Meccalte Genset Controller MC200
The MC 200 controller is used where one or more mains supplies arerequired to parallel with the generator bus, it also features a powerfulPLC to ensure site specific design details can be accommodated. Alarge full colour display presents operating status in a clear easy to viewformat. A generous input and output capability with the ability to addexpansion where needed, which means complex sites can be tackledwith ease.The MC200 provides both mains monitoring and automatic transferswitch control functions (AMF). In addition it can be configured toprovide both forward and back synchronizing with the mains supply andgenerating set bus, allowing a ‘no-break’ transfer in either direction.While the generators are in parallel to mains, the MC200 monitors theincoming mains supply and should a failure be detected the mainscircuit breaker will be opened to isolate the genset bus from the mains.The MC200 provides control of both a Mains Circuit Breaker (MCB) anda Master Genset Circuit Breaker (MGCB).The MC200 will synchronize all gensets (controlled by the GC400,GC600 or DST4602Evo parallel controllers) to the mains, with a softtransfer of the load from the gensets to the mains, thus avoiding anyblackout on the load.The embedded ‘genset management’ logics will allow selection of thenumber of running sets according to the load, and integrates perfectlywith the same load management present in the genset parallelcontrollers.The MC200 can be combined with parallel controllers. In addition, ifthe plant includes a tie breaker, it can be controlled by the BTB200controller. Communication between devices is managed with a singleCANBUS connection (PMCBus).The MC200 can also be used in a ‘standalone’ mode as a synchronizerand load sharer across a specific breaker controlling a third partygenset.
Product Introduction:
MAIN FEATURES
• Start/stop commands for the generators via the PMCBus
• An internal synchronizer with voltage, frequency and phasedifferences control
• Management of active power setpoints for the generators, to allowthe gradual transfer of the load
• Management of power factor setpoints for the generators, whenoperating in parallel with the mains
• Fixed power control when in parallel to mains (BASE LOAD), with thepower setpoint for the generators adjustable by parameter or byanalogue input
• Variable power control when in parallel to mains (IMPORT EXPORT,or variable kW on the generators to guarantee a fixed power on themains), with power setpoint for the mains adjustable by parameter orby analogue input
• The loss of mains protections, to isolate the generators from themains in case of failure of the mains itself
• The LOAD SHEDDING function (non-priority load disconnection),with 4 available levels
• The PEAK SHAVING and PEAK LOPPING functions (start ofgenerators due to excessive demand of the load from the mains)
• Using the internal calendar clock (with rechargeable backup battery):
• Periodical genset’s start-up with programmable rate (this testcan be done without load, in parallel to the mains or in islandmode by transferring the loads from the mains to the generators)
• Selectable days and time intervals in which the generators mustnever be started
• Selectable days and time intervals in which the generators mustbe started even if the mains is present
• Periodical and ‘on-event’ history logs
• Embedded alarm sounder
• Multilanguage display (EN, IT, FR, PT, ES, RU)
EMBEDDED FUNCTIONS
The MC200 offers true RMS measures for:
• Mains voltages• Genset bus bars voltages
• Circulating currents
• Active, reactive, apparent power and power factor on the mains (totaland by phase)
• Active, reactive, apparent power and power factor on gensets busbars (total)
The MC200 is equipped with inputs and outputs, both digital andanalogue, all freely configurable, to meet the specific needs of theapplication.Thanks to the configurable AND/OR ‘Logics’, and a large and powerfulbuilt-in PLC it is possible to configure specific operating sequences foreach type of application.The controller is equipped with a large 4.3‘’colour graphic display, withicons and symbols, for a quick review of measurements (mains andgensets) and system status. It also allows the manual opening andclosing of both the mains circuit breaker (MCB) and the master gensetcircuit breaker (MGCB), via two dedicated buttons.
