Key Features

• Supports isochronous (zero‑droop) and droop control modes for standalone constant‑speed operation or multi‑unit parallel load sharing

• Accepts magnetic pickup (MPU) speed signal (1–30 V AC); supports 4‑20 mA / 1‑5 VDC remote speed/load setpoint input

• Built‑in overspeed protection, startup fuel limiting, deceleration control and valve‑position limit functions

• Comprehensive self‑diagnosis for sensor faults, signal loss and abnormal operation with alarm output

• Directly drives electro‑hydraulic proportional actuators; compatible with Woodward synchronizers and DCS/PLC systems

• Industrial‑grade wide‑temperature, anti‑EMI and anti‑vibration design for harsh industrial environments
