GC500 - Synchro/Parallel genset controller

Product catalog summary
Overview: The GC500 is a comprehensive genset controller designed for synchro/parallel applications in both production and emergency plants. It is available in two versions: GC500 Plus and GC500 Mains. The GC500 Plus is ideal for managing multiple gensets in synchro/parallel in island mode or with the mains, while the GC500 Mains is suited for managing both genset and mains circuit breakers.
Specifications: The GC500 supports internal load sharing, synchronization via CAN or PWM, and VAR regulation for mains applications. It interfaces directly with engines from manufacturers like Caterpillar and Perkins using a PWM output. The controller provides true RMS readings for generator and mains voltages and currents, and includes additional current measurement for neutral or ground fault protection.
Features: The GC500 offers a range of features including active, reactive, and apparent power measurement, frequency and power measurement on mains input, and a variety of programmable digital and analogue inputs and outputs. It supports remote monitoring systems and has a user-friendly graphic display for immediate visualization of measures and alarms.
Communication and Interfaces: The controller includes multiple communication ports, such as MODBUS RTU serial ports, and supports CAN J1939 interface for a wide range of electronic engines. It also offers options for additional digital and analogue inputs and outputs through various modules.
Performance and Safety: The GC500 is designed for high performance with features like internal active and reactive load-sharing, power regulation, synchronization, and load management. It includes safety features such as overcurrent protection, under/over frequency and voltage protection, and ground fault protection.
Technical Specifications: The GC500 operates on a supply voltage of 7-32 Vdc, with a nominal genset frequency of 50 or 60 Hz. It has a protection degree of IP65 and operates within a temperature range of -25°C to 70°C. The device is multilingual, supporting languages such as English, Italian, French, Russian, Spanish, and Portuguese.
Additional Options: The GC500 can be equipped with additional modules for enhanced functionality, such as RS232/485 Modbus RTU converters, GPRS/GSM/GPS devices, and Ethernet interfaces. A tropicalized version is available for hazardous areas.

GC500 - Synchro/Parallel genset controller-2

GC500 is a comprehensive genset controller for synchro/ parallel applications. It is available in two versions: GC500Plus, particularly suggested for managing multiple gensets working in synchro/parallel and in island mode or for single and production genset working in synchro/parallel with the mains, and GC500Mains,useful when the management of both genset and mains circuit breakers is required (e.g. in case of a single genset with the back synchro requirement). Both versions are able to manage the synchronization up to 16 gensets connected on the same bus. GC500Plus and GC500Mains are designed...
