NOTE:
This type of paragraph calls readers’ attention to a notice or related theme.
CAUTION!
This type of paragraph highlights a procedure, adjustment, etc. which may cause damage or improper
functioning of the equipment if not carried out correctly and may not be clear at first sight.
WARNING!
This type of paragraph indicates things, procedures, adjustments, etc. which demand a high level of
attention, otherwise personal injury or death may occur.
The following described machine complies with the appropriate basic safety and
health requirement of the EC Low Voltage Directive No: 73/23 / EEC and EC
Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 89/336 / EEC based on its design and type,
as brought into circulation by us.
Easy-to-use operation and installation. The factory default configuration covers most
applications
Various customizations are possible thanks to its configurability
Excellent remote communication capabilities
High level of support for EFI engines (most world producers)
High reliability
The firmware of InteliCompactNT contains a large number of binary inputs and outputs needed for all
necessary functions available. However, not all functions are required at the same time on the same
gen-set and also the controller hardware does not have so many input and output terminals. One of
the main tasks of the configuration is mapping of “logical” firmware inputs and outputs to the “physical”
hardware inputs and outputs.
Configuration parts:
1. Mapping of logical binary inputs (functions) or assigning alarms to physical binary input
terminals
2. Mapping of logical binary outputs (functions) to physical binary output terminals
3. Assigning sensor characteristics and alarms to analog inputs
4. Assigning control values and output characteristics to analog outputs
5. Selection of peripheral modules which are connected to the controller and doing the same as
the above for them
6. Selection of ECU type if an ECU is connected
7. Changing the language of the controller interface
CONFIGURATION OF
BINARY INPUTS AND
OUTPUTS
CONTROLLER
Physical output terminals
PRINCIPLE OF BINARY INPUTS AND OUTPUTS CONFIGURATION
The controller is shipped with a default configuration, which should be suitable for most standard
applications. This default configuration can be changed only by using a PC with the LiteEdit software.
See LiteEdit documentation for details.
NOTE:
You need one of communication modules to connect the controller to a PC with LiteEdit. There is a
special easy removable service module for cases when no communication module is permanently
attached.
Once the configuration is modified, it can be saved to a file for later usage with another controller or for
backup purposes. The file is called archive and has the file extension .aic. An archive contains a full
image of the controller at the time of saving (if the controller is online for the PC) except the firmware.
Besides configuration it also contains current adjustment of all setpoints, all measured values, a copy
of the history log and a copy of the alarm list.
The archive can be simply used for cloning controllers, i.e. preparing controllers with identical
configuration and settings.

3.5 General
To ensure proper function:
Use grounding terminals.
Wiring for binary inputs and analog inputs must not be run with power cables.
Analog and binary inputs should use shielded cables, especially when the length is more than
3 m.
3.7 Grounding
The shortest possible piece of wire should be used for controller grounding. Use cable min. 2.5 mm2.
A brass M4x10 screw with star washer securing ring type grounding terminal shall be used.
The negative “-” battery terminal must be properly grounded.
Switchboard and engine must be grounded at a common point. Use as short a cable as
possible to the grounding point.

12 VDC Battery
The capacitor size depends on the required time. It shall be approximately in the thousands of
microfarads.
The capacitor size should be 5000 microfarad to withstand a 150 ms voltage dip under the following
conditions:
Voltage before dip is 12 V, after 150 ms the voltage recovers to the min. allowed voltage, i.e. 8 V.
HINT:
Before the battery is discharged the message "Low BackupBatt" appears.

12 VDC Battery
The I-LBA module ensures a min. 350 ms voltage dip under following conditions:
Communication and extension plug-in modules are connected.
Voltage before dip is 12 V and after 350 ms the voltage recovers to the min. allowed voltage
5 V.
The I-LBA enables controller operation from 5 V DC (for 10 to 30 seconds).
The wiring resistance from the battery should be up to 0.1 Ω for proper function of the I-LBA.
HINT:
I-LBA may not eliminate voltage drop when used with the low temperature (-40 °C) version of the
controller and the display heating element is on (below 5 °C). The current drain of the heating element
exhausts LBA capacitors very fast.

CAUTION:
W HEN YOU ARE USING INTELICOMPACTNT HW VERSION 1.3 OR NEWER IT IS NECESSARY TO UPGRADE THE
FIRMWARE TO IC-NT-1.4.3 OR NEWER.
Since HW version 1.3 the InteliCompactNT measures current with reversed polarity. It is not
recommended to switch wiring at the current transformer side. To fix this error use FW IC-NT-1.4.3 or
newer.
3.10.1 Pickup
A magnetic speed sensor (pickup) is the most common method of engine speed measurement. To
use this method, mount the pickup opposite to the engine flywheel, connect the cable to the controller
as shown on the picture below and adjust the setpoint Gear Teeth according to the number of teeth on
the flywheel.
See the chapter Technical data for details about the pickup input parameters.

