Description

Woodward A8516039 Digital Governor

Product Dimensions：

The Woodward Digital Governor series (including popular lines like the 2301A, 2301D, 723, and Peak 200) represents the industry standard in electronic control systems for prime movers. These devices are designed to precisely manage the speed and load of gas engines, diesel engines, and steam or gas turbines.

1. Product Description

Woodward digital governors are microprocessor-based control units that sense the speed of a prime mover and adjust the fuel source (via an actuator) to maintain a desired setpoint. Unlike older hydraulic governors, digital versions offer programmable logic, allowing for complex load sharing, synchronization, and remote monitoring.

2. Technical Parameters (General Range)

While specific parameters vary by model (e.g., 2301D vs. 723Plus), typical specifications include:

3. Product Advantages

• Precision Control: Digital algorithms provide near-instantaneous response to load changes, reducing frequency dip.

• Flexibility: Easily configurable via software (WatchWindow or Toolkit) to suit different engine types without changing hardware.

• Load Sharing: Advanced capability to balance the load between multiple generators operating in parallel.

• Diagnostics: Built-in fault logging and LED indicators help identify issues with sensors, actuators, or power supply quickly.

• Durability: Designed for harsh industrial environments, featuring high resistance to vibration and electromagnetic interference (EMI).

4. Key Applications

Woodward governors are found in critical infrastructure worldwide:

• Power Generation: Emergency standby generators for data centers and hospitals.

• Marine: Main propulsion and auxiliary power for ships and offshore rigs.

• Oil & Gas: Controlling pump stations and compressor drives.

• Industrial Plants: Managing steam turbines used for mechanical drive or co-generation.

5. Important Considerations (Precautions)

• Over-speed Protection: A digital governor is a control device, not a safety device. You must always install a separate, independent over-speed shutdown system to prevent engine damage or injury.

• Shielding: Ensure all speed sensor (MPU) and actuator wiring is properly shielded and grounded to prevent electrical noise from interfering with the signal.

• Actuator Matching: Ensure the governor’s output current (mA) is compatible with the specific actuator installed on the engine.

• Firmware Updates: Always verify that the firmware version is compatible with your existing control network before commissioning.
