Woodward Integrated Sensor Systems

A Reduced-Weight, Turnkey Subsystem Approach to Aircraft Sensing

Woodward offers complete sensor subsystems which combine multiple sensor types (position, force, pressure, discrete switching, acceleration, angular rate, level, etc.) integrated around a digital-signal concentrator electronics module. Woodward customers realize substantial weight savings due to optimization of sensor wire lengths around the centrally-located signal concentration module.   

Woodward designs the signal data concentrator module to:

• supply multiple types of sensor excitation
• provide signal conditioning for each sensor type
• transmit the data over any number of data protocol formats

The customer supplies sensing types and quantity required, locally available 28-VDC bus power, and digital bus requirements - Woodward does the rest.

Woodward can supply software and hardware certification documentation, as well as complete subsystem environmental and EMI qualification programs.
