GC315 - Controller for AMF Genset

Product catalog summary

Overview
The document describes the Automatic Mains Failure (AMF) microprocessor-based genset controller, suitable for ATS+AMF genset applications. It is available in three versions: GC315, GC315 Plus, and GC315 Link, each offering various features for remote control and monitoring of generator sets.

Specifications
- True RMS readings for generator and mains voltages and currents, including neutral measurement.
- Measurement capabilities for active, reactive, and apparent power, as well as frequency and power on mains input.
- Engine speed measurement options include frequency, pick-up, or W.
- Inputs and outputs: 8+1+4 inputs and 8 outputs (6 programmable).
- Additional current measurement for neutral or ground fault protection.
- Graphic display with adjustable contrast based on temperature.
- Multiple communication interfaces: USB, RS232, RS485, Ethernet, and GPRS Modem.
- Real-time clock with rechargeable battery and event/data logging.

Features
- Designed for electronic engines with CAN interface J1939 protocol, also compatible with traditional engines with sensors.
- Adjustable parameters via free software tool (BoardPrg) or directly through the controller's keyboard.
- Self-adjustable graphic display for easy visualization of measures and alarms.
- Supports several communication devices/tools for local or remote control.
- Direct interface with SI.MO.NE software for real-time monitoring.

Protection and Safety
- Engine protections include fuel reserve, battery failure, oil pressure, engine temperature, and more.
- Generator protections cover underfrequency, overfrequency, undervoltage, overvoltage, and others.
- Mains protections include voltage and frequency limits and mains failure.
- Additional programmable digital and analog inputs/outputs available.

Technical Specifications
- Supply voltage: 7-32 Vdc, power consumption typically less than 2W.
- Operating frequency: 50Hz or 60Hz, voltage measurement range: 30-520V L-L.
- Operating temperature: -25°C to +60°C, with a tropicalized version available.
- Protection degree: IP65, weight: 600g, dimensions: 247x187x40 mm.
- Compliance with EMC and safety standards.

Additional Options
- Tropicalized version for harsh environments.
- Various communication and interface options for enhanced connectivity and monitoring.

Automatic Mains Failure microprocessor genset controller for managing the most common three-phases generator applications (Single Prime Mover and Single Stand-by gensets). GC315 is designed for electronic engines with CAN interface J1939 protocol (available in GC315Plus and GC315Link). These controllers can be used also for traditional engines with sensors (MPU). The adjustable parameters of the controller allow the use of this device for standard and customized tasks. Parameters are programmed using the free software tool (BoardPrg), which can be download thorough Sices web site. It’s even possible...
