WARNING
Read this entire manual and all other publications pertaining to the work to be performed before instal-
ling, operating, or servicing this equipment. Practice all plant and safety instructions and precautions.
Failure to follow instructions can cause personal injury and/or property damage.
The engine, turbine, or other type of prime mover should be equipped with an overspeed (overtempera-
ture, or overpressure, where applicable) shutdown device(s), that operates totally independently of the
prime mover control device(s) to protect against runaway or damage to the engine, turbine, or other
type of prime mover with possible personal injury or loss of life should the mechanical-hydraulic gov-
ernor(s) or electric control(s), the actuator(s), fuel control(s), the driving mechanism(s), the linkage(s),
or the controlled device(s) fail.
Any unauthorized modifications to or use of this equipment outside its specified mechanical, electrical,
or other operating limits may cause personal injury and/or property damage, including damage to the
equipment. Any such unauthorized modifications: (i) constitute "misuse" and/or "negligence" within
the meaning of the product warranty thereby excluding warranty coverage for any resulting damage,
and (ii) invalidate product certifications or listings.

CAUTION
To prevent damage to a control system that uses an alternator or battery-charging device, make sure
the charging device is turned off before disconnecting the battery from the system.
Electronic controls contain static-sensitive parts. Observe the following precautions to prevent dam-
age to these parts.
• Discharge body static before handling the control (with power to the control turned off, contact a
grounded surface and maintain contact while handling the control).

Chapter 1.
General Information

The LS 4 is an intelligent synchronizer and protection device capable of measuring voltage and current though
integrated measuring inputs. It can calculate set point values using internal software routines (i.e. for synchroni-
zation) and can transfer these set point values to a lower level GCP control unit using the integrated CAN bus
(Guidance Level). The LS 4 is also capable of closing the connected breaker at the synchronous point. Addition-
ally the measured/calculated values may be monitored for exceeding/falling below a predefined set point result-
ing in an automatic opening of the connected circuit breaker.

The detailed model description for the LS 4 reads as follows:

LS415 B
Mounting
[B]=Flush-mounting
Current transformer, secondary
[1] = ../1 A
[5] = ../5 A
Voltage transformer, secondary
[1] = 100 Vac
[4] = 400 Vac
Type
Table 1-1: Reading LS 4 part numbers

Example:
LS 415B (flush mounted, standard unit with 100 Vac PT and ../5 A CT inputs)

Intended Use: This control must only be operated for the uses described in this manual. The prerequisite for a
proper and safe operation of the product is correct transportation, storage, and installation as well as careful op-
eration and maintenance.

NOTE
This manual has been developed for an item fitted with all available options. Inputs/outputs, functions,
configuration screens and other details described which do not exist on your item may be ignored.
The present manual has been prepared to enable the installation and commissioning of the item. Due
to the large variety of parameter settings it is not possible to cover every possible combination. This
manual is therefore only a guide. In case of incorrect entries or a total loss of functions, the default set-
tings can be taken from the enclosed list of parameters.

Chapter 2.
Electrostatic Discharge Awareness

All electronic equipment is static-sensitive, some components more than others. To protect these components
from static damage, you must take special precautions to minimize or eliminate electrostatic discharges.

Follow these precautions when working with or near the control.

1.) Before doing maintenance on the electronic control, discharge the static electricity on your body to
ground by touching and holding a grounded metal object (pipes, cabinets, equipment, etc.).

2.) Avoid the build-up of static electricity on your body by not wearing clothing made of synthetic materials.
Wear cotton or cotton-blend materials as much as possible because these do not store static electric
charges as easily as synthetics.

3.) Keep plastic, vinyl, and Styrofoam materials (such as plastic or Styrofoam cups, cigarette packages, cello-
phane wrappers, vinyl books or folders, plastic bottles, etc.) away from the control, modules, and work
area as much as possible.

4.) Opening the control cover may void the unit warranty.
Do not remove the printed circuit board (PCB) from the control cabinet unless absolutely necessary. If
you must remove the PCB from the control cabinet, follow these precautions:

• Ensure that the device is completely voltage-free (all connectors have to be disconnected).

• Do not touch any part of the PCB except the edges.

• Do not touch the electrical conductors, connectors, or components with conductive devices or with
bare hands.

• When replacing a PCB, keep the new PCB in the plastic antistatic protective bag it comes in until you
are ready to install it. Immediately after removing the old PCB from the control cabinet, place it in the
antistatic protective bag.

CAUTION
To prevent damage to electronic components caused by improper handling, read and observe the pre-
cautions in Woodward manual 82715, Guide for Handling and Protection of Electronic Controls, Printed
Circuit Boards, and Modules.

Chapter 3.
Installation

CAUTION
A circuit breaker must be located near to the unit and in a position easily accessible to the operator.
This must also bear a sign identifying it as an isolating switch for the unit.

NOTE
Inductive devices connected to the system (such as operating current coils, undervoltage tripping
units, or auxiliary/power contacts) must be connected to a suitable interference suppressor.

The following chart may be used to convert square millimeters [mm²] to AWG and vice versa:

Possible CAN Bus Problems

If no data is transmitted on the CAN bus, check the following for common CAN bus communication problems:

- T structure bus is utilized (stub-end feeders or branch lines are not recommended)
- CAN-L and CAN-H are interchanged
- Not all devices on the bus are using identical Baud rates
- Terminating resistor(s) is/are missing
- Incorrect baud rate (too high) for length of CAN bus

Maximum CAN Bus Length

The maximum length of the communication bus wiring is dependent on the configured Baud rate. Refer to Table
3-2 for the maximum bus length (Source: CANopen; Holger Zeltwanger (Hrsg.); 2001 VDE VERLAG GMBH,
Berlin und Offenbach; ISBN 3-8007-2448-0).

