Where This Product Is Used
The WOODWARD EasyGen 3200-5/P2 (Part No. 8440-1843) is engineered for mission-critical power generation environments where multiple generators must operate in parallel with precise load sharing and synchronization. Typical deployment sites include:
- Data Centers & Colocation Facilities — N+1 or 2N diesel genset redundancy with seamless bus synchronization
- Oil & Gas Platforms — Offshore and onshore power management requiring island-mode and grid-parallel operation
- Marine Vessels & Shipboard Power — Multi-genset paralleling for propulsion and hotel load management
- Industrial Plants & Factories — Continuous process power backup with automatic load transfer and peak shaving
- Hospitals & Critical Infrastructure — Life-safety standby systems requiring sub-10-second transfer and stable frequency
- Telecom Base Stations — Remote site genset management with SCADA/Modbus integration
- Mining Operations — Isolated grid power with reactive load sharing across multiple generator sets

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Can the EasyGen 3200-5/P2 synchronize with the utility mains grid?
A: Yes. The P2 variant supports both island-mode paralleling (generator-to-generator) and mains-parallel (generator-to-grid) synchronization with configurable import/export power setpoints.
Q: How many generators can be paralleled using this controller?
A: The EasyGen 3200 series supports up to 32 units on a single CAN bus network, making it suitable for large data center and industrial plant configurations.
Q: Is the 8440-1843 compatible with Cummins QSK and QSX engine ECUs?
A: Yes. The J1939 CAN interface is compatible with Cummins, MTU, Perkins, Volvo Penta, and Caterpillar ECUs. Engine-specific parameter files are available via WOODWARD’s GAP-3 software.
Q: What is the difference between the EasyGen 3200-5 and the EasyGen 3200-5/P2?
A: The /P2 designation indicates the parallel operation firmware package is pre-loaded, enabling multi-genset load sharing and synchronization out of the box without additional software licensing.
Q: Can Konmask provide the WOODWARD configuration software (GAP-3)?
A: Yes, we can assist with software procurement and provide basic configuration support. Contact us with your application details.
