About the 8230-3011

Part number 8230-3011 is a generator control in the 723PLUS Digital Control series. Woodward released both high- and low-voltage versions of the 723PLUS Generator Control, 8230-3011 is the high-voltage model (90–150 Vdc, 125 Vdc nominal). The low voltage version (18-40 Vdc) is model 8280-3012.

This generator control is suitable for use in a variety of applications. Model 8230-3011 can be used in marine applications for diesel-electric propulsion and auxiliary generators, as well as base loading and island mode systems. This 723PLUS Generator Control also has an MW Control mode, which provides stable functionality in applications with a weak grid and large frequency excursions. Woodward 723PLUS Generator Control Manual 37827 has complete details on the functionality and suitable applications of the 8230-3011 Generator Control.

This control offers operators a choice between two magnetic pickups (MPUs) or two proximity switches, depending on the needs of the specific application. MPUs offer a measuring frequency of 400—15 000 Hz, while proximity switches are 30—15 000 Hz.

723PLUS Generator Control model 8230-3011 has several inputs/outputs, both digital and analog. These I/Os include:

• 8 digital inputs
• 4 analog inputs
• 3 analog outputs
• 1 actuator output
• 3 communication ports

The communication ports on this control can be used for RS-232, RS-422, or RS-484 communications. A Woodward Hand Held Programmer (part number 9907-207) may also be used via one of these ports.