Table 3-2: Maximum CAN bus length

The maximum specified length for the communication bus wiring might not be achieved if poor quality wire is
utilized, there is high contact resistance, or other conditions exist. Reducing the baud rate may overcome these is-
sues.

Functional Description

Introduction
≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡
Measuring Values
• Voltage
Three-phase measurement of the rms values of the phase-to-neutral and phase-to-phase voltages of two sys-
tems (system [A] and [B]; system [B] only phase-to-phase). This unit can be delivered with the following
measuring voltage ranges (rated values). Selection of type during ordering (see page 75 "Technical Data"):
- 66/115 Vac
- 230/400 Vac
• Frequency
Time measurement from the digitally filtered measuring voltages. The measurement of the frequency is three-
phased if all voltages are greater than 15 % of the rated value (100 Vac or 400 Vac). This guarantees a fast
and precise measurement of the frequency. However the frequency is still measured correctly even if voltage
is only applied to one phase.
• Current
Three-phase rms values.
• Real power
Single-phase measuring calculated from apparent power and power factor cosphi (power factor).
• Re-active power
Single-phase measurement calculated from apparent power and power factor sinphi.
• Power factor cosphi
Time measurement between the filtered measuring values of the voltage VL12 and the conductor current IL1.

General Functions
• 1 freely configurable relay output (NO) as ready for operation relay
• 4 freely configurable relay outputs (NO)
• 2 freely configurable relay outputs (change-over)
• 1 relay output (change-over) for synchronization (pulse relay)
• Discrete input for alarm blocking or acknowledgment
• Password system
• CAN bus interface
• 4 discrete control inputs

Power Factor Definition

≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡
The phasor diagram is used from the generator's view. This defines the following definitions.

Power Factor is defined as a ratio of the real power to apparent power. In a purely resistive circuit, the voltage
and current waveforms are instep resulting in a ratio or power factor of 1.00 (often referred to as unity). In an in-
ductive circuit the current lags behind the voltage waveform resulting in usable power (real power) and unusable
power (reactive power). This results in a positive ratio or lagging power factor (i.e. 0.85lagging). In a capacitive
circuit the current waveform leads the voltage waveform resulting in usable power (real power) and unusable
power (reactive power). This results in a negative ratio or a leading power factor (i.e. 0.85leading).

Inductive: Electrical load whose current waveform lags Capacitive: Electrical load whose current waveform
the voltage waveform thus having a lagging power fac- leads the voltage waveform thus having a leading pow-
tor. Some inductive loads such as electric motors have er factor. Some capacitive loads such as capacitor
a large startup current requirement resulting in lagging banks or buried cable result in leading power factors.

Synchronizing
The variable system is synchronized to the fixed system (variable and fixed system can be configured) for vol-
tage and frequency. This is done by sending set point values through the CAN bus to the lower level GCP control
that are electrically connected with the configured variable system. The LS 4 calculates the correct synchronous
point to issue a CB close command using the switching time of the CB (Parameter 37). Synchronizing/closing of
the CB is done if the following conditions are fulfilled simultaneously:

• The unit is in automatic mode.

• The synchronizing function is enabled (Parameter 31).
• Voltage and frequency of both systems [A] and [B] are within the configured range (for both systems this
range is adjustable by changing the settings for the voltage monitoring functions of system [A] if this protec-
tion is enabled; Parameter 57, Parameter 63, Parameter 73, and Parameter 79):

Dead Bus Start

A close CB command without synchronization may be issued if the following conditions are fulfilled simulta-
neously:

• Dead bus start function is configured to ON (Parameter 43).

• Discrete input "Enable CB" is set.
• Discrete input "Reply: CB is open" is set.
• One of the three possible black start functions is enabled
1.) Parameter 46 (Vsystem A=Vn/Vsystem B=0)
Vsystem A is equal with Vn (using the configured rated voltage difference dV |V-Vn|) and Vsystem B is zero (us-
ing the configured zero voltage difference dV |V-0|).
2.) Parameter 45 (Vsystem A=0/Vsystem B=Vn)
Vsystem A is zero (using the configured zero voltage difference Vd |V-0|) and Vsystem B is equal with Vn (us-
ing the configured rated voltage difference dV |V-Vn|).
3.) Parameter 44 (Vsystem A=0/Vsystem B=0)
VA is zero and VB is zero (using the configured zero voltage difference dV |V-0|).
• No alarm is triggered if parameter "Blocking at dead start alarm" is configured to ON (Parameter 51).
• No GCP is trying to carry out a dead bus start.
• No higher prioritized LS 4 is trying to close its breaker.

In conditions 1 and 2 the frequency of systems [A] or [B] must be within the configured range.

The LS 4 is equipped with two interfaces that work at the following baud rates:

• Direct configuration 9,600 Baud (8 Bit, no parity, 1 Stop bit)

• CAN bus (CiA) 125, 250 or 500 kBaud configurable via serial interface.

Direct Configuration (DPC)

The unit may be directly configured utilizing a DPC configuration cable, the configuration interface port, and a
PC/laptop computer with the LeoPC1 program. The proper configuration file must be opened using LeoPC1 (file
name: "xxxx-xxxx-yyy-zz.asm" ["xxxx-xxxx" is the product number or P/N, "yyy" is the revision number, and
"zz" is the language code]). The parameters in the "Configuration" chapter may be modified using this file.

Chapter 6.
Configuration

Configuration may be performed by manually inputting the desired set points utilizing the touch pad buttons and
the LC display. Alternately, the unit may also be configured using a PC/laptop computer and the program
LeoPC1 via the serial interface or through the CAN bus. The following baud rates are usable if the unit is confi-
gured through Leo PC1:

• Configuration via direct configuration plug = 9,600 Baud

• CAN bus configuration: The Baud rate is equal to the Baud rate of transmitting and receiving
Baud rates. This Baud rate may be configured using the direct configuration cable (125, 250, 500 kBaud ac-
cording to CiA; standard setting = 125 kBaud).

