2. ESD PROTECTION AND HANDLING

!
CAUTION
All electronic equipment is static-sensitive, some components more than others. To protect
these components from static damage, you must take special precautions to minimize or
eliminate electrostatic discharges.

Follow these precautions when working with or near the control.

1. Before doing maintenance on the electronic control, discharge the static


electricity on your body to ground by touching and holding a grounded metal
object (pipes, cabinets, equipment, etc.).

2. Avoid the build-up of static electricity on your body by not wearing clothing made
of synthetic materials. Wear cotton or cotton-blend materials as much as possible
because these do not store static electric charges as much as synthetics.

3. Keep plastic, vinyl, and styrofoam materials (such as plastic or styrofoam cups,
cup holders, cigarette packages, cellophane wrappers, vinyl books or folders,
plastic bottles, and plastic ash trays) away from the control, the modules, and the
work area as much as possible.

4. Do not remove the printed circuit board from the control cabinet unless absolutely
necessary. If you must remove the printed circuit board from the control cabinet,
follow these precautions:

- Do not touch any part of the printed circuit board except the edges.

- Do not touch the electrical conductors, the connectors, or the components


with conductive devices or with your hands.

- When replacing a printed circuit board, keep the new board in the plastic
antistatic protective bag it comes in until you are ready to install it.
Immediately after removing the old board from the control cabinet, place it in
the antistatic protective bag.

3.2 Mechanical or Ballhead Backup Speed Control

The engine speed governing system comprises an electronic speed control (723plus)
giving a fuel demand value to the EG section of the PGA-EG fuel governor. If the EG or
its associated equipment fails then speed control is via the ballhead backup control with
manual speed setting on the PGA-EG fuel governor. Once under ballhead PGA control it
is possible to select pneumatic speed setting, which will take the telegraph as its
reference whereby the engine speed can be controlled from the telegraph.

Normal operation 723PLUS controlling fuel demand speed setting from bridge telegraph.
If 723PLUS fails the switch over-relay will de-energise and the PGA-EG58 will be under
ballhead speed control, Which will be minimum speed. The operator has to investigate the
reason why the engine has switched over to ballhead, he can then if he wishes select
pneumatic speed control which takes its speed setting from bridge telegraph whilst LECP is
selected for Remote.
If 723PLUS and I to P converter or air fails the PGA-EG58 will be under ballhead backup, Electronic fuel demand
speed control will be via the knob on the governor. Reverse Acting

The engine speed is set by via the Telegraph on the Bridge which has two 4-20 mA senders
either sender selectable at the bridge, the 4-20mA signal goes to the LECP to provide the
speed setting reference for the Electronic control (AUTO Mode) this is the normal mode of
operation.

In the event of a 723 plus control failure or both MPUs have failed the switchover relay is de-
energised and the speed setting to the speed bellows on the PGA-EG will be switched to
minimum. This will set the ballhead to minimum speed and thus the engine will reduce its
speed to minimum, the engine speed can then be adjusted manually using the speed setting
knobs on the governor itself. Engine alarms will be raised on the bridge to inform the
operators that there is a fault.

The operator has to inspect the engine to see why the control has switched to ballhead and
if satisfied that it is safe and that the telegraph has been set to minimum speed setting he
can switch over to MECH mode within the LECP itself. This will select pneumatic speed
setting of the ballhead, which will take the telegraph as the speed reference.

When the switchover relay has been de-energised due to a 723plus fault (watchdog), on
power up of the control or mechanical selected the switchover relay can only be energised
(Reset) when the engine has been stopped for a predetermined amount of time (i.e.
rundown timer has expired) and reset button is pressed.

Manual B36172.NEW System Description

3.3 723plus Engine Speed Control

3.3.1 Engine Speed Detection

3.3.1.1 Speed Sensing

The control has two speed sensing inputs, and may be configured for torsional filtering,
for smoother operation with soft couplings, or high signal select, giving speed sensing
redundancy should one signal fail. If the torsional filter has been selected, the speed
sensors should be positioned on either side of the coupling; sensor #1 on the engine
side, and sensor #2 on the reduction gear side. If the high signal select is utilised, then
both speed-sensing devices should be located on the same speed-sensing disc.

Each speed sensor input has a failed speed detection device, with an override function,
which is active during engine start-up. The Alarm #1 and Alarm #2 LEDs located on the
723plus control, give indication when either input has failed, (LED #1 - Sensor #1, LED
#2 - Sensor #2). Speed sensor #2 failure detection is overridden until the clutch is closed,
and the SS#2 Fault Ovrd Dly period has elapsed.

Whilst the clutch is disengaged, speed sensor #2 is ignored, and only speed sensor #1 is
utilised for speed control. Failure of speed sensor #1 whilst the clutch is disengaged, will
cause the control to transfer speed control over to ballhead, and the Major Alarm
Governor Fault will be activated (relay output #1).
Once the clutch is engaged, speed sensor #2 is switched in, either for torsional filtering,
or for high signal selection. When the clutch engaged signal input is received, if the
torsional filter is selected, after the Clutch Delay period has expired, the torsional filter will
be enabled.

If the torsional filter is enabled, failure of either speed sensor will result in the activation of
the Minor Alarm, and control will continue with one speed signal. The PropGain Multiplier
will be switched in to decrease the Proportional Gain value. If high signal select is
chosen, failure of a speed sensor will also give continued control with one speed signal,
and the Alarm Governor Fault will be activated.

Failure of both speed sensors will initiate a watchdog trip, whereby the control will switch
the speed control over to the mechanical governor.

To re-establish electronic control once the system has switched over to mechanical
control, having first corrected the fault with the speed pickups, it will be necessary to stop
the engine, and then initiate a start sequence.

!
WARNING
If the engine has been switched to mechanical control by the 723plus
control due to both speed sensors failing, the engine will have to be
shutdown the faults located and rectified prior to starting the engine again.
Failure of the pickups can only be detected whilst the engine is running, i.e.
the signal must already exist for the failure detection to operate. If the
723plus cannot detect engine speed during start-up, the actuator output will
go to maximum, possibly driving the engine into an overspeed condition.

3.3.1.2 Overspeed Protection

The control may be configured to shut the engine down, when an overspeed is detected
(Overspeed Trip level exceeded), or to enable a pulse to decrease the actuator level, in
order to help force the engine below the trip level;

When the engine speed exceeds the Overspeed Trip level, the control will force the
actuator output to a level determined by the Actuator Dec Level, in order to help bring the
engine speed down. The actuator is forced to this level until the engine speed falls below

Woodward 3-3
System Description Manual B36172.NEW

the Overspeed Trip level, and then for a further period determined by the Actuator Dec
Pulse. Each time an overspeed occurs, it is counted, and once the counter reaches the
Overspeed Count level, the engine will be shutdown. The overspeed counter is reset to
zero each time the engine is stopped, or after the Reset Ospd Delay period has expired,
after the first overspeed is counted, whichever occurs sooner.

If the Overspeed Count parameter is set to 1, the engine will be shutdown the first time
an overspeed is detected.

!
WARNING
The engine must be equipped with an additional overspeed shutdown device, that
operates totally independently of this control, to protect against runaway or
damage to the engine, with possible personal injury or loss of life, should this
control fail.

3.3.1.3 Speed Filtering

If enabled, the torsional filter can be used to help prevent the control from reacting to
torsionals across a flexible coupling. This works by averaging out the speed sensing
signals from either side of the coupling, although this can be weighted more heavily to
one side than the other, by adjusting the Sensor Weight.

For systems with low frequency oscillatory modes due to engine and system inertias, and
flexible couplings, which can become difficult to control, three Notch/Band-Stop Filters
are provided. These filters can reduce the signal transmission through the control, by
reducing the signal gain at the resonant frequency, and hence preventing the control from
reacting to these unwanted frequencies.

There is one filter on each of the two speed sensor inputs, and then a third on the output
from the torsional filter/high signal select bus, before the engine speed signal reaches the
PID controller.

3.3.2 Speed Control

3.3.2.1 Engine Start

When the Start contact is selected to run, and the start fuel limit has been reached the
speed reference will ramp to the Idle Speed. The reference will remain at idle, until
commanded by the digital raise/lower commands or the analogue speed demand.

- If digital mode is selected, the speed reference will remain at Idle Speed, until an
increase/decrease command is given. Digital commands are operable irrespective
of the clutch being engaged or disengaged.
Closing the Increase contact will raise the speed reference towards the Maximum
Speed at the Ramp Rate, and closing the Decrease contact will lower the speed
towards the Minimum Speed at the Ramp Rate.
- If analogue mode is selected, provided the clutch is closed the speed reference will
ramp to the speed determined by the 4-20mA Analogue Speed Setting input, at
the Acceleration Rate. Further speed adjustments can then be made by increasing
or decreasing the Analogue Speed Setting, and the reference will alter at the
Ramp Rate.
- If idle speed is selected, the speed reference will ramp down to the idle Speed, at
the deceleration Rate. If idle is selected due to an alarm, it will stay at idle until the
alarm is de-activated and the reset button is actioned, if however idle is requested
from ISIS then the control will hold the idle reference whilst the selection from ISIS
is held.

Note the switch between Analogue to Digital will be bumpless i.e. the speed reference will
not alter until raise or lower commands are given, however the switch between Digital to

3-4 Woodward
Manual B36172.NEW System Description

Analogue is not bumpless the speed reference will be ramped to whatever the Analogue
setting is at.

A second set of ramp rates can be switched in when the command Ramp Rate Select is
given.

Ramp rate Set 1:


From 330 to 550 rpm set to take 20 seconds.
From 550 to 1030 rpm set to take 40 seconds.
Ramp down from 1030 to 330 rpm to be set to take 15 seconds.

Ramp rate Set 2:


From 330 to 550 rpm set to take 40 seconds.
From 550 to 1030 rpm set to take 80 seconds.
Ramp down from 1030 to 330 rpm to be set to take 15 seconds.

Both sets of ramp rates 1 and 2 are fully tuneable.

There will be two barred speed ranges (irrespective of the clutch being opened or closed)
both with fully adjustable setpoints and bandwidth they will be set initially as follows:
- Barred range 1: 350rpm low limit and 360rpm high limit.
- Barred range 2: 750rpm low limit and 760rpm high limit.

If the speed setting selects a speed within a barred speed range and the engine is
ramping up then the engine will run at the lower range value, if currently ramping down
the engine will stay at the upper range value.

3.3.2.2 Droop Control

To operate in Droop mode the clutch must be closed.

The speed droop value is calculated based on the Droop percentage, and the load on the
engine. The engine load will be derived from the position of the actuator output.

If in digital speed setting mode, closure of the Increase contact will cause the speed
reference to increase at the Inc/Dec Rate #2, therefore causing the engine to increase
speed.

Closure of the Decrease contact will cause the speed reference to decrease at the
Inc/Dec Rate #2, therefore causing the engine to decrease speed.

If in analogue speed setting mode, increasing the 4-20mA Analogue Speed Reference
input will cause the engine to increase speed, and decreasing the input will cause the
engine to decrease speed. The reference will alter at Analogue Rate #2.

3.3.3 Limiters and Load Rejection

The following fuel limiters are fed into a Low Signal Select bus, the output of which serves
to limit the actuator, should the PID output increase to that level.

3.3.3.1 Start and Maximum Fuel Limiter

The Start Fuel Limit, for limiting overfuelling or flooding during engine start-up is active
when the engine is started. This limit is derived from a four-point curve, to give flexibility
of the limiting level at different engines speeds, as the engine is started.

When the PID takes control, the Start Fuel Limit is switched out until the engine is
stopped, and the Maximum Fuel Limit is switched in.

Woodward 3-5
System Description Manual B36172.NEW

3.3.3.2 Charge Air Pressure Fuel Limiter

A four-point curve provides fuel limiting based on the 4-20mA Charge Air Pressure input
signal. This limiter is only active once the Clutch Engaged contact is closed, and the
Enable Lim Delay period has expired.

3.3.3.3 Torque Fuel Limiter

A four-point curve provides fuel limiting based on the engine speed signal. This limiter is
only active once the Clutch Engaged contact is closed.

3.3.4 PID Control and Actuator Output

3.3.4.1 Speed/Droop Control

The output has tuneable PID dynamics, a Gain Multiplier slope function (which adjusts
Proportional Gain as the engine load changes), and a Gain Ratio function (which
multiplies the Proportional Gain as the speed error becomes too high).

Two sets of dynamics (Proportional Gain, Integral Gain and S.D.R) are provided:
- Set #1 is active when the Clutch is disengaged.
- Set #2 is active when the Clutch is engaged.

The Gain Multiplier slope operates only with Set #2. When the torsional filter is
operational, if one of the speed sensors should fail, the slope function is switched out and
replaced with the simpler Gain 2 Multiplier, for decreasing the Proportional Gain value.

