DESCRIPTION
DGC-2000 Digital Genset Controllers use microprocessor based technology to provide integrated engine-
generator set control, protection, and metering in a single package. Microprocessor based technology
allows for exact measurement, set point adjustment, and timing functions. The DGC-2000 allows for quick
and simple operation from the front panel or through serial link communications. Communications uses
the Modbus protocol or optional custom Basler Electric software. Because of the low sensing burden in
the DGC-2000, neither dedicated potential transformers nor current transformers are required. A wide
temperature range LCD display with backlighting allows the display to be viewed under any ambient light
condition. This combination of features in the DGC-2000 yields significant savings in installation and
setup costs.

DGC-2000 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION 3-1

INPUTS
There are seven types of inputs to the DGC-2000 Controller. They are:
• Operating (Battery) DC Power
• Contact Sensing
• Sending Units
• Speed Signals
• Voltage Sensing
• Current Sensing
• Serial Communications RS-232 Port
The following paragraphs describe these inputs.
Battery Operating Voltage

Required operating voltage is a nominal 12 or 24 Vdc. Operating voltage may be in the range of 8 to 32
Vdc. An internal switching power supply uses the battery voltage to generate a +12 Vdc, -12 Vdc, +5 Vdc,
a stable +5 Vdc reference, and an isolated +5 Vdc. The isolated +5 Vdc supply is for the RS-232 serial
communications port. The dc reference voltage is for internal use.
Battery operating voltage is conditioned (filtered and reduced to a level suitable for microprocessor input)
and sensed by the microprocessor.
Contact Sensing Inputs

Five external contact sensing inputs (Emergency Stop, Air Damper, Automatic Transfer Switch, Charger
Failure, and Low Coolant Level) provide external stimulus to the DGC-2000 Controller. Nominal
voltage(s) of the external dc source(s) must fall within the DC power supply input voltage range.
Emergency Stop
This input is continuously monitored. An open circuit indicates an Emergency Stop. Opening this circuit
removes power from all output relays.
Air Damper
This input is continuously monitored by the microprocessor and is used to indicate the position of the air
damper. An open circuit indicates an open air damper.
WARNING
If the air damper is functional, an auxiliary contact from the Emergency Stop switch must
be used to trip the air damper solenoid.
Automatic Transfer Switch

This input is continuously monitored by the microprocessor and is used to start the engine when in the
auto mode. A closed contact initiates the start sequence.
Charger Failure
This input is continuously monitored by the microprocessor and is used to indicate that ac power is
available to the battery charger. An open circuit indicates a failure of the battery charger.
Low Coolant Level

This input is continuously monitored by the microprocessor. When battery (-) potential is connected to this
input, a low coolant level is indicated.
3-2 DGC-2000 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

Sending Unit Inputs
Coolant temperature
A current of less than two milliamperes is provided to the coolant temperature sending unit. The
developed voltage is measured and scaled for use by the internal circuitry.
Oil Pressure
A current of less than 15 milliamperes is provided to the oil pressure sending unit. The developed voltage
is measured and scaled for use by the internal circuitry.
Fuel level
A current of less than 15 milliamperes is provided to the fuel level sending unit. The developed voltage is
measured and scaled for use by the internal circuitry.
Speed Signal Inputs
Magnetic Pickup
The voltage from the magnetic pickup is scaled and conditioned for use by the internal circuitry as a speed
signal source.
Alternator Sensing
The voltage from the engine alternator stator is scaled and conditioned for use by the internal circuitry as a
speed signal source.
Voltage Inputs
Monitored generator and bus voltages are sensed and scaled to levels suitable for use by the internal
circuitry. Differential amplifiers provide isolation for these inputs. Internal solid state switches select
line-to-line, line-to-neutral or single-phase values. Menu selections by the user determine these switch
settings.
Current Inputs
Monitored generator currents are sensed and scaled to values suitable for use by the internal circuitry.
Internal current transformers provide isolation. Two taps on the primary of these transformers
accommodate either one or five ampere circuits.
Serial Communications Input

