It can clear accumulated running time A and B, accumulated electric energy A and B.

4.4 AUTO START/STOP OPERATION

Press the and the indicator beside it is illuminated, which means the genset is at Auto Start Mode.
Automatic Start Sequence:
1) When remote start (on-load) is active, “start delay” timer is initiated;
2) “Start Delay” countdown will be displayed on genset status page;
3) When start delay is over, preheating relay is energized (if configured), “preheat delay XX s”
information will be displayed on genset status page;
4) After the above delay, the fuel relay is energized, and then one second later, the starting relay is
engaged. During the “start time”, if the genset does not start, then fuel relay and starting relay stops
outputting, and enter “crank rest time”, waiting for next crank;
5) Should the start beyond the set attempts, the controller issues “start failure” and stops the genset
and at the same time alarm page on LCD displays “start failure alarm”;
6) If it starts successfully during the attempts, it enters “safety on time”, and during this period low oil
pressure, high water temperature, under speed and charge alternator failure alarms are all inactive;
After “safety on time”, it enters “start idle delay” (if configured);
7) During “start idle delay”, under speed, under frequency, under voltage alarms are prohibited. When
this delay is over, “warming up delay” is initiated (if configured);
8) When single genset is running and “warming up delay” is over, if generator status is normal, its
indicator will be illuminated. If generator voltage and frequency have reached on-load requirements,
then the generator close relay will be energized; the genset will take load and generator power
indicator will be illuminated, and generator will enter normal running status. If voltage or frequency
is abnormal, the controller will initiate alarm (alarm information will be displayed on LCD);
9) When the genset is running in parallel and warming up delay is over:
a) If bus has no voltage signal, then the controller will issue a close status signal to other gensets
waiting for parallel. Then generator close relay will output, avoiding to close the breaker at the
same time;
b) If bus has voltage or other gensets are already closed, the controller will adjust speed and
voltage through GOV and AVR to synchronize the gensets to the bus; when synchronization
requirements have been achieved, breaker close signal will be initiated and the genset will be
paralleled with the bus. Once they are paralleled, the controller will control the engine to adjust
the throttle and share load with other paralleled gensets.
NOTE: When remote start is applied to start (off load), the procedure is same as the above. However, generator close
relay is deactivated, genset is off load. When remote start (on demand) is applied to start, the genset will start based on
the set priority, and then synchronize, put them in parallel and share the load in the bus automatically.
Automatic Stop Sequence:
1) When the remote start signal is removed, the “stop delay” is initiated;
2) Once this “stop delay” has expired, the controller will ramp the load from the genset to other sets
and issue breaker open signal. The “cooling delay” is then initiated. During this time if the remote start
signal is active again, then the controller enters paralleled status again; When “cooling delay” is over,
the genset enters “stop idle delay”;
3) During “stop idle delay” (if configured), the idle relay is energized;

HGM8510 Genset Parallel Controller User Manual Page 17 of 116

4) “ETS solenoid hold” begins, ETS relay is energized while fuel relay is de-energized, and complete
stop is detected automatically;
5) “Fail to stop delay” begins, and complete stop is detected automatically;
6) When generator stops completely, “after stop delay” will be initiated. Otherwise, “fail to stop” alarm
is initiated and the corresponding alarm information is displayed on LCD. (If generator stops
successfully after “fail to stop” alarm has initiated, “after stop delay” will be initiated and the alarm will
be removed.);
7) Generator is placed into its standby mode after “after stop delay”.

4.5 MANUAL START/STOP OPERATION

1) MANUAL START: Manual mode is selected by pressing the ; a LED beside it will be illuminated to

confirm the operation; then press to start the genset; it can detect crank disconnect condition and

generator accelerates to high-speed running automatically. With high temperature, low oil pressure,
over speed and abnormal voltage during generator running, controller can protect genset to stop
quickly (please refer to No.3~9 of Automatic Start Sequence for detailed procedures).

2) MANUAL STOP: Press and it can shut down the running gensets. (Please refer to No.2~7 of

Automatic Start Sequence for detailed procedures).