3.3.4.2 Actuator Hit

An Actuator Hit function is provided for testing the dynamics of the control during
commissioning of the system. This function can be enabled in Configure mode, and once
the control has reset itself, the function is only available for a 30-minute period. When the
appropriate parameter is toggled true using the Operator Interface (HHT or PC-based), a
tuneable value is subtracted from the actuator output, for a tuneable period of time. This
will enable the operator to check that the dynamic settings are suitable. This is a better
alternative to physically disturbing the fuel rack to check the response of an engine, as it
will provide a consistent means of test.

3.4 Safety and Alarm Functions

3.4.1 Safety

Detection of an abnormal condition in the Engine, by the 723plus, will cause an engine
alarm and in some cases a shutdown.

Faults can originate from engine problems which are detected either by Digital or
Analogue inputs to the 723plus. Alternatively, faults can be detected in the 723plus
hardware or Sensors. The alarms are grouped as follows:
- Engine Shutdowns
- Watchdog Alarm
- Engine Alarms
- Analogue Sensor faults
- Hardware Faults

In the event the control detecting any abnormal function the appropriate the common
alarm relay Governor Fault Alarm to the ISIS will be de-energised. All alarms can be
viewed on the Alarm and Status Display mounted on the cabinet door, or alternatively via
the HandHeld Programmer.

3-6 Woodward
Manual B36172.NEW System Description

3.4.2 Shutdowns

Any of the following shutdown inputs will cause a shutdown:


- Mechanical Overspeed (independent to 723 DCS detected overspeed)
- Lub Oil Pressure Low (Less than 10psi+T1 delay and engine speed >300rpm
+Startup Delay)
- Lub Oil Pressure Low (Less than 30psi + T2 delay and engine speed >350rpm)
- Jacket Water Temperature High (95DegC) switch
- Gearbox Control Oil Pressure Low SD (engine speed >300rpm + Clutch Closed +
T3 Delay)
- Emergency Shutdown Command from Bridge
2
- CO Stop
- Overspeed or both speed pickups failed.

When a shutdown condition occurs the actuator output will be driven to zero fuel demand
an output will be given to open the clutch and energise the shutdown solenoid.

!
WARNING
The Woodward Control System must never be relied on as the only overspeed
protection for the engine, a completely independent system to the Woodward
system must always be operative.

Emergency Stop Alarm Indications:


The emergency stop shutdowns are grouped into alarm indications to the ISIS. The
relays are normally energised for healthy and de-energised on shutdown. Following are
the relay alarms:
- Low Lub Oil Pressure (Pressure less than 10 or 30)
- Low Gearbox Control Oil Pressure (SD or Idle)
- High Water Temperature Shutdown
- Overspeed (Mechanical or 723plus detected)
- Low Gearbox Control Oil Pressure (SD or Idle)

3.4.3 Watchdog

The watchdog relay (K11, Electronic Speed Control) is a normally energised relay that is
de-energised if any of the following events occur:
- 723plus control fault, this fault can be due to power supply loss, failure of the
control itself etc.
- Manual Speed control selected in the panel (note this must only be done if the
telegraph is at minimum speed setting) or MPU fault in this case the 723Plus
detected alarms and shutdowns will function as normal.

In the event of a watchdog detected fault due to a 723plus control failure all outputs
(actuator and relay) will be de-energised. Engine speed control will be switched over to
the mechanical governor to maintain engine speed however there will be no protection
from the 723plus detected alarms or shutdowns, the stop, emergency stop buttons and
2
CO stop being hardwired directly to the stop solenoid will still be operable as long as the
24Vdc supply is still available.

The watchdog can only be reset (energised) when the 723plus is healthy, the engine has
been stopped for a predetermined amount of time (i.e. rundown timer has expired) and
reset button is pressed.

3.4.4 Engine Alarms

Engine alarms can be broken-down in to the following categories:


- Digital derived alarms
- Pressures above or below setpoints
- Temperatures above or below setpoints
- Control function feedback status incorrect

Woodward 3-7
System Description Manual B36172.NEW

3.4.5 Sensor Faults

Sensor faults can arise from any analogue device:


- Engine Speed Sensor signals
- 4-20mA signals

If, whilst the clutch is closed the telegraph is providing the speed setting, the telegraph sensor
fails, the engine control will go to idle speed and an alarm will be raised.

3.4.6 Hardware Faults

723plus Control unit fault


LinkNet Modules Fault

3.4.7 Resetting of Alarms

Will be via the reset push-button on the LECP.

3.5 Start and Stop Control Functions

3.5.1 Start

When the Local Engine Control Panel (LECP) is selected to remote, engine starting is to
be initiated on receipt of a push-button signal from the bridge. When the LECP is selected
to local, engine starting is via a push-button on the front of the panel.

The following start blocks must be removed before the 723plus can energise the air start
solenoid. When the engine is stationary and the start sequence is not blocked then the
Set Available Relay is energised. The engine start sequence can then be started by
issuing the start command:

Start Block
Lub Oil Priming flow Low*
Any Emergency Shutdown Active
Clutch Engaged

Rundown Time Has Not Expired.

*Priming Pump
The engine should only be started if the Lub oil flow is established, and has been healthy
for a minimum of 5 minutes in the preceding 15 minutes, or if the engine has been
running in the last 15 minutes.

If the engine has been stopped for a predefined time and priming flow low is indicated
then Fail to Prime relay output will be de-energised.

Start Sequence
If a start block does not exist, when a Start command is issued the following sequence of
events will happen:
Fuel shutoff solenoid is de-energised
Open Clutch one shot pulse command

When engine speed has exceeded 150rpm
- Vent Fan 1 Relay energised

In the event of an electronic governor fault and the clutch is energised then the aux 1 relay
output will be maintained.

If no start blocks are present then the air start solenoid is energised for a cranking time,
the solenoid is de-energised before the cranking time expires if the engine speed reaches
150 rpm.

If the engine has not started within the cranking time (tuneable value) the Fail To Start
relay is energised - alarm will be initiated, and the start sequence is aborted.

3.5.2 Stop

The stop button on the LECP, or the Bridge are operable at all times irrespective of the
position of the local/remote selector switch on the LECP.

If a stop command is issued whilst in the starting sequence or when the engine is running
a shutdown sequence will be initiated. The following sequence of events will take place:
- Shutdown Solenoid Activated
- Open Clutch
- Engine Stop Initiated

Shutdown Solenoid Activated


Energise the shutdown solenoid.

Open Clutch
Issue a Disengage Clutch command 0.5 seconds (tuneable) after stop command given.

Engine Stop Initiated


When the Engine Speed falls below 150 rpm, the following outputs will be energised or
de-energised:
Aux 1 Output de-energised
Priming Pump
Jacket water circulation pump
Jacket water heater
Fuel Shutoff Solenoid energised

When the Engine Speed falls below 150 rpm, the following output will be de-energised:
Vent Fan 1 De-energised

3.5.3 Intercooler Valve Position

PID Control
The intercooler valve position is under PID control with overrides for various scenarios,
the PID control with menu adjustable control parameters will be based on the highest
input between Jacket Water temperature and Charge Air temperature.

The Jacket Water temperature range from the 4-20mA sensor will be 80 - 90 C this will
be scaled to give 0 - 100, and the Charge Air temperature range from the 4-20mA sensor
will be 75 to 85 C this will be scaled to give 0 - 100. This will allow the two signals to
operate on the same scale against the PID setpoint which will also be scaled the same 0
to 100 %.

The PID will operate on the error between the setpoint and the highest value of the
charge air and the jacket water temperatures, if the error is positive i.e. setpoint is greater
than the highest value then the PID will drive the output towards 20mA, if the error is

Woodward 3-9
System Description Manual B36172.NEW

minus i.e. the setpoint is less than the highest value then the PID will drive the output
towards 4mA.

The relay output Analogue Inp Failure will be de-energised if one of the input transducer
fails.

PID control overrides


Valve output signal should always be 20mA when:
- The engine speed is stationary,

Valve output signal should always be 4mA when:


- The engine speed exceeds X rpm (nominally 750rpm tuneable) with the clutch
engaged.
- The boost exceeds X% (nominally 5% tuneable)

Intercooler Heater
The Intercooler Heater relay is energised when the engine is stationary (regardless of the
temperature input signals), and the relay is de-energised as the Intercooler Valve position
output is reduced below 20mA.

3.5.4 Clutch Control

The clutch control commands from the steering gear are fed from a 24Vdc local to the
steering gear and as such interposing relays will be used within the 723plus cabinet to
keep isolation between the steering gear commands and the 723plus circuits.

Clutch Inhibit
The clutch inhibit relay is normally de-energised, if the engine speed is greater than
400rpm (tuneable) the relay will be energised, which will inhibit the clutch from being
closed.

Engage Clutch:
When the engage clutch command is given and there is no clutch Inhibit (N/C of the
Relay de-energised) then a relay will be energised issuing the command to the gearbox
clutch. In the event of the 723plus being out of operation the clutch inhibit will not inhibit
the clutch from being closed if an engage clutch command is given.

When the input engage clutch is closed the N/O output cathodic monitoring- clutch
engaged will be closed.

Disengage Clutch
The disengage clutch command is given either during the stop sequence or when the
disengage clutch command is given then a relay will be energised issuing the command
to open the gearbox clutch.

When the clutch is disengaged the 723plus control will operate on speed dynamics 1, and
when the clutch is closed dynamics 2 are used.

Engineer Override
This is used to enable the Bridge telegraph to set the engine speed reference demand
when the clutch is open. When the Engineer Override command is activated a block is
put on to stop clutch from being engaged and the controller is set to dynamics two
indicating the clutch is closed.

3.5.5 Charge Air (Boost) Pressure

Bypass control solenoid


The relay Charge Air Bypass Valve will be energised when the engine speed reaches
700 rpm (tuneable) and is de-energised when the speed is greater than 800 rpm
(tuneable), or less than the 700 rpm.

Manual B36172.NEW System Description

3.5.6 Miscellaneous

Aux 2 Relay Output


The Aux 2 relay is energised whilst the engine speed is less than 800 rpm (tuneable),
when the engine speed is greater than this value the relay is de-energised.

Remote Relay Output


When Remote control is selected at the 723plus control panel the N/O output Remote
Control relay is energised, when in local control the relay is de-energised.

Overload Relay Output


If the actuator output goes into limit then the relay Overload will be energised.

Rack Position Output


The 4-20mA output will follow the position of the actuator demand 0% is 4mA, 100%
being 20mA.

Tachometer Outputs
Two isolated outputs are provided for bridge indication and monitoring system of engine
speed. Both outputs will be scaled identically 4-20mA represents 0-1600rpm (tuneable).

Go to Idle Speed
In the event of the following commands the engine will ramp to idle rated speed:
- Low Gearbox Control Oil Pressure Idle
- Return to Idle (ISIS)
- Telegraph sensor failure
- Clutch opening when speed above 400rpm alarm raised, latched until reset
- Clutch opening when speed less than 400rpm no alarm, no reset required normal
operation

3.6 Communications and Service Tools

3.6.1 Alarm and Status Display

Mounted in the front of the cabinet is an Alarm and Status Display unit comprising a
display which is a back lit LCD display having 2 lines capable of showing 20 characters
per line, and five function keys, F1, F2, F3, F4 and ENTER.

The unit will display all Alarms, and the relevant of control functions status and analogue
data.

3.6.2 Setpoint Programming

The parameters within the control may be configured and monitored using either a Hand
Held Programmer, or via a computer using the ServLink Server and Watch Window
software.

3.6.2.1 Hand Held Programmer and Menus

The Hand Held Programmer is a hand-held computer terminal that gets its power from
the 723 control. The terminal connects to the RS-422 communication serial port on the
control (terminal J1).

The programmer does a power-up self-test whenever it is plugged into the control. When
the self-test is complete, the screen will display two lines of information. This is
information relating to the application. Pressing the 'ID' key will change the display to
show the part number of the control.

Woodward 3-11
System Description Manual B36172.NEW

The programmer screen is a four-line, backlighted LCD display. The display permits you
to look at two separate functions or menu items at the same time. Use the Up/Down
Arrow key to toggle between the two displayed items. The BKSP and SPACE keys will
scroll through the display to show the remainder of a prompt if it is longer than the display
screen's 19 characters.

The 723 has two sets of menus; the Service menus and the Configure menus. The
Service menus allow easy access and tuning while the engine is running. The Configure
menus may only be entered if the I/O is shutdown, and hence the engine stopped.

3.6.2.2 PC Interface

A PC Interface is available which can be used instead of the Hand Held Programmer.
The hardware communication link is configurable for RS232 or RS422 (RS422 only if
using the 723 J1 port), and the communications protocol is the Woodward developed
ServLink. Woodward Watch Window is an application designed to communicate with the
Servlink Server and provide a user-friendly interface to the control.

