Description
Woodward 8256-022
Technical Specifications
- Product Category: Industrial Control Module / Electronic Governor Component.
- System Integration: Designed to interface seamlessly with Woodward 505, MicroNet, or 2301 series controllers.
- Signal Processing: High-precision analog and digital signal conditioning.
Functional Features
- Signal Conditioning: Filters and scales raw field signals for accurate processing by the main controller.
- Logic Execution: Processes discrete inputs and generates control outputs based on predefined logic.
- System Expansion: Adds specialized functionality or I/O capacity to existing control platforms.
Application Scenarios
Used in packaged control panels for gas engines, steam turbines, and auxiliary skid controls where modular expansion is required.
Performance Parameters
- Reliability: High Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) for continuous industrial duty.
- Response Time: Fast signal processing to ensure real-time control accuracy.
Material Composition
Industrial-grade printed circuit board with conformal coating to protect against moisture, dust, and corrosive atmospheres. Housed in a durable, electrically shielded enclosure.
Structural Characteristics
Compact form factor designed for DIN rail or backplane mounting. Features clearly labeled terminal blocks or connectors for field wiring.
Working Principle
Receives raw electrical signals from field devices, conditions them to standard levels, and passes the data to the main processor. Conversely, it receives digital commands and drives output relays or analog transmitters.
Installation Requirements
Mount in a clean, dry control enclosure. Ensure proper spacing for airflow and avoid routing high-voltage cables directly adjacent to the module.
Usage Precautions
- Verify voltage and signal compatibility before connecting field devices.
- Observe electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when handling the module.
- Do not remove or insert the module while the system is powered (unless hot-swappable).
