GEMPAC GAS Operator’s Manual
Table of contents
General purpose
This document is the Operator’s manual for Aggreko’s GEMPAC GAS. The document includes
general product information, display readings, push-button and LED functions, alarm handling
descriptions and presentation of the log list, also a complete alarm and parameter list.
This document also includes general product information, mounting instructions and wiring
descriptions, also instructions for setting, the governor, AVR and protections and check unit
adjustment. And general guidelines for commissioning the GEMPAC GAS
The general purpose of this document is to give the operator important information to be used in
the daily operation of the unit and understanding of the parameters. Also to help the user with
the first steps of installing and using the GEMPAC GAS system to supply general guidelines to
be used in the commissioning of the GEMPAC GAS
The purpose is also to provide guidance on how to handle new firmware (application software -
ASW) and new PC software (utility software - USW)
The GEMPAC GAS controller is tailored specifically for use with the Cummins MCM700 Gas
engine
Please make sure to read this documentation before working with the
GEMPAC GAS controller and the genset to be controlled. Failure to do this
could result in damage to the equipment or human injury.
Intended users
This Manual is mainly intended for the daily user, panel builder or the engineer responsible for
the commissioning of the unit. On the basis of this document, the operator will be able to carry
out simple procedures such as start/stop and control of the generator set. The parameter list is
mainly intended for the person responsible for the unit parameter setup. In most cases, this
would be a panel builder designer. Naturally, other users might also find useful information here.
Contents/overall structure
The document is divided into chapters, and in order to make the structure simple and easy to
use, each chapter will begin from the top of a new page.
The units are not to be opened by unauthorised personnel. If opened anyway, the
warranty will be lost.
Safety issues
Installing the unit implies work with dangerous currents and voltages. Therefore, the installation
should only be carried out by authorised personnel who understand the risks involved in working
with live electrical equipment.
Be aware of the hazardous live currents and voltages. Do not touch any AC
measurement inputs as this could lead to injury or death.
Definitions
Throughout this document a number of notes and warnings will be presented. To ensure that these
are noticed, they will be highlighted in order to separate them from the general text.
Notes
The notes provide general information which will be helpful for the reader to
bear in mind.
Warning
The image below shows the controller display which facilitates all genset operations and displays
all genset and engine parameters, alarms and status information.
The supplied display module differs slightly from the original GEMPAC, these
differences are explained below:
Alarms
Two LEDs show the status of alarms generated by either the GEMPAC GAS
controller or by the engine ECMs. When the top red LED (green in border) is flashing,
a GEMPAC GAS alarm has been generated and remains unacknowledged, when
LED is steady, the alarms have been acknowledged but are still active. The LED will
go off when all GEMPAC GAS generated alarms have been acknowledged and have
gone inactive.
The second LED (orange in border) flashes red when an alarm is read from the
ECMs. The LED remains flashing for as long as the ECM broadcasts the alarm
condition or the alarm has been acknowledged. When no alarms are broadcast the
LED goes off.
To view the alarms, press the ”GEN” button (green in border) for GEMPAC GAS generated
alarms or the ”ENG” button (orange in border) for ECM broadcast alarms. The option to
acknowledge GEMPAC GAS generated alarms is provided on the ”GEN” alarms screen or by
pressing the ”Alarm Reset” push-button on the panel door below the controller display.
In case of “Safety Wire Loop Alarm” (parameter 3440), the ECM require an 8
second “key-off” operation to reset the alarm, this is done automatically when
the panel-mounted “Alarm Reset” push-button is pressed.
Semi/Auto Control
GEMPAC GAS is designed to work primarily in one of two operating modes;
Semi-automatic or Automatic control.
To switch between semi-automatic and automatic control, simply press the
”SEMI” or ”AUTO” buttons respectively. Current mode of operation is defined by
the LED adjacent to the selection button.
Mode overview
The unit has two different running modes that can be selected directly at the display:
Auto
In auto mode the unit will operate automatically, and the operator cannot initiate any sequences
manually.
Semi-auto
In semi-auto mode, the operator has to initiate all sequences. This can be done via the push-
button functions, Modbus commands or digital inputs. When started in semi-automatic mode,
the genset will run at nominal values.
Test
The test sequence will start when the test mode is selected.
Manual
When manual mode is selected, the binary increase/decrease inputs can be used (if they have
been configured) as well as the start and stop push-buttons. When starting in manual mode, the
genset will start without any subsequent regulation.
Block
When the block mode is selected, the unit is not able to initiate any sequences, e.g. the start
sequence.
Block mode must be selected, when maintenance work is carried out on the
genset.
