If the unit is a turbine type 1, 2, or 3, this is the point at which the 505XT will can be transitioned from speed control to ratio-limiter control. In ratio limiter control both the HP and LP valves are controlled to maintain 2 different parameters, selectable by the user.
Zero Speed Signal Override The 505XT issues a shutdown if no speed signal is detected (magnetic pickup voltage less than 1 Vrms or speed is less than the ‘Failed Speed Level’). To allow the control to start with speed not being sensed, this shutdown logic must be overridden.
Figure 3-2. Speed Probe mounting for Detection Test To enable the 505XT to calculate the direction of rotation – two speed signals must be used and should be mounted in an orientation as shown above, with approximately 90 degrees between them. This will work with both passive and active types of probes, however both channels must be configured as the same type of probe.
Detecting Zero Speed To enable the 505XT to detect zero speed – an active speed probe signal must be used. The option to enable this detection feature is found on speed input channel 1. If a second active speed probe is used, the logic will require that the second probe also detects zero speed.
Service Mode). This time starts when the RUN command is initiated and re-arms the loss-of-speed detection when the time expires. The 505XT will execute a system shutdown if turbine speed is not above the ‘Failed Speed Level’ setting when the time expires.
Manual 35018V1 505XT Digital Control System for Steam Turbines 2. Issue a START command (verify T&T valve is closed before issuing) a. At this point the 505 will ramp open the governor valve to its maximum position at the ‘Valve Limiter Rate’.
Manual 35018V1 505XT Digital Control System for Steam Turbines Raise the 505’s VALVE LIMITER at a controlled rate. When turbine speed increases to the minimum controlling speed, the 505’s Speed PID will take control of turbine speed by controlling turbine inlet valve position.
These bands may be any speed range that is less than the minimum governor speed setting. Within a critical speed range, the 505XT moves the speed set point at the critical speed rate programmed and does not allow the speed set point to stop within the critical speed avoidance band.

Manual 35018V1 505XT Digital Control System for Steam Turbines Figure 3-10. Speed Control Functional Diagram Speed PID Operational Modes The Speed PID operates in one of the following modes, depending on configuration and system conditions: 1. Speed Control 2. Frequency Control 3.
Page 67
Manual 35018V1 505XT Digital Control System for Steam Turbines The Speed PID operates in the Frequency control mode when the generator breaker is closed and the utility tie breaker is open. In the Frequency control mode, the unit will operate at the same speed or frequency regardless of the load it is supplying (up to the unit’s load capability).
Manual 35018V1 505XT Digital Control System for Steam Turbines Figure 3-11. Speed PID Control Modes The term “droop” was derived from an isolated unit’s speed reaction to an increase in load when another parameter (unit load) is fed back to a Speed PID’s summing junction. The Droop term, as used throughout this manual refers to a PID’s second controlling parameter.
Manual 35018V1 505XT Digital Control System for Steam Turbines Figure 3-12. Frequency and Unit Load Relationship Because the 505’s Speed PID and set point are used to control turbine speed and a second parameter, this second parameter (unit load) is normalized to allow all three terms (speed, set point, unit load) to be summed together within the PID summing junction.
Page 70
Woodward Power Management product/device via a digital communication link (Woodward Links). To configure the 505 for turbine valve position control when paralleled to an infinite bus, uncheck the ‘Use KW Droop’ option. The generator load or turbine inlet valve position droop percentage cannot be set greater that 10%, and is typically set to 5%.
Manual 35018V1 505XT Digital Control System for Steam Turbines Figure 3-13. Speed Relationships Once turbine speed is equal to or greater than the ‘Min Governor Speed Set Point’ setting, the speed set point may be adjusted through discrete raise and lower commands. When a raise or lower speed command is issued, the set point moves at the programmed ‘Speed Set Point Slow Rate’.

If the 505XT Cascade controller is also controlling the compressor suction pressure, it will then respond to this pressure change, resulting in the two controllers temporarily affecting (fighting) each other.
Page 80
505XT Digital Control System for Steam Turbines The 505XT is capable of being configured to use an analog input (feed-forward signal) from an anti-surge controller. This input allows the 505XT controller to decouple the response of its Speed and Cascade PID controls from that of the anti-surge controller, allowing for increased system stability in all conditions.
Manual 35018V1 505XT Digital Control System for Steam Turbines Figure 3-15. Typical Anti-surge Valve and Speed Feed-Forward Logic Trend Cascade Control The Cascade control can be configured to control any system process, related to or affected by turbine speed or load. Typically this controller is configured and used as a turbine inlet, or exhaust pressure controller.
Manual 35018V1 505XT Digital Control System for Steam Turbines Figure 3-16. Cascade Functional Diagram Since Cascade is a secondary speed setting function, the Speed PID must be in control of the 505’s LSS bus in order for Cascade to take control. When the 505 is configured for a generator application, both the utility tie and generator breakers must be closed, before the Cascade PID can begin controlling a process.
Page 83
Manual 35018V1 505XT Digital Control System for Steam Turbines Cascade control is automatically disabled on a shutdown condition, and must be re-enabled after a successful system start-up. Cascade control is disabled if Remote Speed Set Point is used and enabled.

Page 85
Manual 35018V1 505XT Digital Control System for Steam Turbines Remote Cascade Set Point If desired, the Cascade set point can be positioned through an analog signal. Optionally, one of the 505’s six analog inputs can be programmed to position the Cascade PID set point. This allows the Cascade set point to be positioned remotely by a process control or distributed plant control system.
Exhaust Steam Pressure Each of these inputs is a 4 to 20 mA current signal (the KW/Load could be from a ‘Woodward Links’ digital communication link). The PID control amplifier compares this input signal with the Auxiliary set point to produce a control output to the digital LSS (low-signal select) bus. The LSS bus sends the lowest signal to the actuator driver circuitry.

In simple terms the 505 has 2 control valves so therefore it can control 2 parameters as long as neither a parameter or a valve has reached a limit. Prior to configuring the 505XT control it is important to understand which parameters are planned to be controlled by the 505 for the specific plant/process steam turbine application.
Page 105
Ratio Limiter Functionality The 505XT Ratio/Limiter receives four input signals: Speed, Extraction, Inlet, and Exhaust demands. Only two of the inputs are used in control of the HP and LP valves at one time. The ratio logic uses these two active input signals to produce two output signals, one to control the HP actuator, and one to control the LP actuator.
