INTRODUCTION
This instruction manual provides information about the operation and installation of the DECS-100 Digital
Excitation Control System. To accomplish this, the following information is provided:
WARNING!
To avoid personal injury or equipment damage, only qualified personnel should
perform the procedures in this manual.
Lethal voltage is present at the rear panel when the unit is energized. Rear panel
connections should be made only when the unit id de-energized.
CAUTION
The Manual mode excitation level must be evaluated prior to enabling this
feature. If the level of excitation current is inappropriate for the generator, severe
damage to the generator may occur.
Improper PID numbers will result in poor system performance or system damage.
When applying operating power for programming purposes, observe the
precautions called out in Section 4, Installation, Preliminary Setup.
When programming the DECS-100 without the generator spinning, the
connections to DECS-100 terminals F+ and F– should be removed.
Before uploading a settings file, remove operating power from the DECS-100,
disconnect the field wiring from terminals F+ and F–, and re-apply operating
power to the DECS-100.
NOTE
Be sure that the relay is hard-wired to earth ground with no smaller than 12 AWG
copper wire attached to the ground terminal on the rear of the unit case. When
the relay is configured in a system with other devices, it is recommended to use a
separate lead to the ground bus from each unit.

Overexcitation Shutdown
This LED lights when the Overexcitation Protection feature is enabled and the field voltage exceeds the
adjustable setpoint for 10 seconds. The DECS-100 will shutdown when an overexcitation condition is
detected. The Overexcitation Shutdown LED will light for 5 seconds when the DECS-100 is powered up
following an overexcitation shutdown.
Generator Overvoltage
This LED lights when generator output voltage exceeds the adjustable setpoint for 0.75 seconds. When a
generator overvoltage condition exists, the DECS-100 output contacts close and the DECS-100 shuts
down (if hardware shutdown is enabled). The Generator Overvoltage LED will light for 5 seconds when
the DECS-100 is powered up following a generator overvoltage shutdown.
Underexcitation Limiting
This LED lights when the sensed, reactive power (leading vars) decreases below the programmed
underexcitation limit. It stays lit until the underexcitation condition ceases or the underexcitation time
delay expires and the DECS-100 shuts down. The Underexcitation Limiting LED will flash for 5 seconds
when the DECS-100 is powered up following an underexcitation limiting shutdown.
Underfrequency Active
This LED lights when the generator frequency decreases below the underfrequency setpoint and the
DECS-100 is regulating on the selected volts per hertz curve.
COMMUNICATION PORT
The communication port is located on the rear panel and
consists of a female, RS-232 (DECS-B-9) connector. The
communication port serves as an interface for programming
(setup) of the DECS-100. Figure 2-2 illustrates the location of
the communication port.
Programming requires a standard, nine-pin, serial
communication cable connected between the DECS-100 and
an IBM-compatible PC operating with BESTCOMS software.
BESTCOMS software is a Microsoft Windows®-based
communication software package that is supplied with the
DECS-100. A detailed description of BESTCOMS is provided
in Section 5, BESTCOMS Software.
WARNING!
Lethal voltage is present at the rear panel when the unit is
energized. Rear panel connections should be made only
when the unit is de-energized.
Figures

Microprocessor
The microprocessor is the heart of the DECS-100 and performs measurement, computation, control, and
communication functions by the use of its embedded programming and the nonvolatile settings stored in
its memory.
Power Supply
The internal switch-mode power supply receives power from the power input stage and supplies power at
the required dc voltage levels to the internal circuitry of the DECS-100.
Relay Output
A common alarm output contact is provided through terminals AL1 and AL2. This normally open, form A
contact annunciates alarm or trip conditions. The relay output is non-latching.
Operating Modes
The DECS-100 provides up to four modes of operation selectable through BESTCOMS software.
Automatic voltage regulation mode and Manual mode are standard features. Var and Power Factor
modes are an option.
Automatic Voltage Regulation Mode
In Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) mode, the DECS-100 regulates rms generator output voltage.
