Introduction
The DGC-2020ES Digital Genset Controller provides integrated engine-genset control, protection, and
metering in a rugged and economical package. Its features set make the DGC-2020ES ideal for
standalone genset applications where paralleling or load sharing is not required. Microprocessor based
technology allows for exact measurement, setpoint adjustment, and timing functions. Front panel controls
and indicators enable quick and simple DGC-2020ES operation. Basler Electric communication software
®
(BESTCOMSPlus ) allows units to be easily customized for each application. Because of the low sensing
burden in the DGC-2020ES, dedicated potential transformers (PTs) are not required. A liquid crystal
display (LCD) with backlighting can be viewed under a wide range of ambient light and temperature
conditions.

Features and Functions

The DGC-2020ES Digital Genset Controller has the following features:
• Generator Control
• Engine and Generator Protection
• Automatic Transfer Switch Control (Mains Failure)
• Automatic Generator Configuration Detection
• Programmable Analog Engine Senders
• Seven Programmable Contact Inputs
• Programmable Logic
• Exercise Timer
• ECU Communications via SAE J1939
• Additional contact input/output module available to expand the capabilities of the DGC-2020ES
DGC-2020ES Digital Genset Controllers perform the following functions:

Generator Protection and Metering

Multifunction generator protection guards against generator overvoltage, undervoltage, reverse power,
loss of excitation, underfrequency, overfrequency, and overcurrent. Each generator protection function
has an adjustable pickup and time delay setting.
Metered generator parameters include voltage, current, real power (watts), apparent power (VA), and
power factor (PF).

Engine Protection and Metering

Engine protection features include oil pressure and coolant temperature monitoring, overcrank protection,
ECU specific protection elements, and diagnostic reporting.
Metered engine parameters include oil pressure, coolant temperature, battery voltage, speed, fuel level,
engine load, coolant level (from ECU), ECU specific parameters, and run-time statistics.

Event Recording
An event log retains a history of system events in nonvolatile memory. Up to 30 event types are retained
and each record contains a time stamp of the first and last occurrence, and the number of occurrences for
each event. For more information, see the Event Recording chapter.

Contact Inputs and Outputs

DGC-2020ES controllers have seven programmable contact inputs. All contact inputs recognize dry
contacts. The programmable inputs can be configured to initiate a pre-alarm or alarm. An input can be
programmed to receive an input from an automatic transfer switch. Inputs can also be programmed to
override DGC-2020ES alarms and protection functions. Each input can be assigned a user-defined name
for easy identification at the front panel display and in fault records.

DGC-2020ES Introduction
2 9469200990 Rev D

Output contacts include three dedicated relays for energizing an engine’s glow plugs, fuel solenoid, and
starter solenoid. Four additional user-programmable output contacts are provided.
Additional contact inputs and output contact requirements can be accommodated with an optional CEM-
2020 (Contact Expansion Module). Contact Basler Electric for ordering information.

Automatic Transfer Switch Control (Mains Failure)

The DGC-2020ES can detect a mains failure via a single- or three-phase bus input. A mains failure is
established when any one of the following conditions are met:
• Any phase of bus voltage falls below dead the bus threshold
• Any phase of bus voltage is unstable due to overvoltage or undervoltage
• Any phase of bus voltage is unstable due to overfrequency or underfrequency
At this time, the DGC-2020ES will start the genset and when ready, apply power to the load via the
genset. The DGC-2020ES implements open transitions to and from the mains. When the mains returns
and is considered stable, the DGC-2020ES will transfer the load back to the mains.

Communication
DGC-2020ES communication features include a standard USB port for local (and temporary)
communication, SAE J1939 interface for remote communication, and RS-485 interface for communication
with an optional Remote Display Panel.

USB Port
The USB communication port can be used with BESTCOMSPlus software to quickly configure a DGC-
2020ES with the desired settings or retrieve metering values and event log records.

CAN Interface
The CAN interface provides high-speed communication between the DGC-2020ES and the engine control
unit (ECU) on an electronically controlled engine. This interface provides access to oil pressure, coolant
temperature, and engine speed data by reading these parameters directly from the ECU. When available,
engine diagnostic data can also be accessed. The CAN interface supports the following protocols:
• SAE J1939 Protocol - Oil pressure, coolant temperature, and engine speed data are received
from the ECU. In addition, DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes) help diagnose any engine or related
failures. The engine DTCs are displayed on the front panel of the DGC-2020ES and may be
obtained using BESTCOMSPlus® software.
• MTU Protocol - A DGC-2020ES connected to a genset equipped with an MTU ECU receives oil
pressure, coolant temperature, and engine speed data from the engine controller, along with
various alarms and pre-alarms that are MTU specific. In addition, the DGC-2020ES tracks and
displays the active fault codes issued by the MTU engine ECU.

Style Number
Standard-order DGC-2020ES controllers are identified by a style number which consists of a combination
of letters and numbers that define the controller’s electrical characteristics and operational features. The
model number, together with the style number, describes the options included in a specific controller.
Figure 1 illustrates the DGC-2020ES style number identification chart.

Optional Features and Capabilities

CEM-2020 (Contact Expansion Module)
The optional CEM-2020 provides 10 additional contact inputs and 18 or 24 additional output contacts
(depending on module type) to the DGC-2020ES. The CEM-2020 communicates with the DGC-2020ES
through a CAN interface. Refer to the CEM-2020 chapter for more information.

Remote Display Panel

The optional Remote Display Panel provides remote indication of many pre-alarm and alarm conditions.
The DGC-2020ES communicates with the Remote Display Panel through an RS-485 interface. Refer to
the Controls and Indicators chapter for more information.

Power Input
Operating power for the DGC-2020ES is typically supplied by the genset starter battery. Power from the
battery is supplied to an internal power supply that provides power for DGC-2020ES logic, protection, and
control functions.

Nominal Voltage Input and Acceptable Range of Input Voltage

A nominal voltage of 12 or 24 Vdc within a range of 6 to 32 Vdc is accepted. Operating power must be of
the correct polarity. Although reverse polarity will not cause damage, the DGC-2020ES will not operate.

Terminal Assignments
Input power is applied to terminals 18 (BATT+), 17 (BATT–), and 16 (CHASSIS).

Power Consumption
The amount of power consumed by the DGC-2020ES varies based on the selected mode. The power
saving Sleep mode consumes 4.5 W with all relays de-energized. The Normal Operational Mode
consumes 6.5 watts in Run mode with the LCD heater off and 3 relays energized. The Maximum
Operational Mode consumes 14 watts in Run mode with the LCD heater on and 7 relays energized.

Battery Ride-Through Capability

Starting at 10 Vdc, withstands cranking ride-through down to 0 Vdc for 50 milliseconds.

Fuse Protection
To follow UL guidelines, a 5 A maximum, 32 Vdc supplementary fuse must be implemented in the battery
input circuit to the DGC-2020ES.

Voltage and Current Sensing

The DGC-2020ES senses generator voltage, generator current, and bus voltage through dedicated,
isolated inputs.

Generator Voltage
The DGC-2020ES accepts either line-to-line or line-to-neutral generator sensing voltage over the range of
12 to 576 volts, rms line-to-line. Single-phase generator voltage is sensed across phases A and B.
Generator voltage sensing terminals are listed in Table 2.
Table 2. Generator Voltage Sensing Terminals
Terminal Description
40 (GEN VN) Neutral generator voltage sensing input
41 (GEN VC) C-phase generator voltage sensing input
43 (GEN VB) B-phase generator voltage sensing input
45 (GEN VA) A-phase generator voltage sensing input

Bus Voltage
Bus sensing over the range of 12 to 576 volts rms line-to-line is accepted by the DGC-2020ES. Sensing
of bus voltage enables the DGC-2020ES to detect failures of the mains (utility). Controllers with style
number xx2 measure bus voltage sensing to perform automatic mains failure transfers. Single-phase bus
voltage is sensed across phases A and B. Bus voltage sensing terminals are listed in Table 3.
Table 3. Bus Voltage Sensing Terminals
Terminal Description
46 (BUS VA) A-phase bus voltage sensing input
48 (BUS VB) B-phase bus voltage sensing input
50 (BUS VC) C-phase bus voltage sensing input

Generator Current
The DGC-2020ES has sensing inputs for A-phase, B-phase, and C-phase generator current. Depending
on the style number, a DGC-2020ES has a nominal sensing current rating of 1 Aac or 5 Aac. A style
number of 1xx indicates 1 Aac nominal current sensing and a style number of 5xx indicates 5 Aac
nominal current sensing. Generator current sensing terminals are listed in Table 4.

Engine Sender Inputs

The DGC-2020ES has sender inputs dedicated to monitoring the engine fuel level, oil pressure, and
coolant temperature. These inputs are programmable to give the user flexibility in selecting the sender to
be used in an application. Information about programming sender inputs is provided later in this chapter.

Connections
Oil pressure sender connections are made at terminals 52 and 2 (sender common). Fuel level sender
connections are made at terminals 1 and 2. Coolant temperature sender connections are made at
terminals 53 and 2.

Compatible Senders
Oil pressure senders that are compatible with the DGC-2020ES include Datcon model 02505-00, Isspro
model R8919, Stewart-Warner models 279BF, 279C, 411K and 411M, and VDO models 360025 and
360811. Compatible Fuel Level senders include the Isspro model R8925. Compatible Coolant
Temperature senders include Datcon model 02019-00, Faria model TS4042, Isspro model, R8959, and
Stewart-Warner model 334P. Other senders may also be used.

Operation
A current is provided to each sender. The developed voltage is measured and scaled for use by the
internal circuitry. An open circuit or short circuit across the sender terminals will cause the DGC-2020ES
to indicate a failed sender.

Sender Programmability
®
BESTCOMSPlus software allows for the programming of sender characteristics. See Sender
Characteristic Curves, below, for more information.

Sender Characteristic Curves

The sender inputs of the DGC-2020ES can be customized to obtain maximum accuracy from the coolant
temperature, oil pressure, and fuel level senders.
The characteristic curve of each sender input can be configured with up to 11 points. Each point can be
assigned a resistance input value and a corresponding temperature (coolant temperature sender),
pressure (oil pressure sender), or percentage (fuel level sender) value. A sender slope setting
automatically orders the values in the resistance column according to whether the sender requires a
negative or positive slope. Sender curve points are automatically plotted on a curve in BESTCOMSPlus,
which can be printed.
Sender curve points configured in BESTCOMSPlus can be saved in the configuration file. The data for all
three senders is automatically saved with the DGC-2020ES configuration file.
Any changes made in BESTCOMSPlus to the sender points, can be reverted to the factory-default
values. A new settings file can also be created.

Curve Configuration
If the DGC-2020ES receives engine information from an ECU, the programmable sender parameters for
coolant temperature and oil pressure do not require configuration because they have no effect.
Configuration of sender parameters is appropriate for resistive senders only.

Sender Failure Detection

The DGC-2020ES can be configured to annunciate a pre-alarm or alarm when a loss of signal is detected
at the coolant temperature, oil pressure, or fuel level sender input. The speed sender fail alarm is always
enabled. A user-adjustable time delay is provided for each sender/sensing alarm/pre-alarm.
Alarm and pre-alarm annunciations for loss of engine speed signals are not user-programmable and
operate as follows. If the MPU (magnetic pickup) or generator frequency is programmed as the sole
engine speed source and that signal source fails, an alarm (and shutdown) is triggered. If the engine
speed source is configured as MPU and generator frequency and a loss of one of the signal sources
occurs, a pre-alarm is annunciated. An alarm (and shutdown) is triggered if both speed signals are lost.
The BESTCOMSPlus Sender Fail screen is illustrated in Figure 11 and is found in the Settings Explorer
under Alarm Configuration. If using the front panel, navigate to Settings > Alarm Configuration > Sender
Fail.

Speed Signal Inputs

The DGC-2020ES uses signals from the generator voltage sensing inputs and magnetic pickup (MPU)
input to detect machine speed.

Magnetic Pickup
Voltage supplied by a magnetic pickup is scaled and conditioned for use by the internal circuitry as a
speed signal source. The MPU input accepts a signal over the range of 3 to 35 volts peak and 32 to
10,000 hertz.

Terminals
Magnetic pickup connections are provided at terminals 31 (+) and 32 (–).

Generator Sensing Voltage

The generator voltage sensed by the DGC-2020ES is used to measure frequency and can be used to
measure machine speed.

Terminals
Sensing voltage is applied to terminals 45 (A-phase), 43 (B-phase).

Contact Inputs
Contact inputs are available to initiate DGC-2020ES actions. The DGC-2020ES has seven programmable
contact sensing inputs. Additional contact inputs can be accommodated with an optional CEM-2020
(Contact Expansion Module). Contact Basler Electric for availability and ordering information.

Programmable
Each programmable input (Input 1 through Input 7) can be independently configured to perform the
following functions. By default, each programmable input is disabled.
• Auto Transfer Switch
• Battery Charger Fail
• Battle Override
• Emergency Stop
• Fuel Leak Detect
• Grounded Delta Override
• Low Coolant Level
• Low Fuel Level
• Low Line Override
• Single-Phase Override
The programmable inputs accept dry contacts. A contact is connected between a programmable input
®
and the negative side of the battery. Through BESTCOMSPlus , each programmable contact input can be
assigned a name (16 alphanumeric characters, maximum) and configured as an alarm input, a pre-alarm
input, or none. The default names for the inputs are INPUT_x (where x = 1 to 7). When a programmable
contact input is closed, the front panel display shows the name of the closed input if it was programmed
as an alarm or pre-alarm input. Alarm inputs are annunciated through the Normal display mode screens
of the front panel. Pre-alarm inputs are annunciated through the pre-alarm metering screen of the front
panel. If neither alarm nor pre-alarm is programmed, no indication is given. Programming an input as
None is useful when a programmable input is used as an input to programmable logic.
Connections for the programmable inputs are provided at terminals 3 (Input 1) through 9 (Input 7). The
negative side of the battery voltage (terminal 17) serves as the return connection for the programmable
inputs.

Contact Input Configuration

Figure 12 illustrates the Contact Inputs screen found in the BESTCOMSPlus Settings Explorer under the
Programmable Inputs category. If using the front panel, navigate to Settings > Programmable Inputs >
Configurable Inputs.
For each contact input, configure the following parameters:
1. Alarm Configuration - Select None, Alarm, or Pre-Alarm. When an alarm occurs, the horn output
closes and the engine shuts down. When a pre-alarm occurs, the horn output toggles between open
and closed while the engine remains running. If None is selected, the input is status only. The status
is available to BESTlogic™Plus Programmable Logic regardless of Alarm Configuration setting.
2. Activation Delay - This parameter defines the duration that the input remains on before any
annunciation occurs.
3. Label Text - Enter descriptive text that signifies the use of the input. This text appears next to the
input in BESTlogic™Plus Programmable Logic and in the event log if the input is configured as an
alarm or pre-alarm.
4. Contact Recognition - Select whether the contact input should be recognized always, or only while
the engine is running. For example, a switch closes when oil pressure is low. Such a switch would be
closed when the engine is not running but a low oil pressure alarm or pre-alarm should not be

DGC-2020ES Contact Inputs

40 9469200990 Rev D

annunciated unless the switch is closed while the engine is running. A selection of While Engine
Running Only prevents spurious annunciation when the engine is not running.

Figure 12. Settings Explorer, Programmable Inputs, Contact Inputs Screen

Programmable Functions
Any of the seven contact inputs can be programmed to recognize any one of 10 function types:
• Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) - Start and run the generator while the ATS input is true and the
DGC-2020ES is in Auto mode.
• Grounded Delta Override - Uses Grounded Delta sensing if the generator connection is set for
Delta.
• Battle Override - The alarms programmed to shut down the unit will be overridden and ignored.
• Low-Line Override - The 51, 27, and 59 settings are scaled by the low-line scale factor setting.
• Single-Phase Override - The unit switches to single-phase sensing configuration and uses the 1
Phase Override Sensing setting (A-B or A-C).
• Emergency Stop - Opens the Start, Run, and Fuel output relays and an ESTOP alarm is
annunciated.
• Battery Charger Fail - When the selected input is invoked, a user selectable pre-alarm or alarm is
annunciated after the activation delay.
• Low Coolant Level - When the selected input is invoked, a Low Coolant Level pre-alarm or alarm
is annunciated after the activation delay.
• Low Fuel Level - When the selected input is invoked, a Low Fuel Level pre-alarm or alarm is
annunciated after the activation delay.
• Fuel Leak Detect - When the selected input is invoked, a Fuel Leak pre-alarm or alarm is
annunciated after the activation delay.
An Alarm Configuration setting of “None” prevents a function from being triggered by a contact input.
Programmable function status is available in BESTlogic™Plus Programmable Logic when the “None”
alarm configuration setting is selected.

9469200990 Rev D 43

Contact Outputs
Output contact operation is controlled by the operating mode of the DGC-2020ES. The state of the
Emergency Stop contact input also affects output contact operation. When the Emergency Stop contact
input is open (emergency stop condition), the PRESTART, START, and RUN outputs open and an
emergency stop alarm is annunciated. When the Emergency Stop input is closed, all output contacts
operate normally.
DGC-2020ES output contacts include PRESTART, START, RUN, and four programmable outputs.
Additional output contacts can be accommodated with an optional CEM-2020 (Contact Expansion
Module).

