ComAp InteliGen 200

Generator paralleling controller

InteliGen 200 supports multiple generators in an island system or one generator in parallel with the mains. Its CAN link coordinates load and reactive-power sharing, while its separate RS-485 interface serves Modbus monitoring. Keeping these networks distinct preserves the existing generator-control arrangement.

Compatibility

Documented Modbus RTU and TCP interface

Integrated isolated RS-485; optional CM-Ethernet module for Ethernet monitoring

ComAp marks InteliGen 200 discontinued and names InteliGen 4 200 as its successor. CAN load sharing between up to 32 generators is different from the number of devices that a Modbus monitoring client polls.

Setup

  1. In InteliConfig, identify Multiple Island or Single Parallel to Mains, save the application and export the configurable Modbus table.

    Start with one controller on the monitoring segment before adding the rest of the plant.

  2. Record CT ratios and the physical measurement location.

    Compare the first electrical values with the controller display before using them in totals or trends.

  3. Keep missing responses distinct from a stopped generator.

    Store communication availability beside running state so a disconnected cable does not look like healthy standby.

  4. Build a read-only point list for monitoring.

    Remote start, synchronisation and breaker operation require a separate control design with the existing panel interlocks and feedback.
