This manual describes the functionality of the standard off-the-shelf MEGA-GUARD E-series
Power Management System (PMS).
The MEGA-GUARD E-series PMS is an innovative automation system that takes minimum
engineering time and minimum different types of modules to design a complete power plant
for various bus and generation types.
The MEGA-GUARD E-series PMS allows for engineering a complete power plant with
identical off-the-shelf PMS-sets for each power/generation connection. It does so by
configuring the specific usage and function of each PMS-set via standard menu options that
fulfill most -if not all- commonly required functionality and grids. In instances where special
functionality and/or signals are required -beyond the off-the-shelf PMS design- the standard
PMS-sets can be easily expanded with minimal additional engineering.
The MEGA-GUARD E-series PMS can be used as a stand-alone system with a RS485 multi-
drop serial link to a 3rd party Alarm & Monitoring System. It can also be integrated with other
MEGA-GUARD systems such as MEGA-GUARD Operator Workstation(s) for graphic
mimic plant representation or e.g. with MEGA-GUARD Alarm and Monitoring System.

2 PMS INTRODUCTION
The MEGA-GUARD Power Management System (PMS) is an advanced system that provides
the full automation of power plants with low or medium voltage switchboards.
The PMS is a modular system with one fully configurable PMS Controller for each
generation set or automatic bus-tie. With the standard pre-defined functionality -i.e. without
additional software engineering- there can be used maximum 9 PMS controllers to satisfy a
wide variety of grid configurations.
PMS functions include engine start/stop logic, sync check and auto synchronizing functions,
load sharing both active and re-active, frequency and voltage control, load block start
request/permissive handling and non preferential tripping.
One PMS Controller consists of a PMS Control Panel including a PMS I/O-module. The PMS
Controllers for each generation set are interconnected via a redundant Ethernet bus.
The PMS Controller can operate as a stand-alone independent generator controller as well as a
fully integrated part of a complex and fully automated power management system. This level
of autonomy ensures the highest level of reliability and availability of each generation set.
Each PMS controller measures and displays up to 15 system variables. The standard PMS
Controller can also be configured as controller for an Automatic Bus-Tie (ABT) or an
automatic Shore connection circuit-breaker.
The PMS Controller -also referred to as PMS-set- consists of the following electronic
modules that are interconnected with a special I/O-cable:
The main program for the generator control and power management is running in the PMS
Operator Panel executed by a powerful control processor. Two Ethernet ports maintain the
redundant communication with the other PMS Controllers e.g. for bus load calculations. The
control processor interfaces with the belonging PMS I/O board via a special I/O-cable with a
default length of 3 meter.
See paragraph 12.1 for the detailed hard-ware description of the PMS Operator Panel.
See paragraph 12.2 for the detailed hard-ware description of the PMS I/O module.

3.2 Alarm Display M
The red ALARM lamp indicates an active alarm in this PMS Controller. The lamp is steady on
when there is a critical alarm that is blocking start and close commands. First the alarm(s)
must be accepted with the ACK button -and the ALARM lamp must go OFF -or change to
flashing- to enable these commands again. The lamp is flashing slowly when there is an active
alarm that is not blocking start and close commands (e.g. blackout) or flashing fast when
there is a system alarm.
Pushing the ALARM button shows the Alarm display. The Alarm Display returns to the
Operation Display by pushing the ALARM button again, or automatically when no scrolling
takes place for more then 30 seconds.

START-UP / INITIAL CONFIGURATION
This chapter describes the usage of the menus and the PMS controller basic settings. These
basic settings could theoretically fulfill the configuration of a basic PMS due to the use of
relative (%) default settings for the functional parameterization. Refer to the next chapters for
the more detailed configuration of functions and options.
Observe basic safety rules before first power-up of the PMS Operator Panel(s) with
commissioning and e.g. service replacement, such as:
- Select Switchboard Local mode to prohibit any undesired controls until the PMS
controller is fully configured!
- Do not connect the Ethernet cables until after the controller number is set in the
boot loader menu (see 4.1) to avoid addressing conflicts and possible loss of
settings.
The first action with the panel first power-up must be the setting of the PMS controller
number. This setting is done in the boot loader menu that is accessed by pressing the ACK
button while connecting the 24Vdc power supply to the
panel. The controller is re-booted when the controller ACK. while Power-up
number is accepted (ACK) and stored in flash memory.

