The fpControl system is intended for the operation, monitoring and control of piston-powered generators. 1.4 Proper use Intended exclusively for use with Fischer Panda generators, the proper use of which arises from the declaration of conformity of the complete machine.
(Control Panel – Generator) Display and Control Element of the fpControl Fig. 2.1.1-1: Control Panel - Generator The fpControl CP-G is the display and control element Power is supplied via the bus cable. Multiple control elements can be installed in a single system.
The fpControl GC-S is suitable for 12 V and 24 V starting systems. The connected actuators are supplied with power via switching outputs with input voltage. Current measurement is single-phase and can be done directly. A voltage sensor is not necessary. Current measurement takes place via an external current sensor.
FP part number 0000306 Circuit board FP1801 2.1.4 fpControl CAN Interface - SAE J1939 (fpControl CI-SAE J1939) The »fpControl CAN Interface - SAE J1939« manages the Fig. 2.1.4-1: fpControl CAN Interface - SAE J1939 communication between the »fpCAN« and an external SAE J1939-CAN-BUS.
(FP CAN BUS 2) 1 x 4-pole Phoenix contact socket Alternative for the external fpCAN (USER CAN BUS) 2.1.4.2 Environmental specifications, physical data of the fpControl CI-SAE J1939 Storage temperature -30 °C – +60 °C Operating temperature -20 °C – +50 °C Supply voltage 12 V or 24 V, automotive (12–13,5 V or 24–28 V)
The measuring range is 65 A per phase. Higher currents can be measured by means of optional external current sensors. Figure: »fpControl Measurement Unit - MM-3« (fpControl MM-3) - Circuit board Figure: »fpControl Measurement Unit - MM-3« (fpControl MM-3) in housing...
2.2.3 Installation of the fpControl - CP-G The fpContol - CP-G is a CAN Bus module. All Fischer Panda CAN bus modules have two RJ45 ports. One for connection to the module on the CAN bus, the second to relay the CAN bus. The last module on the CAN bus must have a terminating resistor in the RJ45 port.
Fig. 2.2-1: fpControl CP-G rear RJ45 Fig. 2.2-2: Connection Diagram 2.3 Operation The fpControl is operated by means of the fpControl CP-G panel. Fig. 2.3-1: fpControl CP-G front with buttons 2.3.1 Switching on the generator Press the "ON/OFF" button to switch on the control Fig.
The “Autostart” also remains active, if the fpControl CP-G is switched off and on again. If a fault should arise when the generator is started or is already operating, it is stopped and the Autostart is set to "off".
