PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The Woodward 8440-1884 easYgen Controller provides generator set control and package protection. The unit supports up to 16 gensets in island operation. It also manages a genset operating in parallel with utility mains. Multiple connectivity options allow integration into established plant automation networks. It operates on a nominal 12/24VDC supply.
Operators configure control modes through discrete inputs including Auto, Stop, Manual, and test selections. Breaker management includes slip frequency synchronization and open-close supervision. Load transfer capabilities include open or closed transition and soft loading. Engine warm-up can follow elapsed run time or coolant temperature measurements. The unit features an interactive graphical display.
