WARNING
Read this entire manual and all other publications pertaining to the work to be performed before instal-
ling, operating, or servicing this equipment. Practice all plant and safety instructions and precautions.
Failure to follow instructions can cause personal injury and/or property damage.
The engine, turbine, or other type of prime mover should be equipped with an overspeed (overtempera-
ture, or overpressure, where applicable) shutdown device(s), that operates totally independently of the
prime mover control device(s) to protect against runaway or damage to the engine, turbine, or other
type of prime mover with possible personal injury or loss of life should the mechanical-hydraulic gov-
ernor(s) or electric control(s), the actuator(s), fuel control(s), the driving mechanism(s), the linkage(s),
or the controlled device(s) fail.
Any unauthorized modifications to or use of this equipment outside its specified mechanical, electrical,
or other operating limits may cause personal injury and/or property damage, including damage to the
equipment. Any such unauthorized modifications: (i) constitute "misuse" and/or "negligence" within
the meaning of the product warranty thereby excluding warranty coverage for any resulting damage,
and (ii) invalidate product certifications or listings.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to a control system that uses an alternator or battery-charging device, make sure
the charging device is turned off before disconnecting the battery from the system.
Electronic controls contain static-sensitive parts. Observe the following precautions to prevent dam-
age to these parts.
• Discharge body static before handling the control (with power to the control turned off, contact a
grounded surface and maintain contact while handling the control).
• Avoid all plastic, vinyl, and Styrofoam (except antistatic versions) around printed circuit boards.
• Do not touch the components or conductors on a printed circuit board with your hands or with
conductive devices.

General Information
Introduction
≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡
The MFR 3 has been designed to provide circuit breaker and load control and protection. It is possible to monitor
both the generator and mains simultaneously. The MFR 3 permits two circuit breakers to be synchronized and
control of the mains power.
The MFR 3 starts as a standard unit that may have additional functions added with each model. The model of the
MFR 3 is designated as follows:
MFR3 S45 -h0018 B/ PSV -ABDEF..Z
Options according to list of options:

These options can be found in the manual. Each chapter headline points out
if the described function is standard or is an option.
Model
[PSV]..Standard unit
[PSVX]..Package PSVX (=PSV + event logger, T7 analog inputs and real-
time clock)
Mounting
[B]..Flush-mounting
[M]..DIN-rail/rear panel mounting
Hardware variation
non-standard models; e.g. custom relays
Current transformer, secondary
[5] = ../5 A
Voltage transformer/PT's, secondary
[1] = 100 Vac
[4] = 400 Vac
Generator type
[S] = synchronous generator
[A] = asynchronous/inductive generator
Type
[MFR31] = unit with logic for one breaker
[MFR32] = unit with logic for two breakers
Examples:
• MFR 31S45B/PSVX+Q (standard unit with one breaker logic for synchronous generators and is flush-
mounting, 400 Vac PT inputs as well as ../5 A CT measuring inputs; Option Q: analog or three-position con-
troller functionality selectable, and an event logger, T7 analog inputs, and real-time clock
• MFR 32S15B/PSVX+Q (standard unit with two breaker logic for synchronous generators and is flush-
mounting, 100 Vac PT inputs as well as ../5 A CT measuring inputs; Option Q: analog or three-position con-
troller functionality selectable, and an event logger, T7 analog inputs, and real-time clock

Intended Use: The control unit must only be operated as described in this manual. The prerequisite for a proper
and safe operation of the product is correct transportation, storage, and installation as well as careful operation
and maintenance.
NOTE
This manual has been developed for a unit fitted with all available options. Inputs/outputs, functions,
configuration screens and other details described, which do not exist on your unit may be ignored.
The present manual has been prepared to enable the installation and commissioning of the unit. Be-
cause of the large variety of parameter settings, it is not possible to cover every combination. The ma-
nual is therefore only a guide. In case of incorrect entries or a total loss of functions, the default set-
tings can be taken from the enclosed list of parameters at the rear of this manual.

Measuring
≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡
Voltage
The control unit performs three-phase true RMS measurement of two star or delta voltage systems (generator
and mains). This unit can be delivered with the following measuring voltage ranges (rated values). The vol-
tage measuring is specific to the part number ordered (please note chapter "Technical Data", page 138):
- [1] 66/115 Vac
- [4] 230/400 Vac
Frequency
The measured voltages are digitally filtered for frequency measurement. The control unit performs three-
phase true RMS measurement of the frequency if the measured voltages exceed the rated value (100/400 Vac)
by 15 %. This ensures rapid and precise measurement of the frequency. Frequency is still measured correctly
if voltage is only measured in one phase.
Current
The control unit performs three-phase true RMS current measurement.
Real power
The control unit performs three-phase true RMS power measurement. This is accomplished by real-time mul-
tiplication of the wye voltage and instantaneous conductor current values (three-phase measurement) or the
phase voltage VL12 and the current IL1 (single-phase measurement).
Re-active power
The control unit performs single-phase true RMS re-active power measurement, which is calculated from ap-
parent power and active power.
Power factor
Power factor is determined as a time measurement between the filtered measured values of the voltage VL12
and the conductor current IL1.
Real energy
The positive real energy is integrated with a time measurement. The counter is controlled in the non-volatile
memory and has reverse counting protection. The data is saved in three-minute time frames with a resolution
of 1 Watt-hour. The display automatically updates the measured units when required to go to a larger refer-
ence. This permits the control unit to count up to 4,290 GWh. The counter is not PTB-calibrated.

Chapter 2.
Electrostatic Discharge Awareness
All electronic equipment is static-sensitive, some components more than others. To protect these components
from static damage, you must take special precautions to minimize or eliminate electrostatic discharges.
Follow these precautions when working with or near the control.
1. Before performing maintenance on the electronic control, discharge the static electricity on your body to
ground by touching and holding a grounded metal object (pipes, cabinets, equipment, etc.).
2. Avoid the build-up of static electricity on your body by not wearing clothing made of synthetic materials.
Wear cotton or cotton-blend materials as much as possible because these do not store static electric
charges as much as synthetics.
3. Keep plastic, vinyl, and Styrofoam materials (such as plastic or Styrofoam cups, cup holders, cigarette
packages, cellophane wrappers, vinyl books or folders, plastic bottles, and plastic ash trays) away from
the control, the modules, and the work area as much as possible.
4. Opening the control cover may void the unit warranty.

Do not remove the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) from the control cabinet unless absolutely necessary. If
you must remove the PCB from the control cabinet, follow these precautions:
• Ensure that the device is completely de-energized (all connectors must be disconnected).
• Do not touch any part of the PCB except the edges.
• Do not touch the electrical conductors, connectors, or components with conductive devices with your
hands.
• When replacing a PCB, keep the new PCB in the protective antistatic bag it comes in until you are
ready to install it. Immediately after removing the old PCB from the control cabinet, place it in the
protective antistatic bag.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to electronic components caused by improper handling, read and observe the pre-
cautions in Woodward manual 82715, Guide for Handling and Protection of Electronic Controls, Printed
Circuit Boards, and Modules.

Chapter 3.
Installation
CAUTION
A circuit breaker must be provided near to the device and in a position easily accessible to the opera-
tor. This must also bear a sign identifying it as an isolating switch for the unit.
NOTE
Connected inductive devices (such as operating current coils, undervoltage tripping devices, or aux-
iliary or power contacts) must be connected to a suitable interference suppressor.

