OVERVIEW
RPU560A Redundant Protection Unit is a redundant protection unit that can autonomously maintain the engine running and protect it in the case of master control fault. The module is connected to HMC9000/HMC6000 via CONBUS port. All parameters and alarm types can be checked on the master controller. It can be widely used in marine emergency units, main propulsion units, main generator units and pumping units.
PERFORMANCE AND CHARACTERISTICS
- Speed sensor enables accurate control and protection of the running engine;
- Optional working mode; one is synchronized with master controller to protect engine normal running; the other is protect engine automatically when master controller failure occurs.
- 4 digital shutdown inputs;
- 5 relay outputs: shutdown output, fuel output, common warning output, common shutdown output, auxiliary output;
- Emergency shutdown input port: after emergency shutdown is initiated, regardless of whether main controller failure occurred or not, shutdown signal will still be sent;
- Remote mode, in which only overspeed shutdown and emergency shutdown signals will be able to stop the unit;
- Modular design, compactness structure, small size, easy use.

OPERATION
MAIN PROTECTED MOD
In this mode, RPU560A redundant protection unit will detect engine parameters
and shutdown inputs automatically to protect the engine in real time whether
the main module is active or not.
If overspeed shutdown or other shutdown alarm input is occurred, the stop
relay is energized while the fuel relay is disengaged, then the common
shutdown relay is engaged. When the engine is stop successfully, users can
reset the alarm by pressing reset button mounted on the HMC9000/HMC6000 panel
or by pressing the reset button contained within the RPU560A module.
STANDBY PROTECTED MODE
- When main control is active (CANBUS communication is normal), if the engine speed has exceeded the fuel output speed, the fuel relay is energized. Only the active shutdown input and overspeed signal will be able to stop the generator.
- When main control is deactivated (CANBUS communication is failed), if overspeed shutdown or other shutdown signal is detected, the stop relay is energized while the fuel relay is disengaged, then the common shutdown relay is engaged. When the engine is stop successfully, users can reset the alarm by pressing reset button.
- In override mode, if main control is deactivated, only overspeed shutdown and emergency shutdown signals will be able to stop the unit.

below the pre-set threshold and last for 20s. Then lamp BAT.1, BAT.2 will
blink and the common warn relay outputs at the same time.
2| Bat 2 over volt
3| Bat 1 under volt
4| Bat 2 under volt

SHUTDOWN ALARM
**** If shutdown alarm signal is detected, shutdown relay and common shutdown relay activates while fuel relay deactivates.
Table 5 – Shutdown Alarms
No. | Alarm Type | Detection range | Description |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Emergency shutdown | Always active | After alarm shutdown signal is |
initiated, shutdown relay and common shutdown relay are activated while fuel
relay deactivates. When failure shutdown is active, the corresponding lamp
will be always initiated.
2| Input 1 shutdown| Always active| When failure shutdown input is active and
engine speed has exceeded or been equal with pre-set value, shutdown relay and
common shutdown relay are activated while fuel relay deactivates. When failure
shutdown is active, the corresponding lamp will be always initiated, and the
controller possesses with break wire detection function (it can be defined by
users).
