IOLOCK. When a CPU or I/O module fails, watchdog logic drives it

into an IOLOCK condition where all output circuits and signals are
driven to a known de-energized state as described below. The
System MUST be designed such that IOLOCK and power OFF states
will result in a SAFE condition of the controlled device.
• CPU and I/O module failures will drive the module into an
IOLOCK state.
• CPU failure will assert an IOLOCK signal to all modules and
expansion racks to drive them into an IOLOCK state.
• Discrete outputs / relay drivers will be non-active and de-
energized.
• Analog and actuator outputs will be non-active and de-energized
with zero voltage or zero current.
The IOLOCK state is asserted under various conditions including:

• CPU and I/O module watchdog failures
• PowerUp and PowerDown conditions
• System reset and hardware/software initialization
• Entering configuration mode
NOTE: Additional watchdog details and any exceptions to these

failure states are specified in the related CPU or I/O module section
of the manual.
The engine, turbine, or other type of prime mover should be

equipped with an overspeed shutdown device to protect against
runaway or damage to the prime mover with possible personal injury,
Overspeed / loss of life, or property damage.
Overtemperature / The overspeed shutdown device must be totally independent of the
Overpressure prime mover control system. An overtemperature or overpressure
shutdown device may also be needed for safety, as appropriate.

runaway or overspeed with possible personal injury, loss of life, or
Start-up property damage.
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.
• 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.
External wiring connections for reverse-acting controls are identical

to those for direct-acting controls.

General Information
1.1. Introduction
The MicroNet Plus and MicroNet Simplex controls are 32-bit microprocessor-based digital controllers that
are programmable for many types of applications in the control of:
• Gas and Steam Turbines
• Gas and Diesel Engines
• Hydro Turbines
The MicroNet Controls family provide a flexible system to control any prime mover and its associated
processes such as high speed control functions, system sequencing, auxiliary system control, surge
control, monitoring and alarming, and station control. The MicroNet platform is available in simplex,
redundant, and Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) configurations. This manual covers only simplex and
redundant based control configurations. Please refer to manual 26167 for TMR-based control
configurations.
The MicroNet Operating System, together with Woodward’s Graphical Application Program (GAP),
produces a powerful control environment. Woodward’s unique rate group structure ensures that control
functions will execute deterministically at rate groups defined by the application engineer. Critical control
loops can be processed within five milliseconds. Less critical code is typically assigned to slower rate
groups. The rate group structure prevents the possibility of changing system dynamics by adding
additional code. Control is always deterministic and predictable.
Dedicated inputs and outputs (I/O) are available onboard for key control signals while distributed I/O can
be used for other less critical parameters.
Communications with the MicroNet platform are available to program and service the control as well as to
interface with other systems (Plant DCS, HMI, etc.). Application code is generated by use of Woodward’s
GAP program or Woodward’s Ladder Logic programming environment. A service interface allows the user
to view and tune system variables. Several tools are available to provide this interface (see Engineering
and Service Access). Communication protocols such as TCP/IP, OPC, Modbus, and other current
designs are included so that the user can correctly interface the control to existing or new plant level
systems.
The MicroNet platform is expandable into multiple chassis as required by the system size and will support
any mix of I/O, including networked and distributed I/O. The MicroNet control is available in chassis sizes
with 6, 8, 12, or 14 VME slots. Each has dedicated power supply and control sections located in a single
chassis. The power supply architecture supports simplex or redundant power supplies.

2.1. MicroNet Plus Redundant

The MicroNet controls family is developed around the VME chassis and a CPU module that goes into the
first active slot of the VME chassis. All I/O modules plug into the remaining slots of the VME chassis.
The MicroNet Plus chassis offers both simplex (single CPU) and redundant (dual CPU) operation with up to
14 VME slots per chassis. The system may be expanded using copper or fiber cables to multiple chassis to
accommodate additional system I/O requirements.

2.1.2. Redundant CPU Theory

The MicroNet Plus control system uses redundant CPU5200/CPU5200L modules that must be located in
the first and last VME slots (A1 and A8 / A14). The chassis has a single motherboard and houses 2 power-
supplies, 2 CPUs, and 12 I/O slots. The CPUs share a single data path to the VME modules and each
other.
In a redundant system, there are two CPU modules, running the same application program, receiving power from
the same pins on the VME backplane, and with access to the I/O modules over the same VME bus. The CPU
modules communicate their health to each other over the VME bus, and arbitrate for control of the bus. The CPU
which is in slot 1 and in good “health” first, gains control of the I/O modules, and is called the System Controller or
SYSCON. The other CPU is then the backup or STANDBY CPU. The SYSCON sends all necessary state
information to the backup CPU, allowing it to take control of the I/O modules if the SYSCON fails.
The following conditions will cause a failover from the SYSCON CPU to the backup STANDBY CPU:
• Failure of the on board CPU module power supplies
• Failure of the processor core, including the processor, RAM, flash, oscillator, and supporting internal
circuitry.
• A reset of the SYSCON CPU, caused by the front panel or remote Resets
• An application requested failover
• An application stop

2.1.3. Redundant Power Supplies

Two load sharing power supplies provide redundant power to the motherboard, CPU and I/O modules. The
MicroNet Plus power supplies are 2-slot wide each and are located at each end of the chassis in the
designated PS1 and PS2 slots.
2.1.4. Simplex Inputs and Outputs

Each I/O module has connectors on the faceplate. For analog and discrete I/O, cables connect the module
to a Field Terminal module (FTM). The FTM is used to connect to the field wiring. For communication
modules, FTMs are not used. Cables are connected directly to the faceplate of the communications module.
The following diagram shows the flow of analog and discrete inputs from the field to the application.
Figure 2-2. Input Flow
Figure 2-3. Output Flow
2.1.5. Redundant Inputs and Outputs

Two levels of redundancy are available. The first involves wiring two external input devices to two separate
input channels. See Figure 2-3. In the event of a failed sensor or a failure in the connection from the sensor
to the control, a valid input is still available
Figure 2-4. Redundant Sensors
The second level is wiring two external input devices to two separate I/O modules. See Figure 2-4. In the
event of a failure in one of the sensors, connections, cables, FTMs, or I/ O modules, a valid input is still
available.
Woodward 14
Released
Figure 2-5. Redundant Inputs
This process can be expanded for triplicated inputs. With triplicated inputs, redundant inputs are available if
an input fails. It is also possible to determine which input is not valid when using triplicated inputs.
2.1.6. Redundant Outputs

Redundancy can be added to the outputs as well. Additional external relays can be used to prevent a
faulted output from affecting the external device. For discrete outputs, this would require four relays for each
output. For the actuator outputs, a dual coil actuator can be used. The dual coils will allow one coil to
operate the actuator in the event of a failure.
The value of redundancy is dependent on the ability of the application to detect the failure. For analog and
actuator outputs, current and/or voltage read back is provided. For discrete outputs, fault detection requires
sensing the relay contact state.
2.2. MicroNet Plus Redundant Operation