This is accomplished by sensing generator output voltage and adjusting dc output excitation current to
maintain voltage at the regulation setpoint. The regulation setpoint is adjusted by the Raise and Lower
CAUTION
The Manual mode excitation level must be evaluated prior to enabling this
feature. If the level of excitation current is inappropriate for the generator, severe
damage to the generator may occur.
Underfrequency
When generator frequency drops below the selected knee frequency setpoint, the voltage setpoint is
automatically adjusted by the DECS-100 so that generator voltage follows the selected PU (per unit) V/Hz
curve. When operating on the selected PU V/Hz curve, the Underfrequency Active indicator lights on the
front panel and in BESTCOMS. Underfrequency control is disabled below 12 hertz. The knee frequency is
adjustable from 40 to 65 hertz in 0.1 hertz increments and the PU V/Hz curve may be set at a slope of 0
to 3 in 0.01 steps through BESTCOMS software. A slope of 0 effectively disables the underfrequency
function. The DECS-100 has a minimum regulation point of approximately 30 percent of the nominal
setpoint.
Limiters
DECS-100 limiters consist of an overexcitation limiter (OEL) triggered by an increase in field current and
an underexcitation limiter (UEL) triggered by excessive leading vars.
Overexcitation Limiting
The DECS-100 provides two types of overexcitation limiting: summing point and takeover.
Summing Point OEL. When the level of field current increases above the adjustable current level setpoint,
the front panel and BESTCOMS Overexcitation Limiting indicators light. If the overexcitation condition
persists for the duration of the user-adjustable alarm time delay, the relay output at terminals AL1 and
AL2 closes.
The advantage of a summing-point type of OEL is that it can provide a smooth transition into and out of
the limit. Its drawback is that it does not control field current directly, but has to work through the normal
voltage regulator, and may be influenced by changes in terminal voltage.
Takeover OEL. When takeover-style overexcitation limiting is used, the level of field current at which
limiting occurs is determined by an adjustable current level setpoint. If the field current increases above
the adjustable current level setpoint, the front panel and BESTCOMS Overexcitation Limiting indicators
light and the field current is limited and forced to follow the inverse time curve.
The advantage of a takeover type of OEL is that it provides direct control of the exciter field current
without relying on the normal voltage regulator’s control action. Its drawback is that it may not provide a
smooth transition into and out of the limit.
If hardware shutdown is enabled, the DECS-100 will be disabled when the time delay expires. When the
DECS-100 is powered up following a shutdown triggered by overexcitation limiting, the Overexcitation
Limiting indicator will light for five seconds.
The current level setpoint is adjustable from 0 to 15 Adc. The alarm time delay is adjustable from 0 to 10
seconds.
Underexcitation Limiting
When the level of leading vars increases above the adjustable var level setpoint, the front panel and
BESTCOMS Underexcitation Limiting indicators light. If the underexcitation condition persists for the
duration of the adjustable alarm time delay, the relay output at terminals AL1 and AL2 closes.
If hardware shutdown is enabled, the DECS-100 will be disabled when the time delay expires. When the
DECS-100 is powered up following a shutdown triggered by underexcitation limiting, the Underexcitation
Limiting indicator will light for five seconds.
The var level setpoint is adjustable from 0 to 100% of the rated vars. The rated var level is determined by
the following equation:
rated var level = V AVG × I B × 3
where IB is the DECS-100 nominal current sensing rating (1 Aac or 5 Aac)
The alarm time delay is adjustable from 0 to 10 seconds.
NOTE
The UEL function is active only during parallel operation when the 52J/K contact
input or 52L/M contact input is open.
Soft Start
The DECS-100 also incorporates an adjustable soft start feature that controls the time for generator
voltage or field current to ramp to the regulation setpoint. The ramp rate is adjustable from 1 to 7,200
seconds in 1 second increments through BESTCOMS. The underfrequency feature is also active during
soft start and takes priority in control of the generator voltage in an effort to minimize voltage overshoot.

ii Installation DECS-100
SECTION 4 • INSTALLATION
INTRODUCTION
DECS-100 Digital Excitation Control Systems are delivered in sturdy cartons to prevent shipping damage.
