8273-1011

Woodward 8273‑1011 is a high‑performance 2301E digital load‑sharing & speed controller, upgraded from classic 2301D/2301A series, designed for diesel/gas engine‑driven generator sets. It adopts microprocessor digital control technology, realizes high‑precision speed regulation and real‑kW load balancing for parallel gensets, supports flexible software configuration, and is backward compatible with 2301D mounting and wiring standards, widely used in power generation, marine power, oil‑gas backup power and industrial prime‑mover control systems.

Description

Core Functions

  1. Multiple operation modes: isochronous (constant‑speed), droop, base load, peak shaving, suitable for single‑unit and multi‑genset parallel island‑grid operation.

  2. Digital PID adaptive control algorithm, effectively eliminating speed hunting during load switching, improving system stability and anti‑interference ability.

  3. Rich I/O interfaces: MPU speed input, actuator drive output, analog input/output, digital switch input, relay output, meeting engine monitoring and protection needs.

  4. Communication interfaces: RS‑232, RS‑422/485 Modbus‑RTU, supporting PC parameter configuration, remote monitoring and DCS/PLC system integration.

  5. Comprehensive protection & fault diagnosis: overspeed protection, actuator stroke limit, over‑current/over‑voltage protection, built‑in fault logging function.

  6. Software configurable forward/reverse acting output, compatible with various proportional actuators.
