1 - Introduction
The APM802 comprises a number of interconnected modules which exchange data to allow the command, control,
regulation and protection of one or more generators, following multiple configurations.
These configurations include the so-called "single" generator with or without a source ATS, synchronised generators,
used to create power plants which can in turn be synchronised with one or several low voltage (LV) and moderate
voltage (HVA) distribution networks.

1.1 - Safety/Conditions for use/Powering on

 Safety
The APM802 uses voltage sources of different origins, which are set to
potentials dangerous to the human body. For this reason, only qualified
personnel are authorised to start up and use the APM802.
Before reading this document, it is strongly recommended that the safety
instructions relating to starting up a generator are read.
DANGER SDMO Industries shall not be held responsible for failure to observe any of the
instructions described in this manual.

 Conditions of use
The conditions for use are given at the end of this manual (section 12). If a component of the equipment must be
replaced, it is necessary to pay attention to the effects of electrostatic discharges (consult the rules for handling given
in section 11.3).

The APM802 must be factory configured for your application. Any change to the parameters may
alter the behaviour of your installation or render it unstable.
IMPORTANT

 Powering on
Powering on is specific to the electrical equipment within which the APM802 is integrated. It is therefore necessary to
consult the wiring diagram for the equipment provided with this manual, before powering on.

This document is the property of SDMO Industries. Any communication, reproduction, publication, even partial, is
forbidden, except with the written authorisation of the owner.

To save power, the screen brightness is automatically reduced after an adjustable period of time (with no activity on
the screen). To return to the correct brightness, simply touch the screen.

1.3 - Who is this manual intended for?


This manual is intended for users and operators.

• The user (called User throughout this manual) has all the skills required to start up the generator or
the power station. He or she is capable of monitoring the generator or the power station to ensure it is
running correctly, and is able to interpret the electrical and mechanical indications provided in real time
on the different screens. He or she may have to check one or several parameters.

• The operator (called Operator throughout this manual), in addition to the user's skills, is fully
competent to modify one or several parameters, to change the operation of the installation. To do
this, the operator will have completed training provided by SDMO Industries beforehand.

1.4 - Contents of the manual


This manual provides an introduction to the various electrical equipment into which the APM802 is integrated, the
simplified architecture of the system and the information required regarding identification of the modules.
The manual then covers the various system options (called configurations) in terms of operation, then it gradually
describes all of the screens available for the User and Operator levels, and the various associated operating modes.
The manual ends with an outline of the technical characteristics of the HMI and base modules.

3 - Starting up the HMI and associated configurations
At the end of initialisation and depending on the configuration of the HMI, one of the "operating" screens below
appears (figures 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10).

Without touching the screen, it is possible to view the status of:


 the generator (operation, electrical and mechanical values, alarms, faults),
 the mains (presence of mains, electrical measurements),
 the power station (availability of the generators, electrical measurements),
 the breaking and/or protection organs, the operating mode, etc.

5 - Selection of the operating mode

When powered up, the touch pad automatically switches:


 to Out of service mode for the generator HMI,
 to Manual mode for the master control HMI.
Please note that the Out of service mode does not exist on the master control HMI.

The 4 keys - Out of service, Manual, Auto and Auto test represent the 4 operating modes of the APM802.
2 keys cannot be activated at the same time, apart from the Auto test key which, when pressed, also activates the
Auto key. Once one of the 4 operating modes is exited, the system switches automatically to another operating mode.

If the connection between the HMI and the base


module is lost, the message "Disconnection" is
displayed on the top bar, the touch pad rotating
button disappears and the 4 keys are greyed out.
Figure 22 - no connection

The images below show the normal sequence for switching from one operating mode to another (example: switching

5.1 - Operating modes on the generator HMI
5.1.1 - "Out of service" mode
Out of service mode prevents the generator being started accidentally. In this mode, the system is
locked and start-up is not possible, even if an external order is sent to the APM802. This mode is also
used during generator maintenance periods in addition to the emergency stop.

Any appearance of an alarm or fault will be signalled on the operating screen. The settings and configuration are still
possible by using the Menu key. All the functionalities on the top bar are operational, as is navigation in the operating
screen.