Sensor #1 should be located on the engine side of the
coupling.
MAXIMUM HZ #1 This parameter allows tuning of the speed-sensing algorithm,
to obtain the optimum resolution for sensing speed. It is
important that the following instructions for tuning these
parameters are adhered to. The Maximum Hz should be
calculated based on both the minimum and maximum
controlling speeds:
(Maximum Speed x Pulse/Rev x 1.3)/60 = A
(Minimum Speed x Pulse/Rev x 4)/60 = B
If B > A then use A as the Maximum Hz. If B < A then use B as
the Maximum Hz, provided that B is greater then 1.1 x

Sensor #2 should be located on the generator/gearbox side of
the coupling, if the torsional filter is used, otherwise, it should
be located on the same speed-sensing disc as sensor #1.
MAXIMUM HZ #2 This parameter allows tuning of the speed-sensing algorithm,
to obtain the optimum resolution for sensing speed. It is
important that the following instructions for tuning these

TORSIONAL FILTER? This will enable the torsional filter if selected true.

FINAL DRIVER
ACTUATOR mA @ 0% This is the value of the current output to the actuator when the
control calls for 0% fuel (less than minimum stop).
For example: 10mA for direct acting actuator, 180mA for
reverse acting actuator.
ACTUATOR mA @ 100% This is the value of the current output to the actuator when the
control calls for 100% fuel (greater than maximum stop).
For example: 180mA for direct acting actuator, 10mA for
reverse acting actuator.
REVERSE ACTING? If this parameter is selected false (for a direct acting actuator
output), when the control issues a shutdown, the actuator
output will be driven immediately to 0mA (which is normally
less than the 0% fuel position). This works with the actuator
driver, as additional protection during an engine shutdown.
For a reverse acting actuator output (selected true), this
additional protection is not available, and therefore this action
will not occur.
WARNING: If this parameter is selected false, but the actuator
is configured for reverse acting, the actuator output will be
driven to 0mA (max fuel) during an engine shutdown.
Note: To configure the control actuator output for direct or
reverse acting, the Actuator mA @ 0/100% must be correctly
set-up, taking into account, the type of actuator supplied (direct
or reverse).

SHUTDOWN & ALARM


SHUTDOWN-ISIS: STOP If configured False: The Shutdown-ISIS signal is a normal stop
OR SD signal which does not require a reset signal when the engine
has stopped or
If configured True: The Shutdown-ISIS signal is configured as

reset button must be actioned prior to a start command.
GB IDLE-TO ALARM If configured False The Gearbox Oil or Control Oil Idle Select
RELAY will not be alarmed on the relay Gearbox Oil or Control Oil

If configured True either input will generate the relevant alarm.
IDLE SEL AUTO RESET If configured False when the IDLE SEL ISIS input is actioned
and the engine speed is sent to idle speed this signal is latched
and requires a reset command to reset the latch and alarm.

ERROR WINDOW #1 This value is the magnitude of a speed error at which the
control automatically switches to fast response, whilst the

Woodward 4-7

clutch is open, and the Fixed Speed contact input is open. The
control uses the absolute value of speed error, to make this
switch.
GAIN RATIO #1 This sets the ratio of the gain setting at steady state to the gain
setting during transient conditions, whilst the clutch is open and
the Fixed Speed contact is open. The Gain Ratio operates in
conjunction with the Error Window and Proportional Gain
adjustments, by multiplying the Proportional Gain setpoint by
the Gain Ratio when the speed error is greater than the Error
Window. This makes the control dynamics fast enough to
minimise engine speed overshoot on start-up and to reduce the
magnitude of speed error when loads are changing. This
allows a lower gain at steady state for better stability and
reduced steady-state actuator linkage movement.
The Gain Ratio function is disabled, if the Derivative Dynamics
are enabled, and vice versa.

OVERSPEED SP
OVERSPEED TRIP This value sets the speed at which the engine is considered by
the control, to be overspeeding.
If the 'Overspeed SD?' parameter is set true, the engine will be
shutdown as soon as an overspeed is detected.
Otherwise, each time an overspeed is detected, a counter is
incremented by 1. At that time, a timer is started, and once the
'Reset Ospd Delay' period has expired, the counter will be
reset. The counter is also reset each time the engine is
stopped.
When an overspeed is detected, if the total number of
overspeeds counted is less than the 'Overspeed Count' level,
the engine will force the actuator output down to the 'Actuator
Dec Level', for a period determined by the 'Actuator Dec Pulse'.
The 'Actuator Dec Pulse' timer does not start until the engine
speed has fallen below the 'Overspeed Trip' level. If the
number of overspeeds counted reaches the 'Overspeed Count'
level, the engine will be shutdown.
Please see Engine Manufacturers recommendation for the
value of this parameter.(rpm)
ACTUATOR DEC PULSE The actuator is forced to a lower level if an overspeed is
detected, until the engine speed falls below the 'Overspeed
Trip' and then for a further period of time determined by this
parameter. (s)
See the description for 'Overspeed Trip'.
ACTUATOR DEC LEVEL This is the level to which the actuator is forced if an overspeed
is detected. (%)
See the description for 'Overspeed Trip'.
OVERSPEED COUNT This is the number of overspeeds, which may occur before the
engine is shutdown. For a value of 1, the engine will be
shutdown each time an overspeed is detected.
See the description for 'Overspeed Trip'.
RESET OSPD DELAY When an overspeed first occurs, a timer is started. Once this
timer reaches the 'Reset Ospd Delay' time, the overspeed
counter is reset to zero. (mins)

PROP GAIN PID proportional gain adjustment for the dynamics gain.
Increasing the P term increases the gain, a value for P that is
too large will cause oscillation, if P is too small the offset from a
transient will be too large.
INT GAIN PID integrator rate adjustment for the dynamics, affects
recovery rate after a transient. A value for I that is too small will
change the actuator current slowly and speed will take a long
time to return to set speed after a transient, giving overdamped
response. If I is too large the actuator current will move too fast
and speed will overshoot and response will be underdamped.
DERIV GAIN PID derivative ratio adjustment for the dynamics. Set the
amount of derivative (or lead) action the control will have.
Increasing the derivative ratio value above 1 will decrease the
derivative function giving the control a PI type action. A value
too large will make the system less responsive. A value too
small will make the system oscillate, and cannot be
compensated for with the proportional gain or the integrator
rate.

Manual B36172.NEW Hand-held Programmer

5. HAND-HELD PROGRAMMER

5.1 Hand-held Programmer and Menus

The Hand-held Programmer is a hand-held computer terminal that gets its power from the
723plus Digital Control. The terminal connects to the RS-422 communication serial port
on the control.

The programmer does a power-up self-test whenever it is plugged into the control. When
the self-test is complete, the screen displays two lines of information. This is information
relating to the application. Pressing the 'ID' key changes the display to show the
Woodward logo with the country name ("Woodward (NL)") and application name of the
system. Press "ID" again for the software part number.

The programmer screen is a four-line, back lighted LCD display. The display lets you look
at two separate functions or menu items at the same time. Use the Up/Down Arrow
key to toggle between the two displayed items (an @ indicates the item in the active
menu). Use the BKSP and SPACE keys to scroll through the display to show the
remainder of a prompt if it is longer than the display screen's 18 characters.

The 723plus Digital Control has three sets of menus: the Service menus, the Configure
menus and the Debug menus. The Service menus allow easy access and tuning while
the engine is running. The Configure menus may only be entered if the I/O is shutdown,
and hence the engine stopped. The Debug menu allows access to the GAP software.

5.2 Configure Menus

To access the Configure menus, the engine must be shutdown. Press the . key. The
display will show, 'To Enable CONFIGURE Press *ENTER*'. Press the ENTER key and
the display will show, 'To Shutdown I/O, Press *ENTER*'. Press the ENTER key and this
will allow you to get into the Configure menus.

If the engine is running during this process, it will be shutdown due to the shutting down of
the I/O of the control.

To move between the menus use the and keys. To move through the setpoints
within a menu use the and keys,. Once in a menu, press the ESC key to return to
the menu header.

To leave the Configure menus press the ESC key. The message 'ReBooting Control' will
appear. The setpoints are automatically saved when leaving Configure.

5.3 Service Menus

To access the Service menus press the key. To move between menus, and to move
through setpoints within menus, follow the instructions as for the Configure menus. Also
to return to the menu header, or to leave Service, follow the Configure instructions.

5.4 Debug Menus

To access the Debug first press (solid square) after which the key should be
pressed. To move between category menus use the and keys, once in the right
category move through the GAP blocks by using the and keys.

Within a GAP block every output and tuneable (*) input can been seen by using the
and keys.

Woodward 5-1
Hand-held Programmer Manual B36172.NEW

A Tuneable (*) can be changed by using the Turtle Up or the Rabbit Up keys
to increase the value, and the Turtle Down or Rabbit Down keys to decrease
the value (see also adjusting setpoints).

To return to the menu header press the key, or to leave Service, follow the Configure
instructions.

5.5 Adjusting Setpoints

To adjust a set point, use the turtle up or the rabbit up keys to increase the
value, and the turtle down or rabbit down keys to decrease the value. The
rabbit up and rabbit down keys will make the rate of change faster than the
turtle up and turtle down keys. This is useful during initial set-up where a
value may need to be changed significantly. Where necessary, to select TRUE, use
either the turtle up or the rabbit up keys, and to select FALSE, use the
turtle down or rabbit down keys.

To obtain an exact value, press the = key. Key in the required figure and press ENTER.

This may only be done if the figure is within 10% of the existing value.

To save setpoints at any time, use the SAVE key. This transfers all new setpoint values
into EEPROM memory. The EEPROM retains all setpoints when power is removed from
the control.

!
CAUTION
To prevent possible damage to the engine resulting from improper control settings,
make sure you save the setpoints before removing power from the control. Failure
to save the setpoints before removing power from the control causes them to revert
to the previously saved settings.

6.1 Introduction

The HMI is a simple two-line display, which will display Engine Alarms, Shutdown
conditions, engine status indications and engine analogue parameters.

It is used for display only. The setting and altering of tuneable values are done using the
HandHeld Programmer (see Chapter 5 HAND-HELD PROGRAMMER.

The 723Plus communicates with the 2-line display via an RS232 serial communication
link using the Modbus RTU protocol.

General Information

Introduction
This manual describes the Woodward 723PLUS Digital Control hardware,
9906-619 (low voltage) 9906-620 (high voltage), 9907-243 (Wrtsil, low
voltage), and 9907-244 (Wrtsil, high voltage). These part numbers are EU
Directive compliant components.

Declaration of Incorporation
In accordance with the EMC Directive 89/336/EEC and its amendments, this
controlling device, manufactured by the Woodward Governor Company, is
applied solely as a component to be incorporated into a prime mover system.
Woodward Governor declares that this controlling device complies with the
requirements of EN500812 and EN500822 when put into service per the
installation and operating instructions outlined the product manual.

NOTICE: This controlling device is intended to be put into service only upon
incorporation into a prime mover system that itself has met the requirements of
the above Directive and bears the CE mark.

Application
The 723PLUS Digital Control can be programmed to suit applications requiring
two magnetic pickups (MPUs) or proximity switches (e.g. for torsional filtering)
as the hardware includes two speed inputs. It also includes four analog inputs,
three analog outputs, eight discrete inputs and three discrete outputs, all of which
can be programmed to satisfy the application. The control can be used in load
sharing systems as it contains circuitry and connections to support this.

The two LON channels can be used to support Woodward LonTalk or LinkNet
input/output nodes control functions.

The 723PLUS control (Figure 1-1) consists of a single printed circuit board in a
sheet-metal chassis. Connections are via three terminal strips and three 9-pin
subminiature D connectors.

Woodward 1
723PLUS Hardware Manual Manual 02877

Control Options
The 723PLUS control requires the following power supply input voltages, with
40 watts as the nominal power consumption at rated voltage:
1840 Vdc (24 or 32 Vdc nominal)
90150 Vdc (125 Vdc nominal)

Discrete input voltages provide on/off command signals to the electronic control.
Each discrete input requires 10 mA at its 24 Vdc nominal voltage rating (for 24
volt switching logic).

Other control options are:


proximity switch input for speed signal frequencies below 100 Hz (see
NOTE)
01 mA for meter drivers
tandem actuator outputs
dual actuator outputs (0200 mA)

The control may be used with either proximity switches (see NOTE) or magnetic
pickups. The minimum frequency for steady state speed control is 30 Hz. For
more information see Control Specifications (inside back cover).

 NOTE
EU Directive compliant applications are not currently able to use
proximity switches due to the sensitivity of the switches.

Chapter 2
Electrostatic Discharge Awareness

All electronic equipment is static-sensitive, some components more than others.


To protect these components from static damage, you must take special
precautions to minimize or eliminate electrostatic discharges.

Follow these precautions when working with or near the control.

