3.5 Sequences
3.5.1 Sequences
The following contains information about the sequences of the engine. These sequences are automatically
initiated if the auto mode is selected.
In manual, the selected sequence is the only sequence initiated (e.g. when the START push-button is press-
ed, the engine will start etc.).
We recommend not using small relays for stop coil output. If small relays are used, a resistor
must be mounted across the relay coil to prevent undesirable closing of the relay. This is
caused by the wirebreak function.
No matter the choice of start prepare function, the running coil is activated 1 sec. before the start relay (start-
er).
Start sequence:
Normal start prepare
Start prepare
Run coil
1 sec.
Stop coil
Running feedback
Start sequence:
Extended start prepare
Start prepare
Run coil
1 sec.
Stop coil
Running feedback
Run coil can be activated from 1...600 sec. before crank (starter) will be executed. In the above
example, the timer is set to 1 sec. (menu 6150).
The selection is made in setting 6185. For each of the RMI settings, the rule is that the value (oil pressure,
fuel level or water temperature) must exceed the setpoint of setting 6186 before starting is initiated.
If the value in 6186 is set to 0.0, the start sequence is initiated as soon as it is requested.
The diagram below shows an example where the RMI signal builds up slowly, and starting is initiated at the
end of the third start attempt.

The running detection is made with a built-in safety routine. The running feedback selected is the primary
feedback. At all times, all the types of running feedback are used for running detection. If, for some reason,
the primary choice is not detecting any running feedback, the starter relay will stay activated for 1 additional
second. If a running feedback is detected based on one of the secondary choices, the engine will start. In this
way, the engine will still be functional even though a tacho sensor is damaged or dirty.
As soon as the engine is running, no matter if the engine is started based on the primary or secondary feed-
back, the running detection will be made, based on all available types.

Extended prepare: the extended prepare will activate the start prepare relay when the start sequence is initi-
ated and keep it activated when the start relay activates until the specified time has expired. If the extended
prepare time exceeds the start ON time, the start prepare relay is deactivated. If the timer is set to 0.0 s, the
extended prepare function is deactivated.
Start ON time: the starter will be activated during this period when cranking.

The stop sequence will be activated if a stop command is given. The stop sequence includes the cooling
down time if the stop is a normal or controlled stop.
The stop sequence can only be interrupted during the cooling down period in these situations:
Event Comment
Start button is pressed Local mode: engine will run in idle speed
Digital start input Remote mode
Extended stop:
The delay after the running feedback has disappeared until a new start sequence is allowed. The extended
stop sequence is activated any time the stop button is pressed.
If, for some reason, the engine cannot get the temperature below the temperature setpoint in 6214 within the
time limit in parameter 6211, the engine will be shut down by this timer. The reason for this could be high
ambient temperature or too high exhaust temperatures etc.
If the cooling-down timer is set to 0.0 s, the cooling-down sequence will be infinite.
If the cooling-down temperature is set to 0 deg., the cooling-down sequence will be entirely
controlled by the timer.
A parameter cannot be entered with a password that is ranking too low. But the settings can be displayed
without password entry.
Each parameter can be protected by a specific password level. To do so, the PC utility software must be
used. Enter the parameter to be configured and select the correct password level.
The password level can also be changed from the parameter view in the column "Level".
If the password level is not entered, it is not possible to enter the parameters.
The customer password can be changed in parameter 9111. The service password can be
changed in parameter 9112. The master password can be changed in parameter 9113.
The factory passwords must be changed if the operator of the engine is not allowed to change
the parameters.
It is not possible to change the password at a higher level than the password entered.
Information about display and menu structure can be found in the "Operator's manual", which
is located on DEIF's homepage under documentation for ECU 100.
5. Engine communication
5.1 Reference to engine communication manual
5.1.1 Engine communication
The ECU 100 is able to communicate with an engine controller through the CANbus (CAN A).
Information about engine communication can be found in the "Engine communication" man-
ual, which is located on DEIF's homepage under documentation for ECU 100.
6. Additional functions
6.1 Start functions
6.1.1 Start functions
The ECU will start the engine when the start command is given. The start relay is deactivated when the re-
move starter event occurs or when the running feedback is present.
The reason for having two possibilities to deactivate the start relay is to be able to delay the alarms with run
status.
If it is not possible to activate the run status alarms at low revolutions, the remove starter function must be
used.
An example of a critical alarm is the oil pressure alarm. Normally, it is configured according to the shutdown
fail class. But if the starter motor has to disengage at 400 RPM, and the oil pressure does not reach a level
above the shutdown setpoint before 600 RPM, then the genset would shut down if the specific alarm was ac-
tivated at the preset 400 RPM. In that case, the running feedback must be activated at a higher number of
revolutions than 600 RPM.

