Description
Woodward 8250-565
Technical Specifications
- Brand: Woodward
- Part Number: 8250-565
- Product Type: Actuator Driver / Output Module
- Series: NetCon / 505 Series Compatible
Functional Features
- Precision Actuation: Delivers highly accurate current or voltage signals to position actuators with minimal deadband.
- Fault Tolerance: Includes internal diagnostics to detect open circuits, short circuits, or feedback mismatches.
- High Driving Capability: Capable of sourcing or sinking sufficient current to drive heavy-duty solenoid valves and servo valves.
Application Scenarios
Widely utilized in steam turbines, gas turbines, and large reciprocating engines for precise speed, load, and temperature control.
Performance Parameters
- Response Time: Millisecond-level signal processing to ensure rapid valve positioning.
- Output Resolution: High-resolution analog output for smooth and stable actuator movement.
Material Composition
Constructed with industrial-grade electronic components, robust printed circuit boards (PCBs), and conformal coating to protect against moisture and conductive dust.
Structural Characteristics
Features a compact modular form factor with standardized rear connectors for backplane integration and front-panel diagnostic LEDs.
Working Principle
Receives digital positioning commands from the main controller via the backplane. The module’s internal digital-to-analog converter (DAC) translates this into a precise analog current or voltage signal, which is then amplified to drive the connected actuator.
Installation Requirements
Must be inserted into a compatible Woodward control chassis. Ensure the backplane connectors are free of debris and the module is fully seated before applying power.
Usage Precautions
Never insert or remove the module while the control system is powered. Always observe Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protocols when handling the board.
