Programmable Features; Service Tool Software - Woodward ProAct P Series FL Installation, Programming, And Troubleshooting Manual

Manual 26659
The P-Series FL replaces the circular connector with terminal blocks to allow a
shorter overall actuator length and provide flexibility in wiring, as only the needed
wires are hooked up. The wiring (provided by the customer) exits the side of the
actuator through an M12 and/or M16 threaded port(s) using cable glands or
conduit. Note that there is not space for all connections, so if all wiring is needed,
it is necessary to use the ProAct P-Series FL with the circular connector.
Actuator setup and tuning is accomplished through the use of a PC (personal
computer), Woodward Service Tool software, and a programming harness. The
features identified below are described in Chapters 2 and 4. Briefly, the
programmable features include:

General Setup
o Direction (CCW or CW)
o Fail Position

Position Controller
o Dynamics (friction & inertia)
o Position Error magnitude & delay
o Non-Linear actuator settings

Position Demand
o Position Demand Select (Primary/Backup; CAN, PWM or Analog)
o Tracking options

PWM Input scaling, failure levels, offset

Analog Input scaling and failure levels

Analog Output selection & scaling

Discrete Output Settings
o Output's Non-Fault Condition (ON or OFF)
o Fault Selections as Discrete Output Indications

Fault Settings
o Latching or Non-Latching Fault Indications
o Fault Selections as Alarms or Shutdowns

CAN (J1939)
o CAN Data Rate
o CAN ID input selections
o Demand Failure Timeout
o Data PGN, Command PGN, Source address, Function Field
The ProAct P-Series FL Service Tool software is a Microsoft Windows based
GUI (graphic user interface). The Service Tool Software is compatible with
Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7 (32- and 64-bit) or greater and provides the ability to:

Configure product settings based on application requirements

Tune the actuator with the engine running during application development

Create configuration files for downloading into multiple controls

Download configuration files

Extract and view fault codes for field diagnosis

Update actuator dynamics during field service

Calibrate the actuator for user stops
Detailed descriptions of software installation are available in Chapter 4.
