SECTION 3 • FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION INTRODUCTION This section describes how the DVR2000E functions and explains its operating features. To ease understanding, DVR2000E functions are illustrated in the block diagram of Figure 3-1. A detailed description of each function block is provided in the paragraphs under the heading of DVR2000E Function Blocks. DVR2000E operating features include four operating modes, four protective functions, startup provisions, reactive droop compensation, underfrequency compensation, and an auxiliary analog input.
Generator Voltage Generator voltage is monitored at terminals E1 (A-phase), E2 (B-phase), and E3 (C-phase). Nominal voltages of up to 600Vac may be sensed at these terminals. Voltage applied to these inputs is scaled and conditioned before being applied to the input of the ADC. The voltage signal from phase C and A (V ) of the generator is used by the ADC to calculate the rms value of generator voltage across phases C and A.
Raise Closing a contact across terminals 6U and 7 causes the active operating setpoint to increase. This function is active as long as the contact is closed. Lower Closing a contact across terminals 6D and 7 causes the active operating setpoint to decrease. This function is active as long as the contact is closed.
Front Panel Switches Changes to settings can be made at the front panel using the three pushbutton switches. These push-buttons are labeled Select, Up, and Down. Section 2, Human-Machine Interface provides more in-formation about the front panel switches. Relay Output A common alarm output contact is provided through terminals AL1 and AL2.
PU V/Hz curve, the Underfrequency Active indicator flashes on the front panel and in MARATHON-DVR2000E-32. The knee frequency is adjustable from 40 to 65 hertz and the PU V/Hz curve may be set to a slope from 1 to 3 in increments of 0.01 through the Windows® or Palm OS® communication software.
Overexcitation Shutdown (Field Voltage) This function is enabled or disabled through MARATHON-DVR2000E-32 software. When enabled, if field voltage exceeds the setpoint (80 Vdc default), the Overexcitation Shutdown indicator flashes on the front panel and in the Windows® or Palm OS® communication software, the relay output closes after 15 seconds and the DVR2000E shuts down.
Crowbar Shutdown The Crowbar Shutdown Circuit protects the generator rotor from overcurrent damage resulting from a shorted DVR2000E power switch. During operation, if the field voltage exceeds the setpoint and the power stage receives no gating pulses for 1.5 seconds, the Crowbar Circuit activates and places a short-circuit across the DVR2000E input power terminals.

System Configuration Screen Initial Adjustments CAUTION Read and understand the operation of the individual adjustments before attempting any initial adjustments. Before starting the generator, the procedures in the following paragraphs should be performed.
Establishing Communication Communication between MARATHON-DVR2000E-32 and the DVR2000E must be established before viewing metering values or reading or changing settings. MARATHON-DVR2000E-32 screen settings are updated only after communication is opened or the communication settings have been changed. Open the DVR2000E communication port by clicking on Communications on the menu bar, hovering the mouse pointer over Open Comm Port, and clicking RS-232 Port.
Figure 5-6. Communication Initialization Screen NOTE MARATHON-DVR2000E-32 may display the dialog box of Figure 5-7 when initializing DVR2000E communication, obtaining DVR2000E configuration settings or performing other tasks. It’s important to wait until the box disappears before trying to execute communication commands. Issuing commands while the Wait dialog box is present may disrupt communication between MARATHON-DVR2000E-32 and the DVR2000E.
When communication is enabled, setting changes are saved to EEPROM by clicking the EEPROM button. The opportunity to save settings to EEPROM is also given through a dialog box when exiting MARATHON-DVR2000E- 32 or closing communication.
Generator PT Ratio. The ratio of the generator sensing transformer is entered in this setting field. This ratio allows the voltage displayed through MARATHON-DVR2000E-32 to match the actual generator output voltage. A ratio of 1 to 150 may be entered in increments of 0.01.

The soft-start time can be set from 1 to 120 seconds in 1 second increments. ection Underfrequency Setting - Corner Frequency (Hz).
Table 5-1. A setting of 21 enables the entry of custom stability settings through the MARATHON-DVR2000E-32 PID window. Information about the PID window is provided later under the heading of PID Window. When the Stability Range is set at 21, the PID button may be selected to access the PID window. A Stability Range setting of 1 through 7 disables the PID button and prevents access to the PID window.
Page 51
Figure 5-12. Control Gain Screen AVR/FCR - Integral Gain KI. This setting selects the integral constant (KI) stability parameter. The DVR2000E supplies a value that is equivalent to KI multiplied by the integral of the error between the voltage setpoint and the actual generator output voltage.
Tab Enabled AVR, PF AVR, VAR Control mode and operating status selections are made at the Operation tab of the MARATHON-DVR2000E-32 Metering screen and are discussed later in this section. AVR Tab Figure 5-13 illustrates the settings, sensing values, and alarm signal indicators of the AVR tab. The settings of the AVR tab make it possible to increment and decrement the AVR setpoint of the DVR2000E.
Page 53
The setpoint value currently set in the unit by any of the above methods is displayed in the current setpoint textbox. To return to the nominal setting the button adjacent to AVR Setpoint (V) (Nominal) should be pressed. If the AVR analysis screen is left without returning to nominal setpoint, a message box (Figure 5-14) is shown which allows the user to return to nominal setpoint by pressing YES or remain at the current setpoint by pressing NO.

the Regulator Sensing Voltage setting plus/minus the Band setting. For example, a Regulator Sensing Voltage setting of 100 volts and a Band setting of 10 percent allows the Fine Adjustment function to increase the voltage setpoint to a maximum of 110 volts and decrease the voltage setpoint to a minimum of 90 volts. For VAR, PF or FCR modes, the Raise and Lower buttons allow fine adjustment over the entire adjustment range.
MARATHON-DVR2000E-32 automatically calculates PID values after the user selects the generator frequency, generator time constant (T’do), and exciter time constant (Texc). With MARATHON-DVR2000E-32, the user may generate new PID numbers, add to a PID list file, and update the AVR gain settings.
Saving DVR2000E settings to a file for uploading to other DVR2000E units saves setup time when configuring multiple units to the same configuration. A settings file can also be created in MARATHON-DVR2000E-32 without being connected to a DVR2000E. The settings of the desired screens can be changed and these settings can then be saved to a file.
DVR2000E settings files are automatically given a .de1 extension by MARATHON-DVR2000E-32. Uploading Settings Files A DVR2000E settings file downloaded from a DVR2000E or created within MARATHON-DVR2000E-32 can be uploaded to multiple DVR2000E units. Only a DVR2000E settings file with a .de1 extension can be uploaded to a DVR2000E unit.
DVR2000E settings. The DVR2000E is delivered with a default password of dvr. Changing the password provides security against unauthorized changes to settings. Once changed, the password should be stored in a secure location. If the user-defined password is lost or forgotten, MARATHON-DVR2000E-32 must be reloaded to restore the default password.
The process of updating the embedded firmware can be started by clicking DVR2000ELoad on the menu bar and clicking Uploading Embedded Software. A warning window, Figure 5-28, will be displayed. The DVR 2000E should be disconnected from the generator and bus before continuing with this procedure and the current settings file should be backed up since uploading may replace some settings with defaults.
