SET SPEED A or SET SPEED B depending on the state of the SPEED SEL input terminal. The default value for IDLE SPEED is 500 MPU Hertz (20 Hertz ignition). The IDLE SPEED parameter’s adjustable range extends from IDLE SPEED MIN to IDLE SPEED MAX. Woodward...
A zero value is allowed but systems When the "Rate of change" changes (red dot) the Derivative' s impact on controller output changes. typically require some derivative gain to improve overall engine speed control. Woodward...
PID tuning difficult. But, keep in mind the following. • Too much filtering will slow down the controller’s response to speed changes. • Too little filtering can make the controller overly sensitive and tuning difficult. Woodward...
The Decel Rate specifies how fast the controller should decrease the engine’s speed when a new lower target speed is made active. The parameter value is specified in Hertz per second based on the following formula. [(higher_speed_in_Hertz) – (lower_speed_in_Hertz)] / (ramp_time_in_seconds) = decel_rate_value Woodward...
The integral low limit specifies the PWM duty cycle where the integrator’s influence on lowering PID output must stop. The default value is 0%. The value can be adjusted from 0% to 90% in 1% increments. Woodward...
The parameter’s value is in terms of a percentage over the highest set speed. In other words, an over speed condition is detected if the engine speed reaches a speed of [OVER SPEED LIMIT %] greater than the highest set speed. Woodward...
3.25 Idle Speed Min (optional) Idle Speed Min is used to set the lowest value allowed for Idle Speed adjustments. The adjustable range for Idle Speed Min extends from 10 Hertz (2 Hertz ignition) to the current value of Idle Speed. Woodward...

Introduction The Universal Parameter Setup Tool (Universal PST) is a Microsoft® Windows® application available from Woodward that enables you to adjust controller parameter settings and monitor controller operation. Universal PST also includes a graphical chart recorder that displays engine speed in real-time. This provides a visual representation of how the engine speed changes in response to changes in load, which can be very helpful when tuning the controller.
Download to begin the download process. Once you are logged into the Woodward download site you are presented with the File Download dialog box shown below, or one similar. Click the [Save] button and choose a folder to save the download to.
CD then double click on the “setup.exe” file. Instructions to Install from the Downloaded File: The file downloaded from the Woodward web site contains two files: “ReadMeFirst.txt” and “setup.exe”. Run the downloaded file to extract its contents to a folder you choose on your computer’s hard drive.
• Press the <Read All> button to refresh the values displayed in the Parameter Setup panel. • Press the <Write All> button to transmit setup values to the controller. • Press the <View Status> button to display read only parameters in the Status View panel. Woodward...

The Chart Recorder Signal Filtering options can be used to smooth out noisy signals. The default setting is Min, which is no filtering. Note that filtering will round out peaks and give a less accurate display of the speeds actually measured by the DPG. Woodward...
Use the <View Table> button to return to the Table View display mode. Be sure to open a new Data File before returning to Table View if the data already collected needs to be saved. The active data file is automatically reset each time the Chart View display mode becomes active. Woodward...
Add some integral to eliminate any steady-state error in the engine’s speed and help decrease error recovery time. The overall gain can be increased to improve response time while keeping the ratios of the PID terms relative to each other constant. Woodward...
