Properties. Enter the addresses as shown above. Note: IP address 192.168.11.100 shown above can be used if GENSYS 2.0 IP address is 192.168.11.1 (factory setting). Otherwise, computer and GENSYS 2.0 IP addresses should match the same subnet mask as shown below.
Page 38
Notes on Ethernet connection If you change the IP address of a GENSYS 2.0, you should also adapt Windows hosts file to be able to use the hostname (http://gensys/ or any other hostname of your choice) in your Web browser. Otherwise you will have to directly type the IP address of the GENSYS 2.0 you want to connect to in your Web browser.
5.3.5 Changing GENSYS 2.0 IP address GENSYS 2.0 IP address can be changed in configuration page System/Communication ports config/COM4 (ETHERNET). Note: Once the new IP address is entered, you will need to restart the module for the new settings to take effect.
Depending on its setup (island mode, paralleled with Mains or other generating sets…), GENSYS 2.0 will automatically use the appropriate process: synchronization (if bus bar is live), closing the generating set’s breaker, loading ramp (if bus bar is live). Then it will manage the load depending on the setup (load sharing, fixed kW setpoint…).
(Change over, no break change over, paralleled with Mains…): GENSYS 2.0 will synchronize the generating set (if needed), close the Mains breaker, perform a load ramp… Then it will manage the load depending on the setup : load sharing, fixed kW setpoint…...
This mode allows testing automatic mode behaviour. When [TEST] key is pressed, the engine starts as if there was a remote start, and GENSYS 2.0 will carry out the standard Auto mode sequence. To exit “TEST MODE”, push [AUTO] or [MAN] key.
START button will automatically start the engine. The whole standard starting sequence is performed, and then the engine is let running at nominal speed without any other action from GENSYS 2.0. STOP button will stop the engine without performing any cool down sequence.
The MANUAL mode replaces the ASSISTED MANUAL mode that is not available anymore. In MANUAL mode, it is possible to control the generator with the front panel of the GENSYS 2.0. All steps from engine start to paralleling are controlled by pushing keys.
7 Start sequence During the start sequence protections are inhibited. This concerns all engine protections. When the engine reaches genset ready, the protections are activated. A timer can be added to inhibit protections during the "safety on" delay [E1514]. The timer will start when the genset is ready. Stop E1080 (Nominal Speed ) E1079 (Idle Speed )

Analogue sensors: The analogue oil pressure and water temperature sensors are used before start-up for the preheat and pre- lube checks: the water temperature [E0030]and oil pressure [E0029] must be ABOVE their respective thresholds (E1155 & E1154) for the engine to be allowed to start. The default setting for these thresholds is zero.

Table 11 - Typical basic multi Generator configuration In this mode, CAN bus on COM1 “inter GENSYS 2.0" is used to manage the different units on the same bus. This mode has better reliability and accuracy than equivalent analogue solutions.
Table 12 - Typical basic configuration for GENSYS 2.0 with parallel line modules When GENSYS 2.0 is in analog load sharing mode, the active power sharing is handled via the parallel lines. You have to disconnect the AVR output (H2-H4) and have an external device control the reactive power (CT droop...).
8.5 Multiple generators with static paralleling This mode is useful when you urgently need to start a full plant with multiple generators. The generators will be ready to take load in the shortest possible time. This mode is also very useful when your installation includes high voltage transformers. Starting generators which are paralleled together gives a progressive magnetization without peaks (no transient short-circuit).
One GENSYS 2.0 per generating set. CAN bus must be connected between GENSYS 2.0 units. An "Excitation" output (e.g. exit C1) must be configured on each GENSYS 2.0 unit. Generator breaker must be powered by 24VDC (so as to close without AC).
8.6 Single generator paralleled with mains This function needs OPTION 2 to be installed. 8.6.1 Configuration Figure 25 - Paralleling with mains In permanent mode [E1148] and peak shaving mode [E1153], a mains power measurement is required: internal via L1-L6 inputs (Mains I1, I2, I3), ...
When remote start is on, the generator starts, synchronizes and parallels with the mains, then takes the load (ramps up). Once the mains are unloaded, GENSYS 2.0 opens the mains breaker. (See Figure 26) When remote start is off, the mains takes the load in the same way as the generator did previously. If the generator started for a mains failure, when mains power returns the GENSYS 2.0 synchronizes the load...
Permanent mode When the remote start is on, GENSYS 2.0 starts the generator, synchronizes and parallels with the mains, then ramps up load until it reaches its set point. (See Figure 28 & Figure 29) In base load mode (E1153=2), the generator has a constant load and the mains take the utility load variations.
MASTER 2.0 gives a maximum of 31 generators. Mains paralleling mode is fixed to « No changeover » when a single GENSYS 2.0 is used together with one or more MASTER 2.0. A53 Z0 9 0020 L En Technical documentation...
To allow Power Factor regulation, the "Mains breaker in" (J1) input to GENSYS 2.0 must be connected. Power Factor regulation is not an option. 8.7.1 Interfacing GENSYS 2.0 with GCR Figure 31 - GCR GENSYS 2.0 wiring diagram GCR (39-40) – GENSYS 2.0 (G4-G6): parallel lines (0-3V) to control active power.
8.8 Power Plant paralleled with several mains using MASTER 2.0 or GCR by mains Figure 32 - Power plant paralleling with several mains This application requires additional modules to manage the mains power supply. Additional modules can be MASTER 2.0 (recommended) or GCR (not recommended for a new installation). MASTER 2.0 uses all- digital technology whereas GCR uses analogue load share lines (sometimes called Parallel Lines).
9.3.1 Mounting To secure the GENSYS 2.0 onto the panel, use the special kit provided with the module. The kit contains 4 screws, 2 brackets and 1 mounting tool. Figure 35 – Mounting kit Remove the connectors.
Plug in the connectors. 9.3.2 Earth grounding Earth grounding of the GENSYS 2.0 should be made with two M5 screws & fan washers. Use a short 4mm² cable to connect the unit to earth (see below). Figure 37 - Earth grounding 9.3.3 Wiring guidelines...

