8. User s Manual iii SICES 1 Introduction SicesSupervisor is an application developed on PCs in a Windows environment for the Supervision of generator sets controlled by boards manufactured by SICES s r l This application has been designed to provide customers with an user friendly supervision system which allows them to monitor plant parameters and measurements It can manage all the plants using SICES boards These are single generator sets or multiple parallel sets emergency plants power supply plants or plants operating in parallel to the electric mains This application can be configured Thanks to it the user can create and manage simultaneously as many configurations as the plants to be controlled Each plant configuration is totally independent and can be configured to mirror the reference system Board measurements and parameters are acquired and stored with procedures that can be programmed by the user the default configurations are already excellent These data can be stored in standard formats to allow the user to file and process them easily even outside the application These data can be examined within the application using its instruments even offline it is possible to connect to the plant download data close the connection and then process the downloaded data This application can be configured automatically It is able to recognize automatically the connected board type and adapis to it It displays and makes

20. Setting a Parameter SicesSupervisor does not allow modifying only one parameter of the board It needs necessarily to overwrite them all Therefore we recommend sticking to the following procedure to avoid any problems 1 Open the plant in on line mode open the detailed window of the desired board and then open the parameter window 2 If necessary enter an access code for programming 3 Wait for the current board parameter values to be displayed under the Value column 4 Click on the Read button the current parameters will copied to the New Value column 5 Modify only the desired parameters under the New Value column The other parameters will keep the values currently stored in the board To modify a parameter go to the corresponding case and enter the updated value 6 Click on the Transmit button all the values under the New Value column will be sent and stored in the board To send all the parameters keep the SHIFT key pressed while clicking on Transmit Otherwise only the modified parameters will be sent 7 Wait a few seconds and check that the modified values are displayed under the Value column Bit programming Some parameters are programmable by bits i e every bit belonging to the parameter value has a specific meaning In this case a bit programming window is displayed by clicking on the parameter 34 User s Manual SICES bit mapped parameter editing eles Description 022 Over
