5462-917

Product Brief Model 5462-917 is a digital microprocessor-based speed controller of Woodward 505 series. As a derivative model of 5462-916, it is applied to precise speed and load control as well as system protection for prime movers such as steam turbines, gas turbines and generators, compatible with single and dual actuator systems.

Description

Brand: Woodward
Model: 5462-917
Type: Digital Speed Controller (FTC DCS II Series)
Main Purpose: Speed and power regulation for steam turbines, gas turbines, diesel and gas engines, supporting standalone and grid-connected operation.
Application Fields: Power generation, petrochemical industry, industrial transmission, marine power and other critical power control applications.

Key Functions

Speed and Load Control

The controller supports isochronous and droop control modes. It receives 4–20mA and 1–5V analog signals to enable remote adjustment of speed and load setpoints. The integrated PID algorithm delivers fast dynamic response and high steady-state accuracy, with a control error within ±0.1%.

System Protection and Optimization

It features critical speed avoidance function to skip resonance ranges and avoid mechanical damage. Valve limit and soft start functions effectively reduce mechanical impact during start and stop processes to protect actuators. The built-in real-time diagnosis and fault alarm system continuously monitors operating parameters and automatically records fault data.

Communication and Configuration

Standard RS-485 and Ethernet interfaces are equipped for connection with PLC and DCS systems. Password protection is applied for parameter settings to prevent unauthorized changes and ensure system security.
