8440-2045 Woodward easYgen-3400-5 Genset Controller Unit

Product Overview

The Woodward 8440-2045 (easYgen-3400-5 Marine) is a premium Genset Control Module from the easYgen-3000 series, housed in a heavy-duty aluminum enclosure specifically built for harsh marine environments. Weighing approximately 2.15 kg (4.74 lbs) and operating on a versatile 12/24 Vdc supply (8 to 40 Vdc range) with 17W max power consumption, this controller features an Accuracy Class 0.5 rating and 16-bit analog input resolution. It provides extensive Engine Control Unit (ECU) compatibility—supporting MTU ADEC, CAT ADEM, Cummins, Volvo EMS2/EDC4, and Scania S6—alongside multi-lingual support across 14 languages, flexible vector group synchronization, and expandable discrete/analog I/O connectivity.

Core Technical Advantages

Rugged Marine Aluminum Construction: Built with high-grade aluminum housing designed to operate reliably in severe marine and off-shore generator set environments.

Broad Engine ECU Compatibility: Features built-in CAN/J1939 protocols for seamless interfacing with MTU ADEC, CAT ADEM, Deutz EMR2, Volvo EMS2/EDC4, Cummins, MAN MFR/EDC7, and SaCos controllers.

High-Precision Signal Processing: Equipped with 16-bit analog input resolution and Accuracy Class 0.5 metering, delivering exceptional control fidelity across a setting range of 0.5 to 99,999.9 kW/kvar.

Technical Specifications

Installation and Maintenance

Panel Cutout & Mounting: Mount the 2.15 kg controller directly into control cabinet doors using panel mounting clamps across the 282 x 216 x 96 mm footprint.

Power & Expansion Cabling: Connect DC power lines ensuring supply voltage stays within 8 to 40 Vdc. Attach remote panels or optional Phoenix Contact IL / Woodward IDK 1 expansion boards for extended I/O capacity.

Engineering Advantages

Robust Marine Metal Housing Weight

Weighing 2.15 kg (4.74 lbs), the solid marine-grade aluminum casing acts as a natural heat sink and provides maximum mechanical protection against high-vibration engine mounts.

Advanced Synchronization Assistance

Includes adjustable transformer vector groups and configurable voltage parameters to streamline generator synchronization across complex marine power grids.

14-Language Multi-Lingual Interface

Includes on-board language switching across 14 global languages, reducing commissioning time for international marine and industrial installations.
