Product Overview

The Woodward 8440-2084 (easYgen-3400XT-P1) is a high-density power management processor for complex generator paralleling. With a rugged sheet metal frame designed for back-panel mounting, this unit coordinates up to 32 generators and integrates with 16 LS-5 circuit breaker controls, ensuring efficient load distribution and grid synchronization in large-scale power plants.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

• Optimized Cabinet Space: The lack of a front-facing screen allows installation deep within control cabinets, protecting logic from physical damage while freeing up space for other devices.

• Large-Scale Scalability: Manages up to 32 generators in a high-speed network, ensuring synchronized operation and preventing frequency fluctuations during load changes.

• Versatile Logic Interfacing: Features specialized terminals for speed sensing (MPU) and alternator excitation (D+), ensuring full control over both mechanical and electrical aspects of the generators.

• Remote Configuration Security: Without physical softkeys, unauthorized tampering is prevented. Configuration is done remotely via Ethernet or USB by qualified technicians only.

FAQs

How do I monitor alarms without a screen?

• Alarms are monitored via a remote HMI panel (e.g., RP-3000XT) or SCADA system connected via Ethernet.

Is it compatible with third-party circuit breakers?

• Yes, the 8440-2084 works with third-party motorized breakers using Modbus or discrete outputs, though it integrates natively with Woodward LS-5 for advanced features.

Can this unit operate in "Slave" mode?

• Yes, it supports both Master and Slave modes, allowing for centralized busbar management or individual load-sharing commands.

What software is required for commissioning?

• Woodward ToolKit software is needed for I/O mapping, PID loop setting, and LogicsManager configuration via USB or Ethernet.
