The SELCO C6200 module provides integrated frequency stabilization, voltage stabilization, check/automatic synchronisation, active/reactive load sharing, integrated protection, basic and programmable I/O and data acquisition. Finally, the C6200 module can operate with other C6200 modules and interface with the SIGMA S6500 User Interface Module via the CAN bus or SCADA designed power management system via MOD bus.
C6200 Module 3 Installation The C6200 module is secured to the rear of the switch board using four 5 mm. screws. DIN rail mounting is not advisable due to the weight of the module. Please ensure that enough space is given around the module so that the plug-in terminals can be removed and reinserted.
In marine installations ground and common reference (COM) should not be connected together. In a ship installation the hull is the “ground”. Connecting any of the COM connections on the C6200 module to ground (hull) or switchboard chassis may cause instability within the system.
5.1 Power Supply The electronics of the C6200 module are powered by one power supply. The supply operates on a nominal voltage of +24 V DC and the supply will tolerate wide variations in the supply voltage.

SELCO A/S C6200 Module The phases L1 & L2 of the bus bar and generator source should be connected to L1 & L2 of the bus bar/generator VOLTAGE INPUTS plug-in terminals. Intermediate 2 A slow-blow fuses should be inserted between the individual phases and the related voltage inputs. It is very important that the phases are connected in the correct order.
C6200 Module 5.3 Current Inputs The C6200 module measures current through an external current transformer (CT). The C6200 module is available in two different variants; one is for 5 A CTs and one for 1 A CTs. Please ensure that you have the correct variant of the module before proceeding with the installation.
SELCO A/S C6200 Module Correct measurement of the current is extremely important, as the C6200 module relies upon the current measurements for the calculation of power factors, active currents/loads, reactive currents/loads, integrated protection functions and load sharing. 5.4 Programmable Inputs The programmable input connector houses a number of digital inputs.
C6200 modules. The signal level of the parallel lines can also be adapted to suit other types of SELCO load sharers (e.g. the SELCO T-series). In case the automatic voltage regulator (AVR) is not controlled by the C6200, it is not necessary to connect the kVAr balance line.
C6200 Module 5.7 GOV/AVR Control Two sets of analogue outputs are provided on-board by the C6200 module. The analogue outputs are intended for direct control of electronic speed governor and/or AVR. Each analogue output can be configured to provide a DC voltage within the range of -10 to +10 V DC, a DC current within the range of 0 to 20 mA or a PWM signal with a default base frequency of 500 Hz.
C6200 Module 5.8.1 C/B The C/B input provides feedback from the generator circuit breaker and is used by the C6200 module to determine if the breaker is open or closed. C/B is typically connected to COM through an auxiliary contact of the breaker. The breaker is considered closed by the C6200 module when the C/B input is at COM level.
SELCO A/S C6200 Module 5.9 C/B Close This connector includes the terminals of the changeover relay for closure of the circuit breaker. The C/B close relay has two contact sets and is normally de-energized by default. Note that this relay can be reconfigured to normally energized operation.
5.13 Analogue Outputs Two analogue outputs are provided on-board by the C6200 module. The analogue outputs are intended for use with third party meters or measuring equipment. Each of the two outputs can be individually configured in relation to any one of the measured or calculated parameters provided by the C6200 module.
SELCO A/S C6200 Module The analogue outputs can be used for external indication on meters or to provide analogue readings to e.g. a PLC. Terminal Description Signal Connection ANALOG OUTPUT 1 VDC DC voltage External voltage input ANALOG OUTPUT 2 VDC...
B. It is not necessary to connect external resistors. The C6200 contains internal end of line resistors for the RS485 bus. They can be activated by DIP switch 5 on the front of the C6200. Therefore, on the first and on the last unit on the RS485 bus DIP switch 5 has to be switched to ON.
B. It is not necessary to connect external resistors. The C6200 contains internal end of line resistors for the CAN bus that can be activated by dip switch 6 on the front of C6200. Therefore, on the first and on the last unit on the CAN bus dip switch 6 has to be switched to ON. Every C6200 module of the installation must be connected to the same CAN bus network.
