SSIG AND MI SERIES

CONTROL SYSTEMS
INTEGRATED ENGINE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS TO REDUCE
EMISSIONS IN PROPANE AND CNG ENGINES
Woodwards Stationary Small Industrial Gas (SSIG) and Mobile Industrial (MI) system
architectures are similar to On-Highway (OH) systems, but are intended for slightly different
market applications requirements. Although these systems are focused on small applications,
they are designed with the same attention to detail as the On-Highway systems.

SSIG CONTROL SYSTEMS

Woodwards SSIG (Stationary Small Industrial Gas) control system controls engines in generator
sets, irrigation and oil well pumps, and other stationary industrial equipment. It controls sparkignited engines fueled by LPG (vapor or liquid), natural gas or gasoline. The SSIG system
is suitable for engines ranging in size from 1 L to 22 L (18 kW to < 1 mW). The closed-loop
control system helps OEMs and packagers comply with New Source Performance Standards
(NSPS) implemented by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). These standards became
effective in 2008 for stationary spark-ignited engines. SSIG also helps meet requirements of the
National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP). SSIG provides accurate and
reliable performance control over the useful life of the engine in the extreme operating environments typical of heavy-duty, stationary industrial applications.

The SSIG system commands full authority over spark, fuel, and air. This integrated approach
permits precise steady-state speed governing for generator frequency control and air/fuel ratio
control for low fuel consumption and emissions at best torque. Continual updates to adaptive
parameters allow for fast response to rapid changes in load.

MI CONTROL SYSTEMS
Woodwards MI (Mobile Industrial) control system is an advanced engine management
system for propane and CNG engines in forklifts and other mobile industrial vehicles. The MI
is emissions certified on eight engines to the 2007 standards for Large Spark Ignited (LSI)
engines as established by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The emissions results are demonstrated to meet the 2010
emissions standards that are proposed by CARB.

The MI system provides closed-loop control of stoichiometric air-fuel ratio for accurate
application with three-way catalysts. Full authority control of an electronic throttle provides
a range of options for speed governing. With these capabilities, and the control of ignition
timing and dwell, the MI offers a system with 5000-hour or 5-year emissions compliance. The
components and ECU are designed for on-engine and under-hood mounting. The system
offers capability for both single and dual fuel on engines with up to eight cylinders.

COMPONENTS FOR BOTH SSIG AND MI SYSTEMS INCLUDE:

Electronic control module

Electric fuel lock off solenoid valve
Fuel pressure regulator
Fuel trim valves
Fixed venturi mixer assembly or air valve mixer
Electronic throttle assembly
Oxygen sensors
Integrated temperature and manifold pressure sensor
Smart ignition coils

APECS SERIES
GOVERNING SYSTEMS
DIESEL EMISSIONS CONTROL, CAN COMMUNICATIONS, AND
ENGINE PROTECTION ARE ALL POSSIBLE WITH THE APECS
FAMILY OF ELECTRONIC CONTROLLERS.
Woodwards Advanced Proportional Engine Control Systems (APECS) provides isochronous or
multi-speed engine governing through a wide speed range. The complete system consists of a
powerful microprocessor-based controller driving a precision proportional actuator. The actuator
is connected to the engines throttle or fuel pump speed lever to precisely control engine speed
for off-road light utility vehicles or construction equipment, stationary and mobile generator sets,
construction machinery, and farm vehicles.

Linear Actuator

APECS CONTROLLERS

APECS ACTUATORS

The APECS controllers combine a digital electronic controller with a rotary or linear actuator to
provide speed control of engines under 75 hp (56 kW). The controller provides accurate, reliable,
and durable control over the service life of the engine in extreme operating environments.

Woodwards APECS linear and rotary actuators provide proportional fuel control for
construction, industrial, and agricultural equipment, forming the foundation of full electronic governing systems. These actuators are suitable for speed governing on generator sets,
forklifts, pump sets, wood chippers, pleasure boats, and many types of off-road vehicles.

