WARNING
Read this entire manual and all other publications pertaining to the work to
be performed before installing, operating, or servicing this equipment.
Practice all plant and safety instructions and precautions. Failure to follow
instructions can cause personal injury and/or property damage.
The engine, turbine, or other type of prime mover should be equipped with
an overspeed (overtemperature, or overpressure, where applicable)
shutdown device(s), that operates totally independently of the prime mover
control device(s) to protect against runaway or damage to the engine,
turbine, or other type of prime mover with possible personal injury or loss of
life should the mechanical-hydraulic governor(s) or electric control(s), the
actuator(s), fuel control(s), the driving mechanism(s), the linkage(s), or the
controlled device(s) fail.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to a control system that uses an alternator or battery-
charging device, make sure the charging device is turned off before
disconnecting the battery from the system.
Electronic controls contain static-sensitive parts. Observe the following

precautions to prevent damage to these parts.
• Discharge body static before handling the control (with power to the
control turned off, contact a grounded surface and maintain contact
while handling the control).
• Avoid all plastic, vinyl, and Styrofoam (except antistatic versions)
around printed circuit boards.
• Do not touch the components or conductors on a printed circuit board
with your hands or with conductive devices.

General Information
Description
The GCP-30 Series is designed to provide total control for small to medium size
applications with multiple generator sets. A network of the compact, versatile
GCP-30 controls is capable of controlling up to eight generator sets with
automatic sequencing.
Load management features include automatic base load/peak shaving,

Import/Export control, and emergency/back up power generation.
The GCP-31 has logic for one circuit breaker. The GCP-32 has logic for two
circuit Breakers including ATS (open transition) and No-Break transfer (closed
transition).
This manual describes the Woodward GCP–30 Series Generator Control

Electrostatic Discharge Awareness
All electronic equipment is static-sensitive, some components more than others.

To protect these components from static damage, you must take special
precautions to minimize or eliminate electrostatic discharges.
Follow these precautions when working with or near the control.
1. Before doing maintenance on the electronic control, discharge the static

electricity on your body to ground by touching and holding a grounded
metal object (pipes, cabinets, equipment, etc.).
2. Avoid the build-up of static electricity on your body by not wearing clothing
made of synthetic materials. Wear cotton or cotton-blend materials as much
as possible because these do not store static electric charges as much as
synthetics.
3. Keep plastic, vinyl, and Styrofoam materials (such as plastic or Styrofoam

cups, cup holders, cigarette packages, cellophane wrappers, vinyl books or
folders, plastic bottles, and plastic ash trays) away from the control, the
modules, and the work area as much as possible.
4. Do not remove the printed circuit board (PCB) from the control cabinet
unless absolutely necessary. If you must remove the PCB from the control
cabinet, follow these precautions:
• Do not touch any part of the PCB except the edges.
• Do not touch the electrical conductors, the connectors, or the

components with conductive devices or with your hands.
• When replacing a PCB, keep the new PCB in the plastic antistatic
protective bag it comes in until you are ready to install it. Immediately
after removing the old PCB from the control cabinet, place it in the
antistatic protective bag.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to electronic components caused by improper
handling, read and observe the precautions in Woodward manual
82715, Guide for Handling and Protection of Electronic Controls,
Printed Circuit Boards, and Modules.

Installation
Unpacking
Before handling the control, read Chapter 2, Electrostatic Discharge Awareness.
Check the control for signs of damage. If any damage is found notify the shipper.
The Compact Disc (CD) included in the package contains important software,
handle this CD carefully and insure it is not discarded with packing materials.
Location Considerations
Mount the GCP Control in a clean, dry place. The panel cutout dimensions are
given in Figure 1-1. Allow room at the sides of the device for the retaining
buckets, access to the Remote Configuration cable connector, and the display
brightness adjustment. Allow room at the back of the device for the wiring to the
terminal blocks, and terminal block removable.
Mounting
Remove the retaining brackets on each side of the device by rotating them
Counter-Clockwise. Insert the device into the panel cutout form the front.
Reattach the retaining brackets and hold the device in place while tightening
adjustable screws on the brackets.
Connection of the Device

Wire to the device by inserting a stripped wire directly into the terminal block, no
lugs or connectors are required. The terminal blocks on the back of the device
are removable for ease of wiring and device troubleshooting. Each terminal
block is keyed and polarized so that they can only be installed in the proper
connector. Note: that terminal 0 is not included in a terminal block. It is a
grounding connection next to terminal block 1. Note: Because the terminal
blocks can be unplugged from the device, Current Transformer terminals must be
shorted before a terminal block is removed.
Connection of the Device

WARNING
A circuit breaker must be provided near to the device and in a
position easily accessible to the operator. This must also bear a sign
identifying it as an isolating switch for the unit.
Woodward 11
NOTE
Connected inductances (e. g. Coils of operating current or
undervoltage tripping devices, auxiliary contactors and power
contactors) must be wired with an appropriate interference
protection.

CAN Interface
The CAN port is used for communication between GCP Controllers or with a
Gateway Device to communicate with an external Human-Machine-Interface
(HMI)
NOTE
Please note that the CAN bus must be terminated at the first and last
controller in the system with a resistor which corresponds to the
wave impedance of the cable (e. g. 120 Ohm). Terminals X1 and X2 of
intermediate controllers must have no connection.
NOTE
For Commutation between GCP-31/32 Controllers and HMI(s) via the
CAN Port, you need an interface Gateway device to convert the CAN
protocol to Modbus, Profibus, or modem. An external HMI can then
monitor the system parameters that are available through the CAN
port. For Direct Parameterization through the CAN connection, a CAN
to RS232 LeoPC Gateway is needed with LeoPC 1 software and
corresponding configuration files.
Parameterization/Configuration Port
20 Woodward
The configuration port connector is located on the side of the GCP 30 controller.
It can be used to configure the GCP-31/32 using a configuration cable and
external computer.
NOTE
To Commutate with GCP-31/32 Controllers via the Configuration Port,
an interface cable (Woodward # 5417-557). LeoPC 1 program
(supplied with the cable) and the corresponding configuration files
are required. Please consult the online help installed when the
program is installed for a description of the LeoPC 1 PC program and
its setup.

Functional Description
Introduction
Configuration of the GCP–30 series controllers requires that close attention be
given to the setpoints and functions that are enabled or disabled and the operation
of the system(s) affected by these configurations.
Options
This manual covers six GCP-30 models and their options:
• Please refer to the wiring diagram and the notes on the options. Refer to the
nameplate for the model and or part number of the unit. If the nameplate is not
available, all parameterization screens can be called up in succession and the
options can be compiled with the assistance of this operating manual.
• The exact text of the configuration display screens will vary for different
models. If an option is not available in a model, that display for configuration is
eliminated.
Power Circuit Breaker

For a GCP-31 (1 circuit-breaker control logic), the following connections and
configurations are required:
• If the GCP-31 is used in a system is to be operated isolated from the
mains:
"isolated operating mode" at terminal 54: HIGH signal (logical "1")
"Release MCB" (terminal 53): LOW signal (logical "0")
Condition: The "emergency power" menu must be set to "OFF"
• If GCP-31 is used in a system operated in parallel with the mains:
"isolated operating mode" at terminal 54: LOW-Signal (logical "0")
"Release MCB" (terminal 53): HIGH signal (logical "1")

NOTE
Any possible emergency power ("Emergency power" parameterization screen
must be set to ON) or Critical-Emergency operation (terminal 6 must be
parameterized accordingly) will be carried out in the "TEST" and
"AUTOMATIC" operating modes regardless of the inputs "Automatic 1" and
"Automatic 2". If Automatic 1 and Automatic 2 are set simultaneously, priority
is given to Automatic 1.
Automatic 1 "Active power setpoint value 1"