To use the MicroNet Plus for redundant operation, a CPU must be in the first VME slot (slot A1) and a CPU
must be in the last VME slot (slot A14). In the GAP application select the MICRONET14 or MICRONET8
chassis type and place a MicroNet Plus compatible CPU module in both A1 and A14 / A8 slots.
Start-up
• Load and start the application on each CPU using AppManager.
• If the CPUs are started within 20 seconds of each other they will boot in the “Redundant” mode.
• If the CPUs are not started within 20 seconds of each other the first CPU started will become the
master and the second CPU will have to re-sync to the running CPU.
• If the applications are not the same and both CPUs are started together, CPU1 (located in slot A1) will
be the SYSCON and the backup CPU will be failed.
Normal Operation (Redundant)

• Normally the CPUs will be powered up together and will start running the application within the 20
second window.
• The first CPU to start running the application will remove the WATCHDOG (as indicated by the red
LED on the CPU) and become the SYSCON (as indicated by the green LED on the CPU).
• When the second CPU starts running the application the SYSCON control will go to CPU1 (located in
slot A1).
• Both CPUs will establish communication and CPU2 will temporarily become SYSCON (as indicated by
the green LED on the CPU) to do a diagnostic test to ensure it can drive the VME bus.
• This diagnostic test will switch the SYSCON between both CPU1 and CPU2 three times before
proceeding.
Woodward 15
Released

After this diagnostics test is completed, the CPUs will determine if the GAP application on both CPUs is the
same.
• If they have the EXACT same application CPU1 (located in slot A1) will be SYSCON and initialize the
I/O.
• CPU2 will wait at a rendezvous point for the SYSCON CPU to be ready.
• When the SYSCON CPU is ready it will turn out IO_LOCK (as indicated by the LED on the CPU) and
start running the GAP application.
• After the SYSCON starts running the real-time code, the CPUs will start sharing data.
• If the SYSCON CPU fails, the Backup CPU will take over running the GAP application and the I/O.
• If the CPUs do not have the same application, CPU1 (located in slot A1) will become the SYSCON and
start up in the SIMPLEX mode (see section Only One CPU) with the Backup failed flag set to TRUE.
(see picture of CHAS_STAT block)
Single CPU operation (Simplex)

• If only one CPU is started (or the second CPU is started 20 seconds after the first CPU) this CPU will
start up in the SIMPLEX mode.
• When this occurs the CPU (in A1 or A14) will remove the WATCHDOG then wait 20 seconds for the
second CPU then continue with normal SYSCON start-up of initializing the I/O and running the real-
time application.
• When the 2nd CPU is started, it will determine the other CPU is running and ask the SYSCON to allow
it to sync-in.
• The SYSCON CPU will communicate with the BACKUP and if the BACKUP has the EXACT same
application and is functioning properly, the SYSCON will allow the BACKUP CPU to sync.
• If the BACKUP syncs in correctly, the backup fault indication in the GAP will go FALSE
(see Figure 2-9).
2.3. MicroNet Plus Simplex

The MicroNet Controls family is developed around the VME chassis and a CPU module that goes into the
first active slot of the VME chassis. All I/O modules plug into the remaining slots of the VME chassis.

2.4. MicroNet Plus Simplex Operation

To use the MicroNet Plus for simplex operation, the CPU must be in the first user slot (slot A1).
• In the GAP application, select the MICRONET14 or MICRONET8 chassis and use a CPU module in
slot A1.
• The CPU can only be the CPU5200/CPU5200L or CPU P1020.
• Assign communication and I/O modules according to your application needs.
• Compile and code your application using the Woodward GAP/Coder tools.
• Use the AppManager Service Tool to load and start the application over Ethernet.
• After starting the application, the CPU will initialize the I/O and run the real-time application.
• System initialization is complete when all the I/O module fault LED's are cleared.
Expansion Chassis Notes

The GAP application may also define expansion chassis by using the Remote Real Time Network (Remote
RTN) module in slot A1 of each expansion chassis.
Note: MicroNet Plus based systems require that the expansion chassis use the Remote RTN
module in slot A1. The CPU in the main chassis controls the expansion chassis through its
redundant RTN port connections to the Remote RTN module.
2.5. Module Replacement

Chapter 15 contains Installation and Replacement procedures for VME Modules, power supplies, relay
boxes, and other devices. Individual CPU and I/O module sections in Chapters 6 through 9 are an additional
reference for installation and replacement information.
Sections 5.2 and 5.4 contain additional details for power supply installation and replacement. Note that
power must be removed from the power supply input before a module is removed or inserted.
Live insertion and removal of the CPU5200, CPU P1020, and Remote
RTN modules is allowed in a MicroNet Plus chassis. These modules
should be reset immediately before removing them from the chassis.
RESET This notifies the module that it will be removed and provides a graceful
! MODULE failover to another healthy CPU or Remote RTN module if available.
BEFORE REMOVAL
2.6. Latent Fault Detection

Because a redundant system can tolerate some single faults, it is possible for a fault to go undetected.
Undetected faults are termed latent faults. If another fault occurs when a latent fault exists, the second fault
could cause a shutdown. It is important to detect a latent fault in a redundant system so that it may be
repaired before another fault occurs. Without a fully triplicated system it is not possible to detect all latent
faults, however most faults can be detected. For single or redundant I/O points, fault detection is dependent
on the application software to detect its I/O faults.

3.1.1. Specification
The MicroNet is designed around a modular 6-slot chassis (block). Each block consists of a pre-molded
cage with a fan for cooling and a temperature switch for high temperature detection. The chassis are
cooled by forced air, and either a module or a module blank must be installed in every slot to maintain
correct air flow. The fans run whenever power is applied to the system.
Woodward 21
Released

The MicroNet Plus chassis is composed of three blocks with a motherboard inserted in the back of the
assembly to make connections between the fans, switches, power supplies, and control modules. See
Figure 3-1. The modules use the VERSAmodule Eurocard (VME) bus standard for connector
specification and data transfer. Slot-to-slot logic and power connections are made through an etched-
circuit motherboard. I/O connections are made through cables from the front of the boards to terminal
blocks in the cabinet.
From a module connector standpoint, any I/O module can be installed in any of the slots designated for
I/O modules. However, when the application software is designed, each module will be assigned to a
specific slot and thereafter, the software will expect that specific I/O module to always be in its designated
slot.

