10 CRMS (Maintenance Edition Chapter 2: Software Installation) Chapter 2: Software Installation This chapter describes the steps required via CRMS to install, setup, and remotely start your MicroTurbine. Checklist The following checklist must be completed prior to operating your MicroTurbine: Connect Computer to MicroTurbine Install CRMS Software Run CRMS Software Enter Registration Data Enter Site Data Setup Communications Step 1: Connect Computer Modem, Ethernet, or RS-232 connections can be used for communication with the MicroTurbine. For local connection, use either of the two RS-232 serial ports with a null modem cable, or use Ethernet through the Capstone Serial-to-Ethernet converter. For remote connection, use an Ethernet network through the Capstone Serial-to- Ethernet converter, or use a telephone line and local modem. Step 2: Install CRMS To install CRMS, run Setup.exe from your CRMS CD. During installation, setup will check for an existing CRMS application. If an existing CRMS application is detected, then setup will uninstall the existing CRMS application, and a second run of the setup program will be required to install the new CRMS. CRMS software normally resides in the c:\capstone directory (unless you specified a different directory during install). If a different (or custom) directory is specified, DO NOT use any special characters (blanks or dots) within the directory path name. The installation wizard will guide you through the installation process. Step 3: Run CRMS To prevent conflicts with any previous running CRMS programs, it is recommended that all original CRMS setup files be deleted. The setup files reside in the \setup directory in the previously installed CRMS program. If a different directory (other than default) is specified, DO NOT use any special characters (blanks or dots) within the custom directory path name. To begin execution, run capstone.exe. Step 4: Enter Registration Data Enter registration information from Table 2-1 into the boxes shown in Figure 2-1. The CRMS license is a multiple license, which allows the user to connect to multiple MicroTurbines, or to a MultiPac system. Item Registered User Company Serial Number Table 2-1.

To view the Strip chart display, select [Display][Strip Chart] from the MicroTurbine Menu Bar. See Figure 7-5. The Y-axis values are plotted on a common scale, normalized from 0 to 1. Thus, if a lower limit of 0 and an upper limit of 100,000 are selected, then a Y-axis value of 0.5 corresponds to 50,000. The X-axis time scale is dependent on the following items: (1) The number of points selected, and (2) The chart timer. Thus, if the number of points equals 200 and a chart timer is set to 2 seconds, then an X-axis scale from 0 to 200 will correspond to time: 200 x 2 = 400 seconds (or 6 minutes and 40 seconds). The Chart Time Scale is displayed on the Strip Chart. To adjust the chart timer, select [View] [Timers] from the Window Menu Bar and set the Charts timer control. The following settings are available from the Strip Charts Panel. Parameter 1 through Parameter 7 The seven user selectable parameters are available for plotting/displaying data. Lower Limit The lower limit for the Y-scale (normalized from 0 to 1). Upper Limit The upper limit for Y-scale (normalized from 0 to 1). Thus, if the speed range is specified at 0-100,000 and the speed is 96,000 rpm, then the normalized Y-scale is On/Off Controls the strip chart display. Fat Line, Thin Line Controls the Line style of the plotting activity.

51 CRMS (Maintenance Edition Chapter 9: MultiPac Display Window) Chapter 9: MultiPac Display Window The software defaults to the MicroTurbine Display window. To select the MultiPac Display, select [Window][MultiPac Display] from the CRMS Menu Bar or select MultiPac Display from the CRMS Tool Bar. Figure 9-1 presents an overall view of the MultiPac Display window. There are two key panels displayed: the MultiPac Display Panel with various selectable and non-selectable operating status and parameter displays, and the MultiPac Control Panel. Figure 9-1. MultiPac Display Window Rev H (December 2008) Page 9-1

