Information

Overview Manuals Common Applications Product Precautions
The 5437-2131 is a spare module for the ProTech-GII safety and overspeed protection system, which safely shuts down gas, steam, and hydroelectric turbines upon sensing overspeed or overacceleration events.
    • Online Diagnostics & Hot-Swappable Module Maintenance
    • Triple Modular Redundant Architecture & 2-out-of-3 Voting
    • High-Precision Overspeed & Acceleration Protection
The ProTechTPS is a safety PLC (programmable logic controller) with integrated overspeed protection designed to safely shut down any plant process equipment, engine, or steam, gas, or hydro turbine upon sensing a safety event. This stand-alone safety device accepts 10 discrete or analog inputs per module (30 total) and one speed (MPU or PROX) input (3 total), uses custom-programmed logic to determine when a true safety event has occurred, then issues a shutdown command to safely shut down the equipment or turbine. The ProTechTPS utilizes a triple modular redundant architecture and 2-out-of-3 voting logic to accurately determine unsafe conditions and ensure that no single-point failure will affect system reliability or availability. With this design, system failures (switches, transducers, modules) are detected, annunciated, and allowed to be repaired or replaced while the monitored system continues to operate on-line.

Thermal Power
Serves as the core active emergency trip system for large main steam turbines in ultra-supercritical thermal power units, executing emergency actions within milliseconds during grid load rejection or control valve failures.

Nuclear Power
Deployed on conventional island high-power main steam turbine generator sets and extra-large secondary loop feedwater pumps outside the nuclear island, utilizing 2-out-of-3 redundant voting logic to ensure high reliability against nuisance trips.

Hydroelectric Power
Protects hydro-turbine generator units in large pumped-storage stations or dams, quickly responding to guide vane anomalies during sudden load shedding to prevent rotor destruction caused by hydro-turbine runaway.

Liquefied Natural Gas
Used for drive shaft speed monitoring of high-pressure cryogenic BOG compressors during LNG unloading and export processes, ensuring zero-spark operations through explosion-proof intrinsically safe designs.

Pulp & Paper
Deployed on steam turbines in captive power plants of paper mills and prime mover drive lines of high-pressure wood chippers, resisting field high-temperature and high-humidity environments to ensure continuous safety of uninterruptible power supply systems.

 When using the Woodward 5437-2131 (ProTechTPS safety protection module), you must strictly ensure that it is correctly inserted into its compatible motherboard chassis and verify the trip protection setpoints using specific configuration software such as Woodward Toolkit. During routine maintenance, never hot-swap or force-plug the module while the system is powered or running to prevent internal circuit boards from being damaged by surge currents. Additionally, you must maintain a safe clearance between speed sensor signal wires and high-power cables during routing, while also ensuring proper electromagnetic shielding of the industrial enclosure to completely eliminate nuisance trips caused by external electromagnetic radiation or grid interference.
