Electrostatic Discharge Awareness

Electronic controls contain static-sensitive parts. Observe the
following precautions to prevent damage to these parts:
 Discharge body static before handling the control (with power to
Electrostatic the control turned off, contact a grounded surface and maintain
Precautions contact while handling the control).
 Avoid all plastic, vinyl, and Styrofoam (except antistatic
versions) around printed circuit boards.
 Do not touch the components or conductors on a printed circuit
board with your hands or with conductive devices.
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.
Follow these precautions when working with or near the control.

1. 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.
2. 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.

Valve types supporting configuration and calibration include: 3103/3171/EM35MR, 3151 EML100, EVA
EIGVA, Varistroke and LQ25/LQ25T/LQ25BP.
Figure 2-13. Configuration and Calibration Page
2.7. Valve Type Selection

This screen displays the selected valve type information and diagnostics relating to valve type selection.
The DVP is capable of running different valve and actuator types. When invoked, the control will perform
a self-configuration process using data acquired from the valve’s Identity (ID) module. When so equipped,
the ID module is physically attached to the valve and connected to the driver. This indicator group gives
an overview of the real-time status of the Valve Type Selection Process. The progress of the auto-
detection process is displayed as a percent value.
Note: When delivered from the factory, the DVP will perform an auto configuration on initial power
up. After each subsequent power up, follow the steps below.
The DVP requests information about the connected valve from the ID module during its self-configuration
process.
In order to start the self-configuration process, the DVP must be set to Auto-Detection mode through the
Auto Detect Request button. The DVP then configures itself correctly according to the configuration data
acquired from the valve’s ID module. This is the Valve Type Selection Process. Please refer to ‘Initiating
the DVP to Auto-Detection Mode’ in Chapter 3.

2.7.1. Actuator Type Selection Process

This indicator group gives an overview of the real-time status of the Valve Type Selection Process. The
progress of the auto-detection process is displayed as a percent value.
When the Control Model No Running indicator is red, the DVP is not able to run and further investigation
of the active diagnostics is required to determine the cause.
By clicking the blue Configuration & Calibration button, the Configuration & Calibration page will open and
you can verify the default settings and/or adjust the settings to your requirements.
Note: If default settings are present, they will be displayed on the Configuration & Calibration page. If
no default settings are present, nothing will be displayed.
2.7.2. Auto Detection Control

The Auto Detection Request button is used to set the DVP to Auto-Detection mode and start the self-
configuration process. The DVP will then acquire the configuration information from the ID module and
configure itself accordingly. The functionality associated with this button only works if the DVP has
determined that the valve/actuator system connected does not match the DVP’s current configuration.
The ‘Type/Serial Number Error’ status flag shows if the type of equipment and the serial number do not
match. The ‘Type Not Supported’ status flag shows if the type of equipment connected to the DVP is not
supported by the DVP.
In the case of using DVP with a valve that does not have identity
module, the DVP will require a manual valve configuration and
calibration.
Manual Configuration of Valve Calibration

In the case of using valves without Identify Module, valve parameters are required to be manually set and
calibrated. Each of the valves has unique parameters that contain information necessary for valve
operation. It is important that these parameters are properly loaded and calibrated in order to achieve the
maximum valve performance.
Manual Configuration of the valve applies mainly to field retrofits using the 24 Vdc DVP driver. Most
valves used with the +125 Vdc DVP are supplied with an Identity module and will not require manual
valve configuration/calibration.

2.8.3.1. CANopen Input

CANopen is a non-proprietary CAN-based command protocol (CAN = ‘Controller Area Networking’).
These protocol controllers are referred to as “NMT” devices, controlled devices, and DVP units.
CANopen, then, conforms to a traditional Master/Slave hierarchy.
The NMT devices send a variety of message types, including:

 Command Requests—Execute shutdown, change a parameter’s settings;
 SYNCs—Execute the last received command;
 Informational Requests—Request current operational values (e.g. position);
 Metadata Requests—Request DVP device characteristics (e.g. serial#)
Every DVP device must have assigned a set of CANopen “node IDs”, one for the primary CAN port (CAN
Port #1) and another for the secondary CAN port (CAN Port #2). Traditionally, primary ports are assigned
odd values (1, 3, 5, 7...), while secondary ports are set to even values (2, 4, 6, 8...). However, any
numbering assignment methodology is valid.
Figure 2-18. Input Configuration - CANopen input

Woodward 35
Released

Redundancy: In the “Single CANopen with Analog Backup”, the DVP performs in the normal fashion:
Demand position is specified by a single CANopen NMT controller source, and an analog input is optional
as a backup.
The DVP (Digital Valve Positioner) is capable of operating with two separate CANopen NMT controller
sources simultaneously (i.e., one attached to primary CAN Port #1 and the other to secondary CAN Port
#2). This is referred to as the “Dual” redundancy mode. The most common wiring arrangement is to wire
separate CANbus networks. One CANbus can be attached to CAN Port #1 and the other to Port #2. This
provides redundant control paths and redundant controllers.
In addition, there will be different CAN ID (node) numbers for each port. A typical operator assignment
would be an odd number for the primary CAN port (Port #1) and an even value for the secondary CAN
port (Port #2).
Dual redundancy mode operates in one of the following three scenarios:
Scenario 1: CAN Port #1 Operational:

In this default (“start-up”) scenario, the DVP’s demand position is acquired from the Fast Message
Requests of the primary CANbus network (i.e. from the NMT controller attached to CAN Port #1). CAN
messages are still being processed on the secondary CANbus as well but in a “read only” mode (demand
positions and all other specified operating values are ignored).
It is possible for CAN Port #2 (secondary) operations to fail and

remain in this scenario. A “CANopen Digital Communication Alarm”
signal the failure of the “backup” CAN path will, however, for Port #2.
Scenario 2: CAN Port #1 Fails, CAN Port #2 Operational:

If messages are not seen within an operator-specified timeout, the Dual redundancy algorithm in the DVP
switches its attention to the secondary CANbus and then will subsequently accept new demand positions
from this “backup” CANopen network. No operator intervention is required for this command source failover.
Failover to this scenario would be caused by primary NMT controller failure or a primary wiring
infrastructure failure.
If CANopen communications is once again viable later in this

scenario, the DVP will not automatically fall back to Scenario 1. The
operator must clear the “CANopen Digital Communication Alarm” for
Port #1 before re-entering Scenario #1.
Scenario 3: Both CAN Port #1 and #2 Fail

If both CANopen communication paths have been lost, the failure is flagged with a communication
shutdown. If, subsequently, the digital communication shutdown can be cleared via a reset command
(messages are once again available on CAN Port #1 or #2), the DVP may enter either Scenario 1 or 2,
depending on the available CAN paths.
The CANopen Input Configuration of the Setpoint Source selection details screen shows the configuration
settings for the CANopen Digital Input of the DVP. The DVP’s CANopen Input can be turned off or
configured in either single (non-redundant) CANopen or redundant CANopen mode (with an optional
backup from the DVP Analog Input).
These indicators indicate the CANopen Mode (Single CANopen with or without Analog Backup, Dual
CANopen or CANopen Virtual), the active port, and Set Position value shown in percent position (%).
There are also colored indicators showing status and error messages as applicable.

