Features:
- Controller role: Woodward 8271-467 combines prime-mover speed control with load-sharing support in a 2301 control architecture.
- Speed feedback: The controller uses a magnetic-pickup input to measure engine or turbine speed.
- Control supply: This version operates from a documented 20–40 VDC supply and uses its specified internal diode arrangement.
The actuator command path must match the installed governor and prime mover rather than being treated as a variable-frequency-drive output.
Stable parallel operation depends on the load-sharing wiring, speed-loop settings and actuator response working as one control loop.
Commissioning should start from the proven settings and service record for the installed machine.

Important Notice: Manuals and supporting documents are provided for engineering review. Confirm the complete product code before ordering.
- Speed feedback: Magnetic-pickup feedback is compared with the speed reference to regulate prime-mover speed.
- Governing output: The controller commands the connected governor actuator through the documented control loop.
- Load-sharing path: Compatible controls coordinate real load when generator sets operate in parallel.
- Internal diode: The documented 20–40 VDC version uses its internal diode arrangement in the high-voltage selector circuit.
- Control supply: Maintain the documented 20–40 VDC supply through cranking and other low-voltage conditions.
- Speed input: Use the installed magnetic-pickup wiring, shielding and signal level specified for the speed channel.
- Actuator circuit: Restore actuator polarity and the documented current path before energizing the control loop.
- Load-sharing line: Reproduce the original parallel-line connections from the approved panel drawing.
- Initial settings: Begin with the proven speed, gain, stability and load-sharing values for the installed prime mover.
- No-load check: Confirm speed feedback and actuator direction before applying generator load.
- Parallel test: Observe real-load transfer and sharing stability with the connected generator set.
- Protection boundary: Complete overspeed and shutdown tests through the site protection system.
- Generator sets: Supports speed governing and real-load sharing in compatible parallel generator installations.
- Industrial engines: Regulates engine speed using magnetic-pickup feedback and a governor actuator.
- Turbine governors: Supports turbine speed duties within the documented 2301 control architecture.
- Parallel prime movers: Coordinates compatible prime movers that share electrical load on a common bus.
