About WOODWARD GCP-32 GENSET CONTROL

WOODWARD GCP-32 GENSET CONTROL

The GCP-30 series generator set controllers provide the following functions: Engine and generator protection Engine data measurement - including oil pressure and temperature, coolant temperature, battery voltage, speed, service hours, etc. Generator data measurement - including. voltage, current, power, kvar, kW, kWh, etc. Engine start/stop logic Alarm display with breaker trip and engine shutdown Emergency operation for mains failure recognition and automatic engine start incl. transfer logic Control of voltage, frequency, real power and reactive power Real power and reactive power load sharing including load management with automatic start/stop of additional generators. Synchronization of one or two circuit breakers CAN bus communications to engine controllers and plant management systems 

Reliable and Advanced Genset Control

Engineered for automatic and remote operation, the WOODWARD GCP-32 optimizes performance and longevity of your generator set. Its microprocessor-based design ensures accurate synchronizing, load sharing, and event logging, making it ideal for applications in power generation, distribution, and industrial backup systems. User-friendly interfaces and software support streamline both local and remote management.


Comprehensive Communication and Connectivity

The GCP-32 is equipped with a wide range of connectivity options, including RS-232, RS-485, CANopen, and Ethernet ports. With support for Modbus RTU protocol and SNTP/NTP for time synchronization, integration into existing power management systems is seamless, enhancing monitoring and control capabilities for distributed power infrastructure.


Advanced Protection and Event Recording

Boasting up to 150 event records, robust protection functions, and immediate data logging, the GCP-32 safeguards your genset against faults such as over/under voltage and frequency, overcurrent, and reverse power. Its real-time monitoring functions ensure rapid response to anomalies, reducing downtime and preserving equipment health.
