Electrostatic Discharge Awareness

All electronic equipment is static-sensitive, some components more than others.
To protect these components from static damage, you must take special
precautions to minimize or eliminate electrostatic discharges.
Follow these precautions when working with or near the control.
1. Before doing maintenance on the electronic control, discharge the static

electricity on your body to ground by touching and holding a grounded metal
object (pipes, cabinets, equipment, etc.).
2. Avoid the build-up of static electricity on your body by not wearing clothing
made of synthetic materials. Wear cotton or cotton-blend materials as much
as possible because these do not store static electric charges as much as
synthetics.
3. Keep plastic, vinyl, and Styrofoam materials (such as plastic or Styrofoam

cups, cup holders, cigarette packages, cellophane wrappers, vinyl books or
folders, plastic bottles, and plastic ash trays) away from the control, the
modules, and the work area as much as possible.
4. Do not remove the printed circuit board (PCB) from the control cabinet
unless absolutely necessary. If you must remove the PCB from the control
cabinet, follow these precautions:
Do not touch any part of the PCB except the edges.
Do not touch the electrical conductors, the connectors, or the

components with conductive devices or with your hands.
When replacing a PCB, keep the new PCB in the plastic antistatic
protective bag it comes in until you are ready to install it. Immediately
after removing the old PCB from the control cabinet, place it in the
antistatic protective bag.
To prevent damage to electronic components caused by improper

handling, read and observe the precautions in Woodward manual
82715, Guide for Handling and Protection of Electronic Controls,
Printed Circuit Boards, and Modules.

Discrete input voltages provide on/off command signals to the electronic control,
such as Raise Speed, Lower Speed, etc. Each discrete input requires 10 mA at
its 24 Vdc nominal voltage rating (2210 load).
2 Woodward
Other control options (on-board jumper configurations):
proximity switch input for speed signal frequencies below 1000 Hz
tandem actuator outputs
01 or 420 mA analog outputs
420 or 0200 mA actuator outputs
Magnetic pickup inputs should only be used when operating speeds provide at
least 400 Hz magnetic pickup frequency.
723PLUS Digital Speed Control Accessories

PC-based Watch Window Software (part number 8923-932) and a Hand Held
Programmer (part number 9907-205) are used for monitoring and adjusting
software parameters of the 723PLUS control, including the software options.
They plug into communication port J1 of the control. [Hand Held Programmer
part number 9905-292 can also be used.] See Figures 1-3 and 1-4.
Optional PC-based Standard DSLC Control Interface Software (part number

8928-054) is a graphical user interface product used for monitoring and adjusting
software parameters of the 723PLUS/DSLC control.
An analog Load Pulse Unit (part number 8272-615) can be used to increase the
load transient performance of the engine generator. Signal Input #1 has been
dedicated to this purpose.
A DSLC control (Digital Synchronizer and Load Control) for generator load
management and load sharing between multiple generator sets can be used with
the 723PLUS control. The 723PLUS controls described in this manual are
designed to accept load and synchronizing inputs from the DSLC unit through
Signal Input # 2.
The 723PLUS control may receive generator parameters through the LON #2
data channel. The generator parameters are used for alarming and output from
the 723PLUS control. The generator parameters are also made available to both
communication ports, J2 and J3. To extract the DSLC information to the
723PLUS, use the LON Binding Kit (part number 9924-863). If the LON hardware
is already available, you can order the 723PLUS/DSLC/GATEWAY Standard
Database (part number 9924-852). Refer to Woodward manual 02817, 723
Software/DSLC CompatibleNetwork Binding Procedure, for detailed binding
instructions.
Signal Input # 2 also accepts signals from a Woodward Generator Load Sensor
(part number 8290-048) or a Woodward Real Power Sensor (part number
8272-695) when a DSLC control is not used.
Woodward 3
The two communication ports (J2 and J3) and the LON # 1 data channel allow for
digital communications between external Modbus compatible devices and
Woodward LinkNet I/O modules. Up to 9 LinkNet modules have been designated
for use and can be connected to the LON # 1 channel. The inputs and outputs of
these modules can be read and controlled with Modbus compatible devices
connected to communication ports J2 and J3. The number and types of LinkNet

Installation
Introduction
This chapter contains general installation instructions for the 723PLUS control.
Power requirements, environmental precautions, and location considerations are
included to help you determine the best location for the control. Additional
information includes unpacking instructions, electrical connections, and
installation checkout procedures.
Unpacking
Before handling the control, read Electrostatic Discharge Awareness (p.iv). Be
careful when unpacking the electronic control. Check the control for signs of
damage such as bent panels, scratches, and loose or broken parts. If any
damage is found, immediately notify the shipper.
Power Requirements
The high-voltage versions of the 723PLUS Digital Speed Control require a
voltage source of 90 to 150 Vdc. The low-voltage versions require a voltage
source of 18 to 40 Vdc.
To prevent damage to the control, do not exceed the input voltage

range.
If a battery is used for operating power, an alternator or other

battery-charging device is necessary to maintain a stable supply
voltage.
To prevent damage to the control, make sure that the alternator or

other battery-charging device is turned off or disconnected before
disconnecting the battery from the control.
Location Considerations
Consider these requirements when selecting the mounting location:
adequate ventilation for cooling
space for servicing and repair
protection from direct exposure to water or to a condensation-prone
environment
protection from high-voltage or high-current devices, or devices which
produce electromagnetic interference
avoidance of vibration
selection of a location that will provide an operating temperature range of
40 to +70 C (40 to +158 F)
The control must NOT be mounted on the engine.
Woodward 11
Internal Jumpers
The 723PLUS control has ten, two-position internal jumpers (JPR1 through
JPR20) located on the top of the printed circuit board. If you need to change any
jumper to match your control needs, be sure to read Electrostatic Discharge
Awareness (p.iv), before proceeding.
With the power off, remove the control cover. With a small pair of tweezers or
needle-nose pliers, carefully remove the appropriate jumper and replace it
securely over the proper two connectors (see Figure 2-1).
The following jumper options are available for these 723PLUS controls:
JPR10 analog output #1 01 mA
* JPR9 analog output #1 020 mA
JPR12 analog output #2 01 mA

* JPR11 analog output #2 020 mA
* JPR13 & JPR2 actuator output #1 0200 mA, single

JPR13 & JPR1 actuator output #1 020 mA, single

Electrical Connections
External wiring connections and shielding requirements for a typical 723PLUS
control installation are shown in Figure 1-6. The control wiring connections
(Figure 1-5) are explained in the rest of this chapter.
Shielded Wiring
All shielded cable must be twisted conductor pairs. Do not attempt to tin the
braided shield. All signal lines should be shielded to prevent picking up stray
signals from adjacent equipment. Connect the shields to the nearest chassis
ground. Wire exposed beyond the shield should be as short as possible, not
exceeding 25 mm (1 inch). The other end of the shields must be left open and
insulated from any other conductor. DO NOT run shielded signal wires along with
other wires carrying large currents. See Woodward application note 50532,
Interference Control in Electronic Governing Systems for more information.
Where shielded cable is required, cut the cable to the desired length and prepare
the cable as instructed below.
1. Strip outer insulation from BOTH ENDS, exposing the braided or spiral
wrapped shield. DO NOT CUT THE SHIELD.
2. Using a sharp, pointed tool, carefully spread the strands of the braided
shield.
3. Pull inner conductor(s) out of the shield. If the shield is the braided type,
twist it to prevent fraying.
4. Remove 6 mm (1/4 inch) of insulation from the inner conductors.
Installations with severe electromagnetic interference (EMI) may require

additional shielding precautions. Contact Woodward Governor Company for
more information.
Power Supply (Terminals 1/2)

Power supply output must be low impedance (for example, directly from
batteries). DO NOT power the control from high-voltage sources with resistors
and zener diodes in series with the control power input. The 723PLUS control
contains a switching power supply which requires a current surge (722 A) to
start properly.
To prevent damage to the control, do not power a low-voltage control

from high-voltage sources, and do not power any control from high-
voltage sources with resistors and zener diodes in series with the
power input.
Run the power leads directly from the power source to the control. DO NOT
POWER OTHER DEVICES WITH LEADS COMMON TO THE CONTROL. Avoid
long wire lengths. Connect the positive (line) to terminal 1 and negative
(common) to terminal 2. If the power source is a battery, be sure the system
includes an alternator or other battery-charging device.
14 Woodward
If possible, do NOT turn off control power as part of a shutdown procedure. Use
the Minimum Fuel (Run/Stop) discrete input (terminal 36) for shutdown. Leave
the control powered except for service of the system and extended periods of
disuse.
Do NOT apply power to the control at this time. Applying power may
damage the control.
To prevent damage to the engine, apply power to the 723PLUS

control at least 60 seconds prior to starting the engine. The control
must have time to do its power up diagnostics and become
operational. Do not start the engine unless the green POWER OK and
CPU OK indicators on the 723PLUS control cover come on, because
test failure turns off the output of the control.
Relay Outputs (Terminals 3/4, 5/6, 7/8)

The three Relay Outputs provide Form A dry contact closures for controlling
three discretely controlled devices. The three conditions which cause the relays
to change state include a shutdown condition, an alarm condition, and a status
indication condition. The contact ratings are shown on the control wiring diagram
in Figure 1-5. Interposing relays should be used if the application exceeds these
ratings. Each relay is energized when the green light above the respective
terminals is illuminated.
The relay contact on terminals 3/4 for Relay Output #1 is used when internal
shutdown conditions are intended to externally shut down the engine. Relay
Output #1 must be connected to the engine shutdown system to execute an
engine shutdown. No connection is required if the shutdown function is not used
in the application. The relay changes state if any configured shutdown condition
has occurred without being cleared or reset. The state of the contact can be
configured as either close on shutdown or open on shutdown. If power to the
control is lost, the contact will open.
alarm conditions are to be used by other devices in the application. No
connection is required if the alarm function is not used in the application. The
relay changes state if any configured alarm condition has occurred without being
cleared or reset. The state of the contact can be configured as either close on
alarm or open on alarm. If power to the control is lost, the contact will open.
status indication conditions are to be used by other devices in the application. No
connection is required if the status indication function is not used in the
application. The relay changes state if any configured status indication condition
has occurred and will self-clear when the condition no longer exists. The state of
the contact can be configured as either close on status or open on status. If
power to the control is lost, the contact will open.
Woodward 15
Speed Signal Inputs (Terminals 11/12 and 13/14)

Connect a magnetic pick-up (MPU) or proximity switch to terminals 11 and 12.
You may connect a second MPU/proximity switch to terminals 13 and 14. The
second speed-sensing device may be used for redundancy and for torsional
filtering if configured. The second device will provide backup speed sensing in
the event of a single speed sensor device failure. If two speed sensor devices
are used, they must both sense the exact same speed of rotation. The usual
location for both devices is on the upper half of the flywheel housing.
If you have a flexible coupling between the engine and generator set, you must
connect the first MPU (terminals 11/12) to detect engine speed, and the second
MPU (terminals 13/14) to detect generator speed. The speed sensors must be on
shafts rotating at exactly the same speed (not a camshaft, nor on each side of a
gearbox, etc). Use shielded wire for all speed sensor connections. Connect the
shield to the chassis. Make sure the shield has continuity the entire distance to
the speed sensor, and make sure the shield is insulated from all other conducting
surfaces.
The number of gear teeth is used by the control to convert pulses

from the speed sensing device to engine rpm. To prevent possible
serious injury from an overspeeding engine, make sure the control is
properly programmed to convert the gear-tooth count into engine
rpm. Improper conversion could cause engine overspeed.
To prevent possible damage to the control or poor control

performance resulting from ground loop problems, we recommend
using current-loop isolators if the 723PLUS control's analog inputs
and outputs must both be used with non-isolated devices. A number
of manufacturers offer 20 mA loop isolators.
Analog Output #1, #2, and #4

(Terminals 15/16, 17/18, and 21/22)
The three analog outputs can be configured several different ways depending on
the application needs. The output current is hardware configurable for either 0 to
1 mA or 4 to 20 mA on Analog Outputs #1 and #2, and for either 0 to 200 mA or
4 to 20 mA on Analog Output #4. This current signal is supplied to terminals
15(+) and 16() for Analog Output #1, terminals 17(+) and 18() for Analog
Output #2, and terminals 21(+) and 22() for Analog Output #4. Note that the
these terminals must be isolated from ground.
Any of the three outputs can be software configured to one of several control
parameters. These parameters include:
1 Engine Speed
2 Engine Speed Reference
3 Fuel Demand
4 Reverse Fuel Demand
5 Torsional Level

Analog Output #1 is factory set for 4 to 20 mA, representing the engine speed.
Default range is 0 to 1300 rpm. Software settings must be changed if the
hardware is configured for 0 to 1 mA.
Analog Output #2 is factory set for 4 to 20 mA, representing the engine speed
reference. Default range is 0 to 1300 rpm. Software settings must be changed if
the hardware is configured for 0 to 1 mA.
Analog Output #4 is factory set for 4 to 20 mA, representing the engine fuel
demand. Default range is 0 to 100 %. Software settings must be changed if the
hardware is configured for 0 to 200 mA.
Use shielded twisted-pair wires. For electrically isolated devices such as 4 to 20

mA analog meters, the shield should be grounded at the control end of the cable.
For input to other devices, use the recommendation of the device manufacturer.
Analog Output #3 (Terminals 19/20)

The actuator wires connect to terminals 19(+) and 20(). Use shielded wires with
the shield connected to chassis at the control. The unit may be configured for
420 mA. If the hardware jumper is changed, the software settings must also be
changed.
LON #1 and LON #2 (Terminals 2328)

The 723PLUS control provides two separate LON communication channels for
communicating with Echelon networks.
Woodward 17

LON #1 is used to connect up to nine Woodward LinkNet I/O modules. These
modules provide values for temperature, 4 to 20 mA inputs, and discrete inputs
for availability to the two serial communication ports (J2 and J3). Additionally, the
information can be read on Watch Window or the Hand Held Programmer when
connected to J1. Modules can also be used which will provide 4 to 20 mA outputs
and relay outputs. These outputs are driven by the Modbus device connected to
Communication Port J3.
LON #2 can be connected to the DSLC unit which allows using Modbus port 3 to
control loading and synchronizing of the generator. This connection needs to be
made if the 723PLUS is using the DSLC information for analog readouts, or
monitoring, or control through the Modbus devices.
The connection to LON #2 is not required for the DSLC unit to

properly perform load control with the 723PLUS. The connection to
LON #2 and binding are required to monitor generator parameters at
the Modbus device.
If several gensets are connected together with a common LON, the 723PLUS
LON #2 channel will connect to this same LON. This connection will require the
binding procedure described in Application Note 02817. This connection will
allow all parameters described in the DSLC manual 02007C - Chapter 9 to be
read by either of the two Modbus devices connected to Ports J2 and J3.
Discrete Inputs (Terminals 2936)

Discrete inputs are the switch input commands to the 723PLUS control. They
interact in such a way as to allow engine control and power management under a
variety of conditions.
Voltage is supplied to the discrete input terminal when an input switch or relay
contact closes. This will cause the input state for that discrete input to be
TRUE. The input terminal will be open circuited when the input switch or relay
contact opens. This will cause the input state for that discrete input to be
FALSE. When the input switch or relay contact is closed, the voltage supplying
the discrete inputs should be present from the appropriate discrete input
(terminal 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, or 36) to terminal 37 (common). Terminal 37
is the common return path for all of the discrete input channels. A lower voltage
indicates that the switch contacts have too high a resistance when closed and
should be replaced. These terminals must be isolated from ground. The green
light above each input terminal will illuminate for a valid TRUE state.
In systems which provide an external low voltage source to power the 723PLUS
control (or other systems where external low voltage dc power is available), 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 40 Vdc.
Connect the external low voltage source negative to terminal 37(). Connect the
external low voltage source positive to the appropriate input switch or relay
contact and connect the mated switch or relay contact to the corresponding
discrete input terminal on the 723PLUS control.
Remove the factory installed jumper between terminal 37 and

terminal 38 when using external discrete input power.
18 Woodward
In systems which provide a high voltage source to power the 723PLUS control
(or systems where the external low voltage dc power is not appropriate), the
discrete inputs may be powered by the internal 24 Vdc Discrete Input Power
source at terminal 39. This source is capable of supplying 100 mA at a voltage
level of 24 Vdc. Connect the internal 24 Vdc voltage source positive from
terminal 39 to the appropriate input switch or relay contact, and connect the
mated switch or relay contact to the corresponding discrete input terminal on the
723PLUS control. Assure that a connection exists between terminal 37 and
terminal 38 when using the internal Discrete Input Power. Do not power other
devices with the internal discrete input power source, and assure that the switch
or relay contacts used are isolated from any other circuit or system.
Droop/Isochronous (Input A; Terminal 29)

