Electrostatic Discharge Awareness
2. Avoid the build-up of static electricity on your body by not wearing clothing
made of synthetic materials. Wear cotton or cotton-blend materials as much
as possible because these do not store static electric charges as much as
synthetics.
4. Do not remove the printed circuit board (PCB) from the control cabinet
unless absolutely necessary. If you must remove the PCB from the control
cabinet, follow these precautions:
• When replacing a PCB, keep the new PCB in the plastic antistatic
protective bag it comes in until you are ready to install it. Immediately
after removing the old PCB from the control cabinet, place it in the
antistatic protective bag.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to electronic components caused by improper handling,
read and observe the precautions in Woodward manual 82715, Guide for
Handling and Protection of Electronic Controls, Printed Circuit Boards, and
Modules.

• Water Temperature Monitoring
• Battery Voltage Monitoring
• Speed Monitoring with Overspeed Protection
Synchronizing
• Digital signal processing to eliminate problems induced in systems with high
harmonic content causing multiple zero crossing of voltage wave forms.
• Adjustable maximum phase window, voltage window, and dwell times—
windows as small as 2º phase error and 1% voltage matching respectively.
• Safe dead bus closing logic internal to the control.
• Multiple shot re-closing with adjustable time delays, auto-resynchronizing,
and synchronizer time-outs all available.
• Manual voltage and speed adjusts for manual synchronizing (Sync-Check
still active during manual parallels).
• Synchronization across generator and mains breakers.

Manual 26048 EGCP-1 Engine Generator Control Package
Operator Interface
The EGCP-1 Operator Interface is designed for simplicity and redundancy of
function in all operating modes. The backlit LCD screens with contrast
adjustment are used to display various operating and status information to the
operator, as well as for reading tuning setpoints. The back light on the LCD
screens automatically shuts off after a five minute period of non -use to reduce
power consumption. Pressing any key on the front key pad will turn the light back
on.
The screens provide six lines of Status Information, and two lines of Setpoint
tuning information. These screens allow the user to monitor and tune related
parameters at the same time.
An imbedded red Light Emitting Diode (LED) on the face of the control is used to
indicate an alarm condition by flashing repeatedly, and to indicate a shutdown
condition by staying on continuously.
There are seven rectangular keys on the operator interface and two “teardrop”
keys. The keys have the following functions:

Disabled
When an alarm setpoint is set for Disabled, the alarm condition will have no
external indicators to signal the event has occurred. No control actions occur as
a result of a disabled condition.
Warning
When an alarm setpoint is set for Warning, the alarm condition will cause the red
LED on the face of the EGCP-1 to flash continuously until the alarm condition is
acknowledged. No control actions occur as a result of a warning condition.
Visual Alarm
When an alarm setpoint is set for Visual Alarm, the alarm condition will cause the
visual alarm output relay to energize, and the red LED on the face of the EGCP-1
to Flash. Both indicators will remain active until the alarm condition is
acknowledged. No control actions occur as a result of a visual alarm condition.
Audible Alarm
When an alarm setpoint is set for Audible Alarm, the alarm condition will cause
the audible and visual alarm output relays to energize and the red LED on the
face of the EGCP-1 to flash. All alarm indicators will remain active until the alarm
condition is acknowledged. No control actions occur as a result of an audible
alarm condition.
Soft Shutdown
When an alarm setpoint is set for Soft Shutdown, the alarm condition will cause
the generator to ramp off load, unless it is the only unit carrying the load in which
case it will immediately open its gen breaker. If the unit has carried load above its
cooldown limit, the unit will also cool down and then shut off. The audible, and
visual alarm relays will energize at the time of the alarm condition, and the red
LED on the face of the EGCP-1 will stay on continuously. Acknowledging the
alarm condition will cause the alarms to reset, and make the unit operational
once again.
Hard Shutdown
When an alarm setpoint is set for Hard Shutdown, the alarm condition will cause
the generator to immediately open its breaker, and immediately shut off. The
audible, and visual alarm relays will energize at the time of the alarm condition,
and the red LED on the face of the EGCP-1 will stay on continuously. A unit
which has experienced a hard shutdown condition will remove itself from any
automatic sequencing displays. Acknowledging the alarm condition will cause the
alarms to reset, and make the unit operational once again.
In addition to these standard shutdowns and alarms, there are five additional
mains sensing parameters that can be programmed for Disabled, Warning, Loss
of Mains, or Loss of Mains with Alarms. Disabled and Warning setpoints actions
are identical to those described for other alarms, above.
20 Woodward
Manual 26048 EGCP-1 Engine Generator Control Package
Loss of Mains action will:
• Indicate a failed mains on the LCD Display (all modes)
• Issue a command to open the mains breaker or contactor (Auto mode only)
• Issue a command to start the engine(s) and put the generator(s) on load
(Auto mode only)
Loss of Mains with Alarms action will do all of the actions assigned to the Loss of
Mains condition, as well as activate the audible alarm function (audible and
visual alarm outputs energize).
Load Surge
Senses a step kW load change (% of Rated Load Setpoint per Second) on
generator. LOM indication is immediate (no delay) for this condition.

