Description
WOODWARD
P/N: 8272-583
APM MOTOR CONTROL
INPUT: DC24V
The Woodward 8272-583 is an APM Motor Control unit designed to regulate and manage motor-driven functions within marine automation and control systems. Operating on a 24V DC input, this controller provides reliable command and response capability for motor operations typically found across a vessel’s machinery control infrastructure. As a core component of a Marine Control System, it plays an essential role in maintaining precise operational control and system stability under the demanding conditions of shipboard environments.
Key Features
✓ APM Motor Control function delivering regulated management of motor-driven outputs within automated marine systems.
✓ Confirmed input voltage of 24V DC; all further electrical ratings and response characteristics are subject to confirmation against the specific installation configuration.
✓ Engineered for integration within Woodward control architectures; compatibility with specific panels, governors, or controllers should be verified against the vessel’s system documentation.
✓ Suitable for installation in machinery control rooms and automation panels typical of marine environments; mounting requirements depend on the host system configuration.
✓ Serves as a direct replacement component for maintenance and repair of existing Woodward APM-based control installations, supporting continuity of onboard automation.
Marine Applications
✓ Cargo vessels and bulk carriers utilising Woodward-based automation for machinery and auxiliary motor control.
✓ Offshore support vessels and platform supply vessels where precise motor management is integral to deck and engine room operations.
✓ Tankers and chemical carriers requiring reliable automated control of pump motors and associated auxiliary systems.
✓ Passenger ferries and ro-ro vessels where stable motor control contributes to safe and efficient manoeuvring and auxiliary operations.
✓ Dredgers, tugs, and specialist workboats employing Woodward control systems for hydraulic or propulsion-related motor management.
