Product Description
Woodward 8800-1001 MicroNet Plus Control System
Product Overview
- The Woodward 8800-1001 is a MicroNet Plus Control System, designed for advanced control and monitoring of industrial turbines and compressors in applications such as power generation, oil and gas, and process industries. This digital control platform is part of Woodward’s MicroNet series, offering a flexible, modular, and programmable solution for managing gas turbines, steam turbines, or compressors with high precision and reliability. The MicroNet Plus provides real-time control, protection, and monitoring functions, supporting complex control algorithms, redundancy options, and extensive I/O capabilities. The 8800-1001 is a specific configuration of the MicroNet Plus, potentially including a main control module, chassis, or specific firmware tailored for particular turbine or compressor applications. It features robust communication protocols, cybersecurity enhancements, and a rugged design for operation in harsh industrial environments. The 8800-1001 is distinct from Woodward’s genset-focused controls like the EasyGen series (e.g., 8440-2179 EasyGen-3500XT, 8440-2050 EasyGen-3200-5), EGCP-3 series (e.g., 8444-1082), SPM-D2 series (e.g., 8446-1048), as well as other turbine governors like the TG-13 (e.g., 8516-050), 2301D/E series (e.g., 8273-1011), 505D series (e.g., 8200-1300), Peak150 series (e.g., 8200-176), ProAct series (e.g., 8237-2595), 723PLUS series (e.g., 8270-1013), EPG systems (e.g., 8290-195), electronic governors (e.g., 8406-121), and actuators (e.g., 8408-921), focusing on comprehensive digital control for turbines and compressors.
