9904-111

Woodward 9904‑111 is a 2301A‑platform integrated digital speed‑load controller with built‑in auto‑synchronizer, belonging to the 9904 series. It is a microprocessor‑based governor designed for diesel/gas engines, steam/gas turbines and generator sets, integrating speed regulation, load sharing, automatic grid synchronization, overspeed monitoring and fault diagnosis. It is certified for Class 1 Div 2 hazardous areas, widely used in power generation, petrochemical, marine and heavy‑duty industrial control systems.

Description

Core Functions

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

  2. Built‑in automatic synchronizer, realizes precise frequency, phase and voltage matching for grid‑connection via analog/discrete bias signals

  3. High‑precision PID closed‑loop speed/load control, with MAP manifold pressure limit, torque limit, load rejection protection, soft load transfer functions

  4. Real‑time self‑diagnosis, overspeed monitoring, fault logging and multi‑channel relay alarm output

  5. 4‑20 mA / 1‑5 VDC remote setpoint input, compatible with upper‑level DCS/PLC linkage

  6. Independent RS‑232 & RS‑422 dual serial ports, supports Modbus‑RTU communication, online tuning and real‑time monitoring via dedicated Woodward software
