System Overview

General notes

The easYgen is a stand-alone genset controller with measuring, monitoring, and breaker
control functionality. It comes with an easily mountable plastic housing covering a
thoroughly tested electronic-electrical system.

Display and buttons of the HMI offer access to states and values, as well as access to the
application. Password protection enables the assignment of multiple operation access
levels. Remote access, monitoring, visualization, and configuration are possible via
integrated interfaces. Communication between easYgens using PLC control or as a
network member offers an enhanced system management range; additionally supported
by easy to implement accessories.

For even higher challenges in genset control, the easYgen series offers further solutions
encompassing complex and ambitious applications.

For dedicated protection tasks, ask Woodward for its protection (relay) solutions.

Display and Status Indicators

General Notes

HMI and the configuration software enable access to control, settings, and visualization.
The front panel offers a number of functionally defined buttons and a set of menu
management buttons. LEDs visualize fixed states, the graphic display works together with
the menu management buttons to show all necessary information.

Restrictions

Full access to all parameters and settings with configuration software only!

HMI access offers a number of information screens in general, and enables - password-
protected - access to parameters and settings.
