1.5.2 Voltage measuring inputs
NOTE
The ASG 410+ can operate (monitor) only one synchronization position (one power circuit breaker),
because it is a 1-power-circuit-breaker configuration. The voltage at terminals 23/24 is the voltage
to which the assessment of the synchronization at terminals 20/21 refers. The synchronization
voltage can be, e. g., the mains or busbar voltage.
NOTE
There are generally three different variants for connection of the measuring circuit voltage:
• Direct connection to the low voltage system,
‚ Connection to medium voltage via two-pole isolated transformer (e. g. in the case of a
V-connection) and
ƒ Connection to medium voltage via single-pole isolated transformer (e. g. Y-connection).

Conditions The function of the device is also dependent, apart from the discrete input signals, on
the state of the available measured voltages. The particular function must also be ac-
tivated in configuration mode:
Condition
A Synchronization GCB Generator and synchronization voltage must apply to the
following conditions:
- 50% < U < 125% of the rated voltage UN
- 80% < f < 110% of the rated frequency fN
(after time monitoring trips, the synchronization will be aborted)
B Black start GCB - Parameter “Black start gen. switch ON”
- Synchronization voltage must be less then 5% of the rated
voltage
- Generator voltage and frequency must be within the config-
ured limits of the black start
C No-load operation - Parameter “Automatic no-load controlling ON"
- for f control:
Generator voltage > 50 % of rated voltage UN
- for U control:
Generator frequency > 90 % of rated frequency UN
- (Generator power circuit breaker open)
D Isolated operation - Generator voltage > 50 % of rated voltage VN
- For voltage controller: Parameter “Voltage controller in no-
load operation ON”
- (Generator power circuit breaker closed)
2.2 LED “gen c.b. ON” flashes
LED "gen c.b. ON" flashes Incorrect signal state of the "Reply: GCB is open" on terminal 4.
Possible faults:
- Reply present on (= 0 V)
generator and busbar voltage not synchronous
- Reply missing (= 24 V)
generator and main voltage synchronous
If the LED flashes, one must check to see whether the input on terminal 4 is correctly
wired. For the wiring to be correct, there must be 0 V applied to the input when the
power circuit breaker is closed.
37130A Page 11/46
2.3 Control inputs
Release GCB Release for operation of the power circuit breaker

Terminal 3 In order to enable a synchronization or a black start, this input must be set.
Reply: GCB is open The status of the power circuit breaker has to be signaled to the unit via this input.
Terminal 4 The input must be set if the power circuit breaker is open. (The status of this input is
checked for its plausibility and is signaled with the LED "Gen CB ON".)
Release isolated operation Set ................ • Release voltage/frequency control in the case of missing "Reply:
Terminal 5 GCB is open" (the LED "Gen CB ON" on the pressure-sensitive
front membrane lights up).
• Release black start for present "Reply: GCB is open" (the LED
"Gen CB ON" on the pressure-sensitive front membrane does not
light up).
Reset ............ • Shut down voltage/frequency controller in the event of a missing
"Reply: GCB is open" (the LED "Gen CB ON" on the pressure-
sensitive front membrane lights up).
Input blocked By setting this input, a switch into configuration mode from pressing "Digit↑" and
Terminal 6 "Cursor→" can be prevented. E.g. setting can be carried out using a keylock switch.
Parameter set pre-selection The unit in the configuration with Option G offers the possibility of operating up to
Terminals 60-65 6 Synchronization positions with different parameter sets. For each synchronization
position the following can be set separately:
- inherent delay,
- settings for the frequency controller and
- settings for the voltage controller.
2.4 Control outputs

Synchronization pulse: By setting this relay the generator power circuit breaker (GCB) will be closed. The
Close GCB relay drops out after the pulse is output.
Terminals 14/15
Operational readiness The contact assembly is closed when the unit is ready for operation. The relay will
Terminals 18/19 drop out if the following occurs:
a) The internal self-monitoring system stated an alarm. In this case a trouble-free
function of the unit cannot be guaranteed and other appropriate measures have
to be taken into account, if necessary.
b) The synchronization time monitoring system is activated and has responded.
Page 12/46 37130A
NOTE
The following messages must be evaluated externally (e. g. by looping in the corresponding relay in
the self-holding chain of the power circuit breaker).
The output of the following messages is always carried out and is independent of the power circuit
breaker state. The blocking of the corresponding message (e. g. when the machine is stopped)
must be carried out externally.

