Automatic Gen-set Controller, multi-line 2
1.1

4189340258H

Warnings and legal information

This manual gives guidelines to the use and installation of the DEIF multi-line 2 automatic gen-set controller. It is, however, not a
complete installation instruction. Therefore, even if terminal numbers are shown in the drawings, the drawings are to be used as
guidance only.
Installing and operating the multi-line 2 AGC product implies work with dangerous currents and voltages, and therefore qualified
personnel should do it only.
Care must be taken during the installation to protect the terminals against static discharges. Once the units are installed and
connected, these precautions are no longer necessary.
DEIF takes no responsibility for operation or installation of the generator set. If there is any doubt about how to install or operate the
system on which the multi-line 2 AGC product is measuring, the company responsible for the installation or the operation must be
contacted.

1.2

Standard functions

The multi-line 2 AGC is a protection and control unit for a generator driven by a diesel engine. It will carry out all necessary tasks to
control and protect a gen-set, regardless of the use of the generator. This means that the multi-line 2 AGC can be used for several
application types such as:

Stand-alone gen-set
Gen-set in island operation, load sharing
Automatic mains failure with starting of the gen-set. No back synchronising when the mains returns
Automatic mains failure with starting of the gen-set and back synchronising when the mains returns
Gen-set in parallel with mains in fixed load mode
Gen-set in parallel with mains in peak shaving mode

The selection of the application type is done in the system setup. The AGC is only intended to be configured to one of the above
application types. It is possible to operate the AGC in three modes:
Auto (only AMF and peak shaving mode the AGC controls the gen-set and the breakers according to the operational state)
Semi-auto (manual control and activation of the sequences)
Test (manual starting and loading of the gen-set)
The multi-line 2 measuring system is true RMS 3-phase measurement of generator voltage, generator current and mains voltage.

1.2.1

Language

English, German, French or Spanish language can be chosen via the system menu structure.

1.2.2

Standard functions

The AGC has the following control and protection functions:


Engine protection. The engine alarm extension card has the following configurable inputs and outputs:
- 4 420 mA inputs
- 1 tacho input
- 1 binary input
- 2 PT100 inputs
AMF functions, Automatic Mains Failure with engine start/stop logic
- Automatic starting of the gen-set
- Operation of the mains and generator breaker
- Back synchronising of the gen-set to mains when the mains returns
- Stopping of the gen-set
Peak shaving with engine start/stop logic
- Automatic starting of the gen-set
- Operation of the mains and generator breaker
- Load control
- Stopping of the gen-set

These outputs are active outputs i.e. they use the internal power supply. The outputs are galvanically separated from each other and
the rest of the AGC unit. The individual output can be selected (in display or via utility software) to represent any AC measuring value
or related values (e.g. power, power factor, frequency etc.).
For actual selection refer to the channel number 4500-4560.
Via software selection the outputs can be selected to be 020 mA or 420 mA.

Slot #7, engine interface card


Standard card with PT100 inputs

The engine interface board is installed in slot #7. It consists of configurable inputs and relay outputs. The configuration is done
through the utility software and the default settings can be changed to the relevant settings. To configure the inputs, upload the
parameter list from the multi-line 2 and select the input to be configured. Then a configuration dialog box appears and the settings can
be changed. The standard title (e.g. 4...20 mA in no. 3) can be changed and the new title will also be shown in the display.
The minimum and maximum values of the 4...20 mA input can be adjusted:
Value:
Min.:
Max.:

Alarm value (e.g. 85C)


Value corresponding to 4 mA (e.g. 0C)
Value corresponding to 20 mA (e.g. 100C)

The inputs can be used for a high or low alarm. As a high alarm the alarm appears when the measured value is higher than the
alarm limit, and as a low alarm the alarm appears when the measured values are lower than the alarm limit.
The relay outputs on slot #7 are used for engine control.

This chapter describes the power management system of the multi-line 2 AGC. The power management can be selected as an
optional function and this will give a larger flexibility of the AGC. Two versions of the power management are selectable, option G4
and option G5. Refer to the datasheet Specification of options (document no. 4921240240) for information about availability.

