2 Function
2.1 Considerations To Be Taken:
2.1.1 Different Options
According to a control unit's configuration, different parameters may be displayed and not all parameters will be avail-
able:
•Various inputs and outputs will be present or deleted, corresponding to the control configuration (depending on your
order). Please refer to the wiring diagram and the notes regarding the packages contained in these. Refer to the data
plate to see if the corresponding function is contained in the control. If the data plate has been removed, the configura-
tion screens may be called up in succession and the functions may be determined with the assistance of this manual.
•Specific display screens correspond to specific types of interfaces.
2.1.2 Systems With One Power Circuit Breaker
If a control with a 2-power-circuit-breaker logic [PCM1-M] or a 1-power-circuit-breaker logic [[PCM1-G] is installed for use
with one power circuit breaker, the following shall apply:
•If the control unit application is to be operated in an isolated operation or an isolated parallel operation (the MCB is
opened), the following signals must be applied:
- "Reply: MCB is open" / "Isolated operation" (terminal 54): HIGH signal (logical "1") and
- "Enable MCB" (terminal 53): LOW signal (logical "0").
- Condition: The Parameter 150 "Emergency power" must be set to "OFF".
•If the control unit application is to be operated in a mains parallel operation (the MCB always is closed if the genera-
tor operates in mains parallel), the following signals have to be applied:
- "Reply: MCB is open" / "Isolated operation" (term. 54): LOW-Signal (log. "0") and
- "Enable MCB" (terminal 53): HIGH signal (logical "1").
•If the control unit application is to be operated in isolated(parallel) as well as in mains parallel operation (the MCB can
be opened or closed), the following signals have to be applied:
- Reply, that the GCB is closed (terminal 4) and
- Reply, that the MCB is closed (terminal 54) and
- "Enable MCB" (terminal 53)
Case A - The MCB must remain closed (except at an emergency power operation): The "Enable MCB" (terminal 53)
always has to be logical "1".
Case B - The MCB can be opened (also outside an emergency power operation): The "Enable MCB" (terminal 53)
must be set logical "1" if a mains parallel operation has to be established (a synchronization of the MCB has to be
performed). During the synchronization of the MCB (PCM1-G: this function is performed externally from the controller)
the generator frequency is controlled with a slightly higher value than the mains frequency (df max/2). Additionally a
message is displayed on the controller. The "Enable MCB" (terminal 53) has to be logically "0", if the system has to be
operated in isolated operation (control of set point frequency and set point voltage).
2.1.3 Systems With Asynchronous/Induction Generators (Special Hardware !!)
In the case of systems with asynchronous/induction generators, the following must be noted:
•Systems with asynchronous/induction generators are 1-power-circuit-breaker systems [PCM1-G].
•Connect the remnant voltage to terminals 23/24. Terminals 23/24 are voltage sensitive and can detect voltages
from 0.5-480 volts. These terminals are utilized to determine the frequency (rotary speed) of the remnant voltage with
small amplitudes. If the GCB is not closed, only the remanence voltage, which is less than 10 volts, is measured in-
stead of the generator voltage. The generator voltage and frequency is monitored only once the GCB is closed. If the
control is in mains parallel operation, the inputs from 23/24 are no longer taken into account.

