DST4602, DST4602/P, DST4602 Evolution, DST4602/P Evolution Technical Manual 1

DST4602 is an automatic device for the control of a generator. It is able to manage and protect
both engine and alternator. It integrates all the functionalities needed to manage the parallel
of the generator both with other generators and with the mains. It can also be used for simple
standby (emergency to mains) or prime-mover (stand-alone production) applications.
The proper use of this manual requires a specific knowledge in genset use and
installation and, in case of need, in parallel applications.
In this document there is not a detailed description of all the programming parameters: to this
purpose see [1]. The user’s manual [2] and the parallel functions manual [3] should be
considered an integral part of this manual.
Although most of the parameters and features can be accessed and configured directly by
operating on the device, some particular features or configurations, due to their nature, can
only be set or changed through the PC program SICES Board Programmer3 [14]
(hereinafter referred to as “BoardPrg3”) provided on the CD that comes with the device and
downloadable for free after registration on the SICES S.r.l. www.sices.eu and
www.sicesbrasil.com.br/.
It greatly simplifies the configuration of the device and its use is strongly recommended. It also
allows you to save the current configuration of the device on a file and to reuse it on other
identical devices,
The program also allows the configuration, saving or loading of the characteristic curves of
non-standard analogue sensors with resistive or live output.
BoardPrg3 [14]can be used on all the SICES devices; connection to the PC can be realized
both directly, via the RS232 serial port, USB, or remotely via modem, RS485 serial port or
Ethernet network. To use the program refer to the related manual.
DST4602 is able to report and manage all the anomalous conditions occurring during the
working of the system. The anomalies are classified into four categories, according to their
severity and based on the actions DST4602 performs to manage them:
 Warning. This term is used to indicate an anomaly that, under the circumstances,
doesn't compromise the working of the generator: the operator should, anyway, take
note of it, because sooner or later it could worsen in a more serious anomaly.
 Discharge. This term is used to indicate an anomaly that requires the stop of
generator. There aren't immediate risks either for the generator or for users. The
intervention sequence is:
o If the generator is connected in parallel with another generator or with the

mains, DST4602 will gradually reduce to zero the power supplied by the
generator.
o Then, it will open the generator switch (GCB) and, if necessary, close the
mains switch (MCB, where provided, if it has not been already closed).
o The engine is kept running for a configurable time (without load) to allow its
cooling cycle.
2 DST4602, DST4602/P, DST4602 Evolution, DST4602/P Evolution Technical Manual

o In the end, DST4602 stops the engine.
 Deactivation. This term is used to indicate an anomaly that requires the stop of
generator. There aren't immediate risks for generator, but there are potential risks for
users, that, therefore, have to be disconnected immediately from generator. The
intervention sequence is:
o DST4602 immediately opens the generator switch (GCB), regardless the

power supplied in that moment. If necessary it closes mains switch (MCB,
where provided, if not already closed).
o The motor is left in action for a configurable time (without load), to allow its
cooling (cooling cycle).
o In the end DST4602 stops the engine.
 Alarm. This term is used to indicate an anomaly that requires the stop of generator.
There are immediate risks for the generator, which therefore should be stopped
immediately. The intervention sequence is:
o DST4602 opens immediately the generator switch (GCB), regardless of the

power supplied by the generator. If necessary it closes mains switch (MCB,
where provided, if not already closed).
o DST4602 stops the motor, without executing the cooling cycle.
AIF Identifies a function for configuring analogue inputs (“Analogue Input Function”).
The number that follows the wording “AIF.” represents the code to be set in the
parameter that configures the function of the desired analogue input.
AOF Identifies a function for configuring analogue outputs (“Analogue Output

Function”). The number that follows the wording “AOF.” is the code to be set in
the parameter that configures the function of the desired analogue output.
DIF Identifies a function to configure digital inputs (“Digital Input Function”). The
number that follows the wording “DIF.” represents the code that should be set
in the parameter that configures the function of the desired digital input.
DOF Identifies a function for the configuration of digital outputs (“Digital Output
Function”). The number that follows the wording “DOF.” is the code that should
be set in the parameter that configures the function of the desired digital output.
DTC Indicates a diagnostic code received from the engine control unit (ECU) via
CAN-BUS (“Diagnostic Trouble Code”).
ECU Indicates the engine electronic control unit (“Engine Control Unit”).
EVT Identifies an event stored within the historical records. The number that follows
the wording “EVT.” is the event numeric code.
GCB This term identifies the switch that connects the generator to users (or to the
parallel bars for systems with more than one generator) (“Generator Circuit
Breaker”).
MCB This term identifies the switch that connects mains to users (or to parallel bars
if a switch MGCB doesn't exist) (“Mains Circuit Breaker”).
MGCB Indicates the switch that connects the parallel bars of the generator to users
(“Master Generators Circuit Breaker”).

In this document a vertical bar on the right margin or a grey background indicates that the
chapter or the paragraph has been amended respect to the previous document’s version.
Changes in the fields of a table are highlighted with a grey background colour.
Several parts of this manual refer to the controller's firmware revisions. These revisions are
marked with the assigned SICES code (shown on a label on the rear panel of the controller).
Software code version has the following format: EB0220179XXYY, where XX is the main
revision number and YY is the secondary revision number. Thus, code EB02201790001 refers
to the controller's software release 0.01. DST4602 uses two different firmwares.
 EB0220179XXYY: for functional management.
 EB0220104XXYY: for user interface management.
This controller is available in two models:
 A compact controller for panel mounting: E61021351YYXX DST4602.
 A two-components controller, with a panel mount command unit and an internal

mounting control unit:
o EE61021361YYXX DST4602 HMI (Human Machine Interface).
o E61021371YYXX DST4602 SCM (System Control Module).
INFORMATION! In the above listed codes, the two YY characters can be replaced by
a number showing the version. The last two XX characters can be replaced by a
progressive number showing product or option revisions.

WARNING! IT IS MANDATORY TO PERMANENTLY CONNECT THE HOUSING OF
THE DEVICE TO EARTH through the suitable screws. The safety connection to earth
should be implemented before any other connection.
SICES S.r.l. should not in any way be held responsible for damages to property or
persons due to non-compliance with the requirements of installation and the safety
connection to earth of the device.
WARNING! Proper use of the device requires permanent mounting in a panel or

cabinet. Accessing device connections shall only be possible by means of specific
tools or keys. Device removal shall only be possible by means of tools.
External installation of overcurrent protection is required for any mains/bars and generator
phase. The controller input impedance of any mains/bars and genset lines, in normal operating
conditions, is greater than 1 Mohm. A 1 A protection threshold is adequate.
The safety ground connection wire must have at least the same (or greater) cross section as
the wires used to connect mains/bars and generator. The section of the wire must match the
overcurrent protection value used.
For CAT.IV applications, the auxiliary low voltage negative supply (terminal 1 of connector J20
GND) must be connected to ground. Otherwise, the operation conditions must be requested
to S.I.C.E.S.
For CAT.IV applications, the max applicable voltage is 300 Vac (L-N phase-to-neutral) and
520 Vac (L-L phase-to-phase). Maximum voltage to ground is 300 Vac.
For CAT.III applications, the max applicable voltage is 345 Vac (L-N phase-to-neutral) and
600 Vac (L-L phase-to-phase). Maximum voltage to ground is 600 Vac.
For CAT.IV applications with the GCB contactor powered by generator, use phase L1 to power
terminal 1 of connector J4.
Connectors topology

The J20 connector is the supply connector: connect an uninterruptible power supply (usually
the engine starter battery) to the 1-GND terminal (minus) and to the 2-+BATT terminal.
The minus terminal "1-GND" is the reference and the common return of the digital inputs, of
the outputs and of the current and voltage measurements. In principle it should be
connected to protection earth. Systems requiring isolation between battery minus and
protective earth are nonetheless usable, but they may generate operating problems and could
require special precautions, such as the use of insulating voltage transformers for the Mains
and Generator voltage measurements.
Although the device is protected by a built-in self-resetting fuse, it is recommended that you
use a fuse for the protection of the positive line 2-+BATT.
Through "1- GND negative input" all the current that enters J26 static outputs flows.
The device automatically recognizes when it is powered if the generator set battery nominal
voltage is 12Vdc or 24Vdc for managing the related logics and alarms. The recognition also
takes place every time you switch to mode OFF/RESET.
NB: during installation, connect the battery positive as final operation.
DST4602 has a series of twenty opto, fully configurable digital inputs. Connectors J1, J2 and
J3 are the terminals of the inputs. The digital inputs are active when connected to the negative
power of the board (GND); when not activated when they get to +VBATT.
If not used, it is possible to configure and use also J15 , J27 and J6- 3/4 analogue inputs as
digital inputs (see paragraphs 5.5.5 and 5.5.6.2).
Information! We recommend you to use input serial diodes in case one or more
devices have digital inputs connected in parallel. This expedient prevents false
acquisitions of input status when a device is disconnected.

+D

When the controller starts the engine, the J6 terminal supplies the necessary power for
energizing the battery recharge alternator.
With stationary engine and alternator, the alternator +D terminal is practically a short circuit to
the battery minus and the voltage at its ends is close to 0V. During and after engine starting,
as well as under normal operating conditions, with the revolution of the recharge alternator,
the +D voltage rises up to the value of the battery voltage. When the engine stops, or even if
only the recharge alternator stops because of the breakage of the drive belt, the +D voltage
returns to 0V. The same thing happens in case of malfunction of the alternator.
The energizing command is activated on the engine start command.
Through J6- 3 and J6- 4 terminals (internally connected to each other), the board measures
the voltage +D of the charging alternator, both during the starting of the engine and during its
working. It is displayed in the S.16 page, under item 06.
The voltage measure can be used for two purposes:
 Engine running/stop detection
 Usually the recharge alternator is driven by the drive shaft through a drive belt.
Normally, the drive belt also drives other mechanical components of the engine, for
example the cooling fan of the radiator. If during engine operation the +D voltage of
the recharge alternator drops below 0V or if it does not rise after start, once the P.0349
time is up, it is assumed that the belt is broken or at least that there is a malfunction
and the DST4602 activates an anomaly that can be configured with the parameter
P.0357 (as warning, unloading, deactivation or lock) to protect the engine from the
lack of operation of the mechanical parts driven by the belt.
If not used, the voltage measurement input +D can be used for other functions by configuring
it through P.4041 parameter (see paragraph 5.5.6).
DST4602 has two different connectors for the connection of generator voltage lines:
 J23 for voltages up to 520 Vac (phase-to-phase) or 300 Vac (phase). For higher
voltages, it is necessary to use voltmeter transformers.
 J18 for voltages up to 100 Vac (phase-to-phase). This input should be used in case
voltmeter transformers with secondary voltage equal to 100V are employed.
J18 and J23 measuring inputs cannot be wired and used simultaneously.
J23 - 1 400 V generator phase input L1
J23 - 4 400 V generator neutral input N
J18 - 1 Generator L1 phase input for 100 V VT

J18 - 4 Generator N neutral input for 100 V VT
The single-phase connection is also possible:
 Connect the phase (L) to terminal 1 of connector J23 or J18
 Connect the neutral (N) to 2 and 4 terminals of J23 or J18 connector.
Parameters P.0101 allows to select the tri-phase/single-phase mode.

The device, in three-phase connection, can function both with the neutral connection and
without it; selection is performed through the P.0128 parameter. If the connection without
neutral is selected, the board recreates a virtual neutral internally.
The values of the V1-N, V2-N and V3-N phase voltages and the VN voltage of the neutral in
relation to GND for the generator are displayed on page M.03. If the device is configured not
to measure neutral voltage, these measures are not displayed.
On both J18 and J23 connectors it is possible to use voltage transformers Aron insertion,
which requires the use of only two transformers instead of three (see paragraph 5.5.3). It is
necessary to set P.0128 in order not use the neutral connection:
DST4602 has two different connectors for mains or bars voltage lines connection:
 J24 for voltages up to 520 Vac (phase-to-phase) or 300 Vac (phase). For higher
voltages, it is necessary to use voltmeter transformers.
 J19 for voltages up to 100 Vac (phase-to-phase). This input should be used in case
voltmeter transformers with secondary voltage equal to 100V are employed.
J19 and J24 measurement inputs cannot be wired and used simultaneously
J24 - 1 400 V mains/bars phase input L1
J24 - 4 400 V mains/bars neutral input N
J19 - 1 Mains/bars phase input L1 for 100 V TV

J19 - 4 Mains/bars neutral input N for 100 V TV
The single-phase connection is also possible:
 Connect the phase (L) to terminal 1 of connector J24 or J19
 Connect the neutral (N) to 2 and 4 terminals of J24 or J19 connector.
Parameters P.0119 allows to select the tri-phase/single-phase mode.
The device, in three-phase connection, can function both with the neutral connection and
without it; selection is performed through the P.0129 parameter. If the connection without
neutral is selected, the board recreates a virtual neutral internally.
The values of the V1-N, V2-N and V3-N phase voltages and the VN voltage of the neutral in
relation to GND for the mains are displayed on page M.02. If the device is configured not to
measure neutral voltage, these measures are not displayed.
On both J19 and J24 connectors it is possible to use voltage transformers Aron insertion,
which requires the use of only two transformers instead of three (see paragraph 5.5.3). It is
necessary to set P.0129 in order not use the neutral connection:
Both for the generator voltage measurement input and for mains/bars voltage measurement
input it is possible to use voltage transformers Aron insertion; this allows using only two
transformers instead of three. The connection is possible both on 100Vac and 400Vac inputs.
Aron connection principle scheme is the following:

The scheme is the same for both the generator and the mains/bars; it is anyway necessary to
set P.0128 (for the generator) or P.0129 (for the mains/bars) parameters, or both to indicate
to the board that the neutral connection is not used.
J21 clamp allows the acquisition of the three generator or user phase currents. Inside the
board there are three current transformers with a rated current on the primary of maximum
5Aac. On the connector there are both the terminals of each current transformer. It is not
necessary that the outputs of the transformers are connected to GND.
Terminal Function
J21 - 1 Input CT1 (S1) 'hot' pole
J21 - 2 Input CT1 (S2) 'cold' pole
External current transformers can be connected to these terminals with a 5Aac or 1Aac
secondary: the board manages internally an automatic changing of scaling that provides the
same accuracy of measure with both types of transformer.
P.0107 and P.0139 parameters allow configuring the transformation ratio of external current
transformers. For example, by using 50/5 current transformers, set P.0107= 50 and P.0139=
5.
P.0124 parameter instead allows indicating to DST4602 if the current transformers are
connected to the generator lines (value "0") or to the user lines (value "1"). It may be useful,
in fact, to connect current transformers to user's lines (instead of to generator lines) to be sure
that the board measures load power also when it is connected to the mains. But this is only
possible for the types of systems that do not include the parallel: for the only SSB system
("Single Stand By", system composed of a single group that acts as emergency service to the
mains and that does not allow parallel with the same mains).
It is possible, regardless of the connection of voltmeter transformers, to connect the current

transformers configured as Aron insertion. This allows using two current transformers instead
of three.
The connection scheme is the following:

The board can make a fourth measurement of the current (AC). For this purpose two
connectors are provided, but that should be used alternatively. The internal measurement
circuit, in fact, is in part in common to the two connectors. Use J22 connector to connect a
current transformer to the board; use J17 connector to connect a toroid to the board.
Use P.0109 parameter to indicate to the board which connector has been used:
 P.0109=0. J22 connector (current transformer).

Terminal Function
To these terminals an external current transformer with a 5Aac or 1Aac secondary can
be connected: the board manages internally an automatic scaling that ensures the
same measurement accuracy with both types of transformers.
P.0108 and P.0140 parameters allow configuring the transformation ratio of the
external current transformers. For example, if a 60/5 current transformer is used, set
P.0108=60 and P.0140=5.
 P.0109=1. Connector J17 (toroid).

Terminal Function
J17 - 1 IN Input
J17 - 2 RTN Input
The transformation ratio of the toroid should be configured on the board via P.0108
and P.0140 parameters. For example, if a toroid with a transformation ratio of 700 is
used, set P.0108=700 and P.0140=1.
Regardless of the type of used external transformer, it is then necessary to further configure
the board to determine how to acquire the measurement and which type of measurement was
acquired.
P.0130 parameter allows indicating to the board where the transformer that acquires this
measurement of current was placed:
 P.0130 = 0. The transformer is connected in some way to the generator lines. It is the
most common case: use this configuration, for example, when it is necessary to
measure the current that circulates on the neutral line, or to measure the current
between neutral and earth.
 P.0130 = 1. The transformer is connected in some way to user lines. It is a hardly used
case, as it applies to SSB systems only (see note in previous paragraph). It could be

used, for example, to make a differential protection on the user line instead of on the
generator line.
 P.0130 = 2. The transformer is connected in some way to the mains lines. Use this
configuration if it is required, for example, which the board is able to measure the
power that circulates on a mains phase.
The most important parameter to set is, however, P.0131 parameter, which helps to determine
what type of current measurement it is necessary to perform:
 P.0131 = 0 (“Not used”). The board disables the measure of the fourth current, which
will then not be displayed.
 P.0131 = 1 (“General use”). The board displays the measurement of current carried
out on M.06 page with the wording "Auxiliary current".
 P.0131 = 2 (“Neutral on the generator”). The board displays the measurement of

current carried out on M.03 page, by identifying it as “An”. Moreover, if the
measurement is acquired by a current transformer (not by a toroid) identical to those
used for measuring phase currents (same primary, same secondary and positioned
on the same source), the board also calculates the instantaneous sum of the four
currents and displays it on M.03 page with the wording "AΣ".
 P.0131 = 3 (“differential protection”). The board performs the measurement already

as a differential current (already as the sum of the four currents of the generator). It
displays it on M.03 page with the wording "AΣ".
 P.0131 = 4 (“Power measurement on mains”). The board interprets the measurement

as the current circulating on phase L1 of the mains, and displays it on "M.06" page
with the wording "Mains current". If its three-phase sensor is configured to measure
mains voltages, the board also calculates the active power circulating on L1phase of
the mains (kW, negative if the power is yield to the mains). Finally, for three-phase
systems, it multiplies three times the calculated power, assuming that the load is
evenly distributed over the three phases. If it is not the case, it is possible to apply a
correction factor (P.0132), which allows increasing the calculated power (if P.0132 >
1) or reducing it (if P.0132 <1) to ensure that it is as close as possible to the actual
one. This power measurement on the mains can be used to manage
"IMPORT/EXPORT" function (see [3]).
If the measure of the fourth is used (P.0131 > 0), the board allows setting a threshold and a
time delay (P.0367 and P.0368) and activating an anomaly in case the measure is too high
(A045). Note: if P.0131 is set to "2", the protection does not affect the measured current but
the calculated differential current.

DST4602 has three inputs for resistive sensors, J27-2, J27-3 and J27-4, plus a fourth input for
the measurement of the reference potential of the J27-5/6 sensor common (internally
connected to each other).
The connection of the sensors is the following:
"ANALOGUE INPUT 3" and “ANALOGUE INPUT 4" inputs have the maximum measurable
selectable resistance value. It is necessary to act on SW4 switch and on the configuration
parameters of the inputs (see description in the following paragraphs):
If not used to acquire the sensors, the three inputs can be configured as additional digital
inputs; in this case the input is activated by closing the respective terminal to GND and it is
configurable as all other digital inputs (see par. 7.5).
To resistive inputs, in addition to those provided when configured to acquire oil pressure,
coolant temperature and fuel level, it is possible to associate additional further thresholds and
identifying notices (see par. 7.8).

The input has a selectable usable resistance measuring range:
 SWITCH SW4_1 ON and P.0136=0 parameter >> full scale =300 Ohm
 SWITCH SW4_1 OFF and P.0136=1 parameter >> full scale =400 Ohm
The typical use of this input is the measure of engine oil pressure; if not used for this purpose,
it can be configured via P.4017 parameter as:
 AIF.0000 – “Not used”
 AIF.0100 – “Used as digital input”
 AIF.1000 – “Oil pressure VDO”
 AIF.1001 – "Oi l pressure (generic)"
AIF.1001 function - "Oil Pressure (generic)" implies the use of a conversion curve (see par.
7.7).
The input has a selectable usable resistance measuring range:
 SWITCH SW4_2 ON and P.0137=0 parameter >> full scale =1800 Ohm
 SWITCH SW4_2 OFF and P.0137=1 parameter >> full scale =8000 Ohm
The typical use of this input is the measurement of the engine coolant; if not used for this
purpose, it can be configured via P.4025 parameter as:
 AIF.1100 – “Oil temperature (VDO)”
 AIF:1101 – “Oil temperature (generic)”
 AIF.1110 – "Coolant temperature (VDO)"
 AIF.1111 – "Coolant temperature (generic)"
AIF.1101 function - "Oil temperature (generic)" and AIF.1111 function - "Coolant temperature
(generic)" imply the use of a conversion curve (see par. 7.7).
The input has a full scale of fixed 400 Ohm.
The typical use of this input is the measurement of the fuel level through a float or at least a
resistive sensor. If not used for this purpose, the input can be configured via P.4033 parameter:
 AIF.1100 – “Oil temperature (VDO)”
 AIF:1101 – “Oil temperature (generic)”
 AIF.1200 – "Oil level (VDO)"

 AIF.1201 – "Oil level (generic)"
 AIF.1210 – "Coolant level (VDO)"
 AIF.1211 – "Coolant level (generic)"
 AIF.1220 – "Fuel level (VDO)"
 AIF.1221 – “Fuel level (generic)”
AIF.1101 function - "Oil temperature (generic)" - AIF.1201 function - "Oil level (generic)"
AIF.1211 function - "Coolant level (generic)" and AIF.1221 function - "Fuel level (generic)"
imply the use of conversion curves (see par. 7.7).
The dual J27-5 and J27-6 "ANALOGUE REFERENCE" input (the two pins are internally
connected to each other) is not a true measurement input, but it is used along with three inputs
for resistive sensors. Its purpose is to compensate for the lack of equipotentiality between
electric earthing of the device (J20-1 GND terminal) and of the electric panel and electric
earthing of the genset, usually generated by the voltage drop on the connection cables;
particularly, this happens when the connections between electric panel and engine are long
and when there is a power flow in the battery minus and earthing connections, for example
due to the presence of the battery recharge device inside the electric panel.
The system is able to efficiently compensate for both positive and negative potentials, ranging
between -2 Vdc and +1.8 Vdc, with sensors resistance values of 100 ohm. The range of
compensation increases for lower resistance values and decreases for higher values of
resistance, being optimized for the resistance values of the sensors in normal operating
conditions of the system.
The measurement of voltage with reference to GND terminal is displayed on S.16 page in the
first line under the wording “VREF”. The measuring range of the system (and therefore the
indicated value) may be higher than the useful one for the compensation indicated above.
The input measures the potential of the common ground point (negative) of the resistive
sensors, which for the sensors mounted on the engine is represented directly by the engine
itself or the chassis of the genset; the connection can therefore be connected to a grounding
system or to a bolt on the engine. If the minus of one or several sensors is isolated from the
engine or the genset chassis, for example in the case of floats for fuel level measurement
mounted on the plastic tanks or electrically separated from the genset, you need to connect
the “ANALOGUE REFERENCE” input to the return of the sensor and also to the negative
electric mass of the engine or to the negative limit of the starting battery.

J6-3 ANALOGUE REFERENCE: voltage instrument input +D with
Measure input
J6-4 reference to J27-5/6 terminals.
DST4602 has three inputs for the measurement of voltage signals.
Two are specific ("ANALOGUE INPUT 1" for signals 0 ... 5 Vdc and "ANALOGUE INPUT 2"
for signals 0 ... 10 Vdc), and one ("ANALOGUE INPUT 6") uses the measurement input of the
signal +D if it is not used for the excitation of the charge alternator.
"ANALOGUE INPUT 6" uses as earthing reference J27-5/6 "ANALOGUE REFERENCE"

terminals, which, for the correct use of the resistive sensors, should be connected to earth
(negative) on the engine. If the resistive sensors are not used, connect one of the two J27-5/6
terminals to GND. "ANALOGUE INPUT 6" can be used to measure voltages up to 32 Vdc; its
function is configurable with P.4041 parameter.
"ANALOGUE INPUT 1" and "ANALOGUE INPUT 2" provide for the possibility to perform the
measurement of the signal in differential, so as to compensate for any non-equipotentiality of
the earthing of the signal source with reference to GND. Maximum common-mode voltages
are:
 -10 /+9Vdc for ANALOGUE INPUT 1.
 -5/+7Vdc for ANALOGUE INPUT 2.
Reference J15-2 and J15-4 terminals are internally connected to GND through 1-kOhm
resistors; this allows avoiding their connection to the earthing of voltage signal sources for
short connections inside the electrical panel. The functions of the two analogue inputs are
configurable by P.4001 and P.4009 parameters.

One of the uses of "ANALOGUEUE INPUT 1", "ANALOGUEUE INPUT 2" and
"ANALOGUEUE INPUT 6" is to set speeds, power or else by using the potentiometers.
J15-5 terminal can be used, exclusively for this purpose, as regulated source at +5 Vdc to
which it is possible to connect one or more adjustment potentiometers; use in this case the
J27-1 terminal as reference earthing.
The connection of the potentiometer to "ANALOGUE INPUT 2" by using the internal +5 V
reference is as follows:
Note: The minimum resistance between J15-5 (+5 V reference) and J27-1 (internal
reference earthing) should not fall below 10kohm.
It is possible to use J15-5 (+5 Vdc) reference also for the potentiometer connected to
"ANALOGUE INPUT 2", which has a full scale of 10 Vdc , but in this case the measurement
resolution is halved. It is anyway possible to use a conversion curve for this input in order to
redefine the full scale for the input +5 Vdc (see par. 7.7). The same applies to "ANALOGUEUE
INPUT 6": this input, however, has a full scale of about 32 Vdc, then the measurement
resolution is lower.
It is possible to use external reference voltages (5 Vdc or 10 Vdc stabilized); the earthing of
the external reference should be connected to the references of used J15-2 and J15-4 inputs;
they should be connected to the earth terminal of the potentiometer.
Warning: by using external reference voltages, do not connect the internal reference J27-
1 terminal.
It is possible to use "ANALOGUE INPUT 1", "ANALOGUE INPUT 2" and "ANALOGUE INPUT
6" as further digital inputs by configuring them as such with the parameters that define their
function.
The three inputs are considered active if the measured voltage drops below 1.2 VDC and are
deactivated when the voltage rises above 1.8 Vdc.
To provide the deactivation power to "ANALOGUE INPUT 1" and "ANALOGUE INPUT 2" it is
possible to use the 10kOhm pull-up resistors connected to J15-5 (+5 Vdc) and the reference
J15-1 and J15-3 terminals. In this way, it is enough to connect the input terminal to GND to
activate the function.
To provide the deactivation power to "ANALOGUE INPUT 6" it is possible use a 10-kOhm pull-
up resistor connected to + VBATT and to the reference J6-3/4 terminal. In this way, it is enough
to connect the input terminal to GND to activate the function.

Measure PICK-UP IN/W. Pick-up or W signal input (the latter requires an
J27 - 7
input additional filter).
Measure PICK-UP IN RTN. Pick-up return signal (standard external
J27 - 8
input connection to negative).
J27 - 9 Shielding GUARD EARTH. Input for pick-up cable shield connection.
To measure the engine rotational speed you can use a magnetic pick-up placed on the fly-
wheel, or use the W speed (if present) signal on the battery recharge alternator. The
connection must be made with a shielded cable, with grounded shield.
In the case of engines equipped with digital control unit the rotational speed is measured
directly via CAN-BUS.
Even if there is no measuring system available, the DST4602 can still calculate and show the
rotational speed, from the generator frequency.
You can use either two ground insulated wires pick-up, or a one-wire pick-up with the thread
screwed onto the grounded engine (GND), which is the return connection for the signal; the
two-wire isolated pick-up is however recommended.
The signal is sinusoidal; the frequency depends on the rotational speed of the engine and on
the number of revolutions of the flywheel. The maximum input voltage with the engine in
standard operation is about 3Vac; in case voltage is lower, the signal can be increased by
turning the pick-up in order to bring it closer to the gear wheel, paying the utmost attention not
to hit it when turning the flywheel.
Connections:
 J27-7 pick-up signal positive input
 J27-8 pick-up signal negative input
With the one-wire pick-up, only connect the J27-7.
Usually, you can use a single pick-up, connected either to a DST4602 or to another device,
such as a speed regulator, but paying attention to the polarity of the connections. Check also
that the signal amplitude is sufficient.
For the configuration of the pick-up input, see par. 9.4.3.
Some battery charger alternators make available a “W” terminal that has an alternate voltage
with a frequency proportional to the rotation speed of the battery charger. The W signal is
generated inside the engine start battery recharge alternator. It is a square wave, with an
amplitude ranging from 0 to +Vbatt and the frequency proportional to the engine speed, but
depending on how the alternator is built and on the ratio between the diameters of the pulleys
onto which the driving belt runs.
To W signal usually overlaps a lot of electrical noise, produced by the same alternator. It is
therefore necessary to use an optional external filter, code SICES SRL E620202710900. The
filter has two pairs of wires, an input one connected to W terminal of the alternator and to GND,
and an output one, with a wire to be connected to J27-7 and the other to GND.
For the configuration of the W signal see par. 9.4.3.

Two analogue outputs are provided for interfacing the most part of devices requiring current
or live input signals. Two parameters are available for defining the function of these outputs:
respectively P.6001 for output J7 and P.6002 for output J8. To know about the functions that
are available to be assigned to the parameters, see the document [1].

