Glossary

TERM DEFINITION
Accessory A part comes standard with the product. An accessory is optional and provides additional
Part interfaces or functionality.
Active General terms to describe the states for inputs, signals, or outputs that have only two
Inactive states (like true/false or 1/0). For example, a low coolant level switch is either on (active)
or off (inactive). The Ready to Load output is either on (active) or off (inactive).
For events/faults, this term describes the time the PCC generates the event/fault through
the time the event/fault is cleared.
Active-high Some inputs and outputs use voltage differential to distinguish between active and inac-
Active-low tive. If an input or output is active-high, a high voltage differential means the input or out-
put is active, and a low voltage differential means the input or output is inactive. If an in-
put or output is active-low, a low voltage differential means the input or output is active,
and a high voltage differential means the input or output is inactive.
Configurable analog Both terms refer to inputs that can be assigned one of several functions, depending on
input the genset and the application. For example, the same input might generate a fault in
Configurable input one application but enable Battle Short mode in another application. “Configurable input”
refers to discrete inputs (for example, open or closed). “Configurable analog input” refers
to analog inputs (for example, 0−5 VDC).
Configurable analog Both terms refer to outputs that can be controlled by one of several functions, depending
output on the genset and the application. For example, the same output might be controlled by
Configurable output event 1465 (Ready to Load) in one application and by shutdown fault 1433 (Local Emer-
gency Stop) in another application. “Configurable output” refers to discrete outputs (for
example, open or closed). “Configurable analog input” refers to analog outputs (for exam-
ple, 0−5 VDC).
Connection A connection between two devices. A connection might be as simple as one pin-to-pin
connection, or it might require several pins as well as additional components such as re-
lays, fuses, etc. This term also includes some settings that refer to the physical (for ex-
ample, normally-closed vs. normally-open) or electrical (for example, active-high vs. ac-
tive-low) characteristics of the connection.
Connector This term has no meaning if you do not have access to the PCC base board or the back
panel of the Operator Panel.
One or more pins that are in the same housing. Many times, the pins are related by func-
tion (for example, pins that are connected to the engine) or by electrical characteristics
(for example, relay outputs).
This term also refers to the end of a wire or harness that is plugged into the housing.
Event Used to notify the operator or external devices whether or not certain conditions are true.
Fault Each event or fault has two sets of conditions. When the first set of conditions becomes
true, the event or fault becomes active. This might turn on or turn off a light or LED, dis-
play a warning on the PCC, shut down the genset, or so on. When the second set of
conditions becomes true, the event or fault becomes inactive and can be cleared.
The PCC generates a fault when the conditions indicate a more serious problem; the
PCC generates an event only for information purposes.
Genset Generator set
Low-side driver When this output is active, it provides a path to ground.
Mode A term to describe certain states that affect the PCC’s behavior. The PCC is either in a
Mode of operation particular mode or not in a particular mode, and the PCC’s behavior changes accordingly.
Sometimes, the PCC is always in one mode out of a set of two or more modes. For ex-
ample, the PCC is always in one of the modes of operation: Off mode, Auto mode, or
Manual mode.
Mounting The physical placement and installation of the PCC or the Operator Panel.

TERM DEFINITION
Normally-closed Some inputs and outputs use open circuits and short circuits to distinguish between ac-
Normally-open tive and inactive. If an input or output is normally-closed, an open circuit means the input
or output is active, and a short circuit means the input or output is inactive. If an input or
output is normally-open, a short circuit means the input or output is active, and an open
circuit means the input or output is inactive.
Parameter Refers to monitored values or settings in the PCC or the Operator Panel that can be
looked at and, in some cases, adjusted. Some parameters are protected by passwords.
In this manual, italics are used to identify a specific parameter by name.
Pin A specific point on the PCC or the Operator Panel to which it is acceptable to connect a
specific point on an external device. For example, a B+ pin might be connected to the
positive terminal on the battery. It takes more than one pin to connect an external device
to the PCC. For example, it takes B+ and Ground to connect the battery to the PCC.
Depending on the access you have to the controller, you might see a specific pin on the
PCC base board, the terminal at the end of a harness, a wire that runs between the PCC
and the external device, or nothing at all.
Sensor Refers to a device that measures something and reports one of many (or unlimited) val-
ues. For example, an oil pressure sensor reports the current oil pressure.
Sequence of opera- A term used to describe the steps the PCC follows when it starts the genset or when it
tion stops the genset.
Signal A term used for convenience to talk about two or more connections as a single input.
Usually, all of these connections have the same effect on the PCC’s behavior, and it does
not matter which connection is active.
For example, the term “remote start signal” is used frequently. In Auto mode, the PCC
starts the genset when the remote start signal is active. The remote start signal may
come from any of several connections: a switch connected to the remote start pin, the
Operator Panel, a PLC (programmable logic controller) connected on Modbus, InPower,
etc. It is not important between these connections when explaining the way the remote
start signal affects the PCC’s decisions to start and stop the genset. It is only important
whether or not any of them are active.
Switch Refers to a device that measures something and reports one of two states, active or in-
active, about something. For example, a low coolant level switch is active when the cool-
ant level is too low, but the low coolant level switch does not report what the coolant level
really is.
In some cases, this may refer to a physical switch (similar to a light switch) instead.
Trim Refers to the subset of parameters that can be adjusted, as opposed to parameters that
can only be monitored.

WARNING Accidental starting of the generator
set can cause severe personal injury or death.
Refer to InPower User’s Guide for specifics. Prevent accidental starting by disconnecting
the negative (−) cable from the battery terminal.
Circuit Board Removal Safety Precautions

Turn off or remove AC power from the battery char-

ger and then remove the negative (−) battery cable
from the set starting battery. This is to make sure
that the set will not start while working on it and to
avoid circuit board damage, caused by voltage
spikes when removing and replacing circuit board
connectors.

To prevent circuit board damage due to electrostatic

discharge (ESD), a grounding wrist strap must be
worn when handling circuit boards or socket-
mounted IC’s. (The wrist strap does not provide a
direct short to ground, but is typically rated at
approximately 1 megohm to ground.)

Attach the clip to the chassis ground screw in the

control box and place the strap around your wrist
before handling a circuit board.

CAUTION Electrostatic discharge will damage

circuit boards. Always wear a grounding wrist
strap when handling circuit boards or socket-
mounted IC’s. FIGURE 4-1. WRIST STRAP