Terminal 3 On ............... If the device is in "AUTOMATIC" mode (selected using
the mode selection switch on the front side) the "active
power setpoint value 1" is adjusted in mains parallel
mode. In the case of a fixed power (F), the unit is started
immediately and operation in parallel with the mains is
commenced following the synchronization of the
generator power circuit breaker. In the case of incoming
(B) or outgoing power (L), starting is determined by
automatic start/stop operation. If no automatic start/stop
operation is carried out, the unit is started immediately.
The setpoint value can be modified via both the para-
meterization mode and via the "up/down" buttons in
"AUTOMATIC" mode.
Off ............... If the unit does not run either in critical mode or
emergency power mode, it is stopped. Then a coasting is
carried out and the unit is stopped.
Automatic 2 Selection of the "AUTOMATIC" mode with

Terminal 5 "Active power setpoint value 2"
On ............... If the device is in "AUTOMATIC" mode (selected using
the mode selection switch on the front side) the "Active
power setpoint value 2" is adjusted in mains parallel
mode. In the case of a fixed power (F), the unit is started
immediately and operation in parallel with the mains is
commenced following the synchronization of the
generator power circuit breaker. In the case of incoming
(B) or outgoing power (L), starting is determined by
automatic start/stop operation. If no automatic start/stop
operation is carried out, the unit is started immediately.
The setpoint value can be modified via both the
parameterization mode and via the "up/down" buttons in
"AUTOMATIC" mode.
Off ............... If the unit does not run either in critical mode or
emergency power mode, it is stopped. Then a coasting is
carried out and the unit is stopped.
If a setpoint value is specified externally (e. g. via an analog input 0/4..20 mA or a bi-
directional interface), the external setpoint value is adjusted with the digital input (see
Table of setpoint values).
24 Woodward
Multifunction Digital input terminal 6 may reveal different functions according to the following
Terminal 6 description. Please note that, when used as a critical input, the digital input reveals
negative functional logic. The selection of the logic circuit is made using a
parameterization screen (“Function of Terminal Setting”, p. 130).
• Critical By resetting terminal 6 (setting a low level) critical operation is

activated in accordance with the functional description. This is
terminated by setting terminal 6 (application of a High signal).
Attention: Negative functional logic! (for the function of the
critical operation, please also observe "Error! Reference
source not found." on page Error! Bookmark not defined..)
• Engine release Terminal 6 in this case has the same function as the STOP
button: Resetting terminal 6 (application of a LOW signal)
prevents the motor's starting, and stops the unit if this is already
running; the application of a HIGH signal releases the starting
of the unit; the application of a high signal enables the unit for
startup. Caution: Via this function, emergency power
operation is also prevented or aborted. Emergency power is not
possible without this release signal! The Engine release function
is only possible in "AUTOMATIC" operating mode.
• ext. acknowledge In "STOP" and "AUTOMATIC" modes faults can be

acknowledged externally by setting terminal 6 (Change from a
LOW to a HIGH signal). In order to achieve further
acknowledgement, terminal 6 must accordingly first be reset
and then set again. If a continuous HIGH signal is present at
terminal 6, this has no effect on the acknowledgement and
suppression of fault messages.
• Engine stop By setting terminal 6 (application of a HIGH signal) a start of

the unit can be prevented. If the unit is running because
emergency current is present, setting this digital input stops it.
The digital input is not inverted. The motor block function is
only possible in "AUTOMATIC" operating mode.
• No CB by start If the terminal 6 is set, the unit starts; no synchronization is

carried out and the generator power circuit breaker is not
engaged (no switching to black busbar). The GCB is then
inserted only if emergency current is present. After return of the
mains, there is a switchover to the mains according to the set
switch logic. The start of terminal 6 is of a higher value than the
start via terminals 3/5. If terminal 6 was selected, terminals 3/5
are ignored. If the unit is in mains parallel mode with power
circuit breaker logic "Parallel" and if terminal 6 is activated, the
GCB is opened after a reduction in power. The unit continues to
operate without load with the GCB open.

Command: Close GCB By setting this relay the generator circuit breaker (GCB)
Terminals 14/15 will be commanded to close. If the GCB command is
parameterized for a continuous output, when the digital
input "reply: GCB is open" is removed, the relay is
maintained in its closed state; this is also the case if the
voltages of the generator and the generator busbar are
identical. In the event of a class 3 fault, or the GCB is to be
opened, this relay drops out. In the event of a class 2 fault
the relay does not drop out immediately, but only when the
power is less than 3.125% of the generator power rating. If
the command of the GCB is parameterized to pulse output,
the relay is opened after the pulse time expires
Command: Open GCB By closing this relay the command to open GCB is given.
Terminals 41/42 Following a closed input at "Reply: GCB is open", the relay
output is removed.
Command: Close MCB (GCP-32) By setting this relay the MCB will be closed. This output is

when the Warning Limit is exceeded. In the case of a wire
break, the input value is overwritten with "--.-". At the same
time, the fault output of the assigned fault class occurs.
“Pickup/Gen.Freq” This fault message is shown in the display if the engine pickup
speed deviates excessively (≈10 Hz) from the generator
frequency.
"Interf.err.X1X5" Interface X1-X5 fault. External control signals cannot be

received.
“GCB syn. Failure” If the synchronization time or the connect time for the
generator circuit breaker has been exceeded, this message is
shown. At the same time, a fault class F1 fault is output.
“MCB syn. Failure” If the synchronization time or the connect time for the mains
circuit breaker has been exceeded, this message is shown. At
the same time, a fault class F1 fault is output.
"GCB open failure” If closing of the GCB has not been successful following 5
"GCB close failure” closing attempts, the message "GCB CLOSED failure" is
shown in the display. If "Reply: GCB is open" is not received 2
seconds following the "Command: GCB open" pulse, the
message "GCB OPEN failure" is displayed. At the same time, a
fault class F1 fault is output.
Woodward 29
"MCB open failure" If closing of the MCB has not been successful following 5
"MCB close failure” closing attempts, the message "MCB CLOSED failure" is
shown in the display. If "Reply: MCB is open" is not received
2 seconds following the "Command: MCB open" pulse, the
message "MCB OPEN failure" is displayed. At the same time,
a fault class F1 fault is output.
"Power not zero” The Circuit breaker logic "interchange synchronization" has
been selected and the MCB is to be opened. If the incoming
power cannot be reduced to zero within the time set in the
"Max. start/stop ramp time" screen, this message is displayed.

max. time" and the generator has not reached the voltage and
frequency window allocated to it, this message is displayed.
"Startfail” This message is shown following three unsuccessful engine

start attempts. No further attempt at starting is made. In Critical
operation, starting is attempted six times before this message is
displayed.
"Stop failure" If speed is still detected 30 seconds following the stop signal
(Run signal removed), the message "Stop Failure" is output and
an F3 fault output.
"Service" Following the expiration of the maintenance interval, the

requirement of the next scheduled maintenance is displayed
with this message.
"Not wanted stop" After the unit's starting process was completed and the unit has
reached run speed, this message is display if the generator
frequency suddenly drops to 0 Hz, due to external cause(s).
(Note: Since engine monitoring is deactivated until the firing
speed is reached, and the delay expired, no underfrequency can
be detected during starting. This message is not suppressed due
to the delayed unit monitoring.)