CAUTION
Please note that configuration only should be done while the system is not in operation.

NOTE
A list of all parameters may be found in Appendix B of this manual.

You can advance through the individual parameter screens if you are in configuration mode (simultaneously
pressing of "Digit↑" and "Cursor→" push buttons permits access to the configuration mode) by using the "Se-
lect" button. If you press and hold the "Select" push button, the scroll function will be activated, allowing for the
parameter screens to be advanced through more rapidly. The control unit will permit the operator to reverse up to
four previous screens (exception: it is not possible to reverse from the first parameter to the last parameter or to
backup through the service screens). To perform the reverse function through the parameter screens, the "Select"
and "Cursor→" push buttons must be pressed and released simultaneously. The control unit will revert to auto-
matic mode if an entry isn’t performed, a change made, or any other action performed for 120 seconds.

NOTE
There are two different hardware versions described in this operating manual: A 100 V-version [1] and
a 400 V-version [4]. The versions vary as far as the configuration screens and the parameter input
ranges are concerned. The two types are differentiated by indicating the voltage: ([1] ... or [4] ...).

Adjust Settings: Configuration mode Button "Select"

SELECT (ANWAHL)
After the configuration mode is enabled, the subsequent screens can be viewed and
modified within the preset limits. Please note, that by depressing the "Select" but-
ton, the following screens are advanced by one screen each. If a parameter is confi-
gured "OFF", the related screens are not displayed or monitored by the control.
Pressing the "Select" button will advance the displayed screen to the next parame-
ter.

Entering the Configuration

≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡
Password
The unit is equipped with a three-level code and configuration hierarchy, which allows different user access to
the control. A distinction is made between:

Code level CS0 (User Level) Factory password = none

This code level allows for monitoring of the system and does not permit access to the parameters. Configuration
is blocked.

Code level CS1 (Basic Service Level) Factory password = "0 0 0 1"
This code level entitles the user to change selected parameters, like setting Bar/PSI, °C/°F, and clock adjustment.
Changing a password is not permitted at this level. This password expires two hours after entering the password
and the user is returned to the CS0 level.

Code level CS2 (Commissioning Level) Factory password = "0 0 0 2"

Allows direct access to all parameters (displaying and changing). In addition, the user may also set the password
for levels CS1 and CS2. This password expires two hours after entering the password and the user is returned to
the CS0 level.

NOTE
Once the code level is entered, access to the configuration menus will be allowed for two hours or until
another password is entered into the control. If a user needs to exit a code level, then code level CS0
should be entered. This will block any configuration of the control. A user may return to CS0 by allow-
ing the entered password to expire after two hours or by changing any one digit on the random num-
ber generated on the password screen and entering it into the unit.

NOTE
The following configuration screen "Enter code number" only appears if the parameter "Password Pro-
tection" is configured "ON" (see below).

Parameter 3
Enter code number 0000 to 9999
Enter code
number 0000 Upon enabling the configuration mode, the user is required to enter an access code
number, which identifies the various users. The displayed number XXXX is a ran-
domly generated number. If the random number is confirmed by pressing the "Se-
lect" button without being changed, the current level of access maintained. Upon
entering either a level 1 or level 2 access code, the corresponding level of access is
granted. If an incorrect access code is entered the control unit changes to code level
0 and all access is blocked until a code level 1 or 2 access code is entered.
Parameter 4
Password protection ON/OFF
Password
Protection ON ON ................Password protection is enabled. Configuration access is enabled by
entering the appropriate password (Code level 1/2). If an incorrect
code number has been entered, configuration is blocked.
OFF ..............Password protection is disabled. Access to configuration screens is
permanently set to code level 2 and the code number is not queried.
This parameter can only be changed if the code number of code lev-
el 2 has been entered.

WARNING
The incorrect configuration of the unit may lead to faulty measurement of the system and cause dam-
age to the generator or switchgear systems!

Direct Configuration

NOTE
For configuration via the direct configuration plug, a direct configuration cable DPC (P/N 5417-557), the
program LeoPC1 (supplied with the cable), and the corresponding configuration files are required. Af-
ter installing LeoPC1 consult the online help feature for a description of the program and its setup.

CAUTION
If the subsequent parameter "Direct Config." (Parameter 5) is configured to "YES", the communication
with the terminals X1 to X5 via the interface is blocked. This setting can lead to malfunctions during
operation because there is no connection to the other LS 4/GCP. If the communication via the interface
X1 to X5 is to be re-established after the configuration of the unit ( i.e. CAN bus link to a GCP or via a
Gateway GW 4), the parameter must be set to "NO" (Parameter 5).

NOTE
The following conditions must be fulfilled to enable configuration via DPC:
• Parameter 5 "Direct parametr." is configured to "YES"
• A reply is present that signals that the circuit breaker is open (LED "CB ON" is off, DI at terminal 32
is energized)
• A reply is present that signals that the disconnector is open (only if Parameter 17 "Segement num-
ber Disconnector" ≠ "0", DI at terminal 74 is energized)

Parameter 5
Direct configuration YES/NO
Direct parametr.
YES YES .............. Configuration via the direct configuration port is possible if the CAN
bus link that may be established via the terminals X1 to X5 is dis-
abled . The following conditions must exist for direct configuration:
- a connection must be established between the unit and the PC via
the direct configuration cable DPC
- the Baud rate of the program LeoPC1 must be set to 9,600 Baud

Current Transformer
Parameter 11
Current transformer, system [A] 1 to 9,990/{X} A
Current transf.
0000/x The input of the current transformer ratio is necessary for the indication and control
of the actual monitored value. The current transformers ratio should be selected so
at least 60% of the secondary current rating can be measured when the monitored
system is at 100% of operating capacity (i.e. at 100% of system capacity a 5A CT
should output 3A). If the current transformers are sized so that the percentage of
the output is lower, the loss of resolution may cause inaccuracies in the monitoring
and control functions and may affect the functionality of the control.
The control may be ordered with either ../1 A or ../5 A current transformer inputs.
The CT inputs will dictate how this parameter is displayed on the control. Informa-
tion about the current transformers inputs may be found on the unit data plate.