opened.
Alarm output Generator overfrequency, Generator underfrequency

Terminals 43/44 If the fault "Generator overfrequency" or "Generator underfrequency" occurs, this
only with Option F
relay is opened.
2.5 Potential separation between the power supply and the discrete inputs
By means of an appropriate external wiring, the common reference point of the dis-
crete inputs (terminal 7) can be electrically isolated from the supply voltage (0 V,
terminal 2). This is necessary, for example, if the discrete inputs are not to be driven
with +24 V DC and an electrical isolation of the control voltage (e. g. 220 V DC,
220 V AC) must be guarantee for the power supply.
Wiring should be made as follows:
• Reference points connected with 0 V:

Bridge between terminal 7 and terminal 2 (0 V)
• Reference point of the discrete inputs potential-free:
Terminal 2: 0 V (Power supply)
Terminal 7: 0 V or N (control voltage)
37130A Page 13/46
2.6 Operating states
2.6.1 No load operation
The generator voltage and frequency will be adjusted to the configurable setpoint
values when the relays of the three-position controllers for voltage and speed are
switching accordingly (see also chapter 2.1 “Function table” on page 11). The gen-
erator switch is open.
2.6.2 GCB synchronization
The generator voltage will be corrected to the amplitude and frequency of the syn-
chronization voltage when the relays of the three-position controllers for voltage and
speed are switching accordingly. In consideration of the inherent delay the connect
command for the power circuit breaker will be output The synchronization is done
under the following conditions (see also chapter 2.1 “Function table” on page 11):
• The unit is in the automatic mode (LED “Automatic” lights up),

• The synchronization function is turned on by configuration,
• the voltages and frequencies are within a certain range (see also chapter 2.1
“Function table” on page 11,
• the input "Enable GCB" is set,
• the input "Reply: GCB is open" is set and
• the synchronization time monitoring is not switched on or has not tripped.
2.6.3 Closing the GCB without synchronization (GCB black start)
Output of a connect command for the power circuit breaker without synchronization if
the following conditions are met:
• The unit is in the automatic mode (LED “Automatic” lights up),
• the parameter "Gen. switch black start" has been set to "ON",
• the bus bar is not energized (VSS < 5 % VN),
• the generator voltage and frequency are within the configured limits,
• the input "Isolated operation" is set,
• the input "Release GCB" is set and
• the input "Reply: GCB is open" is set.
2.6.4 Isolated operation
The generator voltage and frequency will be adjusted to the configurable setpoint
values when the relays of the three-position controllers for voltage and speed are
switching accordingly (see also chapter 2.1 “Function table” on page 11). The gen-
erator switch is closed. To activate the voltage controller, the parameter “voltage con-
troller in isolated operation” must be set to “ON”.
Page 14/46 37130A
2.7 Analog controller outputs (Option Qu/Qf)
As an alternative to a three-position controller output, the unit may also be equipped

with an analog controller output. The associated configuration masks then appear in
configuration mode. The analog PID controller forms a closed-loop control loop to-
gether with the controlled system (usually a first-order lag element). The parameters
of the PID controller (proportional-action coefficient KPR, derivative-action time TV and
reset time Tn) can be modified individually.

Tt Kp T1
PID controller Lag element (Tt) Controlled system (PT1)
If an abrupt disturbance variable is applied to the control loop, the reaction of the
controlled system can be recorded at the output as a function of time (step re-
sponse).