52 CRMS (Maintenance Edition Chapter 9: MultiPac Display Window) MultiPac Display Panel The MultiPac Display Panel can display up to 100 MicroTurbines connected together as a single MultiPac system. See Figure 9-2. Note: The Site Configuration Panel should be properly setup, with the Total No Units equal to the greatest MicroTurbine No. set for any MultiPac MicroTurbines (see MultiPac Settings), and all MicroTurbines within the MultiPac should be activated. CRMS can support simultaneous communication with up to 100 MultiPac MicroTurbines. All units connected within a MultiPac system will be communicating with the Master MicroTurbine, and displayed on the MultiPac Display panel. However, the Master Turbine can control MultiPac Enabled MicroTurbines only. There are no settings required for the MultiPac Display Panel. CRMS will automatically detect the MultiPac System, acquiring and displaying data for each locked Micro Turbine. During connection to the MultiPac System, the background color for Turbine Number 1 (Master) is set as light blue (color). The background color for MultiPac Enabled MicroTurbines is set as white (color). Otherwise, the background color is set as gray (color). The MultiPac Display Panel will always display the following parameters: Fault Status, Unit Name, Turbine No, System State, Power (W), Speed (RPM), TET, and Battery SOC. An additional four parameters (Parameters 1 thru 4) can be custom selected and displayed on the MultiPac Display Panel. The following control settings are available from the MultiPac Display panel: MicroTurbine Fault Status An LED on the MultiPac Display provides immediate feedback on the MicroTurbine operating status. To view status and fault information, click on the status LED of the MultiPac Control panel. Parameter 1 thru Parameter 4 These controls are used to display Operatorselectable parameters on the MultiPac Display panel. Figure 9-2. MultiPac Display Rev H (December 2008) Page 9-2

53 CRMS (Maintenance Edition Chapter 9: MultiPac Display Window) MultiPac Control Panel The MultiPac Control Panel controls the MultiPac Controller (the Master MicroTurbine). It allows for: start/stop MultiPac operations, it controls and sets the type of communication, it sets power demand, and it sets different modes of operation. It also monitors system parameters and displays associated MultiPac controls. The MultiPac Control Panel has the same appearance, functionalities, and control settings as the MicroTurbine Control Panel. See Figure 9-3. In addition to the MicroTurbine Control Panel, the MultiPac Control Panel has the MultiPac Turbine selection control button. This button is located on the lower righthand corner of the MultiPac Control panel and allows the Operator to receive and view data from an individual MultiPac MicroTurbine. The default setting is MultiPac. In the case of other than the default selection, CRMS will acquire data from the MultiPac system for the selected MicroTurbine only. Selection (from MultiPac Turbine selection control button) of the MultiPac turbine, other than MultiPac Controller, allows for speedy acquisition and display of data. The MicroTurbine selection is synchronized with the MicroTurbine number, which is displayed on the System Strip Chart panel and on the Display Data windows. The acquisition data rate for a single MicroTurbine (that is not a part of a MultiPac System) depends upon the Acquisition Control Timer setting. The MicroTurbine Acquisition Control Timer setting can be changed via the Timers panel. The acquisition data rate for a MultiPac System (besides the Acquisition Control Timer setting) also depends upon the total number of MultiPac MicroTurbines. Refer to Chapter 18. In the case of selection (from the MultiPac Turbine selection control button) of the MultiPac MicroTurbine (other than MultiPac Controller), the acquisition data rate will be the same as for a single MicroTurbine. In this event, the Operator can display and review the MicroTurbine data with the same speed as for a single MicroTurbine. During MultiPac operation, there will be no communications with non-locked MicroTurbines. While connected to the MultiPac Controller, the Operator will be able to control any MultiPac MicroTurbine from the MultiPac Control Panel, including sending commands through the Command Panel interface, acquiring data, setting control parameters, and displaying Strip Charts.