Prestart
This output closes to energize the engine glow plugs or run pre-lubrication pumps. The PRESTART
output can be programmed to close up to 30 seconds prior to engine cranking. The PRESTART output
can also be programmed to open upon engine startup or remain closed as long as the engine is
operating.
During the resting state, the PRESTART output can be set to Off, On, or Preheat Before Crank. If Preheat
Before Crank is selected, the PRESTART output will be closed for a time equal to the Pre-crank delay
time prior to re-entering the cranking state. If the Pre-crank delay setting is longer than the rest interval,
the PRESTART output will be closed for the entire rest time.
PRESTART output connections are made through terminals located on the PRESTART relay.

Start
This output closes when engine cranking is initiated by the DGC-2020ES and opens when the magnetic
pickup (MPU) or generator frequency indicates that the engine has started. Prior to engine starting, the
duration of cranking is determined by the cranking style (cycle or continuous) selected. Cycle cranking
permits up to seven crank cycles with crank cycle duration of 5 to 15 seconds. The continuous crank time
is adjustable from 5 to 60 seconds.
START output connections are made through terminals located on the START relay.

Run
This output closes when engine cranking is initiated by the DGC-2020ES. The RUN output remains
closed until it receives a command to stop the engine.
RUN output connections are made through terminals located on the RUN relay.

Relay Control
In some applications, it may be beneficial to modify the standard operation of the DGC-2020ES Run, Pre-
Start, or Start relays. If desired, these relays can be configured to operate outside their predefined
functionality. For example, if your genset does not require starting assistance from glow plugs, the Pre-
Start relay may be assigned for another purpose. Configuring these relays as programmable makes them
available in BESTlogic™Plus programmable logic to be used in the same manner as the other
programmable relay outputs. Predefined or programmable operation of the Run, Pre-Start, and Start
relays is selected on the Relay Control screen (Figure 14). See the BESTlogicPlus chapter for more
information about DGC-2020ES programmable logic.
®
The Relay Control screen is found in the BESTCOMSPlus Settings Explorer under the System
Parameters category. If using the front panel, navigate to Settings > System Parameters > Relay Control.

Figure 14. Settings Explorer, System Parameters, Relay Control Screen

For each relay (Start, Run, and Pre-Start), select whether it should use its predefined functionality or be
made programmable.
When Programmable is selected for a relay, it becomes available to BESTlogicPlus Programmable Logic
as a logic element. The elements are titled Start Output, Prestart Out, and Run Output. The predefined
functionality is available as an input to the logic. If Programmable is selected as the relay control mode,
connecting the corresponding predefined input function to the relay causes it to function as if Predefined
were selected as its relay control type. However, other logic can be combined with it to create operation
that is more versatile. If Programmable is selected for a relay, but it is not used in the logic, that relay will
never close.
An example logic scheme connecting the predefined inputs directly to the “programmable” relay outputs
for all three relays is shown in Figure 15.

Figure 15. Example Logic Scheme of Programmable Relays

Programmable
DGC-2020ES controllers have four programmable output contacts (OUT 1 through 4). An additional 24
contact outputs are provided with an optional CEM-2020 (Contact Expansion Module). An optional CEM-
2020H (Contact Expansion Module - High Current) provides 18 contact outputs.

Programmable Output Configuration

Figure 16 illustrates the Contact Outputs screen found in the BESTCOMSPlus Settings Explorer under
the Programmable Outputs category. If using the front panel, navigate to Settings > Programmable
Outputs > Contact Outputs.
Each output can be programmed with a text label describing its use. This label appears in BESTlogicPlus
Programmable Logic where the output is used to aid in program clarity and ease of programming.

Contact Outputs DGC-2020ES

Configurable Elements
Configurable elements are connected to the logic scheme as outputs. The configurable elements are
incorporated into a BESTlogicPlus programmable logic scheme by selecting them from the Elements
group in BESTlogicPlus. For more details, refer to the BESTlogicPlus chapter. Each of the eight elements
can be independently configured to annunciate an alarm or pre-alarm. A user-adjustable time delay can
be set to delay recognition of an element. By default, all elements are configured so that they do not
trigger an alarm or pre-alarm. To make identifying an element easier, each of the elements can be given a
user-assigned name. If used for an alarm or pre-alarm, the user-assigned name appears in the alarm or
pre-alarm annunciation and in the DGC-2020ES event log. Elements can be recognized always or only
while the engine is running. Configurable element status is available in BESTlogicPlus Programmable
Logic when “None” is selected for Alarm Configuration. Configurable element status can be used as logic
inputs to drive other logic in the program, similar to logic control relays.
The BESTCOMSPlus Configurable Elements screen is illustrated in Figure 17 and found in the Settings
Explorer under the Programmable Outputs category. If using the front panel, navigate to Settings >
Programmable Outputs > Configurable Elements.

Operating Modes
Three operating modes provide the versatility to meet the application’s needs. The DGC-2020ES
operates in Off, Run, or Auto mode. These operating modes are described in the following paragraphs.

Off
In OFF mode, the DGC-2020ES will not start under any circumstance. It cannot be started automatically.
Programmable logic functions normally in this mode.

Run
In RUN (manual) mode, the DGC-2020ES runs and cannot be shut off automatically. The breaker can be
opened or closed through programmable logic inputs. Programmable logic functions normally in this
mode.

Auto
In AUTO mode, the DGC-2020ES may be started automatically or “self-start” from an automatic starting
feature described in the following paragraphs. If the DGC-2020ES is not in AUTO mode, the self-starting
modes will have no effect. The self-starting modes are independent, meaning that if any self-starting
mode indicates that the unit should run, it will run. It will not shut down unless all self-starting modes
indicate that the unit should not be running.

ATS Contact Input

The ATS (automatic transfer switch) programmable function has an input mapped to it through
BESTCOMSPlus®. The unit will start and run when this contact is closed, and will stop when the contact
is open.

Generator Exerciser
The unit starts at the designated time and runs for the specified duration. The breaker will be closed if
“Run with Load” is checked in the generator exerciser settings.

Mains Fail Transfer Functionality

If mains fail transfer is enabled, the unit runs when any phase of the utility is dead or unstable, and will not
stop until all phases of the utility are stable and the load has been transitioned to the utility.

Run-with-Load Logic Element

When the run-with-load logic element start input is energized, the unit starts and closes its breaker. When
the run-with-load logic element stop input is energized, the unit opens its breaker and stops.

Engine Run Logic Element

When the engine run logic element start input is energized, the unit starts. When the engine run logic
element stop input is energized, the unit opens its breaker if needed, cools down, and then stops.

Operating Mode Control

Controls for selecting operating mode are located on the front panel and within BESTCOMSPlus.
Refer to the Controls and Indicators chapter for more information.

Breaker Management
The DGC-2020ES is capable of controlling the generator breaker and the mains breaker. Once it is
determined that a valid breaker request is available, the DGC-2020ES will attempt to operate the breaker
if possible. The user can choose to control only the generator breaker, the generator and mains breakers,
®
or none. BESTCOMSPlus is used to configure breaker management. Refer to the BESTCOMSPlus
chapter for setting information.

Breaker Status
The status of the breakers is determined by using BESTlogic™Plus programmable logic and sent to the
GENBRK and MAINSBRK logic blocks. These logic blocks have outputs that can be configured to
energize an output contact and control a breaker as well as inputs for breaker control and status. See
Breaker Configuration, below, for details on configuring the logic.

Breaker Operation
The DGC-2020ES will attempt to close a breaker only after verifying that it can be closed. If the breaker
cannot be closed, the close request will be ignored. Only one breaker can be closed at a time. Closure to
a dead bus can be performed after meeting dead bus threshold and timing requirements set by the user.

Breaker Operation Requests

Types of breaker operation requests include:
• Local Request - initiated by internal functions and based on operating modes.
• Com Request - initiated through a communication port using BESTCOMSPlus or the front panel.
• Logic Request - initiated from BESTlogicPlus.
The type of response given for a local request depends on the operating mode of the DGC-2020ES.

RUN Mode
When in RUN mode, the generator and mains breakers can be closed manually using contact inputs or
the breaker operation settings on the BESTCOMSPlus Control screen.

OFF or AUTO Mode (Not Running)

If operating in the OFF mode or AUTO and not running, the generator breaker can be closed if the bus is
determined to be dead.

AUTO Mode (Running)

When in AUTO mode and running, the mains fail transfer feature will automatically control the mains
breaker and the generator breaker. Or, the external ATS (automatic transfer switch) will start the
generator and control the breakers itself. In addition, the generator breaker can be automatically
controlled by the exercise timer function or a RUNWLOAD (run with load) start through BESTlogicPlus.
The generator breaker can be manually controlled using contact inputs and outputs or the breaker
operation settings on the BESTCOMSPlus Control screen.

Breaker Closure Conditions

The conditions under which the DGC-2020ES will close a breaker are described in the following
paragraphs.

Breaker Status and Voltage Stability

Before the generator breaker can be closed, it must be configured in BESTCOMSPlus. If only the
generator breaker is configured (mains breaker not configured) the DGC-2020ES reads user settings to
determine if the generator side of the breaker is stable or dead and the bus side is dead. If both the

DGC-2020ES Breaker Management

50 9469200990 Rev D

generator and the mains breakers are configured and open, the DGC-2020ES closes the generator
breaker if the generator side of the breaker is stable or dead. If both breakers are configured and the
mains breaker is closed, the DGC-2020ES will not close the generator breaker.
Before the mains breaker can be closed, it must be configured in BESTCOMSPlus. If both the mains and
the generator breakers are configured and open, the DGC-2020ES will close the mains breaker if the
mains side of the breaker is stable. If both breakers are configured and the generator breaker is closed,
the DGC-2020ES will not close the mains breaker.

Command Agreement
A breaker will not change state if it receives conflicting commands. In other words, if an input is indicating
an open command at the same time another input is indicating a close command, the breaker will not
change state.

Breaker Configuration
The following paragraphs describe how to properly configure a DGC-2020ES for generator breaker
control.

Initial System Setup

Connect the DGC-2020ES according to the appropriate figure in the Typical Connections chapter for the
type of generator connection desired (wye, delta, etc.).
Set up the basic system parameters that will govern engine operation and alarm and pre-alarm
annunciation. Details can be found in the Configuration chapter.

Breaker Hardware
Configure the generator breaker parameters on the BESTCOMSPlus Settings Explorer, Breaker
Management, Breaker Hardware screen. If using the front panel, navigate to Settings > Breaker
Management > Breaker Hardware. Figure 18 illustrates the BESTCOMSPlus Breaker Hardware screen.
1. Mains Fail: When two breakers are configured (enabled), the DGC-2020ES can be enabled to
automatically transfer load power from the mains to the genset during a mains failure. This feature
also enables the DGC-2020ES to transfer the load back to the mains once mains power is restored.
Settings include a transfer delay, return delay, max transfer time, and max return time.
a. When enabled, Reverse Rotation Inhibit prevents automatic load transfer due to a mains
failure when the machine is determined to have reverse phase rotation.
b. If the in-phase monitor is enabled and the Mains Fail Return Delay time has expired, the
generator waits until it detects that the phases are aligned between the generator and the
mains before performing the open transition from the generator back to the utility.
2. Breaker Close Wait Time: This is a time interval in which it is expected that the breaker will transition
from open to closed or closed to open. If the generator breaker does not change state within that
time, either a Gen Breaker Close Fail alarm or Gen Breaker Open Fail alarm is annunciated. If the
mains breaker does not change state within that time, either a Mains Breaker Close Fail alarm or
Mains Breaker Open Fail alarm is annunciated.
3. Generator Breaker
a. Set the Contact Type and Open/Close Pulse Times if pulsed contacts are used.
b. Set the Breaker Closing Time.
4. Mains Breaker
a. Set the Mains Breaker as Configured if it is used, otherwise do not configure these settings.
b. If the mains breaker is configured, set the contact type and pulse times if pulsed contacts are
used.
c. If the mains breaker is configured, set the breaker close time.

a. Dead Bus Voltage Threshold and Activation Delay. When the generator voltage is below
this threshold for the duration of the activation delay, the generator is deemed “Dead”.
b. Gen Stable Overvoltage and Undervoltage thresholds and Overfrequency and
Underfrequency thresholds and the Bus Stable and Bus Failed Activation Delay times.
When the generator voltage frequency is within the specified range for the duration of the
Bus Stable Activation Delay, the generator is deemed “Stable”. Otherwise, it is deemed
“Failed”.
2. Bus Sensing
a. Dead Bus Voltage Threshold and Activation Delay. When the voltage of the bus is below
this threshold for the duration of the activation delay, the bus is deemed “Dead”.
b. Bus Stable Overvoltage and Undervoltage thresholds and Overfrequency and
Underfrequency thresholds and the Bus Stable and Bus Failed Activation Delay times.
When the bus voltage and frequencies are within the specified ranges for the duration of
the Bus Stable Activation Delay, the bus is deemed “Stable”. Otherwise, it is deemed
“Failed”.

Caution

The bus condition parameters are critical because they determine

when a breaker can be closed. The generator breaker can be closed
when any one of the following is true:
• The generator is stable, the bus is dead, and both breakers are
open.
• The generator is dead, the bus is dead, and both breakers are
open.
The mains breaker can be closed only when the bus is stable and both
breakers are open.

Place the unit in AUTO. The unit is now configured for generator breaker control. It can be tested by
driving the RUN WITH LOAD logic element true, setting up the exercise timer for a loaded test, or by
starting the unit in RUN or AUTO mode and giving it CLOSE and OPEN commands from the physical
inputs if they are available for breaker control.
Refer to the Maintenance and Troubleshooting chapter if the breaker does not seem to operate properly.

Generator Protection
DGC-2020ES controllers offer standard protection consisting of undervoltage (27), overvoltage (59),
overcurrent (50), overfrequency (81O), underfrequency (81U), and phase-imbalance voltage (47)
elements.
The description of generator protection is organized as follows:
• Voltage (27, 59, 47)
• Frequency (81)
• Overcurrent (50)

Voltage
Voltage protection consists of an undervoltage element, an overvoltage element, and a phase-sequence
voltage element.

Undervoltage (27)
Two sets of undervoltage settings are provided for this element: one for three-phase generator
connections and one for single-phase generator connections. The pickup setting entered is based on the
PT secondary side. When a single-phase override contact input is received, the DGC-2020ES
automatically switches from the three-phase undervoltage settings to the single-phase undervoltage
settings.
An undervoltage condition is annunciated when the average of the three-phase (three-phase mode) or
the line-to-line voltage (single-phase mode) decreases below the corresponding 27 pickup setting for the
duration of the corresponding 27 activation delay. An undervoltage annunciation can be user-selected to
trigger a pre-alarm (warning) or alarm (shutdown). An undervoltage annunciation can also be user-
configured to close a programmable output.
The hysteresis setting functions as an undervoltage dropout by preventing rapid switching of the pickup
output.
A frequency-based inhibit setting prevents a 27 trip from occurring during an undervoltage condition
associated with system startup.
A low-line scale factor setting is used to automatically adjust the undervoltage pickup settings in
applications that may utilize more than one type of genset connection. The scale factor setting is
implemented when the DGC-2020ES senses a contact closure at a contact input programmed to activate
low-line override. This triggers scaling of the protection settings. The value of the scale factor setting
serves as a multiplier for the pickup settings. For example, if a scale factor contact input is received by the
DGC-2020ES and the scale factor setting is 2.000, the pickup setting will be doubled (2.000 × PU).
The element is disabled when Alarm Configuration is set to “None”. Element status is available in
BESTlogic™Plus Programmable Logic when “Status Only” is selected.
Settings which are related to machine ratings can be set in either actual units of voltage or in per unit
®
values. When a native unit is edited, BESTCOMSPlus automatically recalculates the per unit value
based on the native unit setting and the rated data parameter (on the System Parameters, Rated Data
screen) associated with it. When a per unit value is edited, BESTCOMSPlus automatically recalculates
the native value based on the per unit setting and the rated data parameter associated with it.
Once all per unit values are assigned, if the rated data parameters are changed, BESTCOMSPlus
automatically recalculates all native unit settings based on the modified rated data parameters.
The following settings have native units of Secondary Volts, and the rated data associated with them is
Rated Secondary Volts (on the System Parameters, Rated Data screen).

Undervoltage. The BESTCOMSPlus Undervoltage screen is illustrated in Figure 21.

