Woodward 8440-2045 easYgen-3400-5 Marine Controller

Key Technical Specifications at a Glance

The 8440-2045 belongs to Woodward’s easYgen-3000 family. This model is also known as easYgen-3400-5 Marine. It provides an accuracy class of 0.5 for precise power measurement. Analog input resolution reaches 16-bit, ensuring reliable data capture. The setting range covers from 0.5 up to 99,999.9 kW/kvar.

For power supply, the unit accepts 12/24 Vdc nominal. It can operate safely between 8 and 40 Vdc. Maximum intrinsic consumption is only 17 watts. Therefore, it works well in energy-sensitive marine environments.

Mechanical and Environmental Features

Front panel dimensions are 282W x 216H x 96D mm. The enclosure uses aluminum, which resists corrosion. This makes the 8440-2045 suitable for severe operating conditions. Additionally, the device supports multi-language interfaces. These include English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, Russian, Turkish, Polish, Slovakian, Finnish, and Swedish.

Moreover, the controller integrates with many engine ECU types. Supported protocols include MTU ADEC, Scania S6, CAT ADEM, Deutz EMR2, MAN MFR/EDC7 & SaCos, SISI EEM, Woodward E3, Cummins, Volvo EMS2, and EDC4.

Advanced Synchronization and Expansion Capabilities

When using transformers, you can adjust vector groups easily. Configurable voltages also help the synchronization process. The 8440-2045 can connect to a remote panel for flexible operation. Alternatively, you can use it as a standalone emergency generator.

Furthermore, the controller supports I/O expansion boards. Use Phoenix Contact IL or Woodward IDK 1 series for discrete and analog I/O. Therefore, system scalability is straightforward.

Installation and Mounting Guidance

First, mount the unit on a flat, vibration-free panel. Ensure proper clearance for ventilation. Next, connect the 8-40 Vdc power supply with correct polarity. Use shielded cables for analog inputs to reduce noise.

Finally, configure the vector groups and voltage settings via the front interface. The multilingual menu simplifies commissioning. Always follow local electrical safety codes during installation.
