Description
Woodward PCU2000ETH
Technical Specifications
- Brand: Woodward
- Model: PCU2000ETH
- Communication: Integrated Ethernet (TCP/IP, Modbus TCP)
- Product Type: Networked Turbine Controller
Functional Features
- High-Speed Networking: Native Ethernet port for fast data exchange and remote monitoring.
- Enhanced Processing: More powerful CPU than the PCU1500 series for complex applications.
- Cybersecurity Features: Supports network segmentation and access controls.
Application Scenarios
Modern power plants, distributed generation, and facilities requiring IIoT connectivity and remote diagnostics.
Performance Parameters
- Network Throughput: High-bandwidth data transfer for trending and historian logging.
- Latency: Deterministic Ethernet communication for real-time control.
Material Composition
Industrial-grade enclosure with enhanced EMI shielding for network cables.
Structural Characteristics
Features standard RJ45 Ethernet ports on the front or rear panel alongside traditional I/O connections.
Working Principle
Processes control logic locally while simultaneously managing Ethernet traffic, ensuring that network activity does not interfere with critical turbine control scan times.
Installation Requirements
Use shielded CAT5e or CAT6 Ethernet cables. Connect to a dedicated industrial VLAN to isolate from office traffic.
Usage Precautions
Assign static IP addresses for deterministic communication. Configure firewall rules to protect the controller from unauthorized access.