10.4 Relay output 10.4.1 Breakers GENSYS 2.0 is equipped with 4 NO relays (at rest) for breaker control: 2 relays to control the generator breaker - one for opening (E4) and one for closing (E5). 2 relays to control the mains breaker - one for opening (E1) and one for closing (E2).
When GENSYS 2.0 tries to open/close a breaker, a maximum is allowed before getting the corresponding feedback from the breaker. This delay is set to 5 seconds (factory) and can be changed by adjusting parameter [E1149] in menu “Configuration/Modification by variable n°”.
Working of pulse or an undervoltage coil For control using a pulse or an undervoltage coil, the necessary parameters are: [E1893]: pulse length. [E1994]: Undervoltage coil delay. This sets the time between the opening of the breaker and the closing of the undervoltage coil control contact.

The set point of the central frequency is the parameter [E1080] (or [E1081] if selected). When the GENSYS 2.0 starts, one genset is elected to be the master (the first one on the bus). The master determines the central frequency and load sharing is without an integral. The other gensets determine the load sharing with an integral, but without using the central frequency.

In case of a generator electrical fault, the generator breaker is opened and the alternator is de-excited (if wired) during a certain time [E1265]. If the fault is still present after this time has elapsed, a hard shutdown occurs. Otherwise GENSYS 2.0 will try to re-synchronize. Associated parameters are listed in the table below.
13.5 GENSYS 2.0 with external automatic start module 13.5.1 Overview This chapter describes how to interface GENSYS 2.0 with an engine featuring its own automatic start module. In this case GENSYS 2.0 internal start sequence must be inhibited. The following diagram shows the main functions of each device: Note: starting from firmware v4.00, GENSYS 2.0 features an easy configuration whereas older firmware...
Case 2: external start module doesn’t feature any “Generating set ready” logic output. GENSYS 2.0 will have to wait for the lower voltage [E1028] and the lower engine speed [E1163] are reached to go in speed stabilization [E1140] then in voltage stabilization [E1141] to consider the generating set is ready.

This chapter describes how to interface the GENSYS 2.0 with the TEM compact from Deutz Engines. The association of the TEM and the GENSYS 2.0 is an excellent solution to parallel a generator set with a Deutz Engine prime mover.
When the protections are locked, thresholds, timers and controls are also locked. 13.11 Scada GENSYS 2.0 communication uses industrial standards. This product is versatile, and can be used with Modbus, for example to be controlled by a SCADA system. CRE Technology offers different solutions for such applications (remote display, remote control, event and alarm management …).
13.12 How to set a GPID 13.12.1 Principle A GPID allows the control of any system in a simple way. Figure 51 shows a typical GPID. Set Point Deviation Measure G: global gain P: proportional gain I: integral gain D: derivative gain Figure 62 - Typical GPID controller The G parameter acts as sensitivity adjustment for the other parameters.
If a digital or virtual digital input of one GENSYS 2.0 is set as priority generator, this GENSYS 2.0 will start first. The next to start will be decided by increasing genset number, which is defined in the power plant overview settings menu.
When all generators are stopped and have "remote start" activated, upon start-up the "Forced running"" generators stay on the bus bar while the others coordinate stopping one by one. Hours run: [2] ; the genset to start/stop will automatically be selected according to the GENSYS 2.0 hour meter.
TM before load Timer for load sharing request. [E1257] Unload thresh. Percentage of the genset nominal power at which GENSYS 2.0 will ask a [E1254] genset to stop sharing the load. TM bef. unload. Timer used before deciding to reduce the number of gensets in [E1255] load/unload management.
Load/unload according to power The goal is to avoid that a large number of parallel generators are running just above the unload threshold. Ex: 4 generators are running at 35% while 2 generators can supply this power with 70% each. In this mode, each unit calculates the power that will remain on the bus bar (in % for each engine remaining) if it decides to stop (and open its breaker).
This function can be configured by CRE Config software. This function is used in Marine applications. Some external parameters must be analysed by the GENSYS 2.0 units before accepting heavy consumer load. If Power Plant can accept load, each GENSYS 2.0 accepts load.
