IGS-NT - 3.3.0 New Features 2

2 Changes in the version 3.3.0
2.1 New features
Support of InteliVision 12T has been implemented.
New application MINT-BC has been implemented.
This application is intended for cooperation with the superordinate Bank Controller equipped by the
firmware IGS-NT-BC-1.2.0 or higher only.
Start/Stop command for subordinated gen-sets inside the bank is propagated internally. It is not needed
to configure (wire) the LBI: Sys start/stop signal of the gen-set.
MCB feedback is propagated from the Bank Controller to subordinated gen-sets internally. It is not
needed to configure (wire) the LBI: MCB feedback.
The setpoint #Pwr mgmt mode has been removed, the type of power management is propagated from
the superordinate Bank Controller internally.
All setpoints related to load reserves settings and Min Run Power settings have been removed, the type
of powermanagement is propagated from the superordinate Bank Controller internally.
The Setpoints ProcessControl: #SysBaseLoad, LocalBaseload, #SysPwrFactor, #SysLdCtrl PtM,
#SysPFCtrl PtM, SysBaseLdMode, SysBasePFMode have been removed from configuration.
Functionalities related to these setpoints are performed at the level of superordinated Bank Controller
(not in the subordinated gen-sets).
Some not relevant screens and objects have been removed from the screens description.

2.2 Repairs
Bus MeasError protection has not beeing working. The bug was fixed.
Problem with External values inserting via modbus was resolved.

IGS-NT - 3.3.0 New Features 3

3 Changes in the version 3.2.0
3.1 New features
New setpoint Mains stab del was added
After Mains fail, if the controller evaluates that Mains values (voltage and frequency) are in limits and
gen-set is currently started and it is not connected to the load , then this delay Mains stab del starts
counting. (during this delay the System Start signal is still activate)
When this Mains stab del expires , then the Mains ret del delay is activated (it starts counting)(and
System Start signal is deactivated
setpoint is placed in AMF settings setpoints group
Force value (FV) is available at this setpoint
when the counter Mains stab del is activated, then it not possible to change it by FV (setpoint is
changed, current counter not)
This delay is used only when the gen-set is not connect to the load
 System Start signal is activate during counting this Mains stab del delay

3.2 Repairs
Problem in Automatic priority swapping (for Power management) system was repaired
Problem in Automatic priority swapping (for Power management) system was repaired
When the LDS option is selected and a controller is adjusted to the Master role, the controller does not
initiate its master functions and therefore other controllers will not accept its priority changing messages.
Bug in SPTM application was repaired
During transformation from island operation to parallel with Mains (after Mains returns) the GCB was
cyclically opened and closed

IGS-NT - 3.3.0 New Features 4

4 Changes in the version 3.1.4
4.1 New features
Calculation of non-accepted bus voltage during Star Up Synchro procedure has been changed.
The bus voltage is not allowed to go over 1/3 of value given by setpoint BusNomV (originally it was
calculated from setpoint GenNomV). This change allows the SUS sequence even in the application
where the gen-set is connected to the transformer and the voltage measurement is situated to the side of
high voltage of the transformer. Basically it allows SUS sequence when there is high voltage at the side
of the bus and low voltage at the side of the gen-set.
Deactivation of voltage regulation while the group of gen-sets is synchronized to the mains in MINT
application.
In the previous firmware version the bigger difference between the common bus and mains voltage could
lead to unequal VAr sharing while the group of gen-sets where synchronized to the mains. The problem
was caused by active voltage regulation loop of the gen-set with lowest CAN2 address due to the
collision of more voltage requests from more sources in the same time.
Note: While the group of gen-sets is operating in island mode then only the gen-set with lowest CAN2
address is in charge of voltage regulation to allow to keep the equal VAr sharing among all the gen-sets.
No Oper conflict alarm is issued in MINT application when setpoint SynchroEnable = NO.

4.2 Repairs
Non-valid issuing of the alarm SUS Min power during the SUS start even when all conditions of the available
powerof the system are fulfilled. The bug has been fixed.
Watchdog of the controller recalled by changing of modes on InteliGen NT GC hardware. The bug has been
fixed.

IGS-NT - 3.3.0 New Features 5

5 Changes in the version 3.1.3
5.1 New features
Vector Shift protection support was added in MINT mode of Combi application.
Use the same settings in setpoint Group Mains protect as for SPTM or SPI application.
Since the MINT application controls only GCB, it only opens the GCB when Vector Shift protectio is
tripped regardless the settings of the setpoint VS/ROCF CBsel.
Setpoint VectorS prot = PARALLEL ONLY settings does not make sense. Vector Shift protection is
evaluated in parallel to mains operation only (MCB Feadback must be active). The Vector Shift
protection is not evaluated in island operation at all.

