DESCRIPTION
 Redundant CAN-Ethernet
Woodward’s group controller, GC-3400XT is designed to manage virtually any large scale power generation communication between
system you can imagine. It enables you to command up to 248 gensets, with complete genset management, GC-3400XT and easYgen
synchronization, dead bus prioritization, load share, and load dependent start/stop capabilities, in combination
with Woodward’s easYgen-3400XT/3500XT equipped genset controllers. These controllers come with stand-  Redundant Ethernet-
ardized software that is simple to configure, yet easily customizable for individual applications. Peer-to-peer
communication between the controls and load share line redundancy at each level ensures single-fail-safe op- Ethernet communication
eration of your power generation control system. among GC-3400XT
The GC-3400XT is based on a scalable multi-master control concept to combine up to 31x easYgen-3000XT  Generator Group Breaker
equipped gensets with one group controller in a group. The groups are scaled up to x8, i.e. a total up to 248
gensets can be managed in an application. The data flow within the group is handled by CAN or Ethernet or (GGB) synchronization
CAN & Ethernet bus. The group controller collects and sorts the data of its group and acts like a “Big Genset” and busbar arbitration
control to the other GCs. The data flow among the group controllers is handled by second communication bus
Ethernet B or Ethernet C or Ethernet B & C. Through the decoupling of the overall data flow, the bus bandwidth  Mains Circuit Breaker
is kept low and the single genset operation is kept safe, should a group controller become the point of failure.
Furthermore, the group controller may handle a group breaker, to synchronize or prioritize dead busbar closing. (MCB) synchronization
Additionally, the group controller supports the synchronization and soft loading/unloading of a tie- or mains and soft loading /
breaker. Comprehensive diagnostics, monitoring and system update function are implemented to help fast com-
missioning of the system. unloading
Woodward’s easYgen-3400XT/3500XT K51 is an exceptionally versatile genset control with complete engine-  Load dependent start /
generator control and protection, genset breaker synchronization, dead bus arbitration and isochronous/droop stop (LDSS) for the entire
load share capabilities. The easYgen-3500XT is available in two packages, P1 and P2, both are compatible to
work with GC-3400XT. Both the packages are available without a display in a rugged metal housing suitable for fleet
back panel installations. A sophisticated touch screen remote panel (RP-3000XT) complements them as an op-
erator control panel.  Comprehensive

function
 Full connectivity of up to 248 gensets sorted into 8 groups of 31 gensets each. One GC-3400XT per group
 Redundant or single load share communication over CAN/Ethernet between easYgen and group controller  LDSS Emulation tool
 Redundant or single load share communication over Ethernet among group controllers
 Dedicated Ethernet Modbus TCP communication line to external Modbus master (PLC, SCADA etc.)  Emulate generator
 Active and reactive load sharing and load dependent start/stop (LDSS) management of the whole fleet sequencing on a PC
 LDSS algorithm is emulated with a PC software and the final settings are transferred directly to the GC
 Supports synchronization and soft loading/unloading of a tie- or mains breaker  Transfer the final settings
 Phase angle compensation (Vector group adjustment) in case transformers are used in the application directly to the GC-3400XT
 Comprehensive monitoring of all interfaces, loss of redundancy and breaker feedback plausibility check
 “System Update” function for troubleshooting and fast commissioning  UL 61010, UL 6200, CSA,
 Time / Date synchronization over Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) and CE compliance
 Woodward ToolKit™ software for flexible setup from a single connection to the network. The ToolKit can be
accessed either via USB, or via Ethernet, or via CAN ports.