Operational Description:
Single No Parallel
The most basic mode of operation for the EGCP-1 is Single Unit No Parallel. In
this configuration the generator will never parallel with the mains. All operations
requiring the generator to be on load will take place with the mains breaker open.
The operations which place the generator on load are either a Loss of Mains
detection, or an Auto and Run With Load Switch Input. Since the generator will
never operate in parallel with the mains, all transitions between mains and
generator power to the load are done in an open transition fashion.

Number of Units:
Single
Operating Mode:
No Parallel
If this is to be a standby power unit, which will close to the load on loss of mains,
program the following setpoints as required by the system for reliable Loss of
Mains Detection. Not all these setpoints have to be set for loss of mains
detection, only those that pertain to detecting loss of mains for each particular
application or system.
If this is to be a prime power unit, which operates without any mains input to the
load, program either Mains Frequency Low Limit Alarm, or Mains Voltage Low
Limit Alarm for Loss Of Mains. This allows the unit to start any time it is given an
auto input.

Operational Description:
Single Unit Parallel
Single Unit Parallel operation of the EGCP-1 control enables the control’s ability
to synchronize and close to the mains. When paralleling to the mains, the EGCP-
1 will operate in either a base load (constant generator KW), or process control
modes, depending on which switch inputs are received at the control. The
EGCP-1 will also operate in a Power Factor or VAR control mode while in
parallel with the Mains if the VAR/PF control setpoint in the Reactive Load
Control tuning menu is set for either PF control or KVAR control.
The EGCP-1 may also be configured for soft transfer operation. Soft Transfer
operation is enabled in the configuration menu item labeled “Load Control Mode”.
Setting this item to “soft transfer” will enable the soft transfer capability of the
control. Soft transfer refers to an operating mode in which the generator
assumes load (either base load or process), and upon reaching a specific base
load or process reference point, issues a command to open the mains breaker.
The effectively transfers load from the mains to the generator in a smooth
fashion.
Configuration Menu:
Number of Units: Single
Load Control Mode: Normal or Soft Transfer (depending on application)
Operating Mode: Mains Parallel
Check Mains Breaker: Enabled
If this is to be a standby power unit, which will close to the load on loss of mains,
program the following setpoints as required by the system for reliable Loss of
Mains Detection. Not all these setpoints have to be set for loss of mains
detection, only those that pertain to detecting loss of mains for each particular
application or system.

24 Woodward
Manual 26048 EGCP-1 Engine Generator Control Package
NOTE
Loss of Mains may be substituted with Loss of Mains w/alarms if alarm
indications during a loss of mains condition are desired.
*Loss of Mains action is instant, and does not use the loss of mains action delay.
All other Loss of Mains detection setpoints use the Loss of Mains action delay
time before activating the generator set start sequence.
Loss of mains action for a single parallel unit is identical to the single no parallel
application. Upon sensing a loss of mains for the loss of mains action delay
period, the EGCP-1 will open the mains breaker, start the generator set, wait for
the gen stable time, and close the generator onto the dead bus, providing the
load with power.
Being a single unit parallel application, upon sensing return of the mains, and
mains stable for the mains stable delay, the EGCP-1 will synchronize the
generator set with the mains. After synchronizing to the mains, the EGCP-1 will
parallel the generator with the mains, and softly unload the generator. Upon
reaching the generator Unload Trip Point, the EGCP-1 will issue a generator
breaker open command. This sequence softly transfers load from the generator
back to the Mains. After the generator is unloaded, and its breaker is opened, it
will shut down. There may be a cooldown period prior to shut down if the
generator set has run at loads which exceed the Cooldown Limit KVA value.

If these are to be standby power units, which will close to the load on loss of
mains, program the following setpoints as required by the system for reliable
Loss of Mains Detection. Not all these setpoints have to be set for loss of mains
detection, only those that pertain to detecting loss of mains for each particular
application or system.
If these are to be a prime power units, which operate without any mains input to
the load, program all units in the system for either Mains Frequency Low Limit
Alarm, or Mains Voltage Low Limit Alarm for Loss Of Mains. This allows each
unit to start any time it is given an auto input.

