HMG-PCI magnet generators

GENERAL NOTES
DYNASET hydraulic magnet generator of HMG-range, designed for an installation to material handling machines
(hydraulic excavators, heavy trucks with hydraulic cranes), is compact and complete power source for ferrous
metal handling magnet. The only power source is a hydraulic system to provide generator with required
hydraulic fluid flow at demanded pressure.
DYNASET hydraulic magnet generator transforms hydraulic power into a high quality electricity, which is used
for energising metal handling magnet. HMG-PCI units are provided with an external electric control.
An automatic demagnetisation ensures fast disengagement of a picked and moved metal off from a magnet.
DYNASET HMG-generators operates with all 220 VDC metal handling magnets upon condition that magnet’s
coil inductance is 0 ... 20 H.

CONSTRUCTION
DYNASET hydraulic magnet generator is comprised of hydraulic synchronous generator and electric control
unit which includes a rectifier block and operation control automatics. The power-to-weight ratio of DYNASET
hydraulic magnet generator is excellent due to modern mono-bearing construction when the other end of
rotor’s shaft is supported by hydraulic motor. (Generators over 15 kVA are bi-bearing units).

The unit has an automatic rotation speed control valve with ports for pressure and return lines.

Unit’s rotor, connected to the hydraulic motor’s shaft, is provided with an excitation windings.
Electric power is taken from stator windings. Auxiliary winding of voltage control system is located in generator‘s
stator as well. Windings are isolated from unit’s body and their insulation class is H.

Protection class of DYNASET hydraulic magnet generator in standard execution complies with specifications
IP23, electric control unit meets requirements of IP44. Units with (higher ?)protection class IP 54 are available
by request.
AC-auxiliary electricity is optional (standard in HMG 3,0 kW).
Automatic circuit breakers protect unit from overload.

DYNASET hydraulic generators are self-excited.

DYNASET hydraulic generator is assembled in lightweight aluminium alloy molded case with footing for fixing.

AUTOMATIC VOLTAGE CONTROL

Automatic voltage regulator adjusts rotor’s excitation power, maintaining constant output voltage at discontinuous
electric load.
Voltage control function depends on the rotor’s rotation speed, so that the nominal voltage value is being
set at the nominal frequency.
Subject to unit size, three types of voltage regulator are applied.

Voltage control of HMG 3 kW is effected with a capacitor circuit, connected to an auxiliary winding.
Voltage control keeps the voltage constant through the whole load range with accuracy of ± 6%.
Performance speed of voltage control is less than 0,1 sec.

All other HMG-units are equipped either with a compound or electronic voltage regulator.
Compound regulator is connected to the auxiliary winding and maintains the output voltage constant
through the entire load range with accuracy of ± 5%. Compound regulator sets the excitation current
according to electric load of each phase with its separate current windings individually. Each phase can
be loaded up to maximum current deliberately.
Performance speed of a compound voltage controls is less than 0,1 sec.
Electronic voltage regulator is connected to the stator’s and separate excitation generator’s windings
and achieves an accuracy of ± 3%.
Electronic voltage regulator constantly compares output voltage to the pre-adjusted reference value
and sets the excitation current according the load.
Performance speed of an electronic voltage controls is less than 0,1 sec.

CLASSIFICATION
DYNASET hydraulic generators are manufactured in conformity with the 98/37, 73/23, 89/336 CEE directives
and their amendments. They are also manufactured in compliance with the following regulations: CEI 2-3,
EN 60034-1, IEC 34-1, VDE 0530, BS4999-5000, CAN/CSA-C22.2, NF 51.100 and N°14-95 - N°100-95.
By request DYNASET hydraulic generators can be equipped with a radio interference protection to meet
requirements of specifications MIL STD 461 A/B and VDE 0875 class N.

INSTALLATION
DYNASET hydraulic magnet generator works being integrated into an original hydraulic
P system of a material handling machine.
T Unit can be placed deliberately ensuring an easy access to the unit. Generator should
be positioned horisontally. Additionally, return line must be connected to a hydraulic oil
tank in the shortest possible way in order to keep return oil pressure under 5 bar.
Cooling capacity of hydraulic system, designed for continuous operation (an excavator),
is generally sufficient under proper installation of HMG-generator. An additional oil cooler
is required when HMG-unit is installed to a truck with and hydraulic hoist.
Ensure that the filtration capacity of a hydraulic system is sufficient.

To enable putting DYNASET generator into operation only pressure- (P) and return (T) lines are to be connected
to the hydraulic system.
Ensure that the hydraulic fluid flow is sufficient to run the unit, i.e. at least the minimal flow must be available.
At the hydraulic flow less that demanded nominal rate the generator will not work properly at all. If the
hydraulic flow is so excessive, that the automatic speed control valve is unable to handle it, the unit begins
to hunt. In the latter case the hydraulic flow is to be reduced either by replacing an existing hydraulic pump
with a suitable one or using flow limiter. DYNASET PRIORITY VALVE is recommended.
After having been connected to the hydraulic system, DYNASET hydraulic magnet generator is to be started
by directing the hydraulic flow to the unit’s pressure port by means of control valve - manual or solenoid. Even
simple ball valve or three-way valve can be used.
To ensure DYNASET’s proper operation, the hydraulic pressure must be set at least to the level, at which the
nominal power output is achieved (ref. to PARAMETERS). Lower pressure reduces output power. Maximum
hydraulic pressure is 250 bar (ref. to PARAMETERS). If the hydraulic system main pressure is higher, service
pressure relief valve must be used.
Ensure also that your machine’s hydraulic fluid cooling is working properly when DYNASET magnet generator
is in operation.
DYNASET HYDRAULIC GENERATORS ARE DESIGNED FOR EASY INTEGRATION INTO HYDRAULIC SYSTEM OF ANY TYPE:

HMG-PCI magnet generators

OPERATION
After ensuring the proper operation of the generator, plug magnet’s cable to generator’s socket.
Start machine’s engine.
Direct the hydraulic flow to a generator by opening a solenoid valve, when the control voltage 12/24V,
brought to the control unit, activates (ref. HMG CONTROL WIRING KIT on a previous page). Magnet is
ready for use when hydraulic flow achieves a minimal demanded level.
Generator rotates constantly the pressure line being open.

Magnet’s current is switched on by pressing magnet’s control push-button once for app. 1 sec, when
material is to be picked and moved. Magnetisation indicator light is ON.

Press the push-button sequently to cut-off magnet’s current (magnetisation indicator light is OFF) and
to turn on the reverse current, when a residual field discharges due to demagnetisation and all material
being kept by a magnet drops down. During a demagnetisation an indication light flashes once. Duration
of the second pressing affects the demagnetisation power. Keeping the push-button pressed down
magnet’s demagnetisation is being forced to ensure complete release of a material. Generally discharge
time is 2 - 3 sec subject to magnet.

After release of a material, magnet is returned to an iron picking point and the job continues in above
sequence.

Magnetisation and demagnetisation of a magnet is controlled by PCI-card, located in HMG’s control unit.
Control is effected according to push-button’s impulses by means of contactors K1, K2 and K3, also
located in control unit’s enclosure. Contactor status is indicated with LEDs found on a PCI-card.

HMG generator is equipped with an overload circuit breaker as well as with a temperature switch. At overload
the circuit breaker switches off magnet’s current without demagnetisation. However, the iron comes off for
a long while causing dangerous situation. NEVER STEP TO THE AREA UNDER LOADED MAGNET ! Having rectified
a problem, reset the circuit breaker with its pushbutton or switch.
Temperature switch cuts off magnet’s current without demagnetisation when control unit’s temperature
exceeds maximum allowed value. Generator can be left running in order to cool it as fast as possible. The
unit being cooled enough, temperature switch turns on the magnet’s current automatically, when an operator
can proceed with his job.
ATTN !
Magnet’s load duty is 60%. Exceeding of ED-value causes magnet’s overheating !
MAINTENANCE
DYNASET hydraulic generators are low-maintenance units. Only normally wearing parts such as sealings in
hydraulics, brush collector and bearings should be replaced when necessary.
Refer also to the TROUBLESHOOTING section.
ATTN. !
Capacitors in control unit keep the charge for a long time after stopping a generator.
Prior to commence any service:
* stop both magnet generator and the carrier
* wait at least 10 minutes
* ensure with a gauge that capacitors have no charge.

... TROUBLESHOOTING

PCI - CONTROL CARD

3.

MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LED Colour RED

The concerned LED indicates control voltage failure and malfunction of magnet current metering
circuit.
If LED is continuously ON when working:
3.1 Magnet cable is disconnected or damaged.
3.2 Current metering circuit of PCI-card damaged or the PCI-card is not adjusted
properly (check the set value of potentiometers VIRTA1 and VIRTA2).
3.3 If led keeps flashing after working cycle, the wire of 24V has poor contact.

The LED starts flashing when 24V voltage cuts off for longer time than 0,2 s.

SAFE MODE

PCI CONTROL CARD runs in safe mode when a failure occurs. MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LED
is ON continuously, but the job can be continued without immediate tracing and rectifying the failure.
In SAFE MODE fixed demagnesation time is 6 sec, however magnet’s considerable inductance may
extend the above time with 1 - 3 seconds.

The PCI card runs in SAFE MODE when the HMG-generator is ON, but the magnet cable is disconnected.

ADJUSTING THE INDUCTION CURRENT ON MAGNET TO DISENGAGE CONTACTOR K2

POTENTIOMETER VIRTA1

PCI-card measures automatically the inductive current and disengages the contactor
K2 at the right time without arcing, regardless of magnet inductance (0 - 20 H) and
power.

Adjusted induction current value can gauged with mV-meter (1 mV = 0,001 V)

between measure points V1- and GND of the card, when the control voltage 24V
is ON.
On condition that 1 A = 40 mV and factory default of 300 mV, current value
makes 7,5 A.

To speed up the opening time of contactor K2, V1-value can be increased to 330 mV
( = 8,3A) by setting the potentiometer VIRTA1 counter-clockwise (max. 1 rev. = 30 mV.
DO NOT increase too much because that reduces the service life of contactor K2.

ADJUSTING THE DEMAGNESATION CURRENT

POTENTIOMETER VIRTA2

Adjusted demagnetising current value can be gauged with mV-meter between measure
points V2- and GND of the card, when the control voltage 24V is ON.

Factory default is -100 mV (= 2,5 A). Demagnetising can be increased upto -130 mV (=3,25 A)
by setting the potentiometer VIRTA2 clockwise (1 round = 30 mA).

GAUGING THE MAGNET’S CURRENT

When the magnet is connected and energised, the current can be gauged between measure
points VM- and GND of the card.
Factory default scale is 1A = 40 mV (i.e. magnet current of 10A is gauged as 400 mV).
