(DLE) systems, or other applications where high accuracy and dynamic performance are required. The EM-35 digital driver is housed in a watertight, corrosion resistant, sheet metal enclosure. EM-35 Driver Operation See Figure 1-1 for the EM-35 functional block diagram. The EM-35 digital driver system consists of a position controller module and the driver.
Power Requirements The EM-35 driver requires a 28 Vdc, 25 A input power supply. The maximum steady state driver input current is 4.5 A continuous with 25 A peak for 50 ms.
Woodward Governor Company for more information. Plant Wiring Figures 2-2 and 2-3 are the plant wiring diagrams for the EM-35 driver when conduit is used for all wire runs. If conduit is not used, the eight single wires from the driver to the FTM must use 2-4 conductor, shielded wires to prevent EMI interference.

Faults Problems with the EM-35/valve assembly will usually show up as faults in the valve driver or the NetCon control. The type of fault is indicated by LEDs on the driver circuit board.
IACT_EM block read the same value ±0.25° as the valve calibration offset. If they are not the same value, consult the troubleshooting guide. If the problem still cannot be resolved, consult Woodward. The driver can now be RESET through the NetCon control. If a position error (POS_ERR) occurs at reset, see the troubleshooting guide.
Error is application dependent. It can be made to shut down the driver in the NetCon control. IACT_EM MOE BLOCK All of the adjustments for the EM-35 digital driver are made in the NetCon control, via the IACT_EM block. Woodward...

Dither Adjustment The maximum dither adjustment (degrees of movement of motor shaft) depends on the valve which is connected to the EM-35 driver. The adjustment is made inside of the NetCon control (in the IACT_EM MOE block). These maximum dither adjustments should not be the default setting. The adjustment should be made so the dither can be barely felt on the pointing device on the valve and then backed off until it cannot be felt any more.

EM-35 Digital Driver (Single and Dual Feedback) Manual 40161 Driver fault output (DRVR_FLT) this output goes true anytime a fault has occurred that forces the remote driver to be shutdown. Current limit output (CURR_LIM) this output is true if the motor current exceeds 25 amps for CUR_LIMDLY milliseconds + 500 ms.