This serial communications link connects via optically isolated circuitry to the microprocessor. Enhanced
access to device functions and real time, remote metering capabilities are available through this port. The
DGC 2000 emulates a subset of the Modicon 984 programmable controller. Basler Electric custom
software provides easy access to these functions.
MICROPROCESSOR
Software programmed in the erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM) controls the overall
functionality of the device and makes all decisions based on programming and system inputs. Formulas
that are used to determine the various calculated quantities and circuits related to microprocessor inputs
are described in the follow paragraphs.
Formulas
Formulas used in calculating the various quantities are provided in the following paragraphs.

2 2
For line-to-neutral (VL-N) voltage sensing: Vab = Va + Va Vb + Vb
2 2
Vbc = Vb + Vb Vc + Vc
2 2
Vca = Vc + Vc Va + Va
For all three-phase voltage sensing configurations:
kVA: kVA A Phase = (Vab × Ia) divided by (1000 times square-root of three)
kVA B Phase = (Vbc × Ib) divided by (1000 times square-root of three)
kVA C Phase = (Vca × Ic) divided by (1000 times square-root of three)
Total kVA = kVA A Phase + kVA B Phase + kVA C Phase
kW: kW A Phase = kVA A Phase times Power Factor

kW B Phase = kVA B Phase times Power Factor
kW C Phase = kVA C Phase times Power Factor
Total kW = Total kVA × PF
Power Factor (PF) = Cosine of the measured angle between voltage and current zero crossings
Related Circuits
Zero Crossing Detection

The zero crossing of the A phase voltage and the B phase current is detected and used to calculate the
phase angle between the current and voltage. This zero crossing is also used to measure the bus and
generator frequencies.
Signal Switching
Solid state switches, under microprocessor control, select the voltage or current sensing signal that is
applied to the RMS to dc converter. The resulting signal is sent to the twelve bit analog-to-digital
converter where it is digitized for use by the microprocessor.
RMS To DC Converter
Scaled and conditioned signals representing the voltage and current sensing inputs are used as the input
to the RMS to dc converter. This converter output is a dc level proportional to the RMS value of the input.
Analog To Digital Converter

Signals from the RMS to dc converter, coolant temperature sensing input, fuel level sensing input, and the
oil pressure sensing input are digitized by the twelve-bit analog to digital converter. The digitized
information is stored in random access memory (RAM). This information is used by the microprocessor
for all metering and protection functions.
OUTPUTS
Each output relay is controlled by the microprocessor and the emergency stop contact input. When the
emergency stop contact input is open, all output contacts open. When the emergency stop contact input
is closed and a signal is given by the microprocessor, the output contacts close. All outputs are
electrically isolated from each other and from the internal circuitry. Four outputs (master start, auxiliary
start, run, and fuel solenoid) are associated with engine cranking functions. The remaining nine outputs
(Figure 3-1) are associated with the various alarms, prealarms, and prestart.
WARNING

SOFTWARE
Software embedded in the DGC-2000 controls all aspects of device functionality. This comprises power
up initialization, front panel set up and configuration, input contact status monitoring, protective function
detection and annunciation, system parameter monitoring, output contact status control, and RS-232
serial communications.
When battery power is first applied, the DGC 2000 initiates a power up sequence. The version of
embedded software is displayed on the LCD and the memory is checked. Then all configuration data
stored in non-volatile EEPROM is brought into main memory. Immediately after this, the LCD display
begins the Normal mode. When the Normal mode is displayed, all enabled functions are activated and
input monitoring begins.
NOTE
The run time counter, kilowatt-hour meter and maintenance timers are updated in volatile
memory every minute. The updated value is saved to non-volatile memory only when
auto/off/run mode of operation is changed. This can be changed either from the front
panel or through the communications port. Should the battery power source fail during
operation these values will not be updated and the change in value incurred since the last
change of mode will not be saved. This information is irretrievably lost.
Display Modes
Pressing the Display Toggle pushbutton when in the Normal display mode allows the user to scroll
through the Normal, Alternate, and Menu display modes. Figure 3-2 shows the top level display modes.
Normal Mode
This displays the various engine and generator parameters as described by the front panel overlay.
Pressing the Phase Toggle pushbutton after the engine is running scrolls through the voltage and current
measurements that are available.

