iE 350

The iE 350 controller is a highly configurable controller that can be customised to many different applications. It contains the functions required to protect and control a diesel generator, mains connection, or bus tie breaker, and their associated breakers.

You can reconfigure the onboard software for all of these applications, for example to change a genset controller to a mains connection controller, using the PICUS software utility. This makes the iE 350 controller a very flexible building block in your power system.

If you need extended controller functionality, you can order the iE 350 controller with a CODESYS PLC environment.

Naturally, the iE 350 comes with built-in IEC 62443-compliant cybersecurity features.

Power to design future-proof solutions

With the iE 350, you get the edge processing horsepower to design and operate any control application. Its powerful quad-core CPU easily handles complex control applications with hundreds of controllers on the same busbar.

Part of the versatile iE 350 range

The iE 350 controller is versatile controller with built-in load sharing and synchronisation features. It can be used for a wide range of marine and offshore applications with an extensive range of protection, supervision, and control functions. The iE 350 can be used in a power management solution where the power management logic is located elsewhere, and it handles busbar sections with ease. The power management can then either be customer built via CODESYS PLC or via an external PLC.

New standards in user friendliness

Thanks to the intuitive user interface, operating the iE 350 is easy. You get a quick overview via the 7” graphical colour touch display, even from a distance or at wide viewing angles, and the light sensor automatically adjusts screen brightness. You can quickly execute basic control actions with the dedicated physical buttons, and you can navigate the controller using the touch screen, navigation keys, and soft buttons, or all of them combined – the choice is yours.

The on-screen texts can be displayed in several languages, and you can configure the built-in multi-colour LED to indicate controller status. These features set new standards in easy control and shorten training and commissioning times.

Highly customisable architecture

All iE 350 variants can be specified with 4 or 7 I/O module slots. The modules provide voltage and current measurement, I/O, engine control, governor and AVR functions, and communication. Three modules are mandatory, but you can use the remaining 1 or 4 slots to customise the controller by adding modules or leave them empty. In addition, you can add up to 9 expansion racks to a single iE 350 to get up to 58 free module slots (up to 4 in the base rack and up to 6 in each expansion rack).

Unique ANSI 87G differential protection

With the optional ACM3.2 module, you can add ANSI 87G differential protection for generators. The module measures phase currents on the consumer and neutral sides of a generator in order to detect phase-to-phase faults or phase-to-earth faults in earthed generator systems. With this unique feature, you can design reliable and safe power systems without external differential protection devices.