Possible CAN Bus Problems
If no data is transmitted on the CAN bus, check the following common reasons for CAN bus communication
problems:
• T structure bus is utilized

• CAN-L and CAN-H are interchanged
• Not all devices on the bus are using identical Baud rates
• Terminating resistor are missing
• Baud rate to high for wiring length

Maximum CAN Bus Length
The maximum length of the communication bus wiring is dependent on the configured Baud rate. Refer to Table
3-1 for the maximum bus length (Source: CANopen; Holger Zeltwanger (Hrsg.); 2001 VDE VERLAG GMBH,
Berlin und Offenbach; ISBN 3-8007-2448-0).
Baud rate Max. length

1000 kbit/s 25 m
800 kbit/s 50 m
500 kbit/s 100 m
125 kbit/s 250 m
50 kbits/s 1000 m
20 kbit/s 2500 m
Table 3-1: Maximum CAN bus length
The maximum specified length for the communication bus wiring might not be achieved if wire of poor quality is
utilized, there is high contact resistance, or other conditions exist. Reducing the baud rate may overcome these is-
sues.
DPC - Direct Configuration Interface
NOTE
To configure via the configuration interface (direct configuration) you need the configuration cable (or-
dering code "DPC"), the program LeoPC1 (delivered with the cable) and the corresponding configura-
tion files. Please consult the online help installed when the program is installed for a description of the
LeoPC1 program and its setup.
If the parameter "Direct config." is switched to ON, the communication via the interface on termin-
als X1-X5 is disabled.

≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡
Operating Conditions
Idle Control and Synchronization
Idle control: Generator voltage and frequency are adjusted to the configured set point values by raising and lo-
wering the controller outputs for voltage and speed/frequency as required.
Synchronization: Generator voltage and frequency are adjusted to the busbar values (synchronization GCB) or
to the mains values (synchronization MCB) by raising and lowering the controller outputs for voltage and speed
as required. The command to connect the appropriate circuit breaker is output with respect to the breaker connect
time so the breaker closes at the synchronization point.

Power Factor Definition

≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡
The phasor diagram is used from the generator's view. This defines the following definitions.
Power Factor is defined as a ratio of the real power to apparent power. In a purely resistive circuit, the voltage
and current waveforms are instep resulting in a ratio or power factor of 1.00 (often referred to as unity). In an in-
ductive circuit the current lags behind the voltage waveform resulting in usable power (real power) and unusable
power (reactive power). This results in a positive ratio or lagging power factor (i.e. 0.85lagging). In a capacitive
circuit the current waveform leads the voltage waveform resulting in usable power (real power) and unusable
power (reactive power). This results in a negative ratio or a leading power factor (i.e. 0.85leading).
Inductive: Electrical load whose current waveform lags Capacitive: Electrical load whose current waveform
the voltage waveform thus having a lagging power fac- leads the voltage waveform thus having a leading pow-
tor. Some inductive loads such as electric motors have er factor. Some capacitive loads such as capacitor
a large startup current requirement resulting in lagging banks or buried cable result in leading power factors.

Analog Controller Outputs

≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡
The control unit may be equipped with an analog controller output in addition to a three-position controller out-
put. Additional configuration screens appear in configuration mode. The analog PID controller forms a closed-
loop control loop along 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 indi-
vidually. The configuration screens are used for this purpose.

Figure 4-5: Step response (example)
Various values can be obtained from the step response; these are required for adjusting the controller to its opti-
mum setting:
Rise time Trise: The period of time starting when a control variable leaves its steady-state condition following a
disturbance variable being applied to it and ending the first time the value re-enters the new steady-state condi-
tion.
Transient time Tsett: The period of time starting when a control variable leaves its steady-state condition follow-
ing a disturbance variable being applied to it and ending when the value permanently re-enters the new steady-
state condition.

Overshoot xm: Highest transient deviation value 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 %).
System deviation xd: Permanent deviation from the initial state value (PID controller: xd = 0).
By different conversions from these values, the values KPR, Tn and TV can be determined. Moreover, it is possi-
ble, by performing various calculations, to determine the optimal controller settings, e. g. by calculating compen-
sation or adjustment of the time constants, T-sum rule, symmetric optimum, Bode-diagram. Other setting proce-
dures and information may be obtained from current literature.
Controller Setting
CAUTION
The following must be observed regarding setting up the controller:
• Ensure that the emergency shutdown system is functional.
• While determining the critical frequency, monitor the amplitude and frequency.
• If either of the two values change uncontrollably:
EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN 
Initial state: The start position of the controller is determined using the initial state of the controller. If the con-
troller is switched off, the basic setting can be used to output a fixed controller position. If the genset is not run-
ning, the controller automatically resets to the initial state.
Initial state Initial state frequency controller 0 to 100 %

frequency = 000%
Analog controller output setting with controller switched off. This value is also
used as the control start point when the generator is initially started.
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 input); this setting method assumes a pure lag element con-
nected in series with a first-order lag system.

1. Controller operated as a P-only controller

(where Tn = ∞ [Parameter setting: Tn = 0], TV = 0).
2. Increase gain KPR (P gain) until the control loop oscillates continuously at KP = KPcrit
CAUTION
If the engine starts to oscillate uncontrollably, perform an emergency shutdown and alter the screen
setting accordingly.
3. At the same time: measure the critical 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

Figure 4-6: Step response - controller setting
P-gain P gain (KPR) Proportional action coefficient 1 to 240

Kpr = 000
The proportional-action coefficient KPR indicates the closed-loop control system
gain. By increasing the gain, the response is increased to permit larger corrections
to the variable to be controlled. The farther out of tolerance the process is the larger
the response action is to return the process to the tolerance band. If the gain is con-
figured too high, the result is excessive overshoot/undershoot of the desired value.
Reset time Reset time (Tn) 0.2 to 60.0 s

Tn = 00,0s
The reset time Tn represents the I-component of the PID controller. The reset time
corrects for any offset (between setpoint and process variable) automatically over
time by shifting the proportioning band. Reset automatically changes the output re-
quirements until the process variable and the setpoint are the same. This parameter
permits the user to adjust how quickly the reset attempts to correct for any offset.
The reset time constant must be greater than the dirivitive time constant. If the reset
time constant is too small, the engine will continually oscilate. If the reset time con-
stant is too large, the engine will take to long to settle at a steady state.
Rate time Rate time (TV) 0.00 to 6.00 s

Tv=0,00s
The derivative-action time TV represents the D-component of the PID controller.
By increasing this parameter, the stability of the system is increased. The controller
will attempt to slow down the action of the throttle in an attempt to prevent exces-
sive overshoot or undershoot. Essentially this is the brake for the process. This por-
tion of the PID loop operates anywhere within the range of the process unlike reset.

Load and/or Var Sharing

≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡
The control ensures load and/or var sharing proportional to the rated power of the generators under every operat-
ing condition (mains parallel operation, isolated operation in parallel with other gensets, or reverse synchroniza-
tion of the busbar to the mains).
The controller can communicate with up to 14 generators with a maximum power rating of 16MW each. Any
controller not in constant power/base load mode and that has the GCB closed will load and/or var share.
Operating in mains parallel with mains interchange (import/export) real power control: Each controller
participating in load/var sharing controls the generator set that it is assigned so the real power set point at the
mains interchange remains constant. The real power set point for the mains interchange must be configured iden-
tically in each controller.
All controllers communicate via a CAN bus. This enables the controllers to adjust the real power generated by
the generator while remaining within the rated power of the generator. A smaller generator will contribute less
real power as compared to a large generator, but they will both be utilized to the same capacity factor. An exam-
ple of this would be a 100KW generator and a 1000KW generator and a mains interchange of 825KW. The
100KW generator would contribute 75KW and the 1000KW generator would contribute 750 KW or both genera-
tors would be at 75% of their rated capacity.
No reactive power sharing is performed when operating in parallel with the mains. The reactive power will be
defined by the configured power factor set point of the individual controllers.
The parameter "kW/kvar sharing: reference variable kW" can be used now to define the priority of the reference
variable (real power at interchange) for real power sharing. A higher percentage influences the control more to-
wards the real power set point for the interchange. A lower percentage influences the control more towards real
power sharing.
The parameter "kW/kvar sharing: reference variable kvar" has no influence here.
Isolated operation in parallel: Each controller participating in load/var sharing controls the generator set to
which it is assigned in such a manner that the set frequency and the set voltage at the bus remain constant. This
makes it imperative that the same frequency and voltage set points are configured for each controller.
All controllers communicate via a CAN bus. This enables the controllers to adjust the real power generated by
the generator while remaining within the rated power of the generator. A smaller generator will contribute less
real power as compared to a large generator, but they will both be utilized to the same capacity factor. An exam-
ple of this would be a 100KW generator and a 1000KW generator and a load of 825KW. The 100KW generator
would contribute 75KW and the 1000KW generator would contribute 750 KW or both generators would be at
75% of their rated capacity.
The reactive power will be allocated in a way that it is the same for all generators involved.
The parameter "kW/kvar sharing: reference variable kW" can be used now to define the priority of the reference
variable (frequency) for real power sharing. A higher percentage influences the control more towards frequency
control. A lower percentage influences the control more towards real power sharing.
The parameter "kW/kvar sharing: reference variable kvar" can be used now to define the priority of the reference
variable (voltage) for reactive power sharing. A higher percentage influences the control more towards voltage
control. A lower percentage influences the control more towards reactive power sharing.
Reverse synchronization of the busbar to the mains: Distribution is carried out according to the type of iso-
lated operation. The set point value for the bus frequency is determined by the mains frequency + dfmax/2.
Example: If dfmax = 0.2 Hz, this results for dfmax/2 = 0.1 Hz (i.e. in a system of 50 Hz, the busbar will be raised to
50.1 Hz).

