Woodward 8269-1073 17-inch Industrial Touch Panel PC

Woodward 8269-1073: 17-inch Industrial Touch Panel PC

The Woodward 8269-1073 is a high-performance, industrial-grade 17-inch Touch Panel PC specifically engineered to serve as the Human Machine Interface (HMI) for Woodward’s most advanced turbine control systems.

Predominantly used with the 5009XT and MicroNet TMR® platforms, this unit provides a rugged, high-resolution window into the turbine’s operations, allowing for real-time monitoring, configuration, and diagnostics in demanding industrial environments.

Technical Parameter Table

Product Advantages and Features

All-in-One Solution: Unlike a standard monitor, the 8269-1073 is a full industrial PC. It comes pre-configured with Woodward’s service tools, eliminating the need for complex field software installation.

Ruggedized for the Turbine Deck: Built with a high-durability touchscreen and industrial-grade internals, it can withstand the vibration, temperature fluctuations, and electromagnetic noise common in power plants.

RemoteView Integration: The unit serves as a dedicated Operator Control Panel (OCP). It mirrors the control logic of the 5009XT or 505XT, providing a graphical “Steam Map,” valve demand logic, and high-speed trending.

First-Out Indication: Dedicated screens for alarm and trip logs with 1-millisecond time-stamping help operators quickly identify the root cause of a turbine shutdown.

Multi-Lingual Support: The interface can be easily toggled between several languages, including English, Chinese, Portuguese, and Russian, to support global operations.

Unique Product Description

The Woodward 8269-1073 is the “Dashboard” of the turbine. While the 5009XT controller provides the triple-redundant logic “brain,” the 8269-1073 provides the human interface.

Its unique value lies in its Self-Configuring nature; when connected to a 5009XT system, it automatically extracts relevant parameters and displays only the screens required for that specific turbine setup.

It effectively turns a complex industrial computer into a simple, intuitive touch-interface that any operator can use to safely start, stop, or tune a multi-million dollar turbine.

Application Cases

Local Turbine Deck HMI: Mounted directly on a turbine skid to give field technicians immediate access to control setpoints and diagnostics.

Control Room Workstation: Functioning as the primary engineering workstation for monitoring a suite of turbines across a facility.

5009XT Retrofits: Used as the modern graphical upgrade for legacy 5009 or MicroNet systems that previously relied on text-based displays.

Marine Applications: Monitoring steam-driven propulsion turbines on large vessels where a rugged, vibration-resistant screen is mandatory.

Installation and Maintenance

Mounting: Ensure the panel cutout matches the specified dimensions to maintain its IP65 environmental seal. Use the provided mounting clips to secure the unit against the gasket.

Networking: Connect to the 5009XT or MicroNet controller via shielded Ethernet cables (Cat5e or better). It is recommended to use a dedicated network switch for control traffic.

Software Maintenance: The unit’s hard drive image is specifically tuned by Woodward. Avoid installing third-party office software or non-industrial applications to ensure maximum system stability.

Cleaning: Use only a soft, lint-free cloth with mild screen cleaner. Avoid harsh industrial solvents that could degrade the touch-sensitive surface.
