Woodward 8520-0038 Operator Panel

Description

Woodward 8520-0038 Operator Panel

Product Dimensions：

Woodward provides a range of operator panels and Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs) specifically designed for power generation, engine control, and industrial automation. The most prominent current series include the easYgen integrated controllers and the RP-3000XT remote panels.

Below is a detailed overview of the Woodward Operator Panel product line.

1. Product Description

Woodward Operator Panels serve as the primary interface for managing complex power systems. They range from Integrated Control Panels (like the easYgen-3000XT series), which combine the “brains” of the controller with a display, to Remote HMI Panels (like the RP-3000XT or easYview), which provide a dedicated touch interface for controllers mounted inside a cabinet.

• Integrated Design: High-resolution graphical displays (LCD or TFT) with tactile buttons.

• Remote Access: Touch-screen capabilities for monitoring multiple units from a single location.

• Ruggedized Build: Designed for harsh industrial environments, featuring IP65/IP66 front-panel protection.

2. Technical Specifications

Typical values based on the easYgen-3000XT and RP-3000XT series:

3. Product Advantages

• User-Friendly Navigation: Uses DynamicsLCD™ technology with soft keys and multi-lingual support, making complex menus easy to navigate.

• Versatility: A single panel can manage various applications—from simple emergency backup to complex load-sharing of up to 32 gensets.

• Robust Reliability: Built to withstand extreme vibration, high humidity (up to 95%), and temperature fluctuations.

• Seamless Integration: Supports standard protocols like Modbus RTU/TCP and SAE J1939, allowing it to “talk” to almost any Engine Control Unit (ECU) or PLC.

• Enhanced Safety: Includes built-in protection for the engine (overspeed, oil pressure) and the generator (overvoltage, reverse power).

4. Key Considerations (Precautions)

• Independent Shutdown: Always ensure the engine has an independent overspeed shutdown device that operates separately from the Woodward control panel to prevent runaway.

• Battery Maintenance: Turn off any battery-charging devices before disconnecting the battery to prevent voltage spikes that could damage the control electronics.

• Grounding: Ensure proper grounding of the metal housing to avoid electrical interference and ensure personnel safety.

• Configuration: Parameter tuning should only be performed by qualified personnel, as incorrect settings can lead to equipment damage or synchronization failure.

5. Product Applications

• Power Generation: Automatic Mains Failure (AMF), peak shaving, and distributed generation.

• Marine: Ship-to-shore power management and propulsion engine monitoring.

• Critical Facilities: Remote monitoring for data centers, hospitals, and offshore rigs via RP-3000XT remote panels.

• Industrial Automation: Controlling diesel/gas engine-driven compressors, pumps, and turbines.
