1 Description
1.1 Purpose
The generator protection module GPM500 is a system for protection of low-voltage and
medium-voltage generators and electrical power nets for ships and other applications.
The main task of the protection equipment is to protect the net and its capability to supply other
items of equipment.
In case of a fault in the net the fault location is disconnected from the supply and the equipment
and net items being not concerned remain supplied with power. The protection of equipment is
a secondary task.
Additionally it provides important control and power management functions.

GPM500 Power Supply Module NEG500 / Combined Power Supply Module NEG501 + 510
(Identity No.: 271.197 879) and NEG502 Respectively
The NEG500 is the standard power supply module for GPM500 systems with less extension
modules. For higher power demands in case of a larger number of extension modules the
combined power supply module NEG501+510 resp. NEG502 is required. The NEG501
assembly is a NEG500 variant without (5 V) DC/DC converter. The NEG510 assembly operates
in combination with the NEG501 assembly to make available the 5 V.
The power supply modules perform the following tasks:
– Filtering of the 24 V supply voltage
– Supply of a second (19 V 3-phase) supply voltage
– Monitoring of the 24 V DC and 19 V AC supplies
– Making available of a backed-up 24 V output voltage
– Making available of a regulated 5 V output voltage.
Additionally the NEG module provides the connectors for data bus to BAT500.
1.4 Functions
1.4 Functions
1.4 Functions
The GPM500 offers a variety of protection functions for which the tripping value, the delay time
and the function / effect can be parameterised. The functions alarm, circuit-breaker tripping, de-
excitation, stop of the diesel-generator set (DG set), requirement of a local acknowledgement,
blocking until acknowledgement, start passing-on to the next DG set and a busbar blocking
against switching on can be adjusted via function codes ( see Table 2-15).
For almost all protection functions a pre-alarm can be parameterised in the same way.
The basic configuration of the GPM500 comprises the following basic protection functions:
Protection against short-circuits from line to line. The protection works as an independent over-
current-time protection with extremly short time-delay tripping after exceeding of the high trip-
ping value. For the short-circuit protection two levels can be parameterised.
Protection against overcurrent with delayed trip. Corresponds to the short-circuit protection, in
principle, but with lower operating values and considerably larger delay times. Serves primarily
to protect an equipment.
With generators the shedding of load, i.e. switching off of unimportant consumers becomes
normally active prior to the operation of the overcurrent-time protection.
The dependent overcurrent-time protection trips after a period of time depending on the current
intensity (inverse characteristic/fuse characteristic).
1.4 Functions
To protect electrical machines from a too high asymmetry of the phase currents.
As net protection and less as equipment protection, too. In case of generators being operated
as stand-alone units this is important to disconnect an underexcited generator from the net and
to make it possible to connect a spare DG set.
Serves to protect all generators and consumers, but is essentially used with equipment only
which can cause an overvoltage as e.g. generators and possibly capacitor groups and net
filters.
In case of this fault during the connecting process of a generator the synchronisation is blocked
and starting is inhibited.
Further functions / effects can be parameterised via the function codes (see Table 2-15).
The limit value and the delay time are non-adjustable and cannot be changed by parameterisa-
tion.
1.4 Functions
This protection is almost exclusively used with generators in case of overload or faults of the
DG set.
NOTE
Switching off of the DG set should be the protection becoming
effective last after shedding load by switching off unimportant
consumers in case of underfrequency first.
This protection is to be used almost exclusively with generators in order to protect from overfre-
quency and overspeed (e.g. in case of disturbed speed controllers or dynamically also in case
of the disconnection of large loads).
This protection protects power sources from an excessive active power being fed back. This
way e.g. diesel engines can be protected from an excessive reverse power.
Protects a DG set from falling below a certain minimum load for a longer period of time. Espe-
cially for DG sets to avoid any unfavourable operating conditions (sutting).
To protect from the faulty excitation of a generator or from the lack of excitation, if the generator
does not output a sufficient lagging reactive power.
1.4 Functions
1.4 Functions
In addition to the protection functions the GPM500 performs control functions which are impor-
tant especially in the AUTOMATIC mode.
In case of a failure of the busbar voltage and closing of the blackout contact the GPM500 initi-
ates an automatic blackout start:
The DG set with the highest resulting priority is started in AUTOMATIC mode after the param-
eterised delay time. The resulting priority is calculated by each generator-GPM from the priority
number (0..7) (highest influence), the operating hours and a parameter to be manually set and
the device number (lowest influence).
When minimum voltage and minimum frequency have been reached, switching on is released
and the circuit-breaker is closed.
The DG sets for which the
– AUTOMATIC mode has been selected
– Readiness for start is available (DG set is ready for operation, GPM500 does not have any
non-acknowledged faults etc.
After a start command is given the start up sequence is activated and the prime mover runs up.
If the DG-set does not reach the pre-set speed limits, detected from the engine safety system,
the start sequence will be interrupted by stopping the diesel engine. After a pre-set delay time
another attempts are carried out one after another up to the specified number of start attempts
resp. successful start. After not successful attempts a
