8237-1246

WOODWARD 8237‑1246 is a Digital Speed Governor & Actuator Driver Module from Woodward’s industrial control series. It is designed for small‑to‑medium steam turbines, gas turbines, diesel and gas engine‑driven generator sets, providing integrated speed regulation, load control and direct actuator driving. Commonly used in waste‑heat power plants, industrial cogeneration, oil & gas and marine power systems.

Description

Key Features

  • Adopts high‑precision digital PID control for stable speed and load regulation

  • Supports isochronous (zero‑droop) and droop control modes for standalone or parallel genset operation

  • Accepts magnetic pickup (MPU) speed input (1–30 V AC) and 4‑20 mA remote setpoint signals

  • Built‑in actuator drive output, directly compatible with proportional electro‑hydraulic actuators

  • Integrated protections: overspeed shutdown, valve‑position limit, startup fuel limit, fault self‑diagnosis and alarm

  • Compatible with Woodward synchronizer modules, DCS and PLC systems for centralized monitoring

  • Rugged industrial‑grade design with wide temperature range, anti‑EMI and anti‑vibration performance
