SPC Servo Position Controller


Applications
The Servo Position
Controller (SPC) is a servo-
valve driver that accepts a
DeviceNet or 4–20 mA
based position demand
signal from a system • Fieldbus controlled
controller, and accurately (via DeviceNet)
positions proportional or
integrating servo-valves. • Field configurable
The SPC has the required • Accepts redundant
accuracy, responsiveness, and redundancy required for steam or gas turbine fuel
valve control. For valve position sensing, the SPC accepts feedback signals from command signals

A Windows based software program is used to configure the SPC, adjust tunables, feedback signals
and monitor parameters via a personal computer. For ease of service, SPC
configurations can be done while connected or disconnected to the unit. Once a • Compatible with

and downloaded to other SPCs as desired. signals
The SPC’s position feedback circuit includes integral excitation and signal-
conditioning circuitry for LVDT and RVDT based position sensing devices.

Protection
The SPC includes protection and alarm indication for the following faults:
y DeviceNet Comm Time-out y Analog Input Out-of-Range
y Feedback Open-Wire y Feedback Voltage Out-of-Range
y Position Error y Internal SPC Faults
y Actuator Open/Short y Driver Overcurrent
A hard-wired shutdown contact input and relay driver output are provided to allow for
interfacing with external protection circuits.
Woodward 03254 p.2

Redundancy
Optionally the SPC can be configured to accept redundant position commands and redundant servo position
feedback signals. The SPC has the capability to accept DeviceNet and 4–20 mA based position demand signals and
upon the failure of either demand signal to switch to the healthy input demand signal. The SPC also has the
capability to accept two servo position feedback signals and switch to the healthy feedback signal when one of the
feedback signals fails.