The remove starter input must be configured from a number of available digital inputs.
The running feedback is detected by either the digital input (see diagram above), frequency
measurement (frequency level is adjustable in parameter 6165), RPM measured by magnetic
pickup or EIC (engine communication).

Select the correct relay number in output A and output B, enable the function and write to the controller.
Change the relay function to limit in the I/O menu. Then the relay will activate, but no alarm will appear.
If the relay function is not changed to "limit" function, an alarm will appear at every running
situation.
It is possible to use the idle run function with or without timers. Two timers are available. One timer is used in
the start sequence, and one timer is used in the stop sequence.
The main purpose of the function is to prevent the engine from stopping. The timers are available to make the
function flexible.
The speed governor must be prepared for the idle run function if this function is to be used.
The function is typically used in installations where the engine is exposed to low temperatures which could
generate starting problems or damage the engine.
6.4.2 Description
The function is enabled and configured in 6290 Idle running. It has to be noted that the governor itself must
handle the idle speed based on a digital signal from the ECU (see the principle diagram below).
When the function is enabled, a digital input is used for control purposes. This input must be configured
through the utility software:
If the idle run function is selected by means of the timer, the low speed input is overruled.
Turbo chargers not originally prepared for operating in the low speed area can be damaged if
the engine is running in "idle run" for too long.
6.4.3 Examples
Idle speed during starting and stopping
In this example both the start and the stop timers are activated.
The start and stop sequences are changed in order to let the engine stay at the idle level before speeding up.
It also decreases the speed to the idle level for a specified delay time before stopping.

Setpoint: This setpoint +/- the hysteresis is the start and stop points for the engine heater.
Hysteresis: This decides how big a deviation from the setpoint is needed to activate/deactivate the engine
heater.

The engine heater function is only active when the engine is stopped.
If a busbar failure occurs during the battery test sequence, the test will automatically be interrupted, and the
automatic busbar failure start up sequence will be activated.
During the test, the battery voltage will decrease, and an alarm will occur if it drops to the setpoint.

Test 1 Test 2
The drawing shows that test #1 is carried out without a large voltage drop of the battery voltage, whereas test
#2 reaches the alarm setpoint as the voltage drop is too big.
As there is no reason to wear the battery down even more, the test stops when the battery test alarm occurs.
The test is typically used at periodical intervals, e.g. once every week. The engine must be at a standstill
when the test is started. Otherwise, the test command will be ignored. The stop relay will act depending on
the coil type:
The drawing below shows that when the test is started, the start relay activates what makes the engine turn.

Timer: If the fuel level has not increased by 2% within this delay, a Fuel fill alarm will be raised.
Output A (OA): The relay to be used for control of the fuel pump. The selected relay activates below
the start limit and deactivates above the stop level.
The output relay should be configured as a limit relay, otherwise, an alarm will be raised when-
ever the output is activated.
The below drawing shows how the fuel pump is activated when the level reaches 20% and stopped again
when the level has reached 80%.