Introduction of the PMS option G4

It is possible to use 2 gen-sets with the PMS option G4. If more generators are installed the PMS option G5 is required for power
management purposes. The power management option G4 is used for both AMF and peak shaving. To activate the master/slave
function change both AGCs to AUTO operation.

Mains OK

When a mains failure occurs, all gen-sets are started. If the AGC 1 in AUTO operation fails during the mains failure sequence, the
AGC 2 closes on the black busbar. This is controlled from the AGC 1. Resetting a start failure alarm on the AGC 1 will cause the genset 1 to start without subsequent automatic synchronisation.

1.10.5

Load sharing/var sharing

The canbus communication is used for load/var sharing. If the canbus lines break a communication failure is displayed, and the
generators will share the load/vars depending on the droop setting on the speed governors/AVRs.

1.10.6

Test sequence

The test sequence is activated on the master display. The master gen-set will always start no matter which mode is active on the
master GEN 1. The slave unit is only started if AUTO mode is selected.
NOTE:
At a mains failure situation when testing gen-set 2, the gen-set 1 will start without subsequent automatic synchronisation to the
busbar.

1.11

Configurable inputs/outputs

It is possible to configure all binary inputs (inputs 8-30), analogue inputs (inputs 1-8) and binary outputs (relays 1-10).
Binary inputs:
- The texts can be edited to a user defined name.
- Default all inputs are alarm inputs.
- All inputs can be configured as described below:

Description
All alarms and fail classes are overruled. The only alarms the gen-set will react on are Emergency stop on
terminal 117 or a Tacho failure. Also the gen-set has 7 start attempts before Start failure
The gen-set can be started externally if semi-auto mode is selected
The gen-set can be stopped externally if semi-auto mode is selected

It is possible to communicate with the multi-line 2 through the world wide web or local intranet.
To be able to use this feature, one multi-line 2 must be installed with the TCP/IP hardware, and all multi-line 2 must be installed with
modbus communication. The communication with the world wide web is done through the TCP/IP unit. This unit communicates
through modbus with the other units in the system.
The web pages show the installation with the gen-sets, the breakers and the multi-line 2 units. Clicking on the icons on the screen
gives access to the following:
Status:
Messages:
Settings:
Measurements:

1.13

Screen showing the alarms and the status of all control inputs.
Creates and sends e-mail messages if alarms occur.
Screen showing setup menus.
The relevant values can be chosen between all measured gen-set values.

Display unit

The display unit used in multi-line 2 communicates and receives power supply via a 9-pole Sub-D plug. The plug fits directly onto the
main unit, so the display can be mounted on the top of the main unit.
If the display is to be used as remote display, a standard computer extension cable with male/female plug can be used for the
connection (option J).

Display dimensions H x W x D = 115 x 220 x 20 mm.

Fail classes

All the activated alarms of the multi-line 2 AGC must be configured with a fail class. The fail classes define the category of the alarms
and the subsequent action of the alarm.
5 different fail classes can be used:

The fail classes in the menu set-points are represented with one of the numbers 16 from the table above even though the fail class
texts are shown in the display. E.g. WARNING.

Menu set-points

The following lists are in numerical order, i.e. the set-points and timers appear according to the given number. The maximum relay
setting is depending on the options selected. The maximum relay settings are described in the table below:
Options
Standard
M12
M14
Not D1 or D2 or E1

Max. setting
R0 (none)
R8 (relay 8)
R4 (relay 4)
R10 (relay 10)

As the relays have been given a unique number, the number of relays available is not always the same as the max. number shown on
the display. An example could be if M14 is not selected together with M12, the relays R1 to R4 are still selectable on the display. If it is
attempted to download a relay number which is not available, an error will occur on the display, and the relay number will be set to the
standard R0.

VDO inputs (option M2 only)

As there are different types of VDO resistor sensors, the settings of a curve must be made. This curve is made by defining 8 break
points for each sensor, enabling different characteristics to be used.
The 3 inputs are pre-defined, for pressure (1), temperature (2) and fuel tank level (3). The name texts can be changed in the PC utility
software.

