WOODWARD SPM-D11 8440-1706B

Unprecedented Ultra – precise Control

The WOODWARD SPM – D11 8440 – 1706B redefines precision control. Leveraging its advanced multi – core microcontroller and refined control algorithms, it can analyze and respond to the most minute and rapid changes in operating conditions. In a modern, hybrid – fueled power plant that integrates solar, wind, and diesel generation, when sudden shifts in renewable energy availability occur, the module can detect changes within milliseconds. It then executes a series of highly coordinated adjustments: precisely modulating the speed of diesel engines, fine – tuning fuel injection down to the nanoliter level, and dynamically redistributing load among different power sources. This results in a power output stability within ±0.1% of the set value, maximizing energy utilization, slashing emissions, and significantly extending the lifespan of engine components by minimizing mechanical stress.

Advanced and Expansive Connectivity

Featuring an upgraded suite of communication interfaces, the SPM – D11 8440 – 1706B offers seamless integration capabilities. The CAN bus now boasts a doubled data transfer rate, ensuring real – time, lag – free communication with other CAN – based devices in the system. The Ethernet interface, in addition to supporting Modbus TCP and Profinet, now includes OPC UA compatibility, enabling secure and standardized data exchange with enterprise – level management systems for comprehensive plant – wide control. The Bluetooth Low Energy 5.0 provides a more stable and faster local configuration option, while the optional Wi – Fi functionality allows for remote access and monitoring from anywhere with an internet connection. In a large cruise ship, the module can connect with hundreds of sensors and actuators across multiple decks, transmitting and receiving data in real – time. It enables the ship’s operators to remotely adjust engine parameters from the bridge, monitor equipment health from on – shore offices, and perform predictive maintenance based on the analyzed data, enhancing both safety and operational efficiency.

Exceptionally Robust and Durable Design

Engineered to withstand the harshest environments imaginable, the WOODWARD SPM – D11 8440 – 1706B has been upgraded to an IP67 protection level. This not only provides superior resistance to dust and water jets but also allows it to endure water immersion, making it ideal for applications in offshore oil rigs, underwater exploration vehicles, and coastal industrial facilities. The enhanced conformal coating offers increased protection against a wider range of chemicals, ensuring reliable operation in chemical plants and refineries. The extended operating temperature range, from – 45 °C to 90 °C, enables it to function flawlessly in arctic expeditions and in the sweltering heat of desert oil fields. Coupled with a redundant design for critical functions and the use of high – quality, military – grade components, the module significantly reduces the risk of failure, minimizing costly downtime and maintenance requirements for industrial operations.

Intuitive and Adaptive Configuration

The SPM – D11 8440 – 1706B features an intuitive and highly adaptive configuration interface. The updated software offers a more user – friendly graphical user interface (GUI) with drag – and – drop functionality, simplifying the customization process even further.
