This completes the discussion of optional DGC-2020 setup parameters. This discussion is not
comprehensive; it presents some of the basic setup parameters. Advanced users can customize the
DGC-2020 through the BESTlogicPlus Programmable Logic, configurable inputs, configurable protection,
configurable elements, and numerous other features designed for DGC-2020 configurability.
Setting Up DGC-2020 Programmable Inputs and Outputs
The DGC-2020 along with the CEM-2020 (Contact Expansion Module) and AEM-2020 (Analog Expansion
Module) provide a variety of programmable input and output capabilities. The DGC-2020 and the CEM-
2020 include contact inputs that are configurable as pre-alarms or alarms and are available as inputs to
BESTlogicPlus Programmable Logic. They also contain dry contact relay outputs, which are driven by the
BESTlogicPlus Programmable Logic.
The AEM-2020 has eight analog inputs, eight resistive temperature device (RTD) inputs, two
thermocouple inputs, and four analog outputs. Each analog input is configurable as a 4 to 20 mA current
input or a 0 to 10 Vdc voltage input to accommodate most readily available industrial transducers; the
RTD and thermocouple inputs are pre-configured for temperature measurement. Each analog, RTD,
and/or thermocouple input can be programmed with a user adjustable range and assignable label along
with up to four thresholds to implement protective schemes or BESTlogicPlus Programmable Logic
programming utilizing the measured parameter. This allows for enhanced protection of the engine and
generator, and protection of external devices.
The analog outputs can be configured as 4 to 20 mA current outputs or 0 to 10 Vdc voltage outputs. Each
output can be mapped to metered parameters in the DGC-2020 to implement meter driver functionality, or
provide signals for analog inputs of other equipment.
Instructions regarding configuration and setup of each type of programmable input and output are
presented in the following paragraphs, along with instructions for enabling the expansion modules.
