6. Wiring the controller hardware modules 6.1 Introduction 6.1.1 Introduction This chapter describes the wiring for each of the controller hardware modules in detail. Each terminal's wiring is described, with examples. Wiring the CAN bus communication to a genset is also included in this chapter. However, wiring the system communication (including the connection to the display unit) is described in another chapter.
INFO The frame ground terminal must be connected to the cabinet. The controller rack must also be connected to the cabinet, to create a protective earth. CAUTION The frame ground is connected to the power supply terminals through transient voltage suppression diodes (commonly known as transorbs).
0 V DC INFO DEIF recommends that a 2 A slow blow fuse is used for F1 and F2, and that the diodes are rated 50 V or higher. 6.2.4 Relay output wiring The following diagram shows the connection of the relay output to an external relay. For the wiring shown, there is no voltage on the external relay when the controller relay is open.
For future use. INFO Do not try to use these connections for Ethernet communication (for example, over the DEIF network to other controllers, or to a service PC). There will be no communication, since these connections are dedicated to DEIF internal communication.
See Default wiring for controller types, ACM3.1 terminal connections and default wiring for more information about the default wiring for voltage measurements. DANGER! DEIF recommends that you install fuses (2 A rating) on the voltage measurement lines, as close to the busbar as possible. These fuses protect the voltage measurement lines. 6.3.3 Current measurements wiring MORE INFORMATION See Default wiring for controller types, ACM3.1 terminal connections and default wiring for more information about...
INFO Mount each current transformer and connect it to the controller terminals so that each measurement current flows through the controller in the correct direction. Incorrect mounting and wiring will result in incorrect current measurements. See the controller wiring diagrams for the correct mounting direction and wiring. DANGER! Do not connect or disconnect any current transformer (CT) while there is current in the line.
The current will flow through the equipment connected to the normally open terminal when the relay is energised. 230 V AC Contactor Contactor 0 V AC INFO For 230 V AC contactors, DEIF strongly recommends that you use an RC snubber for noise suppression across the contactor.

6.4.3 Digital inputs wiring The digital inputs are bi-directional inputs. This means that wiring to the input and common terminals may be swapped around without affecting their operation. However, all the digital inputs in a group share a common terminal. The digital input common for a module may be either low (connected to 0 V), or high (connected to 12 or 24 V).

For the wiring shown, there is no voltage on the external relay when the controller relay is open.
The active (P) and reactive (Q) load sharing terminals on the GAM3.1 module are reserved for future use for analogue load sharing. 6.7.4 Analogue current or voltage outputs wiring The diagram below shows the connection of an external controller to the DEIF controller's analogue current or voltage output. The I/O configuration determines whether the output is current or voltage.
6.7.5 Pulse width modulation (PWM) output wiring Pulse width modulation (PWM) output is normally used to control a governor. The PWM could also be used as an input for another controller, as shown in the diagram below. Controller PWM output Common INFO The PWM output is galvanically connected to the first analogue output (terminals 12 and 13) on GAM3.1.
12/24 V DC 0 V DC INFO The two analogue inputs on GAM3.1 are galvanically connected. You therefore cannot use the analogue inputs on GAM3.1 in series with each other, for example, if you wanted a backup measurement. If you need two analogue inputs in series, you can use an analogue input on another module in series with an analogue input on GAM3.1, since the modules are galvanically isolated from each other.