Figure 21. Settings Explorer, Generator Protection, Voltage, Undervoltage (27) Screen

Overvoltage (59)
Two sets of overvoltage settings are provided for this element: one for three-phase generator connections
and one for single-phase generator connections. The pickup setting entered is based on the PT
secondary side (DGC-2020ES). When a single-phase override contact input is received, the DGC-
2020ES automatically switches from the three-phase overvoltage settings to the single-phase overvoltage
settings.
An overvoltage condition is annunciated when the average of the three-phase (three-phase mode) or the
line-to-line voltage (single-phase mode) increases above the corresponding 59 pickup setting for the
duration of the corresponding 59 activation delay. An overvoltage annunciation can be user-selected to
trigger a pre-alarm (warning) or alarm (shutdown). An overvoltage annunciation can also be user-
configured to close a programmable output.
The hysteresis setting functions as an undervoltage dropout by preventing rapid switching of the pickup
output.
A low-line scale factor setting is used to automatically adjust the overvoltage pickup settings in
applications that may utilize more than one type of genset connection. The scale factor setting is
implemented when the DGC-2020ES senses a contact closure at a contact input programmed to activate
low-line override. This triggers scaling of the protection settings. The value of the scale factor setting
serves as a multiplier for the pickup settings. For example, if a scale factor contact input is received by the
DGC-2020ES and the scale factor setting is 2.000, the pickup setting will be doubled (2.000 × PU).
The element is disabled when Alarm Configuration is set to “None”. Element status is available in
BESTlogicPlus Programmable Logic when “Status Only” is selected.
Settings which are related to machine ratings can be set in either actual units of voltage or in per unit
values. When a native unit is edited, BESTCOMSPlus automatically recalculates the per unit value based
on the native unit setting and the rated data parameter (on the System Parameters, Rated Data screen)
associated with it. When a per unit value is edited, BESTCOMSPlus automatically recalculates the native
value based on the per unit setting and the rated data parameter associated with it.
Once all per unit values are assigned, if the rated data parameters are changed, BESTCOMSPlus
automatically recalculates all native unit settings based on the modified rated data parameters.
The following settings have native units of Secondary Volts, and the rated data associated with them is
Rated Secondary Volts (on the System Parameters, Rated Data screen).

Phase Imbalance (47)

DGC-2020ES controllers are capable of protecting against voltage imbalances between any of the three
phases. The pickup setting entered is based on the PT secondary side. A phase imbalance condition is
annunciated when the difference between any of the three phases of generator voltage increases above
the 47 pickup setting for the duration of the 47 activation delay setting. A phase imbalance annunciation
can be user-selected to trigger a pre-alarm (warning) or alarm (shutdown). A phase imbalance
annunciation can also be user-configured to close a programmable output.
The hysteresis setting functions as a phase imbalance dropout by preventing rapid switching of the pickup
output.
A low-line scale factor setting is used to automatically adjust the phase imbalance pickup setting in
applications that may utilize more than one type of genset connection. The scale factor setting is
implemented when the DGC-2020ES senses a contact closure at a contact input programmed to activate
the low-line override. This triggers scaling of the protection settings. The value of the scale factor setting
serves as a multiplier for the pickup setting. For example, if a scale factor contact input is received by the
DGC-2020ES and the scale factor setting is 2.000, the pickup setting will be doubled (2.000 × PU).
The element is disabled when Alarm Configuration is set to “None”. Element status is available in

Frequency
Two sets of frequency protection settings are provided: one for underfrequency (81U) and one for
overfrequency (81O).

Underfrequency (81U)
An underfrequency condition is annunciated when the generator frequency decreases below the 81U
pickup setting for the duration of the 81U activation delay setting. An underfrequency annunciation can be
user-selected to trigger a pre-alarm (warning) or alarm (shutdown). An underfrequency annunciation can
also be user-configured to close a programmable output.
A voltage-based inhibit setting prevents an 81U trip from occurring during an underfrequency condition
associated with system startup.
The hysteresis setting functions as an underfrequency dropout by preventing rapid switching of the pickup
output.

Overfrequency (81O)
When the generator frequency increases above the 81O pickup setting for the duration of the 81O
activation delay setting, an overfrequency condition is annunciated. An overfrequency annunciation can
be user-selected to trigger a pre-alarm (warning) or alarm (shutdown). An overfrequency condition can
also be user configured to close a programmable output.
The hysteresis setting functions as an overfrequency dropout by preventing rapid switching of the pickup
output.
The element is disabled when Alarm Configuration is set to “None”. Element status is available in
BESTlogicPlus Programmable Logic when “Status Only” is selected.

Alternate Frequency Scale Factor

An alternate frequency scale factor setting is used for automatic adjustment of the frequency pickup
settings in applications that may utilize more than one operating frequency. For example, a machine that
is configurable between 50 or 60 Hz operation. The scale factor setting is implemented when the DGC-
2020ES senses a contact closure at a contact input that is connected to the Alternate Frequency Override
logic element in BESTlogicPlus Programmable Logic. When the Alternate Frequency Override is true, the
scale factor setting serves as a multiplier for the pickup settings. For example, if an alternate frequency
scale factor contact input is received by the DGC-2020ES and the scale factor setting is 2.000, the pickup
setting is doubled (2.000 x PU).

Per Unit
Settings which are related to machine ratings can be set in either actual units of hertz or in per unit
values. Per unit settings are available for Pickup (81O/81U) and Inhibit Volts (81U). When a native unit is
edited, BESTCOMSPlus automatically recalculates the per unit value based on the native unit setting and
the rated data parameter (on the System Parameters, Rated Data screen) associated with it. When a per
unit value is edited, BESTCOMSPlus automatically recalculates the native value based on the per unit
setting and the rated data parameter associated with it.
Once all per unit values are assigned, if the rated data parameters are changed, BESTCOMSPlus
automatically recalculates all native unit settings based on the modified rated data parameters.
The following settings have native units of Frequency in Hz, and the rated data associated with them is
Rated Frequency (on the System Parameters, Rated Data screen).

Frequency. The BESTCOMSPlus Frequency screen is illustrated in Figure 24.

Figure 24. Settings Explorer, Generator Protection, Frequency, Frequency (81) Screen

Overcurrent
Two sets of overcurrent settings are provided for this element: one for three-phase generator connections
and one for single-phase generator connections. The pickup setting entered is based on the CT
secondary side. When a single-phase override contact input is received by the DGC-2020ES, the
overcurrent protection settings automatically switch from the three-phase settings to the single-phase
overcurrent protection settings.
When any of the phase currents increase above the pickup setting for the duration of the overcurrent time
delay, an overcurrent condition is annunciated. An overcurrent annunciation can be user-selected to
trigger a pre-alarm (warning) or alarm (shutdown). An overcurrent annunciation can also be user-
configured to close a programmable output.
A low-line scale factor setting is used for automatic adjustment of the overcurrent pickup settings in
applications that may utilize more than one type of genset connection. The scale factor setting is
implemented when the DGC-2020ES senses a contact closure at a contact input programmed to activate
low-line override. This triggers scaling of the protection settings. The value of the scale factor setting

Reporting and Alarms

The DGC-2020ES monitors ECU data, generator protection functions, and engine senders. An alarm or
pre-alarm is annunciated when the monitored parameter exceeds its threshold settings.
When an alarm condition exists, the engine is stopped by opening the Fuel output contact. An existing
pre-alarm condition is annunciated only.
When alarms are active, the front panel Overview screen is replaced by the Active Alarms screen. When
only pre-alarms are active, the front panel Overview screen is alternated with the Active Pre-Alarms
®
screen in one-second intervals. Active alarms and pre-alarms can be viewed through BESTCOMSPlus .
The front panel Alarm LED is illuminated when alarms are active. When pre-alarms are active, the Alarm
LED flashes in one-second intervals.
If programmed and enabled, the horn output is closed when alarms are active. When pre-alarms are
active, the horn output toggles in one-second intervals.
Active alarms are also indicated on the optional remote display panel in the form of LEDs and an audible
horn. Red alarm LEDs light and the horn sounds when the corresponding alarm setting is exceeded. If an
active alarm condition is not annunciated by the remote display panel, the Switch Not In Auto LED lights
and the horn sounds.
Each alarm provides a logic output that can be connected to a physical output or other logic input using
BESTlogic™Plus Programmable Logic.

DGC-2020ES Reporting and Alarms

74 9469200990 Rev D

Low Oil Pressure

Low oil pressure alarm settings consist of an enable/disable setting, a threshold setting, and an arming
delay. If enabled, a low oil pressure alarm is triggered after a two second delay when the engine oil
pressure decreases below the threshold setting. The arming delay disables the low oil pressure alarm
function for a user-adjustable period after engine startup. System units and metric pressure units are
configured on the System Settings screen.

Overspeed
Overspeed alarm settings include an enable/disable setting, a threshold setting, and an activation delay.
If enabled, an overspeed alarm occurs when the engine speed (in rpm) exceeds the threshold setting for
the duration of the activation time delay.

Low Fuel Level

Low fuel level alarm settings consist of an enable/disable setting, a threshold setting, and an activation
delay setting. If enabled, a low fuel level alarm is triggered when the metered fuel level drops below the
threshold setting for the duration of the activation time delay.

Low Coolant Level

Low coolant level alarm settings consist of an enable/disable setting and a threshold setting. If enabled, a
low coolant level alarm is triggered when the metered coolant level drops below the threshold setting.
ECU Support must be enabled on the Communications, CAN Bus, CAN Bus Setup screen before this
alarm can be configured.

Pre-alarms
To configure pre-alarms using BESTCOMSPlus, open the Pre-Alarms screen (Figure 41). This screen is
found in the Settings Explorer under the Alarm Configuration category. If using the front panel, navigate to
Settings > Alarm Configuration > Pre-alarms.
The pre-alarm settings are described below.

High Fuel Level

High fuel level pre-alarm settings consist of an enable/disable setting, a threshold setting, and an
activation delay. If enabled, a high fuel level pre-alarm is triggered when the metered fuel level increases
above the threshold setting for the duration of the activation delay.

Low Fuel Level

Low fuel level pre-alarm settings consist of an enable/disable setting and a threshold setting. If enabled, a
low fuel level pre-alarm is triggered when the metered fuel level decreases below the threshold setting.

Low Battery Voltage

Low battery voltage pre-alarm settings consist of an enable/disable setting, a threshold setting, and an
activation delay. If enabled, a low battery voltage pre-alarm is triggered when the battery voltage
decreases below the threshold setting for the duration of the activation time delay. The threshold can be
entered in actual volts or a per-unit value. The per-unit threshold value is based on the nominal battery
voltage setting found on the System Parameters, Rated Data screen.

High Coolant Temp

High coolant temperature pre-alarm settings consist of an enable/disable setting and a threshold setting.
If enabled, a high coolant temperature pre-alarm is annunciated when the engine coolant temperature
exceeds the threshold setting for a fixed duration of four seconds. The arming delay disables the High
Coolant Temp pre-alarm function for a user-adjustable time during engine startup. Delay duration is
determined by the High Coolant Temp Alarm Arming Delay setting. System units are configured on the
System Settings screen.

Reporting and Alarms DGC-2020ES

9469200990 Rev D 75

Weak Battery Voltage

Weak battery voltage pre-alarm settings consist of an enable/disable setting, a threshold setting, and an
activation time delay. If enabled, a weak battery voltage pre-alarm latches during engine cranking when
the battery voltage decreases below the threshold setting for the duration of the activation delay. The
threshold can be entered in actual volts or a per-unit value. The per-unit threshold value is based on the
nominal battery voltage setting found on the System Parameters, Rated Data screen.

Low Coolant Temp

Low coolant temperature pre-alarm settings consist of an enable/disable setting and a threshold setting. If
enabled, a low coolant temperature pre-alarm occurs when the engine coolant temperature decreases
below the threshold setting. System units are configured on the System Settings screen.

Battery Overvoltage
Battery overvoltage pre-alarm settings consist of an enable/disable setting and a threshold setting. If
enabled, a battery overvoltage pre-alarm occurs when the battery voltage increases above the threshold
setting. The threshold can be entered in actual volts or a per-unit value. The per-unit threshold value is
based on the nominal battery voltage setting found on the System Parameters, Rated Data screen.

ECU Coms Fail

ECU communication failure pre-alarm settings consist of a single enable/disable setting. If enabled, this
pre-alarm is triggered when the DGC-2020ES detects a problem in its J1939 CAN connection to the ECU.

Coolant Level
Low coolant level pre-alarm settings consist of an enable/disable setting and a threshold setting. If
enabled, a low coolant level pre-alarm is triggered when the metered coolant level decreases below the
threshold setting.

Maintenance Interval
Maintenance interval pre-alarm settings consist of an enable/disable setting and a threshold setting. If
enabled, a maintenance interval pre-alarm is annunciated when the DGC-2020ES maintenance timer
counts down to zero from the threshold time setting.

Active DTC
Active DTC (diagnostic trouble code) pre-alarm settings consist of a single enable/disable setting. If
J1939 CAN and DTC support are both enabled, an “active DTC” pre-alarm can be enabled. This pre-
alarm is triggered when a DTC is sent from the ECU to the DGC-2020ES.

Low Oil Pressure

Low oil pressure pre-alarm settings consist of an enable/disable setting and a threshold setting. If
enabled, a low oil pressure pre-alarm is triggered after a two second delay when the engine oil pressure
decreases below the threshold setting. The arming delay disables the low oil pressure pre-alarm function
for a user-adjustable time during engine startup. Delay duration is determined by the Low Oil Pressure
Alarm Arming Delay setting. System units and metric pressure units are configured on the System
Settings screen.

CEM Comm Failure

CEM-2020 communication failure pre-alarm settings consist of a single enable/disable setting. If enabled,
this pre-alarm is triggered when communication between the optional CEM-2020 and DGC-2020ES is
lost.

Checksum Failure
When one of the internal checksum calculations, used for data integrity purposes, has failed, the
checksum failure pre-alarm is triggered. This indicates that some of the user settings or firmware code
has been corrupted.

DGC-2020ES Reporting and Alarms

76 9469200990 Rev D

After upgrading firmware through BESTCOMSPlus, the checksum failure pre-alarm may trigger. This pre-
alarm is not indicative of an error in this case. It can be cleared by cycling power to the DGC-2020ES. If
the pre-alarm reoccurs, then it is indicative of an error and corrective action should be taken. See
Resetting Alarms, Checksum Failure, below, for more information.

Breaker Close Failure

If enabled, this pre-alarm is triggered when the DGC-2020ES has issued a "breaker close" output and has
not received "breaker closed" feedback from the breaker within the allowed closing time. The Monitor
setting determines whether this condition is monitored only during transitions or always.

Breaker Open Failure

If enabled, this pre-alarm is triggered when the DGC-2020ES has issued a "breaker open" output and has
not received "breaker opened" feedback from the breaker within the allowed closing time. The Monitor
setting determines whether this condition is monitored only during transitions or always.

Reverse Rotation
If enabled, this pre-alarm is triggered when the Generator or Bus rotation is opposite of the Phase
Rotation setting defined on the Rated Data screen.

Checksum Failure
The checksum failure pre-alarm can be cleared by holding the Back pushbutton for two seconds while
displaying the Overview screen. However, the pre-alarm will reoccur the next time the checksum is
verified if the data is still corrupted. Some checksum calculations are done only on power-up, so this may
not occur until the next time operating power is cycled.
If there are consistent checksum failure pre-alarms, attempt the following actions to correct the problem:
1. Load default settings by holding the Up and Down pushbuttons on the front panel while cycling
power. After loading defaults, upload the settings file through BESTCOMSPlus if necessary.

Caution
Loading default settings will erase all custom settings. All reports and
events will be cleared. It is recommended that all settings are
downloaded and saved through BESTCOMSPlus before attempting to
load defaults. Once defaults are loaded, the saved settings can then
be uploaded.

2. If the problem persists, reload the firmware file through BESTCOMSPlus. See the
BESTCOMSPlus chapter for more information.
3. Contact Basler Electric Technical Support.
4. The checksum failure pre-alarm can be disabled. This disables only the annunciation of the pre-
alarm and does not correct any error conditions.

Event Recording
An event log retains history of system events in nonvolatile memory. Fifty event records are retained and
each record contains a time stamp of the first and last event occurrence, and the number of occurrences
for each event. In addition, each record contains details of the time, date, and engine hours for the most
recent 30 occurrences of the event. The number of occurrences stops incrementing at 99. If an event
occurs which is of a type that differs from those in the 50 records in memory, the record that has the
oldest “last” event occurrence is removed from the log, and the new category takes its place. Since 50
event records with up to 99 occurrences each are retained in memory, a history of nearly 5,000 specific
events are retained by the DGC-2020ES. Detailed occurrence information is retained for the most recent
30 occurrences of each event record, and there are 50 event records. Thus the time, date, and engine
hours details for up to 1,500 specific event occurrences are retained in the event log.

Event Log
An event log can be downloaded into BESTCOMSPlus® for viewing and storage. The Options button is
used to save the entire event log to a file, or to save the list to the computer clipboard making it available
for insertion into other software applications. It is possible to copy a portion of the log to the computer
clipboard by selecting the desired portion with the mouse then using the Options->Copy Selection feature.
The Download button refreshes the event log list by performing a fresh download of the list from the DGC-
2020ES. The Clear button gives the user the option of clearing selected or all event logs. Refer to Figure
45.

Figure 45. Metering Explorer, Event Log Screen (Sorted by Event ID)
The event log may also be viewed on the front panel display by navigating to Metering, Alarms-Status,

Terminals and Connectors

All DGC-2020ES terminals and connectors are located on the rear panel. DGC-2020ES terminals consist
of a mini-B USB socket and plug-in connectors with spring clamp terminals.
Figure 48 illustrates the rear panel terminals. Locator letters in the illustration correspond to the terminal
block and connector descriptions in Table 8.

