9905-860

Woodward 9905‑860 is a classic reverse‑acting analog speed‑load & load‑sharing governor in the 2301A series, used for diesel/gas engines, generator sets and turbines. It provides precise speed regulation, real‑kW load sharing for parallel gensets, overspeed protection and torque limiting, widely applied in power generation, marine power, oil‑gas and heavy‑duty industrial prime‑mover control systems.

Description

Core Functions

  1. Two control modes: isochronous (constant speed) for single‑unit stable operation; droop mode for multi‑genset parallel load sharing.

  2. Reverse‑acting logic: fuel decreases as control signal increases; failsafe to full‑fuel position on power loss, compatible with hydraulic / electric‑hydraulic actuators.

  3. Analog PID closed‑loop control with start‑up ramp, stroke limit, load rejection protection and overspeed test function.

  4. Accepts 4‑20 mA remote setpoint for speed/load adjustment, compatible with DCS & PLC systems.

  5. RS‑485 Modbus‑RTU communication for remote monitoring and parameter configuration.
