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.

Description of Operation
Introduction
This chapter provides an overview of the features and operation of the 723PLUS
Load Sharing Control/Cat ADEM.
The control defines 4 operation modes:

• Stopped / Bypassed
• Speed-Reference Forward Mode
• Synchronization Mode
• Load Sharing Mode
Stopped / Bypassed
When the Engine A/B Stop command is used, closing of the respective contact
forces the control to output minimum (0%, 4 mA) for Engine A/B Speed-
Reference Output.
The Engine A/B Stop command will ignore any biases from either
synchronization or load sharing control.
Speed-Reference Forward Mode

When both engine clutches are open, the control defaults to output each engine’s
speed-reference input directly to each engine’s speed-reference output.
A CONFIGURE option is available to have just one common speed-reference for

both engines. Engine B Speed-Reference will then follow the Engine A Speed-
Reference input signal.
Engine A/B Raise and Lower commands are ignored. Engine A/B Load signals
are ignored.
Synchronization Mode
When just one engine is clutched in, that is connected to the gearbox, the
respective Raise and Lower contacts can be used to synchronize the speed of
the other engine which is not clutched in.
The synchronization bias will be added to the nominal speed reference of the
clutched out engine. This synchronization bias is volatile; once both engines are
either clutched in or clutched out, the bias will be reset to 0.
When both speed signals from engine A and B are within a certain adjustable
window, a Synchronize OK Check relay can be energized, which can be used as
a clutch-in permissive.
Woodward 5
Load Sharing Mode

When both engines are clutched in, that is, mechanically coupled to the gearbox,
the control will try to load share between the two engines.
A PID controller generates speed biases for engine A and engine B such that
each engine will load-share according the required ratio which is defined
normally as 50% of the total load.
Unequal load sharing is possible by adjusting the LOAD RATIO setting in the
SERVICE menu.
In steady state, the PID will have an output of 50%, equaling 0 rpm bias for each
engine. An adjustable PID BIAS RANGE defines the absolute bias when the
Load Sharing PID is at either 0% or 100%.
The Load Sharing bias for engine A and B are complementary; when engine A
gets a positive bias, engine B gets the same bias negatively.
Changing the PID BIAS RANGE might require readjustment of the

dynamic settings of the Load Sharing PID.
When the second engine clutches in, the control will soft-load this second engine
with an adjustable rate to the required load (normally 50% of both engines total
load). When the soft-loading has finished, normal load sharing is operational.
When an unload contact is received for either engine, the load set point for that
engine is set to its UNLOAD SETPOINT. The control will unload the engine with
an adjustable rate; the other engine will take the remaining load.
When the unload command is removed, soft-loading will be initiated. When the
soft-loading has finished, normal load-sharing is operational again.
Load sharing mode will not be possible and be disabled in the following cases:
• Engine A or B Speed-Reference Input fault
• Engine A or B Load Input fault
• Engine A or B Stop command
• Engine A or B Clutch is open

A equ B always ? TRUE/FALSE FALSE
Speed Offset [rpm] (0.0, 2500.0) 0.0
Sync Range [+/-rpm]

This defines the possible bias range for synchronizing mode.
Maximum speed-reference (Raising) will be Nominal + Sync Range.
Minimum speed-reference (Lowering) will be Nominal - Sync Range.
Sync Rate [rpm/s]

This defines the rate of change for the bias from synchronizing mode.
This rate is applicable for both Raise and Lower contacts.
16 Woodward
PID BiasRange [rpm]
This defines the possible bias range for load sharing mode.
PID at 50%, both engine speed-references will be Nominal.
PID at 0%, engine A speed-reference will be Nominal – PID BiasRange
PID at 100%, engine A speed-reference will be Nominal + PID BiasRange
PID at 0%, engine B speed-reference will be Nominal + PID BiasRange
PID at 100%, engine B speed-reference will be Nominal - PID BiasRange
All CL out, no R/L

When TRUE, the Raise and Lower contacts are ignored when both engine
clutches are open.
A equ B window [rpm]

This defines the window [rpm] for speed-reference output A and B in which they
are considered to be equal. The "Speed-Reference Out A equal to B" status can
be output on any of the relays or LEDs.
A equ B Pos-Del [s]

This defines the delay time for speed-reference output A and B to stay within the
window, before really activating the status "Speed-Reference Out A equal to B"
A equ B Neg-Del [s]

This defines the sustain time for the "Speed-Reference Out A equal to B" status.
When the difference between speed-reference output A and B exceeds the
window, and if the status "Speed-Reference Out A equal to B" is active, it will
remain active for this time.
A equ B always ?
When set to TRUE, the "Speed-A equal to B" status is checked continuously.
When set to FALSE, the "Speed-A equal to B" status can only be activated when
in Synchronization mode.
Speed Offset [rpm]

This parameter can be used to centre the Load Sharing bias [rpm] in steady state
to 0 rpm; the offset is added to Speed Reference Output A, and subtracted from
Speed Reference Output B.
This should only be used to compensate for small differences between Speed
Reference Output demand [rpm] and the actual speed. If the difference is too big,
it is strongly advised to recalibrate the analog input/output signals.

