WOODWARD 8200-1302 Industrial Control Module

Engineered for precision automation tasks, the WOODWARD 8200-1302 delivers rock-solid performance in demanding environments. This module excels at maintaining consistent control across complex systems, whether managing turbine operations or synchronizing production line processes. Its 24V DC power design and 10kHz output frequency make it particularly effective for high-speed industrial applications requiring millisecond-level response times.

Commonly deployed in power generation facilities and oil refining plants, this module handles critical control functions where failure isn’t an option. We’ve seen it perform reliably in environments exceeding 60°C ambient temperatures while maintaining ±0.05% control accuracy. Its compatibility with legacy PLC systems and modern DCS architectures makes it a versatile choice for system upgrades. Typical applications include:

• Turbine speed control in gas power plants
• Pump synchronization in chemical processing facilities
• Emergency shutdown systems for offshore platforms

Related models we frequently handle include the 8521-0312 UG-10D governor controller and 9907-149 interface module.

What sets this module apart is its dual-watchdog circuitry that prevents system hangs during transient faults. The redundant I/O channels automatically switch in case of signal degradation, maintaining 99.999% uptime in field tests. Installation crews appreciate the color-coded terminal blocks and tool-less mounting clips that reduce setup time by 40%. Personally, I found the onboard diagnostics particularly helpful during commissioning – the LED status codes saved hours of troubleshooting during a recent turbine retrofit project.

For harsh environments, the conformal-coated PCB and IP67-rated housing protect against vibration, moisture, and EMI interference. System integrators benefit from the module’s compatibility with Modbus TCP and EtherCAT protocols, enabling seamless integration into multi-vendor control systems.
