8280-416

Product Overview Woodward 8280‑416 is a low‑voltage DSLC/MSLC gateway master controller in the 723PLUS series, designed for multi‑generator system centralized load management, real‑kW load sharing and synchronization control. It acts as the master unit, coordinating up to 14 DSLC slave controllers and 1 MSLC master synchronizer, widely used in large‑scale parallel power stations, marine integrated power systems, oil‑gas field power plants and industrial micro‑grid prime‑mover control systems.

Description

Key Features

  1. Low‑voltage wide‑range power supply: 18–40 VDC (24 VDC nominal), power consumption 40 W, inrush current 7 A (0.1 ms)

  2. Master gateway function: centralized management of multi‑genset DSLC network, system‑level load distribution & synchronization coordination

  3. Dual magnetic pickup (MPU)/proximity switch speed inputs for high‑reliability speed monitoring

  4. Dual LON bus channels for DSLC/MSLC network communication; 3 serial ports (RS‑232/422/485) supporting Modbus RTU/ASCII for HMI and remote monitoring

  5. Isochronous (constant‑speed) & droop control modes, integrated engine overspeed protection, fuel limiting and fault self‑diagnosis

  6. Conformal‑coated PCB, anti‑vibration, EMI‑resistant, suitable for marine, offshore oil‑gas and heavy‑duty industrial environments
