9469200994 Rev — Terminals and Connectors All DGC-2020ES terminals and connectors are located on the rear panel. DGC-2020ES terminals consist of a mini-B USB socket and plug-in connectors with spring clamp terminals. Figure 3 illustrates the rear panel terminals. Locator letters in the illustration correspond to the terminal block and connector descriptions in Table 1.
DGC-2020ES terminal groups are described in the following paragraphs. Operating Power The DGC-2020ES operating power input accepts either 12 Vdc or 24 Vdc and tolerates voltage over the range of 6 to 32 Vdc. Operating power must be of the correct polarity. Although reverse polarity will not cause damage, the DGC-2020ES will not operate.
The DGC-2020ES has sensing inputs for A-phase, B-phase, and C-phase generator current. A DGC- 2020ES with a style number of 1xx has a 1 Aac nominal current sensing and a DGC-2020ES with a style number of 5xx indicates 5 Aac nominal current sensing. Generator current sensing terminals are listed in Table 3.
C-phase bus voltage sensing input Installation in an Ungrounded System Application When the DGC-2020ES is controlling equipment that is part of an ungrounded system, it is recommended that potential transformers be employed on the voltage sensing inputs to provide full isolation between the DGC-2020ES and monitored voltage phases.
A mini-B USB socket enables local communication with a PC running BESTCOMSPlus software. The DGC-2020ES is connected to a PC using a standard USB cable equipped with a type A plug on one end (PC termination) and a mini-B plug on the other end (DGC-2020ES termination).
Remote Display Panel. Twisted-pair conductors are recommended for connecting the communication terminals of the DGC-2020ES and Remote Display Panel. Communication may become unreliable if the connection wires exceed 1,219 m (4,000 ft). Table 12 lists the DGC-2020ES terminals that connect to the Remote Display Panel.
9469200994 Rev — Typical Connections Typical connection diagrams are provided in this chapter as a guide when wiring the DGC-2020ES for communication, mechanical senders, contact inputs and outputs, sensing, and control power. Connections for Typical Applications Typical connections for applications using three-phase wye, three-phase delta, single-phase AB, and single-phase AC generator voltage sensing are shown on the following pages.

120 ohm, ½ watt terminating resistor should be installed across terminals 14 (CANL) and 13 (CANH). If the DGC-2020ES is not providing one end of the J1939 bus, the stub connecting the DGC-2020ES to the bus should not exceed 914 mm (3 ft) in length.
2020ES. It is a remote auxiliary device that provides additional contact inputs and outputs for the DGC- 2020ES. This module interfaces to the DGC-2020ES via CAN, thus the CAN terminals are the only common connections (Figure 10) between the DGC-2020ES and CEM-2020. Refer to the CEM-2020 chapter for more information.
9469200994 Rev — Power Input Control power for the DGC-2020ES is typically supplied by the genset starter battery. Power from the battery is supplied to an internal power supply that provides power for DGC-2020ES logic, protection, and control functions. Nominal Voltage Input and Acceptable Range of Input Voltage A nominal voltage of 12 or 24 Vdc within a range of 6 to 32 Vdc is accepted.

The DGC-2020ES has sensing inputs for A-phase, B-phase, and C-phase generator current. Depending on the style number, a DGC-2020ES has a nominal sensing current rating of 1 Aac or 5 Aac. A style number of 1xx indicates 1 Aac nominal current sensing and a style number of 5xx indicates 5 Aac nominal current sensing.

9469200994 Rev — Note Unused current sensing inputs should be shorted to minimize noise pickup. Caution Generator current sensing terminals 37 (IA–), 35 (IB–), and 33 (IC–) must be terminated to ground for proper operation. Voltage and Current Sensing DGC-2020ES...
Terminals Magnetic pickup connections are provided at terminals 31 (+) and 32 (–). Generator Sensing Voltage The generator voltage sensed by the DGC-2020ES is used to measure frequency and can be used to measure machine speed. Terminals Sensing voltage is applied to terminals 45 (A-phase), 43 (B-phase).