The input switch or relay contact used to de-activate the Droop function connects
to terminal 29 (Discrete Input A). This discrete input changes the control state
between isochronous and droop control. When the contact is open, the control
will operate in droop based on a software-adjusted signal proportional to fuel
demand. In this state, the load on the engine will be changed with the RAISE
SPEED and LOWER SPEED contacts described below. Refer to Woodward
Application Note 01302 for a further discussion of droop. With the contact closed
(discrete input in the TRUE state), the DSLC bias will cause the fuel demand to
vary according to the analog signal from the DSLC unit or other Woodward
accessory connected to Signal Input #2. Note that a FALSE state on this input
must also de-activate the DSLC unit (by opening the CB Aux input). Otherwise
the DSLC unit will erroneously affect other DSLC units in the system.
Alarm Reset (Input B; Terminal 30)

The input switch or relay contact used to activate the Alarm Reset command
connects to terminal 30 (Discrete Input B). This discrete input will issue a reset
command to all parameters which can latch into an alarm state. Only those
parameters which are in the normal state when the discrete input first goes
TRUE will be reset to the no-alarm condition. When the external switch or relay
contacts are closed (discrete input in the TRUE state), internal software will limit
the command so that the reset condition will apply only for a short time within the
control even if the external contact remains closed. With the contacts open
(discrete input in the FALSE state), the control will again be ready to respond to
the external contacts closing. The Alarm Reset command works in parallel with
the command from Port J2, the command from Port J3, and a software switch
from the Hand Held Programmer, Watch Window, or the STD PC Interface.
Woodward 19
Speed Fail Override (Input C; Terminal 31)

The input switch or relay contact used to activate the Speed Fail Override
command connects to terminal 31 (Discrete Input C). This discrete input changes
the control operation to allow the fuel demand to increase even though the speed
signal is not present. This command is normally used to allow the actuator to
open for engine starting when the speed signal is too low to be detected. Note
that most starting designs will crank the engine fast enough to allow the speed
signal to be detected by the control. For these designs, the override command is
not needed, and this input can be left disconnected. When the external switch or
relay contacts are closed (discrete input in the TRUE state), the control will
override the shutdown associated with losing the speed sensor. With the
contacts open (discrete input in the FALSE state), the control will shut down if
both speed sensor signals are lost.
For reverse-acting systems where the fuel demand is allowed to increase to the
speed setting of a mechanical governor when the electrical system fails, this
discrete input should be set to the TRUE state. This can be done by connecting
the input directly to the positive Discrete Input Power source. This action will
force the fuel demand to increase if the electrical speed signal is lost, and
relinquish control to the mechanical governor. Be sure the mechanical governor
is properly set up to assume control in the event of an electrical system failure.
The mechanical governor must NOT be set up to assume control during normal
electrical governor operation. Such interaction produces undesirable instability.
To prevent possible serious injury from an overspeeding engine, the

Speed Fail Override command must be FALSE during normal
operating conditions of direct-acting systems. This is accomplished
by open circuiting the discrete input at terminal 31. If switch or relay
contacts are used to activate this command, the contacts must be
designed to open when the engine is running under normal governor
control.
2nd Dynamics (Input D; Terminal 32)

The input switch or relay contact used to activate the 2nd Dynamics command
connects to terminal 32 (Discrete Input D). This discrete input changes the
control operation to allow a second set of dynamic terms to be used. This
command is normally used when the closed loop path needs two independent
sets of dynamics such as with circuit breaker open/closed or with dual-fuel
engines. When the input switch or relay contacts are closed (discrete input in the
TRUE state), the control will use the 2nd Dynamics set. When the contacts are
open (discrete input in the FALSE state), the control will use the 1st Dynamics
set. No connection needs to be made to this input if only one set of dynamics is
used.
20 Woodward
Raise Speed Contact (Input E; Terminal 33)

The input switch or relay contact used to activate the Raise Speed command
connects to terminal 33 (Discrete Input E). This discrete input changes the
control operation by increasing the speed reference ramp. The ramp can
increase only to a software adjusted RAISE SPEED limit. The ramp will increase
at a software adjusted rate. De-selecting the Rated Speed command (described
below) will take command control away from Raise Speed and effectively disable
the command. This command is normally used to allow raising the engine speed
for manually synchronizing and testing high-speed operations such as
overspeed. The Raise Speed command will increase the fuel demand and load
when the system is run in droop. If the 723PLUS is being used with a DSLC unit,
the Raise Speed command should not be used when the generator breaker is
closed. When the external switch or relay contacts are closed (discrete input in
the TRUE state), the control will raise the speed reference. Raise is limited to
the maximum speed limit. With the contacts open (discrete input in the FALSE
state), the control will stop raising the speed reference. Maintained simultaneous
closure of this Raise Speed contact along with the Lower Speed contact enables
the Remote Speed Input.
Lower Speed Contact (Input F; Terminal 34)

The input switch or relay contact used to activate the Lower Speed command
connects to terminal 34 (Discrete Input F). This discrete input changes the
control operation by decreasing the speed reference ramp. The ramp can
decrease only to a software adjusted LOWER SPEED limit. The ramp will
decrease at a software adjusted rate. De-selecting the Rated Speed command
(described below) will take command control away from Lower Speed and
effectively disable the command. This command is normally used to allow
lowering the engine speed for manually synchronizing and testing low speed
operations such as critical speeds. The Lower Speed command will decrease the
fuel demand and load when the system is run in droop. If the 723PLUS is being
used with a DSLC unit, the Lower Speed command should not be used when the
generator breaker is closed. When the external switch or relay contacts are
closed (discrete input in the TRUE state), the control will lower the speed
reference. Lower is limited to the minimum speed limit. With the contacts open
(discrete input in the FALSE state), the control will stop lowering the speed
reference. Maintained simultaneous closure of this Lower Speed contact along
with the Raise Speed contact enables the Remote Speed Input.
Rated Speed (Input G; Terminal 35)

The external contact used to activate the Rated Speed command connects to
terminal 35 (Discrete Input G). This discrete input changes the control operation
by increasing the speed reference to RATED SPEED and decreasing the speed
reference to IDLE SPEED. When the switch or relay contacts are closed
(discrete input in the TRUE state), the speed reference will ramp for a time set
by the Accel Time to the rated speed control point. When the switch or relay
contacts are open (discrete input in the FALSE state), the speed reference will
ramp for a time set by the Decel Time to the idle speed control point. If the
723PLUS is being used with a DSLC unit, the Rated Speed input should be left in
the TRUE state when the generator breaker is closed. If the application does
not require an idle speed setting, the Rated Speed input can be left in the
TRUE state at all times. This can be done by connecting the input directly to the
positive Discrete Input Power source.
Woodward 21
Close to Run (Input H; Terminal 36)

The external contact used to activate the Close to Run command connects to
terminal 36 (Discrete Input H). This discrete input changes the control operation
by immediately decreasing the fuel demand to zero. When the switch or relay
contacts are closed (discrete input in the TRUE state), the control is allowed to
control the fuel in an attempt to control the speed/load of the prime mover. When
the switch or relay contacts are open (discrete input in the FALSE state), the
Minimum Fuel Function will immediately pull the fuel demand to zero.
The Close to Run command is the preferred means for a normal shutdown of the
engine. The control output to the actuator will be minimum fuel demand when no
voltage is applied to terminal 36.
The Close to Run discrete input is not intended for use as the sole
means of shutdown in any emergency stop sequence. To prevent
possible serious injury and engine damage from an overspeeding
engine, do NOT use the Close to Run discrete input as the sole
means of shutdown in any emergency stop sequence.
Load Pulse Input (Signal Input #1; Terminals 42/43)

Use a shielded twisted-pair cable to connect the low impedance output from a
Load Pulse Unit to terminals 42(+) and 43(). No connection is required to this
input if this function is not needed by the application. Also remove the factory
installed jumper between terminals 41 and 42. The Load Pulse Unit is described
in Product Specification 82388. This auxiliary control is used in applications
which require smaller frequency changes when large load transients occur. The
Load Pulse Unit is a bi-directional voltage source to the 723PLUS control. During
steady state operation, the Load Pulse Unit will send close to zero volts to the
control. Decreases in load will result in a temporary negative voltage bias at the
Load Pulse Input, and increases in load will result in a temporary positive voltage
bias at the Load Pulse Input. This provides a temporary change in speed
reference by 3% of Rated speed per volt input to terminals 42 and 43. This input
can also be used for other devices that require a zero-based signal. One
example of such a device is a satellite time-base correction.
DSLC Input (Signal Input #2; Terminals 45/46)

Use a shielded twisted-pair cable to connect the low-impedance output from
DSLC terminals 32() and 33(COM) to terminals 45() and 46(COM). Also
remove the factory installed jumper between terminals 44 and 45. The DSLC unit
is described in Product Specification 02006 and Manual 02007. This input allows
a change in speed reference by 3% of Rated speed per volt input to terminals 42
and 43.
Use only DSLC bias output option 3.0 Vdc.
22 Woodward
Remote Speed Reference (Signal Input #3; Terminals 48/49)

Connect a remote speed reference transmitter to Signal Input #3. The input
signal must be an isolated high-quality signal. No connection is required to this
input if this function is not needed by the application.
Use a shielded twisted-pair cable to connect a 4 to 20 mA current transmitter or 1

to 5 Vdc voltage transmitter to terminals 48(+) and 49(). When using a voltage
transmitter, remove the jumper between terminals 48 and 47. An input
impedance of 255 is present when the jumper is installed. Without the jumper
installed, the input impedance will be greater than 10 M. This input is not
isolated from the other control inputs and outputs, and an isolation device must
be installed if the transmitter output is not isolated. A failure of the input signal is
detected for input values less than 2.0 mA (0.5 Vdc) and for values exceeding 21
mA (5.25 Vdc). A detected failure will remain until the failure is repaired and an
Alarm Reset is issued.
Ext Fuel Limit (Signal Input #4; Terminals 51/52)

Connect an External Fuel Limit transmitter to Signal Input #4. The input signal
must be an isolated high-quality signal representing the External Fuel Limit
signal. This signal input will allow an external signal to limit the fuel demand. It is
typically used to set a maximum fuel demand limit based on a parameter such as
manifold air pressure or exhaust temperature. No connection is required to this
input if this function is not needed by the application.
Use a shielded twisted-pair cable to connect a 4 to 20 mA External Fuel Limit

current transmitter or 1 to 5 Vdc External Fuel Limit voltage transmitter to
terminals 51(+) and 52(). When using a voltage transmitter, remove the jumper
between terminals 51 and 50. An input impedance of 255 is present when the
jumper is installed. Without the jumper installed, the input impedance will be
greater than 10 M. This input is not isolated from the other control inputs and
outputs, and an isolation device must be installed if the transmitter output is not
isolated. A failure of the input signal is detected for input values less than 2.0 mA
(0.5 Vdc) and for values exceeding 21 mA (5.25 Vdc). A detected failure will
remain until the failure is repaired and an Alarm Reset is issued.
Communication Ports J2 and J3

Communication Ports J2 and J3 are used to connect two separate Modbus
devices to the 723PLUS control. These devices are used to read control
parameters as well as read inputs from the LinkNet nodes. The Modbus device
connected to J3 can additionally drive LinkNet nodes and also drive certain
723PLUS control parameters. The Modbus device can be any master device
capable of communicating with Modbus standard protocol. This includes any
Modbus compatible PC, any compatible SCADA system, etc.
Communication Ports J2 and J3 can be software configured for a wide variety of

serial communications. Either port can be set to standard specifications for
RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485. Additionally the BAUD rates can be independently
set for 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, or 38400. The only restriction is that if
one port is set for a BAUD rate of 38400, the other port must be set to the same
rate. Stop bits on either port can be set for 19200 at 1, 1.5, or 2. Parity can be set
for OFF, ODD, or EVEN. The data may be formatted as either ASCII or RTU on
Port J2 or Port J3.
Woodward 23
Communication Port J2 can read all control parameters as well as all connected
LinkNet inputs. The only information which can be sent from Port J2 is an Alarm
Reset command. See Appendix C for complete listings of port addresses and
description of values for Port J2.
Communication Port J3 can read all control parameters, read all connected
LinkNet inputs, send commands and values to all connected LinkNet outputs,
and send limited commands and four signals to the 723PLUS control. The four
signals which can be sent to the 723PLUS are the remote speed reference and
values which can be the source for the three configured analog outputs. The
commands which can be sent to the 723PLUS control are Droop, Alarm Reset,
Failsafe Override, Use 2nd Dynamics, Raise Speed, Lower Speed, Idle/Rated
Speed, Run/Stop, and Remote Speed Reference. The Alarm Reset command
works in parallel with the command from Port J2, the discrete input Alarm Reset
command connected to terminal 30 (B), and a software switch from the Hand
Held Programmer, Watch Window, or the STD PC interface.
To activate the appropriate Discrete input via Modbus Boolean Write, you must
assert the 723 Command Close Discrete Input, and you must also assert the
Use Discrete Input Command. This method allows you to choose which inputs
you would like to have activated by hardware and which inputs you wish to ignore
the hardware and use the Modbus Boolean Write command. Also be aware that
you can read the hardware state of the Discrete Input using a Boolean Read
Modbus command.
The DSLC control can provide a wealth of generator information to the Modbus
devices. Over fifteen Analog Read values and fifty Boolean Read values are
furnished (e.g., Real Power, Apparent Power, Reactive Power, Volts, Amps, Gen
Frequency, Bus Frequency, Synchronizer in Run Mode, Load Control in Parallel
Mode, etc.). The Modbus value for power factor is times 1000 and for frequency
is times 100 (that is, at 0.8 power factor the Modbus value is 800 and at 60 Hz
the Modbus value is 6000). All other Modbus values are in engineering units.
Note that the information from the DSLC unit is only available when the DSLC
unit is connected to LON #2 and has gone through the binding process (see
Application Note 02817). See Appendix C for complete listings of port addresses
and description of values for Port J2 and Port J3.
Optional LinkNet nodes provide system parameters which can be sent to and
used by the Modbus devices connected to Communication Ports J2 and J3. The
LinkNet nodes can provide temperature signals from 24 (type J) thermocouples
and 6 (3-wire, 100 American curve) RTDs. Nodes can also provide 6 analog
inputs in the form of 4 to 20 mA signals and 16 discrete inputs. All signal input
values sent to the Modbus device are scaled in milliamps x1000 (that is, a 12 mA
signal input to a 420 mA input LinkNet node will be read as 12000 on the
corresponding address by the Modbus device).
LinkNet nodes can also be used to provide system parameters from a Modbus
device to the system. This can occur only with the Modbus device connected to
Communication Port J3. The LinkNet nodes can provide up to six 4 to 20 mA
outputs and 8 Form C relay outputs (contacts are rated 5 A at 28 Vdc). The 4 to
20 mA outputs must be scaled as milliamps x1000 from the Modbus device (that
is, to produce 12 mA from a particular output, the Modbus device must send a
value 12000). The relay outputs will energize when the state of the correct
address is set to TRUE. A FALSE state will cause the relay output to de-
energize.
24 Woodward
Modbus Analog Write Addresses 0002, 0003, and 0004 allow control of
configurable analog outputs #1, #2, and #4 respectively. The signed 16-bit
integer must be scaled as milliamps x1000 for communication (that is, to produce
a 12 mA output from the 723PLUS analog output #1, a value of 12000 must be
applied to address 4:0002).
Modbus Analog Write Address 0005 allows control of the speed reference. The
signed 16-bit integer must be scaled as rpm for communication (that is, to
produce a 330 rpm output from the 723PLUS a value of 330 must be applied to
address 4:0005).
Installation Checkout Procedure

