Description

Woodward’s easYgen | LS-6XT control is synchronizer controller with integrated mains

decoupling and protection features. It enables several redundant communication

schemes with peer controls. The applications range from independent synch check

relay to complex power management system with multiple utility feeds, bus tie break

ers and group breakers in combination with Woodward’s easYgen-3400XT/3500XT

equipped genset controllers and/or easYgen | GC-3400XT equipped genset groups. Re

dundant busses running among the peer controls ensure that availability of your power

generation asset is not compromised to a single point of failure.

The LS-6XT control together with easYgen-3000XT controls are designed to support

OEM switch-gear builders, generator packagers, and system integrators standardize on

a single hardware for a multitude of utility parallel or island operations. Off-the-shelf

LS-6XT control is software configurable for one/two breaker control, gensets / genset

groups handling, and stand-alone/multi-unit application.

The LS-6XT controller is available in a rugged aluminum powder coated housing. An

LED Annunciator plate is integrated to the front for local annunciation of alarms that

are customizable on-site. Woodward easYview visualization panels are supported over

a separate Ethernet network that works as remote operator control panel.

Targeted at enabling complex power management applications, the easYgen-3500XT supports easYgen | GC

3000XT to manage a large genset fleet of up to 496 sets and easYgen | LS-6XT to control up to 64 synchroniz

ing breaker or manual switches on up to 128 complex bus segments. Redundant load sharing is selectable us

ing Ethernet B and C networks for enhanced reliability. The control combines complete engine-generator con

trol and protection with advanced, peer-to-peer paralleling functionality and innovative features in a robust, at

tractive, user-friendly and all-in-one package. The easYgen-3500 XT controls are designed to direct connect up

to 690Vac and operate to 4000m above sea level without derating.

The easYgen-3500XT is available in two packages. P1. focused at complex paralleling applications provides

redundant Ethernet communication, LS-5 connectivity, and standard I/O set, while P2. Co-Gen/CHP model

offers expanded onboard I/O set, 3-ph busbar voltage measurement capability and phase rotation monitoring

between gen-busbar and busbar-utility. These packages are available without a display in a rugged metal hous

ing suitable for back panel installations (easYgen-3400XT-P1 and easYgen-3400XT-P2 respectively). A sophis

ticated touch screen remote panel (RP-3000XT) complements them as an operator control panel.

A version of easYgen-3500XT (easYgen-3500XT-P1-LT and easYgen-3500XT-P2-LT) is designed to operate

down to -400 C for outdoor applications.

Applications 

The SECM70 control platform is suitable for a variety of applications including gasoline and

natural gas engines for power generation, forklifts, forklifts, and on-highway vehicles.

The SECM70 control system is programmed to meet the specific needs of prime movers and the loads they drive.

At the heart of the SECM70 control system is a powerful 32-bit ST SPC563M64 microprocessor running Woodward’s ControlCore operating system.

Application programming is done through Woodward’s MotoHawk application software tool.

MotoHawk is a rapid control system development tool that allows control engineers to quickly create

control software directly in Simulink diagrams and run it on any MotoHawk enabled electronic control module.

Working directly in the Simulink environment, application developers can turn application models into files

that can be programmed directly into Woodward production hardware in a single build step.

MotoHawk provides an advanced programming environment for users with control system expertise

but not necessarily specific embedded programming skills.

Once the application is generated and loaded into the SECM70 controller via the CAN port,

users can view variables and adjust controls using appropriate service interface tools such as Woodward’s ToolKit or MotoTune.

Connectivity to other devices, such as diagnostic tools, can be accomplished through additional CAN ports on the controller.

The required information flow can be programmed into the controller via MotoTune or ToolKit.

The SECM70 controller consists of a rigid printed circuit board that is attached to an aluminum housing with thermal adhesive.

It is then closed and sealed with an aluminum cover. Connection to the controller is made through

a single 70-pin automotive style sealed connector.

The controller can be mounted directly to the engine or frame using vibration isolators pre-installed on the controller or supplied separately.

through other CAN ports available on the controller.

The required information flow is programmed into the controller via MotoTune or ToolKit.

The PCM112 controller consists of a rigid printed circuit board that is attached to an aluminum enclosure

using thermally conductive adhesive and then closed and sealed with an aluminum cover.

Connections to the controller are made via three automotive style sealed connectors.

The controller can be mounted directly to the engine or frame using vibration isolators.

The 8923-2241 includes the 1751-6685 module and mounting kit.

Expandability

The MicroNet TMR platform is expandable into additional expansion chassis as required by the system

size, and will support any mix of I/O, including networked and/or distributed I/O. Redundant “Real-Time

Ethernet” networks are utilized between main and expansion chassis to ensure a fast and reliable

communications. Expansion chassis are available in 6-, 8-, 12-, or 14-slot models. This TMR architecture

allows all remote I/O points to be automatically shared with each kernel CPU, increasing system

robustness and availability.

Woodward also offers a suite of software service-tools to

simplify system troubleshooting and service. These tools

provide high-speed (5 milliseconds) operational and

analytical information such as graphical display of operating

data, historical trending, event logging, X-Y plotting, system

overviews, calibration pages, and other functions.