"Out of service" does not mean that the generator does not have the capacity to run.
Selecting Out of service mode, whilst the generator is running, leads to the immediate stop of
IMPORTANT the engine, without warning.

If, when running, a fault causes the generator to stop, the APM802 is automatically positioned to Out of service
mode. It will then only be possible to select a new operating mode once the fault has been acknowledged.

Note: in Out of service mode, the following message is displayed in the top bar: "Generator unavailable".

5.1.2 - "Manual" mode


Manual mode (on the generator HMI) is used to start up the generator in a way managed by the User or
the Operator. In this mode, everything is controlled manually. Once the mode is selected, the button
"ENGINE START" appears to the left of the engine.

After a visual inspection of the main mechanical parameters (battery voltage, levels, etc …), and if there are no faults
(apparent or not acknowledged), the generator can be started. The starting sequence is as follows:

1 2 3 4

nominal U
increase in F&U upstream of the
speed stabilise circuit breaker

5 6 7
The voltage U and the The sequence for stopping the generator
frequency F are available: is the reverse to the operation sequence:

in accordance with the - press the "ENGINE STOP" button,
configuration (A6xx) of the
module.
- generator stops completely, and the
"ENGINE START" button appears once
more.
Figure 23 - manual start/stop sequence

• Pressing the "ENGINE STOP" button causes the generator to stop immediately and the
alternator circuit breaker to open without switching to the cooling down period.
In power plant use mode, if the alternator circuit breaker is closed, it is possible to start up
another generator in manual mode and to synchronise it manually with the busbar, i.e. with
the generator or generators started previously.

• Manual synchronisation of a generator with another generator or with a busbar requires


IMPORTANT particular precautions explained in section 5.3.

forbidden, except with the written authorisation of the owner.
20
5.1.3 - "Auto" mode
Auto mode (on the generator HMI) is the current mode during solo use or as part of a power plant,
whether paralleled to the mains, or not. In this operating mode, everything is automatic: starting,
synchronisation, paralleling, the distribution of load between generators and the switching from one
voltage source to another.
Following an external order (mains detection, any external order, production request) taken into account by the
APM802, the start-up request is sent to the generator (single configuration) or to all the generators (power plant
configuration).
The operation of the generator or generators then completely depends on the configuration of the HMI module or
modules (configurations A6xx).

5.1.4 - "Auto test" mode


Auto test mode is used to periodically check that the generator or the power plant is running correctly as
per the configuration (see below).
Once this mode is selected, 2 or 3 keys appear on the touch pad (see the table below). Please note that
the Auto key also turns blue. Touching the Auto key cancels activation of Test auto mode.
Touching the End of test key if no test has actually been started yet switches to Auto mode.

Depending on the configuration, the text and/or the


number of the keys is different:

 Automatic scheduled stop or immediate stop if the "End of test" button is pressed.

Test on load
 Automatic start-up of the generator, increase in speed and voltage, stabilisation of frequency and voltage.
 Closure of the alternator circuit breaker.
 If the generator is in the paralleled to power plant or paralleled to mains configuration, we can observe the
synchronisation, paralleling and load distribution or transfer phases depending on the configuration.
 No automatic scheduled stop.

End of test
The End of test keys is used to stop the test (on or off load) manually, before the scheduled end of the test.

5.2- Operating modes on the master control HMI


5.2.1 - "Manual" mode
Manual mode (on the master control HMI) is used on the master control to carry out a manual test for
the mains and power plant protection organs (automatic transfer switch).
In this operating mode, the generators for the power plant are positioned on voltage and speed droop.

5.2.2 - "Auto" mode


Auto mode (on the master control HMI) is the current mode when using a power plant paralleled to the
distribution network. In this operating mode, everything is automatic: starting, synchronisation,
paralleling, the distribution of load between generators and the switching from one voltage source to
another.
Following an external order (mains detection, clock, etc.) taken into account by the APM802, the start request is sent
to all of the power plant's available generators.

except with the written authorisation of the owner.
21
5.2.3 - "Auto test" mode
Auto test mode (on the master control HMI) is used to periodically check that the power plant is running
correctly.
Once this mode is selected, 3 keys appear on the touch pad (Power plant test off load, Power plant
test on load and End of test). Please note that the Auto key also turns blue. Touching the Auto key
cancels activation of Test auto mode.
Touching the End of test key if no test has actually been started yet switches to Auto mode.

7 - Statuses and anomalies
- consult status messages,
Pressing the key is used to: - consult, analyse and process all anomalies which may be logged in real
time by the base module.

 A status represents an event which positions the generator, the power plant, a circuit breaker, etc., in a defined
situation (example: appearance of Stop mode).

 An anomaly is either an alarm (example: coolant temperature alarm), or a fault (example: oil pressure fault).
In general, the following is important:
- the fault appears in red on the screen and causes the generator to shut down (instantly or delayed,
depending on the programmed incidence),
- the alarm appears in orange on the screen and does not cause the generator to shut down.

It is possible to come across specific cases (example: fault message on the HMI screen, but processed as an alarm
by the PLC, so no engine shutdown).

7.1 - Consulting status messages


It is possible to consult status messages at any time. Depending on the status type, the APM802 will log different messages:

. Appearance
. Disappearance
. Appearance/Disappearance
. Present/Not present
. Open/Closed
. On/Off
. Start/End
On the timeline opposite, we can see:
- the appearance of "AUTO mode" (the disappearance of AUTO mode
is not recorded),
- the appearance and disappearance of "GEN SET AVAILABLE IN
Figure 35 - status message timeline
AUTO MODE".

After pressing the key, and if no fault or alarm is present (see ), select the following in dropdown menu A;
"Status messages history" (see below).

dropdown menu A

dropdown menu B

 () If the preceding key is flashing orange, at least one alarm is present. Refer to section 7.2 to deal with this alarm.
 () If the preceding key is flashing red, at least one fault is present. Refer to section 7.3 to deal with this fault.

dropdown menu A The previous timeline is logged as shown below.

7.2 - Appearance of an alarm 
The appearance of an alarm registered by the
APM802 leads to the following change:
 the  key flashes orange, with the number of
alarms which have appeared indicated under
the symbol,
 the "Horn stop" button appears (if this is wired
into the electrical equipment),

The statuses which precede the appearance of


the alarm are unchanged, for example:
 generator no. 1 running (F=50Hz and U=399V),
 message in the top bar:
" In production",
 switch in "Auto",
Figure 36 - appearance of an alarm

 Press the "stop horn" to stop the horn (or buzzer) sounding; the button disappears, and the  key stops flashing
and turns orange.

 Press the  key; a tab will then appear displaying more details on the nature of the alarm:

31
7.3 - Resetting an alarm
An alarm can disappear in 2 ways:
- manual action to resolve the cause which generated the alarm,
- automatic action following a status modification (e.g.: the temperature is automatically lowered).
The appearance of an alarm indicates to the user that a problem has occurred, but that the generator is still able to
run. An alarm can turn into a fault (with stops the generator), it is therefore necessary to intervene quickly to remove
any alarm. In case of doubt concerning the origin of an alarm, it is imperative to call our Technical Assistance Service.

A problem with the automatic oil make up


system (REN type) may be at the root of the
"low oil level" alarm previously registered.
After having resolved the automatic oil filling
issue, the alarm indicator will go out, and it
will then be possible to reset this alarm with
the button.

Figure 40 - resetting an alarm

Note that is also possible to reset an alarm from the tab of the last 3 anomalies, if this alarm is one of the 3 most
recent anomalies.

7.4 - Appearance of a fault



The appearance of a fault registered by the APM802 leads to the
following changes:
 the  key flashes red, with the number of faults which have
appeared indicated under the symbol,
 the touch pad is in the position: Out of service,
 the generator shuts down (F=0Hz and U=0V) (),
 there is a message in the top bar:  generator unavailable,
 the "Horn stop" button appears (if this is wired into the
electrical equipment),
 the opening of the generator circuit breaker (depending on the
type of fault),

Figure 41 - appearance of a fault


() Important: depending on the incidence of the fault, the generator shutdown may be deferred.