2. An output relay can be selected if available. In that case the settings Output A and Output B must be selected to the desired

1.17.10 PI controller, KP and KI adjustments


The AGC includes controllers for the different running modes. The controllers control either a relay output or an analogue output
(option).
Each controller consists of a proportional factor, KP, and an integral factor, KI.
The proportional factor, KP, decides the size of the proportional part at a regulation deviation, and the integral factor, KI, decides the
integral part. The individual function of KP and KI is described in the drawings on the next page. The drawings show the change of the
output when the input value deviates from the set-point, e.g. because of a frequency change.

1.17.11 PI controllers, relay outputs


The relay outputs are made as a PWM (Pulse Width Modulated) output. That means that the time between relay ON points remains
constant, whereas the relay ON time varies between constant (far away from set-point) and lowest value (close to set-point).
If relay outputs are used, it is necessary to adjust a relay minimum ON time and a regulation period time. This adjustment can be
done on both the GOV and the AVR outputs. Diagrams 6 and 7 show the principle of the relay control.
When using relay control outputs it is also necessary to tune in the PI controller set-points, KP and KI. Higher value (for both) = faster
(and more unstable) control.
This setting is used to tune in the GOV ON time when relay outputs are being used for control. The total relay ON time will depend on
the deviation from the set-point. tN is the minimum time the relay can be activated.

1.17.12.1 Mains import power, peak shaving


The mains power set-point is the maximum imported power from the mains. If the load is higher than this set-point, the mains will
supply the load equal to the mains power set-point and the gen-set will supply all additional load.
It is possible to have two set-points, a daytime and a nighttime set-point. The purpose of this is to adapt the mains import to the
different load conditions in different periods.
The AGC needs a 4...20 mA signal on terminal 98-99 from a power transducer, measuring the imported power from the mains. The
calibration of the power transducer must be:

The gen-set is running in island mode. The multi-line 2 AGC is controlling the gen-set and the generator breaker in the system. The
multi-line 2 AGC does not control the mains breaker if any is installed. The control functionality of the multi-line 2 AGC is start up of
the engine, closing/synchronising and loading of the gen-set. It is only possible to operate the gen-set in SEMI-AUTO mode.

1.17.14.10.2 AMF automatic mains failure gen-set


The multi-line 2 AGC is controlling the gen-set and both the generator and the mains breaker. The control functionality of the multi-line
2 AGC is automatic start up of the engine at a mains failure and subsequent opening of the mains breaker and closing of the
generator breaker. The multi-line 2 AGC automatically back synchronises the generator to mains when the mains is restored after a
predefined time if back synchronising is enabled. If back synchronising is disabled, the AGC opens the GB and closes the MB when
the mains is OK.

1.17.14.10.3 Peak shaving operation


The multi-line 2 AGC is controlling the gen-set and both the generator and the mains breaker. The control functionality of the multi-line
2 AGC is automatic start up of the gen-set and subsequent synchronising when the imported load from mains is exceeding the start
gen-set set-point. The multi-line 2 AGC deloads and stops the gen-set at the stop gen-set set-point.
In SEMI-AUTO mode the gen-set follows the peak shaving load curve but it does not start/stop when the start/stop limit is reached.
The two breakers (MB and GB) will not react automatically but only by using the two breaker pushbuttons.
Using the peak shaving mode it is possible to select between two different peak shaving sequences by using menu 4430 MB
control.
Mode shift off
Peak AMF peak
The first sequence (mode shift off) is a mode which only reacts on the peak shaving sequence. If a mains failure occurs, the MB will
open and the gen-set will cool down and stop.
The second sequence (peak AMF peak) is a mode which reacts on the peak shaving sequence but also reacts as AMF mode if a
mains failure occurs. The normal operation is peak shaving. At a mains failure it changes to AMF operation and finally it returns to
peak shaving operation when the mains supply is restored.

1.17.14.10.4 Mains power export, MPE


The multi-line 2 AGC is controlling the gen-set and both the generator and the mains breaker. The control functionality is start up of
the gen-set and subsequent synchronising and closing of the generator breaker.
In the mains power export mode the AGC requires a binary start command to start up the gen-set.
The mains power export can be used in two situations:
Single gen-set:
Requires a binary start command to start. The mains power export set-point will be the reference point (3091/3092) multiplied with the
start up percentage (3101).