Various values can be obtained from the step response; these are required for ad-
justing the controller to its optimum setting:
Rise time Trise Period starting when the value of the control variable leaves a predefined tolerance
range for the control variable following a jump in the disturbance variable or reference
input variable and ending the first time the value re-enters this range.
Setting time Toff Period starting when the value of the control variable leaves a predefined tolerance
range for the control variable following a step in the disturbance variable or reference
input variable and ending when the value re-enters this range permanently.
Overshoot xm Highest transient setpoint value deviation during the transition from one steady-state
condition to a new steady-state condition following modification of the disturbance
variable or reference input variable (xm Optimal ≤ 10 %).
Permanent System deviation xd The present deviation between setpoint value and control variable in the steady-state
condition (PID controller: xd = 0).
From these values, the values KPR, Tn and TV can be determined by various calcula-
tions. Moreover, it is possible, by performing various calculations, to determine the
optimal controller settings, e. g. by calculating compensation or adjustment of the
time constants, T-sum rule, symmetric optimum. Other setting procedures and infor-
mation may be obtained from current literature.

2.7.1 Controller settings
CAUTION !
The following must be observed regarding the controller setting:

• Ensure that the emergency shutdown system is ready for use.
• While determining the critical frequency, pay attention to the amplitude and frequency.
• If the two values change uncontrollably:
à EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN
a.) Initial state
Initial state The start position of the controller is determined using the initial state of the control-
ler. If the controller is switched off, the initial state can be used to output a fixed con-
troller position. Even when the analog controller is switched off, the initial state can
be freely adjusted (e.g. the speed controller can be controlled in a statically manner).
Ctrl sig. Initial state 0..100 %

Initial state 000% Analog controller output setting with controller switched off.
b.) General settings
The setting rule described below only serves as an example. Whether this method is
suitable for setting your particular controlled system has not been and cannot be
taken into account as each controlled system behaves uniquely.
There are various methods of setting a controller. The setting rules of Ziegler and
Nichols are explained below (determination for abrupt disturbances on the system in-
put); this setting method assumes a pure lag element connected in series with a first-
order lag system.
1. Controller operated as a P-only controller

(where Tn = ∞ [screen setting: Tn =0], TV = 0).
2. Increase gain KPR (P gain) until the control loop oscillates continuously at
KP = KPcrit.
Attention If the unit starts to oscillate uncontrollably, carry out an emer-

gency shutdown and alter the screen setting accordingly.
3. Measuring of the cycle duration Tcrit

4. Set the parameters:
PID controller PI controller

KPR = 0.6 × KPcrit KPR = 0.45 × KPcrit
Tn = 0.5 × Tcrit Tn = 0.83 × Tcrit
TV = 0.125 × Tcrit

The variable to be controlled is achieved more rapidly by increasing the P-gain.
Reset time Reset time (Tn) 0.2..60.0 s

Tn=00.0s The reset time Tn belongs to the I-part of the PID controller. The I-component results
in permanent control deviation being eliminated in the controlled state.

in the phase reserve (stability) and the attenuation results from increasing this pa-
rameter.

4.1 Configure password protection
The unit is equipped with a three-level code and configuration hierarchy, which en-
ables it to visualize various configuration screens for different users. A distinction is
made between:
Code level 0 User: Third party

(CL0) This code level enables no access whatsoever to the parameters.
Code level 1 User: Plant operator

(CL1) This code level entitles the user to change a few selected parameters. Changing a
code number is not possible in this case.
Code level 2 User: Commissioner

(CL2) With code level 2 the user has direct access to all parameters (displaying and chang-
ing). In addition, in this level the user may also set the code number for levels 1 and
2 or switch off the password protection.
Enter code Enter code number 0..9999

XXXX On accessing the configuration mode, a code number, which identifies the various
users, is requested. The displayed number XXXX is a random number (RN). If the
random number has been confirmed with "Select" without being changed, the unit's
code level remains. On entering the code number for level 1 respectively level 2, the
unit switches into code level CL1 respectively CL2 and the parameters can be
changed accordingly. On entering a wrong code number, the unit switches into code
level 0.
NOTE
Two hours after entering the code number the code level automatically drops back to CL0!
The default code number for code level 1 (CL1) is “0001”!
The default code number for code level 2 (CL2) is “0002”!
Only in code level 2 the password protection can be switched off!
Password prot. Password protection ON/OFF

