8280-208

About the 8280-208

The 8280-208 can be used in marine applications to regulate the load and speed of both medium- and high-speed diesel engines. This includes mechanically combined dual-engine operations with flexible couplings.

The 8280-208 has many features that make it a versatile control. This Woodward 723 control model has several fuel limiting features, such as torque fuel limiting, start fuel limiting, and manifold or external fuel limiting. It also has soft loading/unloading, as well as single-throttle operation for both engines when the system is in clutched operation.

723 Digital Marine Speed Control part 8280-208 has many I/Os. Two-speed sensing inputs provide redundant speed signals through either magnetic pickups (MPUs) or proximity switches. Two load-sharing lines support the mechanical load-sharing functions, and two redundant communication ports ensure proper control status is maintained between controls during clutching and loading.

23 Digital Marine Control Two-engine Mechanical Load Sharing Manual 02827B has complete details on the 8280-208 I/Os, as well as operating and troubleshooting info.
