DYNA Controllers
GENERAL
The controllers for the DYNA governor series are all solid state
design that measures three parameters to provide precise
engine control. Separate circuits measure the proportional
(amount of offspeed), integral (time of offspeed) and derivative
(rate of change of offspeed) values. These three circuits pro-
vide control that results in fast, stable engine response to
offspeed changes and precise speed regulation.
FAILSAFE
To provide a governing system, these controllers must be used
with one of the following DYNA actuators. The actuator speci- The DYNA Governor has two failsafe modes: 1 ) If d-c power to