2.2 Signals
2.2.1 Discrete Inputs
NOTE
All emergency power (Parameter 150 "Emergency power" has to be configured to ON) or Critical (Sprinkler) mode
operations (terminal 6 must be configured accordingly; Parameter 223) will be carried out in the TEST and AUTO-
MATIC operation modes regardless of the discrete inputs "Automatic 1" and "Automatic 2". If terminals 3 and 5 are
enabled simultaneously, priority is given to terminal 3.
Automatic 1 (Start/Stop the engine)
Terminals 3/7
Selection of the operation mode AUTOMATIC with "real power set point value 1" as well as starting/stopping
of the engine.
Set ...............If the control is in AUTOMATIC mode (selected using the mode selection switch on the front
panel) the "real power set point value 1" (Parameter 41) is controlled in mains parallel mode.
In the case of baseload (F), the engine is started immediately and mains parallel operation is
performed following the synchronization of the generator power circuit breaker GCB. In the
case of incoming/import (I) or outgoing/export power (E), starting is performed by automatic
start/stop operation. If no automatic start/stop operation is enabled (Parameter 101), the en-
gine is started immediately. The set point value can be modified via both the configuration
mode and via the "up/down" push-buttons in AUTOMATIC mode.
Reset..............If the engine does not run either in Critical (Sprinkler) mode or emergency power mode, the
GCB is opened, a cool down is performed and the engine is stopped.
Automatic 2 (Start/Stop the engine)
Terminals 5/7
Selection of the operation mode AUTOMATIC with "real power set point value 2" as well as starting/stopping
of the engine.
Set................. If the control is in AUTOMATIC mode (selected using the mode selection switch on the front
panel) the "real power set point value 2" (Parameter 42) is controlled in mains parallel mode.
In the case of baseload (C), the engine is started immediately and mains parallel operation is
performed following the synchronization of the generator power circuit breaker GCB. In the
case of incoming/import (I) or outgoing/export power (E), starting is performed by automatic
start/stop operation. If no automatic start/stop operation is enabled (Parameter 102), the en-
gine is started immediately. The set point value can be modified via both the configuration
mode and via the "up/down" push-buttons in AUTOMATIC mode.
Reset..............If the engine does not run either in Critical (Sprinkler) mode or emergency power mode, the
GCB is opened, a cool down is performed and the engine is stopped.
If a set point value is specified externally (e. g. via an 0/4..20 mA analog input or a bi-directional interface),
the external set point value is adjusted with the discrete input (see Table 3-3: Set point value table).
Multifunction
Terminals 6/7
Discrete input terminal 6 may reveal different functions. Please note that, when used as a Critical (Sprinkler)
mode input, the discrete input reveals negative functional logic. The selection of the logic is made using Para-
meter 223.
Reply: GCB is open
Terminals 4/7
With this input (logical "1") the control is signaled that the GCB is open (the "GCB ON" LED is off).
[PCM1-M] Reply: MCB is open
Terminals 54/7
With this input (logical "1") the control is signaled that the MCB is open (the LED "MCB ON" is off).

HB_PCM1x_Packages_Configuration_09.04_GB 9
[PCM1-G] Isolated operating / reply external breaker
Terminals 54/7
With this input (logical "1") the control is signaled that the genset is operated in isolated operation (the LED
"Mains parallel" is off). This discrete input is used to decide whether, after closing the GCB, frequency control
(terminal 54 = logical "1") or real power control (terminal 54 = logical "0") is to be carried out.
Enable MCB
Terminals 53/7
Set .................A mains parallel operation is enabled and the MCB (PCM1-G: this function is performed ex-
ternally from the controller) is operated.
Reset ..............The MCB is not operated. Depending on the reply of the MCB, an isolated operation or a
main parallel operation is performed.
Discrete inputs
Terminals 34-36/33 and 61-73/60
Freely programmable alarm inputs with message text, alarm class, time delay, delayed engine monitoring and
NO/NC function.

10 HB_PCM1x_Packages_Configuration_09.04_GB
2.2.2 Control Outputs
Readiness for operation
Terminals 18/19
Setting this relay signals the readiness for operation of the control. If this relay is disabled, the proper function
of the control can no longer be guaranteed. Appropriate actions must be initiated once this relay has been
disabled (e.g. open GCB, shut-down engine).
Preheating (Diesel engine)
pre-assigned to terminals 37/38
When this relay is enabled, the diesel engine's glow plugs are enabled (please note chapter "Diesel Engine").
Ignition "ON" (Gas engine)
pre-assigned to terminals 37/38
When this relay is enabled, the ignition of the gas engine is switched on (please note chapter "Gas Engine").
Fuel relay/gas valve
Terminals 43/44
a) Diesel engine: fuel relay (Parameter 282)
a.1) Operating solenoid
Enabling this relay will initiate the starting sequence of the diesel engine. If the engine is to be shutdown the
relay will immediately de-energize. If the speed of the engine drops below the adjustable ignition speed,
the relay also de-energizes (note chapter "Diesel Engine").
a.2) Stopping solenoid
Enabling this relay will stop the engine.
b) Gas engine: gas valve
Enabling this relay will initiate the starting sequence of the gas engine. The gas valve will be opened. If the
engine is to be shut down the relay will immediately de-energize. If the speed of the engine falls below the
adjustable firing speed (Parameter 285), the relay also de-energizes (note chapter "Gas Engine").
Starter
Terminals 45/46
Enabling this relay will engage the starter. When the firing speed is reached (Parameter 285), at STOP mode,
or after expiration of the crank time (Parameter 272 or Parameter 278), the starter is disengaged.
Centralized alarm
pre-assigned to terminals 47/48
Enabling this relay will issue a centralized alarm. This permits a horn or buzzer to be operated by the control
unit during a fault condition. The operator can reset the relay by pressing the push-button "RESET" for a short
period. The relay will be set again in the event of another alarm. The centralized alarm is set for alarms of
alarm classes F1 through F3.

