Operation
Figure 3.2
To edit a generator's data, click on the line containing the generator
in the left hand pane. It's data will now be displayed in the data
entry fields in the right part of the screen. Edit the data as desired
then click on the "Update" button to copy it into the left hand pane,
finally click the "Apply" button to permanently save it.
The generator ID is a number used internally to identify the gen-
erator to which the data applies - it would normally match the
generator's slave address. You cannot alter it as it is assigned
automatically.

MAX KW
This is the maximum power that the generator is capable of pro-
ducing.

MIN KW
This is the minimum power that the generator will supply when in
parallel with the other generators. This should be set to zero.

MAX KVAR
This is the maximum reactive power that the generator is capable
of supplying. Note that this will be at a lagging power factor (the
system will not set a leading power factor).

NOTE:
3.1.7
SLAVE ADDRESS
This is the Modbus slave ID of the generator, and must correspond
to the Modbus ID setting in the corresponding PM-PC control
panel.
Set all the parameters for each genset connected to the system.
3.2 COMMAND SETTINGS
The screen in Figure 3.3 shows the commands for the PM-SC.
Multiple commands can be entered into the PM-SC using the "Add
to list" button, or they can be deleted using the "DELETE" button.
To edit command settings, click on the command line you want to
edit (it will turn blue), then edit the pull down boxes and use the
"Update button" to save the data.
To enter a new command, select the command type from the
command mode box. Enter the start and end times and dates that
apply to that command as well as any excluded days. Note that the
standby command works whenever it is selected, ignoring all date
and time settings. Once all the settings have been entered into the
pull down boxes, click on the "Add to list" button.
