Basler Electric DGC-2020HD Digital Genset Controller

Overview

The DGC-2020HD Digital Genset Controller is a rugged, reliable, all-in-one

genset control and load share system. It is designed to be a complete and

adaptive controller that is well suited for mains fail, paralleled units, and

systems with multiple buses. The DGC-2020HD has all of the necessary

features for complete genset control, protection, and metering with an

extensive, but easy-to-use programmable logic system.

Features

• Three-phase generator metering

• Up to two buses with three-phase voltage metering

• Three dedicated generator CTs with up to four auxiliary CTs

• Engine metering and genset control

• Standard generator protection includes 27. 59. 81O/U, 32. and 40Q

• Enhanced generator protection includes 46. 47. 51. 78. and 81ROCOF in

addition to the standard generator protection elements

• Enhanced Plus Differential option includes neutral (87N) and generator

phase (87G) differentials with the enhanced sensing option

• Resistive sender inputs for oil pressure and coolant temperature

(analog senders are optional)

• Dual CAN bus ports: One for SAE J1939 engine ECUs and one for

expansion modules

• Dual Ethernet ports (fiber Ethernet is optional)

• Load sharing of kW and kvars over Ethernet

• Soft loading/unloading with zero-power transfer capability

• Two analog inputs standard and up to four with analog sender option

• Governor and AVR bias outputs with the ability to be programmed as

standard analog outputs

• Sixteen programmable contact inputs, 12 programmable contact

outputs, three pre-programmed outputs (Prestart, Start, Run)

• Three programmable LEDs for customized annunciation

• Color touch screen LCD (optional)

• Connects to up to four AEM-2020 Analog Expansion Modules, four

CEM-2020 Contact Expansion Modules, and one VRM-2020 Voltage

Regulation Module

• Peak Shave and Import/Export power control modes maximize system

efficiency during peak hours

• Load anticipation function improves speed recovery during large load

application and rejection

• Various system breaker configurations provide the DGC-2020HD with

the flexibility to control systems in a wide range of applications

• Automatic load shedding functionality ensures that a system will

remain up, even if it’s at a reduced capacity

Benefits

• Microprocessor-based controller with easy-to-use integrated

programmable logic and load sharing capabilities reduces space

and installation costs while providing increased flexibility and

functionality.

• Rugged, potted design provides ultimate reliability in extreme

environments.

• The Offline Simulator, provided in BESTlogic™Plus, helps test and

troubleshoot logic without the need for expensive hardware.

• Fully programmable I/O, including an option for two analog inputs,

provides exceptional flexibility in all applications.

• Feature-rich design provides exceptional control for advanced

paralleling, load sharing, and protection.

• Capable of monitoring a generator and up to two buses with up

to seven current transformers (CTs), the DGC-2020HD provides

metering and protection for a wide array of applications.

• Built-in real-time monitor for analysis during commissioning and

tuning eliminates the need for external monitoring and decreases

commissioning time and costs.

• Capable of communicating with up to four AEM-2020 Analog

Expansion Modules, four CEM-2020 Contact Expansion Modules,

and one VRM-2020 Voltage Regulation Module, vastly increasing

the I/O capabilities and overall flexibility of the DGC-2020HD and

eliminating the need for external peripheral devices.

• Selectable breaker schemes in BESTlogicPlus make breaker

control with the DGC-2020HD quick and simple.

• Contains an extensive number of communication options which

allow for easy integration into a wide variety of control systems.

• Segmented system capabilities allow for system control and

management, making the DGC-2020HD a fit for any system.

• Tie Breaker Control mode now widens the applications for the

DGC-2020HD, allowing for wider applications such as Main-Tie

Main.
