Typical operation of the microturbine is presented in the following paragraphs. 3.1. Basic Microturbine Operation Most microturbine applications require no regular interaction with an operator during normal operation. Built-in dispatch features include peak shaving with local or remote control, external switch control, programmable scheduling, automatic restart, and automatic loading. Applications with the C200 hazardous location microturbine require the use of the Capstone hazardous location controller to monitor external inputs such as gas detection and pressure sensing, and to intelligently control normal operation. The hazardous location microturbine operates in Stand Alone mode only, but all built-in dispatch modes remain the same, except for auto restart functionality, which is unavailable. Refer to the C200 Hazardous Location Application Guide (480047) for details. 3.1.1. Communications There are two ways to communicate with the microturbine, either (1) via manual operation of the display panel, or (2) via digital communications through the user port or maintenance port. Refer to Using the Display Panel on page 26 for details of display panel operation. A PC may be connected to the user port directly (with a RS-232 null modem cable or using a Serial–to–Ethernet converter) or via a phone line and optional modem. Communication is then possible by use of the optional Capstone Remote Monitoring Software (CRMS) on the PC, or other program that uses Capstone’s open communication protocol. With a Modbus Translator connected to the user port, a customer can also use a RS-485 Modbus network to communicate with the microturbine. The set-up, control, and basic performance of the microturbine can be monitored and adjusted through the user port or maintenance port. Primary user communications include: • Start and stop functions • Adjustment of power output • Storage and display of operation history • The configuration of operational parameters • Battery management functions A C200 hazardous location microturbine, with pressurized enclosure, does not have a display panel. Instead, the Capstone hazardous location controller is used to monitor and control the operation of the microturbine. The controller is connected to the user interface terminal block on the hazardous location microturbine for communication. A connection for remote monitoring via CRMS is made available through the Ethernet switch in the controller, and not directly to the microturbine. Refer to the C200 Hazardous Location Application Guide (480047) for details. 400008 Rev G (October 2013) Page 23 of 64 Capstone reserves the right to change or modify, without notice, the design, specifications, and/or contents of this document without incurring any obligation either with respect to equipment previously sold or in the process of construction.