4.6 SWITCH CONTROL PROCEDURES

4.6.1 MANUAL CONTROL PROCEDURES

When controller is in Manual mode, the switch control procedures will start through manual transfer
procedures. Users can control close/open via pressing corresponding keys.

Breaker Close Operation: During genset normal running, press if generator voltage and frequency

have reached on-load requirements.

1) When single genset is running, generator closing relay outputs;
2) When gensets are running in parallel,
a) If bus has no voltage signal, then the controller will issue a close status signal to other gensets
waiting for parallel. Then generator close relay will output, avoiding to close the breaker at the
same time;
b) If bus has voltage or other gensets are already closed, the controller will adjust speed and
voltage through GOV and AVR to synchronize the gensets to the bus; when synchronization
requirements have been achieved, breaker close signal will be initiated and the genset will be
paralleled with the bus. Once they are paralleled, the controller will control the generator to
adjust the throttle and share load with other paralleled gensets.

Breaker Open Operation: Press ,

1) When single genset is running, the controller sends open breaker signal.
2) When gensets are running in parallel, the controller shall transfer the load to other gensets and
then issue open signal.

4.6.2 AUTOMATIC CONTROL PROCEDURES

When controller is in Auto mode, the switch is automatically controlled.

Switch control procedure refer to Automatic Start/Stop Control.
NOTE: The auxiliary close input must be configured and make sure the connection is correct.

7.2.2 DEFINED PERIOD OUTPUT

Defined period output is composed by 2 parts, period output S1 and condition output S2.

While S1 and S2 are TRUE synchronously, OUTPUT;

While S1 or S2 is FALSE, NOT OUTPUT.
Period output S1 can set generator’s one or more period output freely, can set the delayed time and
output time after entering period.
Condition output S2 can set as any conditions in output ports.
NOTE: when delay time and output time both are 0 in period output S1, it is TRUE in this period.
For example:
Output period: start
Delay output time: 2s
Output time: 3s
Condition output contents: input port 1 is active
Close when condition output active/inactive: close when active (disconnect when inactive);
Input port 1 active, after enter “starts time” and delay 2s, this defined period output is outputting, after 3s, stop
outputting;
Input port 1 inactive, defined output period is not outputting.

7.2.3 DEFINED COMBINATION OUTPUT

Defined combination output is composed by 3 parts, or condition output S1, or condition output S2,
and condition output S3.

S1 or S2 is TRUE, and S3 is TRUE, defined combination output is outputting;

S1 and S2 are FALSE, or S3 is FALSE, defined combination output is not outputting.
NOTE: S1, S2, S3 can be set as any contents except for “defined combination output” in the output setting.
NOTE: 3 parts of defined combination output (S1, S2, S3) could not include or recursively include themselves.
For example:
Contents of or condition output S1: input port 1 is active;
Close when or condition output S1 is active/inactive: close when active (disconnect when inactive);
Contents of or condition output S2, input port 2 is active;
Close when or condition output S2 is active/inactive: close when active (disconnect when inactive);
Contents of and condition output S3: input port 3 is active;
Close when and condition output S3 is active/inactive: close when active (disconnect when inactive);
When input port 1 active or input port 2 active, if input port 3 is active, defined combination output is outputting; If input
port 3 inactive, defined combination output is not outputting;
When input port 1 inactive and input port 2 inactive, whatever input port 3 is active or not, defined combination output is
not outputting.

0 Gen frequency
1 Speed
2 Speed sensor + Gen frequency
3 Oil pressure
4 Oil pressure + Gen frequency
5 Oil pressure + Speed sensor
6 Oil pressure + Speed sensor + Gen frequency
NOTES:
1) There are 3 conditions to make starter disconnected with engine, that is, speed sensor, generator frequency and
engine oil pressure. They all can be used separately. We recommend that engine oil pressure should be used with speed
sensor and generator frequency together, in order to make the starter motor separated with engine as soon as possible.
2) Speed is the signal collected by magnetic sensor that is the magnetic equipment installed in starter for detecting
flywheel teeth.
3) When speed is selected, users must ensure that the number of flywheel teeth is the same with setting, otherwise,
“over speed stop” or “under speed stop” may be caused.
4) If genset has no magnetic sensor, please do not select corresponding items, otherwise, “start failure” or “loss speed
signal” may be caused.
5) If genset has no oil pressure sensor, please do not select corresponding items.
6) If speed is not selected in crank disconnect setting, the speed displayed on controller is calculated by generating
signals.