– Start failure is indicated
– Start signal is passed on to the next available DG-Set (ready, automatic and priority)
– Stop signal is activated at the faulty Diesel engine to be sure that the diesel stops
1.4 Functions
If, after a start command, there is no switch-on release within the parameterised time due to an
insufficient voltage or frequency, the starting process is aborted and a start fault alarm is output.
Further GPM reactions such as an appropriate start passing-on can be parameterised.
Due to critical diesel failures which cause no instant switch off a passing of the start-command
to the next DG set can be parametrized by means of the function codes. The affected DG set
will be stopped after the started DG set is connected.
In AUTOMATIC mode an automatic start can be initiated in case of a failure from another DG-
Set, by
– activating the Start button,
– order from the IMCS or
– in case of a load request.
An automatic start includes the running up of the DG-Set, the synchronising, connecting the
generator breaker and carrying out load sharing.
In case of no blackout the automatic synchronising process is initiated for the DG set having
been started according to priority befor switching on. Actuating signals are transferred to the
corresponding speed controller until net voltage and generator voltage are synchronous.
First the main criterion, reaching of minimum voltage and minimum frequency of the generator
voltage is checked (switch-on release).
Afterwards, the following criteria are checked
– Differential voltage (RMS values)
– Frequency difference
– Phase angle
– RMS value of the beat voltage
the latter being a redundant but independently computed criterion. It furthermore takes into
account the deviations of the waveform.
If all above-mentioned criteria are fulfilled, the generator circuit-breaker is automatically
switched on.
1.4 Functions
If switching on does not take place within the adjusted time following a start command and the
synchronisation release, then the synchronising process is aborted and the synchronising failure
is initiated. Further GPM reactions can be parameterised (see Table 2-15).
This monitoring unit compares the current actual status of the circuit-breaker with the desired
status preset by the GPM. If they differ from one another over a fixed short period of time, then
the circuit-breaker failure alarm is output.
The following pairs of check-back signals are similarly checked for plausibility (non-equivalence)
by means of this protection function in case of the corresponding parameterisation.
– Circuit-breaker is open / closed
– Circuit-breaker is in the disconnected resp. test position/ operating position
– Trip coil has been controlled / has an open circuit
– Earthing disconnector is open / closed
A circuit-breaker failure is initiated, if for one pair either none or both check-back signals are set
within a specified period of time (e.g. 120sec for disconnected / operating position).
Moreover, the failure is initiated, if the circuit-breaker signals not wound up / ready in the ON
condition.
If switching off does not occur within the adjusted time after a stop command or if, with an open
circuit-breaker, the voltage value exceeds 10%, then a "stop failure" alarm is given. The GPM
reactions are adapted to the application by parameterisation (function codes see Table 2-15).
The frequency is controlled to the nominal frequency under all operating conditions. Like the
other nominal data the value of the nominal frequency is entered as parameter at the BAT500.
1.4 Functions
In its basic configuration the GPM500 offers some important power management functions
which are described in the further course.
But first some fundamental terms, definitions and structures are explained.
Net:
The power management functions always exclusively refer to the limited range of a net or
subnet. A net is a section being limited by opened switching devices. Each net has an unequiv-
ocal net number.
Subnet:
A subnet is a net section being limited by opened switching devices.
Busbar:
This term refers to a section between switching devices. In this sense a transformer with primary
and secondary circuit-breaker is a "busbar", too.
Net Number:
The net number is dynamically determined depending on the positions of the generator circuit-
breakers, coupler circuit-breakers and transfer line circuit-breakers. It is permanently shown on
page 2 of the BAT500 for checking purposes. To each net / subnet an unequivocal net number
is assigned in the power management system (PMS).
The net number is determined according to the following rules:
– The net number is the lowest device number each of the generators which can be
connected to the net. Each device has got a net number.
– The net number of the devices of a busbar is influenced by devices being switched on only.
– The number is transmitted to the neighbouring busbar by (closed) coupler circuit-breakers
and transfer line circuit-breakers only.
– Open tie-breakers and transfer line circuit-breakers have got the net number of the side with
the three-phase voltage acquisition.
– Closed ring nets are, as standard, excluded but can be realised upon request, if need be.
1.4 Functions
The following figure shows the formation of the net numbers in a system with three busbars.
The load sharing takes place between all generators of one net number. Balancing is realised
by the GPM500 communication via the redundant CAN bus (GPM bus).
The power control offers the following functions:
– Symmetrical load sharing for diesel generators
– Asymmetrical load sharing for shaft generators and turbine-driven generators
(with minimum power for diesel generators)
– Unloading of the generator prior to shutdown
In the event of an asymmetrical load sharing the following protective restrictions are ensured by
the GPM500:
– No underload or reverse power of the other DG sets
– No inadmissible frequency increase in stand-alone operation (e.g. in case of maloperations)
Power can be individually preset for each GPM500. The load sharing is controlled by the
GPM500 accordingly.
The presetting can be changed on the BAT500. The presetting can also be made via Modbus