These input settings allow the user to tune the response of the system to the Position Demand signal,
and the Slew Rate allows limiting the maximum rate of travel of the valve or actuator. Each feature is
described below.
Figure 2-30. Demand Input Filter Configuration
Bandwidth Filter
The bandwidth filter consists of a corner frequency setting and a damping factor. The unit for the
bandwidth of the filter is hertz (Hz). Note: This will not affect the bandwidth of the controller but will
change the bandwidth of the input signal. Damping factor is a unit-less value, but may be adjusted as
needed.
Noise Filter
The filter can be set to reduce input signal noise, i.e. from the magnetic pick-up signal variation. The
Noise Suppression Threshold is shown in percent of position (%) and noise suppression gain is displayed
unit-less values, but may be adjusted as needed.
Slew Rate Filter

The filter is displayed in percentage per second and user adjusted filter which limits the maximum rate of
change.
Note: The Slew Rate parameter controls the slew rate for Dual DVP in the “slow” operation mode
independent of the mode being active.
Edit Config
The settings can be modified using the ‘Edit Config’. Details on the settings are described in Setpoint
Source Modifications section of Chapter 3.
2.16.2. Zero Cutoff Configuration

The Zero Cutoff Function feature removes power from the motor when the position demand and actual
position meets certain criteria. The DVP and valve remains active and functional, but removing power to
the motor prevents high frequency noise from wearing the motor gear teeth. This important feature
reduces premature wear of the motor gear set when the valve is idle in one position for extended periods.
Typically, this mode of operation would be active when the engine is in a shutdown condition in standby.
Recommend this mode for "peaking power" or "peak shaving" applications.
Woodward 50
Released

When the Zero Cut-off function is enabled, position control is disabled when the demand setpoint drops
below the Low Limit setting and remains below this value for the indicated Zero Cut-off Time Delay. While
in zero-cutoff mode, the return spring applies the required force on the valve closure element to minimize
seat leakage. When this mode is active, the Zero Cut-off Active LED found on the top of each screen is
illuminated. With the spring providing proper closing force, there is virtually no variation of seat leakage
over temperature. When the demand setpoint exceeds the Zero Cut-off High Limit setting, the valve
resumes normal position control. There is no time delay when switching out of the Zero Cut-off mode.
Note: This feature is not user configurable. This functionality is valve type specific.
If the Zero Cut-off function is disabled, there may be noticeable

variation in valve leakage at the 0% setpoint. This is a result of
thermal expansion effects, which change effective loading on the seat
when the device is in closed-loop control at or near 0% setpoint. Use
this function only for spring returned valves with a hard seat.
The available settings are:

 Mode (ON or OFF) - The mode enables or disables the function.
 Low Limit (units are in % Position) - This limit sets the lower threshold to determine the activation
of the function.
 High Limit (units are in % Position) - This limit sets the upper threshold to determine the
deactivation of the function.
 Delay Time (seconds) - This setting determines the number in seconds required to elapse (after the
Low Limit Crossing) before the function activates.
Historically, user settings were monitored. Currently, the actual position of the valve is also evaluated.
Figure 2-31. Zero Cutoff Configuration Parameters
It is highly recommended to keep the zero cutoff function active at all

times to avoid motor gear wear issues. Excessive gear wear can
result when the valve is actively controlling in one fixed position for
long durations.
Woodward has provided default values that will likely meet most
customer needs. It is recommended not to alter these values. If
altering them is necessary, be sure that the operator understands the
impact of the values entered to avoid unexpected operational
characteristics.

2.16.4. Redundancy Manager Parameters

The position feedback redundancy manager provides full resolver redundancy in a dual resolver
configuration with two valve stem resolvers. It manages the operation of the two valve stem resolvers and
prevents a shutdown of the DVP in case of a fault on one of the resolvers by automatically switching to
the second resolver. The state indicator in the Position Feedback Redundancy Manager group shows the
current state of the Redundancy Manager.
One process fault scenario shows a difference between the position feedbacks of the two valve stem
resolvers. In this case the redundancy manager can be set to either automatically use the maximum of
these two available resolver feedback values, the minimum or the average of these values. As soon as
the resolver difference value exceeds the alarm or shutdown limit, the appropriate action is taken by the
control. The parameter settings of the redundancy manager for the difference error case are shown in the
Pos. Feedback Redundancy Manager Parameters group.
Position Feedback Redundancy Manager Parameters are displays only and not configurable. They
consist of Mode Used When Error Detected (a non-value display), Maximum Resolver Difference Alarm,
and Maximum Resolver Difference Shutdown, the latter two displayed in percentages.

