DYNA1 Controllers

DYNA controllers are available for engine governing for speed and power control of piston and gas turbine engines where the fuel is controlled by the governor’s output shaft. The controllers are also applicable for controlling steam and water turbines.

The controller ers for the DYNA governor series are all solid state design that measure three parameters to provide precise engine control. The proportional (amount of offspeed), integral (time of offspeed) and derivative (rate of change of offset) values. These three provide control that results in fast, stable engine response to offspeed changes and precise speed regulation. 

The DYNA governor requires a frequency signal to read engine speed. Typically, from a magnetic pickup on the flywheel. However, many other techniques may be used to obtain a speed reference signal.

The DYNA governors have two failsafe modes:

• DC power to the governor is interrupted; or
• If the speed reference signal is lost;

the output shaft returns to the minimum fuel position.

To provide a functioning governing system these controllers must be used with one of the DYNA actuators.
