Woodward Easy Gen-320-X is a controller for diesel generator sets developed by Woodward. It is an upgraded model of the Easy Gen-300 series. It is mainly used to control, monitor and protect generator sets to ensure their safe and stable operation. The following are its core functions and technical parameters:
1. Core functions
Engine control: supports automatic start/stop sequence control, preheating control, crankshaft sequencing, and emergency shutdown protection of diesel engines.
Generator protection: provides electrical protection functions such as overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent, frequency anomaly, and reverse power to ensure power generation quality.
Monitoring function: real-time monitoring of engine parameters (oil temperature, water temperature, oil pressure), generator parameters (voltage, current, frequency), and statistical data such as running hours and number of starts.
Communication interface: supports Modbus RTU/TCP, CANopen and other protocols, and can be remotely monitored and configured.
Event record: built-in event recorder, stores historical data such as fault codes, start/stop reasons, etc., to facilitate fault diagnosis.
2. Technical parameters
Power supply: 12/24VDC (optional), working range 8.5-32VDC.
Input and output:
Digital input: 8 channels (configurable as dry contact or wet contact).
Digital output: 6 relay outputs (5A@250VAC/30VDC).
Analog input: 4 channels (0-20mA or 0-10V).
Measurement accuracy:
Voltage: ±0.5% (true effective value RMS).
Frequency: ±0.1Hz.
Current: ±1% (external CT required).
Ambient temperature: -25°C to +65°C (operating), -40°C to +85°C (storage).
Protection level: IP65 (panel), IP20 (back).
Display: Color LCD touch screen (supported by some models), which can display real-time parameters and operation menus.
3. Application scenarios
Backup power supply: hospitals, data centers, communication base stations and other scenarios with high requirements for power continuity.
Main power supply: independent power generation systems in remote areas or areas with unstable power grids.
Parallel operation: multiple generator sets are connected in parallel to achieve load balancing and redundant backup.
4. Comparison with other models
Compared with Easy Gen-320:
320-X may support more communication protocols (such as TCP/IP) and remote monitoring functions.
Some 320-X models are equipped with a color touch screen for more intuitive operation.
320-X may have optimized anti-interference capabilities for specific industries (such as oil and mining).
