🔧 Mechanical Installation

• Mounting Method: The controller is designed for panel-mount installation using the integrated side clamps to secure it to the enclosure door or cabinet.
• Clearance Requirements: Ensure at least 50 mm of space around the rear of the unit to allow for wiring clearance.
• Thermal Management: Maintain a minimum of 30 mm distance from high-heat sources to ensure optimal internal component longevity. Ensure the installation environment allows for natural air convection.

⚡ Electrical Wiring

• Terminal Definition: The device utilizes pluggable screw terminals. Refer to the specific pinout diagram on the rear chassis which defines the I/O, voltage sensing, and CT inputs.
• Wire Gauge: Use 0.5 mm² to 2.5 mm² (20–14 AWG) stranded copper wire for all I/O connections. Ensure power supply lines utilize at least 1.5 mm² to minimize voltage drop.
• Grounding Standards: A dedicated M4 stud on the rear of the unit must be connected to the main chassis ground using a braided copper strap or a low-impedance wire to minimize EMI/RFI interference.

🌐 Communication Configuration

• Access the ‘Communication’ menu via the front panel or the Woodward ToolKit software.
• IP Address: If utilizing Ethernet, set the static IP address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway according to your site network schema.
• Station ID: Assign a unique Modbus slave address (1–247) for RS-485 serial communication.
• Baud Rate: Configure the speed settings (standard options typically include 9600, 19200, or 38400 bps) to match the master controller or SCADA system.

❓ Common Questions (Q&A)

• What should I do if the unit displays a ‘Sync Fail’ alarm? Verify that the phase rotation (L1, L2, L3) is correct and that the voltage/frequency sensing inputs are within the programmed tolerances compared to the busbar.
• Can I modify the I/O configuration? Yes, the easYgen-2500 series features flexible I/O mapping through the Woodward ToolKit software.
• Is this controller compatible with legacy Woodward modules? It is designed for seamless integration within the easYgen family; however, ensure firmware versions are compatible when replacing older units.