 Press the "stop horn" to stop the horn (or buzzer) sounding; the button disappears, and the  key stops flashing
and turns red.

 Press the  key; a tab will then appear displaying more details on the nature of the fault:

7.5 - Resetting a fault


A fault can disappear in 2 ways:
- manual action on the cause which generated the fault (e.g.: elimination of the emergency stop)
- automatic action following a status modification (e.g.: the temperature is automatically lowered).
The appearance of a fault indicates to the user that a potentially serious problem has occurred. The user must then
ask the following question:
Will it be possible to restart the generator after the fault is eliminated?
In case of doubt concerning the origin of a fault, it is imperative to call our Technical Assistance Service.

If the fact that a third party has pressed the


emergency stop button is at the root of the
"emergency stop triggered" fault previously
registered.
After having unlocked the emergency stop
button, the fault indicator will go out, and it
will then be possible to reset this fault with
the button.

Figure 45 - resetting a fault

Note that it is also possible to reset a fault from the tab of the last 3 anomalies, if this fault is one of the 3 most recent
anomalies.

7.6 - Appearance of a fault and an alarm
In reality, the alarms and faults often appear "mixed up". When an alarm and a fault appear, priority is given to the
display of the fault. For this reason, the  key flashes red.
By pressing the  key, the alarm and the fault appear in the anomalies tab in chronological order.

9.4 - Logging in
9.4.1 - Principle
By default, the APM802 is logged in as User. If a parameter needs editing to ensure the installation runs correctly,
then the Operator must log in to the system.

System login via the key brings up a virtual keypads and


two entry fields: "Login" and "Password".
A flashing cursor is positioned in the "Login" field.
1 Enter the login name using the virtual keypad (sent during
SDMO training).

2 Tap the "Password" entry field, and the cursor is positioned in this field.
3 Enter the password (sent during SDMO training).
4 Confirm with the key.
Note: the user name and password comprise digits and capital letters.

If they are not entered correctly, the window opposite appears.


- pressing "OK" brings up the login keypad again,
- pressing "x" closes the login window, without trying to log in again.

The virtual keypad closes and the "Login" section


appears, showing the Operator that he or she has
logged in correctly. Please note that there is a key next
to the man in a hard hat (Operator logged in).

The login section disappears after five seconds and the key is greyed out. The Operator is 'logged
in' to the system for a period of two hours. It is possible to log out of the system at any time.

To log out, press the login key again to bring up the login section, which will remain visible if no action is carried out.

Tapping the bottom of this section will make it disappear.


Pressing the "Log out" key, logs the user out of the system
and closes the section.
The "Operator logged in" time remaining counts down on
the right of this section.

Whilst remaining logged in a Operator, it is possible to


prohibit access by switching the system to User.
In this case, it will no longer be possible to edit the
parameters. The Operator logged in time remaining
counts down normally.
The section is closed in the same way.

Please note that if a setting is carried out on one of the generator HMI modules, this setting is sent by the digital link
to all the other generator HMI modules and to the master control HMI module (if present), to avoid any inconsistency
within the power plant.

Power management is used to best control the percentage of load present at a given time across the power plant, and
thereby optimises the service life of the generators, preventing them from running when it is not necessary.

The principle of power management between generators is explained below with 2 generators with power P=640KW
(the principle is the same with a power plant containing x generators).
 The starting threshold is set at 70%, which is 448kW.
 The stop threshold is set at 30%, which is 384kW.

During start-up, all the generators start in a mode known as "global operation|". This mode avoids the power plant
collapsing in the event of a load requiring the contribution of all the generators.

 At the end of global operation, the total


load is:
 greater than the starting threshold for
GS#2  the indication 448kW is

 greater than the stop threshold for load

The "time before generator stop" delay is
activated, at the end of the delay, load
shedding from GS#2 to GS#1 starts.


 Load shedding of power from GS#2 to
GS#1.
The ramp down time depends on the
power to be shed.

 End of ramp down, the power of GS#2


is zero, the circuit breaker for GS#2
opens, GS#2 starts the cooling phase
and stops.

