1. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
1.1 Introduction
The Digital Governor System (DGS-8800e) is a complete package which fulfills all
tasks for governing the speed of low-speed, long-stroke diesel engine of the Sulzer
RTA type manufactured by Wärtsila NSD and their licencees. The speed setting may
be from three different systems, usually the remote control system (AutoChief 4 or
AutoChief 7), local control panel, and control room back-up panel (optional).
The system may be fitted to both fixed pitch and controllable pitch propeller systems
(FPP and CPP systems). The system responds to slow-down and shut-down signals
from external safety systems. Fuel-saving features, such as load limiting functions, are
included.
The DGS 8800e performs computerized handling of all measurements and control
signals. It includes panel push-button flexibility to select, adjust, and test the system
performance. Movement of the fuel rack is done by an electric actuator, with a 3 phase
brushless servomotor as the power medium.
The main purpose of the DGS 8800e system is to control the position of the engine fuel
servo, in order to maintain an engine speed equal to a reference setting. The system is
composed of two separate and self-contained subsystems, the speed Regulating
Function, and the fuel Actuator Function.
The speed pick-up sensors are of an inductive type, mounted towards engine gearwheel
inside the main engine. They are completely duplicated for increased system reliability.
Engine charge air pressure is measured to be able to limit the fuel injection according to
charge air pressure value.
For CCP systems, the pitch value is input to compensate for loading conditions.
The speed reference input to the system may be one of three, selectable either from the
remote control system (from bridge or control room), the local control panel, or the
control room back-up panel.
The DSU (Digital Servo Unit) which is supplied from the AC mains, supplies the DGS
8800e system with 24V DC.
The ELACT (Electric Actuator) is supplied by a 3 phase AC main power supply

through a TRAFO 001 (transformer) and the DSU with power and servo amplifier. The
Actuator Feedback Transducer is a high resolution absolute encoder with contactless
displacement to improve system reliability.

1.1.1 Regulator functions
The main purposes are:
· Speed reference computation.

· Speed measurement and filtering.
· Output and limit the command signal to the fuel actuating function.
In addition, the Regulating Function has several sub-functions, such as:
· Displaying data values.

· Programming user-dependent parameters.
· On-line testing.
· Off-line testing.
· Selection of alternative mode operations.
1.1.2 Actuator Function
The main purposes are:
· Sense the actuator position command from the Regulator.

· Positioning the actuator (and fuel-rack) according to commanded value.
In addition, the Actuating Function contains several secondary functions:
· Limiting speed of fuel-rack.

· Output for fuel-rack (actuator) indication (option).
· Displaying data values.
· Repeatedly testing of System failures.

AA-0061-B/16-Feb-98 7
1.2.4 Electric actuator, ELACT 001

The actuator system comprises a brushless servomotor type Parvex LS 620 EL, with a
reduction gear type Cyclo FABS 25/89. The servomotor is electro-mechanical and
contains no electronic components. It has ball bearings which are lubricated for life. The
system is certified for protection degree IP65, precision class N and insulation class F.
The servomotor is controlled by servo amplifier Parvex SBS 15/30A. The servomotor
has a built-in brake which activates if a failure such as system failure or power failure
occurs, and will keep the fuel rack at the current position, i.e. fail-safe condition, as the
engine will continue to run at it's previous speed. A thermal protection device is also
included in the servo motor. The fuel index (or actuator position) is measured with an
absolute encoder, mounted directly on the servomotor. The fuel actuator is to be
mounted and connected the fuelrack of the main engine in accordance with drawings
issued by Wärtsila NSD.

1.4 Mode selections

The descriptions given in the following paragraphs are valid both for Regulator and
Actuator parts. The actual system mode is shown on the upper left indicator panel on
front of DGU.
1.4.1 NORMAL mode

This mode indicates normal running mode of the system. The transfer to this mode is
done automatically by the maneuvering handle. All adjustments of system parameters
is allowed also saving (kept after powering down) is done. Monitoring of all system
data values may be done by appropriate parameter number (refer commissioning
parameter list).
1.4.2 IDLE mode

This mode is automatically selected after powering up system. In this condition, the
actual real time processing of governor is not critical. The ultimate condition to stay in
this mode, is for the that STOP is ordered (zero fuel order signal is ON).
Reprogramming of parameter values can be done.
NOTE: Automatic transfer to Idle when system is in STOP status.
1.4.3 CONSTANT FUEL mode

This mode can be selected by pressing the pushbutton “CONST.FUEL” on the front
panel of the DGU. The intention with this function is to keep the fuel rack steady, the
objective is to save fuel. The functions allows a greater variation of engine speed, and
sets a larger deadband to the speed regulation. If the engine speed is outside the
“disengage high and low” deadband, the function will be disengaged, and the governor
will regulate the speed until it is inside the “engage high and low” deadband, as shown
in the below drawing:

AA-0061-B/16-Feb-98 11
1.4.4 ROUGH SEA mode

This mode can be selected by pressing the pushbutton “ROUGH SEA” on the front
panel of the DGU. In this mode, the regulator selects the Rough Sea gain-setting for PI
governor, and can also include the D-function (to make it a PID and not just a PI
regulator). These alternate values may be programmed to adapt more to a special sea-
going condition, such as ballasted vessel, or rough sea situations
1.4.5 SETPOINT mode

