Patent-pending Emulation

A standard in the Automatic Genset Controller, AGC

4. using DEIF’s Emulation Solution, all you need to do

to perform a complete test of your Power Management

Systems is turn on your controller and connect communications.

The Emulations Solution’s focus on exact reproduction

of behaviour improves your planning, commissioning

and training. It is all done in a safe environment without

the costly and excessive need of gensets and switchgear

and without the risk of equipment damage and human

injury. The innovative solution gives you a critical market

advantage and guarantees your customers a cutting

edge, finished result.

Remote communication and control

The AGC-4 supports serial communication protocols

including Modbus (RS-485. USB, and TCP/IP) and

Profibus. This feature allows you to supervise and control

your genset/plant from a remote location and minimise

downtime or take immediate action on genset alarms or warnings.

AGC-4 features

► Multiple operating modes in one software

► Synchronisation of up to 56 breakers in one plant

► Multi-master power management

► Load-dependent start and stop

► Load management

► Emulation for fast training and I/O test

► Hot Standby – change to backup genset controller on the fly

► Close Before Excitation – synchronisation in less than 10 seconds

DEIF’s Automatic Genset Controller (AGC-4) is the

most comprehensive and flexible power management

and protection unit on the market today. A further

development of DEIF’s AGC-3. the new generation

controller is fully compatible with its predecessor and has

been designed to allow for easy, intuitive, and smooth

switch-overs for those looking to upgrade.

Suitable for a wide range of applications, the AGC-4’s

standard sequences include back-up power, start/stop,

synchronisation, and load sharing.

The AGC-4 is simple to incorporate into both new and

existing designs, customising the application to fit your

needs, for instance dedicating specific functions or logic

conditions to different inputs and outputs.

Technologically sophisticated, the AGC-4 is also the

world’s most robust power management controller,

successfully tested to maintain reliability and durability

in extreme weather and hazardous conditions. Approvals

include TÜV and UL.

Applications

The DEIF DU-2/MKIII Paralleling and Protection Unit (24VDC) is

suited for a wide range of applications including Power Plants:

Suitable for small to medium power plants where several generators

run in parallel to cater to a changing load demand.

Marine Use: It is used onboard marine vessels for management 

of power generation and to have stable power supplies for integrated onboard systems.

Industrial Plant Use: It is used in factories and manufacturing units

for a continuous supply of power and protection of power-sensitive equipment.

Data Centers: It guarantees power backup works seamlessly at data

centers as that place needs continuous power supply in order to maintain operations.

Telecommunications: It is implemented in telecom facilities so that there

won’t be a break in the power supply towards essential communication equipment.

Benefits from Using the DEIF DU-2/MKIII

Enhanced System Reliability: The DU-2/MKIII ensures better system

reliability resulting from proper load sharing between generators.

This therefore reduces, hence preventing possible cases of outages and failure.

Increased Efficiency: The advanced load management feature for the generators

in the DU-2/MKIII minimizes fuel consumption as well as lowers operational costs.

Safety Assurance: Improved overall protection mechanisms on the DU-2/MKIII

prevent electrical faults from turning into equipment damage or unsafe operating conditions.

Easy integration: The flexible communication capabilities make easy integration

of the DU-2/MKIII into existing systems, allowing for upgrades without major modifications.

Reduced Downtime: The unit’s advanced protection systems allows for early detection of potential

problems,

which can be addressed promptly; thus reducing the chances of spurious and unplanned downtime.
