Overview
The DKG500 is a microprocessor-based generator set controller that provides automatic engine start/stop sequencing, AC power monitoring, and alarm protection for single diesel or gas generator units. It integrates digital measurement, programmable logic, and communication interfaces into a single panel-mounted module.
Key Features
- Digital Microprocessor Control — Advanced MCU-based generator controller with precise measurement and protection algorithms for diesel/gas generator sets
- Multi-Function LCD Display — Backlit graphical LCD with real-time parameter display, alarm indication, and multi-language support
- CANbus J1939 Engine Communication — Direct ECU interface for electronic engines with diagnostic code display and parameter read/write capability
- Comprehensive AC Monitoring — Generator and mains voltage, current, frequency, active/reactive power, power factor, and energy metering
- Configurable Protection — 16 programmable alarm and shutdown thresholds with adjustable delay timers for engine and generator parameters
- PC Configuration Software — Free Rainbow Plus software for parameter setting, monitoring, and firmware updates via USB/RS485
