1. Introduction
The GCU (Genset Control Unit) configuration software is used to define and create a configuration for a TELYS control unit. It is used to
access the TELYS and to modify its parameters.
A blue dongle (or ‘Sentinel’ key) must be used to set parameters or create a configuration.
The blue dongle, which is designed for the After-Sales service and agents, has a one year term of validity.
The licence can be renewed using a computer file (enabling it to be sent by mail).
Each dongle is registered and protected against modifications to the operating system date and time.
The GCU configuration software and dongle can only be used after having completed appropriate training.

The “Factory settings” tab is used to access the factory function codes:
The suffix for the factory settings begins with 3XX. The designation of the function code for the factory settings is U followed by the
parameter designation (e.g.: UTYM: function code: Factory, Type of Engine).
All of the factory function codes are described in the “FACTORY SETTINGS” appendix.
@ Min: minimum parameter limit. If there is no minimum value, the possible values will be displayed in a dropdown menu in the
“values” column. If the value entered is outside the limits, an exclamation mark will appear in the box concerned.
33502023801_2_1
28/74
Example: If the minimum number of pairs of pole 1 is entered as 0, it is outside the limits. The minimum terminal is therefore saved as 1
and signalled with an exclamation mark.
The suffix for the system thresholds begins with 2XX. The designation of the function code for the system thresholds is S followed by
the parameter designation (e.g.: SNTD1: Starter 1 Attempt Number Threshold).
33502023801_2_1
29/74
All of the function codes for the system thresholds are described in the “SYSTEM THRESHOLDS” appendix.
@ Min: minimum parameter value. If this box is empty, the possible values will be displayed in a dropdown menu in the “values”
column. If the value entered is outside the limits, an exclamation mark will appear in the box concerned.
@ Max: identical to min. Example: If the maximum number of attempts is limited to 6 and the number 7 is entered (outside limits), the
number 6 is saved and is indicated by an exclamation mark.
@ Active: the system threshold is active if the box is ticked. The tick cannot be removed from a greyed out box. An active threshold is
written in normal blue writing whereas a deactivated threshold is written in grey italic.

The GCU and Input/Output modules tabs (if present in the configuration) contain the inputs and outputs to be used for the logic
equations, delays, index and remote control circuit breaker.
33502023801_2_1
37/74
The variables for programming the logic equations, delays, index (counter) and remote control circuit breaker are only available
in the “Available Inputs” and “Available Outputs” tabs
The variables for programming the comparison equations are only available in the “Analogue Variables” tab. It is advised that the
programming variables are written in upper case to differentiate them from other variables, so that they can be found easily.
The “Analogue Variables” tab enables logic equations, comparison equations, delays, counters and remote control circuit breakers to
be programmed.
In the “Programmable Components” tab, select the variable to be configured and double-click it. The programming window will open.
Drag the variables into the “Variable” boxes to create the equations.
Double click
You can display all of the I/O programming in the “GCU“ tab, Input/Output modules tabs (if present); the logic/comparison equations,
delays, indices and remote control circuit breakers are displayed in the right-hand side of the window.
33502023801_2_1
38/74
Reminder about the logic equations.
- Operators:
And
Or Xor
- Brackets:
The brackets are selected by clicking in the box before or after the variable. A single click opens a bracket, a second click in the same
box opens a second bracket and so on until 4 brackets have been opened. A fifth click clears the brackets.
- Configuring an equation:
To configure an equation, take the variables in the “Available Inputs” and “Available Outputs” tabs. Click on the component and drag
it to its position in the equation.
Warning! If a variable already exists, it will be replaced by the new saved variable.
To clear a variable, click in the box of the variable. To clear the comparison, click on “Clear”.
33502023801_2_1
39/74
- Writing contact equations/logic:
Example of equations:
Note: on the basic board, an input variable takes the name of the input (e.g.: ELH02) whereas an output variable takes the output
function code (e.g.: CST_CFS).
Notes: on an I/O module, an input or output variable takes the input or output name (e.g.: M1E1 for an input and M1S2 for an output).
- Take care when writing the equation and positioning the brackets! (An “OR” sends the following variable to the next line whereas an
“AND” positions it after the previous).
The box in the “Conf.” column can only be activated by the software.
33502023801_2_1
40/74
Comparison Equations.
- Configuring a comparison:
To configure a comparison, simply take a variable in the “Analogue Variables” tab. Click on the component and drag it to its position in
the equation.
To clear a variable, right-click it. To clear an equation, click on “Clear”.
Warning! If a variable already exists, it will be replaced by the new saved variable.
The delay time (optional) is intended to delay the equation result.
The programmable thresholds can be configured before or after configuring the comparison (however, it is easier to find a threshold
configured with a title than the opposite).
33502023801_2_1
41/74
Example of a comparison equation:
Measurement
Programmable threshold
When the programmable threshold is less than or equal to the HT coolant temperature measurement, the comparison equation output
is activated.
Note:
- There is less of an error risk when the threshold is programmed before configuring the comparison and the title has been entered.
- The variables take the function code name (e.g.: ITEH-ANA, SPRGO-ANA)
To clear a variable, click in the box of the variable. To clear the comparison, click on “Clear”.
- The time delay enables a stable state to be validated.
- It is impossible to configure a logic variable. The comparison result can be used in a logic equation.
- Contrary to the logic equation, it is not possible to configure the inverse variable.

output address, GCU output variable = output function code, etc.).
33502023801_2_1
43/74
Index
A counter is composed of 2 variables (a command variable and a reset variable) and an activation threshold. This threshold
increases incrementally at each rising edge of a command variable signal.
To configure a counter, take the variables in the “Available Inputs” and “Available Outputs” tabs. Click on the component and drag it to
its position in the equation (it is impossible to position a variable at a defined location).
To clear a variable, click in the box of the variable. To clear the comparison, click on “Clear”.
Warning! If a variable already exists, it will be replaced by the new saved variable.
The threshold window indicates the value at which the counter will be activated.
Example of counter:
- A counter has the same programming specifications as a logic equation (GCU input variable and input/output for a module = input or
output address, GCU output variable = output function code, etc.).
- Counter operation:
The box in the “Conf.” column can only be activated by the software.
33502023801_2_1
44/74
