The Woodward 8440-2049 comes from the easYgen 3000 series and represents the 3200 model with a full built-in HMI. Unlike the 3100 cabinet-mount versions, this unit includes a 5.7-inch LCD display for direct local operation. You will find this controller ideal for single or multi-unit genset applications requiring on-site monitoring. Additionally, the 8440-2049 supports open/closed transition, mains parallel operation, and soft loading functions.
Power Supply: 12/24V DC (standard for the easYgen series).
Max. Power Consumption per Path: Less than 0.15 W, ensuring energy-efficient performance.
Measuring Frequency: 50/60Hz with support for 40 to 85 Hz range.
Current Setting Range: 1 to 32,000 A, covering most generator applications.
Relay Outputs: Isolated relay outputs for safe external switching.
The 8440-2049 measures a wide variety of alternator winding configurations. Specifically, it supports 3-phase 3-wire, 3-phase 4-wire, 3-phase 4-wire open delta, 1-phase 2-wire, and 1-phase 3-wire. Therefore, this controller adapts to nearly any industrial generator setup.
Display Type: 5.7-inch LCD with backlight for clear visibility.
Input Method: Soft keys located directly below the screen for intuitive navigation.
Multi-lingual Support: 14 languages including English, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Turkish, Polish, Slovakian, Finnish, and Swedish.
Password Protection: Multi-level access control prevents unauthorized parameter changes.
This controller provides comprehensive breaker management functions. For instance, you get monitoring, open-close control, and slip frequency or phase matching synchronization. Manual breaker control is also possible through configurable voltage and frequency settings. Furthermore, the 8440-2049 supports load transfer features like open/closed transition, mains parallel operation, and soft loading or unloading.
You can adjust numerous setpoints directly through the built-in HMI. These include:
Speed
Frequency
Voltage
Power
Power factor
Reactive power
Additionally, the Woodward 8440-2049 allows customization of protection parameters for generator and mains conditions. Therefore, you can fine-tune the unit to match specific engine-generator characteristics.
The 8440-2049 supports multiple industrial communication interfaces. These include RS-232, RS-485, and CAN protocols. Consequently, you can integrate this controller with existing PLCs, SCADA systems, or remote monitoring platforms. For multi-unit setups, peer-to-peer communication enables automatic sequencing of up to 32 gensets.
Front Panel Dimensions: 282W x 216H x 96D mm.
Operation Temperature: -20°C to 70°C for reliable performance in harsh conditions.
Storage Temperature: -30°C to 80°C.
Housing Material: Robust construction suitable for panel mounting.
Installation Type: Flush mounting on generator control panel door.
First, cut a panel opening according to the dimensions in manual 37528. Next, insert the Woodward 8440-2049 through the front and secure it with the mounting brackets. Then, connect the 12/24V DC power supply to the dedicated terminals. For current sensing, wire your CTs within the 1 to 32,000 A setting range. After that, connect the isolated relay outputs to your breaker trip and close circuits. Finally, power up the unit and configure all setpoints using the soft-key interface.

1. Does the Woodward 8440-2049 require external software for configuration?
No, you can configure all parameters directly through the built-in 5.7 LCD and soft keys. ToolKit software is optional for backup or advanced settings.
2. How many gensets can I parallel with the 8440-2049?
You can connect up to 32 units with automatic sequencing and peer-to-peer communication.
3. What alternator winding types does this model support?
The 8440-2049 supports 3-phase 3-wire, 3-phase 4-wire, 3-phase 4-wire open delta, 1-phase 2-wire, and 1-phase 3-wire configurations.
4. Can I monitor the controller remotely?
Yes, the unit supports RS-232, RS-485, and CAN protocols for connection to SCADA or remote monitoring systems.
5. What happens if the power supply drops below 12V?
The controller operates reliably down to 8V DC. Below that threshold, it will perform a controlled shutdown without damaging internal components.
