Woodward 8280-192 701A Digital Speed Control
- Manufacturer: Woodward
- Model/Part Number: 8280-192
- Description: 701A Digital Speed Control, Low Voltage, 18–40 VDC, 0–200 mA Actuator, EC Approved
Overview
- The Woodward 8280-192 is a 701A Digital Speed Control designed for precise speed regulation of reciprocating engines (diesel, gas, or pilot-fuel) in mechanical drive or generator set applications, such as power generation, oil and gas, and marine systems. It uses a 16-bit microprocessor to provide enhanced control dynamics, ensuring smooth steady-state operation and fast response to speed and load changes. The module is EC approved and suitable for low-speed to high-speed engines with one actuator controlling fuel settings.