Upon receipt of a system, check the part number against the requisition and packaging list for agreement.
Inspect for damage, and if there is evidence of such, immediately file a claim with the carrier and notify
the Basler Electric Regional Sales Office, your Sales Representative or a Sales Representative at Basler
Electric, Highland, Illinois.
If the unit is not installed immediately, store it in the original shipping package in a moisture and dust free
environment.
MOUNTING
The DECS-100 is normally located in the generator conduit box. It is designed for behind the panel
mounting and requires a cutout for front panel viewing. Supplied mounting hardware consists of six #12
thread-forming screws that pass through mounting holes in the conduit box and thread into the plastic
shell of the DECS-100. The recommended torque range for the steel mounting screws is 4.07 to 4.52
newton-meters (36 to 40 inch-pounds). The unit must be mounted where the ambient temperature does
not exceed the allowable environmental conditions called out in Section 1, General Information,
Specifications. DECS-100 package dimensions are shown in Figure 4-1. Cutout and drilling dimensions
are shown in Figure 4-2. Drawing dimensions are shown in inches and millimeters (in parenthesis).
NOTE
Be sure that the DECS-100 is hard-wired to earth ground with no smaller than 12
AWG copper wire attached to the ground terminal on the rear of the unit case.
When the unit is configured in a system with other devices, connect a separate
lead from the ground bus to each DECS-100 unit.
DECS-100 Terminations
DECS-100 units have two types of interface terminals (Figure 4-3). One type is quarter-inch, quick-
connect terminals and the other is a 9-pin DB9 connector. All terminals are located on the rear of the unit.
The quarter-inch, quick-connect terminal labels are located on the rear of the case. Wires performing
common functions, such as voltage sensing leads, should be grouped together. The 9-pin DB-9 type
connector is used for temporary interface with both IBM compatible PCs and hand-held computers.
Figure 4-3 shows the terminal connections located on the rear panel of the DECS-100. Except as noted
above, connections should be made with minimum wire size of 14 AWG.
Accessory Input
The accessory input voltage terminals are labeled A and B and accept a maximum signal of ±3 Vdc.
Positive voltage applied to terminal A with respect to terminal B causes the active mode setpoint to
increase. For every ±1 Vdc change, a ±10% change in the active mode setpoint is achieved.
Chassis Ground
The chassis ground terminal is labeled GND.

Mounting
The DECS-100 must be mounted inside a grounded, metal enclosure (conduit box). An access panel
should cover the opening for the front panel display.
Wiring
Wiring connected to the terminals listed below must be shielded. Each shield should be terminated to
ground on the outside of the conduit box.
• Current sensing terminals CT1 and CT2
• Relay output terminals AL1 and AL2
• Var/Power Factor control contact input terminals 52J and 52K
• Parallel generator compensation terminals 52L and 52M
• Raise and lower contact input terminals 6U, 6D, and 7
• Accessory input voltage terminals A and B
• Voltage matching contact input terminals VM and VMC
PRELIMINARY SETUP
Before starting the generator and DECS-100 for the first time, proceed as follows.
WARNING!
Lethal voltage is present at the rear panel when the unit is energized. Rear panel
connections should be made only when the unit is de-energized.
1. Tag and disconnect all wiring to the DECS-100. Be sure to insulate the wire terminals to prevent a
short circuit.
2. Start the prime mover and perform all engine governor adjustments.
3. After all initial governor adjustments have been made, shut down the prime mover.
DECS-100 Installation 4-13
4. Connect only the DECS-100 power input terminals to an auxiliary power source. Before applying
DECS-100 operating power, observe the precautions noted in Operating Power Considerations
During DECS-100 Programming.
5. Perform all initial DECS-100 settings by connecting a PC operating with BESTCOMS to the rear
communication port of the DECS-100 and save all new settings.
6. Remove power from the DECS-100.
7. Connect the rest of the DECS-100 leads using the tagged identification.
8. Start the prime mover/generator and perform the final adjustments at rated speed and load.
9. After the initial startup, the DECS-100 should not require any further adjustments unless there is a
change in the system.
