PC and communicates with the SPC through a serial connection. The serial port connector is a 9-pin sub-D socket and uses a straight-through cable to connect to the PC. Woodward offers a USB to 9-pin Serial Adapter kit if needed for new computers that do not have a 9-pin serial connector (P/N 8928-463).
This bracket’s design allows users to first attach the SPC to the bracket, then install the entire assembly onto a cabinet side panel. Please refer to Figure 2-1. Woodward...
A shield termination is provided at the terminal block for each of the signals. All of these inputs should be wired using shielded, twisted-pair wiring. The exposed wire length beyond the shield should be limited to one 25 mm (1 inch). The shield should be terminated at only one end in order to avoid creating a ground loop. Woodward...

The lag block reduces overshoot when the position demand changes faster than the actuator can respond. Ideally, the lag exactly matches the response of the actuator and therefore no change is required out of the Ki/s block. Woodward...
This Control selects the sense of the error signal in the controller. For example, when the demanded position exceeds the actual position (positive error), a forward-acting controller drives the output more positive, while a reverse- acting controller drives the output more negative. Woodward...
An SPC adjusted to an over-damped condition will have slower response and better stability. It is less susceptible to instability due to changes in the system. The ideal adjustment is a critically damped condition. This produces the best stability and response combination. Refer to Manual 83402 PID Control for additional information on tuning the control. Woodward...

This step defines the 0 % position point. Alarm and shutdown conditions are checked by the SPC during this step, but a shutdown will not force the actuator current to zero. Use the Null Current Offset to adjust the actuator to the Minimum position. Position value is not valid until calibrated. Figure 4-34. Introduction Woodward...

Latched alarms and shutdowns can be reset by pressing the Reset Alarms and Shutdowns button from either page. See also: Understanding Alarms and Shutdowns. An Alphabetical List of SPC Alarms and Shutdowns is at the end of this chapter. Woodward...
Performing a “Reset Alarms and Shutdowns” on the SPC when it is in the shutdown condition will cause it to restore current to the actuator and attempt to position the actuator. If the cause of the shutdown has not been corrected, the SPC will shut down again. Woodward...

Addressing can support up to 31 devices. To meet the 10 ms timing requirement, only 10 devices can be used at 500 kbaud. NMT Master Functions There are four distinct functions the master can perform. The slave units will respond to these functions. NMT Block Diagram (Woodward Implementation) Start All Nodes Operating State Start All Nodes...
The NMT master will transmit "Start All Nodes" broadcast message every 1 Sec. By sending this message at a periodical cycle we make sure that nodes that are added or power cycles will go back to the operational state without having to reset the NMT Master. Woodward...
All SDO data will be requested when the NMT master goes from Pre-Operational to Operational. Woodward gives the designed application the option to request all this information under application control. This is to make sure that when the slave devices are powered, cycled, or added, their information is updated.
The master error detection is the same as the slave error detection with the exception it will look to the fast message from slave to determine if the communication is failed. Again, the system integrator must determine if the timeout time is acceptable for the system/turbine. Woodward...
To make sure the CAN bus is not overloaded, the NMT master must send slow messages at a rate that will allow all messages to be sent and received. Woodward spaces the messages so that all slaves are addressed once every 750 ms.
# of data byte in slow message: # of SDO messages per 10 ms: # of SDO bytes: CAN link running at: 500 KBits = 2 µs per bit Frame Rate: 10 ms Max number of SPCs: Message overhead is: 51 Bits Woodward...
