 Operating Modes
The PCC 1302 control is operated by the HMI 211 front panel buttons. There are 5
modes used regularly by gen set (DG) operators:
 Off Mode
 Manual Mode
 Auto Mode
 Sleep Mode

15
DG and ATS troubleshooting within solutions

 Sleep Mode
The PCC 1302 enters a low power
Sleep mode when the current draw
from the battery is less than 60 mA.
Sleep mode is automatically enabled
and the display will turn itself off after
five minutes of keypad inactivity in Off
or Auto mode.
Sleep mode can only be disabled be
installing a jumper between TB15-1
and TB15-5. The control will not enter
Sleep mode if there are any active,
unacknowledged faults or if the control
is in Manual Run mode.

Once in sleep mode, these signals can wake up the control:


• Local E-Stop – Active when switch is open
• Remote E-Stop – Active when switch is open
• Manual Start
• PCC Net System Wakeup
• Remote Start
• Auto Mode
• Configurable Input #3
• Configurable Input #4
 Off Mode

Pressing the Off button on the HMI 211


will put the control in Off mode. When in
Off mode, the control does not allow the
gen set(DG) to start. If the genset(DG)
is already running and the control is set
to Off, it initiates a normal shutdown
sequence. When in Off mode, all active
faults are reset.

16
DG and ATS troubleshooting within solutions

 Manual Run Mode

Pressing the Manual soft button while the control is in Off mode will put the PCC 1302
control in Manual mode. In Manual mode, the genset starting and stopping is controlled
manually by the front panel buttons. When the Man soft button is pushed, the control is
put into Manual mode with a new screen showing on the graphical display. This screen
has an arrow actively pointing at a second Man soft button, in a different location than
the previous. Pressing the soft button below the new Man indication will initiate a normal
start sequence. A remote start signal has no effect while the control is in Manual mode.
If the second Man button is not pressed within ten seconds of entering Manual mode,
the control will revert to Stop mode.
 Auto Mode

17
DG and ATS troubleshooting within solutions

Pressing the Auto soft buttons while the control is in Off mode will put the PCC 1302
control in Auto mode. In Auto mode, the genset(DG) starting and stopping is controlled
automatically by a remote run signal.
When the Auto soft button is pushed, a new screen shows on the graphical display.
This screen has an arrow actively pointing at a second Auto soft button, in a different
location than the previous. Pressing the soft button below the new Auto indication will
put the control into Auto mode. The green Auto LED will light and the red Not in Auto
LED will no longer be lit. When the control senses a remote start signal, the green
Remote Start LED will light and the genset (DG) will begin a normal start sequence.
The genset(DG) can start at any time while in Auto mode. Never service the genset(DG)
while it is in Auto mode. Accidental starting of the genset(DG) during troubleshooting
can cause severe personal injury or death. Disable the genset(DG) before
troubleshooting.

 Connecting HMI 211

This is the rear view of the HMI 211. It has two connections, J1 and J2. These are
essentially identical. J1 or J2 is the connection between the HMI 211 and the PCC 1302
control board. The other connection can be used to “daisy chain” to other PCC Net
devices such as gauges, annunciators, etc.

19
DG and ATS troubleshooting within solutions

 PCC 1302 Control Board

The PCC 1302 control board is made up of a single control board in a large potting
shell. There are several connection points on the board. TB1, at the bottom, is where all
customer connections are made.
The other connections on the board go to the engine, alternator, current transformers,
and communications cables.

20
DG and ATS troubleshooting within solutions

 PCC 1302 Connectors

All connectors use a tension or mechanical latch to hold the harness jack in place. All
connectors are keyed so the harness jack cannot easily be inserted incorrectly.
DS1 flashes to let you know the control board is operating properly. This is the
“heartbeat” of the control and will blink once a second when the control is awake and
operating. The heartbeat will stop blinking when the control is asleep. If the control
board has failed, the LED will cease blinking or blink more rapidly than one beat per
second.

21
DG and ATS troubleshooting within solutions

 TB1 Customer Connections

There are two different ground signals into the PCC 1302 Control. Battery Ground is a
battery negative connection for battery return. Signal Ground is a signal return for
customer inputs. All grounds on TB1 are signal return only. They are not the same
potential as Battery Ground. Using Battery Ground for one of these inputs can
contribute to control board failure.

