  • Page 12: Easygen Connected To Gcp/Mfr (Can)

    Manual 37442B LSG - Load Share Gateway easYgen connected to GCP/MFR (CAN) The easYgen devices communicate via CAN bus among each other with an easYgen specific protocol which dif- fers from the GCP/MFR protocol. The LSG is able to connect GCP/MFR and easYgen devices in a single load share network on the same CAN bus.
  • Page 13: Easygen Connected To Legacy Device (Can/Analog)

    Manual 37442B LSG - Load Share Gateway easYgen connected to legacy device (CAN/Analog) The easYgen devices communicate via CAN bus among each other and therefore can´t communicate directly to analog legacy devices which have no CAN bus interface. The LSG is able to connect analog legacy devices and easYgen devices in a single load share network.
  • Page 14: Figure 2-4: Application - Analog Active And Reactive Power

    Manual 37442B LSG - Load Share Gateway Active and reactive power loadshare: On CAN (easYgen) the LSG for active power loadsharing is fixed to work as generator with address 16 the LSG for reactive power loadsharing to work as generator with address 15. For this reason it is not allowed, to set any easYgen to address 15 or 16.

  • Page 23: Figure 4-7: Interfaces - Can Bus - Termination

    • The configured baud rate is too high for wiring length • The CAN bus cable is routed in close proximity with power cables Woodward recommends the use of shielded, twisted-pair cables for the CAN bus (i.e.: Lappkabel Unitronic LIYCY (TP) 2×2×0.25, UNITRONIC-Bus LD 2×2×0.22).
  • Page 24: Bus Shielding

    Manual 37442B LSG - Load Share Gateway Bus Shielding All bus connections of the LSG are internally grounded via an RC element. Therefore, they may either be grounded directly (recommended) or also via an RC element on the opposite bus connection.
