Woodward 8440‑2050 High-End Genset Controller for Multi-Units

Product Description

The Woodward 8440‑2050 easYgen‑3200‑5 is an advanced genset controller from the easYgen‑3000/3200 series, designed to provide precise automatic control, monitoring, synchronization, and protection of generator sets.

This high-end controller manages single or multiple generator sets in standby, prime power, or parallel operation. Moreover, it integrates engine management, generator monitoring, breaker control, and bus synchronization into one compact device for seamless operation.

Ideal for industrial plants, hospitals, marine power stations, data centers, and utility systems, the 8440‑2050 ensures continuous uptime, advanced load sharing, and reliable parallel operation. Its flexible communication protocols—Modbus RTU/TCP, CAN, and Ethernet—enable integration with SCADA, PLC, and EMS supervisory systems. In addition, event logging and diagnostic features facilitate rapid troubleshooting and predictive maintenance.