“Current Loop” adjustments can be selected through the Dipswitches SW1 and SW2. Available
configurations:
 From 0 to +20mA
 -10mA to +10mA
 -20mA to +20mA

Trimmers TR2 and/or TR4, respectively for analogue outputs 1 and 2, are factory set for a
value centring referred to the current range actually set.
INFORMATION! Modifying the offset trimmers leads to a deviation of the whole current
value v/s the range centring.
Correct values:
Range +20mA ±20mA ±10mA
50% piloting 10mA 0mA 0mA
The output for the device in "current loop" is located between pin +1 for positive and pin -4 for
negative.
A live output can be obtained by using one of the adjustable outputs in current. In order to
obtain a live output, you need to insert an adequately rated resistor/trimmer in parallel with the
Current Loop line. Modes are listed in the following paragraphs.
By bridging pin 2 and pin 3 of connectors J7 and/or J8, the trimmers TR1 and/or TR3 (0...1000
Ohm) are enabled. This allows to obtain a live output with positive (+) pole on pin 1 and
negative (-) pole on pin 4 of connectors J7 and/or J8.
WARNING! Carefully consider the resistor and the dipswitch configuration, as the max.
voltage range is ±11 Vdc.
INFORMATION! In case use of an external trimmer or resistor is required, pin 2 and pin 3
of connectors J7 and/or J8 shall be devoid of connections.
To get a live output, it is necessary to insert a resistor or a trimmer resistor in parallel (positive
pole (+) pin 1, negative pole (-) pin 4 of J7 and/orJ8 connector) on the "current loop" line.

WARNING! Take all required precautions in order to avoid contact danger on the Current
Loop lines as, depending on the characteristics of the external device, the external resistor or
trimmer could reach extremely high operation voltages.
Below you will find some examples.
Example 1: external resistor
Required voltage: min. – 6 Vdc to max. +6 Vdc.
Select ± 20 mA
V 6V
R   300
The resistance to use is: I 0,02 A
The dissipation power of the resistor must be at least:
P  V * I  6V * 0,02 A  0,12W
The resistor to be used will be 300 Ohm , 1/4 W
Example 2: external trimmer
Required voltage: min. – -1 Vdc to max. +1 Vdc.
Select ± 10 mA
V 1V
Trimmer to be used: R   100
I 0,01A
Minimum trimmer dissipation power: P  V * I  10V * 0,01A  0,1W
The trimmer to be used will be 100 Ohm , 1/4 W
After connecting the trimmer you may perform full scale and/or centering adjustments;
to do so, ensure to use a multimeter with Volt full scale. Measure live output value
from pins +1 and 4 of connector J7 and/or trimmer J8 and adjust to the centering value
by setting controller setpoint values to 0%, 50% or 100%.
INFORMATION! This procedure requires disconnecting any wire that can affect
the value.
Example 3: internal trimmer
Required voltage: min. – 0 Vdc to max. 3 Vdc.
Select +20mA
The internal trimmer shall be adjusted to a resistive value of: 150 Ohm
In order to calibrate the trimmer, you must disconnect any wire and/or device that
might affect the reading; using a multimeter with full scale in ohm between the pins 1
and 2 of J7 and/or J8, turn the adjustment screw till reading about 150 Ohm.
In order to verify the full scale range adjustment and the centering value, use a
multimeter with full scale in Volt on pins 1 and 4 of connector J7 and/or J8. With

different controller setpoint values set to 0%, 50% or 100% it is possible to adjust the
setpoint centring through the trimmer TR2 and/or TR4.
INFORMATION! This procedure requires disconnecting any wire that can affect
the value.
The device provides two connectors dedicated to serial communication with other devices.
Connector J16 is the main serial connection for RS232, using one 9 pins male CANON
connector. Connector J14 is the secondary serial connection for RS232 or RS485, using one
4 pins connector. J14 configuration, between RS232 or RS 485, is performed through switches
close to the connector.
INFORMATION! For the functions and protocols implemented, refer to documents [5] and
[4].

INFORMATION! For correct operation of the 2nd Serial in RS232 mode, ensure that switch
S5 is set to OFF.
The serial port J16 can be used in the following two modes that can be selected through
parameter P.0451:
 0: the serial port is set for RS232 and/or RS485 serial communication, using pin 4
(DTR) as a check signal for transmit/receive switching.
 1: the serial port is set for RS232 and/or Modem serial communication. PSTN and/or
GSM modems are supported. The DST4602 provides modem management,
initialization, registration on the network, SMS messages and data calls.

This serial port can be configured using parameters P.0451 (Modbus address), P.0453 (Baud
rate) and P.0454 (parity, data bits and stop bits), P.0470 (Modbus registers order) and P.0476
(delay before answering, in ms).
The serial port J14 can be used only in one mode that can be selected through parameter
P.0471:
 0: the second serial port works exactly as the first one (refer to document [5]).
Exception: it’s not possible to connect a modem to the second serial port.
This serial port can be configured using parameters P.0472 (Modbus address), P.0473 (Baud
rate) and P.0474 (parity, data bits and stop bits), P.0475 (Modbus registers order) and P.0477
(delay before answering, in ms).
P.0470 and P.0475 parameters specify how the information at 32 is broken down to 16-bit
registers provided for by Modbus:
 0-LSWf: by transferring information at 32-bit, the lowest-index Modbus register will

contain the lowest 16 bits of information.
 1-MSWf: by transferring information at 32-bit, the lowest-index Modbus register will

contain the highest 16 bits of information.
P.0476 and P.0477 parameters instead allow inserting a delay (in ms) between the instant at
which DST4602 receives a Modbus query to when it begins transmitting the response.
See the document [5] for a description of these parameters.
This device provides three types of CanBus.
Engine control interface with SAE J1939 and CanBus MTU interface.
The protocol uses the CAN 2.0b layer (with 29 bits extended addresses) as a physical and
data communication layer. The connector used complies with CAN open [7] specifications.
Warning: the golden contacts connector must not be replaced with other models.
Warning: the pins numbering is inverted with respect to the SICES standard for compatibility
with the CAN open connector.

J13 - 2 CAN SH N.C.
The interface is galvanically isolated.
Connector J9 is a standard USB 2.0 Slave. At present, this connector is only used for updating
the device firmware.
Firmware update requires an initial BOOT procedure through the dipswitch SW3 and the
button P1.
J10 connector allows data connection with RS422 differential line between SCM (System
Control Module) device and HMI (Human Machine Interface) panel. The connection cable
used is an Ethernet standard patch cable with direct EIA/TIA 568A connection. This connection
cable is supplied on request; available lengths are 6'8”, 10' and 16'8” max.

DST4602 also provides an ETHERNET interface. See the document[13] for the description of
the interface. This interface can be used to exchange information with the board with
Modbus/TCP protocol: in this case the Modbus address of the device is always "1".

In the OFF/RESET mode, by pressing the STOP button, the board turns on all the warning
lights, therefore allowing testing their functioning. If an output with DOF.3153 function is
configured ("lights test"), also this output is activated: it can be used to turn on any lights
outside the board, and have a single procedure to test the lights.
The backlight lamp is managed by the Genset control module, which switches off the backlight
after a programmable time (P.492) if no buttons are pressed in the meantime.
To light it again, simply press any key (use the SHIFT key that, when alone, does not perform
any operation). It is possible to disable the automatic shutdown of the lamp by setting P.0492
parameter to 0.
If P.0492 is different from zero, the lamp will be off for most of the time: by using P.0493
parameter, it is possible to force the lamp "always on" when the engine is started (in order to
have greater visibility on the measures shown on the display).
Note: with DST4602Evolution and DST4602/P Evolution controllers it is suggested to set

P.0492 to a quite low value (for example 60 seconds) and never force the lamp to “steady on”
when the engine is running: from this point of view, in fact, the colour display is more delicate
and it has to be preserved by reducing the use of the lamp as much as possible.
During engine starting phase, the lamp is automatically turned-off to reduce the power
consumption of the controller board, in order to ensure greater autonomy for the controller
itself in the event of critical conditions of the starter battery.
Depending on the environmental temperature conditions, the contrast may require adjustment
in order to view the display correctly.
 Press SHIFT + LEFT keys to decrease the contrast (lighten).
 Press SHIFT + RIGHT keys to increase the contrast (darken).

The bottom status bar displays some information on the system status. The operating mode
of the board (2a) reflects the position of the key switch.
System status (2b) displays part of the information on page S.01 (STATUS) which is useful for
the operator, as it can be displayed also if other pages are being viewed and in other display
modes.
In some pages, pressing the SHIFT button replaces the bottom status bar for the time the
button is held down with a HELP message. By consecutively pressing the SHIFT key twice
(double click) the message HELP permanently replaces the status bar until the page is
changed or the SHIFT key is pressed twice. If the message is not available, the status bar is
not displayed.
The Evolution controllers are equipped with a colour display. The assignment of the colours is
consistent in all pages:
 GREEN indicates the descriptions
 CYAN indicates measurements and data
 YELLOW indicate setpoints and adjustable measures
 The use of other colours has an aesthetic purpose only, it does not have a specific
meaning.
Note: the example pages shown below refer to DST4602 and DST4602/P controllers. For
DST4602Evolution and DST4602/P Evolution the data format has slightly changes, but the
structure of the pages is the same.
This mode lets you display and change the programming parameters. See the paragraph 0 for
detailed information on programming.
Pages from L.01 to L.07 contain information related to PLC logic and are displayed only if a
valid PLC program is installed on the board. Refer to [12] for information on the PLC.

This page shows the information related to a single PLC block.

In the third line (on the right) the selected block, with the "TYPE-NUMBER" format, is shown.
To select a block, press the ENTER key, then use the UP and DOWN keys to search the
desired block; confirm again with ENTER.
In the next lines all the parameters of the selected block are shown (one line for each
parameter):
 The first column identifies the type of used parameter (input/output).
 The second column identifies the resource associated to the parameter. Normally, the
resources are displayed with SICES encoding (for example, the digital input 1 is
identified as DI_CONTROLLER_01). In the PLC program it is possible to associate
symbols ("nickname") to resources. It is possible to display the symbols in the second
column, instead of SICES codes: press the ENTER key (as to select a different block)
and press the LEFT or RIGHT key; confirm with the ENTER key. See [12] for the
description of SICES codes for the identification of PLC resources.
 The third column shows the current value of the resource. For digital resources, if the
value is displayed in REVERSE, it means that the corresponding parameter is denied.

This page shows the status of all temporary numeric variables (AT_XXX) available for the PLC
program. Several pages that alternate every 2 seconds to display all numeric supports are
available. By holding down the SHIFT key, the rotation of pages is prevented (therefore
keeping the currently displayed page on the display).
In this way, information on the system status is provided. You can scroll through the various
pages using the LEFT and RIGHT buttons.
Page S.01 (STATUS) shows system status information. Part of this information is shown on
the bottom status bar. It contains:

 The possible activation of the various protection OVERRIDES (see 10.5).
 The warning (acquired via CAN-BUS) of the "derating" status of the engine, directly
activated by the control unit of the engine.
 The warning (acquired via CAN-BUS) that the control unit of the engine has
autonomously stopped the engine.
 The warning (acquired via CAN-BUS) that the control unit of the engine has disabled
an engine cylinders bank.
 The reporting of any "limitations" of the active power setpoint for the supply in parallel
with the mains: these limitations are due to anomalous mains voltage or frequency
conditions, or may have been requested from contact (see [3]). If these limitations stop
the engine, another message on this page reports it.
For some of this information also a time is displayed; for example, if power setpoint limitations
are active, but the conditions of the mains no longer require the limitation, the board shows
the seconds remaining to the time when these restrictions will be removed.
This page is automatically displayed in case of a new anomaly. For every anomaly, it is shown:
 Only for DST4602Evolution and DST4602/P Evolution: date and time when the
anomaly occurred.
 A letter that identify the type.
o “A”: alarm (block)
o “D”: deactivation
o “U”: unload
o “W”: warning
 A three digit numeric code that uniquely identify the anomaly. This code flash until it
is acknowledged pressing the “ACK/TEST” pushbutton.
 An alphanumeric description, which depends on the language currently selected and

which in some cases can be customized using the controller parameters.
Only for DST4602Evolution and DST4602/P Evolution: each anomaly is displayed in yellow if
it’s a warning, in red if it’s an unload, a deactivation or a block.
Every fault uses one or two rows of the display LCD (only one line for DST4602Evolution and
DST4602/P Evolution). The fault shown in the highest position is the most recent,
chronologically. If the space available is not enough to display all the faults, only the most
recent will be displayed. In order to see the other, it is required to:
 Use the ENTER button.
 Use the UP and DOWN keys to scroll the anomalies
 Press EXIT to leave the mode
Some anomalies can show additional diagnostic information. This information is automatically
displayed in case of a single active anomaly: if there are several active anomalies, use the
procedure described above to select the individual anomalies and display any additional
diagnostic information about the selected anomaly. The anomalies that have additional
diagnostic information are:

 273 (“incoherent parameters”). It displays an additional message to help
understanding the problem.
 252 ("missing expansion module"). It displays an additional message that identifies

the configured expansion module, but that does not communicate with DST4602.
 253 ("missing analogue measurement"). It displays an additional message that

identifies the acquisition channel and the expansion module from which a measure
should be received, that is actually missing.
 254 ("address duplicated on EXBUS"). It displays an additional message that identifies

the type and address of the expansion module that results as connected twice to
DST4602.
 255 (“connection interrupted with one sensor”). It displays an additional message that
identifies the acquisition channel and the expansion module that are transmitting the
“broken wire” information.
 900 ("inconsistent parameters on PLC"). It displays an additional message to help

understanding the problem.
 198 and 199 ("yellow light" and "red light" from CAN-BUS). In this case the board
shows also the diagnostic codes received from the electronic control unit that controls
the engine. For every diagnostic code it is shown:
o The SPN code (it is a code defined by the SAE J1939 standard, which
identifies the mechanical component that is having the problem).
o The FMI code (it is a code defined by the SAE J1939 standard, which
identifies the type of problem).
o How many times this diagnostic code has been activated (OC).
o The alarm code specific for the type of engine connected (DTC).
o An alphanumeric description (the same in English) of the problem (if

available).
If one or more of the above information is not available, it is replaced by dashes

or not displayed. If there are more active diagnostic codes on the engine at the
same time, they are cyclically alternated on the display every 2 seconds (hold
SHIFT to stop the rotation). The engine diagnostic codes are stored (even if the
engine deactivates them) until the yellow/red CAN-BUS indicator light warning is
acknowledged with the “ACK/TEST” button.
This page contains a lot of information related to DST4602 board:
 Date/time in extended format.
 The temperature inside the board.
 The unique serial number of the board.
 The "internal code": this number should be provided to SICES along with the serial
number to get the temporary "SICES" password for the modification of parameters.
This password is valid for 2 hours of engine running: after this time DST4602
generates a new "internal code", which therefore makes the old password void.
 DST4602 main firmware version (EB0240179XXYY for DST4602 and DST4062/P or

EB0240245XXYY for DST4602Evolution and DST4602/P Evolution).

 The version of the firmware that manages the DST4602 display (EB0220104XXYY for
DST4602 and DST4602/P or EB0240242XXYY for DST4602Evolution and
DST4602/P Evolution).
 The version of the Ethernet interface firmware (if present).
 The currently selected language. It is possible to select a different language from this
page:
o Press the ENTER.
o Use UP and DOWN keys to choose the desired language.
o Confirm with ENTER.
 The code for software options. This code is usually “00”. If software options have been
purchased from SICES (e.g., CBE "Closure Before Excitation" - see [3]) the displayed
value is different from 00.
This page is dedicated to the status of the two serial interfaces and of the ETHERNET
interface. In case of functional problems, please, verify the content of this page.
DST4602 displays the status (idle, ongoing communication, etc.) of each interface. By
connecting a GSM modem to the main serial interface, the board displays additional
information, such as the telephone company and the level of the signal.
Only for serial interfaces, DST4602 also displays the error counter in reception of
communications. It is possible to reset the single counter directly from this page:
 Use the vertical UP and DOWN scroll keys to select the desired counter.
 Press and hold ACK/TEST + EXIT keys for a few seconds until the board shows the
message "RESET/DEFAULT".
 Use the EXIT button.
For the Ethernet interface, the controller displays the MAC and IP addresses.
This page is dedicated to the displaying of the status of the three DST4602 CAN-BUS
interfaces:
 CAN0: dedicated to communication with engine electronic controls (ECU).
 CAN1: dedicated to communication with the other SICES boards (PMCB).
 CAN2: dedicated to communication with expansion modules (EXBUS).
For each interface DST4602 shows:
 The status of the interface. Three statuses are possible:
o ERROR-ACTIVE: normal operations
o ERROR-PASSIVE: the hardware interface is working, but there are problems

in communication.
o BUS-OFF: Genset has interrupted the connection to the CAN-BUS due to too
many errors.

 The present value of the transmission and reception error counters, managed directly
by the CAN-BUS interface.
 The maximum value reached by transmission and reception error counters, managed
directly by the CAN-BUS interface. It is possible to reset the maximum values with the
following procedure:
o Use the ENTER button.
o Select the desired CAN-BUS interface with UP and DOWN keys.
o Press and hold ACK/TEST + EXIT keys for a few seconds until the board
shows the message "RESET/DEFAULT".
o Use the EXIT button.
These pages are dedicated to the displaying of the status of the digital inputs configured as
"generic statuses". The operator has the possibility to acquire the digital status information
(1/0, on/off, true/false, etc.) that are not in any way related to the functioning of the board, and
shown on the board display. It can also group them (by any standard), and display them on
one of the eight available pages.
The division of the statuses on the different pages is done via the function configured in the
digital inputs:
 DIF.3201 and DIF.3202: page S.06.
As you can see, there are two functions to associate the digital inputs to each page: by using
the even function (for example DIF.3202 for S.06 page), DST4602 will force the page
displaying when the input is activated.
DST4602 shows one status information per line: it shows the text configured for the digital
input (P.2003 for digital input 1), followed by the logic status of the input ("1" or "0"). If more
than 14 statuses are associated to one of these pages, DST4602 displays them all, by rotating
them on the display every two seconds: hold down the SHIFT key to stop the rotation on the
current displaying.

This page displays the status of all board and expansion modules digital inputs (the latter ones
displayed only if properly configured with P.0141 parameter).
It is possible to display the inputs in three different ways:
 Logic status: DST4602 shows "1" for all inputs that are active from the logical point
of view. DST4602 normally considers an input active when the related terminal is
connected to the battery negative. It is anyway possible to indicate to DST4602,
individually for each input, to consider an input as active when its terminal is floating
(reverse polarity, see P.2000 parameter for inputs 1...16 of DST4602, and the
equivalents for the other inputs).
 Physical status: DST4602 shows "1" for all inputs whose terminal is connected to the
battery negative. The display is in REVERSE.
 By function: In this mode, DST4602 shows a list of all the functions actually
associated with the digital inputs, and for each function it indicates whether the input
that acquires it is active ("1") from the logical point of view. It is therefore possible, for
example, to verify whether the feedback of the switch is active, without knowing which
board or expansion module input acquires it. DST4602 shows a function for each line.
If there are not enough lines for all functions, DST4602 shows them by rotating them
every two seconds: hold down the SHIFT key to stop the rotation on the current view.
It is possible to change the display mode of the digital inputs by pressing the ENTER key.
This page displays the status of all board and expansion modules digital outputs (the latter
ones displayed only if properly configured with P.0141 parameter).
It is possible to view the outputs in three different ways:
 Logic status: DST4602 shows "1" for all outputs that are active from the logical point
of view, that is, when the function associated with the output requires its activation.
Normally, DST4602 activates the internal control relay or transistor when the function
associated with the output requires its activation. It is anyway possible to indicate to
DST4602, individually for each output, to activate the internal relay or transistor when
the function associated with the output does not require its activation (reverse polarity,
see P.3000 parameter for output 1 ... 16 of DST4602, and the equivalents for the
other outputs).
 Physical status: DST4602 shows "1" for all the outputs whose internal relay or
transistor is activated. The display is in REVERSE.
 By function: In this mode, DST4602 shows a list of all the functions actually
associated to the digital outputs, and for each function it indicates whether the output
controlling it is active ("1") from the logical point of view. It is therefore possible, for
example, to verify if the control to close a switch is activated, without knowing which
board or expansion modules output actually controls it. DST4602 shows a function for
each line. If there are not enough lines for all functions, DST4602 shows them by
rotating them every two seconds: hold down the SHIFT key to stop the rotation on the
current view.
It is possible to change the displaying mode of the digital outputs by pressing the ENTER key.
This page displays the status of all board and expansion modules analogue inputs (the latter
ones displayed only if properly configured with P.0142 and P.0143 parameters).
 For the analogue inputs of the board, DST4602 shows the value in “Vdc” or in “Ohm”.

 For DITHERM and DIGRIN expansion modules analogue inputs, DST4602 shows the
value in “°C” or in “°F” (P.0191 parameter).
 For DIVIT expansion modules analogue inputs, DST4602 shows the value as supplied
by the module, by assuming that it is a percentage.
DST4602 also shows the "Vdc" voltage measured on J27-5 terminal (reference for the engine
analogues), even if it is not an analogue input used for to the board logics.
If all possible expansion modules are used, there are not enough lines to display all analogue
inputs. DST4602 shows them by rotating them every two seconds: hold down the SHIFT key
to stop the rotation on the current view.
This page displays the status of all board analogue outputs and expansion modules (the latter
ones only displayed if properly configured with P.0144 parameter). Output values are always
shown in %.
It is possible to display the analogue outputs in two different ways:
 Logic status: DST4602 shows the list of all the board or expansion modules outputs,
with their related values.
 By function : In this mode, DST4602 shows a list of all the functions actually
associated with analogue outputs, and for each function it indicates the value (%) of
the associated output. It is therefore possible, for example, to verify the speed
regulator control, without knowing which board or expansion module analogue output
actually controls it. DST4602 shows a function for each line. If there are not enough
lines for all functions, DST4602 shows them by rotating them every two seconds: hold
down the SHIFT key to stop the rotation on the current view.
It is possible to change the displaying mode of the analogue outputs by pressing the ENTER
key.
This page is displayed only if the system provides the continuous parallel with the mains
(P.0802). It displays the status of all protections for the parallel with the mains, plus some
necessary measures to immediately assess the status of the mains.
On the first lines of the page, DST4602 shows a wording for each parallel protection with the
configured mains. The wording is displayed in reverse if, at that time, the protection has been
triggered. The possible wordings are:
 DI: parallel protection of with the external mains, acquired by a digital input configured
with DIF.3103 function.
 27<<: mains low voltage protection (P.0912 and P.0913 parameters).
 27<: mains low voltage protection (P.0916 and P.0917 parameters).
 27T: mains low voltage protection, triggering time linked to the size of the voltage drop
(P.1211...P.1218 parameters).
 27Q: mains low voltage protection con with directional reactive (27 U< & Q) (P.1231
...P.1239 parameters).

with its unit of measure, but it is also shown as a percentage of the nominal size, viewed as
well:
 Frequency.
 Phase-to-phase voltages.
 Positive sequence voltage (also shows the angle of the vector).
 Positive sequence current (also shows the angle of the vector).
 Positive sequence reactive power.
The last three measures are used by “27 U< & Q” protection.
This page is shown only if the controller is configured to communicate via CANBUS with the

This page is displayed only if the controller is configured to communicate via CANBUS
with two D-PRO protection relays (parameter P.0145 = 2). It displays all the
measurements received by the protection relay. See the previous paragraphs.
This page is displayed only if the controller is configured to communicate via CANBUS
with two D-PRO protection relays (parameter P.0145 = 2). It displays the status of the
relay protections. The acronyms of the configured protections are displayed. See the
previous paragraphs.
This mode displays all the information on the measurements taken by the Gen-set control
module on the electric lines.
This page shows, in a single-line format, the system scheme. The shown items depend on the
type of system (P.0802). The following can be displayed:
 The symbol of the generator (if there is voltage on a dark background).
 GCB switch.
 MGCB switch.
 Users (if powered, on a dark background).
 MCB breaker.
 The mains (flashing if there is no voltage).
 The symbol of a possible transformer (between the generator and GCB switch or
between GCB switch and the system).
 The setpoints for the active and reactive power for the supply in parallel with the mains
(or the setpoint for the DROOP if this mode is active).
The symbol of the switches also contains an indication of the fact that it is possible to use
synchronization to control its closure (empty dots) or not (filled dots). Moreover, the board,
autonomously shows the symbol of the interlocks among the switches for the systems that do
not include the parallel. It can also display the symbol of a commutator (SIRCOVER) instead
of the two switches, if properly configured.
In addition, where possible, DST4602 shows:
 The average voltage, the frequency and the active power of the mains.
 The average voltage, the frequency, the active power and the power factor of the
generator.
 The active power and the power factor on the parallel bars (total of generators).
 The active power and the power factor of the users.
Finally, where possible, DST4602 shows some arrows that indicate the direction of the power
flow in the various branches of the system.

DST4602 independently determines (based on the configuration of the system) what should
be displayed: the operator has however the possibility, by setting P.0494 parameter, to hide
some elements or to force the displaying of others. See the document [1] for a detailed
description of the parameter.
It is generally possible to modify from this page the setpoints for the power or the DROOP (if
displayed), unless these setpoint are acquired from analogue inputs or from any MC100 board
connected on PMCB. To modify the setpoints:
 Press ENTER key: the selected setpoint will be displayed in REVERSE.
 Use UP and DOWN keys (possibly together with the SHIFT key) to change the
setpoint value.
 Use the LEFT, RIGHT or ACK/TEST to select another setpoint.
 Press ENTER or EXIT to stop the setpoint modification procedure.
Note: if no keys are pressed for 60 seconds, the procedure to modify the setpoints is
automatically terminated.
This page displays the main electrical data acquired by DST4602 mains/bars sensor (J24 or
J19 connector). The title of the page is suitable to what configured with P.0126 parameter (0-
BARS, 1-MAINS).
The number of displayed information depends on the single phase/three-phase configuration

of the system (P.0119). Furthermore, some pieces of information are not shown if the neutral
line is not connected to the board (P.0129).
The information that can be displayed is:
 Frequency.
 Phase voltages.
 The measured voltage between the neutral and the battery negative.
 The rotation direction of phases (clockwise CW or counterclockwise CCW).
 The three current measurements (if the current transformers are on users and the
users are connected to the mains - P.0124).
 Any measurement of neutral current (if the current transformers are on users and the
users are connected to the mains, or if it is on the mains - P.0130).
 Any differential current measurement.
This page shows the main electrical measures acquired DST4602 from the generator (J23 or
J18 connector).
The number of displayed information depends on the single phase/three-phase configuration

of the system (P.0111). Furthermore, some pieces of information are not shown if the neutral
line is not connected to the board (P.0128).
The information that can be displayed is:
 Frequency.

 Phase voltages.
 The measured voltage between the neutral and the battery negative.
 The rotation direction of phases (clockwise CW or counterclockwise CCW).
 The three measurements of current (if the current transformers are on the generator,
or on users and the users are connected to the generator - P.0124).
 Any measurement of neutral current (if the current transformer is on the generator, or
on users and the users are connected to the generator - P.0130).
 Any differential current measurement.
Page displays the total and phase power values, the active, reactive and apparent power
values, and the power factor. If the current transformers are positioned on users (P.0124 = 1),
the board shows (bottom) also the symbol of the generator or of the mains to indicate whether,
at that time, the users are connected to the mains or to the generator.
This page displays the energy counters managed by the board. Counters for active energy
(partial and total) and reactive energy (partial and total) supplied by the generator are
available. Moreover, if the current transformers are positioned on users (P.0124 = 1), there
are as many counters for the energy measured on the mains.
It is possible to individually reset partial counters directly from this page:
 Use UP, DOWN, LEFT and RIGHT keys to select the counter to be reset: the selected
counter will be displayed in REVERSE.
 Press and hold ACK/TEST + EXIT keys for 5 seconds: the board will display a
confirmation message and reset the counter.
 Press the ENTER key to finish the reset procedure.
This page displays some additional voltage and current measures.
On this page the following are displayed:
 The measurement of auxiliary current, when configured as a "General purpose"

(P.0131 = 1) or "Power measurement on the mains" (P.0131=4). In the other cases,
this measure is shown on M.02 or M.03 pages.
 Positive and negative sequence vectors of currents.
 Positive and negative sequence vectors for generator voltages.
This page shows all the information necessary during the synchronization process. The board
shows:
 Voltages, frequency and direction of rotation of the generator.
 Voltages, frequency and direction of rotation of the mains or parallel bars.
 The phase difference between the two three-phases.

 The voltage difference between the two three-phases (only for Evolution controllers).
 The frequency difference between the two three-phases (only for Evolution
controllers).
 Engine speed (RPM)
DST4602 also displays a synchronoscope (but only during the actual synchronization
procedure). Besides graphically showing the phase difference, the synchronoscope contains
four lights:
 The upper left light indicates (when lit) an excessive voltage difference, which prevents
closing the switch.
 The upper right light indicates (when lit) an excessive frequency difference, which
prevents closing the switch.
 The lower central light indicates (when lit) that the direction of rotation of the two three-
phases is different, and therefore the switch cannot be closed.
 The central light, instead, is turned on when DST4602 recognizes the “synchronized”
status and controls the closing of the switch.
See the document [3] for the description of the synchronization procedure.
In the lower part of the window, the board shows two couples of values:
 "RIF” column DST4602 shows the present value of speed and voltage references (that
can be used for manual sync, see below).
 "CMD" column: they are the current controls for the speed and tension control.
The values in the two columns differ if customized conversion curves or limitations on the
analogue outputs used to control speed and voltage regulators are employed (see document
[3]).
DST4602 also allows performing the manual synchronization procedure, where the engine
speed of the alternator voltage are regulated by the operator and not by the board. This
function is available if P.0848 parameter is set to zero. To adjust voltage and frequency, the
operator should:
 Use the LEFT or RIGHT keys to select the reference to be modified (voltage or
frequency). The selected reference is displayed in REVERSE. Note: it is not possible
to select a reference if its value is acquired from an analogue input.
 Use the UP and DOWN keys (possibly together with the SHIFT key) to change the
selected reference (and consequently the frequency or voltage of the generator).
 Press ENTER or EXIT to finish the modification process.
Note: if no keys are pressed for 60 seconds, the procedure to modify the setpoints is
The operator should press the GCB key to close the switch: DST4602 will close only if it
recognizes the "synchronized" condition.
This page displays the most useful information to monitor the operations of the generator in
parallel with other generators or to the mains. DST4602 displays:
 The average phase-to-phase voltage of the generator.
 The frequency of the generator.

