 Product Rationalization

– Approximately 77% of generator sets sold in this product range

were sold with a paralleling control.
– Paralleling control were offered as an option before with 3100
control
• With new PowerCommand 3.3, paralleling is an integral
function to the control and offered as standard feature
• Reduced complexity of the product and supply chain
• Less inventory for replacement parts with product
standardization
• New Control comparable or better than competitor product
offerings

 Summary

3.x control provides great advantages in terms of integrated
functionalities (AVR, ECM etc) which increases genset performance
and reliability

AmpSentry capability is unique and unmatched

Paralleling feature set is comparable to the best in market

PCCNet enables plug ‘n’ play of optional modules for expandability to
meet customer needs

We are starting to see more control manufacturers having the same
integrated paralleling features that we have on our high-end
(PowerCommand 3.3) products. Some manufacturers have more
advanced communications (Ethernet/TCPIP) and color HMI option.

Advantage PowerCommand 3.3 has over Deif’s AGC 3

Integrated AVR/Governor & AmpSentry
– Offers system integration with reduced component count
– Aids site mobility due to reduced no. of spare parts required
– Built-in over-current protection (AmpSentry) could further reduce system
installation cost, commissioning time and total cost of ownership
Note: Above could be a significant advantage in rental applications

- Single service tool works for genset control and CPG ECM
- Ease of Integration with other Cummins switchgear systems & transfer switches
using PCCnet (for communication) & service tool (for commissioning &
configurability)

Key Deif Features not offered by PowerCommand 3.3

Built-in mini-PLC functionality

- Provides some flexibility of system configuration & customization without the need
for additional hardware
- User interface supports some part of this capability (e.g. selector switch for mode
selection)

Load dependent start/stop
- Currently most controls offer this. See next slide for more details

51 6/4/2012
 Load dependant start/stop
(New feature under development)

Control feature that allows shutdown and starting of gensets based on the
load level

Improves fuel efficiency by not running multiple gensets when not needed

Increases service intervals and overall life of the gensets

There is no Master Control needed (such as a DMC)
– referred to as “Masterless Load Demand”

Sophisticated features such as multi-step load add/shed, breaker management, PLC
functionality are not available without DMC

Applications:
– Rental (peak load at certain times of the day)
• Small power plants (gensets are the main source of power: example labor
camps in Middle East)
– Marine applications (fishing barges)
– Commercial applications with significant load variation
