6G Controls - Leading Supplier of New & Original PLC 、DCS Parts and Automation Controller
Product Description
The 8270-1013 (723PLUS) from Woodward is a microprocessor-driven control platform engineered for accurate regulation of speed, load, and process variables in engine- and turbine-driven systems. Designed for demanding industrial duty, this controller integrates real-time processing, configurable control logic, and robust communication interfaces into a compact enclosure suitable for fixed installations.
The 8270-1013 supports a wide range of prime movers, including diesel engines, gas engines, dual-fuel configurations, and small-scale steam or gas turbines. Its control architecture allows precise governing, load sharing, and system protection, making it appropriate for both standalone units and integrated power management systems.
Configuration and diagnostics are performed through a high-resolution color display and secure parameter access, enabling engineers to fine-tune control behavior, monitor operating status, and troubleshoot efficiently during commissioning or maintenance.
