Woodward easYgen-3100XT/3200XT Genset Control for Multiple Unit Operation DESCRIPTION

DESCRIPTION

Woodward raised the standard in genset paralleling control and power management system with the easYgen

3000XT Series controllers. These controllers come with standardized software that is simple to configure, yet

easily customized for individual applications. Enhanced connectivity enables fast and secure interfacing to other

controls and communications systems while the enhanced hardware is a drop-in replacement for previous gen

eration easYgen-3000 Series Controls.

The easYgen-3000XT Series controllers operate gen-sets of all sizes and applications. These controllers in

clude specifically designed algorithms and logic to start, stop, control, and protect the genset, circuit breaker

and the utility, where applicable. It allows standardizing on a single, affordable genset controller for distributed

power generation applications. The applications range from single stand-alone emergency backup power to

parallel load sharing of multiple gen-sets in complex, segmented distribution systems with multiple utility feeds

and tie breakers. Woodward's easYgen-3000XT Series paralleling genset controllers provide exceptional versa

tility and value for OEM switchgear builders, generator packagers, and system integrators.

The easYgen-3200XT application range spans from isolated operation of a single genset to load sharing of up

to 32 gen-sets in islanded and/or parallel operation with a single utility. It combines complete engine-generator

control and protection with advanced, peer-to-peer paralleling functionality and innovative features in a robust,

attractive, user-friendly and all-in-one package. Its integrated LogicsManager™ and AnalogManager™ pro

grammable logic functionalities provide outstanding application flexibility and can often eliminate the need of an

additional PLC control, yet can easily integrate with SCADA or PLC-based control systems where desired.

The easYgen-3200XT also comes without a display in a rugged metal housing suitable for back panel installa

tions. A sophisticated touch screen remote panel (RP-3000XT) complements it as an operator control panel. A

version of easYgen-3200XT (easYgen-3200XT-P1-LT) is designed to operate down to -400 C for outdoor appli

cations.

Easy-to-use software tools simplify configuring the easYgen-3000XT Series controllers while making it easy to

customize the unit for specific applications.  These tools include:

FlexAppTM– This feature provides the tools to easily configure the number of operated breakers: None, Gener

ator Circuit Breaker (GCB), and Mains Circuit Breaker (MCB).

LogicsManagerTM & AnalogManagerTM (LM & AM) – Woodward's LM/AM enables to customize the operation

sequences and adapt them to specific needs. The LM/AM accomplishes this by handling a range of measuring

values and internal states, which are combined logically with operators and programmable timers and can be

cascaded through. This enables to create and/or modify control and relay functions.

FlexInTM– The analog inputs are configurable to operate with variable resistance sensors (0 to 2000 Ω), (0 to

1V) and/or 0 to 20 mA senders.

Flexible Outputs – Speed and voltage bias outputs are configurable to function with all speed governors and

voltage regulators. The outputs can also be used as freely scalable outputs (e.g. for driving external meters).

FlexCANTM– Advanced network interfaces ensure unsurpassed control performance – from engine control up

to total plant operation. The easYgen-3000XT Series is capable of working with common industrial interfaces,

including Ethernet, CAN, USB, and RS-485. The multiple communication protocols permit the easYgen-3000XT

Series controls to communicate with a vast majority of engine control units (ECUs), external I/O boards, and

PLCs. Modbus TCP, CANopen, SAE J1939. and Modbus RTU are supported.

DynamicsLCDTM– The adaptive and interactive 5.7", 320x240 pixel sharp color graphical LCD display with soft

keys and a clear menu structure ensures intuitive user operation and navigation. Customizable screens provide

flexibility to program and visualize frequently used data at the press of a button. The face plate with tactile and