Pre-requisites: It is imperative that the rated system frequencies (page 64) and the circuit breaker logic
(page 88) are set identically for all units participating in load/var sharing.
Description of the interface for load/var sharing: Load/var sharing is based on a multi-master-capable bus be-
tween the controls. This structure enables the parallel operation of up to 14 generators.
The following must be noted to ensure trouble-free operation of the CAN bus:
1. The maximum CAN bus length must not exceed 250 meters.
2. The CAN bus must be terminated at each end with terminating resistors that correspond to the wave im-
pedance of the CAN bus cable (approx. 120 ohm).
3. The CAN bus must be of a linear structure. Dead-end feeders are not permissible.
4. The recommended cable for use as the CAN bus cable is a "Twisted-shielded-pair" (Ex.: Lappkabel Uni-
tronic LIYCY (TP) 2×2×0.25, UNITRONIC-Bus LD 2×2×0.22).
5. The CAN bus cable must not be routed in the vicinity of high current power lines.
Schematic of the load/var sharing via CAN bus:

Each single unit compares the utilization factor of its generator with the mean utilization factor of all other gene-
rators. This control difference is compared with the control difference of the reference variable (e.g. frequency
set point – measured frequency) and results a new reference variable.
Frequency control is carried out via the measured voltage/frequency of the voltage system.

NOTE
Please also note the parameters to this option in chapter Language Manager at page 56.
In order to load a different language into the unit, please proceed as follows:
1. Establish a connection between your PC and the unit via the direct configuration cable (DPC) or via a Ga-
teway GW 4. To do this, connect the serial cable end to the COM port of your PC and insert the RJ45
plug in the socket on the side of the unit.
2. Enter the password for code level 2 into the unit. Also read chapter Password Protection at page 59.
3. Scroll down through the display to the configuration screen "load language".
4. Enter "YES" to load the language.
5. Scroll down only until you reach the configuration screen "language number" and select the base language
in which you enter "0".
6. Enter in the "number of tool" screen the numbers (1 to 8) with which you operate the MFR via LeoPC1.
These numbers are identical to the unit numbers.
7. Now start the LeoPC1 and load the corresponding configuration file. Ensure, that direct configuration is
selected in the device settings in LeoPC1 and the connection between device and LeoPC1 has been
started.
8. Open the "Load Language" window and load the desired language file.
9. Go to the "Which texts have to be transferred?" area and select "All texts". Next click on the "Transfer
language" button to start loading the file into the control unit.
10. If, after transmission of the first language an additional language is to be loaded, the SECOND language
must be selected in the configuration screen "Sprache/language" of the unit or enter a "one" in the "Lan-
guage number" screen. Next repeat steps 6 through 9.
11. It is also possible to load a language via the CAN interface. If this method is utilized, the direct configura-
tion port is disabled in the device and the data communication settings in LeoPC1 must be changed to
CAN.

nerator and the mains voltage display.
5 -7%..fN..+7% Phase position / synchroscope

Color: Red/Yellow/Green
The LED's between -7 % and +7 % serve to visualize the generator frequen-
cy. The rated frequency (fN) is entered in the "generator rated frequency"
screen. If the frequency is greater than +7 % or less than -7 %, the corres-
ponding outer LED flashes.
As soon as the synchronization is started, the double voltage/double fre-
quency display appears and the synchroscope becomes active. The LEDs
show the current phase angle between the two displayed voltages. The green
LED in the center of the 15 LED's indicates that the measured phase angle
between the voltage systems displayed is less than 12 ° electrical. The phase
angle is only displayed if the frequencies of the two voltages are within the
following permissible ranges:
Generator 88 to 112 % fN
Mains 96 to 104 % fN
A distinction is made between two directions of rotation:

-7 % → +7 % = The LEDs illuminate from left to right, the generator fre-
quency is higher than the mains.
+7 % → -7 % = The LEDs illuminate from right to left, the generator fre-

Configuration
Configuration can be performed via the front panel push buttons and LC display or using a PC and the LeoPC1
program with the serial interface. Additionally it is possible to configure the unit via CAN bus. The following
baud rates apply to each method:
• Direct configuration 9,600 Baud (8 bit, no parity, 1 stop bit)

• CAN bus configuration 125 kBaud
CAUTION
Please note that configuration only should be performed when system is not operating.
Generator voltage must not be connected during configuration and the DI "Configuration blocked"
(terminal 34) must be de-energized.
Code level 2 access is required to select between direct configuration or configuration via CAN.
NOTE
Refer to Appendix B for a complete list of parameters at the end of this manual.

Introduction
≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡
The configuration screens have an AUTOROLL function when you are in configuration mode (simultaneously
pressing "Digit↑" and "Cursor→"). If the "Select" button is pressed and held, the scroll function will be activated
and the user will be able to rapidly advance through the parameter screens. It is possible to back-up four configu-
ration screens (exception: the break from the first to the last screen is not possible). To do this, simultaneously
press and release the "Select" and "Cursor→" buttons. If an action, entry, or modification, is not performed with-
in 60 seconds, the unit reverts to the automatic mode.
NOTE
There are two different hardware versions described in this manual: A 100 Vac version [1] and a
400 Vac version [4]. The two versions vary as far as the configuration screens, the input of the parame-
ters and the setting limits are concerned. The respective voltage values ([1]... or [4]...) are placed first to
differentiate the two types.

Password Protection
≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡
The unit is equipped with a three-level code and configuration hierarchy. This permits multiple levels of access
to configuration screens for different users. A distinction is made between:
Code level 0 (CS0) - User: Third Party

Only monitoring of measured values is permitted. The configuration of parameters is blocked.
Code level 1 (CS1) - User: Customer

Monitoring of measured values and select parameters may be changed (e.g. rated power, etc.). Changing a
password is not possible in this level.
Code level 2 (CS2) - User: Commissioner

The user has complete access to display and change all parameters. The user may also set and change pass-
words for code levels 1 and 2 (see below).
NOTE
Access codes remain active for two hours after the last action is performed, even if the configuration
mode is accessed repeatedly. If an incorrect password is entered, the control unit reverts to code level
CS0 and external users are blocked from accessing the unit (setting of password on page 72). The de-
sired code level may be accessed again by entering the correct password for that code level.
Parameter 8 Enter code number 0000 to 9999

Enter code
0000 To access the configuration mode, the control unit requests the code number that is
specific to a code level. The number in the LC display is a randomly generated
number (RN) and may be confirmed by pressing the "Select" push button. If the
random number is confirmed the code level remains at its current level. Two four-
digit code numbers (0000 to 9999) exist for accessing the code levels or setting up
new pass codes for the users. A pass code is not required for "third party" code lev-
el CS0, as the user does not require access to configuring parameters (protected via
the code).