 The three currents of the generator.
 The active and reactive power supplied by the generator.
 The power factor and the cos(ɸ) (this latter one only for applications in parallel with
the mains).
The difference between "power factor" and "cos(ɸ)" is in the calculation method. The "power
factor" is calculated from the measured active power and apparent power (closing of the
triangle): it does not considers any harmonic content of voltage or frequency. The second is
calculated starting from the measured active power and reactive power.
In the lower part of the window, the board shows the active and reactive power present
reference value (if available, when the generators are in parallel with the mains or with other
generators). They are instantaneous values; DST4602 should act to ensure that the generator
delivers exactly that active and reactive power. They are calculated from instant by instant, by
applying any configured loading and unloading phases (P.0874, P.0875 and P.0876): for this
reason, the board also displays the final reference for the active power, which is what the
generators will have to deliver at the end of loading and unloading phases.
This page shows and allows to change (in just one point) all the adjustable setpoints for the
plant, related to voltage and speed regulators. It is useful because page M.01 only shows the
main setpoints in a specific moment. For example, if a plant can work in both BASE LOAD and
DROOP mode, page M.01 will only show the setpoints related to the current operating mode,
while page M.09 will show all of them: in this way, the operator can adjust the setpoints before
changing the operating mode. The adjustable setpoints are:
 Speed (P.0840) and voltage (P.0867) offsets.
 Frequency (P.1604) and voltage (P.1654) setpoints.
 No-load frequency (P.0974) and voltage (P.0986) for DROOP.
 Active power (P.0858) and cosfi (P.0860) setpoints for the SYSTEM BASE LOAD
mode.
 Active power setpoint for the LOCAL BASE LOAD mode (P.0884 and P.0902).
 Active power setpoint for the IMPORT/EXPORT mode (P.0888).
 Cosfi setpoint for the LOCAL BASE LOAD and IMPORT/EXPORT modes (P.0894).
The setpoints are displayed only if they are not acquired by analogue inputs and if they are
set for the plant configuration.
This page (available from version 00.70) shows (in just one point) all the adjustable setpoints
for the plant acquired by analogue inputs, related to voltage and speed regulators. It is similar
to page M.02. The adjustable setpoints are:
 Speed and voltage offsets.
 Frequency and voltage setpoints.
 No-load frequency and voltage for DROOP.
 Active power and cosfi setpoints for the SYSTEM BASE LOAD mode.
 Active power setpoint for the LOCAL BASE LOAD mode.

 Cosfi setpoint for the LOCAL BASE LOAD mode.
The setpoints are displayed only if they are used in the current plant configuration.
In this mode, the measurements acquired from the engine are displayed in full.
It is the main page: it displays the main dimensions of the engine detected by the analogue
sensors or directly by the engine electronic control unit (ECU) via CAN0 CAN-BUS.

It is possible to reset so counters individually directly from this page (including those managed
by ECU):
 Use the UP and DOWN keys to select the counter to be reset: the selected counter
will be displayed in REVERSE.
This page shows all engine temperature measurements. Temperatures can be acquired from
the analogue inputs or directly from the engine electronic control unit (ECU) through CAN0

counter will be displayed in REVERSE.
This page contains information relating to the fuel pump. It is displayed only if a board output
is configured to control the pump (DOF.01032 function). See paragraph 9.4.13dedicated to
the fuel pump.
This page shows the current status of the pump (off/on) and the request arising from the
management logic (starting, stopping, in hysteresis).

If the tank level is acquired via an analogue input, the board shows also a bar that graphically
indicates the current level, showing activation/stopping thresholds of the pump as well.
It also shows the control mode (“Manual-OFF”, “Manual-ON” and “Automatic”). It is possible
to change the mode from this page, see paragraph 9.4.13.
These pages are dedicated to the displaying of the measurements acquired from the analogue
inputs configured as "generic sensor". The operator has the option to acquire measures that
are not in any way linked to the board, and to show them on the display. It can also group
them (by any standard), and display them on one of the eight available pages.
The division of the measures on the different pages is done via the function configured in the
analogue inputs:
 AIF.2001: page E.07.
 AIF.2003: page E.08.
 AIF.2005: page E.09.
 AIF.2007: page E.10.
 AIF.2009: page E.11.
 AIF.2011: page E.12.
 AIF.2013: page E.13.
 AIF.2015: page E.14.
DST4602 shows a measure per line: it shows the text configured for the analogue input
(P.4002 for the analogue input 1), followed by the measure. If more than 14 measures are
associated to one of these pages, DST4602 shows all of them, by rotating them on the display
every two seconds: hold down the SHIFT key to stop the rotation on the current view.
This page is dedicated to the information acquired via CAN0 CAN-BUS from a specific
customer's control unit. This page is visible only if P.0700 parameter is configured with 200 or
201 values. It shows the measures that DST4602 acquires via CAN0 CAN-BUS from these
control units.
In this mode, the measures and the statuses acquired by PMCB CAN-BUS, which connects
all SICES devices, are displayed in full.

This page shows a list of all SICES devices connected to PMCB network.
In the upper part, DST4602 shows the addresses of all MC100 boards connected to PMCB
CAN-BUS. In the lower part, it shows the addresses of all generators control boards
(DST4602, DST4601/PX, GC500) connected to PMCB CAN-BUS.
This page shows detailed information for all generators control boards connected to PMCB
CAN-BUS. DST4602 uses one line for each board. If there are more than 10 boards, DST4602
shows all of them by rotating them every 2 seconds: hold the SHIFT key to stop the rotation
on the current view.
For each generator the following are shown (from left to right):
 Column 1: board address
 Column 2:
o A "*" if the generator is available for the "load management" (see [3]). Starting
from version 00.73, the controller shows the configured priority of the genset
instead of the “*”.
o Engine nominal power (MDPs, kW).
o The supplied active power (kW).
o The supplied reactive power (kvar).
o The counter of the active energy produced (kWh, Evolution only)
o The counter of the reactive energy produced (kvarh, Evolution only)
o Engine operation hours.
The information in this column are displayed in REVERSE if they refer to this
DST4602.
 Column 3: the status of the generator (idle, running, etc.). The information in this
column is displayed in REVERSE if the generators are not available (for example, if
there are any active shutdowns or if it is in OFF/RESET). For the Evolution controllers,
the same conditions are in red.
This page displays the totals calculated on all generator control boards connected on PMCB
CAN-BUS. The following are shown:
 The total rated power of supplying generators (MDPt, kW).
 The total supplied active power (kW).
 The total supplied reactive power (kvar).
 The total active energy (kWh, sum of the energy counters of all generator control
boards).
 The total reactive energy (kvarh, sum of the energy counters of all generator control
boards).
This page is dedicated to the "load management" function (see [3]). The term "load
management" refers to the capacity of the system to start/stop the generators to have the

strictly necessary running generators to supply the users (with a little margin, but not too
much). This page shows all relevant information for this function.
The displayed information is:
 The enabling for this board of the "load management" function.
 The currently selected "load management" mode (determining the criterion by which
the generators to be started are chosen).
 The "master" generator (it is the generator with highest priority, the one that should
never be stopped). For some "load management" modes this information is not
displayed.
 Depending on the selected mode, the board can display in how many hours the
system will select a new "master" generator.
 The list of addresses of the generator control boards, ordered by priority (first the
generators with higher priority, the ones that will be stopped last). Starting from version
00.73, if the currently selected load function mode is “4-Manual priority” and there are
different gensets with the same priority, they are enclosed into round brackets to
highlight that they will be started/stopped tighter. For some "load management" modes
this information is not displayed.
 The power supplied by the generators (percentage of the maximum power the
currently supplying generators can withstand).
 The threshold (%) to be compared with the power calculated in the previous point,
beyond which a new generator should be started (or it is necessary to switch to the
higher combination of generators at rated power level)
 The power supplied by the generators (percentage of the maximum one) calculated
assuming that the generator with lowest priority is stopped (or that the combination of
generators having the lowest rated power is stopped).
 The threshold (%) to be compared with the power calculated at the previous point,
below which the generators with the lowest priority should be stopped (or it is
necessary to switch to the lower combination of generators at a rated power level).
It is possible to manually select the "master" generator directly from this page:
 Use UP and DOWN keys to select the address of the required "master" generator.
 Confirm with ENTER key.
This mode allows the displaying of all the records managed by the board. See the paragraph
8 for detailed information on records.

The controller manages a high number of parameters that allow the manufacturer, the installer
or the final user to configure it in order to adapt it to specific system requirements. This
document does not contain the parameters list (even though many of them are quoted in the
description of the controller functions); the list is available in the document:[1] where they’re
described in detail. In this document the general programming structure and the operating
procedure to read and/or modify parameters are described.
WARNING: Assigning an incorrect value to one or more parameters can cause

malfunctions, damage to things and/or injury to people. The parameters must only be changed
by qualified personnel. Parameters can be password protected (refer to par.7.2).
To each programming parameter the following are associated:
 A four digit numeric code (allowing identification independently of the selected

language).
 A description, varying according to the selected language.
 A protection level
Parameters are grouped in menus, organized in a tree structure (a menu can contain more
menus). Mixed menus do not exist: a menu cannot contain both parameters and other menus.
To each menu are associated:
 A numeric code (allowing identification independently of the selected language). In

case of secondary menus, the code consists of the main menu code, plus a dot and
its own code.
 A description, varying according to the selected language.
Access to programming mode can be controlled through four different protection levels, listed
in priority order.
 SICES password
 MANUFACTURER password
 INSTALLER password
 USER password
Each parameter of the board is associated with a level of protection (in the document [1] this
combination is indicated in the column "ACC" with a letter "S" to indicate SICES level, "C" for
the manufacturer, "I" for the installer and "U" for the end user).
A parameter associated with SICES level can only be modified by setting SICES password. A
parameter associated with the manufacturer's level can be modified by the same manufacturer
(or with SICES password). A parameter associated with the installer's level can be changed
by the manufacturer and the installer (and with SICES password). A parameter associated
with the user's level can be changed by the manufacturer, the installer and the user (and with
SICES password).
The general rule provides that parameters can only be modified when the controller board is
in “OFF/RESET”. Some parameters are an exception and can be modified regardless of the
status of the controller board, including with the engine running. As a general rule, if a

parameter cannot be modified, it will be enclosed between < and > while, if it can be modified,
it is enclosed between [ and ] : that is, valid also for the restrictions due to password.
If the operator has to modify a parameter, he/she must input first the proper password in the
parameter P.0000 (1.1.1 Authentication”), so that the controller can recognize it as
“Manufacturer”, “Installer” or “End User”. After completing this operation, it will be possible to
modify the required parameters. The access code entered remains saved in P.0000 for about
10 minutes since the end of programming. After this time, the code is automatically reset to
zero and must be re-entered to access programming again.
It is possible to customize the password by using P.0001 (manufacturer), P.0002 (installer)

and P.0003 (user) parameters, available in the "1.1.2 Configuring password" menu. Value "0”
for these parameters means no password set. SICES password, on the other hand, is a special
password, pre-assigned at the factory and supplied with the board. The password supplied
with the board is always valid. On request, SICES can supply a second password, however
only valid for two hours of engine operations. After this time, a new password must be obtained
from SICES.
To get the password, the operator should request it to SICES indicating the serial number of
the board along with the code inside of the board displayed on S.03 page, as shown below.
S.03 controller STATUS  20/07/06 18:23
Serial number: 00000BAAC11D

Internal code 2415
If a password gets lost, it is possible to reconfigure it by logging in with the higher-level

password. This is the reason why we recommend to set at least the “Manufacturer” password
(P.0001): actually, in case someone else sets up this password, or a lower level one (even
unwillingly) without providing information, no parameter modification will be possible anymore.
On the other hand, knowing the “manufacturer” password will allow to cancel or modify the
other passwords. Contact our service centre if the “manufacturer” password is lost.
The following examples show all the combinations for passwords assignment.
Example 1: P.0001=0 P.0002=0 P.0003=0
Any operator is seen as a "manufacturer”, with no need of setting anything in P.0000.

Therefore, all parameters, excluding critical ones, can be modified by anyone (controller's
default mode).
Example 2: P.0001=0 P.0002=0 P.0003=UUU
No parameter modification is allowed. When user enters the “UUU” code in P.0000 the
board consider it “manufacturer” because there is no password for “installer” and
“manufacturer”. After entering this code, all parameters, excluding critical ones, can be
modified.
Example 3: P.0001=0 P.0002=III P.0003=UUU
No parameter modification is allowed. When entering “UUU” in P.0000, the operator is

identified as “User” and is allowed to modify all parameters associated to the end user. By
entering “III”, the operator is identified as "installer” but, as no password is associated to
the manufacturer, the controller identifies him/her as "manufacturer”. After entering this
code, all parameters, excluding critical ones, can be modified.
Example 4: P.0001=CCC P.0002=III P.0003=UUU
No parameter modification is allowed. When entering “UUU” in P.0000, the operator is

identified as “User” and is allowed to modify all parameters associated to the end user. By
entering “III”, the operator is identified as "installer” and is allowed to modify all parameters

associated to “installer” and “user”. When entering “CCC”, the operator is identified as
"manufacturer” and is allowed to modify all controller parameters, excluding critical ones.
Example 5: P.0001=CCC P.0002=0 P.0003=0
As no password is associated to user and Installer, programming the relevant parameters

is allowed without entering anything in P.0000. To modify the parameters associated to
Manufacturer, simply enter “CCC” in P.0000.
Example 6: P.0001=0 P.0002=III P.0003=0
As no password is associated to user, programming the relevant parameters is allowed

without entering anything in P.0000. When entering “III” in P.0000 the operator is identified
as “installer” but, as no password is associated to “manufacturer”, the controller identifies
him/her as "manufacturer”. After entering this code, all parameters, excluding critical ones,
can be modified.
Example 7: P.0001=CCC P.0002=III P.0003=0
As no password is associated to user, programming the relevant parameters is allowed

without entering anything in P.0000. By entering “III” in P.0000, the operator is identified as
"installer” and is allowed to modify all parameters associated to installer and user. When
entering “III” in P.0000, the operator is identified as “manufacturer” and is allowed to modify
all parameters, excluding critical ones.
Example 8: P.0001=CCC P.0002=0 P.0003=UUU
No parameter modification is allowed. When entering the “UUU” in P.0000, the operator is
identified as user but, as no password is associated to “installer”, the controller identifies
him/her as "installer”. Therefore, he/she is allowed to modify all controller parameters
associated to installer and user. When entering “III” in P.0000, the operator is identified as
“manufacturer” and is allowed to modify all parameters, excluding critical ones.
A parameter value can always be read but it can only be modified in case the P.0000
contains a proper password. Parameters P.0001, P.0002, P.0003 and P.0469 are
excluded: actually, they are not displayed in case P.0000 does not contain a proper
password.
Parameter P.0469 – (serial ports password) can only be viewed and/or modified through
operator panel and with at least Installer rights.

This procedure will describe the keyboard and display use.

Here below is a brief description of the organization of the menus:
 The "1 - SYSTEM" menu allows first of all to indicate the type of system, and how the
board is connected to the engine, to the generator and to the system in general. In
this menu it is possible to set the nominal values of all variables: it is essential to set
these parameters correctly, because almost all the thresholds to activate the
protections are expressed as a percentage of them. In this menu it is also possible to
individually configure each input and output channel, both digital and analogue, of the
board and its expansions.
 Working sequence configuration can be modified through the menu "2–SEQUENCE".

In this menu it is possible to set thresholds, acquisition times and enable/disable
functions related to operation sequences.
 Protections management is accessible through the menu "3-PROTECTION". As to

this, it is important to know that, in order to enable/disable a protection, you may simply
modify the associated time, leaving the threshold unchanged: by setting the time to
zero, the protection is disabled. However, this general rule provides some exceptions.
For a description of individual disable modes, refer to the chapter about anomalies.
 All operations not related to system, sequence and protections configuration, can be
performed through the menu "4-AUXILIARY FUNCTIONS". This menu contains other
menus used for configuring engine's auxiliary functions, history logs and serial
communication.
 The "6 -PLC" menu allows modifying the setpoint values defined in the PLC program.
It is displayed only if a valid PLC program is installed on the board, which uses at least
one setpoint.
 The "7 -CAN- BUS" menu is dedicated to the CAN-BUS communication with the
electronic controls of engines. It allows configuring how the board should
communicate on the CAN-BUS to acquire measurements from the engine and
possibly to send controls.
 The "8- PARALLEL" menu allows setting all the parameters related to the operations
in parallel (see the document [3]).

Programming is accessible in any controller operation status. The modification of the
parameters is generally only possible with the board in OFF/RESET mode. Only some
parameters can be modified even during system operation. To enter programming mode, use
the UP and DOWN buttons till the base PROGRAMMING mode (P.03) screen is displayed.
Inside a mode that restricts the use of the vertical scroll keys, it could be necessary to press
one or more times the EXIT key before being able to use these keys to select P.03 page (this
situation may arise during the displaying of the records or during special operations such as,
for example, the setting of the fuel pump control mode).
Then, press ENTER to access programming
The menu or variable selected before the last exit from programming are automatically
displayed when starting the procedure (the main menu is displayed the first time you access).
This is true if the programming procedure has been previously aborted by changing the
operation mode of the controller board in MAN or AUTO or after maximum time with no
programming operation has elapsed or keeping the EXIT button pressed for more than two
seconds.
The second line of the display always shows the name of the current menu, followed by the
number of the selected menu item and the number of items in the menu. Menu items
(submenus) are displayed in the following lines. The selected item is displayed in REVERSE.
Use the UP and DOWN buttons to scroll through the menu to the lower and upper index items
(pressing the UP button allows to directly cycle from the first item to the last one).
The next-to-last line of the display shows the level of protection (SICES, manufacturer, installer
or user) accredited to the operator.
Press the ENTER button to access the selected (highlighted) sub-menu. Press the EXIT button
to leave the menu (back to the previous menu or to the base screen if exiting programming in
the main menu).
The second line of the display always shows the name of the current menu, followed by the
number of the selected menu item and the number of items in the menu. The following lines
are used to display single parameters. In detail:
 The third line shows the unique code of the parameter (four decimal digits) followed
by the description in the current language.
 The fourth line shows, right-aligned, the value of the variable, in square brackets (or
between the symbols "<" and ">" if the modification of the value is not allowed). For
some parameters, the next line shows a value in some way linked to the current value
of the parameter. For example, if the nominal power of the generator (P.0106) is being
set, on the next line the rated current of the system is displayed, obtained from the
rated power and the rated voltage of the generator. Sometimes, this additional
measure can be displayed for showing its absolute value, when the parameter is a
percentage of other values.
The next-to-last line of the display shows the level of protection (SICES, manufacturer, installer
or user) accredited to the operator.
Use the UP and DOWN buttons to scroll through the menu to the lower and upper index items
(pressing the UP button allows to directly cycle from the first item to the last one). Press the
ENTER button to enable the parameter modification procedure (see following paragraph).
Press the EXIT button to leave the menu (back to the previous menu).

You may only modify parameters displayed between square brackets “[” e “]”. A parameter
between (major/minor) symbols “<” e “>” cannot be modified. In this case, you may require to
reset an appropriate password and/or switch the key to OFF/RESET mode.
In case modifying the displayed parameter is allowed, press the ENTER button; the square
brackets enclosing the value will blink to signal that the modification is in progress. Press again
the ENTER button to confirm the new value; press the EXIT button to abort and return to the
original value.
Parameter types are the following:
 Numerics: the value can be modified by pressing the UP and/or DOWN buttons, in
order to increase or decrease one unit from the most rightwards decimal digit (if you
press the above buttons plus SHIFT, the figure will be increased or decreased by ten
units at a time). The change is cyclical: increasing over the maximum value when will
lead to the minimum one and vice versa.
 Numeric with selection from a predefined list (for example, P.0453 parameter,
which selects the baud rate for the serial port): what indicated above for the numerical
parameters is valid, by considering that UP and DOWN keys allow switching to the
next/previous value in the predefined list (with the SHIFT key it is possible to shift to
the value ten positions before/after the current one).
 Numeric with selection from the list of number-string couples (for example,
P.0802 parameter, which configures the type of system): same as for the previous
point.
 Time parameters: same as numerical parameters, with one exception: the controller
manages the increment/decrement maintaining valid values (example: increasing
from “00.59”, the value goes to “01.00” and not to “00.60”).
 Strings (e.g. telephone numbers): in this case the display shows also a cursor
indicating the currently selected character in the string. The UP and/or DOWN buttons
work on the selected character (passing to the one after/before in the ASCII table. If
you press the above buttons plus SHIFT, you will move to the one 10 units
before/after). The LEFT and RIGHT buttons allow to select the character to be
modified. You can only set the ASCII characters from 32 (Space) to 127 (Escape). It
is not possible to set extended ASCII characters (over 127) and the control ones (from
zero to 31).
 Bits: Some parameters are managed with bits. Each bit set to 1 enables a function
and each bit set to 0 disables a function. They can be used up to 16 bits. A
hexadecimal value is assigned to each bit. The parameter should be set with the result
of the sum of the hexadecimal values associated with functions that should be
enabled. The setting is carried out as described for the strings, with the exception that
it is possible to select only hexadecimal characters (0...9, A....F).
The description of these parameters is shown in a table like the one below:
Bit Value Description
0 0001 Enable function 1

In case the operator wants:
 To disable all functions: he/she must set to 0000 the relevant parameter.
 Enable 1 to 8 functions: the value to be set is given by the hexadecimal sum

0001+0002+0004+0008+0010+0020+0040+0080 = 00FF.
 Enable, for example, the functions 3, 4, 6 and 8: the value to be set is the sum
0004+0008+0020+0080 = 00AC.
The operator has not to worry about verifying that the set up value is acceptable for the
controller since it is not possible to set up not acceptable values.
Obviously, this is only true for individual parameters. However, it is possible to set two or more
parameters in incongruent or incompatible ways. It is up to the operator to prevent this from
occurring.
There are three ways to exit programming mode:
 Press the EXIT button 'n' times to scroll back to the main menu, then press it again to
exit programming. The main menu will be displayed on the next access to
programming.
 Press and hold the EXIT key for two seconds from any menu: the programming will
be left immediately, and at the next entering, you will be exactly the same point.
 Change the operation mode to AUTO or MAN: and at the next entering, you will be
exactly the same point.
WARNING: This procedure permanently recharges the parameters with the factory
default (depending on access rights).
Sometimes, it may be useful to reload parameters factory values. To do so, first access
programming, then press and hold the ACK/TEST and EXIT buttons simultaneously for five
seconds. A message on the display will confirm the reload of the factory values.
Factory values are reloaded only for parameters for which you are granted access rights.

The AND/OR logics are, basically, a list of boolean conditions (true/false, on/off, 1/0), which
can be configured by the operator (programming), which the controller evaluates and the result
of which can be assigned to a digital output. For using the AND/OR logics with a digital output,
use the DOF.0103 function. NB: the AND/OR logics cannot be configured directly from
the panel of the controller, but through a PC equipped with the BoardPrg3 software [14].
The operator must first decide if the list of conditions must be evaluated as AND (all must be
checked) or as OR (it is enough that one condition is met). It is not possible to have AND/OR
mixed logics.
You can add up to 30 conditions. Each condition can be individually denied: in the previous
figure, for example, the board will check that there are no active early warnings. The following
conditions can be added:
 DI_XXX: logic states of all the digital inputs (physical or virtual).
 DO_XXX: logic states of all the digital outputs.
 AL_XXX: warnings/locks present.
 ST_XXX: internal states of the controller.
 AT_XXX: states concerning the thresholds on analogue measures (see

paragraph7.8).
The following table shows the list of the internal states available for the AND/OR logics.

Information: although it is possible to program the digital inputs by directly acting on the
device, it is strongly recommended to use BoardPrg3 [14] program, which greatly simplifies
configuration operations.
The board has twenty physical digital inputs and sixteen virtual digital inputs as standard. It
may also use the six analogue inputs as if they were digital (if not used as analogue). Finally,
it handles up to ten DITEL expansion modules, with sixteen digital inputs each. The board can
therefore handle up to 202 digital inputs. For the virtual digital inputs see 7.5.2. Use P.0141
parameter to specify the number of DITEL modules to be managed. All the inputs are fully
configurable
As default, all the inputs are “active” only when the related terminal is connected to the
negative of the supply voltage of the board; they are considered “not active” when the terminal
is left open.
It is possible to reverse this convention (individually for each input), by using the appropriate
parameters:
Parameter Inputs
P.2000 01...16
P.2050 17...20
P.2100 Analogue inputs used as digital ones
P.2200 DITEL #01
P.2250 DITEL #02
P.2300 DITEL #03
P.2350 DITEL #04
P.2400 DITEL #05
P.2450 DITEL #06
P.2500 DITEL #07
P.2550 DITEL #08
P.2600 DITEL #09
P.2650 DITEL #10
As you can see, there is no parameter to "reverse the polarity" of virtual digital inputs (it is not
possible). By using theBoardPrg3 program, the logic status of each input can be inverted with
reference to its physical status simply checking the "Reversed polarity" box on the input
configuration page. The box appears only if the selected function is different from DIF.0000.
The above parameters have a bit for each input:

 A bit set to zero means that the related input is “active” when it is connected to the
negative supply of the controller.
 A bit set to one means that the related input is considered “active” when it is left open
(connecting the input to ground will change to “not active” the status).
As default, all the bits are set to 0.
Each input (both physical and virtual) has three parameters associated:
 One parameter which configures its function (P.2001 for input 1).
 One parameter which configures any delay (P.2002 for input 1).
 One parameter allows to define a text message to display. (P.2003 for input 1).
See document [1] for the parameters list.
Information: in BoardPrg3 the parameters for the configuration of the delay and the
message will only appear if the function associated with the input is different from DIF.0000.
The parameters which configure the delay and the message for an input are used by the
controller only for certain features of the inputs (see the table below).
The following table indicates the functions that can be associated with each digital input and
highlights when the parameters for the configuration of the delay and the message are used:
Code Function Delay Message Description

DIF.0000 Not used. The input is not used.
DIF.0101 Used by the PLC It matches the digital input to the PLC function
internal to the device; the input will be used
exclusively for the functions programmed in the
PLC sequence.
DIF.1001 GCB close Only acts in MAN and in TEST, and is equivalent
command. to pressing the GCB button to change-over the
loads to the generator. If there is no input with
the function DIF.1002, it acts as “toggle”: it
controls the opening of the breaker when the
same is closed and vice versa
DIF.1002 GCB open Only acts in MAN and in TEST, and is equivalent
command. to pressing the GCB button to change-over the
loads to the mains.
DIF.1003 GCB controlled It indicates to the board that the switch will be
externally. temporarily controlled by external logics: the
board will acknowledge the situation without
triggering anomalies.
DIF.1004 Synchronization Used when GCB is controlled by external
request for GCB. devices: the external device activates this input if
it wants the board to perform synchronization
and to provide the "synchronized" contact.

DIF.1031 MCB close Only acts in MAN and in TEST, used to control
command. the manual closure of the MCB breaker. If there
is no input configured with the function DIF.1032,
this input works in reality as toggle: it commands
the closure of the breaker when the same is
open and commands the opening when the
same is closed.
DIF.1032 MCB open Only acts in MAN and in TEST, used to control
command. the manual opening of the MCB breaker.
DIF.1033 MCB controlled It indicates to the board that the switch will be
externally. temporarily controlled by external logics: the
board will acknowledge the situation without
triggering anomalies.
DIF.1034 Synchronization Used when MCB is controlled by external
request for MCB. devices: the external device activates this input if
it wants the board to perform synchronization
and to provide the "synchronized" contact.
DIF.2001 Alarms reset When the input becomes active, the controller
command. executes a reset of all anomalies. That is
equivalent to change the controller mode to
OFF/RESET and back again to the working
mode.
DIF.2002 Alarms When the input becomes active, the controller
acknowledgement carries out an acknowledgement of all faults and
command. silence the acoustic horn. This operation is
equivalent to press the ACK key on the controller
DIF.2029 Request for the When the input becomes active with the
test mode without controller in AUTO, the controller carries out a
load (impulse). test start of the engine without load for the time
configured in P.0420. If the input activates again
during the test, it immediately stops.
DIF.2030 Request for the When the input becomes active with the
test mode with controller in AUTO, the controller carries out a
load (impulse). test start of the engine with load for the time
configured in P.0420. If the input activates again
during the test, it immediately stops.
DIF.2031 Request for TEST When the input is "active", the mode of the board
mode. switches from AUTO to TEST (the input does
nothing if the board is not in AUTO or if the
automatic intervention of the generator is
required). When it becomes inactive, the status
changes back to AUTO.
DIF.2032 Request for Yes If the input is “active”, the controller operating
REMOTE START. mode changes from AUTO to REMOTE
START(the input does nothing if the controller is
in OFF/RESET or MAN mode). When it becomes
inactive, the status changes back to AUTO.
DIF.2033 Manual start When the input become “active” (only in mode
control. MAN) the controller makes a start attempt (only
one) the same way an automatic start is
performed, i.e. it controls the starter motor until
starting is accomplished or failed.
DIF.2034 Manual stop When the input become activated (in MAN
control. mode) the controller stops the engine. This is
equivalent to pressing the STOP button.

DIF.2061 Request for IDLE When this input is "active", the board controls the
reduced speed. reduced rotation speed to the engine and
disables the generator minimum frequency and
minimum voltage protections, because it
assumes that the engine is rotating at a lower
speed than the rated one. The controller also
prevents the change-over of the loads to the
generator.
DIF.2062 Engine When the input is “active”, all the protections for
protections the engine, which normally act as interlock,
override. discharge or deactivation elements, become
mere warnings
DIF.2063 Complete When the input is activated, all the protections
protections (except for few, see [1] ) which involve interlocks
override. or deactivations become warnings.
DIF.2092 According to When the input is activated, the power setpoint
power setpoint. during the parallel with the mains is P.0902
parameter instead of P.0884 parameter.
DIF.2093 Selects the When the input is activated, the board switches
import-export to the "import/export" mode in parallel with the
mode. mains, regardless of the mode configured in
P.0880.
DIF.2094 It selects the When the input is activated, the board shifts to
DROOP mode. the DROOP mode to control speed and voltage
regulators.
DIF.2095 It disables the When the input is activated, the board disables
control of kW. all PI controllers for the management of active
and reactive power.
DIF.2096 Transfer to the When the input is activated, the board transfers
generators. the load from the mains to the generator, then it
opens MCB switch.
DIF.2097 Limitation of When the input is active, during the parallel with
active power the mains the board limits the power setpoint to
setpoint 1. the value set with P.0954 parameter.
DIF.2098 Limitation of When the input is active, during the parallel with
active power the mains the board limits the power setpoint to
setpoint 2. the value set with P.0955 parameter.
DIF.2099 Local BASE When the input is active, the controllers runs in
LOAD. BASE LOAD mode, even if the parameter
P.0880 is set in SYSTEM BASE LOAD mode.
DIF.2121 Selection of Used in the "load management". See document
master generator. [3].
DIF.2151 Select When the input becomes "active", parameters of
configuration 1. alternative configuration set 1 are copied in the
working configuration.