2.16.5. Relubrication Function Configuration

The Relubrication Function Mode is an advanced feature of the DVP that triggers a fast, small amplitude,
symmetrically opposed position pulse which occurs a few times per day. The impulse is designed to
redistribute the lubrication within the actuator, while the opposing symmetry of the pulse ensures there is
no net change in flow delivery to the machine. Redistribution of lubricant provided by the periodic pulse
prevents fretting wear at various points within the actuator.
2.16.5.1. Non-ID Module Units

On first generation products such as the EM35/3103, EM35/3171, EML100/3151, and LQ25, the
relubrication function is disabled as a default setting. Should the user want to utilize this re-lubrication
function, the Position Impulse Amplitude, Impulse Half Duration, and Delay Period are configurable
parameters. These can be modified using the DVP Service Tool settings editor and creation of a custom
.wset file. If the function is activated by downloading the modified .wset file, the selected settings will be
displayed on the Position Controller Configuration screen. Please contact Woodward for recommended
settings for the products listed above.
2.16.5.2. ID Module Equipped Units

For products equipped with the ID module, the Relubrication Function configuration is read by the DVP
when the actuator is first connected and powered up. The settings are defaulted to the factory
recommended values appropriate for the controlled unit. If the relubrication function settings are modified
by downloading the modified .wset file, it is important to note that if a new valve/actuator is installed, the
DVP will revert to the default factory settings. Important: Please contact Woodward if more information is

2.18. Startup Checks

Whenever the DVP is reset from a power up or any critical diagnostics shutdown, a series of automatic
start-up checks is performed and must be successfully completed before the DVP enters the running
state. The purpose of the start-up checks is to ensure that correct feedback readings are verified, that the
valve or actuator is at the required start-up or “home” position (and confirmed by more than one sensor),
and that the actuator moves in the correct direction when commanded before resuming operation.
Since many actuators use multi-turn reduction gear trains with multi-turn feedback systems, it is important
that the starting point or “zero turn” of the system be confirmed during the start-up process. This is
particularly important for normally closed control valves, to ensure that the valve is not open at the
indicated 0% position, and to prevent a potentially dangerous high flow starting condition. For other
actuators controlling externally connected equipment or linkage, verifying the correct zero point during
startup can prevent potential collision against the actuator’s internal end-stops, or against a hard stop
within the driven linkage. This is important to prevent damage of the actuator, driven equipment, or both.
The start-up checks are a critical function designed to help ensure a safe transition of the DVP to the
normal operation mode.
The DVP Valve/Actuator Startup Check sequence includes a Minimum Direction Startup Check,
Maximum Direction Startup Check, and Motor Direction Check. Each of these are explained in detail
below. The displayed indications can sometimes change depending on the specific valve/actuator
connected. The figure shown below is used as a general explanation of the start-up sequence.
The DVP is shipped in a factory set, auto-detect mode. When connected to a valve or actuator equipped
with an integrated “ID Module”, the DVP automatically detects the type of valve to which it is connected
and performs a self-configuration process. The content of the ID Module is automatically uploaded into
the DVP which is then configured with appropriate configuration settings, including the factory set start-up
limits. The objective of the startup checks is that all start up limits are passed prior to entering the normal
operating mode.
Note: not all checks apply to all controller variants.
Figure 2-41a. Startup Checks - 3 Phase
Woodward 59
Released
Figure 2-41b. Startup Checks - LAT
During the start-up checks, the positioner performs a sequence of automated functions to ensure that the
valve or actuator is at the correct starting or “home” position. For example: for a control valve, the starting
position must be at the desired fully closed, or fully open position. For a non-return spring actuator, it is
possible that the DVP can be started up with the actuator in mid-range and the detected zero range of the
motor sensors is found in mid-travel. To prevent a misdetection of the zero position, the startup check
sequence drives the unit to the appropriate end position to perform the Motor Minimum check and for
some actuators, confirms that the full operating stroke is verified before attempting to go on-line. The
startup sequence verifies four important aspects of the system critical to safe and reliable operation.
These include the correct resolver electrical readings, verification of the zero or “home” position at the
reference end-stop position, the direction of rotation, and confirmation of the above by more than one
signal.
The start-up sequence is initiated by a reset command received from the connected control system, or
from the service tool. After receipt of the reset command, a controlled current level is applied to the
actuator to control motion at a controlled force. Motor current/force is applied first in the minimum
direction (typically closing), then in the maximum direction (typically opening). The amount of motor
current applied during the opening/closing sequence is displayed at the top of each panel. The level of
current applied in the closing direction is determined specifically for each product. The amount is
sufficient to overcome normal expected loads and friction. The amount of motor current applied in the
opening direction is generally enough to overcome the actuator’s backlash and internal friction, or in
some cases a pre-defined external load. However, for control valves, the opening current is not sufficient
to overcome the return spring, ensuring that the valve remains seated throughout the start-up sequence.
In each direction, the “Actual Start-up Positions” are checked against the factory Upper and lower limit
values. For completion of the startup check, the Actual Start-up Position values must be within the limits
upper and lower limits. To protect the system from potentially unsafe operation, the positioner will not
come on-line if the startup positions are outside the factory set upper or lower limits.

If all other diagnostic shutdowns are cleared, when the position controller is powered up and reset, the
start-up sequence is initiated. Note, it there are other active shutdowns, other than power up reset, these
must be cleared before the shutdown sequence will function. The startup checks require that all checks
are successfully completed.
2.18.1. Position Offset (Flow Rig)

Flow Rig is displayed by percentage of offset. Flow testing is conducted on valves prior to shipment.
Results from this testing determine the effective area characteristics of the valve. This value corrects for
unit-to-unit variation in flow performance (particularly low flow positions). This value is automatically set to
the correct value when uploading information from the ID Module or the settings file for the appropriate
serial number.
Example: An EGMV 0.6 in² valve is flow rigged at a reference Effective area of 0.02108 in². The nominal
map indicates that this should occur at 3% stroke. During flow testing, this effective area is found at
3.12% travel. The difference is +0.12. Therefore the Flow Rig Offset value for this particular serial number
is +0.12%.
2.18.2. Position Offset (Motor Resolver)

Each valve/actuator has a unique motor resolver reading at the zero percent (0%) position. This value is
determined and recorded for each valve/actuator system during production testing. For multi-turn
actuators, the number of turns associated with full stroke is determined by counting the number of turns
from this reference position.
2.18.3. Motor Calibration Point

Motor Resolver is displayed by percentage of Electric Revolution.