Event Recorder
≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡
NOTE
The viewing and acknowledgment of alarms depends on access authorization:
# # #
Viewing of alarms Access authorization CS 0, CS 1 and CS 2
#
Acknowledgment of alarms Access authorization CS 2
#
CS = code level (see chapter "Alarm Class" on page 44.
If an alarm occurs in the unit, an entry into the event log is made. The following information is supported/stored:
Event
Date of occurrence
Time of occurrence
The event recorder stores the last 50 alarms in a FIFO (First In First Out) format, beginning with the most recent
event. By pressing the "ACK" push button, the displayed alarm condition is deleted from the event recorder. The
alarms are displayed on two lines. The top line indicates the date and time of the alarm occurred; the lower line
shows the type of alarm.

STOP Analog inp.
Limit value 2 (STOP) for analog input 1 has been exceeded. The text of the analog
alarm input will be moved to the right either two or four spaces depending on the
alarm class (here alarm class "STOP"). In this case the measured value is not dis-
played due to the length of the text. The length of the analog input text must be tak-
en into consideration when configuring the analog input!

Direct Configuration
≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡
NOTE
To carry out direct configuration, you require a direct configuration cable (order code "DPC"), the
LeoPC1 program (supplied with the cable) and the corresponding configuration files. After the program
has been installed, consult the online help utility for a description of the PC program and its setup.
Remote configuration: For remote configuration, the CS2 password must be entered via the parameter "pass-
word DPC", otherwise the values can only be read and not written. If the unit is at the CS0 pass code level it will
only permit the user to read the parameters. The control unit will not permit the user to modify any of the para-
meters. When the CS2 pass code is entered via LeoPC1 through the CAN bus, configuration of the unit will only
be able to be performed through the CAN bus. The pass code level will change back to CS0 after 2 hours of inac-
tivity, at which point the pass code will have to be entered again to modify any parameters. The password must
be input prior to loading a language file. If the CS2 password is entered directly into the control unit, configura-
tion via the CAN bus is automatically enabled.
NOTE
The direct configuration via LeoPC1 and the configuration using the control panel are independent of
each other and must be unlocked independent of each other. Unlocking the access via the control pan-
el does not permit a configuration via LeoPC1 and the other way round.
CAUTION
If the following parameter "direct para." is configured to "YES", communication via the CAN bus (ter-
minals X1 to X5) is disabled. If communication is to be re-established via the CAN bus after the unit is
configured (e.g. CAN bus connection to a Gateway GW 4), "Direct para." must be set to "NO"!
Direct configuration is disabled once the firing speed has been reached. This means that if further mo-
fifications to the control unit's parameters is desired, the only possible methods to do this is using the
display and push buttons manually or via the CAN bus interface. The parameter "Direct para." is auto-
matically changed from YES to NO (this is a function of the control unit software). The direct configura-
tion function is de-activated for safety reasons. This is to prevent the possibility of a simultaneous ge-
nerator start up and closing of circuit breakers to a dead bus in a multiple generator system (e.g.
emergency power situation).
Parameter 10 Direct configuration YES/NO

Direct para.
YES YES .............. The direct configuration plug is enabled and direct configuration of
the control is possible. The CAN bus terminals X1-X5 are disabled,
terminating any communication for the unit on the CAN bus. The
following conditions must be met in order to carry out configuration
via the direct configuration cable:
- A connection must be established via the direct configuration cable
between the unit and the PC
- The baud rate of the PC program must be set to 9,600 Baud
- The corresponding configuration file must be used (file name:
"xxxx-xxxx-yyy-zz.asm", initiated by xxxx-xxxx-yyy-zz.cfg)
NO................ The configuration port is disabled and direct configuration cannot be
performed. The CAN bus connection via the terminals X1 to X5 is
enabled.

CAUTION
Failure to ensure correct configuration of parameters may lead to incorrect measurements and the con-
trol failing to respond properly!
Parameter 11 Configure base settings YES/NO

Configure
Measuring YES Various groups of parameters are grouped together in blocks to aid in the rapid na-
vigation through the large number of configuration screens. Selecting "YES" or
"NO" does not determine if control or monitoring is performed. The user’s selec-
tion has the following effect:
YES ..............The configuration screens in this block are displayed and can either
be viewed ("Select" push button) or modifications can be made to the
parameters ("Cursor→", "Digit↑" or "Select" push buttons). This
does not disable or enable individual parameters, only if the individ-
ual parameters in this parameter block may be accessed for modifica-
tions.
NO ................The parameters in this block are not displayed, cannot be modified
and are therefore skipped.
Parameter 12 Generator number 1 to 4

Generator number
00 For multiple generator applications that are coupled via a CAN bus, a unique num-
ber must be assigned to each generator for differentiation purposes. The generator
number 1 should be assigned if the control is used in a single unit application. The
generator number entered here corresponds to the generator number in the program
LeoPC (in files for multiple generators).

Parameter 23 Voltage measuring system threephase/singlephase

Voltage system
---------------- Three-phase network The electrical system (generator, busbar, and mains) is a
delta system consisting of only the three external conductors (without

play. The watchdog screens are a neutral conductor). The N-lug (terminal 0) is not connected. Only
defined further below. the phase-to-phase voltages are indicated in the display.
Single-phase network The electrical system (generator, busbar, and mains) is a
wye system consisting of the three external conductors and a neutral
conductor. As a result, the N-lug (terminal 0) must be connected. The
phase-to-phase voltages and the phase-to-neutral voltages are indi-
cated in the display.
CAUTION
If the following parameter is configured to "singlephase" a phase/vector jump monitoring is not possi-
ble.
Parameter 24 Voltage measurement system protection threephase / singlephase

the phase-to-phase voltages (three-wire system). Generally the phase-to-neutral
This screen affects
the protective functions. voltages are monitored when using the 400V model on low-voltage systems, and
the phase-to-phase voltages are monitored when using the 100V model for the me-
dium-high-voltage systems. Monitoring the phase-to-phase voltage is vital to pre-
vent detection of line-to-earth-faults in compensated or isolated mains applications,
which result in a voltage monitoring system fault.
singlephase .. The voltage at the terminals 1 through 4 are measured as a four-wire
installation. All subsequent screens concerning protective functions
refer to the phase-to-neutral voltage (VL-N).
threephase ... The voltages at the terminals 1 through 4 are measured as a three-
wire system. All subsequent screens concerning protective functions
refer to the phase-to-phase voltage (VL-L).

