Product Details:
Woodward 5437-081 belongs to the ProTech-GII overspeed protection series. It is a dedicated safety monitoring module for steam turbines, gas turbines, compressors and other rotating prime mover equipment. It focuses on independent overspeed detection and trip protection, separate from the normal speed governor control loop of the unit.
This module receives speed pulse signals from magnetic pickup sensors. It continuously compares the actual rotating speed with the preset overspeed threshold. Once the rotating speed exceeds the safe limit, it will immediately trigger hard trip output to shut down the rotating machinery and avoid catastrophic overspeed accidents.
It supports 2-out-of-3 voting logic configuration for high safety integrity. Multiple independent detection channels work separately, which greatly reduces the risk of false trip or failure to trip caused by single-point component failure. It meets the safety requirements of power, petrochemical and gas compression industries.
It is equipped with built-in hardware self-diagnosis function. It can monitor signal loss, internal circuit abnormality and power supply fault. The module will lock fault status and output alarm signals to DCS and SCADA systems, so maintenance staff can quickly locate abnormal points.
It supports RS232 and RS422 serial communication interfaces. Operators can read real-time speed values, fault records and event logs through communication tools. Configuration parameters such as overspeed setpoint and delay time can also be adjusted according to the parameters of the on-site turbine unit.
It adopts compact rack mounting structure, suitable for installation in industrial control cabinets. It is widely used for new turbine safety system matching, old overspeed protection device replacement and unit overhaul spare parts supply. It is a high-reliability safety protection solution for critical rotating equipment.