..............ON ON ........... Access to configuration is done by entering the relevant code number
(code level 1/2). If a wrong code number was entered, the configuration
will be blocked.
OFF ......... The user has direct access to all parameters, the code number is not re-
quested.
37130A Page 23/46
4.2 Configuration via the lateral plug (direct configuration)
NOTE
To carry out configuration via lateral plug (direct configuration you require a direct configuration
cable (order code "DPC"), the LeoPC 1 program (supplied with the cable) and the corresponding
configuration files. Please consult the online help installed when the program is installed for a
description of the LeoPC 1 PC program and its setup.
The parameters of the unit can be read via lateral plug at any time. With the pass-
word protection switched off or if the unit is in code level 2, writing of parameters via
direct configuration is also possible. If the password protection is switched on and the
unit is in code level 0 or 1, the password (code number) of code level 2 must be en-
tered via direct configuration, to modify the parameters. The possibility, to modify pa-
rameters via display, is not affected thereby.
NOTE
Two hours after entering the code number via direct configuration, the enabling for the writing of
parameters will be automatically released.
Direct config. Configuration via the lateral plug YES/NO

YES YES ......... Configuration via lateral plug is possible. The following further conditions
for configuration via lateral plug must be met:
- A connection between the unit and the PC via the direct configuration
cable must be available,
- the baud rate of the LeoPC program must be 9.600 Baud and
- one must use the corresponding configuration file (filename: "*.asm",
called by *.cfg).
NO ........... Configuration via lateral plug cannot be carried out.

4.5.3 Overfrequency monitoring (Option J)
Function Monitoring the mains frequency is absolutely vital if a generator is operated within a
public network. In the event of mains failure the generator which is operating in paral-
lel with the mains must be automatically disconnected from the mains. The message
can be processed in various manners. If isolated operation is required, in the event of
a mains failure, the mains power circuit breaker should be opened. However, if the
generator cannot cover the power supply of the isolated system in the event of a
mains failure, the generator power circuit breaker should be opened.
NOTE
Mains voltage is applied separate from synchronization voltage at terminals 50, 51 and 52. Mains
monitoring is working independent of the state of the generator power circuit breaker. It is
reasonable to depend a shutoff on whether the generator is connected parallel to the mains by
external locking.
"Mains frequency within the permissible range"

The mains frequency is within the set limit values for over- and underfrequency. The
"Mains overfrequency/mains underfrequency" relay is picked up, i. e., the contact is
closed.
"Mains frequency within the permissible range"

The mains frequency is outside of the set frequency for over and underfrequency.

4.5.4 Mains voltage monitoring (Option V)
Function A three-phase monitoring is carried out in which the phase-to-phase voltages are
monitored.
Monitoring the mains voltage is absolutely vital if a generator is operated within a

public network. In the event of mains failure the generator which is operating in paral-
lel with the mains must be automatically disconnected from the mains. The message
can be processed in various manners. If isolated operation is required, the mains
power circuit breaker should be opened in the event of mains failure. However, if the
generator cannot cover the power supply of the isolated system in the event of a
mains failure, the generator power circuit breaker should be opened.
NOTE

Page 36/46 37130A
4.5.5 Phase shift monitoring (Option H)
Function A phase shift is a sudden change in the voltage curve, and may be caused by a ma-
jor generator load change. In this case, the measuring circuit detects a change in the
cycle duration once. This change in the cycle duration is compared with a calculated
mean value from previous measurements. Monitoring encompasses all three phases
and optional also one phase. The phase shift watchdog is active only if all line-to line
mains voltages are greater then 50 % of the rated transformer voltage. The phase
shift watchdog may be used as an additional facility for decoupling from the mains.
"Mains voltage cycle duration not within the permissible range"

The mains voltage cycle duration exceeds the set limit values for the phase shift. The
relay "phase shift" is picked up, i. e., the contact is closed.
"Mains voltage cycle duration not within the permissible range"

The mains voltage cycle duration exceeds the set limit values for the phase shift. The
"Phase shift" relay has dropped out, i. e., the contact is open.

