CONNECTING CTs:
Be sure of connecting each CT to the related phase input with the correct polarity. Mixing CTs between
phases will cause faulty power and pf readings.
Many combinations of incorrect CTs connections are possible, so check both order of CTs and their
polarity. Reactive power measurement is affected by incorrect CTs connection in similar way as active
power measurement.
CORRECT CT CONNECTIONS
Lets suppose that the genset is loaded with 100 kW on each phase. The load Power Factor (PF) is 1.
Measured values are as follows:
kW kVAr kVA pf
Phase L1 100.0 0.0 100 1.00
Phase L2 100.0 0.0 100 1.00
Phase L3 100.0 0.0 100 1.00
Total 300.0 0.0 300 1.00

D-500 User Manual Rev_06 Firmware V-5.8
The generator is still loaded with 100 kW On each phase. The load Power Factor (PF) is 1.
PF in phase L2 will show -1,00 due to reverse CT polarity. The result is that total generator power
displayed by the controller is 100 kW.
Measured values are as follows:
kW kVAr kVA pf
Phase L1 100.0 0.0 100 1.00
Phase L2 -100.0 0.0 100 -1.00
Phase L3 100.0 0.0 100 1.00
Total 100.0 0.0 300 0.33
The generator is still loaded with 100 kW on each phase. The load Power Factor (PF) is 1.
PF in phases L2 and L3 will show -0,50 due to phase shift between voltages and currents which is
caused by CT swapping. The result is that total generator power displayed by controller is 0 kW.
Measured values are as follows:
kW kVAr kVA pf
Phase L1 100.0 0.0 100 1.00
Phase L2 -50.0 86.6 100 -0.50
Phase L3 -50.0 -86.6 100 -0.50

D-500 User Manual Rev_06 Firmware V-5.8
When the Engine Controller functionality is selected, genset electrical measurements and protections will
be disabled. The unit is supposed to control an engine without alternator.
When the Engine Control Mode is activated:
-the unit will not display genset AC parameters (volts, amps, kW and pf).
-genset voltage and frequency protections are disabled. However engine rpm protections will be
active.
Note that the engine controller functionality is compatible with both AMF and Remote Start modes.
When AMF and Engine controller modes are selected, the unit will monitor the mains and will run the
engine upon mains failure. This functionality is useful for the backup electric motor driven systems during
mains failures, like fire pump or irrigation systems.
When Remote Start and Engine controller modes are selected, the unit will start and stop the engine with
external signal only.
The unit features both MPU and J1939 CANBUS inputs. Thus both mechanical and electronic engines
are supported.

D-500 User Manual Rev_06 Firmware V-5.8
The unit is able to become the remote display and control panel of another identical module.
The connection between two modules is done through RS-485 ports. For the best results, a 120 ohms
balanced, low capacitance cable should be used.
The data rate between modules is selectable between 2400 and 115200 bauds.
A high data rate offers better synchronization between modules, but the distance will be limited.
Typically at 115200 bauds and with adequate cable, the distance will be 200m maximum.
At 9600 bauds and adequate cable the distance can go up to 1200m.
Below settings are necessary:
The standard unit is also 400Hz enabled. The nominal frequency setting accepts up to 500Hz. Usual low
and high limits will apply without any special setting.
The measurement system of the unit allows frequencies up to 1000Hz to be measured precisely.
However the display is limited to 650Hz. Frequencies over 650Hz will be displayed as 650Hz.
The bandwidth of the harmonic analyzer is limited to 1800Hz. Thus in case of a 400Hz system, only the
3rd harmonic will be displayed.
The waveform display of a 400Hz signal will be represented with 10 points. It will not be as accurate as
50/60Hz signals.
For more details please read chapter: Waveform Display & Harmonic Analysis.