1. Before doing maintenance on the electronic control, discharge the static


electricity on your body to ground by touching and holding a grounded
metal object (pipes, cabinets, equipment, etc.).

2. Avoid the build-up of static electricity on your body by not wearing


clothing made of synthetic materials. Wear cotton or cotton-blend materials
as much as possible because these do not store static electric charges as
much as synthetics.

3. Keep plastic, vinyl, and styrofoam materials (such as plastic or styrofoam


cups, cup holders, cigarette packages, cellophane wrappers, vinyl books or
folders, plastic bottles, and plastic ash trays) away from the control, the
modules, and the work area as much as possible.

4. Do not remove the printed circuit board (PCB) from the control cabinet
unless absolutely necessary. If you must remove the PCB from the control
cabinet, follow these precautions:

Do not touch any part of the PCB except the edges.

Do not touch the electrical conductors, the connectors, or the


components with conductive devices or with your hands.

When replacing a PCB, keep the new PCB in the plastic antistatic
protective bag it comes in until you are ready to install it. Immediately
after removing the old PCB from the control cabinet, place it in the
antistatic protective bag.

Figure 3-1. 723PLUS Control Internal Jumpers

Woodward 9
723PLUS Hardware Manual Manual 02877

Internal Jumpers
The 723PLUS control has ten, two-position internal jumpers (JPR1 through
JPR20) located on the top of the printed circuit board. If it is necessary to change
any jumper to match your control requirements, and this suits the nature of the
software, be sure to read Chapter 2, Electrostatic Discharge Awareness.
Remove power and all inputs. Wait 45 seconds, then remove cover. With your
fingers or a small pair of tweezers, carefully remove the appropriate jumper and
replace it securely over the proper two connectors (see Figure 3-1).

The jumper connections are listed:


JPR10 analog output #1 01 mA
* JPR9 analog output #1 020 mA

JPR12 analog output #2 01 mA


* JPR11 analog output #2 020 mA

(see NOTE on page 2)
* default jumper settings

Electrical Connections
External wiring connections and shielding requirements for each installation are
shown in Chapter 5 of the software manual appropriate to the application.

Shielded Wiring
All shielded cable must be twisted conductor pairs. Do not attempt to tin the
braided shield. All signal lines should be shielded to prevent picking up stray
signals from adjacent equipment. Connect the shields to the nearest chassis
ground. Wire exposed beyond the shield should be as short as possible, not
exceeding 50 mm (2 inches). The other end of the shields must be left open and
insulated from any other conductor. DO NOT run shielded signal wires along
with other wires carrying large currents. See Woodward application note 50532,
Interference Control in Electronic Governing Systems for more information.

10 Woodward
Manual 02877 723PLUS Hardware Manual
Where shielded cable is required, cut the cable to the desired length and prepare
the cable as instructed below.

1. Strip outer insulation from BOTH ENDS, exposing the braided or spiral
wrapped shield. DO NOT CUT THE SHIELD.
2. Using a sharp, pointed tool, carefully spread the strands of the shield.
3. Pull inner conductor(s) out of the shield. If the shield is the braided type,
twist it to prevent fraying.
4. Remove 6 mm (1/4 inch) of insulation from the inner conductors.

Installations with severe electromagnetic interference (EMI) may require


additional shielding precautions. Contact Woodward Governor Company for
more information.

Power Supply (Terminals 1/2)


Power supply output must be low impedance (for example, directly from
batteries). DO NOT power the control from high-voltage sources with resistors
and zener diodes in series with the control power input. The 723PLUS control
contains a switching power supply which requires a current surge to start
properly.

! CAUTION
To prevent damage to the control, do not power a low-voltage control
from high-voltage sources, and do not power any control from high-
voltage sources with resistors and zener diodes in series with the
power input.

Run the power leads directly from the power source to the control. DO NOT
POWER OTHER DEVICES WITH LEADS COMMON TO THE CONTROL.
Avoid long wire lengths. Connect the positive (line) to terminal 1 and negative
(common) to terminal 2. If the power source is a battery, be sure the system
includes an alternator or other battery-charging device.

If possible, do NOT turn off control power as part of a normal shutdown


procedure. Leave the control powered except for service of the system and
extended periods of disuse.

! CAUTION
Do NOT apply power to the control at this time. Applying power may
damage the control.

To prevent damage to the engine, apply power to the 723PLUS


control at least 60 seconds prior to starting the engine. The control
must have time to do its power up diagnostics and become
operational. Do not start the engine unless the green POWER AND
CPU OK indicator on the 723PLUS control cover comes on, because
test failure turns off the output of the control.

Woodward 11
723PLUS Hardware Manual Manual 02877

Analog Outputs (#1 & #2) (Terminals 15/16 & 17/18)


Use shielded twisted-pair wires to connect to terminals 15(+) & 16() and 17(+)
& 18(). For an electrically isolated input device such as a 4 to 20 mA input
analog meter, the shield should be grounded at the control end of the cable. For
input to other devices, use the recommendation of the device manufacturer.

! CAUTION
To prevent possible damage to the control or poor control
performance resulting from ground loop problems, we recommend
using current-loop isolators if the 723PLUS control's analog inputs
and outputs must both be used with non-isolated devices. A number
of manufacturers offer 20 mA loop isolators. Consult Woodward
Governor Company for further information.

Analog Outputs (#3 & #4) (Terminals 19/20 & 21/22)


The actuator wires connect to terminals 19(+) & 20() and 21(+) & 22(). Use
shielded wires with the shield connected to chassis at the control.

Speed Signal Inputs (Terminals 11/12 & 13/14)


Connect a magnetic pick-up (MPU) or proximity switch (see NOTE on page 2)
to terminals 11 and 12. You may need to connect a second MPU/proximity
switch to terminals 13 and 14 (see relevant application manual). Use shielded
wire for all speed sensor connections. Connect the shield to the chassis. Make
sure the shield has continuity the entire distance to the speed sensor, and make
sure the shield is insulated from all other conducting surfaces.

! WARNING
The number of gear teeth is used by the control to convert pulses
from the speed sensing device to engine rpm. To prevent possible
serious injury from an overspeeding engine, make sure the control is
properly programmed to convert the gear-tooth count into engine
rpm. Improper conversion could cause engine overspeed.

Load Sharing Lines Input (Terminals 9/10)


Connect the output of a Woodward Load Sensor, or another 723PLUS control's
load sharing lines, to terminals 9(+) and 10(). Use a shielded twisted-pair cable.
Wire the remainder of the load sensor in accordance with the wiring diagram for
the sensor used.

For Lloyds Register of Shipping applications, use only isolated contacts
(dry or signal rated) for the discrete inputs. Power these contacts from the
control-supplied Aux Voltage.

Discrete inputs are the switch input commands to the 723PLUS control. In low
voltage systems, or other systems where nominal 24 Vdc is available, the
discrete inputs should be powered by this external voltage.

If you are using the control-supplied aux voltage, jumper terminal 37 to terminal
38. This connects the control's common to the discrete input common. Terminal
39 then supplies power (approximately +24 Vdc) to the discrete inputs. Since the
aux voltage is not isolated from other control circuits, use only isolated contacts
(dry or signal voltage rated) for the discrete circuits. DO NOT POWER ANY
OTHER DEVICES WITH THE AUX VOLTAGE SOURCE.

If you are supplying the discrete input voltage (24 Vdc), connect the voltage
source negative () to terminal 37 (DO NOT INSTALL THE JUMPER FROM
TERMINAL 37 TO 38). Then run the voltage source positive (+) to the
appropriate switch or relay contact and then to the corresponding discrete input.

Analog Inputs (#1, #2, #3, & #4) (Terminals 42/43,


45/46, 48/49, & 51/ 52)
Use shielded twisted-pair cable to connect to terminals 42(+) & 43(), 45(+) &
46(-), 48(+) & 49(), and 51(+) & 52(). Ensure that a jumper is installed
between relevant terminals (41 & 42#1, 44 & 45#2, 47 & 48#3, 49 & 50#4)
for the mA input. These inputs are not isolated from the other control inputs and
outputs (except the power supply input and the discrete inputs). If any other
analog input or output is used in a common ground system, an isolator must be
installed. A number of manufacturers offer 20 mA loop isolators. Consult
Woodward Governor Company for further information.

Installation Checkout Procedure


With the installation complete, do the following checkout procedure before
beginning set point entry or initial start-up adjustments.

723PLUS Hardware Manual Manual 02877

Notes for Figure 3-2


1. Shielded wires are twisted pairs, with shield grounded at one end only. When
mounting control to bulkhead, use the grounding stud and hardware supplied with
the chassis to ensure proper grounding.

2. Shields must not be grounded at any external point unless otherwise noted.

3. All shields must be carried continuously through all terminal blocks and must not be
tied to other shields except at the common ground point. Tie all shields together at
ground stud located near connector J1.

4. Remove jumper for voltage input.

5. Remove jumper if using external discrete input power.

6. Discrete inputs are isolated from other circuits and intended to be powered by TB1-
39 (+24) leaving the jumper in place. Input current is nominally 10 mA input into
2210 

7. Unless otherwise specified:


A. Relays shown de-energized
B. Relays energize for function
C. Relay contact ratings for minimum 100,000 operations:
Resistive 2.0 A at 28 Vdc
0.1 A at 115 Vac 50 to 400 Hz
Inductive 0.75 A at 28 Vdc 0.2 Henry
0.1 A at 28 Vdc lamp

8. Analog output signals to other systems must be isolated from ground either by
design or employment of isolation amplifiers.

9. Analog input signals to other systems must be isolated from ground either by design
or employment of isolation amplifiers.

10. Factory set for MPU input.

11. Factory set for 20 160 mA output.

12. Factory set for 4 20 mA output.

13. Internal power supply provides dc isolation between the power source and all other
inputs and outputs.

14. Communication port J1 can be used with the Woodward ST2000 Hand Held
Programmer or PC Interface using Watch Window/ServLink software.

15. Communication port J2 or J3 can be configured as an RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485


serial interface. Port configuration can be done in the application software only. For
the pin assignment of J2 and J3, see later in this chapter.

16. This analog output may connect to a metering/controlling device. The shield should
be continuous between all connected devices with a single shield termination point
to ground.

17. Use twisted pair shielded wires only.

18. Remove jumper if used with the gas engine I/O node.

1. Visual inspection
A. Check the linkage between the actuator and fuel metering device for
looseness or binding. Refer to the appropriate actuator manual, and Manual
25070, Electric Governor Installation Guide for additional information on
linkage.

! WARNING
To prevent possible serious injury from an overspeeding engine, the
actuator lever or stroke should be near but not at the minimum
position when the fuel valve or fuel rack is at the minimum fuel
delivery position.

B. Check for correct wiring in accordance with the plant wiring diagram,
(see relevant Application Manual).
C. Check for broken terminals and loose terminal screws.
D. Check the speed sensor(s) for visible damage. If the sensor is a magnetic
pickup, check the clearance between the gear and the sensor, and adjust if
necessary. Clearance should be between 0.25 and 1.25 mm (0.010 and 0.050
inch) at the closest point. Make sure the gear runout does not exceed the
pickup gap.

2. Check for grounds


Check for grounds by measuring the resistance from all control terminals to
chassis. All terminals except terminals 2 and 38 should measure infinite
resistance (the resistance of terminals 2 and 38 depends on whether a
floating or grounded power source is used). If a resistance less than infinite
is obtained, remove the connections from each terminal one at a time until
the resistance is infinite. Check the line that was removed last to locate the
fault.

Serial Port Communications


The 723PLUS has two serial ports for communications. They may be software
configured as RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485. These ports may be software
configured to function as MODBUS communications ports at the time the
application software is written. If the J2 and J3 port are configured as a
MODBUS port, they will support either MODBUS ASCII or MODBUS RTU
protocols.

Termination
For RS-422, termination should be located at the receiver when one or more
transmitters are connected to a single receiver. When a single transmitter is
connected to one or more receivers, termination should be at the receiver farthest
from the transmitter. Figure 3-3 is an example.

16 Woodward
Manual 02877 723PLUS Hardware Manual

Figure 3-3. RS-422 Terminator Locations

Communicating with the OpTrend operator interface is a special case of Figure


3-3. Because the OpTrend master cannot put its transmitter into a high-
impedance state, and our bit rate is less than 90k bits/sec, termination is not
needed at the slave. Termination is needed at the OpTrend receiver, but because
there is no way to locate it there, it has to be put at the alternate location.

For RS-485, termination should be at each end of the cable. If termination cant
be located at the end of a cable, put it as close as possible to the ends. Figure 3-4
is an example.

Figure 3-4. RS-485 Terminator Locations

If you do not know if a master can put its transmitter into a high-impedance state,
terminate the line as shown in Figure 3-3. It does not hurt to terminate the line
even when it is not needed as in the case of the OpTrend operator interface.

