Digital input Continuous
If this digital input function is configured, then this digital input
must be activated in order to close the shaft generator breaker.
10.4.7 Engine states as digital outputs
You can configure a digital output with a function for an engine state. The controller activates the digital output if the engine state is
present. These can be useful for troubleshooting.
Outputs
Assign the function to a digital output under
Configure > Input/output
. Select a hardware module with a digital output, then select
the output to configure.

Digital output
Continuous
Activated if there is running detection for the engine.
Engine > State > Not running
Digital output
Continuous
Activated if there is no running detection for the engine.
10.4.8 Engine operating values as analogue outputs
You can configure an analogue output with a function for an engine operating value. The controller receives this value from an
engine measurement. The controller then adjusts the analogue output to reflect the engine operating value.
Assign the function to an analogue output under
Configure > Input/output
. Select a hardware module with an analogue output,
then select the output to configure.

Engine operating value outputs
Function
I/O
Units Details
Engine > Running detection
> Oil [bar]
Analogue output bar
The controller outputs the engine oil pressure. For this function to work,
there must be an analogue input to the controller with the engine oil
pressure.
Engine > Running detection
> MPU [RPM]
Analogue output RPM
The controller outputs the engine speed. For this function to work, there
must be an active MPU/W/NPN/PNP input to the controller with the engine
speed.
Applications
An analogue output with an engine operating value may be wired to a switchboard instrument, to help the operator. For example, the
oil pressure can be displayed.
10.4.9 Shaft generator regulation
You can use the SHAFT generator controller regulate a shaft generator, in just the same way as you would use a GENSET controller
to regulate a genset. You can use shaft generator regulation to transfer load directly from one shaft generator to another.
INFO
To use this function, the shaft generator must support regulation.
