Key Product Functions

• High-Precision Steady Speed Regulation Control: The module integrates Woodward's exclusive adaptive speed measurement and filtering algorithm, which can effectively eliminate the speed signal jitter interference caused by vibration, so that the speed fluctuation of the controlled rotating equipment is always stably controlled within a very small range, ensuring the stable operation of the generator set frequency or the constant speed working condition of the compressor unit.
• Multi-Generator Set Synchronous Load Distribution: The controller supports multi-generator set parallel operation control, which can automatically realize equal-proportion load distribution according to the capacity of each unit, and complete the grid synchronization operation within 1 second, effectively improving the operation efficiency of the whole power generation system.
• Full-Coverage Safety Protection Mechanism: The module has built-in multi-level safety interlock protection logic, which can quickly trigger the emergency trip protection action when the controlled equipment has abnormal states such as overspeed, oil pressure loss and vibration over-limit, and the protection action response time is less than 5ms, effectively avoiding major equipment damage accidents of the rotating unit.
• Perfect System Compatibility: The module is fully compatible with Woodward 2301 series speed governor systems, can seamlessly connect with the existing system fuel actuator, speed sensor and operation panel, no need to replace the existing system hardware in large quantities, which can be directly used as spare parts for the maintenance and replacement of old Woodward speed control systems that have been in operation for many years, effectively extending the service life of the old control system.
• Full Self-Diagnosis and Fault Locating: The module continuously performs real-time all-round health monitoring on the operation state, speed sensor signal state and communication link state, automatically identifies abnormal states such as sensor signal loss, communication interruption, module hardware fault, and uploads fault alarm information to the upper monitoring platform in time, helping maintenance personnel quickly locate system hidden dangers and effectively shorten the system fault recovery time.
