Migration DSE73x0MKII & DSE61x0MKII to AMF Compact_En_V1

Created by Mikaël MAUNIER, Modified on Mon, 30 Oct 2023 at 05:06 PM by Laure GILLET

The CRE Technology team would like to thank you for trusting our expertise and investing in a product developed in France.

We have created this application note to help you during the migration of your DSE73x0MKII & DSE61x0MKII modules to AMF Compact.

The application note is based on the default configuration of the controllers in order to prevent installation mistakes, please make sure the wiring corresponds to your installation before commissioning.

Here you will find all the technical documentation concerning the AMF Compact

TYPICAL WIRING DIAGRAM – AMF COMPACT

You can download the attached file about the Typical wiring diagram (PDF format)

OPERATIONAL MODES – AMF COMPACT

The AMF COMPACT can be configured and controlled with the front panel, which is separated into two parts:

1. The top end and middle part: are dedicated to the navigation, monitoring, and measurement display.

2. The bottom end part: is dedicated to the 3 functioning modes selection:

AUTO - This mode makes the AMF COMPACT operate the installation in a fully automatic mode according to its settings and configuration, external action to start: “remote start digital input”, a “mains failure or TCP ModBus.
TEST - This mode simulates the start of the Auto mode with the requested sequences, according to its settings and configuration (ex: if the controller is configured in normal change over mode and test on load, then the transfer of load will be done after the engine start). To return to the normal state, simply press AUTO again.
MANU - This mode allows you to manage your installation with the front panel buttons manually while maintaining the automatic management of auxiliary and protections, ex: if you press the START button the engine will start and you will manage the auxiliaries (preheating/starter...), if you press I/O breaker button the load will be transferred according to its settings, the configuration in MANUAL mode state, the protections remain active, but all external start orders and automatic sequences are inhibited.

MENUS – AMF COMPACT

Once the AMF COMPACT is switched on, you can access the menu on 3 different levels (to access the password page, press ESC or ENTER):

Level 0: No password required, just press «ENTER» to access the display,
Level 1: Just press «ENTER» to go to the Display menu. Press ≪↓≫ to select «configuration or «system» of the AMF COMPACT. Press «ENTER» to switch to password mode.

Press ≪↑≫ to change the character; press ≪→≫ to move to the next character. The level 1 password is «1».

NOTE: The level 1 password gives you access to the minimum settings recommended to start your commissioning on your power plant, this level “1” is equivalent to "standard mode" on the i4Gen Suite software.

Level 2: Just press «ENTER» to go to the Display menu. Press ≪↓≫ to select «configuration or «system» of the AMF COMPACT. Press «ENTER» to switch to password mode.

Press «↑» to change the character; press «→» to move to the next character. The level 2 password is «1234».

NOTE: The level 2 password gives you access to all settings to commission your power plant. This level “2” is equivalent to “advanced mode” on the i4Gen Suite software.

For complex settings, not available through the front panel of the module, use i4Gen Suite software (Analogue inputs, Easyflex, Scheduler, etc...).

Notes:

** All I/O are negative (-) to active on AMF

* EQUIPOTENTIALITIES: It is important to respect the following equipotential schematic with EARTH adequate wiring.

Potential differences between Neutral, Ground, Common CT, Battery negative, and 0VDC COMPACT module could create an undesired current going through the COMPACT module, and the following problems can occur:

•Wrong voltage measurement & display values

• Wrong current measurement and display values

• Wrong analog inputs measurement and display values

• Damage of the controller in some situations

All earth points must be correctly connected and measurement of 0VDC has to be observed between them

CONFIGURATION SOFTWARE:

i4Gen Suite for AMF Compact, downloadable free software from

PC CONNECTION WITH I4GEN SUITE SOFTWARE

Power the controller. Connect the Ethernet port (RJ45-LAN) of your computer to the Ethernet port of your controller. To be able to establish communication between the i4Gen Suite software and the controller, the network addresses of the devices must be configured:

1. For PC network configuration, please refer to your Windows network settings.

2. The network configuration of the controller is to be done via the front panel of the controller or with the i4Gen Suite software.

3. The network configuration of the devices must be compatible: the default IP address on CRE TECHNOLOGY controllers is: 192.168.11.1

INSTALLATION OF THE I4GEN SUITE SOFTWARE

Download the latest version of the software on our website

ONCE CONNECTED, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO NAVIGATE THROUGH THE FOLLOWING MENUS

APPLICATION SETTINGS (PC software settings)

CONTROLLER STATIC SETTINGS (parameters settings with engine stopped)

NOTE

Before the commissioning or the operation of your equipment, please read carefully the user’s manual and other related documentation.

Engines, turbines, or any other type of Generator must be equipped with protections (overspeed, temperature, pressure… depending on your installation). We also offer personalized and specific training on our product range and software, as well as additional services such as: onsite support, application engineering, or specific support.

Carefully apply the safety instructions. Any misuse of your equipment can lead to human or machine damages.

COMMISSIONING

In MANU mode: Start/Stop the engine, and check protections (oil pressure, water temp, emergency stop, etc …). Check that the configuration and wiring are done for an AMF application (Gen. breaker in and Mains breaker in). Check the phase direction and the phase concordance. Check the generator and mains voltage terminals assignment. Open and close the generator breaker and the mains breaker. Apply some load on the generator side and check the power measurement in kW per phase, it should be positive. Take some load on the mains side and check the power measurement in kW per phase, it should be positive. Press the START button to check the start sequences (cranking attempt, start motor disengagement, and other auxiliaries...). Press the I/O button to check the transfer of load.
In TEST mode - Controller configured in AMF mode and in test on load. With this mode we simulate a complete sequence as expected in AUTO mode, the load is automatically transferred to the generator after the start sequences. To stop the TEST mode sequence, press the AUTO mode button. After the engine running, the AUTO mode could be selected to take the load by the activation of an auxiliary input that has been configured to remote start on load.