1.17.14.10.5 Fixed power operation


Both the mains and the generator breaker can be controlled through the multi-line 2 AGC. The control functionality is semi-auto start
up of the gen-set and subsequent synchronising and ramp up to the fixed power set-point in channel 3081. The var is controlled
according to the PF set-point (3082).

1.17.14.10.6 Load take over mode


Both the mains and the generator breaker can be controlled through the multi-line 2 AGC. When the load take over mode is selected,
it must be activated through a binary input. The gen-set will start, synchronise and take the necessary load until the mains import is 0
kW. Then the mains breaker will be opened, and the generator will supply the load. When the load take over sequence is stopped
(binary input), the load will be transferred to the mains supply.
NOTE:
A 420 mA transducer is needed as an indication of the actual mains load.
The load take over mode can be combined with the short time paralleling function (menu 4940).

1.17.15 multi-line 2 AGC sequences


This chapter contains information about the sequences of the engine, the generator breaker and, if installed, the mains breaker.
These sequences are executed if the AUTO mode is selected and if the commands are selected in SEMI-AUTO mode. In SEMIAUTO the sequence selected is the only sequence which is executed. (E.g. press the START pushbutton: The engine is started with
no subsequent synchronising).

The automatic start sequence - here programmed to max. 3 start attempts, but the engine starts
during the second attempt.

Interruption of start sequence:


Running feedback (deactivates the start relay)
- Channel 4351, tacho configuration set-point
- Running feedback input
- Internal measuring of the frequency above 30Hz
NOTE: The frequency measurement requires a voltage measurement of at least 30%. So the running feedback based
on the frequency measurement can only be used where the voltage builds up rapidly.
Stop signal
Start failure
If the gen-set does not start after the last start attempt, a start failure alarm is activated. The start sequence can be stopped manually
by pressing the STOP pushbutton if SEMI-AUTO mode is selected.

1.17.15.2 GB ON sequence
The GB ON sequence will synchronise and/or close the generator breaker. The breaker is closed directly without synchronising if the
mains breaker is open or if no mains breaker is present (island mode), if the voltage on the busbar/mains is not present.
The GB ON sequence is automatically initiated (except in SEMI-AUTO mode) when the automatic start sequence has been
completed and the engine is running.
In SEMI-AUTO mode the operator may initiate the GB ON sequence by pressing the "GB" pushbutton on the display.
Ready for GB ON:
Conditions which must be fulfilled before a GB ON signal is activated:

Stop sequence:
Programmable cooling down time
"STOP" output with programmable extended stop time
The stop sequence is carried out when the multi-line 2 AGC has completed the GB OFF sequence and the generator breaker is open.
In AUTO mode the stop sequence is initiated automatically. In SEMI-AUTO mode a stop command with the "STOP" pushbutton will
stop the engine without cooling down. If the generator is running with the generator breaker closed and the STOP pushbutton is
pressed, the generator is opened without deloading, and the engine is stopped without cooling down.
A start command will interrupt an ongoing cool down period and leave the engine in idle speed. A GB ON signal will synchronise and
close the breaker.
A stop failure is displayed if the running feedback signal or the generator voltage and frequency are still present.
If the coil type is configured as running coil, the stop relay will be energized during starting and running and de-energized during
stopping.

The relays can be configured in the two different ways described below.
Alarm relay function:

When an alarm activates the relay, it is activated as long as the alarm is present and unacknowledged.

Limit function:

When an alarm activates the relay, no alarm message is displayed. After the condition activating this
relay has returned to normal, the relay will deactivate when the Off delay has expired.

General information
General introduction to multi-line 2 Modbus

Each message must be transmitted in a continuous stream. Only the RTU mode can be used on multi-line 2 communication.
Broadcast function is not implemented in multi-line 2 and is therefore not allowed.