With the installation complete as described in this chapter, do the following
checkout procedure before beginning set point entry (Chapter 3) or initial start-up
adjustments (Chapter 4).
1. Visual inspection
A. Check the linkage between the actuator and fuel metering device for
looseness or binding. Refer to the appropriate actuator manual, and
Manual 25070, Electric Governor Installation Guide for additional
information on linkage.
To prevent possible serious injury from an overspeeding engine, the

actuator lever or stroke should be near but not at the minimum
position when the fuel valve or fuel rack is at the minimum fuel
delivery position.
B. Check for correct wiring in accordance with the control wiring diagram,
Figure 1-5.
C. Check for broken terminals and loose terminal screws.
D. Check the speed sensor(s) for visible damage. If the sensor is a
magnetic pickup, check the clearance between the gear and the
sensor, and adjust if necessary. Clearance should be between 0.25
and 1.25 mm (0.010 and 0.050 inch) at the closest point. Make sure the
gear runout does not exceed the pickup gap.
The smallest practical gap is preferred, typically smaller gaps can be

set on smaller gears and larger gaps on larger gears.
2. Check for grounds
Check for grounds by measuring the resistance from all control terminals to
chassis. All terminals except terminals 2 and 37 should measure infinite
resistance (the resistance of terminals 2 and 37 depends on whether a
floating or grounded power source is used). If a resistance less than infinite
is obtained, remove the connections from each terminal one at a time until
the resistance is infinite. Check the line that was removed last to locate and
repair the ground fault.
Woodward 25
Chapter 3.
Entering Control Set Points
Introduction
Because of the variety of installations, plus system and component tolerances,
the 723PLUS control must be tuned and configured for each system to obtain
optimum performance.
This chapter contains information on how to enter control set points through the
control's menu system using the Hand Held Programmer. See the next chapter
for prestart-up and start-up settings and adjustments.
An improperly calibrated control could cause an engine overspeed or

other damage to the engine. To prevent possible serious injury from
an overspeeding engine, read this entire procedure before starting
the engine.
Watch Window Generic PC Interface

Watch Window was developed by Woodward to be a ServLink client software
product that provides a generic PC interface to any 723PLUS control, and is a
very powerful setup, testing, and troubleshooting tool. Watch Window provides a
means of loading the application software into the 723PLUS control, shutting
down and placing the control in the configuration mode, saving values in the
control EEPROM, and resetting the control. Application tunable values can be
uploaded, downloaded, and saved to a file.
An inspector provides a window for real-time monitoring and editing of all

control Configuration and Service Menu parameters and values. Custom
inspectors can easily be created and saved. Each window can display up to 28
lines of monitoring and tuning parameters without scrolling. The number with
scrolling is unlimited. Two windows can be open simultaneously to display up to
56 parameters without scrolling. Tunable values can be adjusted at the inspector
window.
Watch Window communicates with the control through RS-232/RS-422 cable

connection to port J1 which is configured as a point-to-point only ServLink
Server. A jumper between terminals 9 and 10 sets port J1 as a ServLink interface
port. Removing this jumper sets port J1 as a Hand Held Programmer interface
port. Read Help About to display the part number and revision level of the
software in the control. Refer to this number and revision level in any
correspondence with Woodward (write this information in the programming
checklist, Appendix D). Read Getting Started notepad included with the Watch
Window install software.
723PLUS DSLC Compatible PC Tools Interface

Woodward has created a standard PC interface for the 723PLUS DSLC Control.
This custom graphical user interface is a ServLink client which has all 723PLUS
DSLC Control tunable values and monitoring parameters laid out in an intuitive
manner.
26 Woodward
It is an ultra-basic form of HMI. However, unlike most HMI devices, this interface
connects directly to the control values and parameters. Monitoring parameter
updates are very fast. Tunable values may be changed directly and saved in the
controllers EEPROM or saved to a file to be downloaded or uploaded.
The STD PC interface communicates with the control through RS-232/RS-422

cable connection to port J1, which is configured as a point-to-point only ServLink
server. A jumper between terminals 9 and 10 sets port J1 as a ServLink interface
port. Removing this jumper sets port J1 as a Hand Held Programmer interface
port. Read Help About to display the part number and revision level of the
software in the control. Refer to this number and revision level in any
correspondence with Woodward (write this information in the programming
checklist, Appendix D). Read Getting Started notepad included with the PC
Tools interface install software.
System Requirements
Operating System: Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0 *
Processor: At least a Pentium 166 MHz or equivalent
RAM: Recommended 32 MB (with Windows 95) and 64 MB (with Windows
NT 4.0); Required 16 MB
Communications: At least 1 free working COMM port
* It is likely that this program would run fine on Windows 98 and Beta
Versions Windows NT 5.0, but these have not been tested and will
not be supported by Woodward.
Control Modes
Service Mode
When the controller is in use, it is in service mode. While in service mode,
configuration values cannot be changed, and tunable values can be changed
only within 10% of their value per single adjustment.
Configure Mode
This mode is used to set up options that cannot be changed while the controller
is in use (e.g., the number of teeth). Switching to configure mode will cause an
I/O lockout. A conformation dialog is in place so that the control is not
accidentally placed in configuration mode.
Woodward 27
To continue and enter Configuration Mode, check the Enable Switch to
Configuration Mode box, then press or click Configuration Mode. Close the
window (click :) to cancel.
Show Service Values

This will bring the service values to the top so they can be adjusted. If the control
is in configure mode, the values can be adjusted by any amount within their
allowed maximum and minimum ranges.
Show Configure Values

This option will make the configure values visible. Note that if an attempt is made
to change a configure value while the control is in service mode, an error will be
generated indicating that this is not allowed.
While in configure mode, the controller locks out all other input and
output processing. This means that if the controller is put in
configuration mode while its control device is still active (e.g. the
engine is still running) results could be unpredictable.
Startup Screen
This following Startup Screen appears when the 723PLUS DSLC Control
standard PC interface is opened.
This shows the Monitor Shutdown screen and displays current status of all
shutdowns. An Alarm Reset button is provided to reset any control alarms and
shutdowns that have been cleared.
The Tabs across the top provide a word description of main screens and sub-
screens of the Monitor screen and are a means of moving to another screen. To
move to another screen, Click the appropriate tab. The arrows in the upper
right hand corner (if applicable) are used to scroll to other tabs that may be
hidden. Some screens when opened (e.g., Monitor), will display additional tabs to
sub-screens. Clicking these tabs will move you into the sub-screens.
28 Woodward
A quick means of moving directly to another screen or sub-screen from any
screen is to right click anywhere on the tab sheet, except on a gauge panel. The
main tabs list will pop up and an symbol will appear at the right edge of main
lists which contain a sub-screen list. This facilitates moving to sub-screens. Left
click when the cursor is over the desired screen or sub-screen name to move
directly to that screen.
The following is an example of right clicking to select and move to the

Thermocouple screen, which is a sub-screen of LinkNet and Monitor. It
displays the full lists of other LinkNet sub-screens and Monitor sub-screens as
well as all Main screens (including those that may be hidden).
The Fuel Limiter screen, shown below, is typical of all screens except for the
curve screens. You can see that the information is presented in various forms:
Analog and digital displays of Engine Speed and Fuel Demand
LED display of the Fuel Limiter in Control
Bar graph display of all Fuel Limiters on the Fuel Demand LSS bus
Sub-tabs for the Fuel Limiter and Droop Settings.
Two sets of raise/lower arrows accompany each tunable value. The hollow
arrows produce turtle (slow) setpoint changes, and the solid arrows produce
rabbit (fast) setpoint changes. Values may also be highlighted and typed in
directly. This causes the raise/lower arrows to be replaced by an = sign. Typed
values must be within 10% of the previous value to be accepted when in Service
Mode. This rule does not apply when in Configuration Mode. Click the = sign or
press the enter key to accept newly typed settings. All values in either mode
must be within max and min limits fixed in the control software.
Woodward 29
The following is the Fuel Limiter screen with the External Fuel Limiter sub-tab
open.
CFIG Option menu item Use External Fuel Limiter must be set TRUE
to make this sub-tab visible.
Right clicking on a gauge panel will bring up a different quick menu.
30 Woodward
Saving Settings
The following shows how to set the program to save (or not save) gauge settings
and screen position on close. Under the Options menu either check or uncheck
Save Settings on Close for the desired action on close. This save option will only
save screen position and gauge settings on close. To save all configuration and
service tunables see File Save to EEPROM below.
The other Options are:

Reset to Default Settings will reset all the user options to their Default
values.
Control and Program Settings can be saved in various ways at any time from the
File menu.
Select File from the menu bar, for the following choices:
Save Settings Now will save the programs screen position and gauge
settings.
Save to EEPROM will save all configuration and service tunables in the
723PLUS EEPROM.
Load Config File will load settings from a saved Configuration File into the
723PLUS EEPROM, overwriting all previous values. The Control mode must
be set for Configure Mode before this function is possible.
Save As Config File will dump all settings from the 723PLUS controller
EEPROM into a Configuration File.
To prevent possible damage to the engine resulting from improper

control settings, make sure you save the set points before removing
power from the control. Failure to save the set points before
removing power from the control causes them to revert to the
previously saved settings.
Woodward 31
2D Curves
The 2D curve screens are unique. The External Fuel Limiter Curve sub-screen
with tabulated values and raise/lower arrows is shown above on the Fuel Limiter
screen. The following shows a different way of viewing and changing this same
curve as a graph instead of as tabulated settings.
To view a curve, select Graphs from the menu bar, and a list of curves will pop-
up. Click the desired curve.
The following External Fuel Limit Curve screen, as well as screens for the other
listed curves, are available for both viewing the curve graph and changing the
curve setpoints.
The above screen shows that the External Fuel Limit curve is a 2D curve with
five breakpoints. It is set to limit maximum fuel demand at various External Fuel
Limit inputs (e.g., Air Manifold Pressure). A digital display of the current x (curve
input) and y (curve output) values in engineering units is included. Y in this
example is the fuel limit (as a % fuel demand) based on External Fuel Limit X is
engineering units.
32 Woodward
Holding the cursor over a curve breakpoint will display the coordinates, in (x,y)
format, for that specific point as shown below.
Right clicking on a breakpoint and selecting properties will pop-up a Point

Adjustment window for that point as shown below.
Adjustments to both the x and y breakpoint values can be made, as described

earlier, by using the turtle and rabbit arrows or by typing in values and
pressing the = key for the selected point. All breakpoints of all curves can be
adjusted in this manner from the curve graph screens.
Woodward 33
The setup dialog for a 2D graph axes and colors is shown below.
Trends
Purpose: The purpose of a Trend Graph is to provide a visual relational

representation of data as it changes over time. This is especially useful when
tuning an engine and different fluctuations need to be seen and dealt with
analytically.
Here is an example showing some analog inputs as well as a static value:
The Available Trends are listed below, with the items they contain:
Speed Dynamics
Engine Speed (rpm)
Speed Reference (rpm)
Droop Bias (rpm)
%Fuel Demand
34 Woodward
How To Read and Use a Trend Graph

There are two features directly accessible on the Trend Graph
By right clicking anywhere on the graph a Quick Menu with different options
will appear.
By left clicking on the description of a Trend Pen (e.g. Engine Speed
(rpm)), its axis will be shown on the left. Individual axes are available
because different values need to be graphed on different ranges.
The axis provides another piece of information, the maximum and minimum
value of its respective pen. This is indicated by two tick marks on the right side of
the axis. When the program is first started, it initializes the values to 0, so it might
be necessary to reset the Max and Min values once the program is running. This
is accomplished by right clicking on the graph and selecting Max and Min Values
and then selecting Reset All Max and Min.
Auto Update: Will pause and unpause the graph motion, as well as pause and
unpause logging.
Auto Save Settings: If checked this will automatically save all settings as they are
changed.
Copy to Clipboard: Copies the whole graph (axis, graph window, descriptions,
and values) to the clipboard so that it can be pasted into any other Windows
application capable of receiving a bitmap from the clipboard.
Log to File: Clicking on this will either enable or disable logging. Note that if no
log file is specified, trying to start logging has no effect. This feature is provided if
a history is needed. Data is logged on every update interval to a standard tab
delimited ASCII text file. The log file can be changed in the trend configuration
dialog. Note that if the log file exists it is automatically appended to (data is only
added to the end). If you wish to start with a fresh log, put in a file name that
does not exist, and it will be automatically created when logging is started.
Woodward 35
Here is a short sample of a log generated from the above trend. This sample
covers almost three seconds of time.
Log Status: This will show a dialog with estimated data rate values indicating how
much physical data is being logged per second, per minute, and per hour. This is
useful if you wish to have a log file kept for a longer period of time and want to
make sure that you wont run out of disk space. The estimate is based on every
value being written at its Maximum Axis Value. In most cases the actual data rate
should be less. If logging the time is enabled then every time stamp is evaluated
as have three decimal places for estimation purposes.
36 Woodward
Properties: Will display this dialog.
Pen X Enabled: Enables or disables graph of data for that pen. This is useful if
pens are overlapping or only certain values need to be monitored or logged.
Pen X Color: Change the color of the trace of the pen. Useful for maintaining
contrast.
Pen X Line Style: Is also useful for maintaining contrast. However, if the update
time and graph length are such that each update only moves the graph a couple
of pixels, the line style appears not to have an effect. This is because each
segment drawn is not long enough to show a complete cycle in the line style.
Pen X Minimum: This value is used in conjunction with Pen X Maximum.
Pen X Maximum: These values are used to scale the data in the graph window.
Change these values to zoom in or out on a particular region for a given Pen.
Show Time (Top/Bottom): This option toggles if the time passed is written to the
graph window, as well as if it is written to the top or bottom of the graph.
Show Grid: Toggles if the grid is drawn or not.
X Grid Tics: This Controls How many lines are drawn parallel to the Y Axis. Note
that this value is not exact, but more a value used to generate the grid density.
The best way to understand it is to change it to high and low values and see what
happens.
Y Grid Tics: This controls how many lines are drawn parallel to the X Axis (Time
Line), as well as how many tick marks are placed on the Y Axis.
Woodward 37
Decimals: Controls how many decimal places are shown for all data displayed on
the graph. This is also used to control how many decimals places are used when
data is written to a log file.
Length of Window (sec): Approximate time that it takes a given point to go from
the far right side of the graph to the left side.
Graph Update (msec): How often the graph is redrawn. Note that if this value is
set too small (such that the graph will not be moved at least one pixel per
update), it is automatically set so that the graph will move one pixel per update.
This also controls how often data is written to a log file if logging is enabled.
Time Update (msec): Controls how often the time stamp is placed on the graph.
Background Color: Allows the background of the graph window to be changed.

Useful for showing contrast.
Grid Color: Changes the grid color if the grid is displayed.
Graph Text Color: Changes the color of the text for the time when it is written to
the graph window, if show time is enabled.
Enable Logging: Enables or disables logging.
Log Time: Toggles whether or not the time stamp is placed with every data set in
the log file. If a simple relational log is needed, it is not useful to log the time.
However if you need to generate a scatter plot or perform more complex data
analysis, a time stamp is necessary.
Log File Name: The path and filename of the log file.
Max and Min Values

Reset Max & Min: Will reset the Max and Min values for the current axis to the
current value.
Reset All Max & Min: Will reset Max and Min values for all of the pens.
Show Max & Min: Will bring up a dialog displaying the Max, Min, and the
difference in a numerical format.