Generator Current, CT
Parameter 25 CT ratio, generator [5] 10 to 7,000/5

Current transf.
generator 0000/x The current transformer ratio is necessary in order to display the actual values and
control the power. When sizing a CT for the system, the minimum current flow for
the CT should not be lower than 60% of the transformer's rated current at rated cur-
rent. A lower percentage may lead to malfunctions and additional inaccuracies in
the control and monitoring functions also occur.
The primary rated current of the CT must be entered here. It is indicated on the data
plate of the CT. The secondary rated current cannot be configured and is 5 A.
If the current in the primary winding of the CT reaches the primary rated current,
the secondary rated current flows in the secondary winding of the CT.
Example for current transformer ratio 300/5:

Current in the primary winding = 300 A -> current in the secondary winding = 5 A
Current in the primary winding = 150 A -> current in the second. winding = 2,5 A

NOTE
The following parameter is only available for units with a software version of 3.4006 or higher. Units
with a lower software version use the internal value “3”.
Parameter 26 Power display format 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8

Format Power
The format for the power display, (bus) transmission and analog output resolution
can be configured here.
This parameter enables to find a setting, which gives enough resolution while being
able to display the maximum value. The display format changes when an apparent
power value is exceeded, which is calculated from the transformer settings accord-
ing to the following formula: S = UGNPRIM * IGNPRIM * √3
UGNPRIM = generator voltage transformer primary setting (Gen. voltage primary)
IGNPRIM = generator current transformer setting (Current transf. Generator)
1.................... 00.0k [W/VA/var] (S up to 10 kVA)

0000k [W/VA/var] (S from 10 kVA up to 1000 kVA)
00.0M [W/VA/var] (S from 1000 kVA up to 10 MVA)
000M [W/VA/var] (S from 10 MVA)








Example:
S = UGNPRIM * IGNPRIM * √3 = 10 kV * 200 A* √3 = 3,46 MVA
If this parameter is configured to "3" (default), the power format is 00.0 MW, if it is configured to "4", it is
0000 kW.
NOTE
If this parameter is configured for a higher resolution (higher value), large values (above the calculated
apparent power) might be displayed incorrectly. However, this parameter does not affect the monitor-
ing functions.
Parameter 27 Generator power measuring singlephase/threephase

Power measuring
Gen. ----------- When selecting generator power measurement, single-phase or three-phase mea-
surement may be selected. If "single-phase power measurement" is configured, the
voltage in phase L12 and the current in phase L1 are used for power measurement. If
"three-phase power measurement" is configured, the currents from all three phases
and the relevant voltages are used for power measurement.
NOTE
When producing positive real power, a positive real current flows in the "k to l" direction in the current
transformer. Positive re-active power means that with a positive effective direction, inductive re-active
(lagging) current flows in the effective direction. If the unit is connected to the terminals of a generator
and the outgoing circuits of the current transformer facing the generator are connected to "k", the unit
shows a positive real power when the generator supplies real power. Refer to the "Direction of Power"
section on page 34.
Parameter 28 Generator rated power 5 to 16,000 kW

Rated power
gen. 0000kW The generator rated power is entered into this screen. It is critical to enter the cor-
rect value in this parameter as numerous measurement, control, and monitoring
functions refer to this value (e.g. generator overload monitoring).
Parameter 29 Generator rated current 10 to 7,000 A

Rated current
generator 0000A The generator rated current is entered into this screen. It is critical to enter the cor-
rect value in this parameter as numerous measurement, control, and monitoring
functions refer to this value (e.g. generator overcurrent monitoring).

Mains Current, CT / Mains Power
Mains current measuring via mains current transformer/CT

Parameter 30 CT ratio, mains 5 to 7,000/x A
Current transf.
mains 0000/x The current transformer ratio is necessary in order to display the actual values and
control the power. When sizing a CT for the system, the minimum current flow for
the CT should not be lower than 60% of the transformer's rated current at rated cur-
rent. A lower percentage may lead to malfunctions and additional inaccuracies in
the control and monitoring functions also occur.
The primary rated current of the CT must be entered here. It is indicated on the data
plate of the CT. The secondary rated current cannot be configured and is 5 A
If the current in the primary winding of the CT reaches the primary rated current,
the secondary rated current flows in the secondary winding of the CT.
Example for current transformer ratio 300/5:

Current in the primary winding = 300 A -> current in the secondary winding = 5 A
Current in the primary winding = 150 A -> current in the second. winding = 2,5 A
Parameter 31 Angle adjustment for measuring of mains current -180 to 180 °

Angle adjustment
Mainscurr. 000° If a transformer is located between the measuring point for the voltage of the mains
and the generator, it is possible that there is a phase shift between these two mea-
suring points. If so, special voltage transducers must be used to adjust the phase
angle of the voltages. The synchronization is at the right phase angle with these
transducers, but measurement of the mains power is wrong because mains current
is still measured without phase angle correction. This configuration screen allows
the user to adjust the phase angle measurement of the mains current, so that the
measurement of the mains power is correct.

Change Passwords
NOTE
Once the code level is entered, access to the configuration menus will be allowed for two hours after
the last function is performed or until another password is entered into the control. If a user needs to
exit a code level then code level CS0 should be entered. This will block any configuration of the con-
trol. A user may return to CS0 by allowing the entered password to expire after two hours or by chang-
ing any one digit on the random number generated on the password screen and entering it into the
unit. If power to the unit is cycled off, the unit starts up in CS0.

the ramp is used to alter the rate at which the governor modifies the setpoint value.
The more rapidly the desired change of the setpoint value is to be carried out, the
greater the value entered here must be.

NOTE
The following settings in the n/f controller area affect the P controller.
Parameter 42 f controller: type THREESTEP / ANALOG / PWM

F/P contr.type

the relay manager to any configured relay. You can use the following
parameters of the relay manager:
parameter 99 = n+/f+/P+
parameter 100 = n-/f-/P-
ANALOG .... Control is performed via the analog controller outputs to terminals
8/9/10. The signal selection is made in Parameter 46 "F/P contr. out-
put" and though the use of an external jumper depending on the con-
figured signal.
PWM ........... The control of speed/frequency/real power is performed via a PWM
signal. The signal amplitude is set in Parameter 47 "Level PWM". An
additional jumper must be added.

a steady state, the actual value does not deviate from the generator
frequency set point by more than the configured dead band value.
Synchronization The generator frequency is controlled in such a manner, that in
its steady state, the differential frequency does not exceed the confi-
gured dead band value. The mains or busbar frequency is used as the
set point value.
Parameter 44 f controller: minimum ON period 10 to 250 ms

Freq.controller
time pulse>000ms The minimum ON period of the relay should be selected in such a manner that the
speed governor responds reliably to the control pulse. The time configured here de-
termines the length of the control pulse. The smallest possible time must be confi-
gured in order to ensure optimum control behavior.
Parameter 45 f controller: gain 0.1 to 99.9

Freq.controller
gains.Kp 00.0 The gain factor KP indicates the frequency controller gain. By increasing the gain
factor, the response is increased to permit larger corrections to the variable to be
controlled. The farther out of tolerance the process is the larger the response action
is to return the process to the tolerance band. If the gain is configured too high, the
result is excessive overshoot/undershoot of the desired value.

Power Factor Controller

Parameter 61 Power factor controller ON/OFF
Pow.fact.contr.
ON ON ................The power factor is controlled independent of the load in mains pa-
rallel operations. If the measured secondary currents are lower than
5% of the rated current, the power factor cannot be accurately meas-
ured. In order to prevent power factor swings, the controller automat-
ically locks the power factor at a set value.The subsequent screens of
this function are displayed.
OFF ..............Power factor control is disabled, and the subsequent screens of this
function are not displayed.
Parameter 62 Power factor controller: internal set point value i0.70 to 1.00 to c0.70
Pow.fact.contr.
setpoint 0.00 When operating in mains parallel, the control regulates the re-active power in a
manner that results in the generator producing power at the power factor confi-
gured here. The designation "i" equals inductive (generator overexcited/leading)
and "c" capacitive (generator underexcited/lagging) re-active power. This set point
is enabled only in mains parallel operation.
NOTE
Please note the configured settings for the voltage controller (refer to Voltage Controller on page 77).
The settings for the voltage controller also affect the power factor controller.

point 1 only. The external set point value specification cannot be car-
ried out via the 0 to 20 mA input. The subsequent screens of this

Parameter 67 Power factor controller: dead band 0.5 to 25.0 %

Pow.fact.contr.
dead band 00.0% The unit automatically calculates the amount of re-active power, which is required
to maintain the configured power factor. In mains parallel operation, the re-active
power is controlled in such a manner, that in its steady state, the actual value does
not deviate from the internally calculated percentage set point (set point 1) value by
more than the configured dead band. In this case, the percentage value refers to the
generator rated power.
Parameter 68 Power factor controller: gain 0.1 to 99.9