DIF.2181 Immediate supply. Used for systems composed of multiple
generators: if the input is active, the switching of
the users between mains and generators is
performed after the closing of the first GCB
switch.
DIF.2211 Enabling of load Used if the distribution of the active power is
distribution. controlled by an internal device: the board uses
the signal from this device only if this input is
active.
DIF.2241 Fuel pump in When the input is active, the mode of the fuel
MAN-OFF mode. pump is forced into “Manual-OFF”.
MAN-ON mode. pump is forced into “Manual-ON”.
AUTO mode. pump is forced into “Automatic”.
DIF.2271 OFF by remote When this input is active, the operation mode of
control. the controller is forced into OFF/RESETand you
cannot use the buttons on the panel to change it.
NB: When this input is turned off, if there are no
inputs configured with 2272 and 2273 functions,
the operating mode comes back to the one it
was before the activation of the input.
DIF.2272 MAN by remote When this input is active, the operation mode of

For further details and/or clarifications regarding the functions of the inputs, refer to [1].
The following function, not directly linked to the board functioning sequence, can be selected
for any digital input:

 DIF.0101 - “Used by the PLC”. It is possible to use some digital inputs of the board
only for PLC logics, without that the normal sequence of operations should use them.
In these cases, it is possible to leave the inputs configured with DIF.0000 function
("Not used"). There is however the risk of reusing the input for other purposes, as it
seems to be free: for this reason DIF.0101 function exists (to indicate that the input is
used, even if not directly by the board).
The board, in addition to physical digital inputs, also manages 16 digital virtual inputs. The
same are operated by the controller just as if they were physical inputs (with no limitation), but
the status of the virtual inputs is not acquired from the hardware, but it is determined through
the software PLC.
For example, it is possible to associate a virtual digital input with DIF.2501 function ("inhibition
to automatic intervention of the generator"). When this virtual digital input is active, DST4602
stops the engine. The operator can then create a complex PLC program and decide on its
basis under which conditions the generator should work or not: by writing the result of the
logics of the virtual digital input, it will be able to control the automatic starting of the generator.
The board has sixteen physical digital outputs as standard and manages up to ten DITEL
expansion modules, with sixteen digital outputs each. In total, therefore, the board can manage
up to 176 digital outputs, all fully configurable. Use P.0141 parameter to specify the number
of DITEL modules to be managed.
By default, internal relays/transistors associated with all digital outputs are activated when its
related logic function requires their activation. It is however possible to reverse this convention
(individually for each output), by using the appropriate parameters:
Parameter Outputs
P.3000 01...16
P.3200 DITEL #01
P.3250 DITEL #02
P.3300 DITEL #03
P.3350 DITEL #04
P.3400 DITEL #05
P.3450 DITEL #06
P.3500 DITEL #07
P.3550 DITEL #08
P.3600 DITEL #09
P.3650 DITEL #10
Said parameters have a bit for each output:
 A bit at zero means that the relay/transistor is activated when the corresponding
function requires its activation.
 A bit at one means that the relay/transistor is deactivated when the corresponding
function requires its activation.
By default, all the bits are set to 0.
Each output is associated with a parameter that configures its function (P.3001 for output 1).

The following three functions, not directly linked to the operation sequences of the board, are
selectable for any digital output:
 DOF.0101 - “Used by the PLC”. This function combines the digital output to the PLC
program internal to the device: in this way, it is the PLC logic that controls the output,
and not the normal operating logics of the board. Note: if the PLC program uses some
outputs, but these outputs are not configured with DOF.0101 function, the outputs will
not be controlled.
 DOF.0102 - “Controlled by the serial ports”. The board does not control the output with
its own internal logics, but with the controls it receives through the serial ports.
 DOF.0103 - “Logics AND/OR”. See 7.4.
As you can easily understand from the name, the conversion curves are a tool that allows
converting a numeric value into another numeric value. They can be used for two purposes:
 To convert the value acquired from a (physical) analogue input into the real units of
measurement of the sensor.
 Convert an internal measure of the controller board into a percentage value, prior to
“writing” it on an analogue output.
NB: the conversion curves cannot be configured directly from the panel of the
controller board, but through a PC equipped with the BoardPrg3 [14] software.
The figure above shows a conversion curve associated to an analogue output. The analogue
output has been configured with the function AOF.3101 ("generator frequency"). In this
configuration, the output will run at 10% for a frequency of 45Hz or lower, and at 90% for a

frequency of 55 Hz or higher; for frequency values ranging between 45 Hz and 55 Hz, the
output will have a value between 10% and 90%.
You can add up to 32 points in the graph, thus creating also non-linear curves. See in the
example that the curve configured has two horizontal segments at the beginning and at the
end, obtained by entering two equal values in the “After” column, corresponding to two different
values in the “before” column. This is not obligatory, but it allows you to set a saturation limit
on one end or on both ends of the curve. In fact, the controller board extends to infinity the first
and last segments of the curve. Being horizontal, whatever value the measure “to convert”
assumes, you will obtain the same value of the “converted” measure. In the previous example,
for any frequency measure lower than 45 Hz, the analogue output will be set at 10%. If from
the example above you removed the first point (44 Hz 10%), the horizontal segment would not
be at the beginning of the curve: in this case, if the frequency should drop below 45 Hz, the
analogue output would drop below the 10%.
The BoardPrg3 [14] software allows you (by means of the first buttons on top left) to save the
curve on file to be able to use it again in other applications. So you can create an archive of
the conversions associated to the sensors used.
The board has six physical analogue inputs and eight virtual analogue inputs as standard. It
also manages up to sixteen DIGRIN/DITHERM expansion modules (for a total of 48
temperatures) and up to sixteen DIVIT modules (for a total of 64 measurements). Therefore it
manages up to 126 analogue inputs, all fully configurable.
For the virtual analogue inputs, see par. 7.8.1.
Use P.0142 parameter to specify the number of DIGRIN/DITHERM modules to be managed.

Use P.0143 parameter to specify the number of DIVIT modules to be managed.
It is possible to apply a conversion curve to all analogue inputs.
Each analogue input (both physical and virtual) has eight parameters associated:
 One parameter which configures its function (P.4001 for input 1).
 One parameter allows to define a text message to display. (P.4002 for input 1).
 Two thresholds consisting of three parameters each:
o One parameter which configures the threshold value (P.4003 and P.4206 for
input 1).
o One parameter which configures the delay for managing the “out of threshold”
(P.4004 and P.4007 for input 1).
o One parameter which configures the checking options and the actions in case
of “out of threshold” (P.4005 and P.4008 for input 1).
The parameter that configures the message for an analogue input (P.4002 for input 1) is used
by the board every time the thresholds are used to trigger early warnings and/or alarms (see
below); is also used for the following functions of the analogue inputs:
 AIF.2001
 AIF.2003
 AIF.2005
 AIF.2007

 AIF.2009
 AIF.2011
 AIF.2013
 AIF.2015
The previous functions configure the input as "Generic sensor". In this case, the acquired
measurement will be displayed on the pages E.07 through E.14, preceded by the configured
message. NOTE: You can also use the AIF.2051 function instead of the previous three.
in this case, the measure acquired will not be displayed on pages E.07...E.14; however, you
can still use it with the thresholds to manage digital outputs and activate warnings/locks.
The two thresholds are completely independent on each other. The third parameter of each
threshold is a “bit” parameter that allows you to associate to each threshold the following
options:
 Bit 0: allows configuring the "out of threshold" condition:
o 0: the "out of threshold" condition occurs when the measurement is higher

than the threshold.
o 1: the "out of threshold" condition occurs when the measurement is lower than
the threshold.
 Bit 1: allows managing the internal status linked to the thresholds on a measurement
(see below).
 Bit 4...7: allow indicating the typology of anomaly:
o Bit 4: early warning.
o Bit 5: unload.
o Bit 6: deactivation.
o Bit 7: lock.
Note: If none of these bits is selected, the threshold does not trigger early
warnings, but it can still be used to manage the internal status (see below). Only
one of these four bits should be enabled: if two or more are active, the board uses
the one that requires the most severe anomaly.
 Bit 8...12: allow determining the conditions under which the "out of threshold" condition
can be assessed. They are not linked to anomalies, then they act even if the
thresholds are used to drive the internal status (see below) and not to activate
anomalies.
o Bit 8: the "out of threshold" condition is assessed only if the engine is running.
o Bit 9: the "out of threshold" condition is assessed only if the engine has been
running since at least the time set with P.0216 parameter ("engine protection
masking time").
o Bit 10: the "out of threshold" condition is assessed only if GCB switch is
closed.
o Bit 11: the "out of threshold" condition is assessed only if the fuel solenoid
valve is open (FUEL, see 9.4.6.6).
o Bit 12: the "out of threshold" condition is assessed only if the GAS solenoid
valve is open (GAS, see 9.4.6.8).
It is possible to activate any combination of these bits: the "out of threshold"

condition is assessed only if all the selected conditions are met.

 Bit 13. This bit is only linked to anomalies. If selected, it subjects the activation of
anomalies to the status of a digital input configured with DIF.2705 function ("disable
protections on analogue measurements"): if this input exists and is active, the board
does not trigger this anomaly.
 Bit 14. This bit is only linked to anomalies. If this bit is selected, DST4602 will stop the
fuel pump (see 9.4.13.5) when the anomaly is active.
 Bit 15. This bit is only linked to anomalies. If this bit is selected, DST4602 will
"transform" the anomaly into an early warning, if the engine protection OVERRIDE or
the complete OVERRIDE is activated (see 10.5).
You can set any combination of these bit.
Internal status linked to thresholds on analogue measurements. DST4602 is able to use

both thresholds on the analogue measurements to activate/deactivate an internal status: the
internal status is then accessible by AND/OR logics, and it is possible to use it to control the
digital outputs of the board.
Intrinsically, the board uses the "out of threshold" condition of one of the two thresholds to
activate the internal status, the "out of threshold" condition of the other threshold to deactivate
it (therefore managing a band of hysteresis).
The configuration is performed by using the bit 1 of the configuration parameter of both
thresholds (P.4005 and P.4008 for input 1). Set to "1" the bit 1 in the configuration parameter
related to the threshold that should activate the internal status; set it to "0" in the configuration
parameter of the other threshold.
Let's take an example: let's suppose that the analogue input 1 acquires a temperature and
that the board should manage a heating system to keep the temperature at 50°C. Let's
suppose then that you want to activate the external heating system when the temperature falls
below 45°C and to turn it off when the temperature rises above 52°C. The parameters can be
configured in the following way (example referred to analogue input 1):
 P.4003: 45.0 °C
 P.4004: 5.0 s
 P.4005: 0003 (bit 0 on, bit 1 on)
 P.4006: 52.0 °C
 P.4007: 3.0 s
 P.4008: 0000 (bit 0 off, bit 1 off)
The first threshold is used to activate the internal status (but the opposite could be done). With
the first three parameters, the board is configured to activate the internal status (bit 1 of P.4005
on) when the temperature measurement is lower (bit 0 of P.4005 on) than the 45°C threshold
for 5 consecutive seconds. The board is configured to deactivate the internal status (bit 1 of
P.4008 off) if the temperature measurement is higher (bit 0 of P.4005 off) than the 52 C°
threshold for 3 consecutive seconds.
Use of analogue inputs as digital ones. The analogue inputs of the board (01 ... 06, not
those of the expansion modules) can be individually used as digital inputs. To do this, configure
the input (P.4001 or equivalent) with AIF.0100 function (used as digital input). For the wiring
of inputs (when used as digital inputs) see paragraph 5.
In addition to the physical analogue inputs, the controller also operates 8 virtual analogue
inputs. They are managed by the board exactly as if they were physical inputs (without

limitations); the value of the virtual inputs is not acquired by the hardware, but determined by
the PLC program.
Example: if you configure a virtual analogue input with AIF.2301 function ("power setpoint in
BASE LOAD"), the board will indeed use the value of the virtual analogue input as reference
power to be supplied when the generator is in parallel with the mains. Through the PLC
program, the operator can generate a complex logic (which can consider temperatures,
pressures, etc.) in order to determine the power that the generator should supply, and finally
write the result of the logic into the virtual analogue input.
The standard board has two analogue outputs as standard and manages up to eight DANOUT
expansion modules (four outputs per module, for a total of 32 additional outputs). In total,
therefore, the board manages up to 34 analogue outputs, all fully configurable.
Use P.0144 parameter to specify the number of DANOUT modules to be managed.
One parameter which configures its function (P.6001 for output 1). See document [1] for the
parameters list.
To all analogue outputs it is possible to apply a conversion curve.
The following function, not directly related to the operation sequences of the board, can be
selected for any analogue output:
 AOF.0101 - “Used by the PLC”. This function combines the analogue output to the
PLC program inside the device: in this way, it is the PLC logic that controls the output
and not the normal operating logics of the board. Note: if the PLC program uses some
outputs, but these outputs are not configured with DOF.0101 function, the outputs will
not be controlled.
 AOF.0102 - “Controlled by the serial ports”. The board does not control the output with
its own internal logics, but with the controls it receives through the serial ports.
You can use certain properly configured digital inputs to change the configuration of the
system without changing the programming parameters. In fact, the controller manages
internally four groups of alternative parameters that can be “copied” in the operating
parameters on request (through a dedicated digital input).
Alternative configurations can be programmed only using the BoardPrg3. You cannot
program or modify the configurations from the controller.
The parameters present in each alternative group are the following:
 P.0101: Generator number of phases.
 P.0102: Generator nominal voltage
 P.0103: Primary of generator voltmeter transformers.
 P.0104: Secondary generator voltmeter transformers.
 P.0105: Rated frequency
 P.0106: Generator nominal power (kVA).
 P.0107: Primary of the generator/user current transformer.
 P.0108: Primary of the current transformer or toroid ratio for auxiliary power.
 P.0109: Type of transformer for auxiliary power.

 P.0116: Mains/bars nominal voltage
 P.0117: Primary of mains/bars voltmeter transformers.
 P.0118: Secondary of mains/bars voltmeter transformers.
 P.0119: Mains/bars number of phases.
 P.0124: Connection of generator/user current transformers
 P.0125: Engine nominal power (kW).

It is possible to change the configuration by means the following input digital functions:
 DIF.2151 – “Select configuration 1”. When the input becomes "active", parameters of
alternative configuration set 1 are copied in the working configuration.
Caution: when an alternative configuration is copied in the operating parameters, the previous
values of the operating parameters are lost. The only way to restore them is to have them
stored in another alternative configuration and recall it.
This function is usually used with multiple-voltage and/or multiple-frequency panels: wiring the
cams of a selector to the panel on the inputs of the controller, you can manually switch voltages
and frequency without having to use the parameters of the controller.
NOTE: parameter change occurs only with engine shut off and with the controller in
OFF/RESET mode.

During operations, if it is not in the OFF/RESET, the board makes periodic records of a single
event, partially configurable with programming parameters.
The controller manages three types of archive:
 Events
 Analogue archive
 Engine diagnostic codes (DTC – “Diagnostic Trouble Code”).
The history logs can be accessed in any controller operating status. To access the archive
visualization, press the UP and DOWN buttons till the HISTORY LOGS (H.01) page is
displayed. If you are in a mode the limits the use of the vertical scroll buttons, you may be
required to press the EXIT button repeatedly.
Then, press ENTER to view the records: it shifts to "H.03" page, which allows the selection of
the desired archive.

The second line always shows the numerical indication of the selected archive and the number
of archives in the menu. The next lines of the display are used to display the archives that
could be selected. The selected item is highlighted in reverse REVERSE. Use the UP and
DOWN buttons to scroll trough the menu to the lower and upper index items (pressing the UP
button allows to directly cycle from the first item to the last one).
By pressing the ENTER key, the selected archive will be entered, press the EXIT key to return
to "H.01" page.

When previously configured events occur, the controller adds a record in this archive. The
record always contains date and time, the numeric code that identifies the event and the status
of the controller. By means of the BoardPrg3 program, it is possible to select which information
must be recorded for every event. It is possible to add 44 information max. The capacity of the
archive depends on the information recorded on event: however, with the default configuration
the full capacity is 860 records. If the archive is full and a new event occurs, the oldest is
overwritten.
P.0441 parameter allows selecting which events should be recorded. It is a configurable

parameter in bits (for the configuration of parameters in bits see 7.3.4):

The column "even if blocked" indicates which events are anyway recorded even if the records
are blocked (see 8.5)
All the anomalies are recorded in the records of events. They are recorded with their own
numerical code, added to:
 2000: if the anomaly is an early warning.
 3000: if the anomaly is a discharge.
 4000: if the anomaly is a deactivation.
 5000: if the anomaly is a shutdown.
For example, anomaly 273 will be recorded as "2273" when it is activated as an early warning,
as "5273" if it is activated as a shutdown. By viewing the events from the board panel, the
event code "2273" is automatically displayed as "W273", the code 5273 is displayed as "A273".
With the default configuration, each time that an event is recorded, the board also records the
following info (this list can be modified by means of the BoardPrg3 program):
 Date/Time
 Operating mode of the controller.
 Engine status.

 Genset status.
 Mains status.
 GCB, MCB and MGCB circuit breakers status.
 GCB and MCB circuit breakers current command.
 Mains/Busbar phase-to-phase voltages and frequency.
 Genset phase-to-phase voltages and frequency.
 The three phase currents.
 The total (apparent, active and reactive) powers and the total power factor.
 The battery voltage.
 Engine rotation speed, lubricant pressure, coolant temperature and fuel level.
Use the UP and DOWN buttons to scroll cyclically trough all recordings. Each event has four
information pages. Pressing the LEFT and RIGHT buttons allows you to scroll through the four
pages related to the event.
The structure of the upper part of the pages is the same for all four. The following figure shows
the first page.

The common part (above the dotted line) contains:
 The second line shows which event is currently displayed, the total number of

associated to the highest number.
 The next line shows the date/time of the recording.
 The next line shows the numeric code of the event and its description (variable
depending on the selected language).
The content below the dashed line depends on the information configured for the record; with
the default configuration, 4 pages are used:

Page 1. It shows the statutes of the system at the time when the event was recorded: board
operation mode and statutes of engine, generator, mains and switches.
Page 2. It shows mains and generator frequency and voltages.
Page 3. It shows the L3- L1 phase-to-phase voltage of the generator, phase currents and total
powers (kVA, kW, kvar).
Page 4. It shows total power factor, battery voltage, engine rotation speed, lubricant pressure,
coolant temperature and fuel level.
The information that were not available at the time of recording are displayed with dashes.
DST4602 records a series of analogue measurements and statuses at regular intervals. The
recording interval is configurable, and different intervals for when the engine is running and
when the engine is stopped can be configured:
 P.0442: interval (in seconds) for the recording into the archive of analogue
measurements, used when the engine is running.
 P.0443: interval (in seconds) for the recording into the archive of analogue
measurements, used when the engine is stopped.
Each record always contains the date/time and the status of the controller. By means of the
BoardPrg3 program, it is possible to select which information must be recorded. It is possible
to add 44 information max. The capacity of the archive depends on the information recorded
on event: however, with the default configuration the full capacity is 860 records. If the archive
is full and a new event occurs, the oldest is overwritten.
Full capacity is 860 records. If the archive is full and a new event occurs, the less recent is
overwritten (so always the last 860 events are stored). Recorded values are:
 Date/Time
 Operating mode of the controller.
 Engine status.
 Genset status.
 Mains status.
 GCB, MCB and MGCB circuit breakers status.
 GCB and MCB circuit breakers current command.
 Mains/Busbar phase-to-phase voltages and frequency.
 Genset phase-to-phase voltages and frequency.

The board does not perform recordings in the archive of analogues and in the archive of events
if it is in OFF/RESET mode and when a shutdown, a deactivation or a discharge have been
activated. Exceptions are some event codes (highlighted by the wording "Yes" in the column
"even if blocked" of the table in 8.3) and all anomalies. Recordings are locked; all the windows
of the History logs display an intermittent “Locked” message. To unlock the recordings, it is
necessary cancel all anomalies and set the board in MAN or AUTO.

The controller records only the DTCs the engine control unit (ECU) sends over the CAN-BUS
CAN0 line.
For each diagnostic code, the board records:
 SPN code (code standardized by SAE J1939 specification).
 IMF code (code standardized by SAE J1939 specification).
 The number of activations of this code (provided by SAE J1939 specification).
 The numeric code specific for the engine (DTC).
Some of these data may not be available, depending on the engine connected to the CAN-
BUS: in case, they are replaced with dashes.
This archive have can store up to 16 records. Every following record overwrites the older one.
Use the UP and DOWN buttons to scroll cyclically trough all recordings. NOTE: the more
recent record is associated to the highest number. Each diagnostic code is displayed on a

The second line shows which diagnostic code is currently displayed, the total number of
recorded diagnostic codes and the maximum size of the archive.
Right below you will find recording date and time. In the central part of the page the codes
described above are displayed. In the lower part, if possible, a textual description of the
problem is displayed.
There are two ways to exit from archive visualization:
 Press the EXIT button 'n' times to scroll back to page H.01
 Change the operating mode of the controller.
In both cases, page H.01 will display; you may move to other display modes using the UP and
DOWN buttons.

It is possible to fully delete (empty) an archive with the following procedure:
 Display a recording of the concerned archive (see above).
 Press and hold ACK/TEST + EXIT keys for 5 seconds: at the end the board will display
a confirmation message and delete the archive.

The active work mode is always displayed in the status bar (bottom right). DST4602 provides
for three main working modes:
 OFF/RESET: DST4602 controls the opening of GCB switch and stops the engine.
Where provided, it also controls the closing of MCB switch. The anomalies are all
cancelled and you can access the programming to modify the parameters.
 MAN: the starting and stopping of the generator will be executed by the operator. GCB
switch (and, where applicable, MCB switch) opening/closing as well will be executed
by the operator: DST4602 always allows the opening of the switches (to open MCB
when the engine is stopped, press the MCB key for 5 seconds); it allows closing GCB
only if the engine is started and if generator voltages and frequency are within
tolerance. DST4602 automatically activates the synchronization procedure (if
required) following to the closing control of a switch by the operator. If the operator
puts the generator in parallel with the mains or with another group, all parallel functions
are managed automatically (see [3]). Protections are active: DST4602 is therefore
always able to open GCB switch and stop the engine. Accessing programming is
allowed, though only some parameters can be modified.
 AUTO: the starting and stopping of the generator and the management of GCB and
MCB switches (where applicable) are executed by the board (the operator cannot
intervene). All protections are enabled. Accessing programming is allowed, though
only some parameters can be modified.
The operating mode can be selected in three different ways:
 By using the key selector on the board panel. The board, if you wish, may be
purchased without the operator's panel (code E61021371yyxx): in this case it is
necessary to act in one of the following ways.
 Using one or several digital inputs configured with the following functions:
o DIF.2271 - “OFF/RESET by remote control”.
o DIF.2272 - “MAN by remote control”.
o DIF.2273 - “AUTO by remote control”.
When one of these inputs is active, the mode of the board is forced, and the key
selector and even the controls from the serial ports to change it can no longer be
used.
When none of these inputs is active, it is again possible to use the key selector or
the controls from the serial ports to change the operation mode.
If there are multiple active inputs at the same time, priority is given to the input
that forces the OFF / RESET mode, followed by the one that forces MAN mode
and finally the one that forces AUTO mode.
You needn't use all three inputs. For example, it is possible to use only one input
to force the status of AUTO: when the input is active, the board is always in AUTO,
when the input deactivates, the board returns to the mode selected with the key
selector.
 Using the commands from the serial ports. These controls are valid only if the board
does not have the operator's panel (and therefore there is no key selector). To use
these controls, no input configured with the functions described in the previous
paragraph should be active. These controls can be enabled by a digital input
configured with DIF.2706 function - "Enable controls from the serial ports": if this input

exists, it should be active. To change the working mode, it is necessary to write (within
5 seconds) the following Modbus registers in sequence:
o HOLDING REGISTER 101: enter the password configured with the parameter
P.0004.
o HOLDING REGISTER 102: "1" to force OFF/RESET, "2" to force MAN, "3" to
force AUTO.
When the main working mode of DST4602 is AUTO, it is possible to activate two additional
modes (remember that the board is still in AUTO, then what said above is valid):
 TEST: this operation mode differs from AUTO in the fact that the engine is anyway
started (automatically), regardless of the fact that the conditions of the system require
or not the automatic intervention of the generator (the "inhibitions to automatic
intervention" are ignored in this mode). With P.0222 parameter ("Enabling of test
power load") it is possible to indicate to the board if it should automatically close GCB
switch as a result the starting of the engine (if the conditions of the system allow the
closure of the switch). In any case, the operator has the possibility to control the
switches as in MAN. When the TEST mode is disabled, the board returns to AUTO
and, if the automatic intervention of the generator is no longer required, the board
opens GCB switch (with discharge of power, if required) and stops the engine.
Accessing programming is allowed, though only some parameters can be modified.
To switch to TEST mode, the board should be in AUTO, there should be no

shutdowns, deactivations and discharges, there should be no REMOTE START
requests (see below) and there should be no requests for automatic intervention (see
engine sequence description).
Note: the request for the switching to TEST is lost if the automatic intervention of the
generator is required (for example, if there is no mains): when the automatic
intervention is no longer required, the board will not return to TEST. The request of
the TEST mode from digital input is an exception: when the automatic intervention is
no longer required, if the input is still active, the board will return to TEST.
You can shift to TEST mode as follows:
o By simultaneously pressing the START + ACK/TEST buttons on the controller

panel. The shift to TEST mode is immediate. Press again these same buttons
to return to AUTO mode. From version 00.64, if the test duration (P.0420) is
configured (the value must be different from zero), this stops automatically
stops after the indicated time.
o By using a digital input configured with DIF.2031 function ("Request of test

mode"): the controller switches into TEST when this input is activated and
returns to AUTO when it is deactivated.
o By using a digital input configured with the function DIF.2029 (“Request for
the test mode without load - impulse”). The controller evaluates the input
activation moment (impulse): the controller switches to TEST when it activates
this input and goes back to AUTO at the end of the time configured in P.0420
(if P.0420 is set to zero, the test is not carried out). If there is second activation
of the input during the test, the test is immediately stopped. During this test,
the controller doesn’t close the GCB circuit breaker, independently from the
value configured in P.0222.
o By using a digital input configured with the function DIF.2030 (“Request for
the test mode with load - impulse”). The controller evaluates the input
activation moment (impulse): the controller switches to TEST when it activates
this input and goes back to AUTO at the end of the time configured in P.0420
(if P.0420 is set to zero, the test is not carried out). If there is second activation
of the input during the test, the test is immediately stopped. During this test,

the controller closes the GCB circuit breaker, independently from the value
configured in P.0222.
o By properly configuring the parameters:
 P.0418 (“Weekly test calendar”).
 P.0419 (“Test start time”).
 P.0420 (“Test starting duration”).
They allow selecting the days of the week and a time slot within which the
working mode switches from AUTO to TEST. The controller returns to
AUTO when the TEST time interval ends.
o By means of a proper command via SMS (refer to document [5]. In order for
this feature to be used, the parameter P.0420 Test starting duration shall not
be set to zero. In this case, the controller shifts from TEST after receiving the
SMS and returns to AUTO after the time P.0420.
o Through a control from the serial ports.
 HOLDING REGISTER 20Modbus register: writing the value "6", the

board switches to TEST, writing the value "7" the board comes back
to AUTO.
 HOLDING REGISTER Modbus registers 101 and 102. These two

registers should be written within 5 seconds one from the other
(otherwise the control will not work). These controls can be enabled
by a digital input configured with DIF.2706 function - "Enable controls
from the serial ports": if this input exists, it should be active.
 Write the password configured with P.0004 parameter in the

register 101.
 Write the value "12" in the register 102 to switch to TEST, the
value "21" to return to AUTO.
The TEST control from the serial ports is cancelled if the board considers the
communication interrupted (60 seconds without a message).
 REMOTE START: this operation mode differs from AUTO in the fact that the engine
is anyway started (automatically), regardless of the fact that the conditions of the
system require or not the automatic intervention of the generator (the "inhibitions to
automatic intervention" are ignored in this mode). If there are no requests for "inhibition
to power load", DST4602 will automatically close GCB switch (with synchronization, if
required). The operator cannot manually control the switches. When the REMOTE
START mode is disabled, the board returns to AUTO and, if the automatic intervention
of the generator is no longer required, the board opens GCB switch (with power
discharge, if required) and stops the engine. Accessing programming is allowed,
though only some parameters can be modified.
To switch to REMOTE START mode, the board should be in AUTO or TEST and there
should be no shutdowns, deactivations and discharges. Moreover, it is possible to
configure an input with DIF.2701 function ("enable remote start request"): if the input
exists, it should be active.
You can shift to REMOTE START mode as follows:
o Through a control sent from MC100 boards on PMCB CAN-BUS.
o By means of the digital input configured with the feature DIF.2032 (“remote
start request”). In this case, it is necessary pay attention to the delay that is
configured for the selected input: the board switches to REMOTE START

when the input is active since the configured time, it comes back to MAN as
soon as the input is deactivated.
o By properly configuring the parameters:
 P.0426 (“Intervention forcing calendar”).
 P.0427 (“Intervention forcing start time”).
 P.0428 (“Intervention forcing end time”).
These parameters are available from the review 00.40 of the board. They
allow selecting the days of the week and a time slot within which the
working mode switches from AUTO to REMOTE START. The controller
returns to AUTO when interval ends.
o By means of a proper command via SMS (refer to document [5]. In this case,
the controller shifts to REMOTE START as soon as it receives the SMS and
returns to AUTO when it receives the opposite command.
o Through a control from the serial ports.
 HOLDING REGISTER Modbus register 20: writing the value "18", the
board switches to REMOTE START, writing the value "19" the board
comes back to AUTO.
 HOLDING REGISTER Modbus registers 101 and 102. These two

registers should be written within 5 seconds one from the other
(otherwise the control will not work). These controls can be enabled
by a digital input configured with DIF.2706 function - "Enable controls
from the serial ports": if this input exists, it should be active.
 Write the password configured with P.0004 parameter in the

register 101.
 Write the value "13" in the register 102 to switch to REMOTE

START, the value "21" to return to AUTO.
The board records the following events if the working mode changes (if enabled with bit 0 of
P.0441 parameter):
 EVT.1001: the new mode is “OFF/RESET”.
 EVT.1002: the new mode is “MAN”.
 EVT.1003: the new mode is “AUTO”.
 EVT.1004: the new mode is “TEST”.
 EVT.1005: the new mode is “REMOTE START”.
The following functions for the configuration of the digital outputs are related to the operation
mode of the board:
 DOF.3001: the output is activated if the board is in OFF/RESET.
 DOF.3002: the output is activated if the board is in MAN.
 DOF.3003: the output is activated if the board is in AUTO.

