Digital communication interface: The Woodward A8516-040 features an interface for digital communication, such as CAN bus or RS-485. This enables easy integration with industrial control networks and provides remote monitoring and control of the power supply. Operators have real-time information of the power supply status, including Output voltage, current and temperature, and fault information and can adjust parameters if required.

Adaptive Voltage Trim: Woodward A8516-040 incorporates comprehensive protection mechanisms. The output voltage also can be adjusted automatically in a certain range according to load requirements as well as the characteristics of connected devices. 

Provenrne and Under-Voltage Protection: Woodward A8516-040 combines with powerful protection methods. In case a high or low voltage is measured in the input or output it is cut off in time to save the connected apparatus from burning. It can then restart automatically, and resume normal operation whenever the voltage returns to the normal range.

Intelligent Monitoring and Control： Woodward A8516-040 have the digital communication interface and adaptive voltage trim function, so these provide intelligent monitoring and control. This enables proactive maintenance, energy optimization, and improved alignment with comprehensive industrial automation strategies.
