Woodward 8200-226 Servo Position Controller

Woodward 8200-226 Servo Position Controller

General Information

The 8200-226 is the latest released model of the SPC (Servo Position Controller). It replaces models 8200-224 and 8200-225.

The SPC positions a hydraulic or pneumatic actuator based on a position demand signal received from a control. The SPC positions a single-coil actuator using single or dual position feedback devices. The position demand signal can be sent to the SPC via DeviceNet, 4–20 mA, or both. A software program running on a Personal Computer (PC) allows the user to easily configure and calibrate the SPC. 

Function Description

The SPC Service Tool is used to configure, calibrate, adjust, monitor, and troubleshoot an SPC. The service tool runs on a PC and communicates with theSPC through a serial connection. The serial port connector is a 9-pin sub-Dsocket and uses a straight-through cable to connect to the PC. Woodward offersa USB to 9-pin Serial Adapter kit if needed for new computers that do not have a9-pin serial connector (P/N 8928-463). This kit contains a USB adapter, software,and a 1.8 m (6 ft) serial cable.

The SPC is configured by using the SPC Service Tool's configuration file editor to create a file that is then loaded into the SPC. The SPC Service Tool can also read an existing configuration from an SPC into the configuration file editor.