4.6 Parameter set pre-selection (Option G)
The unit in the version with Option G offers the possibility of operating up to
6 synchronization positions with various parameter sets. Synchronization positions
can be set for each:
- Inherent delay
- Settings for the frequency controller
- Settings for the voltage controller
Different synch. Number of parameter sets used 1..6

parameters 0 All unused parameter sets can be locked using this input. The setting of the control-
ler is carried out as described in the "Frequency/voltage controller as a three-point
controller". Each setting value can be varied for each synchronization position.
4.6.1 Logical functions (Option G)
Synchronization GCB By applying a release signal "Parameter set", the LED "Gen CB REL" lights up on the
pressure-sensitive front membrane. The display switches to the pre-specified syn-
chronization position. First, the function of the external pre-selection can be reviewed
so that one compares the display to the pre-specified signal (Example: With the re-
lease "Parameter set 3" the indication "G3" must appear in the LC display). Only
1 parameter set may be pre-selected at a time. If several discrete inputs "parameter
set ... [1..6]" set, the unit does not detect a defined state and blocks the synchroniza-
tion process. The parameter set 1 is released via terminal 3 released (Release
GCB 1).
Input Function Condition

1 0 0 0 0 0 Synchronization of the generator power circuit breaker 1 A
1 1 0 0 0 0 No function
0 0 1 0 0 0 Synchronization of the generator power circuit breaker 3 A
Conditions The function of the device is also dependent, apart from the discrete input signals, on
the state of the available measured voltage. The particular function must also be ac-
tivated in configuration mode.

5 Commissioning
DANGER !!!
When commissioning the unit, please observe the five safety rules that apply to the handling of live
equipment. Make sure that you know how to provide first aid in current-related accidents and that
you know where the first-aid kit and the nearest telephone are. Never touch any live components of
the system or on the back of the system:
LIFE THREATENING
WARNING !
The unit may only be commissioned by a qualified technician. The "EMERGENCY-SHUTOFF"

function must function safely before the commissioning and must not depend on the particular
machine.
CAUTION !
1. Prior to commissioning, check that all measuring voltages are correctly connected with regard to
phases. The rotating field must be measured. Any lack or incorrect connection of measuring
voltages or other signals may lead to incorrect functions and damage the unit as well as engines
and components connected to the unit.
Procedure 2. Disconnection of the connection commands directly on the power circuit breakers.
3. The supply voltage (24 VDC) must be applied following a check to ensure that all measur-
ing voltages have been connected in the correct phase relation.
4. By simultaneously pressing the two buttons "Digit↑" and "Cursor→" you arrive in input and
test mode. The discrete input "Configuration blocked" must be applied in this case to nega-
tive potential (= 0 V). The LED "Automatic" will be extinguished.
5. Input of the operating data in the sequence of the different screens. The setting limits can
derived from both the screen description (to the right next to the screens) and the parame-
ter list at the end of the manual.
6. If all releases are lacking, one must check whether the voltage present corresponds to the
value displayed. The absence of a measuring voltage can lead to an asynchronous
switching command when the black start is active.
7. Checking the signal "CB release": After applying the "Release Generator CB" the LED
"Gen. CB RELEASE" on the pressure-sensitive front membrane lights up.
Page 40/46 37130A
8. Synchronization of the power circuit breaker:
a) Separation of the connection to the power circuit breaker;
b) The voltage at which synchronization is to occur must be within the permissible
range;
c) The signal "Release generator CB" is applied;
d) If the generator voltage is 50 % more than the set rated value, the frequency control-
ler begins to control. The control parameter should be set so that the set value is op-
timally adjusted (Display: NT [mains] and GN [generator]).
e) Prior to the automatic closing of the power circuit breaker, one categorical has to
check, whether the measuring voltages are connected correctly. It has to be
checked, whether the synchronization conditions are met at the moment, the ASG4
outputs the connection command. This check is done at best by a measurement of
the differential voltage at the power circuit breaker.
9. Black start
The output of the command for connecting to a de-energized busbar can be simulated in
input/test mode. The illumination of the LED "Switch-on" indicates, that at this moment, an
add-on order would be output for the corresponding switch if automatic mode was se-
lected.
10. By simultaneously pressing the two buttons "Digit↑" and "Cursor→ " automatic mode is ac-
tivated. This is also possible by setting the discrete signal "Configuration mode blocked".
11. After successfully connecting the generator power circuit breaker, the LED "Gen. CB ON"
must light up.