Seven different fail classes can be used. The tables below illustrate the action of each fail class when the
engine is running or stopped.
Fail class Action Alarm horn relay Alarm display Cooling-down engine Stop engine
1 Block X X
2 Warning X X
5 Shutdown X X X
The table illustrates the action of the fail classes. If, for instance, an alarm has been configured with the "shut-
down" fail class, the following actions occur.
The alarm horn relay will activate
The alarm will be displayed in the alarm info screen
The engine is stopped instantly
The engine cannot be started from the unit (see next table)
In addition to the actions defined by the fail classes, it is possible to activate one or two relay
outputs if additional relays are available in the unit.
To change the fail class via the PC software, the alarm function to be configured must be selected. Select the
desired fail class in the fail class roll-down panel.
The function is based on running hours. When the adjusted time expires, the unit will display an alarm. The
running hours is counting when the running feedback is present.
Hour's timer: The number of running hours to activate the alarm. The service timer alarm will be activa-
ted as soon as the running hours have been reached.
Days timer: The number of days to activate the alarm if the running hours are not reached before
this number of days, the alarm will still be activated. The service timer alarm will be acti-
vated at 8:00 AM on the day the alarm expires.
Reset: Enabling this will reset the service timer to zero. This must be done when the alarm is
activated.
2. Remote start
This input initiates the start sequence of the engine when manual mode is selected.
3. Remote stop
This input initiates the stop sequence of the engine when manual mode is selected. The engine will stop with-
out cooling down.
5. Remove starter
The start sequence is deactivated. This means the start relay deactivates, and the starter motor will disen-
gage.
6. Local mode
Changes the present running mode to local.
7. Remote mode
Changes the present running mode to remote.
8. Test mode
Activates the test sequence.
9. Battery test
Activates the starter without starting the engine. If the battery is weak, the test will cause the battery voltage
to drop more than acceptable, and an alarm will occur.
6.12 Outputs
The unit has a number of output functions which can be configured to any available relay.
2. Run Coil
The relay configured as run coil will close when the start prepare timer runs out and be closed the entire time
the engine is running. The run coil timer can if used delay activation of the starter (crank) relay.
3. Stop Coil
This relay configured as stop coil will when activated close and stop the engine. When running feedback
ends, stop coil will stay closed in the extended stop time (parameter 6212) and then open.
4. Prepare
This function (start prepare) will close the relay as the first thing in the start sequence. The relay will be
closed for the time programmed in parameter 6181. This function is used for preheating the engine or for pre-
lubrication.
5. Starter (Crank)
The relay configured to starter will be closed for the time selected in parameter 6184 in the start sequence.
6. Horn
The horn relay is an alarm output. This means that every time an alarm state appears, the horn relay will
close for the time configured in the parameter 6130 Alarm horn regardless of fail class. If 6130 is set to 0
seconds, it will be on until the reset horn push-button is activated or the alarm(s) has (have) been acknowl-
edged.
6.13 Multi-inputs
The CU unit has three multi-inputs which can be configured to be used as the following input types:
1. 4-20 mA
2. RMI oil
3. RMI water
4. RMI fuel
5. Digital
The function of the multi-inputs can only be configured in the PC utility software in 10980,
10990 and 11000.
For each input, two alarm levels are available, the menu numbers of the alarm settings for each multi-input is
controlled by the configured input type as seen in the following table.
Only one alarm level is available for the digital input type.
6.13.1 4-20 mA
If one of the multi-inputs has been configured as 4-20 mA, the unit and range of the measured value corre-
sponding to 4-20 mA can be changed in the PC utility software in order to get the correct reading in the dis-
play.
For each type of RMI, it is possible to select between different characteristics including a configurable one.
The configurable type is configurable with eight points in the range 0-2500 . The resistance as
well as the pressure can be adjusted.
If the RMI input is used as a level switch, then be aware that no voltage must be connected to
the input. If any voltage is applied to the RMI inputs, it will be damaged. Please refer to the Ap-
plication Notes for further wiring information.

6.13.7 Configuration
The eight curve settings for the configurable RMI inputs cannot be changed in the display, but only in the PC
utility software. In the PC utility software the configurable inputs are adjusted in this dialogue box:
Adjust the resistance of the RMI sensor at the specific measuring value. In the example above the adjustment
is 10 at 0.0 bar.
Scaling example:
1. Use the utility software to configure a multi-input to be 4-20 mA, in this example multi-input 6 (parameter
10980)
2. Read the parameters from the device
3. After reading the parameters, the 4-20 mA alarm appears under the analogue fane in the USW. The ex-
ample below shows how to adjust the analogue input alarm.
The three dots to the left of the figures, marked with arrows, are buttons. Adjust the input as required, e.g.

5. If needed, it is possible to scale the input to fit the sensor (Parameter 11010).
6. It is necessary to read the parameters from the device to the computer after changing the scale (1/1, 1/10
or 1/100) settings. This is in order to refresh the parameter list so the alarm settings present the correct value.
7. After reading the parameters, the alarm has been scaled so it needs to be adjusted (0-5 in this example),
and this is also a scaling of the value on the display.
6.13.9 Digital
If the multi-inputs are configured to "Digital", they become available as digital inputs which means a switch
function input.
Principle
The illustration below shows that when the wire of the input breaks, the measured value will drop to zero, and
the alarm will occur.

Function Description
Alarm relay The relay is energised until the alarm occurs. From here, the relay stays deactivated until the
NE alarm is acknowledged and gone. The relay will, based on the alarm, send out a signal, or
not, depending on its physical setup (normally open or normally closed).
Limit relay The relay will activate at the limit setpoint. No alarm will appear when both outputs (OA/OB)
of the alarm are adjusted to the limit relay. After the condition activating this relay has re-
turned to normal, the relay will deactivate when the "OFF delay" has expired. The OFF delay
is adjustable.
Horn relay The output activates on all alarms. For a detailed description, please refer to the chapter
"Horn output".
Siren relay The output activates on all alarms, like "Horn output". If the relay is ON, and another alarm is
active, a short-time reset will be activated.
Alarm relay The relay is deenergised until the alarm occurs. From here, the relay stays activated until the
ND alarm is acknowledged and gone. The relay will, based on the alarm, send out a signal, or
not, depending on its physical setup (normally open or normally closed).
Common The output activates all alarms, like "Horn output" If the relay is ON, and another alarm is
alarm active, a short-time reset will be activated. The common alarm output will be activated as
long as there is an active alarm - also if the alarm is acknowledged.
The 1st alarm activates the relay chosen for the horn, siren or common alarm. The 2nd will deactivate the
relay and subsequently activate again to tell that another alarm has occured, but only on the siren and the
common alarm. The horn alarm will keep the relay activated from the 1st alarm, and until the timer in parame-
ter 6130 runs out. Then the relay is deactivated.
The next alarms will in the same way always on the common alarm de- and activate the relay. On the siren,
the time from the 2nd alarm to the next has to be more than 5 seconds; otherwise the relay will stay activated.
When the timer runs out (parameter 6130), the siren deactivates the relay, but if a common alarm is chosen,
it stays activated until the alarm is acknowledged and gone.
The languages are selected in the system setup menu 6080. The language can be changed when connected
to the PC utility software. It is not possible to make language configuration from the display, but the already
configured languages can be selected.
Description of information and status texts can be found in the ECU operators manual which
is available at www.deif.com.
6.19 Counters
Counters for various values are included, and some of these can be adjusted if necessary, for instance if the
unit is installed on an existing engine or a new circuit breaker has been installed.
The table shows the adjustable values and their function in menu 6100:

tempts.
Additional counters for "Running hours" and "Energy" can be read out from the PC utility soft-
ware.
6.20 M-Logic
The M-Logic functionality is included in the unit and is not an option-dependent function.
M-Logic is used to execute different commands at predefined conditions. M-Logic is not a PLC but substitutes
one, if only very simple commands are needed.
M-Logic is a simple tool based on logic events. One or more input conditions are defined, and at the activa-
tion of those inputs, the defined output will occur. A great variety of inputs can be selected, such as digital
inputs, alarm conditions and running conditions. A variety of the outputs can also be selected, such as relay
outputs, change of engine modes and change of running modes.
The M-Logic is part of the PC utility software, and as such, it can only be configured in the PC
utility software and not via the display.
The main purpose of M-Logic is to give the operator/designer more flexible possibilities of operating the gen-
erator control system.
Please refer to the "Help" function in the PC utility software for a full description of this config-
uration tool.
6.21 Buzzer
6.21.1 Buzzer
The ECU 100 has a built-in buzzer. The buzzer is configured in M-Logic. This means that if the buzzer is go-
ing to be used as a horn annunciator, the input must be set to "Horn" and the output must be set to "Buzzer".
The buzzer will act concurrently to the horn output timer. If the delay timer in M-Logic is used, the buzzer will
be active after this time delay.
If an AOP-2 is connected, the buzzer in the AOP-2 must be configured under the AOP-2 setup.
But the configuration of the AOP-2 buzzer is similar to the description above.
1. Sending SMS alarm messages to up to 5 different mobile phones. The messages will be clear text, repre-
senting the alarm in question (e.g. Overspeed) and an ID. The ID represents the total numbers of sent
SMS.
2. Communicate with the PC utility software.

Service port
The connection is based on an RS232 connection to a GSM modem via the service port on the unit. Since
the connection on the controller is a TTL communication, the interface box PI-1 (option J5) is needed to con-
vert the signals to RS232. The PI-1 connects via a cable with SUB-D 9-pin female connector on the modem
side (see illustration above).
Modem type
DEIF recommends using a Westermo GDW-11 modem, as the application has been tested with these termi-
nals. The SIM card needed must support data transfer. Contact your GSM provider for details. The easiest
way to set the PIN code in the modem itself is to mount the SIM card in a mobile phone and change the PIN
code there. The SIM card will remember the PIN code when it is installed in the modem.
*After each auxiliary supply power up, the unit will send the required PIN code to the modem if this is neces-
sary. The PIN code is adjusted in the PC utility software.
For calling a foreign number, type "+" and country code instead of "00", for example dial +45 99999999 for a
Danish number.
The modem communication is much slower than the normal direct connection, so please be
patient. It is not recommended to download the entire setting list. Use single setting down-
loads.
If a PC utility software connection is required, then the SIM card must support data transfer.
Contact your GSM provider for details.
Activation
The switching between the nominal setpoints can be done in three ways; digital input, AOP or menu 6006.
Digital input
M-Logic is used when a digital input is needed for switching between the two sets of nominal settings. Select
the required input among the input events, and select the nominal settings in the outputs.
Example:
AOP
M-Logic is used when the AOP is used for switching between the two sets of nominal settings. Select the
required AOP push-button among the input events, and select the nominal settings in the outputs.
Example:
Menu settings
In menu 6006, the switching is made between settings 1 to 2 simply by choosing the desired nominal setting.

value
Six different differential measurements between two analogue input values can be configured.
Differential measurements between two sensors can be configured in menus 4600-4606 and 4670-4676. The
sensors are selected from the input list as shown below, the list also contains various EIC measurements.
Each alarm can be configured in two alarm levels for each differential measurement between the analogue
inputs A and B as follows. The configurations are done in menus 4610-4660 and 4680-4730.