Starting process
The “glow plug” relay will be on for the preheating time. Following preheating,
the Run Relay is set, and then the Starter Relay and engine starts to rotate. When
the firing speed is exceeded, the Starter Relay is disengaged, and the Run Relay
is held on. Also, after firing speed has been reached, a timer is initialized to wait
a delay time before engine fault monitoring is activated. After reaching the "start
frequency f-controller" speed and after a delay time, the speed controller is
activated.
Woodward 31
Stopping process
Upon receiving a shutdown command, the power is reduced to zero (if the active

cooldown time is started, and the engine runs without load. On termination of the
cooldown timer, the Run Relay is turned off, and the engine is stopped. When
engine speed drops below firing speed, a timer is initialized to prevented engine
re-starting for 10 seconds. If the engine is not stopped within 30 seconds of
opening of the Run Relay, the "Shutoff malfunction" fault message appears and a
Class 3 fault indication is output.

Starting process
When a start request is received, the “Run Relay” is picked up, The Starter Relay
is then pick-up. If the unit speed is at least the "minimum start speed", and the
firing delay time has expired, the ignition is switched on. Following the
expiration of the gas delay, the gas valve is then switched on. After the firing
speed is exceeded; the starter is disengaged, the gas valve and the ignition are
held on. Also, after firing speed has been reached, a timer is initialized to wait a
delay time before engine fault monitoring is activated. After reaching the "start
frequency f-controller" speed and after a delay time, the speed controller is
activated.
Stopping process
Upon receiving a shutdown command, the power is reduced to zero (if the active
load controller is switched on). After opening the generator circuit breaker, the
cooldown time is started, and the engine runs without load. On termination of the
cooldown timer, the gas valve is closed. The engine is stopped. When engine
speed drops below firing speed, a timer is initialized to prevented engine re-
starting for 10 seconds. If the engine is not stopped within 30 seconds of closing
the gas valve, the "Shutoff malfunction" fault message appears and a Class 3
fault indication is output.
Following negative deviation from the firing speed, the ignition remains set
for a further 5 seconds so that the remaining gas is able to combust.

If, the "synchronization time control" configuration is ON, The GCP-30 will give
an alarm if the unit synchronization is not achieved within the set time. When
command to synchronize the GCB or MCB is given, the time counter is started,
(the delayed engine monitoring time must have expired). If, the breaker open
command has not been removed before the time limit, a warning message "GCB
synchronization time exceeded" or "MCB synchronization time exceeded" is
displayed and an F1 fault is activated.
Circuit Breaker Monitoring

NOTE
If "MCB monitoring" is enabled, and a fault is detected on
closing the MCB during emergency power operation, F1 Fault
is activated
Woodward 39
Upon CLOSING If the " GCB monitoring" or "MCB monitoring" is set to
"ON", the status of the circuit breaker(s) auxiliary
feedback input is compared to the breaker(s) output
status (exception: The circuit breaker logic is set to
"EXTERNAL"). If the circuit breaker does not indicated
closed by the fifth attempt, a fault class F1 is active and
the message "GCB malfunction" or "MCB malfunction"
is displayed. If the relay manager is set for a relay to
indicate parameter 74 or 75 (see Set Digital Outputs p.
128) that relay is set.
Upon OPENING If the feedback still indicates the breaker is closed 2

seconds after an OPEN pulse (opening of GCB or
MCB), a fault class F1 active and the message "GCB
malfunction" or "MCB malfunction" is displayed. If the
relay manager is set for a relay to indicate parameter 76
or 77, that relay is closed.
.
Circuit Breaker Logic

The available logic operations for the Circuit Breaker control function is:
“PARALLEL”, “OPEN TRANSITION”, “CLOSED TRANSITION”,
“INTERCHANGE”, and “EXTERNAL”.
NOTE
For a description of switch logics, please refer to "Power Circuit Breaker
Logic” (p. 103). The synchronization conditions as described in
"Synchronization of the generator power circuit breakers" starting on
page 34 and "Error! Reference source not found." starting on page Error!
Bookmark not defined. are applicable.
Breaker logic "PARALLEL"

NOTE
This switch logic must be selected for the following operating modes:
isolated operation, isolated operation in parallel with other gensets and
operation in parallel with the mains.
In the event of a engine start request:
• the GCB is synchronized and closed

• the generator is ramped to the active power or reactive power set points:
Import, Export, or Constant Power
Following an engine stop request:

• the generator power is reduced, the generator power factor ϕ is adjusted
to "1",
• the GCB is opened and
• the unit is shut off following cool down.
40 Woodward

If: GCB is open
and MCB is open
and busbar is de-energized
and “Release MCB” is enabled
NOTE
In Parallel transition, When a normal stop command is received (no F3
fault), power reduction is carried out before opening the generator
power circuit breaker.
Breaker logic "OPEN TRANSITION"

• the MCB is synchronized and closed
• the GCB is opened.
NOTE
In Closed Transition, The circuit breakers are opened after a fixed time
delay, regardless of power.
Breaker logic "INTERCHANGE"

NOTE
"Import or Export power setpoint must be preset to 0.0 kW. Before
opening the power circuit breaker, power is reduced to 0 kW at the
mains interchange point.

• the GCB is synchronized and closed
Woodward 41
• the mains power level is adjusted to "zero"
• the MCB is opened

• the MCB is synchronized and closed
• the generator power is adjusted to "zero"
• the GCB is opened
Switch logic "EXTERNAL"

When the breaker logic is in the "EXTERNAL" mode, all breaker control must
be carried out by an external controller. Closing and opening pulses to the MCB
and the GCB are only output by the GCP control in the "MANUAL" operating
mode. In the event of a fault, the switches are opened by the GCP control under
all circumstances.
Emergency Power [GCP-32]

Prerequisite The emergency power function can only be activated in the case
of synchronous generators via the "Emergency power ON"
screen. Emergency power is carried out in "AUTOMATIC" or
"TEST" operating mode regardless of the status of the digital
inputs "Automatic 1" and "Automatic 2".
NOTE
If the "Engine release" or "Engine block" function is assigned to
terminal 6, emergency power can be digitally prevented or
interrupted from an external source. Please refer also to the
description Function of terminal 6 Setting p. 130.
Activation of emergency power: If a fault is detected at the mains power on at

least one of terminals 50, 51 or 52 for the
duration of the time set in the "Emergency
power delay time ON" input screen,
emergency power function is activated. The
fault levels used for a mains voltage fault is
defined as follows: If the mains watchdogs are
switched ON, the limit values are user set, if
the Mains Watchdog is OFF the default limits
are internally defined as follows:
Mains Voltage Limit: 85 % Vrated < VMains < 112 % Vrated

Mains Frequency Limit: 90 % frated <fMains < 110 % frated
In the event of active emergency power operation, the message

"Emergency power" is displayed.
Emergency power is also triggered via the detection of a switch fault when the
MCB is switched on. In order to achieve this, the "Emergency power" (p. 112)
and "MCB monitoring" screens must be set to "ON".
42 Woodward
During active emergency power operation:
• When emergency power is triggered, the unit is started under all

circumstances, unless the procedure is interrupted via a fault or a
change in operating mode.
• If the mains returns during starting, the MCB is not opened.
The unit starts under all circumstances, and waits without
load until the mains settling time has expired. If a further
mains fault occurs during this time, the MCB is opened, and
the GCB is switched to the black busbar. The unit otherwise
shuts off following the expiration of the mains settling time.
• The GCB is closed regardless of the engine delay time after
the black starting limits have been reached.
• If the mains returns during emergency power (GCB is
closed), the mains settling time must pass before reverse
synchronization of the MCB occurs.
Emergency power with "PARALLEL" switch logic

Emergency power: Following the emergency power trigger, the
engine start is delayed for the emergency power
delay time. On reaching the voltage and
frequency limit values, the MCB is opened, and
the GCB is then switched to the black busbar.
The unit takes over the supply of the isolated
network.
Return of the mains Following the return of the mains voltage, the
unit waits until the mains settling time has
expired (0.0 - 999.9 s, shown in the display),
before carrying out synchronization of the bus to
the mains and the MCB is closed. After closing
the mains power circuit breaker, the unit
assumes its original operating mode.
If the mains returns during starting, the mains power
circuit breaker is not opened. During the mains settling
time, the unit operates without load, in order to enable
the immediate connection of the GCB in the event of
further mains faults.
Woodward 43
Emergency power with "OPEN TRANSITION"
switch logic
Emergency power Following emergency power triggering, the emergency
power delay time expires before the unit is started. On
reaching the voltage and frequency limit values, the
MCB is opened, and the GCB is then switched to the
black busbar. The unit takes over the supply of the
isolated network.
Return of the mains Following the return of the mains voltage, the unit waits
until the mains settling time has expired (0 - 999 s,
shown in the display), before it closes the MCB back to
the busbar. If, following the expiration of the mains
settling time, an operating request is present, the unit
remains in isolated operation.