 DOF.3004: the output is activated if the board is in TEST.
 DOF.3005: the output is activated if the board is in REMOTE START.
 DOF.3011: the output is activated if the board is not in OFF/RESET.
 DOF.3012: the output is activated if the board is in AUTO, TEST or REMOTE START.
 DOF.0103 (Logics AND/OR)
o ST.000: the output is activated if the board is in OFF/RESET.
o ST.001: the output is activated if the board is in MAN.
o ST.002: the output is activated if the board is in AUTO.
o ST.003: the output is activated if the board is in TEST.
o ST.004: the output is activated if the board is in REMOTE START.
DST4602 has a three-phase sensor that can be used to acquire the mains or parallel bars
voltage of the system. This sensor is available on J24 connector for a 400Vac input and on
J19 for a 100Vac input. For the connection, see paragraph 5.
P.0126 parameter determines whether this sensor is connected to the mains or to the parallel
bars:
 P.0126=0: parallel bars.
 P.0126=1: mains.
Normally, for the types of systems composed of multiple generators, the sensor is used to
measure the voltage on the parallel bars (in these cases, the mains is normally acquired by a
MC100 board). On the contrary, for systems which consist of a single generator, it is preferred
to acquire the mains. It is not mandatory to act in this way.
The board uses parameters to configure the sensor, regardless of its use for the mains or for
the parallel bars:
 P.0105: rated frequency (Hz).
 P.0116: mains/bars nominal voltage Phase-to-phase rated voltage shall be set for
three-phase systems; single-phase, for single phase systems.
 P.0119: indicates a three-phase mains/bars (3) or a single-phase one (1).
 P.0129: indicates if the neutral line is connected to the board (1) or not (0). On single-
phase systems the parameter shall be set to 1.
 P.0117: value of the primary (Vac) of any voltage transformers linked to J19 (100Vac)
or J24 (400Vac) connector.
 P.0118: value of the secondary (Vac) of any voltage transformers linked to J19
(100Vac) or J24 (400Vac) connector.
Note: if nominal voltage (P.0116) is set to zero, the board will anyway perform measures and
display them, but for system management purposes, the tension is considered as not present.
Note: if it is indicated that that the neutral is not connected to the board, DST4602 will not
display phase voltages and Neutral-Earth voltage.

Definition:
 For systems which consist of more generators, "parallel bars" indicate that part of the
circuit in which the lines of the alternators are linked. It can be separated from the
users by MGCB switch.
 For systems consisting of a single generator, "parallel bars" indicate users.
DST4602 needs to verify the presence of voltage on the parallel bars, to verify if a switch (GC,
but also MCB) can be closed without synchronization.
The information "no voltage on parallel bars" can be acquired in two ways:
 Using the mains/bars sensor for parallel bars (P.0126=0). In this way, the board uses
a fixed threshold corresponding to 33% of rated voltage (with a 3% hysteresis): if all
measured voltages are below this threshold, the parallel bars are considered to be
"voltage free".
 Use a digital input configured with DIF.3102 function ("No voltage on parallel bars"):
when the input is active, the parallel bars are considered to be "voltage free".
The following functions for the configuration of the digital outputs are connected to the voltage
on the parallel bars:
 DOF.3031 ("Voltage on parallel bars"): the output is activated if there is voltage on the
parallel bars.
 DOF.0103 (“Logics AND/OR”):
o ST.048: the output is activated if there is voltage on the parallel bars.
Depending on the type of system, DST4602 may need to determine the status of the mains,
for two reasons:
 For systems that do emergency service to the mains, to control automatic starts and
stops of the engine in the event of anomalies on the mains.
 For systems that require the parallel with the mains, to verify whether the status of the
mains allows the parallel and, if the parallel is already underway, to disconnect the
generator in case of anomalies of the mains.
See the document [3] for a description of the use of the mains sensor for the purpose of the
parallel with the mains. This chapter instead describes the use of the mains sensor for the
emergency service.
DST4602 can determine the status of the mains in three ways, described below.
If one or more MC100 boards are connected to the PMCB CAN-BUS, DST4602 uses as status
of the mains the one transmitted by these boards. MC100 boards can only be used on systems
composed of multiple generators, where, as a rule, the generators do not directly measure the
mains. If different MC100s transmit the status of their mains, DST4602 creates a "global"
status with the following logics (assessed in the order in which they are described):
 If at least a MC100 board indicates that the mains is steadily "present but out of
tolerance", then for DST4602 the mains is steadily "present but out of tolerance".

 If at least a MC100 board indicates that the mains is steadily "not present", then for
DST4602 the mains is steadily "not present".
 If at least a MC100 board indicates that the delay due to "mains out of tolerance" is in
process, then for DST4602 the delay due to "mains out of tolerance" is in process.
 If at least a MC100 board indicates that the delay due to "mains within tolerance" is in
process, then for DST4602 the delay due to "mains within tolerance" is in process.
 For DST4602 the mains is steadily "within tolerance".
The delays for "mains within tolerance" and "mains out of tolerance" are managed by MC100,
then P.0205 and P.0206 parameters are ignored.
If DST4602 receives the status from the mains, it ignores its internal sensor and any external
sensors connected to its digital inputs.
It is possible to configure a digital input with DIF.3101 function ("External mains sensor"):
DST4602 considers the mains "present and within tolerance" if the digital input is active. The
delays configured with P.0205 and P.0206 parameters apply in this case (see 9.2.3).
If there is a digital input configured with DIF.3101 function, it is also used if the internal sensor
is enabled (see next paragraph): in this case DST4602 considers the mains "present and
within tolerance" if the digital input is active (whatever the voltage connected to the internal
sensor is); but if the digital input is not active, DST4602 uses the mains status acquired by the
internal sensor.
If there is no digital input configured with DIF.3101 function, and if the board cannot use the
internal sensor to acquire the status of the mains, it is possible to use the digital input (if any)
dedicated to the protections for the parallel with the mains (see document [3]) also to determine
the status of the mains for the emergency service. This input is configured with DIF.3103
function ("External protections for the parallel with the mains"). The mains is considered to be
"present and within tolerance" if the digital input is active (the delays configured with P.0205
and P.0206 parameters apply in this case - see 9.2.3).
In order to use the mains/bars sensor to acquire the status of the mains, P.0126 parameter
should be set to "1-mains". Refer to 9.2 the parameters that configure the mains/bars sensor.
In order to assess the mains status, the controller can perform up to four different checks that
can be individually disabled. These checks are individually described (with examples) below:
please, remember that disabling both voltages and frequency checks is not possible (in this
case, mains is always considered not present).
Parameter Description Default value Frequency in Hz

P.0105 Rated frequency 50 Hz 50.00
P.0236 Low frequency threshold 90.0 % 45.00
P.0237 High frequency threshold 110.0 % 55.00
P.0201 Maximum hysteresis 2.5 % 1.25
To disable this check, one of the following conditions shall be true:
 P.0236 = 0%.
 P.0237 = 0%.
 P.0237 = 200%.

 P.0236 >= P.0237
The hysteresis on the various thresholds is calculated as half the difference between P.0237
and P.0236. However, it is limited by the maximum value set with parameter P.0201. The
hysteresis applies to:
 Upwards towards minimum frequency threshold (i.e., with the default values of the
parameters, between 45.00 Hz and 46.25 Hz).
 Downwards towards maximum frequency threshold (i.e., with the default values of the
These values define the following bands:
0.00 .
A band: low
45.00 .
B band: hysteresis
46.25 .
C band: in tolerance
53.75 .
D band: hysteresis
55.00 .
G band: high
XXX .
If the frequency is within the bands “B” o “D”, previous status is maintained (hysteresis). For
example, in case the voltage was within the “C” band and is now within the “D” band, it is
anyway considered “In tolerance”. On the other hand, in case the frequency was within the “C”
band, and now is within “D” band, it is considered “Low”.

P.0116 Rated voltage 400 Vac 400

P.0203 Low voltage threshold 80.0 % 320
P.0204 High voltage threshold 110.0 % 440
P.0201 Maximum hysteresis 2.5 % 10
To disable this check, one of the following conditions shall be true:
 P.0203 = 0%.
 P.0204 = 0%.
 P.0204 = 200%.
 P.0203 >= P.0204
The hysteresis on the various thresholds is calculated as half the difference between P.0204
and P.0203. However, it is limited by the maximum value set with parameter P.0201. The
hysteresis applies to:
 Downwards towards mains presence threshold (i.e., with the default values of the
parameters, between 70 Vac and 80 Vac).

 Upward towards low voltage threshold (i.e., with the default values of the parameters,
between 320 Vac and 330 Vac).
 Downwards towards high voltage threshold (i.e., with the default values of the

If the voltage is in the “B”, “D” or “F” bands, previous status is maintained (hysteresis). For
example, if the voltage was in the “E” band and now it is in “D” band, it is considered however
“In tolerance”. On the contrary, if voltage was in the “C” band and now is in “D” band, it is
considered “Low”.
These controls are managed at a single-phase level. In three-phase systems phase-to-phase

voltages are used, phase voltage in single-phase systems.
Parameter Description Default value Voltage in Volts

P.0238 Mains unbalance threshold 10.0 % 40
In three-phases systems, the mains can be 'out of tolerance' in case the absolute value of the
three phase-to-phase voltages differs more than the set threshold. The control is disabled on
single-phase systems.
Note: DST4602 makes no verification on the displacement angle of the three phases, but only
on the amplitude of phase-to-phase voltages.
To disable this check, simply set parameter P.0238 to zero.
With the default values of the parameters, if the difference in absolute value between whatever
two phase-to-phase voltages is higher than 40 Vac, the mains is considered out of tolerance.
If the differences in absolute value among phase-to-phase voltages are all lower than 40 Vac,
the mains is considered within tolerance. No hysteresis is managed for this check.
Parameter Description Default value

P.0239 Required phase sequence 0-None
For three-phase systems mains can be 'out of tolerance' in case the rotation direction of the
three phase-to-phase voltages differs from the specification set with parameter P.0239. On
single-phase systems this control is disabled.
To disable this check, simply set parameter P.0239 to “0-None”.

With P.0239 parameter it is possible to select the direction of rotation required for the mains:
"1-clockwise" or "2-anticlockwise". The mains is considered "out of tolerance" if the actual
direction of rotation differs from the configured one.
In order to diagnose the mains “global” status, the following algorithms are used, shown in
their computing order:
 If all voltages and frequency are in a status of "Not present", also the global status is
"Not present".
 If all voltages and frequency are in a status of "Within tolerance", also the global status
is "Within tolerance". In this case, if the control of the direction of rotation or the control
on the asymmetry do not give a positive outcome, the mains is considered "Low".
 In case the status of at least one voltage or the frequency is “High”, also the global
status is “High”.
 In case none of the previous conditions occurs, global status is “Low”.
What described in this paragraph shall not apply if the status of the mains is acquired via
PMCB CAN-BUS or via one or more MC100 boards.
Whichever the method used to acquire the mains instant status, to the extent of the plant
operation logics, the mains global status is described in four steps:
Mains in
When the time set with tolerance
P.0205 (0 seconds in Mains out of tolerance
MAN) has elapsed.
Mains in tolerance
Mains failure
Mains delay
availability Mains in tolerance
delay
When the time set with

Mains out of P.0206 (two seconds if the
Mains out of tolerance tolerance generator is "ready to
supply", 0 seconds if GCB is
already closed) has elapsed.
The board records the following events if the status of the mains changes (if enabled with the
bit 1 of P.0441 parameter):
 EVT.1010: the new status of the mains is steadily "not present or out of tolerance".
 EVT.1011: the new status of the mains is “present out of tolerance”.
 EVT.1012: the new status of the mains is steadily “within tolerance”.

The MAINS LIVE light indicates the status of the mains (see description in 6.4).
The following functions for the configuration of the digital outputs are linked to the status of the
mains:
 DOF.3033 (“Mains within tolerance”): the output is activated if the mains is steadily
within tolerance and also during the delay due to "mains out of tolerance". .
o ST.016: the output is activated if there is voltage on the mains (even if it is out
of tolerance).
o ST.017: the output is activated if the mains is steadily "out of tolerance" (or
not present).
o ST.018: the output is activated when the mains is instantly within tolerance,
and the delay due to "mains within tolerance" is ongoing.
o ST.019: the output is activated if the mains is steadily "within tolerance".
o ST.020: the output is activated when the mains is instantly out of tolerance (or
not present), and the delay due to "mains out of tolerance" is ongoing.
The following functions for the configuration of the analogue outputs are linked to the
management of the mains. The outputs are controlled according to the dimension of an
analogue value of the mains. Use the "conversion curves" to adapt the single value to the
output (0-100%):
 AOF.3201 ("mains frequency").
 AOF.3211 ("average mains voltage").
 AOF.3221 ("active mains power").
DST4602 acquires generator (single or three-phase) voltage and frequency in order to protect
the loads and the generator itself from operating outside its tolerance thresholds.
For connecting the generator to the DST4602, see paragraph 5.
DST4602 manages two types of generators: synchronous generators and asynchronous

generators. Use P.0100 parameter to select the type of generator.
Set the generator rated voltage in P.0102 parameter (Vac, set the phase-to-phase rated
voltage on three-phase systems). Set the generator rated frequency in P.0105 parameter (Hz).
Set the generator rated power in P.0106 parameter (kVA).
It is important to set these data because the thresholds for some protections are expressed
as their percentage. Moreover, the board calculates the rated current of the system from these
parameters:
P.0106 * 1000
I nom 
Single-phase system: P.0102

 ( P.0106 *1000) 
 3 
I nom  
 P.0102 
 
Three-phase system:  3
This type of generator can only be used for power generation in parallel with the mains. Its
particularity, in fact, is not to generate any voltage if it is not in parallel with the mains. The
type of system should therefore be SPtM or MPTM and GCB switch should be "not
synchronized" (P.0854 parameter, see document [3])
The working sequence is therefore different from the one of normal synchronous generators
operated by the board:
 The engine is started only if the mains is present and the parallel with the mains is
allowed.
 DST4602 can recognize "started engine" and "engine at operating speed" conditions
only through the engine rotation speed. DST4602 should therefore acquire this a
measure, through its measurement inputs or via CAN0 CAN-BUS line (see 9.4.1).
 Before closing GCB switch, DST4602 verifies whether there is voltage on the parallel
bars: the closing of GCB is however performed without synchronization, because until
the GCB is closed, the generator does not generate any tension.

Generator minimum and maximum frequency thresholds are used: as they are percentage
values, in this case they are referred to rated speed (see 9.4.2), instead to rated frequency.
The hysteresis on the various thresholds is set with P.0201 parameter. The hysteresis applies
to:
parameters, between 1350 and 1385.7 rpm).

If the rotation speed is in "B", "D" or "F" brackets, it keeps the status it had before (hysteresis).
For example, if the rotation speed was in "E" bracket and now is in "D" bracket, it is still
considered "within tolerance". On the contrary, if voltage was in the “C” band and now is in “D”
band, it is considered “Low”.
For asynchronous generators, the condition of "engine at operating speed" corresponds to the
"generator within tolerance" condition. What described in 9.3.4 is then valid.
In the management of asynchronous generators, it is customary to use resistances to allow

the magnetization of the generator. These resistances are inserted one second before the
closing of GCB switch: they connect the mains to the generator (bypassing GCB switch),
allowing a (limited) circulation of current in the generator. This current is therefore used for the
magnetisation of the generator.
These resistances are short-circuited by GCB switch, once it is closed. If GCB cannot be
closed, however, these resistances heat up a lot. Their use is not allowed for a period longer
than three seconds: expired this time (with GCB still open) the board disconnects the
resistances and prevents a new closing of GCB for the time set with P.0257 parameter, to
allow the resistances to cool down before using them again.
DST4602 provides for DOF.2121 function ("Magnetization of the asynchronous generator") for
the configuration of the digital output that should control the remote-control switch that
connects/disconnects magnetization resistances: the board activates the output when it wants
to insert the resistances.
GCB closing sequence is therefore:
 Activation of DOF.2121 output and subsequent insertion of the resistances.
 Waiting for one second to allow the magnetization of the generator.
 Activation of the control for the closing of GCB switch.
 If GCB closes, the board disconnects the resistances and the procedure ends.
 If GCB cannot be closed within three seconds, the board removes the control to close
GCB, disconnects the resistances and waits P.0257 seconds. Then the sequence
restarts from the beginning.
Note that the attempt to close GCB lasts two seconds, regardless of the time set on the digital
input that acquires its feedback (in order to not leave the resistances inserted for more than
three seconds).
In the management of asynchronous generators, it is customary to use capacitors for the

correction of the power factor of the same generator.
DST4602 provides for DOF.2122 function ("Power-factor capacitors") to configure the digital
output that should control the remote-control switch that connects/disconnects the capacitors.
The board enables the output to connect the capacitors after P.0258 time ("Delay for the
insertion of power-factor capacitors") from the closing of GCB switch. The output is deactivated
as soon as GCB switch is opened.

To determine the status of the generator, the board controls both voltage and frequency of the
generator.

considered “Low”.
These controls are managed at a single-phase level. In three-phase systems phase-to-phase

voltages are used, phase voltage in single-phase systems.
Thresholds P.0301 and P.0303 are used also to manage the generator protections on voltage.
These protections can be individually disabled setting to zero the relevant parameter that
specifies the delay (respectively P.0302 and P.0304). Thresholds are however used in order
to define voltage status: this allows not to switch the loads on the generator if the electrical
magnitudes are out of the tolerance band, even though protections are disabled.
In order to diagnose the "global" status of the synchronous generator, the following algorithms
are used, computed in the order they are presented:
 If all voltages and frequency are in a status of "Not present", also the global status is
"Not present".
 If all voltages and frequency are in a status of "Within tolerance", also the global status
is "Within tolerance".
 In case the status of at least one voltage or the frequency is “High”, also the global
status is “High”.
 In case none of the previous conditions occurs, global status is “Low”.

For general management purposes, generator operation can be described in three steps:
 Permanently out of tolerance: the status of voltages and/or frequency of the

generator (or of the rotation speed for asynchronous generators) should be different
from "Within tolerance" consecutively for two seconds.
 Steady present: generator's voltages and frequency status must be fully “in
tolerance” for at least 0.5 seconds.
 Transitory: during the transition between the two previous statuses.
The board records the following events if the status of the generator changes (if enabled by
the bit 2 of P.0441 parameter):
 EVT.1020: the new status of the generator is steadily "not present or out of tolerance".
 EVT.1021: the new status of the generator is "present out of tolerance".
 EVT.1022: the new status of the generator is steadily "within tolerance".
The GENERATOR LIVE light indicates the status of the generator (see description in 6.4).
The following functions for the configuration of the digital outputs are related to the status of
the generator:
 DOF.3032 (“Generator within tolerance”): the output is activated if the generator is

steadily within tolerance, or in the delay before stating it "out of tolerance".
o ST.024: the output is activated if there is voltage on the generator (even if it

is out of tolerance).
o ST.025: the output is activated if the generator is steadily "out of tolerance"

(or absent).
o ST.026: the output is activated when the generator is instantly within

tolerance, and the delay due to "generator within tolerance" is in progress.
o ST.027: the output is activated if the generator is steadily "within tolerance".
o ST.028: the output is activated when the generator is instantly out of tolerance
(or absent), and the delay due to "generator out of tolerance" is in progress.
The following functions to configure the analogue outputs are linked to the management of the
generator. The outputs are controlled according to the dimension of an analogue value of the
generator. Use the "conversion curves" to adapt the single value to the output (0-100%):
 AOF.3101 ("generator frequency").
 AOF.3111 ("generator average voltage").
 AOF.3121 ("generator active power").

DST4602 can start, stop and protect the engine by means of a series of thresholds on the
acquired measures (oil pressure, coolant temperature, speed etc.).
DST4602 allows specifying the rated power of the engine (P.0125 parameter, in kW). It is
important to set this figure, because the thresholds for some protections are expressed as its
percentage.
Moreover, all PI controllers that manage the active power during delivery in parallel with other
generators or with the mains, work with percentages of power values referred to this
parameter: the modification of this parameter may require a new calibration of PI controllers
(see document [3]).
The generators are usually designed to work with both the most common frequencies (50Hz
and 60Hz). Obviously, at different frequencies, the rated rotation speed of the engine varies.
Because some thresholds are expressed as a percentage of rated speed, DST4602 should
know the present rated speed.
DST4602 allows setting two nominal rotation speeds for the engine via P.0133 and P.0134
parameters (both expressed in kW): it uses the one specified in P.0133 ("Primary engine rated
speed") if the nominal frequency (P.0105) is lower than 55 Hz, otherwise it uses P.0134
parameter ("Secondary engine rated speed").
The board is able to perform a measurement of the engine rotation speed, in order to display
it, optionally use it to diagnose the statuses of started/stopped engine, and optionally use it to
manage a maximum speed protection (A018).
DST4602 can acquire this measure in different ways, listed in the order in which they are
assessed:
 The measure can be acquired by a pick-up on the engine. See initial chapters for the
connection of the signal. To enable this measure, in P.0110 parameter the number of
teeth of the rim on which the pick-up works should be set. This is a known value and,
anyway, easily computed If P.0110 is set to a nonzero value, the following points are
ignored.
 The measure can be acquired by the signal W of the engine battery charging
alternator. See initial chapters for the connection of the signal. To enable this
measure, it is necessary to set the ratio between the frequency of the signal W and
the rotation speed in P.0111 parameter (expressed in revolutions/second) of the
engine, and P.0110 parameter should be set to zero. This ratio depends on many
factors and it is not easy to calculate. If a frequency meter is available, simply start the
engine (it will run at is rated and known speed, i.e. 1,500 rpm) and measure the W
signal frequency, and then calculate the ratio. If a frequency meter is not available,
the following method can be used:
o Set a random value for P.0111 (e.g. 15).
o Start the engine and, when at operating speed, note the rpm value shown by
the controller.
o Calculate the ratio between the displayed speed and the actual engine speed
(displayed/actual).
o Multiply the value previously set in P.0111 by this ratio and set the new value.

o Restarting the engine the speed measure should be close to the actual speed.
Then, manually adjust the value P.0111 until you get the right display,
considering that, for the same true speed, the value displayed by the controller
decreases when increasing P.0111. If P.0111 is set to a nonzero value, the
following points are ignored.
 To determine the engine speed, the generator frequency can also be used. In this
case, it is necessary to set the known ratio between engine rotation speed and the
frequency of the generator in P.0127 parameter, and P.0110 and P.0111 parameters
should set to zero. For example, a normal generator works at 1500 rpm to deliver
50Hz: set P.0127 to 30 (1500/50). If P.0127 is set to a nonzero value, the following
points are ignored.
 The board can also read the engine rotation speed directly from the electronic control
unit (ECU) of the engine itself through the CAN0 CAN-BUS. To do this, it is simply
necessary to enable the CAN-BUS (P.0700 different from zero), and P.0110, P.0111
and P.0127 parameters should be set to zero.
DST4602 is able to acquire a great number of analogue measurements from the engine. For
electronic engines, these measures are usually read directly from the ECU of the engine
through the CAN-BUS connection.
Anyway, it is possible to configure the analogue inputs from the board and from the expansion
modules to acquire these measures. If the same measure is acquired by an analogue input
and received by the ECU of the engine via CAN-BUS, the one acquired by the analogue inputs
is used.
The following functions are available for the configuration of the analogue inputs:
 AIF.1000 (“oil pressure – VDO”). This function can only be used for analogue input 3.
DST4602 automatically uses the characteristic curve of 0-10 bar VDO sensor (10 Ohm
0 bar, 180 Ohm 10 bar).
 AIF.1001 (“oil pressure – generic”). Use a conversion curve to configure the sensor.
 AIF.1100 (“oil temperature – VDO”). This function can only be used for analogue
inputs 4 and 5. DST4602 automatically uses the characteristic curve of 0-120 °C VDO
sensor (290 Ohm 40 °C, 10 Ohm 150 °C).
 AIF.1101 (“oil temperature – generic”). Use a conversion curve to configure the

sensor.
 AIF.1110 (“coolant temperature – VDO”). This function can only be used for analogue
inputs 4 and 5. DST4602 automatically uses the characteristic curve of 0-120 °C VDO
sensor (290 Ohm 40 °C, 10 Ohm 150 °C).
 AIF.1111 (“coolant temperature – generic”). Use a conversion curve to configure the

sensor.
 AIF.1200 (“oil level – VDO”). This function can only be used for analogue input 5.
DST4602 automatically uses the characteristic curve of VDO sensor (10 Ohm 100%,
180 Ohm 0%).
 AIF.1201 (“oil level – generic”). Use a conversion curve to configure the sensor.
 AIF.1210 (“coolant level – VDO”). This function can only be used for analogue input
5. DST4602 automatically uses the characteristic curve of VDO sensor (10 Ohm
100%, 180 Ohm 0%).

 AIF.1211 (“coolant level – generic”). Use a conversion curve to configure the sensor.
 AIF.1220 (“fuel level – VDO”). This function can only be used for analogue input 5.
DST4602 automatically uses the characteristic curve of VDO sensor (10 Ohm 100%,
180 Ohm 0%).
 AIF.1221 (“fuel level – generic”). Use a conversion curve to configure the sensor.
 AIF.1601 - "air temperature in the intake pipe" Use a conversion curve to configure
the sensor.
 AIF.1603 (“exhaust gas temperature – left bank”). Use a conversion curve to configure
the sensor.
 AIF.1605 (“exhaust gas temperature – right bank”). Use a conversion curve to

configure the sensor.
 AIF.1641 (“pressure of air coming out from the turbocharger”). Use a conversion curve
to configure the sensor.
There are six possible ways to define whether the engine is running or not:
 Directly from the electronic control unit (ECU) of the engine (if connected via CAN0
CAN-BUS, P.0700 <> 0).
 Engine speed (RPM) The engine is considered to be in motion if the rotation speed is
above P.0225 threshold ("Started engine threshold (rpm)"; it is considered stopped if
the rotation speed is below P.0224 threshold ("Stopped engine threshold (rpm)"). This
control is not used if:
o The rotation speed is not available (see above).
o P.0224=0.
o P.0225=0.
o P.0224 > P.0225.
 From the voltage of the signal D + of the engine battery charger alternator. The engine
is considered to be in motion if the tension +D is above P.0230 threshold ("Started
engine threshold (+D)"; it is considered stopped if the rotation speed is below P.0231
threshold ("Stopped engine threshold (+D)"). This control is not used if:
o The measurement of voltage +D is not available (P.4041 set with a different

function from DIF.1300 "Signal +D").
o P.0230=0.
o P.0231=0.
o P.0230 > P.0231.
 From low and/or minimum lubricant pressure contacts. Note: this control is only
available on the contacts, not with measurement thresholds on lubricant pressure
measurement. The engine is considered to be in motion if at least one of the contacts
is open (if there is pressure); it is considered stopped if all the contacts are closed (no
pressure). This control is not used if:
o No digital input acquires low and/or minimum lubricant pressure contacts (no
input configured with DIF.4221 and DIF.4222 functions).
o If P.0232 parameter ("Engine started from oil pressure contacts") is set to

zero.

 From generator voltage. The engine is considered to be in motion if the tension is
above P.0227 threshold ("Started engine threshold (V)"; it is considered stopped if the
tension is below P.0226 threshold ("Stopped engine threshold (V)"). This control is not
used if:
o P.0226=0.
o P.0227=0.
o P.0226 > P.0227.
 From generator frequency. The engine is considered to be in motion if the frequency

is above P.0229 threshold ("Started engine threshold (Hz)"; it is considered stopped
if the frequency is below P.0228 threshold ("Stopped engine threshold (Hz)"). This
control is not used if:
o P.0228=0.
o P.0229=0.
o P.0228 > P.0229.
To acknowledge engine running status, at least one of the previous conditions must be
continuously present for at least 0.2 seconds. The board will immediately disable the starter
motor control (and will prevent a new starting) if it diagnostics a running engine.
The engine is considered stopped if all the previous conditions are met (all the enabled ones)
continuously for five seconds.
The board is able to handle many digital outputs to control the engine. As follows, there is the
list of functions for the configuration of digital outputs, with an acronym used below and a
description:
Function Acronym Description
DOF.1001 GLOW_PLUGS Command for Diesel engines glow-plugs preheating.
DOF.1002 ECU_ENABLE Enabling control for the engine control unit. It is activated
along with the FUEL control, but may be deactivated after
the FUEL control (useful to stop electronic engines, without
causing vacuums in the fuel pipes).
DOF.1003 FUEL Fuel solenoid valve control.
DOF.1004 GAS Gas solenoid valve control (gas engines only).
DOF.1005 START Starter motor control.
DOF.1006 STOP Solenoid control for the stopping of the engine.
DOF.1007 IDLE Control to activate engine reduced speed (IDLE).
DOF.1008 BATT1 Control used to manage the dual battery.
DOF.1009 BATT2 Control used to manage the dual battery.
DOF.1031 PREHEAT Engine preheating control.
DOF.1033 PRELUBE Engine pre-lubrication control.
All digital outputs of the board are configurable, it is therefore possible to associate in all ways
the controls of the engine to the outputs of the board (use P.3001 parameters and following
ones, with the functions listed in the table). With the factory configuration of parameters, some
controls are pre-assigned:
 STOP: output 4 (J5-5).
 START: output 5 (J5-7).
 FUEL: output 6 (J5-8).

