Local human-machine interface provides immediate data on AVR status. UNITROL 1010 is a compact device with limited functionality and is designed for excitation currents up to 10 A nominal. It supports the same interfaces and has the same mechanical footprint as UNITROL 1020. UNITROL 1000-PM40 is the power module that extends the output current of the UNITROL 1020 up to 40 A. The UNITROL 1000 family has freely configurable measurement and analog or digital I/Os. The configuration is done via the local human-machine interface or CMT1000 software. Power terminals – 3 phase excitation power input – 3 phase auxiliary power input (control power supply) – Excitation output Measurement terminals – 3 phase machine voltage – 1 phase network voltage – 1 phase machine current Analog I/O – 2 outputs / 3 inputs (configurable) – +10 V / -10 V references output Digital I/O – 4 inputs only (configurable) – 8 inputs / outputs (configurable) – 24 V output (600 mA) for external relay Serial fieldbus – RS485 for Modbus RTU or VDC communication – CAN for dual channel communication

The UNITROL 1000’s software has all the functions necessary for modern excitation systems. ABB offers three software-function packages out of the shelf. LIGHT The LIGHT version covers essential functionality for cost sensitive applications where limited software functionality is required. – Regulator control modes: Bumpless transfer between all modes – Automatic voltage regulator (AVR) – Field current regulator (FCR) – Power factor regulator (PF) – Reactive power regulator (VAR) – Limiters: Keeping synchronous machines in a safe and stable operation area – Excitation current limiter (min. / max.) – PQ minimum limiter – Machine current limiter – V / Hz limiter – Machine voltage limiter – Soft start – Voltage matching BASIC The BASIC version covers all functionality of LIGHT in addition to the following: – Modbus TCP – Rotating diode monitoring – Analog input to PID summing point for super imposed regulator. – VDC mode: Reactive load sharing for up to 31 machines in island operation. – Dual channel / monitoring: Enables the dual channel operation based on self diagnostics and setpoint follow up over CAN communication. FULL The FULL version covers all functionality of BASIC in addition to the following: – Synchronization: Fast and reliable built-in synchronizer. – Event logger: Up to 500 events are stored in a non-volatile memory. – Data logger: A data log of 12 signals is saved automatically in the non-volatile memory. – Real-time clock: For accurate time stamped events and data logs. Power system stabilizer (PSS) The FULL software version can be complemented with the power system stabilizer function. Compliant with the standard IEEE 421.5-2005 2A / 2B, the PSS improves the stability of the generator over the highest possible operation range.

Commissioning and maintenance tool CMT1000 CMT1000 is a commissioning and maintenance tool for the UNITROL 1000 product family.
