Hazards by system controlled
DANGER!
Moving parts and dangerous electricity!
Be aware that the remote control of a system that
is managing life-threatening engine-generator-
electricity parts must be adapted to the local situa‐
tion!
The following safety notes cover both the device
itself and basics of the overall genset system. The
dedicated genset-system safety instruction must
be considered, too!
Prime mover safety

WARNING!
Hazards due to insufficient prime mover pro‐
tection
The engine, turbine, or any other type of prime
mover must be equipped with an overspeed (over-
temperature, or over-pressure, where applicable)
shutdown device(s) that operates independently of
the prime mover control device(s) to protect from
runaway or damage to the engine, turbine, or any
other type of prime mover. Failure to comply with
this also poses the risk of personal injury or loss of

2 System Overview
General notes The easYgen is a stand-alone genset controller with measuring,
monitoring, and breaker control functionality. It comes with an
easily mountable plastic housing covering a thoroughly tested elec‐
tronic-electrical system.
Display and buttons of the HMI offer access to states and values,
as well as access to the application. Password protection enables
the assignment of multiple operation access levels. Remote
access, monitoring, visualization, and configuration are possible
via integrated interfaces. Communication between easYgens using
PLC control or as a network member offers an enhanced system
management range; additionally supported by easy to implement
accessories.
For even higher challenges in genset control, the

easYgen series offers further solutions encom‐
passing complex and ambitious applications.
For dedicated protection tasks, ask Woodward for
its protection (relay) solutions.

(supply should be in normal range).
MANual Start 1. Press the MAN button

ð The LED next to the button will illuminate to confirm the
operation
2. Press the START button to start the genset as described
above. I case of abnormal conditions, such as overheating,
low oil pressure, over speed and abnormal voltage during
generator running occur, the controller can protect genset by
stopping quickly.
MANual Stop Pressing can stop the running generator as described

above.
3.5 Transition Procedures

3.5.1 Disconnect during cranking
There are three conditions under control to abort the starting of the
engine:
n speed sensor
n generator frequency
n engine oil pressure
They can be used separately or in combinations.
We recommend selecting all three at the same time: engine oil
pressure together with speed sensor, and generator frequency.
This allows for an immediate separation of the starter motor from
the engine. Additionally, crank disconnect can be checked exactly.
When set to speed sensor, ensure that the number of flywheel
teeth is the same as setting.
Sensor not used? Make sure not to select a

sensor that is not in use. Otherwise, an error mes‐
sage might occur.
If the speed sensor ( “Firing speed RPM” ) is not

selected, the rotating speed displayed on the con‐
troller is calculated from generator frequency and
the number of poles.
If the generator frequency ( “Firing speed Hz” ) is
not selected, the relative power quantity will neither
be registrated nor displayed (e.g. water pump
application).

2 Speed sensor + Gen frequency
3 Oil pressure
4 Oil pressure + Gen frequency
5 Oil pressure + Speed sensor
6 Oil pressure + Speed sensor + Gen frequency
3.5.2 Manual Breaker Transition

When the controller is in MANual mode, the procedures to switch
supply between mains and genset will be started by a manual
process when the breaker switch is pressed.
CAUTION!
Neither mains nor generator state is taken into
account. Breaker open/close works independent
from the load.
If the generator or the mains are "out of range", the
load can be damaged!
Both breakers GCB and MCB open:
