Woodward Inc., an established and leading manufacturer of digital control equipment, recently introduced the digital control unit Model number 9907-162. This unit, part of the Woodward 505 family, is designed for single extraction and/or admission applications in steam turbines and is capable of using one or two staged actuators to drive the inlet steam valve.

The 9907-162 unit features a microprocessor-based setup that enables precise control and optimisation of steam turbine operation. The device is also field programmable, allowing the operator to program through an integrated control panel on the front of the device that provides a two-line 24-character text display of information for easy field operation and monitoring.

In addition, the 9907-162 includes an optional NEMA 4X case to protect the internal circuitry from harsh environments. Although protective shells can improve the durability of equipment in harsh environments, installing protective shells may limit the equipment’s ability to operate safely at higher temperatures.

The Woodward 9907-162 digital control unit is suitable for a variety of industrial applications, including but not limited to power generation, oil and gas, water treatment and mining. It helps improve the efficiency and reliability of industrial processes by providing precise speed control and load regulation.

For communication and data exchange with existing systems, the 9907-162 device provides a variety of communication interfaces, such as Modbus, Profibus and Ethernet, to ensure compatibility with other devices or monitoring systems.

The introduction of the Woodward 9907-162 digital control unit further enriches Woodward’s product line in industrial control and demonstrates the company’s commitment to providing innovative and efficient solutions. With the continuous advancement of industrial automation technology, the 9907-162 device is expected to play an important role in the global industrial automation market, providing customers with efficient and reliable control solutions.