8 PARAMETERS SETTING

CAUTION: Please change the controller internal parameters in standby mode (e.g., Start conditions selection,
configurable input, digital output, various delay etc.), otherwise, alarming to stop and other abnormal conditions may
happen.

NOTE: Maximum set value must over minimum set value in case that the condition of too high as well as too low will
happen.

NOTE: When the warning alarm is set, please set the correct return value; otherwise, maybe there is abnormal alarm.
When the maximum value is set, the return value must be less than the set value; when the minimum value is set, the
return value must be over the set value.

NOTE: Please set the generator frequency value as low as possible when the genset is cranking, in order to make the
starter be separated quickly as soon as crank disconnection happens.

NOTE: Digital input could not be set as the same items (except for user-defined); otherwise, there are abnormal
functions. However, the digital output can be set as the same items.

HGM8510 Genset Parallel Controller User Manual Page 91 of 116

9 SENSOR SETTING

1) When sensors are reselected, the sensor curves will be used again. For example, if default
temperature sensor is SGX (120°C resistor type), its sensor curve is SGX (120°C resistor type); if select
the SGH (120°C resistor type), the temperature sensor curve is SGH curve.
2) When there is difference between standard sensor curves and used sensor curves, users can
adjust it in the “sensor curve type”.
3) When the sensor curve is inputted, x value (resistor) must be inputted from small to large,
otherwise, mistake occurs.
4) If sensor type is selected as “none”, sensor curve is not working.
5) If the corresponding sensor has alarm switch only, users must set this sensor as “none”, otherwise,
shutdown or warning may occur.
6) The headmost or backmost values in the vertical coordinates can be set as the same as below.

10 COMMISSIONING

10.1 STEP 1: SINGLE UNIT DEBUGGING

1) Check the parameter configurations of the controller;

2) Check the genset wiring connections and MSC CAN wiring connection between the units. (e.g. if 3
gensets are correctly connected, SYNC screen will display Module Number: 3);
3) In manual mode, check whether engine and generator data are normal;
4) In manual mode check whether switch open and close are normal;
5) In manual mode, after closing the breaker check whether generator frequency can be adjusted to
the rated frequency (e.g. set the rated frequency as 52Hz/48Hz);
6) In manual mode, after closing the breaker check whether generator voltage can be adjusted to the
rated voltage (e.g. set the rated voltage as 240V/220V);
7) Activate manual start on-load, and check whether power factor, active power and reactive power
are normal; if negative value occurs, check phase sequences of generator voltage and current, the
incoming line direction of current transformer, and secondary current dotted terminal of current
transformer;
8) In manual mode do performance tests according to the national standards.
NOTE: Please refer to HGM9500 SYNCHRONIZATION PLAN LIST for more information on GOV and AVR settings.

10.2 STEP 2: NO-LOAD MANUAL PARALLEL

1) Manually close parallel sets, and check whether the parallel synchronization is stable and whether
the close impulse current is too high;
2) After the genset is connected in parallel without load, check whether the current display has very
big loop current;
3) After the genset is connected in parallel without load, observe whether the active power, reactive
power outputs are “0”. If they are not 0, observe whether there is power oscillation; if there is power
oscillation, users can properly modify the gain and stability values, or adjust the engine GOV or
generator AVR gain and stability potentiometer, in order to avoid active and reactive power oscillation
and make output close to 0.

10.3 STEP 3: ON-LOAD MANUAL PARALLEL

1) After the gensets are connected in parallel manually, perform on-load test and check whether
active and reactive power are evenly distributed between all gensets;
2) After the gensets are connected in parallel manually, perform ramp on-load test to see if there is
high overshoot or power oscillation during this period; if have, regulate load slope;
3) After the gensets are connected in parallel manually on-load, perform ramp off-load test to see if
genset breaker opens after reaching minimum set value (%);
4) After the gensets are connected in parallel manually, perform impact load test and damp load test
to check if there is power oscillation.