79 CRMS (Maintenance Edition Chapter 15: Software Uploads) Chapter 15: Software Uploads This chapter presents information relative to Software Uploads. CRMS is able to load a single MicroTurbine, or up to 100 MicroTurbines connected to a MultiPac master. The uploading can be performed through different types of connections, either Serial, Modem, or Ethernet. The software uploading is fully automated. CRMS detects and loads code for different types of MicroTurbines and MultiPac systems. The uploading procedure depends on uploading of a single unit or MultiPac system, MicroTurbine configuration, type of controller and communication connection types. In case of communication errors, the program will resend the data. In case of a Code checksum error, the program will repeat the same uploading operation, and only after a second failure, will it continue the process by uploading the next turbine code segment or the next MicroTurbine. In case of MultiPac connection through the Power Server, CRMS supports uploading of mixed MicroTurbine types (that is, a grouping of Model C30 and Model C60 MicroTurbines). Controller Code Set The different controllers require loading different code set information. The controller software codeset can combine any of the following software code items: Main Boot Generator DSP Inverter DSP Battery Controller DSP Liquid Fuel Control (LFC) DSP Fuel Control Module (FCM) codes CPS Main and Backup codes The controller software codeset is userselectable from the Upload Control panel. The software distribution kit includes an information file that specifies the Code Versions and the Part Numbers for each of the software code items. Program verifies compatibility between selected upload software and controller type. The CPS Backup code uploading can be performed only from CRMS Depot Edition. Software Upload Settings Panel To open software uploading panel, select [Settings][Software Upload] from the CRMS Menu bar, or by clicking on the Software Upload icon of the CRMS Toolbar. See Figure The Select Upload Files Directory panel will appear on your computer screen.

The round toggle buttons for all locked turbines with the hardware type matching to upload software code set will be checked. The User can de-select all locked turbines by clicking on Deselect All. The User can manually select and de-select any locked turbine by clicking on any turbine s round toggle button. 7. Select the Program Now button to begin the uploading process. The software should begin uploading. Monitor the upload progress from the status display bars that are provided next to each code item. All software codes will be sequentially programmed. For MultiPac systems, the same code item will be loaded for all selected turbines and, only then, will the next sequential code item be loaded. During uploading, the user can change the upload software codeset and MultiPac turbine selections. However, any change in the Software Upload Settings will affect the correctness of the Upload Log file. The status and states for each uploaded turbine will be displayed on the status display bar, provided on the MultiPac Settings section, during uploading. Also, the current upload Turbine number will be displayed on the MultiPac Settings section in the Uploading to Turbine No: field. When the uploading is complete, the Status bar will indicate Code Uploading Complete and the Power Controller will automatically reboot. Upon completion of the reboot operation, the MicroTurbine(s) will be ready for operation. Canceling Software Uploading An Operator can cancel the Software Uploading activity at any time by clicking on the Cancel button. Color Coding The following colors are used to show the MicroTurbine status on the round toggle buttons: Blue: Indicates current loading event Red: Indicates failure Green: Indicates success Purple: Indicates a locked turbine Yellow: Indicates MultiPac master (Master turbine or CPS) The color-coding is used to indicate Micro Turbine uploading status on the round toggle buttons and Upload Code checkboxes. In case of MultiPac uploading, the color-coding for Upload Code checkbox will indicate upload status for entire MultiPac system. Log File Upon completion of software uploading, the detailed information about all software code items uploaded for each MultiPac MicroTurbine is saved into the MultiPac Upload Log File (identified as Uploadlog.txt). The Log File displays the results of software uploading for each MicroTurbine and in case of failure, reports the state at which the software uploading had failed. To review the Upload Log File, click on the MultiPac Log File button located on the MultiPac Settings section. The following information is saved in the Upload Log File: Successfully loaded turbines Failed upload turbines, with an indication of the sequential step when the failure occurred.