D+ and W terminals from the charging alternator can be used as additional signals
for detection of running engine.
Voltage on the D+ input is higher than 80% of battery voltage. Connect this input to the D+ (L)
terminal of the charging alternator and enable the D+ function by the setpoint D+ Function. If
D+ terminal is not available, leave the input unconnected and disable the function.
The pickup is not used and frequency is detected on the pickup input. Connect the pickup
input to the W terminal of the charging alternator if you do not use pickup and the W terminal
is available. If not, leave the input unconnected.
NOTE:
The starter cut-off frequency has to be adjusted by the setpoint Start W Freq. If you know the charging
alternator nominal frequency, adjust the setpoint to the frequency obtained from following equation:
"𝑆𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑅𝑃𝑀"
𝑓cutoff = 𝑓nom ∙ ( )
"𝑁𝑜𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝑅𝑃𝑀"
If you do not know the charging alternator nominal frequency, follow this procedure:
1) Make sure that the starting accumulator is fully charged.
2) Close a fuel valve manually to disable the engine from being started.
Oil pressure > Starting Oil P setpoint. The oil pressure is evaluated from the analog input 1 or
from the ECU if an ECU is configured.
At least one phase of generator voltage is >20% of nominal voltage.
These signals are used during start for powering down the starter motor even if still no RPM is
measured and also during stop in order to evaluate if the engine is really stopped.

In the case of grounded sensors, connect the AI COM terminal to the engine body as near to
the sensors as possible.
In the case of isolated sensors, connect the AI COM terminal to the negative power supply
terminal of the controller as well as the opposite poles of the sensors.
NOTE:
The fail sensor alarm is issued if the measured resistance is smaller than one half of the first (lowest)
point of the sensor curve characteristic or is greater than 112.5% of the last (highest) point of the
sensor curve characteristic.
NOTE:
Analog inputs are typically used for: Oil Pressure, Water Temperature and Fuel Level. All of these
parameters are connected with relevant protections.
Protection of Oil Pressure and the relevant condition of a running engine is joined with AI01 only if:
- the ECU is not configured
- the ECU is configured and the AI01 is set to Alarm + ECU.

It is possible to use either a motorized circuit breaker or contactor. Below is a list of available control
outputs that should fit all types of contactors or breakers. The following rules must be kept to when
designing the wiring of power switches:
The control outputs must be configured and wiring of the power switches must be provided in
such a way, that the controller has full control over the breakers – i.e. the controller can open
and close the breaker at any time.
The breaker must respond within max. 2 seconds to a close and open command. Special
attention should be paid to opening of motorized circuit breakers, as it could take more than 2
seconds on some types. In such cases it is necessary to use an undervoltage coil for fast
opening.
The breaker feedback functions must be configured onto some binary inputs and the signals
from the breakers must be connected to it and provide reliable information about the breaker
position.
An output giving a 2 second pulse in the moment the breaker has to be closed. The
ON coil
output is intended for control of close coils of circuit breakers.
An output giving a pulse in the moment the breaker has to be opened. The pulse
OFF coil lasts until the feedback deactivates, but at least for 2 seconds. The output is
intended for control of open coils of circuit breakers.
The output is active the whole time the gen-set is running (GCB, not in idle or
cooling) or the controller is switched on (MCB). The output is deactivated for at
UV coil
least 2 seconds in the moment the breaker has to be switched off. The output is
intended for control of undervoltage coils of circuit breakers.

The Vext input (connector CN1 – terminals 10 and 11) permits analog remote control of output voltage with a
programmable variation range of up to ±10% (parameter 16, by default the setting is ±5%) with respect to the
value set. If you want to use continuous voltage, it will be effective if it is in the range between 0 V and
+2.5 V. The input tolerates voltages from -5 V to +5 V, but for values exceeding the limits of 0 V / +2.5 V (or
in the event of disconnection) it is automatically disabled and the voltage adjustment goes back to the value
set through the trimmer (if enabled) or through parameter 19 (as shown on the picture).
Changing the DSR parameters requires a PC with dedicated software and a DI1-DSR unit!
DSR automatically detects the presence of a transformer for parallel operation (if used it works with droop, if
not used then it works isochronous).

characteristic (positive or negative) can be selected by the setpoint Speed Gov Char.
The active range of the output can be adapted to the governor input range by setpoints
SpeedGovLowLim and SpeedGovHiLim.
NOTE:
Some governors may evaluate input voltage out of the allowed range as a faulty condition and their
functioning may be blocked.

3.19.1 IGS-PTM
The IGS-PTM is a DIN Rail mounted extension module that is connected to the controller via a CAN1
bus. The module contains:
8 binary inputs with the same properties and configuration as binary inputs of the controller.
8 binary outputs with the same properties and configuration as binary outputs of the controller.
4 analog inputs with selectable electrical range by a jumper: 0–250 Ω, 0–100 mV, 0–20 mA,
suitable for Pt100 and thermocouple sensors
NOTE:
The controller selection jumper (iS/iG) must be in the iG position for using the module with the
InteliCompactNT.
A separate manual for the IGS-PTM module is available for download on the ComAp web site
The siren is activated automatically if a new yellow or red LED switches on, the duration is adjustable
and it can be silenced by pressing the horn reset button. In the controller the LEDs are configured like
binary outputs, so all binary output functions can be used to drive the LEDs.
NOTE:
THE ADDRESS SELECTION JUMPERS MUST BE IN THE IG POSITION FOR USING THE MODULE WITH THE
INTELICOMPACTNT.

To insert the module, you must open the cover first (use a screwdriver to open) and then insert the
module into the slot. Once you have inserted it, the module will snap under the plastic teeth. It is
supposed to be installed permanently. Should you need to remove it, the safest way is to remove the
entire back cover and then remove the module manually. Installing the IC-NT CT-BIO7 module is
similar to installing the RS 232 module. The difference is that module fits into the “extension module”
slot and after installing the IC-NT CT-BIO7 you do not put the small cover back.

