Note also that all Speed and Rate values are shown as magnetic pick-up Hertz values (parameters 2-4, 14-16, 26-31, 33). Changing the No. of Flywheel Teeth will cause different default values to be displayed based on the Hertz to RPM formula described in subsection 3.1 below. Woodward...

PID terms. In other words, if any of the PID terms or the overall gain terms reach their adjustment limits then this value can be modified to provide for more range of adjustment in the PID and OVG terms. Woodward...
This rate specifies how fast the controller should increase the engine’s speed when a new higher target speed is made active. The parameter value is specified in MPU (magnetic pickup) Hz per second based on the following formula. [(higher_speed_in_Hertz) – (lower_speed_in_Hertz)] / (ramp_time_in_seconds) = accel_rate_value Woodward...
Idle Speed and the Idle Hold Time is nonzero, the startup ramp sequence ends when the Idle Speed is reached. Then the Decel Rate is used to ramp the engine speed down to the target speed from the Idle Speed. Woodward...
Increasing the value allows the actuator to open further. The value assigned to the torque limit parameter is in units of one-tenth of a percent of the actuator’s maximum current feedback reading. The controller measures actuator drive-signal feedback and obtains an approximation of the Woodward...
99% down to 10% in 1% increments. CAUTION—Use carefully, as improper use can prevent the controller from ever reaching the target speed. The first line of defense in reducing overspeed or under speed errors is a well-tuned controller via the PID terms. Woodward...
The full load calibration value must be greater than the no load calibration value for proper droop operation. If after performing the Droop Calibration Procedure the full load calibration value is less than the no load calibration value then the droop function cannot be used. Some actuators may Woodward...
The parameter’s value is set as a frequency in Hertz or as an RPM value depending on whether the No. of Flywheel Teeth parameter is zero or nonzero respectively. The default value of 15,000 Hertz is used to disable over speed detection. Woodward...
The duty cycle limit parameter sets the absolute maximum amount of drive signal that can be output to the actuator and thus serves as a mechanism for fuel limiting. Fuel limiting is achieved by setting the maximum duty cycle or ontime 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.

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...
To use Droop, a calibration sequence must be done first. On DPG-2201-001 Models the calibration sequence can be done only by using the controller’s built-in user interface. On DPG-2201-002 Models the calibration sequence can be done by using either the controller’s built-in user interface or Universal PST. Woodward...

NOTE—All cabling for DPG 2201-00X controllers is limited to less than 30m (98.4’). Power cabling is limited to less than 10m (32.8’) in total length. The wiring diagrams below show specific cable types required. DPG-2201-001 & DPG-2201-002 Dimensions are in inches. Figure 1. Wiring Diagram for DPG-2201-001 and DPG-2201-002 Woodward...
Integral too low or zero Engine Does Not Reach Derivative too low or zero Set Speed PID values are too low. A tuning that is too soft can prevent the controller from delivering the needed actuator drive signal to reach the set speed. Woodward...