The following major PM devices can be part of the MicroTurbine system: Frame PM Engine PM Controller PM (DPC or LCM/ECM) Fuel Device PM Display PM Battery Controller PM CPU Control Board PM Power Board PM Battery Pack PM CHP Controller PM CPS Controller PM Depending on the system configuration, the MicroTurbine can include different combinations of PM devices. In order to successfully program all MicroTurbine PM Devices, the user should know precisely the system configuration including the system serial number and part number plus all of the subassembly part numbers and serial numbers. Any mistake in proper identification of the correct subassemblies during uploading of the PM Devices will cause a MicroTurbine malfunction. PM Write Panel To open the PM Write Panel, select [Settings] [PM Write] from the CRMS Menu Bar, or click on the PM Write icon from the CRMS Toolbar. See Figure Each of the PM data structures consists of a header file and a data file. Part Number and Serial Number Manufacturer Date, Location, and Test Information The different OEM manufacturers are responsible for servicing and maintaining their various MicroTurbines. The Manufacturer Location (ML) is a key factor in determining the overall responsibilities for servicing. CRMS has special rules for managing the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) PM devices. In this way, CRMS will not be functional (except for the PM Uploading feature) when the MicroTurbine has a Manufacturer Location number other than the exclusive number assigned to the specific OEM manufacturer. The OEM Service Providers will not be able to use the CRMS Program for any MicroTurbine with an ML different than their own OEM number. Depending upon the CRMS Program Registration Strings, the different ASP s will be allowed different rights for programming the Manufacturer Location field: The Capstone Authorized Service Provider (OEM No = ML No = 0) allows programming PM Devices only for a MicroTurbine with the manufacturer location ML = 0 ("0" is assigned as the Capstone Manufacturer Location number) or reprogramming PM devices with the existing system manufacturer location number. The OEM Service Providers with (ML No = OEM No > 0) are allowed to program PM modules devices only with an assigned OEM manufacturer location number. In the case of changing PM Manufacturer Locations by the OEM representative, the OEM Manufacturer will assume full ownership of the system, and will be fully responsible for all Warranty and Service obligations Rev H (December 2008) Page 16-1

83 CRMS (Maintenance Edition Chapter 16: PM Uploading) PM Uploading Procedures To upload PM Device data, perform the following steps: 1. Establish successful communications with the MicroTurbine. 2. Select the MicroTurbine unit. Click on the Select MicroTurbine pull-down menu on the PM Write panel. Select the MicroTurbine from the viewable list. 3. Click on the Browse button and specify the PM directory location where the PM files (or PM Program disc) reside. PM files installed during CRMS installation can be found in the PM subdirectory of the installation directory. Note: In the case of selecting PM files from the network, the network directory should be mapped to a network drive. 4. Decide on and identify the necessary PM devices to be programmed. Figure PM Write Panel CAUTION: Programming an incorrect PM device will cause the MicroTurbine to malfunction. 5. Click on the down arrow to the immediate right of a Device field. 6. Select the PM device from the viewable list. As a device type is selected, the OFF button located next to the number of the Program No slot will switch to an ON button. 7. To select a part number, click on the down arrow to the immediate right of the Part Number field, of the same Program No slot for which a device type was just selected. The CRMS program automatically detects the MicroTurbine type (C30, C60/C65, C200) and displays different sets of part numbers applicable to that MicroTurbine. The detected MicroTurbine type is indicated in the System type: field Rev H (December 2008) Page 16-2

