1 • Introduction
This manual provides basic installation and setup information for the DGC-2020ES Digital Genset
Controller. For complete information, refer to the appropriate DGC-2020ES instruction manual.
Caution
This Quick Start manual is intended for use by qualified personnel
only.
Default Settings
Each DGC-2020ES is delivered with default settings that are based on average values and may not be
appropriate for your application. All settings must be properly configured for your application before
running the engine-generator set.
Warning!
Do not place the DGC-2020ES controller into service until all settings
have been properly configured.
DGC-2020ES Introduction
1-2 9469200993
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.
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.
Introduction DGC-2020ES
9469200993 1-3
• 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 1-1 illustrates the DGC-2020ES style number identification chart.
For example, a DGC-2020ES with style number 5A2, has the following characteristics and features.

2 • Mounting
DGC-2020ES controllers are delivered in sturdy cartons to prevent shipping damage. Upon receipt of a
unit, 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.
Hardware
The front panel is resistant to moisture, salt fog, humidity, dust, dirt, and chemical contaminants. DGC-
2020ES controllers are mounted using the four permanently attached 10-24 studs. The torque applied to
the mounting hardware should not exceed 20 inch-pounds (2.2 newton meters).
Dimensions
Panel cutting and drilling dimensions are shown in Figure 2-1. Overall dimensions are shown in Figure
2-2. All dimensions are shown in inches with millimeters in parenthesis.

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 16) 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).
4 • Typical Connections
Typical connection diagrams are provided in this chapter as a guide when wiring the DGC-2020ES for

7 • 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.
BESTlogic™Plus Composition
There are three main groups of objects used for programming BESTlogicPlus. These groups are I/O,
Components, and Elements. For details on how these objects are used to program BESTlogicPlus, see
the paragraphs on Programming BESTlogicPlus, later in this chapter.
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.
DGC-2020ES BESTlogic™Plus
7-2 9469200993
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 7-1.

• 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 indicators are located in the lower right corner of the BESTlogicPlus window. These
indicators show the Logic Save Status, Logic Diagram Status, and Logic Layer Status. Table 7-1 defines
the colors for each indicator.

9 • Troubleshooting
If you do not get the results that you expect from the DGC-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.
Communications
USB Port Does Not Operate Properly
Step 1. Verify that the proper port of your computer is being used. For more information, refer to the
Communication chapter in the Configuration manual.
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 in the
Installation manual.
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.
DGC-2020ES Troubleshooting

Step 5. Use a voltmeter connected between the BATT– terminal (17) and the SENDER COM terminal
(2) on the DGC-2020ES 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.
LCD is Blank and all LEDs are Flashing at Approximately Two-Second Intervals
This indicates that the DGC-2020ES does not detect that valid application firmware is installed. The unit
is running its boot loader program, waiting to accept a firmware upload.
Step 1. Start BESTCOMSPlus®. Use the top pull-down menu and select FILE > NEW > DGC-2020ES.
Step 2. Select COMMUNICATIONS > UPLOAD DEVICE FILES and select the device package file that
contains the firmware and language you want to upload.
Step 3. Check the boxes for DGC-2020ES Firmware and DGC-2020ES Language Module. Click the
UPLOAD button to start the upload process.

Step 8: Verify the wiring to the breaker from the DGC-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.
the power on the DGC-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 DGC-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

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 16) 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 2-2.
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

USB Interface
A mini-B USB socket enables local communication with a PC running BESTCOMSPlus software. The
DGC-2020ES is connected to a PC using a standard USB cable equipped with a type A plug on one end
(PC termination) and a mini-B plug on the other end (DGC-2020ES termination).
CAN Interface
These terminals provide communication using the SAE J1939 protocol or the MTU protocol and provide
high-speed communication between the DGC-2020ES and an ECU on an electronically controlled
engine. Connections between the ECU and DGC-2020ES should be made with twisted-pair, shielded
cable. CAN interface terminals are listed in Table 2-11. For typical CAN connections, refer to the Typical
Connections chapter.
Note
1. If the DGC-2020ES is providing one end of the J1939 bus, a
120 ohm, 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
3 • Typical Connections
Typical connection diagrams are provided in this chapter as a guide when wiring the DGC-2020ES for
communication, mechanical senders, contact inputs and outputs, sensing, and control power.

9 • Troubleshooting
If you do not get the results that you expect from the DGC-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.
Communications
USB Port Does Not Operate Properly
Step 1. Verify that the proper port of your computer is being used. For more information, refer to the
Communication chapter in the Configuration manual.
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-2020ES to verify that there is no voltage difference at any time. Any voltage
DGC-2020ES Troubleshooting
9-2 9469200994
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.
LCD is Blank and all LEDs are Flashing at Approximately Two-Second Intervals
This indicates that the DGC-2020ES does not detect that valid application firmware is installed. The unit
is running its boot loader program, waiting to accept a firmware upload.
Step 1. Start BESTCOMSPlus®. Use the top pull-down menu and select FILE > NEW > DGC-2020ES.
Step 2. Select COMMUNICATIONS > UPLOAD DEVICE FILES and select the device package file that
contains the firmware and language you want to upload.
Step 3. Check the boxes for DGC-2020ES Firmware and DGC-2020ES Language Module. Click the
UPLOAD button to start the upload process.
Troubleshooting DGC-2020ES
9469200994 9-3
Step 2: Perform insulation resistance tests on the system wiring to check for insulation integrity in the
overall system.
Step 3: If ground faults are detected on a DGC-2020ES in an ungrounded system application, it is
recommended that potential transformers be employed on the voltage sensing inputs to provide
full isolation between the DGC-2020ES and monitored voltage phases.
Step 4: If potential transformers are in place, remove the connectors from the DGC-2020ES one at a
time. If removal of a connector removes the ground fault, check the system wiring to that
connector and out into the system to verify that connections are secure and all wiring insulation
is in good condition.