Start/Stop/GB Control
The genset is started by pressing the ”START” button. The genset will then go through a start
prepare sequence which oil primes the engine (up to 2 minutes if first time after power cycle)
then cranks the engine to start. Note; the engine will run at idle speed if the engine oil
temperature is at or below 40°C after which it will run up to full speed. The ”Run” LED indicates
the generator is running at the requested speed, the f/U LED indicates that frequency and
voltage is within control limits.
If GEMPAC GAS is in ”AUTO” mode, the genset will continue to automatically match volts and
Hz before closing the GB without further operator instruction. To stop the genset in ”AUTO”
mode press the ”STOP” button, this will initiate the deload sequence before opening the GB and
bringing the genset to a stop after the cool down timer has elapsed.
If the “STOP” button is pressed in “SEMI” mode with the genset under full
load, an emergency stop ‘hot shutdown’ will result.
GEMPAC GAS has the facility for mains breaker (MB) control,
the LED ”ON” shown as always closed when back-feed or utility
supply is detected in ”FIXED POWER” mode.
Logs
To interrogate the system logs press the ”LOG” button, then it is possible to
shifts the display 3 lower lines to show the event and alarm list. The list holds
150 events. These events are deleted when the GEMPAC GAS is switched off.
System Navigation
The buttons shown to the right are used for system navigation.
SEL: Selects the underscored entry in the fourth line of the display.
: Decreases the value of the selected setpoint (in the setup menu). In the daily
use display, this button function is used for scrolling the second line displaying
of generator values.
BACK: Jumps one step backwards in the menu (to previous display or to the entry
window).
The ”BACK” button simply retraces steps through the menus until the main menu level. On the
main menu there are four options available on the fourth line of the LCD display; [SETUP] [V3]
[V2] and [V1], these can be accessed by moving the cursor (underscore) using the left and right
arrow keys to the desired option.
The ”JUMP” button allows direct access to any menu in the controller. All settings have a
specific number attached to them. The JUMP button enables the user to select and display any
setting without having to navigate through the menus.
LED functions
The display unit holds 12 LED functions. The colour is green, red or amber. The display LEDs
are indicated as follows:
Mains OK:
LED is green if the mains is present and OK.
LED is red at a mains failure.
LED is flashing green when the mains
returns during the ‘mains OK delay’ time.
LCD display
The display is a backlit LCD text display containing 4 lines with 20 characters in each line. There
is no control of the display light intensity (no dimmer). Basically, all measured and calculated
values can be read in the display. These may be selected via the PC utility software (USW).
Menu structure
The display includes two menu systems which can be used without password entry:
Entry window
When the unit is powered up, an entry window appears. The entry window is the turning point in
the menu structure and as such the gateway to the other menus. It can always be reached by
pushing the BACK push-button 3 times.
The event and alarm list will appear at power up if an alarm is present.
. The view menus (V3, V2 and V1) are the daily use menus for the operator, were
various measured values are on display.
The cursor is moved using the and push-buttons on the right side of the display.
View window 1
V1 contains up to 36 different windows which can be selected using the and push-
buttons located on the right hand side of the display.
View window 2
Display of measured values according to the selections made during configuration.
View window 3
Display of measured values according to the selections made during configuration. The V3 display
changes with running modes and changes automatically between the views e.g. start prepare,
synchronising and ramp up/down

Programming
The programming of the AOP-2 is made with the PC utility software.
Please refer to the Help function in the PC utility software for instructions regarding the
programming.
Error handling
Duplicate CAN ID
DU-2:
If two units on the CANbus have the same CAN ID, the following will be displayed:
When SEL is pressed, the CAN ID change menu will be displayed and another CAN ID can be
selected for the unit.
AOP-2:
If two units on the CANbus have the same CAN ID, LED no. 1 to 4 will flash quickly. In this case
press button no. 6 to jump into the CAN ID change menu and select another CAN ID for the unit.
Alarm handling
When an alarm occurs, the unit will automatically go to the alarm list for display of the alarm.
If reading of the alarms is not desired, use the BACK push-button to exit the alarm list.
If you decide to enter the alarm list later, use the GEN or ENG push-button to jump directly to the
alarm list reading, depending on what alarm type that is present.
The alarm list contains both acknowledged and unacknowledged alarms provided that they are
still active (i.e. the alarm condition is still present). Once an alarm is acknowledged and the
condition has disappeared, the alarm will no longer be displayed in the alarm list.
This means that if there are no alarms, the alarm list will be empty.

Step by step
The illustration below indicates the overall steps to be followed in order to carry out a successful
commissioning of the GEMPAC GAS unit.
Step 5 Adjustment
Settings check
It is necessary to perform a settings check. This is done in the following five individual steps:
The above-mentioned settings must be checked and adjusted prior to the initial starting of the
genset.