The controls are also available as internal statuses for AND/OR logics (DOF.0103):
 ST.128 (GLOW_PLUGS).
 ST.129 (ECU_ENABLE).
 ST.130 (FUEL).
 ST.131 (GAS).
 ST.132 (START).
 ST.133 (STOP).
 ST.134 (IDLE).
 ST.135 (PREHEAT).
 ST.136 (PRELUBE).
As follows, the controls are described individually.
Note: for electronic engines connected via CAN0 CAN-BUS to DST4602, many of these
controls are managed directly through the CAN-BUS connection, and therefore it is not
necessary to configure the outputs. If the outputs are configured, the board controls them,
regardless of the fact that the engine is connected in CAN-BUS.
The board is capable of controlling an external heating system, in order to maintain the
temperature of the engine cooling liquid above a specific temperature. This to heat the engine
as a whole, so that it is ready to deliver at any time.
This function is disabled if the board does not acquire the temperature of the cooling liquid
(neither via CAN-BUS from the engine control board nor through the analogue inputs -
AIF.1110 or AIF.1111 functions).
The function is configured via P.0355 and P.0356 parameters:
 P.0355: temperature below which the heating system must activate.
 P.0356: temperature above which the one the heating system must deactivate.
The threshold P.0356 must be set to a value higher than P.0355: the two thresholds guarantee
a hysteresis in order to avoid continue turn the heating system on/off due to minimum
temperature shifts. The heating activates if the temperature drops below the threshold P.0355
for at least one second; it turns off when the temperature rises above the threshold P.0356 for
at least one second.
This function is always active, even when the engine is running: it is clear however that when
the engine is running, the temperature of the coolant will always be higher than P.0356
threshold, therefore the heating system will always be disabled.
The board is capable of controlling the engine pre-lubrication pump. In practice, before starting
the engine (so when the mechanic pump of the engine is not working yet), the board can
control an auxiliary pump in order to have the lubricating oil already under pressure when the
engine starts moving.
To enable this function, it is necessary to set P.0242 parameter ("Maximum duration of pre-
lubrication cycle") to a value other than zero.

The board activates the pre-lubrication control at the beginning of the starting cycle, along with
the opening of the fuel solenoid valve. The output is active for the entire pre-lubrication cycle:
it ends after P.0242 seconds, or if the board realizes that the lubricating oil is under pressure.
The board considers that the lubricating oil is under pressure if at least one of the following
conditions is met:
 If the board acquires the measurement of the lubricant pressure (from the engine
control unit via CAN0 CAN-BUS, or via the analogue inputs, AIF.1000 or AIF.1001
functions):
o If the lubricant low pressure threshold is set (P.0339 <> 0), when the
measured pressure is higher than the threshold.
o If the lubricant low pressure threshold is not configured, but minimum

pressure threshold is configured (P.0341 <> 0), when the measured pressure
is higher than the threshold.
 If the board does not acquire the measurement of lubricant pressure, or if both P.0339
and P.0341 thresholds are set to zero:
o If the digital input is configured to acquire "oil low pressure" (DIF.4222), when
this input is not active.
o If no digital input is configured to acquire "oil low pressure", but the digital
input to acquire the "oil low pressure" (DIF.4221) is configured, when this input
is not active.
When the pre-lubrication cycle is ended, the starting sequence goes on (with the starter
motor): The pre-lubrication controls remains anyway active until the engine actually starts or
until the starting sequence is interrupted. In case of repeated attempts to start, the pre-
lubrication control persists: the time configured with P.0242 is counted, but only during the first
attempt.
This control is intended for the old diesel engines, for which it was necessary to heat glow
plugs before starting the engine. It can still be used to insert a delay between the opening of
the fuel solenoid valve and the starter motor control: sometimes, as a matter of fact, if the two
controls are activated together, the vacuum in the fuel ducts caused by the starter motor does
not allow the correct opening of the valve (it gets stuck).
To enable this function, it is necessary to set P.0209 parameter ("Pre-heating cycle maximum
duration") to a value other than zero.
The controller activates the glow plugs pre-heating command at the beginning of the starting
cycle, along with the opening of the fuel solenoid valve. The output remains active throughout
the glow plugs pre-heating cycle: it ends after P.0209 seconds.
When the cycle ends, the starting sequence goes on (with the starter motor control): the glow
plugs pre-heating control remains active until the engine actually starts or until the starting
sequence is interrupted. In case of repeated attempts to start, the glow plugs pre-heating
control goes on: the time configured with P.0209 is counted, but only during the first attempt.
Warning: the glow plugs pre-heating cycle is performed simultaneously with the pre-lubrication
cycle. If P.0242 parameter is set to a value higher than P.0209, the glow plugs pre-heating
cycle will last P.0242 seconds as well.
The controller can control engine startups alternately managing two battery sets in order to
ensure engine startups. To use this function requires at least one output configured with
function DOF.1008 (BATT1).

If only BATT1 output is configured, then the controller activates this output to select battery
#1, it disables this output to select battery #2.
If both BATT1 and BATT2 outputs are configured, then the active board activates BATT1
output to select battery #1 and BATT2 output to select battery #2. It also guarantees a
minimum time of two seconds with both outputs off during the shift between battery #1 and
battery #2.
Finally, DST4602 guarantees a minimum delay of two seconds between the selection of a
battery and the starter motor control.
In automatic, the board performs on battery #1 the number of starting attempts configured with
P.0211 parameter. If the engine does not start, it switches on battery # 2 and performs again
the same number of starting attempts. If the engine has not been started yet, it activates A022
shutdown ("failure to start").
In manual mode, the board always performs only one starting attempt, and then it always
performs it on battery #1.
The automatic starting sequence is:
 BATT1 output enabled, BATT2 output disabled.
 2-second wait (note 1).
 First startup attempt.
 Pause
 …...
 Last startup attempt.
 2 seconds delay
 BATT1 output disabled, BATT2 output disabled.
 2 seconds delay
 Only if BATT2 output exists: BATT1 output disabled, BATT2 output enabled.
 Only if BATT2 output exists: 2-second wait (note 2).
 First startup attempt with the second battery.
 Pause
 …...
 Last startup attempt with the second battery.
 Failed startup alarm.
 2 seconds delay.
 BATT1 output disabled, BATT2 output disabled.
Note 1: the two-second initial delay between the selection of battery #1 and the starter motor
control is performed at the same time of the pre-lubrication cycle and the glow plugs pre-
heating cycle, and it could be extended to the longer time between those configured in P.0242
and P.0209.
If the engine starts up, the sequence ends. The output BATT1 or BATT2 active in that moment
is disabled after a 2 seconds delay after detecting started engine.

These two controls are activated simultaneously at the beginning of the starting sequence.
Both remain active even with started engine, until the starting of the shutdown sequence:
The ECU_ENABLE control is removed immediately at the beginning of the shutdown

sequence.
The FUEL control is removed after P.0234 seconds ("delay between STOP and FUEL
controls") from the starting of the stopping cycle.
The FUEL control should be used to control the solenoid valve placed on the fuel line. At the
beginning of the starting sequence, the board opens the valve, thus allowing the fuel to get to
the engine. At the beginning of the stopping sequence, the board closes the solenoid valve:
the engine receives no more fuel and then it stops.
The ECU_ENABLE control should be used to give a consent to the starting of electronic control
units of the engines. Lacking this consent, it is reflected in the shutdown of the fuel injection
system: therefore, without this consent then the engine cannot start, but instead it will be
stopped if it was running.
If ECU_ENABLE (not present) or STOP (present) controls are used to stop the engine, but a
solenoid valve is anyway present on the fuel line, it is possible that the vacuum in the fuel
circuit caused by the engine that is stopping may prevent the correct movement of the solenoid
valve. In these cases, by using P.0234 parameter, it is possible to delay the closing control of
the fuel solenoid valve with reference to the stop control (ECU_ENABLE or STOP) of the
engine: the engine is stopped through its own stopping system and, when the engine is
stopped, the fuel solenoid valve can be closed.
This control should be used for the direct control of the starter motor. The board enables the
START output to start the engine, and shall remove it immediately when it detects a "started
engine" status (see 9.4.5). In this way, it ensures the immediate release of the starter motor
ring gear, therefore avoiding that the starter motor is dragged by the engine. In case of failure
to start, the board deactivates the START output at the end of the starting attempt.
The duration of each starting attempt is automatically determined by the P.0210 parameter
("Duration of the starting control"). This duration may be increased for gas engines (see
below).
The starting cycles in MAN controlled by the START key last exactly as long as the key is
pressed. If controlled through the serial port, the instructions for the automatic are valid.
This control only makes sense for GAS engines. The aim is to perform the washing cycle of
the engine. When a GAS engine is turned off, in the feeding circuit unburned gas is still
present. If it is not disposed of before the next starting, it could be dangerous because it could
explode unrestrainedly. Therefore, each time the engine is started, the washing cycle to
remove this unburned gas is performed. The cycle consists in making the engine run, through
the starting motor, without opening the GAS valve: the vacuum caused by the engine is enough
to remove the unburned gas.
This function is enabled by setting P.0241 parameter to a value higher than zero. The GAS
solenoid valve is opened after P.0241 seconds from the time the starter motor was activated
(START): for this reason, if the duration of the starting cycle (P.0210) is lower than P.0241
parameter, it is automatically lengthened to a second more than P.0241.
If the starting attempt ends without that the engine has started, the board closes the GAS valve
and, at the next starting attempt, the washing cycle will be repeated.

This control is used in systems where it is preferred to give priority to the supply by the
generator. When the FUEL control is used, as a matter of fact, a failure of the solenoid valve
control system results in its closure, and the resultant stop of engine as a consequence.
The STOP control is instead active only during the stopping cycle. Its purpose is to block the
flow of fuel to the engine only during the stopping phase: when the engine has been stopped,
the output is disabled, so allowing the reopening of the fuel pipeline. In this case, it is always
possible to start the engine, even at the presence of a fault on the STOP control: at the limit it
will not be possible to stop the engine.
The STOP control is activated at the beginning of the stopping cycle, at the same time when
the ECU_ENABLE control is removed. The STOP control will remain active for the time set
with P.0213 parameter ("Duration of the stop control").
Note: If the engine stops in a shorter time, and a restarting of the engine is required, the STOP
control is disabled before.
This control is used to activate the reduced rotation speed, directly on the rpm regulator of the
engine.
The output is active during the entire IDLE cycle. Note: if there is a request for IDLE before
starting the engine, the control will be already active from the beginning of the starting
sequence. Similarly, if the IDLE request is active during the stopping cycle, the control is active
as well.
The IDLE cycle can be requested in two ways:
 By setting a nonzero delay in P.0233 parameter ("Low speed cycle duration"). The
board performs an IDLE cycle at each stating of the engine (both manual and
automatic). The maximum duration of the IDLE cycle is the one set with P.0233
parameter. It is however possible to link the duration of the cycle to the temperature
of the coolant. By setting a nonzero value in P.0223 parameter ("Minimum
temperature for the consent to supply"), the board monitors the temperature of the
coolant and, as soon as it is above P.0223 threshold, it stops the IDLE cycle.
 With a digital input configured with DIF.2061 function ("Request for reduced speed").
When the input is active, the board runs the IDLE cycle.
During the IDLE cycle, minimum frequency and minimum voltage protections of the generator
are disabled. At the end of the IDLE cycle, before enabling the protections, the board requires
that voltages and frequency are within tolerance: if it is not the case, the board activates A008
shutdown ("no steady status").
During the IDLE cycle the board does not allow the closing of GCB switch. If the IDLE cycle is
requested (with the digital input) while GCB is closed, the board opens GCB switch first (in
case by discharging power if the generator is parallel to anything), and then activates the IDLE
control.
DST4602 provides for DIF.2709 function ("Consent to starting") for the configuration of the
digital inputs.
The board uses this input as consent to starting: if the starting of the engine is required and
there is an input configured with this function, DST4602 waits until the input is active before
performing the starting cycle. When the starting is initiated, the input is not more checked (it
can also be deactivated). The purpose of this input is to manage external sequences, such as,
for example, the pre-ventilation of the room where the generator is installed. Example of use:

 When the board receives a request to start, its internal management mode shifts to
"start", but if the digital input is not active, the actual starting procedure will not be
performed.
 The internal "start" status can activate a digital output (DOF.0103 function "AND/OR
logics" with ST.036 status). This output can activate the external pre-ventilation
sequence.
 When the external sequence is finished, it will have to activate the digital input
configured as DIF.2709: at this point, DST4602 goes on with the starting of the engine.
This function is particularly useful when DST4602 should work with a MC100 board. In this
case, in fact, it is not possible to use the "inhibition to automatic intervention" function to
prevent the starting of the engine during the pre-ventilation phase (or others): MC100, in fact,
when it wants to start a generator, switches the related DST4602 to REMOTE START, where
the requests for "inhibition to automatic intervention" are ignored.
It is also useful if the external sequences should be performed also in MAN (because in MAN
the requests of "inhibition to automatic intervention" are ignored).
With the board in MAN, it is possible to request the starting of the engine in three ways:
 With the START key of the panel. The sequence is entirely entrusted to the operator,
who should hold the START key until the starting of the engine. If the engine starts,
the board will automatically remove the control of the starter motor.
If the operator releases the START key when the engine has not been started yet, the
board leaves the fuel (also GAS) circuit open for 10 seconds (to check if the engine
starts): then, in case, it starts an automatic stop cycle. Starting from version 00.64, the
GAS valve is immediately closed when the START key is released (if the engine is not
started).
During the manual start, the board will automatically perform pre-lubrication, glow
plugs pre-heating and cleaning cycles. The starting is always performed with battery
#1 (if two batteries are configured).
 With a digital input configured with DIF.2033 function ("Manual starting control"). This
input is managed exactly as the START key: same as said above.
 It is possible to control the starting of the engine manually with a control through the
serial ports. These controls can be enabled by a digital input configured with DIF.2706
function - "Enable controls from the serial ports": if this input exists, it should be active.
To start the engine manually, it is necessary to write (within 5 seconds) the Modbus
registers in sequence:
P.0004.
o HOLDING REGISTER 102: enter the value “11”.
In response to this control, the board performs the starting as if it were in automatic.
But it performs only one start attempt, and if it fails, it does not activate A022 "failure
to start" shutdown.
Note: if the starting is requested in MAN when the engine is already running (but it was not
started by the board), DST4602 acknowledges the situation: it activates all engine controls as
if it had started it, except for the starter motor, that is not activated.

With the board in MAN, it is possible to request the stopping of the engine in four ways:
 With the STOP key on the board panel of the card.
 With a digital input configured with DIF.2034 function ("Manual stop control"). This
input is managed exactly as the STOP key: same as said above.
 With a command from serial port. By writing a value "3" in the HOLDING REGISTER
20 Modbus register.
 It is possible to control the stopping of the engine manually with a control through the
serial ports. These controls can be enabled by a digital input configured with DIF.2706
function - "Enable controls from the serial ports": if this input exists, it should be active.
To start the engine manually, it is necessary to write (within 5 seconds) the Modbus
registers in sequence:
P.0004.
o HOLDING REGISTER 102: enter the value “21” or “22”.
In all cases, DST4602 performs an emergency automatic stop cycle.
Note: the stop cycle can also be performed with already stopped engine.
Before describing automatic start/stop procedures, it is necessary to define when the engine
should be started and stopped automatically.
The engine is started automatically if there are no shutdowns, discharges and deactivations
and if at least one of these conditions is present:
 If the TEST is activated (see 9.1).
 If the REMOTE START is activated (9.1).
 If there is no active "inhibition to automatic intervention" of the generator (see 9.5) and
the automatic intervention of the generator is required. This request depends on the
type of system (see [3]):
o Stand-alone production systems. The request for intervention is always

active.
o Emergency system to the mains. The request for intervention is active if the
mains is out of tolerance or if MCB switch is not closed (if configured).
o System for the production in parallel with the mains only. The request for
intervention is active when the mains is present and if voltage and frequency
measures authorize the parallel.
In automatic mode, the engine can be stopped in two ways:
 With normal procedure. After opening the GCB switch (possibly after discharging
power), the board performs a cooling cycle of the engine (only if previously the load
was connected to the generator), by keeping it running without load. This procedure
applies if:
o No automatic startup request is pending (see above)
o It triggers an "inhibition to automatic intervention", with the board in AUTO.

o An anomaly, qualified as “deactivation” or “discharge” occurred (it is an
anomaly typically dangerous for loads but not for the engine).
 With an emergency procedure. This procedure requires immediate engine stop,

without engine cooling cycle. It applies if:
o The key switch is turned on OFF/RESET
o Any anomaly described as a "shutdown" is activated. In automatic mode, the

stop commands from panel (STOP button), from serial port and from SMS are
included in this category since they activate the alarm A07 (manual stop in
auto mode).
The board automatically executes the number of starting attempts configured with P.0211
parameter ("Number of starting attempts") for each battery set. At the end, if the engine is not
started, it activates A022 shutdown - "Failure to start".
Each starting attempt has the maximum duration configured with P.0210 parameter ("Duration
of the starting control"). It however ends if the condition of started engine is detected. Within
the starting procedure, DST4602 automatically manages pre-lubrication, glow plugs pre-
heating and cleaning cycles.
Between a starting attempt and the next one, the board makes a pause with a duration
configured with P.0212 parameter ("Delay between two starts"). This pause may be longer
when the selected battery set is changed.
If, during a starting attempt, the board recognizes the started engine condition, it waits for the
maximum time configured with P.0217 parameter ("Maximum time for steady statuses") until
voltages and frequency of the generator are within tolerance:
 If during the pause the engine stops, the board will goes on with the next starting
attempts.
 If generator voltages and frequency are "within tolerance", the starting procedure is
ended: from this time on, also minimum voltage and minimum frequency protections
are active.
 If, at the end of the pause, voltages or frequency are not "within tolerance", the board
activates A008 shutdown "no steady status".
If the low speed cycle is required, the previous pause will be performed after it is finished.
At the end of the automatic starting procedure, the board manages a further delay that allows
the generator to stabilize/warm up before being connected to the load. This delay can be
configured with P.0218 parameter ("delay before delivery"): it does not work in MAN.
This procedure starts after the board has opened GCB switch (or at least after the board has
made an attempt to open). Any power discharge of the generator has already been done.
If during the automatic operations the board closed GCB switch, it considers that the generator
was heated by the load, and that it therefore needs to cool down before being stopped. Then
a cooling cycle is performed. It simply consists in keeping the engine started without load for
the time set with P.0215 parameter ("Duration of the cooling cycle"). Starting from version
00.73, the cooling cycle can be aborted before the time set with P.0215 if the coolant
temperature becomes lower than the threshold set with P.0271 parameter (if this threshold is
different from zero).
Often the generators have a whole range of auxiliary services (pumps, fans and so on) that
are essential for the proper functioning of the generator. These auxiliary services are normally
powered from an AC voltage: if this voltage is not available, the generator cannot stay in

motion. It often happens that, for example in generators that only produce in parallel with the
mains, these services are powered by mains voltage, and therefore the generator should be
stopped as soon as the mains fails.
DST4602 allows configuring the source from which these services are supplied, via P.0240
parameter ("The engine services are supplied by:"):
 0: generator voltage.
 1: voltage on the parallel bars.
 2: voltage on users.
 3: mains voltage.
If DST4602 realizes that there is no voltage on the selected source, the cooling cycle is
stopped immediately (this function works only on the cooling cycle, not in all the other
management phases of the engine). By setting P.0240 to "0", the board can always run the
cooling cycle.
The emergency stop procedure consists in stopping the engine without performing the cooling
cycle. This procedure is common also in the standard stop, after the cooling cycle.
During the stopping cycle, the board removes ECU_ENABLE and FUEL controls (the second
with P.0234 seconds of delay), and activates the STOP control for P.0213 seconds. The board
waits until the engine stops. The maximum duration of the shutdown cycle is configurable with
P.0214 parameter ("Duration of the stopping cycle"): if at the end of this phase the engine has
not stopped, A021 shutdown is activated - "Failure to stop".
Note: normally the stopping cycle lasts P.0214 seconds even if the engine stops in a shorter
time. If during the stopping cycle a new automatic intervention of the generator is required, the
same stopping cycle will be arrested only when the engine is completely stopped. In this case
DST4602 ensures that the STOP and FUEL controls do not overlap.
DST4602 provides a parameter that allows configuring a delay (from the moment when the
"started engine" condition is recognized) within which the oil pressure protections are disabled.
This is to allow time for the pump to pressurize oil and prevent false alarms. The delay is
configurable with P.0216 parameter ("Engine protection masking time").
The controller records the following events if the status of the engine varies (if enabled by the
 EVT.1040: if the motor is idle.
 EVT.1041: starting cycle in progress.
 EVT.1042: the engine is running.
 EVT.1043: cooling cycle in progress.
 EVT.1044: stopping cycle in progress.
 EVT.1045: low speed cycle in progress.
Moreover, the controller records the following events at the changing of start/stop requests (if
enabled by the bit 6 of P.0441 parameter):
 EVT.1050: manual start request.

 EVT.1050: manual arrest command.
 EVT.1052: starting automatic request.
 EVT.1053: stopping automatic request.
 EVT.1054: starting automatic request (from contact).
 EVT.1055: stopping automatic request (from contact).
 EVT.1056: starting automatic request (from serial port).
 EVT.1057: stopping automatic request (from serial port).
 EVT.1058: starting automatic request (from clock/calendar).
 EVT.1059: stopping automatic request (from clock/calendar).
 EVT.1060: starting automatic request (from SMS).
 EVT.1061: stopping automatic request (from SMS).
 EVT.1062: starting automatic request (for non-closed MCB).
 EVT.1063: starting automatic request (from MC100 board).
The following functions for the configuration of the digital inputs are linked to engine
management (besides those described for engine direct controls):
 DOF.3061: the output will be activated if the engine is in motion.
 DOF.3062 the output will be activated if the engine is in motion and if the “delay before
supplying” (P.0218) has been performed.
o ST.032: the output will be activated if the engine is in motion.
o ST.033: the output will be activated if the engine is in motion and if the “oil
protection masking” time span has elapsed (P.0216).
o ST.035: engine stopped.
o ST.036: starting cycle ongoing.
o ST.037: low speed cycle ongoing.
o ST.038: delay before supplying ongoing.
o ST.039: engine: ready for power delivery.
o ST.040: cooling cycle ongoing.
o ST.041: stopping cycle ongoing.
The following functions, for the configuration of analogue outputs, are linked to engine
management. The outputs are managed on the basis of an engine analogue value. Use the
"conversion curves" to adapt the single value to the output (0-100%):
 AOF.3001 (“engine speed”).
 AOF.3011 (“oil pressure”).

 AOF.3013 (“oil temperature”).
 AOF.3015 (“oil level”).
 AOF.3023 (“coolant temperature”).
 AOF.3025 (“coolant level”).
 AOF.3035 (“fuel level”).
The genset implements the full management of the fuel pump, in order to pump the fuel from
the storage tank to the tank on the generator. For the management of the pump, DST4602
has to acquire the fuel tank level on board of the generator: for this purpose, a float with
contacts or an analogue level sensor can be used (that can be selected through P.0401
parameter “type of sensor for fuel pump”).
Three functioning modes of the fuel pump are provided:
 MANUAL-OFF: the pump is deactivated.
 MANUAL-ON: the pump is activated in any case, and it is deactivated only with the
maximum level of the tank on board the generator.
 AUTOMATIC: the pump is activated and deactivated automatically on the basis of

the tank level on board the generator.
The functioning mode can be selected in five different ways:
 Through the digital inputs configured through the functions:
o DIF.2241: forces the pump in MANUAL-OFF mode.
o DIF.2242: forces the pump in MANUAL-ON mode.
o DIF.2243: forces the pump in AUTOMATIC mode.
If at least one of these inputs is active, the pump functioning mode is forced and
cannot be changed with the other methods described below. In case more than
one input is active simultaneously, higher priority is assigned to MANUAL-OFF,
followed by MANUAL-ON and then AUTOMATIC.
 By changing P.0400 parameter (“fuel pump mode”).
 “E.06” page of DST4602 display is dedicated to the fuel pump. From this page it is
possible to change the pump functioning mode:
o Use the ENTER button.
o Use UP and DOWN keys to select the required mode.
o Press ENTER to confirm or EXIT to abort.
Note: if no keys are pressed for 60 seconds, the modification procedure is

 Alternatively, DST4602 supplies a quick way to change the pump functioning mode:
by simultaneously pressing SHIFT + EXIT keys, the mode will be alternated between
“Manual-OFF” and “Manual-ON”. DST4602 forces the display on E.06 page.
 With a command from serial port. It is necessary to write Modbus HOLDING

REGISTER 20:

o By writing the value “13”, the functioning mode turns into MANUAL-OFF.
o By writing the value “14”, the functioning mode turns into MANUAL-ON.
o By writing the value “15”, the functioning mode turns into AUTOMATIC.
To use this function:
 The level analogue transducer should be connected to one of the analogue inputs of
DST4602 or to DIVIT expansion modules. The utilized analogue input should be
configured through AIF.1220 functions (dedicated to VDO sensor, 0%-180 Ohm,
100%-0 Ohm) or through AIF.1221 function (configurable).
 Set the thresholds to activate/deactivate the pump (parameters P.0402 and P.0403).
 In case they are configured, also minimum, low and high fuel level are used (P.0347,
P.0345, P.0343 parameters): they are used even if the relevant intervention times are
set to zero (to disable anomalies).
Very important is the thresholds setting which should be ranked by level (from down up), as
follows: minimum, low, start, stop, high. As already explained, the controller operates even if
thresholds are not in this order; all you need is the first three ones lower than the last two ones
(within each of the two groups they can be swapped, but it is not recommended).
To use this function, it is necessary to connect the contacts of the float to the analogue inputs
of the board, by using the functions:
 DIF.4211 (“Minimum fuel level”): input activated if the level is under minimum level
threshold.
 DIF.4212 (“Low fuel level"): input activated if the level is under low level threshold.
 DIF.3301 (“Level for the fuel pump starting”): input activated if the level is under pump
starting threshold.
 DIF.3302 (“Level for the fuel pump stop”): input activated if the level is under pump
stopping threshold.
 DIF.4213 (“High fuel level”): Input active if the level is above high level threshold.
The inputs configured through DIF.3301 and DIF.3302 functions are mandatory, the other
three are optional. If they are present, they will be used even if the delay for the relevant input
has been set to “0” to disable the anomaly.
The controller assigns the actual fuel level by calculating in the order all the following
evaluations:
 If the level is lower than the pump start threshold, the controller assigns the “start”
position.
 If a low level threshold exists, and the level is lower than threshold, the controller
assigns the “low” position.
 If a minimum level threshold exists, and the level is lower than the threshold, the
controller assigns the “minimum” position.
 If the level is higher than the stop threshold, the controller assigns the “stop” position.

 If a maximum level threshold exists, and the level is higher than the threshold, the
controller assigns the “maximum” position.
 If none of the previous condition is met, the controller assigns the “hysteresis” position.
DST4602 uses two controls to manage the fuel pump, that can be associated to any digital
output (P.3001 parameter and subsequent ones) with the functions:
 DOF.1032 (“Fuel pump”).
 DOF.1034 (“Fuel pump solenoid”).
The output for the pump control is mandatory (otherwise this function is disabled).
The output for the electromagnetic valve is optional. When it is used, it is necessary to
configure a delay in P.0405 parameter (“delay between solenoid valve and fuel pump”):
DST4602 guarantees the opening of the solenoid valve P.0405 seconds before activating the
pump, and the opening of the solenoid valve P.0405 seconds after closing the pump. All that
to avoid that the vacuum caused by the pump within the fuel circuit could bring about some
malfunctioning of the solenoid valve (it could get stuck).
DST4602 controls the pump on the basis of the fuel level and on the basis of the working
mode:
 AUTOMATIC. Referring to the position evaluated in the previous paragraph, the

pump:
o Activates if the level is “start”, “low” or “minimum”.
o Deactivates if the level is “stop” or “maximum”.
o Retains the actual command if in “hysteresis”.
 MANUAL-ON. Pump can be activated and deactivated according to operator needs.

However, the controller prevents the start if the level (see previous paragraphs) is
“stop” or “maximum”.
 MANUAL-OFF. The pump is deactivated
DST4602 can anyway stop the pump (even if the previous logic would require its start) when
the following conditions are present:
 In case anomalies activated by the digital inputs configured through the functions are
active:
o DIF.4051 “warning (turns off the fuel pump))”.
o DIF.4052 “unload (turns off the fuel pump))”.
o DIF.4053 “Deactivation (turns off the fuel pump))”.
o DIF.4054 “Lock (turns off the fuel pump))”.
Warning: it is the anomaly that stops the pump, not the activation of the input.
 In case anomalies activated by thresholds on analogue inputs are active

(P.4003...P.4008 parameters for analogue input 1). This happens only if the anomaly
has been specifically configured to stop the pump, through the bit 14 of the threshold
configuration parameter (P.4005 for the first threshold on the first analogue input).
Warning: it is the anomaly that stops the pump, not the activation of the input.

