Description

The WOODWARD 8280-192 is a 701A Digital Speed Control specifically for controlling the speed of reciprocating engines in mechanical drive or generator set service. The 8280-192 consists of a single printed circuit board housed in a sheetmetal chassis, with connections provided via two terminal strips and a 9-pin subminiature D connector, delivering a compact and reliable control solution for engine prime mover systems.

The 8280-192 operates from a low-voltage DC power supply with an input voltage range of 18–40 Vdc (24 or 32 Vdc nominal), consuming 8 watts as the nominal power consumption at rated voltage. The 8280-192 provides a 0–200 mA actuator output to position the fuel rack proportionally, enabling precise engine speed regulation under varying load conditions.

The 8280-192 includes a magnetic pickup (MPU) speed input for sensing engine speed, with the magnetic pickup versions limited to operating speeds providing 60 Hz magnetic pickup frequency or greater. The 8280-192 also incorporates a 4–20 mA remote speed reference setting input for external speed control, an internal speed reference for local control of speed, and an auxiliary voltage input for load sensor connection in load sharing applications.

Features:

  • Low-Voltage DC Power Supply (18–40 Vdc)
  • Magnetic Pickup (MPU) Speed Input
  • 0–200 mA Actuator Output
  • 4–20 mA Remote Speed Reference and Internal Local Reference
The WOODWARD 8280-192 is a 701A Digital Speed Control for low-speed to medium-speed reciprocating engines, including diesel, gas, and dual-fuel engines operating below 500 rpm. This variant is configured with a magnetic pickup (MPU) speed input, a low-voltage DC power supply (18–40 Vdc), and a 0–200 mA actuator output.

The control utilizes a 16-bit microprocessor for all control functions, including engine speed computation, control algorithm calculations, and speed ramp generation. It incorporates a special tracking filter in the speed sensing circuitry, specifically designed for reciprocating engines. This filter minimizes the effects of engine torsionals and irregularities in the sensing gear, providing exceptionally smooth steady-state control while retaining fast response to speed and load changes.

The 8280-192 WOODWARD 701A Digital Speed Control may still be available for purchase and support from Amikon Limited beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

The control features dual selectable dynamics. Two independent sets of dynamic parameters can be configured and switched via an external contact input. This is useful for engine systems with different operating conditions, such as open or closed clutches, pilot-fuel engines, or utility tie breaker status changes.
The 0–200 mA actuator output drives pneumatic, electric, or electrohydraulic actuators. The actuator sense (forward or reverse acting) is software selectable. Fuel limiting functions include maximum fuel limit, start fuel limit, idle fuel limit, and torque limiters with configurable breakpoints. A start speed setting allows the start fuel limit to be deactivated once the engine reaches a defined speed.
All adjustments are made using the Woodward 9907-205 Hand Held Programmer, which communicates via the RS-422 serial port (9-pin D connector, 1200 baud full duplex). The programmer displays two parameters simultaneously and updates continuously. After setpoints are adjusted, the control saves them permanently in nonvolatile memory that does not require batteries.
  • Power Generation: Regulates engine speed under load changes for consistent frequency output
  • Marine Propulsion: Controls main/auxiliary engines on vessels, handling rapid load shifts from sea conditions
  • Industrial Compressors: Manages speeds of engines driving pipeline/process compressors to prevent overspeed or stalling
  • Pumping Stations: Governs heavy-duty water/fuel pumps driven by reciprocating engines in remote plants

Mounting Location: Do not mount the control directly onto the engine. Choose a location free from heavy vibrations, excessive heat, and high electromagnetic fields.
ESD Precautions: Avoid clothing made of synthetic materials to prevent static buildup. Maintain physical contact with a grounded surface while handling the module, or wear an ESD wrist strap.
Enclosure Clearance: Ensure adequate space around the unit for ventilation and proper wire routing. Keep all wiring clean and organized to reduce physical stress on the terminal blocks.
