Digital controls

> PowerCommand digital control technology

Because they are


designed by one
manufacturer, all of
the elements of the
Power Command system
are designed to work in
harmony from the start.

The Power of One


For over a decade, Cummins Power Generation has
been the industry leader in power system integrated
designs. All major components of our systems the
engine, alternator, generator sets, transfer switches
and control systems are manufactured by Cummins.
This integral approachwhat we call the Power of One
gives you peace of mind for reliable, trouble-free
standby power operation.
When you choose PowerCommand systems, you
benefit from the advantages of a fully-integrated
system:
> Streamlined specifying
> Easier installation
> Higher reliability
> Faster maintenance
> 24/7 service and support
> Seamless communication
and operation

Digital controls for every application

The Power of One in digital controls


Unlike other manufacturers, Cummins Power
Generation designs power system controls as a single
self-monitoring system, not as components in a larger
system. PowerCommand controls simultaneously can
operate the engine fuel system, directly control the
alternator excitation system and monitor up to 150
other nodes.
The interaction of the controls on a generator set and the
proper matching of control capabilities require a smart,
systems approach to control design. Our experience in
the design, production and application of engines and
alternators provides an unmatched level of expertise in
the proper design of power system control electronics.
From the engine sensors to a network interface
model, PowerCommand controls are designed to
optimize the reliability and performance of your power
generation system while keeping costs competitive
and providing unique system capabilities.

Whatever your power needs...


Standby or prime, simple or complex, paralleling or
non-paralleling, on the grid or off Cummins Power
Generation offers a complete range of controls to
enhance your power system.
> Premium control system reliability. Integrating
multiple control components into a single control
package reduces the number of controls, the
number of components in the controls and the
number of connections.
> Digital voltage regulation. Fast, stable output voltage
through varying environmental conditions. Flexible
for specific application tailoring.
> Digital governing with smart starting. Integrated fuel
ramping limits black smoke and improves frequency
stability on cold starts and optimizes cold-weather
starting.

> Environmental protection. Genset-mounted controls


survive vibration, temperature extremes, electrical
transients and other harsh conditions.
> Remote monitoring. Easy, flexible remote monitoring
and control.
> Advanced serviceability. Operating panels include all
critical information and set-up capability. InPower,
a PC-based service tool, allows fast problem
diagnosis and more convenient testing and service.
> Certifications. All controls are designed,
manufactured, tested and certified to comply with
relevant UL, NFPA, ISO, IEC, CSA and CE
standards.
> Warranty and service. PowerCommand controls are
backed by a comprehensive warranty and
worldwide distribution and service network.

> Generator set monitoring. Comprehensive


monitoring of the engine, alternator and auxiliary
equipment provides the critical information
necessary to manage generator operation and
maintain system reliability.

Digital Master Control


For paralleling systems:

PowerCommand Digital Master


Controls are designed and
manufactured around standardized
control blocks delivering increased
reliability, flexibility and performance.
PowerComand Digital Master Control is a state-ofthe-art, microprocessor-based paralleling system
used with PowerCommand paralleling generator sets
and switchgear in low- and medium-voltage
applications. All of the elements of the control
package are designed to work together:
> Digital Master Control automates load-add and
load-shed, data logging and operator interface
> Generator set performs all paralleling functions
> Switchgear provides basic circuit protection and
electrical switching functions
Combine these advantages with a smaller
footprint, lower system costs and easy-touse intuitive interfaces that share the same
data throughout the system, and you have
state-of-the-art performance. Thats the
Power of One.
Redefining reliability
Distributed logic design enables each
individual system component to remain
fully functional even if the Digital Master
Controller fails improving system
reliability and reducing maintenance costs.
Digital Master Controls interface directly
with the generator set and run
continuously. They provide self-diagnostics
and event reporting and detect failures
even when the system is not in use.