D-500 User Manual Rev_06 Firmware V-5.8
The unit features waveform display together with a precision harmonic analyzer for both mains and
genset voltages and currents. Both phase to neutral and phase to phase voltages are available for
analysis, thus 18 channels in total are possible.
Scopemeter Display
The waveform display memory is of 100 samples length and 13 bit resolution, with a sampling rate of
4096 s/s. Thus one cycle of a a 50Hz signal is represented with 82 points. The vertical scale is
automatically adjusted in order to avoid clipping of the signal.
The waveform is displayed on the device screen, and with more resolution on PC screen through the
RainbowPlus program.
The display memory is also available in the Modbus register area for third party applications. For more
details please check chapter MODBUS Communications.
The waveform display is updated twice a second. All channels may be scrolled using buttons.
K35D05-EN - 59 -
D-500 User Manual Rev_06 Firmware V-5.8
The harmonic analyzer consists on a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm which is run twice a second
on the selected channel.
The sample memory is 1024 samples length and 13 bits resolution with a sampling rate of 4096 s/s.
The theory says that a periodic signal may have only odd multiples of the main frequency. Thus in a 50Hz
network, harmonics will be found only at 150, 250, 350, 450 Hz etc...
The unit is able to analyze up to 1800Hz and up to 31th harmonic, whichever is smaller. Thus in a 50Hz
system all 31 harmonics will be displayed, but in a 60Hz system only 29 harmonics will come to the
screen.
In case of a 400Hz system, only the 3rd harmonic will be displayed.
Harmonic are represented by 2 different ways on the device display. The first one is a graphical
representation allowing one sight perception of the harmonic structure. Because of the display resolution,
only harmonics above 2% are displayed.
The second display is alphanumeric, thus all harmonics are displayed with 0.1% resolution in order to
provide more detailed information.
On RainbowPlus program, harmonics and waveform are displayed on a single screen with more
resolution.

These counters are kept in a non-volatile memory and are not affected from power failures.
The quantity of the fuel filled in the tank is read from pulses generated by a flowmeter installed at the tank
filling hose. Flowmeter pulse outputs will be connected to the MPU input of the controller. The controller
will count pulses and convert them in liters (or gallons) then increment the fuel filling counter by the
calculated amount.
The fuel filling counter is visible through Scada and Central Monitoring. Thus the genset operator can
confirm fuel invoices with the real amount of fuel filled in the tank, preventing corruption.

The unit is capable to display the actual fuel consumption of the engine by two different ways:
Through J1939 fuel consumption information
By counting fuel consumption pulses.
If the engine is sending the fuel rate through J1939 messaging, then the unit will directly display the fuel
consumption information coming from the ECU.
If a flowmeter is installed at the fuel suction hose of the engine, then the unit is also capable of counting
these pulses, calculating and displaying the fuel consumption.

In order to insure fast and reliable crank cutting, the unit uses various resources for engine running
condition detection.
Cranking is stopped when at least one of below conditions is met:
- Crank timer expired:
The crank timer is adjusted through Engine Parameters > Crank Timer. The maximum allowed
timer is 15 seconds.
- Genset AC voltage over threshold:
If the genset phase L1 AC voltage reaches Engine Parameters > Crank Cut Voltage, then
cranking is immediately stopped.
- Genset frequency over threshold:
If the genset phase L1 frequency reaches Engine Parameters > Crank Cut Frequency, then
cranking is immediately stopped.
- Genset rpm over threshold:
If the genset rpm reaches Engine Parameters > Crank Cut RPM, then cranking is immediately
stopped.
- Charge alternator voltage over threshold
Following setting is necessary: Engine Parameters > Charge Input Connected = 1
If the charge alternator voltage reaches Engine Parameters > Crank Cut Charge Voltage, then
cranking is immediately stopped.
- Oil pressure above threshold
Following setting is necessary: Engine Parameters > Crank Cut with Oil Pressure = 1
The crank cutting with oil pressure offers a programmable delay through Engine Parameters >
Crank Cut with Oil Pressure Delay. The parameter is factory set to 2 seconds.
Both low oil pressure switch and oil pressure sender readings may be used for crank cutting. The
oil pressure switch is always used. The sender may be disabled through Controller

