PM-DCP.
Specialized programs are built into the H-100 Control
Panel to allow customers to configure spare I/O to
their own needs. For example, built in Integrated
Logic Controller (ILC) logic can eliminate the need
for ancillary external controllers. Everything can be
user customized from measurements to alarms to
the screen displays.
Why do we do this? Having one set of control firm-
ware buys us the economy of scale which can be
passed on to the customer. It also has great technical
advantages. The H-100 Control Panel and all PM-DCP
products are built around a common “core” of firm-
ware. This provides EVERY product with the same
technical tools. For example, both the H-100 Control
Panel and PM-DCP products can call out for assis-
tance via a modem, every product can provide trend-
ing data for its measured parameters, any measured
value can be setup to create alarms or warnings, each
product has a built in ILC, etc. H-100 Control Panel
is very flexible.

PANEL SETUP
CHANGING THE CONTROLLER
CONFIGURATION
The H-100 Control Panel controller is setup in the
factory to match the product it is shipped with and
generally no changes are required. For spares pur-
poses the controller can be re-configured in the field
using the GenLink software tool and a PC.
If you need to change the function of the panel the
best way to get a basic setup for a product is to use
GenLink to download a “product file”. This will setup
all the basic parameters and just leave customization
and calibration to be done. Product files are available
on the web site for downloading cross referenced to
product serial numbers/generic product types. The
manufacturer does not recommend changing the
settings individually for a product as this is labori-
ous and prone to human error. Some of the settings
require detailed knowledge of things like governor
settings which are not easily discernable.
Some configurations are changeable from the H-100
Control Panel touch pad and displays. These configu-
rations will be described later and include:
Setting Display Contrast
Setting System Time and Date
Setting up/Enabling Internal Exercise
Enabling Interface with Generac Commercial
Transfer Switch (HTS)
CUSTOMIZATION
The controller is designed to be very flexible and
allow great levels of customization via the GenLink
tool. Once you have customized your controller, you
should save the settings away to floppy or hard disk
for backup. This can be done during the customiza-
tion process, or at any time subsequent to customiza-
tion by uploading the settings from the controller to
GenLink and then saving them to disk. The digital
outputs can be set to turn on from any one of a list
of functions, or they can be used as part of the built-
in ILC. The digital inputs can be moved, inverted,
renamed, given delay times, made alarms, used
in the ILC, logged/not logged, etc. Refer to the sec-
tion “MEASUREMENT ENGINE” for details. Analog
inputs are dealt with in the same section.
There are some parameters which are specific to the
product, such as an engine controller or transfer
switch. These are all customizable via GenLink. Refer
to the relevant section for details.