{x} = 1 ......... LS4x1B/xxx = Current transformer with ../1 A rated current

{x} = 5 ......... LS4x5B/xxx = Current transformer with ../5 A rated current

CAUTION
The settings of the rated voltage in the system must to be equal to the settings in the lower level con-
trol unit GCP since the LS 4 only transmits a percentage [%] value via the CAN bus.

Parameter 12
Rated voltage [1] 50 to 120 V; [4] 50 to 480 V

of protective functions relate to this value only).
Parameter 13

Rated frequency
00.0Hz Rated frequency in the system (of the generator or public grid).

NOTE
With a positive real power, a positive real current flows in the "k-l" direction in the current transformer.
Positive re-active power means that with a positive effective direction, inductive re-active (lagging) cur-
rent flow in the effective direction. If the circuit of the current transformer facing the system [A] are
connected to "k", the unit shows a positive real power when system [A] supplies real power. This is
explained in the section "Direction of Power" on page 21.

CAUTION
The settings of the rated power in the system (Parameter 14) must be equal to the settings in the lower
level GCP control unit because the LS 4 only transmits a percentage [%] value via the CAN bus. If the
lower level GCP control unit is connected to more than one incoming mains no control of the mains in-
terchange power is possible. The total power evaluated in all LS 4 is displayed in the GCP.

LS 4 Functions
≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡
Function
The voltage measuring of the LS 4 is connected three phase. Current measuring is connected three-phase to sys-
tem [A] if this function is required. The possible functions are:

• Measuring conversion of both systems three-phase measured voltages as well as the three-phase measured
current of system [A] (if connected).
• Protection of the measured primary values via comparison of the configured set point values with the true
RMS values for over-/under voltage, over-/under frequency, phase/vector jump, df/dt (ROCOF), and voltage
asymmetry.
• Calculation of set point values for synchronization that are transmitted via the CAN bus to the lower level
GCP control unit). Frequency/voltage are controlled according to these set point values for synchronization in
the GCP.
• Operation of the connected breaker.

Segment Number
A segment is defined as a section of the bus, feeder, or interconnection, which cannot electrically be isolated to a
smaller section and is connected to a circuit breaker or an isolation switch with is operated or supervised by an
LS 4. A transformer is not to be considered as a segment or a point of isolation. Each segment, feeder, or inter-
connection must be assigned a number that is unique to that segment. The following restrictions apply when as-
signing segment numbers:

• A busbar must be assigned a number same number as the lowest numbered generator on that bus bar segment.
• The numbers assigned to other generators on the same busbar cannot be used to identify busbar segments.

Example: A system with six generators and two bus bars with a tiebreaker must be numbered in the following
manner. Generators 1, 2, and 3 are on busbar one and generators 4, 5, and 6 are on busbar 2. Busbar one is
assigned segment number 1 and busbar 2 is assigned segment number 4. The numbers 2, 3, 5, and 6 cannot
be used to identify segments of the system.

Otherwise the segment numbers can be assigned freely (see examples A to F).

Page 36/92 © Woodward

Manual 37105C LS 4 - Circuit Breaker Control

Each LS 4 may be assigned up to three segment numbers.

NOTE
It is not permissible to connect a load between the breaker and the isolation switch (segment no. [B]).

CAN Bus Number (Control Number)

To communicate via the CAN bus it is necessary to configure all connected controls with a unique control num-
ber. The numbers 1 to 14 are reserved for the GCP (GCP parameter "generator number"), the numbers 17 to 24
are reserved for the LS 4 (Parameter 108: "Device number CAN bus"). The segment number for the generator
busbar must be identical to the lowest generator number directly connected to that bus.

Data Communication via the CAN Bus

from the LS 4 to a higher level control system

• Status of the CB (open/closed)

• Status of the disconnector / isolation switch
• Set point value f/V +/-
• Alarms

to the LS 4 from a higher level control system

• Enable closing of the CB

• Open the CB

Priority During Breaker Closure

In an emergency application the simultaneous closing of two circuit breakers is blocked via communications be-
tween the LS4 and the GCB. Once a GCP is enabled to for a dead bus connection it has priority over all LS 4s
(any CB controlled by an LS 4 cannot be closed).
If multiple LS 4s are enabled to close a circuit breaker at the same time the LS 4 with the lowest CAN identifica-
tion number receives the master status and transmits the set point signals to the genset control (all other LS 4s are
inactive)

Manual 37105C LS 4 - Circuit Breaker Control

Preparation
Please prepare the LS 4 for configuration as follows:

• Draw a one-line diagram that only contains essential equipment. The schematic should consist of a minimum:
all used GCPs, all transformers, all breaker elements (such as circuit breakers and isolation switches), all ele-
ments to be controlled, and all LS 4s. Assign numbered addresses for each component of the system in accor-
dance with the methods described below.
• Number all GCP control units from 1-14 (order is user-defined and depends on your application). DO NOT
CHANGE this number after configuration of the LS 4 has begun. If this number is changed all LS 4s must be
reconfigured.
• Number all system LS 4s from 17-24 (order is user-defined and depends on your application). DO NOT
CHANGE this number after configuration of the LS 4 has begun. If this number is changed all LS 4s must be
reconfigured.
• Number all segments, generators, and mains/feeders in the system. DO NOT CHANGE this number after
configuration of the LS 4 has begun. If this number is changed all LS 4s must be reconfigured.
• Define which GCPs are connected to a common busbar.
• Configure all GCPs.

The LS 4s are now ready to be configured via the touch pad buttons or Leo PC.

