for intuitive operation, which sets, together with high functionality, new standards in Gen-set controls.
The key feature of InteliGen is its easy-to-use installation and operation. Predefined configurations for
typical applications are available as well as user-defined configurations for special applications.
General description
Application is designed for land aircraft gensets operating at 400 Hz frequency. IG-GPU firmware is based
on standard IG-SPM 5.5 application.
IG-GPU controller supports up to three-generator circuit breakers control: one for DC line (for external
rectifier) and one or two for AC line feeders.
One DC and one AC breaker can be controlled from IG-GPU front panel or externally via binary inputs, the
third one only via binary input.
It is possible to expand IG-GPU binary inputs/outputs number using standard IG-PCM IG-IOM or IG-PTM
module.
Use WinEdit 5.4 version and higher for local and remote connection to IG-GPU.

4/ Pressing GCBx close/open will de-energize the GPU output contactor thus removing power from the
aircraft.
5/ If the Aircraft detects a fault with the electrical power it will remove the 28V DC signal from pin E which will
de-energise both the GPU output contactor and the Aircraft’s Ground power input contactor.
6/ For safety reasons (to avoid disconnection when on) if the ground power Six way NATO connector is
removed with power on, the latch circuit formed by pins E & F will break thus de-energising both contactors
(pins E & F are aprox. One-third the length of the power pins).
Power supply
To ensure proper function:
Use min. power supply cable 1,5mm2
Maximum continuous DC power supply voltage is 36VDC. Absolute maximum peak power supply voltage
is 39VCD. Controller has fast protection against peak pulse power disturbances on power supply terminals.
When there is a potential risk of the controller being subjected to conditions outside its capabilities an outside
protection devise should be used.
Hint:
The maximum allowable current through the controllers negative terminal is 4A (depends on binary output
load).
For 12VDC power supply, connect external capacitor and separating diode to support controller supplying
during cranking.
The 12VDC supply external capacitor size should be 5 000 microfarads to withstand 50ms voltage dip under
following conditions:
Voltage before dip is 12V, after 50ms the voltage recovers to min. allowed voltage, i.e. 8V
The capacitor size depends on required time, i.e. for 100ms dip 10 000 micro Farad is needed for the same
conditions.

When one common speed pick-up is used for Speed governor and for InteliGen takes care to interference
signal does not disturb InteliGen functions. When some problems occur:
- Check ground connection from pick-up to controllers, eventually disconnect ground connection to
one of them
- Galvanically separate InteliGen RPM input using ComAp separation transformer RPM-ISO (1:1)
- use separate pick-up for Speed governor and InteliGen
Hint:
Controller can detect RPM on no running gen-set when:
• RPM is measured from the generator voltage (Gear teeth = 0)
• INTELIGEN Generator voltage terminals are opened (e.g. due to opening of fuse disconnector)
No zero RPM causes controller Not ready state and engine start is blocked.

Analog inputs are designed for resistive sensors with resistance in range of 0Ω to 2.4kΩ.
To ensure a proper function use shielded cables, especially for length over 3m.
Some types of transducers are not suitable for connection to InteliGen analog inputs because of influencing
by InteliGen analog input. In this case change default 4-20mA/60 or 4-20mA/100 sensor characteristic to get
proper reading.
Binary input
Open, close state are detected, threshold level is 750 Ω.
Abbr: Abbreviation is used in history record for column labeling, maximal length is 4characters.
Set to: OilP
Dim: Physical dimension of measured value (°C, %, Bar, ..). Maximum length is three characters.
Set to: Bar
Inverted: The selection of polarity is only necessary when the analog input is configured as binary or tri-
state. When the input is configured as analog, this setting is not applicable.
„Open to activate“ – polarity of binary or tri-state input
„Close to activate“ – polarity of binary or tri-state input
When Analog input configuration is finished set the setpoints Anl Inp level1, Anl Inp level2, Anl Inp del in
Engine protection group.
Each Analog input has separate triplet of setpoints: Anl Inp level1, Anl Inp level2, Anl Inp del. Names of
these setpoints are fixed and do not depend on the name of measured value which can be changed.

