Product Description
Woodward 8270-1013 723PLUS Digital Control System
Product Overview
- The Woodward 8270-1013 is a 723PLUS Digital Control System, designed for precise speed, load, and process control of industrial engines and turbines in applications such as power generation, marine propulsion, and industrial processes. This microprocessor-based control unit is part of Woodward’s 723PLUS series, offering advanced control capabilities for diesel, gas, or dual-fuel engines, as well as small gas or steam turbines. The 8270-1013 provides integrated control, protection, and diagnostics with customizable software, making it suitable for complex systems requiring precise regulation and integration with SCADA or DCS platforms. It features robust communication options and a rugged design for reliable operation in demanding environments. The 8270-1013 is distinct from Woodward’s 505D series (e.g., 8200-1300), Peak150 series (e.g., 8200-176), ProAct series (e.g., 8237-2595), and MicroNet systems (e.g., 5541-693), focusing on versatile engine and turbine control with enhanced flexibility.