4.1. MicroNet Plus Chassis Power Supplies

4.1.1. Module Description
The MicroNet Plus Simplex or Redundant controls may use either single or redundant power supplies.
Each power supply module produces three regulated outputs: 24 V @ 12 A (max), 5 V @ 32 A (max,
derated above 55 degree C external ambient temperature), and 5 V Pre-charge @ 3 A (max). A
motherboard located on the back of the chassis provides the interconnection of the three outputs from
each power supply module into three corresponding power busses: 24 V bus, 5 V bus, and 5 V pre-
charge bus. The 24 V and 5 V busses are load shared between the two power supply modules. The 5 V
pre-charge bus is not load shared. Power output regulation at the motherboard, including line, load, and
temperature effects, is less than ±10% for the 24 V bus, +/-5% for the 5 V bus, and +/-10% for the 5 V
Pre-charge bus. The 5 V and 5 V Pre-charge busses are not for external use. The 24 V bus is accessible
from the motherboard for external use (protected by 5 A fuses on the source and return lines).
When redundant power supplies are running, current sharing circuitry balances the load to reduce heat
and improve the reliability of the power supplies. In the event that on supply needs to be replaced, the
recommended method for changing Power Modules is with the power off (to the module being removed
and the module being inserted). The system will tolerate this “cold swap” method without failure.
Each main power supply has four LEDs to indicate power supply health (OK, Input Fault,
Overtemperature, and Power Supply Fault). See MicroNet Plus Power Supply Troubleshooting (Section
4.5) for a description of the LED indications.
Input power connections are made to the power supply through a plug/header assembly on the front of
the power supply.
For redundant operation, the control can use any combination of power supplies.
The power supplies can only be installed into slots PS1 (power supply #1) and PS2 (power supply #2). If
redundant power supplies are not needed, blanking plates must be installed in the slots not being used.
For MicroNet Plus Simplex installation instructions, see Chapter 15 (Installation).
The MicroNet Plus main power supplies must have the input power
removed before installing or removing.
This equipment is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B,
C, and D or non-hazardous locations only.
Wiring must be in accordance with Class I, Division 2 wiring methods
and in accordance with the authority having jurisdiction.

Input Power Wiring

A ground conductor connected to the chassis is required for safety. The power supply grounding
terminal(s) should also be connected to earth to ensure grounding of the power supply printed circuit
boards. The grounding conductor must be the same size as the main supply conductors.
Note that the control’s power supplies are not equipped with input
power switches. For this reason, some means of disconnecting
input power to each main power supply must be provided for
installation and servicing.
A circuit breaker meeting the above requirements or a separate

switch with appropriate ratings may be used for this purpose.
Label the circuit breaker and locate it in close proximity to the
equipment and within easy reach of the operator. To avoid
nuisance trips, use only time-delay fuses or circuit breakers.
Branch circuit fuses, circuit breakers, and wiring must meet appropriate codes and authorities having
jurisdiction for the specific country (CE, UL, etc.). See Table 4-1 for maximum recommended fuse or
breaker ratings. Do not connect more than one main power supply to any one fuse or circuit breaker. Use
only the wire sizes specified in Table 4-4 which meet local code requirements. Time delay fuses or circuit
breakers must be used to prevent nuisance trips.

Power requirements depend on the number and type of modules supplied for each system. For a system
with a single I/O chassis, size the input power source according to the rating of the MicroNet Plus power
supply to which the source is connected. Do not size the supply mains for the sum of the MicroNet Plus
power supply ratings when redundant supplies are used. MicroNet Plus supplies are redundant when
installed in the same chassis. Redundant supplies share the load between them equally, but each must
provide for full load in the event that one of the units is disabled. Table 4-1 gives the maximum overload
protection for supply mains connected to any single or redundant pair of MicroNet Plus main power
supplies. It is not recommended that both MicroNet Plus main power supplies of a redundant pair be
connected to a single source, since failure of that source would disable the system.
Multiple chassis systems using MicroNet Plus power supplies may have power supplies of the same
model, but in different chassis, connected to the same source. In this case, each branch to a chassis
must have its own overcurrent protection sized according to Table 4-1, and the power source must be
sized for the sum of the branches.
Not all systems will require the full load capability of the MicroNet Plus power supply. If not otherwise
indicated on a cabinet system nameplate, either use the MicroNet power supply input ratings for sizing
the system’s source or consult Woodward for determining the minimum source requirements.
Table 4-1 provides each power supply’s holdup time specification, which is the time the supply will
continue to operate within specification after its input power is interrupted. This information may be useful
in specifying uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems.

When a cabinet is not supplied with the system, input power connections are made through a plug/header
assembly on the front of each main power supply. The plug accept wires from 0.5 to 16 mm² (20–6
AWG). For a good connection, the inserted wires should have the insulation stripped back 11-12 mm
(0.45 in). Torque to 0.5 to 0.6 N m (0.37 to 0.44 lb-ft).
A green/yellow wire connection of at least the same size as the supply wire must be used for the PE

If at any time during this procedure the defined or expected result is not achieved, begin system
troubleshooting.
1. Verify that the entire MicroNet Plus control system has been installed.
2. Turn on the power to one power supply and verify that the power supply’s green LED is the only
power supply LED on.

4. Toggle the CPU’s RESET switch. The CPU’s red Fault and Watchdog LEDs should turn off, and the
green RUN LED should go on. At this time, the CPU is performing the self-diagnostic and boot-up
processes. When the CPU has completed its diagnostic tests, all red LEDs on the CPU module or I/O
modules should be off, and the control will begin running the application program.
4.1.3. Power Supply Troubleshooting

System diagnostic routines continuously monitor each main power supply for proper operation. If a fault
condition is detected, the fault is annunciated. If necessary, use the power supply’s front panel LEDs to
assist in diagnosing any related problems. If all supply LEDs are off (not illuminated), it is probable that
input power is not present, and verification should be made.
Power Supply LED Descriptions

OK LED—This green LED turns on to indicate that the power supply is operating and that no faults are
present.
INPUT FAULT LED—This red LED turns on to indicate that the input voltage is either above or below the
specified input range. If this LED is on, check the input voltage, and correct the problem. Long-term
operation with incorrect input voltages may permanently damage the power supply. Once the input
voltage is within the supply’s input specifications, this LED will turn off. Refer to the power supply input
specifications.
OVERTEMPERATURE LED—This red LED gives an early warning of a thermal shutdown. The LED
turns on to indicate that the internal power supply temperature has exceeded approximately 95 °C. If the
internal supply temperature rises to approximately 100 °C, the supply may shut down. Because of the
many variables involved (ambient temperature, load, thermal conductivity variations), there is no accurate
way of predicting the time between the indication of overtemperature (LED illuminated) and power supply
shutdown.
If this LED is turned on, verify that the fans in the power supply chassis are turning and free of dust and
other obstructions, and that the temperature around the power supply is less than 55 °C. If the power
supply is cooled down without delay, it can recover from this situation without shutting down. This LED
will turn off once the internal power supply heatsink temperature falls below approximately 90 °C.
POWER SUPPLY FAULT LED—This red LED turns on when one of the supply’s three power converters
has shut down or one or more of the supply levels is below internally specified levels. If this LED is on,
check for a short circuit on external devices connected to the control’s power supply. When the short
circuit has been removed, the supply will resume normal operation (Note that if the 24 V or 5 V outputs
are shorted, these power converters will be latched OFF and can only be cleared by removing the shorted
condition and removing the input power for 1 minute (or until the front panel LED’s extinguish)). If no short
circuit is found, reset the supply by removing input power for one minute. If the power supply is still not
functioning after input power has been restored, verify that the supply is properly seated to the
motherboard connector. If the supply is properly seated but is not working, then replace the supply.
Simplex Power Supply Checks