WARNING
SMS Commands
To control the gen-set equipped with InteliCompactNT controller and IL-NT GPRS communication
module (or modem) via SMS requests, send an SMS in the structure of:
# xxxx, yyyy, zzzz, etc.
to the telephone number of the SIM card in your IL-NT-GPRS module (or modem). Where the “#” mark
means the controller access code, “xxxx” means the Command 1, “yyyy” is Command 2, “zzzz” is
Command 3, etc.
Example:
When the controller, in AUT mode, with a controller name of “IC-NT-Test”, with the IL-NT
GPRS module and access code “0” receives the SMS:
0 man, start, d10, gcb close, d300, gcb open, d30, stop, d30, aut
the mode will be changed to MANUAL. The engine will be started and after 10 s the
controller will start the synchronization process and the GCB will close. After 300 s (from
the point of starting synchronization) the GCB will open (after the “GCB Opens Del”
setpoint), the engine will stop with a 30 s delay and it will go into AUT mode.
#IC-NT-Test:
man<OK>,start<OK>,d_ok,gcb_close<OK>,d_ok,
gcb_open<OK>,d_ok,stop<OK>,d_ok,aut<OK>
Event SMS
The InteliCompactNT controller equipped with the IL-NT GPRS communication module is able to send
Event SMS according to the setting in the SMS/Email setpoint group:

1. First you need the requested firmware. Firmware of standard branch and major versions are
distributed and installed together with the LiteEdit installation package. Release versions and
branches are distributed as import packages that need to be imported into LiteEdit.
2. The latest installation and/or import packages are available for download at www.comap.cz.
Please register to get access to the download page. Registration is free.
3. The import package is a file with the IWE extension. To perform the import, start LiteEdit, do
not open any connections, go to Options -> Import firmware and select the appropriate file.
4. Create an online connection to the controller and save the archive for backup purposes.
NOTE:
It is not possible to update firmware when the connection is offline!
5. Go to the menu Controller -> Programming and cloning -> Programming, select the
appropriate firmware and press the OK button.
6. The selected firmware will be programmed into your controller.
CAUTION!
The configuration reverts to the default after firmware has been programmed. You must re-program
the configuration if the default one is not appropriate for your application!
CAUTION!
Also some setpoints may have incorrect values after new firmware was programmed. Please check all
setpoints after programming.
1. Disconnect the power supply from the controller, insert a communication module and close the
boot-jumper.
2. Connect the proper communication cable between the controller and PC.
3. Start LiteEdit and open an online connection according to the module used. Select controller
address 1. Wait until the bottom line of LiteEdit shows a red line with the text "DDE server:
Error".
4. Go to the menu Controller -> Programming and cloning -> Programming, select the
appropriate firmware and press the OK button.

WARNING!
Some parts of the generator, engine and switchboard may carry dangerous voltage which can cause
injury or death when touched!
WARNING!
Rotating parts of the gen-set can catch hair or clothing and cause serious injury.
1. Disconnect the binary outputs from the controller before connecting the power supply. If you
have an SPtM application, be sure that the MCB and GCB are protected against accidental
switching when you are working in the switchboard.
2. Check the controller configuration according to the wiring diagram of the switchboard. If the
configuration has been modified, write it to the controller
3. Write all setpoints from the default archive and then go through them and readjust all of them
if it is necessary. Pay special attention to nominal values, overspeed, gear teeth, fuel solenoid
and CT ratio.
4. Check all settings regarding speed sensing and additional running information, especially if
you do not use a pickup for speed sensing.
5. Adjust bias setpoints for the governor and AVRi output to the recommended levels and adjust
all delays for generator protections to high values to have enough time for making adjustments
on a running gen-set.
6. Connect the binary outputs back.
7. Adjust all setpoints related to engine start and stabilization phase, then start the gen-set in
MAN mode and then make fine readjustments.
8. Leave the gen-set running and adjust the governor and/or AVRi so that the gen-set will have a
speed and voltage near to the nominal values. If it is not possible to achieve this by turning the
trim on the AVRi and/or governor, you can also slightly change the bias setpoints.
NOTE:
The bias setpoints must not be near the limits for the particular output, because the regulation
loops need sufficient reserve of the output range on both sides to work correctly.
9. Adjust all generator and engine protections according to your needs including the delays.
10. Adjust the setpoint Phase Window to 0. This adjustment will disable issuing of the GCB close
command during synchronization, but the synchronization itself will be performed normally for
the whole adjusted time.
11. Press the GCB button to start the synchronizing. Then, using a voltmeter connected directly
over the contactor, check if the synchroscope indication on the controller screen matches the
voltage. The voltage must be near to 0V when the synchroscope is in a 12 o'clock position
and near to 2*Unominal when it is in a 6 o'clock position. Check all three phases.
OPEN V
O I
OPEN V
O I
12. Adjust the setpoint Phase Window back to your desired value (typically 3–7°).
13. Synchronize the gen-set with the mains or other gen-sets. Adjust the setpoints for voltage,
frequency and angle regulation loops to achieve fast and reliable synchronization.
14. Adjust the setpoints for power, power factor, load-sharing and VARsharing loops.
15. Check the rest of the setpoints and then save the archive to disk for backup purposes.

