The Woodward DVP (Digital Valve Positioner) is the state-of-the-art driver for electric actuation of Woodward valves and actuators. Featuring plug-and-play auto-detection via ID modules built into newer valves, the DVP automatically reads critical valve-specific information for rapid setup. It supports redundant installations and accepts multiple input types for compatibility with a wide range of turbine controllers.