The following is a troubleshooting guide for checking areas which may present difficulties. If these checks
are made prior to contacting Woodward for technical assistance, system problems can be more quickly
and accurately assessed.
• Is the input power within the range of the control’s power supply input?
• Is the input power free of switching noise or transient spikes?
• Is the power circuit dedicated to the governor only?
• Are the control’s supplies indicating that they are OK?
• Are the control’s supplies outputting the correct voltage?
• Is the CPU Low Vcc LED ON?

5.1. Network Topologies

The information that follows pertains to both CPU P1020 and CPU5200.
5.1.1. Network Topology:

As a rule, the MicroNet CPU should not be directly connected to a workstation with a Teamed network
setup. A Teamed network, directly connected to MicroNet CPU appears to enhance communication
instability with some common industrial protocols. The following discusses a simple Teamed NIC setup
and offers an alternative topology.
Figure 5-1. Simple Teamed NIC Setup
The teamed workstation has a single IP address. NIC A and NIC B are the teamed adaptors sharing a
single IP address. Each NIC has a unique MAC address. There is a connection between the two networks
that allows the teaming software to know that the NIC connections are alive and handle the routing.
5.1.2. Suggested Topology:

Remove the network team from the computer. A backup IP address could be a assigned to the second
NIC and configured through the server interfaces (MBE server for Modbus TCP). Removing the team will
remove the two MAC addresses associated with a single IP address and force an assigning of an IP
address per NIC.

Note: A teamed network can be a part of an industrial control system and play an important part in load
balancing and failover as a complete system. However, NO DIRECT CONNECTION to a MicroNet Plus
CPU by a teamed NIC IP address should be part of the network configuration. The workstation with un-
teamed NIC would become the connection to the MicroNet CPU for the Modbus data as well as the OPC
data. Other computers on the network can access this data through DCOM (in the case of OPC) or

general use Ethernet ports (2x 1000Mbps, 2x 100 Mbps), (2) Real Time Network ports, (1) one service
port, and (5) CAN ports.
The CPU_P1020 Module can operate in both simplex and redundant modes. Every MicroNet Plus
simplex control contains one CPU module located in the first I/O slot of the MicroNet chassis. A redundant
configuration will also have a CPU located in the CPU2 location (slot 8 or slot 14 depending on which
chassis is used).
This module was designed and rated for 0° to +55 °C operation in the industrial marketplace.
For CPU module installation and replacement instructions, see the instructions for installing and replacing
the VME module in Chapter 15, Installation and Service, and Section 9.4.3—Installation.
Live insertion and removal of this module is allowed in a MicroNet

Plus chassis. This module should be reset immediately before
removing it from the chassis. This notifies the module that it will be
RESET removed and provides a graceful failover to another healthy CPU
! MODULE module if available.
BEFORE REMOVAL
The CPU module runs the GAP application program. Figure 5-2 is a block diagram of a CPU module.
When the power is applied, the CPU module will perform diagnostic tests, before running the application

CPU1 and CPU2 Remote Reset. Each CPU module will respond to a +24 V remote reset signal. The
chassis provides a terminal-block with inputs RST1+, RST1–, RST2+, and RST2– for wiring the remote

that requires a +24 V signal to cause a reset.
Reset Notes:
• Any System running with one healthy CPU. Reset detection will also drive IOLOCK and IORESET to
place the Control System, its expansion racks, and all output signals into a known failsafe condition.
• Redundant Systems running with two healthy CPU's. Reset detection on the SYSCON (System

There are two 10/100 plus two 1000 BaseT Ethernet Ports (RJ45) available to the application software.
These ports are full duplex, auto switching, and do not require the use of an Ethernet shield box.
GbE1 and GBE2 may be configured as general purpose Ethernet ports

as desired
ENET1 and ENET2 are prevented (via firewall) from use with SSH
enable applications – AppManager, SOS.
Max cable length is 30 meters. Double shielded, Cat 5-e cables (SSTP)
are required for customer installations. Ensure that cables have strain
relief and do not apply any forces to the connectors.
5.2.7. RTN Ports

Two Real Time Network ports (RJ45) are available to provide communications between the main chassis
CPU's and any Remote RTN modules located in an expansion chassis. The GAP software application
defines the expansion racks, their I/O modules, and the use of these RTN ports (GAP block is RTN).
For redundant systems, up to (2) Remote RTN modules may be installed into each expansion chassis.
When initialized by the main chassis CPU, the Remote RTN modules will acquire either a SYSCON or
STANDBY status. The Remote RTN module that becomes SYSCON will control the expansion chassis it
is located in. It will synchronize with the STANDBY Remote RTN module and perform any redundancy
functions as necessary. Input and output data from all I/O modules will be managed appropriately and
made available to the GAP Application running in the main-chassis CPUs.
• Double shielded, Cat 5 Ethernet cables (sSTP) are required for

customer installations.
• Cable length between the Main rack and RTN switch is 3 m (10 ft.)
max.
• Cable length between the RTN switch and Expansion rack is 30 m
(100 ft.) max.
Ensure that cables have strain relief and do not apply any forces to the
connectors.

The MicroNet Remote Real Time Network (RTN) module is designed to be located in an expansion rack.
The module’s primary function is to gather data from local I/O modules and communicate this data to the
main rack CPUs while providing redundant failover control of the rack in which it is located.
The Remote RTN module contains a Motorola MPC5200 processor, 128 MB DDR RAM, 64 MB of flash
memory, a Real Time clock, and various communication peripherals. These peripherals include (2) Real
Time Network ports and (1) service port. This module includes an FPGA to provide VMEbus master/slave
capability, health monitoring, and failover functions necessary for redundant systems.
Remote RTN modules can support both simplex and redundant systems. Every RTN expansion chassis
contains one Remote RTN module located in the first slot (CPU1) of the MicroNet chassis. A redundant
configuration will also have a Remote RTN module located in the CPU2 location (slot 8 or slot 14
depending on the chassis used).
This module was designed and rated for –40 to +85 °C operation in the industrial marketplace.
For Remote RTN module installation and replacement instructions, see the instructions for installing and
replacing the VME module in Chapter 15, Installation and Service, and Section 9.4.3—Installation. This
module will NOT automatically re-initialize to a running state after reset, but the main-chassis CPU
application can re-init this module upon request.
Live insertion and removal of this module is allowed in a MicroNet

