Product catalog summary
Application
The Compact Genset Controller (CGC 400) is a microprocessor-based unit designed for diesel engine protection and control. It includes features such as automatic engine start/stop, engine protection, breaker control, generator protection, and Automatic Mains Failure (AMF) for the CGC 413 variant. Setup is facilitated through a PC Windows-based utility software, which is password-protected and allows for monitoring, saving, and downloading settings.

Variants and Accessories
The CGC 400 comes in two main variants: CGC 412 and CGC 413. Both variants offer engine protection, J1939 engine communication, generator/busbar protection, Modbus RS-485, and generator breaker control. The CGC 413 additionally supports AMF logic and load takeover. Accessories include a USB cable for PC utility software.

Display Folios and Terminal Overview
The document provides detailed information on the display folios for CGC 412 and CGC 413, along with a terminal overview. The terminal overview includes power supply status, multi-functional inputs, generator voltage, binary inputs, mains voltage, generator current, RPM inputs, relays, and communication ports.

Technical Specifications
The CGC 400 supports an auxiliary supply range of 8.0 Vdc to 35.0 Vdc and can handle dropout cranking. It features a power consumption of less than 3 W and various protection response times under 400 ms. The unit supports multiple input types, including digital, relay, multi-inputs, RPM, Modbus RS-485, and CAN bus port. It also includes specifications for voltage and current measurement, binary input detection levels, and relay outputs.

Unit Dimensions and Panel Cutout
The unit is designed for panel front mounting with dimensions of 160.0 × 220.0 mm (6.30" × 8.66").
