Display and Status Indicators

General Notes

HMI and the configuration software enable access to control, settings, and visualization.

The front panel offers a number of functionally defined buttons and a set of menu

management buttons. LEDs visualize fixed states, the graphic display works together with

the menu management buttons to show all necessary information.

Features and Functions of both easYgen-600 and -1600

Both easYgen-600 and easYgen-1600 are very close in hardware and software. The

easYgen-1600 is the device with more/higher functionality. For comparison and better

differentiation both are described below.

easYgen-600 is intended to be used for single automation systems, auto start/stop of

the unit are performed with the help of remote signal.

easYgen-1600 has all functions of easYgen-600 as well as automatic mains failure

function (AMF), particularly well suited for single automation systems that include mains

and generator.

System Overview

General notes

The easYgen is a stand-alone genset controller with measuring, monitoring, and breaker

control functionality. It comes with an easily mountable plastic housing covering a

thoroughly tested electronic-electrical system.

Display and buttons of the HMI offer access to states and values, as well as access to the

application. Password protection enables the assignment of multiple operation access

levels. Remote access, monitoring, visualization, and configuration are possible via

integrated interfaces. Communication between easYgens using PLC control or as a

network member offers an enhanced system management range; additionally supported

by easy to implement accessories.

The easYgen-600 are control units for engine-generator management applications.

The control units can be used in simple Start/Stop applications.

Scope of delivery

The following parts are included in the covering box. Please check prior to the installation

that all parts are present:

•Device easYgen genset control

•All screwable terminal connectors are delivered with plug and jack

•Clamp fastener installation material (4x)

A typical application mode for the control unit is the use for non parallel operation in a

single genset application.

• In this case, the easYgen will function as an engine control with generator and

engine protection.

• The control unit can open and close the circuit breaker .

Intended Use of This Control

easYgen-800 genset controllers are used for

• genset automation and monitor control system of single unit to achieve

• automatic start/stop,

• data measurement,

• alarm protection and

• three remote features: control, measuring and communication.

The controller adopts large liquid crystal display (LCD) and selectable Chinese, English or

other languages interface with easy and reliable operation.

This easYgen genset controllers adopt 32 bits micro-processor technology with precision

parameters measuring, fixed value adjustment, time setting and threshold adjusting and

etc. The majority of parameters can be set using front panel and all the parameters can

be set using PC (via USB port) and can be adjusted and monitored with the help of RS-485

port. It can be widely used in a number of automatic genset control system with compact

structure, simple connections and high reliability.

Functions

• Protection: automatic start/stop of the genset, ATS (Auto Transfer Switch) control

with failure indication and protection function

• All output ports are relay-out

• Parameter settings: parameters can be modified and stored in internal FLASH

memory and cannot be lost even in case of a power outage; most of them can be

adjusted using front panel of the controller and all of them can be modified using

ToolKit-SC on a PC via USB or RS485 ports.

• Temperature, oil pressure and fuel level curves can be used directly and users can

define the sensor curves by themselves.

• Multiple crank disconnect conditions (generator frequency, speed sensor, oil

pressure) are optional.

• Event log, real-time clock, scheduled start & stop generator (can be set as start

genset once a day/week/month with or without load).

• Start-up logo and display time are user-defined.

• Can be used on pumping units and as an indicating instrument (indicate and alarm

are enable only, relay is inhibited).

• Maintenance function: Actions (warning or shutdown) can be set when maintenance

time out.

• Instead of conventional analog modulation with a potentiometer, all parameters use

digital adjustment for more reliability and stability.

• Accumulative total run time and total electric energy of A and B. The user can reset

it to 0 and re-accumulate the value, which allows to count the total value.

• Protection: automatic start/stop of the genset, ATS (Auto Transfer Switch) control

with perfect failure indication and protection function

• All output ports are relay-out

• Parameter setting: parameters can be modified and stored in internal FLASH

memory and cannot be lost even in case of power outage; most of them can be

adjusted using front panel of the controller and all of them can be modified using

ToolKit-SC configuration software on PC via USB, Ethernet, or RS485 ports

• More kinds of curves of temperature, oil pressure, fuel level can be used directly and

users can define the sensor curves by themselves

• Multiple crank disconnect conditions (generator frequency, speed sensor, oil

pressure) are optional

• Widely power supply range DC (8 to 35) V, suitable to different start battery voltage

environment

• Event log, real-time clock, scheduled start & stop generator (can be set as start

genset once a day/week/month whether with load or not)

• Logon wallpaper and display time are user-defined

• Can be used on pumping units and as an indicating instrument (indicate and alarm

are enable only, relay is inhibited)

• With maintenance function. Actions (warning or shutdown) can be set when

maintenance time out

• All parameters are digital adjusted (instead of conventional analog modulation with

normal potentiometer) for more reliability and stability

• Waterproof security level IP55 due to rubber seal installed between the controller

enclosure and front panel

• Metal fixing clips enable perfect in high temperature environment

• Modular design, self-extinguishing ABS plastic enclosure, pluggable connection

terminals and embedded installation way; compact structure with easy mounting

• Accumulation of total run time and total electric energy of A and B. Users can reset it

for convenience.