password protection are available. Each level is described in the following paragraphs.
• OEM Access. This password level allows access to all settings. The default, OEM-access password
is OEM.
• Settings Access. This password level allows all except uploading of firmware and clearing of device
event log. The default, settings-access password is SET.
• Operator Access. The default, operator-access password is OP. This password level allows all
settings to be read and allows changes to be made to the following:
o LCD Contrast
o Sleep Mode
o Date/Time
o All Sender Fail Time Delays
o Metric Conversion
o Low Fuel Pre-Alarm Level
o Low Fuel Alarm Level
o Pre-Start Contact after Cranking
o Cooldown Time
o Pre-Crank Time Delay
o Reset of Maintenance Interval
o All controls on the Control screen available via the Metering Explorer in BESTCOMSPlus®
Changing Passwords
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 1-1. 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.

3 • 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 3-1 illustrates the typical user interface components of the DGC-2020ES plugin with
BESTCOMSPlus.

The Settings Explorer is a convenient tool within BESTCOMSPlus used to navigate through the various
settings screens of the DGC-2020ES plugin.
These screens allow the user to edit general settings, communications, system parameters,
programmable inputs, programmable outputs, alarm configuration, generator protection, breaker
management, programmable senders, and BESTlogicPlus programmable logic.
Logic setup will be necessary after making certain setting changes. For more information, refer to the
BESTlogicPlus chapter.
Settings Entry
When entering settings in BESTCOMSPlus, each setting is validated against prescribed limits. Entered
settings that do not conform with the prescribed limits are accepted but flagged as noncompliant. Figure
3-9 illustrates an example of flagged, noncompliant settings (locator A) and the Setting Validation window
(locator B) used to diagnose faulty settings.
BESTCOMSPlus® DGC-2020ES
9469200995 3-9
Figure 3-9. Flagged, Noncompliant Settings and the Seting Validation Window
The Setting Validation window, viewed by selecting the Setting Validation tab (locator C), displays three
types of annunciations: errors, warnings, and messages. An error describes a problem such as a setting
that is out of range. A warning describes a condition where supporting settings are invalid, causing other
settings to be noncompliant with the prescribed limits. A message describes a minor setting issue that
was automatically resolved by BESTCOMSPlus. An example of a condition triggering a message is entry
of a settings value with a resolution that exceeds the limit imposed by BESTCOMSPlus. In this situation,
the value is automatically rounded and a message is triggered. Each annunciation lists a hyperlinked
name for the noncompliant setting and an error message describing the issue. Clicking the hyperlinked
setting name takes you to the setting screen with the offending setting. Right-clicking the hyperlinked
setting name will restore the setting to its default value.
Note
It is possible to save a DGC-2020ES settings file in BESTCOMSPlus
with noncompliant settings. However, it is not possible to upload
noncompliant settings to the DGC-2020ES.
Metering Explorer
The Metering Explorer is a convenient tool within BESTCOMSPlus used to navigate through the various
metering screens of the DGC-2020ES plugin.
These screens allow the user to view real-time system data including generator voltages and currents,
input/output status, alarms, reports, and other parameters. Refer to the Metering chapter in the Operation
manual for more information on the Metering Explorer.

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.
BESTCOMSPlus® DGC-2020ES
9469200995 3-13
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.
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.

4 • 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.
Caution
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 4-1 lists the ECU parameters and Table 4-2 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 4-1 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.

