DATAKOM DKG-317 Manual Remote Start Controller

Description

DATAKOM DKG-317 is a Manual Remote Start Controller designed for generator sets. It is used to control, monitor, and protect generator systems in manual and remote operating modes. It combines simplicity and reliability with advanced features, making it suitable for a wide range of generator applications.

Features:

Manual and Remote Operation:

• Supports both manual and remote start operations.
• Remote start can be triggered by an external signal.

Built-in Protections:

• Engine protections for high coolant temperature, low oil pressure, over-speed, and under-speed.
• Generator protections for over/under-voltage, over/under-frequency, and short circuit.

Monitoring Functions:

• Displays critical parameters like oil pressure, coolant temperature, engine speed, generator voltage, frequency, and battery voltage.
• Event and fault logging for easy diagnostics.

Compact Design:

• Fits standard control panels with user-friendly interfaces.

LED Indicators:

• Status indicators for generator faults, alarms, and operational modes.

Configurable Parameters:

• Adjustable settings for delays, thresholds, and operational parameters via PC or front panel.

Compatibility:

• Works with diesel and gas-powered generators.

Specifications:

Input Voltage:

• DC Supply: 9–33 VDC (supports both 12V and 24V systems).

Monitoring:

• Generator Voltage: 50-300 VAC (single-phase or three-phase).
• Frequency: 0-100 Hz.
• Oil Pressure: Resistive sensor input.
• Coolant Temperature: Resistive sensor input.

Relay Outputs:

• Start/Stop Relay.
• Alarm Relay.
• Configurable Outputs.

Inputs:

• Emergency Stop Input.
• Remote Start Input.
• Configurable Digital Inputs (e.g., for oil pressure, temperature sensors, or auxiliary alarms).

Communication:

• USB port for configuration and monitoring (with PC software).
• Supports MODBUS protocol for integration with SCADA systems.

Operation Modes:

Manual Mode:

• Start/stop the generator using the front panel buttons.
• Useful for on-site operation.

Remote Mode:

• Generator starts automatically when a remote start signal is received.
• Ideal for applications where the generator is controlled from a central system.

Alarm and Shutdown Management:

• Automatically shuts down the generator during faults (e.g., low oil pressure or high coolant temperature).
• Activates warning lights and relays for alarms.

Display and Indicators:

• LCD Screen: Displays real-time values for voltage, frequency, oil pressure, temperature, etc.
• LED Indicators:
  1. Mains ON
  2. Generator ON
  3. Alarm Active
  4. Fault Conditions

Applications:

• Standby and prime generator control.
• Industrial, commercial, and residential generators.
• Remote generator monitoring and operation.

Installation:

Wiring:

• Connect the controller inputs to the generator sensors (oil pressure, temperature, etc.).
• Connect outputs to the starter motor and alarm circuits.

Configuration:

• Use the front panel or PC software to adjust operational parameters (e.g., start delays, stop delays, alarm thresholds).

Power Supply:

• Ensure the controller is connected to a stable DC power source (12V or 24V).

Troubleshooting:

Generator Does Not Start:

• Check the wiring between the controller and the starter motor.
• Ensure the remote start signal is received (if in remote mode).

Faults Not Clearing:

• Inspect the fault log to identify and resolve issues.
• Ensure sensor connections (e.g., oil pressure, coolant temperature) are intact.

LCD/LEDs Not Working:

• Verify the power supply voltage is within the acceptable range.