These digital controllers provide isochronous speed control, with the ability to be influenced
by other engine or operational parameters to trim the engines speed. Some models offer
actuator position control, torque limiting, droop, glow plug control, CAN J1939-based
communications, and additional engine management and protection functions to optimize
engine operating efficiency.
APECS controllers are readily configured using the APECS software calibration tool, helping
to prevent field tampering of control settings, and all include diagnostics to make setup and
troubleshooting easier. A worldwide network of sales and support make answering your
operational questions easier and more convenient.

The actuators are easily mounted near the fuel system and direct-connected to the fuel
control rod or lever. In most installations, the normal rotary-to-rotary connection is eliminated, resulting in a more trouble-free and accurate control system.
Whatever your force, travel, terminal connection, or mounting requirements, youll find
a Woodward actuator to meet your needs. Or, we can custom design one for your exact
specifications.

L- AND F-SERIES
INTEGRATED SYSTEMS
> L-SERIES
Integrated Throttle Body

L-SERIES

F-SERIES

The L-Series family of products provides a low-cost, precise, and reliable solution for a multitude
of control functions. The L-Series is a rugged, engine-mounted, microprocessor-based controller
with integrated actuator in one small package. Most applications use the L-series as part of an
Integrated Throttle Body (ITB) which comes in five sizes from 25 to 50 mm, but it also comes
with a straight output shaft that can be attached to a linkage or directly to a throttle plate. It
has 0.34 N-m (0.25 lb-ft) of output torque with internal position feedback for fast, accurate
control in small- to medium-sized engine applications.

The L-Series is adaptable for specific engine applications and parameters through standard software
programs that are easily configured. It can be used as a speed control (governor), a positioner
(actuator) that receives a position command signal from another controller, or as a process
controller, the same as a governor, to maintain control of a specific parameter like oxygen level in
engine exhaust. The speed controller version is also used with an integrated throttle body and fuel
mixer assembly called an LC-50, again available in five different throat sizes.

The F-Series is the big brother to the L-Series with the same advantages and attributes as
the L-Series, including rugged, engine-mounted construction. It has 1.4 N-m (1.0 lb-ft) of
output torque with internal position feedback for fast, accurate control in medium-sized
engine applications in industrial and off-highway service and receives a position command
from another controller.

L-SERIES

Integrated Throttle Body

and Actuator

Position control application examples can include fuel rack positioning, throttle valve
positioning, wastegate valve positioning, as well as other engine position control functions. The
F-Series ITB is designed to throttle air or air/fuel mixtures for gaseous engines. It is designed for
the direct replacement of traditional throttle valves, and requires no linkage between valve and
actuator. The ITB contains a return spring to fully comply with US DOT 571.124 specifications.
The five offered sizes range from 33 mm to 75 mm, providing a size that can meet most
applications. The F-Series ITB is also available in a high-temperature version.

Dual Coil Solenoid

SOLENOIDS

FEATURES

From operating engine run/stop levers, throttles, chokes, valves, and clutches to protecting
expensive diesel engines from overspeed, low lube pressure, and high temperature, you can
rely on Woodward solenoids to meet the ever-changing technical demands of modern industry.
Woodwards extensive line of solenoid protection products features either external or internal
electronics. Coil Commanders and pull coil timer modules (PCTMs) are externally attached
to the solenoid to prevent overheating of the pull coil. ICE (Integrated Coil Electronics) and AICE
(Advanced ICE) solenoids have built-in electronics that prevent overheating of the pull coil.
Dual-coil solenoids are constructed of two wound coils. The pull coil operates at high currents
in order to provide maximum pull or push force. The hold coil retains the plunger in place
after it has completed its stroke. After energizing, the pull coil must be turned off as soon as
possible to prevent burnout. The protection modules energize the solenoid pull coil for
approximately one second.