HB_PCM1x_Packages_Configuration_09.04_GB 11
Command: close GCB
Terminals 14/15
Enabling this relay will close the GCB. If the GCB closing command is configured to continuous current (Para-
meter 120), in response to a missing discrete input "Reply: GCB is open" the relay is maintained in its closed
state; this also applies if the voltages of the generator and the busbar are equal. In the event of a class F3
alarm this relay de-energizes immediately. In the event of a class F2 alarm or for shutdown the relay does not
de-energize immediately, it will de-energize if the power is less than 3.125 % of the rated generator power. If
operation of the GCB is configured as a momentary pulse, the relay de-energizes after the pulse is output. This
function must be used in conjunction with an external holding coil for the GCB.
Command: open GCB
Terminals 41/42
Enabling this relay will open the GCB. Following "Reply: GCB is open", the relay output is de-energized.
[PCM1-M] Command: close MCB
Terminals 16/17
Enabling this relay will close the MCB. This output is always a momentary pulse. For the MCB to remain
closed an external holding coil must be used.
[PCM1-M] Command: open MCB
Terminals 39/40
By enabling this relay, the MCB will open. Following "Reply: MCB is open", the relay output is de-energized.
Relay manager
Terminals 74-83, 33-38, 47/48
The "Relay Manager" manages the relays listed here (Parameter 263).
Default values:
•·Relay 1-5 = relay number (e. g. relay 1 = alarm class 1, relay 2 = alarm class 2, etc.)
•·Relay 6 = Ignition / preheating
•·Relay 7 = Centralized alarm

12 HB_PCM1x_Packages_Configuration_09.04_GB
3 Parameter
Configuration can be performed using a PC and the PC program FL-SOFT3 via the serial interface or via the front panel
push-buttons and the front panel LC display. Additionally it is possible to configure the unit via CAN bus. The following
Baud rates are therefore usable:
•Configuration via direct configuration plug (RS-232) = 9,600 Baud (8 Bit, no parity, 1 Stop bit) and
•CAN bus (CiA) (RS-485) = 125, 250 or 500 kBaud configurable via the serial interface.
CAUTION
For configuration of this control (firmware software version starting with 4.3xxx) a PC software with the following ver-
sion number or higher must be used:
FL-SOFT3 from 3.1
Because of functional enhancements within the controls of the PCM Series it is necessary (beginning with firmware version
4.3.xxx of the PCM) to use a newer version of the configuration software FL-SOFT3. This version at least must be 3.1 or
higher.
After an updated version of FL-SOFT3 has been installed older project files may still be used. These can be transferred to
the appropriate file locations within the new program.
WARNING
Please note that configuration only should be performed while the system is not operating.
NOTE
Before configuring a control unit, familiarize yourself with the parameters listed at the end of this manual.
You can scroll through the parameters if you are in configuration mode (simultaneously pressing of "Digit↑" and "Cursor→"
push buttons permits access to the configuration mode) using "Select". If you press and hold the "Select" push button the
scroll function will be activated, allowing for the parameter screens to be advanced through more rapidly. The control unit
will permit the operator to reverse up to four previous screens (exception: it is not possible to reverse from the first parame-
ter to the last parameter or to backup through the service screens). To perform the reverse function through the parameter
screens, the "Select" and "Cursor→" push buttons must be pressed and released simultaneously. The control unit will revert
to automatic mode, if an entry isn't performed, a change made or any other action performed for 90 seconds.
NOTE
There are two different types of hardware, which are described in this manual: A 120 Vac version [1] and a 480 Vac
version [4]. The configuration screens and parameters differ in both versions, and the setting limits also differ. The two
types are identified by the preceding voltage values ([1] ... or [4] ...).