Figure 48. Rear Panel

DGC-2020ES Terminals and Connectors

90 9469200990 Rev D

Table 8. Rear Panel Terminal and Connector Descriptions

Locator Description
A The majority of external, DGC-2020ES wiring is terminated at 8- or 15-position
connectors with spring clamp terminals. These connectors plug into headers on the
DGC-2020ES. The connectors and headers have a dovetailed edge that ensures
proper connector orientation. Each connector and header is uniquely keyed to ensure
that a connector mates only with the correct header. Spring clamp terminals accept a
maximum wire size of 12 AWG.
B The mini-B USB socket mates with a standard USB cable and is used with a PC
®
running BESTCOMSPlus software for local communication with the DGC-2020ES.

Connections
DGC-2020ES connections are dependent on the application. Incorrect wiring may result in damage to the
controller.

Note
Be sure that the DGC-2020ES is hard-wired to earth ground with no
smaller than 12 AWG copper wire attached to the chassis ground
terminal (terminal 1) on the rear of the controller.
Operating power from the battery must be of the correct polarity.
Although reverse polarity will not cause damage, the DGC-2020ES will
not operate.
For the DGC-2020ES to correctly meter power factor, the generator
must be rotating clockwise (A-B-C).

The DGC-2020ES terminals are grouped by function and include operating power, generator current
sensing, generator voltage sensing, bus voltage sensing, analog engine sender inputs, magnetic pickup
input, contact sensing inputs, output contacts, USB interface, CAN interface, and Remote Display Panel
connections.
DGC-2020ES terminal groups are described in the following paragraphs.

Operating Power
The DGC-2020ES operating power input accepts either 12 Vdc or 24 Vdc and tolerates voltage over the
range of 6 to 32 Vdc. Operating power must be of the correct polarity. Although reverse polarity will not
cause damage, the DGC-2020ES will not operate. Operating power terminals are listed in Table 9.
It is recommended that a fuse be added for additional protection for the wiring to the battery input of the
DGC-2020ES. A fuse helps prevent wire damage and nuisance trips due to initial power supply inrush
current. To follow UL guidelines, a 5 A maximum, 32 Vdc supplementary fuse must be implemented in the
battery input circuit to the DGC-2020ES

Note
1. If the DGC-2020ES is providing one end of the J1939 bus, a
120 Ω, ½ watt terminating resistor should be installed across
terminals 14 (CANL) and 13 (CANH).
2. If the DGC-2020ES is not providing one end of the J1939 bus, the
stub connecting the DGC-2020ES to the bus should not exceed
914 mm (3 ft) in length.
3. The maximum bus length, not including stubs, is 40 m (131 ft).
4. The J1939 drain (shield) should be grounded at one point only. If
grounded elsewhere, do not connect the drain to the DGC-
2020ES

Optional Remote Display Panel Connections

Terminals are provided for connection with the optional Remote Display Panel. These terminals provide
dc operating power to the Remote Display Panel and enable communication between the DGC-2020ES
and Remote Display Panel. Twisted-pair conductors are recommended for connecting the communication
terminals of the DGC-2020ES and Remote Display Panel. Communication may become unreliable if the
connection wires exceed 1,219 m (4,000 ft). Table 19 lists the DGC-2020ES terminals that connect to the

BESTCOMSPlus®
® ®
BESTCOMSPlus is a Windows -based, PC application that provides a user-friendly, graphical user
interface (GUI) for use with Basler Electric communicating products. The name BESTCOMSPlus is an
acronym that stands for Basler Electric Software Tool for Communications, Operations, Maintenance, and
Settings.
BESTCOMSPlus provides the user with a point-and-click means to set and monitor the DGC-2020ES.
The capabilities of BESTCOMSPlus make the configuration of one or several DGC-2020ES controllers
fast and efficient. A primary advantage of BESTCOMSPlus is that a settings scheme can be created,
saved as a file, and then uploaded to the DGC-2020ES at the user’s convenience.
BESTCOMSPlus uses plugins, allowing the user to manage several different Basler Electric products.
The DGC-2020ES plugin must be activated before use. The plugin can be activated automatically by
connecting to a DGC-2020ES, or manually by requesting an activation key from Basler Electric.
The DGC-2020ES plugin opens inside the BESTCOMSPlus main shell. The same default logic scheme
that is shipped with the DGC-2020ES is brought into BESTCOMSPlus by downloading settings and logic
from the DGC-2020ES. This gives the user the option of developing a custom setting file by modifying the
default logic scheme or by building a unique scheme from scratch.
BESTlogic™Plus Programmable Logic is used to program DGC-2020ES logic for protection elements,
inputs, outputs, alarms, etc. This is accomplished by drag-and-drop method. The user can drag elements,
components, inputs, and outputs onto the program grid and make connections between them to create
the desired logic scheme.
Figure 56 illustrates the typical user interface components of the DGC-2020ES plugin with
BESTCOMSPlus.

Firmware Updates
Future enhancements to the DGC-2020ES functionality will make a firmware update desirable. Because
default settings are loaded when DGC-2020ES firmware is updated, your settings should be saved in a
file prior to upgrading firmware.

Note
The latest version of BESTCOMSPlus software should be downloaded
from the Basler Electric website and installed before performing a
firmware upgrade.

A device package contains firmware and a language module. Embedded firmware is the operating
program that controls the actions of the DGC-2020ES. The DGC-2020ES stores firmware in nonvolatile
flash memory that can be reprogrammed through the communication ports. It is not necessary to replace
EPROM chips when updating the firmware with a newer version.
The language of the front panel LCD can be changed by uploading a different language module into the
DGC-2020ES. The DGC-2020ES stores the language module in nonvolatile flash memory; the language
module contains all language translations for the DGC-2020ES. The language module can be
reprogrammed through the communications port. In general, any time a firmware upgrade is made to the
DGC-2020ES, the language module should be uploaded as well.
The DGC-2020ES can be used in conjunction with the Contact Expansion Module (CEM-2020) which
expands the DGC-2020ES capabilities. When upgrading the firmware in any component of this system,
the firmware in ALL of the components of the system should be upgraded to ensure compatibility of
communications between the components.

BESTCOMSPlus® DGC-2020ES
9469200990 Rev D 111

Caution
The order in which the components are upgraded is critical. Assuming
a system of a DGC-2020ES and expansion module is in a state where
the DGC-2020ES is communicating with the system expansion
module, the expansion module must be upgraded before the
DGC-2020ES. This is necessary because the DGC-2020ES must be
able to communicate with the expansion module before the DGC-
2020ES can send firmware to it. If the DGC-2020ES were upgraded
first, and the new firmware included a change to the expansion
module communication protocol, it is possible that the expansion
module could no longer communicate with the upgraded DGC-
2020ES. Without communications between the DGC-2020ES and the
expansion module, upgrading the expansion module is not possible.

Note
If power is lost or communication is interrupted during file transfer to
the DGC-2020ES, it will cease to operate and will not recover
automatically. If this occurs or if the front panel HMI becomes blank
and all LEDs are flashing at a two-second rate, the DGC-2020ES will
not have valid firmware installed and the firmware must be uploaded
again. To accomplish this, cycle power to the DGC-2020ES and
activate the DGC-2020ES plugin in BESTCOMSPlus. Select Upload
Device Files from the Communication pull-down menu and proceed
normally.

Upgrading Firmware in Expansion Modules

The following procedure is used to upgrade firmware in the DGC-2020ES expansion module. This must
be completed before upgrading firmware in the DGC-2020ES. If no expansion module is present, proceed
to Upgrading Firmware in the DGC-2020ES.
1. Place the DGC-2020ES in OFF mode. This can be accomplished by clicking the Off button on the
Control screen inside the Metering Explorer or by pressing the Off button on the DGC-2020ES front
panel.
2. Enable the expansion module that is present in the system. If it has not already been enabled, enable
the expansion module on the SETTINGS > SYSTEM PARAMETERS > REMOTE MODULE SETUP
screen.
3. Verify that the DGC-2020ES and the associated expansion module are communicating. This can be
verified by examining the pre-alarm status using the Metering Explorer in BESTCOMSPlus or from
the front panel by navigating to METERING > ALARMS-STATUS > PRE-ALARMS. There should be
no Loss of Comms pre-alarms in the pre-alarm status when communications are functioning properly.
4. Connect to the DGC-2020ES through the USB port if not already connected.
5. Select Upload Device Files from the Communication pull-down menu.
6. You will be asked to save the current settings file. Select Yes or No.
7. When the Basler Electric Device Package Uploader screen (Figure 66) appears, click on the Open

Yes.
f. If you are receiving upload failures and indications that the logic is incompatible with the
firmware version, check that the DGC-2020ES style number in the saved file matches
that of the DGC-2020ES into which the file is being uploaded. The style number in the
settings file is found under GENERAL SETTINGS > STYLE NUMBER in
BESTCOMSPlus.
g. If the style number of the settings file does not match that of the DGC-2020ES into which
it is to be loaded, disconnect from the DGC-2020ES, then modify the style number in the
settings file. Then repeat the steps titled Load the Settings File into the DGC-2020ES.

BESTCOMSPlus® Updates
Ongoing DGC-2020ES functionality enhancements may make future DGC-2020ES firmware updates
desirable. Enhancements to DGC-2020ES firmware typically coincide with enhancements to the DGC-
2020ES plugin for BESTCOMSPlus. When a DGC-2020ES is updated with the latest version of firmware,
the latest version of BESTCOMSPlus should also be obtained.
• If you obtained a CD-ROM containing a firmware update from Basler Electric, then that CD-ROM
will also contain the corresponding version of BESTCOMSPlus software.
• You can check for BESTCOMSPlus updates by visiting www.basler.com.
• You can use the manual “check for updates” function in BESTCOMSPlus to ensure that the latest

BESTlogic™Plus
BESTlogicPlus Programmable Logic is a programming method used for managing the input, output,
protection, control, monitoring, and reporting capabilities of Basler Electric's DGC-2020ES Digital Genset
Controller. Each DGC-2020ES has multiple, self-contained logic blocks that have all of the inputs and
outputs of its discrete component counterpart. Each independent logic block interacts with control inputs
and hardware outputs based on logic variables defined in equation form with BESTlogicPlus.
BESTlogicPlus equations entered and saved in the DGC-2020ES system's nonvolatile memory integrate
(electronically wire) the selected or enabled protection and control blocks with control inputs and
hardware outputs. A group of logic equations defining the logic of the DGC-2020ES is called a logic
scheme.
One default active logic scheme is preloaded into the DGC-2020ES. This scheme is configured for a
typical protection and control application and virtually eliminates the need for "start-from-scratch"
®
programming. BESTCOMSPlus can be used to open a logic scheme that was previously saved as a file
and upload it to the DGC-2020ES. The default logic scheme can also be customized to suit your
application. Detailed information about logic schemes is provided later in this section.
BESTlogicPlus is not used to define the operating settings (modes, pickup thresholds, and time delays) of
the individual protection and control functions. Operating settings and logic settings are interdependent
but separately programmed functions. Changing logic settings is similar to rewiring a panel and is
separate and distinct from making the operating settings that control the pickup thresholds and time
delays of a DGC-2020ES. Detailed information about operating settings is provided in the

Logic Control Relays
The logic control relays (LCR) consist of LCR outputs and LCR inputs. The output can be used to terminate the
“output” end of a logic network, and then use the corresponding input as an input to logic elsewhere in the logic
scheme. When a given LCR output is true the corresponding LCR input is true. In other words, when LCR Output
N (N being a number from 1 to 16) becomes true, then LCR Input N is true also.
If you get a “too many logic levels” error while building a logic network, LCR outputs and inputs can be used as a
solution to this problem. Place an LCR output on the end of the partial logic network and then use the
corresponding LCR input to build more logic than was previously possible.
Inputs See description above.

ATS When this logic element is true, and the DGC-2020ES is in

AUTO mode, the generator will run. This can be used in
place of the ATS programmable function if it is desired to
generate the ATS signal as a combination of
programmable logic rather than a simple contact input. If
either the ATS logic element is true or the contact mapped
to the ATS programmable function is true, and the DGC-
2020ES is in AUTO mode, the generator will run. If both the
ATS logic element and the ATS programmable function are
false, and the DGC-2020ES is in AUTO mode, the
generator will cool down and stop.
AUTOMODE When this input is true, and the DGC-2020ES is in OFF

COOLSTOPREQ RUN Mode
If the unit is in RUN mode when the Cool Stop Request is
received, the unit will unload, open its breaker, and go into
a cooldown cycle. While in the cooldown cycle, the unit will
display “COOL & STOP REQ” in addition to displaying the
cooldown timer. After the cooldown timer expires, the unit
will go to OFF mode. The Cool Stop Request must be
removed before the unit can be run again.
If the Cool Stop Request is removed during the cooldown
process, the unit will remain running. Furthermore, if a
condition occurs that normally causes the unit to close its
breaker in RUN mode, the unit will close its breaker and
reload.
AUTO Mode
If the unit is in AUTO mode when the Cool Stop Request is
received, all conditions that would normally cause the unit
to run in AUTO mode are cleared. Since all conditions that
cause the unit to run have been removed, the unit goes into
a cooldown cycle. While in the cooldown cycle, the unit will
display “COOL & STOP REQ” in addition to displaying the
cooldown timer. After the cooldown timer expires, the unit
will shut down, remaining in AUTO. The Cool Stop Request
must be removed before the unit can be run again.
If the Cool Stop Request is removed during the cooldown
process and some condition that would normally cause the
unit to run in AUTO mode is true, the unit will remain
running. Furthermore, if a condition occurs that normally
causes the unit to close its breaker, the unit will close its
breaker and reload.
COOLDOWNREQ RUN Mode
If the unit is in RUN mode when the Cool Down Request is
received, the unit is forced to unload and open its breaker
and then go into a cooldown cycle. While in the cool down
cycle, the unit will display “COOLDOWN REQ” in addition
to displaying the cooldown timer. After the cooldown timer
expires, the unit will remain running in RUN mode. The
Cool Down Request must be removed before the breaker
can be closed again; this element blocks breaker closures.
If the Cool Down Request is removed during the cool down
process, the unit will remain running in RUN mode.
Furthermore, if a condition occurs that normally causes the
unit to close its breaker in RUN mode, the unit will close its
breaker and reload.
AUTO Mode
If the unit is in AUTO mode and the Cool Down Request is
received, the unit is forced to unload and open its breaker
and go into a cooldown cycle. While in the cooldown cycle,
the unit will display “COOLDOWN REQ” in addition to
displaying the cooldown timer. After the cool down timer
expires, the unit will remain running in AUTO mode, unless
there are no conditions that cause the unit to run in AUTO
mode, in which case it will shut down and remain in AUTO
mode. The Cool Down Request must be removed before
the breaker can be closed again; this element blocks
breaker closures.
If the Cool Down Request is removed during the cool down
process and some condition that would normally cause the
unit to run in AUTO mode is true, the unit will remain

ENGINERUN The Start input starts the generator. No load is applied. The
breaker remains open. The Stop input stops the generator.
The DGC-2020ES only responds to this logic element
when in AUTO mode.

EPSSUPPLYINGLD When this element is true and the generator is deemed

stable, the EPS Supplying Load LED, on the front panel, is
illuminated.
Under normal operation, the DGC-2020ES indicates that it
is supplying load when the generator is deemed stable and
the generator current is above a percentage of CT primary
current (typically 3%). The generator current requirement
for supplying load indication may be bypassed by setting
this element true. This is useful for testing purposes or in
cases where the generator supplies load at a current level
which falls below the requirement.
A cool-down cycle is performed when the DGC-2020ES is
in auto mode, is indicating that it is supplying load (whether
driven by logic or generator current), and the ATS input is
removed.
ESTOP When this element is true, an Emergency Shutdown alarm
is annunciated and the Emergency Stop LED on the RDP-
110 is illuminated.