Hand Held Programmer and Menus

The Hand Held Programmer is a hand-held computer terminal that gets its power
from the 723PLUS control. The terminal connects to the RS-422 communication
serial port on the control (terminal J1). To connect the terminal, slightly loosen
the right-hand screw in the cover over J1 and rotate the cover clockwise to
expose the 9-pin connector. Then firmly seat the connector on the terminal into
J1. Remove the jumper between terminals 9 and 10 to set port J1 for hand held
interface.
The programmer does a power-up self-test whenever it is plugged into the

control. When the self-test is complete, the screen will display two lines of
information pertaining to the application. Press the ID key to display the part
number and revision level of the software in the control. Refer to this number and
revision level in any correspondence with Woodward (write this information in the
Programming Checklist, Appendix D).
The programmer screen is a four-line, backlighted LCD display. The display

permits you to look at two separate functions or menu items at the same time.
Use the Up/Down Arrow key to toggle between the two displayed items. The
BKSP and SPACE keys will scroll through the display to show the remainder of a
prompt if it is longer than the display screen's 19 characters.
The 723PLUS has two sets of menus, the Service menus and the Configure
menus. The Service menus allow easy access and tuning while the engine is
running. The Configure menus may be entered only if the I/O is shut down (the
engine is stopped).
Woodward 39
Configure Menus
To access the Configure menus, the engine must be shutdown. Press the . key.
The display will show, 'To select configure, press enter'. Press the ENTER key
and the display will show, 'To shutdown I/O, press enter'. Press the ENTER key
and this will allow you into the Configure menus. Note: If the engine is running
during this process, it will be shutdown due to shutting down the I/O of the
control. To move between the menus use the Right Arrow and Left Arrow
keys. To move through the set points within a menu, use the UP Arrow and
Down Arrow keys. Once within a menu, to return to the menu header, press the
ESC key.
To leave the Configure menus press the ESC key. The set points will be
automatically saved when leaving Configure.
Service Menus
To access the Service menus press the Down Arrow key. To move between
menus, and to move through set points within menus follow the instructions as
for the Configure menus. To return to the menu header, or to leave Service,
press the ESC key.
Adjusting Set Points

To adjust a set point, use the Turtle Up or the Rabbit Up keys to increase the
value, and the Turtle Down or Rabbit Down keys to decrease the value. The
Rabbit Up and Rabbit Down keys will make the rate of change faster than the
Turtle Up and Turtle Down keys. This is useful during initial setup where a
value may need to be changed significantly. Where necessary, to select TRUE,
use either the Turtle Up or the Rabbit Up keys, and to select FALSE, use the
Turtle Down or Rabbit Down keys.
To obtain an exact value, press the = key. Key in the required figure and press
ENTER.
This may be done in CONFIGURE MODE. This may also be done in

SERVICE MODE only when the figure is within 10% of the existing
value.
To save set points at any time, use the SAVE key. This will transfer all new set
point values into the EEPROM memory. The EEPROM retains all set points
when power is removed from the control.

40 Woodward
Hand Held Programmer Keys

Figure 3-1. Hand Held Programmer Functions
Configuration Menu Descriptions

CFIG Options
1. USE REVERSE ACTING should be set to TRUE for reverse acting
actuators and FALSE for forward acting actuators (default is FALSE).
Forward-acting actuators require increased current to increase fuel.
Reverse-acting actuators require decreased current to increase fuel
(reverse-acting actuators should always incorporate a mechanical ballhead
backup governor, such as the Woodward EGB).
2. USE 2nd DYNAMICS should be set TRUE to bring into view the 2nd
SPEED DYNAMICS menu when the 2nd Dynamics discrete input is TRUE
and permit the use of the 2nd Dynamics function. Set to FALSE to disable
the 2nd Dynamics function and conceal the 2nd SPEED DYNAMICS menu.
42 Woodward
3. USE 5-GAIN MAP should be set TRUE to bring into view the 1st
DYNAMICS- 5 GAIN menu and permit the use of a 5-Gain Curve for setting
the control gain as a function of fuel demand. If Use 2nd Dynamics is also
set TRUE, the 2nd DYNAMICS- 5 GAIN menu will appear when the 2nd
Dynamics discrete input is TRUE and permit the use of a second 5-Gain
Curve. These two curves each provide 5 tunable gain settings at 5 tunable
fuel demand breakpoints. When USE CONST DYNAMICS is also set
FALSE, the 5-gain curve settings are varied by the ratio of actual engine
speed to rated speed (e.g., at 50% speed the gain setting is also reduced by
50%). Set to FALSE to disable the 5-gain curve function and conceal the
DYNAMICS- 5 GAIN menus.
4. USE CONST DYNAMICS should be set to TRUE to enable constant

dynamics. Set to FALSE to allow variable dynamics which will vary the
speed control gain setting by the ratio of actual engine speed to rated speed
and the reset setting by the ratio of rated speed to actual engine speed.
5. USE EXT FUEL LIMIT should be set to TRUE to bring into view the EXT
FUEL LIMIT CURVE menu and permit the use of the External Fuel Limit.
The External Fuel Limit function provides five tunable limits of the fuel
demand at five tunable external input breakpoints. Normally an air manifold
pressure transmitter is used as the Ext Fuel Limit input device. Set to
FALSE to disable the Ext Fuel Limit function and conceal the EXT FUEL
LIMIT CURVE menu.
6. USE COMM PORTS should be set to TRUE to bring into view the
configuration and service menus for Communication Ports 2 and 3 and
DSLC. Set to FALSE to conceal the Communication Ports 2 and 3
configuration and service menus.
7. USE REMOTE COMMANDS is set to FALSE to block remote Modbus

Boolean and Analog write commands and enable the discrete and analog
hardware input commands. Set to TRUE to enable Modbus Boolean and
Analog write commands. Modbus Boolean writes can also be used to
enable specific hardware input commands instead of the Modbus
commands.
8. REMOTE LOCK IN LAST is used to hold the last speed reference before
failure when the Remote Speed or Process Reference inputs fail. Set to
FALSE to disable REMOTE LOCK IN LAST. Set to TRUE to enable
REMOTE LOCK IN LAST.
9. RESET ALM ON CLEAR is set to TRUE to issue an alarm reset whenever

engine speed reaches 5% of rated speed during starting. Set to FALSE to
block this alarm reset function. A FALSE setting does not block other types
of alarm resets.
10. FORCE DISCRETE OUTPUTS should be set to TRUE to enable manual

control of the discrete outputs and disable automatic control. Set to FALSE
to disable manual control and enable automatic control (default is FALSE).
11. USE LOAD PULSE IN should be set to TRUE to enable the Load Pulse
Input when the Load Pulse Input is used. Set to FALSE to disable the Load
Pulse Input when the Load Pulse Input is not used.
12. USE TORSION FILTER should be set to TRUE to bring into view the
TORSIONAL FILTER menu and permit the use of the Flexible Coupling
Torsional Filter or the Notch Filter function. Set to FALSE to disable these
functions and conceal the TORSIONAL FILTER menu.
Woodward 43
13. USE NOTCH FILTER enables/disables a Notch Filter on the speed input(s).
Set TRUE to enable the notch filter and disable the torsional filter. Set to
FALSE to disable the notch filter and permit the torsional filter to be enabled.
14. ENABLE TORS LIMITER should be set to TRUE to enable a tunable

Torsional Fuel Limiter. Set FALSE to disable this Fuel Limiter.
15. USE START SPEED should be set to TRUE to enable a tunable Start
Speed Reference. Set to FALSE to disable the Start Speed Reference.
CFIG Speed Control

1. RATED SPEED sets the normal operating speed of the engine. It should be
set at the speed at which the engine is operated at full load.
2. DSPD #1 TEETH is the number of teeth or holes in the gear or flywheel that
speed sensor #1 is on. If the gear is running at camshaft speed (one-half
engine speed) then you must enter one-half the number of teeth on the
gear. The control requires the number of teeth per engine revolution. If a
flexible coupling is being used, DSPD #1 must be on the engine side of the
coupling.
3. DSPD #2 TEETH is the number of teeth or holes in the gear or flywheel that
speed sensor #2 is on. If the gear is running at camshaft speed (one-half
engine speed) then you must enter one-half the number of teeth on the
gear. The control requires the number of teeth per engine revolution. If a
flexible coupling is being used, DSPD #2 must be on the load side of the
coupling.
Better control performance will be obtained when sensing speed

from a gear rotating at full engine speed. Slower-speed gears (such
as the camshaft) provide a lower sampling rate which increases
control-loop response time and degrades performance.
The number of gear teeth is used by the control to convert pulses

from the speed-sensing device to engine rpm. To prevent possible
serious injury from an overspeeding engine, make sure the control is
properly programmed to convert the gear-tooth count into engine
rpm. Improper conversion could cause engine overspeed.
4. SS CLEAR PERCENTAGE should be set to a percentage of rated engine

speed that will verify a valid MPU signal exists while the engine is cranking
(default is 5% of rated).
5. MPU ALARM ARM TIME is the time delay to wait before latching armed the
MPU failure alarm and shutdown functions once a valid MPU signal is
detected. Opening the Close to Run contact resets the latch block to
prevent MPU failure alarm and shutdown conditions from occurring with
normal stops.
44 Woodward
CFIG Shutdown/Alarms
1. SPEED #1 FAIL sets the condition which will occur when a loss of the
speed sensor #1 input signal has been detected. This condition may be
enabled as a Shutdown, Alarm, or both, by selecting TRUE in the
appropriate menu. This condition is disarmed when the Run/Stop discrete
input is used to stop the engine.
2. SPEED #2 FAIL sets the condition which will occur when a loss of the
speed sensor #2 input signal has been detected. This condition may be
appropriate menu. This condition is disarmed when the Run/Stop discrete
input is used to stop the engine.
3. SPEED #1 AND #2 FAIL sets the condition which will occur when a loss of
both speed sensor #1 and #2 input signals has been detected. This
condition may be enabled as a Shutdown, Alarm, or both, by selecting
TRUE in the appropriate menu. This condition is disarmed when the
Run/Stop discrete input is used to stop the engine.
4. REMOTE INPUT FAIL sets the condition which will occur when the Remote
Speed Setting input drops below 2 mA or increases above 21 mA. This
condition may be enabled as a Shutdown, Alarm, or both, by selecting
TRUE in the appropriate menu.
5. EXT FUEL LIMIT FAIL sets the condition which will occur when the External
Fuel Limit input drops below 2 mA or increases above 21 mA. This condition
may be enabled as a Shutdown, Alarm, or both, by selecting TRUE in the
appropriate menu.
6. MODBUS PORT2 FAIL sets the condition which will occur when a Port 2
Link Error occurs. This condition may be enabled as a Shutdown, Alarm, or
both, by selecting TRUE in the appropriate menu.
7. MODBUS PORT3 FAIL sets the condition which will occur when a Port 3
Link Error occurs. This condition may be enabled as a Shutdown, Alarm, or
both, by selecting TRUE in the appropriate menu.
8. DSLC LON ERROR sets the condition which will occur when a DSLC LON
Error occurs. This condition may be enabled as a Shutdown, Alarm, or both,
by selecting TRUE in the appropriate menu.
9. HIGH FUEL DEMND LEVEL sets the condition which will occur when the
fuel demand rises above the HI FUEL DEMND SETPT. This condition may
be enabled as a Shutdown, Alarm,, or both, by selecting TRUE in the
appropriate menu.
10. HIGH SPEED LEVEL sets the condition which will occur when the engine
speed rises above the HI SPEED SETPOINT. This condition may be
appropriate menu.
11. HI TORSIONAL LEVEL sets the condition which will occur when the
TORSION LEVEL SETPT has been exceeded. This condition may be
appropriate menu.
Woodward 45

46 Woodward
5. TORSION LEVEL SETPTEnter the engine torsional vibration fault level
(%RPM) required to trigger the HI TORSIONAL LEVEL shutdown.
The torsional vibration fault level is a percentage of the full scale

torsional vibration which is scaled using TORS SCALE on the
TORSIONAL FILTER service menu. Scaling sets the value of
torsional vibration (as a % rated engine rpm) which equals the full
scale (100%) torsional vibration level. For example, at a rated rpm of
1200 and a TORS SCALE setting of 1% of rated, the full scale
torsional vibration in rpm is 1% of 1200 or 12 rpm. At a TORSION
LEVEL SETPT of 50% rpm, a HI TORSIONAL LEVEL shutdown will be
triggered when the torsional vibration level is at or above 50% of 12
rpm or 6 rpm torsional vibration.
Be sure the TORS SCALE (% RT RPM) is properly set. It can be found

on the TORSIONAL FILTER service menu . Default setting is 1% of
rated rpm.
6. HI TORSION DELAYEnter the delay time in seconds that the torsional

level is above the TORSION LEVEL SETPT before the HIGH TORSION
LEVEL shutdown is activated.
7. ENERGIZE FOR SHTDWN is set to TRUE to energize Relay Output #1 with

any configured shutdown condition. Set to FALSE to de-energize Relay
Output #1 with any configured shutdown condition.
8. SHUTDOWN ACT ON SD is set to TRUE to shutdown the speed control

fuel actuator with any shutdown condition. Set to FALSE to prevent
shutdown of the speed control fuel actuator with any shutdown condition.

exceeds the HI FUEL DEMND SETPT.
3. HI SPEED SETPOINTEnter the engine speed fault level (rpm) required to

trigger the HI SPEED LEVEL alarm.
4. HI SPEED DELAYEnter the delay time (in seconds) to wait before the HI
SPEED LEVEL alarm is issued after engine speed exceeds the HI SPEED
SETPT.
Woodward 47
5. TORSION LEVEL SETPTEnter the engine torsional vibration fault level
(%RPM) required to trigger the HI TORSIONAL LEVEL alarm.
The torsional vibration fault level is a percentage of the full scale

torsional vibration which is scaled using TORS SCALE on the
TORSIONAL FILTER service menu. Scaling sets the value of
torsional vibration (as a % rated engine rpm) which equals the full
scale (100%) torsional vibration level. For example, at a rated rpm of
1200 and a TORS SCALE setting of 1% of rated, the full scale
torsional vibration in rpm is 1% of 1200 or 12 rpm. At a TORSION
LEVEL SETPT of 25% rpm, a HI TORSIONAL LEVEL alarm will be
triggered when the torsional vibration level is at or above 25% of 12
rpm or 3 rpm torsional vibration.
Be sure the TORS SCALE (% RT RPM) is properly set. It can be found

on the TORSIONAL FILTER service menu . Default setting is 1% of
Rated RPM.
6. HI TORSION DELAYEnter the delay time in seconds that the torsional

level is above the TORSION LEVEL SETPT before the HIGH TORSION
LEVEL alarm is activated.