"invalid".
valid ............. If the measured power is to be used for mains interchange real power
control configure as "valid".
Parameter 20
Mains connection Voltage A / Voltage B / Disconnector / none
Mains connection
---------------- Fixed networks in the system must be defined as a mains connection. This is used
to transfer mains parallel and mains failures for Automatic Mains Failure (AMF) to
the lower level GCP.
Voltage A........ System [A] is a fixed mains incoming.
Voltage B ........ System [B] is a fixed mains incoming.
Disconnector .. On the opposite side of the disconnector a fixed mains incoming is
connected.
none ................ None of the systems is a fixed mains incoming and is not used for
mains failure detection.
Parameter 21
Select variable system Voltage A / Voltage B
Variable system
---------------- One of the systems must be defined as a variable system. A variable system is de-
fined as a system that can change in frequency and voltage due to changes in fre-
quency and voltage of the GCP control unit. In normal applications this is the fre-
quency/voltage that is situated opposite the mains voltage of the MCB. The
opposite side of the CB is therefore either constant (mains voltage) or a controlled
stable (bus coupler) system. If one of the systems is configured as mains con-
nection the other system is automatically assumed as variable.

Parameter 24
Measuring system for closing the CB one-phase / three-phase
Measuring CB ON
---------------- one-phase ....... For synchronization of the CB only one phase of voltage VL12 for
both systems A and B is used.
three-phase .... For synchronization of the CB all three phases of voltage VL123 for
both systems A and B are used (three-phase synchronization). Ad-
ditionally the direction of field rotation for both systems is moni-
tored and an alarm is issued if the directions do not match.

Configuration Screens in the GCP Control Unit

NOTE
This section describes the configuration screens in the GCP control unit which work together with the
LS 4. Please also note the settings for the emergency power and the mains settling time.

Parameter 28
LS 4 mode ON/OFF
LS 4 modus
ON ON................ The GCP is operating in LS 4. The control unit CAN bus messages
from the LS 4 and reacts accordingly. Additionally the control unit
transmits messages to the LS 4.
OFF.............. The control unit operates without LS 4 functionality as a normal gen-
set control.
Parameter 29
Rated power in the system 0 to 16,000 kW
Rated power
system 00000kW The LS 4 transmits the actual mains real power in percent related to the rated power
in the system to the GCP control unit .

Note
This configuration is valid only if Parameter 28 is configured to ON.

ATTENTION
Due to the LS 4 only transmitting a percentage value related to the rated value it is
mandatory to configure the rated power in all units (GCPs and LS 4s) to the same
value.
Parameter 30
Mains decoupling through GCB/external
Mains decoupling
via --------- GCB ............. If a mains failure occurs (see mains protection) the GCB would be
opened. (A mains failure would be detected using the mains voltage
on terminals 50/51/52.)
external........ The GCP control unit reacts as follows to a mains failure: a mains
decoupling order is issued by closing the relay "Mains failure exter-
nal" in the GCP. This command must be evaluated externally (i.e.
open the mains circuit breaker).

Note
"Mains decouple through external" is valid only if Parameter 28 is configured to
ON.

© Woodward Page 41/92

Manual 37105C LS 4 - Circuit Breaker Control

In the LS 4 mode the following is valid:

• The value "Mains current" is not visible.
• The service display "Mains frequency and voltage" is not visible.
• Instead of the display "Mains power factor" and "Mains power" the power measured in the LS 4 would be
displayed: "MN LS 4: B/L00000kW". If the unit is not in parallel to the mains, the value "0000" is dis-
played.
• Instead of the display "Mains voltage" the display "M-decoupl:0000kV" occurs (the displayed voltage is the
voltage measured through the terminals 50/51/52).
• Mains voltage:
The GCP mains voltage measuring inputs (terminals 50/51/52) must be connected to the busbar together with
the busbar voltage inputs (terminals 23/24).
• The "Enable MCB" input (terminal 53) has no function in the LS 4 mode. If this discrete input is set a mains
settling time is displayed.
• The "Reply MCB" input (terminal 54) has no function in the LS 4 mode.
• To evaluate and carry out an emergency power operation (i.e. AMF) in the GCP a missing mains voltage
message will be issued from the LS 4 to the GCP.
• Emergency power operation is evaluated by the LS 4. Precondition for this is a mains failure or no connection
of the generator busbar with the mains. This means that the GCP control unit performs emergency operation
if mains voltage is present, but the mains circuit breaker or a possibly existing disconnector is open.
• The voltage connected to the mains measuring inputs (terminals 50/51/52), is only used for mains disconnec-
tion in mains parallel operation.

Control Functions
≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡
Synchronizing Functions
Function: "Synchronization"
The control unit calculates internally the electrical angle of advance to issue the circuit breaker closure command.
The corresponding lead-time remains constant due to the inherent delay of the breaker regardless of the frequen-
cy differential of the two systems. If the voltage and frequency differential of the two systems are within per-
missible limits, the breaker closure command may be issued under the following conditions:

• The momentary voltage effective values of the two systems must each be greater than 75 % and less than
112.5 % of the configured set point voltage. (With activation of the voltage protection these values apply as
valid; Parameter 57 and Parameter 63)
• The set point for the maximum permissible differential voltage between the two systems is not exceeded
(Parameter 34).
• The set point for the maximum permissible differential frequency between the two systems is not exceeded
(Parameter 32 and Parameter 33).
• The electrical angle between two equal phases must be less than the permissible phase-displacement angle
(slip-dependent) set point (Parameter 35).