 Moreover, you can set the maximum fuel pump activation time with parameter P.0404.
This parameter should be used to set the time needed for the pump to fill the
equipment tank, in the worst conditions: empty tank and engine started at maximum
power. If the pump stays in motion (both from manual and automatic control) for a
longer time span, the board activates W064 early warning: in fact, it is likely the
presence of a failure of the pump or, anyway, that the pump is not drawing from the
storage tank. The pump is stopped until W064 early warning is activated: when the
operator “cancels” it, the pump restarts with another cycle.
 DST4602 allows configuring the electric source that has to supply the pump, through
P.0406 parameter (“Supplying of the fuel pump”):
o 0: generator voltage.
o 1: voltage on the parallel bars.
o 2: voltage on users.
o 3: mains voltage.
o 4: from an always present voltage.
If DST4602 detects that there isn't voltage on the selected source uninterruptedly
for five seconds, it will stop the pump (set P.0406 on “4” to disable this control).
 The pump is disabled in OFF/RESET, but only if this mode persists consecutively for
five seconds.
The board will record the following events, if the fuel pump status changes (if enabled with the
 EVT.1070: the pump is started.
 EVT.1071: the pump is stopped.
The board can automatically communicate to the operator the request to carry out engine
periodic maintenance. This function is configurable with parameters P.0424 and P.0425. With
P.0424, it is possible to set extra operation hours for maintenance service. In P.0425, on the
contrary, the type of anomaly to be activated at the end of the period is configured:
 1: early warning (W039).
 2: discharge (U039).
 4: deactivation (D039).
 8: shutdown (A039).
The function is enabled if the parameter P.0424 contains a value other than zero. The count
starts in the moment this parameter is set. When the configured (working) hours have elapsed,
the board records, on its non-volatile memory, the maintenance request. In this way, also
cutting off the supply to the board, the piece of information doesn't get lost and, above all, the
anomaly cannot be cancelled. If an alarm has been selected withy P.0425, then the generator
cannot be used again. This function allows to manage rental contracts “by hour number”.
To cancel the maintenance request (and the relevant signal) requires setting again the
parameter P.0424: to disable the function, set the parameter to zero; to set the next
maintenance after the same period as the previous one, simply confirm the existing parameter;
or set a new interval. To modify these parameters requires installer level password.

In automatic mode, DST4602 determines, based on the type of system and the current
conditions, whether or not to start the generator. In these conditions, it is possible to force the
stopping of the generator by using the "inhibition to automatic intervention" function of the
generator.
This internal function, once activated, takes priority over any other function: the generator will
be shut down and it will not possible to restart it. The function operates in AUTO mode, but
not in TEST and REMOTE START modes. The activation of this function does not require the
activation of anomalies.
It is possible to activate this function in different ways, described in the following paragraphs.
The “INHIBIT” lamp turns On when an inhibition is active.
The controller can use a digital input programmed for inhibiting the gen-set automatic
operation (function DIF.2501 – gen-set operation inhibit). In case of an “active” input, the
engine is never automatically started, not even if the plants condition requires.
Use parameter P.0207 to set a delay between input's physical activation and this function's
logic activation: Use parameter P.0208 to set a delay between input's physical de-activation
and this function's logic de-activation: in case the generator is already running, the delay is
two seconds (firm). The value set in the parameter that configures the delay of the used digital
input (P.2002 for digital input 1) is ignored.
The board records any changes of this specific inhibition:
 EVT.1013: inhibition activated.
 EVT.1014: inhibition deactivated.
By using P.0421, P.0422 and P.0423 parameters, it is possible to select the days of the week
and a time bracket during which the generator is enabled to work. Outside this time bracket
(and during not-selected days), the “inhibition to automatic intervention” function of the
generator is active (and then the generator will be stopped).
In particular, parameter P.0421 allows to set the generator's weekly operation days. The
remaining two allow to set an hour range valid for all selected days. The range start time
(P.0422) refers to the days set in P.0421, while the range end time (P.0423) refers to the same
day, if its value is higher than P.0422, or to the following day if lower (across midnight).
Moreover, setting P.0422 and P.0423 to the same value defines a full day's range.
Starting from version 00.63, the controller records every variation of this specific inhibition:
In systems in parallel among more generators it is possible to use the "load management"
(see document [3]). This function only activates the generators needed to meet the power
required by loads in specific times. That is, exceeding generators are stopped even though,
for example, it is an emergency plant and mains is Off. The “load management” uses the
“inhibition to automatic intervention” function to stop generators.

In systems that provide only the supplying in parallel with the mains (see [3]), should the mains
fail, DST4602 would force the opening of GCB switch and, after a configurable waiting time
(P.0899), it would activate the “inhibition to automatic intervention” to stop the generator until
the mains is again "within tolerance".
In multiple generator parallel plants, a generator's GCB switch might not open when the
generator is stopped. This is a hazardous situation, as the voltage from the other running
generators 'drags' the alternator of the genset with “not open GCB”. In this condition,
notwithstanding the stop command, the engine would keep running with all external services
unpowered (oil pumps and the like). In these conditions, it is possible to stop the closure of
GCBs of the other generators (P.0804), and also to force their opening in case they are already
closed: the generators are stopped (by means of the “inhibition to automatic intervention”)
waiting until the problem is solved.
The most recent European directives that rule the parallel with the mains, provide situations
where the power supplied to the mains by the generator should be limited (see [3]). Generators
aren't designed to work for a long time with low powers. For this reason, if, due to limitations
imposed by the mains, the generator is producing less than what provided by P.0968
threshold, uninterruptedly for the time span set in P.0969, DST4602 activates the "inhibition to
automatic intervention" to stop the generator. The inhibition will be cancelled when mains
conditions will not need power limitations any more.
The board makes the status of the single "inhibition to automatic interventions" available for
the AND/OR logics, through the following internal statuses:
 ST.080: from contact.
 ST.081: from clock.
 ST.082: from load management.
 ST.083: inhibition due to mains failure.
 ST.084: “inhibition due to GCB switch not open”.
 ST.085: due to "excessive limitation of power in parallel with the mains".

In automatic mode, once the generator has been started, DST4602 normally always tries to
close GCB switch. In these conditions, it is possible to force the opening of GCB switch by
using the “inhibition to power load” function.
This internal function intervenes in all automatic modes (AUTO, TEST and REMOTE START).
The activation of this function does not require the activation of anomalies.
If the "inhibition to power load" is activated when GCB is already closed, the board tries to
open it, by carrying out generator power discharge first (if possible)
It is possible to activate this function in different ways, described in the following paragraphs.
The controller records an event when the "inhibition to power load" is deactivated:
It is possible to configure a digital input through DIF.2502 function (“inhibition to power load”).
When this input is active, the inhibition to power load is active.
Starting from version 00.63, the controller records an event when this inhibition is activated:
 EVT.1080: inhibition activated (by contact).
In the previous versions, this event was recorded no matter what the reason of the inhibition
was.
There are two possibilities:
 HOLDING REGISTER Modbus register 20. By writing the value "20" into the register,
the inhibition to power load is activated, by writing the value "21" it is disabled.
 HOLDING REGISTER Modbus registers 101 and 102. These controls can be enabled
by a digital input configured with DIF.2706 function - "Enable controls from the serial
ports": if this input exists, it should be active. It is first of all necessary to write the value
configured with P.0004 parameter in register 101 (password): within 5 seconds; by
writing the value "31" or "32" into the register 102 the inhibition to power load will be
activated, by writing the value "33" it will be deactivated.
The control remains active for 30 seconds from the time it is received by DST4602: it is
therefore necessary to repeat it about every 25 seconds until the inhibition to power load
should be kept active.
In systems that provide the supply in parallel with the mains only (see [3]), if the mains fail,
DST4602 will force the immediate opening of GCB switch, and will activate the “inhibition to
power load” in order to stop its closure. The inhibition will be cancelled when the mains is
"within tolerance" again.

In multiple generator parallel plants, a generator's GCB switch might not open when the
generator is stopped. This is an hazardous situation, as the voltage from the other running
generators 'drags' the alternator of the gen-set with “not open GCB”. In this condition,
notwithstanding the stop command, the engine would keep running with all external services
unpowered (oil pumps and the like). In these conditions it is possible to stop the closure of the
GCBs of the other generators (P.0804), and also to force their opening in case they are already
closed: the board activates the “inhibition to power load” to stop the closure (or force the
opening) of GCB.
If DST4602 is “controlled” by MC100 (see document [3]), MC100 can activate the “inhibition
to power load” to force the opening of GCB switches of all generators.
In a system composed of more than one generator, that can supply both stand alone and in
parallel with the mains (MSB + MSTP or MPtM + MSB), some external logics (among which
MC100) can intervene on supplying generators voltage and frequency in order to synchronize
the generator bar to the mains in order to close MCB or MGCB switch. At this stage, DST4602
activates the inhibition to power load if its own GCB is open: in this way it stops its closure, in
order not to disturb the ongoing synchronization.
The board makes statuses of the single "inhibition to power load" available, for AND/OR logics,
through the following internal statuses:
 ST.088: from contact.
 ST.089: inhibition due to mains failure.
 ST.090: for controls from the serial port.
 ST.091: “inhibition for GCB not open”.
 ST.092: for synchronization on MCB ongoing.
 ST.093: for control from MC100 board.

DST4602 can control GCB switch. For systems composed of a single generator (P.0802 <=
4), it is also able to control MCB switch.
On the contrary, it isn't able to control MGCB switch, if any.
Anyway, DST4602 accepts that these switches could be controlled by external logics (steadily
or temporarily).
Through the P.0854 parameter it is possible to configure the way DST4602 has to manage
the GCB switch:
 0: the switch is controlled by DST4602, and DST4602 cannot use synchronization to

close it.
 1: the switch is controlled by DST4602, and DST4602 can use synchronization to

close it
 2: the switch is controlled by an external device, and DST4602 cannot use

synchronization to close it.
 3: the switch is controlled by an external device, and DST4602 can use

synchronization to close it.
At the same way, through P.0855 parameter, it is possible to configure the way DST4602 has
to manage MCB switch (see previous description).
Four different commands can be used to manage MCB breakers:
 DOF.2001 - “MCB (NC) Undervoltage coil”. This feature can be used to supply with
power the under voltage coil (if any) of the breaker. The board activates this output
when it wants to open the switch, it deactivates the output when it wants to close the
switch: the actual closing control will be activated with at least 0.5-second delay from
the deactivation of this output. As a rule, a usually closed contact should be used, so
that with non- supplied board, the undervoltage coil is excited and MCB switch can
close.
 DOF.2002 - “MCB opening coil”. The controller enables this output when it must open
the breaker: the output goes back on standby once the breaker feedback shows that
it is open (or when the opening time-out expires).
 DOF.2003 - “MCB closing coil”. The board activates this input when it wants to close
the switch (by assuring that DOF.2001 function, if any, isn't active for at least 0.5
seconds): the output is again at rest as soon as the switch feedback indicates that it
is closed (or when the closure time-out lapses, or if the synchronism condition is no
more present).
 DOF.2004 - “MCB (NC) steady opening command”. The board activates this output
when it wants to open the switch: the output remains active also with open switch. The
board deactivates this output when it wants to close the switch (by assuring that the
possible DOF.2001 function isn't active for, at least, 0.5 seconds): the output remains
deactivated with closed switch, too. As a rule, a usually closed contact should be used,
so that with non-supplied board MCB switch closes. Use this output with the remote
control switches, not with the motorized breakers.
Four different commands can be used to manage GCB breakers:
 DOF.2031 - “GCB Under voltage coil”. This feature can be used to supply with power
the under voltage coil (if any) of the breaker. The controller disables this output when
it must open the breaker, and enables it when it must close the breaker: the real
closing command will be activated with at least 0.5 seconds after the enabling of this

output. As a rule, a usually open contact should be used, so that with non-supplied
board the undervoltage coil is de-energized and GCB switch opens.
 DOF.2032 - “GCB opening coil”. The controller enables this output when it must open
the breaker: the output goes back on standby once the breaker feedback shows that
it is open (or when the opening time-out expires).
 DOF.2033 - “GCB closing coil”. The controller enables this output when it must close
the breaker (ensuring that the feature DOF.2031 «if available» has been active for at
least 0.5 seconds): the output goes back on standby once the breaker shows that it is
closed (or when the closing time-out expires, or if the synchronism condition is no
longer met).
 DOF.2034 - “GCB steady closing command”. The controller enables this output when
it must close the breaker (ensuring that the DOF.2031 feature «if available» has been
active for at least 0.5 seconds): the output stays active even with the breaker closed.
The controller disables this output when it must open the breaker: the output remains
enabled even with the breaker open. As a rule, a usually open contact should be used,
so that with non-supplied board GCB switch opens. Use this output with the remote
control switches, not with the motorized breakers.
The digital inputs of the board can be used for various purposes, within the scope of the
management of the switches.
Three functions are available to get the feedback of the switch:
 DIF.3001 - "GCB switch status". Utilize this function to get the feedback of the switch
(active input when the switch is closed).
 DIF.3002 - “MCB switch status”. Utilize this function to get the feedback of the switch
 DIF.3003 - “MCB switch status”. Utilize this function to get the feedback of the switch
It isn't always mandatory to connect the feedback of the switches to the board: it depends on
the type of system (see the document [3]). If DST4602 gets feedbacks, it will use them to:
 Issuing failed opening or failed closing warnings (MCB and GCB).
 For its own operating sequence.
 It is also used to detect the status of the circuit breaker when it is commanded by
external devices.
 To show the status of the circuit breakers on the front panel LEDs.
The delay associated to the input is used as maximum time for opening or closing the breaker
(MCB and GCB).
It is possible to use some digital inputs to communicate to DST4602 that the control of one or
both switches is temporarily managed by an external device (even if P.0854 and P.0855
parameters indicate that the switch is controlled by the board):
 DIF.1003 - “GCB controlled externally”.
 DIF.1033 - “MCB controlled externally”.

Until the input is active, the board never tries either to open or close the switch: but, if the
switch in motion (due to external controls), DST4602 will adapt its own control to the new
status of the switch, in order not to cause any unwanted opening/closure when the input is
deactivated.
It is possible to connect some external keys to open/close the switches to the digital inputs of
the board. DST4602 will use these inputs (only in MAN) exactly in the same way as the MCB
and GCB keys present on the panel.
 DIF.1001 - “GCB close command”.
 DIF.1002 - “GCB open command”.
 DIF.1031 - “MCB close command”.
 DIF.1032 - “MCB open command”.
Please refer to the paragraph 9.7.4 for a description of the use of these controls.
If a switch isn't controlled by DST4602, it will be anyway possible to take advantage of the
internal synchronization function of DST4602 (see document [3]). When the external logic
wants to close a switch and synchronization is required, it will have to ask DST4602 for the
synchronization, by activating a digital input. The following functions are available to configure
the digital input:
 DIF.1004 - “Request for synchronization for GCB”.
 DIF.1034 - “Request for synchronization for MCB”.
For more details refer to the document [3].
In this mode, DST4602 always controls GCB when opening. If MCB is controlled by DST4602,
it will be controlled when closing. Note: if MCB is configured as “supplied by mains” (P.0847
different from zero) and the mains fails, DST4602 never tries to control the closing of MCB,
not even in OFF/RESET mode.
The document [3] details logics through which DST4602 allows opening/closing the switches
manually (anyway the logics depend on the type of system).
On the contrary, in this paragraph, the way to send manual controls, for opening/closing
switches, to the board is described.
 Using the controller buttons.
By means of MCB button, the operator can open/close MCB switch. It is always
possible to open MCB (if the engine is stopped, it is necessary to hold the key for 5
seconds). It is always possible to close MCB: if GCB is closed, DST4602 will activate
synchronization (if it isn't possible to use it, then it opens GCB before closing MCB).
Through the GCB key, the operator can open/close GCB switch. It is always possible
to open GCB. The switch, on the contrary, can be closed only if the engine is started
and if generator voltages and frequency are "within tolerance": if MCB is closed,
DST4602 will activate synchronization (if it isn't possible to use it, then it opens MCB
before closing GCB).

 Using the digital inputs of the controller (to connect external buttons to allow for
manual opening/closing of the breakers) See paragraph 9.7.2.3 for the list of available
functions.
These commands act on shifting the input from “not active” to “active”, not on the
steady “active” state. For each switch, it is possible to use either opening/closing
commands or only the closing one. If only the closing command is used, it acts as
“toggle”: it commands the breaker opening if it is closed, or it’s closing if it is open. It
is true what described for MCB and GCB keys at the previous point.
 Using the commands received from the serial ports.
o Only in TEST it is possible to use the Modbus HOLDING REGISTER 20: by

writing the value “4”, DST4602 opens MCB and closes GCB. By writing the
value “5”, the board opens GCB and closes MCB”
o Only in MAN it is possible to use the Modbus HOLDING REGISTER 101 and
102. These controls can be enabled by a digital input configured with
DIF.2706 function - "Enable controls from the serial ports": if this input exists,
it should be active. First of all it is necessary to write the value configured with
P.0004 parameter in 101 register (password): within 5 seconds, write in 102
register the values:
 “31” or “32” to open the GCB circuit breaker.
 “33” to close the GCB circuit breaker.
 “41” to open the MCB circuit breaker.
 “43” to close the MCB circuit breaker.
For a detailed sequence relevant to any single type of system, please refer to the document
[3].
Warning: the P.0235 parameter determines what happens on the GCB circuit breaker when
the operating mode turns from an automatic mode (AUTO, TEST or REMOTE START) to
MAN:
 P.0235=0: GCB holds its status.
 P.0235=1: GCB is opened immediately and without performing power discharge.
The document [3] details the logics by means DST4602 manages the switches in AUTO, TEST
and REMOTE START (anyway logics depend on the kind of system).
Only for the SSB type of system (single generator in emergency to mains), the board can
control a commutator instead of a switch. To do this, it is enough not to configure any output
for the control of MCB (but to configure it as "internally controlled through P.0855 parameter").
Use the “Steadily GCB closure control” (DOF.2034) to control the commutator.
Moreover, it is possible to configure a minimum time span before which it isn't possible (either
manually or automatically) to reverse the commutator control (P.0220 “Contactors control
holding time”). This is useful because if the command is inverted during the movement phase,
with some type of power switches it is possible that they lock themselves, and a manual action
will be required to unlock them.

In the event that DST4602 controls both MCB and GCB switches, but it cannot use
synchronization to close a switch (for any reason), it can always use commutation: open the
other switch and then close the needed switch. In this case, it is possible to configure the
duration of the pause with both switches open, by means of P.0219 parameter (“contactors
controls exchange time”).
The board makes controls and status of the switches available, for AND/OR logics, through
the following internal statuses:
 ST.064 - "GCB status"
 ST.065 - "MCB status"
 ST.066 - "MGCB status"
 ST.068 - “GCB steady closing command”.
 ST.069 - “MCB steady closing command”.
 ST.070 - "GCB under voltage coil command"
 ST.071 - "Impulse open command for GCB”
 ST.072 - "Impulse close command for GCB”
 ST.073 - "MCB under voltage coil command"
 ST.074 - "Impulse open command for MCB”
 ST.075 - "Impulse close command for MCB”
The board will record any variation of the control and of the status of the switch in the event
archive, if it is enabled respectively through the bits 4 and 5 of P.0441 parameter:
 EVT.1030: GCB close command
 EVT.1031: GCB open command
 EVT.1032: GCB closed.
 EVT.1033: GCB open.
 EVT.1035: MCB close command
 EVT.1036: MCB open command
 EVT.1037: MCB closed
 EVT.1038: MCB open.

This chapter describes all the anomalies managed by the controller. Some of these act as
protections for the loads, for the generator or for the engine. There is also signalling of specific
events in the plant management. Before describing them in detail, some definitions are
required.
Four types of anomalies are:
 Warnings: these anomalies do not require shutting the engine down. They point out
to situations that are not dangerous at the moment, but the operator must take some
action because, if ignored, they could degenerate in one of the following categories.
 Discharges: these anomalies has features similar to deactivations (see below). As

they do not create problems for the loads and the genset, in parallel operations
opening of the power connection is preferably performed after power unloading. This
is performed by fast unloading ramp. However, it is not possible to restart the engine
until the anomaly has not been acknowledged.
 Deactivations: these anomalies require shutting the engine down. They create
hazards for the loads but not immediately for the engine. For this reason, GCB switch
is open immediately (without power discharge) and the engine can be stopped through
the standard procedure; that is, by means of the cooling cycle. However, it is not
possible to restart the engine until the anomaly has not been acknowledged.
 Alarms: these anomalies require shutting the engine down. They create hazards for
the loads and/or for the engine and the generator. For this reason, GCB switch is open
immediately (without power discharge) and the engine is stopped immediately, without
the cooling cycle. It is not possible to restart the engine until the anomaly is
acknowledged.
An alarm can be activated only if no other alarms are already active (there are some
exceptions to this rule and will be underlined in the rest of the paragraph). Discharges,
deactivations and early warnings can be present.
A deactivation can be activated only if no alarms and deactivations are already active.
Whereas, other early warnings and other discharges can be present.
For activating discharges, shutdowns, deactivations, or other discharges should not be

present. Some other warnings can be active.
For activating an early warning shutdowns, deactivations or discharges should not be present.
Some other warnings can be active.
When an anomaly activates, the controller performs the following:
 It activates the internal horn and, if configured, also the external one.
 Prompts the page S.02 ANOMALIES on the multifunction display. This page shows
the numeric code and the current language text related to all active anomalies. The
numeric code flashes to indicate that the anomaly hasn't been recognized by the
operator yet.
 It will activate the flashing of the “WARNING” light, if the anomaly belongs to the early
warning category, or the “ALARM” light. The light flashing indicates the presence of
an anomaly, of the relevant category, not yet recognized.

 If the anomaly isn't an early warning, it will disconnect the generator from users or
from parallel bars (with or without power discharge) and it will stop the engine (with or
without cooling cycle).
The following operations can be carried out on an anomaly:
 Silence the horn.
 Acknowledge it: this informs the controller that the operator has acknowledged the
event.
 Reset: this informs the controller that the anomaly is no longer active.
The multifunction display shows the anomaly until the operator “acknowledges” it, even if the
relevant cause is no longer present (sequence ISA2C). The controller automatically resets all
the acknowledged warnings when their cause is no longer active.
The hooter can be suppressed in two ways:
 By pressing the ACK/TEST key on the board panel. This operation doesn't
recognize the anomaly that, therefore, goes on flashing on the display.
 By a digital input configured with the function DIF.2002 (“Alarm acknowledgement

command”). The acoustic horn is silenced when the input switches from “not active”
to “active”.
 Using the commands from the serial ports. These controls can be enabled by a digital
input configured with DIF.2706 function - "Enable controls from the serial ports": if this
input exists, it should be active. To change the operation mode, it is necessary to write
the Modbus registers in sequence (within 5 seconds):
P.0004.
o HOLDING REGISTER 102: enter the value “51”.
The management of the hooter is anyway linked to the value of P.0491 parameter (“duration
of hooter control”):
 If set to zero, the horn will be never activated.
 If the hooter is set on 999, it will be activated when a new anomaly arises and
deactivated through the above-described procedure.
 If the hooter is set on a value between 1 and 998, it will be activated when a new
anomaly arises and deactivated through the described procedure above, or when the
configured time span has elapsed.
The anomaly can be identified in three ways:
 By pressing the ACK/TEST key on the board panel. If you push this key when the
hooter is on, it stops the hooter: it should be pressed a second time to “recognize”
the anomaly.

 By a digital input configured with the function DIF.2002 (“Alarm acknowledgement
command”). The acoustic horn is silenced when the input switches from “not active”
to “active”.
 Using the commands from the serial ports. There are two possibilities:
o HOLDING REGISTER Modbus register 20. Write the value “2” in this register
to identify anomalies. NB: this control also cancels the hooter, in case it is
active.
o HOLDING REGISTER Modbus registers 101 and 102. These controls can be
enabled by a digital input configured with DIF.2706 function - "Enable controls
from the serial ports": if this input exists, it should be active. To change the
working mode, it is necessary to enter in sequence (within 5 seconds):
 HOLDING REGISTER 101: enter the password configured with the

parameter P.0004.
 HOLDING REGISTER 102: enter the value “52”. NB: this control also
cancels the hooter, in case it is active.
The previous operations “identify” all active anomalies. The relevant numeric codes on the
display stop flashing. WARNING and ALARM lights stop flashing, too.
An anomaly can be cancelled only when the cause that activated it is no more present.
The controller automatically resets all the acknowledged warnings when their cause is no
longer active.
On the contrary, to cancel discharges, deactivations and shutdowns, it is necessary to follow

one of the below procedures:
 By moving the key switch on OFF/RESET position.
 Using a digital input configured with the feature DIF.2001 - “Alarm reset command”.
Anomalies are cancelled when the input from "inactive" turns into "active".
 Using the commands from the serial ports. There are two possibilities:
o HOLDING REGISTER Modbus register 20. Write the value “1” in this register
to cancel anomalies.
o HOLDING REGISTER Modbus registers 101 and 102. These controls can be
enabled by a digital input configured with DIF.2706 function - "Enable controls
from the serial ports": if this input exists, it should be active. To change the
working mode, it is necessary to enter in sequence (within 5 seconds):
 HOLDING REGISTER 101: enter the password configured with the

parameter P.0004.
 HOLDING REGISTER 102: enter the value “53”.
 By using an “SMS” control (see document [5]).
The following functions for the configuration of digital outputs are linked to anomalies:

 DOF.3151 (“reset of anomalies”). The board activates this output for one second
when the internal sequence for the cancellation of anomalies is carried out. With this
procedure, it is also possible to reset externally managed anomalies.
 DOF.3152 (“external horn”). This output is activated and deactivated along with the
internal hooter. It can be used to control a more powerful hooter and/or a lamp.
 DOF.3154 (“faults acknowledgement”). The controller activates this output for one
second when the internal sequence of faults acknowledgement is carried out. This
procedure can be used to acknowledge also some possible faults managed by other
devices externally.
 DOF.4001: the output will be activated if at least an early warning is active.
 DOF.4002: the output will be activated if at least a discharge is active.

discharge are active.

WARNING: the use of these functions can cause serious damages to the engine.
SICES cannot be considered anyway liable due to malfunctioning and damages to
things and/or people occurred because of the utilization of the OVERRIDE function.
This term defines the capacity of DST4602 of temporarily disabling (in particular conditions
and on specific request) a series of protections. The OVERRIDE function, when is activated,
turns a set of shutdowns, deactivations and discharges into simple “early warnings”: in this
way, the board indicates, anyway, the presence of problems, but doesn't reduce the supplying
capacity of the generator. In some situations, in fact, supply to users is put before the
preservation of the engine. You should consider, for example, hospitals: there are situations
in which it is preferable to damage the engine, and supply power for the longest period of time
possible, rather than safeguarding the engine, but leaving operating rooms without light.
DST4602 manages three different OVERRIDE requests for protections; all of them can be
activated through digital inputs. Use the following functions to configure the digital inputs:
 DIF.2062 (“Engine protections override”).
 DIF.2063 (“Full protections Override”).
 DIF.2064 (“Override of generator protections”).
Each OVERRIDE function turns a specific set of shutdowns/deactivations/discharges into

"early warnings". The document [1] has a table indicating all DST4602 board anomalies: the
column “OVER” indicates, for each anomaly, the OVERRIDE functions it is subject. The
column includes:
 Letter “F” if the anomaly is subject to total OVERRIDE.
 Letter “E” if the anomaly is subject to engine protections OVERRIDE.
 Letter “G” if the anomaly is subject to generator protections OVERRIDE.
Besides what indicated in the table, the OVERRIDE function also affects "generic" anomalies
connected to analogue and digital inputs. The following functions for the configuration of digital

inputs activate anomalies that are subject to engine protections OVERRIDE and to total
OVERRIDE, too:
 DIF.4012 - “unload (after oil delay)”.
 DIF.4013 – “deactivation (after oil delay)”.
 DIF.4013 – “alarm (after oil delay)”.
 DIF.4064 – “unload (subject to OVERRIDE)”.
 DIF.4063 - “deactivation (subject to OVERRIDE)”.
 DIF.4064 – “alarm (subject to override)”.
As to protections activated through thresholds on analogue measures, it is possible to subject

these anomalies to engine protections OVERRIDE (and to total OVERRIDE, too) through the
bit 15 of the threshold configuration parameter (P.4005 for the first threshold on the first
analogue input).
The board will show a message on “S.01” page when one of these OVERRIDE functions is
activated. Warning: engine electronic control units can manage directly OVERRIDE requests.
In this case, ECUs do not stop the engine in case of anomalies. They usually indicate the
active OVERRIDE status on CAN0CAN-BUS: DST4602 also displays this OVERRIDE status
S.01 page.
The board records an event every time that an OVERRIDE request is activated (EVT.1082).
Moreover, it records an event among the records, whenever all OVERRIDE requests cease
(EVT.1083).
The DST4602 manages a separate operating time counter when this OVERRIDE mode is
active.
DST4602 manages a significant number of digital input, by taking also the expansion modules
(DITEL) that it can manage into account. Every input can be used to activate anomalies. These
anomalies are divided into two kinds:
 Specific. They are configured by means of DIF.4201 function and following ones.
DST4602 knows the modes through which these anomalies should be managed, and
already has some default error messages (that cannot be configured) connected to
each anomaly.
 Generic. They are configured through DIF.4001 through DIF.4064 functions. As to

these anomalies, the operator should configure the message that will be shown on the
display. Moreover, by using the appropriate functions, DST4602 will be instructed
regarding the way it will have to manage the anomaly.
Specific anomalies will be described in the following paragraphs: in the description the
parameters relevant to the digital input #1 of DST4602 (P.2001, P.2002 and P.2003) will be
always referred to. The document [1] has a table that shows the parameters to be used for
every digital input of DST4602 and of the expansion modules.
What stated above is true also for generic anomalies. They will not be described in the
following paragraphs, because they will be infinite repetitions of the same description for each
input. On the contrary, they are described here, by indicating parameters for input #1 of
DST4602.
DST4602 assigns numeric codes 685 through 886 to generic anomalies linked to digital inputs
(the document [1] has a table that shows the code for each input). By utilizing the parameter
that configures the function (P.2001), it is possible to select the type of anomaly (early warning,

discharge, deactivation or shutdown) and also to define the conditions for the anomaly
management. Warning: by setting the delay to “0”, the anomaly is disabled. In the list below,
the functions for the configuration of digital inputs, used to manage generic anomalies, are
indicated. They are grouped four by four: the four functions for each group define the type of
anomaly (see document [1] for the list of functions).
 DIF.4001, DIF.4002, DIF.4003, DIF.4004. The board will activate this anomaly if the
digital input is uninterruptedly active for the configured (P.2002) time span.
 DIF.4011, DIF.4012, DIF.4013, DIF.4014. The anomaly can be activated only if the
engine has been started by DST4602, and if it is in motion from, at least, the time span
configured in P.0216 (“engine protection masking time”). The board will activate these
anomalies if the digital input is uninterruptedly active for the configured (P.2002) time
span. The anomaly is subject to the engine protections OVERRIDE and to total
OVERRIDE, too (see 10.5).
 DIF.4021, DIF.4022, DIF.4023, DIF.4024. The anomaly can be activated only if GCB
switch is closed. The board will activate this anomaly if the digital input is
uninterruptedly active for the configured (P.2002) time span.
fuel electromagnetic valve is open (FUEL, see 9.4.6.6). The board will activate this
anomaly if the digital input is uninterruptedly active for the configured (P.2002) time
span.
GAS electromagnetic valve is open (GAS, see 9.4.6.8). The board will activate this
anomaly if the digital input is uninterruptedly active for the configured (P.2002) time
span.
 DIF.4051, DIF.4052, DIF.4053, DIF.4054. The board will activate this anomaly if the
digital input is uninterruptedly active for the configured (P.2002) time span. The
anomaly activation causes the stopping of the fuel pump (see 9.4.13.5).
 DIF.4062, DIF.4063, DIF.4064. The board will activate this anomaly if the digital input
is uninterruptedly active for the configured (P.2002) time span. The anomaly is subject
to the engine protections OVERRIDE and to total OVERRIDE, too (see 10.5).
DST4602 is able to manage a high number of analogue inputs, also considering those
acquired by DIGRIN, DITHERM and DIVIT expansion modules.
For each analogue input, DST4602 allows setting two thresholds on the acquired measure,
and each threshold can activate an anomaly. These are generic anomalies, since DST4602
doesn't know how to manage them and hasn't default warning messages. They will not be
described in the following paragraphs, because they will be infinite repetitions of the same
description for each analogue input. On the contrary, they are described here, by indicating
parameters for input 1 of DST4602.
DST4602 assigns numeric codes 301 through 552 to generic anomalies linked to analogue
inputs (the document [1] has a table that shows the code of each input).
First of all the operator should configure the error message that will be shown on the board
display when the anomaly is activated. It has to use P.4002 parameter, the only one for the
two thresholds. DST4602 will add an initial wording to the configured message:
 “High value:” if the anomaly is activated when the measure is higher than the
threshold.