3.1 Basic Data
3.1.1 Version Number (Software Version)
Parameter 1
Software version
Vx.xxxx
Software version
Display of the software version.
3.1.2 Configuration Access
The control is equipped with a three-level code and configuration hierarchy, which enables it to access various configura-
tion screens for different users. A distinction is made between:
Code level 0 (CS0) -
User: Third party
This code level enables no access to the parameters. The configuration is blocked.
Code level 1 (CS1) -
User: Customer
This code level entitles the user to change a few selected parameters. Changing passwords is not possible at this level.
Code level 2 (CS2) -
User: Commissioner
With code level 2 the user is granted full access rights, and therefore has direct access to all parameters (displaying
and changing). Additionally, the user may change the passwords for levels 1 and 2 in this level. In this code level the
password protection may be completely disabled (see below).
NOTE
Once a password has been set it will not change unless a person alters that parameter with access to it regardless of
how often the configuration mode is accessed. If an incorrect code number is entered, the code level is set to CS0
and the control is therefore locked for external users (setting of password on page 25). The control unit automatically
reverts to code level CS0 two hours after the entry of a password. By entering the correct password, the corresponding
level may again be accessed.
The code level may also be accessed using the PC program FL-SOFT3.
Parameter 2
Enter code
0000
Enter code number 0000 to 9999
Upon accessing the configuration mode a four-digit password is requested which identifies
the level of access the user is to be granted. The displayed number XXXX is a randomly
generated number that must be changed to the correct password and confirmed with the
"Select" push-button. If the random number has been confirmed with "Select" without being
changed, the control's access level remains as it was. Two four-digit code numbers
(0000-9999) exist for accessing the parameters . Changing the code level and setting up
new code words for the users can only be accomplished on the CS2 level. No assign-
ment is required for the "third party" user level, as the user does not usually receive access
to the configuration level (protected via the code).

3.1.3 Direct Configuration
NOTE
To carry out direct configuration, you require a direct configuration cable (order code "FL-CABLE-RS232"), the FL-SOFT3
program (supplied with the cable) and the corresponding configuration files. Please consult the online help installed
when the program is installed for a description of the FL-SOFT3 PC program and its setup.
Remote configuration: For remote configuration the level CS2 password must be entered via the parameter "password",
otherwise, the values can only be read but not written. Entering via the CAN bus has no influence on the displayed pa-
rameters. If the control is in code level CS0, the same level of access will be granted as described in the previous section.
The configuration via the bus is enabled for 2 hours from that point in time from the time that the last readout of configura-
tion was performed. After two hours the password must be entered again to access the parameters. The password must
also be entered prior to loading languages. If the code for level CS2 is entered via the front panel of the control, the ac-
cess for configuration via the CAN bus is automatically enabled.
WARNING
If Parameter 3 "Direct para." is configured to "YES", communication via the interface with terminals X1-X5 is blocked. If
communication is to be re-established via interface X1-X5 after finishing the configuration of the control (e.g. CAN bus
connection via a Gateway GW 4), Parameter 3 must be configured to "NO"!
The direct configuration port is diabled (Parameter 3 is automatically switched from YES to NO) once the firing speed
(Parameter 285) has been reached. This requires any further configuration of the control to be accomplished via the
front display and push buttons or via the CAN bus interface. The de-activation of direct configuration is performed as a
safety precaution. If multiple systems starting simultaneously (e. g. emergency power situation) a simultaneous switching
of the generator breakers to the dead busbar is prevented.
Parameter 3
Direct para.
YES
Direct configuration YES/NO
YES ..............Configuration via the lateral plug is enabled, and any CAN bus connec-
tion that may be available via terminals X1-X5 is disabled. The following
conditions must be met in order to carry out configuration via the lateral
plug:
- A connection must be established via the direct configuration cable be-
tween the control and the PC,
- The baud rate of the FL-SOFT3 program must be set to 9,600 Baud and
- The corresponding configuration file must be used (file name: "xxxx-xxxx-
yyy-zz.asm").
NO ..............Configuration via the lateral plug cannot is disabled, and any available
CAN bus connection via the terminals X1-X5 is enabled.