Emergency power with "CLOSED TRANSITION"

switch logic
Emergency power Following the recognition of the emergency power case,
the emergency power delay time expires before the unit
is started. On reaching the voltage and frequency limit
values, the MCB is opened, and the GCB is then
switched to the black busbar. The unit takes over the
supply of the isolated network.
until the mains settling time has expired (0.-999 s,
shown in display). If no operating request is present,
synchronization of the MCB is carried out following the
expiration of this time. Following the closure of the
mains power circuit breaker, the generator power circuit
breaker is opened immediately and without any
reduction in power.

until the mains settling time has expired (0-999 s,
framework: 1 seconds, shown in the display). If no
operating request is present, reverse synchronization of
the MCB is carried out following the expiration of this
time. Following the closure of the mains power circuit
breaker, the generator power circuit breaker is opened
following the reduction in power.
If the mains returns whilst the unit is starting, the mains

power circuit breaker is not opened. During the mains
settling time, the unit operates without load, in order to
enable the immediate connection of the GCB in the
event of further mains faults.

The GCB and the MCB are not otherwise operated—Not
even following the return of the mains.
Emergency power with

mains power circuit breaker malfunction
Mains circuit breaker malfunction
In the "AUTOMATIC" operating mode without a
starting request, the control system is set to emergency
power standby. If the mains power circuit breaker is
tripped, the control system attempts to reactivate it. If
this is not possible (due to an MCB fault), the unit is
started following the "MCB malfunction", emergency
power subsequently supplies the busbar. Only following
the successful acknowledgement of the "MCB
malfunction" fault, is the MCB synchronized and the
Woodward 45
unit shut off again on expiration of the mains settling
time.
Critical Operation
NOTE
The function "Critical" must be assigned to terminal 6. Please refer also to the
description “Function of Terminal 6 Setting” (p. 130)
NOTE
Please note that a High signal must be applied at terminal 6 so that no Critical
operation is carried out. A Low signal informs the control system that the
conditions for Critical operation have been met.
Critical "ON" If the signal at terminal 6 drops off, the Critical ON

command is triggered. The message "Critical operation" is
shown on the display. Up to 6 attempts are made to start the
unit (otherwise 3) if it is not yet in operation. All
malfunctions that cause shutoff become messages.
Exception: Terminal 34 or 61 and overspeed. Terminal 34
(fault input) retains its set fault class (if terminal 34 is not
present, this is terminal 61). It is advisable to assign the
EMERGENCY OFF here.
NOTE
With "Critical Operation" input at terminal 6, fault classes F2 and F3
are converted to a fault class F1 (exception: terminal 34 or 61 and
overspeed).
A distinction is made between three operating conditions:

Mains

Analog controller outputs
The analog PID controller forms a closed-loop control together with the
controlled system (usually a first-order lag element). The parameters of the PID
controller (proportional-action coefficient KPR, derivative-action time TV and
reset time Tn) can be modified individually. The parameterization screens are
used for this purpose.

System deviation xd Permanent deviation from the final value (PID
controller: xd = 0). By different conversions from
these values, the values KPR, Tn and TV can be
determined. Moreover, it is possible, by performing
various calculations, to determine the optimal
controller settings, e. g. by calculating compensation
or adjustment of the time constants, T-sum rule,
symmetric optimum, Bode-diagram. Other setting
procedures and information may be obtained from
current literature.
Controller setting
Initial state The start position of the controller is determined using the initial
state of the controller. If the controller is switched off, the initial
state setting can be used to output a fixed controller position. By
adjusting the initial state value, the speed controller output can
be adjusted. If "MANUAL" operating mode has been selected,
the initial state signal is output with the "START" button. On
setting the "STOP" button, the analog controller is switched off
again.
Initial state Initial state frequency controller 0-100 %

Frequency = 000%
Analog controller output setting with controller switched off. This
value is also used as the initial value.
General settings
CAUTION
The following must be observed regarding the controller setting:
• Ensure that the emergency shutdown system is ready for use.
• While determining the critical frequency, pay attention to the
amplitude and frequency of the engine speed or generator voltage
oscillations.
If the oscillations become uncontrollable: Activate EMERGENCY
SHUTDOWN
The setting rule described below only serves as an example. Whether this method
is suitable for setting your particular system has not been and cannot be taken
into account as each controlled system behaves uniquely.
Woodward 49
There are various methods of setting a controller. The setting rules of Ziegler and
Nichols are explained below (determination for abrupt disturbances on the
system input); this setting method assumes a pure lag element connected in series
with a first-order lag system. If significant Dead Time is present in a system,
desired operation may not be possible.
1. Adjust the Controller to operate as a P-only controller(where Reset time Tn =

0, Derivative time TV = 0)
2. Increase gain KPR (P-gain) until the control loop oscillates continuously at KP
= KPkrit.
CAUTION
If the unit starts to oscillate uncontrollably, carry out an emergency
shutdown and alter the screen setting accordingly.
3. Measure the critical cycle duration Tcrit (Time from one peak, or
valley, to the next).
4. Set the parameters as calculated below:
PID-controller PI-controller
KPR = 0.6 KPcrit KPR = .45 × KPcrit

Tn = 0.5 × Tcrit Tn = 0.83 × Tcrit
TV = 0.125 × Tcrit

The proportional-action coefficient KPR indicates the closed-

controlled variable is achieved more rapidly by increasing the
P-gain.
Reset time Reset time (Tn) 0.2-60.0 s

The reset time Tn represents the I-component of the PID
controller. The I-component allows matching of the Setpoint
and controlled parameter (zero deviation) in controlled steady
state operation.

Derivative time Derivative-action time (TV) 0.00-6.00 s

The derivative-action time TV represents the D-component of
the PID controller. An increase in the phase margin (stability)
and the reduction of over/under shoot from the setpoint results
from increasing this parameter.
Active and/or Reactive Power Load Sharing

[GCB-32 Only]
Load Sharing control guarantees that, in every operating condition (operation in
parallel with the mains, isolated operation in parallel with other gensets or
reverse synchronization of the busbar to the mains), the active power (in
reference to the relevant nominal load) is evenly distributed over the gensets
operating in parallel to the busbar. Devices in the "Test" or "Automatic"
operating mode are involved in the active or reactive power distribution.
Operation in parallel with the Each controller involved in distribution control

mains with mains interchange influences the genset to which it is assigned in such a
control manner that the active power set at the mains
interchange point (main control variable) remains
constant. All units are interlinked through a CAN bus.
Deviation in active power (generator power) can be
determined for each genset. This control variable is
taken into consideration on controlling the
interchange load. The ratio accuracy of the secondary
control and the main control variable (= "reference
variable") can be set by adjusting a ratio value. In
controlled state, the set active power flows at the
mains interchange point, whereby the total active
power is subdivided equally amongst those gensets
involved in distribution control. If a constant power
(C, fixed value) has been input as the setpoint value
for a genset, this genset is no longer involved in
distribution control.
Isolated operation in parallel Each controller involved in distribution control

with other gensets influences the genset to which it is assigned in such a
manner that the rated frequency (main control
variable) that has been set remains constant. All units
are interlinked through a CAN bus, Deviation in active
power (generator power) can be determined for each
genset. This control variable is taken into
consideration on controlling the frequency. The ratio
accuracy of the secondary control and the main control
variable (= "reference variable") can be set by
adjusting a ratio value. In controlled state, the isolated
system has the set rated frequency, whereby the total
active power (in reference to the relevant nominal
power) is subdivided equally amongst those gensets
involved in distribution control.
Woodward 51
Reverse synchronization of the Distribution is carried out according to the type of
busbar to the mains isolated operation. However, the setpoint value for
the frequency is formed from the mains frequency
(+/-0.1 Hz). The output "Mains power circuit
breaker CLOSE" will be closed simultaneously for
all devices.
Prerequisites It is imperative that the rated system frequencies (p.

