Minor corrections • Design and graphics adjustments New features Requirements: Load Share Gateway (LSG) with device revision A or higher. • New application mode: Load sharing of easYgen devices and GCP/MFR devices supported (Refer to “easYgen connected to GCP/MFR (CAN)” on page 12 for details).
Manual 37442B LSG - Load Share Gateway Chapter 1. General Information TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS The Load Share Gateway (LSG) works only in combination with: • easYgen-3100/3200 (Package P2 – Software Version 1.12xx & 1.13xx) • easYgen-3100/3200 (Software Version 1.15xx or higher) •...
LSG - Load Share Gateway Overview ≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡ The Load Share Gateway (LSG) is a next generation communication converter specifically designed to operate the easYgen-2000 / easYgen-3000 Series and legacy devices (RS-485 bus or analog load share line coupled) in one single load share network.
Manual 37442B LSG - Load Share Gateway Chapter 2. Installation Safety Precautions ≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡ WARNING HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH • Only qualified workers should install this equipment. Such work should be performed only after read- ing this entire set of instructions.
WARNING To prevent damage to electronic components caused by improper handling, read and observe the pre- cautions in Woodward manual 82715, Guide for Handling and Protection of Electronic Controls, Printed Circuit Boards, and Modules. Mounting and Removal ≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡...
Manual 37442B LSG - Load Share Gateway Application Overview ≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡ The LSG is available in two different types: • Active power load share (P) • Reactive power load share (Q) The following figures show application examples for both LSG types (marked with P or Q).
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.
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.
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.
Manual 37442B LSG - Load Share Gateway Examples B: Active power loadshare: On CAN (easYgen) the LSGs are fixed to work as generator with addresses 15 and 16. For this reason it is not al- lowed, to set any easYgen devices to address 15 and 16.

Only the values indicated in Chapter 7: Technical Data on page 30 are valid! The following chart may be used to convert square millimeters [mm²] to AWG and vice versa: mm²...
Manual 37442B LSG - Load Share Gateway Half-Duplex on RS-485 Figure 4-5: RS-485 - connection for half-duplex operation NOTE Please refer to EGCP-2 manual 26076 / 26174 „Installation and Operation – Chapter 3. Electrical Instal- lation and Specifications”. This manual describes how the bus needs to be terminated. Is the LSG at the end of the RS-485 bus, a terminating resistor of 120 ohm needs to be connected to the Sub-D connector.
Manual 37442B LSG - Load Share Gateway CAN Bus Interface The CAN baud rate is detected automatically. For the supported baud rates please refer to „Maximum CAN Bus Length“, Page 23. Figure 4-6: CAN bus - overview Terminal Description not connected...
• 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).
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.
Manual 37442B LSG - Load Share Gateway Chapter 5. Configuration LSG Configuration ≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡ The LSG does not need to be configured. • • The LSG is receiving his operation mode via CAN from the easYgen with the lowest address. •...
Manual 37442B LSG - Load Share Gateway easYgen – LSG Display Information ≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡ If the LSG mode is set to 1 (EGCP-2) the icon “LSG” at the LDSS screen (easYgen) is twinkling if the CAN connection between easYgen and LSG is OK. This icon is permanent, if an EGCP-2 in automatic mode is de- tected on the RS-485 bus.
Manual 37442B LSG - Load Share Gateway EGCP-2 Configuration ≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡ • One EGCP-2 must be configured as the system master. It is recommended to configure the master unit with device number 1 and priority number 1. The EGCP-2 device numbers must not be configured as 8, because the LSG is using this device number.
Manual 37442B LSG - Load Share Gateway Chapter 6. Operation Status LEDs ≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡ The three LEDs indicate the status of the module. The LEDs assist maintenance personnel in quickly identifying wiring or communication errors. A LED test is exercised at power-up. After power up the LEDs are building a “running light” until the correct CAN baud rate is found.
Manual 37442B LSG - Load Share Gateway Functional Test ≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡ Testing the CAN Bus Communication If the connection between the easYgen and the LSG is working properly, the LSG is recognized as a further “ea- sYgen” by the easYgen devices. The LSG appears with the address 16. If a second LSG is used for analog reac- tive Load Share this will appear with address 15.