84 CRMS (Maintenance Edition Chapter 16: PM Uploading) 8. Select the correct part number from the Part Number pull-down menu. Note 1: In the event there is not a correct part number located in the Part Number pull-down menu, contact your Capstone Technical Support Representative. Note 2: CRMS version (4.41 and higher) will require use of 2.09 PM Programmer (or higher) version. CRMS version 4.34 (or lower) will only be compatible with PM Programmers version 2.08 (or lower). The PM Programmer version is installed in the PM directory of the CRMS installation directory. Contact your Capstone Technical Support Representative for the newest PM Programmer version updates. Caution: Programming an incorrect PM part number will cause the MicroTurbine to malfunction. 9. Type a 6-digit serial number within the SN field, for that same Program No slot for which a part number was just selected, and press the Enter key on the computer keyboard. 10. The Barcode and Description fields will automatically update based on the part number selected and the serial number entered. Note 1: The Operator can use the barcode scanner for selecting and entering serial and part numbers. In this way, the part number and serial number will be automatically updated based on the barcode information. Note 2: The Operator can elect to manually type in the barcode information by clicking on the Enter Barcode button of the same Program No. slot for which a device type was just selected. 11. Verify that both the part number and the device descriptions agree with the MicroTurbine hardware configuration. 12. Select the Program command button to begin the PM uploading process. The software should start the PM uploading. 13. Monitor the progress from the Status window and from the Program progress bar. When the uploading is complete, the Status window will indicate PM Program Complete and the Power Controller will automatically reboot. 14. Upon completion of the rebooting, the MicroTurbine will be ready to operate. Note: During uploading of a Fuel Control Module (FCM) fuel device PM, a prompt panel is displayed that gives the current FCM valve calibration offset of the valve. This helps the operator determine whether or not the value needs to be changed. If the FCM is a dual valve device (C200), a second prompt panel is displayed that shows the current calibration offset of the second valve. Observe the following guidelines during the upload operation. Note 1: During the PM uploading, the mouse pointer will change to a Busy style pointer. The operator must wait until the mouse pointer changes back to its original style following the completion of a Power Controller reboot operation. Note 2: If the Frame PM has been programmed, then the State field of the MicroTurbine Panel has been set to BAD CONFIG. This means that the utility connection has been re-programmed to zero (default value), and should be reset within the Control Settings window. Note 3: Special care should be taken while uploading GSPV and SPV Fuel Device PM information. The PM data for these devices contains calibration information that is specific for each valve (LVDT Offset, Position MAX, PI Max Command), and should be entered by the Operator during the PM uploading process. It is strongly recommended that the Operator NOT attempt to program these devices. The changing of calibration values for GSPV and SPV PM devices will cause MicroTurbine malfunctions. Programming Error Messages Error messages during programming will be displayed in the Status window text box. In case of failure in uploading any of the PM devices, the program will automatically repeat the upload operation. In case of a second failure, the upload operation will be aborted Rev H (December 2008) Page 16-3

85 CRMS (Maintenance Edition Chapter 16: PM Uploading) Canceling the PM Uploading An Operator can cancel the PM uploading activity at any time by clicking on the Cancel button. Checking Hardware Configuration After programming the PM devices, it is good practice to verify the hardware configuration. To verify the hardware configuration, select [Display] [Configuration] from the menu bar of the MicroTurbine control panel. Changing PM Manufacturer Locations In some cases, the OEM Manufacturer may find it necessary to change the PM Manufacturer Location (ML) without changing the rest of PM data structure. This task can be accomplished by clicking on the Change Manufacturer command button. In this case, the PM uploading process will only upload the header files containing information about PM Manufacturer Locations. During the change of manufacturer process, the program will automatically reconfigure the PM Write panel for all existing MicroTurbine hardware. The Change Manufacturer command button allows for automatic PM files selection and speedy change of the Manufacturer Location number in the PM. This feature assumes that all subassembly devices have been programmed with the correct part number and the correct serial number. Note: During the change of manufacturer number for the GSPV and SPV fuel devices, respond to the prompt that appears on the screen: "While placing the cursor in a DOS Window, please hit 'ENTER' key, until the DOS Windows disappears."