SECTION 4 • INSTALLATION
GENERAL
DGC-2000 Digital Generator Controllers are delivered in sturdy cartons to prevent shipping damages.
Upon receipt of the unit, check for damage, and if there is evidence of such, immediately file a claim with
the carrier and notify the Basler Electric Regional Sales Office, your Sales Representative or Sales
Representative at Basler Electric, Highland, Illinois.
If the controller is not installed immediately, store it in the original shipping package in a moisture and dust
free environment.
HARDWARE
DGC-2000 Controllers are packaged in aluminum cases for improved electromagnetic compatibility and
are suitable for mounting in any top mount enclosure. The metal case is resistant to moisture, salt fog,
humidity, dust, dirt, and chemical contaminants. It also inhibits insect and rodent entrance. DGC-2000
Controllers are mounted using the permanently attached 10-32 by 5/8 inch (1/2 inch usable) studs.

SECTION 6 • MODBUS™ COMMUNICATIONS
GENERAL
This section describes the Modbus™ communications protocol employed by the DGC-2000 and how to
exchange information with DGC-2000 over a Modbus™ network. The DGC 2000 communicates by
emulating a subset of the Modicon 984 Programmable Controller. Communications allow the operator to
monitor the DGC-2000 Controller from a remote location or change parameter settings. A rear RS-232
port provides a permanent interface for remote communications.
Interface
The rear panel interface uses a standard RS-232 (DB-9) connector. The communications protocol is
compatible with readily available modem/terminal software. The RS-232 communication port supports full
duplex operation.
For all communication ports :
• The communications baud rate is fixed at 9600.
• The number of data bits is fixed at 8.
• The parity is fixed at NONE (N).
• The number of stop bits is fixed at 1.
Applications
Rear panel communication port may be used to interface terminals, computers, serial printers, modems,
and intermediate communication/control interfaces such as RS-232 serial multiplexors. DGC-2000
communications protocol supports only the RTU mode.
INTRODUCTION TO MODBUS™ PROTOCOL

Modbus™ communications use a master-slave technique in which only the master can initiate a
transaction. This transaction is called a query. When appropriate, a slave (DGC-2000) responds to the
query. When a Modbus™ master communicates with a slave, information is provided or requested by the
master.
All supported data can be read and written as specified in the register table. Abbreviations are used in the
Register Table to indicate the register type. Register types are:
Read/Write = RW
Read only = R
Write only = W
DGC-2000 MODBUS™ PROTOCOL

When a slave receives a query, the slave responds by either supplying the requested data to the master
or performing the requested action. A slave device never initiates communications on the Modbus™, and
will always generate a response to the query unless certain error conditions occur. The DGC-2000 is
designed to communicate on the Modbus™ only as a slave device.
A master can only query slaves individually. If a query requests actions unable to be performed by the
slave, the slave response message contains an exception response code defining the error detected.
DGC-2000 MODBUS™ COMMUNICATIONS 6-1

Message Structure
Master initiated queries and DGC-2000 responses share the same message structure. Each message is
comprised of four message fields. They are:
• Device Address
• Function Code
• Data Block
• Error Check field
Device Address Field

The device address field contains the unique Modbus™ address of the slave being queried. The
addressed slave repeats the address in the device address field of the response message. This field is 1
byte.
The DGC-2000 device address can be any value in the Modbus™ protocol device address range (1- 247).
A query with a device address signifies a broadcast message to all slaves. The DGC-2000 responds only
to preset multiple registers broadcast queries.
Function Code Field