CAUTION
When programming the DECS-100 without the generator spinning, the
connections to DECS-100 terminals F+ and F– should be removed.
If it is necessary to perform programming with applied operating power over 120 Vac, a current-limiting
resistor must be connected between the power source and DECS-100 (Figure 4-12). A resistor rated at
20 ohms and 20 watts may be used to limit the inrush current to a safe level. During the duration of the
inrush current (about one cycle), the resistor power rating will be exceeded. Once the inrush has passed,
the resistor power dissipation level will be minimal. If desired, a 10 ohm, 50 watt resistor may be used
instead.
Figure 4-12. Operating Power Connections for DECS-100 Programming (Input Voltage >120 Vac)
These special operating considerations are to be observed only during DECS-100 programming.
Applications where the DECS-100 is powered from the generator output (shunt powered) or a permanent
magnet generator (PMG) are still valid within the constraints given in Section 1, General Information,
Specifications. In applications where station power is used to power the DECS-100, the DECS-100
should be protected by an Inrush Current Reduction Module (ICRM-7). See Power Supply Inputs for more
information.
ADJUSTMENTS
All adjustments are made using external switching, or with BESTCOMS software via the rear panel
communication port. See Sections 5 and 6 for more information regarding setting adjustments with
BESTCOMS software.

CHANGING SETTINGS
Settings are arranged into six groups.
• System Configuration • Analysis
• Setting Adjustments • Protection/Relay
• Control Gain • Metering/Operation
Each setting group has a corresponding toolbar button that can be selected to access that group of
settings. The six setting groups can also be accessed by clicking Screens on the menu bar and then
selecting the desired setting group from the list. Once a setting group is accessed, the individual settings
of the group can be viewed and changed.
A setting is changed by clicking within the setting field and typing the new setting. The range limits of a
setting can be viewed by double-clicking the setting. Once all desired setting changes have been made
on a setting group screen, the settings must be sent to the DECS-100 before viewing other screens.
Otherwise, the settings changes will be lost. Settings changes can be sent to the DECS-100 by clicking
the SendToDECS button. Settings can also be sent to the DECS-100 by clicking Communications on
the menu bar and clicking Send To DECS.
Sending Settings
Settings changes are sent to the DECS-100 by clicking the SendToDECS button. This causes the
selected setting displayed on the current settings screen to become the DECS-100 setting. Settings can
also be sent to the DECS-100 by clicking Communications on the menu bar and clicking Send To
DECS. Additionally, a setting can be sent by pressing the Enter key after the new value is typed in. The
SendToDECS button must be clicked or the Enter key must be pressed after each setting change to
ensure that all settings are sent to the DECS-100. See Saving Settings to DECS-100 Memory for
information about retaining DECS-100 settings after operating power is removed.
Receiving Settings
DECS-100 settings are retrieved by clicking the GetFromDECS button. This causes the current settings
of the DECS-100 to be displayed on the settings screen. Settings can also be received from the DECS-
100 by clicking Communications on the menu bar and clicking Get From DECS.
SETTING DEFINITIONS
Each of the six setting groups has a corresponding BESTCOMS screen. The settings of each screen are
categorized by one or more tabs. In the following paragraphs, settings are arranged and defined
according to the organization of the BESTCOMS screens and tabs.
System Configuration
The System Configuration screen consists of one tab labeled System Settings. Click the Configure
button to access the System Configuration screen or click Screens on the menu bar and click System
Configuration.
System Settings
System settings are shown in Figure 5-6 and described in the following paragraphs.
Sensing Voltage. This setting is used to configure the DECS-100 for either single-phase or three-phase
sensing voltage.
Limiter Mode. This setting enables and disables the excitation limiters. Overexcitation limiting (OEL) or
underexcitation limiting (UEL) can be enabled independently, both can be enabled, or neither limiter
enabled.
OEL Type. This setting configures the overexcitation limiter as a summing point limiter or takeover-style
limiter.
Generator Frequency. This setting is used to select a nominal system operating frequency of 50 hertz or
60 hertz.
Regulator Sensing Voltage (V). The nominal, ac generator voltage obtained from the generator sensing
transformer is entered in this setting field. Voltages within the ranges of 100 to 140 Vac, 200 to 280 Vac,
or 400 to 560 Vac may be entered in 0.1 Vac increments. A setting of 600 Vac is also possible.
Regulator Sensing Current (A). This setting field reads and displays the nominal output of the current
transformer (CT) that supplies the DECS-100 with B-phase generator line current. This value (1 or 5)
must be manually entered for units with a firmware version lower than 1.12.01.
Style Number. The three, read-only style number fields indicate the electrical characteristics and
operational features of the DECS-100. the style number is displayed only when communication between
the DECS-100 and BESTCOMS is established.
Generator PT Ratio. The ratio of the generator sensing transformer is entered in this setting field. This
ratio allows the voltage displayed through BESTCOMS to match the actual generator output voltage. A
ratio of 1 to 150 may be entered in increments of 0.01.
Generator CT Ratio. The ratio of the generator B-phase current transformer is entered in this setting field.
This ratio allows the current displayed by the DECS-100 to match the actual B-phase generator output
current. A ratio of 1 to 3,000 may be entered in increments of 0.1.
Bus PT Ratio. This setting field is used to enter the bus potential sensing transformer ratio. This ratio
allows the bus voltage to be displayed through BESTCOMS. A ratio of 1 to 150 may be entered in 0.01
increments.
Setting Adjustments
The Setting Adjustments screen consists of two tabs: Setpoint and Startup.
Setpoint Tab
The Setpoint tab settings of the Setting Adjustments screen are shown in Figure 5-7. Each setting of the
Setpoint tab is described in the following paragraphs.
Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) - AVR Setpoint (V). This setting field is used to enter the desired
generator output terminal voltage. The AVR setpoint value range depends on the regulator sensing
voltage and band setting.
Fine Voltage Adjustment - Band Setting (%). The Band Setting determines the minimum and maximum
adjustment allowed to the AVR Setpoint (as a percentage of the Regulator Sensing Voltage setting (see
Figure 5-8)). Band Setting values are entered as a percentage of the regulator sensing voltage setting
over a range of 0 to 15%in 0.1% increments.
Droop - Setpoint (%). This setting controls the reactive droop compensation feature of the DECS-100.
The setpoint value determines the amount of change permitted in the generator voltage setpoint when the
DECS-100 responds to a reactive load. The setpoint value is adjustable from 0 to 10% in increments of
0.01%. The setpoint is based on a 0.8 power factor load.
5-4 BESTCOMS Software DECS-100
Field Current Regulator (FCR) - FCR Setpoint (A). This setting defines the field current setpoint when
operating in Manual mode. The FCR Setpoint field accepts a value of 0 to 7 Adc in 0.01 Adc increments.
Reactive Power Control (VAR) - VAR Setpoint (% of rated). The VAR Setpoint determines the level of
generator vars maintained by the DECS-100 when operating in Var Control mode. Values from -100 to
+100 percent in 1.0 percent increments may be entered in the VAR Setpoint field.
Power Factor Control (PF) - PF Setpoint. The PF Setpoint determines the level of generator power factor
maintained by the DECS-100 when operating in Power Factor Control mode. PF Setpoint values are
adjustable from -0.6 to -1 (1) or 0.6 to +1 in 0.001 increments.
Startup Tab
The Startup-tab settings of the Setting Adjustment screen are shown in Figure 5-8. Each setting of the
Startup tab is described in the following paragraphs.
Startup Control - Gen Soft Start Time (sec). This setting defines the time limit for the generator soft-start
voltage ramp time. The soft-start time minimizes generator voltage overshoot and can be set from 1 to
7,200 seconds in 1 second increments.
Underfrequency Setting - Corner Frequency (Hz). The Corner Frequency setting defines the value of
frequency that causes the DECS-100 to adjust the voltage setpoint so that the generator voltage follows
the selected volts per hertz slope. A value of 40 to 65 hertz can be entered in this setting field in 0.01
increments.
Underfrequency Setting - Slope (Volts/Hz). The slope for generator underfrequency protection is selected
with this per-unit setting. A slope setting of 0 to 3.00 can be entered in increments of 0.01.
Voltage Matching - Speed (sec). This setting determines how quickly the generator voltage is adjusted by
the DECS-100 to match the bus voltage. The Speed setting is adjustable from 1 to 300 seconds in 0.01
increments.
Voltage Matching – Disable by Contact. This setting selects the DECS-100 contact input used to disable
voltage matching. Selecting “52JK or 52LM” allows either the 52JK or 52LM contact input to disable
voltage matching. Selecting “52JK” allows only the 52JK contact input to disable voltage matching.
Voltage Matching – Mode. The voltage matching mode can be Maintain or Revert. When Maintain is
selected, the DECS-100 setpoint is maintained at the bus voltage level even after the generator or utility
breaker opens. When Revert is selected, the DECS-100 setpoint reverts to its original level when the
generator or utility breaker opens.
Control Gain
The Control Gain screen consists of one tab labeled Control Gain. Click the Gain button to access the
Control Gain screen or click Screens on the menu bar and click Control Gain.
Control Gain Tab
Control gain settings are shown in Figure 5-9 and are described in the following paragraphs.
AVR/FCR - Integral Gain KI. This setting selects the integral constant (KI) stability parameter. The DECS-
100 supplies a value that is equivalent to KI multiplied by the integral of the error between the voltage
setpoint and the actual generator output voltage. KI values of 0.01 to 1,000 may be entered in increments
of 0.01.
Increasing the value of KI decreases the time required to reach steady state.
AVR/FCR - Derivative Gain KD. This setting selects the derivative constant (KD) stability parameter. The
DECS-100 provides an output value that is equivalent to KD multiplied by the derivative of the error
between the voltage setpoint and the actual generator output voltage. KD values of 0 to 1,000 may be
entered in increments of 0.01.
Increasing the value of KD reduces transient response ringing.
AVR/FCR - AVR<=Loop Gain Kg=>FCR. This setting adjusts the loop-gain level of the PID algorithm.
Loop Gain values of 0 to 1,000 may be entered for AVR and FCR operation in increments of 0.01.
VAR/PF - PF Integral Gain KI. This setting adjusts the integral gain and determines the characteristic of
the DECS-100 dynamic response to a changed PF setting. PF KI values of 0 to 1,000 may be entered in
increments of 0.01.
Analysis
Click the Analysis button or click Screens on the Menu bar and click Analysis to view the Analysis
screen. The Analysis screen consists of four tabs: VAR, PF, AVR, and FCR. Each of the tabs displays
four metered sensing values and has six alarm signal indicators. Metered sensing values include Vrms
(rms voltage), Ifd (dc field current), reactive power (vars), and power factor (PF). Alarm signal indicators
include Overexcitation Limiting, Underexcitation Limiting, Generator Overvoltage, Loss of Generator
Sensing, Underfrequency Active, and Overexcitation Shutdown.
The operating status and control mode of the DECS-100 determine which tabs of the Analysis screen are
enabled and can be accessed by the user. Table 5-2 lists the DECS-100 operating status and control
modes that enable the four tabs of the Analysis screen.
Table 5-2. Analysis Screen Tab Combinations

Control mode and operating status selections are made at the Operation tab of the BESTCOMS Metering
screen and are discussed later in this section.
AVR Tab
Figure 5-10 illustrates the settings, sensing values, and alarm signal indicators of the AVR tab. The
settings of the AVR tab make it possible to increment and decrement the AVR setpoint of the DECS-
100.The sensing values and alarm signal indicators of the AVR tab are also displayed by the other tabs of
the Analysis screen.
Voltage Step Response - AVR Setpoint (V) (Nominal). This read-only field indicates the AVR setpoint.
(The AVR setpoint is set by using the Setpoint tab of the Setting Adjustments screen). The voltage
displayed in the AVR Setpoint field is selected by clicking the adjacent button. Clicking this button sends
the AVR Setpoint value to the DECS-100 and changes the color of the button from gray to red.
Voltage Step Response - Increment of AVR Setpoint (V). These two fields indicate the increase that
occurs to the AVR setpoint when the corresponding Increment button is clicked. The "% increase" field is
used to set and indicate the percentage that the AVR setpoint is increased when the Increment button is
clicked. The "AVR Setpoint =" field indicates the value of voltage that corresponds to the "% increase"
field. Any setpoint value within range or higher than the setpoint value can be typed into the "AVR
Setpoint ="field, which updates the "% increase" field. The AVR setpoint changes to this value when the
adjacent button is clicked. When clicked, the Increment button changes from gray to red to indicate that
the AVR setpoint has increased to the value in the "AVR Setpoint =" field.
Protection Settings
The Protection Settings screen consists of two tabs: Protection and Limiter. Click the Protection button to
access the Protection Settings screen or click Screens on the menu bar and click Protection Settings.
Protection Tab
Protection settings are shown in Figure 5-14 and are described in the following paragraphs.
Generator Overvoltage - Voltage Level (%). The value of this field is expressed as a percentage of the
nominal generator voltage and determines the level of generator voltage required to initiate a generator
overvoltage condition. An overvoltage percentage value of 100 to 120 percent may be entered in 1
percent increments. A generator overvoltage condition lights the Generator Overvoltage LED on the front
panel.
Generator Overvoltage – Alarm Time Delay (sec). This setting establishes the length of time that a
generator overvoltage condition must exist before the DECS-100 annunciates the condition.
VA = V AVG × I B × 3
Equation 5-1
Real Power (W). This value is the calculated product of the metered generator voltage(VAVG), PT ratio
(entered at the System Configuration screen), metered generator current (Ib) CT ratio (entered at the
System Configuration screen), square root of 3, and the cosine of the metered phase angle. See
Equation 5-2.
W = V AVG × I B × 3 × cos φ
Equation 5-2
PID DATA
BESTCOMS enables generator stability to be set through the automatic calculation of PID parameters.
PID stands for Proportional, Integral, Derivative. The word proportional means that the response of the
DECS-100 output is proportional or relative to the amount of change that is observed. Integral means that
the DECS-100 output is proportional to the amount of time that a change is observed. Integral action
eliminates offset. Derivative means that the DECS-100 output is proportional to the required rate of
excitation change. Derivative action avoids excitation overshoot.
BESTCOMS automatically calculates PID values after the user selects the generator frequency,
generator time constant (T'do), and exciter time constant (Texc). With BESTCOMS, the user may
generate new PID numbers, add to a PID list file, and update the AVR gain settings in the Control Gain or
Step Response screens.
The PID window (Figure 5-18) is accessed by clicking the PID button. The PID button can be clicked only
when the Stability Range setting of the Control Gain screen is set at a value of 21. (A setting of 21
enables the entry of custom stability settings through the PID window.) Then, when a field of the Control
Gain screen is changed or selected, the PID button changes from gray to yellow and the button can be
clicked to view the PID window. After the PID numbers are modified, calculated, and updated, the PID
window is closed by clicking the Update Setting Screen button. The modified PID values are then shown
on the Control Gain screen.
PID parameters can be added to a list and recalled for operation and comparison. To add to the list, type
a name for the generator (or other appropriate information) in the generator information box. Select the
generator time constant. Observe the PID gain parameters in the Field Output Data fields. If these gain
parameters are appropriate, click the Add to PID List button. Check for the new parameters by pulling
down the PID List (click the down arrow). The new gain and time constant parameters should be
displayed.
SETTINGS FILES
BESTCOMS software enables you to print a list of DECS-100 settings, save DECS-100 settings to a file,
and open a settings file and upload those settings to a DECS-100. A settings file may also be opened and
edited within any text editing software.