Front Panel Reset Switch
The Remote RTN module incorporates a pushbutton reset switch on the front panel to reset the module.
This module will NOT automatically re-initialize to a running state after reset. The main-chassis CPU
application can re-init this module upon request.
RTN1 and RTN2 Remote Reset

Each Remote RTN module will respond to a +24 V remote reset signal. The chassis provides a terminal-
block with inputs RST1+, RST1-, RST2+, and RST2- for wiring the remote reset signals to each RTN.
Each reset signal is routed to an opto-isolated input on the appropriate RTN that requires a +24 V signal
to cause a reset.

light RED.
• Any Expansion chassis running with one healthy RTN. Reset detection will also drive IOLOCK and
IORESET to place the expansion rack and all output signals into a known failsafe condition.
• Any Expansion chassis running with two healthy RTNs. Reset detection on the SYSCON (System
Controller) causes an immediate "Failover" to the other STANDBY RTN who then becomes the new
System Controller for this chassis. Reset detection on the STANDBY unit causes a HealthFault that
removes it from STANDBY mode.

6.1.8. RS-232 Service Port

An isolated RS-232 service port is located on the front of the Remote RTN module. This port is for
VxWorks operating system use only and cannot be configured for application software use. The
communication settings are fixed at 38.4 kBd, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop-bit, and no flow control.
For debug use, a null-modem cable and 5450-1065 Serial Adapter cable (PS2M to DB9F) is required to
attach this port to a PC. This port is to be used by trained Field Service personnel only!
Shielded cable is required when connecting to the Remote RTN module’s serial port. Using shielded

6.2.2. Installation
The modules slide into card guides in the control's chassis and plug into the motherboard. The modules
are held in place by two screws, one at the top and one at the bottom of the front panel. Also at the top
and bottom of the module are two handles which, when toggled (pushed outward), move the modules out
just far enough for the boards to disengage the motherboard connectors.
Termination
For RS-422, termination should be located at the receiver when one or more transmitters are connected
to a single receiver. When a single transmitter is connected to one or more receivers, termination should
be at the receiver farthest from the transmitter. Figure 6-12 is an example.
Figure 6-12. RS-422 Terminator Locations
For RS-485, termination should be at each end of the cable. If termination can't be located at the end of a
cable, put it as close as possible to the ends. Figure 6-13 is an example.
Figure 6-13. RS-485 Terminator Locations
Woodward 69
Released

Termination is accomplished using a three-resistor voltage divider between a positive voltage and ground.
The impedance of the resistor network should be equal to the characteristic impedance of the cable. This
is usually about 100 to 120 Ω. The purpose is to maintain a voltage level between the two differential lines
so that the receiver will be in a stable condition. The differential voltage can range between -6 V and 6 V;
the maximum voltage between either receiver input and circuit ground must be less than ±25 V. There is
one termination resistor network for each port located on the SIO board. Connection to this resistor
network is made through the 9-pin connectors on pins 6 and 9. See Figure 6-14 for termination and cable
connection examples.
Figure 6-14. Termination and Cable Connection Examples
6.2.3. Grounding and Shielding

The RS-422 and RS-485 specifications state that a ground wire is needed if there is no other ground path
between units. The preferred method to do this is to include a separate wire in the cable that connects the
circuit grounds together. Connect the shield to earth ground at one point only. The alternate way is to
connect all circuit grounds to the shield, and then connect the shield to earth ground at one point only. If
the latter method is used, and there are non-isolated nodes on the party line, connect the shield to ground
at a non-isolated node, not an isolated node. Figures 6-15 and 6-16 illustrate these cabling approaches.
Non-isolated nodes may not have a signal ground available. If a signal

ground is not available, use the alternate wiring scheme in Figure 6-15
with the signal ground connection removed on those nodes only.

6.2.4. Troubleshooting
Each MicroNet SIO Smart Plus module has a red Fault LED that is turned on when the system is reset.
During initialization of a module, which occurs after every CPU reset, the CPU turns the Fault LED on.
The CPU then tests each module using diagnostic routines built into the software. If the diagnostic test is
not passed, the LED remains on or blinks. If the test, initialization is successful and application has
started, the red LED goes off and green RUN LED is turned on.
If the Fault LED on a module is illuminated after the initialization process passed, the module may be
faulty or may be located in the wrong slot.

Troubleshooting Guide
If during normal control operation, SIO module has Fault LEDs on, check the chassis’ CPU module for a
failure. If during normal control operation only the SIO module’s Fault LED is on or flashing, insure that it
is installed in the correct slot or if it is installed correctly. If it is, then replace that module. See instructions
for replacement in Chapter 15, Installation (System Level Installation). When a module fault is detected all
SIO Ports are blocked.
1. If the SIO module is not functioning or not functioning properly, verify the cable connections.
2. If the cable connections are verified and module is still not functioning check if SIO module is properly
connected in chassis.
3. If the module is still not functioning properly after verifying the cable connections, replace the cables
connecting to module.
4. If the module is still not functioning properly after replacing cables, replace the module.

Discrete I/O Modules
7.1. Introduction
There are five types of discrete I/O modules currently available with the MicroNet system. These include
two types of 48/24 Discrete Combo module (48 discrete inputs, 24 discrete outputs), 48Ch DI module,
32Ch DO module, and the 64Ch DO module.
Discrete I/O field wiring requirement are detailed in Chapters 13 and 15.
Unshielded field I/O cables may only be used inside the cabinet or for cabling that is restricted to very
short distances near the cabinet. Also short, on engine, sections of Discrete Input (DI) & Output (DO)
wires/cabling may be used from the engine junction box were they are restricted to be on the
engine/turbine. In addition, coil or wetting voltage commons, as applicable, must be routed with the field
I/O wire bundles inside the shielding. Shielding may be electrically continuous metal conduit, cable armor,
or completely enclosed metal cable ways, as well as shielded cable, as long as the items listed are
grounded only to the cabinet housing the MicroNet system and are electrically continuous between the
field termination and cabinet.
Routing coil and wetting voltage common wires with signal wires and shielding of DI/DO field wires are
required due to the possibility of large transients from load dump of high-current inductive loads and
indirect lightning strike currents flowing in Protective Earth (PE) ground. If wires are routed separately
from commons and are not shielded, transients that are large enough will be coupled into the input or
output wiring and cause state changes to the signals for a short time.

