INTEGRATED
SYSTEM APPROACH
Woodward designs its line of steam
turbine control products to be easily
integrated together, simplifying
system design and assuring unit-to-
unit compatibility. This integrated
approach reduces installation costs
and allows customers to scale their
system components to meet the
requirements of small, medium, or
large steam turbine applications.
FIELD PROVEN SIMPLE INTERFACING
With over 40,000 steam turbine controllers installed worldwide, As petrochemical and power plants continue to grow in size and
Woodward’s control systems have been proven to stand up to complexity, steam turbine operators have found that they cannot be
harsh steam turbine environments, as well as meet the rigorous experts on every system, including the steam turbine controller. For
control requirements of steam turbine OEMs and users. this reason, Woodward has put extra focus on ensuring that our user
interfaces are simple to understand and use.
Robust product designs are leveraged to ensure long-term
operation, no matter what the environment or application. Our goal is to make the controller’s user interface start, stop, and
troubleshoot their turbine without opening a product manual.

CONTINUOUS INNOVATION
Woodward released its popular 505 steam turbine controller in 1985
which now has become the industry standard in steam turbine control.
This standard off-the-shelf controller was purpose-built for small- to
medium-size steam turbines driving generators, pumps or compressors.
The latest 505 controller models contain many new features that
improve reliability and performance including:
