Product Overview

The Woodward 8273-140 2301D Speed Module offers high-precision digital control for engine-driven generator systems. This microprocessor-based unit manages both speed regulation and proportional load sharing for parallel prime movers. Replacing legacy analog systems, it provides tighter frequency control and faster response to load transients. Supplied as 100% Brand New original equipment to ensure peak performance in mission-critical applications.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

• Elimination of Analog Drift: Digital architecture ensures precise RPM and load balance without the manual adjustments common in analog systems.

• Enhanced EMI Suppression: Internal filters and rugged chassis shield the module from electromagnetic interference, preventing actuator jitter and unstable engine behavior.

• Software-Based Commissioning: Rapid setup using Woodward’s "Control Assistant" software for configuring PID loops and speed ranges, reducing setup time in generator farms.

• Compact Footprint: Slim design maximizes cabinet space, ideal for high-density installations where multiple controllers need to coexist.

FAQs

Is this module compatible with older 2301A units?

Yes, the 8273-140 2301D is backward compatible with many 2301A applications, providing digital stability and enhanced diagnostics while retaining the same load-sharing functionality.

Does this product come with a warranty or guarantee of condition?

Yes, we guarantee that this module is 100% Brand New, arriving in its original factory packaging with no prior use or refurbishment.

How does the unit handle parallel operation?

The module uses a load-sharing line to communicate with other 2301D controllers, balancing load distribution and ensuring even power demand across all active engines.

Can I configure this module without a computer?

No, unlike analog modules with manual adjustments, the 2301D requires a PC and Woodward software to configure critical parameters like gain, stability, and rated speed.
