Control u u nit u u pgrade:
The software compatibility is ensured with the old interface boards, meaning it is possible to reprogram, on site, an interface board having
a software index 1.01B with a software having an index 1.04D and 1.05E. However, a display defined for software version 1.2 and higher
is required to use a software version 1.05E.
Software upgrade 1.04D comprises the following:
- Addition of functions and parameters
- Modification of standard value of certain parameters
- Modification of utilization limits of certain parameters
- Supervision and remote management
- Control/command of engines MTU 2000 and 4000
- Control/command compatible with standards NFPA110 and CSA C282
- Control/command compatible with French standards NF S 61-940 and NF E 37-312
- Control/command for Cummins engines type QST30
- Control/command for Nevada engines
- Generating sets with "multi-voltage" option
- Generating sets with "bi-frequency/bi-voltage" option
- Option 5 module (this module is only used with applications on MTU 2000/4000 engines and CUMMINS engines QST30).
The software version 1.06F used with the CB and CB12 I/O cards extends the functionality and working range of the Intellisys. A sum-
mary of the developments and changes incorporated into the new software is shown below. Each development is then described in detail
in the subsequent paragraphs.
Compatibility with earlier I/O cards has been provided, and it is therefore possible to reprogram I/O cards originally using software ver-
sions 1.01B, 1.04D or 1.05E with version 1.06F, without having to remove the card.
Software version 1.06F includes the following features:
- Command and control of the JDEC electronics used with the John Deere 6081HF engines using the optional module 5.
- Command and control of the EDC III electronics used with Volvo D12 engines using the optional module 5.
- Changing the number of working hours for the generator (clear or preset) by entering a single access code.
- Option 4 of module 4, allowing operation at three different voltages (480V, 208V and 240V), may be fine tuned to reflect the customer's
actual usage.
- The "low coolant level" LED of the optional module 6 comes on when either the 'low coolant level' or 'air cooling inadequate ' inputs are
enabled (only for NFPA110 applications).
- For gas-powered generators, the "low gas pressure" fault condition now has a five-second fixed timer. This timer prevents the engine
being switched off by sudden load changes. In practice, the gas pressure has a tendency to drop when the load increases sharply, before
returning to its normal value.
Supervision a a nd r r emote m m anagement:
Supervision and remote management is possible using the "wintelys" software on a PC com-
puter under a Windows 95, 98; NT or 2000 environment.
A complete document describing the supervision and remote management features can be
obtained from the "products and development" department.
Supervision and remote management are operational on software version 1.01B with a few
restrictions as concerns the various data acquisition and display features. In this respect, with
software version 1.01B, it will not be possible to:
- Control the generator set from a remote location
- Display the status of the alarm and fault LEDs on the front panel of the display or retro-
information concerning the position of the Normal/Backup switch.
In addition, with software version 1.01B, the Intellisys is automatically reset when the gene-
rating set is configured from a remote location.
For optimum use of the supervision/remote management function, we recommend that you
use software version 1.04D or later.
Module 5 5 :
Supervision
Module 5 is simply module OPT345 configured as module 5.
This module is programmed specifically for the applications with engines using an integra-
ted control electronics (MTU and Cummins engines).
The selection parameter for this module already exists in software version 1.01B.
However, a line has been added in the INPUTS and OUTPUTS screens to display the logical
state of the inputs and outputs of the module according to its programming.
