PLC-controlled systems, and the interfacing can be
done via binary and analogue I/Os or via serial
communication. Setup
Setup is easily done via a menu structure in the display
(password-protected) or via the USB PC connection.
Display unit
The display unit is separate and can be installed directly
on the main unit or in the front of the switchboard door
(3m display cable included). Up to two additional Approvals
displays can be installed within 200m. The MCS-3 is marine-approved by all major
classification societies and is UL/cUL listed.
The display unit shows all measured and calculated
values as well as alarms and data from the event log.

Operation modes
Four different regulation modes can easily be selected
through digital inputs on the standard MCS-3, and the
governor will be controlled accordingly:

1. Fixed frequency
2. Fixed power (base load)
3. Frequency droop
4. Load sharing

The MCS-3 can be used in simple or complex applications. The above shows some of the applications,
but due to the flexible mode selection, the MCS-3 can be used in all applications.
