as peter said:

it senses the speed ( via a magnetic pick up sensor)

and governs it (thru an actuator) , it is usually a small linear motor who acts on the fuel injection pump

to a preset level , ( the rated RPM of the gen set )

perhaps if you was to give us more information about the dg in question we could elaborate a little.