During the Min Direction Startup Check, the indicated motor current drives the valve/actuator in the
minimum direction (toward 0%). When the positioner detects that the system is no longer moving, the
motor position(s) is sampled and averaged. The average value at the stopped position is then compared
against the indicated upper and lower limits determined during factory calibration. The normal situation is
that the average value is verified between the two limits. At this point, the Startup Close Error check is
cleared (annunciated by a green status), and the startup process will commence to the Max Direction
start-up check. For actuators with redundant motor feedback, both positions must be between limits.
If the motor positions are not within the required limits, the startup checks will pause at this point. The
Startup Close Motor Error status will be displayed as a red status flag. A failed startup check can
indicate a wiring problem, or blocked valve or actuator (see the troubleshooting section of the DVP
hardware manual 26329 or 26773 as applicable).
Once the Min Direction startup check is complete, the startup sequence commences to the Max Direction
Startup Check. The indicated motor current drives the valve/actuator in the maximum direction (toward
100%) at a predetermined force level. When the positioner detects that the system is no longer moving,
the motor position(s) is sampled and averaged. The average value at the stopped position is then
compared against the indicated upper and lower limits determined during factory calibration. The normal
situation is that the average value is verified between the two limits. At this point the Startup Open Motor
Error check is cleared (annunciated by a green status). For actuators with redundant motor feedback,
both positions must be between limits.
If the motor positions are not within the required limits, the startup checks will pause at this point. The
Startup Open Motor Error status will be displayed as a red status. The start-up process will not
commence, if the startup check is not within limits, this could indicate a wiring problem, or excessive load
on the actuator.
2.18.5. Valve Stem Min. and Valve Stem Max Start-Up Range Settings
Start-up checks are also simultaneously performed using the final element feedback device where
provided (Examples are the valve shaft resolvers or output shaft LVDTs provided on some linear
actuators) The final element feedback devices are typically not a multi-turn device, and can ensure that
the system is within the appropriate end position range during the start-up checks.
The limit checks are the same as described for the Motor Min and Max Startup checks. The average start-
up position values relative to the upper and lower limits are displayed in the panels below the motor
checks.
The Startup Close/Open Shaft Error enunciations behave in the same fashion as those for the Startup
Close/Open Motor Error. Green indicates successful completion of the check. Red indicates a failure of
the check.
2.18.6. Motor Maximum Startup Direction Settings

As the last step of the startup sequence, the values measured during the closing and opening checks are
compared against the factory limits to confirm that the minimum amount of movement was observed and
in the proper direction. This confirms the Motor Direction is correct. The normal situation is that the
direction value is confirmed above the minimum movement threshold and, the Startup Motor Direction
Error check will be cleared (annunciated by a green status)
The minimum Direction Limit value is displayed as a percentage of Electric Revolution.
The Motor Direction Check Error enunciations behave in the same fashion as those for the Startup
Close/Open Motor Error. Green indicates successful completion of the check. Red indicates a failure of
the check.
Woodward 62
Released
By applying different amounts of motor current during the start-up check, correct wiring of the motor is
verified. If a single phase of a 3 phase motor is switched, the motor will rotate in the incorrect direction. If
there is a wiring fault, or open lead, the motor may not rotate at all. By ensuring that a minimum amount
of motor rotation is confirmed, and in the correct direction, this critical aspect of the system is also verified
before the system is brought on-line.
2.18.7. 100% Check

For some valve types an additional check is performed, a 100% check. During the 100% Check, the
setpoint is ramped up in the maximum direction until the valve/actuator stops moving indicating it is at the
max mechanical stop. When the positioner detects that the system is no longer moving, the position is
sampled and compared against the indicated upper and lower limits determined during factory calibration.
A failure will set the Check 100 Percent Error.
Upon successful completion of the startup checks, the positioner will progress to the normal operating
state and the position will begin tracking the setpoint received from the controller, or from the manual
entry of the service tool.

DVP Configuration
3.1. Introduction
The DVP is a highly customizable positioner, which provides significant application flexibility to the user.
The configuration of the device is performed using the settings editor wizard, which is a feature of the PC
service tool. The settings wizard presents a set of parameters similar to that displayed in the monitoring
function of the service tool, but allows certain parameters to be changed, and then reloaded into the
control.
potentially shut down the prime mover!
Since sudden on-line modification of key operating parameters could result in unexpected behavior, the
control settings are modified in an off-line mode, and then reloaded into the DVP while it is shut down.
This ensures that the system changes will have no adverse effect on the valve(s) which are being
controlled by the DVP. This process also allows the user to review the settings after they are uploaded to
the control, thus ensuring that the settings are as intended, prior to bringing the system on-line.
The DVP configuration process generally begins by navigating to the screen(s) provided and adjusting
the settings on those screens. Creating a settings file using the setting editor is still available, but in
practice using the screens provided is much more efficient and user friendly.
If a pre-configured settings file exists, it can be loaded directly to the DVP. If this is the scenario you are
using, skip the next section and go straight to the ‘Loading a DVP Settings File to the DVP’ section.

DVP.
Configuration Window Options

Each on-line configuration window has three options for selected changes, Ok, Cancel or Apply. Selecting
Cancel closes the window and ignores any changes. Selecting Ok saves the changes to the device and
closes the window. Selecting Apply saves the changes to the device but keeps the window open.
Configuration Data Range

The allowed range for an analog setting is displayed on the lower-left of the main service tool screen

3.2. Valve Type Selection

This indicator group gives an overview of the status of the Valve Type Selection Process. The progress of
the auto-detection process is displayed as a percent value.
There are two ways to adjust DVP configuration, manipulating WSET files and using the online toolset.
We will begin with instructions on how the online toolset is used and WSET manipulation will be explained
in detail in chapter 4.
3.2.1. Initiating the DVP to Auto-Detection Mode

The DVP is shipped by factory default in auto-detect mode. As soon as a valve, which has an integrated
ID Module, is connected to the DVP for the first time, the DVP will auto-detect the type of valve and
perform a self-configuration procedure. The content of the ID Module is automatically imported into the
DVP and the control is configured with the valve specific settings (valve serial number, the product code,
and the revision). After the auto-detection process is completed successfully, the DVP is configured
specifically for this particular valve.
Figure 3-1. Identification Page
The following screenshots shows the status of the Valve Type Selection Process after connecting a new
valve to an already configured DVP.
If a new valve is connected to the DVP, on power up the DVP will annunciate a process type or serial
number error to show that the DVP has never been configured to run with the new valve. If the DVP
firmware recognizes the new valve’s ID module, clicking the Auto Detection Request button will restore
the flag to the green nominal state.

