Time flies, from a fledgling new college graduate to the current manager of the information department, Liu Chao has entered SmartGen for 12 years. The young guy in the past has grown into a “Karl” with a trace of gray hairs.
In 2009, the company moved to Jinsuo Road factory area. In the same year, Liu Chao graduated from school. This year he joined SmartGen as a network management post. At that time, the company had fewer than a hundred people, but the network management work was "the sparrow may be small but it has all the vital organs." There was no difficulty for him in website construction, daily network management, and maintenance of various computer software and hardware. In addition, due to the need of work, he also taught himself design-related work, and undertook various publicity design and promotion, exhibition design and construction of the company. He seemed to be omnipotent and omniscient, and was called "encyclopedia" of SmartGen by colleagues.
With the improvement of the company's informatization, Liu Chao began to lead the Informatization work. The interconnection of information software in various fields has become the focus of his work. He was not a computer software professional and had no experience in software development. So he had to teach himself various development languages. The customized needs of each department required him to know the business of each department, deeply understand the needs of each department and responded quickly, and undertook the division of labor and cooperation and training of team members at the same time. In the face of challenges and pressures, he was always methodical. What was impressive was his cute canine tooth and the smile of a typical technical man.
In the second half of 2020, company decided to independently research and develop the "SmartGen Cloud Plus" in order to provide users with more intelligent cloud monitoring services. Liu Chao had a new role, and his work content has changed from meeting the needs of internal departments to meeting the needs of external users. After five months of independent R&D by Liu Chao and his team, the "SmartGen Cloud Plus" was launched on March 18, 2021. It realized the functions of accessing to the cloud platform faster and easier to operate. Five months of closed development was an ascetic experience, but he and his team have submitted a satisfactory answer to the company and users with love and perseverance!
He was a dedicated person and the father of two children. At a departmental dinner, his lover told the leader to criticize him. It was okay for him to be obsessed with code, but he took his two children to sit in front of the computer.
The leader replied: Chao, this was wrong and you must be criticized. This advanced education was too early!
But the leader was also happy. Education should started with children. The future of SmartGen was promising!
For twelve years, he used love, focus, responsibility, and innovation to explain what was the spirit of SmartGen. “I am a piece of brick, where necessary where the removal.” In his own words: Persistence because of love; Living up to it because of trust.
He has been in company for more than ten years. He was still a new employee through constant returning to zero.

GC-3000XT and easYgen-3500XT basically solve any problems of large genset power station control system, manage working status of up to 248 gensets. The standard CANBUS and ETHERNET communication redundancy function make the whole system more reliable. The control system has complete genset management, synchronization and power management function, also has mains peak shaving, emergency reserve, multi-unit parallel, mains grid-connection and other functions.
GC-3400XT Group Management Controller
1.The whole power station system can have 8 GC-3400XT group management controllers;
2.Each group can manage 31 gensets with easYgen-3500XT;
3.GC-3400XT and easYgen-3500XT have communication redundancy function;
4.Manage all gensets automatically start/stop according to load.
easYgen-3500XT Genset Parallel Controller
1.Genset controller for complex parallel application of up to 32 gensets and 16 MCB/GGB;
2.Complete engine, genset and practical program protection;
3.Up to 9 communication ports: 3 ETHERNETs, 3 CAN (CANopen and J1939), RS-485, USB, interface expansion card;
4.Customized logic, HMI screen and alarm.
System Simulation Tool
To facilitate the commissioning of large genset power station, we have analog simulation software of whole system. It is convenient for us to add equipment configuration via PC without starting genset, simulate genset start/stop and working logic under various conditions on PC and display it with graph. This allows us to avoid the safety problem and fuel consumption caused by repeated start during commissioning.
To sum up, WOODWARD complex system management of GC-3000XT and wasYgen-3500XT is worth your choice!

As the common serial communication port, RS485 interface is widely used in various industrial equipment. With the development of the Internet of Things and the demand for equipment remote monitoring, a single RS485 interface can no longer meet different monitoring demands. SmartGen has developed one RS485 interface expansion module SG485-3 to meet the product market demand.
Main Functions
1.MODBUS RTU communication protocol;
2.DC 8~35V supply;
3.Guide rail installation;
4.1 RS485 interface is expanded to 2 RS485 interfaces;
5.Power, communication status LED indication;
6.Built-in 120Ω matching resistor;
7.8-digit dial switch can set master and slave communication address.

MODBUS Tips
1.MODBUS is an international communication protocol for exchanging data between equipment of different manufacturers;
2.MODBUS protocol has three modes: MODBUS RTU, MODBUS ASCII, MODBUS TCP;
3.The physical hardware interfaces of MODBUS RTU, MODBUS ASCII are serial communication ports (such as RS485, RS232, RS422);
4.The physical hardware interface of MODBUS TCP is EHTERNET interface.
