Key Features & Capabilities
This genset controller delivers comprehensive monitoring of critical engine parameters including oil pressure, coolant temperature, battery voltage, fuel level, and operational hours. The integrated protection suite automatically responds to fault conditions, safeguarding both the generator and connected loads from damage.
Parallel operation capability enables seamless load sharing between multiple generator sets, optimizing fuel efficiency and system redundancy. The controller manages synchronization, load distribution, and automatic mains failure (AMF) sequences with precision timing and configurable parameters.
Application Scenarios
Prime Power Generation: Ideal for remote installations, telecommunications sites, and off-grid facilities requiring continuous power generation with minimal operator intervention.
Emergency Backup Systems: Provides automatic start/stop functionality for standby generators in hospitals, data centers, and critical infrastructure where power continuity is essential.
Load Management: Supports peak shaving and load shedding strategies in industrial facilities to optimize energy costs and maintain power quality during demand fluctuations.
Integration Solutions
The EasyGen-3200-5 integrates seamlessly with building management systems (BMS) and SCADA platforms through multiple communication interfaces. Remote monitoring capabilities enable real-time status updates, alarm notifications, and performance analytics from centralized control rooms.
Compatible with Woodward's LS-5 load sharing modules and various engine control units, this controller adapts to both new installations and retrofit projects across diesel, gas, and dual-fuel generator configurations.
