Description
Woodward 2301E 8273-1011 Digital Load Sharing and Speed Controller
The
Woodward 2301E 8273-1011 is a microprocessor-based digital controller designed to manage load sharing and speed control for generators driven by diesel or gas engines. Built for industrial applications, it integrates advanced features like adaptive speed sensing, dual serial ports (RS-232/RS-422), and configurable I/O to optimize performance in power generation, oil and gas, and manufacturing sectors. Backward compatible with legacy 2301D systems, the
8273-1011 supports soft load transfer, torque limiting, and fault data logging, ensuring reliable operation in critical environments.

- Flexible Configuration: Programmable via PC software (Servlink/Control Assistant) for engine speed range, gear teeth, and actuation direction.
- Dual Serial Ports: Enables seamless integration with Modbus systems and remote monitoring.
- Fault Resilience: Real-time data logging (16 seconds at 10 ms intervals) and protective features like overcurrent/overtemperature safeguards.
- Wide Compatibility: Supports Woodward’s L, F, P, and PISC actuators with low-current PWM outputs.
- Reliability: 12-month warranty, 15+ year service life, and compliance with EMI/ESD standards.
- Power Generation: Synchronizes generators in power plants for stable grid integration.
- Oil and Gas: Manages load distribution in remote pipeline compressor stations.
- Industrial Machinery: Controls speed and torque in pumps and compressors.
Case Study:
A U.S. natural gas plant reduced generator downtime by 25% using the 8273-1011, achieving faster load balancing and improved fuel efficiency.
- Enhanced Temperature Range: Operates at +85°C vs. typical +70°C limits in comparable controllers.
- Dual-Mode Redundancy: Optional redundant configuration for mission-critical systems.
- Easier Commissioning: Plug-and-play compatibility with legacy Woodward systems.
- Power Requirements: Verify 24 VDC input compatibility with existing infrastructure.
- Environment: Opt for the 8273-1011 for extreme temperature (-40°C to +85°C) or hazardous locations.
- Scalability: Choose Modbus RTU support for systems requiring remote monitoring.
- ESD Protection: Ground static discharge before handling the controller.
- Software Updates: Regularly update firmware via Woodward’s Control Assistant (latest version: 5.3.0).
- Load Management: Avoid exceeding the 200 mA output current to prevent overheating.
- Installation: Follow wiring guidelines to minimize EMI interference.
