  • Page 31: Configuring The Transducer

    8.4.3 Configuring the Transducer With a transducer connected, the DynaGen 200 can be configured to throttle the engine or motor to maintain a specific transducer level much like a car’s cruise control. If this cruise control feature is desired, the Maintain Transducer Level should be set to Enabled.

  • Page 32: Configuring Start And Stop Delays

    The following figure demonstrates the responsiveness of a system to adjustments in Throttle Aggressiveness. A fast-responding system will need a lower aggressiveness value. Otherwise, the RPMs will overshoot and undershoot the target value as depicted in the graph by the red “Too High” throttle aggressiveness line. Ideally, the RPM should quickly ramp up and home in on a small RPM range to maintain the target value as depicted in the graph by the green “Correct”...

  • Page 33: Ramp Profile

    8.4.5 Ramp Profile The Auto ramp profile allows the use of configurable warm up and cool down profiles to help protect the equipment and other assets such as plumbing, or to ensure proper ramp up and down of pressure or flow. An example is shown below.

  • Page 34: Transducers

    Intermediate Time The time (in seconds) the engine or motor will stay at the Intermediate RPM. The time (in seconds) the engine or motor will take to ramp from the Intermediate RPM Ramp to Run Time to the Run RPM. If the Maintain Transducer Level is enabled, the controller will not ramp to the Run RPM but will start throttling the engine or motor to maintain the level.

Pressing the OFF button for 3 seconds, will cause the engine or motor to immediately shutdown.

  • Page 37: Qr-Assist

    9. QR-Assist™* The DynaGen 200 has built-in QR-Assist technology that dynamically generates a diagnostic QR-Code that is tied to diagnostic trouble codes for the Controller, Engine, VFD, Pump, or Machine. In addition to the trouble code itself, the dynamically generate QR Codes also contain valuable details about the machine at the time the trouble code occurs.

  • Page 38: Configuration Info

    10.3 Saved Configurations The DynaGen 200 can save up to 10 configurations. Any of these configurations can be loaded to be the operational configuration. Changing and importing configurations requires a Tech or Admin level PIN (see the 6.7.4 Elevate Access Level section).
