The Woodward ProAct P-Series FL Position Controller is a family of electric actuators with integral digital drivers, designed for on-engine mounting to control fuel rack positioning, timing, throttle valves, wastegates, and other functions. The actuator accepts position commands from a supervisory engine control and provides redundant command input failover with comprehensive diagnostics.
