Description
Woodward 2301
Technical Specifications
- Model: 2301
- Type: Digital Speed Controller
- Input Signals: Magnetic pickup, AC voltage, or DC voltage for speed sensing
Functional Features
- Isochronous & Droop Control: Supports both isochronous (constant speed) and droop speed control modes.
- Load Sharing: Enables precise active load sharing between multiple generator sets.
- Engine Protection: Includes overspeed, low oil pressure, and high temperature shutdowns.
Application Scenarios
Ideal for diesel generator sets, mechanical drive applications, and gas engine compressors requiring precise digital speed control.
Performance Parameters
- Speed Regulation: Excellent steady-state and transient speed response.
- Response Time: Fast digital processing for rapid load acceptance.
Material Composition
Industrial-grade electronics housed in a rugged, flame-retardant enclosure.
Structural Characteristics
- User Interface: Front panel for local monitoring and parameter adjustment.
- I/O Terminals: Clearly labeled terminals for sensors, actuators, and communication.
Working Principle
Samples engine speed via a magnetic pickup or other sensor, processes the data through internal PID control algorithms, and outputs precise signals to the fuel actuator to maintain the desired speed setpoint.
Installation Requirements
Mount in a clean, dry environment. Ensure all sensor and actuator wiring is properly shielded and grounded.
Precautions for Use
Verify all parameters are correctly configured for the specific prime mover before initial startup. Regularly test safety protection functions.
