What is the primary benefit of the digital architecture?
Software-configurable PID dynamics allow fine-tuning to the engine or turbine’s inertia and response characteristics, reducing speed “hunting” and improving transient response.
Does the 8408-005 provide overspeed protection?
Yes. Integrated overspeed logic can automatically shut down fuel delivery or actuate a trip valve if rotational speed exceeds safety thresholds, adding a redundant safety layer.