HGM8510 Genset Parallel Controller User Manual Page 93 of 116

10.4 STEP 4: FULL AUTOMATIC PARALLEL

When the controller is in auto status, if digital input “remote start on-load (on demand)” is active, it will
carry out full automatic parallel, start and stop operation. There are 3 ways of automatic parallel
operation:
1) Start on demand: the module with top priority starts firstly. When load exceeds the pre-set start
maximum percentage, the module with secondary priority will start. Synchronize the gensets and
make them share load. When load is lower than the preset minimum stop percentage, after stop delay
the secondary module breaker will be opened and the module will be cooled down and stopped.
2) Start all sets: all the modules start at the same time; the module that reaches load condition first
will close first; when other modules reach load condition, they synchronize in parallel one by one. After
that, the modules monitor the load. If load value falls below module pre-set shutdown minimum
percentage, the module with lowest priority enters stop delay and then cools down and stops. If load
exceeds the preset start maximum percentage, the gensets that are at rest will all start again.
3) Balanced engine running time: Engine with the low running time B starts first. When genset running
time exceeds other gensets balanced running time B, the genset with the lowest running time starts
(both “start on demand” or “start all sets” modes are possible); after other gensets are synchronized
in parallel, breaker open and shut down are performed automatically. All gensets are circularly started

13 NEL TRIP DESCRIPTION

Non-essential load----NEL is the abbreviation.

The controller can control the NEL1, NEL2 and NEL3 to trip separately. The order of the essentiality is
NEL3 > NEL2 > NEL1.
 Auto Trip
When NEL auto trip is enabled:
If the genset power has exceeded the NEL trip value, after the trip delay, NEL1 will trip first, and then is
NEL2, NEL3;
When NEL auto reconnection is enabled:
If the genset power has fallen below the reconnection set value, after the reconnection delay, NEL3 will
reconnect first, and then is NEL2, NEL1.

Fig.14 NEL Sequence

 Manual Trip
If NEL manual trip input is active (earthed falling edge is active), NEL1 will trip immediately; If NEL
manual trip input is active again, NEL2 will trip; If NEL manual trip input is active for the third time, NEL3
will trip;
If NEL manual reconnection input is active (earthed falling edge is active), NEL3 will reconnect
immediately; If NEL manual reconnection input is active again, NEL2 will reconnect; If NEL manual
reconnection input is active for the third time, NEL1 will reconnect. During this process, the controller
detects the genset power: if the genset power has fallen below the NEL reconnection value, then the
input is active; otherwise, the input is deactivated.
NOTE: When auto trip and auto reconnection are enabled, manual trip is still active.

14 DUMMY LOAD CONNECTION

Dummy load ---- DL for short.

The controller can control the 3 ways of DL connection separately. The order of the essentiality is DL1 >
DL2 > DL3.
 Auto Operation
When DL auto connection is enabled:
If the genset power has fallen below the DL connection value, after the connection delay, DL1 will
connect first, and then is DL2, DL3;
When DL auto disconnection is enabled:
If the genset power has exceeded the DL disconnection value, after the disconnection delay, DL3 will
disconnect first, and then is DL2, DL1.

Fig.15 DL Sequence

 Manual Operation
If manual DL connection input is active (earthed falling edge is active), DL1 will connect without delay; If
manual DL connection input is active again, DL2 will connect; If manual DL connect input is active for
the third time, DL3 will connect. During this process, the controller will detect if the genset power has
fallen the DL connection value or not. If genset power is below DL connection value, this input is active,
otherwise, it will be ignored;
If manual DL disconnection input is active (earthed falling edge is active), DL3 will disconnect
immediately; if manual DL disconnection input is active again, DL2 will disconnect; if manual DL
disconnection input is active for the third time, DL1 will disconnect.
NOTE: When auto connection and auto disconnection are enabled, manual operation is still active.

15 GROUND BREAKER CONTROL DESCRIPTION

This function can be realized via configuring ground breaker of controller output port.
Priority of closing ground breaker: in the closed gensets, the genset with the biggest rated power has
the top priority to close ground breaker. If genset rated power is same, it is chosen based on the
module priority. When the ground breaker of the genset with top priority fails to close, the genset with
next top priority will be chosen. When there is a grounding breaker open fault in the closed gensets, the
other units are prohibited from closing the grounding breaker.
Ground breaker action:
a. Genset stop: ground breaker is opened.
b. Genset is normally running and generator is opened: ground breaker is closed.
c. Genset is normally running and generator is closed: ground breaker is closed when this genset with
the top priority, otherwise, ground breaker is opened.

HGM8510 Genset Parallel Controller User Manual Page 100 of 116

16 PRIORITY RUNNING AND BALANCED RUNNING TIME DESCRIPTION

Different module IDs must be configured for the controller, but the module priority can be same (the
smaller number with the higher priority). Balanced Running Time function is enabled by the controller
“Balance Hours” function. All gensets that need to have balanced running time shall set the same
module priority.
Scheduling running principles:
a. Genset with the higher priority starts firstly and stop lastly.
b. Gensets with the same priority:
If “Balance Hours” function is enabled, the unit with less running time has higher priority, otherwise,
the unit with the smaller module ID has higher priority. User accumulated running time B is chosen for
running time.
c. When “Scheduling Sets Mode” is genset power percentage, if load (%) exceeds pre-set “Scheduling
Start (%)”, the standby genset with highest priority will start; if load (%) falls below pre-set “Scheduling
Start (%)” after one genset stopping, the genset with lowest priority will stop.
d. When “Scheduling Sets Mode” is available power, if bus available power (difference value between
rated power of closed gensets and current loading power) falls below “Scheduling Start (W)”, the
standby genset with highest priority will start; if bus available power exceeds pre-set “Scheduling Start
(W)”, the genset with lowest priority will stop.
e. If “Sets on Bus” is the minimum scheduled sets number, the number of genset on the bus is
prioritized.
f. “Fuel Economy” scheduling function cannot work together with “Balance Hours” scheduling
function. If “Fuel Economy” scheduling is enabled, “Balance Hours” scheduling function will not work.
e.g.: Rated power of genset 1 is 100kW, module ID is 1 and priority is 1; rated power of genset 2 is 100kW, module ID is 2
and priority is 2; rated power of genset 3 is 100kW, module ID is 3 and priority is 2, and genset 2 has the same running
time with genset 3. The three gensets settings are: “Balance Hours” is enabled, and “Balance Hours” is set as 1 hour,
“Scheduling Sets Mode” is genset power percentage and set scheduling start percentage is 80% and scheduling stop
percentage is 50%, “Sets on Bus” number is 1.
Three gensets are in auto mode, and “start on demand” is active, then genset 1 starts and takes load.
Current load is 85kW; genset 1 load percentage is 85%, which is above “Scheduling Start (80%)”. Since genset 2 has the
same running time with genset 3, but genset 2 ID is smaller than genset 3, so genset 2 will start and take load.
After running for 1 hour, current load is 90kW, genset 2 load percentage is 45%, running time of genset 2 is longer than
genset 3, and then genset 3 will start and take load. If it meets “Scheduling Start (%)” condition, genset 2 will ramp-off
load and stop.
Current load is 166kW, start genset load percentage is 83%, which is above “Scheduling Start (80%)”, other gensets will
request to start, and then genset 2 will start and take load.

HGM8510 Genset Parallel Controller User Manual Page 101 of 116

17 FUEL ECONOMY DESCRIPTION

It is enabled by “Fuel Economy” setting of the controller. All sets shall be set as the same fuel economy
parameters, including “Fuel Economy”, “Fuel Economy (%)”, and “Economy Swap (W)”.
Scheduling running principles:
a. First, use the fewest parallel sets if it is possible. If one set is enough to satisfy the running
conditions, do not use two, and so on.
b. Secondly, satisfy fuel economy percentage. The load percentage of the chosen running plan shall
not be bigger than and shall be closest to the fuel economy percentage.
c. It shall be satisfied that the total difference of the two plans’ rated powers shall be bigger than the
exchange power when the better running plan is employed.
d. Start/stop scheduling parameters (scheduling start percentage, scheduling stop percentage,
scheduling start available power, scheduling stop available power, online unit number) shall still work
when the fuel economy is enabled.
e. “Fuel Economy” and “Balance Hours” scheduling cannot be used at the same time. When “Fuel
Economy” is enabled, “Balance Hours” shall not be active.
E.g., the rated power of Genset 1 is 100kW, Genset 2 300kW, Genset 3 500kW. Settings: “Fuel Economy” enabled,
“Economy Swap (W)” 200kW, “Fuel Economy (%)” 50%, “Scheduling Start (%)” 85%, “Scheduling Stop (%)” 50%.
Current load is 0kW and all of them are power-off. Then Genset 1 starts and loads.
Current load is 60kW, and Genset 1 loading percentage is 60%, which is bigger than “Fuel Economy (%)” 50%. Choose the
best running plan Genset 2. Previous plan’s rated power is 100kW and the best plan’s is 300kW, so the exchange power
is not less than 200kW. Genset 2 starts and loads, and Genset 1 unloads and stops.
Current load is 160kW, and Genset 2 loading percentage is 53.3%, which is bigger than “Fuel Economy (%)” 50%. Choose
the best running plan Genset 3 and it satisfies the exchange power. Genset 3 starts and loads, and Genset 2 unloads and
stops.
Current load is 260kW, and Genset 3 loading percentage is 52%, which is bigger than “Fuel Economy (%)” 50%. Then
choose the best plan Genset 1 + Genset 3. Previous plan’s rated power is 500kW and this one is 600kW, so the exchange
power is less than 200kW, genset 3 still takes loads separately.
Current load is 310kW, and Genset 3 loading percentage is 62%, which is bigger than “Fuel Economy (%)” 50%. Then
choose the best plan Genset 2 + Genset 3. Previous plan’s rated power is 500kW and this one is 800kW, which conforms
to the exchange power. Genset 2 starts and loads with Genset 3 together.

HGM8510 Genset Parallel Controller User Manual Page 102 of 116

18 STATIC PARALLEL DESCRIPTION

Static parallel function can be chosen by a digital input port.

It applies to fast parallel occasions. All gensets disconnect generator excitation and close the switch to
start at the same time. After all the generators’ speed is up to the loading speed and meanwhile
excitation signals are issued. At this time, the generator voltage is formed and the genset parallel is
completed. This procedure spares the time used in the normal parallel process when the genset is
waiting for all synchronous conditions are satisfied and then close the switch to start. If the genset
cannot realize the excitation output condition during the “Static Parallel Delay” period, it exits from
“Static Parallel” mode and changes to normal parallel mode. The genset opens the switch and
excitation outputs. After all synchronous conditions are satisfied it closes and starts to work.
This function applies to soft-start loading occasion. For example, when the genset connects to the
transformer.

19 HC REQUEST

Each controller can deal with two HC requests: HC 1 and HC 2, and HC1 > HC 2. The priority of the
controller decides the priority of its HC request. That is HC request of high priority controllers is prior to
response.
When a HC is asking the controller for starting request, the system shall remain the demanded capacity
in the busbar until the system predicts that the capacity left in the busbar satisfies the demand after the
HC starts.

Fig.16 HC Sequence Graph

HC sequence graph description:

a. HC 1 request power 300kW; HC 1 rated power 150kW;
b. Left power 300kW for HC 1 in the busbar; if the current genset cannot meet, the spare genset
starts.
c. There is enough left power in the busbar and “HC Steady Delay” starts.
d. After “HC Steady Delay”, the controller starts to output answer signal.
e. During/after the “Answer Delay”, according to the different status of the feedback and request
signal, the busbar has different resolution for HC 1.
f. If the feedback is valid, the busbar shall not remain power for HC 1.
g. If the feedback is invalid, the busbar only reserves HC 1 rated power when HC request is valid.
h. If the feedback is invalid, the busbar will not reserve any power when HC request is invalid.