from an external system (e.g. automation system, IAMCS).
For power distribution purposes the GPM500 transfers actuating signals via the GOV500
module to the speed controller of the DG set.
1.4 Functions
By means of the topload function the DG set can, upon request, be loaded with 80% of its
nominal power, provided that this is possible without the inadmissible unloading of other DG
sets.
This operating mode can be activated by means of button "Topload" on the start page of the
BAT.
Operating Modes
The system knows three operating modes which, if necessary, are to be selected simultane-
ously:
- "No DG start": the load monitor does not start additional DG sets
(remark: a blackout start nevertheless takes place, if necessary!)
- "No DG stop": the load monitor does not stop additional DG sets
- "Manoeuvre mode": additional reserve power is made available
(one additional DG set)
1.4 Functions
A DG-Set will be started if the limit value of one of the two parameterisable minimum reserve
power limits has been exceeded for the pre-set time delay. The rated power output of the
starting DG-Set is taken into account.
Taking the calculated start order and the individual possible DG-Set power into account, the
DG-Set with the smallest nominal power output, which covers the minimum power reserve, will
be started.
The DG-Set to be started next is the one with the highest resulting priority, i. e. the smallest
number. Each Generator-GPM calculated its individual resulting priority from the adjustable
priority number (0...7, highest influence), the operating hours and the device number (lowest
influence). Generally the start order is from the smallest (highest priority) to the biggest (lowest
priority) number. The Stopping order sequence is vice versa.
After diesel start the GPM500 starts synchronising and connecting the breaker. After that load
sharing is carried out.
If several of DG-Sets are feeding to the common bus-bar and the total power consumption is
decreasing, the total power reserve is increasing. If the power reserve is too large one of the
supplying DG-Set will be stopped automatically. After stopping the DG-Set the power reserve
must be larger or equal the specified power reserve minimum power reserve after stop, see
Fig 2-35. Under special conditions it may also happen that a number of DG-Sets are stopping
shortly one after the other to reach specified minimum power reserve.
The stop sequence is as follows:
– unloading the generator to a very small amount of current
– disconnecting the generator breaker
– running in idle speed for a pre-set time (cooling down)
– stopping the diesel engine
– the DG-Set is ready for start again.
1.4 Functions
This function protects the feeding DG-Sets against overload. By means of this function it is
guaranteed that in case a big consumer is selected sufficient power is provided, i.e. a minimum
of one DG-Set starts automatically, if the momentary power reserve is too small. The start of
the selected big consumer takes place when a sufficient power reserve is available.
Consumers are switched on according to the following steps:
1. The GPM500 to which the requested switch-on of a big consumer is available, communi-
cates the required power to the GPM bus. Switching on is delayed so as to be able to take
into account the reactions by the other devices.
2. The total power demand for the subnet is computed by all GPM500 systems from the power
demands.
3. In the same way the actual reserve power is computed.
4. The GPM500 systems of the generators check whether a start condition is fulfilled for them
after evaluation of power demand and reserve power. If this is the case, switching on of
consumers is blocked.
5. It is checked whether the respective start condition remains fulfilled when taking into
account the nominal power / maximum power of generators being already started. If yes,
further DG sets are started according to their priority. The switching on of consumers
remains blocked.
6. From the DG sets with fulfilled start conditions the set with the lowest number and highest
priority is started. (A DG set being shut down is preferred!)
7. If the respective reserve power is sufficient, the blockage is reset and the switching on of
consumers is released.
1.4 Functions
The GPM500 is able to synchronise nets with one another. For this purpose the tie-breakers
GPM500 are equipped with synchronising and active-power load controllers according to the
devices of the generators. For this purpose, the actuating signals are, however, not output at
the own device but they are given as setpoint frequency to the two nets involved. All devices
involved generate corresponding actuating signals for the speed controllers of the DG sets. The
speed controllers of the DG sets involved should react similarly and the adjusting speed should
be adjusted accordingly.
Within the range of one subnet there is possible only one net synchronisation or net separation
at the same time.
In case of an intended net separation first of all the net numbers are recalculated such that the
subnets to the right and to the left of the circuit-breaker are provided with different net numbers.
This way the generators can be supplied with different actuating commands. Within the range
of one subnet there is possible only one net synchronisation or net separation at the same time.
A superior control system as e.g. a PMS or an automation system can intervene in the load
monitor in different ways:
1. Alteration of the start priority
2. Selection of operating mode "No DG stop"
3. Selection of operating mode "No DG start"
4. Selection of operating mode "Manoeuvre mode"
5. Selection of "Topload"
6. Requesting an additional power reserve
The operating mode selection from the control system is always combined with the hardware
contacts. If "No DG STOP" has been selected via digital input, this cannot be cancelled via tele-
gram.
Top-hat rail modules with 16 and 32 terminals respectively (in the form of coded 4-pole plug-in
blocks) and a 12-pole plug-in connection to neighbouring modules. The 12-pole plug-in connec-
tion comprises the internal CAN bus, the external CAN bus for the connection of the BAT500
and contacts for the control voltages.

