This is an advanced section, used entirely at your own risk. 4.15.2.1 MENU PLC Logic Conditions PLC Logic Actions PLC Logic Counters and Timers configuration In PLC logic, the ladder of logic is made up of a series of rungs.
Page 107: Flags
Edit Configuration – Advanced – PLC Logic 4.15.2.2 FLAGS A flag is set when a condition within the DSE controller is met. For instance, if the module is in Auto Mode an internal flag is set. This flag is exposed as an output source when configuring module outputs and LEDs. In addition to internal flags, a further twenty (20) custom flags are available (named PLC Flag 1-20).
Page 108: Counters
Edit Configuration – Advanced – PLC Logic 4.15.2.4 COUNTERS The PLC logic section contains twenty (20) user counters for use in the ladder. A counter is configured by clicking in the menu bar. The ‘Edit counter limits’ window appears. Click and drag to change the setting, or press keyboard left and right arrow keys to change by small amounts.

SCADA 5 SCADA SCADA stands for Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition and is provided both as a service tool and also as a means of monitoring / controlling the generator set. As a service tool, the SCADA pages is to check the operation of the controller’s inputs and outputs as well as checking the generators operating parameters.