P(kW) GS#1 increases


P(kW) GS#2 decreases
ramp down in progress end of ramp down

If the power increases again, we will see the same sequence but in the other direction:
- delay before start-up of GS#2, the start-up of GS#2,
- synchronisation of GS#2 with GS#1 and GS#2 circuit breaker closes,
- load shed from GS#2 to GS#1 and load distribution.

() The dropdown list only appears on the screen if CAN Bus #2 is an input/output, therefore if the parameter "ECU
communication" is selected at 0. In the event that CAN Bus #2 is used for the ECU then only the message "CAN #1"
will appear at the top of the screen.

() The dropdown list varies depending on the amount of modules and their numbers on the screens "6.3.1-CAN#1
inputs/outputs" and "6.3.2-CAN#2 inputs/outputs".

() The sensor PT100 is a resistance detector, used to measure the temperature. These electrical specifications
are well defined. At 0°C, the resistance is 100 Ohms and at 100°C, the resistance is 138.5 Ohms. It is used to
measure high temperatures (for example: exhaust temperature). There are several operating temperature ranges
(range from -200°C to +100°C, range from 100°C to +850°C).

() The K sensor (or Thermocouple) is formed of two alloys (Chromel and Alumel). The "hot junction" (measuring
point) is the junction of the two alloys, the "cold junction" is the other end of the two alloys remaining open and which
provides a variable voltage, which is a function of the temperature at the other end. The measurement range is very
wide (from -40°C to +1200°C).

Figure 119 - "Function key" screen

After pressing the key, the screen is brought to the front, which allows the
information underneath this screen to be retained.

On the figure opposite, it is still possible to start the generator in manual


mode, as the "ENGINE START" button is still visible and operational.

 To use one of the function keys which have already been programmed,
press the desired key.
Each key then acts as a remote control switch.

 First press on the desired key:


- the function is started,
- the key turns blue.

 Second press on the same key:


- the function is stopped,
- the key turns dark grey again.

Each key declared active in the "5.1.4-Function key" menu is linked to a PLC specific to each key. This PLC can be
viewed in the "Applications" screen and under the "Ladder tools" icon (see section 8.8).

To return to the operating screen, it is enough to press on the “Function key” key.

11 - Packaging, storage and handling of the modules
11.1 - Packaging
 Each module is supplied separately in a cardboard box.
 Each cardboard box has a glued identification label, which corresponds to the module reference.
 The modules must remain in their original packaging until they are integrated, i.e. "mechanically" and "electrically"
installed, in the control/command equipment.

11.2 - Storage
The storage conditions described below must be strictly adhered to, otherwise there is a risk that the product warranty
will be completely voided by SDMO and/or by the manufacturer of the products.

 Store in a location free from dust.


 Temperature: from -20°C to +70°C.
 Relative humidity: from 5% to 95% with no condensation.
 The modules may be stacked on top of each
other, provided the following conditions are
observed:
- stored flat  recommended
- stored at an angle  not recommended
Figure 120 - stored flat Figure 121 - stored at an angle

11.3 - Handling
11.3.1 - Module packed in its box
 No particular conditions need to be observed; handle the products with care, avoiding any impacts.
 Bring the modules as close as possible to the workstation, before removing them from their original packaging.

11.3.2 - Module not packed in its box


All electronic equipment is sensitive in varying degrees to static electricity. To protect the components against the
effects of static electricity, it is necessary to follow the following special precautions to minimise or prevent any
electrostatic discharges.

 Insofar as possible, avoid wearing synthetic clothing and wear cotton clothing whenever possible, as this does not
generate static electricity.

 Before removing the module from its packaging, touch a metal earth with your hand to discharge the body of any
static electricity, which could cause damage to the electronic components.

 When installing the module in its surroundings, or if you move outside the working area, it will be necessary to touch
a metal earth again when re-entering the working area, as any movement along the ground can charge the body with
static electricity.

 If a module needs replacing (for instance, for repair), place the replaced
module in its original packaging or, if not possible, in an antistatic plastic
bag of a suitable size for the module.

Figure 122 - antistatic plastic bag

It is formally prohibited to lift up the metal enclosure; failure to observe this risks voiding the product
warranty provided by SDMO and/or the product manufacturer completely.