For the purpose of communication with other GPM500 systems there are available two CAN
busses (CAN1 and CAN2) being redundant with respect to one another.
With the last ZKG500 of a bus section the CAN busses are terminated by setting one jumper
each.
NOTE
The CAN busses are looped through from station to station each.
Spur lines are avoided, i.e. the bus connection is made such that
the cores of the incoming bus section and the cores of the
outgoing bus section are connected in parallel at the terminals of
the ZKG500 module and not at a terminal strip to which a spur line
to the GPM500 is connected.
CAN bus interface CAN4 being operated with a CANopen protocol is used to connect the
BAT500 (or further optional components).
1.5.5.3 Modbus
For the communication with external systems (e.g. automation system or superior PMS system)
there is available a Modbus interface. The Modbus is based on an RS-485 interface with two
transmission and receiving lines plug GND connection.
With the aid of two additional ZKG500 modules a redundant Modbus connection of an individual
GPM500 or of an interconnected system of GPM500 devices to an external system can be real-
ised. The interconnected system can consist of a maximum of 60 GPM500 devices being all
interconnected via the GPM bus.
These two ZKG500 modules which are equipped with the software for the redundant Modbus
connection are working as "gateway computers" each between the redundant GPM bus system
with the connected "target GPM" and the Modbus to a superior external system ("host").
The gateway computer listens on the redundant GPM bus, i.e. CAN1 bus and CAN2 bus
respectively, and stores the data of up to 60 GPM500 devices. The host computer has access
to these data via the RS485 Modbus interface. A command from the host computer is trans-
mitted to the gateway computer. There it is converted into a CAN telegram and passed on to
the target GPM500 to be addressed.
2 Operation
The GPM500 is a built-in unit. After the installation the terminal area must be covered so as to
ensure a sufficient protection against the inadmissible touching of live parts!

