2 DESCRIPTION

This manual covers the operation of the DSE Configuration Suite for DSE8600 series synchronisingmodules. Separate manuals cover the remaining DSE modules supported by the software.

The DSE Configuration Suite allows the DSE8600 family of modules to be connected to a PC via USB ‘A – USB B’ cable. Once connected the various operating parameters within the module can be viewed or edited

as required by the engineer. This software allows easy controlled access to these values and also hasdiagnostic monitoring facilities.

The configuration suite should only be used by competent, qualified personnel, as changes to the operation ofthe module may have safety implications on the panel / generating set to which it is fitted. Access to criticaloperational sequences and settings for use by qualified engineers, may be barred by a security code set bythe generator provider.The information contained in this manual should be read in conjunction with the information contained in theappropriate module documentation. This manual only details which settings are available and how they maybe used.A separate manual deals with the operation of the individual module (See section entitled Bibliography

elsewhere in this document).

3.1.3 TROUBLESHOOTING SOFTWARE INSTALLATION

It is very rare that problems are encountered when installing the system, however if problems arise, use thefollowing checklist to troubleshoot your software installation

3.1.3.1 WINDOWS 7

32 bit and 64 bit versions

• Ensure the operating system is logged onto using an Administrator Account. Failure to do this results

in installation failure due to incorrect user permissions disallowing registration of some parts of theConfiguration Suite Software.

• When installing the software, instead of clicking the icon with the left mouse button, click on theinstallation icon with the right mouse button, then select Run as Administrator .

• Ensure the operating system is fully up to date using the Microsoft Windows Update facility.

• Ensure that Windows Installer is fully up to date using the Microsoft Windows Update facility.

• Ensure the operating system has Microsoft .net 4 Framework redistributable (for x86) installed and isfully up to date. This is available from Microsoft’s website.

3.1.3.2 WINDOWS VISTA

32 bit and 64 bit versions



• When installing the software, instead of clicking the icon with the left mouse button, click on theinstallation icon with the right mouse button, then select Run as Administrator .


• Ensure that Windows Installer is fully up to date using the Microsoft Windows Update facility.

• Ensure the operating system has Microsoft .net 4 Framework redistributable (for x86) installed and is

fully up to date. This is available from Microsoft’s website.

3.1.3.3 WINDOWS XP




• Ensure that Windows Installer is fully up to date using the Microsoft Windows Update facility.• Ensure the operating system has Microsoft .net 4 Framework redistributable (for x86) installed and is

fully up to date. This is available from Microsoft’s website.

3.1.3.4 WINDOWS NT, WINDOWS MILLENIUM, WINDOWS 98, WINDOWS 95,

WINDOWS 3.1

• DSE Configuration Suite does not support these operating systems. It is recommended that thesystem is operated under Windows 7, Windows Vista or Windows XP operating systems.

3.1.3.5 APPLE MAC, WINDOWS CE, PALM OS, SMARTPHONE, PDA, ANDROID

• DSE Configuration Suite requires a Windows Personal Computer (PC) running the full version ofWindows. (Windows 7, Windows Vista or Windows XP operating systems).

3.2 HARDWARE INSTALLATION

Ensure the Configuration Suite Software is installed on the PC as described above.The installation of the PC software also installs the DSE Controller USB Driver automatically.Connect the USB cable to the module and to the PC as shown below.

Windows detects the module when power is applied to it.

You are now ready to configure or monitor the module using the Configuration Suite Software.

3.3 TROUBLESHOOTING INSTALLATION

Occasionally USB devices are disabled by the Windows operating system, the following procedure will re-

enable the device in these instances.

• Disconnect the Deep Sea Electronics Controller from the USB port. Wait a moment, then reconnectand try again. If you still encounter problems then :

• Try another USB cable. If you don’t have one, it’s the same type of cable as usually used between aPC and a USB printer (Type A to Type B). If you still encounter problems then :

• Disconnect the Deep Sea Electronics Controller. Shutdown, then restart the PC. Reconnect theinterface, and then try again. If you continue to experience problems then :

• Check the USB port with another device (for instance a mouse, printer or digital camera).

5.2.1 ACCESS PERMISSIONS

Access permissions is an advanced Administration option to allow OEMS to setup the Configuration Suitesoftware to limit access for certain users.For instance, the generator OEM can install the software on the End User’s PC and then setup multipleusernames to limit the customers’ access to only those functions that the OEM requires for the end user.An example of this is to give only SCADA access to a user requiring monitoring, or to give access to read and

write configuration files, but not to edit a configuration file.

If this input is active, the load demand start up and shut down scheme will be activated whentwo or more generators are running in parallel.

Enable fast loadingfeatureDSE8610/DSE8620only

= Normal Operation, the safety on timer will be observed in full. This feature is useful if themodule is to be used with some small engines where pre-mature termination of the delaytimer can lead to overspeed alarms on start up. = The module will terminate the safety on timer once all monitored parameters have

reached their normal settings. This feature is useful if the module is to be used as a standbycontroller as it allows the generator to start and go on load in the shortest possible time.

NOTE: - Enabling Fast Loading is only recommended where steps have beentaken to ensure rapid start up of the engine is possible. (For example when fitted with

engine heaters, electronic governors etc.)

