The DM 400 Hydro main features are:

Power Flow speed regulator

A regulator more suited for hydro turbines than the more common PID regulator.

The Power Flow regulator has been proven in numerous hydro turbine installations all over the world.

AC measurement, control and protection

The AC measurement system offers measurement of all AC values,

synchronisation and a number of generator and busbar/mains protections.

Turbine type: Francis and similar

Control of wicket gate position.

Turbine type: Kaplan

As Francis, plus control of runner pitch. The relation between wicket gate

opening and runner pitch is a configurable curve laid into the DM 400 Hydro.

Turbine type: Pelton/Turgo

Configurable sequential control of multiple nozzle/spear valves. Control of deflector/bypass.

DEIF’s integrated Delomatic 400 Hydro (DM 400 Hydro) controller is primarily

a hydro turbine modular process controller, designed specifically for hydro turbine generator applications.

Features

• Hydro Turbine Controller for parallel with mains or stand-alone generator

• Valve controls (main/drain/fill)

• Water level control

• Relay or analogue output for speed/power control

• Turbine control, protection and supervision

• Generator control, protection and supervision

Control of auxiliaries

Apart from valve control (speed control valve(s), main valve, drain valve, fill valve),

the DM 400 Hydro also includes control of auxiliaries such as hydraulic power pack,

brakes, jacks, cooling system, lubrication system and so on.

Everything is carried out using parameter settings, removing the need for programming.

Due to the modular hardware of the DM 400 Hydro, it can be fitted with the

needed inputs and outputs to match the requirements in question.

Features

• Automatic and electronic protection features

• Automatic restart after fault condition

• Alarm relay

• Automatic output power derating for high ambient temperatures

• LED indication of faults, boost charging and normal operation

• Boost mode

• Adjustable output voltage

• No moving parts – no maintenanceTested and certified as a first grade quality unit with a robust

aluminium housing and black plastic cover, the DBC-1 has a long and reliable product

life and withstands years of everyday wear and tear. The DBC-1 is available

with 12 V or 24 V voltage and 5 or 10 A current output.

Using switch mode technology to reduce energy waste, the unit is also vibration-resistant

and features dry contact alarm relay activation in cases of fault detection,

as well as boost/equalisation for extended battery lifetime,

and advanced over-voltage (transient) protection.

Features

Multi-function synchroscope meter – Features

The multi-function synchroschope meter from DEIF has a long list of features:

• Multi-function precision LED synchroscope

• Easy push-button programming of all set points

• Very high user safety

• High immunity to harmonic distortion

• Dead-bus functionality

• Voltage measurement

• Frequency matching

• Phase angle comparison

• DIN standard size: Q96

Deif synchroscope meter (CSQ-3)

The CSQ-3 integrates synchroscope and check synchronising relay into a microprocessor-controlled,

easy-to-install solution. CSQ-3 is a multi-function synchroscope meter with a long list of functions.

The multi-function synchroscope meter unit, CSQ-3. is operated from the front using

pushbuttons behind the removable front cover, protecting users from the near hazardous

voltages during set point programming: an innovative DEIF feature usually seen in

similar products where switchboards have to be opened to operate the synchroscope.

Programming editor and debug

The advanced debugging interface gives complete control of all internal variables

without the need for any additional tools. It is easy to set up and use the trace

function to monitor time series of selected variables in the application.

I/O configuration

The AWC 500 platform includes configuration files that can easily be imported

into CODESYS V3 and makes the I/O configuration and mapping to memory variables an easy task.

Configuration files for all the DEIF AWC 500 I/O modules are included

in the CODESYS package that comes with the AWC 500 controller.

Visualisation

CODESYS V3 offers an advanced visualisation tool which is supported by every web browser environment.

The visualisation tool is integrated in the CODESYS V3 environment and makes it

easy to design the visualisation together with the application programming.

Typically, the visualisation can then be accessed from standard panel PCs or workstations.

Additionally, DEIF offers a JAVA-based loader for the web visualisation that

can be executed on any PC-based system without the need for a web browser.

Download

Contact DEIF ( awc500support@deif.com ) for access information

for downloading via the AWC 500 FTP area.

The newest CODESYS V3 enables easy programming through all IEC 61131-3-supported languages.

A search functionality automatically locates all AWC 500 modules connected

to the EtherCat bus system. Predefined application modules offer a very easy

access to communication interfaces and peripherals. The main features of the CODESYS

environment are introduced in the following, and additional information can be

found in the complete technical documentation available online.