Pow.fact.contr.
gain Kp 00.0 The gain factor KP indicates the power factor controller gain. By increasing the
gain factor, the response is increased to permit larger corrections to the variable to
be controlled. The farther out of tolerance the process is the larger the response ac-
tion is to return the process to the tolerance band. If the gain is configured too high,

trolled at the configured set point (see page 73) when the real power
controller is enabled. The subsequent screens of this function are dis-
played.
OFF ..............Control is disabled, and the subsequent screens of this function are
not displayed.
Set Point Ramp %/s
Parameter 73 P controller: set point ramp %/s 0 to 100 %/s

Power controller
ramp 000 %/s The setpoint change is supplied to the controller via a percent per second ramp in
reference to the generator rated power (Parameter 28). The slope of the ramp is
used to alter the rate at which the controller modifies the set point value. The more
rapidly the change in the set point is to be carried out, the greater this value must
be.
Power Limitation
Parameter 74 P controller: real power limitation - maximum 10 to 120 %

Power limit
P max. 000% If the maximum generator real power is to be limited, the desired limit of the gene-
rator rated power (Parameter 28) must be entered into this screen as a percentage.
The generator is controlled in such a manner that this value is not exceeded. The
value "Pmax" only limits the real power controller set point and has no effect in iso-
lated operation.
Parameter 75 P controller: real power limitation - minimum 0 to 50 %

Power limit
P min. 00% If the minimum generator real power is to be limited, the desired limit of the gene-
rator rated power (Parameter 28) must be entered into this screen as a percentage.
The generator is controlled in such a manner that the generator real power does not
fall below this value. This parameter is not enabled during constant power control.

External Set Point Value

Power setpoint
external ON ON................ The real power set point 2 value may be specified via an external
signal. The subsequent screens of this function are displayed. This
setpoint is enabled when terminal 5 ("Setpoint 1↔2") is energized.
OFF.............. If this function is configured to "OFF", the control unit utilizes set
point 1 only. The external set point value specification cannot be car-
ried out via the 0-20 mA input. The subsequent screens of this func-
tion are not displayed.
Parameter 77 P set point: range 0 to 20 / 4 to 20 mA

Analog input

4 to 20 mA ... Minimum value of the setpoint is 4 mA; maximum value is 20 mA.
CAUTION
The interchange power set point (import/export power) can be scaled. When controlling interchange
power, it is vital to ensure that a constant power setting is not configured simultaneously with an Im-
port or Export power setting when scaling the external analog input.

Parameter 80 P controller: dead band 0.1 to 25.0 %

Power controller
dead band 00.0% In mains parallel operation, the real power is controlled in such a manner, that in its
steady state, the current value does not deviate from the real power set point by
more than the configured percentage value. In this case, the percentage value refers
to the generator rated power (Parameter 28).
Parameter 81 P controller: gain factor 0.1 to 99.9

Power controller
gain Kp 00.0 The gain factor KP indicates the power controller gain. By increasing the gain fac-
tor, the response is increased to permit larger corrections to the variable to be con-
trolled. The farther out of tolerance the process is the larger the response action is
to return the process to the tolerance band. If the gain is configured too high, the
Parameter 82 P controller: dead band factor 1.0 to 9.9

Power controller
band ratio *0.0 Once the controller has reached a steady state condition and has not output a
raise/lower pulse for more than 5 seconds, the dead band is increased by the confi-
gured dead band ratio factor.
Example: In the case of an dead band of 2.5 % and a factor of 2.0 the dead band is in-creased after 5 s to
5.0 %. If the control deviation subsequently exceeds 5.0 %, again, the controller's original sensitivity is
automatically reset (2.5 %). This input can be used, in the event of small control deviations, to avoid un-
necessarily frequent actuation processes, thereby protecting the adjustment facility.

Breaker Logic
Parameter 94 Breaker logic see below
Breaker logic:
---------------- The unit automatically controls the two breakers (MCB and GCB). Up to five (5)
breaker logic modes may be selected from. These are: EXTERNAL and
PARALLEL for MFR-31 & MFR-32, and OPEN TRANSIT, CLOSED TRANSIT,
and INTERCHANGE for MFR-32.
NOTE
For a dead bus start it is necessary to enable the dead bus start function. To trigger the watchdogs
"generator underfrequency" as well as "generator undervoltage", terminal 6 (enable monitoring) must
be energized. It is possible to switch the breaker logic by energizing and de-energizing discrete input
[D03] (terminal 64). The second breaker logic may be configured during the configuration of the dis-
crete inputs. When discrete input [D03] is energized, the second breaker logic is enabled.

al 53 is not energized, the MCB remains closed even if the busbar is
voltage-free - terminal 53 "Enable MCB" must be energized.
Breaker logic CLOSED TRANSITION - make-before-break

In this breaker logic, the MCB and the GCB are synchronized, in order to avoid a voltage-free busbar. Immediately after the synchroniza-
tion of one breaker, the other is opened. Continuous mains parallel operation is not possible.

Add-off ramp
max.time 000s This time can be used to influence two functions:
Add-off: The maximum amount of time the generator has to shed load below 3%
of the generator load rating (Parameter 28) is configured here. If the generator has
not dropped below 3% of the generator load rating within this time period, the
GCB is opened.
Add-on with soft loading: If the mains interchange (import/export) real power
value does not reach 0kW in breaker logic "INTERCHANGE" within the time con-
figured here, a class F1 alarm and an alarm message are issued. In addition, the re-
lay manager relay programmed with relay manager function 93 (Appendix E) is
enabled and the MCB is prevented from opening.
Parameter 96 Max. permissible time with F2 prior to open the GCB 0 to 999 s
GCB open at F2
max.time 000s Prerequisite: Load sharing and automatic start/stop are configured "ON". The gene-
rator is in isolated operation and at least one additional generator is connected to
the busbar.
If a class F2 alarm occurs, shutting the generator down is delayed by the time con-
figured here. This gives another generator the opportunity to start and assume the
load. The generator is shut down when this time expires.
Parameter 97 GCB: signal logic Continuous/Impulse

Signal logic GCB
---------------- Continuous ..The "Command: close GCB" relay can be looped directly into the
self-holding circuit of the power circuit breaker. After the connect
pulse has been issued and the reply from the GCB has been received,
the "Command: close GCB" relay remains energized. If the power
circuit breaker has to be opened, the relay de-energizes.
Impulse ........The "Command: close GCB" relay issues a connect pulse. An exter-
nal holding circuit must performs the GCB self-holding functions of
the GCB. The reply of the GCB is used to detect the closed contacts.
In both cases, the "Command: open GCB" relay energizes to open the breaker.
Parameter 98 GCB: open (terminal 41/42) NO-cont./NC-cont.

Opening GCB
---------------- NO-cont. ......If the GCB is to be opened, the "Command: open GCB" relay (ter-

is de-energized again.
NC-cont........If the GCB is to be opened, the "Command: open GCB" relay (ter-
minal 41/42) is de-energized. Following "Reply: GCB is open" the
relay is energized again.

