Product Description
Woodward 8200-508 Digital Speed Control
Product Overview
- The Woodward 8200-508 is a Digital Speed Control, part of Woodward’s family of control systems designed for precise speed regulation of engines and turbines in industrial applications. This microprocessor-based control unit is typically used for controlling the speed of diesel or gas engines, small gas turbines, or other rotating machinery in applications such as power generation, marine propulsion, and industrial processes. The 8200-508 offers robust performance with integrated speed control, protection, and diagnostics, making it suitable for standalone or integrated systems. It is compact, cost-effective, and designed for reliable operation in non-critical applications. The 8200-508 is distinct from Woodward’s 505D series (e.g., 8200-1300), Peak150 series (e.g., 8200-176), and MicroNet systems (e.g., 5541-693), focusing on simpler speed control tasks.