Synchronizing Functions
Parameter 31
Synchronizing functions ON/OFF
Synchronizing
functions ON ON................ The synchronization functions are enabled, and the following screens
of this function are displayed.
OFF.............. The synchronization functions are disabled, and the subsequent
screens of this function are not indicated.
Parameter 32
Max. admissible positive differential frequency 0.02 to 0.49 Hz
Synchronization
df max 0.00Hz The prerequisite for the issuing of a close CB command is that the differential fre-
quency is lower than the configured positive limit. This value indicates the upper
limit frequency (positive value corresponding to positive slip Æ frequency) of the
variable system is greater than the frequency of the fixed system during synchroni-
zation of the CB.
Parameter 33
Max. admissible negative differential frequency 0.00 to -0.49 Hz
Synchronization
df min -0.00Hz The prerequisite for the issuing of a close CB command is that the differential fre-
quency has fallen below the configured negative limit. This value indicates the
lower frequency (a negative value represents negative slip) of the variable system
lower than the frequency of the fixed system during synchronization of the CB.

Manual 37105C LS 4 - Circuit Breaker Control

Parameter 34
Max. admissible differential voltage 0.1 to 15.0 %
Synchronization
dV max 00.0% The set percentage refers to the configured secondary voltage. To ensure that a
connect command will be issued, the actual value must fall below the entered diffe-
rential voltage percentage.
Parameter 35
Optimum slip +/-0.04 to +/-0.50 %
Synchronization
s opt 0.00% This value allows for adjustment of the synchronization frequency in relationship
to the system being synchronized with. It is possible to set slip in the positive and
negative directions. The LS 4 transfers this difference as a set point value to the
GCP. The GCP then controls the frequency according to the value set in this
screen.
Parameter 36
Pulse duration for switching 50 to 250 ms
Synchronization
Time pulse>000ms The duration of the breaker closure command is defined by this parameter. The
length of the pulse can be adjusted to the requirements of the individual breaker.
The configured value defines the minimum on time of the pulse.
Parameter 37
Switcher time delay circuit breaker 40 to 300 ms
Synchronization
Closing t. 000ms The inherent switching time of the power circuit breaker corresponds to the lead-
time of the close CB order. This set point is the amount of time that the close CB
command is issued prior to the generator reaching the synchronous time, irrespec-
tive of the differential frequency.

Phase Angle Deviation (Phase Shift)

WARNING
Ensure the following parameters are configured correctly to prevent erroneous synchronization set-
tings. Incorrect wiring of the system cannot be compensated for with this parameter!

Parameter 38
Phase angle deviation -180 to 0 to +180 °
Synchronization
Phase diff.±000° This parameter compensates for phase angle deviations, which can be caused by
transformers (i.e. a delta to wye transformer) located within the electrical system.
Ensure the following parameters are configured correctly to prevent erroneous syn-
chronization settings. Incorrect wiring of the system cannot be compensated for
with this parameter!

Please act as follows: If a transformer is not located between systems [A] and [B]
or if the transformer has a vector group without a phase angle deviation, then a
phase angle deviation of 0° should be configured in this parameter.

a) Interconnection of the mains voltage possible

With a phase angle deviation of 0° and the generator not running and the mains energized, close the GCB. This
will result in system [A] and system [B] being at the same voltage potential. The phase angle deviation will now
be displayed on the LS 4 screen (synchronization angle phi). Enter the displayed value into this parameter.

CAUTION
The correct setting must be validated in every control unit with a differential voltage measurement (see
chapter "Commissioning")!

b) Interconnection of the mains voltage not possible

but the vector group of the transformer is known

The vector group of the transformer is known and states the phase angle deviation in multiplies of 30°. Out of the
vector group the phase angle deviation can be calculated as an angle from 0° to 360°. For this value the voltage
of the low voltage side is behind the voltage of the high voltage side Ö phase angle deviation α! When cal-
culating the resulting value, the low voltage side of the transformer always lags behind the high voltage
side (phase angle deviation α).

The phase difference is to be calculated as follows:

High voltage side = System [A] High voltage side = System [B]
α < 180 ° α -α
α > 180 ° -360 ° + α 360 ° - α

Dead Bus Start Functions

Function: "Dead bus start"
Closing the circuit breaker may be performed even if synchronization voltage is not present. The close CB com-
mand is issued while taking into account that input "Enable CB" (terminal 31) is connected and input "Reply: CB
is closed" (terminal 32) signals an open circuit breaker (reference Figure 3-1: Wiring diagram)

CAUTION
The measuring voltages are normally protected. A blown fuse may lead to the unit executing a dead
bus start. In this case the unit would, among other things, switch to an asynchronous voltage, which
can lead to substantial damage to the system. Therefore, the release of the dead bus start function
must be locked via external safety measures if a blown fuse is detected (Removal of the "Enable CB"
signal).

Parameter 43

Monitoring Type Configuration

NOTE
Parameter 56 does not appear if a "Phase to phase" measurement (Parameter 6) has been configured
in the configuration screen "Volt. measuring".

Parameter 56
Monitoring for ... Phase to phase / Phase-neutral
Volt.-monitoring
---------------- The unit can monitor either the phase-neutral voltages (four-wire wye system) or
the phase-to-phase voltages (three-wire delta system). Typically, the phase-neutral
voltages are monitored in the low voltage system (400 Vac version; parameter text:
(Phase-N)), and the phase-to-phase voltages are monitored in the mid-tap voltage
system (100 Vac version; parameter text: (ph-ph)). A monitoring of phase-to-
phase voltage is primarily utilized if a triggering of the voltage watchdog for a
ground fault condition is not desired in an isolated or compensated system.
Parameter 6 "Volt. measuring" must be configured "Phase to phase" to obtain
this effect. The settings of this parameter have the following effect on the configu-
ration screens:

Phase-neutral The voltage on terminals 1 through 4 is measured as a four-wire

wye system and all subsequent screens regarding voltage monitoring
are related to the phase-neutral voltage (VAL-N). In the configuration
screens, this is indicated by the supplement "(Phase-N)".
Phase to phase If the voltage system connected to terminal 1 through 4 is a three-
wire delta system, this setting must be chosen. The measurement
screen and all subsequent screens regarding voltage monitoring are
related to the phase-to-phase voltage (VAL-L). In the configuration
screens, this is indicated by the supplement "(ph-ph)".

the fault condition to be recognized as no longer existing.
Example: If a 60 Hz system has an overfrequency limit of 70 Hz and a hysteresis of
5 Hz, the monitored frequency for an overfrequency alarm must fall below 65 Hz
to reset the alarm.

