Product catalog summary
Overview: The document describes the GC600 and GC600 Mains, powerful dual processor-based controllers designed for managing production or emergency power plants composed of gensets working in parallel with each other and/or with the mains. These controllers are equipped with a graphic color display and include PLC functions, supporting both CANBUS J1939 electronic engines and traditional engines with digital/analogue sensors.
Specifications: The controllers feature a 4.3’’ TFT display, multiple configurable digital and analogue inputs/outputs, and various communication ports including MODBUS RTU, Ethernet, and USB. They offer comprehensive measurement capabilities for voltage, current, frequency, power, and engine speed. The controllers are designed with a high protection degree (IP65) and are suitable for a wide range of operating temperatures.
Functionalities: The GC600 series supports synchro/parallel applications, automatic start/stop based on load demand, and smart load management to optimize fuel and power usage. They include a PLC with PID blocks for customized logic, eliminating the need for external PLCs. The controllers also provide extensive event logging and data storage capabilities.
Communication and Interface: The controllers offer multiple communication options, including RS232, RS485, Ethernet, and CANBUS interfaces, with future support for Wi-Fi. They are compatible with the SI.MO.NE remote supervision system for enhanced monitoring and control.
Protection and Safety: The GC600 series includes numerous protection features such as over/under voltage and frequency protection, phase sequence, ground fault protection, and dynamic mains support. They also feature an integrated hardware watchdog for microprocessor failure alerts.
Applications: The GC600 is recommended for multiple gensets working in parallel and load-sharing systems, while the GC600 Mains is ideal for managing gensets in parallel with the mains, particularly in CHP plants. Both versions support electronic CAN J1939 and traditional MPU engines.
Additional Features: The controllers support remote firmware updates, SMS communication, and have a real-time clock with an internal rechargeable battery. They also offer programmable parameters and PLC logic settings via a free software tool.
