1. Introduction
1.1 About the Designer's handbook
1.1.1 General purpose
This is the designer's handbook for DEIF’s Protection and Power Management controller, PPM 300. The designer's handbook
provides information required to design a system with PPM 300 controllers, and for configuring the controllers.
DANGER!
Read this manual before designing the system. Failure to do this could result in human injury or damage to the equipment.
1.1.2 Intended users of the Designer's handbook
The Designer's handbook is primarily for the person who designs the control system, electrical system, and communication system
where the controllers are installed. This includes drawing the system drawings, setting the controller parameters, and selecting and
setting up the protections and functions.
The Designer's handbook can also be used during commissioning to check the design drawings and the controller parameters.
Operators may find the Designer's handbook useful for understanding the system and for troubleshooting.
1.1.3 Symbols and conventions in the Designer's handbook
Controller symbols
These symbols show the relevant controller types for a description.
Controller type Applies to
GENSET
EMERGENCY genset
SHAFT generator
SHORE connection
BUS TIE breaker
Inputs and outputs
Most of the controller inputs and outputs are configurable. You can assign functions to inputs or outputs by using either the display
unit or PICUS. To assign a function, under Configure > Input/output, select a hardware module, then select a set of terminals to
configure.
Parameters
You can select and change the parameters by using either the display unit or PICUS, under Configure > Parameters.
DESIGNER'S HANDBOOK 4189340911K UK Page 18 of 521

Functions
As far as possible, the Designer's handbook descriptions are based on functions. Each function description includes the relevant
input and output functions, and parameters.
Multi-function parameters and I/Os
Some parameters and inputs/outputs can be used by more than one function. Search the whole Designer's handbook to see the
impact of a change.
Parameter used by more than one function example
For a GENSET controller, Configure > Parameters > Generator > Nominal settings > Nominal settings 1 > Voltage
(V) is the genset Nominal voltage for the first set of nominal settings. The Nominal voltage is the basis for all the voltage
alarms.
General names
Square brackets [ ] are used to create general names. General names are used to avoid repeating the same function description.
Use of square brackets examples
[Source] represents the Generator for a GENSET controller.
[Hardware module] represents the relevant controller hardware module.
[Breaker] represents the Generator breaker for a GENSET controller.
More information
See System principles, Overall principles, General names for controller types for more information.
Numbered possibilities
The hash symbol # is used when there are several numbered possibilities, to avoid repeating the same function description for each
numbered possibility.
Use of hash # example
Controller ID #: # represents 1 to 64. That is, the system can have up to 32 controllers, each with their own unique
Controller ID between 1 and 64.
Number format
The number format uses the following symbols.
Description Symbol Symbol name Example
Decimal separator . dot 10.1 s = 10 seconds 100 milliseconds
Thousands separator , comma 20,000 kW = 20 MW
1.1.4 Recommended design process
DEIF recommends the following design process:
1. Sketch the single-line diagram for the system. From the sketch, identify how many controllers are needed to control the system's
equipment and breakers:
• For each diesel generator, you need a GENSET controller to control the diesel generator and its breaker.
DESIGNER'S HANDBOOK 4189340911K UK Page 19 of 521

• For the emergency genset, you need an EMERGENCY genset controller. The controller controls the emergency diesel
generator, the generator breaker, and also the tie breaker.
• For each shaft generator, you need a SHAFT generator controller to control the shaft generator breaker.
• For each shore connection, you need a SHORE connection controller to control the shore connection breaker.
• For each bus tie breaker, you need a BUS TIE breaker controller to control the bus tie breaker.
2. Make a list of the functions required for each controller.
• For each function, list the required controller inputs and outputs.
3. Order the controllers from DEIF.
• Make sure that the controllers (and optional extension racks) have terminals available for all the required inputs and outputs.
4. Set up all the controllers (and extension racks) with power supplies and Ethernet communication.
• This can be done in an office environment.
• Use a display unit or PICUS, under Tools > Communication, to assign a Controller ID to each controller.
• For the extension racks, use PICUS Configure > Fieldbus configuration to confirm the hardware modules.
5. Using PICUS, do the following:
a. Log on to all the controllers in the system. Under Configure > Single-line, draw the system single-line diagram, and
broadcast it to all the controllers.
• If needed you can override the controller ready status when broadcasting.
b. For each controller, under Tools > Advanced > Users, create or edit the user profiles required for use.
c. For each controller, under Configure > Input/output, assign the required input or output function(s) to each set of terminals.
d. For each controller, under Configure > Parameters, configure the parameters.
e. Optional: For each controller, under Configure > CustomLogic, create additional functions if required.
f. Under Configure > Emulation, use emulation to test the system operation.
• Emulation is a controller test environment that does not require live AC power.
g. For each controller, under Tools > Report, print the configuration.
h. For each controller, under Tools > Backup, back up the configuration.
6. Finalise the system and switchboard drawings.
7. Clearly label, then carefully pack up the controllers (and extension racks). Send the controllers (and extension racks) along with
the system and switchboard drawings for installation.
8. Arrange a factory acceptance test (FAT) with the relevant authorities.