88 CRMS (Maintenance Edition Chapter 18: File Management) Chapter 18: File Management This chapter presents the File Management functions. Data Recording The CRMS program allows for separate recording of data from any MicroTurbine or MultiPac master. MicroTurbine data is logged to a file in realtime. Information is stored in commaseparated-value format organized in files based on the MicroTurbine designation, data acquisition type, date, and time. The File Record Status LED is displayed in the lower right-hand corner of the MicroTurbine Control Panel. It indicates whether or not the MicroTurbine is currently saving data. If the LED turns green, then the data is being saved. If the LED turns gray, then the MicroTurbine data is not being saved. Specifying Record Parameters Before proceeding with saving the data, the user should select the recorded parameters. A list of available parameters is displayed on MicroTurbine Data 1, MicroTurbine Data 2, and DAQ Data Windows. See Figure Figure MicroTurbine Data Panel and Settings To view the MicroTurbine Data parameters select [Window][MicroTurbine Data] from the CRMS Menu Bar. The recorded parameter can be selected from these windows by clicking on the parameter Record switch. The recorded parameter should be selected for each MicroTurbine or MultiPac master. There will be no data saving if no parameters have been selected from the corresponding MicroTurbine Data Window. File Manager Settings To open the File Manager panel, click on the File Status LED, located on the MicroTurbine Control Panel, or select the File Manager icon from the CRMS Toolbar. See Figure The user can save data automatically. When auto-recording is selected, the file manager automatically records data when the engine speed is equal to or exceeds the set value. The following settings are available: o Data Records Selection Select Turbine Select MicroTurbine and the box with the data-type records you would like to save. o Data Recording Data Recording (Auto versus Manual) If Manual is selected, the Start Recording button must be turned on to begin recording data to file. If Auto is selected, the data will only be recorded when the Engine speed >= to the specified value. This prevents data from being recorded when the engine is shutdown Rev H (December 2008) Page 18-1

89 CRMS (Maintenance Edition Chapter 18: File Management) o Creating Files Create New File Select the time interval: Daily or Hourly, and the new file will be created. File Length (hrs) Specifies the length of time before a new file is generated. This is valid only for Hourly selection. Create New File Now By clicking this button, the data for the selected MicroTurbine will be immediately saved in a newly created file. o Disk Status Monitor Disk Status Allows for monitoring of the disk space being utilized by current data recording activity. Min Disk KB Warning Warns user about exceeding the minimum of the available disk memory o File Location Default Directory Specify the default directory into which the file will be saved. The specified directory will also be the default directory for Fault traces, Log files, and Incident files. The specified directory should not include any special characters within the directory name. Figure File Management Panel Rev H (December 2008) Page 18-2

90 CRMS (Maintenance Edition Chapter 18: File Management) Specifying Record Timing Rate The Record Timing Rate may be defined via the Timers panel. To specify the record timing rate, select [View][Timers] from the CRMS Menu Bar, or click on the Timers icon from the CRMS Toolbar. See Figure It is suggested that the recorded timing rate be the same as (or greater than) the MicroTurbine Data Acquisition rate. In this case, there will be no repetitive saving of the same data. The MicroTurbine Data Acquisition rate cannot be faster than the accumulated time used for sending commands and for receiving the command response. Figure Timers Panel Rev H (December 2008) Page 18-3

91 CRMS (Maintenance Edition Chapter 18: File Management) For MultiPac Systems, the MicroTurbine data for each Turbine is acquired sequentially, one after the other. For this reason, the accumulated acquisition rate for acquiring MultiPac data will depend mostly on the number of MultiPac MicroTurbines. T MultiPac = T Acquire x N Turbine Where: T MultiPac equals MultiPac Acquisition Rate T Acquire equals Data Acquisition Rate N Turbine equals No. Of MultiPac Turbines The recording timing rate for the MultiPac System should be set corresponding to the MultiPac Acquisition Data rate. Data Path Data files are stored in the \data directory, found under the installation directory. There is a separate directory for each MicroTurbine site: C:\pathname\data\site id Where pathname is the user-selected installation directory. Each data file is time and date stamped when created. See Figure The form of the filename is as follows: Yyyymmddhhmmsst.csv For example, if the file is created on 9 May 1999 at 2:34:45 pm, the resultant file name is as follows: t.csv Note: The control date and time (from the MicroTurbine Controller) may not match with your computer's date and time. Thus, you may notice a difference between the time and date filename and the Control Time and Date recorded in the file. Log Files An event of any change in operational states, including starts, stops, and faults is logged as a record to a file. See Figure This information is written to a commaseparated text file (log.csv). The event log records the following items: Time/Date Operational State Hours kwh Current Fault Code To view the log file, select [Display] [Log] from the MicroTurbine menu bar. The log data is stored in the data directory, found under the installation directory. There is a separate directory for each site. The log file is automatically created after the first event occurs, and can be found at: c:\pathname\data\site id\log\log.csv Where the pathname is the operatorselected installation directory.

93 CRMS (Maintenance Edition Chapter 20: Command Line Control) Chapter 20: Command Line Control This chapter describes the steps required to set the command line controls. The operator may control the MicroTurbine and retrieve MicroTurbine data by sending individual commands from the Command Line Panel. A different level of access is required for different command and control operations. When CRMS is initially connected to the MicroTurbine, through any of the serial ports, the MicroTurbine Control Panel does not have control. The operator can only view the relevant information. Once the operator has entered the protected level password, the operator will have the ability to change control settings. After a period of inactivity, the user and maintenance serial ports revert to their unprotected state. The Power Controller provides various prompts based upon the access level and the communication port as summarized in Table Table Maintenance and User Prompts USR> Prompt USRPRT> MNT> MNTPRT> CPC> CPCPRT> Description User port, no password required, data acquisition only User port, protected level password required, data acquisition and limited control Maintenance port, lowest level, data acquisition only Maintenance port, protected level password required, data acquisition and limited control Communication through CPC, no password required, data acquisition only Communication through CPC, protected level password required, data acquisition and limited control Rev H (December 2008) Page 20-1

94 CRMS (Maintenance Edition Chapter 20: Command Line Control) Command Structure The communications interface is a queryresponse from a prompt message, with the external device providing the query to the Power Controller. Each query is in the form of a message. A typical message contains a command, an optional turbine identification number, and command arguments. Arguments provide additional information to process the command. The command syntax provides for multiple units operating as a single package. The command structure is as follows: <cmd> [,<turb#>] [=<args>] where, <cmd> = 6 ASCII characters identifying the function to execute <turb#> = the turbine number (use 0 for now <args> = the sequence of ASCII text supplied to the <cmd>. For example, in order to command 30 KW (30,000 Watts), the following command is issued: PWRDMD = And, the response string is as follows: PWRDMD,0=3.0000e+04 Notice that all non-printing characters, including carriage return, line feed, space and tab characters, are ignored by the Power Controller. Contact Capstone Technical Support for information regarding the Capstone RS-232 Query Protocol. Control Line Command Panel Control commands can be monitored and issued from the Control Line Command panel. See Figure To display the Control Line Command panel, select the following: [Communication][Command Line] from the MicroTurbine Menu Bar. Be sure to contact Capstone Technical Support prior to issuing Control Line commands. A qualified Service Representative will provide you with any assistance you may require. o Controller Response The controller response area on the Control Line Command panel displays the commands sent to and responses from the MicroTurbine. When communicating to the MicroTurbine real-time, the ALLDAT command is sent by CRMS, and the response string is displayed. o Send Message To send a command to the MicroTurbine Controller, enter the command in the Send Message field. The response will be displayed in the command response window. All operator commands are saved and can be resent by selecting them from the pull-down menu located on the righthand side of the Send Message field. By placing the cursor inside the Send Message field and pressing the left arrow key, the operator can display the previously sent commands, starting from the most recently sent. Pressing the right arrow key will display commands in opposite direction towards the last sent command. By pressing the Enter key, the displayed command will be sent. The operator can clear all operatorsent commands by selecting Clear List control from the pull-down menu. o Clear Display To clear the controller response window, select the Clear button. o Record Comm to File To record communication data to a file.