When a new valve is connected to the DVP and the existing firmware does not match the new valve type
the Type Not Supported error flag will illuminate red. To restore the flag to the green nominal state you
may:
1. Contact Woodward for a new firmware upload or
2. Obtain a new Wset file from Woodward and refer to the ‘Managing DVP Settings Files’ process in

3.3.6. CANopen Input Configuration

The settings for CANopen are provided on the CANopen Input Configuration page. This configuration
page allows you to set the communication parameters and settings, providing options to set the
configuration to your needs. The content of the Communications Settings section varies with the CAN
Hardware ID Mode setting.
Note: Recommend you do not adjust the Mode under ‘Communications Settings Selected by
Hardware ID’. If you have a requirement to adjust these settings, contact Woodward for instructions
not contained within this manual.
3.3.6.1. CANopen Communication Parameters

This section shows the communication parameter settings of the CANopen Digital Input. The Baud Rate
and port-specific Node IDs are shown as well as the Timeout parameter that determines the quality of the
CAN communication link. The DVP normally uses a non-standard implementation of the CANopen
protocol. The number of PDOs has been increased over the standard setting to allow more data transfer
between NMT and the DVP. This can be disabled in order to communicate with other customer’s
products, which may require a true implementation of the CANopen protocol compliant to the standard.
The status of the Extended PDOs (enabled or disabled) can also be seen in this section.
One of the following baud rates can be selected for the CANopen communication link:
 125K Baud
 250K Baud
 500K Baud
A timeout value between 1 ms and 1000 ms specified for the CAN communication link. This value is
specified once for both of the CAN channels and is modified by typing in the desired value in the window
or clicking the up/down arrows.
3.3.6.2. CANopen Redundancy Manager Parameters

This section shows the parameter settings of the CANopen Redundancy Manager. The CANopen
Redundancy Manager compares the two CANopen Position Demands on the two available CAN channels
and checks the difference between them. If the difference between those two position demands is bigger
than the specified limit, an alarm or shutdown command will be issued. The difference has to be presented
for longer than the time specified in the parameter settings for the fault condition to be detected by the
Redundancy Manager. The Redundancy Manager is used in CANopen single mode between CAN port 1
and Analog.
CAN Node ID Selection

When using CANopen communications, it is necessary to set the CAN Node ID to a unique value to
ensure that the DVP responds to commands intended for the appropriate device. There are two methods
for setting this value, software or hardware/wiring. The method is defaulted to a predetermined
configuration based on the DVP part number, but can be changed using the Service Tool. With the
software option, the node ID setting is a user-defined value set in software. The hardware/wiring (also
referred to as harness coding) option uses discrete inputs to select an index which sets the node ID
value. The index is determined by the power-up state of the discrete inputs. Note that the discrete input
condition is based on open or closed state at power-up, ignoring the active high/low configuration.
Changes to any Node ID-related software settings require a power cycle to take effect.
The discrete input CAN ID selection has three different options (see CAN Hardware ID Mode). The index
can be based on two, three, or four discrete inputs, allowing three, seven, or 15 valid preprogrammed
settings. This selection method is set using the Service Tool as part of the CAN demand configuration.

CANopen Dual:
This mode uses CAN port 1 and CAN port 2. If the two ports are working correctly, information received from
CAN port 1 is used. If communication by CAN port 1 is not possible any more (detected by communication time
out), CAN port 2 is used for communication.
CANopen Virtual:
This mode is used when two DVPs are linked together to control more than one actuator or valve. This is used
for Dual Redundant DVP Operation.
Port 1 Node ID
This value sets the node ID for the DVP on CAN port 1.
Port 2 Node ID

3.4.1 Demand Input Filter Configuration

This group contains the settings for the setpoint filter. If the input filter is turned off, the setpoint signal is
not filtered. The bandwidth filter acts to limit the system response to the specified settings (required by
some applications). The noise suppression filter attenuates the amplitude of low amplitude, high
frequency noise signals (due to speed pickup anomalies, or transducer noise). The input filter is used to
shape the frequency response characteristics of the valve/actuator system for bandwidth, noise and slew
rate limiting to certain applications.
Mode Selection

 Bandwidth Filter
 Noise Filter
 BW and Noise Filter
 Slew Rate Filter
 Slew Rate and BW Filter
 Slew Rate and Noise Filter
 Slew Rate, BW, and Noise Filter
The active settings of the input filter are displayed in the Input Filter Settings group. This input filter is
used to shape the frequency response characteristics of the valve/actuator system for bandwidth limiting
certain applications.
The Bandwidth filter can be set to reduce input signal noise, i.e. from the magnetic pick-up signal
variation. This is a linear second order filter for limiting the bandwidth of the setpoint of the position
control. The units for the bandwidth of the filter is hertz (Hz). Note: This will not affect the bandwidth of the
controller but will change the bandwidth of the input signal. Damping factor is a unit-less value.
The Noise filter will dampen the effects of small amplitude, high frequency signals. The Noise
Suppression Threshold is provided in percent of position (%) and sets the voltage threshold below which
the low gain filter is in effect. The noise suppression gain is a unit-less value. The filter input range is
normalized at 0 to 1. Inputs with an amplitude change greater than the threshold shall pass through the
filter with a gain of 1. Inputs with an amplitude delta less than the B1 threshold shall pass through the filter
with a gain of B2/B1. This gain is equivalent to filter BW in rad/sec times the sample period.
(B2/B1=BW*Ts)
The Slew Rate limiter can also be applied, to limit the maximum rate of change applied by the position
demand signal. The units of this limiter is percent per second.
For a Dual DVP system, the Slew Rate setting controls the rate of movement if only one actuator/valve is
operational. Therefore, only modify the setting if intending to change that behavior. Additionally, for a Dual
DVP system the slew rate should be set to the same value on both DVP units.
Any combination of these filters can be applied, as determined by the Mode selection.

amplitude signals to pass through.

Each process fault or status flag can be configured as either an alarm or shutdown, and can be
configured as either active or disabled. In the presence of detected condition, a diagnostic configured as
a shutdown will result with the DVP overriding the setpoint and directing the actuator to the failsafe
position (in most cases 0%). If a diagnostic is configured as an alarm, the detected condition will be
annunciated on the service tool, and a discrete output if selected, but the DVP will continue to control. A
disabled diagnostic is annunciated, and does not generate a shutdown condition.
Alarm: Enunciated, but no effect on control behavior.

Shutdown: Enunciated with shutdown of the device.
Off: The condition will not show up in an overall Alarm or Shutdown status, but the individual indicator will
still show the actual status.

