Product Overview
The Woodward 8440-2050 is an advanced easYgen-3000 genset controller designed for managing up to 32 connected generators using automatic sequencing. Moreover, it supports peak shaving, cogeneration, and automatic mains failure (AMF) applications. The integrated HMI features a color LCD and soft keys, providing operators with easy and intuitive system control. In addition, configuration is possible either via the onboard interface or a PC using ToolKit software.
Functional Highlights
- Integrated HMI: Enables direct control with a color LCD and intuitive soft keys.
- Flexible I/O: Supports up to 12 discrete outputs, 16 external I/Os via CANopen, 3 analog inputs, and 2 analog outputs.
- Protection Features: Monitors overspeed, underspeed, frequency mismatch, auxiliary excitation failure, and unbalanced load conditions.
- Frequency Measurement: Operates across 50/60 Hz with a 40–85 Hz measurement range.
- Automatic Sequencing: Manages up to 32 gensets for optimized power generation efficiency.
Furthermore, the controller ensures continuous system reliability under demanding industrial conditions.