Synchronization
Parameter 99 Synch.: max. permissible differential frequency (pos. slip) 0.02 to 0.49 Hz
Synchronize
df max 0.00Hz This is the upper frequency differential limit for synchronization. The prerequisite
for a breaker closure command is that the positive frequency differential be lower
than the configured value. A positive value corresponds to positive slip. This
means that the generator frequency is higher than the busbar frequency for syn-
chronizing the GCB or the bus bar frequency is higher than the mains frequency for
synchronizing the MCB.
Parameter 100 Synch.: max. permissible differential frequency (neg. slip) 0.00 to -0.49 Hz
Synchronize
df min -0.00Hz This is the lower frequency differential limit for synchronization. The prerequisite
for a breaker closure command is that the negative frequency differential be lower
than the configured value. A negative value corresponds to negative slip. This
means that the generator frequency is lower than the busbar frequency for synchro-
nizing the GCB or the bus bar frequency is lower than the mains frequency for syn-
chronizing the MCB.
Parameter 101 Synch.: max. permissible differential voltage 00.1 to 15.0 %

Synchronize
dV max 00.0% The measured voltage differential between the two systems to be connected cannot
exceed the percentage value configured here for a connect command to be issued.
Parameter 102 Synch.: pulse time 0.02 to 0.26 s

Synchronize
time pulse>0.00s The duration of the connect pulse can be adjusted for the switching element. This
applies to synchronization and dead bus start closure.
Parameter 103 Synch.: inherent breaker time GCB 40 to 300 ms

Closing time
GCB 000ms The time configured here permits the control to compensate for the inherent delay
in the GCB from the time it receives the command to close and the contacts are
closed. This permits the controller to issue the closure command independent of the
differential frequency so that the GCB contacts close at the synchronous point.
Parameter 104 Synch.: inherent breaker time CB 40 to 300 ms

closing time
MCB 000ms The time configured here permits the control to compensate for the inherent delay
in the MCB from the time it receives the command to close and the contacts are
closed. This permits the controller to issue the closure command independent of the
differential frequency so that the MCB contacts close at the synchronous point.
Parameter 105 Synch.: breaker de-blocking ON/OFF

Autom.breaker
deblocking ON ON................ Prior to each connect pulse, a "Command: open GCB" or "Com-
mand: open MCB" is issued for 1 second. A connect signal is then is-
sued until the circuit breaker is closed.

Dead Bus Start

If the busbar is in a voltage-free state, the direct connection (dead bus start) of the GCB or MCB may be carried
out. If both connect commands are issued simultaneously, priority is given to the MCB if the input "Enable

Time-Overcurrent Monitoring (TOC)
NOTE
All percentage indications of the current are in relation to the generator rated current (Parameter 29).
Function: The user may configure two steps for time-overcurrent monitoring. The threshold values and delays
can be configured so that the individual set points are independent of each other. Overcurrent level 1 disconnects
lower overcurrent levels that are present over longer periods of time. Overcurrent level 2 disconnects the more
destructive higher currents quickly to protect against short circuit conditions.

Inverse Time-Overcurrent Monitoring
NOTE
Function: Monitoring of overcurrents including inversely proportional time dependent tripping characteristic.
The selected trip curve defines the tripping time according to the measured current. The tripping time will be de-
creased according to a defined curve the higher the measured current is. According to IEC 255 three different
characteristics are available.

If t is greater than 650 s the system trips at 650 s. If t is lower than tmin the tripping time is tmin. The reaction time
for tmin depends on the time it takes to monitor the fault and the operating time of the relays. tmin is at least 20 ms.
Please consider during configuration:
for Istart: Istart > In and Istart > Ip

for Ip the smaller Ip is, the steeper is the slope of the tripping curve

Inverse Time-Overcurrent Monitoring with Voltage Restraint
NOTE
This monitoring function is an additional functionality for the inverse time overcurrent monitoring func-
tion. If the inverse time overcurrent monitoring is disabled (Parameter 140), time-overcurrent monitor-
ing with voltage restraint is disabled too.
Function: This function is recommended for a generator that must be monitored with droop excitation and pre-
cautions for short-circuit excitation (e.g. supplementary components) are not available. A short-circuit close to
the terminal may be caused due to the low voltage excitation cannot be maintained. As a result, the unit cannot
maintain power in order to initiate a voltage independent overcurrent delay. The voltage restraint functionality
reduces the overcurrent threshold of the inverse time overcurrent monitoring function proportionally with the
monitored voltage if this function is enabled. If the monitored voltage falls below the threshold defined by the
knee curve setting (Parameter 146), the overcurrent threshold remains at the value of the knee curve setting. The
reduction of the inverse time threshold occurs according to Figure 6-5.

Example:
Initial conditions:
Rated voltage Vn = 100 V
Configured value Ip = 2.0*5 A = 10 A (rated current In = 5 A)
Case 1 (monitored voltage V > 90% Vn):

As long as the monitored voltage exceeds 90% of the rated voltage, the configured value will not be adjusted.
-> Ia = Ip
Case 2 (monitored voltage V < 90% Vn , but actual voltage V > knee curve setting):
If the monitored voltage falls below 90% of the rated voltage, the configured value is adjusted proportionally
with the ratio of monitored and rated voltage.
-> Ia = (V/Vn) * Ip
Case 3 (monitored voltage V < knee curve setting):

If the monitored voltage falls below the percentage value of the rated voltage configured by the knee curve
setting (Parameter 146), the configured value is adjusted to the proportional value at the knee curve setting.
-> Ia = {(knee point setting in [%])/100} * Ip
If the knee curve setting is configured to 20% for example and the monitored voltage is lower than 20% of the
rated voltage, the adjusted value Ia falls not below 20% of the configured value Ip.

Earth Fault Monitoring

Calculation of the ground current:
The measuring of the ground current is based on the calculation of the vectoral sum of the three phase currents.
To ensure that the ground fault protection operates properly, the configured ground currents should be a mini-
mum of 10% of the current transformer’s rating.

Generator Overfrequency Monitoring

The monitoring of the frequency is carried out at two levels. The measurement of the frequency encompasses all
three phases if all voltages are greater than 15 % of the rated value (100 Vac or 400 Vac). This enables a very
rapid and precise frequency measurement. The frequency, however, is also correctly detected if voltage in only
one phase is present.
Function: "Generator frequency not within the permissible range"

A fault condition is recognized if the frequency of the generator is outside of the limit values configured for
overfrequency. The enabling of generator overfrequency monitoring is delayed via "Delayed monitoring" in or-
der to enable correct generator start-up. An alarm is issued if a fault condition is detected.

three phases if all voltages are greater than 15 % of the rated value (100 Vac or 400 Vac). This enables a very

Mains Frequency Monitoring
NOTE
Monitoring of the mains frequency is absolutely vital if a generator is to be operated in parallel with a public util-
ity. In the event of a mains failure (e. g. short interruption) the generator which is in mains parallel operation,
must be automatically disconnected from the mains.
Function: "Mains frequency not within the permissible range"

The mains frequency is outside of the limit values configured for overfrequency or underfrequency. The power
circuit breaker, which is configured to carry out decoupling from the mains, is immediately opened. The prere-
quisite of mains frequency monitoring is a mains parallel operation (both GCB and MCB are closed). An alarm is
issued if a fault condition is detected.

Mains dϕ/dt Phase/Vector Shift Monitoring
NOTE
A dϕ/dt phase/vector jump is a sudden change in the voltage vector angle, and may be caused by a major genera-
tor load change. In this case, the measuring circuit detects a change in the cycle duration once. This change in the
vector angle is compared with a calculated mean value from previous measurements. Monitoring encompasses all
three phases. The threshold value in degrees specifies the difference in time between the mean and the current
value in reference to a full cycle. Monitoring can be set in various manners. The dϕ/dt phase/vector shift moni-
toring may be used as an additional method for decoupling from the mains. The minimum voltage at which the
phase shift monitoring is enabled is 70 % of the rated PT secondary voltage input.
Function: "Voltage cycle duration not within the permissible range"

The voltage vector exceeds the configured limit value for the phase/vector shift. The breaker configured for
mains decoupling is opened. The requirement therefore is a mains parallel operation (both GCB and MCB are
closed). An alarm is issued if a fault condition is detected.

are too small.

curs only if the phase shift exceeds the configured threshold value in

Mains df/dt Rate Of Change Of Frequency Monitoring (ROCOF)
NOTE
Function: "Frequency change per time unit not within the permissible range"
The control unit determines a measuring value for the change in frequency per unit of time (Hz/s). In order to en-
able reliable differentiation between dϕ/dt phase/vector shift and df/dt, measurement is carried out over 4 cycles.
This results in a minimum tripping time of approx. 100 ms (at 50 Hz). The breaker configured as the mains de-
coupling breaker is opened. The requirement therefore is a mains parallel operation (both GCB and MCB are
closed). An alarm is issued if a fault condition is detected.