Woodward 17
723PLUS Hardware Manual Manual 02877
Termination is accomplished using a three-resistor voltage divider between a
positive voltage and ground. The impedance of the resistor network should be
equal to the characteristic impedance of the cable. This is usually about 100 to
120 ohms. The purpose is to maintain a voltage level between the two
differential lines so that the receiver will be in a stable condition. The
differential voltage can range between 0.2 and 6 volts; but the maximum voltage
between either receiver input and circuit ground must be less than 10 volts.
There is one termination resistor network for each port located on the 723PLUS
board. Connection to this resistor network is made through the 9-pin connectors
on pins 6 and 9. See Figures 3-5 through 3-8 for termination and cable
connection examples.

Manual 02877 723PLUS Hardware Manual

Grounding and Shielding


The RS-422 and RS-485 specifications state that a ground wire is needed if there
is no other ground path between units. The preferred method to do this is to
include a separate wire in the cable that connects the circuit grounds together.
Connect the shield to earth ground at one point only. The alternate way is to
connect all circuit grounds to the shield, and then connect the shield to earth
ground at one point only. If the latter method is used, and there are non-isolated
nodes on the party line, connect the shield to ground at a non-isolated node, not
at an isolated node. Figures 3-9 and 3-10 illustrate these cabling approaches.

 NOTE
Non-isolated nodes may not have a signal ground available. If signal
ground is not available, use the alternate wiring scheme in Figure
3-10 with the signal ground connection removed on those nodes
only.

Figure 3-9. Preferred Multipoint Wiring Using Shielded Twisted-pair Cable with
a Separate Signal Ground Wire

 NOTE
The SG (signal ground) connection is not required if signal ground is
unavailable.

Chapter 4
Entering Control Set Points

Introduction
Due to the variety of installations, plus system and component tolerances, the
723PLUS control must be tuned to each system for optimum performance.

This chapter contains information on how to enter control set points through the
control's menu system using the Hand Held Programmer. If you have access to
the Watch Window software tool and ServLink software, you can set up and tune
the 723PLUS control from a PC (personal computer) using the instructions in
Chapter 5 of this manual.

! WARNING
An improperly calibrated control could cause an engine overspeed or
other damage to the engine. To prevent possible serious injury from
an overspeeding engine, read this entire procedure before starting
the engine.

Hand Held Programmer and Menus


The Hand Held Programmer is a hand-held computer terminal that gets its power
from the 723PLUS control. The terminal connects to the RS-422 communication
serial port on the control (terminal J1). To connect the terminal, slightly loosen
the right-hand screw in the cover over J1 and rotate the cover clockwise to
expose the 9-pin connector. Then firmly seat the connector on the terminal into
J1.

The programmer does a power-up self-test whenever it is plugged into the


control. When the self-test is complete, the screen will display two lines of
information. This is information relating to the application. Pressing the ID key
will change the display to show the part number of the software and version
letter.

The programmer screen is a four-line, backlighted LCD display. The display


permits you to look at two separate functions or menu items at the same time.
Use the UP/DOWN ARROW key to toggle between the two displayed items.
The BKSP and SPACE keys will scroll through the display to show the
remainder of a prompt if it is longer than the display screen's 18 characters.

The 723PLUS has two sets of menusthe Service menus and the Configure
menus. The Service menus allow easy access and tuning while the engine is
running. The Configure menus may be entered only if the I/O is shutdown (hence
the engine stopped).

Woodward 21
723PLUS Hardware Manual Manual 02877

Configure Menus
To access the Configure menus, the engine must be shut down. Press the NH\
The display will show, To select configure, press enter. Press the ENTER key
and the display will show, To shutdown I/O, press enter. Press the ENTER key
and this will allow you into the Configure menus.

 NOTE
If the engine is running during this process, it will be shut down due
to shutting down the I/O of the control.

To move between the menus use the LEFT ARROW and RIGHT ARROW keys.
To move through the set points within a menu, use the UP ARROW and DOWN
ARROW keys. Once within a menu, to return to the menu header, press the ESC
key.

To leave the Configure menus press the ESC key. The set points will be
automatically saved when leaving Configure.

Service Menus
To access the Service menus press the DOWN ARROW key. To move between
menus, and to move through set points within menus follow the instructions as
for the Configure menus. Also to return to return to the menu header, or to leave
Service, follow the Configure instructions.

Adjusting Set Points


To adjust a set point, use the TURTLE UP or the RABBIT UP keys to increase
the value, and the TURTLE or RABBIT DOWN keys to decrease the value. The
RABBIT UP and RABBIT DOWN keys will make the rate of change faster than
the TURTLE UP and TURTLE DOWN keys. This is useful during initial setup
where a value may need to be changed significantly. Where necessary, to select
TRUE, use either the TURTLE UP or the RABBIT UP keys, and to select
FALSE, use the TURTLE DOWN or RABBIT DOWN keys.

Use the + or keys to change integer values in the application software.

To obtain an exact value, press the = key. Key in the required figure and press
ENTER.

 NOTE
This may be done only if the figure is within 10% of the existing
value.

22 Woodward
Manual 02877 723PLUS Hardware Manual
To save set points at any time, use the SAVE key. This will transfer all new set
point values into the EEPROM memory. The EEPROM retains all set points
when power is removed from the control.

! CAUTION
To prevent possible damage to the engine resulting from improper
control settings, make sure you save the set points before removing
power from the control. Failure to save the set points before
removing power from the control causes them to revert to the
previously saved settings.

Hand Held Programmer Keys


The programmer keys do the following functions (see Figure 4-1):

(left arrow) Moves backward through Configure or Service, one menu at a time.
(right arrow) Advances through Configure or Service, one menu at a time.
(up/down arrow) Toggles between the two displayed items.
(up arrow) Moves backward through each menu, one step at a time.
(down arrow) Advances through each menu, one step at a time. Selects Service
from Main Screen.
(turtle up) Increases the displayed set point value slowly.
(turtle down) Decreases the displayed set point value slowly.
(rabbit up) Increases the displayed set point value quickly (about 10 times faster
than the turtle keys).
(rabbit down) Decreases the displayed set point value quickly (about 10 times
faster than the turtle keys).
(minus) Increases set point values by one step at a time.
+ (plus) Decreases set point values by one step at a time.
(solid square) Not used.
ID Displays the 723PLUS control part number and software revision
level.
ESC To return to menu header or to main screen.
SAVE Saves entered values (set points).
BKSP Scrolls left through line of display.
SPACE Scrolls right through line of display.
ENTER Used when entering exact values and accessing Configure.

Using ServLink with Watch Window

Using Watch Window


Here are brief instructions for using Watch Window in conjunction with
ServLink to view the variables for your 723PLUS control on a PC (personal
computer). These instructions are meant to be introductory only. Full on-line
help is available in each application. It is assumed that you already have
ServLink and Watch Window installed. The default installation location can be
found by clicking the START icon (Microsoft Windows 95 or later) on the main
menu bar and then clicking the PROGRAMS menu item. Look for an icon called
WOODWARD WATCH WINDOW.

1. Make sure that all other programs that may access your computer
communications port are shut down.
2. Get the right cable to talk from your PC to the control (5416-614 will work
for J2 and J3, 5416-870 for J1).
3. Start the ServLink server and open a new file. Select the proper COM port
for your PC, verify that POINT TO POINT communications mode is
selected, and verify that the baud rate matches the baud rate of the 723PLUS.
The default baud rate is 19 200. See the on-line help file if you have been
changing the port settings of your control.
4. Select OK. If everything is working right, you should see an animated
picture of a string of 1s and 0s flying from the control to the PC on your
screen. You now have a network definition file whose default name is NET1.
You should save this file as your filename.NET (use FILE/SAVE AS).
Link this name to your control part number, as it will work only with that
application. For instance, if the upper level control number is 9907-031, you
could save the file as 9907031.NET. DO NOT DISCONNECT THE
SERVER.
5. In the ServLink window you will now have another dialog window titled
your filename.net. In this window you will see a ballhead icon and a
control identifier name. Unless you have given the control a serial number
(or name) with the SLSN.EXE program, this name will display as
<unidentified>.
6. Start the Watch Window application. When Watch Window executes, you
will have a screen displaying three windows entitled Watch Window,
Explorer, and Inspector.
7. The Explorer window will have two groups displayed, SERVICE and
CONFIGURE. Double clicking on either of these will expand them to show
groups of values. Explorer is used only to locate a tunable or monitor value.
In order to change a value or monitor a value, you must drag and drop a
value from the Explorer window into the Inspector window.

Woodward 25
723PLUS Hardware Manual Manual 02877
8. Once a value is displayed in the Inspector, you can see several blocks of
information. The most important blocks for a tunable value are the FIELD
and VALUE blocks. The FIELD block is used to identify a particular value,
and the VALUE block displays the current value of a variable. There are two
types of values available in Watch Window. One is a monitor value, which is
marked in the INSPECTOR window with a pair of glasses. This means it
may only be looked at. The other value is a read/write value, which is
marked with a pencil. The read/write type may be modified using the up and
down arrows in the value block.

Downloading to the 723PLUS


NOTE that this is the only way to download to a 723PLUS, and it will not work
on a regular 723.

1. Make sure that all other programs that may access your computers
communication port are shut down.
2. Get the right cable to talk from your PC to the control J1 port (5416-870).
3. Start the ServLink server and open a new file. From the dialog window,
select the proper COM port for your PC, select POINT TO POINT
communications mode, and set the baud rate to 19200.
4. Select OK. If everything is working right, you should see an animated
picture of a string of 1s and 0s flying from the control to the PC on your
screen. You now have a network definition file whose default name is NET1.
You should save this file. Link this name to your control part number as it
will only work with that application. For instance if the upper level control
number is 9907-031, you could save the file as 9907031.NET. DO NOT
DISCONNECT THE SERVER.
5. In the ServLink window you will now have another dialog window titled
your filename.net. In this window you will see a ballhead icon and a
control identifier name. Unless you have given the control a serial number
(or name) with the SLSN.EXE program, this name will display as
<unidentified>.
6. Start the Watch Window program. Under the title bar in the Explorer
window you will find a tab with your network file and the control ID
displayed. Right click this tab to display the pop-up menu, and select LOAD
APPLICATION. This will close the Inspector window and open a new
window where you will enter the name of the file you want to download.
Once the filename is correct, click on the OPEN button. A Warning screen
will ask you to make sure the engine is shut down before downloading.
Downloading will proceed automatically once your accept the message to
shut down the engine.

! WARNING
Be sure the engine is shut down before downloading. An engine
overspeed is possible if the engine is running during the download
process.

will only work with that application. For instance if the upper level control
number is 9907-031, you could save the file as 9907031.NET. DO NOT
DISCONNECT THE SERVER.
5. In the ServLink window you will now have another dialog window titled
your filename.net. In this window you will see a ballhead icon and a
control identifier name. Unless you have given the control a serial number
(or name) with the SLSN.EXE program, this name will display as
<unidentified>.
6. Start the Watch Window program. Under the title bar in the Explorer
window you will find a tab with your network file and the control id
displayed. Right click this tab to display the pop-up menu, and select
CONFIGURATION. If you want to take the configuration from a control,
select SAVE TO FILE. If you want to download a new configuration to a
control with an existing application, then select LOAD FROM FILE.
7. If you select SAVE TO FILE, you will have to provide the name of a file
where you want to save the configuration. If your control has a part number
of 9907-031 then you might want to call this file 9907031.cfg. Make the
name meaningful so you can find it easily the next time you need it.
8. If you select LOAD FROM FILE you will get a confirmation warning telling
you that the unit will be shut down. If you answer yes then you will be asked
for the name of the configuration file that you want to download.

Service Options

Product Service Options


The following are the factory options available for the service of Woodward
equipment under Woodwards standard Product and Service Warranty (25222),
in effect at the time the product is sold from Woodward or the service is
performed:
Replacement/Exchange (24-hour service)
Flat Rate Repair
Flat Rate Remanufacture

If you are experiencing problems with installation or unsatisfactory performance


of an installed system, the following options are available:
Consult the troubleshooting guide in the manual.
Contact Woodward technical assistance (see How to Contact Woodward
later in this chapter) and discuss your problem. In most cases, your problem
can be resolved over the phone. If not, you can select which course of action
you wish to pursue based on the available services listed in this section.

Replacement/Exchange
Replacement/Exchange is a premium program designed for the user who is in
need of immediate service. It allows you to request and receive a like-new
replacement unit in minimum time (usually within 24 hours of the request),
providing a suitable unit is available at the time of the request, thereby
minimizing costly downtime. This is also a Flat Rate structured program and
includes the full standard Woodward product warranty, pursuant to Woodwards
Product and Service Warranty (25222).

This option allows you to call in advance of a scheduled outage or an unexpected


outage and request a replacement control unit. If the unit is available at the time
of the call, it can usually be shipped out within 24 hours. You replace your field
control unit with the like-new replacement and return the field unit to the
Woodward facility as explained later in this chapter.

