Applications
The L-Series Position Controller provides a building block
approach to total engine management. The
microprocessor-based bi-directional actuator design easily
attaches to fuel pumps, mixers, or throttle bodies.
Description
The L-Series Position Controller accepts a position
command and drives the 060 degree output shaft to the
commanded position based on an internal shaft position sensor. The high-efficiency
torque motor delivers 0.34 Nm (0.25 lb-ft) nominally over 60 travel range to operate
fuel or air control devices (see specifications for torque performance over the full
product temperature range).
The L-Series Position
Controller accepts either a
PWM, 05 V, or CAN
command for output
positioning. The command
signals are issued by the
appropriate supervisory engine
management system, and the
L-Series must be set up
properly in software to expect
the correct signal for the
application.
For status purposes, a relay
driver output is available on the
L-Series control which changes state whenever a fault or error condition is
experienced by the controller.
The L-Series provides a direct position output signal in the form of a dc voltage if
required by the system. The throttle position (TPS) output represents full
counterclockwise-to-clockwise rotation of the actuator shaft, and thus gives the
operator an external position indication.
Besides the traditional bracket mount using external linkage, the L-Series control is
available in a variety of mechanical configurations, including integration with diesel
fuel pumps, throttle bodies, and mixers (product spec 03222). The shaft rotation can
be configured for clockwise or counterclockwise rotation for increasing fuel. For
information on Woodward throttle body applications, refer to manual 26249 (ITB and
LC-50).
Woodward offers optional mounting kits for Stanadyne DB-series or Delphi fuel
injection pumps, providing an integrated control solution.
Woodward also offers L-Series actuator versions for Speed Control (manual 26250)
and Process Control (manual 26251), like Air/Fuel Ratio control, applications.
