The 8400-016 (Model: 8400-016) is a high-performance digital speed control and automatic synchronization module designed for the precise management of diesel engines, gas engines, and industrial turbines. This microprocessor-based unit functions as a central hub for engine governing, ensuring stable frequency regulation and seamless grid or busbar integration. The 8400-016 (Part Number: 8400-016) is engineered to handle complex load-sharing tasks and features built-in frequency, phase, and voltage matching logic to automate the generator paralleling process.
Operating on a 24 VDC architecture, the 8400-016 (Controller: 8400-016) provides a low-current PWM actuator output, making it compatible with Woodward’s high-speed proportional actuators. It utilizes adaptive speed-sensing algorithms to maintain stability across varying fuel qualities and load conditions. Designed for mission-critical industrial environments, the module supports redundant Ethernet and dual serial communication (RS-232/RS-422), facilitating deep integration with DCS and SCADA systems for real-time diagnostics and data logging.
The 8400-016 (8400-016) provides a comprehensive suite of control parameters for advanced machinery protection and regulation.
