5. Competitor Comparison
Compared to similar controllers:
- Wider Input Voltage Range: Operates at +24 VDC, reducing reliance on voltage regulators.
- Enhanced I/O Flexibility: Offers 16 contact inputs vs. typical 8–12 in mid-range models.
- Integrated Safety: Combines control and protection functions in a single module, minimizing system complexity.
6. Selection Recommendations
- System Complexity: Choose the 9907-164 for multi-actuator systems requiring split-range control.
- Environment: Opt for IP56-rated models in harsh conditions (e.g., dusty or humid environments).
- Scalability: Pair with Woodward’s 8440-2028 I/O modules for future expansions.
7. Precautions
- Grounding: Ensure proper grounding to prevent EMI interference.
- Firmware Updates: Regularly update via Woodward’s LeoPC software for compatibility and bug fixes.
- Power Supply: Use a filtered power source to avoid voltage spikes.
- Installation: Mount vertically in a vibration-free environment away from high-power cables.