Operator Guide Power Management System
START-UP / INITIAL CONFIGURATION
The Bus No. is specified in relationship to the configured Plant Grid (see 4.3). If the controller function is that of
an ABT, the Bus number is that of the lowest connected bus.
If two ABT are connected in series, the Bus number -for both- is that of the lowest bus!
See example at grid type 4, par. 4.3
The PMS-controller current measurement is configured with the ratio of the current
transformer (CT). For example, a current transformer with 1000A:1A step-down ratio is
configured with ratio setting of 1000.
For switchboards with rated voltages above 690VAC, external voltage transformers (VT)
must be used for measuring -and limiting- bus/generator voltages. For example, a VT that
reduces 6kV to 230V is configured with the ratio setting 26.1 (6000/230).
The PMS IO-board voltage measurement is optimized for measurement ranges [110~440Vac]
or [590~690Vac]. The IO-board input voltage -for example 230Vac- is set so that the IO-
board can automatically select the corresponding calibrated measurement range (in this
example: calibrated range [110~440Vac] is automatically selected).
Observe that the jumpers on the PMS IO-module are positioned according the
set voltage range (see 12.6)!
The PMS current measurement is optimized for measurements ranges up to [1A] or [5A]. The
IO-board input current -for example 2A- is set so that the IO-board can automatically select
the corresponding calibrated measurement range (in this example: calibrated range [5A] is
automatically selected).
Observe that the jumpers on the PMS IO-module are positioned according the
set current range (see 12.6)!
Each diesel generator with the standby start enabled is part of the standby start sequence and
can be automatically started by a standby start request. See 8.2.
MEGA-GUARD Ship Automation and Navigation System
Operator Guide Power Management System
START-UP / INITIAL CONFIGURATION
The PMS IO-board detects and alarms incorrect connections of the generator and/or bus.
Following alarms are enabled when the diesel engine is running and delayed with a fixed time
of 10 seconds:
GEN PHASE ERROR(271) is alarmed when the generator voltage (connections) L1, L2, L3 are
falsely connected resulting in incorrect phase sequence.
GEN MISSING PHASE(272) is alarmed when the generator voltage (connections) L1 or L2 or
L3 are not connected or failed otherwise.
GEN FREQUENCY FAIL(273) is alarmed when the generator frequency drops below 70% of
nominal frequency.
Following alarms are enabled when a bus voltage (>20%) is measured and delayed with a
fixed time of 10 seconds:
BUS PHASE ERROR(274) is alarmed when the bus voltage (connections) L1, L2, L3 are
falsely connected resulting in incorrect phase sequence.
BUS MISSING PHASE(275) is alarmed when the bus voltage (connections) L1 or L2 or L3 are
not connected or failed otherwise.
BUS FREQUENCY FAIL(276) is alarmed when the bus frequency drops below 70% of
nominal frequency.
The IO-board Led indications VOLTAGE GENERATOR and VOLTAGE BUSBAR show the
above errors by fast flashing of the corresponding Led. Otherwise these Led’s show the
energized (on) -or not energized (off)- generator/bus status.

failed when the engine does not achieve the running status within the re-start delay that is
started at the end of the start pulse. In AUTO the start output will then be activated again and
this will be repeated until the number of start attempts is completed or until the engine
achieves the running status. In MANUAL there will only be performed one start attempt.
Described functionality and settings allow the PMS-set to directly operate an engine start

The lamp is flashing while synchronizing; on when the circuit-breaker is closed.
The close command (pushbutton or automatic) is accepted when the gen-set is running and
energized. If the bus is dead, the circuit-breaker will be directly closed. If the bus is energized,
this gen-set [D/G] or [E/G] will first be synchronized with the energized bus before closing the
circuit-breaker.
Each PMS-set has a dedicated SYNCHRONIZER that is integrated on the PMS I/O module.
The synchronizer controls the frequency of the gen-set to the frequency of the energized bus
before allowing the circuit-breaker to be closed when the bus/generator phase angle and the
voltage/frequency deviation is within the specified dead band. The synchronizer controls the
gen-set with raise/lower speed signals.
The synchronizer can be put in a test mode that allows visual verification of the synchronizer
conditions on the board LEDs without actually closing the circuit-circuit breaker (see 13.15).

If required by class society (see 2.4) an additional SYNC-CHECK RELAY is to be applied that
continuously monitors if the bus/generator phase angle and frequency variation are within a
second set of synchronizing settings *6 and that closes the output contact if these conditions are
fulfilled. This contact is to be connected in series with the synchronizer contact CB close

anyway or will remain closed for the operator to take the appropriate actions. This alarm must
first be reset before this gen-set can be started or loaded again.
CB OPEN FAILURE(215) is alarmed when the breaker is not actually opened after the open
command. In AUTO mode the gen-set is now controlled back to the average plant load to
avoid a reverse power situation. This alarm must first be reset before this gen-set can be
offloaded again (and open the circuit-breaker again).
The circuit-breaker can be tripped -i.e. opened without offloading- by the generator
protections (see 5.3) and by the following optional CB trip command input channels (only
active when the relevant input channel has been configured):
The circuit-breaker can also be tripped by external devices outside the PMS such as automatic
circuit breaker (ACB) or short-circuit protection device (S/C).

