Product Overview

The AGC242 is a high‑end genset power management controller within DEIF AGC‑200 series, built for single‑unit and multi‑generator parallel operations. It executes full automatic start‑stop sequence, mains failure handling, generator‑to‑generator and generator‑to‑grid synchronization, real‑kW/kVAR load‑sharing and comprehensive electrical‑engine protection. It monitors generator voltage, current, frequency, power factors plus engine J1939 CAN bus parameters including temperature, oil pressure and running hours. Multi‑stage configurable protection covers over‑voltage, under‑voltage, over‑frequency, under‑frequency, reverse‑power, over‑current and unbalanced‑phase conditions to safeguard genset hardware from abnormal grid events. Built‑in M‑Logic enables custom logic programming without external PLC. Free PC configuration software supports parameter commissioning, firmware upgrade and historical event log export. With high EMC immunity, it delivers stable performance for noisy engine‑room environments in industrial, marine and data‑center backup‑power installations.