80), the starting/stopping parameters (p. 91) and the
circuit breaker logic (p. 103) are set to the same
values for all units involved in distribution control.
Description of the interface for Distribution control is based on a multi-master bus

distribution control between the units. There is no ‘Master Unit’. This
structure enables the parallel operation of up to 8
gensets.
The following must be noted to
ensure correct operation: 1. The maximum interconnect cable length
must not exceed 250 meters.
2. The cabling must be terminated at each
end with terminating resistors that
correspond to the wave impedance of the
bus cable (approx. 80 to 120 Ω).
3. The connection must be of a linear
structure. Dead-end feeders are not
permissible.
4. Screened (shielded) "Twister-Pairs" are
preferable for use as the bus cable.
5. The cable must not be routed in the
vicinity of heavy current power lines.

Active power distribution via the CAN bus
How a unit carries out active power or frequency control in isolated operation in
parallel with other gensets, is defined by the "active power distribution reference
variable" parameter .A percent (%), or ratio of the “Active and/or Reactive
Power” Distribution parameter (p. 89). In this case, a setting of 10 % means
increased active power control and closer load sharing, and 90 % means
increased frequency control and less frequency variation with load level. This
parameter must be input individually for each unit.
In a distribution control system, it must be noted that each unit calculates the
mean utilization factor of all units from the data transmitted on the CAN bus,
and then compares this with its own utilization factor. The utilization factor is
compared with the units ‘old’ reference variable, and results in a new
reference variable. Frequency and active power control are simultaneously
carried out in these units.
Frequency control is carried out via the measured generator voltage/frequency

of the system. The engine speed pickup is used only for monitoring functions,
or is available as an actual control value to the secondary controller.

Parameterization Screens
Introduction
Various groups of parameters are placed together in blocks to allow you to
navigate through the large number of parameterization screens more rapidly.
Selecting "YES" or "NO" to a group heading has no effect on whether or not
control or monitoring, is carried out. The input merely has the following effects:
YES The parameterization screens in the next block of that heading are
displayed and can either be viewed ( 12 "Select" button) or modifications can be
made to the parameters ( 14 "Cursor →", 13 "Digit ↑" or 12 "Select" buttons). This
is not a decision to enable the function, only to configure and setup the function.
NO The parameters for a function are not displayed, cannot be modified and are
therefore skipped.
Input of the Parameters

To access the configuration menus, simultaneously press the 13 "Digit↑" and
14 "cursor→"buttons. Then the 12 "select". If the 12 "select" button is held pressed
for a longer period of time, the scroll function will be activated, and the screens
will be browsed rapidly. Simultaneously pressing the 12 "select" and 14
"cursor→" buttons allows you to scroll backward to the last four
parameterization screens. Exception: The service routine and the break from the
first to the last screen. If no entry, modification or any other action is carried out
for 60 seconds, the unit automatically returns to the basic screen.
Password protection configuration

The unit is equipped with a three-level code and parameterization hierarchy,
which enables it to limit the various parameterization screens for different users.
A distinction is made between:
Code level 0 User: Third party

(CL0) This code level allows no access to the parameters and no
password needs to be entered. The input function is blocked.
Code level 1 User: Customer

(CL1) This code level entitles the user to change a few selected
parameters (e. g. Rated active power, etc.). Changing a password
is not possible at level.1
Code level 2 User: Commissioner

(CL2) With code level 2 the user has access to view and change all
configuration and parameter settings. In addition, the user may
also set the password for levels 1 and 2 from this level.
Woodward 71
NOTE
Once a code level is entered, the unit remains at that code level. To
exit code level CL1 or CL2 enter an incorrect code number, the code
level is then set to CL0 and the unit is therefore locked for external
users (password input on p. 78). Two hours after the last input to the
unit, the code level is automatically set to CL0. To access level CL1 or
CL2 again, it is necessary to enter the proper code number.
Enter code Enter code number 0-9999

0000 On accessing the parameterization mode, a code number, which
identifies the various users, is first requested. The displayed number
XXXX is a random number that is re-calculated each time this screen is
accessed and is confirmed with the 12 "select" button. If the random
number has been confirmed with 12 "select" without being changed, the
unit's code level remains unchanged. Two four-digit code numbers
(0000-9999) exist for changing the code level and setting up new code
words for the users. No assignment is required for the "third party" user
level, as the user does not usually receive access to the parameterization
level (protected via the code).
Load Language
(B/X units only)
In order to load a different language into the unit, proceed as follows:
1.) Make a connection between your PC and the unit via the direct
parameterization cable (DPC) or via GW 4. To do this insert one end in the
COM-Port of the PC and the other end in the socket on the side of the unit.
2.) Enter the password for code level into the unit.
3.) Using the Select Button on the display, scroll down until you reach the
parameterization screen "Load Language".
4.) Enter "YES".
5.) Scroll down until you reach the parameterization screen "Language number"
and select the base language in which you enter "0".
6.) At the screen "Number of tool" enter the number (1-8) with which you
operate the unit via LeoPC. These numbers are identical to the generator
numbers.
7.) Now start the PC program LeoPC 1 and load the corresponding language
files.
8.) Click in the menu item "Extras" on "Load language".
9.) Click the checkmark "All" that appears in the popup menu and next on
"Transmit language".
72 Woodward
10.) If, after transmission of the first language, an additional language is to be
loaded, the SECOND language must be selected in the parameterization
screen "Sprache/language" of the unit or enter a "one" in the "Language
number" screen. Then you can repeat steps 6.) through 9.).
Direct Parameterization
(Parameterization Using the Lateral Plug)
NOTE
To carry out parameterization using the side plug (direct
parameterization), you require a direct parameterization cable (order
code "DPC"), the LeoPC 1 program (supplied with the cable) and the
corresponding configuration files. The LeoPC 1 PC program has
online help installed with it, refer to the Help files for a description of
the software and its setup.
Direct parameterization For parameterization, from a remote computer

the password for level 2 must be entered at the screen "Enter Code", otherwise,
the values can only be read but not written. Inputting by the bus has no influence
on the displayed screen; this means, if the unit is in Code level 0, it also behaves
as described in the previous section; only parameterization through the remote
bus is permissible. The isolation for the parameterization via the bus is valid for
10 minutes from the point in time at which parameterization or readout has not
occurred; afterwards, the password must be entered again. The password must
also be entered in advance to load the language. If the code for level 2 is entered
on the unit itself, the parameterization using the external computer is
automatically enabled.
WARNING
If the parameter "Direct parameterization" is set to "YES",
communication by the interface at terminals X1-X5 is locked off. If
communication is to be re-established through X1-X5 after
configuring the unit (e. g. CAN bus connection using a Gateway GW
4), the Direct para. must be set to "NO"!
Direct parameterization is switched to “NO” by the GCP-30 for safety
reasons once the firing speed has been reached. That means that
further setting by a external computer using the Parameterization
plug is not possible. Changing of the unit parameters is only possible
using the display buttons directly, or via the CAN bus interface. The
deactivation of the direct parameterization is for safety reasons, so
that in the case of multiple systems starting simultaneously (e. g.
Emergency power situation) a simultaneous closing of breakers the
black busbar is prevented.
Woodward 73
Direct Para. Parameterization via the parameterization plug YES/NO

YES
YES A parameterization via the lateral plug is possible, and
any CAN bus connection at terminals X1-X5 is
deactivated. The following conditions must be met in
order to carry out parameterization via the lateral plug:
- A connection must be established via the direct
parameterization cable between the unit and the PC,
- the baud rate of the LeoPC program must be set to
9,600 Baud and
- the corresponding parameterization file must be
used (file name: "xxxxxxxp.asm", initiated by
xxx.cfg).
NO Parameterization from the lateral plug cannot be
carried out, and any available CAN bus connection via
the terminals X1-X5 is activated.

