Introduction to WOODWARD 8200-1508
8200-1508 Product Overview
The WOODWARD 8200-1508 is a high-precision digital speed control module, a flagship model in the brand’s 8200 series designed for industrial engines and small-to-medium turbomachinery. It integrates advanced proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control algorithms, high-sensitivity speed sensing, and built-in anti-interference technology to deliver stable and accurate speed regulation for diesel engines, gas turbines, and generator sets. Widely applied in backup power systems, oilfield wellhead compressors, and small-scale thermal power units, it maintains constant generator frequency during load fluctuations, optimizes fuel efficiency for gas engines, and provides reliable overspeed protection. Its compact and rugged design features a corrosion-resistant plastic housing with IP54 protection, adapting to dusty, high-vibration industrial environments. Fully compatible with WOODWARD actuators and distributed control systems (DCS), it supports Modbus RTU communication for seamless integration, enabling remote parameter adjustment and real-time status monitoring.