Discrete Inputs
Each MicroNet Discrete I/O Smart-Plus module accepts 48 contact inputs. The 48/24 Discrete FTM may
supply contact wetting voltage. Optionally, an external 18–32 Vdc power source. If the 24 Vdc internal
power source is used for contact wetting, a jumper is required between FTM terminals 98 and 99. If an
external power source is used for contact wetting, the external source common must be connected to the
FTM’s discrete input common, terminal 49. The FTM provides a common cage-clamp terminal connection
for customer field wiring. Figure 7-4 illustrates different discrete input wiring configurations based on the
input voltage.
Figure 7-4. Discrete Input Interface Wiring to a 24 Vdc 48/24 Discrete FTM
• Refer to Chapter 13 for Discrete Input wiring.
• Each MicroNet Discrete I/O Smart-Plus module can only accept one input voltage range, 24 Vdc
(LVD and UL).
• All contact inputs accept dry contacts.
• 24 Vdc FTM only—If the internal 24 Vdc is used, a jumper must be added to tie the internal 24 Vdc
to the bussed power terminal blocks (see Figure 7-4).
• 24 Vdc FTM only—If an external 24 Vdc is used, the common for the external 24 Vdc must be tied to
the discrete input common (see Figure 7-4). Power for contacts must be supplied by the control’s
power supplies, or the external power supply outputs must be rated to Class II at 30 Vdc or less and
outputs must be fused with appropriately sized fuses (a maximum current rating of 100 ÷ V, where V
is the supply’s rated voltage or 5 A, whichever is less).
Discrete Outputs
For the 48/24 Discrete Combo FTM configuration, there are three types of relay output boxes that can be
used. These consist of the 16Ch Relay (Phoenix) Module, 16Ch Relay Module, and the 32Ch Relay
Module (see Chapter 13 for a description of the available modules). The relay modules connect to the
48/24 Discrete FTM through individual cables and provide a common cage-clamp terminal connection for
customer field wiring. The discrete outputs on the 48/24 Discrete I/O module are non-isolated; the
isolation takes place in the relay boxes.
Discrete outputs 9, 10, 11, 12, 21, 22, 23, and 24, drive two relays per output (see Table 7-1). Internal
wiring on the 48/24 Discrete I/O FTM provides this dual relay functionality. The application software may
use these relays for outputs where extra relay contacts are needed, such as alarm or shutdown outputs.

Configuration Note
Verify that each set of relay contacts meets the power requirements of the circuit with which it is being

Discrete Inputs
If a discrete input is not functioning properly, verify the following:
1. Measure the input voltage on the terminal block. It should be in the range of 16–32 Vdc for the low
voltage FTM.
2. Check the wiring. If the inputs are reading open, look for a loose connection on the terminal blocks,
disconnected or misconnected cables, or a missing jumper on the terminal block.
3. Check the application software configuration to ensure that the input is configured properly.
4. After verifying all of the above, exchange the J1 and J2 cables. If the problem moves to a different
channel, replace the cable. If not, replace the 48/24 Discrete Combo module.

If a discrete output is not functioning properly, verify the following:
1. Check the wiring for a loose connection on the terminal blocks, or disconnected or misconnected

7.3. 48 Channel Discrete Input Module

Each 48 Channel Discrete Input (48Ch DI) Module is connected through two low density discrete cables
to two separate FTMs. There are two types of FTMs available for use with the 48Ch DI Module; the 24
Vdc Discrete Input/Output FTM and the Discrete Input (With LEDs) FTM (see Chapter 13 for additional
information on this FTM module). The 24 Vdc Discrete Input/Output FTM doesn’t have LEDs and the
Discrete Input (with LEDs) FTM has LEDs. All I/Os on the module are accessible on the FTMs, and the
channels are labeled sequentially to correspond to their software locations (for example, discrete input 1
on the FTM will be discrete input 1 in the application software).
Figure 7-11. Discrete Input Module
This module receives discrete signals from 48 separate switches or relay contacts, and sends this data to
the CPU. The inputs are optically isolated from the balance of the MicroNet control circuitry. The module
system provides isolated +24 Vdc power for these external contacts on the 24 Vdc Discrete Input/Output
FTM. The Discrete Input (With LEDs) FTM requires an external contact wetting power supply.
There are no potentiometers for tuning and requires no calibration. A module may be replaced with
another 48Ch DI Module of the same part number without any adjustment.

Fault Detection (Module Hardware)
Each 48Ch DI module has a red Fault LED that is turned on when the system is reset. During initialization
of a 48Ch DI module, which occurs after every CPU module reset, the CPU turns the Fault LED on. The
CPU module via the VME bus turns off the Fault LED when the CPU has started execution of the
application program and verified that the board is present.

Figure 7-15 is a block diagram of the Discrete Input module. The module receives information from as
many as 48 field switches and relays. Field wiring is isolated from the MicroNet circuitry by optical
isolators in each channel; the state of each discrete input is passed through an optoisolator to the buffers.
The CPU then obtains the data for each channel through the VME interface.
If during normal control operation all of a chassis’ 48 DI modules have Fault LEDs on, check the chassis’
CPU module for a failure.
If a discrete input is not functioning properly, verify the following:

1. Measure the input voltage on the terminal block of the FTM. It should be in the range of 16–32 Vdc.
2. Check the wiring. If the inputs are reading open, look for a loose connection on the terminal blocks,

Analog I/O Modules
8.1. Introduction
This chapter contains information on those modules that are classified as analog I/O modules. There are
two types of analog I/O modules. There are the single function type modules and the combination
modules. The combination modules consist of more than one type of input or output. The single type
modules consist of a single type of I/O, such as all 4-20 mA inputs.
8.2. Combination I/O Modules

There are four Analog Combination I/O modules available from Woodward. These are described in
sections 8.3 through 8.6 and 8.28
8.3. Speed Sensor Smart-Plus Module

The Speed Sensor Smart-Plus module is a MicroNet Plus module that will allow the customer to access
information about the module during operation via AppManager.

This module has four speed inputs that are factory configured as either MPU or Eddy inputs. The
configuration of MPU and Eddy inputs is dependent on the module item number.
These modules have no potentiometers and require no calibration. A module may be replaced with
another module of the same part number without any adjustment.

8.3.2. Installation
In a simplex system, each 4Ch Speed Module is connected through one low Density analog cable to one
Analog Input FTM. All of the I/O are accessible on the FTM.
Each of the module’s four speed channels accept either a passive magnetic pickup unit (MPU) or Eddy
probe. The number of MPU and Eddy inputs per module is determined by software configuration set at
the factory.
The item number of the module determines if the speed input is configured to MPU or Eddy input. Each
speed input channel can only accept one MPU or one Eddy probe. See Appendix A for module item
numbers.
A Eddy probe may be used to sense very low speeds. With a Eddy probe, speed can be sensed down to
1 Hz. See Figure 8-2 for MPU and Eddy probe wiring examples.
It is not recommended that gears mounted on an auxiliary shaft

coupled to the rotor be used to sense speed. Auxiliary shafts tend
to turn more slowly than the rotor (reducing speed sensing
resolution) and have coupling gear backlash, resulting in less than
optimum speed control. For safety purposes, it is also not
recommended that the speed sensing device sense speed from a
gear coupled to a mechanical drive side of a system’s rotor
coupling.

