1.4.1 Intended Use
The easYgen unit has been designed and constructed solely for the intended use
described in this Operation Manual and – with even more details – in the Technical
Manual.
•Intended use requires operation of the control unit within the range outlined in the
written speci󰍓cations.
• Steps to be taken for commissioning are outlined in the Technical Manual.
• Intended use includes compliance with all instructions and safety notes presented in
this manual.
• Any use which exceeds or di󰍒ers from the intended use shall be considered improper
use.
• No claims for any kind for damage will be considered if such claims result from
improper use.

1 General Information
1.4 Safety

NOTICE!
Damage due to improper use!
Improper use of the remote panel unit may cause damage to the control unit as well as to
the connected components.
Improper use includes, but is not limited to:
•Operation outside the speci󰍓ed operating conditions.
1.4.2 Personnel
WARNING!
Hazards due to insu󰈢ciently quali󰈠ed personnel!
If unquali󰍓ed personnel perform work on or with the control unit hazards may arise which
can cause serious injury and substantial damage to property.
• Therefore, all work must only be carried out by appropriately quali󰍓ed personnel.
This manual speci󰍓es the personnel quali󰍓cations required for the di󰍒erent areas of work,
listed below:
• Well trained for electrical installations.
• Aware of the local safety regulations.
• Experienced in working with electronic measuring and control devices.
• Allowed to manage the controlled (engine/generator) system.
The workforce must only consist of persons who can be expected to carry out their work
reliably. Persons with impaired reactions due to, for example, the consumption of drugs,
alcohol, or medication are prohibited.
When selecting personnel, the age-related and occupation-related regulations governing
the operating location must be observed.
1.4.3 General hazard warnings
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 situation!
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!

1.4 Safety

Prime mover safety
WARNING!
Hazards due to insu󰈢cient prime mover protection
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 life if the mechanical-
hydraulic governor(s) or electric control(s), the actuator(s), fuel control(s), the driving
mechanism(s), the linkage(s), or the controlled device(s) fail.

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 electronic-electrical system.
Display and buttons of the HMI o󰍒er 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 con󰍓guration are possible via
integrated interfaces. Communication between easYgens using PLC control or as a
network member o󰍒ers an enhanced system management range; additionally supported
by easy to implement accessories.
For even higher challenges in genset control, the easYgen series o󰍒ers further solutions
encompassing complex and ambitious applications.
For dedicated protection tasks, ask Woodward for its protection (relay) solutions.

General notes
The alarm acknowledge handling is valid for following alarm classes
• Warning
• Shutdown
• Trip/Stop
• Trip
Mute Horn
Any new active alarm activates the horn and is made visible by the 󰍔ashing Alarm LED.
After pressing the mute/acknowledge button the horn is deactivated and the Alarm LED
changes from 󰍔ashing to constant active and stays active as long as any alarm is present.
An additional active alarm reactivates the horn and the Alarm LED starts 󰍔ashing again.
Stop by alarm
The operation mode automatically changes to STOP if a stopping alarm is active
(»Shutdown« or »Trip/Stop«).

3.3 Operation Modes
General notes
The easYgen o󰍒ers three operation modes:
• AUTO
• MANUAL (MAN)
• STOP
• ... and an internal (non) operating phase during the start of the device itself
The operation mode can be initiated – provided the current settings allow for this
function:
• directly by pressing the respective button on the front panel
• directly by click on the respective button on the ToolKit-SC remote screen
• via discrete inputs
• via interface
3.3.1 Operation Mode AUTO
General notes
In operation mode AUTO, both genset and breakers are under easYgen control. The start
and stopping of the engine are managed automatically, along with open, close, and
breaker transition.
• supply load by mains
•supply load by generator
• transition load supply from mains to generator or from generator to mains
• start the engine
• stop the engine
Load supply transition from mains to genset
Situation
• Mains becomes abnormal when one or more parameter are outside their working
range and one of the following occurs:
◦»Overvoltage«
◦ »Undervoltage«

3.3 Operation Modes

◦ »Overfrequency«
◦ »Underfrequency«
◦ »Mains voltage asymmetry«
◦ »Mains phase rotation fail«
The start procedure includes breaker handling, engine start, and signaling/warning.
Load supply transition from genset (back) to mains
All of the above listed parameters are (back) in normal range.
The stop procedure includes breaker handling, engine stand-by, and signaling/warning.
3.3.2 Operation Mode MANual
General notes
In operation mode MANual, both genset and breakers are independent of each other
under easYgen control.
The starting and stopping of the engine are managed using the same procedure as in
AUTO mode but without breaker control. Breakers can be opened and closed without
taking care of load, genset, or mains state!
CAUTION!
MANual breaker open/close request can destroy the genset and/or substantial damage
mains.
Take care for genset and supply.
3.3.3 Operation Mode STOP
General notes
In operation mode STOP, the breakers are open and the engine is not running.
This is a con󰍓gurable operation mode, only. This is NO emergency STOP!

Situation
• Mains becomes abnormal when one or more parameter are outside their working
range and one of the following occurs:
◦ »Overvoltage«
◦»Undervoltage«
◦ »Overfrequency«
◦ »Underfrequency«
◦ »Mains voltage asymmetry«
◦ »Mains phase rotation fail«
The AUTO Start procedure runs sub procedures with own timers.
If the mains is back during the process, re-connecting the mains has priority.
The remaining time of each of the timers initiated displays.
When started via “Remote Start (o󰍒 Load)” input, the starting procedure is the same as
shown below but the generator close relay is deactivated.
Because there is no mains control, only the "Start engine" section (green background) is
relevant.
