Product Description
8292‑002 is a microprocessor‑based DPG (Digital Programmable Governor) digital speed controller from Woodward, RoHS‑compliant final assembly. It provides closed‑loop speed control for diesel and gas engine generator sets. It supports both isochronous and droop governing modes with independently adjustable PID gains. Features include start fuel limit, acceleration/deceleration ramps, loss‑of‑speed fail‑safe protection, built‑in operator interface and serial communication port. Die‑cast aluminum enclosure with conformal coating offers resistance to oil, water and dust. Works together with magnetic pickup sensor and actuator for engine governing. OEM end‑of‑life, available as legacy maintenance spare partWoodward.