panel, navigate to Settings > Communications > CAN Bus Setup > ECU Setup. Refer to Figure 4-2.
ECU Type
The DGC-2020ES can be configured for Standard, Volvo Penta, MTU MDEC, MTU ADEC, MTU
ECU7/ECU8, GM/Doosan, Cummins, MTU Smart Connect, Scania, or John Deere.
DGC-2020ES Communication
4-8 9469200995
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.
Engine RPM: The Engine RPM setting defines the nominal requested engine rpm.
Idle RPM: The Idle RPM setting is the requested rpm when the IDLE REQUEST logic element is true.
Remember Speed Adjustments: A Remember Speed Adjustments setting is provided to establish how
RPM adjustments by raise/lower commands are saved. When Yes is selected, adjustments to RPM by
raise/lower commands are saved to memory and used for all subsequent run sessions. This is true even
Communication DGC-2020ES
9469200995 4-9
when power is cycled to the DGC- 2020ES. When No is selected, adjustments to rpm by raise/lower
commands are retained for the duration of only the current run session. The adjustments are discarded
the next time the engine is run or the DGC-2020ES is power cycled.
RPM Bandwidth: The RPM Bandwidth setting defines the speed adjustment range. For example, if the
Engine RPM setting is 1800 and the RPM Bandwidth is set to 100, the rpm can be adjusted from 1750 to
1850 rpm.
RPM Checksum: Some newer engine ECUs will not respond to TSC1 speed request when the speed is
a constant value unless a Message Counter and Checksum are implemented. This setting enables or
disables the Message Counter and RPM Checksum.
Start Mode
The Start mode specifies whether the engine should start normally or as rapidly as possible. When
Normal mode is selected, the engine will go through a normal start sequence when started. When Rapid
mode is selected, the engine will go through a rapid start sequence if the engine ECU is programmed for
a rapid start. A normal start could be employed when starting the generator is not time critical. However, if
there was a power outage, a rapid start could be employed to restore power as soon as possible.
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
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 control 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.
DGC-2020ES Communication
4-10 9469200995
• 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.
Generator Control Communications Configuration: A parameter is provided to configure generator
control communications. If the standard PGNs for Generator Control One and Generator Control Two are
broadcast by the generator controller, the Cummins ECU will use those. If they are not broadcast, the
ECU will expect the Cummins Engine Governing PGN (0xFF69) and Cummins Generator Control PGN
(0xFF73). If the user selects Standard for the Generator Control Communications setting, the DGC-
2020ES will not broadcast 0xFF69 and 0xFF73 in order to minimize loading on the CAN Bus.
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.

Communication DGC-2020ES
9469200995 4-11
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.
Isuzu
When the ECU type is set for Isuzu, the Clear ECU Memory and Escape Mode Request buttons are
operational. When the Clear ECU Memory button is clicked, it will remain on for five seconds and then
turn off, sending a five-second long memory clear request to the engine ECU. When the Escape Mode
Request button is clicked, a temporary override of inducement to not operate the engine is sent to the
ECU.
Daimler CPC4
When the ECU type is set for Daimler CPC4, the DGC-2020ES monitors the Torque Limit (LIM) Lamp
Status broadcast via proprietary J1939 communications from the Daimler engine ECU to the
DGC-2020ES. When the monitored LIM Lamp status indicates the lamp is on solid, the DGC-2020
annunciates a pre-alarm displaying the LIM symbol and text “Torque Limit”. When the monitored LIM
Lamp status indicates the lamp is flashing, the DGC-2020ES annunciates a pre-alarm displaying the LIM
symbol and text “Torque Limit Severe”. The DGC-2020ES also displays the LIM symbol in the exhaust
status display portion of the front panel display.
Yanmar
Some DTC-FMI combinations report different Yanmar P Codes depending on whether the engine has
three or four cylinders. The Number of Cylinders setting specifies how many cylinders exist in the engine.

5 • Device 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.
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.
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.
Rated Data
Rated Data parameters consist of sensing transformer ratings, voltage, power factor, kW, engine RPM,

Sensing Transformers
For information on sensing transformers settings, see Sensing Transformers, below.
Rated Data
Genset nameplate data used by the DGC-2020ES includes the rated voltage, power factor, kW, and
engine RPM.
Genset kW Rating
This setting accepts values from 5 to 9,999, in increments of 1.
Rated kVA
Rated Phase Amps (1 − phase machine) =
Rated L − L Volts
CT Secondary Amps
Rated Secondary Phase Amps = Rated Phase Amps
CT Primary Amps
Rated kW
Rated kVA =
Rated PF
Frequency
The frequency settings allow selection of the rated frequency of the generator and an alternate frequency.
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.)
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.

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 5-4.
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.
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.
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
Settings
Off Mode Cool Down: Upon receiving a cool down request with this setting enabled, the unit will enter a
cool down cycle when in Off mode.
Cool Down Configuration: Upon receiving a cool down request with Only When Loaded selected, the
unit will enter a cool down cycle only if a load is currently applied. With Always selected, the unit will enter
a cool down cycle upon request with or without a load applied.
No Load Cool Down Time: This setting establishes the duration of the cool down cycle when no load is
applied.
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 5-5.
Exercise Timer
The exercise timer function starts and runs the genset at specified intervals. Exercise timer settings are
described in the following paragraphs.
Modes
The Mode setting determines how often the generator is exercised. Each mode has supporting settings
that establish the start time, date, and duration of each session. When a mode is selected, only the
appropriate supporting settings for that mode are available while other settings are grayed out. Start
Hour, Start Minute, Run Period Hours, Run Period Minutes, and Run with Load settings are available for
all modes. The exercise timer modes are described below.
Daily: The generator will run every day.
Monthly: The generator will run on the same day every month using the numeric date. For example, the
fifth of every month. See Start Day of Month under Supporting Settings below.
N Week Intervals: On or after the specified start date, the generator will run on the same day every N
weeks, where N is a value from 1 through 52. For example, every two weeks on Sundays, starting on
January 1, 2020. See Start Day of Week, Week Interval, and Begin Date (Month, Day, Year) under
Supporting Settings below.
Weekday of Month: The generator will run on the same day of the week every month. For example, the
third Tuesday of every month. See Start Day of Week and Week of Month under Supporting Settings
below.
Weekly: The generator will run on the same day every week. See Start Day of Week under Supporting
Settings below.
Supporting Settings
Begin Date (Month, Day, Year): These three settings establish the date on which the exercise timer will
start when Mode is set to N Week Intervals.
Start Day of Month: Accepts values 1 through 31. Enabled when Mode is set to Monthly.
Start Day of Week: Select Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, or Saturday.
Enabled when Mode is set to Weekly, Weekday of Month, or N Week Intervals.
Start Time and Run Period: The generator will start at the time established by the Start Hour and Start
Minute settings and will run for the duration established by the Run Period Hours and Run Period Minutes
settings. These settings are available for all modes.
Run with Load: When enabled, the DGC-2020ES closes the generator breaker during the run time.
Week Interval: Accepts values 1 through 52. Enabled when Mode is set to N Week Intervals.
Week of Month: Select First, Second, Third, Fourth, or Last. Enabled when Mode is set to Weekday of
Month.
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
Timer.
The BESTCOMSPlus Exercise Timer screen is illustrated in Figure 5-6.
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 999,999, 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
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 5-7.

