Actuator Loop Feedback Response
The 9905-387 functions as the interface between the governor controller and the ProAct actuator, regulating fuel delivery via a 0-200 mA control signal. Accurate tracking of the actuator position is necessary to maintain precise engine speed and load-sharing performance. The module's output circuitry is designed to drive low-impedance actuator coils, necessitating strict adherence to wiring gauge requirements to minimize voltage drop. To ensure consistent actuator loop feedback response, the system must be calibrated for the specific actuator travel time and spring constant, preventing oscillations during rapid throttle adjustments or load transient events.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this module compatible with other Woodward accessory units?
A: The 9905-387 is designed for integration with Woodward ecosystem components, including the SPM-A synchronizer, AGLC, and APTL units. Ensure proper signal bus termination when linking these devices to the same control network.
Q: What are the risks of exceeding the 0-200 mA current range?
A: Operating the actuator outside the specified current range may cause coil overheating or mechanical damage to the ProAct actuator internal components. Always verify the maximum current draw of the connected actuator before full-load commissioning.
Field Installation Guidelines
- Mounting: Secure the module within a temperature-controlled cabinet enclosure. Avoid mounting near high-heat sources to maintain the longevity of the digital logic components.
- Electrical Connections: Supply the module with a stable 18-32 VDC power source. Use twisted-pair, shielded cabling for the 0-200 mA control output to mitigate electromagnetic interference from ignition or motor systems.
- Grounding: Terminate the cable shield at the control cabinet ground terminal to provide a low-impedance path for noise drainage. Do not ground the shield at both ends to avoid ground loops.
- Configuration: Utilize the integrated fault data logging features during initial setup to monitor for signal inconsistencies. Ensure the 3 VDC input signal from the governor controller is stable and free from ripple.
- Validation: Before engine start, perform a full-range actuator sweep to confirm mechanical travel limits and current signal linearity.

Tech & Buying Guide
Industrial Networking Essentials: Demystifying Hubs, Switches, and Routers in Control Systems
Industrial automation relies heavily on robust networking infrastructure to connect programmable logic controllers (PLCs), distributed control systems (DCS), and human-machine interfaces (HMIs). Modern factory automation environments generate vast amounts of real-time operational data across deterministic networks. Understanding the structural differences between hubs, switches, and routers ensures optimal traffic segmentation, minimizes latency, and maintains high network availability.
Safety Relays in Industrial Automation: Fundamentals, Design Standards, and Fail-Safe Architecture
Safety relays form the bedrock of functional safety in modern factory automation, preventing catastrophic equipment failure and protecting plant personnel. While standard electromechanical relays handle basic load switching, they lack the redundant diagnostics required for high-risk industrial environments. Modern industrial automation platforms—including programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and distributed control systems (DCS)—rely on specialized safety relays to monitor field devices and isolate hazards instantly.
Voice-Activated Industrial Automation: Integrating Speech Control into PLC and DCS Architectures
Industrial automation integrates speech recognition, IIoT protocols, and NLP with PLCs and DCS to streamline operations. By leveraging advanced edge computing, engineers enable real-time, hands-free control—allowing personnel to manage smart factory processes safely away from hazardous equipment.
