8250-570

WOODWARD 8250‑570 is a 723PLUS digital speed‑load governor, microprocessor‑based controller for reciprocating engines, gas turbines and small‑medium generator sets. It integrates high‑precision speed regulation, load control, overspeed protection, ramp control and parallel load‑sharing functions, mainly applied in industrial stationary gensets, gas engine power units, oil‑gas fields and distributed power generation systems.

Description

Key Features

  • Dual redundant magnetic pickup (MPU) speed inputs, built‑in torsional vibration notch filtering, stable anti‑interference for engine flexible coupling working conditions

  • Supports isochronous (zero‑droop) and droop control modes, suitable for standalone operation or grid‑parallel generation

  • Accepts 4‑20 mA / 1‑5 VDC analog remote setpoint for speed/load remote adjustment

  • Built‑in overspeed shutdown, startup fuel limit, acceleration/deceleration ramp control, torque‑based fuel limiting logic

  • Compatible with Woodward DSM/DSLC synchronizer modules to realize real‑power load‑sharing for multiple parallel‑running units

  • Rich configurable I/O: 4 analog inputs, 3 analog outputs, 8 discrete inputs, 3 discrete outputs, compatible with electro‑hydraulic actuators, alarm relays and DCS/PLC systems

  • RS‑232/RS‑422 communication ports, supports parameter configuration and real‑time monitoring via Woodward Watch Window softwareWoodward

  • Industrial‑grade wide‑temperature, anti‑EMI, anti‑vibration and surge‑protection design, Class I hazardous area certification
