721 Digital Speed Control

for Power Generation Applications
The Woodward Hand Held Programmer makes all adjustments quickly and easily through the controls ten convenient menus (a standard ASCII character computer terminal with an RS-422 serial port may also be used). The control saves all set points in permanent memory, which does not require batteries or other power sources to retain data. The Handheld Programmer prevents tampering with set points, yet allows entries to be changed at any time.

APPLICATIONS
The 721 Digital Speed Control is a powerful, configurable load sharing and speed control with a torsional filter. The 721 control governs gas or diesel reciprocating engines driving generators through flexible couplings. Using inputs from both the engine and generator sides of the coupling, the 721 control filters out torsionals in the speed signals. As a result, transient performance is improved without sacrificing steady-state stability. The 721 Digital Control can share load between multiple engines driving a common mechanical or electrical load. It offers automatic bumpless transfer of load between engines and adjustable load and unload ramp rates. The control also provides a limiter to prevent engine overfueling or flooding during start-up.

Menu 1 (Dynamics Setpoints) adjusts the control to match the stability and transient performance of the engine. Menu 2 (Auxiliary Dynamics) same as Menu 1; sets a second set of (auxiliary) dynamics. Menu 3 (Speed Setting) sets adjustments related to speed control (speed limits, ramp times and rates, remote speed reference, tachometer, droop). Menu 4 (Torsional Filter) adjusts the control to recognize flexible coupling torsionals. Menu 5 (KW Load Setting) sets adjustments related to load control (load input range, load ramp times and rates, remote KW reference, load droop). Menu 6 (Fuel Limiters) sets fuel limit adjustments that limit and define actuator output current (idle fuel limit, maximum fuel limit, etc.). Menu 7 (Display 1) Displays current values for engine speed, speed reference, generator load, load reference, actuator output, torsional level, speed control mode, load control mode. Menu 8 (Configuration) Sets control configuration (rated speed, gear teeth, actuator sense, dynamics map, alarms). Menu 9 (Calibration) Sets control calibration (key).

CONTROL DYNAMICS
The 721 Digital Control uses a 16-bit microprocessor, providing control dynamics that give smooth steady-state operation and fast response to speed and load changes. The 721 Digital Control dynamics are varied automatically as functions of both speed and load to provide better performance over the operating range of the engine. Two separate sets of dynamic adjustments are externally selectable, for circumstances where operating conditions change.
