It integrates a built-in operator interface and three freely configurable PID controllers for precise engine-generator management. Designed for front panel mounting, the 8440-2052 is ideal for single or multiple genset operations up to 32 units, offering load sharing, breaker control logic, AMF (auto mains failure), and standby operation. With a 12\/24 VDC (8 to 40 VDC) power supply and 5A CT inputs, this module ensures reliable performance in demanding industrial environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eParameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAnalog Inputs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNon-isolated, freely scalable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBack Panel Dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e250W x 227H x 50mm D\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eContact Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAgCdO\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFront Panel Dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e282W x 216H x 96mm D\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIntrinsic Consumption (Max)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17 W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMeasurable Alternator Windings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3p-3w, 3p-4w, 1p-2w, 1p-3w\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMeasuring Frequency\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50\/60 Hz (40-85 Hz)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdvanced Control:\u003c\/strong\u003e Three PID controllers enable precise regulation of generator parameters, reducing fuel consumption and emissions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScalable I\/O:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 12 configurable discrete I\/Os and 3 analog inputs, expandable via CANopen (32 external discrete I\/Os, 16 analog inputs, 4 analog outputs).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProtective Functions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Configurable setpoints for speed, frequency, voltage, power factor, and excitation ensure generator and engine protection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperator Interface:\u003c\/strong\u003e Built-in front panel for easy monitoring and configuration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIndustry Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 8440-2052 is optimized for genset control in power generation, oil and gas, marine, and backup power systems. Its load sharing capability makes it suitable for parallel generator operation, ensuring stable power distribution and minimal downtime. The AMF function automatically starts and stops the generator during mains failure, providing seamless emergency power transition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation \u0026amp; Setup\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMount the Woodward 8440-2052 in a front panel cutout matching the given dimensions. Ensure adequate ventilation for the 17 W heat dissipation. Connect the 12\/24 VDC supply within the 8-40 VDC range. Wire the analog inputs and CTs per the manual. The module supports both magnetic and switching pickup speed sensors. For CANopen expansion, terminate the bus correctly and configure node IDs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility \u0026amp; Integration\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 8440-2052 integrates with compatible genset controllers via CANopen for expanded I\/O.