Charges for the Replacement/Exchange service are based on a flat rate plus
shipping expenses. You are invoiced the flat rate replacement/exchange charge
plus a core charge at the time the replacement unit is shipped. If the core (field
unit) is returned to Woodward within 60 days, Woodward will issue a credit for
the core charge. [The core charge is the average difference between the flat rate
replacement/exchange charge and the current list price of a new unit.]

Woodward 29
723PLUS Hardware Manual Manual 02877
Return Shipment Authorization Label. To ensure prompt receipt of the core,
and avoid additional charges, the package must be properly marked. A return
authorization label is included with every Replacement/Exchange unit that
leaves Woodward. The core should be repackaged and the return authorization
label affixed to the outside of the package. Without the authorization label,
receipt of the returned core could be delayed and cause additional charges to be
applied.

Field Service engineers are dispatched from the Woodward facility in Colorado,
or from one of many regional or worldwide offices located near the customer to
provide prompt response. Woodward field engineers are experienced and are
continually updated on all Woodward products as well as much of the non-
Woodward equipment they interface with. The field engineers ensure that all
documentation is updated, and all field engineers are well informed as to new
problems which might arise. Woodward field service engineers are on-call 24
hours a day. Call the number above and ask for field service.

Specialized Services can be tailored to your specific needs. These services can
be based on a particular aspect of a single service or a combination of services
and are covered under one low-cost service contract. A contract may be for
regularly scheduled training courses or possibly to have a field engineer visit
your site at pre-determined intervals to provide a system analysis, verify proper
operation, and make recommendations for maintenance improvements,
enhancements, or other needs. These contracts are usually custom-designed and
structured to allow ultimate flexibility, thereby allowing you to plan and budget
more accurately. For more details, contact the Woodward sales representative, or
call the number above and ask for sales support to discuss specific needs.

Chapter 1
General Information

Introduction
This manual contains information about the Woodward Integral EG Actuator for
PG governors as an add-on unit:
to form the PG-EG actuator (no ballhead) or
to create a ballhead backup governor (PGA-EG or PGG-EG) from the PGA
or PGG governor.
In this manual, PG-EG refers to any of these three governor types.

This manual covers the EG, governor components affected by the EG, and
information pertaining to the PG-EG. For more general governor information,
refer to the PGA governor manual (36604) or the PGG governor manual
(36627).

Description
The EG is an electro-hydraulically controlled actuator that accepts a 0200 mA
signal, and outputs on a standard PG servo proportional to the mA signal.

Reverse or Direct Acting


The actuator is available for use with either direct- or reverse-acting electronic
controls. Direct-acting units assume an increasing fuel as the current level
increases. Reverse-acting units assume a decreasing fuel position as the current
level increases.

Reverse-acting EG actuators are normally used on ballhead governors to provide


an automatic ballhead back-up in case the electrical control signal is lost or
interrupted.

Direct-acting EG actuators will cause shutdown if the electrical current to the


actuator is lost or interrupted.

Direct-acting Reverse-acting
Fuel Rack Position 0.0500.950" TR 0.0500.950" TR
Control Current 20160 mA 16020 mA

Vibration Resistance
The EG actuator is in itself resistant against vibration due to the torque motor
beam being mass-stabilized in all three axes. As a consequence, vibrations have
minimal influence on the position of the beam.

Installation

Receiving
Your PG governor is shipped from the factory bolted to a wooden platform in a
vertical position. After being tested at the factory, the governor is drained of oil.
This leaves a light film of oil covering the internal parts, preventing rust. No
internal cleaning is required.

! CAUTION
Use care in handling the governor. Be particularly careful to avoid
striking the drive shaft. Do not drop or rest the governor on its drive
shaft. Such treatment could damage the gears and bearings in the
governor oil pump.

Most PG governors lift from an eye-bolt threaded into a 0.375-16 (inch) hole in
the center of the cover. PG-200, PG-300, and PG-500 governors must be lifted
with a sling. Some PG governors have split covers which need to be lifted with a
sling as well.

Storage
The governor may be stored for up to a year as received from the factory. Store
the governor in a vertical position. Fill completely with oil if extended storage is
necessary.

Mounting Requirements
A gasket must be used between the governor and the accessory mounting pad. A
0.032 inch thick (0.81 mm) gasket is recommended for this purpose. The gasket
is used to absorb imperfections between the governor base and the mounting pad,
and to avoid oil leakage between the governor and the drive portion of the
engine.

Install the governor square on the accessory pad, using the correct length of
coupling between the governor and the drive. Make sure the driveshaft does not
bind, and that there is no excessive side load on the driveshaft assembly. Make
sure the coupling is tight, and do not use force when installing the drive shaft
into the coupling. The governor must be installed in a vertical position.
A rough or non-concentric drive can prevent smooth governor operation and
shorten governor life. The drive should be as smooth as possible. Poor drive
dynamics can damage governor seals and bearings.

! CAUTION
Rotation direction is factory set for some governors. Damage will
result if the governor is installed on a drive which rotates in the

Woodward 7
Integral EG Actuator for PG Governors Manual 36637
wrong direction. Specifications for individual governors indicate if
the unit has been plugged to limit rotation to one direction only.
Many PG governors are equipped with check valves in the pump,
allowing rotation in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions.

Linkage
Align the linkage from the governor to the fuel pumps or valves to eliminate
binding and excessive backlash. The relationship of governor/terminal shaft
angular position to the fuel control position must be adjusted in accordance with
the engine manufacturer's specifications. The linkage must not limit the
governor's ability to call for maximum fuel or to shut down the engine.

Linkage must not give during major transients and must not be so heavy that it
hinders accurate governor response. Linkage must be designed to resist wear.

Linkage is responsible for many apparent governor problems, and proper


design and installation of the linkage between the governor output and the engine
is extremely important.

The fuel-control linkage must be adjusted so at least 15% of the governor travel
(output) from minimum position has been used when the fuel control is at idle
no-load (A and D; see Figure 2-1). This minimum setting is required due to the
location of the compensation cut-off port (if so equipped).

Use as much of the governor output travel as possible. Stability is greatly


improved with the use of maximum governor travel. Design linkage so governor
output and resultant power output of the engine are nearly linear.

Electrical and Hydraulic Connections


Make the pneumatic (if applicable), hydraulic, and electrical connections
required for the particular governor. Refer to Figures 1-1 through 1-3.

Standard electrical connections are made to the four-pin connector on the side of
the column (see figures). Optionally, the EG actuator may be wired to the
connector on the receiver bracket through an internal mounting bracket.

Instead of a connector, the governor may be equipped with a flying lead, leaving
the governor on the side of the column. This option is used mostly on governors
in a high-vibration environment.

Manual 36637 Integral EG Actuator for PG Governors

Figure 2-1. Governor Travel

Clearances
Leave adequate clearance to connect the linkage, to fill the governor with oil,
and to remove the cover (if necessary).

Governor Oil
Governor oil must have lubricating and hydraulic properties. The oil must have a
viscosity index that allows it to perform over the operating temperature range of
the governor. The oil must have additives that allow it to remain stable and
predictable over the operating temperature range of the governor. The oil used in
the governor must be compatible with the nitrile, polyacrylic, and fluorocarbon
seals used in the governor.
Many oils and synthetic lubricating fluids used in the engines controlled by PG
governors meet these specifications. When possible use the same grade and
weight of oil used in the engine. Information in this manual is intended to be
used only in the selection of the governor lubricating oil, not for selecting engine
lube oil. USE ONLY NEW, CLEAN OIL. DO NOT USE USED ENGINE OIL
IN THE GOVERNOR.

Woodward governors and actuators are designed to give stable operation with
oils which provide 50 to 3000 SUS (Saybolt Universal Seconds) of viscosity
throughout the operating temperature range. Ideally the viscosity at the normal
operating temperature should be between 100 and 300 SUS. Poor governor
response or instability is often an indication that the oil being used is too thick or
too thin.

Woodward 9
Integral EG Actuator for PG Governors Manual 36637
For more detailed information on the choice of governor oil, refer to manual
25071, Oils for Hydraulic Controls.

The recommended oil temperature for continuous governor operation is 60 to 93


C (140 to 200 F). Measure the oil temperature of the governor or actuator on
the outside lower part of the power case. The actual oil temperature will be about
6 C (10 F) higher. The governor is designed to operate in ambient temperatures
of +29 to +93 C (+20 to +200 F).

Oil Problems
A filter is located between the oil pump and the control pilot valve of the EG
actuator. Should this filter become clogged, it can seriously hinder the ability of
the actuator to control, even on the mechanical ballhead side. Take extra care
with the PG to be sure that oil is clean and that it does not deteriorate due to
heat.

Excessive component wear or seizure in a governor indicates the possibility of


insufficient lubrication caused by:
An oil that flows slowly when it's cold or at start-up;
High or low governor oil level;
Restrictions in oil lines to boosters or heat exchangers;
Contaminated oil (usually caused by dirty oil containers used when
transferring oil to the governor);
A governor exposed to heating and cooling cycles, creating condensation of
water in the oil;
Oil not suitable for the operating conditions.
Operating a governor continuously beyond the high-limit temperature of the oil
will result in oil oxidation. This is identified by varnish or sludge deposits on
governor parts. To reduce oil oxidation, lower the oil operating temperature with
a heat exchanger or other means, or change to an oil more oxidation resistant at
the operating temperature.

PG-governors operating with internal oil-pressures in excess of 1655 kPa (240


psi) often require a heat exchanger to protect the oil from damage.

 NOTE
Many governor problems are the result of improper selection or
improper maintenance of governor oil. The governor should be
serviced on a routine schedule. Develop the schedule with
consideration to the governor operating temperature and the
cleanliness of the atmosphere in which the governor operates.

! WARNING
A loss of stable governor control and possible engine overspeed may
result if oil viscosity exceeds the 50 to 3000 SUS range.

10 Woodward
Manual 36637 Integral EG Actuator for PG Governors

Governor Oil Service


Replace the governor oil if it is contaminated or if it is suspected of causing
governor problems. Drain the oil while it is still hot and agitated. Flush the
governor with kerosene or an equivalent solvent. If drain time is insufficient for
the solvent to completely drain or evaporate, flush with the same grade and
weight of oil which will be used to refill the governor. Discard the oil used to
flush out the solvent.

To avoid contamination of the governor, the replacement oil must be free of dirt,
water, or other foreign material. Use clean containers to store and transfer oil.
Refer persistent or recurring oil problems to an oil specialist.

After the oil is selected, fill the governor with new, clean oil, in the volumes
listed here: Type 12/29/58 (1.4 L/1.5 qt), Type 200/300 (6.2 L/6.5 qt), Type 500
(6.6 L/7.0 qt).

While the engine is not running, fill the governor to the maximum level
indication. During normal operation, this level should not drop below the
minimum level. Do not add oil when operating the governor.

PG-EG 200, 300, and 500 cases must be filled in two stages. Fill with about 4
liters/quarts before starting, then add the amount needed to bring the oil up to
operating levels after start-up. On these governors, there is an oil level dipstick
inside the fill port cap. On newer types, a small sight gauge glass has been added
onto the terminal shaft housing. Always use the dipstick for accurate oil level
readings. All other PG-EGs have an oil filler cup in the cover and a special long
oil gauge glass on the power case.

To prevent contamination of the flapper nozzle system, an oil filter has been
fitted to the oil feed line going to the EG actuator. Check this filter every time
the oil is changed, and clean if necessary.

Chapter 3
Principles of Operation

Flapper Nozzle System


The flapper nozzle system is basically a hydraulic amplifier which converts the
torque motor beam position through the pilot valve into a servo position. Pump
pressure oil is supplied to the interior of the pilot valve and lowered by the
pressure regulating valve into the regulated pressure at 690 kPa (100 psi). This
flow of 690 kPa oil is then directed onto the bottom of the control land and
through a dropping orifice (giving the pilot valve control pressure) to the top of
the same control land but with a larger surface. At the same time, pilot valve
control pressure oil is directed through a nozzle and sprays onto the bottom of
the torque motor beam (acting as the flapper).

The balance of these hydraulic pressures and forces positions the pilot valve in
the bushing and causes the pilot valve to follow the position of the torque motor
beam. To center the pilot valve in the bushing in steady state, the gap between
the flapper (the torque motor beam) and the nozzle is adjustable by means of the
center adjustment.

The control land of the pilot valve, balanced between the regulated pressure
below and the pilot valve control pressure above, provides a hydraulic
amplification of the position of the torque-motor beam. This permits accurate
positioning of the plunger in the bushing without having the bushing rotate to
eliminate static friction as is necessary in the mechanical pilot valve system.