GENBRK This element is used to connect the breaker open and
close output signals from the DGC-2020ES to physical
output contacts to open and close the generator breaker,
and map breaker status feedback to a contact input. In
addition, contact inputs can be mapped to allow switches to
be implemented to manually initiate breaker open and
close requests.
Inputs
Status: This input allows a contact input to be mapped that
will provide breaker status feedback to the DGC-2020ES.
When the contact input is closed, the breaker is indicated
to be closed. When the contact input is open, the breaker is
indicated to be open.
Open: This input allows a contact input to be mapped that
can be used to initiate a manual breaker open request.
When this input is pulsed closed while the DGC-2020ES is
in RUN or AUTO mode, the breaker will open.
Close: This input allows a contact input to be mapped that
can be used to initiate a manual breaker close request.
When this input is pulsed and the DGC-2020ES is in AUTO
or RUN mode, and the generator is stable, a close request
will be initiated. If bus is dead, the breaker will close; if the
bus is not dead the generator breaker will not be closed.
Outputs
The outputs must be mapped to the contact outputs of the
DGC-2020ES that will be used to drive the breaker.
Open: This output is pulsed true (closes the output contact
it is mapped to) when the DGC-2020ES is providing a
signal to the breaker to open. It will be a pulse if the
Breaker Output Contact Type is set to Pulse on the Breaker
Hardware screen under Breaker Management in the
Settings Explorer, and the length is determined by the
Open Pulse Time. It will be a constant output if the
Generator Breaker Hardware Contact Type is set to
continuous. Note the pulse time must be set long enough
for the breaker to actually open before the pulse is
removed.
Close: This output is pulsed true (closes the output contact
it is mapped to) when the DGC-2020ES is providing a
signal to the breaker to close. It will be a pulse if the
Breaker Output Contact Type is set to Pulse on the Breaker
Hardware screen under Breaker Management in the
Settings Explorer, and the length is determined by the
Open Pulse Time. It will be a constant output if the
Generator Breaker Hardware Contact Type is set to
continuous. Note the pulse time must be set long enough
for the breaker to actually open before the pulse is
removed.
IDLEREQUEST When this element is true, the DGC-2020ES sends an idle
request to the ECU on J1939 engines that are equipped to
receive such a request. The request consists of an enable
bit command and an idle RPM setting. At this time, only
Volvo and Cummins are implemented. ECUs that accept
the idle RPM setting set the engine to the requested RPM.
ECUs that accept only the enable bit command, set the
engine to their internal idle speed setting, ignoring the
requested idle RPM from the DGC-2020ES.
LAMPTEST The lamp test will be performed when this element is true.
The lamp test can also be accomplished by simultaneously
pressing the Up and Down buttons on the front panel of the

Logic Schemes
A logic scheme is a group of logic variables written in equation form that defines the operation of a DGC-
2020ES Digital Genset Controller. Each logic scheme is given a unique name. This gives you the ability to
select a specific scheme and be confident that the selected scheme is in operation. One logic scheme is
configured for typical control applications and is the default active logic scheme. Only one logic scheme
can be active at a given time. In most applications, preprogrammed logic schemes eliminate the need for
custom programming. Preprogrammed logic schemes may provide more inputs, outputs, or features than
are needed for a particular application. This is because a preprogrammed scheme is designed for a large
number of applications with no special programming required. Unneeded logic block outputs may be left
open to disable a function or a function block can be disabled through operating settings.
When a custom logic scheme is required, programming time is reduced by modifying the default logic
scheme.

The Active Logic Scheme

Digital Genset Controllers must have an active logic scheme in order to function. All Basler Electric DGC-
2020ES units are delivered with a default, active logic scheme pre-loaded in memory. If the function block
configuration and output logic of the default logic scheme meets the requirements of your application,
then only the operating settings (power system parameters and threshold settings) need to be adjusted
before placing the DGC-2020ES in service.

Copying and Renaming Preprogrammed Logic Schemes

Copying a saved logic scheme to the active logic and assigning a unique name is accomplished by
loading the saved logic scheme into BESTCOMSPlus and then typing over the logic scheme's name.
Changes are not activated until the new settings have been saved and uploaded to the device.

Sending and Retrieving Logic Schemes

To retrieve settings from the DGC-2020ES, it must be connected to a computer through a
communications port. Once the necessary connections are made, settings can be downloaded from the
DGC-2020ES by selecting Download Settings and Logic on the Communication pull-down menu.
To send settings to the DGC-2020ES, it must be connected to a computer through a communications
port. Once the necessary connections are made, settings can be uploaded to the DGC-2020ES by
selecting Upload Settings and Logic on the Communication pull-down menu.

Caution
Always remove the DGC-2020ES from service prior to changing or
modifying the active logic scheme. Attempting to modify a logic
scheme while the DGC-2020ES is in service could generate
unexpected or unwanted outputs.
Modifying a logic scheme in BESTCOMSPlus does not automatically
make that scheme active in the DGC-2020ES. The modified scheme
must be uploaded into the DGC-2020ES.

Programming BESTlogic™Plus
Use BESTCOMSPlus to program BESTlogicPlus. Using BESTCOMSPlus is analogous to physically
attaching wire between discrete DGC-2020ES terminals. To program BESTlogicPlus, use the Settings
Explorer within BESTCOMSPlus to open the BESTlogicPlus Programmable Logic tree branch as shown
in Figure 68.
The drag and drop method is used to connect a variable or series of variables to the logic inputs, outputs,
components, and elements. To draw a wire/link from port to port (triangles), click the left mouse button on
a port, pull the wire onto another port, and release the left mouse button. A red port indicates that a
connection to the port is required or missing. A black port indicates that a connection to the port is not
required. Drawing wires/links from input to input or output to output is not allowed. Only one wire/link can
be connected to any one output. If the proximity of the endpoint of the wire/link is not exact, it may attach
to an unintended port.
If an object or element is disabled, it will have a yellow X on it. To enable the element, navigate to the
settings page for that element. A red X indicates that an object or element is not available per the style
number of the DGC-2020ES.
The view of the Main Logic, Physical Outputs, Remote Outputs, and LCR Outputs can be automatically
arranged by clicking the right mouse button on the window and selecting Auto-Layout.
The following must be met before BESTCOMSPlus will allow logic to be uploaded to the DGC-2020ES:
• A minimum of two inputs and a maximum of four inputs on any multi-port (AND, OR, NAND,
NOR, XOR, and XNOR) gate.
• A maximum of five logic levels for any particular path. A path being an input block or an output
side of an element block through gates to an output block or an input side of an element block.
This is to include any OR gates on the Physical Output or Remote Output tab/pages, but not the
matched pairs of Physical Output blocks or Remote Output blocks.
• Only 20 gates per logic level. All output blocks and input sides of element blocks are at the
maximum logic level of the diagram. All gates are pushed forward/upwards in logic levels and
buffered to reach the final output block or element block if needed. A maximum of 50 gates
allowed per diagram.
• At all levels there can only be 64 used link/wired or endpoints. Endpoints being inputs, outputs,
both sides of element blocks.
Three status LEDs are located in the lower right corner of the BESTlogicPlus window. These LEDs show
the Logic Save Status, Logic Diagram Status, and Logic Layer Status. Table 26 defines the colors for
each LED.

Pickup and Dropout Timers

A pickup timer produces a true output when the elapsed time is greater than or equal to the Pickup Time
setting after a false to true transition occurs on the Initiate input from the connected logic. Whenever the
Initiate input status transitions to false, the output transitions to false immediately.
A drop out timer produces a true output when the elapsed time is greater than or equal to the Dropout
Time setting after a true to false transition occurs on the Initiate input from the connected logic. Whenever
the Initiate input transitions to true, the output transitions to false immediately. Refer to Figure 69.
To program logic timer settings, use the Settings Explorer within BESTCOMSPlus to open the
BESTlogicPlus Programmable Logic/Logic Timers tree branch. Enter a Name label that you want to
appear on the timer logic block. The Time Delay value range is 0 to 250 hours in 1 hour increments, 0 to
250 minutes in 1 minute increments, or 0 to 1,800 seconds in 0.1 second increments.
Next, open the Components tab inside the BESTlogicPlus window and drag a timer onto the program
grid. Right click on the timer to select the timer you want to use that was previously set on the Logic
Timers tree branch. The Logic Timer Properties Dialog Box will appear. Select the timer you want to use.

Communication
DGC-2020ES communication ports include a mini-B USB port, CAN terminals, and provisions for an
optional Remote Display Panel. The following paragraphs describe the DGC-2020ES communication
ports in detail.

USB
®
The rear-panel, mini-B USB port enables local communication with a PC running BESTCOMSPlus
software. The DGC-2020ES is connected to a PC using a standard USB cable. BESTCOMSPlus is a
®
Windows -based communication software package that is supplied with the DGC-2020ES. A detailed
description of BESTCOMSPlus is provided in the BESTCOMSPlus chapter.

CAN
A Controller Area Network (CAN) is a standard interface that enables communication between multiple
controllers on a common network using a standard message protocol. DGC-2020ES controllers have a
CAN interface that supports the SAE J1939 protocol and the MTU protocol.
Applications using an engine-driven generator set controlled by a DGC-2020ES may also have an Engine
Control Unit (ECU). The CAN interface allows the ECU and DGC-2020ES to communicate. The ECU
reports operating information to the DGC-2020ES through the CAN interface. Operating parameters and
diagnostic information, if supported by the ECU, are decoded and displayed for monitoring.
The primary use of the CAN interface is to obtain engine operating parameters for monitoring speed,
coolant temperature, oil pressure, coolant level, and engine hours without the need for direct connection
to individual senders. Table 27 lists the ECU parameters and Table 28 lists the engine configuration
parameters supported by the DGC-2020ES CAN interface. These parameters are transmitted via the
CAN interface at preset intervals. See the column labeled Update Rate in Table 27 for transmission rates.
CAN interface connections are made at 13 (CAN H), 14 (CAN L), and 15 (SHIELD).

Caution
When the CAN is enabled, the DGC-2020ES ignores the following
sender inputs: oil pressure, coolant temperature, and magnetic pickup.

Under certain circumstances, the following strings may be displayed on the front panel HMI and in the
Metering Explorer of BESTCOMSPlus:
• NC (Not Connected) - String displayed for a J1939 parameter when the engine ECU is not connected
to the DGC-2020ES.
• SF (Sender Fail) - String displayed for a J1939 parameter when the engine ECU sends a special
code indicating a measurement failure for the parameter. For example, if oil sender is determined to
be bad by the ECU, it sends a special code in place of the J1939 oil pressure data indicating a sender
fail condition.
• NS (Not Sent) - String displayed for a J1939 parameter when the J1939 parameter has not been sent
to the DGC-2020ES by the engine ECU.

CAN Setup
The following paragraphs describe the settings found on the CAN Setup screen. This screen is found in
the BESTCOMSPlus Settings Explorer, under the Communications, CAN Bus category. If using the front
panel, navigate to Settings > Communications > CAN Bus Setup > CAN Bus Setup. Figure 75 illustrates
the BESTCOMSPlus CAN Bus Setup screen.

Enable ECU Support

Set to Enabled for the DGC-2020ES to communicate with the ECU.

Enable DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) Support

If the ECU is a J1939 ECU, enable DTC support. If the ECU does not support it, no diagnostic trouble
codes will be logged by the DGC-2020ES.

SPN Conversion Method

The most common SPN conversion method is 4 and is the default for the DGC-2020ES. Refer to ECU
manufacturer documentation to determine the correct SPN conversion method of the ECU and set the
SPN Conversion Method setting in the DGC-2020ES accordingly.

CAN bus Address

This parameter sets a unique address number for the DGC-2020ES operating on a CAN. The CAN
Address is set internally by the DGC-2020ES when certain types of ECUs are selected on the ECU Setup
screen, and in this case, the user-entered value does not apply.

Communication DGC-2020ES
9469200990 Rev D 147

ECU Contact Control - Output Select

Select whether the RUN output relay or the PRE (Prestart) output relay closes to give the ECU its
“energize to run” signal. In some implementations, this relay may actually be providing ECU power.

ECU Contact Control - Pulsing Enable

Select if the ECU is not to be on line at all times. Often ECUs are allowed to go “off line” to conserve
battery drain when the engine is not running. The DGC-2020ES will “pulse” it periodically to force it to be
active to allow the DGC-2020ES to read data such as coolant temperature and coolant level. This is
required if the DGC-2020ES is to report low coolant temperature conditions (which may indicate a failure
of a block heater), or low coolant level conditions (if a leak occurs while the machine is not running).
Pulsing is also used to check the integrity of CAN communications when the machine is not running.

ECU Related Time Values - Engine Shut Down

Set this parameter for a value longer than the duration required to stop the engine after being shut down.
The ECU is pulsed after this time expires. If the time is too short, the pulse may occur while the engine is
still turning which could cause a brief re-start and possibly damage the flywheel and starter system.

ECU Related Time Values - Pulse Cycle Time

Set this parameter for the desired time between ECU pulse cycles.

ECU Related Time Values - Settling Time

This parameter is the duration of the “on line” time of the pulse cycle during which the DGC-2020ES
reads data from the ECU. The settling time should be set long enough so that any ECU parameters that
require time to “settle down” after the ECU is on line can do so. Since the DGC-2020ES may use some of
the ECU data for alarm or pre-alarm annunciation, it is important that the data have time to settle.

ECU Related Time Values - Response Timeout

This setting defines the amount of time that the DGC-2020ES will wait to receive data from the ECU
during a pulse cycle or start attempt. If no data is received during this time in a pulse cycle, a LOSS OF
ECU COMMS pre-alarm is annunciated. If no data is received in this time during an engine starting
attempt, a LOSS OF ECU COMMS alarm is annunciated.

Generator Parameter Transmit

When the Generator Parameter Transmit setting is enabled, the DGC-2020ES broadcasts generator
metered parameters over CAN as listed in Table 30. The Generator Parameter Transmit setting is not
used when ECU Type is set for MTU MDEC, MTU ECU7/ECU8, or MTU Smart Connect.

Engine Parameter Transmit

When the Engine Parameter Transmit setting is enabled, the DGC-2020ES broadcasts engine metered
parameters over CAN. When the Engine Parameter Transmit setting is disabled, transmission of J1939
commands from the DGC-2020ES to the engine are disabled, but commands from the engine to the
DGC-2020ES are allowed.

Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)

The diesel particulate filter settings are used when the ECU is configured for Standard, Volvo Penta, MTU
ADEC, GM/Doosan, Cummins, or MTU Smart Connect. The DGC-2020ES supports the CAN parameters
that are related to the diesel particulate filter implemented on certain engines to meet Tier 4 emission
requirements.
Two parameters are provided to initiate or disable DPF regeneration. The first, Manual Regeneration, is
transmitted to the engine via CAN to initiate DPF regeneration. The second, Disable Regeneration, is
transmitted to the engine via CAN to disable DPF regeneration. Extended operation with regeneration
disabled is not recommended.

Speed Setup
Speed control over J1939 and ECU7/ECU8 is implemented over CAN when the CAN bus RPM Request
setting is enabled. This is implemented for all ECUs. The Engine RPM setting defines the nominal
requested engine rpm. The Idle RPM setting is the requested rpm when the IDLE REQUEST logic
element is true.

Volvo Penta
Configuring the DGC-2020ES for Volvo Penta* necessitates the configuration of two additional settings:
Speed Select and Accelerator Position. The Speed Select setting configures the Volvo Penta ECU to

Communication DGC-2020ES
9469200990 Rev D 149

operate the engine at the primary or secondary base speed. If the engine is configured by Volvo for 60 Hz
applications, the primary base speed is 1,800 rpm and the secondary base speed is 1,500 rpm. If the
engine is configured by Volvo for 50 Hz applications, the primary base speed is 1,500 rpm and the
secondary base speed is 1,800 rpm. The Accelerator Position setting is expressed as a percentage and
tells the Volvo Penta ECU where to set the engine speed (trim) relative to the base speed. The range of
the setting is the base speed ±120 rpm. A setting of 0% will cause the engine to run at 120 rpm below the
base speed, a setting of 50% will cause the engine to run at the base speed, and a setting of 100% will
cause the engine to run at 120 rpm above the base speed. The Accelerator Position setting is linear with
a gain of 2.4 rpm/percentage. This setting is not saved in nonvolatile memory and defaults back to 50%
after DGC-2020ES operating power is cycled.
The DGC-2020ES sends the following parameters to a Volvo Penta ECU through Volvo Proprietary
J1939 communications:
• Start Request - sent when starting the engine.
• Stop Request - sent when shutting down the engine.
• Idle Request - sent when the Idle Request logic element is true in BESTlogicPlus.
• Preheat Request - sent anytime the DGC-2020ES would normally have its PRE relay closed for
engines requiring a preheat contact.
• Accelerator Pedal Position - sent based on the Accelerator Position setting. If the Accelerator
Pedal Position setting is left at the default 50%, this is calculated and sent based on the
programmable Engine RPM setting to achieve the desired engine RPM.
• Primary/Secondary Engine Speed - sent based on the Speed Select setting and the state of the
Alternate Frequency Override element in BESTlogicPlus. Primary speed is sent when the Speed
Select setting is set for Primary and Secondary speed is sent when the Speed Select setting is
set for Secondary. However, these are reversed if the Alternate Frequency Override is true. A
setting of Primary results in Secondary being sent and a setting of Secondary results in Primary
being sent when the Alternate Frequency Override is true.
∗ The Volvo Penta ECU configuration is applicable only to the EDC3 and EMS2 models of Volvo Penta
engine controllers.

Cummins
When Cummins is selected as the ECU type, the following parameters are sent to the engine via
Cummins Proprietary J1939 communications:
• Start Request - sent when starting or running the engine.
• Stop Request - sent when stopping the engine.
• Idle Request - sent when the Idle Request logic element is true in BESTlogicPlus.
• Rated Speed (50 or 60 Hz) - sent based on the Rated Speed setting of the DGC-2020ES.
However, these are reversed if the Alternate Frequency Override is true. A setting of 60 Hz Rated
Speed results in 50 Hz being sent and a setting of 50 Hz Rated Speed results in 60 Hz being sent
when the Alternate Frequency Override is true.