6 • 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 6-1. Settings are listed in Table 6-1.
The local time zone is configured on this screen. The Time Zone Offset is the local offset to UTC
(Coordinated Universal Time). The Time Zone Offset is required when the Start/End Time Reference is
set to UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). The Start/End Time Reference is set to UTC time if required by
local daylight savings time rules. The Start/End Hour/Minute settings determine the time when the DST
will go into effect. The Bias setting is the amount of time that the clock moves forward or backward. The
user is notified when the clock is not set when the Clock Not Set Warning is enabled.

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 for more information.
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.
Fuel Level
Figure 7-1 illustrates the Fuel Level screen found in the BESTCOMSPlus Settings Explorer under the
Programmable Senders category. To program the fuel level sender, perform the following procedure:
1. The percent fuel level sender is configured by selecting one of the sender types that come as a part
of the BESTCOMSPlus sender library. Click on Load Fuel Settings File and select the appropriate
sender.
2. If no sender file matches the sender being used, the individual points that map resistance points to
fuel level may be modified by setting numeric values in the table, or dragging the points of the graph
to the desired characteristic. Information on sender characteristics should be obtained from the
sender manufacturer.
3. Select Positive or Negative sender slope as required for the desired sender graph.

6. Click the Send Settings button in BESTCOMSPlus to send the sender settings to the DGC-2020ES.
In a Grounded Delta configuration where one phase (A, B, or C) of the delta connection is grounded, it is
likely a Voltage Sensing Fail condition will occur.
In Delta connected systems where the DGC-2020ES neutral input is not connected, it is uncertain which
line-to-neutral voltages will be monitored by the DGC-2020ES. Spurious Voltage Sensing Fail
annunciations could occur.
It is recommended that Phase Imbalance detection be used to detect sensing issues in Delta and
Grounded Delta configurations.
8 • 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.
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.
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.
When a Battle Override condition is true the DGC annunciates a Battle Override Pre-alarm that is
recorded in the event log. If an alarm occurs while a Battle Override condition is true, the alarm
annunciates on the DGC front panel and is recorded in the event log, but the engine will not stop.
• The DGC monitors engine RPM during battle override. If the engine RPM drops to zero while an
alarm is active during a Battle Override condition, the DGC will proceed to issue a normal
shutdown to prevent fuel flow while the engine is not running.
• 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 – When an input is assigned to the Emergency Stop Programmable Function,
the input functions in a normally-closed manner. When the input is closed, no alarm is
annunciated. When the input is open, the DGC-2020ES will open the Start, Run, and Prestart
relays and annunciate an Emergency Stop Alarm.
Once an input is assigned to this programmable input, navigate to Settings Explorer >
Programmable Inputs > Contact Inputs and configure the following settings:
° Alarm Configuration: Status Only
° Activation Delay: 0
° Label Text: Any text is acceptable.
° Contact Recognition: Always
• 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.
The Programmable Functions screen is found in the BESTCOMSPlus Settings Explorer under the
Programmable Inputs category. If using the front panel, navigate to Settings > Programmable Inputs >
Programmable Functions.
The BESTCOMSPlus Programmable Functions screen is illustrated in Figure 8-2.
9 • 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 9-1). 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.
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.
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. A user-adjustable arming delay disables the configurable element during
engine startup. If the arming delay is set to zero, the configurable element is active at all times, including
when the engine is not running. If the arming delay is set to a non-zero value, the configurable element is
inactive when the engine is not running, and does not become active until after the engine is started and
the arming delay has elapsed. 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 9-4 and found in the Settings
Explorer under the Programmable Outputs category. If using the front panel, navigate to Settings >
Programmable Outputs > Configurable Elements.
10 • 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.
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.
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.
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 10-1 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.
Caution
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 Troubleshooting chapter if the breaker does not seem to operate properly.
11 • Alarm Configuration
Configuration of DGC-2020ES alarms, pre-alarms, sender failure alarms, and the audible horn is
described in the following paragraphs.
Alarms
To configure alarms using BESTCOMSPlus, open the Alarm screen (Figure 11-1). This screen is found in
the Settings Explorer under the Alarm Configuration category. If using the front panel, navigate to
Settings > Alarm Configuration > Alarms.
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.
Pre-alarms
To configure pre-alarms using BESTCOMSPlus, open the Pre-Alarms screen (Figure 11-2). 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Engine kW Overload
By comparing the genset power output with the rated genset output, the level of engine loading can be
determined. Three engine overload pre-alarms are available that monitor three-phase real power when
three-phase sensing is active or single-phase real power if single-phase sensing is active. Settings for
each pre-alarm consist of an enable/disable setting, three-phase threshold setting, three-phase hysteresis
setting, single-phase threshold setting, single-phase hysteresis setting, and low-line scale factor setting. If
enabled, an engine overload pre-alarm occurs when the metered power level exceeds the threshold
setting. The threshold setting is expressed as a percentage of the genset kW rating on the
BESTCOMSPlus Rated Data screen (DGC-2020ES, System Parameters, Rated Data). The hysteresis
setting functions as a pre-alarm dropout by preventing rapid switching of the alarm annunciation. When
the low-line override is active, the thresholds for three-phase and single-phase detection are multiplied by
the low-line scale factor. The effect is that low-line threshold = three-phase or single-phase threshold
setting x low-line scale factor.
Horn Configuration
To configure the audible horn using BESTCOMSPlus, open the Horn Configuration screen (Figure 11-3).
This screen is found in the Settings Explorer under the Alarm Configuration category. If using the front
panel, navigate to Settings > Alarm Configuration > Horn Configuration.
An output contact is configured through programmable logic to energize an audible horn when an alarm
or pre-alarm condition exists. The horn settings consist of an enable/disable setting and a Not in Auto
enable/disable setting. If enabled, the contact output is closed when an alarm condition exists. The
contact output is toggled between open and closed when a pre-alarm condition exists. If the Not in Auto
setting is enabled, the horn is disabled when the DGC-2020ES is not operating in Auto mode.
Sender Failure
To configure sender failure alarms using BESTCOMSPlus, open the Sender Fail screen (Figure 11-4).
This screen is found in the Settings Explorer under the Alarm Configuration category. If using the front
panel, navigate to Settings > Alarm Configuration > Sender Fail.
Coolant temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, and voltage sensing sender failure settings consist of an
alarm configuration setting and an activation delay. The alarm configuration setting allows selection of the
type of alarm to be annunciated when a sender fail condition exists. None, Alarm, and Pre-alarm can be
selected. The selected alarm type is triggered when a sender failure exists for the duration of the
activation time delay.
Speed sender failure settings consist of a single activation delay. An alarm is triggered when a speed
sender failure exists for the duration of the activation time delay.
12 • 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 27 Three-Phase Pickup
• Undervoltage 27 Single-Phase Pickup
The Undervoltage screen is found in the BESTCOMSPlus Settings Explorer under the Generator
Protection, Voltage category. If using the front panel, navigate to Settings > Generator Protection > 27
Undervoltage. The BESTCOMSPlus Undervoltage screen is illustrated in Figure 12-1.
Figure 12-1. 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).

