WOODWARD 8440-2084: Genset Controller (easYgen-3400XT-P1)

 

The easYgen-3400XT-P1 is a sophisticated controller intended for cabinet back-mounting, meaning it doesn’t have an integrated display. This design makes it a robust and secure component within a control panel, relying on external HMIs or Woodward’s ToolKit software for configuration and monitoring. Its capabilities are focused on multi-genset applications and complex system integration.

 

Product Overview

 

  • Product Type: Genset Controller
  • Manufacturer: Woodward
  • Part Number: 8440-2084
  • Series: easYgen-3000XT (specifically, the easYgen-3400XT-P1)
  • Key Specifications:
    • Power Supply: 12/24 VDC (8 to 40 VDC).
    • Housing: Designed for cabinet back-mounting, with a sheet metal frame and no integrated display.
    • Connectivity: Features an enhanced suite of communication ports, including Ethernet, a USB port, two CAN bus ports (CANopen and J1939), and an RS-485 port.

Detailed Product Description

 

The Woodward 8440-2084 (easYgen-3400XT-P1) is a cornerstone of modern, large-scale power generation systems. Its design and features are focused on providing a powerful, flexible, and reliable control solution for complex paralleling applications.

  • Robust, Back-Panel Design: The controller’s design without a display makes it highly durable and secure, reducing the risk of damage in harsh environments. It’s intended to be a central processing unit within a larger control cabinet, with interaction handled through a separate HMI or via a PC.
  • Networked and Scalable: The inclusion of Ethernet and dual CAN ports is a key advantage, allowing it to integrate seamlessly into modern SCADA or DCS systems. Its ability to manage up to 32 gensets makes it highly scalable for large distributed power generation sites.
  • Advanced Power Management: This controller goes beyond simple start/stop functions. It provides intelligent power management features like load-dependent start/stop and import/export control, which are crucial for grid-parallel applications and for optimizing the cost of power generation.
  • Comprehensive Protection: The controller provides a complete suite of protection for all components of the power system, ensuring the safety and longevity of the gensets and the stability of the electrical grid.
  • Flexible Configuration: Using Woodward’s powerful ToolKit software, users can fully customize the logic and parameters of the controller to meet the unique needs of a specific application. This often eliminates the need for an additional PLC, simplifying the control architecture.
