Woodward 8446-1019 RP-3000 Generator Remote Panel

The Woodward 8446-1019 RP-3000 Generator Remote Panel is a remote visualization and control panel for the Woodward easYgen-3000 Series genset controllers. It provides a front-panel operating interface for easYgen-3200/3500 (door-mounted) or easYgen-3100/3400 (back-panel-mounted) controls, connected via CAN bus (CANopen) with full display, monitoring, and command capability away from the high-voltage wiring.

Key Features

• Remote display and control interface for easYgen-3000 Series genset controls
• Works with easYgen-3200/3500 (door mount) and easYgen-3100/3400 (back-panel mount, with reduced door wiring)
• CAN bus (CANopen) connection to the easYgen control — via CAN 1 or CAN 2, 250 kBd
• Operation and menu structure identical to the easYgen-3000 Series display
• Isolated RS-232 interface and isolated CAN bus interface
• 12/24 V DC supply (8–40 V DC), max. 12 W consumption
• EasYpack housing: approx. 282 × 217 × 67 mm, approx. 1,300 g
• Front protection IP54 (clamp) / IP66 (screw kit); marine type approval (Lloyd’s Register), ABS design assessment

Installation Notes

1. Connect protective earth (PE) to terminal 61 (conductor ≥ 2.5 mm²) before applying power.
2. Supply 12/24 V DC to terminals 63/64 (8–40 V DC); install the recommended 6 A slow-acting protective device in the supply line.
3. Connect the RP-3000 to the easYgen control via CAN 1 or CAN 2 (250 kBd); do not connect a PC with ToolKit on the same CAN bus as the RP-3000.
4. For marine (bridge/deck zone) installations, add an EMI filter on the supply inputs and follow Lloyd’s Register rules.

Common Questions

What is the RP-3000 used for? It is a remote panel that gives front-panel display and control for easYgen-3000 Series genset controllers — particularly useful when the easYgen is mounted on the back panel, greatly reducing door wiring while keeping high-voltage connections safely inside the panel.

How is the RP-3000 connected? Via CAN bus (CANopen) to the easYgen control — either CAN 1 or CAN 2 at 250 kBd.

Which easYgen versions are compatible? easYgen-3200/3500 with software V1.15xx or higher, and easYgen-3100/3400 with V1.17xx or higher; with V1.13xx only Package P2 devices are supported.

What power does it need? 12/24 V DC (8–40 V DC), max. 12 W; use the recommended 6 A protective device in the supply line.
