The GX device interfaces with the ComAp InteliLite 4 series genset controllers via the Modbus protocol, using a mandatory ComAp CM3-Ethernet module as the communication channel. This setup enables the GX device to read and send data from the InteliLite 4 panel.
Automatic Detection:
Utilizing a specific identification string found in Modbus register 1307, the GX device can automatically detect the presence of a ComAp InteliLite 4 controller. This feature ensures that all modules prefixed with ‘InteliLite4-‘ are recognized by the GX device, simplifying the setup process by negating the need for manual input of device details.
Data Accessibility:
Once connected, the GX device can read out various parameters from the genset controller, such as AC data, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and other status readings. The system also supports digital start/stop signaling, allowing for remote control of the genset directly from the GX device.
Supported Controllers:
The InteliLite 4 series genset controllers that are compatible with the GX device include:
- InteliLite 4 AMF 25, 20, 9, and 8
- InteliLite 4 MRS 16
This integration ensures that users with these specific controllers can fully utilize the monitoring and control capabilities offered by the GX device.
Compatibility with Other Controllers:
While the system may work with other ComAp controllers, this functionality is untested and not guaranteed. The key requirement for compatibility is that the Modbus registers of any ComAp controller must align with the default register mapping of the InteliLite 4. Users can refer to the appendix for an overview of all Modbus registers and their mappings for the InteliLite 4 controller to assess potential compatibility with other units.
Ethernet Modules:
In addition to the CM3-Ethernet module, the standard CM-Ethernet module might also function with the GX device, although this has not been officially tested and thus, its use would be experimental.
Overall, this integration offers a robust solution to manage and monitor their genset controllers, providing a comprehensive overview of genset status and the convenience of remote operation within the GX device interface.
