WOODWARD 8200-1302
Product Description
The Woodward 8200-1302 is a highly specialized digital governor turbine control unit from Woodward’s 505D series. It’s designed to provide precise and reliable control over steam turbines, and potentially other rotating equipment like gas turbines, compressors, pumps, and fans. This module is an integrated unit that combines a digital governor with a graphical front panel HMI (Human-Machine Interface).
Its primary function is to optimize the performance and protection of the controlled machinery. It features advanced control algorithms, including auto-start sequencing for both hot and cold starts, critical speed avoidance, and sophisticated speed and load dynamics management. The integrated HMI panel, typically an 8.4-inch LCD, serves as an intuitive interface with a keypad, allowing operators to make adjustments, monitor turbine status, and view alarms and trip events with associated real-time timestamps.
The 8200-1302 is built for demanding industrial environments, including marine applications (IACS UR E10 compliant) and hazardous areas (ATEX certified), featuring robust ingress protection (IP-54) and pollution degree 3 compliance. It supports various input and output options, including redundant speed inputs, multiple analog inputs (4-20 mA), numerous configurable contact inputs, and control outputs. Communication is typically handled via Modbus ports, allowing seamless integration with broader control systems.