22
DG and ATS troubleshooting within solutions

 J20 Gen Set Inputs and Outputs

J20 is the connection to the PCC1302 board that has inputs and outputs for various
items and drivers relevant to the gen set operation.

23
DG and ATS troubleshooting within solutions

 J11 Engine Inputs and Outputs

J11 is another connection to the PCC1302 board that has inputs and outputs for various
items and drivers relevant to the engine/ECM operation. These connections include
both analog signals and PGI CAN Link, which is the network connection between the
PCC1302 board and the ECM. PGI CAN Link is a proprietary communication protocol
(Cummins owned) that is used to communicate with Cummins ECMs.

24
DG and ATS troubleshooting within solutions

 J12 Genset CT Connections

J12 is the connection between the PCC1302 board and the current transformers (CTs)
that monitor the current output of the generator. CTs are polarity sensitive, and have a
dot on one side of them which must face the source (generator output). In that sense,
the secondary’s (wires) are polarity sensitive as well. Flipping the secondary’s is the
same as physically installing the CT backwards.

25
DG and ATS troubleshooting within solutions

• J22 Voltage Sensing Inputs

J22 is the connection between the PCC 1302 and the generator output. It is used
for generator output sensing (voltage and frequency).
The PCC 1302 can be used on single phase or three phase applications.
The maximum input voltage is 600 V AC, not to be confused with the regulator
power input, which is limited to 240 V AC.

26
DG and ATS troubleshooting within solutions

 J17 and J18 Excitation Output and Input

J17 is the output from the PCC1302 board to the alternator excitation system.
J18 is the input from the voltage regulation power supply. The PCC 1302 will operate
in either a self-excited (shunt excitation) mode or in PMG excitation mode.
J18 can receive input from either the alternator output, or from phase 1 and 2 of a PMG.
There are three connector pins; however, only two of them are used. The J18-1 and 2
inputs are limited to a maximum input of 240 VAC.

27
DG and ATS troubleshooting within solutions

 J25 Display Connections

J25 is the connection between the PCC1302 board and the display. The display
includes the HMI, gauges, and E-Stop switch.

28
DG and ATS troubleshooting within solutions

 TB15 Modbus Connection

TB15 is used as a service tool connection point and for Modbus monitoring. Plugging a service
tool harness into TB15 will wake up the control because the service tool harness has a jumper
from TB15-1 to TB15-5.

2.2 Automatic Transfer Switch(ATS)


An Automatic Transfer Switch(ATS) is a device that switches an electrical load between
two different sources of power.
Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS):
• A – Automatic: The operations of the ATS, when configured properly, happen
without intervention by a service technician or operator.
• T – Transfer: The ATS is an electrical device designed to “transfer” a customer’s
load between two power sources.
• S – Switch: At its most basic, the ATS is essentially a combination of a shared
bus and two switches. A shared bus is simply a collection point for one or more
power sources. One switch is there to open and close from Source 1, the
other is there to open and close from Source 2. The load is powered by a
connection to the shared bus in the middle.
• Basic Transfer Switch Construction

30
DG and ATS troubleshooting within solutions

If the Utility(mains) power is available


(represented by a green “U”), the Source
1 Switch is closed, the Source 2 Switch is
open, the customer’s Load (represented
by a yellow “L”) will be powered by
Utility(mains)

If the Genset(DG) power is available


(represented by a green “G”), the Source 2
Switch is closed, the Source 1 Switch is
open, the customer’s Load (represented by
a yellow “L”) will be powered by
Genset(DG).

31
DG and ATS troubleshooting within solutions

The EC control is mounted to the outside of the


• EC Control Panel cabinet door of the ATS.
The EC control comes in two different versions:
• TS1311 – Line-to-Line sensing
• TS1310 – Line- to-Line sensing
The TS1311 uses Line-to-Neutral sensing, while the
TS1310 uses Line-to-Line.
The EC control panel is made up of several LEDs
and Pushbuttons. This is accessible from the outside
of the ATS cabinet.
Configuration LEDs are used in configuration mode
to determine the parameter and value being
configured.
Indicator LEDs let the operator know which source
is available and which source the ATS is connected
to without having to open the cabinet door.
Pushbuttons allow the operator to configure the EC
control, Test and Exercise the system and override
certain Time Delays.

