WOODWARD 8440-2028 IKD 1 Digital I/O Expansion Board

The IKD 1 is a smart solution to increase numbers of digital I/O’s to Woodward easYgen series controllers and GCP-31/32 packages equipped with option SC10 or SC09. It is possible to connect one or more IKD 1 units to the genset controllers

Each of the inputs can be assigned a name, alarm class, NO/NC configuration and time de-lay. The name and class are displayed on the connected genset controller’s display.

The IKD 1 output relays are controlled over the CAN bus connection from the main genset controller. Configuration of the IKD 1 is performed through the relay manager in the main controller and transmitted to the IKD 1.

A Direct Configuration Cable (DPC) and software are available for purchase to facilitate configuration using a PC or laptop. This is especially recommended for extensive configuration tasks or when multiple similar units need to be set up. Key features include:

4.CAN bus communication for data transfer and control

The discrete inputs transmit their status via CAN bus to the control unit, which evaluates the input status and takes appropriate action based on its configuration. The control unit can also send commands via CAN bus to remotely control the output relays of the IKD 1.