1st Dynamics/2nd Dynamics Menu

Dynamic adjustments are settings that affect the stability and transient
performance of the engine. There are two sets of dynamics provided. The set
being used is selected by the 2nd Dynamics contact input. The control uses the
1st dynamics when the 2nd Dynamics contact is open, and it uses the 2nd
dynamics when the contact is closed.
The following descriptions of each menu item apply to either set. Also see
Figures 3-2, 3-3, and 3-4.
1. GAIN determines how fast the control responds to an error in engine speed
from the speed-reference setting. The Gain is set to provide stable control of
the engine at light or unloaded conditions.
2. RESET compensates for the lag time of the engine. It adjusts the time
required for the control to return the speed to zero error after a disturbance.
Reset is adjusted to prevent slow hunting and to minimize speed overshoot
after a load disturbance.
Woodward 53
3. COMPENSATION compensates for the actuator and fuel system time
constant. Increasing Compensation increases actuator activity and transient
performance.
4. GAIN RATIO is the ratio of the Gain setting at steady state to the Gain
setting during transient conditions. The Gain Ratio operates in conjunction
with the Window Width and Gain adjustments by multiplying the Gain set
point by the Gain Ratio when the speed error is greater than the Window
Width. This makes the control dynamics fast enough to minimize engine-
speed overshoot on start-up and to reduce the magnitude of speed error
when loads are changing. This allows a lower gain at steady state for better
stability and reduced steady-state actuator linkage movement. (See Figure
3-2.)
5. WINDOW WIDTH is the magnitude (in rpm) of a compensated speed error

(Ec) at which the control automatically switches to fast response. The
control uses the absolute value of compensated speed error (Ec) to make
this switch. The absolute value is the difference between the speed
reference (Nr) and the compensated speed (Nc). A Window Width too
narrow will result in cycling that always factors in the Gain Ratio. (See
Figure 3-2.)
6. GAIN SLOPE BK PNT sets the percent output above which the Gain Slope
becomes effective. It should usually be set just above the minimum load
output. (See Figure 3-3.)
7. GAIN SLOPE changes Gain as a function of actuator output. Since actuator

output is proportional to engine load, this makes Gain a function of engine
load. Gain Slope operates in conjunction with the Gain Slope Breakpoint
adjustment to increase (or decrease) Gain when percent Actuator Output is
greater than the breakpoint. This compensates for systems having high (or
low) gain at low load levels. This allows the Gain setting to be lower at light
or no load for engine stability, yet provide good control performance under
loaded conditions. (See Figure 3-3.)
8. SPEED FILTER FREQ adjusts the cutoff frequency of a low pass filter used
on the engine speed sensing input (see Figure 3-5). To use this feature set
the cutoff frequency below 15.9 Hz. The filter is used to attenuate engine
firing frequencies. To calculate the desired filter cutoff point, use the
following formulas:
camshaft frequency = (engine rpm)/60 [for 2-cycle engines]

= (engine rpm)/120 [for 4-cycle engines]
firing frequency = camshaft frequency x number of cylinders
Initially set the filter frequency to the firing frequency.
As the filter frequency is reduced, steady state stability improves but

transient performance may worsen. As the filter frequency is increased,
steady state stability worsens but transient performance may improve.
If the calculated firing frequency is greater that 15.9 Hz, then disable
the filter by setting the filter cutoff frequency at or above 15.9 Hz.
54 Woodward
9. BUMP ACT allows you to test your dynamics settings by temporarily applying
a decreased fuel demand transient to stimulate a control response. Both the
magnitude (Act Bump Level) and duration (Act Bump Duration) of the
transient may be set. See the ACTUATOR BUMP menu. To initiate an
actuator bump, toggle Bump Act to TRUE then back to FALSE while the
engine is operating in a normal steady state loaded or unloaded condition.
Be prepared to change the dynamics settings since the actuator

bump transient may stimulate instability.
BUMP ENABLE must be set TRUE to enable the BUMP ACT function.
See the ACTUATOR BUMP menu.
1st Dynamics/2nd Dynamics5 Gain

This menu and control function is enabled when CFIG OPTION USE 5-GAIN
MAP is TRUE and provides a 5-point curve as a function of fuel demand for the
variable GAIN setpoint. It is useful in applications that have a non-linear fuel
valve (such as butterfly valves).
1. BREAKPOINT A is set at the no-load actuator 1 output % fuel demand.
2. GAIN @ BREAKPOINT A is the no-load GAIN setting.
3. BREAKPOINT B is set at the 25 % load actuator 1 output % fuel demand.
4. GAIN @ BREAKPOINT B is the 25 % load GAIN setting.
5. BREAKPOINT C is set at the 50 % load actuator 1 output % fuel demand.
6. GAIN @ BREAKPOINT C is the 50 % load GAIN setting.
7. BREAKPOINT D is set at the 75 % load actuator 1 output % fuel demand.
8. GAIN @ BREAKPOINT D is the 75 % load GAIN setting.
9. BREAKPOINT E is set at the 100 % load actuator 1 output % fuel demand.
10. GAIN @ BREAKPOINT E is the 100 % load GAIN setting.
11. RESET compensates for the lag time of the engine. It adjusts the time
required for the control to return the speed to zero error after a disturbance.
Reset is adjusted to prevent slow hunting and to minimize speed overshoot
following a load disturbance.
12. COMPENSATION compensates for the actuator and fuel system time
constant. Increasing Compensation increases actuator activity and improves
transient performance. Decreasing compensation decreases actuator
activity but transient performance may worsen.

13. GAIN RATIO is the ratio of the Gain setting at steady state to the Gain
setting during transient conditions. The Gain Ratio operates in conjunction
with the Window Width and Gain adjustments by multiplying the Gain
setpoint by the Gain Ratio when the speed error is greater than the Window
Width. This makes the control dynamics fast enough to minimize engine
speed overshoot on start-up and to reduce the magnitude of speed errors
when loads are changing. This allows a lower gain at steady state for better
stability and reduced steady-state actuator linkage movement (see Figure
3-2).
14. WINDOW WIDTH is the magnitude (in rpm) of a compensated speed error
(Ec) at which the control automatically switches to fast response. The
control uses the absolute value of the compensated speed error (Ec) to
make this switch. The absolute value is the difference between the speed
reference (Nr) and the compensated speed (Nc). A Window Width too
narrow will result in cycling that always factors in the Gain Ratio (see Figure
3-2).
15. SPEED FILTER FREQ is the cutoff frequency of a low pass filter used on
the speed sensing input (see Figure 3-5). To use this feature set the cutoff
frequency below 15.9 Hz. The filter is used to attenuate engine firing
frequencies. To calculate the desired filter cutoff point, use the following
formulas:
Camshaft frequency = (engine rpm)/60 [for 2 cycle engines]

= (engine rpm)/120 [for 4 cycle engines]
Firing frequency = Camshaft frequency x number of power cylinders
Initially set the filter frequency to the Firing frequency.
58 Woodward
As the filter frequency is reduced, steady state stability improves but
transient performance may worsen. As the filter frequency is increased,
steady state stability worsens but transient performance may improve.
If the calculated firing frequency is greater that 15.9 Hz, then disable
the filter by setting the filter cutoff frequency at or above 15.9 Hz.
16. BUMP ACTUATOR allows you to test your dynamics settings by temporarily
applying a decrease fuel demand transient to stimulate a control response.
Both the magnitude and duration (Act Bump Duration) of the transient may
be set. See the ACTUATOR BUMP menu. To initiate an actuator bump,
toggle Bump Act to TRUE then back to FALSE while the engine is operating
in a normal steady state loaded or unloaded condition.
Be prepared to change the dynamics settings since the actuator

bump transient may stimulate instability.
BUMP ENABLE must be set to TRUE to enable the BUMP ACT

function. See the ACTUATOR BUMP menu.
Actuator Bump
1. BUMP ENABLED is set to TRUE to enable the actuator bump for 60
minutes. Set to FALSE to disable this function.
2. ACT BUMP LEVEL is set in % fuel demand for the desired bump level.
3. ACT BUMP DURATION is set in seconds for the desired bump duration.
Torsional Filter
Torsional filter adjustments are the settings that affect the controls ability to react
to flexible coupling torsionals. A Notch Filter is also provided with this control as
an alternate filtering means for single speed sensor applications requiring
torsional filtering.
To use the notch filter, make sure that the speed sensor(s) used are
only on the engine side of the flexible coupling.
The notch filter is a bandstop filter. It rejects specific frequencies and allows all
others to pass. The idea is to reject the torsional (frequency on a frequency)
frequencies that the coupling produces, so that the actuator will not respond to
speed sensor changes it cannot control with the fuel. Systems with low frequency
oscillatory modes due to engine and driven load inertias and flexible couplings
are difficult to control. In the notch filter approach, no attempt is made to map the
oscillatory modes, but an effort is made to reduce the signal transmission through
the controller by a filter that drastically reduces the signal gain at the resonant
frequency.
There are two adjustmentsNOTCH FREQUENCY and NOTCH Q FACTOR.
Woodward 59
The NOTCH FREQUENCY is the center frequency of rejection, and the units are
defined in hertz. In tuning the notch filter, the resonant frequency must be
identified and entered. The allowed frequency range of the notch filter is 0.5 to
16.0 Hz.
The NOTCH Q FACTOR is the width about the NOTCH FREQUENCY that the
filter rejects, and is dimensionless. The Q factor has a tuning range of 0.707 to
25.0. At the minimum value 0.707, there is no attenuation of signal gain at the
resonant frequency, and the filter gain equals one. At the maximum value 20.0, a
maximum attenuation of signal gain occurs at the resonant frequency, and the
filter gain equals 0.035. In general, the filter gain at the resonant frequency is
0.707/Q factor.
Figure 3-6. Notch Filter
1. ENABLE TORS FILTER enables the Flexible Coupling filtering function

when set to TRUE. When set to FALSE the function is disabled.
2. ENG SENSOR WEIGHT is the inertia ratio setting between the engine
inertia and the system inertia. Set the value equal to engine inertia divided
by (engine inertia + driven load inertia).
3. TORS SCALE (%RATED) is the percentage of rated rpm that corresponds

to 100% torsional measurement in the 723PLUS. Example: TORS
SCALE=1%, RATED=1200 rpm, Torsional RPM=6 rpm, therefore torsional
measurement:
6
(1200 x 0.01) = 50%
This only has an effect on the measurement value and has NO effect on the
actual dynamic response of the control. Should be left at default value for
normal operation.
60 Woodward
4. TORSNL FUEL LIMIT is the percentage of Fuel Demand the actuator
output will be limited to when the torsional measurement level exceeds the
TORSNL LEVEL @LIMIT(%).
5. TORSNL LEVEL @LIMIT(%) is the torsional level at which the TORSNL

FUEL LIMIT is activated.
6. TORSNL LEVEL @CLEAR(%) is the torsional level at which the TORSNL

FUEL LIMIT is deactivated.
7. NOTCH FREQUENCY is set at the center frequency in hertz of a band stop

filter (see Figure 3-6).
8. NOTCH Q FACTOR will set the filter attenuation and width about the center
frequency (see Figure 3-6).
9. TORSIONAL LEVEL displays the torsional level as a percentage of the full

scale torsional vibration.
10. TORSNL FILTR ACTIVE displays whether the torsional filter is enabled and
active (TRUE) or disabled (FALSE).
11. TORSIONAL LIMIT LVL displays the torsional limit applied to the speed
control as a % fuel demand limit.
The notch filter is enabled when CFIG OPTION menu items USE
TORSION FILTER and USE NOTCH FILTER are set to TRUE, and
TORSIONAL FILTER menu item ENABLE TORS FILTER is set to
TRUE. Otherwise the notch filter is disabled.
Fuel Limiters
Fuel limiters restrain the fuel demand from the control to the actuator.
1. START FUEL LIMIT limits the percent fuel demand when the engine is
started. The limit is usually set at the fuel level required to start the engine.
The limiter is disabled when the engine speed exceeds 95% of speed
reference (see Figure 3-7).
The limiter begins out of the way at 100% with no speed. Upon speed clear,
START FUEL LIMIT immediately limits the fuel to the start fuel limit. The
limiter then ramps at START RAMP %/sec until the speed has reached
95% of reference and the Speed Control PID is in control for 1 second.
2. START RAMP %/sec establishes the start limiter ramping rate at which the
fuel demand increases to assist starting in colder ambient conditions.
3. MAX FUEL LIMIT sets the maximum percent fuel demand. Maximum
(100%) is based on 200 mA. This is an electronic rack stop which is active
in all modes of operation.
Woodward 61
Figure 3-7. Start Limit Function
Speed Setting Menu

Speed adjustments are the settings that affect the speed reference.
1. START SPEED is the initial speed reference for the speed control prior to
starting. Start Speed must be set above cranking speed and below the
speed achieved with the start fuel limit setting (light-off speed). A ramp from
the Start Speed to idle or rated, whichever is selected and permissive,
begins when the engine accelerates to Start Speed. The ramp time is the
accel ramp time setting or the decel ramp time setting as determined by the
idle/rated selection and permissives.
2. RAISE SPEED LIMIT is the maximum speed reference setting. It is used to

limit the Raise Speed and Remote Speed Setting inputs to a maximum. It
normally is set at the speed at which the engine operates at full load.
3. LOWER SPEED LIMIT is the minimum speed reference setting. It is used to

limit the Lower Speed and Remote Speed Setting inputs to a minimum. It
normally is set at the minimum operating speed of the engine.
4. IDLE SPEED is the speed that the speed reference ramp goes to when the
Close for Rated Discrete Input is OPEN. It is normally the speed at which
the engine is operated at start-up. It is also used during cool down.
To prevent possible death or serious injury from an overspeeding

engine, Idle speed must be set the same as or lower than Rated
speed.
62 Woodward
Be sure to avoid critical speeds when setting idle speed.
5. ACCEL RAMP TIME is the time required for the control to ramp the engine
speed from Idle speed to Rated speed. The ramp is started whenever the
Idle/Rated contact is closed.
6. DECEL RAMP TIME is the time required for the control to ramp the engine
speed from Rated speed to Idle speed. The ramp is started whenever the
Idle/Rated contact is opened.
Actual engine deceleration may be slower than set by the Decel

Ramp Time set point. This occurs when the Decel Ramp Time set
point is faster than the amount of time that system inertias allow the
engine to slow down. This condition is indicated by the control
actuator output going to the minimum fuel position.
7. RAISE SPEED RATE is the rate at which the speed reference is ramped
when using the Raise Speed input, as well as when the Remote Speed
Setting input is changed in the increase direction. A step change on the
remote input does not cause an immediate change in the reference. Instead,
it is ramped to the new setting at the Raise Speed Rate.
8. LOWER SPEED RATE is the rate at which the speed reference is ramped
when using the Lower Speed input, as well as when the Remote Speed
Setting input is changed in the decrease direction. A step change on the
remote input does not cause an immediate change in the reference. Instead,
it is ramped to the new setting at the Lower Speed Rate.
Droop
Droop settings affect parallel operation loading parameters.
1. LOAD DROOP PERCENT is the percentage of rated speed the speed

reference will droop when the generator load is increased to maximum load.
Set to desired droop percent.
2. FUEL DEMAND @MIN LD must be set at the percentage of fuel demand

when operating at rated speed/no-load. This establishes the 0% internal
load measurement for droop.
3. FUEL DEMAND @MAX LD must be set at the percentage of fuel demand

when operating at rated speed/rated-load. This establishes the 100%
internal load measurement for droop.
Woodward 63
Ext Fuel Lmt Curve

The External Fuel Limiter Curve limits the fuel demand based on a two-
dimensional curve and an external 420 mA device connected to Analog Input
#4. This function is predominantly used to limit fuel demand during a sudden load
increase to prevent overfueling due to turbocharger lag as sensed by a Manifold
Air Pressure input (although other inputs may be used). Limiting fuel demand
minimizes smoke on diesel engines, and load transient detonation on gas and
dual-fuel engines. In extreme cases, this limit can also prevent flooding of gas
and dual-fuel engines. Normally, the load transient performance is not degraded
since the lack of combustion air (not fuel) is the transient performance limiting
factor. However, setting the fuel demand limit too low can degrade transient
performance.
A five-point curve is constructed using the engine manufacturers recommended

settings for EXT FUEL LMT versus Fuel Demand. Refer to Figure 3-8. The X
values are the Breakpoints and the Y values are the Fuel Limit at the
Breakpoints. All values between the designated breakpoints are interpolated.
Figure 3-8. Torque Limit Curve
1. ENABLE EXT FUEL LMT enables and disables the fuel limiter, which uses
the External Fuel Limiter input to limit the actuator output. If the fuel limiter is
disabled, the fuel limiter breakpoint settings will not be used.
2. EXT LIMIT BRKPNT X is the External Fuel Limiter value that designates
that particular breakpoint (x-axis input in Figure 3-8).
3. FUEL LIMIT @ BRKPNT X is the percent fuel demand allowed when the
External Fuel Limiter input is at that respective Breakpoint (y-axis output in
Figure 3-8).

