5462-944

Product Brief The Woodward 5462-944 is a high-performance digital microprocessor-based speed controller from the Woodward 505 series, designed for precise speed/load control and system protection of prime movers. It is widely used in diesel/gas engines, steam/gas turbines for power generation, petrochemical, and industrial drive applications.

Description

Brand: Woodward
Model: 5462-944
Type: Digital Speed Controller (505 Series)
Core Application: Speed & power regulation for turbines/engines, standalone or grid-connected operation.

Key Functions

1. Speed & Load Control

  • Supports isochronous (zero-droop) and droop control modes.

  • Accepts 4–20 mA / 1–5 VDC analog signals for remote setpoint adjustment.

  • High control accuracy: error within ±0.25%.

2. System Protection & Auxiliary Control

  • Critical speed avoidance: bypasses resonance zones to prevent mechanical damage.

  • Soft start & valve limit: reduces startup/shutdown impact on actuators.

  • Overspeed/underspeed protection and real-time fault diagnosis with alarm recording.

3. Communication & Integration

  • Equipped with RS-485 and Ethernet interfaces (Modbus/TCP supported).

  • Seamlessly integrates with PLC/DCS; password protection for parameter security.

Technical Specifications

  • Power Supply: 24 VDC ±10% (10–32 VDC range)

  • Operating Temperature: -40°C to +85°C

  • Output Current: 2 A per channel (enhanced overcurrent protection)