D-500 User Manual Rev_06 Firmware V-5.8
The unit offers a programmable IDMT protection function in order to protect the alternator against
excessive currents.
The IDMT (Inverse Definite Minimum Time) protection function has such tripping characteristics that the
tripping time varies inversely with the value of current. Beyond a certain current limit the tripping time
becomes constant (definite) and causes tripping in minimum time.
The tripping formula is defined as below:
Where:
TMS is the IDMT time multiplier setting. This is also the tripping time at 100% overload.
I is the current of the most loaded phase
Iset is the programmed overcurrent limit
t is the tripping time in seconds
Currents below the overcurrent limit are allowed to flow for unlimited time. Currents above the limit will
cause the IDMT protection to trigger with a delay depending on the strength of the overcurrent. Higher the
current, faster the protection will trip.
When a non-tripping overcurrent condition occurs, the unit will keep trace of it. In case of a consecutive
overcurrent, the controller will take into account the residual heat caused by the previous overcurrent and
will trip faster than usual.
The IDMT multiplier adjusts the sensitivity of the IDMT detector. When the multiplier is low, then tripping
will be faster for the same current.
The unit provides separate Overcurrent limits for primary, secondary and tertiary volt/speed/amp settings.
Switching from primary volt/freq/amps to secondary or tertiary values will also switch the IDMT detector to
the secondary/tertiary setting.
The action of the tripping may be selected as a Loaddump (stop after cooldown) or shutdown alarm
(immediate stop).

The unit offers a special J1939 port in order to communicate with electronic engines controlled by an ECU
(electronic control unit). The J1939 port consists of 2 terminals which are J1939+ and J1939-.
The connection between the unit and the engine should be made with an appropriate balanced 120 ohms
low capacitance coaxial cable. The external conductor should be grounded at one end only.
A 120 ohms termination resistor is installed inside the unit. Please do not connect external resistor.
The J1939 port is activated by setting the program parameter J1939 Enable to 1. The J1939 Engine
Type parameter should be set accordingly. The list of available engines is given at the programming
section. Please contact DATAKOM for the most current list of engines.
If the J1939 port is enabled then the oil pressure, coolant temperature and the engine rpm information
are picked up from the ECU unit. If connected, the MPU unit and related analog senders are discarded.
The controller is able to read and display all below parameters, under condition that the engine sends
these information. Most engines send only some of them. If the engine does not send a parameter, the
unit will simply skip it. Thus only available information are displayed.
The complete list of J1939 display parameters is below:

The J1939 measurements are also available for Modbus operation. Please check chapter Modbus
Communications for more details.
When the fuel output is active, if no information is received from the ECU during last 3 seconds, then the
unit will give a ECU FAIL alarm and stop the engine. This feature prevents uncontrolled engine operation.
The fault conditions of an electronic engine are considered by the unit as warnings and do not cause
engine stop. The engine is supposed protected by the ECU which will stop it when necessary.

The GPS location determination is based on signals transmitted by GPS satellites circulating in earths
orbit. 24 satellites are available in total, but the number of satellites in sight will depend on the physical
location and time.
A minimum of 3 satellites are necessary to determine the location. A fourth satellite is used for
verification. More satellites will mean more precision. The unit displays the number of effective satellites
on its GPS screen.
GPS satellites transmit a precision date and time information as well. This information is displayed on the
GPS Screen, but not used elsewhere.
The location determination quality of the GPS module will depend on the physical location. The GPS
should be installed in a location where it is capable of seeing a large portion of open sky. It can also work
on reflections from ground or other buildings without seeing the sky, but location precision will affected by
this.
Geographical location is stored in a non-volatile memory once an hour. Thus if the GPS signal is lost, the
unit continues to appear at the same location of the remote monitoring system. However a GPS warning
will be generated on loss of signal or communication with the module.
It is possible to program the geographical location inside the controller, forcing it to appear at the desired
location of the remote monitoring system. The location setting is done through Rainbow Plus only.
Location parameters are found under: Communication>Basic tab