MTU
If the engine is configured as MTU MDEC, the configuration of the following settings is necessary:
• MDEC Module Type - Specifies the type of MDEC module.
• Speed Demand Switch - Specifies speed demand source for the MTU engine ECU.
• NMT Alive Transmit Rate - Specifies the rate at which messages are transmitted to the MTU
engine.
If the engine is configured as MTU ADEC, the configuration of the following settings is necessary:
• Speed Demand Switch - Specifies speed demand source for the MTU engine ECU.
• Overspeed Test - Temporarily drives an MTU ECU into overspeed for testing overspeed.
• Governor Param Switch Over - Specifies which governor parameters an MTU ECU should use.
• Trip Reset - Resets trip information such as trip fuel used, trip hours, trip idle time, etc.
• Int Oil Prime - Causes an MTU ECU engine to perform an internal lubrication cycle.
If the engine is configured as MTU ECU7/ECU8, the configuration of the following settings is necessary:

• Governor Param Switch Over - Specifies which governor parameters an MTU ECU should use.
• Cylinder Cutout Disable 2 - Turns the cylinder cutout disable 2 on or off.
• Engine Operating Mode - Selects engine operating mode 1 or 2.

Scania
The majority of CAN Bus parameters are sent from Scania Engine ECUs via standard J1939
communications. However, some additional proprietary parameters are sent via Scania proprietary J1939
communications. Proprietary Start, Stop, and Emergency Stop commands are sent from the
DGC-2020ES to the Scania ECU. The ECU communicates Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) Levels, as well as
DEF Fluid Low, DEF Low Severe, DEF Inducement, and DEF Severe Inducement Pre-Alarms to the
DGC-2020ES through Proprietary Scania parameters. Additional information on DEF related parameters
can be found in the Exhaust Treatment chapter.

John Deere
The Regeneration Interlock setting enables John Deere proprietary parameters to be broadcast over the
J1939 CAN Bus.
The Regeneration Interlock parameter is sent via the Stationary Regeneration/Cleaning CAN Lockout
Message PGN, which is PGN 61194. When the DGC Regeneration Interlock value is set to Enabled, the
DGC-2020ES sends a value of 01 (binary) for the two bit “Allowed” configuration which allows
regeneration to occur. When the DGC-2020ES Regeneration Interlock value is set to Disabled, the DGC-
2020ES sends a value of 00 (binary) for the two bit “Not Allowed” configuration which inhibits
regeneration.
The DGC-2020ES sends starter engagement requests to the ECU via the SAE J1939 Engine Start
Control PGN. When the DGC-2020ES requests the starter to be engaged it sends a value of 01 (binary)
for the two bit starter engagement parameter. Otherwise the DGC-2020ES sends a value of 00 (binary)
for the two bit starter engagement parameter.

Configuration
System parameters configure the DGC-2020ES for operation with a specific application. This chapter lists
items to consider when configuring the DGC-2020ES. These items consist of system settings and rated
data, remote module setup, crank settings, automatic restart settings, exercise timer settings, sensing
transformer ratings, relay control settings, and system configuration detection settings.

System Settings
The System Settings parameters consist of number of fly wheel teeth, speed signal source, power-up
delay, fuel level function, NFPA compliance level, EPS supplying load, system units, and metric pressure
®
units. The System Settings screen is found in the BESTCOMSPlus Settings Explorer under the System
Parameters category. If using the front panel, navigate to Settings > System Parameters > System
Settings.

Number Flywheel Teeth

The Number Fly Wheel Teeth setting accepts a value from 1 to 500, in increments of 0.1. This value is
used when calculating engine rpm.

Speed Signal Source

The DGC-2020ES can be configured to detect engine speed from a magnetic pickup (MPU), the genset
frequency, or both the MPU and genset frequency. On engines with CAN ECUs, if MPU or MPU Freq is
selected as the Speed Signal Source, the DGC-2020ES uses CAN as the speed source when CAN is
enabled. If Gen Freq is set as the Speed Signal Source, the DGC-2020ES uses the generator frequency.
When engine speed is obtained from the genset frequency, the DGC-2020ES uses the rated (nominal)
genset frequency and nominal rpm rating when calculating engine rpm.
When engine speed is obtained from an MPU, the DGC-2020ES uses the nominal rpm rating and the
number of flywheel teeth when calculating engine rpm.
The speed signal from the MPU takes priority when both the genset frequency and MPU are selected as
the engine speed source. If both MPU and genset frequency are selected and the MPU fails, the DGC-
2020ES automatically switches to the genset frequency as the engine speed source.

Power Up Delay
In some cases, the ECU takes longer than the DGC-2020ES to power up. The power up delay setting is
used to delay the initial pulsing of the ECU for data on DGC-2020ES power up. This setting ranges from 0
to 60 seconds in 1 second increments.

Fuel Level Function

This setting determines whether the fuel level indications and the related alarm and pre-alarm are
enabled or disabled. Setting selections include, Fuel Lvl (Fuel Level), Natural Gas, Liquid Propane, or
Disabled. Selecting a fuel type other than Fuel Lvl disables any fuel level indication, alarm, or pre-alarm.
This includes the Fuel Level value on the Metering Explorer, Engine screen in BESTCOMSPlus.

NFPA Compliance Level

The DGC-2020ES can be used in an application requiring compliance with NFPA Standard 110. Levels 1
and 2 of Standard 110 are supported. Selecting level 1 or 2 affects DGC-2020ES operation in the
following ways:
• The number of crank cycles is fixed at 3
• Crank cycle time is fixed at 15 seconds
• Continuous crank time is fixed at 45 seconds
• The low coolant temperature pre-alarm setting is fixed at 70°F

DGC-2020ES Configuration
154 9469200990 Rev D

EPS Supplying Load

EPS Supplying Load settings consist of Low Line Scale Factor and EPS Threshold. These settings are
described in the following paragraphs.

Low Line Scale Factor

Low Line Scale Factor automatically adjusts the EPS threshold setting in applications utilizing more than
one type of genset connection. The scale factor setting is implemented when the DGC-2020ES senses a
contact closure at a contact input programmed to activate scaling of the settings. The value of the scale
factor setting serves as a multiplier for the threshold setting. For example, if a scale factor contact input is
received by the DGC-2020ES and the scale factor setting is 2.000, the threshold setting is doubled (2.000
x Threshold setting).

EPS Threshold
Indication that the emergency power system is supplying load is determined by a user-adjustable
threshold setting. This setting is expressed as a percentage of the genset CT (nominal) primary rating.
This setting accepts values from 3 to 10, in increments of 1%.

System Units
Engine oil pressure and coolant temperature can be displayed in English or metric units of measure.

Metric Pressure Units

This setting allows engine oil pressure to be displayed in bar or kPa/MPa.

Rated frequency settings consist of 50 and 60 Hz.

Alternate Frequency
This setting accepts values from 10 to 450, in increments of 0.01.

Battery Volts
The nominal voltage of the starter battery is used by the DGC-2020ES to detect and annunciate battery
overvoltage and low or weak battery voltage. The Battery Volts settings consist of 12 V and 24 V.

Generator Connection
Genset connection types accommodated by the DGC-2020ES include three, three-phase connections
(delta, wye, and grounded delta) and a single-phase configuration (sensing across phases A and B.)

DGC-2020ES Configuration
156 9469200990 Rev D

Bus Connection
Bus connection types consist of single- and three-phase. Single-phase bus voltage is sensed across
phases A and B.

Phase Rotation
The Phase Rotation setting allows selection of ABC or CBA rotation according to the phase rotation
connection of the machine. The DGC-2020ES calculates the power angle as the angle between the
Phase AB voltage and phase B current. An angle compensation factor, determined by the phase rotation
setting, is then applied. If the actual phase rotation connection of the machine does not match the phase
rotation setting, calculation of the power angle will be incorrect, which may result in a miscalculation of
kW, kvar, and power factor.

Remote Module Setup

When the optional CEM-2020 is enabled, a J1939 address must be entered. Select the appropriate
number of outputs available on the CEM-2020. The low current module (CEM-2020) provides 24 contact
outputs and the high current module (CEM-2020H) provides 18 contact outputs.
The Remote Module Setup screen is found in the BESTCOMSPlus Settings Explorer under the System
Parameters category. If using the front panel, navigate to Settings > System Parameters > Remote
Module Setup.
The BESTCOMSPlus Remote Module Setup screen is illustrated in Figure 79.

Crank Settings
The Crank Settings consist of pre-start, restart, cranking, crank disconnect, and cooldown. These settings
are described in the paragraphs below.
The Crank Settings screen is found in the BESTCOMSPlus Settings Explorer under the System
Parameters category. If using the front panel, navigate to Settings > System Parameters > Crank
Settings.
The BESTCOMSPlus Crank Settings screen is illustrated in Figure 80.

Pre-Start
If desired, cycle or continuous cranking can be delayed after initiating engine startup. During this delay,
the Pre-Start output closes to energize glow plugs or pre-start the lubrication pump. The Pre-crank Delay
setting accepts values from 0 to 30, in increments of 1 second.
The Pre-Start output can be configured to open upon the conclusion of engine cranking or remain closed
as long as the engine is running.
The Pre-Start output can be configured during the resting state. If Preheat Before Crank is selected, the
Pre-Start output is closed for the duration of the Pre-crank Delay time prior to re-entering the cranking
state. If the Pre-crank delay setting is longer than the rest interval, the Pre-Start output is closed for the
entire duration of the rest time.

Restart
Attempting to start an engine after a normal shutdown but before the engine RPM has settled to zero can
stress an engine in certain situations. The Restart Delay inhibits attempts to start the engine immediately
after a normal shutdown for the duration of the Restart Delay timer. This delay should allow an engine to
properly spin down before attempting to restart. This setting accepts values from 0 to 120, in increments
of 1 second.

Cranking
The DGC-2020ES can be programmed for either cycle or continuous cranking.
Cycle cranking provides multiple engine starting attempts. Each starting attempt consists of a fixed
interval of engine cranking followed by a rest interval. The Number of Crank Cycles setting accepts values
from 1 to 7, in increments of 1. The Cycle Crank Time setting accepts values from 5 to 15, in increments
of 1 second.
Continuous cranking provides a single, extended engine-starting attempt. The Continuous Crank Time
setting accepts values from 5 to 60, in increments of 1 second.

DGC-2020ES Configuration
158 9469200990 Rev D

Crank Disconnect
Under normal operation, engine rpm is used to determine crank disconnect. The Crank Disconnect Limit
setting establishes the engine rpm percentage at which the starter is disconnected. This setting accepts
values from 10 to 100, in increments of 1 percent.
The Oil Pressure Crank Disconnect provides a secondary indication that the engine is running. This
ensures that the starter is disconnected, even if no engine rpm sources are functioning. When enabled, oil
pressure is used to determine if the engine is running. If the engine oil pressure is above the threshold,
the starter is disconnected from the engine. The Crank Disconnect Pressure threshold setting accepts
values from 2.9 to 150 psi, 0.2 to 10.3 bar, and 20 to 1,034.5 kPa, in increments of 0.1.

Cool Down
After the load is removed from a genset, the DGC-2020ES implements a smart cooldown function. This
function ensures that the engine and turbocharger properly cool down by maintaining engine operation for
a user-defined duration. The No Load Cool Down Time setting accepts values from 0 to 60, in increments
of 1 minute.
This cooldown function is initiated for any one of the following conditions:
• Genset load is removed and engine shutdown is permitted while in AUTO mode
• Auto Transfer switch (ATS) opens while operating in AUTO mode
• Remote shutdown is initiated while in AUTO mode
• Off Mode Cooldown is initiated
• The Cooldown Request logic element is initiated
• The Cool and Stop Request logic element is initiated

Smart Cooldown Function

The smart cooldown function reduces unnecessary fuel expenditure by considering overall cooldown time
through multiple requests. For example, a new cooldown request is initiated after a previous cooldown
sequence has already started. The cooldown timer is not simply reset with each new request. Instead, the
amount of time that the engine has spent cooling down is factored into the new request. This saves time
and fuel by running the engine no longer than necessary to achieve proper cooldown.

Automatic Restart
When enabled, the Automatic Restart clears all alarms automatically if the DGC-2020ES shuts down due
to an alarm condition. An attempt to restart the engine is made, after a predetermined time delay, if the
ATS contact input is closed. If an ATS contact is not present, the unit remains in the READY state with
alarms cleared. A restart is not attempted if a low fuel alarm or emergency stop is present. The number of
restart attempts is programmable. Automatic restart attempts are recorded in the event log.
The Auto Restart Interval setting accepts values from 0.5 to 30, in increments of 0.5 minutes. The Auto
Restart Attempts setting accepts values from 1 to 10, in increments of 1.
The Automatic Restart screen is found in the BESTCOMSPlus Settings Explorer under the System
Parameters category. If using the front panel, navigate to Settings > System Parameters > Automatic
Restart.
The BESTCOMSPlus Automatic Restart screen is illustrated in Figure 81.

Figure 81. Settings Explorer, System Parameters, Automatic Restart Screen

Exercise Timer
The exercise timer is used to start the genset at a predetermined time and run for a user-defined period.
The mode defines how often the genset will run. If monthly is selected, the day of the month to start must
also be selected. If weekly is selected, the day of the week to start must also be selected. Settings for
Start Hour and Start Minute can also be defined. The Run Period Hours and Minutes define how long the
genset will run each session. The Start Hour and Run Period Hours settings accept values from 0 to 23,
in increments of 1 hour. The Start Minute and Run Period Minutes settings accept values from 0 to 59, in
increments of 1. If Run with Load is enabled, the DGC-2020ES closes the generator breaker during the
run time.
Contact inputs and outputs can be assigned to this function. Refer to the BESTlogicPlus chapter for more
information.
The Exercise Timer screen is found in the BESTCOMSPlus Settings Explorer under the System
Parameters category. If using the front panel, navigate to Settings > System Parameters > Exercise

Sensing Transformers
Three sets of transformer settings configure the DGC-2020ES for operation with a specific system. These
settings, along with the generator voltage, generator current, and bus voltage detected by the DGC-
2020ES, enable it to accurately meter system values and offer generator protection.
The Sensing Transformers screen is found in the BESTCOMSPlus Settings Explorer under the System
Parameters category. If using the front panel, navigate to Settings > System Parameters > Sensing
Transformers.
When adjusting these settings using BESTCOMSPlus, click the Rated Data button. See Rated Data,
above, for more information.

Generator PT
The generator PT settings establish the nominal primary (generator side) and secondary (DGC-2020ES
side) voltage levels at the generator voltage-sensing transformer. The Generator PT Primary setting
accepts values from 1 to 99,999, in increments of 1. The Generator PT Secondary setting accepts values
from 1 to 480, in increments of 1.

Bus PT
Primary and secondary bus transformer ratings are used by the optional automatic transfer switch
function. This function monitors a three-phase bus input to detect mains failure. The primary setting
establishes the nominal voltage present at phases A, B, and, C of the bus. This setting accepts values
from 1 to 99,999, in increments of 1. The secondary setting establishes the nominal voltage detected at
the bus voltage input of the DGC-2020ES. This setting accepts values from 1 to 480, in increments of 1.

Generator CT
The generator CT setting establishes the nominal, primary (generator side) current level at the generator
current sensing transformer. This setting accepts values from 1 to 9,999, in increments of 1. The
secondary value of the generator CT is dictated by the style number of the controller. A DGC-2020ES
with a style number of 1xx uses a nominal CT secondary rating of 1 Aac. A DGC-2020ES with a style
number of 5xx uses a nominal CT secondary rating of 5 Aac.
The Gen CT Low Line Scale Factor setting is used to automatically adjust the Gen CT Primary Amps
setting in applications that may utilize more than one type of genset connection. This setting accepts a

Configuration DGC-2020ES
9469200990 Rev D 161

value from 0.001 to 3, in increments of 0.001. The scale factor setting is implemented when the DGC-
2020ES senses a contact closure at a contact input programmed to activate scaling of the settings. The
value of the scale factor setting serves as a multiplier for the Gen CT Primary Amps setting. For example,
if a scale factor contact input is received by the DGC-2020ES and the scale factor setting is 2.000, the
Gen CT Primary Amps setting is doubled (2.000 x Gen CT Primary Amps).

Relay Control
The default operational setting for the Start, Run, and Pre-start relays is Predefined or standard. Any of
these relays can be logic driven by selecting the Programmable setting. Logic driven (programmable
relays must be set up using BESTlogicPlus.
The Relay Control screen is found in the BESTCOMSPlus Settings Explorer under the System
Parameters category. If using the front panel, navigate to Settings > System Parameters > Relay Control.
The BESTCOMSPlus Relay Control screen is illustrated in Figure 83.

Figure 83. Settings Explorer, System Parameters, Relay Control Screen

System Configuration Detection

When enabled, this feature allows the DGC-2020ES to automatically detect its sensing configuration in
relation to the generator. Upon starting the genset, the configuration of the generator is automatically
detected. The Single Phase Override and Low Line Override programmable function settings are then
adjusted accordingly.
There is a one-second delay in the detection to prevent the DGC-2020ES from alternating between
detected configurations. When the DGC-2020ES is in the Off mode or the engine is not running, the
Automatic Configuration Detection function is disabled. The DGC-2020ES is assumed to be in the last
valid automatically detected configuration.
It is recommended that the Single Phase Override and Low Line Override programmable functions are
not assigned to contact inputs when Automatic Configuration Detection is enabled.