3.7. Discrete Input Configuration

This page provides the discrete input settings for the overall action mode and active open/closed
selection on each input.
Figure 3-36. Discrete Inputs Configuration
Note: The option to select and use the DI signals is subject to being over-ridden if the CAN HW ID
mode is enabled or the Motor brake functionality is in use.
3.7.1. Discrete Inputs Action

The action mode facilitates a choice of pre-set functionality for the discrete inputs. The functionality
assigned to the discrete input is described below.
For 'TURNED OFF':
No actions selected, discrete input functions are not used.
For ‘SHUTDOWN RESET / RESET’:
Sets Discrete Input 1 to Shutdown/Reset and Discrete Input 2 to Reset. DI 3 is not used.
For 'AUX3':
Discrete Input 3 is assigned as Shutdown/Reset. Discrete inputs 1 & 2 are not used.
For 'AUX3 SD+RESET':
Sets DI 1= Shutdown/Reset, DI 2= Reset and DI 3= Shutdown/Reset.
For 'SHUTDOWN RESET / RESET FAST':
Sets Discrete 1 to Shutdown/Reset and Discrete 2 to Reset. Reset off delay time of 100 ms.
This mode will do the same as the non-fast "Shutdown Reset/Reset" but the delay time has
been reduced to 100 ms. This is used for legacy control system where the reset time has been
typically set to 1 sec. This will make the DVP compatible with the reset / Run input on the EM
digital Driver.
Shutdown/Reset Function
This is a dual function input. When 'Shutdown' is asserted, a shutdown is executed. When the shutdown
assertion is removed, a reset is performed (after a 1sec delay, 100ms if Fast is configured). A Shutdown
commanded by Discrete Input 1 will trigger an ‘External Shutdown’ diagnostic. A Shutdown commanded
by Discrete Input 3 will trigger an ‘AUX3 SD Position’ diagnostic.
Reset Function
Reset is a command to clear all latched diagnostics that are no longer active. The reset command is
executed upon assertion removal, after it was asserted. It is edge-triggered with a 1 sec delay. Example if
input is configured as active closed and the reset discrete input is closed/asserted, the reset command
occurs 1sec after the input opens (100ms if ‘Shutdown Reset/Reset Fast’ is configured).
If a reset is triggered while the DVP is running, a reset command will be issued, which does not have any
effect on the operation of the DVP. However if the DVP is shut down, the issued reset command will start
up the DVP and it will reset the shutdown, assuming it was no longer active.

3.7.2. Discrete Inputs Active Open/Closed

Selection of active open (unchecked) or active closed (checked box) is provided for each input.
The default behavior of these discrete inputs is that their state is true or positive when the discrete input is
active or the input contact is closed. De-selecting the input box will reverse this default behavior. This
behavior can be modified individually for each discrete input. For active open (unchecked), the
Shutdown/Reset will issue a shutdown when the input is open.
We recommend that the shutdown discrete inputs be configured as active open in order to protect against
broken wires. A broken wire will look like an open input, which will be the inactive state and would
generate a shutdown.
Modification of these settings could affect operation of the DVP! An

appropriate review of the settings is recommended PRIOR to making

3.8.1. Analog Output Mode

The DVP control variable represented by the analog output signal is configurable from the Mode
Selection pull-down list. The following options can be selected:
 Turned Off
 Actual Position
 Echo Setpoint
 Motor Current (quadrature current)
3.8.2. Analog Output Position Scaling

By adjusting the input scaling values, the selected DVP control variable can be calibrated to the input of a
transmitting or monitoring device. Alternatively, the output values can be adjusted to match those
observed at the transmitting device.
The position at minimum current value is directly related to the minimum current value (0.0% and 4.0 mA).
Similarly, the value of position at maximum current value is directly related to the maximum current value
(100.0% and 20.0 mA). As the current values increase or decrease, the actual position will increase and
decrease proportionately.
3.9. Discrete Output 1 Configuration

The main configuration of the discrete outputs is performed on this page. Each of the discrete outputs is
configured in the same manner. Each of the two discrete outputs can be configured to activate (or de-
activate) upon detection of any of fault conditions monitored by the DVP.
From the pull-down list, the following options may be selected:

Each discrete output can be triggered by any of the process fault and status flags detected within the
DVP. To select which diagnostics will trigger the discrete output, select the check box to the left of the
desired diagnostic. If more than one diagnostic is selected the discrete output will be triggered if any
single condition is detected. This behavior acts as an OR condition.

Managing DVP Settings Files
4.1. Managing DVP Settings Files
Incorrect settings may adversely affect the performance, accuracy,

behavior, and safety of the valve/actuator/DVP system. Do not make
changes to these settings without thoroughly reviewing the
configuration section of this manual. Injury to personnel or equipment
damage may result.
Management of the DVP settings files is performed via the ‘Settings’ menu, accessible from the main
toolbar. Selection from these options initiates the Setting Editor Wizard.
4.1.1. Valves with an ID Module

The DVP is shipped by factory default in auto-detect mode. As soon as a valve, which has an integrated
ID Module, is connected to the DVP for the first time, the DVP will auto-detect the type of valve and
perform a self-configuration procedure. The content of the ID Module is automatically imported into the
DVP and the control is configured with the valve specific settings (valve serial number, the product code,
and the revision). After the auto-detection process is completed successfully, the DVP is configured
specifically for this particular valve.
4.1.2. Valves without an ID Module

If no ID module is presented Woodward provides a valve configuration file that contains the pre-set valve
parameter setting for your application. The settings file can be uploaded into the DVP using the DVP
Service Tool Settings Editor Wizard. The settings should be verified with the serial number of the valve or
actuator prior to the operation. (See Valve Type Selection Screen)
The configuration of the actuator and valve related settings are shown on the Valve Type Selection
screen. This screen is used to verify that the correct application specific actuator/valve settings are
present in the DVP. This should be verified after new settings have been loaded into the DVP using the
DVP Settings Editor Wizard.

4.4. Loading a DVP Settings File to the DVP

Certain actuator and valve products controlled by the DVP require specific setting combinations for proper
operation. An example of required configuration variables include the motor and gear train specifics
required to ensure that the LELA ball screw actuator can position precisely over a 1.5 inch (38 mm) travel
for one valve type, or 2 inches (51 mm) of travel for another valve type. These settings are made in the
DVP by uploading a pre-determined configuration provided by Woodward.
To obtain the configuration file for the actuator/valve unit, contact Woodward at 1-800–523-2831 and
request product applications engineering. Provide the applications engineer with the part number, serial
number and manufacturing date code for your unit. The applications engineer will e-mail a copy of the
appropriate settings file(s) for your devices and the DVP service tool.
Incorrect settings may adversely affect the performance, accuracy,

behavior and safety of the valve/actuator/positioner system. Do not
make changes to these settings without thoroughly reviewing the
section of this manual regarding configuration. Injury to personnel or
equipment may result.