NOTE:
The mode cannot be changed if Access Lock input is active.
The following binary inputs can be used to force one respective operating mode independent of the
mode setpoint selection:
Remote OFF
Remote MAN
Remote AUT
Remote TEST
Rem TEST OnLd
If the respective input is active the controller will change the mode to the respective position according
to the active input. If multiple inputs are active, the mode will be changed according to priorities of the
inputs. The priorities match the order in the list above. If all inputs are deactivated, the mode will return
to the original position given by the setpoint.
6.3.1 OFF
The GCB will be opened and the engine will be immediately stopped in this mode without unloading
and cooling. After that the controller will stay in Not ready status and cannot be started any way. The
MCB is closed permanently (MCB Opens On = GENRUN) or is open or closed according to whether
the mains are present or not (MCB Opens On = MAINSFAIL). No AMF function will be performed. The
buttons MCB, GCB, START, STOP including the appropriate binary inputs for external buttons are not
active.
6.3.2 MAN
The engine can be started and stopped manually using the START and STOP buttons (or external
buttons wired to the appropriate binary inputs) in MAN mode. When the engine is running, GCB can
be closed to a dead bus or synchronizing can be started by the GCB button. Also MCB can be closed
and opened manually using the MCB button, regardless of whether the mains are present or not. No
auto start is performed. No reaction to the inputs Sys Start/Stop or Rem Start/Stop.
A loaded engine in MAN mode will perform Load sharing and VAR sharing, but will not take place
within the power management.
NOTE:
The breakers are internally locked to close two voltages against each other without synchronizing! The
controller will automatically recognize if the breaker can be just closed or must be synchronized.
CAUTION!
The MCB can be opened manually in MAN mode. Accidental opening of the MCB will cause the object
(load) to remain without power!!!
6.3.4 TEST
SPtM only
The behaviour of the controller in TEST mode depends mainly on the setting of the ReturnFromTEST
setpoint.
Automatic return
Setpoint ReturnFromTEST = ENABLED.
The gen-set will be started when the controller is put into TEST mode and will remain running
unloaded. If a mains failure occurs, the MCB will be opened and after Transfer Del the GCB will be
closed and the gen-set will supply the load. After the mains have recovered, the delay
MainsReturnDel will count down and if it elapses and the mains are still ok, the controller will
synchronize back to the mains, transfer the load back to the mains (the maximum time that both
breakers are closed is determined by the BreakerOverlap setpoint) and the gen-set will remain
running unloaded again until the mode is changed.
Manual return
Setpoint ReturnFromTEST = DISABLED.
The gen-set will be started when the controller is put to TEST mode and will remain running unloaded.
If a mains failure occurs, the gen-set will take the load after it has started.
The load can be transferred to the gen-set also manually:
If the GCB button is pressed, the controller will synchronize to the mains, transfer the load to
the gen-set (the maximum time that both breakers are closed is determined by the
BreakerOverlap setpoint) and then open the MCB.
If the MCB button is pressed, the controller will open the MCB, then wait for Transfer Del and
finally close the GCB.
When the load is supplied by the gen-set and the mains are healthy, pressing the MCB button will start
reverse synchronizing and transfer the load back to the mains.
The gen-set remains running until the mode is changed.
synchronize to the mains (setpoint Synchro Enable = BOTH or FORWARD, binary input
ForwSyncDisabl is not active), transfer the load to the gen-set and then open the MCB. If the
mains Import/Export is measured (setpoint Im/EF input = Mains) then there is a time limitation
(setpoint Load Ramp) for unloading and opening of the MCB. The MCB opens when the
Import/Export goes below 0 ± 5% of the Nominal Power. If the Load Ramp time elapsed and
Or
will make a switchover (setpoint Synchro Enable = NONE or REVERSE), i.e. open the MCB,
wait for Transfer Del and close the GCB.
After the binary input Rem TEST OnLd has been deactivated, the controller goes back to the previous
operation mode (synchronize or switchover with regard to the setpoint Synchro Enable). In most cases
it will be AUT mode and the controller will either stay supplying the load if the mains have failed, or will
transfer the load back to the mains.
NOTE:
During the BreakerOverlap time, when both breakers are closed, the load is controlled either to zero
Import/Export level (if the MCB has to be opened) or to zero level (if the GCB has to be opened).
Periodic exercises
The output from the Exercise timer 1 is internally connected to the Remote TEST binary input to
enable periodic testing of the gen-set.
The controller must have AUT mode selected by the mode buttons and the other “mode forcing” binary
inputs must not be active to ensure proper function of the exercise.
NOTE:
If a shutdown or other red alarm occurs while the load is supplied from the gen-set and the mains are
healthy, the load is switched back to the mains.
1. After the command for start is issued (pressing START button in MAN mode, auto start
condition is fulfilled in AUT mode or controller is switched to TEST mode), the output Prestart
is energized for time period given by the setpoint Prestart Time.
2. After the prestart has elapsed, the output Fuel Solenoid is energized and 0.5 after that the
starter motor is activated by energizing the output Starter.
3. When one or more of following conditions are met, the prestart and starter of both outputs are
de-energized:
The engine speed exceeds the value of Starting RPM, or
One of additional running indication signals becomes active.
4. The controller remains in the Starting phase until the engine speed exceeds the value of
Starting RPM, after that it is considered as started and the Idle period will follow.
5. The maximum duration that the starter motor is energized is determined by the setpoint
MaxCrank time. If the engine does not start within this period, the starter motor is de-
energized and a pause with length determined by CrnkFail pause will follow. Prestart output
remains active during the pause. After the pause has elapsed, the next start attempt is
executed. The number of start attempts is given by the setpoint Crank Attempts.
6. Once the engine is started, the Idle period follows. The binary output Idle/Nominal remains
inactive (as it was during the start). The idle period duration is adjusted by the setpoint Idle
Time.
7. After the idle period has finished, the output Idle/Nominal is activated and the start-up
sequence is finished. The stabilization phase follows.