2.1.2

Transactions on multi-line 2 Modbus Protocol

Standard Modbus ports on multi-line 2 use an RS-485 compatible serial interface that defines connector pinouts, cabling, signal
levels, transmission baud rates.
Controllers communicate using a master-slave technique in which only one device (the master) can initiate transactions (called
"queries"). The other devices (the slaves) respond by supplying the requested data to the master or by taking the action requested in
the query.
The Modbus Protocol establishes the format for the master's query by placing into it the device address, a function code defining the
requested action, any data to be sent and an error checking field. The slave's response message is also constructed using Modbus
Protocol. It contains fields confirming the action taken, any data to be returned and an error checking field. If an error occurred on
receipt of the message, an exception response is generated in the slave.

The query
The function code in the query tells the addressed slave device what kind of action to perform. The data bytes contain any additional
information that the slave will need to perform the function. For example, function code 03 will query the slave to read registers and
respond with their contents. The data field must contain the information telling the slave which register to start at and how many
registers to read. The error check field provides a method for the slave to validate the integrity of the message contents.
The response
If the slave makes a normal response, the function code in the response is an echo of the function code in the query. The data bytes
contain the data collected by the slave, such as register values or status. If an error occurs, the function code is modified to indicate
that the response is an error response and the data bytes contain a code that describes the error. The error check field allows the
master to confirm that the message contents are valid.

2.1.4

RTU framing

In RTU mode messages start with a silent interval of at least 3.5 character times. This is most easily implemented as a multiple of
character times at the baud rate that is being used on the network (shown as T1-T2-T3-T4 in the table below).
The first field then transmitted is the device address.
The allowable characters transmitted for all fields are hexadecimal 0-9, A-F.
Networked devices monitor the network bus continuously, including during the "silent" intervals. When the first field (the address field)
is received, each device decodes it to find out if it is the addressed device.
Following the last transmitted character, a similar interval of at least 3.5 character times marks the end of the message. A new
message can begin after this interval.
The entire message frame must be transmitted as a continuous stream. If a silent interval of more than 1.5 character times occurs

Automatic Gen-set Controller, multi-line 2

4189340258H

before completion of the frame, the receiving device flushes the incomplete message and assumes that the next byte will be the
address field of a new message.
Similarly, if a new message begins earlier than 3.5 character times following a previous message, the receiving device will consider it
a continuation of the previous message. This will set an error, as the value in the final CRC field will not be valid for the combined
messages. A typical message frame is shown below.

How the address field is handled

The address field of a message frame contains eight bits. Valid slave device addresses are in the range of 1-247 decimal.
A master addresses a slave by placing the slave address in the address field of the message. When the slave sends its response, it
places its own address in the address field of the response to let the master know which slave is responding.
Address 0 is used for the broadcast address.
Broadcasts are not allowed.

2.1.6

Contents of the error checking field

The RTU mode error checking field contains a 16 bit value implemented as two eight bit bytes. The error check value is the result of
Cyclical Redundancy Check calculation performed on the message contents. The CRC field is appended to the message as the last
field in the message. When this is done, the low-order byte of the field is appended first, followed by the high-order byte. The CRC
high-order byte is the last byte to be sent in the message.
Additional information about error checking follows later in this chapter.

2.1.7

How characters are transmitted serially

When messages are transmitted on standard Modbus serial networks, each character or byte is sent in this order (left to right):
Least Significant Bit (LSB) ... Most Significant Bit (MSB).
With RTU character framing, the bit sequence is:
Without parity checking.
Start

Stop

NOTE: No even or odd parity checking is supported.

2.1.8

Error checking methods

In RTU mode messages include an error checking field that is based on a Cyclical Redundancy Check (CRC) method. The CRC field
checks the contents of the entire message. The CRC field is two bytes, containing a 16 bit binary value. The CRC value is calculated
by the transmitting device which appends the CRC to the message.
The receiving device recalculates a CRC during receipt of the message and compares the calculated value to the actual value it
received in the CRC field. If the two values are not equal, an error results.
Only the eight bits of data in each character are used for generating the CRC. Start and stop bits do not apply to the CRC.
When the CRC is appended to the message, the low-order byte is appended first, followed by the high-order byte. The master is
configured by the user to wait for a predetermined time-out interval before aborting the transaction. This interval is set to be long
enough for any slave to respond normally. If the slave detects a transmission error, the message will not be acted upon. The slave will
not construct a response to the master. Thus the time-out will expire and allow the master's program to handle the error.
Note that a message addressed to a non-existent slave device will also cause a time-out.