 “Low value:” if the anomaly is activated when the measure is lower than the threshold.
For each analogue input, there are six parameters available for the management of thresholds,
three for each threshold (P.4003, P.4004 and P.4005 for the first threshold of the first analogue
input; P.4006, P.4007 and P.4008 for the second threshold of the first analogue input).
Besides the threshold value (P.4003 or P.4006) and the delay to be managed (P.4004 or
P.4007), the operator has to configure the operations connected to the threshold (P.4005 or
P.4008). The parameter that configures the actions is managed through bits (every bit
enables/disables a function connected to the threshold). A description for these parameters
follows 7.8
Beware: by setting the delay to “0”, the anomaly isn't disabled.
From this point on, words enabling and activation will be utilized:
 Enabling an anomaly refers to the minimum conditions required for the controller to
detect the relevant cause.
 Activation of an anomaly refers to the cause after enabling.

P.0324 Protections enabling 50V-51V
Current protection is time dependent (reaction time is faster when the overload increases).
The used curve is named EXTREMELY INVERSE and implements a I2t function. It is a
generator protection as it limits the thermal accumulation of the generator during the supply
phase. As engine protection, the maximum power protection must be used, that is independent
from the load type.
A maximum current threshold and the maximum time the generator can work with this current
are defined. If the current is lower than the defined threshold, the protection does not activate.
If the current rises above the threshold, the protection activates with a time inversely
proportional to the overcurrent. In order to correctly set the thresholds, perform the following
steps:
 Define the system rated current (see9.3.1).
 Set the maximum current threshold with the parameter P.0309, as a percentage of the
rated current.
 Set the action time in the parameter P.0310: the protection will be activated within time
set if the current is constantly equal to the threshold P.0309 multiplied by 2 . It will
be activated more quickly when the current is higher and more slowly when the current
is lower.
In order to calculate the intervention time for a set current, please use the following formula:
P.0310
tI  2
 I 
  1
 P.0309 
Where I is the current in the circuit.
Please remember that the protection is performed by performing the integral of the current
value during time; therefore, current values above the rated threshold all concur to define the
intervention time, with their instant weight resulting from the above formula. Thus, only way to
experimentally verify this formula is to switch instantaneously from a normal load situation to
an overload situation.
The following graph shows the curve used for enabling protection, with a value of P.0310 set
to 60 seconds (I is the maximum current):

The type can be configured through P.0323 parameter.

By utilizing P.0324 parameter, it is possible to convert this protection into 51V protection
(values 2 or 3 in P.0324). The 51V protection differs from 51 “normal” protection for the fact
that the threshold set with P.0309 is automatically reduced when the generator voltage
decreases. In detail:
 If the generator voltage is higher than 80% the rated, the current threshold remains
the one set.
 If the generator voltage is less or equal to 20% of the rated, the current threshold
becomes 20% of the one set.
 If the generator voltage is between 20% and 80% of the rated, the current threshold
is reduced in percentage.

(P.0101 = 3) and only if the measure of currents is linked to the generator (current transformers
on the generator, or on users but with closed GCB switch).
“I2” negative sequence current is calculated as 1/3 of the module of the vector sum of the three
phase currents, by putting out of phase of 120° in a direction the current of L2 phase and of
120° in the other direction the current of L3 phase (it depends on the rotation direction). If the
load on the three phases is balanced and of equal cos (ɸ), the “I2” current is 0. Practically, it
represents an index of load imbalance, which considers also angles of current vectors and not
only of modules.
P.0327 parameter (“rated phase sequence for the calculation of the direct/reverse sequence)”
affects the calculation of the negative sequence current:

 P.0327 = 2. In this case, the default phase sequence is the counter clockwise one.
For the calculation of the negative sequence, a 240° angle is added to L2 phase
vector, a 120° angle is added to L3 phase vector.
 P.0327 = 1. In this case, the default phase sequence is the clockwise one. For the
calculation of the negative sequence, a 120° angle is added to L2 phase vector, a
240° angle is added to L3 phase vector.
 P.0327 = 0. The default phase sequence is the present voltage one. On the basis of
the fact that it is clockwise or counter clockwise, what stated at the two previous points
is true.
It will be activated when “I2”current remains higher than P.0325 threshold uninterruptedly for
P.0326 time span. P.0325 threshold is expressed in percentage with reference to rated
current: see 9.3.1 for the determination of rated current from P.0101, P.0102 and P.0106

parallel with the mains. It activates if the difference between the power supplied and the current
power setpoint is consecutively higher than the P.0381 threshold for 5 seconds (not

Related parameters: P.0890 Maximum time in parallel with the mains

This anomaly activates if the duration of the parallel with the mains has been set to a limit
(P.0890 different from zero) and the parallel has lasted more than the time set. The controller
forces the GCB opening and impedes its reclosing until the operator acknowledges the
warning. This warning can be activated also in case the “genset switch” function is active, if at
the end of the time set, the power has not been switched to the genset yet (because the
nominal power of the genset is not enough to supply the load): in this case, if the power
absorbed by the load decreases, the controller will automatically close GCB even in case of
warning.
In order to maintain the compatibility with the previous version (which at the end of the time
set forced the MCB opening), the P.0897 parameter has been added. It is a bit parameter that
allows to select in which conditions the MCB opening must be allowed in case the time set for
the parallel with the mains is exceeded:
 Bit 0: MAN mode.
 Bit 1: AUTO mode.
 Bit 2: TEST mode.
 Bit 3: REMOTE START mode.
 Bit 7: in case of “MGCB opening failure”.

Note: the parameter is aimed just to allow the operation of old plants in case of a firmware
update. In new plants, it should be left at zero.

 The PLC program uses more FLASH memory than available.
 The PLC program uses more RAM memory than available.
 The PLC program has an invalid control check-sum.
 The PLC program is developed with a version not supported by this board.
 A digital or analogue output controlled by the PLC is not configured with DOF.0101 or
AOF.0101 function (“used by the PLC”).
 The PLC program uses a resource (of any kind) not available on this board (for
example, a digital input of a non-connected expansion module).
 An invalid parameter has been specified for one of PLC blocks.
 An invalid type of block has been specified.
 Calculation error during the running of the program.
On S.02 page, by selecting this early warning, the board shows additional information to help
solving the problem.

See 10.6.
See 10.7.
The PLC program, through one of its blocks, is able to activate anomalies. 901 through 964A
codes are connected to such anomalies. Anomalies triggered by the PLC can be shutdowns,
deactivations, discharges or early warnings.

The DST4602 controller is equipped with a PLC environment (acronym for “Programmable
Logic Controller”) that carries out a sequence of functions previously stored in a proper Flash
memory.
Use “SicesPlcEditor” software to create and fulfil the PLC program. Use the “BoardPrg3”
software to transfer the compiled PLC program to DST4602 or to read it again from the board
[14].
The PLC program is run every 100ms. This time span could not be adequate to manage
protections that have to intervene very quickly.
The controller is provided with a standard hardware clock. The date/time is shown to the right
in the first line of display in all the pages. Moreover, it is detailed on S.03 page of the display.
It is possible to set the clock through 4.7.1 menu or serial ports. It is used for various functions:
 History logs recordings.
 Engine TEST startup weekly planning.
 Weekly planning of time intervals in which the genset must not automatically start.
The first function has already been widely described in chapter 8. The other two functions are
detailed below.
The engine TEST startup is planned on a weekly basis. Thus it is possible to select in which
days the engine must be started for TEST. WARNING: the activation of the scheduled test
isn't in any way connected to the automatic starts of the engine. I.e. the engine may have been
used just few minutes before but test will anyway start at due time. It is also possible to select
a time interval (start and end hours) for the test. This time interval is common to all the days
selected.
The parameters related to this function are the following:
 P.0418: allows to specify in which days of week the engine TEST will be performed.
It is a bit-configurable parameter; each bit of the parameter corresponds to a day of
the week. The value to be set for the parameter is the sum of the value fields in the
following table related to the days needed (see7.3.4).
Bit Hexadecimal value Day
0 01 Sunday
1 02 Monday
2 04 Tuesday
3 08 Wednesday
4 10 Thursday
5 20 Friday
6 40 Saturday
For example, if you want to perform the TEST only on Monday and Thursday, you
must set 12 (10+2).
 P.0419: allows to set start time for the TEST (Hours and minutes).
 P.0420: allows to configure the TEST duration (in minutes).

P.0420 sets the duration instead of an end test time. This is due to the same parameter being
also used for TEST activated by an SMS command.
In some applications, it is useful to inhibit the automatic intervention of the engine for mains
failure in hours or days where the mains is not used. For example, if a factory is closed on
Sunday, the engine should never start in this day for mains fault (because it consumes
unnecessary fuel). With this function, you can select in which days and in which time intervals
the engine can start automatically. The planning is made on a weekly basis: therefore, it is
possible to plan in which days the generator must operate. Besides days, it is possible to set
a single auto operation enable time slot common to all selected days.
 P.0421: allows to specify in which days of week the engine can start automatically. It
is a bit-configurable parameter; each bit of the parameter corresponds to a day of the
week. The value to be set for the parameter is the sum of the value fields in the
following table related to the days needed (see 7.3.4).
0 01 Sunday
1 02 Monday
2 04 Tuesday
3 08 Wednesday
4 10 Thursday
5 20 Friday
6 40 Saturday
 P.0422: allows to configure the start of the time interval during which the engine can
start automatically (in hours and minutes).
 P.0423: allows to configure the end of the time interval during which the engine can
start automatically (in hours and minutes).
Usually P.0422 will be set to a value lower than P.0423. On the contrary, if it contains a higher
value, the controller infers that the time interval is set across midnight: in this case, the time
set with P.0422 refers to the days selected with P.0421, while the time set with P.0423 refers
to the following days.
For example, in case an automatic genset start is required only Monday through Friday,
between 08:00 and 18:00, you must set:
 P.0421= 3E (02+04+08+10+20)
 P.0422 = 08:00
 P.0423 = 18:00
This function is available from the review 00.40. The planning of intervention forcing is
performed weekly. That is, it is possible to indicate on which days of the week the generator
has to intervene, even if the status of the system doesn't require the intervention. Besides the
days, it is possible to specify from what time to what time the intervention has to be forced.
This time interval is common to all the days selected.
 P.0426: it allows specifying on which days of the week the intervention of the generator
has to be forced. It is a bit-configurable parameter; each bit of the parameter

corresponds to a day of the week. The value to be set for the parameter is the sum of
the value fields in the following table related to the days needed (see7.3.4).
0 01 Sunday
1 02 Monday
2 04 Tuesday
3 08 Wednesday
4 10 Thursday
5 20 Friday
6 40 Saturday
For example, to configure the forcing of the intervention only on Monday and
Thursday, it is necessary to set 12 (10+2).
 P.0427: it allows setting the starting time of the forcing (in hours and minutes).
 P.0428: it allows setting the ending time of the forcing (in hours and minutes).
The controller is provided with a hardware thermometer, for measuring its internal
temperature. The temperature is shown at page S.03, multifunction display, last line. It is used
for many functions:
 At very low temperatures information display slows down. By utilizing the

thermometer, when the temperature falls under a very low threshold, the board keeps
always the backlighting lamp on, that contributes to heat the display and therefore to
increase its efficiency.
 The electronic components inside the controller have an extended working

temperature range. Despite this, it is possible in critical ambient conditions that
temperature goes out of this range. The controller uses the thermometer to activate a
warning if the ambient temperature goes over a threshold configurable with parameter
P.0366. This serves to alert the operator, but it is also possible, by using AND/OR
logics, to ensure that, when the early warning is active, also an output is activated,
output that therefore can be used to start cooling the mechanisms.
The controller features a standard software serial number detector. This devices associates a
univocal serial number to the controller. Two controllers cannot have the same serial number.
This allows unambiguous identification of DTS4602 controllers. The serial number is shown in
the multifunction display at page S.03, last line. The SICES password is related to this serial
number.
The controller manages internally the following counters:
 Engine starts counter (resettable to zero)
 Engine running hours counter
 Engine running hours counter (resettable to zero)
 Load working time with GCB closed (hours) counter (resettable to zero)
 Operation hours counter with protection override (resettable to zero).
 Time to next service (hours) counter

 Resettable active power meter (kWh): it measures only the supplied power and does
not measure in case of power reverse.
 Total counter for the active power produced by the generator (kWh): it only counts
supplied power, it doesn't count in case of power inversion.
 Resettable counter for the reactive power produced by the generator (kvarh), it counts
in absolute value.
 Total counter for the reactive power produced by the generator (kvarh), it counts in
absolute value.
 Resettable counter for the active power measured on the mains (kWh).
 Total counter for the active power measured on the mains (kWh).
 Resettable counter for the reactive power measured on the mains (kvarh).
 Total counter for the reactive power measured on the mains (kvarh).
 Controller total power supply time (hours) counter
Almost all these counters and meters are displayed on the controller's front panel (only the
total supply time counter is not displayed). However, all can be read via the serial port (with
the ModBus protocol). Some of these counters can be reset by the operator through an
appropriate procedure, or through the serial port (in the list they are highlighted by the word
“resettable”; please refer to the description of the display page where they are shown). All
these counters are saved in a non-volatile memory; therefore they store their values also when
the controller is powered off. Non-volatile memories have limited life cycles, therefore reducing
memory writing to minimum is required. Therefore, a counter may not be immediately saved
as its value changes; consequently, before powering the controller off, ensure to know when
and how the counters were saved.
Counters are saved (all together and in the same time) in the following conditions:
 Immediately after each engine start (with engine running, not after each start attempt).
 Immediately after each engine stop (when controller acknowledges the engine
stopped status, not when stop is requested).
 After each engine running hours counter increase (total, also if the engine has been
started for instance six times for ten minutes each time).
 After each total engine running hours counter increase (total, also if the engine has
been started for instance six times for ten minutes each time).
 Each time the load engine working hours counter is increased (total, also if the engine
has been started for instance six times for ten minutes each time).
 Each time the key switch is turned to OFF/RESET.
 For each hour the controller is powered.
 When parameter P.0424 is changed (maintenance interval).
Furthermore, counters are saved when they are reset to zero (individually or globally) via front
panel or serial port. Note that some counters have a decimal part (for example the minutes-
counters associated to hours-counters), which is also saved in a non-volatile memory.
Powering off the controller in an uncontrolled way can cause the loss of the decimal part. You
will need to switch the key to OFF-RESET to force the controller to save data, before switching
off the power.

See the description of M.05 page (6.6.4.5) and of E.02 page (6.6.5.2).
A command inhibiting genset operation can be sent to the controller either through a PC's
serial port or a SMS. The locked genset can be re-activated either through a PC's serial port
or a SMS (powering the controller off will not work). The controller signals the inhibition status
by activating the alarm AA012.
Please refer to the document [3] that details this function.
The function in hand should not be mistaken for the “load management” available in parallel
systems, whose description is indicated within the document [3].
This function allows to monitor the trend of the active power in order to diagnose:
 A low power condition.
 A high power condition, to disconnect part of the loads, if needed.
It is necessary to choose a priori the condition to be monitored (using the P.0481 parameter:
set it to zero to select the low power monitoring, set it to one to select the high power
monitoring).
To associate an output to this function, the code DOF.3121 (load thresholds) must be
configured in the parameter P.3001 parameter (or equivalents). If no output is configured in
this way, the function will not work.
It is possible to enable this function through a digital input configured by means of DIF.2703
function (“Enable load thresholds”): if the input exists, the function will be enabled when the
input is activated. If the function is disabled, the output configured through DOF.3121 function
will be always disabled.
Function is configured with the following parameters:
 P.0482: initial observation delay If the enabling input exists (DIF.2703), during the first
P.0482 seconds starting from the input activation, the board will control the output at
rest: this happens to allow time to the system for stabilizing before starting to control
the power.
 P.0483: lower threshold (percentage of the rated power P.0125).
 P.0484: delay associated to the lower threshold (in seconds).
 P.0485: higher threshold (percentage of the rated power P.0125).
 P.0486: delay associated to the higher threshold (in seconds).
If the thresholds P.0483 and P.0485 are set to zero or are not congruent, the function will be
disabled.
Aim of this function is to diagnose a low power (or low load) status and point it out by means
of a digital output of the board: in a situation of more than one generators in parallel, this output
could be used to deactivate some generators, even if the “load management” (see [3]) allows
to do the same but in a cleverer way.

The controller watches the total active power delivered, comparing it with two thresholds (so
setting a hysteresis band): the output is activated (signalling the low power condition) if the
power drops below the lower threshold for the set time. In the same way, the output is disabled
if the power rises above the upper threshold for the set time.
Purpose of this function is to diagnose a high power status (high load) to disconnect part of
the less important loads. The controller watches the total active power delivered, comparing it
with two thresholds (so setting a hysteresis band): the output is disabled if the power remains
below the lower threshold for the set time. In the same way, the output is enabled if the power
rises above the upper threshold for the set time. The output is activated in a maximum power
condition, and can directly be used as control for disconnecting loads. Ensure to pay attention
to the thresholds: when a part of the loads is disconnected, the power will decrease. If the
lower threshold is too high, the output will be disabled, and this could cause the load to be
reconnected, with a pendulum effect.
Warning: DST4602 is not able to receive EJP information directly from the mains. To use this
function an external detector must be used. This detector must provide two output signals
coherent with said function.
The EJP function allows to start the engine and warm it before mains failure, so when it will
happen, loads can be immediately changed-over on genset, reducing to the minimum the time
the loads remain unsupplied.
The system is based on two signals, available through the mains provider:
A. A signal activated well in advance with respect to the mains failure (e.g. approx. 30
minutes).
B. A signal activated just before mains failure.
We want to start the engine in (a settable) advance in relation to signal B; however, the load
must be taken only when B is active. The controller can perform this operation following the
steps below:
 A and B signals must remain active until mains reactivates.
 Both signals must be connected to relays with exchanging contacts.
 The time between A and B signals activation must be known.
To use this function the controller has to be configured in the following way:
 Configure a digital input with feature DIF.2032 – “remote start request” in parameter
P.2001 or the equivalents for the other inputs). Moreover, it is necessary to configure,
for this input, the delay desired to start the engine from the moment the signal A is
triggered (in seconds, in parameter P.2002 or equivalent). If, for example, we want to
warm the engine for five minutes and the A signal will activate 30 minutes before B, it
will require to set 1500 seconds, i.e. 25 minutes (it is possible to set delays up to 3200
seconds, i.e. 53 minutes).
 The configuration of a digital input by means of DIF.2502 function (“inhibition to power

load”, P.2001 parameter or equivalent for the other inputs).
 So, it is necessary to connect the usually open contact of the signal A to the first
configured input, and the usually closed contact of the signal B to the second input.
When both signals are inactive, the controller does not receive the remote start request and
remains at rest in AUTO mode. The "inhibition of supply" contact is skipped.

When signal A activates, both controller inputs will be active. However, the board will not switch
to REMOTE START immediately, but only after that the time span connected with the input
that gets the signal A has elapsed (P.2002 or equivalent ones). So, also in this phase the
inhibition of supply is skipped. At this stage, the status bar shows the time left.
After the time since activation of signal A, the controller shifts to REMOTE START mode and
performs the engine start. In this phase, the inhibition of supply input is no longer skipped, and
being it active (connected on contact NC), it will prevent the loads change-over on genset.
When signal B activates, the inhibition of supply input deactivates, allowing the load change-
over on genset.
When the mains is on, both signals A and B deactivate. Therefore, the controller reverts to
AUTO mode, due to mains on, performs the engine stop (with cooling cycle).
DST4602 allows personalizing the most common standards of measurement, by selecting

them in a list of available ones. The following parameters allow personalization:
 P.0191: configures the standard of measurement for temperature (°C, °F).
 P.0192: configures the standard of measurement for pressure (bar, psi).
 P.0193: configures the standard of measurement for volume (lt, gal).
All measures, regardless the way they are taken, are automatically transformed into the
selected standard of measurement before being shown on the display, stored within the
records or transmitted, through Modbus or SMS, on serial ports.
Protection thresholds aren't automatically converted, but they should be already set in the
selected standard of measurement: in case one of the above described parameter is changed,
it will be necessary to verify the value of all thresholds that operate on measures with that
standard of measurement. Moreover, it will be necessary to delete the records: indeed, after
the fact, it isn't possible to know the standard of measurement selected at the moment when
a record was filed within records.
Note: conversion curves internally work always on base of standards of measurements (°C,
bar, lt). But, both the board and the BoardPrg3 software, deal with converting single points of
the curve in the selected standard of measurement, in a totally transparent manner for the
operator. The only warning for the operators is that, if it is possible to personalize the standard
of measurement through the BoardPrg3, attention should be paid to enter correctly one of the
previous standards, in order to have automatic conversions by the system (for example, if
“BAR” instead of “bar” is entered, the conversion will not take place).
DST4602 has a CAN-BUS interface dedicated to the interfacing with electronic engines
(CAN0). Please refer to documents [9] [10] for detailed information. To activate the connection,
first of all, it is necessary to select the kind of engine through P.0700 parameter (among the
list of allowed engines). Then, it is possible to decide whether only to receive information from
the ECU of the engine or also send controls (P.0703, detailed in the above-mentioned
documents): by setting P.0703 on “0”, DST4602 doesn't transmit anything on the CAN-BUS.
In the end it is possible to set a time-limit through P.0711 parameter: DST4602 will activate an
anomaly in case it doesn't receive messages from the ECU of the engine within this period of
time.
Only for some engines, it is possible to specify the value in rpm for low speed (P.0710), and it
is possible to start the DROOP mode directly in the ECU of the engine (P.0708).

It is possible to select “HT-GAS” and “HT-CL-MIXG3” engines through P.0700 parameter. It is
a special management, carried out on a single customer's specification.
The following functions, to configure digital inputs, are linked to this management:
 DIF.2301
 DIF.2302
 DIF.2303
By using CAN-BUS CAN2 (EXBUS) connection, it is possible to connect the following optional
additional modules to DST4602:
 16 modules to measure temperatures (for a total of 48 measurements). It is possible

to use DITHERM or DIGRIN modules, which can be mixed in any ways.
o DITHERM module: acquires up to three thermocouples (galvanically insulated

inputs).
o DIGRIN module: acquires up to three Pt100 probes (galvanically insulated

inputs).
 16 DIVIT modules: every module acquires up to four analogue inputs 0...5V / 0...10V
/ 0...10mA / 0...20mA (galvanically insulated inputs), for a total of 64 measurements.
 8 DANOUT modules: every module controls up to four analogue outputs 0...5V /

0...10V / 0...10mA / 0...20mA (galvanically insulated outputs), for a total of 32 outputs.
 10 DITEL 16IN module: each module acquires up to sixteen opto digital outputs (for a
total of 160 digital inputs). Two DITEL 8OUT relay modules can be connected to every
module (for a total of 160 digital outputs). You cannot use the output modules without
a related input module.
Below we use the name DITEMP to refer to a temperature measurement module (DITHERM
or DIGRIN).
To configure the modules on the DST4602, it is necessary to set the number of modules
available with the parameters
 P.0141 the number of DITEL 16 IN modules (with any DITEL 8 OUT module)
(maximum 10).
 P.0142 the number of DITEMP modules (i.e. DITHERM or DIGRIN) (maximum 16).
 P.0143: the number of DIVIT modules (maximum 16).
 P.0144: the number of DANOUT modules (maximum 8).
Once the modules presence is configured, they appear as digital or analogue inputs or outputs
and are driven the same as the ones actually present on the controller board. For their related
parameters see [1]. In BoardPrg3, once the presence of a module is configured, it appears in
the I/O menu on the left column, with each individual input/output ready to be configured.
For the configurations to be made on the modules, refer to their user manuals.
But it is necessary to make a statement as to DIVIT modules. They are able to measure any
quantity: it is necessary to convert performed measurement (Volt or mA) into the actual

standard of the measured quantity. This conversion can be made directly in the module (DIVIT)
or on DST4602. Beware not to have a double conversion.
SICES advises to:
 Configure DIVIT module to transmit a percentage value. In the example below, a

channel configured to acquire a signal 0-10 mA, will transmit “0” at 0 mA and “100” at
10 mA.
 On DST4602, use a conversion curve to convert from a % value to the actual standard
of measurement.
From the version 00.40 on, DST4602 adds a partial support for the management of
redundancy between two boards. This support activates by setting P.0245 parameter to “1”.
This management provides two boards that share expansion modules and where only one of
the two needs to be supplied. When the master board fails (it is possible to use a DITEL to
diagnostic the situation), it will have to be de-energized and at the same time the slave board
will have to be supplied
When the support for redundancy is activated, DST4602 SLAVE utilized a time span of a
second to the turning-on (after the AUTO-TEST phase has finished and after the display starts
showing normal pages) to analyze the status of the system and acknowledge the situation.
Practically, DST4602:
 If it identifies a started engine status, it will adjust its controls in order to keep the
engine in motion, without triggering any anomaly.
 It adjust its own controls to keep MCB switch and GCB switch in the status they are
at the turn-on, without triggering any anomaly.
 During the one-second span for the “system analysis” DST4602 doesn't send any
message on all CAN-BUS channels. In this way:
o It doesn't send stop command to the engine via CAN-BUS before having
verified the need to keep the engine in motion.
o It doesn't send any command (via CAN-BUS) to all expansion modules: in this
way, if these modules are "shared" between the MASTER board and the
SLAVE board, they freeze the last output status ordered by the master board,
waiting until the SLAVE board acknowledges the situation.
This function is available from 00.40 firmware version. In some areas of the world, at certain
times of the day, the supply from the mains has a huge cost. This function allows using the
generator to supply users in a given time slot (week calendar setting).
Basically, within set days and time slots, DST4602 should start the generator and put it in
parallel with the mains. When in parallel, it should transfer the power absorbed by the users
from the mains to the generator, then it should open the mains switch. The parallel with the
mains should have a maximum configurable duration: elapsed this time, MCB switch should
be opened. At the end of the time slot, DST4602 puts back the group in parallel with the mains,
transfers users' power from the generator to the mains, opens GCB switch and stops the
generator. Also in this case the duration of the parallel with the mains should be limited.

DST4602 should then (but it is not mandatory) be able to measure the power on the
interchange point with the mains. It is possible to use an external instrument to carry out this
measurement and connect it to an analogue input of DST4602 (AIF.2303 function for P.4001
parameters or equivalent). Alternatively, it is possible to use the fourth current transformer of
DST4602 to perform this measurement. In this case set:
 P.0126 = 1 (mains/bars sensor used to measure the mains).
 P.0109 = 0 (it uses a current transformer for the fourth current).
 P.0108 = x (current transformer primary).
 P.0140 = x (current transformer secondary).
 P.0130 = 2 (current transformer connected on L1 phase of the mains).
 P.0131 = 4 (fourth current used to calculate the power on the mains).
After this, the board calculates power on phase L1 of the mains and, for three-phase systems,
it multiplies it by three, therefore assuming a balanced load. This value is then multiplied by
P.0132 coefficient (default 1.0), which allows correcting load imbalances.
To activate the "load transfer" function from the generators to the mains, it is necessary to
configure a digital input with DIF.2096 function: this input should be active. Moreover:
 If the board is able to measure the power on the mains, the "import/export" mode
should selected for the parallel with the mains (P.0880 = 2) and select "0 kW" (P.0888)
as power on the interchange point.
 Alternatively, select "BASE LOAD" mode for the parallel with the mains (P.0880 = 1)
and set alleged users' power in P.0884.
See document [3] that describes the "transfer to the generators" function in details.
Use P.0426, P.0427 and P.0428 parameters to select the time slot during which the
intervention of the generator should be forced (see description in 11.2.3).
The maximum time that the generator can stay in parallel with the mains is generally decided
by the Supplier of the power mains; it can be set with P.0890 "Maximum time in parallel with
the mains" parameter. By leaving the parameter to zero, no limitation is set on the duration of
the parallel to mains.