Audible alarm priorto starting

= The module will start with no audible indication = The module will give an audible warning during the pre-heat timer as an indicator thatthe set is about to run. This is often a site’s specification requirement of AUTO modeoperation.

MiscellaneousOptionsEnable ImmediateMains Dropout

= Normal Operation, in the event of a mains failure the module will attempt to maintain thesupply to the load for the incoming AC mains supply until the generator is available to go onload. In the event of a generator failure the module will default back to the incoming ACmains supply. This provides a ‘fail-safe’ system, ensuring that in the event of a system failurethe load will still be fed from the AC mains supply.

= As soon as the module detects a mains failure the mains contactor or breaker relay willbe opened to remove the supply from the load. This is to prevent damage to the load in caseof a single-phase failure; especially useful if the load is a 3-phase motor or pump. Thesupply to the load will then be fed from the gen-set once it is available. In the event of agenerator failure, the module will open the generator relay and remove the supply to the loaduntil either the mains supply is restored or the generator is restarted.

All Warnings AreLatched

= Normal Operation, the warnings and pre-alarms will automatically reset once thetriggering condition has cleared. = Warnings and pre-alarms latch when triggered. Resetting the alarm is performed byeither an external reset applied to one of the inputs or, the ‘Stop/Reset’ pushbutton must beoperated (once the triggering condition has been cleared).

Inhibit Retransfer ToMains

DSE8660 only

IEEE 37.2 - 3Checking orinterlocking relay

= When the mains supply is reinstated after a failure, the re-transfer back to mains willtake place. = This prevents the load being transferred back to the mains supply, even in the event ofthe generators failing. This can be used in peak lopping systems where the cost of using themains to supply the load is so prohibitive that the customer does not want to transfer back tothe mains supply.

Enable Forced PeakLop Inhibit

DSE8660 only

IEEE 37.2 - 3Checking orinterlocking relay

This function is applicable only to systems with more than one 8660 controller. Thedescription below discusses a two controller system, named 1 and 2.

= If the 8660 (1) is in manual mode using the generator sets to peak lop a mains supplyand another 8660 (2) requests the generators to power its load following a mains failure, the8660 (1) will relinquish the generators to the other 8660 (2) = The 8660 (1) will continue to use the generator sets regardless of requests by other8660 controllers for usage of the generators.

NOTE:- This option only has effect in Manual Mode.

If the 8660 using the generators for Peak Lopping is in Auto Mode, then requests fromanother 8660 for the generators following a mains failure will always be granted and

the peak lopping operation is suspended.

Enable Bus FailureDetection when inParallel

Monitors the MSC link to check that there are generators on the bus and not a case of thebus is live from the mains.

6.3.3 DISABLE PROTECTIONS

This feature is provided to assist the system designer in meeting specifications for “Warning only”,“Protections Disabled”, “Run to Destruction”, “War mode” or other similar wording.

Options Description

Enable = The module will operate as normal and provide engine shutdown if required.

= Protections disabled function is activated. Operation depends upon the followingconfiguration.

NOTE:-Writing a configuration to the controller that has “Protections Disabled”configured, results in a warning message appearing on the PC screen for the user toacknowledge before the controller’s configuration is changed. This prevents

inadvertent activation of the feature.

Disable AllProtections

Never : The protections are not disabledAlways : Protections are always overridden by the DSE controller.On Input : Protections are disabled whenever a configurable input set to ProtectionsDisabled is activated

ProtectionsDisabled AlarmAction

If Disable All Protections is set to On Input , this selection allows configuration of an alarm tohighlight that the protections have been disabled on the engine.

Indication : Any output or LCD display indicator configured to Protections Disabled will bemade active, however the internal alarm sound will not operate.Warning : Any output or LCD display indicator configured to Protections Disabled will be

made active, and the internal alarm sound will operate.

When protections are disabled, Protections Disabled will appear on the module display to

inform the operator of this status.

6.3.4 AUTO VOLTAGE SENSING

DSE 8610 only

Auto voltage sensing instructs the controller to monitor the generators output during the safety delay timer.During this time, the controller identifies the nominal voltage, frequency and topology of the alternator outputand selects the most appropriate ‘alternative configuration’ to use.This is particularly useful where a generator is switched from 50Hz/60Hz or 120V/240V for example.

NOTE: - During the safety delay timer, the module factory set status page will display the L-Nvoltage, based upon the generator being 3 phase, 4 wire. This can lead to incorrect status displayduring the safety timer if Auto Voltage Sensing is enabled and the generator is not 3ph 4w. To preventthis, the status page can be customised to display other parameters if required. At the end of the

safety timer, the correct voltages will be displayed.

ApplicationOptions

Description

Enable AutoVoltage Sensing

= The module will operate as normal. = Auto voltage sensing is enabled. During the safety delay timer, the module attempts to

measure the system’s nominal voltage and frequency and determine the topology of thealternator wiring. At the end of the safety timer, the main and alternative configurations areanalysed to see which one is most appropriate to suit the connected system and the modulecontinues to operate, using the most appropriate configuration to provide protection.

Over VoltageDuring AutoSensing Trip

During the Auto sensing there is no over voltage trip protection from the main settings untilafter the safety on timer has elapsed. Therefore the overvoltage trip value is taken from thissetting.
