3. Control and operation About the equipment control and operation The iE controllers contain all the functions needed to protect and control different types of equipment and their breaker(s). Controllers Notes The SINGLE genset controllers protect and control a genset, and the genset breaker. SINGLE genset controllers SINGLE genset controllers can optionally include a mains connection with or without a mains breaker.

Controllers Notes system for the power source is installed and approved, according to the applicable Maritime classification societies. The BUS TIE breaker controller protects and controls a bus tie breaker. The power BUS TIE breaker management system manages the busbar sections. Can be used with other controllers in a controllers Power management system.
Controller modes 3.2.1 About the controller mode The iE controllers operate in a controller mode. This mode decides which actions may be taken or how the controller reacts to operational situations. Controller modes: • AUTO - Automatic mode ◦ The controller can automatically start, stop, connect, and disconnect the asset. The operator cannot start a sequence manually, unless the local control setting is enabled for the controller or section.
3.2.2 Change mode You change modes with the Control centre: 1. Push the Control centre button. • The Control centre pop-up is shown on the screen. AUTO MANUAL Switch to dark mode Touch enabled Brightness level • 2. Select the mode required. Operator's manual 4189341416A EN Page 24 of 52...
Asset control 3.3.1 Start the asset Mode Procedure The asset start is typically controlled automatically and the display control is not available. AUTO (Automatic) In a Power management system, if it calculates that more power is required, the controller automatically starts the asset, with the priority order.
3.3.2 Stop the asset Mode Procedure The asset stop is controlled automatically and the display control is not available. AUTO (Automatic) In a Power management system, if it calculates that power is not required, the controller automatically stops the asset, with the priority order. To stop the asset: 1.
Breaker control 3.4.1 Close the breaker Mode Procedure The breaker close is controlled automatically and the display control is not available. AUTO (Automatic) In a Power management system, if it calculates that more power is required, the controller automatically starts the asset and closes the breaker, with the priority order. The asset must be running to close the breaker.
3.4.2 Open the breaker Mode Procedure The breaker open is controlled automatically and the display control is not available. AUTO (Automatic) In a Power management system, if it calculates that power is not required, the controller automatically opens the breaker as part of the asset stop sequence. To open the breaker: MANUAL OPEN...
Alarms 3.5.1 About the alarms The controller alarms prevent unwanted, damaging, or dangerous situations from occurring. The Operator must review all activated alarms for cause and suitable action. Each alarm has an Alarm condition which determines if the alarm is activated. When the Alarm condition is detected (typically, the operating value reaches the Set point), the controller starts the Time delay (t delay During the Time delay the controller checks whether the Alarm condition remains active:...

Logs 3.6.1 About event logs The event log is a historical recorded list of all system and operator events. For example, the acknowledgement of an alarm, or connection of an asset. If an ECU has been configured with Fieldbus, you can additionally view the DM2 event log. The DM2 event logs are retrieved from the engine and the ECU must be powered up to get the information.
