A major product in our standard range is our PLC operated generator control and paralleling system. The system features a manufactured control cubicle, with intelligence from a fully programmed 'Modicon' programmable logic controller. Paralleling is performed using a ‘Woodward’ digital synchroniser and load control unit (DSLC). The PLC also provides continuous monitoring of the normal mains supply, with automatic generator start and signalling to operate an external power supply transfer switch and up to 10 prioritised stages of load shedding.

The system is primarily designed for use with dual, paralleled generators in isolated operation, in either standby or prime power applications. The system can be expanded to include control and paralleling for additional generators by linking the main control panel to extra stand alone PLC control cubicles. The system can also be expanded to include a Master Synchroniser, to allow mains paralleling for load testing and to provide seamless, uninterrupted transfer of building loads from generator to mains power.

The package is suited for use with all major generator manufacturers and is compatible with most generator manufacturer's standard engine control panels. The PLC control system includes monitoring of fuel day tank and bulk fuel storage levels and control signalling to an external fuel transfer system.

Where required, the control system can be expanded by the addition of extra PLC I/O modules, to provide greater power distribution management (eg: load shedding) and site specific control functions.
