Description
Woodward 5501-365
Technical Specifications:
- Brand: Woodward
- Model: 5501-365
- Product Type: Digital Microprocessor Controller
- Origin: United States
Functional Features:
- Speed and Load Control: Operates steam or gas inlet valves using staged actuator drives to achieve precise speed and load regulation.
- Multiple Control Modes: Supports speed control, load control, and synchronous control (isochronous mode) to optimize performance under various operating conditions.
- Real-Time Diagnostics: Features built-in self-diagnostic capabilities to continuously monitor turbine performance data and trigger alarms for fault conditions.
Application Scenarios:
Widely applied in power generation plants, petrochemical processing facilities, and industrial drive systems utilizing steam or gas turbines.
Performance Parameters:
- Contact Inputs: 16 total (4 fixed, 12 programmable)
- Analog Inputs: 6 programmable (4-20mA)
- Analog Output: 0-10V DC
Material Composition:
Enclosed in a rugged, industrial-grade housing designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions. Internal printed circuit boards are treated with protective conformal coatings.
Structural Features:
Compact design measuring approximately 15.2 cm × 5.1 cm × 20.3 cm with a weight of about 0.7 kg. Features an integrated front panel with a two-line, 24-character text display for local operation.
Working Principle:
Utilizes high-precision digital algorithms to process real-time sensor inputs and execute complex control logic, such as critical speed avoidance and valve limiting, to maintain stable system operation.
Installation Requirements:
Designed for flush mounting in control cabinets. Requires adequate ventilation and proper grounding to ensure reliable operation.
Usage Precautions:
Utilize the menu-driven software for parameter configuration. Conduct thorough system testing and verify all I/O connections before placing the turbine into commercial operation.