Speed ranges are selected from the GAP and the signal is pre-scaled accordingly. The pre-scaled signal
then goes to a counter where the period of the signal is measured. The Digital Signal Processor samples
the counter's values every 100 microseconds and performs a divide to generate a digital speed signal.
Every 100 microseconds a digital-filter algorithm is executed to average the speed values in order to
improve speed-sensor resolution at input frequencies greater than 200 Hz. This digital filter also provides
a derivative output.
Once every rate time (5-200 ms typically), the latest speed and derivative information is moved to the
Dual-Port RAM for access by the CPU module.

During initialization, which occurs after every reset, the CPU turns the FAULT LEDs on. The CPU then
tests each I/O module using diagnostic routines built into software. If the diagnostic test is not passed, the
LED remains on. If the test and initialization are successful, the LED goes off and green RUN LED is
turned on.

The CPU also tells this module in which rate group each channel is to run, as well as special information.
At run time, the CPU then periodically broadcasts a "key" to all I/O cards, telling them which rate groups
are to be updated at that time. Through this initialization/key broadcast system, each I/O module handles
its own rate-group scheduling with minimal CPU intervention.
MPUs
If a magnetic pickup input is not functioning properly, verify the following:
1. Check that the cable is shielded and the shield is properly grounded per the Shields and Grounding
section in Chapter 15, Installation.
2. Measure the input voltage on the terminal block. It should be in the range of 1-25 VRMS.
3. Verify that the signal waveform is clean and void of double zero crossings.
4. Verify that no ground connection exists and that the resulting 60 Hz signal is absent.
5. Measure the frequency. It should be in the range of 50 Hz - 25 kHz.
6. Check the wiring. Look for a loose connection at the terminal blocks and disconnected or
misconnected cables.
7. Check the software configuration to ensure that the input is configured properly.
8. If the readings are incorrect on several channels of the module, replace the Speed module.
9. If replacing the module does not fix the problem, replace the FTM. See instructions for replacing the
FTM in Chapter 15, Installation. The FTM does not contain any active components on the MPU
inputs, so replacing it should be the last option.
Eddy Probes
If an eddy probe input is not functioning properly, verify the following:
2. Measure the input voltage on the terminal block. It should be in the range of 7 - 24 V-peak.
5. Measure the frequency. It should be in the range of 1 Hz to 25 kHz.
6. Check the wiring. Look for a loose connection at the terminal blocks, disconnected or misconnected

The 24/8 Analog Smart Plus module is a MicroNet Plus module that will allow the customer to access

A 24/8 Analog Smart Plus module contains circuitry for twenty-four analog inputs and eight 4-20 mA
outputs. These modules have no potentiometers and require no calibration. A module may be replaced

The 24/8 Analog Smart Plus Modules come in three different configurations.
Twenty-four channels of 4-20 mA or 0-5V inputs (GAP selectable) with eight channels of 4-20 mA outputs
(2-pole 10 ms filter on all input channels, except channels 23 and 24, which have 2-pole 5 ms filter).
Note: When changing a GAP selectable input type the application must be saved and an application
restart is required. This allows both the hardware and software to initialize to the new input "type" setting.
Twenty-four channels of 4-20 mA inputs with eight channels of 4-20 mA outputs (2-pole 10 ms filter on all
input channels, except channels 23 and 24, which have 2-pole 5 ms filter). 24 channels of 0-5Vdc inputs,
with eight channels of 4-20 mA outputs (2-pole 10 ms filter on all input channels, except channels 23 and
24, which have 2-pole 5 ms filter).
All 4-20 mA analog inputs may be used with two-wire ungrounded (loop powered) transducers or isolated
(self-powered) transducers. All analog inputs have 200 Vdc of common mode rejection. If interfacing to a
non-isolated device, which may have the potential of reaching over 200 Vdc with respect to the control’s
common, the use of a loop isolator is recommended to break any return current paths producing
erroneous readings.
Each board has an on-board processor for automatic calibration of the I/O channels. Each analog input
incorporates a time-stamping feature with 5 ms resolution for two low set points and two high set points.

Figure 8-6. Simplex System Configuration Example
Analog Inputs
For a 4–20 mA input signal, the 24/8 Analog Module uses a 200 ohm resistor across the input located on
the 24/8 Analog Module. Each analog input channel may power its own 4–20 mA transducer. See Figure
8-3 for analog input connection. This power is protected with a 100 mA fuse on each channel located at
the FTM to prevent an inadvertent short from damaging the module. The 24 Vdc outputs are capable of
providing 24 Vdc with ±10% regulation. Power connections can be made through terminals located on the
24/8 Analog FTMs. See Chapter 13 for complete field wiring information for the 24/8 Analog FTM.
Maximum loop power current is 0.32A per 12 inputs located on the

same FTM.
When configuring the AI Combo block in GAP, set Conf. input field to
0 for all inputs working in 1-5V voltage mode. This will disconnect
input 200ohms sense resistor and allow the block to use the module
factory voltage calibration values.
When configuring the AI Combo block in GAP, set Conf. input field to 1
for all inputs working in 4-20mA current mode. This will allow the block
to use the module factory calibration values for inputs that were
calibrated with 200 ohm internal resistors on the 24/8 Analog Module.
When configuring the AI Combo block in GAP, set Conf. input field to 2
for all 4-20 mA inputs when used with the Dataforth current input plug-
in module. This will allow the block to use the module factory voltage
calibration values with a gain factor for a 200 ohm external resistor on
the Dataforth FTM.
Woodward 98
Released
Input type configuration is factory set for backward compatible part

numbers.
For modules with GAP selectable inputs, when changing the Conf.
input field to a new value an application save and application restart is
required before the module can be used. This save and restart allows
the hardware and software to be properly initialized together.

Analog Outputs
There are 8 analog output channels of 4–20 mA with a full scale range of 0-25 mA. All Analog Outputs

connection. Each output monitors the output source and return current for fault detection. All of the analog
outputs may be individually disabled. When a channel fault or a module fault is detected, the application
program may annunciate the fault, disable the channel and stop using data in system calculations or
control. Care should be taken to prevent ground loops and other faults when interfacing to non-isolated

8.5. Speed/Analog IO Combo Smart-Plus Module

The Speed /Analog IO Combo Smart-Plus module is a MicroNet Plus module that will allow the customer
to access information about the module during operation via AppManager.

