Sices GC400 Main provides the ability to control multiple sources in parallel with the function of reversing the generator for two sources running in parallel. The GC 400 is particularly suitable for use with MPM and MSB standby generators.

Synchronous controller GC400
Description of Sices GC400 synchronous controller
- TTTT Global is currently a genuine Sices automatic generator controller representative.
- Sices GC400 is a comprehensive controller particularly suggested for managing different types of synchro/parallel applications, especially for MPM (Multiple Prime Mover) and MSB (Multiple Stand-by) power plants, where the synchronization of several gensets is required.
- GC400 design allows an easy and fast installation, thanks to the internal load sharing and synchronizer.
- GC400Mains version, is the perfect controller for those plants where the reverse synchronization is required to avoid any drop voltage on load.
- In both cases, all the necessary protections and features are included.
- No extra dongles are required.
- All the Sices GC400 TTTT (Sices GC400 Mains 5G) versions have a direct interface via CAN J1939 with a wide range of electronic engines (Volvo Penta, Scania, Perkins, MTU, Deutz, Cummins, John Deere, Caterpillar and others) and they can be also used with traditional engines by the embedded analogue sensors.
- This controller can be combined with all Sices controllers, as GC600, DST4602Evolution.
- All the parameters can be set directly by the controller’s keyboard or, alternatively using the free software tool (BoardPRG3), available from SICES’ website.
- The graphic display is a user-friendly interface, useful for a quick visualization of measures and alarms coming from the genset.
- Events and DTC logs can be accessed from the front panel and read on the display.
- GC400 supports several communication interfaces for the local or remote control.
- A version with built in GPRS/GPS tracking (GC400 Mains 5G) is particularly suited for mobile or rental applications, where asset tracking and monitoring is required.
- On the TTTT Global site, there are not only Sices GC 400 pdf but also Sices GC 400 manual.
GC400 Synchronous Controller – TTTT Global
Main features
- True RMS readings on generator voltages and currents. Neutral measure included.
- Additional current measurement for neutral or ground fault protection.
- Active, reactive and apparent power measurements.
- Engine speed measurement by pick-up, frequency or W.
- Graphic display with self or manual adjustable contrast based on the temperature.
- Insulated and auto-supplied J1939 and MTU MDEC CAN interface.
- Interface with traditional MPU engines.
- USB, RS232 and insulated RS485 serial port with MODBUS RTU protocol, ethernet interface with MODBUS TCP protocol.
- Real time clock with battery.
- Events and data recording.
- SIMONE and SicesSupervisor monitoring system for remote control (App iOS and Android available).
Load management
- In case of several gensets connected on the same bus, it is possible to set different automatic starting/stopping logics for the gensets based on the load request. In details:
- Manual setting of the master genset by means of a selector switch on the control panel.
- Automatic rotation of the Master genset at a fixed time of the day.
- Automatic rotation of the Master genset after an elapsed time.
- Manual priority assignment to each single genset.
- Automatic running hours equalization.
- Automatic selection of the best combination of gensets (depending on rated powers), for supplying the load. (function available for up to 5 gensets).
Load sharing
- The Load sharing is performed by means of CAN interface.
- GC400 controls speed and voltage, in order to have the same power percentages among the gensets.
Power modulation
- GC400 operates on the speed governor to control the active power.
- For electronic engines a CAN interface is available for speed regulation, for traditional engines is however available a dedicated analogue interface.
Reactive power regulation
- GC400 operates on the AVR directly in order to manage the reactive power.
