Description
WOODWARD 2301E 8273-1011 Digital Load Sharing & Speed Controller
The
WOODWARD 2301E 8273-1011 is a high-performance digital controller designed for load sharing and speed control of generators driven by diesel or gaseous engines. Built with advanced microprocessor technology, it offers flexible configuration via external software (e.g., Control Assistant) to adapt to engine speed ranges, gear ratios, and control modes (isochronous, droop, or base load). Backward compatible with legacy 2301D systems, the
8273-1011 features dual serial ports (RS-232/RS-422), fault data logging, and PWM outputs for seamless integration with Woodward’s L/F/P-series actuators. Ideal for industrial power generation, oil & gas, and engine-driven pump systems, it ensures stable operation and efficient load management.
