🚀 Standard Operating Procedure
- 🛠️ Pre-Start Loop Inspection: Verify low-voltage DC power supply wiring matches 18–40 VDC specifications. Inspect field wiring across all 4 analog inputs, 3 analog outputs, 8 discrete inputs, and dual MPU speed channels.
- ⚡ Power On Sequence: Apply DC control power. Confirm front panel status LEDs illuminate and internal self-diagnostics pass without system fault warnings.
- 🕹️ Control Mode Setup: Select initial operating mode (Isochronous, Droop, or Remote Speed Reference) using external discrete inputs or serial network commands.
- 🏎️ Prime Mover Start: Initiate the engine start sequence. The 9907-247 tracks speed feedback through its dual speed sensor channels and executes programmed acceleration ramps up to rated operational speed.
- 📊 Operational Monitoring: Monitor real-time speed feedback, fuel demand output percentage, process analog inputs, and relay output statuses via Watch Window software.
- 🛑 Controlled System Shutdown: Issue a stop command via discrete inputs or serial commands to smoothly ramp fuel actuators down to zero before stopping the prime mover.
⚙️ Parameter Configuration Guide
- 💻 Connect a PC running Woodward Watch Window software or attach a Handheld Programmer (HHP) to the 9-pin serial service port.
- 🔑 Log in using the authorized security password level to unlock parameter tuning and I/O terminal mapping menus.
- 📑 Navigate to setup menu blocks, including Dual Speed Sensing Configuration, PID Dynamics (Gain/Reset), Analog I/O Scaling, and Discrete Logic Mapping.
- ✏️ Configure the 4 analog inputs and 3 analog outputs for target process or remote bias signals, and assign logic functions to the 8 discrete inputs and 3 discrete outputs.
- 💾 Select “Save Values” to store all updated settings into non-volatile EEPROM memory prior to disconnecting software.
🔄 Manual / Automatic Mode Switching
- 🖐️ To Select Manual Mode: Actuate the designated local/manual discrete contact switch or set a manual override in Watch Window. Manual mode grants operators local authority over speed setpoints and actuator positions.
- 🤖 To Select Auto Mode: Toggle control input contacts back to Automatic mode. The controller automatically maintains closed-loop speed loops or responds to remote DCS commands via Modbus or analog inputs.