AUT) cannot be changed.
Hint:
Access lock does not protect setpoints and mode changing from WinEdit. To avoid unqualified changes the
selected setpoints, use password protection.
Remote OFF
If closed, InteliGen is switched to OFF mode (there are four modes OFF-MAN-AUT-TEST). When opened,
controller is switched back to previous mode.
Hint:
This binary input should be connected to schedule timer switch, to avoid start of engine.
Remote TEST
If closed, InteliGen is switched to TEST mode. When opened, controller is switched back to previous mode.
IG-GPU TEST mode behaves as MAN mode only circuit breaker closing is not blocked from plug feedback
state.
Start button
Binary input has the same function as Start button on the InteliGen front panel. It is active in MAN and TEST
mode.
Stop button
Binary input has the same function as Stop button on the InteliGen front panel. It is active in MAN and TEST
mode.

running only like electric protection.
Opens binary output “GCB DC” after DC OvrldDel when is active.
DC plug fbck
Binary input DC plug feedback is safety input. Input behavior depends on setpoint PlugFeedback =
[BEFORE, AFTER].
BEFORE:
GCB DC can be closed only when DC plug feedback is closed = cable is connected to the plain before close
command is sent.
Alarm “Wrn DC plug feedback” is generated when GCB DC state does not corresponds to DC plug
feedback. Plug feedback protection is not active in TEST mode.
GCB1 feedback
Use this input to detect, whether the generator first AC1 line circuit breaker is open or closed. See binary
output GCB1 close/open.
GCB2 feedback
Use this input to detect, whether the generator second AC2 line circuit breaker is open or closed. See binary
output GCB2 close/open.
Alarm “Wrn AC plug1 feedback” is generated when GCB1 state does not corresponds to AC plug1 feedback.
Plug feedback protection is not active in TEST mode.
Alarm “Wrn AC plug2 feedback” is generated when GCB2 state does not corresponds to AC plug2 feedback.
Plug feedback protection is not active in TEST mode.
GCB DC button
Binary input has the same function as GCB ON/OFF button on the InteliGen front panel. It is active in MAN,
AUT and TESTmode.
GCB1 button
GCB1 button has has the same function as GCB ON/OFF button on front panel. GCB1 button is active in
MAN, AUT and TESTmode.

Overload [%]
Threshold for generator overload (in % of Nominal power) triggers when exceeded.
Step: 1 % of Nominal power
Range: 50 – 300 %
Ishort [%]
Ishort is a percentage over Current limit, that when reached all the GCB’s Close/Open, are immediately
opened, the event is recorded in the alarm and history list, and the engine will cool down and stop if the Fault
reset button is not depressed in AUT mode.
Step: 1 % of Current limit
Range: 100 - 500 %
IDMT is inversely proportional to the generators overcurrent. The higher the overcurrent gets the less time
will elapse before the alarm is activated.
When the IDMT protection is activated the GCB is opened, the event is recorded in the alarm and history list,
and the engine will cool down and stop if the fault reset button is not depressed.
Where Reaction time is the amount of time from IDMT detection to the opening of the GCB.

list of received AIG or AIS files. Each list item contains Gen-set name, Date, Time, IS serial number.
NumberRings AA [-]
Number of rings prior to open modem connection from PC to controller.
Step: 1
Range: 1 – 30
Hint:
NumberRings AA change is not accepted immediately but after controller is switched on or when modem is
connected to controller.
A.c.multiplier [ 1 to 250 ]
When active call is activated, controller tries five times to open the connection when A.c.multiplier = 1 (e.g.
when the phone line is engaged). There are ten attempts when A.c.multiplier = 2, etc..
Step: 1
Range: 1 to 250
Hint:
There are 5 attempts for any active call. Timeout for connection is 90 sec and after 120 sec controller starts
the next attempt. During the time the InteliGen is trying to send an active call type, incoming calls are
blocked.
Load Shedding
The load shedding function is available in all applications (SPM, SSB, SPtM, MINT, MEXT) and is active in
all InteliGen modes except OFF.
Load shedding has three steps and each step is linked with its own LOAD SHED digital output. There is only
one load shed level and delay for all three steps as well as recon level and delay. Load shed can only move
from one step to the next, e.g. No LoadShed to LdShed S1 to LdShed S2 to LdShed S3 and vise versa.
If manual reconnection of the load is desired the AutoLd recon setpoint needs to be disabled and the MAN
LOAD RECON digital input needs to be configured.
Digital input MAN LOAD RECON resets InteliGen to lower stage of load shed only if the load is under Ld
Recon Level.

Calibr AI1 (AI2, AI3) […]
Calibrating constant to adjust the measured value of IG-GPU analog inputs. The units of the calibration
constant are the same as the associated analog input, e.g. If entering 5 for Calibr AI1, and AI1 is oil pressure
in psi’s then it would be 5 psi’s.
Step: 1
Range: -1000 – +1000
Hint:
Calibr AI1, Calibr AI2, Calibr AI3 have to be adjusted when measured value is near the alarm level.
For VDO sensor characteristic see chapter Value and set points codes.