The function code field in the query message defines the action to be taken by the addressed slave. This
field is echoed in the response message, and is altered by setting the most significant bit (MSB) of the
field to 1 if the response is an error response. This field is 1 byte.
The DGC-2000 maps all parameters into the Modicon 984 holding register address space (4XXXX) and
supports the following function codes.
• Function 03 - read holding registers
• Function 08, subfunction 00 - diagnostics: return query data
• Function 16 - preset multiple registers, non-broadcast and broadcast
The only broadcast query supported by the DGC-2000 is the preset multiple registers query.
Data Block Field

The query data block contains additional information needed by the slave to perform the requested
function. The response data block contains data collected by the slave for the queried function. An error
response will substitute an exception response code for the data block. The length of this field varies with
each query. See the register holding table for interpretation of the data.
Error Check Field

The error check field provides a method for the slave to validate the integrity of the query message
contents and allows the master to confirm the validity of response message contents. This field is 2 bytes.
SERIAL TRANSMISSION DETAILS

A standard Modbus™ network offers two transmission modes for communication: ASCII or remote
terminal unit (RTU). The DGC-2000 supports only the RTU mode.
Each 8-bit byte in a message contains two 4-bit hexadecimal characters. The message is transmitted in
a continuous stream with the LSB of each byte of data transmitted first. Transmission of each 8-bit data
byte occurs with one start bit and one stop bit. Even parity checking is performed. The transmission
baud rate is user-selectable, and can be set at installation and altered during real-time operation. If
altered, the new baud rate and/or parity will not be enforced until the response message to the current
query has been completed. The DGC-2000 supported baud rate is 9600.
NOTE
DGC-2000 supports only RS-232 compatible serial interfaces accessible from the rear
panel.
6-2 DGC-2000 MODBUS™ COMMUNICATIONS

MESSAGE FRAMING AND TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
When receiving a message, the DGC-2000 allows a maximum inter-byte latency of up to 3.5 to 4.0
character times before considering the message complete.
Once a valid query is received, the DGC-2000 waits a minimum amount of time before responding. This
time delay is set in the remote delay time register (40052). This register contains a value from 1 - 20
representing 10 - 200 milliseconds. The default value is 1 (10 milliseconds). The user may set the remote
delay time register to 0 to minimize response latency.
Table 6-1 provides the response message transmission time (in seconds) and 3.5 character times (in
milliseconds) for various message lengths and baud rate.
Table 6-1. Timing Considerations

3.5 Character Message Tx Time (Sec.)
Baud Rate Time (mSec)
128 Bytes 256 Bytes
9600 4.0104 0.15 0.29
ERROR HANDLING AND EXCEPTION RESPONSES

Any query received that contains a non-existent device address, a framing error, or CRC error is ignored.
No response is transmitted. Queries addressed to a DGC-2000 with an unsupported function code,
unsupported register references, or illegal values in the data block result in an error response message
with an exception response code. The exception response codes supported by the DGC-2000 are
provided in Table 6-2.
Table 6-2. Supported Exception Response Codes

Code Name Meaning
01 Illegal Function The query Function/Subfunction Code is unsupported; query read of more
than 125 registers; query preset of more than 100 registers; query preset
without password clearance.
02 Illegal Data A register referenced in the data block does not support queried read/write;
Address query preset of a subset of a numerical register group.
03 Illegal Data Value A preset register data block contains an incorrect number of bytes or one
or more data values out of range.
COMMUNICATIONS HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

Section 4, Installation, illustrates the IBM PC - AT type serial port connections. When using RS-232
communications, pin 8 to pin 7 and pin 4 to pin 6 are internally connected in the DGC-2000 to satisfy
handshaking requirements.
DETAILED MESSAGE QUERY AND RESPONSE

A detailed description of DGC-2000 supported message queries and responses is provided in the
following paragraphs.
Read Holding Registers Query

This query message requests a register or block of registers to be read. The data block contains the
starting register address and the quantity of registers to be read. A register address of N will read holding
register N+1.

