EGCP-3 8406-113 Functional Description

The Woodward 8406-113 Dual Display MC Control Operator Interface is a sophisticated Load Sharing control module designed for precise generator management in industrial power systems. This microprocessor-based unit operates within a wide 18-32V DC input range and withstands temperatures from -20°C to +70°C, making it suitable for demanding environments. It features dual backlit LCD screens that simultaneously display eight lines of operational data and four lines of configuration details, providing comprehensive system visibility. Its intuitive keypad interface allows operators to monitor critical parameters including engine status, generator performance, and load sharing metrics in real-time. The module's robust design ensures reliable synchronization and load distribution across multiple generator sets.

Engineered for seamless integration, the Woodward EGCP-3 Model requires initial configuration through its First Time Startup Menu before operational deployment. The unit offers nine specialized status menus covering all aspects of generator control, from system diagnostics to power factor monitoring. While it excels at load sharing functions, it's important to note that automatic transfer switch (ATS) capabilities require additional MC unit support when connected to mains power. The module's advanced architecture supports both local control via its front panel and remote monitoring through Woodward's Watch Window software via ServLink communication.

The WOODWARD EGCP-3 8406-113 Controller stands out for its comprehensive I/O capabilities and sequence monitoring features, providing granular control over generator operations. Its synchronization precision and load sharing algorithms ensure optimal performance across parallel generator configurations. The unit's design emphasizes user accessibility, with clear menu structures separating system status, engine parameters, and generator metrics. For technicians, it offers simplified troubleshooting through dedicated status screens that highlight operational anomalies and system events, reducing downtime during maintenance procedures.
