Cat Genset Monitoring System (GMS)

Cat Genset Monitoring System (GMS)

The Genset Monitoring System (GMS) provides protection, monitoring, and control for a single 3600 diesel generator set utilizing a digital based control panel housed in an IP55 enclosure. All critical shutdowns are a relay-based protection. Contactors are wired directly to the junction panel when an accessory module is ordered and is factory packaged. Use of the GMS eliminates the need for a separate gauge panel and annunciator panel. Accepts remote signals for starting/interlock, stopping, and emergency stop. All monitored parameters and status signals are available over MODBUS RS485 network. A default Ethernet connection is available for connection.

Simple user friendly interface and navigation
Provides protection, monitoring, and control of the generator set
Redundant shutdown protection
5.7 inch (145 mm) color monitor to display all engine parameters and alarm annunciation
Annunciation of all engine shutdowns, alarms, and status points
Start/prelube control switch, fuel control switch and emergency stop button
Selection of local/remote control of engine
Selection of idle/rated control of engine
Equipped for remote communication from the panel
Relay outputs available: energize to run, energize to stop, air shutoff, prelube, air start and local remote
Optional output available for alarms and faults
