8280-411

Product Overview Woodward 8280‑411 is the high‑voltage DC‑powered basic non‑DSLC speed controller, the direct counterpart of low‑voltage 8280‑410. It is a standalone speed governor with no DSLC/LON‑bus load‑sharing function, dedicated to single‑unit precision speed regulation, overspeed protection, fuel limiting and engine monitoring for diesel/gas/dual‑fuel reciprocating engines. Widely used in single gensets, marine auxiliary engines, gas compressors and heavy‑duty industrial prime movers with high‑voltage DC power supply.

Description

Key Features

  1. High‑voltage wide‑range DC input: 90–150 VDC (nominal 125 VDC)

  2. Dual redundant magnetic pickup (MPU)/proximity switch speed inputs

  3. Supports isochronous (constant‑speed) and droop control modes

  4. No DSLC/LON bus, only basic speed control & protection functions

  5. RS‑232/422/485 serial ports with Modbus RTU/ASCII for configuration & monitoring

  6. Startup fuel limit, overspeed shutdown, built‑in fault self‑diagnostics

  7. Conformal‑coated PCB, anti‑vibration & EMI‑resistant, marine‑approved