• ATS Status LEDs

The ATS status LEDs are lit to show what source(s)


are available, which source the ATS is connected to
and what mode the control is in.
Utility(Mains) Power Available LED (Green) is lit
when the utility(mains) is of acceptable voltage.
Utility(mains) Connected LED (Green) is lit when the
ATS is physically connected to the Utility(mains)
side of the switch, regardless of the availability of
utility(mains). This LED will flash as a result of a
failure to connect or disconnect from the
Utility(mains) side of the switch.

32
DG and ATS troubleshooting within solutions

• Pushbuttons

The test pushbutton is used to set or cancel a


test period, as well as navigate the
configuration function codes.
The override pushbutton is used to bypass
some time delays, cancel an active exercise
period, or stop the Utility(mains) or
Genset(DG) Connected LEDs from flashing
after a failure to disconnect or connect. It is
also used to scroll through the value codes in
configuration mode.
The Set Exercise pushbutton is used to set a
delayed repeat exercise period, start an
immediate exercise period, or cancel the
exercising schedules.

• Rear View of EC Control Panel

On the rear side of the door of the ATS is


the back side of the EC control. This is
where all of the inputs and outputs are
made.
The EC control has 3 terminal blocks:
P3 – Voltage Sensing
P4 – Inputs
P5 – Outputs

33
DG and ATS troubleshooting within solutions

• P3 – Voltage Sensor Inputs


P3 – Voltage Sensing (TS1311 Line-to-Neutral):
• P3-1 N Genset(DG) Sensing Voltage
• P3-3 L1 Genset (DG)Sensing Voltage
• P3-5 N Utility (mains)Sensing Voltage
• P3-7 L3 Utility (mains) Sensing Voltage
• P3-9 L2 Utility (mains)Sensing Voltage
• P3-11 L1 Utility (mains)Sensing Voltage

• P4 - Inputs

P4 is used for inputs in to the EC control.

These inputs are coming from the transfer switch mechanism from the Auxiliary Contacts and Customer
Connections.

P4 – Inputs:
• P4-1 Functional Earth Ground. Used as the common for the ATS position switches.
• P4-2 Remote Override (optional). Grounded to activate using P4-1 common. The remote
override acts exactly like the override pushbutton on the front of the control
• P4-3 Remote Test. Grounded to activate using P4-1 common. The remote test input will initiate a
test sequence similar to the pushbutton on the front of the control.
• P4-4 External Exerciser Clock. Grounded to activate, this is the input to the EC control that the
optional exerciser clock will use to force the switch into exercise periods without the use of the
integrated exercise clock
• P4-5 Transfer Inhibit. Grounded to activate. Prevents the switch from transferring
• P4-6 ReTransfer Inhibit. Grounded to activate. Prevents the switch from retransferring
• P4-7 Connected to Utility(mains) signal from ATS position switches. Grounded to activate. Tells
the EC control that the ATS mechanism is connected to Utility(mains)
• P4-8 Connected to Genset(DG) signal from ATS position switches. Grounded to activate. Tells
the EC control that the ATS mechanism is connected to Genset(DG)

34
DG and ATS troubleshooting within solutions

• Terminal Block P5 - Outputs

P5 is used primarily for outputs going from the EC control to the ATS mechanism. It is also where control
power comes into the EC control.
These outputs controlling the transfer switch mechanism, genset(DG), and the Elevator Pretransfer relay
by grounding (and opening) connection points on P5.
P5 – Outputs:
• P5-1 Open Utility (mains). The control grounds this point to energize the power relays to open
from Utility (mains).
• P5-2 Close Utility (mains). The control grounds this point to energize the power relays to close
to Utility (mains).
• P5-3 Open Genset (DG). The control grounds this point to energize the power relays to open
from Genset (DG).
• P5-4 Close Genset(DG). The control grounds this point to energize the power relays to close
to Genset (DG).
• P5-5 Elevator Pretransfer. Grounded to energize elevator pretransfer relay, to send signal to
elevator controller to stop and open doors at nearest floor
• P5-6 Genset (DG)Start Relay. Dry contact outputs for starting the genset(DG)
• P5-7 Genset (DG)Start Relay. Dry contact outputs for starting the genset(DG)
• P5-8 Ground Input. Negative genset(DG) battery connection for EC power supply