Device Address
Function Code 03 (hex)
Starting Address Hi
Starting Address Lo
No. of Registers Hi
No. of Registers Lo
CRC error check
The number of registers cannot exceed 125 without causing an error response with the exception code for
an illegal function.
Queries to read only or unsupported registers result in an error response with exception code for an illegal
data address.
Queries to read without valid logon password clearance result in an error response with exception code of
illegal function.
Read Holding Registers Response

The response message contains the data queried. The data block contains the block length in bytes
followed by the data for each requested register. For each requested register, there is one Data Hi and
one Data Lo. Attempting to read an unused register or a register which does not support a read results in
an error response with the exception code for an illegal data address.

Return Query
A query message requests a register or block of registers to be written. The data block contains the
starting address and the quantity of registers to be written, followed by the Data Block byte count and
data. The DGC-2000 will perform the write when the device address is the same as the DGC-2000
remote address or when the device address is 0. A device address is 0 for a broadcast query.
A register address of N will write Holding Register N+1.
No data will be written if any of the following exceptions occur.
• Queries to write to Read Only or unsupported registers result in an error response with Exception
Code of Illegal Data Address.
• Queries attempting to write more than 100 registers cause an error response with Exception Code
Illegal Function.
• An incorrect Byte Count will result in an error response with Exception Code of “Illegal Data Value.
• A query to write which is not preceded by a valid Password Clearance query results in an error
response with Exception Code of “Illegal Function.
• There are several instances of registers that are grouped together to collectively represent a
single numerical (vs. ASCII string) DGC-2000 register value (DP, FP, TP). A query to write a
subset of such a register group will result in an error response with Exception Code “Illegal Data
Address.
• A query to write an illegal value (out of range) to a register results in an error response with
Exception Code of “Illegal Data Value.

Preset Multiple Register Query
A Preset Multiple Register query of Holding Register 40253 (Logon Password) containing the ASCII
character string for the DGC-2000 password grants permission to access the DGC-2000 parameters until
a pre-set multiple register query of holding register 40031 (Logoff) occurs.
The device address is 0 for a broadcast query.
The query starting address must be 0076 and as many as 8 characters (4 registers) can be used for the
password. Data containing a password of less than 8 characters must include the string termination
character (0). For example, if the password is ABCDEFGH, then the query data block would consist of
the following 4 registers:
Query Address Query Data
0252 AB
0253 CD
0254 EF
0255 GH
However, a password of WXYZ would require the following query data:
0252 WX
0253 YZ
0254 00
A password of WXY would require the following query data:
0252 WX
0253 Y0
Data in excess of 8 characters or following the string termination character (0) is ignored.
An error response will result only for the following exception: an incorrect Byte Count will result in an error
response with Exception Code of Illegal Data Value.

CHANGING THE LOGON PASSWORD
The current password can be altered by following a Password Clearance query with a general Preset
Multiple Register query with starting address in the Remote Password register group (40252 - 40256). The
new password can be up to 8 characters in length, beginning with register 40253. All characters
subsequent to the initial 8 are ignored. By choosing a starting address other than 40253, a portion of the
existing password can be overwritten to form a new password. The string termination character (0) must
be included when altering the length of a password unless the new password is 8 characters long.
For example, to change the password from ABCD to ABC, the query data is:
Register Address Register Data
0253 C0
To change the password from ABCD to WXYZ, the query data is:
0252 WX
0253 YZ
Finally, to change the password from ABC to ABCD, the query data can be
0253 CD
0254 00
or could be
0252 AB
0253 CD
0254 00
DATA FORMATS
Some DGC-2000 data must be reformatted for transmission over the Modbus network. Parameters
whose values can exceed 9999 but not exceed 99,999,999 are represented in double precision format.
Parameters whose values can exceed 99,999,999 must be formatted in triple precision. Single byte data
resides in the register least-significant byte with the most-significant byte set to zero. Negative values
(single and double precision only) are represented by a sign bit (register MSB) and magnitude.
Double Precision Data Format