98 CRMS (Maintenance Edition Chapter 22: Remote Dispatch Overview) Chapter 22: Remote Dispatch Overview This chapter presents remote dispatch information. Remote monitoring can be conducted through a modem or via TCP/IP connection. CRMS can monitor up to 100 MicroTurbines. This action may be accomplished through TCP/IP connections, connection to a MultiPac System Controller, or through modem scheduled connections. Modem Scheduled Connection Each MicroTurbine Communication Settings Panel can be configured with Scheduled Connection. Thus, several MicroTurbines can be monitored in almost real-time with one modem connection. See Figure The dial-up scheduler automatically dials the remote MicroTurbine, then connects, obtains the current status of the MicroTurbine operation (including fault information), and then disconnects. If the auto option is set on the Send panel, the program will send notification. In the event two calls are scheduled at the same time, CRMS queries the events until the modem is available. Ethernet Communication The Capstone Protocol Converter (identified as the CPC-100) provides the ability for connection to a MicroTurbine over an Ethernet network (or via a TCP/IP connection). See Figure By using a network connection, the Operator can reliably communicate to any MicroTurbine equipped with a CPC. There is almost no limitation to the number of MicroTurbines that may be connected through an Ethernet network.

103 CRMS (Maintenance Edition Chapter 24: RS-232 Interface) Chapter 24: RS-232 Interface This chapter presents RS-232 interface information. The MicroTurbine Controller provides two serial ports for communication interface: User Port (9-pin) Maintenance Port (25-pin) Overview of RS232 Interface The operator may connect a computer (using a null modem adapter) or a modem (direct serial-to-serial cable) to either the maintenance port or the user port. A modem connected to the Maintenance Port or to the User Port, is detected automatically and configured for automatic answer by the Power Controller software as part of the configuration check during the power up sequence. The default hardware configuration for each port is 57,600 bits per second, 8-bit word length, no parity, and hardware handshake for flow control. User Serial Port Connector Pinouts The user port is a standard DB9 type 9-pin connector with the same pinouts as a Wintel computer serial port.

105 CRMS (Maintenance Edition Chapter 25: TCP/IP Interface) Chapter 25: TCP/IP Interface This chapter presents TCP/IP interface information. Capstone Protocol Converter The Capstone Protocol Converter (CPC- 100) provides the ability to use the standard Capstone MicroTurbine commands over a TCP/IP network connection, or over a local or wide area network. See Figure Figure Capstone Protocol Converter Protocol Converter Overview With the CPC-100, multiple users may connect to the same MicroTurbine simultaneously, at different password levels. All control, monitoring, and maintenance functions, including software upload, may be accomplished over the network. The CPC Lock Switch, located on the Communication Settings Panel, allows blocking another user from communication with the MicroTurbine (or CPC). After shutting down the communication or exiting CRMS program, the CPC will be automatically placed in the unlock condition. The maximum data-transfer rate for the CPC is determined by the maximum data-transfer speed through the MicroTurbine serial port. Eight LED indicators are provided to indicate connection and operation status. In addition to the network connection, the Capstone Protocol Converter allows interface communication with the MicroTurbine or CPS Power Server over the built-in CPC modem. See Figure The CPC-100 connects to either the maintenance or user port through regular serial communication cable to the CPC-100 port marked TERMINAL. The CPC-100 port marked ETHERNET should be connected to the local network. Contact Capstone Technical Support for additional details regarding your CPC Rev H (December 2008) Page 25-1

108 CRMS (Maintenance Edition Chapter 25: TCP/IP Interface) Serial to Ethernet Converter The Serial to Ethernet Converter is a standalone protocol converter device that provides the ability to use Capstone MicroTurbine RS-232 commands over a TCP/IP 10/100 Base-T network connection, and can be used for transmission over a LAN or the internet between a MicroTurbine and a PC using CRMS. The Converter may be installed to replace a previously installed Capstone Protocol Converter without a modem in the Capstone Power Server (CPS). The single port Serial to Ethernet Converter is shown in Figure 25-3, and the dual port Serial to Ethernet Converter is shown in Figure This combination (Serial to Ethernet Converter and Industrial Modem) provides the same basic functions as the Capstone Protocol Converter with hardware common to that used in the MicroTurbines. The single port converter connects to the User port on a MicroTurbine or CPS. The dual port converter connects to the User and Maintenance ports on a MicroTurbine.