Comm Port Setup

The 723PLUS control has two serial ports that are configured to support the
Modbus Protocol. The ports are configured in this menu for the type of hardware
interface and other parameters. Both ports have monitoring information available
that can be retrieved by a Modbus master device such as a PC-based Human
Machine Interface (HMI). Ports 2 and 3 support either Modbus ASCII or RTU.
This is selected in the Configure Menu CFIG COMMUNICATION. Port 3 also
allows commands to be sent from the Modbus Master Device to the control. (See
the Modbus Register List, Appendix C, for the addresses).
1. LON SERVICE PIN tells the LON Neuron Processor to send out its unique
ID over the network. This is used in the LON network binding installation
procedures.
2. RESET LON resets all associated LON software and the NEURON chip in
this particular 723PLUS.
3. PORT 2 HARDWARE CFIG determines if the port is set for RS-232,

RS-422, or RS-485 based on:
1 = RS-232

6 = 19200
7 = 38400
If ports J2 or J3 require 19200 or higher baud rates, the baud rates

must be set to the same value for each port.
5. PORT 2 STOP BITS determines the Stop Bits, based on:

1 = 1 stop bit
2 = 1.5 stop bits
3 = 2 stop bits
6. PORT 2 PARITY determines what parity the port uses, based on:
1 = no parity
2 = odd parity
3 = even parity
7. PORT 2 TIMEOUT sets the time period, in seconds, the Modbus slave will
wait for a master to query the 723PLUS. If the master connected to Port 2
does not poll within the timeout period, a configured MODBUS PORT 2 FAIL
shutdown and/or alarm will be activated.
Woodward 67
8. PORT 3 HARDWARE CFIG determines if the port is set for RS-232, RS-
422, or RS-485 based on:

Initial Adjustments
Introduction
This chapter contains information on control calibration. It includes initial prestart-
up and start-up settings and adjustments.
An improperly calibrated control could cause an engine overspeed or

other damage to the engine. To prevent possible serious injury from
an overspeeding engine, read this entire procedure before starting
the engine.
Start-up Adjustments
1. Complete the installation checkout procedure in Chapter 2 and the prestart
menu settings in Chapter 3.
2. Close the Run/Stop contact. Be sure the Idle/Rated contact is in idle (open).
Apply power to the control. Do NOT proceed unless the green POWER OK
and CPU OK indicators on the front of the control are on.
3. Check the speed sensor.
Minimum voltage required from the speed sensor to operate the control is
1.0 Vrms, measured at cranking speed or the lowest controlling speed. For
this test, measure the voltage while cranking, with the speed sensor
connected to the control. Before cranking, be sure to prevent the engine
from starting. At 5% of rated speed and 1.0 Vrms, the failed speed sensing
circuit function is cleared. If the red FAILED SPD SENSOR #1 indicator
remains on, shut down the engine.
Be prepared to make an emergency shutdown when starting the

engine, turbine, or other type of prime mover, to protect against
runaway or overspeed with possible personal injury, loss of life, or
property damage.
4. Start the engine.
If there is insufficient fuel to start the engine, increase the Start Fuel Limit
(Fuel Limiters Menu). (The control will reduce fuel as required when the
speed setting is reached. It may require extra fuel to accelerate the engine
to start speed or idle speed, whichever is configured.) It may take a few start
attempts to determine the final setting of the Start Fuel Limit. If the start time
is excessive (lightoff speed too slow), increase the Start Fuel Limit. If the
start time/lightoff speed is too fast or flooding occurs, decrease the Start
Fuel Limit. The start speed reference, if configured, must be set above
cranking speed but below the speed achieved with the start fuel limit setting
(light-off speed). We recommend trying both hot and cold starts to determine
a final setting.
Woodward 79
5. Adjust for stable operation.
If the engine is hunting at a rapid rate, slowly decrease the Gain until
performance is stable. If the engine is hunting at a slow rate, increase the
Reset time. If increasing the Reset time does not stabilize the engine, it also
may be necessary to slowly decrease the Gain OR to slowly decrease the
Gain and increase the Compensation.
This completes the start-up adjustments. We recommend saving the settings at

this time by pressing the SAVE key on the Hand Held Programmer or by saving
settings with the 723PLUS DSLC Control standard PC Interface or Watch
Window (Refer to help if you need help). The Programmer will display the
message Saving Changes. The PC Interface or Watch Window has a pop-up
box that says the value have been saved.
Dynamic Adjustments
The objective of the dynamic adjustments is to obtain the optimum, stable engine
speed response from minimum speed/load to full speed and load. All
adjustments apply to both 1st dynamics (2nd Dynamics contact open) and 2nd
dynamics (2nd Dynamics contact closed).
Do the following adjustments first for 1st dynamics (2nd Dynamics contact open).
Use the 1st Dynamics Menu to set the 1st dynamics, if changes are needed.
Then repeat the adjustments for 2nd dynamics (2nd Dynamics contact closed).
Use the 2nd Dynamics Menu to set the 2nd dynamics, if changes are needed.
1. No-Load Adjustments
Do this adjustment without load applied.
Slowly increase the Gain set point until the actuator output or engine speed
becomes slightly unstable, then reduce the Gain as necessary to stabilize
the engine.
After acceptable performance at no load, record the Actuator Output as read

on the Display Menu. Set the Gain Slope Breakpoint (1st Dynamics Menu)
to this reading.
Observe the movement of the actuator. If the activity of the actuator is

excessive, reduce the Speed Filter Frequency slightly below 15.9. Additional
reduction of the filter frequency may improve actuator stability even more
but may worsen transient load response. Keep this in mind when transient
load testing is performed and set the filter frequency for optimum stability
and transient response. If necessary, reduce the Gain set point slightly to
achieve an acceptable actuator movement level.
80 Woodward
If there is a slow periodic cycling of the engine speed above and below the
speed setting, there are two possible causes:
Gain is too high and Reset is too low. Reduce the Gain by 50% (i.e., if
the Gain was 0.02, reduce it to 0.01) and increase Reset slightly.
Observe the movement of the actuator or actuator output. Continue to
increase Reset until the movement is active and acceptable but not
rapid or excessive. A final value of Reset should be between 1.0 and
2.0 for most large engines. If the Reset value exceeds 2.0, but this
procedure continues to improve performance, increase the
Compensation set point 50% and repeat the procedure.
Gain is too low. If the preceding procedure does not improve the slow
periodic cycling of the engine speed, the control may be limiting cycling
through the low gain control region set by the Window Width set point.
Increase the Gain set point to minimize the cycling. If actuator
movement becomes excessive, reduce the Compensation set point
until movement is acceptable. In some cases, Compensation may be
reduced to zero and only the Gain and Reset adjustments used. This
should be done only if necessary to eliminate excessive actuator
response to misfiring or other periodic disturbances. Reduce the
Window Width set point until the limit cycle amplitude is acceptable
without excessive rapid actuator movement.
2. Full Load Adjustment
Do these adjustments at the speed and load at which the engine is most
often operated.
If operation in this range is satisfactory, no further dynamic adjustments are

necessary. If during changes in load or an actuator bump, excessive speed
errors occur, increase the Gain Slope adjustment until engine performance
is satisfactory.
If excessive actuator movement again occurs, do procedure 3, then repeat

procedure 2. If the settling time after a load change is too long, reduce the
Reset set point slightly and increase the Gain slightly. If slow-speed hunting
occurs after a load change but decreases or stops in time, increase the
Reset set point slightly and reduce the Gain set point. See Figure 3-4.
The use of negative Gain Slope should be considered carefully. Low

gain at high fuel levels will result in poor load rejection response or
possible overspeed. To prevent possible serious injury from an
overspeeding engine, the Maximum Fuel Limit must be set near the
full load output current demand to prevent excessive integrator
windup and a subsequent low gain condition.
Woodward 81
3. When significant load changes occur, the control should switch
automatically to high gain (gain x gain ratio) to reduce the amplitude of the
speed error. Reduce (or increase) the Window Width set point to just greater
than the magnitude of acceptable speed error. A value of Gain Ratio too
high will cause the control to hunt through the low-gain region. This normally
will occur only if the Window Width is too low. If necessary to decrease the
Window Width to control limit cycling (identified by the engine speed slowly
cycling from below to above the speed setting by the amount of Window
Width), the Gain Ratio may be reduced for more stable operation.
When paralleled to the utility, speed error is created when corrective

bias signals following load changes are applied to the speed
reference by the DSLC control, droop, or Load Pulse Control inputs.
Speed errors are manifested as load transients instead of speed
transients. An actuator bump is recommended to test dynamic
settings when operating in parallel with the utility.
4. Verify that performance at all speed and load conditions is satisfactory and
repeat the above procedures if necessary. Full load rejection testing is
recommended as part of the performance testing.
5. While operating at full load, record the Actuator Output on the Display Menu.
Select the Maximum Fuel Limit set point on the Fuel Limiter Menu. Set at
approximately 10% over the full load output if desired, otherwise leave at
100%.
We recommend you check the operation from both hot and cold starts to obtain
the optimum stability under all conditions.
Speed Adjustments
Adjustment of the start, idle, rated, raise, and lower references should not require
further setting as they are precisely determined. The Remote Speed Setting input
and the Tachometer Output, however, involve analog circuits and may require
adjustment. These adjustments can be found on the Set Analog Inputs menu and
Set Analog Outputs menu.
1. 4 to 20 mA Remote Speed Setting Input
Apply 4 mA to the Remote Speed Setting Input. Be sure remote operation is

selected (Raise Speed and Lower Speed contacts both closed). If the
engine rpm is lower or higher than desired, increase or decrease the 4 mA
Remote Reference set point to obtain the correct speed. There may be a
small difference between the set point and actual speed which compensates
for the inaccuracies in the analog circuits.
Now apply 20 mA to the Remote Speed Setting Input. Wait until the ramp
stops. Increase or decrease the 20 mA Remote Reference set point to
obtain the engine rpm desired.
Repeat the above steps until the speeds at 4 mA and 20 mA are within your
required range.
82 Woodward
2. 4 to 20 mA Tachometer Output
Set engine speed to the speed desired for 4 mA output. If this is not
possible, skip this step or use a signal generator into the speed input with
the correct frequency corresponding to the desired rpm. Trim the Tach at 4
mA Output rpm set point for 4 mA set point output.
Set engine speed to the speed desired for 20 mA output. Trim the Tach at
20 mA Output rpm set point for 20 mA set point output.
Repeat the above steps until the speeds at 4 mA and 20 mA are within your
required range.
Torsional Adjustments
The Torsional Level is determined by the instantaneous difference in speed
between the two speed sensors. The difference in speed is an indication of the
energy stored or released by the flexible coupling. There are two separate
functions which can occur with the Torsional Level. One function (the Torsional
Filter Function) filters the two speed signals and provides a signal to the Speed
Filter Function and to the PID which reduces the speed change caused by the
flexible coupling. This function is adjusted by the value of item ENG SENSOR
WEIGHT in the TORSIONAL FILTER menu. The other function (the Torsional
Limit Function) provides a temporary maximum limit to the Fuel Demand. This
limit is adjusted with item TORSNL FUEL LIMIT. The temporary limit is set if the
Torsional Level exceeds the value adjusted by the item TORSNL LEVEL
@LIMIT. The limit is removed when the Torsional Level reduces below the value
adjusted by the item TORSNL LEVEL @CLEAR.
1. Set the ENG SENSOR WEIGHT with the following procedure. The Torsional
Level is the ratio between the engine inertia and the system inertia. If you
know these values then set the initial value of Engine Sensor Weight equal
to the engine inertia divided by the quantity (engine inertia + generator
inertia) and follow the procedure outlined below. If you dont know the
system inertia values, then start with the default value and follow the
procedure outlined below.
2. It is important to know what speed or load (or combination of speed and

load) causes the system to go into torsional instability. This is referred to
here as the torsional point. The torsional point can be found by bumping the
system using the Actuator Bump function in the dynamics menu. Be
prepared to move the system away from the torsional point if it goes
unstable. Bump the system at several different speeds and loads. If the
system remains stable, slightly increase the dynamic Gain and again bump
the system at several different speeds and loads. At some point, a torsional
oscillation may begin to occur which can be corrected with the Engine
Sensor Weight. Begin by reducing the value a small amount. After each
adjustment, approach the torsional point and see if the performance is
improving or degrading. If the performance is improving, continue making
small reductions until you find the value where no further improvements are
seen. If the performance is getting worse, begin increasing the value above
the initial Engine Sensor Weight and determine if any improvement is
observed. If the performance is improving, continue making small increases
until you find the value where no further improvements are seen.
Be sure to return the Dynamic Gain setting to its proper value.
Woodward 83
3. TORSNL FUEL LIMIT can be adjusted by finding the torsional point and
reducing the limit to a point where the Fuel Demand oscillations are
eliminated or reduced to safe levels. Initially set the item TORSNL LEVEL
@LIMIT to 0.00 to activate the limit (monitor the item TORSNL FILTER
ACTIVE in the Display Ctrl Mode to be sure the limit is active). Monitor the
item TORSIONAL LEVEL (%RPM) in the Display Menu and go to the
torsional point. Record the value of the TORSIONAL LEVEL. Reduce the
value of the TORSNL FUEL LIMIT in the Torsional Filter Menu to reduce or
eliminate the Fuel Demand oscillations. Once the oscillations are reduced
sufficiently, again record the value of the TORSIONAL LEVEL (%RPM).
4. TORSNL LEVEL @LIMIT can be adjusted to the reading recorded above for
the TORSIONAL LEVEL before the limit was reduced.
5. TORSNL LEVEL @CLEAR can be adjusted to the reading recorded above

for the TORSIONAL LEVEL after the limit was reduced.
The Torsional Limit Function may not be required if the Torsional

Filter function can reduce oscillations sufficiently. This situation is
desirable because the load is not affected while operating at the
torsion point.
Conclusion of Setup Procedures

This completes the adjustment chapter. Save the set points by pressing the
SAVE key on the Hand Held Programmer or save settings using the 723PLUS
DSLC Control standard PC Interface or Watch Window (Refer to help if you
need help). Run through all the set points and record them in Appendix D for
future reference. Settings can also be saved to a file using the 723PLUS DSLC
Control Standard PC Interface or Watch Window for later download. This can be
very useful if a replacement control is necessary or for start-up of another similar
unit. Power down the control for about 10 seconds. Restore power and verify that
all set points are as recorded.

Disconnect the Hand Held Programmer from the control (if applicable). The
723PLUS DSLC Control Standard PC Interface or Watch Window may remain
connected or removed from the control at the end users discretion. Close the
cover over J1 and re-tighten the retaining screw if connection is removed.

Chapter 5.
Description of Operation
General
This chapter provides an overview of the features and operation of the 723PLUS
Digital Speed Control. Figures 5-1 and 5-2 show the control block diagram, for
reference in the following descriptions.
The 723PLUS Digital Speed Control uses a 32-bit microprocessor for all control
functions. All control adjustments are made with a hand-held terminal/display that
communicates with the control via a serial port. The terminal/display is
disconnected from the control when not in service, to provide security against
tampering.
The speed sensors (8280-412, 8280-413, 8280-466, and 8280-467 controls)

contain a special tracking filter designed for reciprocating engines, which
minimizes the effects of flexible coupling torsionals. This provides exceptionally
smooth steady-state control and allows the control dynamics to be matched to
the engine rather than detuned to compensate for coupling torsionals. The speed
signal itself is usually provided by a magnetic pickup or proximity switch
supplying from 1 to 60 Vrms to the control. The control has two red indicators
which illuminate if a speed sensor signal is lost.
The control has a switching power supply with excellent spike, ripple, and EMI
(electromagnetic interference) rejection. Discrete inputs are optically isolated and
capable of rejecting EMI and variable resistance in switch or relay contacts.
Analog inputs are differential type with extra filtering for common-mode noise
rejection. This protects the control from spurious interference and noise, which
can cause speed and load shifts.
The control also provides 4 to 20 mA for configurable outputs. These outputs

may be used for an analog meter, recorder, or as input to a computer.
The 723PLUS control provides two separate serial interfaces for RS-232, RS-
422, or RS-485 communications. An industry-standard Modbus is available for
both ASCII and RTU protocols.
The 723PLUS control communicates, using the LonTalk protocol, with the DSLC
control and with optional LinkNet modules. LinkNet modules can be added to
provide additional I/O for monitoring and control. These modules are self-binding
to the 723PLUS control. The LinkNet Nodes include J-Type Thermocouple, RTD,
Analog Input, Analog Output, Discrete Input, and Discrete Output modules.
Additional I/O can be added for monitoring and control, these LinkNet Nodes
include J-Type Thermocouple, RTD, Analog Input, Analog Output, Discrete Input,
and Discrete Output modules.
Control Dynamics
The control algorithms used in the 723PLUS Industrial Speed/DSLC Control are
designed specifically for reciprocating engine applications. The control offers a
powerful set of dynamics to closely match a wide variety of fuel delivery systems
and processes.
Woodward 85
Constant dynamics remain fixed as entered and do not vary with engine speed.
Dynamics may still vary with fuel demand by using the 5-Gain mapped dynamics
or the gain slope. Constant dynamics are useful for fuel systems and processes
that tend to be equally stable at reduced speed and rated speed.
Variable dynamics vary gain by the ratio of actual engine speed to rated speed,
and inversely vary reset by the ratio of rated speed to actual engine speed. The
variable dynamics value is multiplied by the gain or the 5-Gain mapped dynamics
setting (whichever is elected). Variable dynamics are useful for fuel systems and
processes that tend to be less stable at reduced speed operation.
The 5-Gain mapped dynamics is a two-dimensional curve with five breakpoints

