Product catalog summary
Overview
The DST4601/PX is an advanced control card designed for parallel applications in generator sets. It supports a wide range of electronic engines through CAN interfaces, including J1939 protocol for popular engines like VOLVO and SCANIA, and MTU protocols for MTU engines. The device features a large graphic display for user-friendly operation and comprehensive engine diagnostics.

Specifications
- Supports parallel applications and load sharing for up to 24 gen-sets.
- True RMS readings for generator voltages and currents.
- Includes generator and engine protections, fuel pump management, and real-time clock.
- Communication capabilities include RS232 with MODBUS RTU, GSM and PSTN modem management, and Ethernet via SICES MODBUS TCP/RTU GATEWAY.
- Measures active, reactive, and apparent power with high precision.
- Operates within a supply voltage range of 6.5 to 33 Vdc and supports both 50 and 60 Hz frequencies.

Operation Modes
- RESET: Inhibits engine start and forces load supply from the mains.
- PROGRAM: Allows access to programmable parameters with password protection.
- MANUAL: Enables manual engine start and stop with protection devices activated.
- AUTOMATIC: Supports various modes like Single Prime Mover and Multiple Parallel to Mains.
- TEST: Facilitates automatic start for testing with safety protections.

Embedded Functions
- Real-time clock with calendar and remote adjustment capabilities.
- Fast and slow trend history logs for measured values and events.
- Maintenance and temperature warnings, gen-set lock function, and internal alarm horn.

Communication and Interfaces
- Two CAN interfaces (CAN0 and CAN1) for load sharing and digital speed control.
- Optional RS232 or RS485 for I/O expansion or redundant communication.

Generator and Engine Protection
- Includes protections like underfrequency, overfrequency, undervoltage, overvoltage, and more.
- Engine protections cover max power, overspeed, temperature, oil pressure, and fuel level warnings.

DICHRON Module
The DICHRON module is a companion device that expands the DST4601/PX's parallel functions, adding synchronization, voltage matching, and reactive power regulation. It supports advanced management of circuit breakers and offers cost-effective solutions for parallel to mains protections.

Technical Data
- Operating temperature: -20°C to 60°C
- Weight: 1.6 Kg
- Dimensions: 260x205x75 mm
- EMC and safety conform to EN61326-1 and EN61010-1 standards.

Born to manage the last generation of electronic engine, it supports CAN interface toward quite all most popular engines: J1939 protocol for VOLVO, SCANIA, DEUTZ, PERKINS, CAT, IVECO and MTU protocols for MTU engines. A large graphic display, with a resolution of 240x128 pixels, allowed to implement a simple to use operator interface that is able, at the same time, to report an huge number of electrical and engine measures and information. Engine troubleshooting now can be made by textual interface (for example all MTU diagnostic codes are translated in plain English text). DST4601/PX includes an internal Load Sharing unit that allows simple implementation of Parallel to Mains and Multiple Prime Mover applications. Load sharing is made by an additional CAN interface. This bus is also used for Load Management: up to 24 gen-sets can be connected together and share the load, starts and stop automatically depending on the load status. Synchronization, VAR regulation and some parallel protections are accomplished by an additional module: DICHRON. Both CAN interfaces are isolated from the board supply, allowing for high transient immunity and common mode voltages. Via Molinello 8/B 21040 Jerago (VA) Italy Tel 0331 212941 Fax 0331 216102 www.sices.eu E-mail: [email protected] DST4601/PX is a full featured device; it integrates on the standard version almost all the required functionality: generator protections, engine protections and monitoring, fuel pump managing, real time clock, serial communication and direct PSTN and GSM modem managing capability (no more special kit, connect the external modem, set the communication parameter and you are ready to work). Ethernet connection is available through the external SICES MODBUS TCP/RTU GATEWAY. The device is designed and built for excellent measures performance. Both generator voltage and current measures are true RMS measures. Fast sampling rate alongside to special calculation algorithms yield good precision, linearity and immunity.
