Description

Woodward 8559-388

Technical Specifications:

  • Brand: Woodward
  • Model: 8559-388
  • Command Input: DeviceNet communication or 4-20mA analog
  • Output Type: Closed-loop high-precision current drive

Functional Features:

  • High-Precision Closed-Loop Positioning: Built-in LVDT signal conditioning circuit achieves closed-loop precise valve position control, eliminating mechanical dead zones.
  • High Redundancy and Safety: Meets stringent safety and dynamic response requirements for steam turbine fuel control.
  • Flexible Configuration: Supports various servo valve types and different feedback signal formats.

Application Scenarios:
Primarily used for precise position servo control of fuel control valves, main stop valves, and control valves in steam or gas turbines.

Performance Parameters:

  • Position Resolution: 0.1% F.S.
  • Drive Current: Maximum ±40mA
  • Response Bandwidth: > 50Hz

Material Composition:
Constructed with industrial-grade high-reliability electronic components and a fully sealed metal housing, providing strong electromagnetic interference resistance.

Structural Features:
Supports standard DIN rail or panel cutout mounting. Features abundant status indicator LEDs and convenient test terminals on the front panel.

Working Principle:
Compares the target position command with the actual LVDT feedback position, calculating the required drive current through an internal PI regulator to precisely drive the servo spool movement.

Installation Requirements:
Install as close to the servo valve as possible to shorten feedback cable length and reduce signal attenuation. Ensure proper grounding of the control cabinet.

Usage Precautions:
Never apply full-scale output without a connected servo valve. Perform mechanical zero alignment first, followed by electrical calibration during commissioning.
