Woodward 8440-2046 easYgen-3500-1 Marine Controller

Key Technical Specifications at a Glance

The 8440-2046 belongs to Woodward's easYgen-3000 family. This model is also known as easYgen-3500-1 Marine. It provides an accuracy class of 0.5 for precise measurement. The setting range for current spans from 1 up to 32,000 A. Measuring frequency covers 50/60 Hz with a range of 40 to 85 Hz.

Operation temperature extends from -40°C to 70°C. Ambient humidity tolerance reaches 95% non-condensing. Weight is approximately 1,850 g. Therefore, this controller suits harsh marine environments exceptionally well.

Display and Manual Operation Features

Unlike the easYgen-3400 Marine model, the 8440-2046 supports manual operation. The easYgen-3400 lacks a display screen and requires remote operation. Your 8440-2046 includes a sealed soft-keys display. An easy-to-read, large, back-lit LCD screen provides clear visibility.

Additionally, the device supports multiple languages. These include German, French, Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Slovak, English, and Polish. Changing the language setting is straightforward through the menu.

Redundant Monitoring and Communication

The 8440-2046 features a redundant or dual generator breaker feedback monitoring system. This redundancy enhances safety and reliability. A single communication link must be used between a generator and a PMS set.

Furthermore, the controller holds multiple marine approvals. These include GL, BV, DNV, LR, and ABS. Additional BV and DNV approvals apply to the easYgen-3500-1/P1-MARINE variant.

LogicsManager and Application Modes

The 8440-2046 comes with a built-in LogicsManager. This tool connects input signals and internal states with time elements. It also uses logical operators to execute complex control tasks. Therefore, you can automate sophisticated sequences without external PLCs.

You can use the LogicsManager in several application modes. First, as a load sharing module with synchronization. Second, as a genset controller for emergency-run-generators. Third, as a load sharing module with or without synchronization. Finally, it can interact with up to sixteen LS-5 controls.

Installation and Mounting Guidance

First, flush-mount the 8440-2046 into a cutout on your panel. Ensure the sealed soft-keys display remains accessible. Next, connect the generator breaker feedback wiring using redundant paths. Use the single communication link for PMS integration.

Finally, configure the LogicsManager according to your application mode. Always follow marine installation standards from GL, BV, DNV, LR, and ABS. The wide operating temperature range allows installation in engine rooms or outdoor cabinets.
