Application
The iControl2 printed circuit board is a generator control for use in all Fischer Panda inverter synchronous generators up to 60 kVA. As the main component of the iControl2 system, the generator control takes all monitoring and control functions of the inverter synchronous generator.
Product description
- Analog inputs for temperature measurement (cylinder head, winding, exhaust and spare).
- Analysis of the digital oil pressure signal (oil pressure switch).
- Measuring the voltage, the frequency and the current on one phase of the AC side.
- Digital semiconductor outputs for glow plugs (max. output current 26 A), starter motor (max. output current 10 A) and fuel pump (max. output current 5 A).
- Spare output (max. output current 0,7 A).
- Bridge for DC-Motor (max. 1,0 A).
- PWM semiconductor output for controlling the servo motor.
- RS485 interface for internal communication.
- CAN interface for external communication.
- During operation, the »iControl2« monitors critical operating conditions and switches off the generator in case of a fault.
- Available for 12 V and 24 V starting systems.
- Installed inside the generator capsule.