Chapter 7.
Operational Description:
Multiple Parallel
The Multiple Parallel operating mode of the EGCP-1 is the most complex. In this
mode, multiple generator sets have the capability to operate as: Standby Units
upon loss of mains detection; Peak Shaving Units; Load Demand Reduction
Units, and Soft Transfer Units. Since the operating mode implies mains parallel,
the generators are allowed to synchronize with the mains under various
operating conditions such as: Loss of Mains re-transfer to the mains, Base Load
Control, Process Control, Soft Transfer return to Mains (softly unloads
generators and restores mains power feed to the load), Soft Transfer from the
Mains to the generators (softly loads the generators against the mains before
opening the mains breaker).
Configuration Menu:
Number of Units:
Multiple
Operating Mode:

IMPORTANT!
There must be at least one unit on the network and in Auto with the mains
breaker aux hard wired input, and configured for “Check Mains Breaker”
setpoint “enabled” at any given time.

EGCP-1 Communications
Overview
The EGCP-1 panel RS-422 port protocol may be selected for Modbus RTU
protocol, which uses an open protocol used by many third party software
manufacturers, or UPLOAD SETPOINTS, which allows a setpoint transfer to and
from the EGCP-1.
To select which protocol will be used, enter the configuration menu of the EGCP-
1 panel using the proper software password, and scroll to the menu item labeled:
422 Protocol. The selections under this menu item are:
1) Modbus
2) Upload Setpoints
2) Servlink
NOTE
Whenever the 422 Protocol setpoint is changed, the EGCP-1 panel must be
powered down, then powered up again, to reset to the proper protocol.
If Servlink is chosen for the protocol selection, the EGCP-1 panel will
communicate in the Servlink protocol. Woodward Governor Company’s Servlink
communications protocol is a proprietary DDE interface to the EGCP-1 Control.
This interface allows access to readout and setpoint variables in the unit.
Servlink software must be purchased from Woodward, or its distributors, and
resident on the host computer in order to access the EGCP-1 data over the RS-
422 communication port. For more information about Woodward products which
use Servlink, contact your local Woodward Distributor.
NOTE
If Upload Setpoints is chosen, the EGCP-1 panel will switch to a
communications mode where it is waiting to see characters on the 422 serial
port that set it to transfer the contents of the setpoint file to the PC. This
task is run on the PC using the download.com DOS program. The
download.com program is available for download on Woodward’s Internet
web page located at: www.woodward.com. Follow the “EGCP-1 software
download” links to access the file.

Hardware Connections
Once the software is installed on the computer hard drive, the hardware
connection between the computer and the EGCP-1 control must be made for
correct communication between the two devices. This hardware connection is
completed using a direct cable connection between the computer and the EGCP-
1 control(s) RS-422 network.
The laptop or desktop computer which will be used with the EGCP-1 RS-422 port
will have a 9-pin serial port. This port is configured by the computer hardware to
use a serial communications protocol called RS-232. The details of this protocol
are not important to know for hardware connection to the EGCP-1 control(s),
other than there is a need to convert the RS-232 protocol of the computer port to
RS-422 protocol used by the EGCP-1 control network. This conversion is
accomplished by an external conversion module which takes the 9-pin RS-232
serial port input from the computer, and changes it to a 25-pin RS-422 protocol
for the EGCP-1. These converters can be found in most computer or electronics
stores, and are called RS-232 to RS-422 Converters. Below is a diagram of a
typical cable used between the computer and the EGCP-1 with the converter
installed on it.

NOTE
The Network Address of the EGCP-1 panel is not linked to the Modbus ID in
any way.
86 Woodward
Manual 26048 EGCP-1 Engine Generator Control Package
The Modbus Reset is located in the shutdown and alarms configuration menu. It
is used to reset any failures indicated on the Modbus serial communications, and
also to restart the Modbus Time-out timer from zero seconds. The Modbus Reset
should be left at FALSE, and only turned to TRUE to provide a reset action on
the Modbus. Once the reset is accomplished, the Modbus Reset must be taken
back to False once again.
The Modbus communications used by the EGCP-1 panel operate at 9600 baud,
with 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, NO parity, and NO flow control. The protocol used is
Modbus RTU (Master/Slave).
Reply Time-out, Delay, and Number of Retries for the Modbus Master must be
configured to meet the requirements of the entire Modbus network and the
devices communicating on that network. See Table 6-3 for more information on
typical settings.
Table 6-1. Modbus Addresses for the EGCP-1 Modbus RTU Protocol
NOTE
Input #1 (Auto), Input #2 (Test), and Input #3 (Run With Load) must be sent
as a group so that the receiving slave sees all three addresses in the same
message. Logic within the EGCP-1 requires these three inputs be received
from Modbus in order to switch from monitoring the hardware inputs for
these switches to the Modbus inputs for these switches. The switch does
not have to change state from hardware to Modbus. It is the reception of
these three inputs over Modbus which causes the transition from hardware
to Modbus monitoring. Any transition of any of the three hardware inputs
will reset the monitoring of these three switches back to the hardware, until
a new Modbus message is received containing all three BW addresses.

