Woodward recently introduced the easYgen-3200XT 8440-2082 parallel generator set controller, providing outstanding versatility and value to OEM switchgear manufacturers, generator packers and system integrators. This controller combines complete engine-generator control and protection with advanced point-to-point parallel functionality and innovative features in a rugged, attractive and user-friendly package.

The integrated LogicsManager™ programmable logic capabilities of the easYgen-3200XT controller provide excellent application flexibility, often eliminating the need for additional PLC control, while also easily integrating with SCADA or PLC-based control systems. It supports a wide range of distributed generation applications, from independent emergency backup power to parallel load sharing of up to 32 generator sets in complex, segmented distribution systems.

The controller is used in a wide range of applications, including emergency backup power, distributed generation, island main power, microgrids, utility parallel, cogeneration, and switchgear upgrades. It features true RMS voltage and current detection, CAN network communication/control, serial Modbus RTU communication, configuration via PC/ laptop, and full notification, control, and configuration via the RP-3200XT remote panel.

In addition, the easYgen-3200XT 8440-2082 also has a variety of certifications, including CE, UL/cUL, CSA, BDEW, ABS and Lloyd’s Register, to ensure compliance in different application scenarios.

Concluding remarks:

The introduction of the easYgen-3200XT 8440-2082 further strengthens Woodward’s leadership position in the field of distributed generation control. This controller is expected to play an important role in improving the efficiency of the power generation system, optimizing load distribution, reducing energy consumption and reducing failure rates.