CAUTION
Before uploading a settings file, remove operating power from the DECS-100,
disconnect the field wiring from terminals F+ and F–, and re-apply operating
power to the DECS-100.
The upload process is started by clicking the open icon or clicking File on the menu bar and then clicking
Open. A dialog box is then displayed (Figure 5-19) reminding you that the DECS-100 should be off-line
before uploading settings. Clicking Yes loads the settings into DECS-100 memory.
PASSWORD PROTECTION
Password protection guards against unauthorized changing or viewing of DECS-100 settings. A single
password protects all DECS-100 settings. The DECS-100 is delivered with a default password of decs.
Once the password is changed, it should be stored in a secure location. If the user-defined password is
lost or forgotten, BESTCOMS must be reloaded to restore the default password.
NOTE
A password change can be made only after communication between
BESTCOMS and the DECS-100 is established.
EMBEDDED FIRMWARE
Embedded firmware is the operating program that controls the actions of the DECS-100. The DECS-100
stores firmware in nonvolatile flash memory that can be reprogrammed through the RS-232
communication port. It is not necessary to replace EPROM chips when replacing the firmware with a
newer version.
CAUTION
If power is lost or communication is interrupted during file transfer, the DECS-100
will not recover and will cease to be operational.
NOTE
Communication must be closed prior to uploading embedded firmware to the
DECS-100. Refer to the Terminating Communication subsection for information
about closing DECS-100 communication.
1. Connect a communication cable between the rear RS-232 connector of the DECS-100 and the
appropriate communication port of your PC.
2. Click DECSLoad on the BESTCOMS menu bar and click Uploading Embedded Software. If this
menu selection is grayed out, you'll need to close DECS-100 communication. Refer to the
Terminating Communication subsection for information about closing DECS-100 communication.
When Uploading Embedded Software is clicked, a dialog box (Figure 5-21) is displayed that advises
you to disconnect the DECS-100 generator and bus connections and save the DECS-100 settings in a file
before proceeding with firmware uploading. Firmware uploading may replace some user-adjusted settings
with factory-default settings.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If you do not get the results that you expect from the DECS-100, first check the programmable settings for
the appropriate function. Use the following troubleshooting procedures when difficulties are encountered
in the operation of your excitation system.
No Droop
Step 1. Verify that the DECS-100 52L/M contact input is open.
If the 52L/M contact input is not open, it must be opened to enable the droop function.
If the 52L/M contact input is open, proceed to Step 2.
Step 2. Verify that the DECS-100 52J/K contact input (if present) is closed or the Var/PF function is
disabled via BESTCOMS. Var/PF operation must be disabled for droop operation. If var/PF
operation is disabled, proceed to Step 3.
Step 3. Verify that the DECS-100 droop setting is not adjusted to 0% droop.
If the droop setting is adjusted to 0% droop, increase the setpoint above 0%.
If the droop setting is adjusted to above 0%, proceed to Step 4.
Step 4. Check for an open in the circuit connected to DECS-100 CT1 and CT2.
If there is an open circuit, repair as necessary.
If there is no open circuit, proceed to Step 5.
Step 5. Verify that all connections are correct according to Figures 4-6 through 4-9.
If connections are incorrect, correct the problem.
If connections are correct, proceed to Step 6.
Step 6. Verify that the load being applied to the generator for droop testing is not purely resistive.
If only a resistive load is being applied to the generator, apply an inductive load and retest.
If the load being applied to the generator is inductive, proceed to Step 7.
Step 7. Verify that your DECS-100 is compatible with the current sensing transformer (1 A or 5 A
secondary) being used. For example, a current sensing transformer with a 1 ampere output
rating would produce very little droop if your DECS-100 has a 5 ampere current transformer
input. Refer to Figure 1-1 to check the current transformer input of your DECS-100.
If the current transformer input is incorrect, replace the current sensing transformer or the
DECS-100 for compatibility.
If the current transformer input is correct, proceed to Step 8.
Step 8. If the above steps fail to correct the malfunction, replace the DECS-100 unit.
