5464-444 Woodward speed control module

The 5464-444 is a microprocessor-based digital governor controller produced by Woodward, belonging to its classic 505 series.
It is primarily designed for speed control and protection of steam turbines. Below is a detailed introduction to this product:

I. Product Overview

Brand and Model: Woodward 5464-444
Series: 505 Series Digital Governor
Type: Microprocessor-based controller
Purpose: Specifically designed for steam turbines to control their speed and provide overspeed protection.

II. Core Functions

Speed Control:
- 5464-444 Precisely controls the speed of steam turbines by adjusting steam inlet flow.
- Supports single-range or split-range actuators to accommodate turbines of different sizes.
Overspeed Protection:
- Incorporates triple independent overspeed protection logic to ensure rapid shutdown in case of overspeed, preventing equipment damage.
- Provides an overspeed test button for convenient on-site testing of protection functions.
Emergency Shutdown:
- Equipped with an emergency stop button for immediate shutdown in emergency situations.
System Protection:
- - Automatically switches control modes upon sensor failure to ensure uninterrupted system operation.
  - Offers local/remote control priority selection to adapt to different operational scenarios.

When TFT is upgraded to high resolution

Let”s consider upgrading the resolution of the color TFT LCD from QVGA to VGA (640×480 pixels). As mentioned earlier, for a full-color QVGA panel,

the data size of one image is 230400 bytes. Similarly, for WVGA panels: 640x480x24 bits=307200×24 bits=921600 bytes. This means

that WVGA requires four times the data capacity of QVGA. Improving display resolution also increases the required memory capacity and processing requirements,

similar to the challenges faced when transitioning from monochrome to color.

In both cases, whether converting to color or upgrading to higher resolution, introducing an Epson LCD controller can achieve these enhancements

without replacing the existing CPU. This method effectively manages the increased demand for memory capacity and performance while utilizing the current hardware settings.

Types of Epson LCD controllers

SRAM integrated products

These products include built-in memory (up to 1024KB) and support LCD displays with resolutions up to WVGA (480×800).

External SDRAM integrated products

Products that support high-resolution displays up to XGA (1024×768) require external memory to operate.

Simple LCDC

This product line has the basic functions of LCDC and is designed specifically for low cost and low power consumption.
