DM-400 Installation Instructions

1. About this document

General purpose
This document contains the installation instructions for DEIF’s Delomatic 400, DM-400
Gas/Hydro plant controller for gas engine/hydro turbine-driven generators.

The general purpose is to give the designer/installer important information on how to perform a
proper installation.

Please make sure to read this handbook before working with the DM-400
controller and the genset to be controlled. Failure to do this could result in
damage to the equipment or human injury.

Intended users
This document is mainly intended for the designer/installer.

Contents/overall structure
The document is divided into chapters, and in order to make the structure simple and easy to
use, each chapter will begin from the top of a new page.

2. Warnings and legal information

Legal information and responsibility

DEIF takes no responsibility for installation or operation of the generator set. If there is any doubt
about how to install or operate the generator set controlled by the unit, the company responsible
for the installation or the operation of the set must be contacted.

In order to obtain safe and trouble-free use of the DM-400, it is important that
transport, storage, mounting and commissioning is done according to standards.

The units are not to be opened by unauthorised personnel. If opened anyway, the
warranty will be lost.

Electrostatic discharge awareness

Sufficient care must be taken to protect the terminals against static discharges during the
installation. Once the unit is installed and connected, these precautions are no longer necessary.

Safety issues
Installing the unit implies work with dangerous currents and voltages. Therefore, the installation
should only be carried out by authorised personnel who understand the risks involved in working
with live electrical equipment.

Be aware of the hazardous live currents and voltages. Do not touch any AC
measurement inputs as this could lead to injury or death.

Extra care must be taken that components are not replaced with power on the system.

Definitions
Throughout this document, a number of notes and warnings will be presented. To ensure that
these are noticed, they will be highlighted in order to separate them from the general text.

Notes

The notes provide general information which will be helpful for the reader to
bear in mind.

Warnings

The warnings indicate a potentially dangerous situation which could result in

death, personal injury or damaged equipment, if certain guidelines are not
followed.

3. General overview

As a minimum, the DM-400 system consists of a double-height (6 HE, 266 mm height) 19” rack
mounted with the necessary I/O modules and a 12” colour graphic touch screen operator
interface.

The DM-400 has a TCP/IP interface with a built-in webserver. This means that the graphic
screens are stored here and can be accessed from any computer on the internet, using a free of
charge DEIF HMI Client software and thereby enabling remote control and monitoring from
anywhere in the world.

Connecting an RS232 GSM modem enables SMS clear text alarm messages.

4. Components

The DM-4 system consists of three different plug-in modules, placed in a 19” rack. Each module
holds its own microprocessor and operates independently of the other modules. The modules
communicate with each other using the 19” rack backplane.

Each rack holds as a minimum:

- 1 pc. PCM 4.3 (Power supply and Control Module)

- 1 pc. SCM 4.1 (Synchronising and Control Module)
- 1 pc. IOM 4.2 (Input Output Module)

19” rack
The rack depth is 180 mm.

PCM 4.3 module

General
The PCM 4.3 is at the same time power supply and main control module for the DM-400 system. It
is placed leftmost in the rack and provides power as well as data exchange between the modules
via the backplane. Furthermore, it holds the main control programme (application software),
meaning that it controls the common functionality for the plant.

Height: 8TE

Power supply
The Delomatic 400 requires 24 V DC (nominal) power supply. Please refer to the data sheet for
exact voltage range and power consumption.
If the system is to comply with IEC60255-11 for surviving power supply dips, a
system with a battery charger and a 24 V DC battery backup is needed to
maintain supply voltage. The size of battery is dependent on what other loads
are connected, but as a rule-of-thumb, the battery must be at least 24 V DC, 10
AH.

Communications
CANbuses: 3
CANbus speed: 125...1000 kBaud
RS485 interface: 1
RS485 speed: 9600...38400 Baud
ARC net interface: 1
ARC net speed: 2.5 MBaud
Ethernet interface: 1
Ethernet speed: 10/100 MBaud
Modem interface: 1
Modem interface type: TTL
Modem interface speed: 9600...38400 Baud

The modem interface is used for GSM modem connection via a TTL/RS232 converter (DEIF PI-1
converter).

The 9-p SUB-D connector for the modem is named “Display” on the module
front.

The cabling of the CAN/RS485/ARC net communication interfaces must be carried out with a good
quality screened twisted pair cable.

Make sure that the cable screen covers as much of the cable as possible and is terminated with
tape or heat shrink tubes.

It is essential that the “screen” terminals are used for the cable screen and that
rd
cable screen is connected to DEIF units only. Connecting it to ground or 3
party units may cause the communication to fail.