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.
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).
• 81 U Pickup
• 81 O Pickup
The following setting has native units of Secondary Volts, and the rated data associated with it is Rated
Secondary Volts (on the System Parameters, Rated Data screen).
• 81 U Inhibit Voltage
The Frequency screen is found in the BESTCOMSPlus Settings Explorer under the Generator Protection,
Frequency category. If using the front panel, navigate to Settings > Generator Protection > 81 O/U
Frequency. The BESTCOMSPlus Frequency screen is illustrated in Figure 12-4.
Figure 12-4. 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
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 current 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 Amps, and the rated data associated with them is
Rated Secondary Phase Amps (on the System Parameters, Rated Data screen).
• Overcurrent 50 Three-Phase Pickup
• Overcurrent 50 Single-Phase Pickup
The Overcurrent screen is found in the BESTCOMSPlus Settings Explorer under the Generator
Protection, Current category. If using the front panel, navigate to Settings > Generator Protection > 50
Overcurrent. The BESTCOMSPlus Overcurrent screen is illustrated in Figure 12-5.
13 • 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
BESTCOMSPlus chapter.

RUNOUTPUT This element is used to drive the run output relay from
logic when the Run Output Relay configuration is set to
“Programmable”. When the Run Output Relay
configuration is set to “Programmable”, the run relay will
not close unless logic is used to drive this element. When
the Run Output Relay configuration is set to “Predefined”,
the run relay is closed according to the predefined run
functionality of the DGC-2020ES. When the “Predefined”
functionality is selected, the relay will not respond to this
element.
RUNWLOAD The Start input starts the generator and closes the Gen
breaker. The Stop input stops the generator and opens
the Gen breaker. The DGC-2020ES only responds to this
logic element when in AUTO mode.

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.
BESTlogic™Plus DGC-2020ES
9469200995 13-31
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 13-1.
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 indicators are located in the lower right corner of the BESTlogicPlus window. These
indicators show the Logic Save Status, Logic Diagram Status, and Logic Layer Status. Table 13-4 defines
the colors for each indicator.

