Detailed CGCM Unit Tag Descriptions

• UEL_Curve_VAR_Pt4 - This tag is used as the VAR coordinate in the

fourth Watt, VAR coordinate pair, that, in combination with four other
Watt, VAR coordinate pairs, lets you enter an Under-excitation Limiting
curve.

• UEL_Curve_VAR_Pt5 - This tag is used as the VAR coordinate in the

fifth Watt, VAR coordinate pair, that, in combination with four other
Watt, VAR coordinate pairs, lets you enter an Under-excitation Limiting
curve.

Under-excitation Limit Outputs from the CGCM Unit

• UEL_Active – This tag is set to 1 when the exciter is operating in the

Under-excitation Limiting mode.

Protection

This section describes the protection tags for the CGCM unit.

General Protection Inputs to the CGCM Unit

• FltReset – This tag is used by the host Logix controller to indicate to the

CGCM unit that it has observed the fault condition reported by the
CGCM unit, and wants the fault condition reset.

General Protection Outputs from the CGCM Unit

• FltOut – This tag indicates that one of the configured protection faults

has gone active.

• FltResetAck – This tag reports to the host Logix controller that the

activation of the FltReset tag has been received by the CGCM unit, and
the protective fault has been cleared.

Loss of Excitation Inputs to the CGCM Unit

• LossExcFltOutEn - When this tag is a 1 in the configuration, and a Loss

of Excitation Fault occurs (as defined by the LossExc_I_Setpt tag), the
Fault Relay is energized. When this tag is a 0 in the configuration, a Loss of
Excitation Condition has no effect on the Fault Relay.

• LossExc_I_Setpt - This tag configures the level of the CGCM unit’s DC

output current that is considered to be a minimum needed to maintain
generator synchronization when in parallel with other power sources such
as a utility grid.

• LossExc_I_TimeDly - This tag configures the amount of time the

CGCM unit’s excitation is below the Loss of Excitation Current Setpoint
before the CGCM unit trips the generator off line by opening the
generator breaker.
