Process Import/Export Input
The EGCP-2 control can be configured to control any process that is determined
or affected by generator load. The Process Import/Export input is used by the
EGCP-2 control to sense the process level being controlled. This input can be
DIP switch, switch 4, configured to accept either a 4–20 mA or 1–5 Vdc signal.
Refer to Figure 3-4 for DIP switch location.

Figure 3-13a. Wiring Diagram for Process Import/Export Input
When connecting a kW transducer signal to multiple EGCP-2s, Woodward
recommends converting the 4–12–20 mA signal to a 1–3–5 Vdc signal by
connecting a 250
Ω
resistor across the output of the kW transducer. The Vdc
signal can then be paralleled to all EGCP-2 controls.