3.1.4 Generator Number
Parameter 4
Generator number
0
Generator number (number of the control on the CAN bus) 1-14
If several controls are available and these are coupled via a CAN bus, a different number
must be assigned to each control for differentiation purposes. The generator number 1
should be assigned even in the case of a single control. The control number entered here
corresponds to the control number in the program FL-SOFT3.
3.1.5 Language Manager (Package P01)
In order to load a different language into the control, follow the steps below:
1.) A communication link between your PC and the control unit must be established via the direct configuration cable (FL-
CABLE-RS232). To do this insert the serial cable into the COM port of your PC and the RJ45 plug into the communi-
cation port of the control unit (a connection via CAN and PCK 4 is also possible).
2.) Enter the password for code level CS2 into the control (Parameter 2).
3.) If the direct configuration cable (FL-CABLE-RS232) is to be utilized, the Parameter 3 "Direct para." must be configured
as "YES". If a PCK 4 or the CAN bus is to be utilized for configuration, the Parameter 3 "Direct para." must be con-
figured as "NO".
4.) If the desired language is to be loaded via the CAN bus, enter the number (1-14) into the "Generator number"
screen (Parameter 4), so that FL-SOFT3 is able to communicate with the desired control unit.
5.) Scroll to the configuration screen "Language" (Parameter 5) and select the primary language for the control unit by se-
lecting "first".
6.) Start the program FL-SOFT3, and log into the program by selecting "System" from the tool bar and "User login…"
from the drop down menu. Enter the user name and password and click the "OK" button.
7.) Open the applicable *.cfg file for the application by selecting "File" from the tool bar and "open" from the drop
down menu. Select the proper *.cfg file from the window that appears.
8.) To start communication between the control unit and FL-SOFT3 select "Communication" from the tool bar and "Con-
nect" from the drop down menu.
9.) Select "Devices" from the tool bar and "Parameterize…" from the drop down menu. A window will appear with all
the tunable parameters in it. Move the cursor over the numbers for the password and double click.
10.) Enter the password for the code level CS 2 (Parameter 2).
11.) Close the parameterization window.
12.) Select "Devices" from the tool bar and "Load language…" from the drop down menu.
13.) Load the desired language file using the button "Load LNG file ..."
14.) Select the desired language and click the "Transfer language" button.
15.) If an additional language is to be loaded into the control unit, return to step 5 and select "second" (not possible via
FL-SOFT3). Repeat all steps in order as when programming the first language.
Parameter 5

" on page 13.
When an event (see following table) occurs it is stored in the event logger. The following information is recorded:
•Event
•Date of occurrence
•Time of occurrence
Up to 50 events can be stored in the event logger (beginning with the most current one). For more than 50 entries, the
oldest event will be deleted. By pressing the "RESET" push-button, the event that is displayed is cleared. The events are dis-
played on two lines. The top line indicates the date and time of the event that has occurred; the lower line shows the type
of event.
Parameter 6
check event list
YES
Event logging YES/NO
YES ..............The events can be viewed and acknowledged.
NO ..............The events cannot be viewed and acknowledged.
NOTE
Starting from version 4.3010, the event logger can also be read via CAN. This enables to read the event logger via
PCK4/modem for example.
If the event logger is to be read via CAN, the respective connection, e.g. PCK4, has to be selected in FL-SOFT3.
Reading the event logger is then performed like for direct configuration.

Configuration of the measuring YES/NO
Various parameters are grouped together in blocks to allow navigation through the large
number of configuration screens more rapidly. Selecting "YES" or "NO" has no effect on
whether or not control or monitoring is carried out. The input merely has the following ef-
fect:
YES.............. The configuration screens in the next block are displayed and can either
be viewed ("Select" push-button) or modifications can be made to the pa-
rameters ("Cursor→", "Digit↑" or "Select" push-buttons).
NO.............. The parameters in the next block are not displayed, cannot be modified
and are therefore skipped.