that vary gain as a function of fuel demand. The 5-Gain mapped dynamics
compensate for non-linear fuel systems and are useful for engines or processes
whose dynamics change in a non-linear manner with load.
Gain slope and gain breakpoint vary the gain linearly as a function of fuel
demand (load). This provides the flexibility to increase or decrease gain as load
increases (See Figure 3-3). Gain slope and gain breakpoint are available for both
constant and variable dynamics choices. It is disabled when 5-Gain mapped
dynamics is chosen. Gain slope and gain breakpoint are useful for fuel systems
and processes that tend to be less stable at reduced or increased load operation.
This function may be disabled by setting the gain slope at zero.
Figure 5-1. Simplified Block Diagram
86 Woodward
The control can automatically switch between two gain settings, based on engine
speed error, to provide improved transient load performance. Speed error is the
difference between the speed reference and compensated engine speed. The
control automatically increases gain by an adjustable ratio when a speed error
exceeding an adjustable window occurs (See Figure 3-2). During steady-state
constant-load operation, the control uses the base gain setting. This base gain is
adjusted by the user to a value which prevents the control from responding to
minor speed fluctuations inherent with reciprocating engines. This feature
essentially eliminates harmful jiggle of the actuator and fuel system linkage.
When the speed error exceeds an adjustable window width (e.g., during a load
transient), the control automatically increases gain by an adjustable ratio. This
increased gain produces a faster fuel response and quickly restores engine
speed at the speed reference. The base gain is restored once the control senses
a return to steady-state operation. This feature is available for all gain choices.
Furthermore, this feature is active when paralleled to a utility grid. Although
actual engine speed does not change, the speed reference is changed when
corrective bias signals are applied by the DSLC control, droop, or Load Pulse
Modules during load transients. Large corrective bias signals will produce a large
speed error to automatically increase gain.
The control also provides a second complete set of dynamic adjustments which
are selected when the 2nd Dynamics discrete input is activated. Two sets of
dynamics are useful where engine operating conditions change, such as in dual-
fuel engines or in electrical power generation systems where the unit may be
operated stand alone or in parallel with an infinite bus.
Speed Input
One or two speed sensors provide an engine speed signal to the control. The
method used to detect speed is hard configured for digital type detection. The
digital detection method senses speed very quickly and can respond to speed
changes very quickly.
Torsional Filter Function

When the Use Torsional Filter is configured FALSE, the two speed inputs are
sent to an HSS (High Signal Selector) which outputs the higher of the two inputs
to the speed control function.
When the Use Torsional Filter is configured TRUE, the torsional filter function is
enabled, which allows the control to effectively filter out the rapid speed changes
which are caused by a system with a flexible coupling as shown in Figure 1-1. A
flexible coupling can store energy when the engine is increasing torque to the
driven load, and the coupling can also release energy as the engine decreases
torque to the driven load. This effect causes the instantaneous change in speed
of the driven load to be different from the instantaneous change in speed of the
engine. The difference between these two values is referred to as the torsional
level. A high torsional level can cause the governor to over-respond to load and
speed changes, which can make the entire system unstable. Without torsional
filtering this would force the closed-loop dynamics to be de-tuned to prevent
instability in the system. Worse, as the coupling ages and becomes softer, the
closed loop dynamics need to be de-tuned further. At some point the engine will
fail to respond aggressively to load changes. The system may also become
unstable.
Woodward 87
Figure 5-2a. Detailed Block Diagram
88 Woodward
Figure 5-2b. Detailed Block Diagram
Woodward 89
The torsional filtering function requires two speed sensors. The function is
disabled if either of the speed sensors fail. A software switch in the Torsional
Filter menu can also be used to disable the function and return to the HSS
selection of the two speed sensors.
There are two separate actions which can be taken by the torsional filtering
function. The first action reduces the dynamic response to the fast speed
changes associated with the coupling while still allowing fast response to actual
system speed changes. The second action limits the fuel demand at the LSS if
the torsional value reaches an unacceptably high value. The Alarm and
Shutdown functions can be configured to activate if the torsional value gets too
high.
As an alternative filtering means, a Notch Filter is also included for single speed
sensor applications which require torsional filtering. In the notch filter approach,
no attempt is made to map the oscillatory modes, but an effort is made to reduce
the signal transmission through the controller by a filter that drastically reduces
the signal gain at the resonant frequency.
Minimum Fuel Function

The Minimum Fuel Function brings the fuel demand to zero. This occurs when
the Close to Run discrete input goes FALSE. It also occurs if both speed sensor
inputs have failed when the Spd Fail Override discrete input contact is open. The
Close to Run command is the preferred means for a normal shutdown of the
engine.
The Close to Run discrete input is not intended for use as the sole
means of shutdown in any emergency stop sequence. To prevent
possible serious injury and engine damage from an overspeeding
engine, do NOT use the Close to Run discrete input as the sole
means of shutdown in any emergency stop sequence.
Maximum Fuel Function

The Maximum Fuel Function is a software-adjustable maximum fuel limit on the
fuel demand. It is used to set a maximum position of the actuator. This is
generally used to prevent engine overloading or other situations where the
maximum fuel delivered to the engine should be limited. The function can be
disabled by adjusting the Max Fuel Limit to 100 percent.
90 Woodward
Start Limit Function

The Start Limit Function provides a limit to the fuel demand which prevents
overfuel conditions during starting of the engine (see Figure 5-3). During startup,
when engine speed reaches five percent of rated speed, the Start Limit Function
is momentarily triggered to immediately limit the fuel demand to a software-
adjustable start fuel limit. The start ramp begins increasing the fuel demand at a
software-adjustable rate shortly after the start fuel limit is triggered. The rate can
be set at zero to eliminate the start ramp function. When engine speed reaches
95% of the speed reference, and the PID is in control of the fuel demand for 1
second, the Start Limit Function will immediately increase to a maximum value of
100 percent. When engine speed decreases below five percent of rated speed
from a shutdown, the Start Fuel Limit Function is re-armed for trigger during the
next start. The start fuel limit function also works on reverse-acting systems. The
function can be disabled by adjusting the Start Fuel Limit to a value of 100.
Figure 5-3. Start Limit Function
Fuel Limiting Function

The Fuel Limiting function prevents an overfuel condition by limiting fuel demand.
The External Fuel Limiting Function provides one software adjustable five-
breakpoint curve based on an external transmitter signal provided at Signal Input
#4. The display value of the input signal can be scaled according to the
engineering units desired. The output units for fuel demand limiting is in percent.
The limiting value is linear from set point to set point as shown in Figure 5-4. The
function is enabled when the engine speed first reaches 95 percent of the speed
reference. It remains enabled until the engine is shut down. This function is
disabled if the input signal is failed. This function can also be enabled or disabled
by software at the EXT FUEL Limit Curve menu.
Woodward 91
Figure 5-4. Fuel Limit Breakpoints
Actuator Function
The Actuator Function changes the fuel demand into a signal which can be used
by Analog Output #3. This allows for either a direct-acting actuator or a reverse-
acting actuator. A direct-acting fuel system is one where the signal to the
actuator increases as the fuel demand increases. A reverse-acting fuel system is
one where the signal to the actuator decreases as the fuel demand increases. In
either system, the fuel to the engine increases as the fuel demand increases. A
reverse-acting system allows for using actuators with mechanical governors
which can control the engine if the electronic governor fails. Standard actuators
use effective signals of 20 to 160 mA to travel from minimum position to
maximum position (or 160 to 20 mA to travel from minimum position to maximum
position on reverse-acting systems). The fuel demand is scaled from 0 to 100
percent for an output of 0 to 200 mA (or 200 to 0 mA if Reverse Acting is
selected). This results in a fuel demand with a value of ten percent when the
actuator is effectively at minimum (for either direct-acting or reverse-acting
systems) and a fuel demand of 80 percent when the actuator is effectively at
maximum (for either direct-acting or reverse-acting systems).
Speed Failures
A speed failure is detected any time the input frequency from the speed sensor is
less than five percent of rated speed. The failure of either or both speed sensors
can be used to activate an Alarm and/or a Shutdown.
The torsional filter will be deactivated but the engine will continue to run if one
speed sensor fails. If both speed sensors fail, the control action is determined by
the state of the Speed Fail Ovrd discrete input. The control will bring the fuel
demand to zero if the override is FALSE. The control will allow the fuel demand
to maximum if the override is TRUE. A true state is normally used for reverse-
acting systems.
92 Woodward
Alarm Reset
The Alarm Reset command can be issued from several different points. The
command is a momentary true which resets any parameters which were latched
in a failed state and are now valid when the reset occurs. The command can be
issued from the Shutdown menu, Alarm menu, or the Display Analog I/O menu
using Watch Window, the STD PC interface, or with the Hand Held programmer.
Toggling the Alarm Reset discrete input TRUE, then FALSE, issues the Alarm
Reset command. An Alarm Reset is also issued when power is applied to the
723PLUS. And finally, the control issues an Alarm Reset during startup (when
configured).
Speed Reference and Ramps

The 723PLUS control provides local control with discrete inputs for raising and
lowering speed. For remote speed setting, the control provides a 4 to 20 mA or 1
to 5 Vdc Remote Reference input and a Modbus analog write (AW) address
4:0005. Input functions are enabled as follows:
Local Speed Reference Raise/Lower discrete inputs are enabled when
remote speed setting is not enabled.
Remote Speed Reference setting is enabled when the Raise Speed and
Lower Speed contacts are both closed, the Rated contact is closed, and
Use Remote Commands is FALSE.
Modbus Speed Reference setting is enabled when the Raise Speed and
Lower Speed contacts are both closed, the Rated contact is closed, and
Use Remote Commands is TRUE.
Speed Reference and Ramp Functions

This section describes the operation of the speed reference and ramp functions
and their relation to each other. Read this section carefully to be sure your
sequencing provides the proper operating modes.
The control provides start, idle, lower limit, raise limit, and rated set points, accel
and decel times, and raise and lower rates, for local operation. Accel time
determines the time required for the engine to ramp from start to idle speed and
from idle to rated speed. Decel time determines the time required for the engine
to ramp from rated speed to idle speed. Raise and lower rates determine how
fast speed is increased or decreased by the raise and lower command inputs and
the remote reference input.
The start speed set point provides a speed reference above cranking speed but
below the speed achieved with the start fuel limit setting (light-off speed).
Achieving start speed begins a ramp to the selected speed reference (usually
idle). This function is configurable. The default has this function disabled. It can
be enabled for applications which need this function (e.g., spark gas recip
engines).
When configured TRUE, the Start reference is selected, at a very fast rate, by
control power-up, engine not running, or engine cranking. The Start reference is
given first priority over all other references and is the speed reference until the
engine starts. The ramp to the reference selected by the Idle/Rated contact input
begins after the engine speed exceeds the start speed setting. This may not be
the desired mode of operation, so be sure to understand the implications of
operating the control in this manner.
Woodward 93
Modbus/LON Commands to the DSLC Control

Once the 723PLUS has been bound to the DSLC control (see Chapter 1,
723PLUS Digital Speed Control Accessories), DSLC inputs may be sent via
Modbus to the 723PLUS and then to the DSLC control through the LON.

The idle speed set point is provided for engine warm-up or cool-down cycles. Idle
speed may be set equal to or less than the rated speed set point. Idle is
independent of the lower limit set point and may be set at a lower speed. Idle
speed cannot be changed except through internal software adjustment of the idle
speed set point. The idle speed setpoint is selected when the Rated contact is
open, if the start reference is removed either by configuration or engine speed
above start speed.
94 Woodward
Closing the Rated contact ramps the speed set point from idle to rated, if the start
reference is removed.
Closing either the Raise or Lower contacts while ramping from idle to rated
results in immediate cancellation of the idle to rated ramp. After acceleration to
rated speed is completed, the raise and lower commands increase and decrease
engine speed based on the raise and lower rate settings. The raise and lower
commands will not increase the speed reference above the raise limit or below
the lower limit.
If remote operation is selected after the engine reaches rated speed, the control
will ramp speed to the reference value set by the Remote Reference milliamp
input or the Modbus AW value, as configured, at the raise or lower rate settings.
The Remote Reference operates from 4 to 20 mA (1 to 5 Vdc). The rpm values of
the 4 mA and 20 mA remote reference set points must be set between the raise
and lower limit settings. The 4 mA Remote Reference set point may be set to a
lower or higher speed than the 20 mA set point, providing for either direct or
reverse-acting remote speed setting.
If the Remote Reference input or the Modbus AW value is present and selected
when the Idle/Rated contact is closed or during the idle to rated ramp, the speed
reference will ramp to the rpm value set by the Remote Reference milliamp input
or the Modbus AW value at the raise or lower rate settings. This may not be the
desired mode of operation, so be sure to understand the implications of operating
the control in this manner.
Below 2 mA (0.5 Vdc) or above 21 mA (5.25 Vdc), the Remote Reference input is
considered failed or out of range. Between 4 and 20 mA (1 and 5 Vdc), the
control determines the required speed reference based on a straight line
between the 4 mA and 20 mA Remote Reference set points (see Figure 5-5). If a
difference is detected between the present speed reference and the remote
reference rpm value, the present speed reference is ramped up or down at the
raise or lower rate until the present speed reference matches the remote speed
reference rpm value. The remote reference will not increase/decrease the speed
reference above the raise limit or below the lower limit.
Figure 5-5. Remote Speed Reference
Woodward 95
When operating in remote mode, if the remote input goes below 2 mA (0.5 Vdc)
or above 21 mA (5.25 Vdc) or a Modbus communication link error occurs, the
speed reference remains at the present value if the lock-in-last option is TRUE.
Otherwise the reference follows the failed or out-of-range remote input value, or
the Modbus default AW value, at the raise or lower rate, until a raise or lower limit
is reached.
If the Idle/Rated contact is changed to idle after operating at rated, the control will
immediately ramp engine speed to idle based on the decel time set point.
Power-Up Diagnostics
The power-up diagnostics feature is provided to verify the proper operation of the
microprocessor and memory components. The diagnostics take about 20
seconds after the control is powered on. A failure of the test will turn off all
outputs from the control. If diagnostic testing is successful, the green CPU OK
indicator on the control cover will light.

