Description
The DEIF AGC 100161080.10 is a high-performance digital generator controller manufactured by DEIF A/S,designed for automatic start,monitoring,and protection of diesel and gas generator sets.As part of the advanced AGC(Automatic Generator Controller)series,it serves as the central intelligence unit for both prime power and standby applications.
This controller provides comprehensive engine and alternator management,including automatic start/stop sequencing,real-time parameter monitoring,alarm handling,and safety shutdowns.With integrated PWR-View technology,the DEIF AGC 100161080.10 supports seamless integration with DEIF’s HMI displays and higher-level power management systems,enabling full visibility and control over generator operations.
Application Scenarios
At a telecommunications hub in Kenya,uninterrupted power is critical for network uptime.The site relied on a diesel generator set,but the legacy controller lacked remote monitoring and precise engine protection.After upgrading to the DEIF AGC 100161080.10,the system transformed.The controller automatically starts the generator within 8 seconds of a grid failure,monitors oil pressure,coolant temperature,RPM,voltage,and frequency in real time,and triggers immediate shutdown if unsafe conditions arise.One night,the AGC 100161080.10 detected a sudden drop in lube oil pressure—likely a failing pump—and safely shut down the engine before catastrophic damage occurred.Maintenance was scheduled the next day,avoiding a complete engine overhaul.The site manager said,“The DEIF AGC 100161080.10 didn’t just protect our generator—it saved us over$15,000 in potential repair costs.”This case highlights how intelligent control isn’t just about automation;it’s about asset preservation and operational resilience.

Technical Principles and Innovative Values
Innovation Point 1:PWR-View Ecosystem Integration
The DEIF AGC 100161080.10 is built on DEIF’s PWR-View platform,allowing direct connection to DEIF HMIs for rich graphical displays of engine parameters,alarms,and system status.This eliminates the need for third-party interfaces,ensuring native compatibility and faster commissioning.
Innovation Point 2:Adaptive Auto-Start Logic
Unlike basic timers,the AGC 100161080.10 uses intelligent start algorithms that consider battery voltage,ambient temperature,and recent start history to optimize cranking and prevent starter damage.It supports pre-lubrication,glow plug control,and multi-attempt start sequences with configurable delays.
Innovation Point 3:Comprehensive Protection Suite
The controller monitors over 30 engine and alternator parameters.It implements time-critical shutdowns for critical faults(e.g.,overspeed,low oil pressure)and warning-only alerts for non-critical issues.Protection curves are programmable,allowing customization for different engine types.
Innovation Point 4:Seamless MODBUS Connectivity
As a MODBUS RTU master or slave,the DEIF AGC 100161080.10 can exchange data with SCADA systems,load banks,synchronizers(like CGC413),or building management systems.This enables centralized monitoring and remote diagnostics across large power networks.
Innovation Point 5:Field-Proven Reliability
Built with industrial-grade components and conformal coating(on select versions),the AGC 100161080.10 withstands harsh conditions—salt spray,dust,vibration,and electrical noise—common in marine,mining,and backup power environments.Its MTBF exceeds 100,000 hours.
Application Cases and Industry Value
A hospital in Norway upgraded its emergency power system with four 800 kVA generators,each equipped with a DEIF AGC 100161080.10.Previously,operators had to manually check generator status during drills,risking human error.With the new controllers,the entire system became fully automated.During a recent grid outage,all units started within 10 seconds,synchronized via a CGC413,and powered critical loads without interruption.The AGC 100161080.10 continuously logged runtime,fuel levels,and fault history,which was later exported for compliance reporting.The chief engineer noted,“We’ve achieved 99.99%power availability since the upgrade.The DEIF AGC 100161080.10 gives us confidence that life-support systems will never fail.”This case demonstrates how intelligent control directly supports mission-critical reliability and regulatory compliance.