3 Service
1. The GPM500 modules must be installed by the responsible, trained personnel only.
2. The applicable safety, environmental and operating safety regulations must be obeyed.
3. The constructor must observe the accident prevention regulations in accordance with the
statutory provisions.
4. The repair work on and in the units must be carried out by the personnel only having been
specially trained for this purpose.
5. It is to be ensured that the measuring inputs of the GPM500 are voltage-free and dead
respectively. Special care is to be taken in connection with the terminals marked red.
6. If maintenance and repair work can be carried out only if parts of the unit / of the equipment
are under tension, then at least the following additional measures are required:
- Insulating cover of the parts being under tension.
- Presence of a second, trained person who, in case of danger, can switch off the equip-
ment and provide aid.
- Use of insulated tools.
- Working on an insulated standing surface.
7. When replacing the assemblies the following safety regulations are to be observed:
CAUTION
Electronic assemblies can be damaged, if they are replaced
during operation. Assemblies are to be replaced only with power
off!
In doing so, it must be borne in mind that the GPM500 has got two
redundant supplies.
Due to the fact that the installation of an assembly at a wrong mounting position might
cause damage to the equipment, the following procedure is to be applied:
- Replace only one assembly each. Before inserting the new assembly it is to be made
sure that the jumpers of the new assembly are correctly set. For this purpose, the
jumpers must be compared to the corresponding figures.
- Defective assemblies must be marked as such at the front panel, e.g. by means of an
adhesive label.
CAUTION
THIS UNIT CONTAINS ELECTROSTATIC SENSITIVE DEVICES.
OBSERVE THE PRECAUTIONS DURING HANDLING IN ACCORD-
ANCE WITH DIN EN 61 340-5-1!
8. Fuses may be replaced only if the circuit has been switched off.
9. Spare fuses must have the same electrical values.
10. If a fuse has been replaced or a miniature circuit-breaker has been switched on again for
the first time and the equipment fails again, then the cause of the failure is to be eliminated
before re-starting the equipment.
3.2.1 Care
Periodically (monthly) it is to check and to ensure that the cooling of the modules and the