10071 DI PF Leading/Lagging Indicator
NOTE
LOM Alarm Actions (Load Surge, Mains Voltage, Mains Frequency)
The Loss of Mains (LOM) Alarms, when configured for any state except for Disabled,
will indicate a “True” state when the alarm condition is true. The alarm states are
considered to be true as follows:
Load Surge: Any instantaneous change in generator load equal to or greater than the
Load Surge setpoint. No Time Delay.
Mains Voltage High/Low Limit: Any change in the Mains Voltage equal to or greater
than the high limit setpoint, or less than or equal to the low limit setpoint. The alarm
condition will register true only if the high/low limit is exceeded for at least the LOM
action delay time.
Mains Frequency High/Low Limit: Any change in the Mains Frequency equal to or
greater than the high limit setpoint, or less than or equal to the low limit setpoint. The
alarm condition will register true only if the high/low limit is exceeded for at least the
LOM action delay time.
Due to the asynchronous nature of the triggering of the alarm state, and the
Modbus polling time, a software latch on the alarm indication is used. This latch
does not affect the actual indication of the alarm condition on the 6000 control panel.
The latch is active only on the Modbus messaging between the 6000 panel and the
Modbus communications. The latch is set by the occurrence of any of the LOM Alarm
actions, and is only reset if the alarm condition no longer exists, and the pre-existing
alarm condition has been actively read once by the Modbus master. This means that
short duration LOM alarm events, such as Load Surge, will always show true for one
Modbus poll cycle after the occurrence of the alarm. If the alarm condition no longer
exists after this poll cycle, the Modbus alarm indication will reset to false as the
alarm condition is no longer true.
Momentary Switches (Voltage Raise/Lower, Speed Raise/Lower)
The four momentary switch inputs to the EGCP-1 are internally (EGCP-1 software)
timed to open after a one second ON time.
This means that if the EGCP-1 receives an ON command via Modbus for any of
these four switches, the unit will turn the switch ON for one second, and then turn
the input OFF. If the Modbus update for the ON command occurs again within the
one second period, the EGCP-1 will continue holding the switch ON until one second
after the last active Modbus On update is received.

Load Control Modes Defined As Follows: 0 = Off, 1 = Droop, 2 = Isochronous, 3 =
Baseload, 4 = Process.
Droop = Droop Load Control Setpoint Selected and Generator on load.
Isochronous = Normal or Soft Transfer Load Control Setpoint Selected, and Gen on
load, but not in parallel with mains.
Baseload = Normal or Soft Transfer Load Control Setpoint Selected, and Gen on
load, and in parallel with mains.
Process = Same as Baseload, but Process Discrete Input is Active.
Synchronizer Control Modes Defined As Follows: 0 = Off, 1 = ATS, 2 = Parallel, 3 = In
Synch, 4 = ATS Return, 5 = Parallel Mains, 6 = Gen Close Timer, 7 = Mains Close
Timer, 8 = Gen Synch Timer, 9 = Main Synch Timer.
ATS = Auto Transfer State. Trying to Open Mains Breaker.
Parallel = Trying to Close Gen Breaker.
Parallel Mains = Trying to Close Mains Breaker
ATS Return = Trying to Open Gen Breaker.
In Sync = Gen Breaker/Mains Breaker Closed Successfully, and held for synch timer.
Gen Close Timer = Gen Breaker Close Issued. Checking for good closure.
Mains Close Timer = Mains Breaker Close Issued. Checking for good closure.
Gen Synch Timer = Checking for successful synchronization of generator.
Main Synch Timer = Checking for successful synchronization of mains.
Master Unit: Master Unit value is the Network Address of the Master Unit. Units not in
Auto cannot display active Master information, and should not be relied upon for this
information.
Engine State: The Current Engine State is represented by the following integer
values:
1=Off, 2=Preglow, 3=Crank, 4=Run, 5=Cooldown, 6=Spindown, 7=Restart
Phase Angle: The Phase Angle reading is a value from 0 (phase matched at 12:00 on
a synchroscope) to ±180 degrees. Negative degree measurements occur in the right
half of the synchroscope, while positive degree measurements occur in the left half
of the synchroscope. Therefore, a generator with a positive slip frequency (clockwise
synchroscope rotation) would display a sequence of numbers such as 0, –30, –60, –
90,
–120, –150, –180, 150, 120, 90, 60, 30, 0....
Changing Priority:
When decreasing (incrementing value) a unit's priority, every active unit (in
multiple unit configuration and auto mode) on the same network with a higher
priority (lower value) than the unit which is currently having its priority changed,
will increase (decrement value) priority when the priority change is committed.
NOTE
Communications settings will vary based on the Modbus system
configuration. These settings are the recommended typical settings for a
multiple unit EGCP-1 system connected to Modbus master.
1second is the minimum recommended retry delay time. Setting the retry delay
to less than one second may cause the control to fail to boot up properly upon a
power cycle.
