Product Introduction

The Woodward 9907-1200 is a CPC-II Current-to-Pressure Converter built to position single-acting steam turbine governor valves, converting a 4-20 mA pressure demand signal into a precise, stable hydraulic control pressure. This specific part number is the 10 bar, Zone 2 / Class I Division 2 simplex variant with enhanced dynamics.

It runs on 18-32 Vdc and mounts directly to a hydraulic adapter manifold, with a rotary 3-way hydraulic valve driven by a brushless limited-angle actuator. A built-in “silt buster” function periodically flushes contaminants from the valve without disturbing servo position, addressing oil contamination — one of the more common reliability issues on older current-to-pressure converters.

Troubleshooting Quick Reference

Symptom Possible Cause Relevance to this Part Quick Check Method Recommendation
No pressure output at all Power supply fault or return spring engaged (unpowered state) ✅ High Measure input voltage at power terminals (18-32 Vdc) Confirm power source before condemning the unit
Pressure output unstable or oscillating Dynamic gain settings (Primary Gain, Proportional/Integral Trim) mismatched to system ⚠️ Medium Review dynamic settings via PC Service Tool against downstream volume Retune before assuming hardware fault
Setpoint signal fault alarm Analog input wiring issue or signal out of range ✅ High Check setpoint signal at terminals against Service Tool reading Verify wiring and range settings before replacing
Redundant link fault (redundant models only) Communication wiring fault between paired units ⚠️ Medium Check Discrete Output 3 / Discrete Input 2 wiring between units Confirm redundant link wiring before replacing either unit
Slow or sluggish valve response Silt/debris buildup in the rotary hydraulic valve or supply pressure too low ❌ Low Check supply pressure and silt buster settings Adjust silt buster interval before assuming valve wear

Record the Part Number and Serial Number displayed on the PC Service Tool before contacting technical support — Woodward’s diagnostics reference these directly, and the detailed fault flash codes (LED) narrow down the issue faster than guesswork.

 

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I substitute this for a 25 bar CPC-II model?
No. This part number (9907-1200) is rated for 10 bar supply and control pressure. The 25 bar variants (9907-1197, 9907-1198) are separate part numbers with different pressure ratings — confirm your system’s pressure requirements before ordering.

Is this a simplex or redundant unit?
Simplex. If your application needs dual-redundant CPC-IIs, Woodward offers separate part numbers (9907-1253, 9907-1254) for that configuration, or the CPC-DX Dual Transfer Skid for a fully redundant mounted arrangement.

Do I need special tools to configure this after installation?
Yes — dynamic performance settings, redundancy configuration, and analog I/O scaling are all done through Woodward’s PC Service Tool over an RS-232 connection. This isn’t a plug-and-play swap; budget time for proper commissioning.

What happens if this unit loses power or detects a fault?
An internal return spring forces the hydraulic valve to connect control pressure to drain — a failsafe design that closes the turbine valve rather than leaving it in an unknown position.

Can I replace an older CPC or non-Woodward converter with this unit?
Woodward’s manual includes a dedicated chapter on replacing older CPCs and non-Woodward converters with the CPC-II, including adapter manifold guidance for units like Voith converters. Check that chapter before assuming a direct hydraulic fit.

Why is this priced below a factory-new quote?
If you’re seeing surplus pricing, confirm condition and testing history with your supplier — this is precision hydraulic-electronic equipment on a turbine control loop, and a poorly tested surplus unit is a bad place to cut corners. Ask for the part number and serial number so you can verify against Woodward’s records if needed.