or when CB was opened by unknown cause.
CB TRIP EXT. COMMAND(228) is alarmed when any of the command inputs (14~17)

Any CB trip(ped) command results in the automatic tripping of all non-preferential groups
and -if option enabled (see 8.7)- results in the start of the next standby generator.
The gen-set [D/G] or [E/G] frequency is adjusted with the PMS operator panel INC/DEC

The increase/decrease frequency command is given with the PMS Operator Panel
INC. pushbuttons when in MANUAL mode, or automatically in AUTO mode.
The lamps are on while the corresponding button is pushed or while the

In MANUAL mode the pushbuttons will increase/decrease the gen-set speed and therewith
correspondingly increase/decrease the frequency and consequently increase/decrease the
(active) load.
In AUTO mode the pushbuttons can be used to adjust taking or shedding extra load on this
gen-set from the otherwise balanced shared load (see 8.1).

The emergency generator can be switched to harbour mode with an external key-switch. The
harbour mode is a semi-automatic mode. In this semi-automatic mode the generator must be
started/stopped/connected/disconnected by manual command while performing automatic
frequency and load control. The harbour mode allows the emergency generator to be
manually started and connected to fulfill the relative low load conditions when docked and
achieve higher fuel economy. The emergency generator harbour mode is indicated by the

7.12 Bus-Ties
Each PMS-set has the possibility for connecting the feedback closed status of the 2 adjacent
bus-ties. Only the bus-ties to adjacent buses can be configured, where input for BUS-TIE #A
connects to the lower/left adjacent bus and input for BUS-TIE #B connects to the higher/right
adjacent bus.
For example with type 5 grid configuration (see picture below); a PMS-set that e.g. belongs to
bus 1 can configure the feedback of the bus-tie connecting to bus 5 (designated: #A) and/or
the bus-tie connecting to bus 2 (designated: #B).

8 PLANT OPERATION
Plant automatic functions described in this chapter are only applicable for the PMS-sets that
are set in AUTO mode and which do not have unaccepted alarms blocking automatic
functions.
In AUTO mode the PMS-sets perform balanced load sharing by default. In this mode all
interconnected*7 gen-sets will be equally loaded as percentage of their capacity. Each PMS-set
load setpoint is calculated as the average load of all gen-set that are connected to the grid and
that are set in AUTO. Standard the PMS-set performs speed (frequency) control of the gen-
set [D/G] or [E/G] to perform active load sharing (i.e. percentage of capacity in kW).

In AUTO mode the operator can set/adjust a base load setpoint on a specific gen-set by using
the INC/DEC pushbuttons. This results in unbalanced load sharing mode until the base load
setpoint is reset. The base load setpoint -when set- is shown on the main operation display.
The base load is automatically reset when the bus load drops below the reset unbalanced
mode load level or after the preset time or when the gen-set is disconnected, stopped or put in
MANUAL. The operator can manually reset the unbalanced load setpoint by pushing the
INC+DEC pushbuttons simultaneous. Gen-sets will not be automatically stopped by low load

Each gen-set -with the standby start enabled (see 4.7)- is part of the standby start sequence
which means that the gen-set can be automatically started by a standby start request.
Each gen-set is assigned a sequence number that represents the order in which the gen-sets are
automatically connected by standby start requests. In a split bus operation the standby start
sequence is determined for each bus section.
1st. The gen-set that is ready to connect*9 with the lowest sequence number on the bus or
STBY on the split bus section will be first connected and is indicated with the 1ST STBY
pushbutton lamp on the operator panel.
2nd.
STBY Next gen-set that will be connected is indicated with the 2ND STBY pushbutton lamp.
The start sequence of each gen-set can be set by operating the 1ST STBY or 2ND STBY
pushbuttons. The gen-set where the 1ST STBY pushbutton is pressed becomes the next (first: if
no gen-sets are running) in the standby sequence. It does so by exchanging his sequence
number with the gen-set that otherwise would have been started next. The same functionality
-for altering the second gen-set in the start sequence- applies when operating the 2ND STBY
pushbutton. In split bus operation these buttons only affect the start sequence of the own bus
section. The start sequence can not be changed while any generator is starting/synchronizing
on the own bus.
The stop sequence is the reversed start sequence: the connected gen-set with the highest
sequence number will be first offloaded and disconnected when allowed by the low load
demand. The stop sequence of the connected gen-sets can be changed by pressing the button
1ST STBY which -in this connected case- makes this the first-to-stop. Note that this also alters
the start sequence of the other connected gen-sets.

