DST4602 & DST4602Evolution are the top products among the
controllers for gensets.
They are particularly designed for complex plants, where there
is the need of a huge number of settings, functions and
parameters aimed at managing the genset and its auxiliary
circuits.
DST4602 & DST4602Evolution are highly configurable genset
controllers for advanced multiple and single synchro/parallel
applications. In details, they allow the connection up to 24
gensets on the same bus working in island mode, and even
the control of gensets running in synchro/parallel with the
mains.
Thanks to the high configurable level of the controllers and the
PLC inbuilt functions with PID block, DST4602 &
DST4602Evolution can be well used for CHP power plants
composed by Gas, Diesel Biofule, Dualfuel gensets.
DST4602 & DST4602Evolution are designed to allow an easy
installation thanks to its internal Load Sharing, Synchronizer
and VAR regulation.
DST4602 & DST4602Evolution include the CAN J1939 interface
used by a wide range of engines (Volvo Penta, Scania, Perkins,
MTU, Deutz, Cummins, John Deere, Caterpillar and others) and
they can be also used with standard and traditional engines,
whose measurements are performed by the embedded
analogue interfaces.
DST4602 & DST4602Evolution can be used together with several
Sices controllers like GC500, GC500Plus/Mains and DST4601/PX.
In case of multiple gensets in parallel with the mains where the
back synchro is required, DST4602 & DST4602Evolution can be
interfaced with the common parallel management controller
MC100. In that way, any lack is avoided.
The adjustable parameters of the controllers allow their use for
standard and customized tasks. Parameters are programmed
using the free software tool (BoardPRG), which can be freely
downloaded thorough Sices website. It is also possible to set
them directly by the keyboard of the controllers. The software
for setting PLC logic (Plc Editor) is also available for free.
The large graphic display is a user-friendly human interface,
which is useful for an immediate visualization of measures and The MODE selection is available in 2 versions:
alarms coming form the genset.
DST4602 has a powerful LCD display whose features are  With selector key
recommended also in critical environmental conditions.  With push buttons.
On the other hand, DST4602Evolution has an enhanced and
impressive 7’’ colour display with TFT technology. Engine START and STOP pushbutton.
It is possible to improve the human interface, using D- ACK/MODE (acoustic alarm silencing and other aux. functions).

panel and read through the display.
DST4602 & DST4602Evolution provide several communications
devices/tools for local or remote control.
In addition, in case of complex plants like Oil&Gas stations,
their inbuilt protections can be increased by using an external
protection relay called D-PRO, expanding the functions already
included into the controllers.

Innovative and automatic sequence already built-in DST4602
genset controller that allows to achieve a fast synchronization
and paralleling of many gensets comprising in an
emergency power station in a maximum time of 9 - 15 sec.
(based on the alternator and engine features).
The advanced system called “Fast Paralleling” is an effective
solution for those sensitive realities where any mains failure,
even for a few seconds, could cause huge problems for the
security of people and data and create damages for the
production processes (banks, hospitals, data centres, etc…)
Using the Fast Paralleling system, gensets are switched on,
synchronized and ready to supply the loads in a few seconds
from the mains failure signal.
How?
 In case of mains failure, Sices genset control panel gets a
signal from the existing ATS in order to start to run the stand-
by gensets.
 The new operation logic implemented in DST4602 controls the
status of gensets, checking which of them are ready and
available to start and take the load.
 Gensets start to work all together with the relevant circuit
breakers already closed.
 By means of a safety and proper control of speed ramp and
excitation range, gensets are simultaneously brought to the
rated conditions.
 All gensets are therefore ready and in parallel in 9-15 seconds
max. (based on the engines and alternator types).
 The load is supplied by all gensets running in parallel.
 If one or more gensets don’t start to work at the first starter,
the control logic opens the relevant alternator circuit breaker.
The other gensets can go ahead with the fast starting
operations.
 The genset that has reached the rated conditions with delay,
can be inserted afterwards making the usual synchro
operations.

(MASTER) (BACK-UP)

In really sensitive contests, it is necessary to ensure a safety control of the gensets.

Basically, a reliable control is achieved using a “Master unit” that controls the start/stop, the alarms and the engine/generator protec-
tions, combined to a “Back-up unit”.
The “Master unit” is equipped with a self-diagnostic system (watch dog), able to detect any failure of the controller. After an elapsed
and settable time of communication, the “Back-up unit” automatically switches on taking responsibility of the genset process.
When the “Master unit” is ON, the “Back-up unit” is OFF and vice-versa. In that way, there is no danger of failed command between
the controllers.
The redundancy available is defined “warm type”, considering that 6-7 seconds are required before the “Back-up unit” is activated.

It is possible to configure the redundancy of the controllers as follows.

For each genset:

A) 2 x DST4602 compact

B) 2 x DST4602 SCM + N.1 DST4602 HMI (display).

With the case b) there is one common display (DST4602 HMI) and the backup is done on DST4602 SCM (the internal box).

DST4602 SCMT (MASTER) DST4602Evolution - HMI DST4602 SCMT (BACK-UP)

 Remote

For each local DST4602 & DST4602Evolution it is possible to add one or more remote DST4602 controllers, usually called
DST4602Remote.
This solution is usually recommended in case of remote control room where a supervision of the genset from a remote station is
necessary.

Thanks to this controller it is possible to visualize the measures, parameters and status of a local DST4602, as the Operator is in
front of the local controller.

Connection between DST4602 / DST4602Evolution and DST4602Remote:

 Via RS485 Modbus RTU (max 800mt)
 Via Ethernet TCP/IP (max distance 100mt without any hub). If via Ethernet, it iss possible to connect several DST4602 Remote to
one local controller.

Graphic display:
DST4602Remote is equipped with a powerful 7’’ colour graphic display TFT - 800x480 pixel

Controls:
 Selector key: COMMAND DISABLED - COMMAND ENABLED - REMOTE RESET:
○ Command disabled: no operation is allowed
○ Command enable: all operations are allowed
○ Remote reset: reset of alarms/shutdown

In order to increase the safety of the system, It is possible to set a password on the local controller and on the remote one.
By inserting the proper password, it is possible to enable the command from remote.
REMOTE START: Push button used to start the genset from remote.
The starting is enabled if the selector key of the local controller is in AUTO mode.

REMOTE STOP: Push button used to stop the genset from remote.
If the genset has been started by the DST4602/RC, pushing the “REMOTE STOP”, the genset stops conclud-
ing the cooling operations.
If the genset has been started by the local DST4602, pushing the “REMOTE STOP”, the genset immediately
stops without any cooling operations.

GCB: Push button for the manual opening/closure of the Genset Circuit Breaker.

MCB: Disabled.

DST4602Remote is equipped with a configurable Output. This Output can be used to connect an external horn or to set up a
communication failure as watch dog.

In addition or alternatively to the display of the DST4602 & DST4602 Evolution, it is possible to provide Nr.1 Coloured touch panel
called D-MONITOR.

It allows a powerful visualization of all measures and statuses of the plant.

In addition, in case of CHP Plants, it is possible to customize the graphic, showing the thermic equipment of the circuit.