Modbus double precision data format uses two consecutive registers to represent a data value. The first
register contains the high-order 16 bits of double precision data, and is the actual data value divided by
10,000.
The second register contains the low-order 16 bits of double precision data, and is the actual data value
modulus 10,000. The format is:
Double precision = A(10,000) + B
Triple Precision Data Format

Modbus triple precision data format uses three consecutive registers (A, B, and X) to represent the
magnitude of a data value. The first register contains the high-order 16 bits of triple precision data, and is
the magnitude of the actual value divided by 100,000,000. The register MSB is the sign bit. The modulus
from this operation is divided by 10,000 to arrive at the value of the second register, and the modulus of
this last operation is the value of the third register (the low-order 16 bits of triple precision). The format is:
Triple precision = A(10,000 )2 + B(10,000) + X

The MSB is the sign bit for triple precision values (0 = positive). Negative values are reported as a sign
11
and a magnitude. Triple precision format allows a maximum value of 9.99X10 . The maximum range of
several holding registers can exceed this value. If in actual operation, the working value is expected to
exceed this value, the floating point data format should be used. These holding registers are marked with
an asterisk in the paragraphs for the Register Table.
Error Check
This field contains a two-byte CRC value for transmission error detection. The master first calculates the
CRC and appends it to the query message. The DGC-2000 recalculates the CRC value for the received
query and performs a comparison to the query CRC value to determine if a transmission error has
occurred. If so, no response message is generated. If no transmission error has occurred, the slave
calculates a new CRC value for the response message and appends it to the message for transmission.
The CRC calculation is performed using all bytes of the device address, function code and data block
fields. A 16-bit CRC-register is initialized to all 1's. Then each eight-bit byte of the message is used in the
following algorithm:
First, exclusive-OR the message byte with the low-order byte of the CRC-register. The result, stored in
the CRC-register, will then be right-shifted eight times. The CRC-register MSB is zero-filled with each
shift. After each shift, the CRC-register LSB is examined. If the LSB IS a 1, the CRC-register is then
exclusive-ORed with the fixed polynomial value A001 (hex) prior to the next shift. Once all bytes of the
message have undergone the above algorithm, the CRC-register will contain the message CRC value to
be placed in the error check field.
Settings Source Register (40081)

Write to this register to select the settings group to be used (Factory, OEM or USER) as the source for
retrieving settings and the settings group to be used (OEM or USER only).
Saving Settings Register (40082)

Writing any value to this register causes settings values to be written into the DGC-2000’s non-volatile
memory at the settings group specified in the settings source register ( OEM or USER only).
MAPPING REGISTERS INTO MODICON ADDRESS SPACE
Conventions
The Data Format column uses the following abbreviations.
DP Double precision
TP Triple Precision
Data formatted in double precision uses a two register group designated (a) and (b) and is defined as
follows:
Register (a) - two hi-order bytes

Register (b) - two lo-order bytes
Data which are represented in triple precision format use a group of three registers designated (a), (b),
and (x).
Register (a) - two hi-order bytes

Register (b) - two mid-order bytes
Register (x) - two lo-order bytes
Other register groups using the (a), (b), etc. designators are an ordered data group of consecutive ASCII
characters or data bytes.

