Woodward 8440-2028

• Communication:
  • Interface: CANbus (isolated)
  • Insulation Voltage: 100 VAC (continuous)
  • Test Voltage: 1,000 VAC (≤5 seconds)
• Environmental Tolerance:
  • Operating Temperature: -40°C to 85°C
  • Humidity: 95% non-condensing
• Protection: IP20 (enclosure rating)

Key Features

• Flexible Configuration:
  • Each input can be assigned a custom name, alarm class, NO/NC (normally open/closed) configuration, and time delay.
  • Output relays are controlled via CANbus by the main controller (e.g., easYgen), enabling centralized command execution.
• High Reliability:
  • Industrial-grade components ensure stable operation in harsh environments (vibration, temperature extremes, electrical noise).
  • Isolated inputs and CANbus interface prevent signal interference.
• Scalability:
  • Supports cascading multiple IKD 1/8440-2028 modules to expand I/O capacity as system demands grow.
• Diagnostics and Monitoring:
  • Real-time status feedback on inputs/outputs via the main controller’s display.
  • Predictive maintenance alerts for proactive system management.
• Ease of Use:
  • Configuration via direct PC/laptop connection using optional software and cables (recommended for bulk setups).

Application Scenarios

• Power Generation:
  • Monitors and controls generators in thermal, hydro, and wind power plants.
  • Manages auxiliary systems (e.g., cooling pumps, fuel valves).
• Oil & Gas:
  • Ensures safe operation of compressors and pumps in upstream/midstream facilities.
  • Provides explosion-proof I/O expansion for hazardous zones.
• Industrial Automation:
  • Controls motors, conveyors, and robotic arms in manufacturing lines.
  • Integrates with PLCs for process optimization (e.g., CNC machining, packaging).
• Transportation:
  • Supports railway signaling, airport baggage handling, and port crane automation.
• Building Automation:
  • Manages HVAC, lighting, and security systems in smart buildings.

Advantages

• Cost-Effectiveness: Reduces total ownership costs through energy efficiency, low maintenance needs, and long service life.
• Future-Proof: Compatible with Industry 4.0 initiatives via support for smart sensors and IoT-enabled devices.
• Global Support: Backed by Woodward’s worldwide service network for installation, training, and technical assistance.
• Modularity: Seamlessly integrates with Woodward’s ecosystem (e.g., easYgen-3000XT, 505XT controllers) for end-to-end solutions.
