Product Overview

The Woodward 8200-314 functions as a high-integrity Digital Driver and EM Resolver interface within the MicroNet™ series control architecture. This module translates complex rotational position data into actionable control logic for turbines, compressors, and large-scale rotating machinery. Equipped with an integrated LED display and a functional keypad, it allows for localized monitoring and parameter adjustments directly at the control rack. We provide this component as 100% Brand New and original equipment, ensuring precision and reliability for your safety-critical automation systems.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

The 8200-314 resolves the technical challenges associated with high-precision motion feedback and decentralized operator access in harsh industrial environments.

• Advanced Resolver Integration: The module drives Electromagnetic (EM) Resolvers to capture accurate angular position and velocity data. This ensures the MicroNet system maintains deterministic control over turbine valves or motor shafts, even in electrically noisy environments.

• On-Board Diagnostics and Control: The built-in LED display and keypad eliminate the need for an external laptop for basic configuration or status checks. Technicians view real-time fault codes and operational metrics directly on the module face, accelerating troubleshooting during commissioning.

• Superior Noise Immunity: Woodward utilizes isolated 24V circuitry to protect the resolver signals from the high-frequency interference generated by nearby drives and generators. This maintains signal purity over longer cable runs.

• Rugged Heavy-Duty Build: Weighing 9.9 kg, this driver features a robust chassis designed to endure the constant mechanical harmonics of rotating machinery. It carries full CE, UL, and RoHS compliance for international industrial standards.

FAQs

• Can I replace a discontinued 8200-314 with a Brand New unit?

  Yes. Although many databases list this part as discontinued by the manufacturer, we supply 100% Brand New, original stock. This allows you to maintain legacy MicroNet systems without the risk of using refurbished or unknown-quality boards.

• What is the primary role of the keypad on this module?

  The keypad allows operators to navigate the internal menu on the LED display. You can use it to verify resolver feedback, check system health, or adjust local driver setpoints without interrupting the main controller logic.

• Does the 8200-314 support communication with third-party HMIs?

  The module interfaces with supervisory systems via Ethernet and serial (RS-232/RS-485) protocols. It pushes driver-specific data to the central MicroNet CPU, which then communicates with plant-wide HMI or SCADA platforms.

• What are the installation requirements for the EM Resolver connection?

  Ensure you use high-quality shielded twisted-pair cabling for the resolver interface. Proper termination at the 8200-314 terminal block is essential to prevent signal attenuation and ensure the accuracy of the digital control loop.
