Description
StuckeGROUP SYMAP‑BCG Generator Protection & Power Management Unit
Product Overview
SYMAP‑BCG (Bus‑tie, Control and Generator protection) is a multifunctional microprocessor‑based digital protection‑control device manufactured by stuckeGROUP (Stucke Elektronik GmbH, Germany)plcix.com. It integrates generator protection, power‑management system (PMS), breaker control, engine governor / AVR regulation and local HMI into one single unit. Adopting triple‑processor mutual‑verification architecture, it serves as the core controller for marine‑board generators, offshore platforms and industrial power‑station gensets. It replaces separate protection relays, synchronizers and small‑size PLCs, reduces switch‑gear wiring complexity. Widely used as spare‑parts for existing ship and offshore power‑system retrofits and maintenance.

SYMAP-BCG
Typical Applications
- Marine power‑system: Main‑switchboard controller for ship‑board diesel‑generator sets, auto‑synchronization, load‑sharing and bus‑tie control
- Off‑shore oil‑gas platform: Genset protection & power management for offshore installations
- Industrial power plant: Protection & control for synchronous / asynchronous generators, transformers and feeders
- Combined genset projects: Auto‑start‑stop, synchronizing, kW/kVAr load‑sharing, load‑shedding for multiple‑generator parallel operation
- Engine‑turbine genset: Interface with engine governor and AVR for closed‑loop genset regulation
- Brown‑field retrofit & spare‑part replacement: Maintenance of existing SYMAP series installed base, upgrade of legacy marine power‑control cabinets

Key Features & Benefits
- All‑in‑one generator‑oriented design: Combines protection, PMS power‑management, synchronizer, breaker control and HMI in one device, cuts hardware quantity and cabinet wiring workload.
- Triple‑processor redundant architecture: Multi‑CPU mutual‑verification plus hardware watchdog, improves reliability for marine and offshore critical power‑supply scenarios.
- Complete ANSI‑standard generator‑protection suite: Covers main electrical‑fault protection for generators, transformers and feeders; multiple protection functions can run simultaneously.
- Mature PMS parallel‑operation capability: Realizes genset auto‑start‑stop, synchronization, load‑sharing and load‑shedding, supports multi‑generator bus‑tie management up to five breakers.
- Embedded programmable LogiSoft PLC: Users can customize interlock, blocking and sequence‑control logic without external PLC hardware.
- Powerful fault‑recording function: Mass time‑stamped event logs + oscillographic fault recording, supports quick post‑fault analysis.
- Rich communication interfaces: Supports multiple mainstream industrial protocols, easy to connect with ship‑board / plant‑level SCADA monitoring‑system.
- Marine‑grade rugged hardware: Meets marine‑classification anti‑vibration & environmental‑adaptability requirements, suitable for ship‑board and offshore‑platform cabinet environments.