Year 2011
The unit will record data in a directory named with the first 11 characters of its site-id parameter. In order
to avoid confusion between records, it is highly recommended to configure the site-id parameter
accordingly to the genset installation place. Thus the same memory module may be used for recording in
different controllers,
Inside the <SITE-ID> directory, the unit will open a separate directory for each year of recording. The
directory will be simply named by the year, like 2012, 2013 etc...
Inside the year directory, the controller will record data in a different file for each day of recording. The
record file will be named YYYYMMDD like 20120331 representing March 31, 2012. Thus alphabetical
listing will produce a sorted list by date of recording.
The recorded file is of CSV (comma separated values) type. This is a text file which can be directly
opened with Microsoft Excel program without any loss of information. It can be also opened with any text
editor (like Notepad program).
Inside the file, each record consists of a line including a large set of measured parameters. The recorded
parameters list is not adjustable. The controller records all practically necessary parameters.

The controller offers an automatic charge cycle for the engine battery.
When the engine battery weakens, the genset will run automatically during programmed period in an
unloaded state in order to charge the engine battery, protecting it from total discharge when the genset
has not run for a long time.
Related parameters:
Battery Charge Run Voltage: If this parameter is different from zero and the engine battery voltage falls
below this limit then the controller will run the engine unloaded, in order to charge engine battery. The
running duration is determined by the Battery Charge Run Timer parameter.
Battery Charge Run Timer: This parameter determines the engine battery charge running duration. The
minimum run time is 2 minutes.
Emergency Backup: If this parameter if activated and the mains fails during engine battery charging run,
then the genset will take the load.

When necessary, the controller may be manually reset by holding the STOP button pressed for 30
seconds.
The manual reset will cause the hardware to be configured following new settings.
It is advised to proceed to a manual reset or power off/on cycle after every hardware configuration
modification.
The controller offers the capability of automatically determining the connection topology and setting the
voltage checks in accordance.
Related parameters are:
If this parameter is enabled, when the
engine runs, the controller will detect
Automatic Topology the connection topology automatically
- 0 1 0
Detection and will select alarm levels accordingly.
0: auto detect not enabled
1: auto detect enabled
If the automatic topology determination is activated by program parameter, when the engine runs, the
connection topology is tested to be one of below ones during holdoff timer period.
If below voltage conditions are met continuously during 3 seconds, then the topology is considered to be
determined.
If the topology cannot be determined during holdoff timer duration, then an Unknown Topology
loaddump is generated, and the engine stops after cooldown.
This feature is especially useful for manual voltage adjustment after a new topology selection.

The controller wakes-up on applying the power through the wake-up pushbutton. Then it will
immediately activate the zero power output which will cause the zero power relay to feed the controller.
If the engine is not run, or if the engine stops, a timer of 5 minutes will be counted. At the expiration of the
counter, the controller will deenergize the zero power relay which will cut the power supply. The controller
will wait in a zero-power state until the wake-up pushbutton is depressed again.

The unit offers the possibility of MODBUS communication through below carriers:
-RS485 serial port, with adjustable baud rate between 2400 and 115200 bauds
-MODBUS-TCP/IP through Ethernet port (10/100Mb)
-MODBUS-TCP/IP through GPRS (85/42kb), client mode through Rainbow Scada only
Each register consists of 2 bytes (16 bits). A larger data structure will contain multiple registers.
The Modbus communications requires a slave address to be assigned to each device in the Modbus
network. This address ranges between 1 and 240 and allows the addressing of different slave devices in
the same network.

D-500 User Manual Rev_06 Firmware V-5.8
The complete RS-485 port specifications are found in the D-500/700 User Manual.
Selecting a higher baud rate will allow faster communication, but will reduce the communication distance.
Selecting a lower baud rate will increase the communication distance, but will cause slower response
times.
Typically 9600 bauds will allow 1200m distance with special balanced 120 ohms cable.
Modbus Slave Address: may be set between 1 and 240. If only one unit is available in the same IP
address, it is advised to keep the default address (1).
