SYSTEMSESD5550/5570 SERIES SPEED CONTROL UNIT INTRODUCTION The ESDS550/5570 Series speed contol unit's an all elec: tronic device designed to control engine speed wih fast anc precise response fo transient load changes. Ths closed loop Control, whenconnected toa proportional electricactuator an supplied with a magnatic spaced sansor signal, will contral 2 ‘wide vavioly of engines in an iscchronous or droop mods. tie designed for high reliability and bult ruggedly to withstand the engine environment. Simplicty of instataton and adustment was foremost in the dosign. Non-interacting performance controls alow near opti mum response to be easily obtained, ‘The primary features of the ESD5550/5570 Series speed control unit are the engine STARTING FUEL and SPEED RAMPING adjustments, The use of these features will mini mize engine exhaust smoke experionced prior to attaining ‘engine operating speec. Otter features include adjustable droop and idle operation, Inputs for accessories used in mult-engine or special applica. tions, protection against revorso batiory voltage, transiont voltages, accidental short citcut of the actuator and fal safe asign n the event of loss of speed sensor signal oF battery suopyy. ‘The ESD5550/8570 Series speed contol unit is compatible with all GAC proportional actuators except the ACB2O00 electic actuator. When the ESD5550/5570 Series speed ‘control unitisused wit a ADC100 Sexes electric actuator, the DROOP adjustment’ range will be less due fo this actuator's low current demand, DESCRIPTION Engine speed information for he speed contol unt is usually ecelved trom a magnatic speed sensor, Any other signal generating davice may be used provided the Generated tre: quency is proportional to engne speed and maets the voltage input and fraquoney tango specticatan, The speed sensor is. typically mountedia cose proximity toar engine driven ferrous ‘gear, usually he enginering geet. Asihe teeth ofthe gearpass the magnetic sensor, a signal Is generated which Is propor- tional to engine speed. Signal strength mustbe within the range of the Input emplifor ‘Ar amplitude of 0 to 120 volts FMS is required to allow the Unit fo function within its design specttications. The spees signal is appledto Terminals C and Dot he speed control writ, Between thase terminals there san input impedance ol over 22,000 ohms. Terminal Dis internally connected ta Terminal E, battery negative. Only oneerd of the shielded cable should be connected, When a speed sensor signalis received by the controller. the signal is amplified and shaped by an internal circu to provide ‘an analog spoed signal. If tho speed soncor monitor doos not detect @ speed sensor signal, the oulput circuit o! the speed ‘control unit wil 1um off all current to the actuator. A summing crcuit receives the speed sensor signal along with the speod adjust sot pomnt input. Tho speed range has a ratio of8:1 andis adjusted with a 25 turn potentiometer. The outaut from the summing cult is the input to the dynamic contro) PTI 1003 PRODUCT TECHNICAL INFORMATION May i959 pc section ofthe speed control unit, The dynamic control circuit, fof which the gain ard stabilty adjustments are part, nas @ ‘control iunotion that wil provide lsochroncus and stable per formance for most engine types and tuel systems, The speed contro! unit ctcut is influenced by the gain and stabiity pertermance adjustments, The governer sysiam son- sitivity is increased with clockwise rolation of the gain adjust ment The gain adjustment has a ange of 83:1, The stability agustirent, when advanced ciockwise, incweeses the time Tale of response of the governor system to match the various lime constants of e wale varity of engines. The speed control Unit a P| D device. the “D". derivative partion can be varied when required. (See Instability section.) During ihe engine cranking cycle, STARTING FUEL can be agjusted from an almost dosed, to a neatly ful tual postion Once the engine has started, the speed control point is dotomined. frst by the IDLE spoed set point ard the SPEED FAMPING ‘circuit. After engine speed ramping has been Completed, the engine will beat itsgoveined operating speed. At the desired governed engine speed, the actuator vill be energized with suiticent current to maintain the desired en- tine speed, independent of load (isochronous operation), The outoui circuit provides switching current at a frequency of about 500 Hz. 10 drive the actuator. Since the switching frequency is wel beyond the natural frequency ofthe actuator. there isino visib'e metion of the actuetor output shaft, Switsh- ing the output transistors reduces its internal power dissipavon fot elficient power control.

Dioop governing can be salocted by connecting terminals K end L and the percent of droop governing can be varied withthe croop adjustment control.

Protection against reverse battery voltage and transient voltages is provided, The dasign is fal-safe in the event of loss of speed sensor signal or battery supply ‘The ESD55505570 Series speed contol unit includes a single element speed switch. It provides a convenient means Of Sensing an overspeed condition and activating an intemal relay This relay may be used to shutoff the luel or ignition to provide safe engine shut down.
