WOODWARD 8440-2085: Genset Controller (easYgen-3500XT-P1)

 

A key feature of the easYgen-3500XT-P1 is that it’s designed for front-panel mounting and includes an integrated graphical display. This makes it a great choice for applications where on-site monitoring, control, and configuration are needed without relying on an external PC. The “P1” designation indicates a standard paralleling application model with a specific I/O and communication feature set, distinguishing it from other variants in the easYgen-3000XT family.

Detailed Product Description

 

The Woodward 8440-2085 (easYgen-3500XT-P1) is a cornerstone of modern, large-scale power generation systems. Its design and features are focused on providing a powerful, flexible, and user-friendly control solution for complex paralleling applications.

  • Integrated HMI and User Interface: The built-in graphical LCD and intuitive soft keys allow for easy on-site configuration, monitoring, and control without needing an external computer. This is perfect for applications where an operator needs to interact directly with the controller in the field. The multi-level password protection ensures only authorized personnel can make changes.
  • 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 and communicate with up to 16 LS-5 circuit breaker controls 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 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.
