1. About the Operator's manual
1.1 Intended users of the Operator's manual
DANGER!
Read this manual before you operate the system. Failure to do this may result in personal injury and damage to the
equipment.
The Operator's manual is primarily intended for the operator that performs daily operations with the controller. The manual includes
an overview of the LEDs, buttons and screens, as well as general operator tasks, alarms, and logs.
You can find other technical documentation for PPU 300 on deif.com.
1.2 Software versions
The information in this document corresponds to the following software versions.

You can read more about service and support options on www.deif.com.
1.5 Warnings and safety
Safety during installation and operation
When you install and operate the equipment, you may have to work with dangerous currents and voltages. The installation must
only be carried out by authorised personnel who understand the risks involved in working with electrical equipment.
DANGER!
Hazardous live currents and voltages. Do not touch any terminals, especially the AC measurement inputs and the relay
terminals, as this could lead to injury or death.
Remote-controlled starts
The gensets can be started by remote signals (for example, by sending a Modbus signal, or using PICUS). To avoid personal injury,
the genset design, the layout, and maintenance procedures must take this into account.
Switchboard control
Under Switchboard control, you control and operate the equipment from the switchboard. When Switchboard control is activated:
• The controller trips the breaker and/or shuts down the engine, if an alarm situation arises that requires a trip and/or shutdown.
• The controller does not respond to a blackout.
• The controller does not provide any power management.
• The controller does not accept operator commands.
• The controller cannot and does not prevent any manual operator actions.
The switchboard design must therefore ensure that the system is sufficiently protected when the controller is under Switchboard
control.
DANGER!
Do not use switchboard or manual control to override the alarm action of an active alarm.
An alarm may be active because it is latched, or because the alarm condition is still present. If the alarm action is manually
overridden, a latched alarm does not provide any protection.

Warranty
The rack may only be opened to remove, replace, and/or add a hardware module or the internal battery on PCM3.1. The procedure
in the Installation instructions must be followed. If the rack is opened for any other reason, and/or the procedure is not followed,
then the warranty is void.
If the display unit is opened, then the warranty is void.

2. Getting started
2.1 About controller operation
The PPU 300 controllers make sure that the system is protected for typical maritime applications.
Local or Remote mode
LOCAL mode uses command start sequences from the display push-buttons. Remote commands for sequences are ignored.
REMOTE mode uses command start sequences from digital input, PICUS, Modbus, and/orCustomLogic or CODESYS. Display
push-buttons for sequences are ignored.
Switchboard control
Each controller can be put under switchboard control. Then you manually control the genset speed and opens and closes the
breaker. Switchboard control is useful for troubleshooting, or if you need to override the control system.
Under switchboard control, all the controller functions are disabled, but he controller protections are still active. The controller
monitors the operation, and if an alarm condition arises, the controller activates the alarm action.
Buttons and LEDs
You can use the display unit buttons to operate the system, for example to change modes, select actions to start pre-programmed
sequences, and to silence alarms. The buttons to start or stop the genset, or close or open the breakers, are only active in LOCAL
mode.
You see the status of each part of the system at the display unit LEDs.
Display screen
From the display screen you can:
• Monitor system operation.
• Use the soft key buttons and the display screen to log on to the controller to see the alarm lists and logs, and to acknowledge
and unlatch alarms.
• See and/or change the controller configuration (some features may not be accessible due to user level permissions).
PICUS
PICUS (Power In Control Utility Software) is the PC programming and monitoring tool, available from DEIF free of charge. You
connect a computer with PICUS to the controller (direct connection), and are now able to configure, supervise, send commands and
more..

The GENSET controller is normally in LOCAL mode.
The controller can run in REMOTE or LOCAL mode, and under switchboard control.
3.1.2 Change modes
Mode Procedure
REMOTE

1. Operator action: Press to select REMOTE mode.

Switchboard
control
To change to switchboard control, the controller can be in either REMOTE or LOCAL mode:
1. Operator action: Change the selector on the switchboard to switchboard control.
• System response: The controller changes to switchboard control. If the engine was running, it continues to
run, if the breaker was closed, it remains closed. The controller will trip the breaker and/or stop the engine
if the operating conditions activate an alarm that trips the breaker and/or stops the genset.
The switchboard equipment is third-party equipment. The switchboard control selector labels may therefore be different from the
names used above.

PLC.
LOCAL

Switchboard
control
When the controller is under switchboard control, the display buttons are disabled. The genset can only be
started locally and/or from the switchboard.
The switchboard equipment is third-party equipment. The switchboard might not include a button to start the genset.