NOTE
There are two different types of hardware, which are described in this
operating manual: A 100- V version [1] and a 400- V version [4]. The
parameterization screens and parameter inputs differ in both

• the "AUTOMATIC" mode has been selected
• Mains power control has been activated by one of the two digital inputs
("Automatic 1" or "Automatic 2") ("I" or "E" power)
• one or both input screens "Load-dependent stop/start on terminal 3/5"
has been set to "ON".
Woodward 89
Minimum load Generator minimum setpoint power 0-2,000 kW

generator 0000kW
Interchange active-power control requires a generator setpoint
power value. In many cases, starting the unit is only sensible
after reaching a certain generator setpoint power value, in
order therefore to operate the unit with a reasonable degree of
efficiency. For example, at least 40 kW of active power must
be supplied by the unit in order for it to start.
Add-on delay Start delay for load-dependent starting/stopping 0-999 s

mains oper. 000s
Starting may be delayed even if the generator start power has
been reached. In order to avoid starting the unit in the event of
short-term load switch-on, a start delay time may be input here
in seconds. The start power must therefore be present without
interruption during this period of time, in order to ensure that
the unit is started.
Shed-off delay Stop delay for load-dependent starting/stopping 0-999 s

mains oper. 000s
Stopping can be delayed even if the generator minimum load
has been reached. In order to avoid switching the unit off in
the event of short-term load interruptions, a stop delay time
may be input here in seconds. The generator power must be
below the minimum without interruption during this period of
time, in order to ensure that the unit is stopped.
Stopping Hysteresis
NOTE
The following screen is used to determine Stopping hysteresis for
single units operating in parallel with the mains, for units connected
to other units in operation in parallel with the mains and in isolated
operation in parallel with other gensets. However, the screen appears
only once at this point.
Hysteresis add-. Hysteresis of load-dependent starting/stopping 0-999 kW

on/off op. 000kW
The stopping power of the unit is determined via Hysteresis.
Hysteresis is used to prevent the unit's continuously starting
and shutting down again.
Operation in parallel with the Mains

(mains incoming power control with one unit)
The following generally applies:
Case 1: Unit start If [PNT.setpoint - PNT.actual > Pstart] the unit starts.
Case 2: Unit stop If [PNT.setpoint - PNT.actual + PGN.actual.tot < Pstart - PHyst] the unit
stops.
Where: PNT setpoint is power controller setpoint
90 Woodward
PNT.actual is mains power measured at
interchange point.
PGN = generator power
Example The power supplied by the mains should be limited to 50

kW. This value is input in the setpoint value screen (see
Chapter "Controller") as "I0050kW". The generator
should be operated with at least 30 kW (minimum
generator load.
For calculation only incoming is represented by a
negative number, export power as a positive number.
PNT.setpoint = -50 kW incoming power must be input

as a negative number, output power as a positive
number.
Pstart = 30 kW the minimum power requested by the
unit.
PHyst = 10 kW the power Hysteresis for stopping.
When inserted into the above mentioned formula, this

means:
Example for case 1 The unit starts with the following incoming mains
power: If formula (a) is inverted, this results in
[PNT.actual < PNT.setpoint - Pstart] ⇒ PNT.actual < - 50 kW - 30 kW =

-80 kW ⇒ "I0080 kW"
The power supplied by the mains must be at least 80 kW

in order for the engine to start. This is then operated with
a minimum power of 30 kW.
Example for case 2 The unit stops if it has to output less than the minimum
power minus hysteresis. This is the case with the
following generator power: If formula for case 2 is
inverted, this results in
[PGN.actual = stop power unit < - PNT.setpoint+ PNT.actual +

Pstart - Physt]
PGN.actual < - 50 kW + 50 kW + 30 kW - 10 kW = 20
kW
If the generator falls below its minimum power minus

hysteresis, it is stopped. The power incoming from the
mains therefore remains at the value that is to be
controlled until just prior to stopping. Following
stopping, the power supplied by the mains increases to
70 kW. Unit will not restart until mains import increases
to 80 kW
Woodward 91
Interconnection with other Units
in Operation in Parallel with the Mains
The load-dependent start/stop function is activated when, for every unit,

• the "AUTOMATIC" mode has been selected and
• interchange power control has been activated by one of the two digital
inputs ("Automatic 1" or "Automatic 2") ("E"- or "I" power) and
• all inputs, such as start/stop power, start/stop delays, selected setpoint
values are identical for all units involved and
has been set to "ON" and
• the input screens "Active power distribution" or. "Reactive-power
distribution" have been set to "ON" and
• the same rated power is available to all units.
NOTE
The following parameter becomes effective only if another unit is to
be started in parallel operation with the mains. The first unit is started
as described under individual operation on the basis of minimum
generator power.
Reserve power Reserve power for load-dependent starting/stopping (mains)

mains op. 000kW 0-999 kW
The starting of an additional unit is determined via the reserve

power. The reserve power results from the currently available
total generator-rated active power (generator rated active
power × number of closed generator power circuit breakers)
and the current total generator-Actual active power. If the total
generator actual power is subtracted from the currently
available total generator rated power, this results in the
system's reserve power. If this reserve power is less than value
entered here, the next unit is started.

This priority specifies the sequence in which the individual
units are started. The unit for which the smallest number was
entered has the highest priority. This unit is the first to be
started and the last to be stopped. In the event of identical
priorities, the starting sequence is determined by the operating
hours. In this case, the unit with fewer operating hours takes
priority. In the event of the same number of operating hours,
the unit with the smaller generator number is permitted to start.
92 Woodward
Operation in Parallel with the Mains
(mains incoming power control with several units)
Case 3: Start first unit. If there is no generator breaker closed to

the bus and [PNT.setpoint - PNT.actual > Pstart]
the first unit starts.
Case 4: Starting additional units. At least one GCB is closed and

[PGN.actual.tot + Preserve.parallel > Prated.tot] the
next unit starts.
Case 5: Stopping At least two GCBs are closed and

[PGN.act.tot + Preserve.parallel + Physt + Prated <
Prated.tot] a unit stops.
Case 6: Stopping last unit Only one GCB is closed and

[PNT.setpoint - PNT.actual + PGN.actual.tot < Pstart
- Physt] the last unit stops.
Example The active power supplied by the mains,

should be controlled to 0 kW. This value
is input in the setpoint value screen (see
"Controllers") as "I0000kW" (corresponds
to "E0000kW"). The reserve power in the
system should be 40 kW. The power
hysteresis should be 20 kW. Three units
are to be operated within the group. The
rated power of a unit is 200 kW. The
minimum power of a unit should be 30
kW
PRated= 200 kW Rated power of a unit

