1. General information
Warnings, legal information and safety
Warnings and notes
Throughout this document, a number of warnings and notes with helpful user information will be presented.
To ensure that these are noticed, they will be highlighted as follows in order to separate them from the gener-
al text.
Warnings
Warnings indicate a potentially dangerous situation, which could result in death, personal in-
jury or damaged equipment, if certain guidelines are not followed.
Notes
Notes provide general information, which will be helpful for the reader to bear in mind.
Legal information and disclaimer
DEIF takes no responsibility for installation or operation of the generator set. If there is any doubt about how
to install or operate the engine/generator controlled by the Multi-line 2 unit, the company responsible for the
installation or the operation of the set must be contacted.
The Multi-line 2 unit is not to be opened by unauthorised personnel. If opened anyway, the war-
ranty will be lost.
Disclaimer
DEIF A/S reserves the right to change any of the contents of this document without prior notice.
The English version of this document always contains the most recent and up-to-date information about the
product. DEIF does not take responsibility for the accuracy of translations, and translations might not be
updated at the same time as the English document. If there is any discrepancy, the English version prevails.
Safety issues
Installing and operating the Multi-line 2 unit may imply work with dangerous currents and voltages. Therefore,
the installation should only be carried out by authorised personnel who understand the risks involved in work-
ing with live electrical equipment.
Be aware of the hazardous live currents and voltages. Do not touch any AC measurement in-
puts as this could lead to injury or death.
Electrostatic discharge awareness
Sufficient care must be taken to protect the terminal against static discharges during the installation. Once the
unit is installed and connected, these precautions are no longer necessary.
Factory settings
The Multi-line 2 unit is delivered from factory with certain factory settings. These are based on average values
and are not necessarily the correct settings for matching the engine/generator set in question. Precautions
must be taken to check the settings before running the engine/generator set.

About the commissioning guide
General purpose
This commissioning guide mainly includes general product and hardware information, mounting instruc-
tions, terminal strip descriptions, I/O lists and wiring descriptions.
The general purpose of this document is to give the user important information to be used in the installation of
the unit.
Please make sure to read this document before starting to work with the Multi-line 2 unit and
the inverter to be controlled. Failure to do this could result in human injury or damage to the
equipment.
Intended users
This commissioning guide is mainly intended for the person responsible for the design and installation.
In most cases, this would be a panel builder designer. Naturally, other users might also find useful information
in the document.
Contents and overall structure
This document is divided into chapters, and in order to make the structure simple and easy to use, each
chapter will begin from the top of a new page.

2. Introduction
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.

3. Wiring 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.
Scaling
Select the scaling to the proper setting. There are four to choose between but only two will normally be used.
Note that you must do this before the rest of the nominal values are set up in order to have the easiest setup
sequence.
If this selection is made from the display unit, then you must press the key JUMP (keyJUMP, then keyUP or
keyDOWN until you reach menu 9030). The master password is still needed.

The master password must be used
Typical choice
100-25000 V AC
Typical choice
The difference between 10-2500 V AC and 100-25000 V AC is the way the power is presented. For instance
6 kW is presented as 6.0 in the lower scale (10-2500 V AC) and 6 kW in the second level scale (100-25000 V
AC). So for low power installations, it is recommended to use 10 -2500 V AC.

4-20mAvalues
It is strictly necessary to adjust the 4-20 mA values of the connected transducer. This is done like the
following example for a 4-20 mA mains transducer with the configuration of:
Power [kW]
Current out [mA]
Power import from grid
700 kW
20 mA
Power export to grid
-700 kW
4 mA
Press the dotted line in front of the value to modify it.
Testing procedure of the transducer signals
It is essential to test the transducer signals into the DEIF controller. Please follow these steps to verify the
good functionality. All 4-20 mA inputs may be used. In the example, the mains power transducer is used
(multi-configurable input 102).

Note that the Modbus line should be properly terminated. Long lines typically with 120 Ohm in each. For short
lines, it is often seen that the termination can be removed.
Note that the Modbus ID in the inverter can be set to the same as in the ASC. The baud rate has to be the
same in the ASC and the inverter.
Modbus protocol and write type
The Modbus transmit specifics is set in menu 7560:
• 7561, select the inverter type.
• 7562, select broadcast or unicast
o Broadcast at multiple string inverters
o Unicast at single string inverters or central inverters
• 7563, transmit rate, set it to 1-2 seconds. Don’t set it below 1 second unless advised to.
• 7564, transmit telegram, use 0x06h prior to 0x10h. Switch to 0x10h if 0x06h is not responding
Verification of the communication
Notice that is is often convenient to start with the communication adjusted to “UNICAST” even though
broadcast is eventually going to be used.

This means that the inverter number 1 will be tested and should respond to the ASC set points. By switching
the menu 7511 to ID11 and ID12 (in this example), the other two inverters can be tested.
This means that the communication can be verified and eventually switched to “broadcast” (where all three
inverters will respond).
Alarms for unicast communication
Three alarms can be used when using the unicast approach (due to the continuous handshake with the
inverter communications). In a communication topology where the broadcast method is used, the alarms can
be switched off due to one-sided communication (ASCinverter).
• 7570, PV comm error
• 7580, PV Warning
• 7590, PV Shutdown
• 7520, Ext comm error
Enable the alarms and configure the appropriate actions.

ADFweb setup
In order to install the ADFweb HD67510 device in the application where it is required, for example using SMA
STP25000 TL, follow these steps:
1. Install the PC utility from www.adfweb.com and find the utility on the free download page:
2. Make a configuration with the relevant settings. This is the programme layout:
3. When setting up the communication
a. use the routing table
b. set up the IP address you intend the HD67510 to have
c. set up the Modbus slave details (communication to DEIF ASC)
d. don’t disconnect the socket
e. enable broadcast with ID 0

DEIF A/S
Page 20 of 26
ASC commissioning guide 4189341077 UK
4. Set up the translate table
a. Set up slave ID 0 for broadcast using UDP Broadcast and route it to the IP of the inverter.
(Note that the desired slave ID address of the inverter has to be checked in the user manual of
the inverter – 126 is for example for SMA STP25000 TL).
b. Repeat steps for the number of IP addresses you have in your system (the example below
shows a system with two (2) inverters).
c. For remote monitoring (ASC reads from inverters), set up the translate table with your
connected inverters, for example in this case, there are two inverters where the ASC reads from
ID10 and ID11.
d. All connected inverters must be included in the table for remote monitoring.
