Woodward’s LS-5 and LS-6XT breaker controllers deliver accurate synchronization,

integrated mains decoupling, and robust protection features for complex power

management systems. Designed for flexibility, these controllers support diverse applications,

ncluding utility parallel and island operations, with software-configurable options for breaker

control and synchronization. Featuring redundant communication schemes,

intuitive integration with easYgen genset controllers, and rugged housing options,

the LS-5 and LS-6XT ensure reliable and scalable solutions for OEM switchgear builders,

generator packagers, and system integrators.

LS-5 Breaker Controller

Woodward’s LS-5 Series relays are synchronizer controllers with integrated mains de-coupling

and protection features. The applications range from independent synch check relay to

complex power management with multiple utility feeds, bus tie-breakers and group breakers

in combination with Woodward’s easYgen-3400XT/3500XT equipped genset controllers.

Wiring efforts are reduced to a minimum, since only one CAN bus connection is required

between all LS-5 and easYgen controllers to transmit AC measurement signals, I/O states, flags, etc.

The LS-5×1 devices manage synchronization, loading and un-loading on each bus segment

and send the required voltage, frequency and phase angle references via CAN bus to the

easYgen-3400XT/3500XT genset controllers. When serving an incoming mains breaker it

automatically detects mains failure, performs mains decoupling and sends the start signal

to the easYgen. The LS-5×1 is software selectable to be applied as an independent synch

check relay, mains circuit breaker control or bus tie-breaker control thereby providing exceptional

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

The LS-5×1 Series is available in two different mounting styles. An LS-521 with a plastic housing

and graphic LCD display is designed to be mounted on the cabinet’s front door.

An LS-511 with an aluminum powder coated housing without display is designed to be back panel

mounted.

 Engineered for Wood ward Power Manage ment controls to save on field engineering

 Two operation modes:

1. miniSCADA: connect multiple controllers to visualize system level performance

2. remoteHMI: detail connections to single controllers

 Connect one easYview to many controllers in miniSCADA mode or one controller

to many easYview in remoteHMI mode

 Achieve considerable customizations by tunables only

 Full customization using a versatile atvise ® SCADA tool

 Offers on-the-fly  configuration with same  security levels as  the connected control

 Simplifies wiring to  the access door and keeps high voltage  connections remote

 Ethernet communication to the connected control

 Personalization by end user

 CE Marked, UL Listed

APPLICATION OVERVIEW

The easYview comes prepared with two basic application modes: a remoteHMI mode and a miniSCADA

mode.

 In the remoteHMI mode, the easYview connects to one or more devices via VNC connection and

receives

the remote HMI screens of the connected easYgen-XT or LS-6XT devices. Depending upon the easYview

screen size (7’, 10’ or 15’), 1. 2 or 4 different remote HMI screens can be shown simultaneously.

This mode is suitable for detailed connection to a single controller and helps troubleshoot,

commission, parametrize, Alarm/event log etc.

 In the miniSCADA mode, the easYview connects to multiple easYgen-XT or LS-6XT devices via Modbus

TCP connection and offers a plant level visualization. This mode is designed to keep operators informed

during regular operation and maintenance to visualize most frequent / favorite values often from system

perspective without going into details. The miniSCADA mode also has a built-in remoteHMI capability.

Off-the-shelf easYview comes prepared with 3 easYgen-3000XT controllers in island or utility parallel

operation.

Tunables are available for customizations such as, deleting an easYgen, changing color of live bus bar,

changing utility source data etc. However, for any major customization such as adding an easYgen-XT,

LS-6XT or 3rd party device, adjusting single line diagram, etc, an atvise® Builder tool is required.

Features

   Off-the-shelf easYview supports two operation modes,

   miniSCADA – multiple easYgen-XT and/or LS-6XT connects via Modbus TCP connection. Data struc

ture prepared for a total 6 devices (3x easYgen-XT and 3x LS-6XT).

   remoteHMI – VNC connection to single controllers. Depending upon the easYview screen size (7’, 10’

or 15’), 1. 2 or 4 different remote HMI screens can be shown simultaneously

DESCRIPTION

Woodward’s easYview is a family of visualization touch-panels designed for system level visualization. It is

customized to provide users a miniSCADA visualization solution for a fleet of gensets controlled by

Woodward power management controllers. It is particularly useful for switchgear builders, genset

packagers and system integrators as an off-the-shelf HMI option for any application where a secure

remote control, monitoring, and visualization are desired such as hospitals, data centers, offshore rigs,

landfill, rental, and wastewater gas-to power applications to name a few.

easYview is available in three display sizes keeping the digital core constant but expanding the touch

display from small (7”) and medium (10”) to large (15”) screens. Combined with a versatile atvise® SCADA

software tool, it makes an excellent multi-device visualization system as device connections (easYgen-XT

family and LS-6XT to start with) are already made and data structure is already set-up to help minimize

your engineering effort while providing flexibility that is expected from a scalable platform. VNC is

supported across the easYview family for detailed connection to single controllers making it ideal not only

for commissioning and troubleshooting your PowerGen assets but also for operating and maintaining

them later. Additionally, extended operating

temperature range combined with strict ingress protection, wide viewing angle, anti-glare treatment and strong

Luminance makes it as good for outdoor use as for indoor installations.

Features

• Engineering Time Savings: Leverage Woodward’s pre-engineered software with consistent

object orientation in the engineering of data structures and graphic objects

• Simple and Easy to Use: Intuitive web-visualization engineering tool without Web-Knowledge

• More Clients: the easYview server allows you to embed the visualization into 3rd party SCADA

or run it via web-clients on various devices like a central industrial PC or laptop

• Customization: plenty of room for customization including easy connectivity to

other systems through open interfaces

• Scalable: for different screen sizes

• Full Functionality: All developer features can be used in full, without any restrictions.

The full atvise software license is included in each easYview hardware

Streamline complex power system monitoring with easYview, Woodward’s advanced visualization