Example for Case 3 power supplied by the mains, with which the first unit is
started:
PNT.actual < PNT.setpoint - Pstart.gen
PNT.actual < 0 kW - 30 kW = -30 kW ⇒ I00 30 kW
The power supplied by the mains must be at least 30 kW

in order for the first unit to start. This is then operated
with a minimum power of 30 kW .
Woodward 93
Example for Case 4 generator active power, at which the second unit is
started:
PGN.actual > Prated.tot - (PReserve.Parallel / No. GCB)
PGN.actual > 200 kW – (40 kW / 1) = 160 kW
If the generator active power exceeds 160 kW, negative

deviation from the preset reserve power has occurred. As
a result of this, the next unit is started.
Example for Case 4 generator active power of each individual unit, at which
the third unit is started:
PGN.actual > Prated.tot - (Preserve.parallel / No. GCB) - Prated
PGN.actual. > 400 kW – (40 kW / 2) - 200 kW = 180 kW
If the generator active power of both units exceeds 360

kW (each unit supplies more than 180 kW), negative
deviation from the preset reserve power has occurred. As
a result of this, the last unit is started.
one unit is stopped:
PGN.actual.tot < Prated.tot - Preserve.parallel - Prated - Physt
PGN.actual.tot < 600 kW - 40 kW - 200 kW - 20 kW = 340
kW
(PGN.actual < PGN.actual.tot ) / No. GCB = 340 kW / 3 =
113.3 kW
If the generator active power of the three units falls

below 340 kW (each individual unit below 113.3 kW),
one unit is stopped. After one unit has been stopped, the
input reserve power is still available.
one of the two units is stopped:
PGN.actual.tot < Prated.tot - Preserve.parallel - Prated - Physt

kW
(PGN.actual < PGN.actual.tot) / No. GCB = 140 kW / 2 = 70
kW
If the generator active power of the two units falls below

140 kW (each individual unit below 70 kW), one
machine is stopped. After the unit has been stopped, the
input reserve power is still available.
Example for Case 6 generator active power, at which the last unit is stopped :
PGN.actual < - PNT.setpoint + PNT.actual + Pstart.gen - Physt

PGN.actual. < - 0 kW + 0 kW + 30 kW - 20 kW = 10 kW
94 Woodward
If the generator falls below its minimum active power
minus hysteresis, it is stopped. The power incoming
from the mains therefore remains at the value that is to
be controlled until just prior to stopping. Following
stopping, the power supplied by the mains increases to
10 kW.
Isolated Operation in Parallel with other Gensets
• The load-dependent start/stop function is activated when, for every unit

• the "AUTOMATIC" mode has been selected and
• all inputs, such as start/stop power, start/stop delays, frequency setpoint
values are identical for all units involved and
has been set to "ON" and
• the input screens "Active power distribution" or "reactive-power
distribution" have been set to "ON" and
• the same rated power is available to all units.
Reserve power Reserve power for load-dependent Starting/stopping (isol. op.)

isol.op. 000kW 0-999 kW
The reserve power results from the currently available total

generator rated active power (generator rated active power ×
number of closed generator power circuit breakers) and the
current total generator actual active power. If the current total
generator actual power is subtracted from the currently
available total generator rated power, this results in the
system's reserve power. If this reserve power is less than the
value entered here, the next unit is started.

Starting may be delayed even if the generator add-on power
has been reached. In order to avoid starting the unit in the event
of short-term load add on. The start delay time is input in

Stopping can be delayed even if the generator shed-off power
has been reached. In order to avoid switching the unit off in the
event of short-term load interruptions. The stop delay time is

INTERCHANGE In this operating mode, the MCB and the GCB are synchronized, in order
to avoid a voltage-free busbar. To avoid the actuation of a power circuit breaker
under load the generator power is ramped up after a breaker closes, and down
before a breaker opens. Otherwise, the other power circuit breaker is opened
immediately following the synchronization of the one power circuit breaker.
Continuous operation in parallel with the mains is not possible. Following the

Phase Shift Monitoring

Function A phase shift is a sudden change in the voltage curve, and may
be caused by a major generator load change. In this case, the
measuring circuit detects a change in the cycle duration. This
change in the cycle duration is compared with a calculated mean
value from previous measurements. Monitoring encompasses all
three phases. The threshold value in degrees specifies the
difference in time between the mean and the current value in
reference to a full cycle. Monitoring can be set in various
manners. The phase shift watchdog may be used as an additional
facility for detecting a fault and decoupling from the mains.
Phase shift Phase shift monitoring ON/OFF

ON Mains frequency monitoring is carried out, and any
phase shift within the defined range is registered. The
Monitoring Phase shift monitoring threephase-one-/threephase

one-/threephase
one-/threephase During single-phase voltage phase shift
monitoring, a trip occurs if the phase shift
exceeds the specified threshold value in
at least one of the three phases. Note: If a
phase shift occurs in one or two phases,
the single-phase threshold value is taken
into consideration; if a phase shift occurs
in all three phases, the three-phase
threshold value is taken into
consideration. This type of monitoring is
very sensitive, and may lead to false
tripping if the selected phase angle
settings are too small.
threephase During sensing of three-phase voltage
phase shift monitoring, a trip occurs only
if the phase shift exceeds the specified
threshold value in all three phases within
2 cycles.
NOTE
If monitoring is set to "threephase" only the second of the two
following screens is visible; if monitoring is set to "one-/threephase",
both screens are visible.

The Digital Input function allows for Normally Open or Normally closed logic
from external fault inputs. The GCP-30 internal signal is always a Logic “1”
when fault occurs. Therefore the input must be set to match the external logic
function.
Normally Open (D) ......... The fault activated relay (Fig. 6-2) picks up when the
associated fault trips (becomes active), i.e., in the
fault operating state, current flows through the coil
and the operating current contact will apply voltage
to the GCP-30 input. (voltage between input and
Common. The fault relay is de-energized in normal
operation, so there will be no change in the state of
the relay in the event of a power outage and the
input will not trip. In this case, the relay's readiness
for operation should be monitored externally.
Normally Closed (E)........ The fault activated relay (Fig 6-3) drops out when the
fault is tripped, i.e., in the normal running (idle)
state, current flows through the coil and the relay is
pulled in. On a fault or loss of power to the device,
the relay will de-energize and there will be a change
in the state of the relay. The digital input will have
voltage removed from the input.
For Figure 6-2 an 6-3 the Operating Current Contact is connected to the digital
input terminal for positive logic, or the common terminal (33 or 60) for negative

Commissioning
WARNING—HIGH VOLTAGE
When commissioning the unit, please observe the five safety rules that
apply to the handling of live equipment. Make sure that you know how to
provide first aid in current-related accidents and that you know where the
first aid kit and the nearest telephone are. Never touch any live components
of the system or on the back of the system:
LIFE THREATENING
WARNING
The unit may only be commissioned by a qualified technician. The
"EMERGENCY -SHUTOFF function must function safely before the
commissioning and must not depend on the particular machine
CAUTION
Prior to commissioning, check that all measuring voltages are correctly
connected with regard to phases. The connect commands for the power
circuit breakers must be disconnected at the power circuit breakers.
The rotating field must be measured. Any lack or incorrect connection of
measuring voltages or other signals may lead to incorrect functions and
damage the unit as well as engines and components connected to the unit.
Procedure:
1. After checking to ensure that all measuring voltages have been connected
to the correct phases, the supply voltage.
2. By simultaneously pressing the two buttons 13 "Digit↑" and

