The data flow
among the group controllers is handled by second communication bus Ethernet B or Ethernet C
or Ethernet B & C. Through the decoupling of the overall data flow, the bus bandwidth is kept low
and the single genset operation is kept safe, should a group controller become the point of failure.
Furthermore, the group controller may handle a group breaker, to synchronize or prioritize dead
busbar closing. Additionally, the group controller supports the synchronization and soft loading/
unloading of a tie- or mains breaker. Comprehensive diagnostics, monitoring and system update
function are implemented to help fast com-missioning of the system.
Woodward’s easYgen-3400XT/3500XT is an exceptionally versatile genset control with complete
engine-generator control and protection, genset breaker synchronization, dead bus arbitration
and isochronous/droop load share capabilities. The easYgen-3500XT is available in two packages,
P1 and P2. both are compatible to work with GC-3400XT. Both the packages are available without
a display in a rugged metal housing suitable for back panel installations. A sophisticated touch
screen remote panel (RP-3000XT) complements them as an operator control panel.