IGS-NT - 3.3.0 New Features 6

6 Changes in the version 3.1.2
6.1 Repairs
LBI startblocking no more connected with off load protection
Activation of LBI Startblocking does not cause stopping of the engine while it is running
ALI OperConflict in SPI application
Settings of setpoints Island enable = NO, Parallel enable = YES, Synchro enable = FORWARD caused
the ALI OperConflict. The bug has been fixed.
Invalid activation of Timers. Bug has been fixed
The IB-EML-SMS servis supported again
Available in connection with IG-IB v. 2.90, IB-NT v. 2.3.0, or on HW InteliGen NT BaseBox, InteliGen
NTC BaseBox, InteliSys NTC BaseBox with IB-COM v. 1.3.0.1.

IGS-NT - 3.3.0 New Features 7

7 Changes in the version 3.1.1
7.1 New features
New engine priority swapping mode called EFFICIENCY added
Use second level for more specific info when require
This mode works only with power management set to ABS(kW)
Because of compatibility of EFFICIENCY mode there has been additional delay 0.5s added after
SysAMFstrtDel is counted down in InteliGen NT and InteliSys NT controllers in MINT application
Function MinRunPower for power management is now available in InteliMains NT because compatibility
reasons of EFFICIENCY mode.
Modbus switch registers containing each 16 bits added to the firmware
It is possible to write these modbus switches by simple writing command (no command containing the
command + argument as for remote switches).
The modbus registers are shown in the controller in the form of two values and also as a set of logical
binary outputs. These outputs may be used further in the configuration and connected to other functions
in the controller.
StartUpSynchro function is now supported in all hardwares of InteliGen NT and InteliSys NT
This Function allows the start of gen-set with closed GCB and not excited alternator.
It is intended for fast synchronization of multiple gen-sets operating in parallel or for soft start of the load
characterized with hi inrush current (soft magnetizing of the transformer).
Read more about Start UpSynchroFunction in related Reference Guide.
UserButton pulses duration can now be changed by user
There is a new setpoint UserBtn pulse that allows user to choose the duration of UserButton pulse from
0.2s to 10.0s (previously UserButton pulse was 1.0s).
Default value changed to 0.2s.
Alarm Ofl StrtBlck is now removed, the start blocking is now indicated only by new logical binary output
Start Blocked
There is also new alarm ALI OperConflict that is indicating a problem with settings in ProcessControl
setpoints (e.g. Island and Parallel both disabled which means that the gen-sets will not run under any
circumstances).
New statistical value added kVAhours
This value is available in all applications.
This value is placed in Statistics group and shows the apparent energy produced by the gen-set.
New logical binary output function Initialized available
This logical binary output function can be used for indication of fully initialized controller after power on.
Furthermore it is useful to block Delay functions in the controller during the initialization phase of
controller power up (outputs of Delays in the controller are activated immediately during the power on if
Delay input is active prior and during the power up).

IGS-NT - 3.3.0 New Features 8

 Version naming now changed to three numbers at all times
Previously versions were named 3.1, 3.1.1, 3.1.2 and so on. Now the version are named 3.1.0, 3.1.1,
3.1.2
Behavior of Automatic Mains Fail function in SPTM (SPI) application changed
When the gen-set is configured to start in case of the mains fail the internal start command remains
active until the GCB is closed or the mains gets recovered for time longer than setpoint AMF
settings:MCB close del.
Originally the Internal start command has been canceled immediately after mains return and engine got
stopped immediately or after cooling (depends on the actual engine state).
The setpoint FastHistPeriod renamed to PremortHistPer and moved to the group Date/Time
InteliSys NTC BaseBox HW only.
The low limit of setpoint Engine params:MaxFuleDrop changed to 0 = OFF
Use the zero settings to deactivate the Fuel Theft Protection.
Range of RPM pickup of Inteli AIN8 extended to 65000 RPM.
New TIER IV pictograms added (DEF, Failure Emission System).

7.2 Repairs
Problem with DISTBIN timeout in combination with I-CR-R resolved
Problem with DISTBIN timeout in combination with I-CR-R resolved
PLC block Delay in pulse mode no longer shortens pulses by 100ms
CANNegotiation warning (Wrn AddrErr) is no longer displayed when synchronized setpoint is changed while
CANNegotiation function is active
Power and current is now written in history correctly after Emergency manual deactivation
InteliVision terminals no longer stop communication if 100% of history memory columns in the controller is
used
The false alarm is no longer indicated when controller and IGS-PTM module are power on at the same time
Logical binary output Horn flashing is no longer delayed by 2s against logical binary output Horn
Regulation of Base PF in parallel to mains wrong calculated when power format set to 0,01MW MVAr MVA
MX kV or 0,01MW MVAr MVA MX V. The bug has been fixed.
Not valid BOC EarthFaultCurr issued after the restart of the controller. The bug has been fixed.
Statistic of pulse counter on Inteli AIN8 gets latched. Bug has been fixed.
Behavior of LBO Horn in case of Analog or Binary protection unified.
Pressing of Stop button during running of pre-lubricate function and consequent pressing of Start button
caused the interruption of pre-lubricate function. The bug has been fixed.
The problem of simultaneous activation of LBI ECU StoppedEng and Rem Star/Stop fixed.
