Product Overview

The Woodward 8440-2082 is a key component of the easYgen-3000XT series, specifically the easYgen-3200XT-P1 variant. This highly versatile genset controller is designed for both stand-by and parallel generator operations, supporting up to 32 units in a complex load-sharing setup. It serves as the primary control unit for distributed energy resources, providing precise synchronization, engine-generator protection, and logic control for modern power plants.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

• Sophisticated Load Sharing Logic: The 8440-2082 efficiently manages proportional load sharing and base loading for generators of varying sizes. This ensures optimal fuel efficiency and prevents overloading any single generator.

• Seamless Grid Synchronization: Using frequency, phase, and voltage matching algorithms, the controller enables "bumpless" transfers to and from the utility grid, safeguarding sensitive loads from voltage spikes or frequency dips during breaker closures.

• Advanced Cyber Security: The XT series incorporates robust security protocols that protect control parameters from unauthorized network access. This makes the 8440-2082 highly suitable for critical infrastructure and data center applications.

• Highly Configurable Logic (LogicsManager): The LogicsManager tool enables engineers to create custom boolean sequences without needing external PLCs. This functionality allows for automation of auxiliary systems such as fuel pumps and ventilation fans, based on specific engine states.

• Universal Communication Interfacing: With integrated Ethernet and Modbus support, the controller can be directly integrated into plant-wide SCADA systems, enabling remote start/stop commands and real-time telemetry from a centralized control room.

FAQs

Is this Woodward 8440-2082 controller a brand new unit?

Yes, we supply 100% brand new and original Woodward 8440-2082 controllers in their factory-sealed packaging, ensuring full operational integrity and manufacturer warranty.

What is the difference between the 3200XT and older easYgen models?

The 3200XT (8440-2082) offers faster processing speeds, expanded memory for fault logging, and enhanced communication options like Ethernet-based load sharing compared to the older 3200 series.

Can this controller manage both diesel and gas engines?

Yes, the 8440-2082 features configurable engine control logic that is compatible with diesel, gas, and dual-fuel reciprocating engines. It provides dedicated ignition and fuel-rack control interfaces for these engine types.

Does the unit support remote monitoring via a mobile device?

Yes, the integrated Ethernet port supports web-server functionality and Modbus TCP/IP, allowing remote access via authorized network gateways or HMI software on tablets and computers.