ENGINE PRE-ALARM (204) is alarmed to attend the operator of the eminent engine failure. If
the gen-set was disconnected by the pre-alarm (see 7.8), this alarm must first be reset
-possible when the input is deactivated- before this gen-set can be started or connected again.
When there is not sufficient load available or generators running and preconfigured heavy
consumers are planned to be switched on the bus, the next standby gen-set(s) will be started
and connected before the specific heavy consumer is allowed to be connected to the bus.
The consumer activates the request input after which the spinning reserve and the number of
connected generators are checked against the configured requirements of the consumer. When
more generation is required, next standby generator(s) are started. The consumer block accept
output is activated when the requirements of the consumer block are fulfilled and the request
input is still active and after a set delay. The requests are processed in sequence from lowest
number to highest number if more then one heavy consumer is requested at the same time.
The accept output is reset when the number of connected gen-sets becomes too low or when

The high load limit and delay can be configured at which condition each non-preferential
group will be tripped. This allows groups to be tripped in predefined order. The non-
preferential group(s) will be tripped without any delay when there is a circuit-breaker tripped
on the corresponding bus. The non-preferential group(s) on the board will be tripped without
any delay when the programmable group trip input is activated. The trip output remains active

10 ALARMS
A RS485 multi-drop serial port is provided on each PMS Operator Panel that outputs the
alarms of each gen-set via a MODBUS-slave protocol (see 11).
Hard-wired common system alarms are required by most classification societies. These
signals are realized by connecting the Fail and Horn contact outputs of each PMS panel (see
12.5).

MODBUS SLAVE INTERFACE
A RS485 multi-drop serial port is provided on each PMS Operator Panel that outputs the
alarms and monitoring values of each gen-set via a MODBUS slave protocol and accepts
basic PMS commands.
The RS485 ports of all PMS Operator panels are connected parallel (see 12.5) as a RS485
multi-drop link to a host computer that operates as the MODBUS MASTER. The PMS
controllers are accessible by their MODBUS slave number (see 4.2). The host computer must
provide a galvanic isolation of its RS485 serial input port.
The Mega-Guard PMS system uses the Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) as the error check
for each message.
Detailed explanation of the MODBUS protocol can be found in the Gould Modicon Modbus
Protocol Reference Guide, Nov.'83, Gould Inc., Andover. Praxis Automation Technology can
supply you with a copy of the relevant pages.
● Function 03/04
Analog channels described in this chapter can be requested by MODBUS function
‘03’ or '04' (READ HOLDING/INPUT REGISTERS) to obtain the value of the analog
channel.
● Function 05
Specific Digital input channels (commands) described in this chapter can be forced
on/off by MODBUS function '05'.
Structures are sent according Motorola (MSB LSB or Big Endian) processor set.
The MSB and LSB are (two's complement) signed integers (PMS maximum range = -9999 till
9999).
Examples:
MEGA-GUARD Ship Automation and Navigation System
Operator Guide Power Management System
MODBUS SLAVE INTERFACE
The maximum allowed amount of data request by means of function”3”,”4” is 125 analog
values (2 bytes data).
Each PMS controller is addressed with its slave number (see 4.2).
The controller alarms and relevant statuses are requested with function 03 and send as
packed digital data. The digital data is packed in 5 words as described in 11.3.
The controller analog values are requested with function 04*1. The values are multiplied by a
scale factor for a better resolution since decimal points are not available in the used integer
range. To get the original decimal formatting the Modbus-master must scale the received data
with the scaling factor as is given in the Modbus list.
The alarms and other digital data are packed as indicated in below tables. The address and
function to request the specific packed words are indicated in the Modbus address list (see
11.2).
The PMS controller makes no difference between function requests 03 or 04.

It is possible to give basic PMS operator commands to each (slave) PMS controller through
the Modbus interface with function 05 and slave number (see 4.2).
According to the MODBUS protocol the requested ON/OFF state is specified by a constant in
the query data field: a value of FF 00 hex forces the ‘coil’ (i.e. command) to be ON; a value
of 00 00 forces the ‘coil’ to be OFF. All other values are illegal and will not affect the ‘coil’!
The commands must be pulsed -minimal for duration of 1 Modbus request- and are processed
with the same functions and conditions as the front pushbuttons.
Standard MODBUS error messages (exception responses) are returned on any illegal request.
Note: MODBUS points within the PMS range which refer to undefined -or spare- addresses
are still valid addresses and will return an undefined value.
The MODBUS query is processed at the end of each I/O scan cycle. The worst case delay is
one cycle time plus overhead of in total 95 milliseconds. The typical delay is half the cycle
time (ca. 50 milliseconds).
The RS485 ports of all PMS Operator panels are connected in multi-drop configuration (see
12.5) to a host computer that operates as the Modbus-master. The host computer must provide
a galvanic isolation of its RS485 serial input port.
