DIGITAL PROGRAMMABLE CONTROLLER
FOR EFC VALVES
SPEED CONTROLLER,
CUMMINS EFC ENGINES
REV.D
The Woodward DPG-2401-002 is a digital programmable governor controller engineered specifically for use with Electronic Flow Control (EFC) valves on Cummins EFC engines. As a precision speed control device within the broader Marine Control System category, it manages engine speed regulation by interfacing directly with the EFC valve, ensuring stable and responsive performance under varying load conditions. Reliable governor control is essential to safe propulsion and auxiliary engine management aboard commercial and working vessels, making this controller a critical component in maintaining operational continuity.
Key Features
✓ Digital programmable architecture allows configuration of speed control parameters to suit specific engine and valve setups, with exact settings subject to confirmation based on application.
✓ Designed for compatibility with Cummins EFC engines and their associated Electronic Flow Control valve systems; cross-compatibility with other configurations should be verified prior to installation.
✓ Revision D designation indicates an updated release of the controller, incorporating refinements over earlier hardware versions — consult Woodward documentation for revision-specific changes.
✓ Intended for installation within engine control enclosures or machinery space panels typical of marine diesel generator and main engine governor systems; mounting configuration depends on the specific vessel arrangement.
✓ As a direct replacement or service part, the DPG-2401-002 supports continuity of engine speed governance, minimising downtime during scheduled maintenance or unplanned component failure.
Marine Applications
✓ Main engine and auxiliary diesel generator speed control on commercial cargo vessels, tankers, and bulk carriers utilising Cummins EFC engine platforms.
✓ Offshore support vessels and platform supply vessels where reliable governor response is critical to dynamic positioning and power management systems.
✓ Fishing vessels and workboats equipped with Cummins EFC engines requiring stable speed regulation across variable load profiles.
✓ Ferry and ro-ro vessel auxiliary engine rooms where consistent governor performance underpins electrical power generation and hotel load management.
✓ Inland waterway and coastal trading vessels operating Cummins EFC-governed propulsion or genset configurations in demanding service cycles.
