ESD bag, at least until it is grounded. Power Requirements The 2300E control requires a voltage source of 18 to 36 Vdc, with a current capacity of at least 600 mA for operating power. If a battery is used for operating power, an alternator or other battery charging device is necessary to maintain a stable supply voltage.
For example, relay contact wiring and electric motor drive or ignition system wiring should be at least 30 cm (12 inches) from any 2300E wiring. And for example, analog inputs/output wiring should be separated from power wiring by at least 15 cm (6 inches).
(exception, see note below on cabinet installations). Shields can be grounded at both ends (2300E and load) if the cable length is sufficiently short (i.e., within a cabinet, less than about 10 m straight line between the ground points) to prevent ground loop current in the shield.
The control uses the equation Power = 3 * V * I * P.F. where V = Voltage, I = current, and P.F. = Power Factor. In the 2300E, the PT Voltage part of the equation is deemed to be constant. Therefore if the Voltage on the system changes, the calculated Power will change a small amount.
PT/CT circuits. Discrete Inputs (Terminals 34–41) Discrete inputs are the switch or contact input commands to the 2300E control. They interact in such a way as to allow engine control and power management under a variety of conditions.
Manual 26691 2300E Digital Control In systems that provide an external low voltage source to power the 2300E control, the discrete inputs may be powered by this external low voltage. The voltage source used must be capable of supplying 100 mA at a voltage level of 18 to 36 Vdc.
+12 Vdc or +24 Vdc source connected at terminals 42(+) and 43(–). The Relay Driver Output pins are: #1(44), #2(43), #3(46), and #4(47). The relay driver section is isolated from the internal power supplies of the 2300E control, but all drivers share a single common.
These ports are on a common return and are isolated ports. The RS-232 serial communication service port communicates using either the 2300E Toolkit Service Tool or the Control Assistant software. Refer to Figure 2-2 for plant wiring information.
The RS-422 specifications state that a common/RS-422 ground wire is needed if there is no other ground path between units. The RS-422 on the 2300E is isolated, so there is no other path for common other than wiring to the pin.
Manual 26691 2300E Digital Control If the total cabling is > 30 m (typical), the preferred shield connection is to connect the shield to earth ground (chassis) at one point (most critical port), using a capacitor to terminate the shield at the remaining ports. If the total cabling is <...
The CAN Port is electrically isolated from all other circuits in the 2300E, requiring a common to be wired between this port and other ports on the CAN network.

Also, both the “thick” and “thin” DeviceNet cables have wire insulation and wire size that is not compatible with the 2300E connectors. When using DeviceNet cables outside a vibration damped enclosure, use the “Thick”...
The next best alternative is to use a very short drop line from the trunk into the 2300E. Special ‘T’ connectors (Tap in the diagram above) are available from multiple manufacturers to ease the wiring harness manufacture.
In order to allow the possibility of removing and inserting a unit onto a running network, the CAN termination network is not included inside the 2300E control. An external CAN termination network must be provided. As a rule, no matter how many units are on a network, there should never be more than two network terminations installed.

CAN Port Wiring The CAN Port may be used for off-engine wiring to control rooms. It is electrically isolated from all other circuits in the 2300E. Isolation used on this port is SELV rated for product safety requirements. Wiring length restrictions depend on the baud rate used. Table 2-3 is appropriate for CANopen, at the 4 supported baud rates.
Manual 26691 2300E Digital Control Installation Check-out Procedure With the installation completed as described in this section, perform the following check-out procedure. Visual Inspection 1. Check the linkage between the actuator and the prime mover for looseness or binding. Refer to the appropriate actuator manual and to manual 25070, Electric Governor Installation Guide, for additional information on the linkage.
GAP Software Woodward’s GAP 3.x is a Windows based software program that allows controls engineers to create block format application programs for the 2300E. Once the control logic is entered using the program’s graphical programming environment, the GAP software compiler function generates code that runs in the control.

RAM of 45 Kbytes, leaving about 35 Kbytes. A suggestion when programming the 2300E would be to not use all of the Rate Groups available. In the Standard 2301E application, only two rate groups were used 5 mSec and 80 mSec.
Woodward Control Assistant or Servlink OPC Server can be used to download a new application GAP compiled program into the 2300E. The 2300E default baud rate is 115200, which can be entered in the SOS Servlink OPC Server window or it will automatically detect the correct baud rate.