The settings can be adjusted either through the display or through the PC utility
software.
Nominal values
The nominal values of the GEMPAC GAS are adjusted in the general part of the system setup
menu.
In the PC utility software, it is presented as illustrated on the above screen dump. The correct
values are supplied by the switchboard manufacturer.
Alarm settings
The alarm settings are adjusted in the protection setup menu.
In the PC utility software, it is presented as illustrated on the screen dump above or similar. The
actual alarm parameters are adjusted according to customer requirements and application
requirements.
In the screen dump above, only some of the settings are illustrated. Since the function control
settings include parameters for the entire functionality of the GEMPAC GAS, they must be stepped
through carefully. The function control settings are adjusted according to the desired unit control.
Synchronisation settings
The GEMPAC GAS synchronisation settings are adjusted in the synchronisation part of the control
setup menu.
The screen dump below illustrates the controller settings related to the speed governor. As an initial
setting before the first start up, the Kp of the frequency and power controllers are set to a low value
giving a slow regulation.
Analogue controller
As an initial setting before the first start up, the Kp, Ti and Td of the frequency and power
controllers are set to a value giving a slow regulation. This means that Kp and Td should be set to a
low value, and Ti should be set to a high value.
The screen dump above illustrates the controller settings of the voltage and reactive power
controller. As an initial setting before the first start up, the Kp of the voltage and reactive power
controllers are set to a low value giving a slow regulation.
Analogue controller
As an initial setting before the first start up, the Kp, Ti and Td of the frequency and power
controllers are set to a value giving a slow regulation. This means that Kp and Td should be set to a
low value, and Ti should be set to a high value.
Governor check
Even if the engine manufacturer has adjusted the governor, it is necessary to carry out the
following adjustments to be sure that the GEMPAC GAS can successfully operate with the
speed governor.
Speed setting
Putting the GEMPAC GAS in manual operation, this can be done via the M-Logic, MAN,
disables the control function. This will ”disable” the control outputs, but the generator protection
is still active. If you fail to do this, you may experience control problems later on.
Speed droop
The speed governor must have a speed droop of 3-4% (speed dropping 3-4% from no load to
full load, when the GEMPAC GAS is not in control). In order to ensure equal load sharing on
parallel running machines, all governors must have the same droop setting.
AGGREKO recommends adjusting the speed droop on the speed governor for
stability purposes.
Speed range
The necessary speed range must be selected, so it is possible to operate at full load. Typically,
this is fNOM + 3 Hz. If the speed range is too high
The speed range must allow for the full load of the genset.
AVR check
Even if the AVR is adjusted by the genset manufacturer, it is necessary to go through the
following adjustments in order to be sure that the GEMPAC GAS can operate with the AVR.
Voltage setting
Analogue output
The analogue output is a +/-25mA signal. Given the fact that especially the AVRs are sensitive
to the external circuit impedance, it is essential to carry out the initial setting of the AVR while the
GEMPAC GAS is connected and the control function disabled.
Putting the GEMPAC GAS in manual operation, this can be done via the M-Logic, MAN,
disables the control function. This will ”disable” the control outputs, but the generator protection
is still active. If you fail to do this, you may experience control problems later on.
Voltage droop
The AVR controls the generator voltage in a way which is comparable to the speed governor
controlling the prime mover speed.
This means that the generator AVR must have a voltage droop of 3-4% (voltage dropping 3-4%
from no load to full reactive load when the GEMPAC GAS has no control). In order to ensure
equal VAr sharing on parallel running generators, all generators must have the same voltage
droop setting.
Voltage range
When using analogue interfacing, the resistor installed across the output terminals is selected to
obtain the necessary speed range. The voltage range must be defined similar to the speed
range for the governor.
The voltage range must be wide enough for the voltage droop and for the full loading of the
genset. A typical value is +/-10% * UNOM. The necessary control signal level is often specified
depending on the AVR type.
Protections check
As a part of the commissioning the protections should be checked.
• Alarm setpoint
• Alarm delay
• Relay output
• Activation
• Fail class
• Inhibits
Considerations
Several issues must be taken into consideration when doing the configuration of the alarms.
These are e.g. national rules and requirements, additionally installed protection equipment,
required use of the protections (trip of non-essential load, breaker tripping and engine stopping).
The switchboard manufacturer and the end customer must take these considerations.
In the “commissioning” field above, the horizontal blue line indicates the
elapsed time since the alarm setpoint was exceeded. In this example the
generator reverse power setpoint is -5%. If the commissioning is done without
the PC utility software, then the timers can be seen in the service menu 9120.
Adjustment
The adjustment of the unit can be carried out when the initial settings of the governor and the AVR
are made.
