ECON-4 is digital speed governor dedicated for speed control of gas or diesel engines.
ECON-4 guarantees precise and fast speed control in variable load applications (island operation) and precise load control in network parallel operation. ECON-4 can control different types of actuators (linear, bridge, low voltage signal) providing up to 8A continuous signal which makes it a general speed controller for almost every actuator on the market for engines in range up to few MWel. Additionally ECON-4 can be connected with the gen-set control system via CAN line which significantly reduce and simplify the wiring and commissioning work.
Technical description:
• 8-36Vdc power supply range • 2 types of outputs for actuator control: o Power output with max current of 8 A continuous – dedicated for direct interface to actuators, Linear w/o position feedback and Bridge actuators supported (GAC, Heinzmann, Woodward) o Low power outputsL 0-10VDC/0-20mA signal for smart actuators or stepper motor drivers • Speed control possible in 3 modes – Binary / Analogue / Data • IP 20 • Operating temperature: -30…+70°C
Features:
• Isochronous/droop mode • Actuator position feedback utilisation • Different settings for island and network parallel operation to suit the required control parameters • Start actuator position limitation and maximum actuator position limitation fully adjustable
Suitable for following applications:
• Single speed applications, e.g. 1500 or 1800 RPM • Network parallel operation, typically CHPs • Variable load applications in Island operation, e.g. Prime power generation in Oil&Gas industry, etc.