5.2. Product Service 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).
Woodward 112

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.

DVP Software Upgrade
This chapter addresses the options for upgrading the DVP software to a newer released version using the
DVP Service Tool.
The steps provided in this section can be applied to any DVP software upgrade. Appendix G provides an
overview of the entire process needed including updating DVP settings for compatibility with the upgraded
software version.
Contact Woodward for DVP upgrade compatibility, firmware, and any

additional special instructions required.
General Upgrade Information

Perform the software upgrade using the DVP Service Tool version 9927-1736E (or later). Obtain DVP
Service tool through Woodward service personnel or from the Woodward software download website. In
order to know which version of the service tool will be suitable for the DVP, Woodward requires that you
provide the part number, serial number, and manufacturing date code of the DVP. The product part
number, serial number, and product date code print on the Product ID label.
The DVP software is supplied in the form of a file with the extension *.wapp (for example, DVP 5418-
2959NEW.wapp). It is important to save the file in a local drive where it can be easily accessed for later
use.
The upgrade process will replace the application software running on the DVP. Except when otherwise
noted, the new application software is backwards compatible with older versions of the software.
Woodward recommends performing the software upgrade when the

DVP is operating OFFLINE! In the process of upgrading the software,
the DVP will stop its operation and the valve/actuator system will shut
down.
Check the system to ensure it is safe to upgrade before proceeding

with the software upgrade.
During the upgrade process, the current DVP configuration automatically converts to the new software
version.
Make sure to review the upgraded settings on the appropriate DVP

Service Tool pages before resetting the DVP! Do NOT reset the DVP
without reviewing the settings!

User Force Limiter Mode
Introduction
The User Force Limiter (UFL) mode lets the user independently control the actuator force and slew rate.
When used properly, this mode simplifies commissioning and prevents damage to an unadjusted linkage.
On initial entry into UFL mode, the user adjustable force and slew rate are set to zero (0). The user must
gradually increase the force and slew rate until the actuator begins to move. The user force and user slew
rate are multiplied with the default maximum force and default maximum slew rate to reduce the
actuator’s force and slew rate. When UFL mode is disabled, the force and slew rate return to the factory
defaults.
This feature is not available in all applications. At the time of this publication only ELA13/IGVA and
ELA26/NGVA actuators are supported (table C-1).
Note: The Reduced Torque Error always displays yellow when DVP is in User Force Mode. This is a
nominal condition.
When selecting Disabled on the User Force Enable selector, the User Force/Slew Rate percent of
maximum inputs return to zero.
Note: Only use the User Force Limiter Mode for initial setup. Disable User Force Limiter mode after
initial system setup is complete.
When using the User Force Limiter mode, recommend the demand input source be set to Manual. When
complete, set the input source back to the original settings.
Table C-1. Maximum Rated Force and Slew Rate
9904-3207 IGVA 9904-3208 NGVA

Max Rated Force = 20 kN Max Rated Force = 26 kN
Max Rated Slew Rate = 65.0 mm/sec Max Rated Slew Rate = 49.2 mm/sec
First Enable
The user has the ability to reduce the actuator maximum force and maximum slew rate. The initial values
of User Force/Slew Rate Percent of maximum are zero and the user must increase those values to initiate
actuator movement.
If the user issues a shutdown or reset control when the User Force
Limiter mode is enabled, the DVP may fail the startup checks if the
User Force/Slew Rate Percent of Maximum are set too low.

First Startup
This screen provides the user the ability to reduce actuator maximum Force and Slew Rate which is
useful during initial setup on a turbine where freedom of movement is restricted or limited.
Figure C-2 is how the screen appears when enabling UFL Mode and the user has clicked the Reset
button resulting in multiple alarms enunciated. The Reduced Torque Error is set because of enabling UFL
mode. The other errors are all part of the actuator start-up check sequence. They show that because with
UFL mode enabled, and the force and slew rate set at 0%, the DVP cannot move the actuator to perform
the start-up checks. The specific alarms may vary depending upon the actuator type which is
communicating with the DVP.
Figure C-2. First Startup Screen
Need to Change Demand Source

This screen shows a warning that the setpoint source of the DVP is not in manual control. The warning on
this screen is telling the user that the Manual Position mode is not selected, so another interface is in
control of the Position Demand. A user will typically use Manual Position mode during UFL operation so
the Position Demand can be controlled from the service tool. If this is desired,
then click and select Manual Position from the dropdown menu. When this action
is complete, continue with normal operations.
Figure C-3 shows that selecting Manual Operation is required for proper operation of the UFL.

Normal Commissioning Situation

There are configurations possible due to the flexibility of UFL to adapt to a plethora of user-specific
situations. Examples of two of these follow.
Figure C-4 shows a normal commissioning situation where the user has moved the actuator to 50% at
reduced force and slew rate.
Figure C-4. Actuator 50%, Reduced Force, Reduced Slew Rate
Figure C-5 shows the DVP will remain at 50% position even though the command is asking for 80%

Advanced Startup Diagnostics

The DVP driver offers many improvements over the EM Digital Driver. A noted improvement that is
covered in this appendix is the Advanced Startup Diagnostics. This is a startup check performed before
the valve is put into operation or run mode by the driver. This check is used to help determine possible
wiring or valve issues before the valve is put into operation. This startup diagnostic uses small levels of
motor current to verify proper motor and resolver connections.
The startup parameters must be populated by following the instructions in the Service Tool. The DVP
Service Tool provides specific instructions for calculating these values and loading them into the driver.
Disconnecting the EM Digital Driver
POWER TO UNIT:
Make sure the power to the EM Driver is turned off before removing
the wiring from the driver. Always check to ensure all power is off and
it is safe before proceeding with the DVP installation.

