2301D Load Sharing and Speed Control

Digital load sharing and speed control for electric generator systems

Woodward’s 2301D speed controls are used in electric generator systems where load sharing is desired. They are used with diesel or gas engines, or steam or gas turbines, and are compatible with all Woodward electronic controls. The microprocessor-based digital control is housed in a sheet-metal chassis and consists of a single printed circuit board. The flexible configuration software incorporated in the control hardware allows easy changes to accommodate engine speed range, gear teeth, and selection of forward or reverse acting.

The increased flexibility of software allows the 2301D to include control functions that required additional equipment in previous versions of 2301A control systems. The 2301D therefore is suitable for upgrading existing control systems or increased functionality in new installations.

The 2301D-EC is capable of communicating using a Modbus® RTU protocol, functioning as a Modbus slave device, via RS-232 or RS-422 drivers.