PID P-Gain
This defines proportional gain for the load sharing PID controller.
PID I-Gain
This defines integral gain for the load sharing PID controller.
PID S_D_R
This defines the Speed Derivative Ratio for the load sharing PID controller.
When S_D_R = 1 to 100, D = 1 / ( S_D_R x I ),

(The controller is Feedback Dominant).
When S_D_R = 0.01 to 1, D = S_D_R / 1
(The controller is Input Dominant).
Please refer to application note 83402, PID Control, to learn more

about adjusting the dynamic settings for the load sharing PID.
Load Ratio [%]

This defines the load ratio engine A versus engine B for load sharing.
The default value of 50% results in equal load sharing for both engines.
A Load Ratio of 75% splits the total load into 75% for engine A and 25% for
engine B.
Active Delay [s]

After clutching in the second engine, this is the adjustable time delay before load
sharing mode is really activated. This delay allows for some settling on the
engine part.
UnLd Setp A [%]

This is the unload set point for engine A when the Unload contact is closed.
UnLd Rate A [%/s]

This defines the unloading rate of change for engine A load set point when the
Unload contact is closed.
SoftLd Rate A [%/s]

This defines the soft loading rate of change for engine A load set point when load
sharing has just been activated or the Unload contact is opened again.
UnLd Setp B [%]

This is the unload set point for engine B when the Unload contact is closed.
UnLd Rate B [%/s]

This defines the unloading rate of change for engine B load set point when the
Unload contact is closed.
SoftLd Rate B [%/s]

This defines the soft loading rate of change for engine B load set point when load
sharing has just been activated or the Unload contact is opened again.

Service Options
Product Service Options

If you are experiencing problems with the installation, or unsatisfactory
performance of a Woodward product, the following options are available:
• Consult the troubleshooting guide in the manual.
• Contact the manufacturer or packager of your system.
• Contact the Woodward Full Service Distributor serving your area.
• Contact Woodward technical assistance (see “How to Contact Woodward”
later in this chapter) and discuss your problem. In many cases, your problem
can be resolved over the phone. If not, you can select which course of action
to pursue based on the available services listed in this chapter.
OEM and Packager Support: Many Woodward controls and control devices are
installed into the equipment system and programmed by an Original Equipment
Manufacturer (OEM) or Equipment Packager at their factory. In some cases, the
programming is password-protected by the OEM or packager, and they are the best
source for product service and support. Warranty service for Woodward products
shipped with an equipment system should also be handled through the OEM or
Packager. Please review your equipment system documentation for details.
Woodward Business Partner Support: Woodward works with and supports a

global network of independent business partners whose mission is to serve the
users of Woodward controls, as described here:
• A Full Service Distributor has the primary responsibility for sales, service,
system integration solutions, technical desk support, and aftermarket
marketing of standard Woodward products within a specific geographic area
and market segment.
• An Authorized Independent Service Facility (AISF) provides authorized
service that includes repairs, repair parts, and warranty service on Woodward's
behalf. Service (not new unit sales) is an AISF's primary mission.
• A Recognized Engine Retrofitter (RER) is an independent company that
does retrofits and upgrades on reciprocating gas engines and dual-fuel
conversions, and can provide the full line of Woodward systems and
components for the retrofits and overhauls, emission compliance upgrades,
long term service contracts, emergency repairs, etc.
• A Recognized Turbine Retrofitter (RTR) is an independent company that
does both steam and gas turbine control retrofits and upgrades globally, and

Woodward 33
Woodward Factory Servicing Options

The following factory options for servicing Woodward products are available
through your local Full-Service Distributor or the OEM or Packager of the
equipment system, based on the standard Woodward Product and Service
Warranty (5-01-1205) that is in effect at the time the product is originally shipped
from Woodward or a service is performed:
• Replacement/Exchange (24-hour service)
• Flat Rate Repair
• Flat Rate Remanufacture
Replacement/Exchange: Replacement/Exchange is a premium program

designed for the user who is in need of immediate service. It allows you to
request and receive a like-new replacement unit in minimum time (usually within
24 hours of the request), providing a suitable unit is available at the time of the
request, thereby minimizing costly downtime. This is a flat-rate program and
includes the full standard Woodward product warranty (Woodward Product and
Service Warranty 5-01-1205).
This option allows you to call your Full-Service Distributor in the event of an
unexpected outage, or in advance of a scheduled outage, to request a
replacement control unit. If the unit is available at the time of the call, it can
usually be shipped out within 24 hours. You replace your field control unit with
the like-new replacement and return the field unit to the Full-Service Distributor.
Charges for the Replacement/Exchange service are based on a flat rate plus
shipping expenses. You are invoiced the flat rate replacement/exchange charge
plus a core charge at the time the replacement unit is shipped. If the core (field
unit) is returned within 60 days, a credit for the core charge will be issued.
Flat Rate Repair: Flat Rate Repair is available for the majority of standard
products in the field. This program offers you repair service for your products with
the advantage of knowing in advance what the cost will be. All repair work carries
the standard Woodward service warranty (Woodward Product and Service
Warranty 5-01-1205) on replaced parts and labor.
Flat Rate Remanufacture: Flat Rate Remanufacture is very similar to the Flat
Rate Repair option with the exception that the unit will be returned to you in “like-
new” condition and carry with it the full standard Woodward product warranty
(Woodward Product and Service Warranty 5-01-1205). This option is applicable
to mechanical products only.