The requested ON/OFF status is specified by contents of the query data field. A logical 1 in a bit position of the field requests the
corresponding flag to be ON - A logical = requests it to be OFF. The following page shows an example of a request to force a series
of ten flags stating a flag in slave device 1. The query data contents are two bytes: 01 04 hex (1001 0000 binary). The binary bits
correspond to the flags in the following way:
Bit: 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0
Flag: 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
The first byte transmitted (0 hex) addresses flags 7...0, with the least significant bit addressing the lowest flag (0) in this set.
The next byte transmitted (01 hex) addresses flags 14 and 8, with the least significant bit addressing the lowest flag (8) in the set.
Unused bits in the last data byte should be zero-filled.

Exception
Exception reception

When a master device sends a query to a slave device, it expects a normal response. One of four possible events can occur from the
master's query:
If the slave device receives the query without a communication error and can handle the query normally, it returns a normal response.
If the slave does not receive the query due to a communication error, no response is returned. The master program will eventually
process a time-out condition for the query.

If the slave receives the query, but detects a communication error (CRC), no response is returned. The master program will eventually
process a time-out condition for the query.
If the slave receives the query without a communication error, but cannot handle it (for example if the request is to read a non-existent
register), the slave will return an exception response informing the master of the nature of the error.
The exception response message has two fields that differentiate it from a normal response:
Function code field: In a normal response the slave echoes the function code of the original query in the function code field of the
response. All function codes have a most-significant bit (MSB) of 0. This makes the function code value in an exception response
exactly 80 hexadecimal higher than the value would be for a normal response.
With the function code's MSB set, the master's application program can recognize the exception response and can examine the data
field for the exception code.
Data field: In a normal response the slave may return data or statistics in the data field (any information that was requested in the
query). In an exception response the slave returns an exception code in the data field. This defines the slave condition that caused
the exception.

Refer to the user's manual of your multi-line AGC for information on:
Availability of channels
Min./max. settings
Factory settings
Note that several channels also depend on the options.
However, it is possible to write to channels where the option is not set, it is not possible to enable the channel. E.g. if an attempt is
made to write a "1" to the enable flag, the "1" will be discarded, and the enable flag remains "0".
It is not possible to write to offset 0. These values are used for DEIF internal version control.
"y" means that the channel is writeable.
"N" means that a "0" can be written to the channel only.
"N10" means that only the value 10 can be written.
"GBGF means same output as GB General Failure. 2060.
"MBGF means same output as MB General Failure. 2070.

General information

3.1.1

General introduction to multi-line 2 PROFIBUS DP

PROFIBUS is a vendor-independent, open field bus standard for a wide range of applications in manufacturing and process
automation. Vendor-independence and openness are insured by the international standards EN 50170 and EN 50254.
multi-line 2 use the communication profile "DP" Decentralized Periphery

3.1.2

Transmission speed and range

Transmission speeds between 9.6 kbit/sec and 1500 kbit/sec are available.
Baud rate (kbit/s)

Range/segment

1200m

1200m

1200m

1000m

400m

200m

Up to 32 stations (master or slaves) can be connected in one segment.


The baud rate is automatically identified by multi-line 2

3.1.3

Configuration and the GSD file

The GSD file "deif0632.gsd" and "deif0632.dib" are on the included CD. They are to be copied in the subpaths GSD and BITMAPS of
COM PROFIBUS. Then the PROFIBUS network is ready to be configured.
The station address is set in menu 4050 on multi-line.

3.1.4

Data in/out

61 words input and 13 words output are used.


Data in is the input data from multi-line 2 to master.
Data out is the output data from PROFIBUS master to multi-line 2.

