WOODWARD 8200-1312
WOODWARD 8200-1312 505XT Digital Control for Steam Turbines (LVDC, Zone-2 Hazardous Location)
Product Description
The WOODWARD 8200-1312 is a highly sophisticated and robust digital governor turbine control module designed specifically for steam turbines. It is a key component within the Woodward 505XT Digital Control System, offering advanced microprocessor-based control capabilities. This particular model is configured for low-voltage DC (LVDC) power input and is certified for use in Zone-2 hazardous locations, making it suitable for demanding environments such as marine propulsion systems, industrial turbines, power generation, and the oil and gas industry.
The 505XT controller excels in providing precise and efficient management of steam turbine operation. It integrates advanced features such as speed governing, load sharing, and comprehensive protection functions. Its intelligent and adaptive control algorithms, including OptiTune adaptive PID technology, ensure optimal turbine performance and bumpless control mode transfers, even during plant upsets.
Key features include an integrated graphical front panel HMI screen with multilingual support (including Chinese), allowing for user-friendly operation, diagnosis, and control. It offers enhanced communication capabilities, including Ethernet and RS485 protocols, enabling seamless integration with plant DCS (Distributed Control Systems) and service tools. The module also provides real-time trending and a graphic steam map to display the current operating point for extraction and admission turbines. Furthermore, it incorporates vibration monitoring for protection and control (requiring an optional sensor kit) and is designed with cyber-compliant features like password-enabled logins and a RemoteView program for virtual monitoring.