Troubleshooting
General
The following troubleshooting guide is an aid in isolating trouble to the control
box, actuator, control wiring, or elsewhere. Troubleshooting beyond this level is
recommended ONLY when a complete facility for control testing is available.
The control can be damaged with the wrong voltage. When replacing
a control, check the power supply, battery, etc., for the correct
voltage.
Troubleshooting Procedure
This chapter is a general guide for isolating system problems. Before using this
procedure, make sure that the system wiring, soldering connections, switch and
relay contacts, and input and output connections are correct and in good working
order. Make the checks in the order indicated. Each system check assumes that
the prior checks have been properly done.
The engine must be shut down for all system checks.
Control Test and Calibration

General
Do the following checks on the 723PLUS control. Then verify the functioning of
set points and adjustments.
1. Connect the Hand Held Programmer, the 723PLUS DSLC Control Standard
PC Interface, or Watch Window to the control in accordance with the
instructions in Chapter 3. Verify that correct voltage and polarity are applied
to the control. Verify that the programmer does its power-up tests (if
applicable). Be sure the jumper between terminals 9 and 10 is removed to
use the Hand Held Programmer (do note remove the jumper to use Watch
Window or the 723PLUS DSLC Control Standard PC Interface). Failure to
do the power up test indicates that either the control or the Hand Held
Programmer has failed. If so, try this step with another Hand Held
Programmer. If the test still fails, replace the 723PLUS control. If the test
passes with the second Hand Held Programmer, replace the Hand Held
Programmer.
Woodward 97
2. Verify the controller ID on the 723PLUS DSLC Control Standard PC
Interface by clicking help then about. Verify the controller ID on the Hand
Held Programmer by pressing the ID key. Verify the controller ID in Watch
Window by right-clicking the explorer tab, then clicking properties. The
Application ID message 5413-916 (or 5414-151 for low speed controls)
with the revision level (new, A, etc) should appear. Failure indicates either
the control or Hand Held Programmer (if applicable) has failed. If so, try this
step with another Hand Held Programmer. If the test still fails, replace the
723PLUS control. If the test passes with the second Hand Held
Programmer, replace the first Hand Held Programmer.
3. Select the 1st Dynamics Menu. Verify that all set points are as recorded
during installation. Repeat for the other menus. If any differences are found,
change the set point(s) to the correct value. Press the SAVE key on the
Hand Held Programmer or save settings using the 723PLUS DSLC Control
Standard PC Interface or Watch Window (refer to help if you need help).
The Hand Held Programmer message Saving Changes should be
displayed. Remove power from the control for at least 10 seconds. Verify
correct values were retained during power down. Failure indicates the
control has failed and should be replaced.
Discrete Inputs
Do the following test to verify the function of the discrete inputs. Do NOT do
these tests with the engine running.
1. Repeat this step for all discrete inputs. Close the appropriate input. The
status in DISPLAY DIGITAL I/O should be TRUE. If the value does not
change from FALSE to TRUE when the contact is closed, verify the LED is
illuminated at the respective control terminal. If the LED is illuminated and
correct voltage is verified, the control has failed and should be replaced. If
the LED is NOT illuminated and correct voltage is verified at the terminal
(common to terminal 37), the control has failed and should be replaced.
Load Pulse Input

20mA value (usually in rpm) set previously in the SET ANALOG INPUTS
menu.
4. Set the source for 1.0 Vdc (4.0 mA). The REMOTE SPEED REF value
should be equal to the REM SPEED @ 4mA value set previously in the SET
ANALOG INPUTS menu. If the meter indicates proper voltages (or currents)
are present on Signal Input #3, but readings on the Hand Held Programmer,
the DSLC Control Standard PC Interface or Watch Window are incorrect,
the 723PLUS control is defective and should be replaced.
External Limiter Xdcr Input

The following tests calibrate and verify the function of the External Fuel Limiter
Xdcr input (Signal Input #4).
1. Connect a 4 to 20 mA or 1 to 5 Vdc source to terminals 51(+) and 52(). If a

menu.
4. Set the source for 1.0 Vdc (4.0 mA). The EXT FUEL LIMIT IN input value
should be equal to the EXT FUEL LMT @ 4mA value set previously in the
SET ANALOG INPUTS menu. If the meter indicates proper voltages (or
currents) are present on Signal Input #4, but readings on the Hand Held
Programmer, the DSLC Control Standard PC Interface or Watch Window
are incorrect, the 723PLUS control is defective and should be replaced.
Actuator Output
The following tests verify the actuator output of the control.
1. Connect a frequency signal generator to Speed Sensor Input #1 (terminals

11/12). Set the output level above 1.0 Vrms, and the frequency to a value
greater than 5% of rated frequency and less than 50% of rated frequency.
2. Close the Run contact (terminal 36). Connect a milliamp meter across
terminals 19(+) and 20() if no actuator is connected. Connect the milliamp
meter in series with the actuator if one is connected to the control.
(Alternately, a dc voltmeter may be connected across the output when an
actuator is connected. The correct output currents must be computed using
the voltage measured and the input resistance of the actuator.)
3. Select the CFIG Option Menu on the Hand Held Programmer, the DSLC
Control Standard PC Interface, or Watch Window. Set the Use Rev Actuator
to Forward Acting (FALSE).
4. Select the Fuel Limiters Menu. Set Start Fuel Limit to 100%. Set Max Fuel

5. Set the Max Fuel Limit to 100%. The output current should be 210 10 mA.
If with all connections verified, the output of the control fails to perform as
above, replace the control.
6. Return to the CFIG Option Menu on the Hand Held Programmer, the DSLC
Control Standard PC Interface or Watch Window. Set the Use Rev Actuator
to the value as recorded during installation.
7. Return to the Fuel Limiters Menu. Set the Start Fuel Limit and the Max Fuel
Limit to the values as recorded during installation.
Speed Inputs
The following tests verify the operation of the speed inputs.
1. Connect a frequency signal generator to Speed Sensor Input #1 (terminal

11/12). Set the output level above 1.0 Vrms. Record the DSPD #1 TEETH
set point from the CFIG SPEED CONTROL Menu. Temporarily set to 60
(this causes the rpm values and Hertz values to be the same, to make doing
the test easier).
100 Woodward
2. Set the signal generator to 400 Hz. Read Engine Speed value of 400 rpm on
Display Menu. Increase the signal generator frequency to 2000 Hz. The
value read should follow the signal generator frequency.
3. Return DSPD #1 TEETH on the CFIG Speed Control Menu to the previously
recorded values for your engine.
4. Repeat steps 13 for Speed Sensor Input #2 (terminal 13/14).
Conclusion of Test and Calibration Procedures

This completes the test and calibration chapter. Save the set points by pressing
the SAVE key on the Hand Held Programmer, or save settings using the DSLC
Control Standard PC Interface or Watch Window (refer to help if you need
help). Power down the control for about 10 seconds. Restore power and verify
that all set points are as recorded.

Disconnect the Hand Held Programmer from the control (if applicable). The
DSLC Control Standard PC Interface or Watch Window may remain connected
or removed from the control as desired. Close the cover over J1 and re-tighten
the retaining screw if the connection is removed..
Be prepared to make an emergency shutdown when starting the

engine, turbine, or other type of prime mover, to protect against
runaway or overspeed with possible personal injury, loss of life, or
property damage.

Serial Communication Port Wiring
The Communication Ports J2 and J3 can be configured for RS-232, RS-422 or

RS-485 serial communications. The default settings are for RS-232.
The RS-232 connections are shown in Figure A-1. The maximum distance from
the Master Modbus Device to the 723PLUS control is 15 m (50 ft).
Figure A-1. 723PLUS RS-232 Connections
Figure A-2. 723PLUS RS-422 Connections with Optional Termination at Receiver
Woodward 107
Figure A-3. 723PLUS RS-485 Connections with Optional Termination
RS-422 and RS-485 can use a multi-drop set-up where more than one device is
connected to a master device. A termination should be located at the receiver
when one or more transmitters are connected to a single receiver. When a single
transmitter is connected to one or more receivers, termination should be at the
receiver farthest from the transmitter. Figure A-4 is an example.
Figure A-4. RS-422 Terminator Locations
Termination is accomplished using a three-resistor voltage divider between a

positive voltage and ground. The impedance of the resistor network should be
equal to the characteristic impedance of the cable. This is usually about 100 to
120 . The purpose is to maintain a voltage level between the two differential
lines so that the receiver will be in a stable condition. The differential voltage can
range between 0.2 and 6 V. The maximum voltage between either receiver input
and circuit ground must be less than 10 V. There is one termination resistor
network for each port located on the 723PLUS board. Connection to this resistor
network is made through the 9-pin connectors on pins 6 and 9.
108 Woodward
Grounding and Shielding

The RS-422 specifications state that a ground wire is needed if there is no other
ground path between units. The preferred method to do this is to include a
separate wire in the cable that connects the circuit grounds together. Connect the
shield to earth ground at one point only. The alternate way is to connect all circuit
grounds to the shield, and then connect the shield to earth ground at one point
only. If the latter method is used, and there are non-isolated nodes on the party
line, connect the shield to ground at a non-isolated node, not an isolated node.
Figures A-5 and A-6 illustrate these cabling approaches.
Non-isolated nodes may not have a signal ground available. If signal

ground is not available, use the alternate wiring scheme in Figure A-5
with the signal ground connection removed on those nodes only.
Figure A-5. Preferred Multipoint Wiring Using Shielded Twisted-pair Cable with a
Separate Signal Ground Wire
The SG (signal ground) connection is not required if signal ground is

unavailable.

a Separate Signal Ground Wire

Appendix B.
LinkNet I/O Network
Introduction
The LinkNet option provides distributed I/O capabilities for the 723PLUS control
system through LON #1. The LinkNet I/O modules, while slower and less
powerful than on-board I/O, are well suited for functions which are not time-
critical, such as sequencing and monitoring.
Network Architecture
An I/O network consists of the 723PLUS LON #1 channel, which provides
independent network trunks of up to 9 I/O modules. The LinkNet I/O modules, or
nodes, on each trunk are attached to the 723PLUS via a single twisted-pair wire
(see end of this Appendix for correct wiring geometry).
Each LinkNet I/O module has two rotary switches that are used to set its network
address. On installation, these switches must be dialed so that the I/O modules
network address of 118 matches the network address defined for this I/O
module in the application program. The I/O modules may be placed in any order
on the network, and gaps are allowed in the address sequence.
Hardware
Each network consists of one LinkNet channel of a 723PLUS and many I/O
modules. The I/O modules include thermocouple inputs, RTD inputs, 420 mA
inputs, and discrete inputs as well as 4-20 mA and relay outputs. All of the
analog modules consist of six channels per module. The Relay Output module
contains eight channels, and the Discrete Input module has 16 channels.
Each I/O module is housed in a plastic, field-termination-module-type package

for DIN rail mounting. The LinkNet I/O modules can be mounted in the control
cabinet or in any convenient location in the vicinity of the engine that meets the
temperature and vibration specifications.

LinkNet I/O Module Descriptions

The FAULT LED denotes the status of the module processor, and will be off
during normal operation. If the FAULT LED is on or is blinking, and cycling power
to the module does not change it, then the I/O module should be replaced.
The module address circuit reads the selected module address from the rotary
switches on each node. This address should correspond to the address of the I/O
module hardware in the application program. If these rotary switches are set
incorrectly, the node will not communicate with the 723PLUS, and a no
message fault will be annunciated through the application program. If two nodes
are set to the same address, an address fault will be annunciated through the
application program, and both nodes will not function. If the node address
switches are changed, power to the module must be cycled before it will
read the new module address and change its communication accordingly.
A type fault is annunciated through the application program when the wrong
module type is installed at a given address. For example, installing a
thermocouple module in place of an RTD module generates a type fault. If an
output node receives data intended for a different module type, it will not update
its outputs, and will set them to the off state when its watchdog timer times out.
No-message faults, address faults, and type faults can be latching or non-
latching (selectable within the 723PLUS control). When these faults occur for an
input module, the application program can give default values for each channel.
Output modules contain readback circuits to verify proper operation of each

output channel. Analog input modules monitor a reference voltage to verify
proper operation of the A/D converter. Appropriate faults are annunciated
through the application program.
The LinkNet system accommodates hot-replacement of faulty nodes. When

replacing a node, the network cable connections must remain intact. A faulty
node can be removed from the network by pulling both terminal blocks out of
their headers, and removing the node from the DIN rail. The address switches of
the replacement node should be set to match those of the faulty node. The
replacement node can then be mounted on the DIN rail, and the terminal blocks
pushed into the headers. It may be necessary to reset the node through the
application program to reinitiate communications with the 723PLUS and to clear
the no message fault.

Discrete Input Module

Figure B-3 is a block diagram and Figure B-4 is a wiring diagram of the Discrete
Input module. The module receives information from field switches and relays.
Power is provided for these contacts, on four terminal blocks, TB-5 through TB-8.
The input power on TB-2 may also be used, but does not have the benefit of an
internal fuse and some filtering, therefore external fusing should be provided. The
state of each discrete input is passed through an optoisolator and an LED to the
shift register. In this manner, the LEDs will light when a contact is closed. The
module processor receives this information and transmits it through the
transceiver to the 723PLUS.

420 mA Input Module

Figure B-5 is a block diagram and Figure B-6 is a wiring diagram of the 420 mA
Input module. The module receives information from 420 mA sources, such as
transducers. Power is provided for these transducers on one version of the
module, but all module inputs must use the power provided. No inputs may use a
separate power source, as all of the negatives are tied together and to 24 V
common. The advantage of this module version is that it simplifies wiring to
devices such as transducers that require external power. Each input is converted
to a 05 V signal, and then multiplexed to a voltage-to-frequency converter. The
module processor reads the period of this signal and converts it to a count, which
it transmits through the transceiver to the 723PLUS.

Thermocouple Input Module

Figure B-7 is a block diagram and Figure B-8 is a wiring diagram of the
Thermocouple Input module. The module receives information from
thermocouples, which can be either J or K type. The type is selected in the
application program. It also has an AD592 ambient temperature sensor mounted
on the module for cold junction temperature sensing. The cold junction
compensation is performed in software. There is a fail high and a fail low version
of the module, selected by jumpers on the board, which allow the input channels
to be pulled high or low on an open input. Each input is multiplexed to a voltage-
to-frequency converter. The module processor reads the period of this signal and
converts it to a count, which it transmits through the transceiver to the 723PLUS.

RTD Input Module

Figure B-9 is a block diagram and Figure B-10 is a wiring diagram of the RTD
Input module. A 1 or 2 mA source is provided for each input. The module
receives voltages from six 100 or 200 , 3-wire RTDs. Each voltage is
compensated for line resistance, and then is multiplexed to a voltage-to-
frequency converter. The module processor reads the period of this signal and
converts it to a count, which it transmits through the transceiver to the 723PLUS.

Relay Output Module

Figure B-11 is a block diagram and Figure B-12 is a wiring diagram of the Relay
Output module. The module outputs information through eight 5 A form C relays.
The relay output module processor receives information through the transceiver,
from the 723PLUS. The node then updates the status of the shift register which
updates the relays and a status LED. The second set of relay contacts is input
back into the module processor through a shift register, for readback status. The
readbacks are compared with the desired outputs, and a status annunciated for
each relay in the application program. The relay output module has a watchdog
that monitors the communications from the module processor to the shift register,
and disables the relay drivers upon a loss of communications of more than 1.2
seconds. The node will not function after a watchdog timeout, until its power is
cycled or until the 723PLUS is reset.

420 mA Output Module

Figure B-13 is a block diagram and Figure B-14 is a wiring diagram of the 420
mA Output module. The 420 mA output module processor receives information
through the transceiver, from the 723PLUS. The 420 mA output module then
updates the status of the D/A converter which outputs voltages to the current
drivers. The output current is monitored by the module processor through an A/D
converter. The readback value and status are available through the application
program. The 420 mA output module has a watchdog that monitors the
communications from the module processor to the D/A converter, and disables
the current drivers upon a loss of communications of more than 1.2 seconds. The
module will not function after a watchdog timeout until its power is cycled or the
723PLUS is reset.

Troubleshooting Flowchart
If a problem occurs with the LinkNet network, use Figure B-15 (Troubleshooting
Flowchart) as a guide to find and repair the problem.
Follow the flowchart down from the title block to the next block. This block may
be a rectangular suggestion block, or a diamond shaped decision block. When a
suggestion block is entered, do the check suggested. A suggestion block may
refer you to the control wiring diagram, the application program, or the module
field wiring.
If this check does no find the problem, continue down the flowchart.
When a decision block is entered, the question asked inside it must be

answered. This answer then determines the proper exit from that block. The exit
taken will lead you to another point on the flowchart.
By following the flowchart in this manner, you should be able to determine a

course of action for most problems.
Wiring and Proper Cable

All LinkNet I/O modules communicate with the 723PLUS through shielded
twisted pair wiring. The specifications for the LinkNet system require that listed
level V type cable be used. The network may be wired directly from I/O module to
I/O module, as shown in Figure B-16, or the I/O modules may be connected to
the network via stubs as in Figure B-17. A termination network must be installed
at the last LinkNet I/O module on the network. There is no polarity associated
with the network wiring. For optimum EMC performance, the network cable shield
should be landed at each I/O module, and the exposed wire length limited to 25
mm (1 inch). At the 723PLUS, the outer insulation should be stripped and the
bare shield landed to the chassis.
All field wiring should be shielded. The shield should be landed in the terminal
block provided, and the exposed wiring, after the shield is separated, should be
limited to one inch.
The LinkNet modules should always be mounted in a cabinet, or be

otherwise operator inaccessible. The modules should be accessed
only for maintenance purposes, in which case, the ESD procedures
on page iv should be followed.