1. Enter the resolver values found on the TSP or valve nameplate into their respective boxes. Click the
“Apply” button. Press “OK” to close the Manual Configuration dialog box.
2. Complete steps 2-5. Follow the onscreen instructions for entering the startup check values. Perform a
reset of the DVP after each step is completed. Use the Edit configuration button to enter startup
check values into the appropriate fields.
Note: For dual resolver valves steps 2-5 will have a total of 4 values that need to be entered: min and
max start up for each shaft.
3. Note: For Steps 3 and 5: Use this value to calculate the min startup diagnostic levels for the motor
resolver. For the LQ3151, these levels should be 12.5% higher / lower than the measured value.
4. If subtracting 12.5% from this number results in a number less than 0%, subtract the difference from
0% from 100% to get the correct number. For example:
a. If Min Check Measured Value Motor = 8.5%
b. Min Check Max Value Motor = 8.5+12.5 = 21%
c. Min Check Min Value Motor = 8.5-12.5 = -4 = 100-4 = 96%
5. If adding 12.5% results in a number above 100%, the remainder above 100% becomes the correct
value. For example:
a. If Min Check Measured Value Motor = 94%
b. Min Check Max Value Motor = 94 +12.5 = 106.5 = 6.5 %
c. Min Check Min Value Motor = 94 – 12.5 = 81.5 %
After completing step 5, the valve configuration setup is complete.

Zero Cutoff Functionality
Only change DVP settings while the engine is not running and in a
safe state.
Changing the values of the zero cutoff function while the engine is
online may cause an unstable situation and resulting damage to the
prime mover with possible personal injury, loss of life, or property
damage.
The Zero Cutoff Function feature removes power from the motor when the position demand meets certain
criteria. The DVP and valve remain active and functional, but removing power to the motor prevents high
frequency noise from wearing the motor gear teeth. This is an important feature that reduces premature
wear of the motor gear set when the valve is idle in one position for extended periods of time. Typically,
this mode of operation would be active when the engine is in a shutdown condition in standby. This mode
is recommended for "peaking power" or "peak shaving" applications.
Figure E-16. Manual Configuration of Valve Calibration Window

Zero Cutoff Configuration
Woodward 167
Released
Zero Cutoff Operation

The available settings are:
 Mode (ON or OFF) - The mode enables or disables the function.
 Low Limit (units are in % Position) - This limit sets the lower threshold to determine the activation
of the function.
 High Limit (units are in % Position) - This limit sets the upper threshold to determine the
deactivation of the function.
 Delay Time (seconds) - This setting determines the number in seconds required to elapse (after the
Low Limit Crossing) before the function activates.
Figure E-17, Zero Cutoff Configuration Parameters Window
It is highly recommended to keep the zero cutoff function active at all

times to avoid motor gear wear issues. Excessive gear wear can
result when the valve is actively controlling in one fixed position for
long durations.
Woodward has provided default values that will likely meet most
customer needs. It is recommended not to alter these values. If
altering them is necessary, be sure that the operator understands the
impact of the values entered to avoid unexpected operational
characteristics.
Woodward 168
Released

When active, the Zero Cutoff Function illuminates the yellow “Zero Cutoff Active” LED.
Figure E-18. Zero Cutoff Active/Inactive Indications
The criteria for activating the Zero Cutoff Function can be explained by the diagram below.
 The valve demand must be below the Low Limit Threshold for the duration of the delay time.
 The zero cutoff function will remain active until the demand crosses the upper limit.
 The valve will respond with zero delay when the cutoff deactivates.

DVP Conversion Process
This section provides a high level process for conversion of a DVP from an older to a newer revision.
Version references are identified in table G-1. The DVP firmware is updated using the process in
Appendix B.
5.0X to 6.0X Conversion Process Standard Solution

The general steps in the process are as follows:
A. Record Redundancy Manager Values (Refer to “Instructions to record the 5.03 Redundancy Manager
Values” section below)
B. Convert 5.0X WSET files to 5.03
C. Convert 5.03 WSET files to 6.01
D. Convert 6.01 WSET files to the desired 6.0x (most current) version
E. Confirm/Adjust Redundancy Manager Values
Notes:
1. Reference “Appendix B: DVP Software Upgrade” for firmware loading procedure
2. Record the Resolver Offsets, Valve Identification (Part and Serial Number) and Redundancy
Manager Values.
The Standard Solutions involve using only the 9927-1736 Rev K and 9927-2265 Rev E or greater of the
Service Tools.
DVP customers who are running Software 5.00 – 5.03 firmware perform the following Standard Solution
Steps:
1. If not already installed, then install the 9927-1736K Service Tool

Note: To ensure success, first uninstall any recent ToolKit version
2. Start the 1736K Service Tool,
3. Connect to the target DVP,
4. Save the settings into a local WSET file using “Settings/Save from Device…” and selecting “Software
update settings”
5. Record the Resolver Offsets and Valve Identification settings.
6. Record the 5.0X Redundancy Manager Values (see instructions below)
7. Convert the WSET file to 5.03 SID format using the “Setting/Associate…” capability. Skip this step for
units already running firmware version 5.03.
8. Close the 1736K service tool,
9. Install and open the 2265 Rev E or greater Service Tool,
10. Select the Hardware platform you are upgrading:
a. If you are upgrading the DVP firmware
i. Load the desired 6.0X Firmware into the DVP by using Service tool 9927-2265 Rev E
or later and follow the SW upgrade procedure outlined in “Appendix B: DVP Software
Upgrade.” Do not select the option to “Restore the device’s current settings after
loading the application.”.
ii. Load the factory default settings (i.e. DVP5418-XXXXFactoryDefault.wset)
iii. Cycle power on the DVP
b. If you are converting old WSET files to load into a DVP already running 6.0X Firmware, then
connect the Service Tool to this DVP Hardware.
11. Convert the 5.03 WSET files to 6.01 using the “Associate Settings File with Application…” option.
12. Load the updated WSET file into the 6.0X DVP.
13. Confirm the settings for Resolver Offsets and Valve Identification, and make any required changes.
14. Confirm the Redundancy Manager Values and make any required changes (see instructions below).
Woodward 186
Released

Note: After the 9927-2265 Rev E or greater Service Tool is installed the 9927-1736K version of the
Service Tool will still be available. The most recent version of the ToolKit will run the 1736K version of
the Service Tool so you can move between them if you have multiple DVP controls to convert.
Firmware Revision Number to Part Number Cross Reference

Each DVP firmware has a version reference and a part number reference. The table below provides a
summary. Refer to the Firmware Identification section in Chapter 2 for information on identifying the DVP
firmware part number.

There are three Redundancy Manager Values:
1. Mode used when error is detected
2. Max. Resolver Difference Alarm
3. Max. Resolver Difference Shutdown
These values are not normally displayed directly in the 1736K Service Tool so must be viewed from the
