Standard and Custom Gas Turbine Controls

Woodward is the world’s largest independent designer and manufacturer of energy control solutions, including governors, actuators, and controls for industrial engines, turbines, and power equipment.

Woodward’s innovative controls and fuel delivery systems ensure engines and turbines deliver cleaner, more efficient, and more reliable performance for power generation, oil and gas, and industrial markets. Woodward’s technologies and services enhance energy conversion of renewable and fossil fuels, energy extraction and distribution, electric power generation and electric power distribution. With a combination of combustion control, motion control, and electronic controls technologies, Woodward enables more responsible energy use by reducing emissions, improving fuel utilization, and enabling power system integration.

Flex500 Digital Control for Turbines, Engines, or Compressors

The Flex500 control system is a custom programmed industrial hardware platform that offers robust, low-cost control for a wide variety of turbine, engine, and compressor applications. Designed to function as a distributed control system, Woodward-based RTCnet™ and/or LINKnet HT™ distributed I/O modules can be used to expand the number and type of input and output signals as required. Ethernet, serial and CAN communication ports, and the related Modbus® TCP/IP and CANopen protocols also make this platform ideal for functioning as part of an overall plant distributed control system (DCS) or as a standalone controller. Four Ethernet ports and four CAN ports allow for the network flexibility and redundancy necessary for today’s critical control system architectures.
