Synchronisation & Load Sharer

Overview

The easYgen-3100XT Series controllers operate gensets of all sizes and applications. These controllers include specifically designed algorithms and logic to start, stop, control, and protect the genset, circuit breaker, and the utility where applicable. This technology allows standardizing on a single, affordable genset controller for distributed power generation applications. These applications can range from single stand-alone emergency backup power to parallel load sharing of multiple gensets in complex, segmented distribution systems with multiple utility feeds and tie breakers.

The easYgen-3100XT Series paralleling genset controllers provide exceptional versatility and value for OEM switchgear builders, generator packagers, and system integrators.

Highlights

• High Flexibility and Reduced Efforts for variants at different applications. One devise fits most applications
• Saves Cost of additional PLC as logical/analog operations can be handled by the control’s LogicsManagerTM / AnalogManagerTM
• High Robustness against external disturbances ensured by galvanic isolation of the measuring inputs, relay contacts, biasing outputs, and communication interfaces
• Simplified Configuration and Commissioning through Ethernet and USB connectivity, on-board documentation and system update function
• Drop-In Replacement extends system longevity
• Full Mains, Generator, and Engine Protection minimizes additional protection relays in low voltage applications
• 14 Built-In Languages enable your genset to speak your local language at the touch of a button

Features

• Three-phase true RMS power sensing with Class I accuracy
• Operation modes: AUTO, STOP, MANUAL, and TEST modes accessible through face plate or discrete input
• Breaker control: Slip frequency/phase matching synchronization, open/close control, breaker monitoring
• Load transfer: open/closed transition, interchange, soft loading/unloading, Utility parallel
• Load share and device to device communication over Ethernet or CAN (“warm redundancy” possible)
• Remote control via interface (Modbus TCP, Modbus RTU) and via discrete/analog inputs for adjusting speed, frequency, voltage, power, reactive power, and power factor set points
• Freely configurable PID controllers for various control purposes, such as heating circuit control (CHP applications), water level, fuel level, pressure and/or other process values
• Field ECU support and additional I/O expansion board connectivity through sequencer files
• “System Update” function for online troubleshooting and adding / removing generator sets
• Time/Date synchronization over Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP)
• Cylinder head/exhaust temperature monitoring (Temperatures come from J1939 or CANopen devices)
• Woodward ToolKit™ software for flexible setup from a single connection to the network. The ToolKit can be accessed either via USB, or via Ethernet, or via CAN port.
• Multi-lingual capability: English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, Russian, Turkish, Polish, Slovakian, Finnish, Swedish