Torque-motor System
The torque-motor system consists of an electromagnetic coil and a beam. On top
of the beam, an armature is mounted which is placed into the electromagnetic
field of the coil. The beam itself is suspended by a torsion spring, allowing a
small degree of rotation of the beam around the center of the torsion spring but
no translations.

The torque-motor beam is balanced between the restoring spring, the level-adjust
spring, and the torque from the torque-motor. With the system in steady state, the
pilot valve of the flapper nozzle system is centered and the servo is stationary.
By changing the current to the coil, the amount of torque on the armature
changes, and thus the torque on the torque-motor beam. This will change the gap
between the beam and the pilot valve, cause the pilot valve to follow the
movement of the beam, and allow oil to flow to or from the servo. The resultant
change in servo position causes the restoring lever to load or unload the restoring
spring, and thus restores the equilibrium of the torque-motor beam at the new
current level. The torque motor beam resumes its original position, and the gap
between the beam and the pilot valve will be restored to its original size with the
pilot valve centered.

Direct and Reverse Acting


The same set of springs may be set for either a direct- or reverse-acting actuator.
The only difference is the level to which the level-adjust spring is set, and the
wires to the torque-motor which are reversed.

Operation and Adjustments

Introduction
Because the PGA-EG and PGG-EG are each a combination of an electric
actuator and a ballhead governor, routine start-up adjustments can be more
complex than on other governors.

When installing or adjusting a PGA-EG/PGG-EG which has been taken off an


engine or has been repaired, make sure to understand if the governor is running
under control of the electronics or on the ballhead. Be sure of electronic control
when setting the dynamics of the electronic control system.

Centering Adjustment
The torque-motor/pilot valve relationship in the electric actuator is
calibrated at the factory and should not need readjustment unless the
torque motor, the pilot valve plunger, or the pilot valve bushing is replaced.
The adjustment is extremely sensitive and will change all other adjustments.

DO NOT TOUCH any of the calibration adjustments unless thoroughly


familiar with the electrical portions of the control. Complete calibration of
the actuator should not be attempted on the engine as overspeeding or other
dangers may occur during the calibration process.

It is absolutely vital that the armature/torque motor beam combination is


correctly centered between the magnets of the torque motor. If the tools to assist
this action are not available, do not attempt to do this.

If a torque motor has been disassembled, it may be necessary to re-magnetize the


magnets to ensure the torque motor will have enough power to allow all settings
to be made. Since measuring the amount of magnetism present is very difficult,
do not disassemble the magnet unless you are able to re-magnetize it afterwards.

! CAUTION
Use of the proper tools for the centering adjustment is essential to
proper control operation. These tools are available only in specially-
equipped workshops.

 NOTE
DO NOT DISASSEMBLE any part of the torque motor outside a
Woodward plant.

Adjustment of the Anti-rotation Device


On the PG-EG actuator with no ballhead, to prevent the feedback lever between
the tailrod and the actuator from becoming dislodged by vibration, an anti-
rotation device has been added. It consists of a steel plate mounted on the cover
of the torque motor which guides a pin protruding from the tailrod. Because of
the tolerance of the slot in which the pin moves up and down, and the thickness
of the plate, it is important that pin and plate are perpendicular to each other. To
adjust this, the mounting screws of the plate run through two slots, allowing the
plate to be positioned correctly.

If the guiding plate has been removed, assemble as follows.

1. Install the guiding plate and mount the screws by hand. Do not tighten the
screws but allow small adjustments.

2. First check visually if the plate is set perpendicular to the pin. Adjust this by
moving the plate in its slots until it is.

3. Now run the tailrod up and down. This will set the plate in the correct
position and ensure the slot and the tailrod are exactly parallel. Now tighten
the screws to a torque of 0.7-0.8 Nm (6-7 lb-in).

Mode Select Valve and Mode Indicating Switch

Mode Indicating Pressure Switch


To show the mode the governor is working in, a mode indicating pressure switch
is available.

Two switches are available:


one for use with 690896 kPa (100130 psi) pump pressure governors, with
a switch point of 586 kPa (85 psi);
one for use with 1379 kPa (200 psi) pump pressure governors, with a switch
point of 1276 kPa (185 psi).

The switch is mounted in one of two locations, depending on whether or not the
governor is equipped with a mode select valve.

No Mode Select Block


When the governor is not equipped with a mode select block, use the switch
mounting position available on the mode select block. For both 690 kPa/100 psi
and 1379 kPa/200 psi pump pressures, the resultant signals are:
pins A-C closed = pins A-B open = EG-mode;
pins A-B closed = pins A-C open = PG-mode.

24 Woodward
Manual 36637 Integral EG Actuator for PG Governors

Mode Select Block


When the governor is equipped with a mode select block, use only the position
available on the mode select block. Do not use the switch mounting position on
the connecting block in this case. For both 690 kPa/100 psi and 1379 kPa/200 psi
pump pressures, the resultant signals are:
pins A-C closed = pins A-B open = EG-mode;
pins A-B closed = pins A-C open = PG-mode.

Mode Select Valve


A mode select valve allows the operator to choose and influence the mode the
governor is controlling in. This can be done by means of either a manual,
electrical, or pneumatic signal to the mode select valve.

The valve has two modes:


Mechanical Control (or PG mode): The oil from the accumulator is routed
through the mode select valve to the ballhead pilot valve/compensation
system and into the servo.
Electrical Control (or EG mode): The oil from the accumulator is routed
through the mode select valve to the actuator pilot valve, back to the mode
select valve, and through the ballhead pilot valve/compensation system into
the servo.

 NOTE
In electrical mode, the actuator pilot valve and the ballhead pilot
valve are placed in series. In order for the governor to operate in this
mode, it is necessary to raise the mechanical speed setting over the
electrical speed setting, since this offset will open the ballhead pilot
valve and keep it out of the way. This speed difference should
amount to 5-10% of the maximum speed.

For more detail on the additional set-up conditions when used as a PGA-
EG/PGG-EG tracking ballhead with a Woodward control, please refer to
Woodward Application Note 50529, Matching PGA-EG Ballhead Speed to the
507 Speed Setting Signal.

! CAUTION
Under EG mode, the ballhead will still control if the PG speed setting
is lower than the EG.

The mode select valve consists of a pilot valve located in a block which is
mounted onto the side of the governor power case. Internal governor hydraulics
are routed through the block. When the pilot valve is driven against a return
spring, the valve will switch. When the driving force is removed, the spring
returns the pilot valve and the valve switches back. Two pilot valves are
available: a direct-acting one and a reverse-acting one.

Woodward 25
Integral EG Actuator for PG Governors Manual 36637
Five different methods are available to drive the mode select valve:

ManualTurning a knob clockwise directs pressure oil against the end of the
valve plunger and forces the plunger against the return spring to switch into PG
mode. Turning the manual knob counterclockwise connects the operating end of
the mode select valve plunger to drain, allowing the return spring to move the
plunger and switch to EG mode.

Direct ElectricalA 24 Vdc signal moves a solenoid valve to direct pressure


oil against the end of the direct-acting valve plunger and forces it against the
return spring to switch into PG mode. Removal of the electrical signal connects
the operating end of the valve plunger to drain, allowing the return spring to
move the plunger and switch to EG mode.

Reverse ElectricalA 24 Vdc signal moves a solenoid valve to direct pressure


oil against the end of the reverse-acting valve plunger and forces it against the
return spring to switch into EG mode. Loss or removal of the signal connects the
operating end of the valve plunger to drain, allowing the return spring to move
the plunger and switch to PG mode.

Direct PneumaticAir pressure drives a plunger which shuttles the direct-


acting mode select valve plunger against the return spring to switch into PG
mode. Removal or loss of air pressure will cause the return spring to move the
plunger back and switch to EG mode.

Reverse PneumaticAir pressure drives a plunger which shuttles the reverse-


acting mode select valve plunger against the return spring to switch into EG
mode. Removal or loss of air pressure will cause the return spring to move the
plunger back and switch to PG mode.
Maintenance
The mode select valve should require minimal or no maintenance. O-rings
should be replaced to eliminate possible oil leaks. The pneumatic, electric, or
manual actuator which sets the position of the pilot valve may be removed from
the housing for cleaning or repair.

! CAUTION
Do not attempt to disassemble any portion of the mode select valve
with the governor running. Pressure oil circulates in all parts of the
valve, and the governor will quit operating, and oil will be pumped
out of the governor should any part of the valve be loosened or
removed while the governor is running.

26 Woodward
Manual 36637 Integral EG Actuator for PG Governors

Applications
The ballhead governor and the electric-input actuator operate continually, with
each having its own desired fuel-output position. PGA-EG hydraulics select the
lesser of the two fuel outputs for the actual fuel output.

Setting up for reverse-acting means that the electronics in the control are
programmed for reverse-acting; the actuator must be calibrated to accept this
reverse signal. Loss of electrical signal to the actuator causes the actuator to call
for increased fuel, moving the output to increase until the ballhead takes over
control (remember that for correct actuator use, the mechanical speed setting
must be raised by 5-10%). This means that the reverse-acting setup of control
and governor results in automatic switching from electrical control to ballhead
control should electronic failure occur, although at a higher speed.

When control and actuator are set up for direct-acting, loss of electronic signal to
the actuator means that the actuator goes to minimum fuel. Since the ballhead is
set to a speed 5-10% above the electronic maximum speed, it cannot take over
control.

Manual 36684 Booster Servomotor

CHAPTER 1
GENERAL INFORMATION

INTRODUCTION This manual covers the three types of Woodward booster servomotor:
Low-volume, single-cylinder booster
Medium-volume, double-cylinder (tandem) booster
High-volume, two-stage booster

DESCRIPTION A booster servomotor supplies pressurized oil to mechanical-hydraulic governors


and electro-hydraulic actuators at the instant starting air reaches the engine. This
instant oil pressure eliminates the time required for the rotary gear pump in the
governor to build up enough oil pressure to move the linkage. This produces a
faster start, which conserves starting air, and in vessels with direct reversible
engines, improves maneuverability.

When the booster is inactive, a piston is held at one end of a cylinder by a spring.
The cylinder is full of oil supplied from a line from the governor's sump.

Compressed air applied to the side of the piston opposite this oil forces the piston
against the oil, which flows through ports at the other end of the cylinder to the
governor.

When air is removed from the piston, the spring returns the piston to its rest
position. Reduced pressure in the cylinder causes oil to flow into it from the sump.

Check valves at all oil ports allow oil to flow in only one direction. This prevents
oil in the booster from flowing back to the governor's sump when the booster
operates, and prevents oil in the booster outlet lines from flowing back into the
booster when it is inactive.

TYPES OF Boosters are available with different air-to-oil pressure ratios, making them
BOOSTERS suitable for both high and low air pressure applications:
Model Type Pressure Ratio
(Oil Out to Air In)
8901-037, -043 single-cylinder 1:1
8901-051 single-cylinder 2:1
8901-065 tandem 1:1
8901-067 tandem 2:1
8901-091 two-stage 2:1
8901-103 two-stage 3:1

Single-cylinder boosters supply enough oil for governors with small and medium
work outputs, such as UG-8/-40, EGB-10/-13, 3161, and PG governors with
outputs of 16 and 23 J (12 and 17 ft-lbs).

Woodward Governor Company 1


Booster Servomotor Manual 36684

Tandem boosters, with larger volumes of oil and three oil outlets, are appropriate
for PG-29/-58, EG-29/-58, and PG-TM 58 governors (39/79 J; 29/58 ft-lb).

Two-stage, high-volume boosters meet the boost oil requirements for PG, EGB,
and PG-TM governors with 271, 407, and 678 J (200, 300, and 500 ft-lb) power
cases.

Single-Cylinder (Figures 1-1 and 1-3)


Booster
Single-cylinder boosters have two oil outlets: one is unrestricted, and one has a
built-in orifice-type restriction. Outlet #1 (unrestricted) is connected directly to
the governor's oil pressure system. Outlet #2 (restricted) can be used to pressurize
the speed setting servo, which compresses the speeder spring of PGA, PGPL, and
PGG governors equipped with any shutdown feature.

A single-cylinder booster has two air inlets, one restricted and one unrestricted.
Using the restricted air inlet results in slower movement of the fuel rack.

Tandem Booster (Figures 1-2 and 1-4)

Tandem boosters have two cylinders and three oil outlets. Outlet #1 is
unrestricted. The other two outlets are restricted by an adjustable needle valve.

Oil outlet #1 is connected to the governor's accumulator. Outlet #2 is connected to


the speed setting servo (of PGA, PGPL, and PGG governors equipped with any
shutdown feature). Outlet #3 is connected to a point directly under the power
piston.

If outlet #2 is used, its needle valve determines the rate at which the speeder
spring is compressed. The needle valve in outlet #3 controls the rate at which the
power piston moves.

Two-Stage (Figures 1-5, 2-4, and 3-3)


Booster
Two-stage boosters have three oil outlets, but a two-stage feature allows oil to
flow through outlet #2 before it flows through the other two outlets.

