The CEM7 control unit has 2 levels of 4-digit password to protect against
unauthorized access. The different levels of access are as follows:
•• User (default password: 1111). User level access allows the operator
to access the main menu of the CEM7 control unit.
•• Maintenance (default password: 1911). Maintenance level access
allows the operator to access the Parameters programming option
from the main menu.
The CEM7 control unit's passwords are customizable by the user from the main
menu. A user can configure both passwords for their access level and lower-level
passwords.
NOTE
To enter a password see Appendix II: password entry
In manual mode, the control unit is commanded by the user via the front panel of
the display module. The user can start and stop the engine by pressing the
START and STOP keys respectively.
Pressing the START key initiates the engine starting procedure (without
deactivating the network contactor CEM7 + CEA7CC2). Pressing the STOP key
initiates the engine stopping procedure with cooling; a second press of the STOP
key causes the engine to stop immediately without waiting for the cooling time.
NOTE
In manual mode, the control unit's protection devices remain active, being able
to produce alarms that cause the motor to stop.
In manual mode, the control unit does not take into consideration the start
conditions (programmed, by external signal) that can be programmed.
Activation of the genset contactor on the CEM7P display module is performed by
pressing the GENSET key.
Pressing the Auto or Man keys for 5 seconds activates the locking of the mode.
This control unit state is indicated by the flashing of the mode key currently
active. To deactivate the mode lock and allow normal operation of the control
unit, press the key associated to the active mode for 5 seconds.
Under the conditions for activating the control unit, proceed to perform the
following engine start procedure:

4.3 FUEL TRANSFER PUMP
It is possible to activate the fuel transfer pump of the CEM7 control unit by
associating its operation with the BT relay of the measurements module

programme time slots in one of the gensets (the master genset) in the facility,
for:
•• Forced start-up. During this period, the master genset will have
priority start-up and the facility’s genset in reserve will stop running,
once the master genset has started running.
•• Start-up inhibited. During this period, the master genset will not have
priority and therefore, the genset in reserve will start up. Once the
genset in reserve has started running, the master genset will stop.
PROGRAMMING
Enabling the genset in reserve function is performed by programming a control
unit parameter (Regulations table, parameter 31, values 4 to 7).

5. CEM7 CONTROL UNIT INPUTS AND
OUTPUTS
The CEM7 control unit's digital inputs, both those with a specific purpose as well
as those which are programmable, have a debounce time associated (Times table,
parameters 15-24) which requires that the value of the input is stable over a time
interval. Also, all of the CEM7 control unit's inputs can be configured to be active
with contact closed to earth or be inactive with contact closed to earth (Regulations
table parameters 5 to 15).
The status of the CEM7 control unit's inputs and outputs can be monitored from
the Main menu1.Inputs/Outputs. From that position, a screen displays the

•• Partial operating hours counter. The control unit records the number
of hours that the genset engine has been operating. The partial

7.7 PROGRAMMING THE GAUGE RESPONSE CURVE
The CEM7 control unit allows the use of nonlinear response gauges for measuring
fuel. To this end, in addition to the response curves of the temperature and
pressure sensors, additional curves can be programmed for the fuel level
sensors with up to 8 configurable points for each user. The first programmable
curve corresponds to the fuel level input (NC) for a nonlinear response. The
second programmable curve permits a gauge for an auxiliary tank at the input
(AnC).
To program these curves from the option MenuParametersSensors, it is
necessary to:
1. There are a maximum of 8 points for each programmable curve.
2. With ohm values for the resistance value of the sensor curve. The resistance
values of the sensor response curve must be entered in descending order, that
is, the first point should correspond to the highest resistance value, the second
point to the second highest resistance value, and so on.
3. To program the response curve, the gauge must be positioned at various
points. For each position, the control unit automatically obtains the sensor
resistance value; the user must program the % filling level of the tank between 0
and 100%.
4. The first programmable fuel curve corresponds to the generator set's main
fuel sensor. This curve is used for gauges with nonlinear responses that need
more than 2 points for programming. If the CEM7 control unit detects a curve
programmed in the first fuel curve, it cancels the parameters corresponding to
the linear calibration of the generator set's main gauge (Measurements table,
parameters 12 and 13 ).
5. The second programmable fuel curve corresponds to the generator set's
auxiliary fuel sensor. If the CEM7 control unit detects a curve programmed in the
second fuel curve, an auxiliary analogue input is assigned to that measurement.

9. APPENDIX I: PARAMETERS TABLE
The CEM7 control unit allows 3 levels of access for settings. To modify any of the
CEM7 control unit's parameters validation is required by entering the correspond-
ing password. The 3 levels of access are:
1. User. Allows level 1 values to be read. (Default password: 1111).
2. Maintenance. Allows level 1 and level 2 parameters to be written. (Default
password: 1911).
3. Supervisor. Allows level 1, 2 and 3 parameters to be written. (Restricted val-
ue, for use only by manufacturer).

12.1 INTRODUCTION
The CAN BUS, is an industrial bus characterized by great strength and reliability
and ensures proper communication between the devices in noisy environments.
Devices with CAN controller can be integrated into an industrial automation and
control system.
The most relevant characteristics of a control system with communication via
CAN bus are as follows:
•• It is possible to connect up to 110 devices on a single CAN network.
•• Each network can reach up to 1000 meters in length, easily
expandable (up to 2000 m) with the use of bridges or repeaters.
•• CAN baud rate of 50 kbits / s (for 1000 metres of bus: 10 ms data
update).
•• Direct access to the CAN bus from a PC via USBCan.
The CANbus can operate in environments with extreme noise and interference,
while the error checking mechanisms ensure that the connections contaminated
by noise are detected.
The CAN bus is designed so that communication will continue even if:
•• Either of the two bus cables breaks.
•• Any cable has short-circuited to ground.
•• Any wire has short-circuited to the power supply.
12.2 TOPOLOGY
The CAN network uses a bus topology, where each node has an input and an
output connection. The end nodes of the bus must have a 120Ω terminator; said
terminator is activated via a switch on each module (ON: active terminator, 1:
inactive terminator). In any case, the existing impedance between the CANH and
CANL lines should be approximately 60 Ω. For this purpose at each end of the
network a resistance value should set such that said impedance is guaranteed
from any module connected.

Fig.1
CAN bus topology
To connect the different nodes to the network an unshielded twisted pair cable is
required. As an exception, inside for the connection between the measurements
and visualization module of the control unit, an untwisted cable can be used.
12.3 WIRING In very noisy environments and with high electromagnetic interference (EMI)
shielded twisted cable can be used with the shield connected to earth of the
The CAN network requires wiring dependent on the distance, baud rate and
installation. Another technique for improving immunity to electromagnetic
number of nodes connected to the bus.
interference is to replace the CAN terminator of the node for two 62Ω resistors
and install a bypass capacitor between the CAN resistance and battery negative.