Underfrequency Monitoring
The frequency monitoring is performed on two levels. The frequency measuring is monitored three-phase if all
voltages are greater than 15 % of the rated value (100 V or 400 V). This ensures quick and precise measurement
of the frequency. The frequency is still monitored correctly even if voltage is only applied to one phase.

Function "Frequency not within permissible limits"

The monitored frequency is not within the configured permissible limits for underfrequency. The alarm message
"Und.freq.1" or "Und.freq.2" will be displayed. This message can be suppressed with the discrete input
"Blocking of protective functions / remote acknowledgement".

Delay 00.00s In order to initiate an underfrequency (level 1) alarm, the measured frequency must
fall below and remain below the configured threshold (Parameter 82) without inter-
ruption for at least the period of time specified in this screen.
Parameter 84
Hysteresis for underfrequency monitoring 0.01 to 9.99 Hz
Underfrequency
Hysteres. 0.00Hz In order to prevent system fluctuations from continually initiating underfrequency
alarms (both levels; Parameter 80and Parameter 82), a higher release point is de-
fined here. If the control monitors the frequency below the permissible limit, the
frequency must rise above that threshold and the frequency level defined here for
the fault condition to be recognized as no longer existing.
Example: If a 60 Hz system has an underfrequency limit of 50 Hz and a hysteresis
of 5 Hz, the monitored frequency for an underfrequency alarm must rise above
55 Hz to reset the alarm.

Phase/Vector Shift Monitoring

A vector/phase shift is defined as the sudden variation of the voltage curve which may be caused by a major ge-
nerator load change. The control unit measuring circuit detects the change in the cycle duration. This change in
the cycle duration is compared with a mean value calculated from previous measurements. The monitoring may
be carried out three-phased or one/three-phased. The threshold in degrees indicates the time difference between
the mean value and the instantaneous value, referring to the duration of a full cycle. The monitoring can be con-
figured in different ways. The vector/phase shift monitor can also be used as an additional method to decouple
from the mains. Vector/phase shift monitoring is only enabled after the monitored voltage exceeds 70% of the PT
secondary rated voltage.

Function: "Cycle duration of the voltage not within permissible limits"

The voltage cycle duration is not within the configured vector/phase shift limits. The alarm message "Ph.
shift" appears. This message can be suppressed with the discrete input "Blocking of protective functions / re-
mote acknowledgement".
Parameter 85

df/dt (ROCOF) Monitoring

Function: "Rate Of Change Of Frequency (ROCOF) is not within permissible limits"
Rate of Change Of Frequency (ROCOF) monitoring measures the stability of the frequency. The frequency of a
generator will vary due to changing loads and compensation of the fuel system. The rate of these frequency
changes due to the load variances is relatively high compared to those of a large network. The control unit calcu-
lates the unit of measure per unit of time. The df/dt is measured over 4 sine waves to ensure that it is differen-
tiated from a phase shift. This results in a response time of approximately 100ms. This message can be sup-
pressed with the discrete input "Blocking of protective functions / remote acknowledgement".

to relay 0000 Each digit in this parameter is used to assign one relay to a protective function. Up
to four relay outputs may be assigned to a protective function. The control may be
configured as follows:
0.................... If the protective function is not assigned to a relay, a "0" must be
configured in the display. None of the relay outputs will energize/de-
energize when the corresponding protective function trips if all four
relay assignments are configured with a "0". A message for the pro-
tective function will still be visible in the unit display.
1-7 ................ Relays 1 through 7 are available for assignment to protective func-
tion on all units.
Example ...... An LS 4 has a protective function that is required to output a signal
to relays 2,4, and 7. That protective function relay assignment should
be configured as 2470. The sequence of the numbers has no signific-
ance in the functionality or operations.

A relay output may be assigned to more than one protective function. This will
cause to relay to issue a signal when any of the configured protective functions trip.
If a relay should only issue a signal when a specific protective function trips, then
the relay must not be assigned to any other protective function.

CAN Bus Parameter

NOTE
Please note configure IDs must not be duplicated (every ID must be unique in the system). This applies
to all CAN bus coupled units. Base ID’s must be assigned consecutive numbers when configuring unit
addresses.
How to configure transmitting IDs:
All units on the same CAN bus are configured with the same "base ID transmitting" (Parameter 110).
With this setting all types of messages are grouped. (Example: All items are configured with "base ID
transmitting" = 800. Using the different unit numbers (Parameter 108) on the CAN bus the units are
unique; unit number 17: ID = 817; unit number 18: ID = 818, etc.)

Parameter 108
Unit number CAN-Bus 17 to 24
Device number
CAN-Bus 00 The unit number must be entered here for CAN bus. The unit number affects the
calculation of transmission and control ID's.

drate is to be configured to "125 kBaud".
Parameter 110
Base ID transmission 0 to 2.015
Base-ID (send)
0000 The ID, on which the unit transmits its data is calculated from base ID transmission

unit, "0800" must be configured here.
Parameter 111
Base ID control 0 to 2.015
Base-ID (remote)
0000 The ID, on which the unit receives its data is calculated from base ID control + unit

Commissioning

DANGER - HIGH VOLTAGE

When commissioning the unit, please observe all safety rules applying to the handling of live equip-
ment. Ensure that you know how to provide first aid in the event of an uncontrolled release of energy
and that you know where the first-aid kit and the nearest telephone are. Never touch energized compo-
nents or the back of the system:

DANGER TO LIFE

CAUTION
Only a qualified technician may commission unit. The "EMERGENCY-OFF" function must be opera-
tional prior to commissioning of the system, and must not depend on the unit for its operation.

