8280-465

Product Overview Woodward 8280‑465 is the high‑voltage counterpart of the 8280‑464 low‑voltage process‑optimized controller in the 723PLUS series. It is designed for variable‑speed reciprocating gas/diesel engines used in industrial process applications such as compressors, pumping units and pipeline prime movers. Integrating speed governing with multi‑loop PID process control, it supports dead‑band and cascade control modes for pressure, flow and differential‑pressure regulation, focusing on heavy‑duty industrial process performance rather than standard genset load‑sharing control.