is energized for time period given by the setpoint Prestart Time.
2. After the prestart has elapsed, the starter motor is activated by energizing the output Starter.
3. When the engine speed exceeds 30RPM, the outputs Fuel Solenoid and Ignition are
energized.
4. When the engine speed exceeds value of Starting RPM, the starter motor is de-energized, the
engine is considered as started and the Idle period will follow.
CAUTION!
Additional running indication signals are not evaluated during the start of a gas engine. The
Pickup must be used in any case!
5. The maximum duration the starter motor is energized is determined by the setpoint MaxCrank
Time. If the engine does not start within this period, the starter motor and fuel solenoid are de-
energized and a pause with a length determined by CrnkFail Pause will follow. Prestart output
and ignition remain active during the pause. After the pause has elapsed, the next start
attempt is executed. The number of start attempts is given by the setpoint Crank Attempts.
6. Once the engine is started, the Idle period follows. The binary output Idle/Nominal remains
inactive (as it was during the start). The idle period duration is adjusted by the setpoint Idle
Time.
7. After the idle period has finished, the output Idle/Nominal is activated and the start-up
sequence is finished. The stabilization phase follows.

NOTE:
When the engine is started (according to point 4) the delay given by the setpoint ProtectHoldOff will
count down. After it has elapsed, the protections configured as engine running only will start to be
evaluated.
6.5 Stabilization
When the start-up sequence is finished, the gen-set goes into the stabilization phase. There are two
timers (setpoints) in this phase:
1. Min Stab Time starts to count down just after the idle period has finished. Generator voltage
and frequency are not checked (respective protections are not evaluated) and the GCB
cannot be closed even if the generator voltage and frequency are within limits.
2. Max Stab Time starts to count down just after the idle period has finished. Generator voltage
and frequency are not checked (respective protections are not evaluated) but, opposite to the
previous timer, the GCB can be closed (or synchronizing started) if generator voltage and
frequency are within limits.
In situations where the GCB is closed automatically (AUT, TEST modes), the closing of GCB or
starting of synchronization will occur in the first moment when the generator voltage and frequency will
get into limits and the Min Stab Time has already elapsed.
In the event that the generator voltage or frequency are not within limits within the Max Stab Time
period, the appropriate protection(s) will be activated and the gen-set will be cooled down and
stopped.
NOTE:
The limits for the generator voltage and frequency are given by setpoints in the Gener protect group.
NOTE:
The value of the Min Stab Time setpoint must be lower than the value of Max Stab Time setpoint.
The gen-set is running and the Min Stab Time timer has elapsed.
The gen-set voltage and frequency are within limits.
There are two ways to connect the gen-set to the load (bus bar). This depends on the state of MCB
feedback and on the measured mains/bus voltage.
NOTE:
There also is a protection of “Bus power loss sensing”. The “Bus Measure Error” is detected in MINT
application when the voltage on the controller’s bus terminals is out of limits 20 seconds after:
a) GCB (own) was closed in MAN or AUT mode
b) MCB (feedback) was closed in AUT mode
c) Any other GCB in power management group (on CAN bus) was closed.
The alarm is activated after 20s. However, the GCB (own) closing is blocked immediately for safety
reasons.
This protection can avoid e.g. potential direct closing of GCB while the controller’s bus conductors are
unintentionally unplugged from the terminals.
6.6.2 Synchronizing
SPtM: If the MCB is closed, the bus bar is considered to have identical voltage as measured on the
mains. If the mains voltage/frequency is within limits, the gen-set is first synchronized with the mains
and then the GCB is closed.
MINT: If the measured bus voltage is within limits, the gen-set is first synchronized with the bus and
then the GCB is closed.
The synchronizing consists of voltage matching and frequency/angle matching. The maximum
duration of synchronizing is given by the setpoint Sync Timeout. If the synchronizing is not successful
within this period of time, the Sync Timeout alarm will be issued.
NOTE:
The synchronization will be interrupted automatically if any of the necessary conditions disappear
during the synchronization process.
When the controller starts to synchronize (the event will change to “Synchro”) and the Main Measuring
screen is displayed, it will be automatically change to the Synchroscope screen for the entire duration
of synchronization. After synchronization the Synchroscope screen is automatically changed back to
the Main Measuring screen.
Voltage matching
The gen-set voltage is regulated to match the mains/bus voltage with tolerance given by the setpoint
Voltage Window. The regulation is adjusted by the setpoints Voltage Gain and Voltage Int.
Frequency/angle matching
The gen-set frequency is regulated to match the mains/bus frequency first. The frequency regulation
loop is active (setpoints Freq Gain and Freq Int). Once the frequency is matched, the regulation loop is
switched to match the angle (setpoint Angle Gain). When the angle is matched with tolerance +/-
Phase Window for a time given by the setpoint Dwell Time and the voltage is matched too, then the
GCB is closed.
NOTE:
The GCB close command will be not issued if the Phase Window setpoint is set to 0. Synchronizing
will continue until the Sync Timeout alarm occurs or the GCB is closed externally.
NOTE:
The matching loops will continue to run even if the GCB close command has been already issued until
the controller receives GCB feedback or a GCB fail alarm occurs. After the feedback has been
received, the control loops are switched to load and power factor loops or load and power factor
sharing respectively.

