The Woodward EasyGen-350 is a dedicated genset controller designed for automatic generator management in marine and industrial power systems. Operating as a core component within a Marine Control System, it handles engine start/stop sequencing, generator protection, synchronisation, and load sharing functions. Reliable generator control is fundamental to vessel power management, and a correctly functioning controller ensures continuity of electrical supply across critical onboard systems, reducing the risk of blackout and supporting safe operations at sea.
Key Features
✓ Dual-voltage output supply of 12/24V DC with maximum output currents of 0.6A and 0.4A DC respectively, as stated on the unit nameplate.
✓ Measurement voltage rated at 277/480V AC (IEC standard), with frequency compatibility across both 50Hz and 60Hz systems, making it suitable for a broad range of marine generator configurations.
✓ Digital control inputs rated at 12/24V DC, supporting integration with engine control panels, switchboard logic, and external monitoring or alarm systems typical in marine power plant arrangements.
✓ Compact controller format suited to panel or enclosure mounting within engine control rooms or switchboard assemblies; precise dimensional and environmental ratings should be confirmed against installation drawings and the specific vessel configuration.
✓ Designed as a replacement or retrofit unit for Woodward EasyGen-series generator management applications; compatibility with specific engine types, communication modules, and software versions is subject to confirmation based on system configuration.
Marine Applications
✓ Diesel generator sets aboard merchant vessels, offshore support vessels, and platform supply vessels requiring automated start/stop and load management.
✓ Parallel generator operation on vessels with multiple gensets, where synchronisation and load sharing between units is managed via the controller.
✓ Engine room power management panels on ferries, RoRo vessels, and coastal tankers where reliable genset control supports hotel load and propulsion auxiliaries.
✓ Retrofit and upgrade projects replacing legacy generator controllers on older tonnage seeking improved automation and protection functionality within existing switchboard infrastructure.
✓ Standby and emergency generator systems on vessels where automatic start-on-blackout and transfer logic is required as part of the overall power management arrangement.
Why Marine Engineers Choose
The Woodward EasyGen-350 is a well-established genset controller with a proven track record in marine power management. Its dual-voltage flexibility, standard IEC measurement inputs, and support for both 50Hz and 60Hz systems make it a practical solution across a wide range of vessel types and generator configurations, reducing the complexity of sourcing and integration during maintenance or upgrade projects.
Ideal For
Merchant vessels, offshore support and supply vessels, ferries, RoRo and passenger ships, coastal tankers, and any vessel class operating diesel generator sets within an automated marine power management system.
Technical Support & Compliance
Technical assistance is available to support remote troubleshooting, onboard diagnostics, commissioning verification, and integration of this controller within existing power management and switchboard systems. Retrofit and upgrade scoping can also be discussed for vessels transitioning from older generator control platforms. Compatibility with specific engine interfaces, communication protocols, and software configurations is subject to confirmation. To verify suitability for your application, buyers are encouraged to share nameplate photographs, the full part number and revision, switchboard or panel drawings, the generator set make and model, existing controller model and software version where known, and vessel name or IMO number. Early provision of this information helps ensure the correct unit is identified and that any installation or integration requirements are understood before dispatch.