Mode description
There are four modes of the gen-set: OFF – MAN – AUT – TEST.
To select the mode press MODE→ or ←MODE
OFF mode
Genset cannot be started. If START , STOP , GCB1 ON/OFF, GCB2 ON/OFF,GCB DC ON/OFF buttons is
pressed the iG-GPU will not respond. Outputs STARTER, GCB1 CLOSE/OPEN, GCB2 CLOSE/OPEN, GCB
DC CLS/OPEN, GCBx ON, GCBx OFF and FUEL SOLENOID are not energized.
MAN mode
1. To start the gen-set: press START.
2. When the generator voltage is within limits (adjusted in the set point group Generator protections)
and Engine params: Idle time is over press GCB1 ON/OFF , GCB2 ON/OFF , GCB DC ON/OFF to
close corresponding GCB. If the generator voltage is out of the limits, InteliGen does not respond to
the any GCB button. There are two conditions for GCBx closing
3. To open the GCB press corresponding GCB ON/OFF button.
4. To stop the gen-set press STOP.
a) When running loaded, opens all GCB’s, goes into cooling state and stops the engine.
b) When running unloaded activates cooling sequence and then stops the engine.
c) During cooling state causes immediate engine stop.
Hint:
InteliGen does not respond to the REMOTE START/STOP input
The genset is permitted to run unloaded for an unlimited amount of time.
Twice pressing of STOP button causes immediate stop from Loaded state.
AUT mode
1. When BI Rem start/stop is closed engine starts and stays running unloaded. Function Idle/Nominal is
active. All CB’s must be closed manually only by buttons.
2. When BI Rem start/stop opens all closed GCB1, GCB2 and GCB DC opens, engine cools and stops.
Hint:
InteliGen does not respond to START and STOP buttons.
When Binary input REM START/STOP is closed, engine can start automatically without warning when
pressing FAULT RESET after shut down alarm !!!
TEST mode
TEST mode can be selected by Mode button from controller front panel or by Binary input Remote TEST.
TEST mode corresponds to MAN mode, but there is no check and protection of GCB DC, GCB1, GCB2 plug
feedback.
Genset can be started manually by START button or by rising edge of binary input Start6Button. GCBx can
be closed by front panel GCB ON/OFF buttons or by rising edge of Binary input GCBx button. State of
GCBx plug feedback is not important, but GCBx feedback must be closed within 5 seconds after close
command.

Hint:
The alarm can be configured for any IG-GPU and IG-PCM binary input.
When warning comes up it is displayed on the Alarm list screen and the selected entries are written to the
History record.
Detection of each binary input alarm is fix 1 sec time delayed. Analog inputs delay is adjustable.
Alarms detected on IG-GPU analog inputs are two levels (e.g. wrn and sd).
Use WinEdit to modify binary or analog inputs protection.
Warning
When warning comes up, only alarm outputs are closed.
Possible warnings:
Binary inputs configured as Warning
Analog inputs configured as Warning
Battery voltage alarm level
Unload
When the generator protection comes up, InteliGen opens the output GCB CLOSE/OPEN, and then is
engine cooled and stopped.
Slow stop
When the slow stop alarm comes up InteliGen unloads gen-set, opens outputs GCB1 CLOSE/OPEN, GCB2
CLOSE/OPEN, GCB DC CLS/OPEN, waits for Cooling time and opens FUEL SOLENOID output.
Possible slow stop alarms:
Binary inputs configured as Slow stop
Analog inputs configured as Slow stop
One analog input can be configured for DC line over voltage protection. Active DC line over voltage
protection opens Binary output GCB DC close-open. It is supposed connection of voltage sensor with 4 to
20mA output (configure corresponding sensor 4-20mA).
DC line protection
There are three following possibilities:
DC overvoltage
Function is available on IG-GPU Analog input. Configure corresponding Analog input protection = DC line.
DC overcurrent
Connect IG-GPU Idl-Idk terminals for current measuring of phase L3 on AC side before external AC/DC
converter. Set overcurrent limit in Generator protection: DC overcurrent, DC overcurrent del.
DC overload
Is activated after delay when binary input DC overload is closed. Set delay in Generator protection: DC
overload del.
Activity of any protection opens binary output GCB DCcls/open and activates corresponding Alarm list and
History record.

Hint:
Phase sequence detection is active when voltage in all three phases is >50VAC and all phase angles are in
the range 120° ± 20.
Phase sequence alarm detection is 1 sec delayed to avoid transient effects.
When the BO GCB close/open in steady state and GCB feedback is changed the GCB fail is detected
immediately (no delay).
