Product Introduction
The 8440-2162 model is a high-end front-panel mount controller featuring an intuitive graphical color display (DynamicsLCD) and complete 3-phase true RMS measurement capabilities. It is designed to manage up to 32 diesel or gas generator sets operating in island, utility-parallel, peak-shaving, or emergency backup modes. Equipped with Woodward’s LogicsManager and easYLogic programming tools, it eliminates the need for separate external PLCs while delivering sophisticated load sharing, automatic mains failure (AMF), and engine protection features.
Product User Instructions
- Panel Mounting: Mount the unit securely onto the front switchboard or cabinet door using the integrated clamping elements and gasket to ensure proper environmental sealing.
- Wiring & Connections: Connect true RMS voltage/current inputs, discrete I/O, isolated DC power supply, and network lines (Ethernet or CAN) strictly in accordance with the Woodward technical manual.
- Configuration: Access the controller configuration using Woodward ToolKit software via the front USB port or Ethernet connection to set up application parameters, custom HMI screens, and logic functions.
- Operation: Switch between Auto, Manual, Stop, and Test modes using the tactile front-panel keys and single-line graphical menu interface to initiate start/stop sequences and synchronization.