14 "Cursor→", the input and test mode is accessed. After inputting the
code number, all parameters are first set. (See the Chapter regarding
input screens).
3. Following the application of the supply voltage, please check that all
measuring values (voltages, currents, wattages, power circuit breaker
analog input replies) are correctly displayed. The unit must only be
started if the power circuit breaker replies are correct.
4. First start the drive unit via the "MANUAL" operating mode (press the
22 "MANUAL" button) ( 23 "START") and then stop it ( 24 "STOP"). All
generator measuring values must be checked. Please also check any

alarms caused by faults.
5. Check the automatic start procedure via the "TEST" operating mode
(press the 25 "TEST" button). Test alarms caused by faults with shutoff.
6. Operating mode "AUTO" (Press the button 21 "AUTO"): Automatic

starting with subsequent synchronization can now be carried out by
applying the automatic control inputs and the motor request.
Check synchronization: Check the generator and the
generator busbar rotating field. Check the connect
142 Woodward
command with a zero voltmeter (determination of the phase
angle) at the generator power circuit breaker. If several
correct synchronizing pulses have been output, switch the
operating mode to "STOP" and reconnect the connect pulse
"Command: Close GCB" with the unit at a standstill.
7. If Points 1 to 6 have been carried out successfully, you may

now initially commence operation in parallel with the mains
with a constant power (approx. 25 % of the generator rated
power). Whilst this is being carried out, the displayed
measuring values must be checked. Check GCB shutoff.
Check the active power controller and, if necessary, the
power factor ϕ controller. Preset various setpoint values and
check control.
8. If operation in parallel with the mains is carried out in a

satisfactory manner, the synchronization of the mains power
circuit breaker must be checked:
At this point, at the latest, it must be ensured that a power

failure in the system has been clarified or registered. During
operation in parallel with the mains, the unit must be
switched to "MANUAL" operating mode; the mains power
circuit breaker is then deactivated. ("MCB ON" LED is
extinguished). The unit must then be switched back to
"AUTOMATIC" operating mode.
Check the generator busbar and the mains rotating field.

Check the connect command with a zero voltmeter
(determination of the phase angle) at the mains power
circuit breaker. If several correct synchronizing pulses have
been output, switch the operating mode to "STOP" and
reconnect the connect pulse "Command: MCB close" with
the unit at a standstill.
9. Test emergency power operation functions.
NOTE
The function in automatic mode is influenced via the available input signals
"Automatic 1" and "Automatic 2". Make sure that the reply messages of the
power circuit breaker are processed inverted, i. e., when the power circuit
breaker is closed there must be a "reply message applied on the inputs: CB
is open" 0 V (auxiliary contact of the power circuit breaker as a break
contact! - note the description of the auxiliary and control inputs at the
beginning of this operating manual). It is vital that these replies be
connected!
Electrical isolation between voltage supply and digital control and

feedback inputs
Via corresponding external wiring, the common reference point of the
digital inputs can be electrically isolated from the supply voltage (0 V,
terminal 2). This is necessary, for example, if the digital inputs are not
to be triggered with 24 Vdc and an electrically isolation of the control
voltage (e. g. 220 Vdc, 220 Vac) from the supply voltage must be
insured.

Service Options
Product Service Options

The following factory options are available for servicing Woodward equipment,
based on the standard Woodward Product and Service Warranty (5-01-1205) that
is in effect at the time the product is purchased from Woodward or the service is
performed:
• Replacement/Exchange (24-hour service)
• Flat Rate Repair
• Flat Rate Remanufacture
If you are experiencing problems with installation or unsatisfactory performance

of an installed system, the following options are available:
• Consult the troubleshooting guide in the manual.
• Contact Woodward technical assistance (see “How to Contact Woodward”
later in this chapter) and discuss your problem. In most cases, your problem
can be resolved over the phone. If not, you can select which course of action
you wish to pursue based on the available services listed in this section.
Replacement/Exchange
Replacement/Exchange is a premium program designed for the user who is in
need of immediate service. It allows you to request and receive a like-new
replacement unit in minimum time (usually within 24 hours of the request),
providing a suitable unit is available at the time of the request, thereby
minimizing costly downtime. This is also a flat rate structured program and
includes the full standard Woodward product warranty (Woodward Product and
Service Warranty 5-01-1205).
This option allows you to call in the event of an unexpected outage, or in

advance of a scheduled outage, to request a replacement control unit. If the unit is
available at the time of the call, it can usually be shipped out within 24 hours.
You replace your field control unit with the like-new replacement and return the
field unit to the Woodward facility as explained below (see “Returning
Equipment for Repair” later in this chapter).
Charges for the Replacement/Exchange service are based on a flat rate plus
shipping expenses. You are invoiced the flat rate replacement/exchange charge
plus a core charge at the time the replacement unit is shipped. If the core (field
unit) is returned to Woodward within 60 days, Woodward will issue a credit for
the core charge. [The core charge is the average difference between the flat rate
replacement/exchange charge and the current list price of a new unit.]
144 Woodward
Return Shipment Authorization Label. To ensure prompt receipt of the core,
and avoid additional charges, the package must be properly marked. A return
authorization label is included with every Replacement/Exchange unit that leaves
Woodward. The core should be repackaged and the return authorization label
affixed to the outside of the package. Without the authorization label, receipt of
the returned core could be delayed and cause additional charges to be applied.
Flat Rate Repair

Flat Rate Repair is available for the majority of standard products in the field.
This program offers you repair service for your products with the advantage of
knowing in advance what the cost will be. All repair work carries the standard
Woodward service warranty (Woodward Product and Service Warranty 5-01-
1205) on replaced parts and labor.
Flat Rate Remanufacture

Flat Rate Remanufacture is very similar to the Flat Rate Repair option with the
exception that the unit will be returned to you in “like-new” condition and carry
with it the full standard Woodward product warranty (Woodward Product and
Service Warranty 5-01-1205). This option is applicable to mechanical products
only.

Notes (on interface)

Framework data for procedure 3964 (TTY, RS232, RS485)
Data ........................................ String length 8 Bit

Stop bit 1 Bit
Parity bit 1 Bit with even parity
Idle state This corresponds to the condition log. ″1″ (20 mA with TTY)
Data format 16 bit binary values
Transfer rate 9,600 Baud. Other baud rates on request. The records are
transferred cyclically.
RK 512 interpreter procedure See Siemens documentation on procedure 3964.

Framework data for hardware handshaking RTS/CTS (RS232)
Data Signal element length .............8 bit

Stop bit....................................1 bit
Parity bit .................................1 bit with straight parity
Data format .............................16 bit binary values
Transfer rate............................9,600 Baud. Other baud rates on request. The records
are transferred cyclically.
Procedure When the transmitter is ready for data transmission, it notifies the receiver of this by
switching its control line RTS to "ON". The prerequisite of this is that no data are
received (CTS = "OFF"). The receiver registers this status and indicates its readiness
to receive by switching its RTS line to "ON". The transmitter can then begin
transmitting when it detects this "ON" status on its CTS line. As soon as the receiver
withdraws its RTS signal (RTS = "OFF"), the transmitter interrupts its transmission
and waits until the receiver is ready to receive again. The initialization conflict (both
subscribers set the RTS line simultaneously) and time-out (one subscriber waits in
vain for a reply) must be taken into consideration.
Coding of the current direction
The current direction can be recognized via the code word prefix. A positive transmitted value
indicates supply (power output), a negative transmitted value indicates power consumption
(incoming supply).
Coding of the power default
The following power values may be preset: fixed power (F power), outgoing power (L power)
and incoming power (B power). The active power setpoint is transmitted in binary form using
bits 0-13. The control argument must be transmitted in the basis of bits 14 and 15. In this case,
the following coding applies:
Control Bit 15 Bit 14

argument
F power 0 1
L power 0 0
B power 1 1
Examples:
F power of 150 kW is to be compensated.
The value transmitted is then:
01/00 0000 1001 0110 B Î 4096 H
L power of 300 kW is to be compensated.

00/00 0001 0010 1100 B Î 012C H
B power of 600 kW is to be compensated. Negative power is transmitted.