CAUTION
Prior to commissioning ensure that all measuring devices are connected in correct phase sequence.
The connect command for the unit circuit breaker must be disconnected at the unit circuit breaker. The
field rotation must be monitored for proper rotation. Any absence of or incorrect connection of voltage
measuring devices or other signals may lead to malfunctions and damage the unit, the engine, and/or
components connected to the unit!

Commissioning Procedure:

1.) Disable the signal "Command: CB close" (terminal 31).

2.) After wiring the unit and checking whether all voltage-measuring devices are phased correct, apply the
control system voltage (i.e. 12/24 Vdc). The "Operation" LED will illuminate.
3.) After applying the measuring variables, the unit will display the measured values. These values should be
confirmed with a calibrated measuring instrument.
4.) By simultaneous pressing the two touch pad buttons "Digit↑" and "Cursor→" you will enter into the con-
figuration mode. The unit may now be configured according to the application requirements.
5.) After the unit has been configured properly, exit the configuration mode by simultaneous pressing the two
touch pad buttons "Digit↑" and "Cursor→".

CAUTION
Do not proceed to the next step until all previous steps have been accomplished!

Page 72/92 © Woodward

Manual 37105C LS 4 - Circuit Breaker Control

6.) Communication with the LS 4

• You may verify whether all LS 4s detect the status of the circuit breaker, which has been installed cor-
rectly.
• Simulate closing of the circuit breaker by the LS 4 to verify proper configuration of the LS 4. The CB
on" LED" at the LS 4 will illuminate, as soon as the CB is closed.
• The GCP will display the number of units participating in the CAN bus on the "Communicators 00"
screen. Prerequisite: The circuit breakers of all LS 4, which are used as tiebreaker and/or bus couplers,
are closed. If this is not the case, you may only detect the number of users, who are attached to the
opened LS 4 circuit breaker on that part of the CAN bus system to which the GCP are attached, If the
displayed number does not correspond to the actual number of participants, check in the LS 4 the pa-
rameter "Generator at bus bar" and correct this accordingly if necessary.
• Disable the signal "Command: close CB" (terminal 31).
• By the "Mains parallel" LED " in the GCP you may detect if the circuit breaker reply to the LS 4 is de-
tected correctly. If one of the two systems in the LS 4 was configured as mains potential, the "Mains
parallel" LED in the GCP must illuminate accordingly, as soon as the "Reply: CB is open" in the LS 4
is reset (negative logic; at the same time the "CB on" LED of the LS 4 lights up), and the other voltage
system of the LS 4 is connected directly with the GCP.
• If a tiebreaker and/or bus coupler exists in the system, this may be checked by simulation of the circuit
breaker reply. The number of users in the display of the GCP must increase according to the additional
added units. (Example: Before closing the LS 4 (used as tie breaker/bus coupler) there were three
GCPs in the first system and two GCP in the second system. After closing the tie breaker/bus coupler
CB, there are five GCP participating in the CAN bus.
7.) Test of the synchronization
• Disable the signal "Command: CB close" (terminal 31) to the circuit breaker.
• If the parameter "Synchronization" is configured to 3-phase and if the two voltages of the systems A
and B are between 75 % and 112.5 % of the rated voltage (see page 45), the LS 4 outputs a field rota-
tion alarm if it detects that the field rotation is not identical for both systems.
• The voltage of the system [A] must be within the configured limits.
• Apply the signal "Enable CB " to initiate synchronization of the system.
• After applying the signal "Enable CB" the LS 4 transfers the set point values for f and V to the appro-
priate GCP.
• At the moment of the issuing of a connecting pulse the differential voltage between the appropriate
conductors must amount to "zero". This test is to be executed for all three phases, in order to check the
correctness of the rotary field.
• After a successful test the signal "Command: close CB" can be enabled again.
8.) Test of the dead bus start functionality
Prior to checking the dead bus start function output of the signal "Command: close CB" must be disabled.

Interface

Transmission Telegram
≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡
The data of the following table can be handled by a Gateway GW 4 or a PLC and can be transferred to other
busses. An LS 4 is sending the data via circular CAN messages.

The transmitting rate of this communication is 125 kBaud.

The CAN ID, on which the LS 4 is sending, is calculated as follows:

CAN ID = Base ID Transmit + Unit Number

(The unit number is a parameter adjustable on the LS 4, which influences directly the CAN ID on which the unit
sends the visualization message).

A visualization message which is send out of an LS 4 has 8 Bytes and is constructed as follows:

Byte 0 Byte 1 Byte 2 Byte 3 Byte 4 Byte 5 Byte 6 Byte 7

H‘DD MUX num- Data word 1 Data word 1 Data word 2 Data word 2 Data word 3 Data word 3
ber High Byte Low Byte High Byte Low Byte High Byte Low Byte

In a visualization message the byte 0 is always used to show the hexadecimal value DD. This one defines the
message as a visualization message. As the complete transmission telegram of the LS 4 includes more than three
words, byte 1 sends additionally a MUX number starting with 0. Therefore it is theoretically possible to send
(256 × 3 = 768) words via the CAN ID. The whole telegram is built up as follows:

Row 1: MUX number 0, data word 1

Row 2: MUX number 0, data word 2
Row 3: MUX number 0, data word 3
Row 4: MUX number 1, data word 1
Row 5: MUX number 1, data word 2
Row 6: MUX number 1, data word 3
.
.
Row(s): MUX number (n-1/3), data word 1
Row (n+1): MUX number (n-1/2), data word 2
Row (n+2): MUX number (n-1/1), data word 3

n depends on the total length of the item special telegram and cannot be larger than H’FF.
