connected, these precautions are no longer necessary.
1.5 Factory settings
The Multi-line 2 unit is delivered from the factory with default settings. These are not necessarily correct for the engine/generator set.
Check all the settings before running the engine/generator set.
1.6 General purpose
The commissioning guidelines provide information for a thorough, safe and effective commissioning of controller(s), within the
system.
COMMISSIONING GUIDELINES 4189341077D EN Page 4 of 58

DANGER!
Commissioning is the most risky period of operation. Commissioning errors can lead to personal injury or death, or
equipment damage. These guidelines cannot anticipate or include every possible commissioning problem. Commissioning
must therefore be done thoughtfully, systematically and carefully by qualified and experienced personnel.
INFO
DEIF does not accept any responsibility for wiring errors.
INFO
The controllers interface to third party equipment. DEIF does not accept any responsibility for the operation of third party
equipment.
INFO
The commissioning guidelines provide information about checking third-party equipment, for example, the switchboard
wiring. This information is provided to help ensure a successful commissioning of the entire system. However, DEIF does
not accept any responsibility for the operation of third party equipment.

2. Overview
The commissioning guide is for the PV controller in the ASC series.
There are a few steps to follow when the ASC is configured. During the planning of the commissioning job, it can be useful to check
whether the ASC is installed in the DEIF cabinet or in a customer-designed cabinet.
This document can be used in both cases.
The document contains the AGC terminal numbers even if installed in a switchboard. Please refer to the switchboard diagrams to
see the actual terminal block and terminal number. If in doubt, ask the switchboard designer.
ASC-4 SW version 4.14 or later
2.1 Commissioning overview
Before commissioning starts, a work breakdown structure must be created. The work breakdown structure includes the necessary
planning from the start to the end of the commissioning and comprises of mechanical work, electrical DC work, electrical AC work
and so on.
This guide only focusses on the work breakdown structure concerning the ASC configuration.

2.2 Before commissioning starts
Before commissioning the ASC-system the commissioning engineer must have an overview of the IP and ID plan, and an overview
of the power source data.
2.2.1 IP and ID plan
It is necessary to know all IDs and IP addresses of the plant. Below is an example. Please create a suitable IP plan in Excel so this
is ready before commissioning.
These parameters are needed for the commissioning:
• Device
• IP address
• Modbus ID, monitoring
• Modbus ID, control
• Baud rate
Table 2.1 Example of selected communication data for commissioning

3. Configuration of digital power meter
With the collected information, it is possible to configure the digital power meters. If transducers are used instead of digital power
meters, they must be configured instead.
Depending on the type of power meter, the configuration menu is accessed from the front, and configuration is done from the front.
The programming of transducers and power meters are not done from the DEIF PC Utility SW.
On DEIF power meters, for instance MIB 7000C, the configuration menu is typically accessed by pressing “H”+ “VA” simultaneously.
Please refer to the programming manual of your specific meter.
COMMISSIONING GUIDELINES 4189341077D EN Page 9 of 58

4. Single line diagram
The DEIF controller contains the single line diagram. In DEIF terms, this is represented with the “Application configuration”.
There are two types of application configurations:
• Stand-alone configuration
• Power management configuration
A stand-alone configuration contains only one DEIF ASC controller in the plant configuration.
A power management configuration contains multiple ML-2 controllers (for example, ASC-4 Solar and AGC-4 Genset) in various
combinations.
4.1 Stand-alone application configuration
The application can be adjusted by using the PC utility SW. In the tab on the left hand side, the “application configuration” can be
selected. Then the configuration is done by selecting the plant specifics.
COMMISSIONING GUIDELINES 4189341077D EN Page 10 of 58

This example shows the plant with one ASC in a configuration with grid. The number of generators in the application cannot be
configured on this screen unless it is a power management application.
COMMISSIONING GUIDELINES 4189341077D EN Page 11 of 58

The generators are configured in the “Input settings” or in “M-Logic”, they are not included in the application configuration. A
maximum of 16 generators can be configured.
Example of stand-alone configuration
This is an example of a stand-alone application where a solar park supplies the load in combination with a mains
connection. Two generators are included on an emergency busbar.
The generators are not visible in the “application configuration”, but they are present in the plant.
More information
See Generator configuration in this document for more information about configuring generators.
More information
See PV configuration in this document for more information about configuring PV breakers.
4.2 Power management application configuration
The power management provides a lot of combinations. The below screenshot shows only an example.
Special for the power management application is that there is one controller per power source. In the example below, there are five
DEIF Multi-line 2 controllers (AGCs and ASCs).
COMMISSIONING GUIDELINES 4189341077D EN Page 12 of 58

To connect the photovoltaic and battery sources to the Mains load point:
1. The photovoltaic or battery source must be in Area configuration – Top.
2. Select the Area with the photovoltaic or battery source.
3. Select Mains load point under Area configuration – Top > Connection.
4. Write your changes to the controller.
The power management configuration is described in Option G4 G5 and G8 Power management AGC-4.
More information
See Breaker connections for more information about the wiring and configuration for PV and ESS breakers.
COMMISSIONING GUIDELINES 4189341077D EN Page 13 of 58

4.2.1 Power management CAN bus
These menus are used if the ASC is part of an integrated system (power management system). The menus are not used if the ASC
is the only controller in a stand-alone system.
Terminal Function Associated menus
A1 Power management communication CAN H 7841, CANport select
7870, actions at CAN failure
A3 Power management communication CAN L
Notice that the CAN bus line has to be terminated in each end with a 120 Ω resistor. The recommended CAN bus cable is a Belden
3105A or Lapp CAN bus cable or an equivalent cable.
COMMISSIONING GUIDELINES 4189341077D EN Page 14 of 58

5. Terminal overview
Some basic wiring is needed before engaging the ASC in the system. These terminals must be wired in most cases.
This terminal overview of the ASC is used in the case:
This terminal overview of the ASC contains the hardware options M12-E2-H2-M14.6-M15.8. Other combinations of the option
configuration will of course have different terminal overviews. In the installation manual, the precise I/O list of the separate options is
shown.
COMMISSIONING GUIDELINES 4189341077D EN Page 15 of 58

6. AC configuration: Scaling
Select the scaling to the proper setting.
Note that you must do this before the rest of the nominal values are set up.
If this selection is made from the display unit, you must press the key JUMP (keyJUMP, then keyUP or keyDOWN until you reach
menu 9030). The master password is still needed.
Parameter Range Default Comment
9030
10 V - 2500 V
100 V - 25000 V
10 kV - 160 kV
1 kV - 75 kV
100 - 25000 V
This parameter affects how the AC measurement values are displayed on the
controller.
It is recommended to use a scale range that matches your installation.
The difference between the scale ranges is the way the power is displayed on the controller. For example, 6 kW is displayed as 6.0
kW in the 10 - 2500 V scale and 6 kW in the 100 - 25000 V scale. For low power installations, it is recommended to use 10 -2500 V
AC.
COMMISSIONING GUIDELINES 4189341077D EN Page 16 of 58

7. Power supply alarms
These alarms will activate if the power supply fails. The menus 4980/4990 are only present if the option G5/M4 is installed.
Terminal Function Associated menus