This module has four speed inputs that are configurable in GAP application as either MPU, Prox or Eddy
inputs.
The module contains circuitry for twelve analog inputs and four 4-20 mA outputs.
Analog inputs are configurable in GAP application as either 0-5Vdc voltage mode or 4-20mA current
mode. All inputs have 2-pole 10ms filter, except channels 11 and 12, which have 2-pole 5ms filter.
Note: When changing a GAP selectable input type the application must be saved and an application
restart is required. This allows both the hardware and software to initialize to the new input "type"
setting.
All 4-20 mA analog inputs may be used with two-wire ungrounded (loop powered) transducers or isolated
(self-powered) transducers. All analog inputs have 200 Vdc of common mode rejection. If interfacing to a
non-isolated device, which may have the potential of reaching over 200 Vdc with respect to the control’s
common, the use of a loop isolator is recommended to break any return current paths producing
erroneous readings.
Each board has an on-board processor for automatic calibration of the I/O channels. Each analog input
incorporates a time-stamping feature with 5 ms resolution for two low set points and two high set points.
These modules have no potentiometers and require no calibration. A module may be replaced with
another module of the same part number without any adjustment.

Figure 8-9. Speed/Analog IO Combo Smart-Plus Module
8.5.3. Installation
In a simplex system, each Speed/Analog IO Combo Smart-Plus Module is connected through one Low
Density Analog Cable to one Analog Input FTM and one High Density Analog Cable to one 24/8 Analog
FTM.
All of the I/O are accessible on the FTM and the channels are labeled to correspond to their software
locations (e.g., analog input 1 on the FTM will be analog input 1 in the application software). See Figure
8-10 for an example.

Released
Figure 8-10. Simplex System Configuration Example.
Speed Inputs
Each of the module’s four speed channels accept either a passive magnetic pickup unit (MPU), Prox or
Eddy probe. The number of MPU, Prox and Eddy inputs per module is determined by GAP software.
Prox or Eddy probes may be used to sense very low speeds. With a Prox probe, speed can be sensed
down to 0.04 Hz. See Figure 8-11 for MPU and Prox probe wiring examples. Unused inputs should be set
to MPU2K mode and jumpered at the FTM.
It is not recommended that gears mounted on an auxiliary shaft

coupled to the rotor be used to sense speed. Auxiliary shafts tend to
turn more slowly than the rotor (reducing speed sensing resolution)
and have coupling gear backlash, resulting in less than optimum
speed control. For safety purposes, it is also not recommended that
the speed sensing device sense speed from a gear coupled to a
mechanical drive side of a system’s rotor coupling.
When configuring the AI_SS block in GAP, set PROBE_TYPE input

field to:
0 - for all inputs working in MPU2K mode
1 - for all inputs working in MPU10K mode
2 - for all inputs working in PROX mode
3 - for all inputs working in Eddy mode
This will allow the input to correctly sense the output signal from
specified probe type.

connection on pin 37 of the FTM.
See Appendix A for part number Cross Reference for modules, FTMs, and cables.
Figure 8-11. MPU and Prox Probe Interface Wiring
Analog Inputs
For a 4–20 mA input signal, the Speed/Analog IO Combo Smart-Plus Module uses a 200 ohm resistor
across the input located onboard the module. Each analog input channel may power its own 4–20 mA
transducer.
See Figure 8-12 for analog input connection. This power is protected with a 100 mA fuse on each channel
located at the FTM to prevent an inadvertent short from damaging the module. The 24 Vdc outputs are
capable of providing 24 Vdc with ±10% regulation. Power connections can be made through terminals
located on the 24/8 Analog FTMs. See Chapter 13 for complete field wiring information for the 24/8
Analog FTM.
Maximum loop power current is 0.32A per 12 inputs located on the

same FTM.
0 for all inputs working in 1-5V voltage mode. This will disconnect
input 200ohms sense resistor and allow the block to use the module
factory voltage calibration values.
1 for all inputs working in 4-20mA current mode. This will allow the
block to use the module factory calibration values for inputs that were
calibrated with 200 ohm internal resistors on the 24/8 Analog Module.

resistor on the Dataforth FTM.
For modules with GAP selectable inputs, when changing the Conf.
input field to a new value an application save and application
restart is required before the module can be used. This save and
restart allows the hardware and software to be properly initialized
together.
Figure 8-12. Analog Input Wiring for a 24/8 Analog FTM
Analog Outputs
There are four analog output channels of 4–20 mA with a full scale range of 0-25 mA. All Analog Outputs
can drive a maximum load of 600 ohms (load + wire resistance). See Figure 8-13 for analog output
connection. Each output monitors the output source and return current for fault detection. All of the analog
outputs may be individually disabled. When a channel fault or a module fault is detected, the application
program may annunciate the fault, disable the channel, and stop using data in system calculations or
control. Care should be taken to prevent ground loops and other faults when interfacing to non-isolated
devices. See Chapter 13 for complete field wiring information for the Analog High Density FTM.

Figure 8-13. Analog Output Wiring for a 24/8 Analog FTM
Speed ranges are selected from the GAP and the signal is pre-scaled accordingly. The pre-scaled signal
then goes to a counter where the period of the signal is measured. The Digital Signal Processor samples
the counter's values every 100 microseconds and performs a divide to generate a digital speed signal.
Every 100 microseconds a digital-filter algorithm is executed to average the speed values in order to
improve speed-sensor resolution at input frequencies greater than 200 Hz. This digital filter also provides
a derivative output.
Once every rate time (5-200 ms typically), the latest speed and derivative information is moved to the
Dual-Port RAM for access by the CPU module.

During initialization, which occurs after every reset, the CPU turns the FAULT LEDs on. The CPU then
tests each I/O module using diagnostic routines built into software. If the diagnostic test is not passed, the
LED remains on. If the test and initialization are successful, the LED goes off and green RUN LED is
turned on.

In addition to detecting the Speed/Analog IO Combo Smart-Plus Module hardware faults, the application
software may detect I/O faults.
Analog Input Faults: The application software may be set with a high and low latch set point to detect
input faults.
Analog Output Driver Faults: The module monitors the source and return currents and annunciates faults.
The application software determines the course of action in the event of a fault.
fault.
The CPU also tells this module in which rate group each channel is to run, as well as special information.
At run time, the CPU then periodically broadcasts a "key" to all I/O cards, telling them which rate groups
are to be updated at that time. Through this initialization/key broadcast system, each I/O module handles
its own rate-group scheduling with minimal CPU intervention.
If during normal control operation, all of the modules have Fault LEDs on, check the chassis’ CPU module
for a failure.
If during normal control operation only the Speed/Analog IO Combo Smart-Plus module’s Fault LED is on
or flashing, insure that it is installed in the correct slot. If it is, then replace that module. See instructions
for replacement in Chapter 15, Installation (System Level Installation). When a module fault is detected,
its outputs will be disabled or de-energized.

If a magnetic pickup input is not functioning properly, verify the following:
2. Measure the input voltage on the terminal block. It should be in the range of 1-25 VRMS.
5. Measure the frequency. It should be in the range of 50 Hz - 25 kHz.
