Woodward 8440-2050

The 8440-2050 acts as the central control unit for a generator system. It comes with a built-in Human-Machine Interface (HMI) with a color LCD and soft keys, allowing for direct configuration and monitoring without a separate PC.

Core Functions:

  • Automatic Mains Failure (AMF): It can automatically start and stop a genset in the event of a utility power failure.
  • Peak Shaving and Cogeneration: The controller is equipped for more complex applications like managing energy demand by shaving off peak usage and for cogeneration systems.
  • Parallel Operation: The easYgen-3200-5 can be used in various parallel modes, including mains parallel, island parallel, and multiple-unit parallel, allowing up to 32 connected gensets to be controlled.
  • Comprehensive Protection: It offers extensive protection features for the generator, engine, and mains. This includes monitoring for overspeed/underspeed, voltage and frequency mismatch, and unbalanced loads.

Technical Highlights:

  • Power Supply: Operates on 12/24 VDC (8 to 40 VDC).
  • Inputs/Outputs: It has configurable discrete and analog inputs and outputs, with a maximum of 12 discrete outputs and 3 analog inputs.
  • Data Logging: It logs events and trends, which is useful for troubleshooting and performance analysis.
  • PC Configuration: The unit can be configured via its operator interface or through a PC using Woodward’s ToolKit software.