Commissioning
DANGER - HIGH VOLTAGE

When commissioning the control, please observe all safety rules that apply to the handling of live
equipment. Ensure that you know how to provide first aid in the event of an uncontrolled release of
energy and that you know where the first aid kit and the nearest telephone are. Never touch any live
components of the system or the back of the system:
LIFE THREATENING
CAUTION
Only a qualified technician may commission unit. The "EMERGENCY-STOP" function must be opera-
tional prior to commissioning of the system and must not depend on the unit for its operation.
CAUTION
Prior to commissioning ensure that all measuring devices are connected in correct phase sequence.
The connect command for the unit circuit breaker must be disconnected at the unit circuit breaker. The
rotating field must be monitored for proper rotation. Any absence of or incorrect connection of voltage
measuring devices or other signals may lead to malfunctions and damage the unit, the engine, and/or
components connected to the unit!
CAUTION
Please consider that the unit does not have an internal rotating field monitoring.
The unit assumes always a clockwise phase rotation direction of all three voltage systems, which are
measured.
A rotating field monitoring must be provided by the customer in order to avoid a CB closure with a
counter-clockwise rotating field.
Procedure
1. After checking to ensure that all measuring voltages have been connected to the correct phases, the power
supply (12/24 Vdc) may be connected.
2. By simultaneously pressing the two push buttons "Digit↑" and "Cursor→", the configuration mode is ac-
cessed. After entering the access code number, the unit may be configured according to the application
requirements (refer to the Configuration section).
3. After the control unit has been configured, the unit will display the measured system values. These values
should be confirmed with a calibrated measuring instrument.
4. The initial operation should be performed in the MANUAL operation mode (press the "MANUAL" push
button). All measured generator values must be verified. Any alarm messages should be investigated to
determine the cause.

5. Operating mode AUTOMATIC (press the push button "AUTO"): A synchronization can now be carried
out for the GCB by energizing the "Enable GCB" discrete input.
Check-out of the synchronization: Disconnect the connect pulse "Command: close GCB".Check the ge-
nerator and the generator busbar phase rotation. Check the connect command with a zero voltmeter (de-
termination of the phase angle) at the GCB. If several pulses have been output at the correct synchronous
point, switch the operating mode to MANUAL and reconnect the connect pulse "Command: close GCB".
6. If steps 1 through 5 have been carried out successfully, mains parallel operations may commence. It is
recommended to start with a constant power/base load operation (approx. 25 % of the generator rated
power). While this operation is being performed, the displayed measuring values must be verified. Test
the GCB shutdown for proper operation. Check the real power controller and, if necessary, the power fac-
tor controller. Enter various set point values and verify proper operation.
7. If mains parallel operation performs in a satisfactory manner, the synchronization of the MCB must be
checked:
A power failure in the system must be simulated or monitored by the control Unit.. During mains parallel
operation, change the operating mode from AUTOMATIC to MANUAL. Open the MCB ("MCB ON"
LED will turn off). Press the AUTOMATIC pushbutton to return the control unit back to the
AUTOMATIC operating mode.
Check the generator busbar and the mains field rotation. Check the connect command with a zero voltme-
ter (determination of the phase angle) at the MCB. If several pulses have been output at the correct syn-
chronous point, switch the operating mode to MANUAL and reconnect the connect pulse "Command:
close MCB".
NOTE
The automatic operation mode is influenced by the input signals “Automatic 1” and “Automatic 2”. En-
sure that the power circuit breaker reply messages are processed as the opposite of the condition (i.e.
when the power circuit breaker is closed the reply message for the inputs: CB is open (terminal 54) is
0 volts. The CB auxiliary contact should be configured as normally closed contacts (NC)! Refer to the
description of the alarm and control inputs starting on page 22 of this manual). It is vital that these rep-
lies be connected!
Electrical isolation between voltage supply and discrete control and feedback inputs: By the use of correspond-
ing external wiring, the common reference point of the discrete inputs can be electrically isolated from the power
supply voltage (0 V, terminal 2). This is necessary if the discrete inputs are not to be enabled with 24 Vdc and an
electrically isolation of the control voltage (e. g. 220 Vdc, 220 Vac) from the supply voltage must be ensured.

Note to parameter 1 and 2: The analog output is calculated according to the displayed real power without the
engineering unit of measure "kW" or "MW". The number of displayed digits is valid. Example: 20 mA corres-
ponds to "200".
20 mA will be output at the following display: 200 kW or 20.0 MW

10 mA will be output at the following display: 100 kW or 10.0 MW
The control unit automatically switches from "kW" to "MW" when the primary transformer real power of
3,000 kW is exceeded: Igen prim × Vgen prim × √ 3 ≥ 3,000 kW.
The description 0 % corresponds to the minimum input of 4 mA or 0 mA; the description 100 % corresponds to
the maximum input of 20 mA. The values can be entered with or without a leading sign (see parameter 1).
Definition of power factor scaling: According to the scaling of the analog output, the power factor can be out-
put within the range from capacitive values ranging from c0.00 to unity power factor = 1 to inductive values up
to i0.00.

CAN Bus Structure

≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡
CAN Bus
Transmission Telegram
The data in the following table can be processed using a Gateway GW 4 or a PLC and transmitted to other com-
munication busses. The MFR 3 sends its data via cyclic CAN messages with this.
The transfer rate of this communication is 125 kBaud.
The CAN ID, on which the MFR 3 is sending, is calculated as follows:
CAN ID = d‘800 + item number (or H‘320 + ID/generator number)
(The ID number is a parameter, which can be set at the MFR 3, which influences the CAN ID directly on which
the item sends its visualization messages.)
A visualization message, which is sent by an MFR 3, consists of 8 bytes and is assembled as follows:
Byte 0 Byte 1 Byte 2 Byte 3 Byte 4 Byte 5 Byte 6 Byte 7

H‘DD MUX number data word 1 data word 1 data word 2 data word 2 data word 3 data word 3
high byte high byte high byte high byte high byte high byte
In a visualization message the byte 0 is always used to show the hexadecimal value DD. This one defines the
message as a visualization message. Since the complete transmission telegram of the MFR 3 includes more than
three data words, byte 1 sends an additional MUX number starting with 0 in addition. Therefore it is theoretically
possible to send (256 × 3 = 768) words via the CAN ID. The whole telegram is built up as follows:
Line 1: MUX number 0, data word 1

.
.
Line (n): MUX number (n-1/3), data word 1
Line (n+1): MUX number (n-1/2), data word 2
Line (n+2): MUX number (n-1/1), data word 3
n depends on the total length of the item-specific telegram and cannot be larger than H’FF.
Current Direction Message

The current direction can be recognized via the prefix of the power. A positive transmitted value indicates ex-
ported power (power supplied to the mains, supply) and a negative transmitted value indicates imported power
(power supplied by the mains, consumption).

Power Set Point Value Message

The following power values may be pre-specified: constant/baseload power (C power), outgoing/export power (E
power) and incoming/import power (I power). The real power set point value is transmitted in binary form using
bits 0-13. The control argument must be transmitted in the basis of bits 14 and 15. In this case, the following cod-
ing applies:
Control argument Bit 15 Bit 14

C power 0 1
E power 0 0
I power 1 1
Example:
C power of 150 kW is to be compensated. The value transmitted is then:
01/00 0000 1001 0110 B 4096 H
E power of 300 kW is to be compensated. The value transmitted is then:

00/00 0001 0010 1100 B 012C H
I power of 600 kW is to be compensated. Negative power is transmitted. The value transmitted is then:
11/11 1101 1010 1000 B FDA8 H
CAN Bus Address Requirements

The IDs given in the following are reserved for the data exchange between MFRs. If third-party devices are con-
nected to the bus, third-party device addresses must not conflicts with these addresses.
