DSLC-2
Woodward’s Digital Synchronizer and Load Control
The Woodward DSLC-2™ (Digital Synchronizer and Load Control) is a microprocessor-based synchronizer and load control designed for use on three-phase AC generators. The DSLC-2 combines synchronizer, load sensor, load control, dead bus closing system, VAR, power factor and process control, all in one powerful package. Applications allow up to 32 generators to be precisely paralleled and controlled. A dedicated Ethernet system provides seamless communications between DSLC-2 and MSLC-2 units. A second Ethernet port is provided for customer remote control and monitoring capability using Modbus TCP allowing easy DCS and PLC interfacing. Modbus RTU is available through a separate RS-485 port. A redundant Ethernet network is possible with the two Ethernet ports. Woodward used the original solid DSLC combined with an additional decade of application experience, to develop the new DSLC-2. The DSLC-2 excels in either simple generator or complex generator system applications. The DSLC-2/MSLC-2 combination provides multiple unit, segment, utility, and intertie breaker control for complex power systems.

Woodward’s Master Synchronizer and Load Control
Woodward’s MSLC-2™ functions with the DSLC-2™ control to provide synchronization and load control across Utility and Intertie breakers. The MSLC-2/DSLC-2 combination operates over an Ethernet communication network to control simple or complex generator system applications. This combination, 32 DSLC-2’s and 16 MSLC-2’s, provide multiple unit, multiple segment, utility and intertie power management for complex power systems. Controls plant wide import/export levels while always providing bump-less load transfers with utility. The MSLC-2 control combines synchronization, dead bus closing, utility/intertie load sensor, baseload control, import/export control, VAR, power factor, and a master process control in one powerful package. The MSLC-2 provides phase matching or slip frequency synchronization, with voltage matching, across a utility or intertie breaker. The MSLC-2/DSLC-2 combination can handle multiple utility connections with a maximum of 8 bus segments in one application. The MSLC-2’s load sensor and load control sense true RMS power and provide a bump-less loading and unloading against a utility grid. Baseload, import/export, process, and utility unload modes control the KW power between different power sources at the same time controlling the reactive power, VAR and power factor. Reactive power is also ramped on and off for the smoothest load transactions between power grids. The MSLC-2 communicates via Ethernet, with redundant Ethernet now available, to control real and reactive loading against the utility by DSLC-2 equipped generators. The tie breaker mode allows synchronization between multiple generator systems. Segments are connected and power can be measured across an intertie, but no load control is functional when in Tie breaker operation.
MSLC-2 Product specificationDSLC Power Management control
The DSLC™ control is a microprocessor-based synchronizer and load control designed for use on three-phase ac generators equipped with Woodward or other compatible speed controls and compatible automatic voltage regulators. The DSLC control is a synchronizer, a load sensor, a load control, a dead bus closing system, and optionally a VAR/PF and process control, all integrated into one powerful, yet convenient package.
