Main features and advantages:
One of the most impressive features of the DEIF AGC242is its precision in measurement. It can accurately measure voltage within the range of 100 – 690 VAC, with a current draw of less than 0.5 mA, and can precisely track the frequency at 50/60Hz. This high – level of accuracy is crucial for maintaining power quality. With such precise measurements, the controller can make minute adjustments to the genset’s output, ensuring that the power supplied is stable and suitable for even the most sensitive electrical equipment.
The controller is equipped with multiple relay outputs, rated at 250VAC/24VDC with a substantial current capacity of 8/16A (UL/CUL: 250 VAC/DC 6A B 300, 24 VAC/DC 8/16A). These relay outputs are incredibly versatile, used to control a variety of external devices. From circuit breakers that protect the electrical system from over – current situations to contactors that switch electrical loads, and even alarms that notify operators of potential issues, the AGC242‘s relay outputs can handle it all. Their high – current capacity simplifies the system design, as they can directly control many industrial – grade components without the need for additional amplification.
In terms of communication, the AGC242 is well – equipped. Options such as Ethernet TCP/IP Modbus RTU enable seamless data exchange with other devices, sensors, and monitoring systems. This connectivity is a game – changer for remote monitoring and control. Engineers can access real – time data about the genset’s performance from a control room located far away or even via the internet. This not only allows for quick decision – making but also enables proactive maintenance. By remotely monitoring the genset’s parameters, potential problems can be detected early, and maintenance can be scheduled before a major breakdown occurs.
The DEIFAGC242 is built to last. Its hardware is ruggedized, designed to withstand the harshest environmental conditions. High temperatures, humidity, and vibrations, common in industrial settings, are no match for this controller. Additionally, it comes with built – in diagnostic features that continuously monitor the health of the genset. It can detect issues like over – current, over – voltage, and engine – related problems, such as low oil pressure or high coolant temperature. When such issues are detected, the AGC242 can take appropriate action, such as shutting down the genset to prevent further damage. This proactive approach not only extends the lifespan of the genset but also minimizes unplanned downtime, which is critical for industrial operations.

Application areas:
In the complex world of industrial power management and automation, the DEIF AGC242stands as a reliable and versatile solution. Consider a large – scale construction site where multiple diesel generators are operating to power various equipment. The DEIF AGC242 controller takes charge of synchronizing these generators, ensuring seamless power supply. It monitors crucial parameters such as voltage, current, and frequency. If there’s a sudden increase in power demand due to the startup of heavy machinery, theAGC242 quickly adjusts the generators’ output, maintaining stable power supply and preventing any disruptions to the construction work.
Onboard ships, power reliability is non – negotiable. The DEIF AGC242 plays a pivotal role in controlling the ship’s gensets. It manages the start – stop sequences of the generators, adjusts their load based on the ship’s electrical requirements, and safeguards against electrical faults. For example, during rough sea conditions when the ship’s electrical load can fluctuate rapidly, theAGC242 ensures that the gensets respond promptly, keeping all onboard systems, from navigation equipment to living quarters’ power supply, running smoothly.
In off – grid or backup power systems, like those in remote communication stations or hospitals, the DEIF AGC242 is equally essential. It enables the efficient operation of diesel or gas – powered generators. In a hospital setting, in the event of a mains power failure, the AGC242 immediately starts the backup generator, monitors its performance, and seamlessly transfers the hospital’s critical loads to the generator, ensuring that life – saving equipment and lighting systems remain operational.