14 • 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.
SPN 3701 (Diesel Particulate Filter Status) is received with a value of 010
(regeneration is needed – moderate level)
The pre-alarm text is SOOT LVL MOD HI.
The DPF warning symbol, shown to the right, accompanies the text
when the pre-alarm appears on the DGC-2020ES front panel.
o SOOT LEVEL EXTREMELY HIGH Pre-Alarm
This pre-alarm is annunciated when one of the following occurs.
A DTC is received with SPN 3719 (Diesel Particulate Filter Soot Load Percent) with
FMI = 0 (Data Valid But Above Normal Operating Range Most Severe Level)
SPN 3701 (Diesel Particulate Filter Status) is received with a value of 011
(regeneration is needed – highest level)
The pre-alarm text is SOOT LVL EXT HI.
The DPF stop symbol, shown to the right, accompanies 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, preventing it from running, or 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. However, the operator should be
aware that the engine ECU or after treatment system may cause
such behavior.
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. The exact DEF levels which constitute a low DEF condition vary among manufacturers.
DGC-2020ES Exhaust Treatment
14-4 9469200995
• DEF LOW SEVERE: This pre-alarm displays when SPN 5245 has a value of 4, indicating that the DEF
tank level is severely low or empty. The exact DEF levels which constitute a severely low DEF condition
vary among manufacturers. 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 WARNING: This pre-alarm displays when SPN 5246 has a value of 1. This is the lowest level of
warning which indicates the EATS is not functioning properly or DEF quality or level is insufficient for
proper operation.
• DEF WARNING LVL2: This pre-alarm displays when SPN 5246 has a value of 2. This is a higher level
of warning which indicates the EATS is not functioning properly or DEF quality or level is insufficient for
proper operation. If the problem causing this warning is not corrected, the system will eventually enter
the DEF inducement states. In these states, the engine power or operating speed may be derated
depending on the engine manufacturer and engine application.
• DEF INDUCEMENT: This pre-alarm displays when SPN 5246 has a value of 3, indicating the first level
of inducement. The engine power or operating speed may be derated at this level of inducement
depending on engine manufacturer and engine application. This is the lowest level of inducement and
is caused by either the EATS not functioning properly or insufficient DEF quality or level for proper
operation.
• 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. This is caused by either the EATS not functioning properly
or insufficient DEF quality or level for proper operation. The engine power or operating speed may be
derated at this level of inducement depending on engine manufacturer and engine application. The
ECU will allow the engine to run for a limited time in this condition after which the engine will enter the
severe inducement state.
• DEF SEVERE INDUCEMENT: This pre-alarm displays when SPN 5246 has a value of
5, indicating the Severe Inducement level of inducement. This is caused by either the
EATS not functioning properly or insufficient DEF quality or level for proper operation. In
this condition, the engine may either operate with reduced power or RPM or be shut
down depending on manufacturer or engine application. The engine will remain at this
level of inducement until the problem causing the inducement is resolved.
• 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.
DEF Tank Level – The DEF Tank Level is the level of Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) in the DEF Tank. When
the DEF Level is getting low and DEF related conditions require annunciation, the caption of the DEF
Tank level will change from “DEF” to the DEF symbol. Details of the DEF symbol are described below.
DEF Symbol – When the symbol is on solid, it indicates that DEF is low or there is an issue
with the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system. When it is flashing, it indicates the DEF
level is critically low or there is a critical issue with the SCR system.
DPF Symbol – When the DPF symbol is on solid, it indicates that the Diesel Particulate Filter
(DPF) or exhaust system filter requires regeneration. When flashing it indicates a more
urgent need for regeneration. Some manufacturers also show this symbol along with the
High Exhaust Temperature Symbol when a Regeneration is in process.
Regeneration Inhibited Symbol – When this symbol is visible, it indicates that Regeneration
is Inhibited. Operation with Regeneration Inhibited is not recommended. If Regeneration is
not allowed when required, eventually the machine may shut down and cannot be restarted
without a service call from the engine manufacturer. However, ample warning is given
through various pre-alarms to allow removal of the inhibit so regeneration can occur and
prevent an unwanted exhaust related shutdown condition.
Exhaust System Malfunction Symbol – When this symbol is visible, an exhaust system
malfunction is in effect. Pre-alarms and/or Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC’s) will provide
additional information. It may be necessary to contact the engine manufacturer if the pre-
alarms and DTC’s do not provide sufficient failure information.
High Exhaust Temperature Symbol – This is visible when the exhaust system temperature
has been elevated to perform a DPF Regeneration and typically indicates a DPF
Regeneration is active. Some manufacturers also show this symbol when there is a
mechanism to heat the exhaust stream and it is in the process of heating in preparation for a
DPF Regeneration.
Check Engine Symbol – This is visible when Active Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are
present.
Torque Limit Symbol – This symbol is visible when operating in a Limited Torque mode due
to exhaust system issues. When on solid, it indicates torque reduction. When flashing, it
indicates increased torque reduction.
Amber Warning Lamp Symbol– This symbol indicates the engine ECU is lighting the Amber
Warning Lamp. When flashing, it indicates a higher degree of severity.
Red Lamp Symbol – This symbol indicates the engine ECU is lighting the Red Warning
Lamp. When flashing, it indicates a higher degree of severity. An engine shutdown may
accompany this symbol.
Wait To Start Symbol – This symbol is visible when the engine is in a state of preparation for
starting the engine. Examples include engine pre-heating or engine pre-lubrication.
15 • Troubleshooting
If you do not get the results that you expect from the DGC-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.
Communications
USB Port Does Not Operate Properly
Step 1. Verify that the proper port of your computer is being used. For more information, refer to the
Communication chapter.
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 in the
Installation manual.
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.
DGC-2020ES Troubleshooting
15-2 9469200995
Step 5. Use a voltmeter connected between the BATT– terminal (17) and the SENDER COM terminal
(2) on the DGC-2020ES 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.
LCD is Blank and all LEDs are Flashing at Approximately Two-Second Intervals
This indicates that the DGC-2020ES does not detect that valid application firmware is installed. The unit
is running its boot loader program, waiting to accept a firmware upload.
Step 1. Start BESTCOMSPlus®. Use the top pull-down menu and select FILE > NEW > DGC-2020ES.
Step 2. Select COMMUNICATIONS > UPLOAD DEVICE FILES and select the device package file that
contains the firmware and language you want to upload.
Step 3. Check the boxes for DGC-2020ES Firmware and DGC-2020ES Language Module. Click the

