Description
Woodward EASYGEN-3500-5 – Advanced Genset Controller
Product Overview
The Woodward EASYGEN-3500-5 is an advanced generator-set controller designed for complex power-generation systems with multiple breakers, mains, and generator synchronization requirements. It provides automatic and manual control of generator sets while managing generator measurements, breaker logic, synchronization, load sharing, and power-management functions. The 3500 platform is intended for applications more demanding than basic single-generator controllers, including systems with multiple generators and mains/tie breakers. Woodward documentation identifies the easYgen-3500 family as a controller for complex breaker applications, with CAN bus, Modbus RTU, and multiple communication interfaces depending on the package.

Installation and Maintenance — EASYGEN-3500-5
Before replacement, record the existing configuration, firmware revision, CT ratios, VT settings, breaker logic, CAN addresses, Modbus parameters, and load-sharing settings. Preserve the application file before removing the original controller.
Verify the DC supply, CT polarity, voltage-sensing connections, breaker feedback signals, and emergency-stop circuits. After installation, test generator starting, voltage and frequency measurement, synchronization, breaker operation, load sharing, and alarm/trip functions under controlled conditions.
Personally, I would preserve the original configuration file before changing the controller. Woodward notes that parameter compatibility across easYgen-3000 revisions is possible, but new or changed parameters may still require manual review.
Product Warranty — EASYGEN-3500-5
Warranty coverage depends on supplier, equipment condition, and purchase agreement. For new-old-stock, surplus, or refurbished inventory, confirm the exact package designation, CT configuration, hardware revision, firmware version, display condition, functional-test results, and warranty period before purchase.
The Woodward EASYGEN-3500-5 should be specified together with its complete package and revision information. This is important because Woodward offers multiple 3500 configurations with different current ratings, mounting arrangements, and application options.