Reverse synchronizing
The reverse synchronizing process is identical to Forward synchronizing, but MCB is closed instead of
GCB. In the event that the reverse synchronizing is not successful, RevSyncTimeout alarm is issued
and the gen-set continues in island operation. After the alarm has been reset, the gen-set can try to
perform reverse synchronizing again.
Changeover
The changeover is performed if the reverse synchronizing is disabled with the RevSyncDisable binary
input.
The GCB is opened first and after a time period of Transfer Del the MCB is closed.
1. The common bus bar is dead due to opened MCB or there are no mains at all and the group
of gen-sets has been activated, or
2. The group was running parallel to mains and the MCB has been opened.
NOTE:
The controller in MINT application does not control the MCB! Only the MCB position is evaluated from
the binary input MCB Feedback and the position is the basic source of information for switching
between island and parallel to mains operation.
If the bus bar is empty, the first gen-set will close its GCB without synchronizing. Following gen-sets
will synchronize to the already energized bus bar. In the event that multiple gen-sets start
simultaneously and the bus bar is empty, the system will prevent closing of multiple GCBs to the bus
bar without synchronizing. Instead of this, one of the gen-sets will close the GCB and energize the bus
bar and the others will wait and then synchronize to the bus bar.
When a stop command is received, e.g. from the power management or binary input Sys Start/Stop is
deactivated or the STOP button is pressed, the GCB will be opened and the gen-set will go to cool
down phase.
Power management based on absolute reserves can be successfully used also for cases where the
load portions are similar to the gen-set capacity or even bigger. The goal of the absolute reserve mode
is that the system provides always the same reserve power capacity independent of how many
gen-sets are currently running and this why this mode perfectly fits for industrial plants with large
loads.
There is a new way of power management implemented (Efficient mode; LDS) since version IC-NT
2.0. Basic principles and functions are explained in the chapter below.
CAUTION!
The function of the controller is designed to handle the maximum sum of nominal power at 32000kW
(3200.0kW, depending on the power format in the controller). If the sum of nominal power of all gen-
sets connected to the intercontroller CAN exceeds these values the power format needs to be
changed accordingly.
Example: There are 20 gen-sets each with 1000kW of nominal power. The sum of the nominal power
is 20000kW. Therefore the decimal power format in 0.1kW cannot be used because the sum exceeds
32767. Therefore power format in kW needs to be chosen.
6.11.2 Basics
The setpoint Pwr Management enables and disables the gen-set to be active within the power
management of the group and make automatic load demand start/stop or swap. If the power
NOTE:
The gen-set will take part of the power management (= will be active) only if the controller is in AUT
mode!
NOTE:
The gen-set performs load and VAR sharing whenever it is connected to the busbar i.e. it is
independent on whether the controller is in AUT or MAN mode or whether the power management is
active or not.
Running ActPwr = the sum of the actual load of all active gen-sets within the group,
∑ 𝑃𝑎𝑐𝑡 that are connected to the bus. In parallel to mains operation and baseload mode the
baseload level is used in the equation instead of the actual gen-sets load.
Running NomPwr = the sum of the nominal power of all active gen-sets within the
∑ 𝑃𝑛𝑜𝑚
group, that are connected to the bus.
If the current system reserve drops below the adjusted reserve for start, the delay
#NextStrt Del will start to count down on the gen-sets, which have decided to start. If the
reserve remains under the limit for the entire countdown period, the gen-set(s) will start.
If the system reserve drops below zero (i.e. the system is overloaded), the delay
#OverldNext Del will start to count down on the gen-sets, which have decided to start. If the
reserve remains under the limit for the whole countdown period, the gen-set(s) will start.
If the system reserve goes above over the adjusted reserve for stop, the delay
#NextStopDel will start to count down on the gen-sets, which have decided to stop. If the
reserve still remains over the limit, the gen-sets will stop.
There are two pairs of setpoints for adjusting reserves for start and stop. Normally the pair
#LoadResStrt 1 and #LoadResStop 1 is active. By the binary input Load Reserve 2 the
second pair #LoadResStrt 2 and #LoadResStop 2 is activated.
With adjusting nonzero value to the setpoint #Min Run Power and activating the function by
binary input Min Run Power => based on the nominal power, the gen-sets needed for
equalizing the actual MinRunPower requirement are started (or kept running even if stop
reserve is fulfilled). Note, that LBI’s Min Run Power needs to be activated on all gen-sets in
the same time.
6.11.4 Priorities
The priority of the gen-set within the group is determined by the setpoint Priority. A lower
number represents “higher” priority, i.e. a gen-set with a lower number will start before another
one with higher number.
The controller will decide to start the gen-set at the moment when the reserve has dropped
below the reserve for start and the gen-sets with higher priorities (lower priority numbers), that
are available for power management, do not have enough capacity to get the reserve back
over the start level or cannot fulfil the adjusted minimal running power
The controller will decide to stop the gen-set at the moment when the reserve has increased
over the reserve for stop and the gen-sets with higher priorities (lower priority numbers), that
are available for power management, have enough capacity to keep the reserve over the start
level and also can fulfil the adjusted minimal running power
NOTE:
When evaluating the stop condition, the controller computes actual reserve without taking in account
its own nominal power, i.e. it evaluates how the reserve will be if the respective gen-set stops.

