Transducers

Information Conversion

Woodward offers transducers to transform measured values into process information. The transformed values can be issued by analog outputs or via interfaces to a higher level control system (for example, PLC – Programmable Logic Control). Transducers are required where electrical power, temperatures, pressure, and other process data needs to be transmitted to an upper-level control system for monitoring or control purposes.

For example: Transducers are used in turbine or engine generating set applications where the prime mover control needs information about the electrical load of the application.

Woodward also offers specific transducers with integrated monitoring and protection features for renewable energy sources that comply with latest grid code standards.
