WOODWARD 8200-545

الوصف

The WOODWARD 8200-545 is a highly specialized and powerful Digital Valve Positioner (DVP), representing a top-tier configuration within Woodward’s product line for demanding industrial applications. It’s designed for extremely precise and dynamic control of very large and powerful electric valves and actuators, particularly in critical turbine control systems.

WOODWARD 8200-545: Digital Valve Positioner (DVP) – High Output (10kW), SIL-Certified

The WOODWARD 8200-545 DVP stands out due to its combination of high power output and Safety Integrity Level (SIL) certification. This means it not only drives the largest actuators with immense precision but also meets stringent safety standards for use in safety instrumented functions (SIF) within industrial processes.

Product Overview

This particular part number represents a premium, safety-rated configuration within Woodward’s DVP series, optimized for maximum power delivery and adherence to rigorous safety standards.

• Product Type: Digital Valve Positioner (DVP) / Electric Actuator Driver – High Output, SIL-Certified
• Manufacturer: Woodward
• Part Number: 8200-545
• Key Specifications:
  • Input Power: 24 VDC (typically 18–36 VDC).
  • Output Power: This is a crucial distinguishing feature. The 8200-545 is a 10 kW High Output DVP. This means it can supply up to 10 kilowatts of power to operate extremely demanding electric actuators, making it suitable for the largest control valves found in heavy industrial machinery.
  • Safety Integrity Level (SIL) Certification: This is a defining characteristic. The 8200-545 is SIL-certified, indicating it is designed and validated for use in safety instrumented functions (SIF) where a specific level of risk reduction is required. This often means it has redundant components or self-diagnostic capabilities to ensure high reliability in safety-critical applications.
  • Ingress Protection (IP) Rating: Typically IP30. This indicates protection against solid objects larger than 2.5 mm, but no protection against water. It’s designed for installation inside a control cabinet or a well-protected enclosure.
  • Input/Output Connections: Features Terminal Block (TB) Input/Output. All electrical connections for control signals, power, and feedback are made via screw terminals.
  • Communication: This specific variant (8200-545) is listed as No Ethernet, indicating that its primary control signal interface is likely analog (e.g., 4–20 mA, 0–5 VDC) or CANopen.
  • Motor Types: Compatible with Woodward’s Limited Angle Torque (LAT) and Brushless DC (BLDC) motor types, which are integral to their high-performance valves and actuators.
  • Position Feedback: Relies on resolver feedback from the valve or actuator for highly accurate and continuous position monitoring.
• Function: The 8200-545 DVP receives a demand signal from a turbine or plant control system. It then processes this signal in real-time, integrating it with high-resolution position feedback from the actuator, to precisely drive the valve to the commanded position with immense power. Its powerful internal controller utilizes advanced algorithms (such as PID and adaptive OptiTune) to ensure rapid, accurate, and stable valve control, which is essential for maintaining turbine stability, efficiency, and safety, especially in applications where very large, fast-acting, and safety-critical valves are required.

Detailed Product Description

The Woodward 8200-545 Digital Valve Positioner (High Output, SIL-Certified) is a robust and exceptionally capable driver, engineered for the most demanding and safety-critical control applications that require significant electrical power for valve actuation.

• Exceptional Power Output (10 kW): This DVP’s standout feature is its ability to deliver a massive 10 kW of power to the connected actuator. This makes it ideally suited for driving the largest and heaviest electric valves that demand substantial force for precise and rapid movement, crucial in large-scale power generation or industrial processes.
• SIL-Certified for Safety Applications: The SIL certification signifies that this DVP has been rigorously designed, tested, and validated to meet specific safety integrity requirements. This makes it suitable for deployment as part of a safety instrumented system (SIS) to reduce the risk of hazardous events, providing an additional layer of protection in critical operations.
• High-Speed, Accurate Control: It incorporates advanced control algorithms and high-speed processing to accurately and quickly position valves, even under challenging dynamic conditions. This responsiveness is critical for maintaining stability during rapid load changes and precise regulation.
• Integrated Control Architecture: Built upon Woodward’s cutting-edge control architecture, it provides reliable and efficient control for their range of electric motor-driven valves and actuators, specifically designed for both LAT and BLDC motor types.
• Resolver Feedback for Precision: By utilizing resolver feedback from the connected valve or actuator, the DVP establishes a highly accurate closed-loop control system, ensuring precise positioning, excellent repeatability, and minimal overshoot.
• ID Module Compatibility for Simplified Setup: Many newer Woodward valves and actuators come with an integrated “ID module.” When connected to the 8200-545 DVP, it can automatically read critical, valve-specific configuration information. This “plug-and-play” capability significantly simplifies installation, setup, and commissioning, reducing manual configuration errors.
• Robust and Reliable Design: Despite its sophisticated internal electronics, the DVP is built for durability in industrial environments. Its IP30 rating means it should be installed within protected enclosures to ensure long-term reliability.