In most applications, outlet #1 supplies oil to the power piston in the governor.
Outlet #2 supplies oil to the speed setting servo (of PGA, PGPL, and PGG
governors equipped with any shutdown feature). Outlet #3 supplies oil to the relay
piston.

CHAPTER 2
INSTALLING AND ADJUSTING A BOOSTER SERVOMOTOR

GENERAL Observe the following rules when you install a Woodward booster servomotor.
RULES

Location Install the booster servomotor at a lower level than the governor to prevent air
from being trapped in the booster and oil lines.

Oil Lines Oil lines must slope up from the booster to the governor with a minimum of loops
and bends.

Oil Leakage It is not unusual for small oil particles (from assembly oil) to come out of the vent
hole at initial use of the booster and after several starts in a row, due to oil
particles in the bleed air.

Starting-Air Valve A starting-air valve (supplied by the customer) must be installed in the air line to
the booster. This valve must admit compressed air to the booster at the same time
that starting air is supplied to the engine, and it must vent the air cylinder of the
booster to atmosphere when starting air is removed from the engine. Air pressure
at the booster air inlet must not exceed 3500 kPa (500 psi).

CAUTION
Purge air from the booster's oil chamber, the tubing, and the
governor before starting the engine, by cycling the booster piston
with start-air or air from a separate source. Failure to purge air
completely may result in sluggish governor response.

INSTALLING AND Models 8901-037, -043, and -051 (Figures 1-3, 2-1, and 2-2)
ADJUSTING A
SINGLE Refer to the general rules at the beginning of this section.
CYLINDER
BOOSTER Figures 2-1 and 2-2 show locations of inlet and outlet ports on Woodward
governors with which a single-cylinder booster can be used. Figure 1-3 shows
locations of ports and the stroke limit screw on a single-cylinder booster.

Install 10 mm (3/8 inch) steel tubing from the sump of the governor to the oil inlet
on the booster.

Install 6 mm (1/4 inch) steel tubing from oil outlet #1 on the booster to the power
piston (the inlet marked "OIL FROM BOOSTER OUTLET-1") of the governor.

Booster Servomotor Manual 36684

If the governor is a PGA, PGPL, or PGG equipped with any shutdown feature,
install 6 mm (1/4 inch) steel tubing from oil outlet #2 on the booster to the speed
setting servo (the inlet marked "OIL FROM BOOSTER OUTLET-2) of the
governor. Otherwise, plug outlet #2 (this plus is delivered with the booster).

Connect a line containing an air-starting valve from the starting-air supply to the
appropriate air inlet on the booster. Use the inlet with the built-in orifice if you
want to move the fuel racks at a slower rate. The other air inlet needs to be
plugged.

Fill the governor with oil to the proper level (refer to the installation manual for
the governor).

When all air and oil connections are secure, purge air from the booster and oil
lines by cycling air to the booster from a remote source without cranking the
engine. Add oil to the governor as needed.

When there is no more air in the booster and oil lines, set the initial opening of the
fuel racks by adjusting the stroke of the booster piston. Turn the stroke limit screw
counterclockwise to increase starting fuel, and clockwise to decrease it. This
screw limits the intake stroke of the booster and the volume of oil supplied to the
governor in one stroke of the booster servomotor.

NOTE
On PGA governors, decals indicating where to connect lines from the
booster do NOT apply to tandem boosters. Refer to Figure 2-3 when
connecting a tandem booster to a PGA governor.

Refer to the general rules at the beginning of this section.

Figure 2-3 shows locations of outlet and inlet ports on governors with which a
tandem booster can be used. Figure 1-4 shows locations of stroke limit screws and
ports on a tandem booster.

Connect 10 mm (3/8 inch) steel tubing from the sump of the governor to the oil
inlet on the booster; and from oil outlet #1 of the booster to the accumulator of the
governor.

On PGA, PGPL, and PGG governors equipped with any shutdown feature,
connect 6 mm (1/4 inch) steel tubing from oil outlet #2 on the booster to the speed
setting servo of the governor.

8 Woodward Governor Company


Manual 36684 Booster Servomotor

On PGA, PGPL, and PGG governors, connect 6 mm (1/4 inch) steel tubing from
oil outlet #3 on the booster to the power piston of the governor.

Connect a line with an air-starting valve from the starting-air supply to the air inlet
on the booster.

Plug the unused oil outlet and air inlet (these plugs are delivered with the booster).

Fill the governor with oil to the correct level (refer to the installation manual for
the governor).

When all oil and air connections are secure, purge air from the booster and oil
lines by cycling air to the booster from a remote source without cranking the
engine. Add more oil to the governor as needed.

When there is no more air in the booster and oil lines, limit the volume of oil
going to the governor by adjusting the two stroke limit screws. The positions of
these screws determine the maximum volume of oil supplied by the booster. This,
in turn, determines the maximum travel of the fuel racks. Turn the screws
clockwise to reduce the travel of the racks, and counterclockwise to increase the
travel.

Adjust the needle valves in oil outlets #2 and #3. If outlet #2 is used, its needle
valve controls the rate of oil flow to the speeder spring servo, which determines
how fast the speeder spring servo moves. The needle valve in outlet #3 controls
the rate at which the power piston moves. Turn the needle valve clockwise to
restrict oil flow, and counterclockwise to increase flow.

NOTE
Outlets #2 and #3 are connected to separate cylinders. Outlet #1 is
connected to both cylinders, with check valves preventing flow
between the cylinders. Unequal amounts of oil will flow through the
two outlets if the stroke limit screws are adjusted unequally. It is
usually best to adjust both of these screws the same distance, and
regulate the rate of oil flow through outlets #2 and #3 with their
respective needle valves.

NOTE
On PGA, PGPL, and PGG governors, decals indicating where to
connect lines from the booster do NOT apply to two-stage boosters.
Refer to Figure 2-4 when connecting a two-stage booster to a PGA,
PGPL, or PGG governor.

Refer to the general rules at the beginning of this section.

Connect 12 mm (1/2 inch) steel tubing from the sump of the governor to the oil
inlet port on the booster, and from oil outlet #1 on the booster to the power piston
of the governor.

On PGA, PGPL, and PGG governors equipped with any shutdown feature,
connect 8 mm (5/16 inch) steel tubing from oil outlet #2 on the booster to the
speed setting servo of the governor.

Connect 8 mm (5/16 inch) steel tubing from oil outlet #3 on the booster to the
relay piston of the governor.

NOTE
If you have an EGB-200, -300, or -500 actuator, leave oil outlet #3 of
the booster plugged and loosen the plug in outlet #2. Turn the shuttle
piston adjusting screw fully clockwise, thereby opening up the
passage to outlet #1 (otherwise, the booster servomotor remains
inactive). Tighten the plug in outlet #2.

Connect a line with an air-starting valve from the starting-air supply to the air inlet
on the booster.

Fill the governor with oil to the correct level (refer to the installation manual of
the governor).

When all air and oil connections are secure, purge air from the booster and oil
lines by cycling air from a remote source to the booster without cranking the
engine. Add oil to the governor as needed.

When there is no more air in the booster and oil lines, regulate the volume of oil
going to the governor by adjusting the stroke limit screw. If you are not using an
EGB-200, -300, or -500 actuator, adjust the shuttle piston adjusting screw and the
needle valve in oil outlet #3.

10 Woodward Governor Company


Manual 36684 Booster Servomotor

Remember that:
The stroke limit screw limits the volume of oil going to the governor
through oil outlets #1 and #3. This controls the maximum amount of fuel
output during a booster-assisted start.
If you use outlet #2, the shuttle piston adjusting screw limits the volume
of oil going to the speed setting servo through oil outlet #2.
The needle valve limits the rate of flow of oil through oil outlet #3; this
controls the rate at which the output shaft of the governor moves. The
needle valve setting also limits the stroke of the power piston in the
governor.

Turn the stroke limit screw clockwise to reduce the volume of oil to the governor
and fuel to the engine, and counterclockwise to increase volume.

Turn the needle valve clockwise to reduce the rate and volume of oil flow, and
counterclockwise to increase the rate and volume.

CHAPTER 3
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

HOW SINGLE-CYLINDER AND TANDEM BOOSTERS OPERATE

First Phase of Operation

Refer to Figure 3-1 (Figure 3-1 represents a single-


cylinder booster; a tandem booster has two pistons and
three oil outlets, but its principle of operation is the
same).

When compressed air enters the booster, the piston(s)


moves up, forcing oil through the outlets to the
governor's pressurized oil system. The governor's
power piston moves to increase fuel.

A check valve in the oil inlet prevents oil from flowing


from the booster back to the sump in the governor.

Figure 3-1. Single Booster, Phase 1

Second Phase of Operation

Refer to Figure 3-2 (Figure 3-2 represents a single


cylinder booster; a tandem booster has two pistons and
three oil outlets, but its principle of operation is the
same).

When starting air is removed, the booster is vented to


atmosphere through the starting-air valve (customer
supplied) in the booster's air line. Spring force returns
the booster's piston(s) to the original position. Oil stops
flowing out of the booster. Reduced pressure in the
booster causes sump oil to flow back into the booster.
The booster is ready to start again.

Check valves in the oil outlets prevent oil from flowing


back through the oil outlets into the booster.

Figure 3-2. Single Booster, Phase 2

Woodward Governor Company 17


Booster Servomotor Manual 36684

HOW A TWO-STAGE BOOSTER OPERATES

First Phase of Operation

When compressed air enters the booster, the main


piston moves to the right, forcing oil to the shuttle
piston cavity and moving the shuttle piston up. The
shuttle piston forces oil through oil outlet #2 and blocks
oil outlets #1 and #3.

The shuttle piston adjusting screw limits the stroke of


the shuttle piston, which limits the amount of oil
supplied through oil outlet #2.
Figure 3-3. Two-Stage Booster, Phase 1

Second Phase of Operation

When the shuttle piston reaches the end of its stroke, it uncovers the passages to
outlets #1 and #3, and oil flow through outlet #2 ceases. Oil remaining in the
booster flows through outlets #1 and #3 to the relay and power pistons in the
governor, moving them to increase fuel.

The needle valve in outlet #3 limits the amount of oil


that goes through this outlet and its rate of flow. This, in
turn, limits the stroke of the power piston in the
governor and the rate at which fuel is supplied to the
engine.

The stroke limit screw limits the stroke of the main


booster piston, which limits the total amount of oil
supplied to the governor by the booster.

Check valves prevent oil from flowing from the booster


into the governor's sump.
Figure 3-4. Two-Stage Booster, Phase 2

Third Phase of Operation

The air side of the main piston is vented to atmosphere


through the starting-air valve. Spring forces return the
main booster piston and shuttle piston to their original
positions. Reduced pressure in the booster causes sump
oil to flow back into the booster.

Check valves prevent oil from flowing into the booster


from the oil outlet lines.

SERVICE OPTIONS

PRODUCT The following are the factory options available for the service of Woodward
SERVICE equipment:
OPTIONS
Replacement/Exchange (3-year warranty) (24-hour service)
Flat Rate Repair (6-month warranty)
Flat Rate Remanufacture (3-year warranty)

If you are experiencing problems with installation or unsatisfactory performance


of an installed system, the following options are available:
Consult the system troubleshooting guide in this section.
Contact Woodward technical assistance (see HOW TO CONTACT
WOODWARD later in this chapter) and discuss your problem. In most
cases, your problem can be resolved over the phone. If not, you can select
which course of action you wish to pursue based on the available services
listed in this section.

Replacement/ Replacement/Exchange is a premium program designed for the user who is in


Exchange need of immediate service. It allows the user to request and receive a like-new
replacement unit in minimum time (usually within 24 hours of the request),
providing a suitable unit is available at the time of the request, thereby minimizing
costly downtime. This is also a Flat Rate structured program and includes the full
3-year warranty.

This option allows customers to call in advance of a scheduled outage or an


unexpected outage and request a replacement control unit. If the unit is available
at the time of the call, it can usually be shipped out within 24 hours. The customer
replaces his field control unit with the like-new replacement and returns the field
unit to the Woodward facility as explained later in this chapter.

Charges for the Replacement/Exchange service are based on a flat rate plus
shipping expenses. The customer is invoiced the flat rate charge at the time the
replacement unit is shipped and must return the field unit to Woodward within 30
days. If the unit is not received within that time frame, the customer is invoiced
the difference between the flat rate replacement/exchange charge and the current
list price of a new unit.

Return Shipment Authorization Label. To ensure prompt receipt of the core,


and avoid additional charges, the package must be properly marked. A return
authorization label is included with every Replacement/Exchange unit that leaves
Woodward. The core should be repackaged and the return authorization label
affixed to the outside of the package. Without the authorization label, receipt of
the returned core could be delayed and cause additional charges to be applied.
