Performance and flexibility with module concept

The modular design concept of the AMC 600 provides ultimate flexibility:

Six different rack sizes give you 4 to 14 module slots, allowing you to specify

2 to 12 optional modules and configure them for your application.

You can daisy-chain or star-connect several racks if needed. Interconnection with

EtherCAT cable redundancy is supported.

The modules provide power supply, CPU/processing, high-density digital and analogue I/Os,

field bus communication, condition monitoring, and station interface functionality,

letting you configure the AMC 600 for applications including a standalone CPU module,

an internet cloud edge gateway, or a full PLC system with local and remote I/O. 

The CPU module family features both a dual-core 32-bit based CPU and a quad-core 64-bit CPU.

All modules have conformal coating for protection against environmental factors,

and they are quickly and easily mounted and connected.

You can order the AMC 600 pre-assembled with one or more racks according to your configuration,

eliminating the need to assemble it onsite. You can quickly and easily change the configuration later.

With its modular, service-friendly design, compact size, and extensive customisation options,

the AMC 600 offers great performance and flexibility for land, marine,

and wind power control applications.

The AMC 600 is a PLC-based programmable automation controller (PAC)

suitable for land, marine, and wind power control applications.

It is class approved and designed to marine specifications and can withstand very harsh operating

conditions.

With eight digital alarm inputs, three relay outputs and many flexible features,

the AL8-2 alarm panel is suitable for alarm monitoring at industrial and marine plants.

Alarm inputs: the alarm panel is provided with eight alarm inputs to facilitate

external mechanical alarm contact connections.

The inputs are individually programmable for N/O or N/C alarm contacts.

Time delay: the alarm inputs are individually programmable with a time

delay to allow alarm condition registration at pre-set times within the 0.40 s range in steps of 1 s.

Alarm indicators: the AL8-2 is equipped with eight LEDs marked 1 to

8 for precise indication of alarm conditions for the individual alarm inputs.

When an alarm condition occurs, the LED for the relevant input channel

will flash with a red light. If more than one alarm occurs before the push-button

“LAMP RESET” is activated, the first alarm LED will flash ahead of the others.

Alarm outputs: the alarm panel is provided with three relay outputs,

one of which is used for connection to an audible/visual alarm.

The remaining two relay outputs are individually programmable

by the user to follow certain alarm inputs.

AGC 150: Easy and safe to use

Get access to important genset information quickly via the sunlight readable LCD.

The controller features illuminated buttons that smoothly guide the operator and

make it very easy and intuitive to operate. Only buttons relevant for a function

are visible to the user. Get easy access to the most common functions with configurable shortcuts.

The AGC 150 provides up to three levels (customer, service, and master) of password-protected

and role-based access. Configure parameters for each level and have only relevant settings displayed.

AGC 150: Built to last – also in green energy applications

The AGC 150 comes with uncompromising quality.

The controller is made of robust materials

and is built to last. It has undergone several tests showing that it stands wear

and tear in all types of harsh environments.

AGC 150 Hybrid

Advanced Genset Controller

The AGC 150 Hybrid comes with all the necessary functions for protection

and control of a hybrid installation with PV and genset.

The controller is ideal for small and medium PV plants with up to 16 inverters, e.g. rooftop PV plants.

The AGC 150 Hybrid is designed for protection and control of a hybrid installation with PV energy and

genset.

The AGC 150 Hybrid comes with all the necessary functions for protection

and control of a hybrid installation with PV and genset.

The controller is ideal for small and medium PV plants with up to 16 inverters, e.g. rooftop PV plants.

When mounted on the genset, the AGC 150 Hybrid controls the PV power

and functions as a dedicated hybrid controller. The AGC 150 can also be applied

as a stand-alone controller, interlinking the PV inverters and genset controller.

The AGC 150 Hybrid controls up to 2 gensets for synchronising or non-synchronising projects,

in island or parallel to the mains modes. The AGC 150 Hybrid handles the power production

from the PV inverters and genset to give the highest PV penetration and the lowest CO2 emission.

To ensure a sufficient minimum genset load, the AGC 150 Hybrid supports the load

with PV power in a safe an and reliable way.

Quick configuration and complete overview

You can configure your plant from the display without needing a PC with utility software.

Interconnected AGC 150 PMS Lite devices use CAN bus connections to automatically

detect each other and assign IDs. When the plant is running, gensets are started or

stopped according to the load and priority, and they share the load equally.

You can see the total available and consumed power, along with operating

information for all gensets in the plant.

Easy to mount, easy to use

The AGC 150 PMS Lite offers a wide selection of configurable inputs and outputs.

The IP65 certified front-mounted controller is easy to mount, and easy to use

thanks to its graphical display unit available in 11 languages.

You can monitor and control the exhaust after-treatment system from the display.

AGC 150 PMS Lite controllers are not compatible with other AGC 150 variants,

but you can augment your plant design with products including Insight remote monitoring,

DVC 350 digital voltage controllers, and AOP additional operator panels.

With the AGC 150 PMS Lite, you can quickly configure simple power management systems

with up to 127 gensets. Designed for off-grid plants, the robust controller protects

and controls a genset and the genset breaker, and it can operate in temperatures

from -40 to +70 °C (-40 to +158 °F). It is compatible with a wide range of ECUs

and engines and meets Tier 4 (Final)/Stage V requirements.

AGC 150 – Advanced Genset Controller

Easy setup

Gensets connected via CAN bus are easily set up for parallel operation

as the controllers automatically detect each other at the CAN network. 

If you at a later stage connect more gensets, the controller automatically

identifies and connects them via CAN bus, and application configuration is possible via the display.

Easy and safe to use

Get access to important genset information quickly via the sunlight readable LCD.

The controller features illuminated buttons that smoothly guide the operator

 and make it very easy and intuitive to operate. Only buttons relevant for a function

are visible to the user. Get easy access to the most common functions with configurable shortcuts.

With the AGC 150 Remote Display unit, you can access and control any

master controller in the AGC 150 series over the local network.

This provides fast incident response and operational convenience.

The AGC 150 Remote Display acts as a mirror of the master controller

in your application, providing remote access and control for any master controller

in the AGC 150 series over the local network. 

It enables fast operator response to operational incidents and convenient access 

to all controller parameters from a secondary location.

The unit is ideal for central control rooms and for providing easy access to controllers

in hard-to-reach locations, for example controllers mounted in canopies or

containers that are stacked on top of each other and out of reach.

Same features as the master controller

The AGC 150 Remote Display gives you access to all of the features in the master

controller it is linked to, making remote configuration of controller parameters

as easy as using the master controller itself. The user-friendly display and menu

structure in 8 languages is the same as the rest of the AGC 150 series.

Configuration changes performed on the AGC 150 Remote Display are immediately

eflected on the master controller, and vice versa.