The controller of the unit is a PID controller. The unit includes different controllers which must be
tuned in at the correct running situations (see the table below):
Start by tuning in the KP factor, and then tune in the Td and Ti. Normally, the controllers are
tuned in following a few general rules as given below.
To see the effect of the new adjustments when tuning in the GEMPAC GAS,
remember to make a regulation deviation, e.g. by applying a load jump.
This function can be activated by pressing more than 2 seconds, or by activating the digital
inputs or AOP buttons for governor or AVR control in semi-auto mode. The intention of this
function is to give the commissioning engineer a helpful tool for adjustment of the regulation.
G 0 0 0V
f-U Setp 100% 100%
f-U Reg. 50% 60%
GOV AVR
Semi mode
As in manual mode, the up and down arrows have the same function as the digital inputs or
AOP buttons for governor or AVR control when the window is open.
The value setup can be changed by pressing the arrow up or down. When GOV is underlined,
the governor setpoint will be changed, and vice versa when the AVR is underlined. When
changing the setpoint value, an offset will be added to or subtracted from the nominal value. The
reg. value is the output value from the regulator. If the genset is running in parallel, the active or
reactive nominal power setpoint value will be changed. If it is a stand-alone genset not parallel to
the mains, the nominal frequency or voltage setpoint will be changed and also displayed. When
the ”back” button is activated, the regulation setpoint returns to nominal.
As indicated, 2-3 ”overshoots” before stabilising after a sudden change is OK. If more
”overshoots” are present, then decrease the KP factor and try again.
Password
The unit includes three password levels. All levels can be adjusted in the PC software.
A parameter cannot be entered with a too low ranking password. But the settings can be
displayed without password entry.
Parameter access
To gain access to adjust the parameters, the password level must be entered:
If the password level is not entered, it is not possible to enter the parameters.
The factory passwords must be changed, if the operator of the genset is not
allowed to change the parameters.
It is not possible to change the password at a higher level than the password
entered.
Troubleshooting
This chapter deals with the procedure to be followed when the parameters of the unit are set up
from the initial point of finding the individual parameter description in this document to the actual
setup. By use of various illustrations the following will guide the user through the whole procedure
for parameter setup step by step.
Find the individual parameter title in the Alarm table page 62 and 63 or the parameter list at page
98 and 99.
In the alarm and parameter lists, you will find the page location of the parameter
description you are looking for.
Parameter descriptions
In chapter 12, each parameter description is structured according to the same principles. Under the
parameter title heading, the detailed parameter descriptions are illustrated and presented. First, a
table indicating the parameter facts related to the individual parameter title is presented:
1000 G -P>
No. Setting Min. setting Max. setting Factory
setting
1001 G -P> Setpoint -50.0% 0.0% -5.0%
1002 G -P> Delay 0.1 s 100.0 s 10.0 s
1003 G -P> Relay output A Not used R3 Not used
(relay 3)
1004 G -P> Relay output B Not used R3 Not used
(relay 3)
1005 G -P> Enable OFF ON ON
1006 G -P> Fail class 1 5 3
Small differences due to the character of the parameters may exist between the
individual tables.
The third and fourth columns indicate the minimum/maximum setpoint available for this setting.
The fifth column indicates the default setpoint of the unit from the factory. When it is necessary,
additional information will be supplied after the table in order to make the individual parameter
descriptions as informative as possible.
Setup
At this point of the process, you will have located the specific parameter description that you were
looking for. Now, follow the menu structure presented earlier in this handbook in order to set up the
individual parameters. (In this overall example we have chosen to change the setpoint of the
parameter 1000 G -P>).
Step 1: Enter the ”setup” menu via SETUP in the fourth display line in the entry window
Step 2: Enter the ”protection” menu via PROT in the fourth display line in the setup menu
Step 3: Use the and push-buttons to locate the selected parameter
Step 4: Enter the ”setpoint” menu via SP in the fourth display line
Step 5: Enter password to change the setpoint
Step 6: Use the and push-buttons to increase/decrease the setpoint setting
Step 7: Move the ”underscore” to save and press SEL, the new setpoint setting has now
been saved.
This chapter includes a complete alarm list, including all Engine alarms. Therefore, this chapter
is to be used for reference when specific information about the individual parameters is needed
for the unit setup. An overview list can be seen on the next page.
Setpoint: The alarm setpoint is adjusted in the setpoint menu. The setting is a percentage
of the nominal values.
Delay: The timer setting is the time that must expire from the alarm level is reached
until the alarm occurs.
Enable: The alarm can be activated or deactivated. ON means always activated, RUN
means that the alarm has run status. This means it is activated when the
running signal is present.
Fail class: When the alarm occurs the unit will react depending on the selected fail class.
Small differences due to the character of the parameters may exist between the
individual tables.
