FAQ
Q: How is Remote Stop initiated? A: Remote Stop activates when discrete input 9 is de-energized, triggering the programmed cool-down or crash-stop routine.
Q: What does the P2 designation mean? A: P2 indicates the package variant with 19 W maximum intrinsic consumption and expanded I/O capacity.
Q: Can this controller handle marine applications? A: Yes, the rugged design and wide temperature range make it suitable for marine and offshore power systems.
Q: How many gensets can be paralleled? A: The easYgen-3000 platform supports multi-unit paralleling with automatic load sharing across all connected generators.
Selection Tips
Match the P2 package variant to your power consumption and I/O density requirements.
Ensure the DC power supply can deliver 19 W under full backlight and relay load conditions.
For utility paralleling, verify CT ratios fall within the 1–32,000 A programmable range.
Consider redundant Ethernet for critical power generation installations requiring high availability.