The content of the control registers is not lost in case of supply failure, so frequent updates are not necessary.
Example how to control the frequency via the Modbus:
Activate frequency control register in menu 4042
Write in the control register address 3 the desired frequency offset
NOTE:
Be aware that all addresses must include a legal value even though the control function is not used. E.g. in address 4 it is still
necessary to write a value between 60 and 100 also when not running in power factor mode.

Caterpillar CCM setup

It is possible to change the parameters used in the communication between the multi-line 2 and the CCM. The parameters can be
changed via the utility software or by menus 4770-4930 in the system menu.
The parameters which can be changed are:
Baud:
MID/unit:
ACT:
Rate:

Set the baud rate to 9600 or 19200, default setting 9600 1


The ID of the gen-set that the list corresponds to
Default the ID is set to 36 (24 hex) for single gen-set, the value must be entered in decimal numbers
Turn the list ON/OFF. Default all lists are turned OFF 2
This time setting indicates how often the CCM must return an update of the data
Default the update time is set to 2 sec 3

NOTE:
1
Note that some CCMs can only use 9600 baud.
2
Note that only the new CCM can use more than 8 lists. When using an old CCM, be sure that lists 9-16 are turned off.
3
Note that the CCM can provide a maximum of 50 parameters per second.

Cat CCM communication


Protocol specification

In the H4 a part of the M5X protocol is implemented to make it possible to communicate with Caterpillars Customer Communication
Module (CCM). The H4 option offers to collect up to 64 parameters in the first 8 lists; the parameters collected from the CCM are
placed in Modbus.
The H4 will create the lists in the CCM and collect the data when it is broadcasted from the CCM, this is done via the implementation
of some of the M5X protocol functions, Instruction Identifier: IID $10, IID $11, IID $12 and IID $13 are implemented.
If no changes are made the lists will consist of the default PIDs which are shown in the table below. When the lists are turned on, the
CCM will start to return the data for the PIDs to the multi-line 2 and here the values are stored in Modbus. The values which the CCM
transmits for every PID will be placed in the Modbus register corresponding to the PID.
Example:
Use of the default PID list:
The system battery voltage PID F013 is defined as PID #7 (list 1), the value that the CCM returns might be 48, this value will
be placed in Modbus register 18506. This PID has a resolution of 0.5 V per bit, the master system which reads the value can
calculate the voltage to 0.5 * Modbus register (18506) = 24 V in this example.

Default lists #9 - #16

While the old CCM can only handle 8 lists, the new CCM 01-10-2002 has the ability to use up to 16 lists of 8 PIDs.
The new CCM which is used on NES (New Engine System), has the possibility to use PIDs consisting of 3 bytes; these PIDs MSB
(Most Significant Byte) has a hex value between D0 and D4. This type of PIDs can only be used in lists 9-16, the two MSB must be
placed in the first Modbus register, and the LSB must be placed in the space for extra PID byte. If 3 bytes PIDs are not used, space
for extra PID byte must be 0.

Customized lists

It is possible to change the PIDs if desired, the PIDs in all the lists are determined by the value in the Modbus register corresponding
to the PID. This means that the 8 PIDs in list 1 are determined by the values in Modbus register 17500-17507.
Example 1:
If the only parameter of interest is the engine RPM:
The PID for RPM (40 hex) must be written to Modbus register 17500, and 0 must be written to the rest of the PIDs in list #1. Note that
the CCM ignores any PIDs in a list which comes after a PID = 0.
The update rate of list 1 can be set to the minimum value of 0.5 sec, then a new RPM value can be read at Modbus register 18500
every second.

Example 2:
Change a PID in list #2:
To place the engine RPM (PID 40 hex) as the second PID in list 2, PID #10, 40 hex must be written to Modbus register 17509. Then
the RPM returned from the CCM can be read from the Modbus register 18509.

NOTE:
When a list is being changed, it must be turned off and then turned on again after the setup. Refer to chapter 4.4.1.
WARNING:
If just one of the PIDs in a list is not a correct request for this engine/EMC type, the CCM will stop the whole list from being
transmitted. For example, if one of the PIDs in list #1 is the request for Cylinder #20 exhaust port temperature, and this is asked from
a 16 cylinder engine, then no values will be returned for list #1.
