9903-226

Woodward 9903‑226 is a 9903‑series digital speed‑load & overspeed protection controller, engineered for steam/gas turbines, engine‑driven generator sets, compressors and expanders. It combines precision speed governing, load control, overspeed protection and fault diagnosis, compliant with SIL2 safety requirements, widely used in power generation, petrochemical, energy and marine heavy‑duty applications.

Description

Core Functions

  1. Dual control modes: isochronous (zero‑droop) for standalone constant‑speed operation; droop control for multi‑unit parallel load sharing

  2. High‑precision PID closed‑loop regulation, supports critical speed skip, valve stroke limit, startup fuel limit and interlock protection

  3. Real‑time self‑diagnosis, overspeed protection, fault logging and relay alarm output

  4. 4‑20 mA analog remote setpoint input, compatible with DCS/PLC upper‑level system linkage

  5. Supports unit synchronization, ramp‑up/down control, auxiliary interlock and safety protection

  6. Local HMI parameter setting + dedicated Woodward software online tuning & real‑time monitoring