• The DGC-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 DGC-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.

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 DGC-2020ES. Check status using the
Metering Explorer in BESTCOMSPlus and verify that the MAINS FAIL status LED is lit when
the power on the DGC-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 DGC-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.

pushbutton activity is detected for 15 minutes and the DGC-2020ES is operating in OFF mode or Auto
mode with the engine not running. Normal display operation resumes when any pushbutton is pressed or
the genset is started remotely via the ATS input. Sleep mode will not be entered while an alarm is active.
Sleep mode can be permanently disabled through BESTCOMSPlus® or the front panel.
One-Line Diagram
A one-line diagram of the breaker hardware configuration can be displayed on the front panel. This
diagram changes in real time to reflect the current state of the configured breakers. The one-line diagram
is disabled by default. To display the one-line diagram using front panel controls, navigate to Settings >
General Settings > Front Panel HMI > One-Line Diagram and enable the setting. If using
BESTCOMSPlus, navigate to Settings Explorer, General Settings, Front Panel HMI and select Enable on
the One-Line Diagram setting.
Once enabled, the one-line diagram appears on both the front-panel Summary and Main Menu screens.
The One-Line Diagram Menu screen provides metering for mains fail transfer, generator and bus
parameters as well as breaker controls. To access the One-Line Diagram Menu screen, go to the Main
Menu and select the one-line diagram as you would a normal menu option and press the Edit pushbutton.
The one-line diagram, mains fail transfer state (if enabled), generator and bus parameters, and breaker
controls are displayed respectively from the top of the menu.
Further mains fail transfer state metering is available by selecting the “MAINSFAIL XFER STATE” and
pressing the Edit pushbutton. Mains fail transfer state, transfer delay, return delay, and max transfer time
are displayed.
To issue a breaker open or breaker close command, select the appropriate menu option, press Edit and
select ON.

2 • 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.
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.
Operating States
The DGC-2020ES goes through the operating states listed in Table 2-1 when starting and stopping the
generator.
3 • Metering
The DGC-2020ES provides comprehensive metering of internal and system conditions. These
capabilities include extensive parameter metering, status indication and reporting.

Control
Controls for stopping/starting the engine, opening/closing breakers, and opening/closing switches are
accessed using BESTCOMSPlus through the Metering Explorer, Control screen. This set of controls is
especially useful when commissioning the DGC-2020ES. The PC or laptop running BESTCOMSPlus
must be connected to the DGC-2020ES via the USB port (see the Communication chapter in the
Configuration manual for details). When running BESTCOMSPlus in Live mode, these buttons interact
with the DGC-2020ES in real time. Otherwise, you will be prompted before the settings are sent.
Using the Metering Explorer in BESTCOMSPlus, open the Control branch. Refer to Figure 3-14.
Emergency Stop
The user has control to stop the generator in case of emergency by clicking on the Emergency Stop
button.
Engine Control
The engine can be started and stopped by clicking on the Start and Stop buttons. This function requires a
connection to a properly configured ECU via J1939 (CANBus).

4 • 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.
Alarm configuration is described in the Configuration manual.
A detailed list of alarms is provided in Table 4-1.

Horn
The audible horn can be silenced by simultaneously pressing the Back and Edit pushbuttons. This does
not reset the alarm or pre-alarm causing the horn to annunciate.
Maintenance Interval
To reset the maintenance interval pre-alarm through the front panel, navigate to the Settings > System
Params > System Settings > Maint Reset screen. Operator, Settings, or OEM access level is required to
reset the maintenance interval pre-alarm. If the maintenance interval pre-alarm is not enabled, the Maint
Reset parameter is not visible on the front panel.
To reset the maintenance interval pre-alarm by using BESTCOMSPlus, use the Metering Explorer to
open the Run Statistics screen and click on the Reset Maintenance Interval button.
To reset the maintenance interval pre-alarm from the front panel, navigate to the Overview screen and
hold the Back pushbutton for 12 seconds.
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 in the Configuration manual 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.

31 CONDTN EXST OR FMI NA If the SPN refers to a parameter with status of ON or OFF, an FMI of 31
indicates ON. If the SPN refers to a parameter with a numeric value, an
FMI of 31 indicates that there is no FMI to describe the parameter’s
condition.