SECTION 7 • DGC-2000 WINDOWS® SOFTWARE
GENERAL
®
DGC-2000 Windows Software is an application that enhances communication between the personal
®
computer (PC) user and the DGC-2000. DGC-2000 Windows Software serves two main purposes. First,
it provides a user friendly environment for changing DGC-2000 settings. Second, it provides on-screen,
real time metering that is updated approximately every one and one-half seconds. The interface software
also allows users to save the current setting configurations and data information to a disk. Users can
save multiple setups for later use which saves setup time when configuring multiple units. Without DGC-
®
2000 Windows Software, users must be familiar with the limited function operations at the DGC-2000
front panel.
INSTALLATION
DGC 2000 Windows software contains a setup utility that installs the program on your PC. When it installs
the program, an uninstall icon is created that you may use to uninstall (remove) the program from your
PC. The minimum operating requirements are listed in the following paragraph.
Operating Requirements
To use DGC 2000 Windows software, you will need the following:
• IBM compatible PC, 486DX2 or faster, and a minimum of four megabytes of RAM
• Microsoft Windows 95 or Windows 3.1
• 3.5 inch floppy drive
• RS-232 Serial port
®
Installing The Program On Your PC With Windows 95
1. Insert disk 1 in the 3.5 inch floppy drive
2. From the Task Bar select Start then Run
3. Enter a:\Setup.exe and press enter or click on Browse and select the A: drive and double click
Setup.exe.
®
Installing The Program On Your PC With Windows 3.1
1. Insert disk 1 in the 3.5 inch floppy drive
2. From Program Manager select File menu and then Run
3. Enter a:\Setup.exe and press enter or select the A: drive and double click Setup.exe.
Configuring The System
Communication with a DGC 2000 unit can be done by a direct cable connection or through a modem. The
installation section of the manual has the RS-232 serial link connection pinouts. For direct connection use
a standard RS-232 cable. For modem communications connection use a modem to the DGC RS-232 port
and a null-modem cable. Connect another modem to the host computer with a standard RS-232 cable.
INITIALIZING COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE DGC 2000 Windows Software

Select the DGC 2000 icon from Program Manger or select DGC 2000 under the Basler Electric directory
under Programs in the Start Menu. A momentary dialog box (splash screen) opens that displays the
Basler Electric Logo, program name, and revision identification. After the splash screen the initial screen
(Figure 7-1) will follow. Pull down the Communications menu select Open and then either RS232 or
DGC-2000 WINDOWS® SOFTWARE 7-1

Modem depending on the communication type desired. This will open the Comm Port screen like the one
shown in Figure 7-2.
Figure 7-1. Initial Screen
Figure 7-2. Comm Port

This screen shows the currently selected communication parameters if these are correct select the comm
port and press the Initialize button. If the port is available the Logon Password screen (Figure 7-3) will
appear. Type in your password and press OK. If you press Cancel the comm port will be closed and you
will have to initialize communications again. If the communication parameter shown on the Comm Port
screen are incorrect see the Section on changing the programs communication parameters.
7-2 DGC-2000 WINDOWS® SOFTWARE

Figure 7-3. Password
(Note : The default Limited Access password is “DGC” and the default Full Access password is
“DGC2000.” Passwords are case sensitive.)
If modem connection was selected after your press initialize the Phone Book screen (Figure 7-4) will
appear. From here you can select the name of the unit you want to call. You can also add or delete items
in the phone book. After making a selection press the Dial Number button and the modem will dial the
select number. After the modem’s connect the Logon Password screen (Figure 7-3) will appear. Type in
your password and press OK.
Figure 7-4. Phone Book
CHANGING THE PROGRAMS COMMUNICATION PARAMETERS

The communications parameter can be changed both when you are logged onto a DGC unit and when
you are not logged on. To change the communications parameters, pull down the Configure menu and
select RS232 this will bring up the screen shown in Figure 7-5. When you are logged onto a unit and
change a parameter, by selecting Save you are saving the changes both to the PC and to the DGC unit.
When not logged on the parameters are only saved to the PC. (Note : To change the communications
parameters in the DGC you must be logged on with the full access password.)
The Modem Time Delay parameter is only available if you are changing the parameters while logged onto
a unit. This parameter allows the user to extend the standard 3.5 millisecond “no character” timeout (for
Modbus) by as much as 10 milliseconds (9999). This extra time is used to compensate for the extra time
delays that the modem adds.