Single Phase Detect Threshold

If the difference between the maximum and minimum line-to-line voltage exceeds this threshold, the unit
is determined to be in single-phase configuration. If determined to be in single-phase configuration, the
Single Phase Override programmable function forces the DGC-2020ES into single-phase mode. The
single-phase mode connection is determined by the Single Phase Detect Generator Connection, below.
If the Single Phase Override function is assigned to a contact output, the state of the contact output and
the detected configuration are ORed. This means, if one or both are true, then the system is determined
to be configured for single phase.

Low Line Detect Threshold

If the average of the valid line-to-line voltages for the detected configuration is above this threshold, the
unit is determined to be in a high-line configuration. If the average is below this threshold, it is determined

DGC-2020ES Configuration
162 9469200990 Rev D

to be in a low-line configuration. If determined to be in low-line configuration, the Low-Line Override

function forces the DGC-2020ES into the low-line configuration.
If the Low-Line Override function is assigned to a contact output, the state of the contact output and the
detected configuration are ORed. This means, if one or both are true, then the system is determined to be
configured for low-line.

Single Phase Detect Generator Connection

This setting specifies which single-phase connection to use when the system is determined to be single-
phase. Single-phase AB or Single-phase AC can be selected.
The Auto Config Detection screen is found in the BESTCOMSPlus Settings Explorer under the System
Parameters category. If using the front panel, navigate to Settings > System Parameters > Auto Config
Detect. The BESTCOMSPlus Auto Config Detection screen is illustrated in Figure 84.

Passwords can be changed only after communication between the PC and DGC-2020ES is established.
Changes to passwords are made through the Device Security Setup screen. Use the Settings Explorer in
BESTCOMSPlus to open the General Settings, Device Security Setup screen.
The content of the Device Security Setup screen depends on the password level used when accessing
the screen. For example, someone logged in with a settings-access password will be able to change only
the settings-access and operator-access passwords - not the OEM-access password.
The BESTCOMSPlus Device Security Setup screen is illustrated in Figure 85. All three access levels are
shown.
A password is changed by clicking on the access level, entering the new password, and then clicking on
the Save Password button. DGC-2020ES passwords are case sensitive.

Saving Passwords in a DGC-2020ES Settings File

The passwords can be modified while BESTCOMSPlus is connected to a DGC-2020ES. The settings
from the BESTCOMSPlus session can then be saved into a settings file. The settings file will contain the
new passwords. Also, the passwords in a settings file can be modified off line, saved with the file, and
then later loaded into a DGC-2020ES.

Timekeeping
The DGC-2020ES provides a real-time clock with capacitor backup that is capable of operating the clock
for up to 24 hours after power is removed from the controller. As the capacitor nears depletion, an internal
backup battery takes over and maintains timekeeping. The battery will maintain the clock for
approximately ten years depending on conditions. The battery is not replaceable.
The clock is used by the events recorder function to time-stamp events and the exercise timer to start and
stop the genset when the exercise feature is utilized.

Clock Setup
®
Clock settings are made through the communication ports using BESTCOMSPlus or through the front-
panel interface. Write access to ports is required to program the clock. An alarm is provided to detect
when the DGC-2020ES has powered up and the clock has not been set.
The clock settings are made through BESTCOMSPlus by selecting Clock Setup under General Settings.
If using the front panel, navigate to Settings > General Settings > Configure Date/Time.
The BESTCOMSPlus Clock Setup screen is illustrated in Figure 86. Settings are listed in Table 31.
The local time zone is configured on this screen. The Time Zone Offset is the local offset to UTC

Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Maintenance
Preventive maintenance consists of periodically checking that the connections between the 7BDGC-
2020ES and the system are clean and tight. Periodically check that the mounting hardware is clean and
fastened with the proper amount of torque. 7BDGC-2020ES units are manufactured using state-of-the-art,
surface-mount technology. These components are encased in potting material. As such, Basler Electric
recommends that no repair procedures be attempted by anyone other than Basler Electric personnel.

Storage
This device contains long-life aluminum electrolytic capacitors. For devices that are not in service (spares
in storage), the life of these capacitors can be maximized by energizing the device for 30 minutes once
per year.

Troubleshooting
If you do not get the results that you expect from the 7BDGC-2020ES, first check the programmable
settings for the appropriate function. Use the following troubleshooting procedures when difficulties are
encountered in the operation of your genset control system.

Step 1: Verify that there is a 120-ohm termination resistor on each end of the bus section of the wiring,
and that there are not any termination resistors at any node connections that are on stubs from
the main bus.
Step 2: Check all CAN wiring for loose connections and verify that the CAN H and CAN L wires have
not gotten switched somewhere on the network.
Step 3: Verify that the cable length of the bus section of the wiring does not exceed 40 meters (131
feet), and verify that any stubs from the main bus do not exceed 3 meters (9.8 feet) in length.
Step 4: If the engine is equipped with a Volvo or MTU ECU, verify that the ECU Configuration setting is
set to match the actual ECU configuration.

Inputs and Outputs

Programmable Inputs Do Not Operate as Expected
Step 1. Verify that all wiring is properly connected. Refer to the Typical Connections chapter.
Step 2. Confirm that the inputs are programmed properly.
Step 3. Ensure that the input at the 7BDGC-2020ES is actually connected to the BATT– terminal (17).

Step 2. Confirm that the outputs are programmed properly.

7BDGC-2020ES Maintenance and Troubleshooting

170 9469200990 Rev D

Metering/Display
Incorrect Display of Battery Voltage, Coolant Temperature, Oil Pressure, or Fuel Level
Step 1. Verify that all wiring is properly connected. Refer to the Typical Connections chapter.
Step 2. Confirm that the SENDER COM terminal (2) is connected to the negative battery terminal and
the engine-block side of the senders. Current from other devices sharing this connection can
cause erroneous readings.
Step 3. If the displayed battery voltage is incorrect, ensure that the proper voltage is present between
the BATT+ terminal (18) and the SENDER COM terminal (2).
Step 4. Verify that the correct senders are being used.
Step 5. Use a voltmeter connected between the BATT– terminal (17) and the SENDER COM terminal
(2) on the DGC 2020 to verify that there is no voltage difference at any time. Any voltage
differences may manifest themselves as erratic sender readings. Wiring should be corrected so
that no differences exist.
Step 6: Check the sender wiring and isolate sender wiring from any of the ac wiring in the system. The
sender wiring should be located away from any power ac wiring from the generator and any
ignition wiring. Separate conduits should be used for sender wiring and any ac wiring.

Incorrect Display of Generator Voltage

Step 1. Verify that all wiring is properly connected. Refer to the Typical Connections chapter.
Step 2. Ensure that the proper voltage is present at the 7BDGC-2020ES voltage sensing inputs (40, 41,
43, and 45).
Step 3. Verify that the voltage transformer ratio and sensing configuration is correct.
Step 4. Confirm that the voltage sensing transformers are correct and properly installed.

Incorrect Measurement or Display of Generator Current

Step 1. Verify that all wiring is properly connected. Refer to the Typical Connections chapter.
Step 2. Ensure that the proper current is present at the 7BDGC-2020ES current sensing inputs 33, 34,
35, 36, 37, and 38.
Step 3. Verify that the current sensing transformer ratios are correct.
Step 4. Confirm that the current sensing transformers are correct and properly installed.

Incorrect Display of Engine RPM

Step 1. Verify that all wiring is properly connected. Refer to the Typical Connections chapter.
Step 2. Verify that the flywheel teeth setting is correct.
Step 3. Verify that the prime mover governor is operating properly.
Step 4. Verify that the measured frequency of the voltage at the MPU input (31 and 32) is correct.
Step 5. If the MPU is shared with the governor, verify that the polarity of the MPU input to the governor
matches the polarity of the MPU input to the 7BDGC-2020ES.

7BDGC-2020ES Indicates Incorrect Power Factor

Check the rotation of the machine and the labeling of the A-B-C terminals. The machine must be rotating
in the same phase sequence as dictated by the generator phase rotation setting for correct power factor
metering. A power factor indication of 0.5 with resistive load present is a symptom of incorrect phase
rotation.

BREAKER screen and set DEAD BUS CL ENBL to ENABLE.
Step 4: Verify that the Generator status is stable. The breaker will not close if the generator status is
not stable. Check status by using the Metering Explorer in BESTCOMSPlus and verify that
when the generator is running, the GEN STABLE status LED is lit. If necessary, modify the
settings on the SETTINGS > BREAKER MANAGEMENT > BUS CONDITION DETECTION
screen.
Step 5: Verify the bus status is DEAD. Check status by using the Metering Explorer in BESTCOMSPlus
and verify that when the generator is running, the BUS DEAD status LED is lit. If necessary,
modify the settings on the SETTINGS > BREAKER MANAGEMENT > BUS CONDITION
DETECTION screen.
Step 6: Verify the connections in BESTlogicPlus Programmable Logic to the generator breaker logic
element. The Status input must be driven by an “A” or normally open contact from the generator
breaker. The OPEN and CLOSE command inputs on the left side of the logic block are inputs
for open and close commands. These can be wired to physical inputs if it is desired to have
open and close command switches. If they are wired, they must either be pulsed inputs, or
some logic must be employed so that the open and close command inputs are never driven at
the same time. If these are both driven at the same time, the breaker is receiving open and
close commands simultaneously. The breaker will not change state if it is being commanded to
open and close at the same time.
Step 7: Verify the breaker is receiving a close command. Breaker close command sources are:
• The 7BDGC-2020ES itself when the automatic mains fail transfer (ATS) feature is enabled.
• The 7BDGC-2020ES itself when the RUN WITH LOAD logic element receives a Start pulse
in the programmable logic.
• The 7BDGC-2020ES itself when started from the Exercise Timer and the Run with Load
box is checked in the Generator Exerciser settings.
• Manual Breaker Close Input Contacts applied to the Open and Close inputs on the left side
of the Generator Breaker logic element in the programmable logic.
Step 8: Verify the wiring to the breaker from the 7BDGC-2020ES. If it seems OK, you can do a manual
close and open by modifying the programmable logic. Map some unused outputs to the OPEN
and CLOSE outputs from the Gen Breaker Block in the programmable logic. Map a virtual
switch to the logic output that would normally be the breaker open output. Map another virtual
switch to the logic output that would normally be the breaker close output. Connect with
BESTCOMSPlus, and exercise the virtual switches using the Control panel located in the
Metering Explorer. Never turn open and close on at the same time. This could damage the
breaker and/or motor operator. If everything is working as expected, restore the logic to its
original diagram.

Generator Breaker Does Not Open When It Should

Step 1: Review the description of how the generator breaker logic element functions contained in the
GENBRK logic element description in the BESTlogicPlus chapter.
Step 2: Review the section on breaker operation requests in the Breaker Management chapter.
Step 3: Verify the connections in BESTlogicPlus Programmable Logic to the generator breaker logic
element. The Status input must be driven by an “A” or normally open contact from the generator
breaker. The OPEN and CLOSE command inputs on the left side of the logic block are inputs
for open and close commands. These can be wired to physical inputs if it is desired to have
open and close command switches. If they are wired, they must either be pulsed inputs, or
some logic must be employed so that the open and close command inputs are never driven at
the same time. If these are both driven at the same time, the breaker is receiving open and
close commands simultaneously. The breaker will not change state if it is being commanded to
open and close at the same time.
Step 4: Verify the breaker is receiving an open command. Breaker open command sources are:
• The 7BDGC-2020ES itself when the automatic transfer (ATS) feature is enabled.
• The 7BDGC-2020ES itself when the RUN WITH LOAD logic element receives a Stop pulse
in the programmable logic.
• The 7BDGC-2020ES itself when shutting down the engine due to an active alarm.
• The 7BDGC-2020ES itself when ending a run session from the Exercise Timer and the Run
with Load box is checked in the Generator Exerciser settings.
• Manual Breaker Open Input Contacts applied to the Open and Close inputs on the left side
of the Generator Breaker logic element in the programmable logic.
Step 5: Verify the wiring to the breaker from the 7BDGC-2020ES. If it seems OK, you can do a manual
close and open by modifying the programmable logic. Map some unused outputs to the OPEN
and CLOSE outputs from the Gen Breaker Block in the programmable logic. Map a virtual
switch to the logic output that would normally be the breaker open output. Map another virtual
switch to the logic output that would normally be the breaker close output. Connect with
BESTCOMSPlus, and exercise the virtual switches using the Control panel located in the
Metering Explorer. Never turn open and close on at the same time. This could damage the
breaker and/or motor operator. If everything is working as expected, restore the logic to its
original diagram.

Mains Breaker Does Not Open When Mains Fails

Step 1: Verify that a Mains Breaker has been configured by examining the settings on the SETTINGS >
BREAKER MANAGEMENT > BREAKER HARDWARE screen.
Step 2: Verify the mains breaker has been correctly included in the programmable logic.
Step 3: Verify that the MAINS FAIL TRANSFER parameter is set to ENABLE on the SETTINGS >
BREAKER MANAGEMENT > BREAKER HARDWARE screen.
Step 4: Verify that a failure of the mains is detected by the 7BDGC-2020ES. Check status using the
Metering Explorer in BESTCOMSPlus and verify that the MAINS FAIL status LED is lit when
the power on the 7BDGC-2020ES bus voltage input is either out of voltage or frequency range.
If necessary, modify the settings on the SETTINGS > BREAKER MANAGEMENT > BUS
CONDITION DETECTION screen to achieve correct detection.
Step 5: Verify the wiring to the breaker from the 7BDGC-2020ES. If it seems OK, you can do a manual
close and open by modifying the programmable logic. Map some unused outputs to the OPEN
and CLOSE outputs from the Gen Breaker Block in the programmable logic. Map a virtual
switch to the logic output that would normally be the breaker close output. Map another virtual
switch to the logic output that would normally be the breaker close output. Connect with
BESTCOMSPlus, and exercise the virtual switches using the Control panel located in the
Metering Explorer. Never turn open and close on at the same time. This could damage the

breaker and/or motor operator. If everything is working as expected, restore the logic to its
original diagram.

Mains Breaker Does Not Close After Mains Returns

Step 1: Verify that a Mains Breaker has been configured by examining the settings on the SETTINGS >
BREAKER MANAGEMENT > BREAKER HARDWARE screen.
Step 2: Verify the mains breaker has been correctly included in the programmable logic.
Step 3: Verify that the MAINS FAIL TRANSFER parameter is set to ENABLE on the SETTINGS >
BREAKER MANAGEMENT > BREAKER HARDWARE screen.
Step 4: Verify that stable mains power is detected by the 7BDGC-2020ES. Check status using the
Metering Explorer in BESTCOMSPlus and verify that the MAINS STABLE status LED is lit
when the power on the 7BDGC-2020ES bus voltage input is good. If necessary, modify the
settings on the SETTINGS > BREAKER MANAGEMENT > BUS CONDITION DETECTION
screen to achieve correct detection.
Step 5: Verify the wiring to the breaker from the 7BDGC-2020ES. If it seems OK, you can do a manual
close and open by modifying the programmable logic. Map some unused outputs to the OPEN
and CLOSE outputs from the Gen Breaker Block in the programmable logic. Map a virtual
switch to the logic output that would normally be the breaker open output. Map another virtual
switch to the logic output that would normally be the breaker close output. Connect with
BESTCOMSPlus, and exercise the virtual switches using the Control panel located in the
Metering Explorer. Never turn open and close on at the same time. This could damage the
breaker and/or motor operator. If everything is working as expected, restore the logic to its
original diagram.

HALT (Highly Accelerated Life Testing)

HALT is used by Basler Electric to prove that our products will provide the user with many years of
reliable service. HALT subjects the device to extremes in temperature, shock, and vibration to simulate
years of operation, but in a much shorter period span. HALT allows Basler Electric to evaluate all possible
design elements that will add to the life of this device. As an example of some of the extreme testing
conditions, the DGC-2020ES was subjected to temperature tests (tested over a temperature range of
–100°C to +130°C), vibration tests (of 5 to 50 G at +20°C), and temperature/vibration tests (tested at 50 G
over a temperature range of –95°C to +125°C). Combined temperature and vibration testing at these
extremes proves that the DGC-2020ES is expected to provide long-term operation in a rugged
environment. Note that the vibration and temperature extremes listed in this paragraph are specific to
HALT and do not reflect recommended operation levels.

Contact Inputs
The CEM-2020 contains 10 programmable inputs that accept dry contacts.
Time from a CEM-2020 input application to:
• Shut down the generator via an alarm = 700 ms max
• Close a relay on board the DGC-2020ES = 300 ms max
• Close a relay on board the CEM-2020 = 550 ms max

Notes
A CEM-2020 contact input is true (on) if the input is connected to
battery ground with a resistance of less than 200 ohms.
The maximum length of wire that can be accommodated depends on
the resistance of the wire, and the resistance of the contacts of the
device driving the input at the far end of the wire.
The maximum wire length can be calculated as follows:
Lmax = (200 – Rdevice)/(Resistance per Foot of Desired Wire)

HALT (Highly Accelerated Lift Testing)

HALT is used by Basler Electric to prove that our products will provide the user with many years of
reliable service. HALT subjects the device to extremes in temperature, shock, and vibration to simulate
years of operation, but in a much shorter period span. HALT allows Basler Electric to evaluate all possible
design elements that will add to the life of this device. As an example of some of the extreme testing
conditions, the CEM-2020 was subjected to temperature tests (tested over a temperature range of –80°C
to +130°C), vibration tests (of 5 to 50 G at +25°C), and temperature/vibration tests (tested at 10 to 20 G
over a temperature range of –60°C to +100°C). Combined temperature and vibration testing at these
extremes proves that the CEM-2020 is expected to provide long-term operation in a rugged environment.
Note that the vibration and temperature extremes listed in this paragraph are specific to HALT and do not
reflect recommended operation levels. These operational ratings are included in this section.