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-2020 recognizes a pair of SPN and FMI numbers, it displays a single string
as listed in Table 7-3. If the DGC-2020 recognizes an SPN in Table 7-3, but the FMI does not match the
FMI in Table 7-3, then it displays the text string from Table 7-3 corresponding to the table entry where the
FMI is # and a second text string corresponding to the FMI number listed in Table 7-2. For example, if the
DGC-2020 receives SPN 29 and FMI 13, it displays ACCEL PEDAL 2 POSITN and OUT OF
CALIBRATION. If the DGC-2020 does not have descriptive information about an SPN and FMI that was
received, the description will display as “NO TEXT AVAILABLE”.
The Yanmar Fault Code designator consists of a letter and a four-digit number in the form LNNNN, where
L is either a U or a P, and NNNN is a four-digit hexadecimal number. This code uniquely identifies the
Yanmar fault information. Consult the Yanmar engine documentation or contact Yanmar to determine the
corrected action that will remedy the fault.

8 • 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 8-1.
Figure 8-1. 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,
Event Log. Use the Up/Down keys to highlight an event and press the Right key to view the summary of
that event record. The summary contains the description of the event, date, time, and engine hours of the
first occurrence of the event, along with date, time, and engine hours of the most recent occurrence of the
event. To view details of specific event occurrences, press the Down key until DETAILS is highlighted,
and then, press the Right key. The occurrence number can be changed by pressing the Edit key,
Up/Down keys to select #, and pressing the Edit key again to exit. Table 8-1 lists all possible event strings
(as shown in the event log).
9 • Troubleshooting
If you do not get the results that you expect from the DGC-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.
Communications
USB Port Does Not Operate Properly
Step 1. Verify that the proper port of your computer is being used. For more information, refer to the
Communication chapter in the Configuration manual.
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 in the
Installation manual.
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.
DGC-2020ES Troubleshooting
9-2 9469200996
Step 5. Use a voltmeter connected between the BATT– terminal (17) and the SENDER COM terminal
(2) on the DGC-2020ES 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.
LCD is Blank and all LEDs are Flashing at Approximately Two-Second Intervals
This indicates that the DGC-2020ES does not detect that valid application firmware is installed. The unit
is running its boot loader program, waiting to accept a firmware upload.
Step 1. Start BESTCOMSPlus®. Use the top pull-down menu and select FILE > NEW > DGC-2020ES.
Step 2. Select COMMUNICATIONS > UPLOAD DEVICE FILES and select the device package file that
contains the firmware and language you want to upload.
Step 3. Check the boxes for DGC-2020ES Firmware and DGC-2020ES Language Module. Click the
UPLOAD button to start the upload process.

Step 8: Verify the wiring to the breaker from the DGC-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.
the power on the DGC-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 DGC-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.
CEM DEBUG
This screen shows the binary data that is being sent between the CEM-2020 (Contact Expansion Module)
and the DGC-2020ES.
The CEM DEBUG screen is located on the front panel at SETTINGS > SYSTEM PARAMS > REMOTE
MODULE SETUP > CEM SETUP > CEM DEBUG MENU.
The following parameters are visible on the CEM DEBUG screen:
• DGC TO CEM BP: DGC-2020ES to CEM-2020 Binary Points. This is the status of the CEM-2020
output relays being transmitted from the DGC-2020ES to the CEM-2020. This is a 32-bit, bit packed
number representing the desired states of the CEM-2020 outputs. The left most bit is the first output,
etc.
• CEM TO DGC BP: CEM-2020 to DGC-2020ES Binary Points. This is the status of the CEM-2020
inputs being transmitted from the CEM-2020 to the DGC-2020ES. This is a 32-bit, bit packed number
representing the metered states of the CEM-2020 inputs. The left most bit is the first input, etc.

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)

BESTCOMSPlus® Software
BESTCOMSPlus provides the user with a point-and-click means to set and monitor the Contact
Expansion Module. Installation and operation of BESTCOMSPlus is described in the BESTCOMSPlus
chapter.
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 1-1 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
headers. Connector screw terminals accept a maximum wire size of 12 AWG (3.31 mm2). Maximum
screw torque is 5 inch-pounds (0.56 N•m).
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
CEM-2020 DGC-2020ES
9469200997 1-7
polarity will not cause damage, the CEM-2020 will not operate. Operating power terminals are listed in
Table 1-1.
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.
Table 1-1. Operating Power Terminals
Terminal Description
Note
To follow UL guidelines, a fuse must be implemented in the 2 Adc
contact circuits (Outputs 5 through 16) of the CEM-2020H used in
hazardous locations. The suggested fuse size in Adc = (100/Contact
Voltage) with a maximum fuse size of 5 Adc.

Notes
1. If the CEM-2020 is providing one end of the J1939 bus, a 120
ohm, 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.

2 • Troubleshooting
If you do not get the results that you expect from the DGC-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.
Communications
USB Port Does Not Operate Properly
Step 1. Verify that the proper port of your computer is being used. For more information, refer to the
Communication chapter in the Configuration manual.
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 in the
Installation manual.
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.
DGC-2020ES Troubleshooting
2-2 9469200997
Step 5. Use a voltmeter connected between the BATT– terminal (17) and the SENDER COM terminal
(2) on the DGC-2020ES 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.

Step 8: Verify the wiring to the breaker from the DGC-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.
the power on the DGC-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 DGC-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
