Jenbacher provides a fully integrated engine and generator DIA.NE® XT control system for each engine-generator set. A user-friendly management system provides for operator interface via a membrane touch pad with a graphic display providing a clear overview of system operation and pre-set parameters. Detailed diagnostics and troubleshooting are expedited through monitoring and reporting of operating parameters, alarms, and trends. A series of systems, such as knock monitoring, misfire detection, and LEANOX® controls, provide for trouble-free operation. Generator synchronization and paralleling capabilities are integrated into the DIA.NE XT system. The controls provide for an open and closed loop system for control of Jenbacher gas engine systems and their associated plant auxiliary systems. Links to customer systems are available using standard industry protocols.

The optional DIA.NE WIN system extends full remote operation of Jenbacher power systems in a Windows environment via dedicated HTTP address, LAN, or dial-up connections. Control, monitoring, diagnostics, and troubleshooting are accomplished remotely enabling improved availability and reduced O&M costs. Multiple sites can be operated simultaneously and independently with process, alarm management, and trend display screens available at all times.

Jenbacher control systems also provide for remote messaging of pre-alarms, alarms, and shutdowns. Messages can be sent via e-mail, SMS, or fax to plant operators or maintenance technicians to expedite continued availability.

Jenbacher’s MONIC system enables automatic monitoring and analysis of spark plug voltage in every cylinder of a gas engine. Data is collected, integrated into the DIA.NE control system, and sparking voltages displayed to indicate spark plug condition. Irregular values are automatically communicated for ease of customer maintenance. The MONIC system improves maintenance, reduces maintenance costs, and enhances reliability and availability.
