DESCRIPTION
The highly capable GC600 processor-based genset controller, is extremely well featured for parallel applications, it includes a large PLC to ensure customers’ onsite application requirements can be fully met.
A large full colour display makes these controllers suitable for a wide range of applications while presenting operating status in a clear easy to view format.
Available in two versions, It can be interfaced with both CANBUS J1939 electronic engines and traditional engines, with digital/analogue sensors.
Based on the type of plant, the most convenient version is available:
GC600 is well recommended in case of multiple gensets working in parallel In island mode.Multiple parallel to the mains is also included.
GC600Mains is the perfect solution for the management of a single genset working in parallel to the mains by the internal power regulator.
This version is especially recommended in case of CHP plants, where some additional performances are required for the management of the auxiliary services of the plant.
Soft loading and unloading is automatically performed. In this case, the controller is able to directly control the Mains Circuit Breaker also in manual mode, through the specific button on the controller.
Both GC600 versions have a PLC with PID blocks. Customized logics are therefore available, avoiding the use of external traditional PLC.
Based on the load demand, the controller is able to automatically start/stop the genset.A smart load management is available, in case of a power station composed by gensets of different nominal powers, it is possible to automatically select the most convenient gensets able to supply the load, avoiding any waste of fuel and power.Automatic running hours equalization is also available.
GC600 and GC600Mains have a TFT 4.3’’ high-quality coloured display, for an easy and quick visualization of the genset measures and statuses.
Comprehensive communications are also available as standard, like USB, RS232, RS485 (insulated) and Ethernet for the remote monitoring. The adjustable parameters of the controller allow its use for standard and customized tasks.
All the parameters can be set directly by the controller’s keyboard or, alternatively using the free software tool (BoardPRG3), available from SICES’ website. It is also available a free PLC editor software, for PLC logic setting.
GC600 and GC600Mains provides storage for occurred events and periodical data.Stored info can be accessed and viewed from the front panel display.
GC600 and GC600Mains include a hardware watchdog able to advise the user in case of the internal microcontroller failure.

OPERATION MODE
OFF/RESETEngine start inhibition.
The load is forced to be supplied from the mains.
When the engine is running and the operating mode is changed to ‘OFF’ position, the engine shutdown sequence is
activated.
Reset of all alarms. Enable parameters change (programming).
PROGRAMAccess to all programmable parameters.
Programming access can be controlled by means a three-level password.
Some parameters can be changed even if the engine is running.
MANUALEngine manual START and STOP controls are enabled.
The genset protection functions are activated.
The starting command is automatically disabled when the engine is running.
MCB and GCB pushbuttons are enabled when the genset is in operating range.
Their function depend on the operating mode selected.
Manual synchronization can easily accomplished by built in function.
AUTOMATIC
The operating sequence depends on the selected application:
Single Prime Mover, Stand-by, Stand-by and Short Time Parallel, Single Parallel to Mains, Multiple Prime Mover, Multiple
Parallel to Mains.
TESTAutomatic start for testing operations with safety protections enabled.
Test can be made unloaded, loaded or in parallel to mains.
Upon mains failure, the load is immediately supplied by the genset.