Figure 7-5. Communications Configure Screen
CHANGING LOGON PASSWORDS

To change Logon passwords you must be currently logged onto a DGC unit. Pull down the
Communication menu and select Change Password. When this is done the Change Password (Figure
7-6) screen will appear. There are two option buttons on the top off the screen. Select the level of the
password you wish to change. Note : If you logged in with the limited access password you are only
allowed to change the limited access password. Enter the new password in the first text box and repeat it
again in the bottom text box. After entering the new password press the OK button, if both passwords you
entered match, the new password will be sent to the DGC. (Note : Passwords are case sensitive)
Figure 7-6. Change Password
REMOTE START AND STOP OF GENERATOR

The DGC must be in Auto for this function to be enabled. When selected the screen in Figure 7-7 is
displayed. To start the generator press the start button, this brings up the screen in Figure 7-8 which
shows the status of the start operation. The start operation can be canceled by pressing the Cancel
button. After the starting process is complete the Remote Starting screen will come back up. To exit
press the Cancel button. To stop the generator press the Stop button. If successful a message box will
be displayed.

Figure 7-8. Starting Status
CHANGING SETTINGS
Settings are arranged in five groups.
• Sensing Transformers
• Pre-Alarms
• Alarm
• Crank
• System
To change settings, you must first select the screen associated with the setting. When you are logged on
with the limited access password you can see all of the current settings in the unit but cannot change all of
them. The settings that can not be changed will be disabled so that you can not select them. Double
clicking on any white rectangular box will allow you to change (if allowed) that setting. Once all of the
settings have been entered, pull down the Communications menu and select Send to DGC, this will
send the settings to the DGC and verify them.

Metering
DGC 2000 Windows software provides a means to monitor the metering data and alarm status. The
metering data and the alarm status are refreshed approximately every 1.5 seconds.
Metering. The metering is separated into six different screens. There is one screen Summary that shows
all the available metering values from the DGC 2000 (Refer to Figure 7-18). The other five screens have
a detailed subset of these metering values available. To enable metering you must be logged onto a unit
and then open the Metering menu and select enable metering. If you are not on the metering screen the
program will change to the metering screen and start updating the values. When metering is disabled all
of the metering screens will be grayed out showing they are inactive.
Figure 7-18. Metering Screen

Alarms. The pre-alarms and alarms are all shown on one screen (refer to Figure 7-19). When a pre-
alarm becomes active the LED next to the name of the pre-alarm will be green. A description of the alarm
will be shown on top of the screen and the computer speaker will begin to beep. The label on top of the
screen will contain the same alarm until it goes away and then it will show the next pre-alarm going down
the list that is active. When an alarm becomes active the LED next to the name of the alarm will be red.
The screen will jump to the alarm tab and the computer speaker will begin to beep. If the alarm type is a
Sender Failure the type of sender that failed will be indicated in the Sender Failure type area.

Figure 7-19. Metering - Alarms Screen
Top Portion Of The Screen

This area of the screen contains icon buttons for New File, File Open, Save File, Print File and a button for
each screen. Refer to Figure 7-20.
New File - Overwrites the current settings with default settings as a starting point.
File Open - Open a currently saved settings file.
File Save - Saves the settings that are being edited to a settings file.
Print File - Prints a hard copy of the settings.
The Generator Status gives the last received state of the generator if you are logged on. When metering
is enabled this is updated continuously along with the other meter readings. When metering is disabled it
only checks the generator status when another communication event happens i.e. logon, send settings or
get settings).
Emergency Stop button - This button is used to shut the generator down in an emergency. You must be
logged onto the DGC for this button to be active. When this button is selected it will change into an
Emergency Reset button.