The modules are equipped with connectors. This way the units can be quickly connected and
visibly disconnected in case of need.
CAUTION
Connectors must be plugged or withdrawn in the de-energised
condition only!
Modules ZGK500, GOV500, DIO500, TRV500/501/502, DIF500, DCC500 and USS500 have
got 16 external terminals each.
Module SLE500 and power supply module NEG502 and combined power supply module
NEG501/510 respectively have got 32 external terminals.
The detailed terminal assignment is given in Annex A.
WARNING
If avoidable, do not work with power ON!
Apart from that, observe the regulations for work on live parts.
CAUTION
Do not use any etching chemicals during the installation.
Broad seal:
CAUTION
Impurities on the golden contacts of the memory card can lead to
malfunctions of the electrical contacts.
The memory card must not get in touch with any chemicals
because in case of contact this might cause a permanent damage.
NOTE
The BAT500 can be operated also with the protective film on it.
For this reason, do not remove the protective film until after
completion of all work steps.
1. Loosen the protective film at the front at the places marked with "REMOVE" and completely
remove it.

The J11, J12, J13 and J14 strips are used to impede the CAN buses (0, 4, 1 and 2) (120 ohm
bus termination impedance). To this purpose two jumpers must be set on each of the respective
strips.
While CAN0 and CAN4 are generally not impeded, the bus for CAN1 and CAN2 on the other
hand are to be impeded for the GPM bus if the GPM is at the end of the bus.

The J5 strip stipulates how the DA relays react when the watchdog relay is released.
Pins 1-2 bridged: all of the DA relays are disconnected by the watchdog relay (supply of
connected 24 volts). Standard setting.
Pins 2-3 bridged: no effect on the DA relay (supply of supported 24 volts).
The J1, J2, J3 and J4 3-pole strips are used to preselect whether a break contact or a make
contact for the respective DA channel is made to the output terminal.
Bridging pins 1-2 will lead through the break contact and bridging 2-3 will lead through the make
contact.
The 4-pole strips J11, J12, J13 and J14 are used to preselect whether the DE channel terminals
1 to 4 are self-contained or whether they serve the purpose of monitoring line breaks of adjacent
channel terminals (5-8).
Pins 2-3 bridged: the respective DE channels are self-contained without a line-break monitoring
device.
Pins 1-2 and 3-4 bridged: the respective DE channels are programmed for line-break moni-
toring.
The CAN bus is impeded with the J6 strip; this is however not necessary for the GPM.

In the case of the bridged pins 1-2 of the 3-pole J5 strip (default setting) the higher/lower relays
are released when the watchdog relay is released (relay supply by means of connected 24
volts).
In the case of bridged pins 2-3 on J5 the release of the watchdog relay has no effect on the
"higher/lower" relay (relay supply by means of supported 24 volts).
Jumper for configuration of the analogue outputs:
0 bis +10 Volt terminal: 1-2 set 1-2 set 1-2 set
-10 bis +10 Volt terminal: 2-3 set 1-2 set 1-2 set
-20 bis + 20mA terminal: 2-3 set nothing set nothing set
The internal CAN bus is impeded with the J11 strip; this is however not necessary for the GPM.

Jumpers are used to connect the three output signals of the TRV500 with various bus connec-
tion pins or with external supply terminals.
It is always necessary to "change over" the output channels if several TRV500s are operated
together on the analogue bus.

In the case of the TRV502 module the jumpers are set on delivery, so that channels 1, 2 and 3
are not connected to the analogue bus, but to the respective output terminals (J10, J11 and J12
are plugged instead of J2, J5 and J8).
CAUTION
Incorrect jumpering must be avoided since this could result in
damage to the connected modules. J2, J5 and J8 must not be
jumpered on the TRV502!

Setting jumper J5 will result in impulses from an oscillator being transmitted to the watchdog IC.
This will deactivate the monitoring function of the watchdog IC. This deactivation prevents the
CPU, on downloading or in a test run, from constantly receiving re-set signals from the
watchdog IC.
In standard operation the CPU will generate cyclical signal changes for the watchdog IC so the
J5 will not need to be set. These jumpers are not set as a standard.
The connection of the RS-232 interface to the CPU is made with J6 and J7.
These two jumpers must be set for the program test via the RS-232 interface. These jumpers
are not set as a standard.
The connection between the debug/download interface (BGND) and the reset entry of the CPU
is made with J1. These jumpers must be set for program test/download via the BGND interface.
These jumpers are not set as a standard.
The CAN buses (0 and 4) are impeded with the J4 and J2 strips, which is not always the case
with the GPM.

Jumpers J4, J5, J6, J7 and J8 are used to set whether the output contact of the "OFF power
switch" relay is to be a make contact or a break contact.
– All of the jumpers set on 1-2: relay contact is a break contact (for low-voltage winding)
– All of the jumpers set on 2-3: relay contact is a make contact (for shunt release)
The release time of the self-sufficient excess current monitoring device is set with jumpers J1,
J2 and J3:
– J1 set: release time = 200 msec.
– J2 set: release time = 360 msec.
– J3 set: release time = 510 msec.
