The Kongsberg C4xe is a Distributed Processing Unit for generator monitoring and control in Kongsberg marine automation systems. It is designed to control marine generators and bus-tie breakers, including synchronization, breaker control, engine start/stop, load calculation and generator load sharing.

Features

• Generator synchronization and circuit-breaker control.
• Synchronization and connection of bus-tie breakers.
• Auxiliary diesel engine start/stop control.
• Auxiliary engine RPM setpoint control.
• Generator load calculation in kW and kVAr.
• Generator load sharing.
• Optional AVR setpoint control.
• Optional control of auxiliary-engine primer pump and fuel selection.
• Independent synchronizer check for safe circuit-breaker connection.
• Built-in self-test (BIST).
• Dual optically isolated CAN communication channels.
• LED status indication and pluggable connections.