Installation
Contact Expansion Modules are delivered in sturdy cartons to prevent shipping damage. Upon receipt of
a module, check the part number against the requisition and packing list for agreement. Inspect for
damage, and if there is evidence of such, immediately file a claim with the carrier and notify the Basler
Electric regional sales office or your sales representative.
If the device is not installed immediately, store it in the original shipping package in a moisture- and dust-
free environment.

Mounting
Contact Expansion Modules are contained in a potted plastic case and may be mounted in any
convenient position. The construction of a Contact Expansion Module is durable enough to mount directly
on a genset using ¼-inch hardware. Hardware selection should be based on any expected
shipping/transportation and operating conditions. The torque applied to the mounting hardware should not
exceed 65 in-lb (7.34 N•m).
See Figure 88 for CEM-2020 overall dimensions. All dimensions are shown in inches with millimeters in
brackets.

Connections
Contact Expansion Module connections are dependent on the application. Incorrect wiring may result in
damage to the module.

Note
Operating power from the battery must be of the correct polarity.
Although reverse polarity will not cause damage, the CEM-2020 will
not operate.
Be sure that the CEM-2020 is hard-wired to earth ground with no
smaller than 12 AWG copper wire attached to the chassis ground
terminal on the module.

Terminations
The terminal interface consists of plug-in connectors with screw-down compression terminals.
CEM-2020 connections are made with one 5-position connector, two 18-position connectors, and two 24-
position connectors with screw-down compression terminals. These connectors plug into headers on the
CEM-2020. The connectors and headers have dovetailed edges that ensure proper connector orientation.
The connectors and headers are uniquely keyed to ensure that the connectors mate only with the correct
2
headers. Connector screw terminals accept a maximum wire size of 12 AWG (3.31 mm ). Maximum
screw torque is 5 inch-pounds (0.56 N•m).

DGC-2020ES CEM-2020

Operating Power
The Contact Expansion Module operating power input accepts either 12 Vdc or 24 Vdc and tolerates
voltage over the range of 6 to 32 Vdc. Operating power must be of the correct polarity. Although reverse
polarity will not cause damage, the CEM-2020 will not operate. Operating power terminals are listed in
Table 32.
It is recommended that a fuse be added for additional protection for the wiring to the battery input of the
Contact Expansion Module. A Bussmann ABC-7 fuse or equivalent is recommended.

CAN Interface
These terminals provide communication using the SAE J1939 protocol and provide high-speed
communication between the Contact Expansion Module and the DGC-2020ES. Connections between the
CEM-2020 and DGC-2020ES should be made with twisted-pair, shielded cable. CAN interface terminals
are listed in Table 33. Refer to Figure 92 and Figure 93.

Notes
1. If the CEM-2020 is providing one end of the J1939 bus, a 120 Ω,
½ watt terminating resistor should be installed across terminals
P1- LO (CANL) and P1- HI (CANH).
2. If the CEM-2020 is not part of the J1939 bus, the stub connecting
the CEM-2020 to the bus should not exceed 914 mm (3 ft) in
length.
3. The maximum bus length, not including stubs, is 40 m (131 ft).
4. The J1939 drain (shield) should be grounded at one point only. If
grounded elsewhere, do not connect the drain to the CEM-2020.

Remote Contact Input Configuration

The CEM-2020 provides 10 contact inputs. Each of the 10 contact inputs can be independently
configured to annunciate an alarm or pre-alarm when the input senses a contact closure. A user-
adjustable time delay can be set to delay recognition of a contact input. By default, all inputs are
configured so that they do not trigger an alarm or pre-alarm.
To make identifying the contact inputs easier, a user-assigned name can be given to each input.
Contacts can be recognized always or only while the engine is running.
The remote contact inputs are incorporated into a BESTlogicPlus programmable logic scheme by
selecting them from the I/O group in BESTlogicPlus. For more details, refer to the BESTlogicPlus chapter.
Remote contact input status is available in BESTlogicPlus Programmable Logic when “None” is selected
for Alarm Configuration.
The Remote Contact Inputs screen is found in the BESTCOMSPlus Settings Explorer under the
Programmable Inputs category. If using the front panel, navigate to Settings > Programmable Inputs >
Configurable Inputs. The BESTCOMSPlus Remote Contact Inputs screen is illustrated in Figure 94.

Exhaust Treatment
Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
In order to meet Tier 4 emission requirements, some engine manufacturers are applying Diesel
Particulate Filters (DPF) to the exhaust system of the engine. A Diesel Particulate Filter traps particulate
matter contained in diesel exhaust and prevents it from distributing into the air. The particulate matter is
later burned off during a regeneration process.
The DGC-2020ES communicates DPF control and status information to and from the engine ECU via
J1939 communications in the form of various Parameter Group Numbers (PGN) and Suspect Parameter
Numbers (SPN). These are summarized in the following paragraphs.

Regeneration
Regeneration is accomplished by operating the engine at elevated exhaust temperatures where the
accumulated particulate is burned off. If, in normal operation, the engine can be loaded to a high enough
level to achieve the elevated exhaust temperature, then regeneration can occur as a part of normal
operation. This is known as passive regeneration.
High exhaust temperatures can also be accomplished by methods such as providing dampers in the
exhaust stream or heating the exhaust through the burning of fuel. This is known as active regeneration
since it is outside of normal engine operation.
Heavily loaded engines will seldom require active regeneration. A lightly loaded engine will likely undergo
active regeneration when regeneration is required.

DPF Control
DPF control information is sent from the DGC-2020ES to the Engine ECU through PGN Number 57244
(0xE000). A manual regeneration request is sent using SPN 3695, Diesel Particulate Filter Regeneration
Force Switch. Regeneration can be inhibited by SPN 3695, Diesel Particulate Filter Regeneration Inhibit
Switch.

Manual Regeneration
The operator can force a regeneration cycle by turning on the Manual Regeneration setting found on the
front panel under Settings > Communication > CANBus Setup > ECU Setup > DPF Regenerate Setup.
The parameter will remain on for a few seconds then go off. The ECU will respond to the momentary
setting by logging the request to force a manual regeneration. A continuous request is not used because
this can be problematic for some engine ECUs.
Manual regeneration can also be initiated by clicking the Manual Regeneration button on the ECU Setup
®
screen in BESTCOMSPlus . BESTlogic™Plus programmable logic can also be used to initiate manual
regeneration by setting the DPF Manual Regeneration (DPFMANREGEN) logic element true.

Regeneration Inhibit
The operator can inhibit regeneration by turning on the DPF Regeneration Disable setting found on the
ECU Setup screen in BESTCOMSPlus.
Regeneration can also be disabled by turning on the Disable Regeneration setting on the ECU Setup
screen in BESTCOMSPlus.
BESTlogicPlus programmable logic can also be used to inhibit regeneration by setting the DPF
Regeneration Inhibit (DPFREGENINHIBIT) logic element true.

DPF Status and Pre-Alarms

The DGC-2020ES receives DPF status information which is broadcast from the engine ECU in various
Parameter Group Numbers (PGN) and Suspect Parameter Numbers (SPN). The DGC-2020ES displays
this information on the front panel, and in BESTCOMSPlus, via DPF related pre-alarms. The J1939
parameters and the resulting DGC-2020ES pre-alarms are summarized in the following paragraphs.
• PGN 64892 (0xFD7C) Diesel Particulate Filter Control 1
o SPN 3697, Diesel Particulate Filter Lamp Command
DPF REGEN REQUIRED Pre-Alarm: When SPN 3697 has a
value of 1 or 4 indicating the DPF lamp is on, the DGC-2020ES
will annunciate a pre-alarm with text of DPF REGEN REQUIRED.
The DPF symbol, shown to the right, will accompany the text
when the pre-alarm appears on the DGC-2020ES front panel.
o SPN 3698, Exhaust System High Temperature Lamp Command
HIGH EXHAUST TEMP Pre-Alarm: When SPN 3698 has a value
of 1 indicating the high exhaust temperature lamp is on, the DGC-
2020ES will annunciate a pre-alarm with text of HIGH EXHAUST
TEMP. The high exhaust temperature symbol, shown to the right,
will accompany the text when the pre-alarm appears on the DGC-
2020ES front panel.
o SPN 3703 Diesel Particulate Filter Active Regeneration Inhibited Due to Inhibit Switch
DPF REGEN INHIBITED Pre-Alarm: When SPN 3703 has a value
of 1 indicating the DPF Regeneration is inhibited due to the inhibit
switch being set, the DGC-2020ES will annunciate a pre-alarm
with text of DPF REGEN INHBTD. The DPF regeneration inhibited
symbol, shown to the right, will accompany the text when the pre-
alarm appears on the DGC-2020ES front panel.
• DPF Soot Level Annunciation via Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) SPN 3719 Diesel Particulate Filter
Soot Load Percent
In addition to the standard diagnostic trouble code annunciation, the DGC-2020ES will
annunciate a pre-alarm under circumstances described below.
o FMI = 15: Data Valid But Above Normal Operating Range Least Severe Level
DPF SOOT LEVEL HIGH Pre-Alarm: When the FMI is equal to 15,
the DGC-2020ES will annunciate a pre-alarm with text of DPF
SOOT LVL HI. The DPF symbol, shown to the right, will
accompany the text when the pre-alarm appears on the DGC-
2020ES front panel.
o FMI = 16: Data Valid But Above Normal Operating Range Moderately Severe Level
DPF SOOT LEVEL MODERATELY HIGH Pre-Alarm: When the
FMI is equal to 16, the DGC-2020ES will annunciate a pre-alarm
with text of DPF SOOT LVL MOD HI. The DPF warning symbol,
shown to the right, will accompany the text when the pre-alarm
appears on the DGC-2020ES front panel.
o FMI = 0: Data Valid But Above Normal Operating Range Most Severe Level
DPF SOOT LEVEL EXTREMELY HIGH Pre-Alarm: When the FMI
is equal to 0, the DGC-2020ES will annunciate a pre-alarm with
text of DPF SOOT LVL EXT HI. The DPF stop symbol, shown to
the right, will accompany the text when the pre-alarm appears on
the DGC-2020ES front panel. If the DPF soot level reaches the
most severe level, the engine ECU may shut the engine down and
prevent it from running or it may allow it to run, but at a reduced

power level. The DGC-2020ES only indicates a pre-alarm. It does not prevent the engine
from running or cause operation at a reduced power level, but the operator should be aware
that the engine ECU or after treatment system may cause such behavior.

Exhaust After-Treatment Systems (EATS)

In order to meet Tier 4 emission requirements, some engine manufacturers are adding Exhaust After
Treatment Systems (EATS) which treat the engine exhaust within the exhaust system to reduce
particulate matter and harmful contaminants prior to releasing the exhaust into the atmosphere. One such
system uses urea-based Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) catalyst which is combined with the exhaust gasses
in the EATS to bring the emissions to acceptable levels.
The DGC-2020ES meters EATS information from the engine ECU via J1939 CANBus and
displays the DEF level within the DEF tank(s), and also displays several pre-alarms
related to the EATS system. Any DEF related pre-alarms annunciated on the front panel
display the symbol used for DEF functions which is shown to the right.
Most systems will contain one DEF tank, while some may contain two tanks. The DGC-2020ES front
panel displays the level of DEF in each tank under Metering > Alarms-Status > J1939 Status > DEF
Tank1 LVL% and Metering > Alarms-Status > J1939 Status > DEF Tank2 LVL%. The tank 1 level is sent
from the ECU via SPN 1761 in J1939 PGN 65110 - After Treatment 1 Reagent Tank 1 Information. The
tank 2 level is sent from the ECU via SPN 4367 in J1939 PGN 64829 - After Treatment 1 Reagent Tank 2
Information. The tank levels are expressed in units of percent.

Pre-Alarms
The ECU sends DEF level diagnostics to the DGC as SPNs 5245 and 5246 in PGN 65110 (the AT1TI
PGN). SPN 5245 communicated DEF level diagnostics, whereas SPN 5246 communicates DEF
inducement level status.
There are several pre-alarms related to the EATS which annunciate DEF level diagnostics and DEF
inducement level status. They are always enabled and will annunciate when received from the engine
ECU. Each of them contains the symbol for DEF functions when annunciated on the front panel; however
it will not be displayed in BESTCOMSPlus. The pre-alarms are summarized in the following paragraphs.
• DEF FLUID LOW: This pre-alarm displays when SPN 5245 has a value of 1, indicating that the DEF
tank level is low. A DEF level of 8% to 23% causes this annunciation.
• DEF FLUID EMPTY: This pre-alarm displays when SPN 5245 has a value of 4, indicating that the
DEF tank level is low. The low condition is announced when the tank level is below 8%. When this
occurs and is not remedied, the engine ECU may enter a mode of inducement not to operate the
engine where some of the conditions in the pre-alarms descriptions below may occur.
• DEF ENGINE DERATE: This pre-alarm displays when SPN 5246 has a value of 3, indicating the
Engine Derate level of inducement. This indicates that the engine is going into a reduced power mode
indicating the lowest level of inducement not to operate the engine when the EATS is not functioning
properly or out of DEF.
• DEF PRESEVERE INDUCEMENT: This pre-alarm displays when SPN 5246 has a value of 4,
indicating the Pre-Severe Inducement level of inducement. This indicates that the engine has entered
the second highest level of inducement not to operate the engine when the EATS is not functioning
properly or the DEF level is low. The ECU will allow the engine to run for a maximum of 3 hours in
this condition. After expiration of the 3 hours, the engine will enter the severe inducement state and
cannot be restarted until the DEF level is raised above 14%.
• DEF SEVERE INDUCEMENT: This pre-alarm displays when SPN 5246 has a value of 5, indicating
the Severe Inducement level of inducement. This indicates that the engine has entered the highest
level of inducement not to operate the engine when the EATS is not functioning properly or DEF level
is low. The ECU will allow the engine to run for a maximum of 3 hours in this condition. After
expiration of the 3 hours, the engine will enter the severe inducement state and cannot be restarted
until the DEF level is raised above 14%.

DGC-2020ES Exhaust Treatment

222 9469200990 Rev D

• DEF INDUCEMENT OVERRIDE: This pre-alarm displays when SPN 5246 has a value of 6, indicating
the Temporary Override of inducement. This indicates DEF inducement is temporarily overridden.
The engine may operate with reduced power, or for a limited time, after which time it may re-enter the
SEVERE INDUCEMENT state.

Exit Conditions for DEF Severe Inducement

• First Restart: Return to 0% torque reduction in exit condition, until proper DEF level and quality
evaluation. If low level or poor DEF quality is detected during the next monitoring cycle, the severe
inducement will be active after the next restart. After the second restart, a service tool is required to
exit the severe inducement.
• With Service Tool Clearing: Invoke 0% torque reduction with service tool clearing until proper DEF
level and quality evaluation. If low level or poor DEF quality is detected during the next monitoring
cycle, the severe inducement will be active after the next restart.

Diagnostic Trouble Codes

Diagnostic engine information is obtained from a compatible engine control unit (ECU). The DGC-2020ES
will receive an unsolicited message of a currently active diagnostic trouble code (DTC). Previously active
DTCs are available upon request. Active and previously active DTCs can be cleared on request. Table 35
lists the diagnostic information that the DGC-2020ES obtains over the CAN interface.
Table 35. Diagnostic Information Obtained Over the CAN Interface
Transmission
Parameter
Repetition Rate
Active diagnostic trouble code 1s
Lamp status 1s
Previously active diagnostic trouble code On request
Request to clear active DTCs On request
Request to clear previously active DTCs On request
DTCs are reported in coded diagnostic information that includes the Suspect Parameter Number (SPN),
Failure Mode Identifier (FMI), and Occurrence Count (OC). All parameters have an SPN and are used to
display or identify the items for which diagnostics are being reported. The FMI defines the type of failure
detected in the subsystem identified by an SPN. The reported problem may not be an electrical failure but
a subsystem condition needing to be reported to an operator or technician. The OC contains the number
of times that a fault has gone from active to previously active.
For certain DTCs, if the DGC-2020ES recognizes a pair of SPN and FMI numbers, it displays a single
string as listed in Table 36. If the DGC-2020ES recognizes an SPN in Table 36, but the FMI does not
match the FMI in Table 36, then it displays the string from Table 36 corresponding to the table entry
where the FMI is # and a second string corresponding to the FMI number listed in Table 37. For example,
if the DGC-2020ES receives SPN 29 and FMI 13, it displays ACCEL PEDAL 2 POSITN and OUT OF
CALIBRATION. If the DGC-2020ES does not have descriptive information about an SPN and FMI that
was received, the description will display as “NO TEXT AVAILABLE”.