If a Shutdown or BOC alarm occurs, the gen-set will be taken out from the power
management and the next gen-set will start if necessary.
If a Slow stop alarm occurs, the gen-set will be taken out from the power management, but the
alarm will be suppressed for a definite period of time to give the next gen-set chance to start
and connect to the bus to get the reserve back over the start level. The alarm is suppressed
until the reserve gets back over the start level (this can occur either because the next gen-set
has connected to the bus or the load has decreased) or the timeout given by the setpoint
#SlowStopDel has elapsed. The alarm will not be suppressed if there is no other available
gen-set that can start.

To evaluate, which gen-set will start as next, two situations need to be distinguished:
Add1) master controller (the one with the lowest CAN address) makes the calculation and sorts all
the gen-sets in the group based on their nominal power and running hours from the biggest to
smallest. Gen-set which fulfils following formula will be selected:
If two gen-sets with the same nominal power are available, the one with least amount of run hours is
started.
Add2)
a) Master controller on the fly sorts available gen-sets based on their nominal power from the
biggest to smallest
b) If two or more gen-sets with the same nominal power are available, least amount of run hours is
preferred (lower run hours = higher priority)
c) Selection of which gen-set has to start next is from the bottom of the list to the top (small gen-
set starts first) following formula:
d) If load demand is higher than nominal power of the biggest gen-set, this one is fixed and the
whole process repeats from c).
e) For gen-sets with the same nominal power also run hour equalization will be performed.

The mains voltage is out of the limits given by the setpoints Mains >V and Mains <V for a time
period longer than Mains V Del.
The mains frequency is out of the limits given by the setpoints Mains >Freq and Mains <Freq
for a time period longer than Mains Freq Del.
The Vector shift protection occurs.
The MCB close command was not successful and the alarm MCB fail still was not reset.
The binary input Ext MF Relay is active.
Vector shift
If a mains failure occurs during parallel to mains operation, in most cases it causes a fast change of
the generator load. This change can be measured as a jump of the vector of the generator voltage and
evaluated as a symptom of mains failure. The vector shift limit for evaluation of a mains failure is
adjustable by the setpoint VectorShiftLim.
The mains voltage is within the limits given by the setpoints Mains >V and Mains <V.
The mains frequency is within the limits given by the setpoints Mains >Freq and Mains <Freq.
The alarm MCB fail is not active.
The binary input Ext MF Relay is not active.
NOTE:
There is a hysteresis for Mains under and over voltage added in the same way as in the InteliLiteNT
family.
4. If the setpoint MCB Opens On is set to GENRUN, the MCB is opened once the generator
voltage is within limits.
5. If the mains are restored to health and the gen-set is still not connected to the load, the
controller interrupts the startup process and closes back the MCB.
6. The GCB is closed and the gen-set begins to supply the load.
7. After the mains are restored to normal, the timer MainsReturnDel begins to count down and
when finished, either reverse synchronizing or switchover is performed. This depends on the
binary input RevSyncDisable. If active, switchover is performed instead of reverse
synchronizing.
8. Maximum time between closing of GCB and opening MCB is given by the setpoint
BreakerOverlap.
9. If no demand for parallel operation is active (binary input Rem Start/Stop), the GCB is opened
and the gen-set cools down and a stop follows.
NOTE:
For a description of how to make a test of AMF function, see the chapter operating modes, TEST
mode paragraph.
Duration of the cool down phase is determined by the setpoint Cooling Time.
When the cool down is finished, the output Fuel Solenoid is de-energized and Stop Solenoid is
energized. The engine will stop within the time period determined by the setpoint Stop Time. If the
engine does not stop within this time, the alarm Stop fail will be issued.
The output Stop Solenoid is energized until the engine is stopped, but at least for the duration of Stop
Time. If the Stop time has elapsed and the engine has still not stopped, the stop solenoid is de-
energized for 5 s and then energized again for max. Stop time and this repeats until the engine is
stopped.
The output Ignition is continuously energized until the engine is stopped.

Warning (WRN)
The Warning alarm does not perform any actions regarding gen-set control.
NOTE:
In the MINT application if the power management is active and a slow stop alarm occurs, the controller
will wait until another gen-set is started (if there is at least one available) before unloading and
stopping the gen-set. The maximum time the controller will wait is given by the setpoint #SlowStopDel.
Shutdown (SD)
The Shutdown alarm opens the GCB immediately and stops the engine immediately without cooling.
NOTE:
It is not possible to start the engine if any red level protection is active or not confirmed.
CAUTION!
The gen-set can start by itself after acknowledging the alarms if there is no longer an active red alarm
and the controller is in AUT or TEST mode!

NOTE:
6.14.7 Alarmlist
Alarmlist is a container of active and inactive alarms. It will appear automatically on the controller
display, if a new alarm occurs, or can be displayed manually from the display menu
It can contain up to 16 alarms, but the first 7 are visible on the screen. If it is full, recently
coming alarms are not displayed.
Active alarms are shown as inverted, not yet confirmed alarms are marked with asterisk
before them.
An alarm message in the alarmlist begins with a prefix, which represents the alarm type
(e.g. WRN). Then the alarm name follows. In some cases the prefix can be omitted.
NOTE:
The Alarmlist can be read out from the controller via Modbus. See the Modbus description chapter.
NOTE:
The ECU AlarmList is visible only if an ECU is configured.

NOTE:
The contents of the history log will be deleted after programming firmware or configuration into the
controller.
The history log can be displayed on the controller screen or in LiteEdit. If an archive (*.ail file) is saved
in LiteEdit, it will also contain the history log. The archive can be later opened in offline mode to view
the history log offline.
NOTE:
The first history record after the controller is switched on, programmed or a watchdog reset occurs
contains diagnostic values instead of operational values. Some fields in these records may seem to
have nonsense values. Do not take these values into account.

NOTE:
Timers are activated even in the middle of the cycle. This means that even when the controller is
switched on after the moment when the timer should have been started and before it should have
finished, the timer is activated for the remainder of the duration period.
Timer functions can be activated only in AUT mode (not in OFF, MAN or TEST). There are 2 timers.
In the event that both Timers are active at the same time, Timer 1 has a higher priority than Timer 2.

The following regulation loops are built into the controller. All of them are PI type except angle loop,
which is P type.
NOTE:
Since IC-NT SW v. 1.4.1 only the first controller (with the lowest address at the CAN has) active
voltage control loop. Other controllers are adapting voltage according to bus to the first one. All
controllers have active VAr Share regulation loop.
Prepare the system for adjustment, i.e. set the limits for related alarms temporarily to values
which will disable the alarms, set the synchro timeout to the maximum value, etc.
Adjust the gain to 5% and integration to 0%.
Switch the gen-set to MAN mode, start it and put it into the operation phase, where the
appropriate regulation loop is active.
Increase the gain slightly until the controlled quantity starts to oscillate. Then put it back to
approx. one half of the value where the oscillations started.
NOTE:
It may be helpful to disable issuing the GCB close command when adjusting synchronization loops.
Adjust the setpoint Phase Window to 0 to disable it. Adjust the setpoint back to its original value after
the adjustment is finished.
CAUTION!
Be ready to press the emergency stop button in the event that the regulation loop starts to behave
unacceptably.
CAUTION!
Do not write setpoints repeatedly (e.g. power control from a PLC by repeated writing of baseload
setpoint via Modbus) The setpoints are stored in EEPROM memory, which can be overwritten up to
105 times without risk of damage or data loss, but it may become damaged, when the allowed number
of writing cycles is exceeded!

The default settings of the module are IP = 192.168.1.254, Netmask = 255.255.255.0 and
Gateway = 192.168.1.1. The default password for service webpages is “comap” (or “0”).
To restore the default settings, close the “restore default setting” jumper located on the module before
switching the controller on and remove it few seconds after the controller has been switched on.
NOTE:
The default settings can be changed directly from the controller panel by pressing the “Page” button
and using ▼, ▲ and “Enter” to get to the “Comms Settings” menu (THIS APPLIES TO FIRMWARE VERSIONS
1.3 AND HIGHER).
Configuration
1. Plug the module into the controller and power the controller on.
2. Connect the module into your Ethernet network. If the default address does not match local
network parameters (i.e. the network segment does not use the IP range 192.168.1.xxx or the
IP 192.168.1.254 is occupied), connect the module directly to your PC using a cross-wired
cable. See details in the Installation chapter.
3. If you are connected directly, you have to change temporarily the IP address and subnet mask
of your PC Ethernet connection. Use the following settings: DHCP disabled, IP from the range
192.168.1.1 – 192.168.1.253 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0. After the IB-Lite setup is
finished, restore your PC setting back to the original values.
4. Start a web browser and direct it to http://192.168.1.254/sp_config.htm.
5. After a successful login the configuration page will be displayed.
6. It is recommended to change the user name and password and keep the new values
confidential.
7. Consult your IT specialist for proper IP settings.
8. Consult your e-mail provider for proper e-mail settings. Note that also most public SMTP
servers require authentication and e-mails must be sent from an existing address.
9. If you want to enable access only for clients with a specified IP address, tick the checkbox
“Trusted clients” and fill-in the allowed IP addresses.
NOTE:
See also the latest LiteEdit Reference Guide (available on the ComAp web site) for more information
about IB-Lite setup.

NOTE:
Interrupting the upload will NOT cause any damage. Just repeat the upload again.

The setpoint COM1 Mode (RS232) resp. COM2 Mode (RS485, Ethernet) must be set to the MODBUS
position. The speed of MODBUS communication for RS232 and RS485 can be adjusted by the
setpoint ModbusCommSpeed. See a more detailed description of the MODBUS protocol in a separate
chapter.
NOTE:
The controller is able to detect IB-Lite module and performs automatic configuration. Related setpoints

communication speed selectable by the setpoint ModbusComSpeed
The Modbus/TCP protocol uses the TCP/IP frames as the transport layer for Modbus frames. This
protocol is available via the IB-Lite module on port 502.
The following features from the Modbus specification are supported:
The response to an incoming message depends on the communication speed. The delay is not
shorter than the time needed to send/receive 3.5 characters. See the latest Inteli Communication
Guide (available on the ComAp website) for details and examples.
The complete description of the Modbus communication protocol can be found in the Modbus Protocol
Reference Guide PI-MBUS-300 and Open Modbus Specification Release 1.0. Both documents are
available on the web.
NOTE:
The complete list of available registers can be obtained from LiteEdit. Open an online connection to
the controller or open offline an archive and go to the menu Controller -> Generate Cfg image to get
the register list.
CAUTION!
Do not write setpoints repeatedly (e.g. power control from a PLC by repeated writing of baseload
setpoint via Modbus) The setpoints are stored in EEPROM memory, which can be overwritten up to
105 times without risk of damage or data loss, but it may become damaged, when the allowed number
of writing cycles is exceeded!