This mode can be selected by pressing the pushbutton “FUEL SETP.” on the front
panel of the DGU. Enabling of setpoint mode is possible to prevent with a parameter
setting. However, if the setpoint mode parameter is enabled, then setpoint mode can be
transferred from Normal or Idle mode. This is done by opening the Change Lock
switch to open position with the key and pushing the FUEL SETPOINT button on front
panel. Note, however, that this is meant to be a degraded operational mode, where the
command handle outputs a fuel-index command directly. This feature allows
emergency operation from a more comfortable place than local stand at the engine side.
When this function is in use, there will be a SYSTEM IN TEST alarm.
NOTE: This mode has two more parameters that must be adjusted to match "RPM
command" with "fuel index". Normal adjustment will be Dead Slow RPM
level to match 0% fuel index and Full Seaspeed to match 100% fuel index.
1.4.6 TEST mode

The Test mode may be initiated both from on-line (from Normal mode) or off-line
(from Idle mode). In this mode, the input values to the system can be set directly from
front panel. The system shall respond to these settings in same manner as original
values from input transducers. When this function is in use, there will be a SYSTEM
IN TEST alarm.
a) Transfer from Normal mode is done by selecting one of the buttons in Test area
of front panel: CMD, PITCH, or CHARGE.
NOTE: RPM button (measured RPM on engine) is not allowed, since one assume
running engine condition.
b) Transfer from Idle mode is done by selecting parameter no.1, and adjust data
value to 2. In this situation, also selection of RPM test button is allowed.
1.4.7 CALIBRATION mode

Calibration mode may be transferred from both Normal and Idle mode. In Normal,
running mode the CAL test button starts an overlaying RPM value to the real inputted
data. This "disturbance" value may be initiated in order to test governor response.
Transfer from Idle mode is done by selecting parameter no.1 equal to 3. In this
condition, an overlaying shifting signal adds to the value of chosen selection, either by
pushing CMD-, RPM-, or CHARGE buttons.

12 AA-0061-B/16-Feb-98
1.4.8 SELFTEST mode

The Selftest mode can only be initiated from Idle mode condition. In this mode, the
hardware memory of the computer is tested. Select parameter 1 and adjust data to 5
(light in indicator on panel). Then push the LAMP TEST button. The computer will
respond with an "UP" status, or an "ERROR" status. Refer to Trouble Shooting if
error status.

AA-0061-B/16-Feb-98 13
1.5 Programmable functions

The DGU regulating functions are to be set up with parameter values, in accordance
with each particular installation. The main programmable functions are:
a) Starting setpoints of fuel, and extension time after starting.
b) Acceleration limiting of speed commanding signal.
c) Critical speed-ranges.
d) Maximum limit of RPM command value.
e) Charge.air/index limiting characteristic.
f) Speed/index limiting characteristic. (Torque Limiter)
g) Zero-pitch/index limiting characteristic (only for CPP systems).
h) Maximum limit of index (actuator) position.
i) Regulator gain characteristics.
j) Error-band gain setting.
k) Command feed-forward influence in fuel setting.
l) Filtering of speed oscillation caused by engine firing action (Notch filter).
In addition the system includes secondary programmable functions, such as:
m) Numeric calibration of input data.
n) Activity level-definitions of all binary input signals.

1.7 Regulator main functions

The DGS 8800e system consists of two separate, and modular microprocessor
controlled sub-systems performing the following functions:
· RPM Regulating Function.
· Fuel Actuating Function.
A simplified block diagram of the DGS 8800e system is shown in Fig. 1.7.
Figure 1.7 DGU 8800e Block Diagram.

16 AA-0061-B/16-Feb-98
1.7.1 RPM Controller Function

The RPM reference values are automatically computed for all engine running
conditions, such as start/stop, slow-down, emergency run, and normal running. The
RPM measurements are converted from pulse frequency data to filtered, digital internal
values.
The difference between reference and measurement is processed to ensure the optimum
correction signal to the fuel setting, taking both the loading characteristics and running
RPM into account.
Maximum fuel is automatically limited according to tolerances given by speed and

charge air pressure.
The RPM Regulating Functions are shown in Fig. 1.8 and detailed in Fig. 1.9 to 1.13.
Figure 1.8 Governor functions.

AA-0061-B/16-Feb-98 17
1.7.2 RPM Command Function
· Commanding input signal either from remote control system, local control panel,
and control room back-up panel (optionally).
· The operator may reduce the maximum allowed speed by programming the
command Limiting Function.
· System control inputs automatically select "failure-mode" commanding reference,

such as slow-down or back-up RPM.
· Rate Limiting Function enables the operator to restrict engine acceleration or

retardation.
· Critical Speed Discrimination results in switch transfer of speed reference signal

through the barred range.
· Start - Stop Function automatically selects fuel-setting reference, with automatic

transfer to speed setting reference.
Figure 1.9 RPM Command Function.

18 AA-0061-B/16-Feb-98
1.7.3 RPM Measurement Function
· Pick-up pulses are converted to actual data value. The only scaling factor is the
number of teeths on the gearwheel (pulses generated for one revolution of the
engine).
· Channels A and B are tested for validity, with automatic selection of correct
channel.
· Automatic filtering of low-speed torsional vibratory noise measurement.
· High frequency filtering of speed measurement.
· Additional filtering and measured data to adapt to numeric display.

20 AA-0061-B/16-Feb-98
1.7.5 Fuel Limiting Function

· Limiting of fuel setting according to engine propeller load characteristic.
· Limiting of fuel setting according to charge air pressure curve.
· Low pitch fuel limiting, mainly to limit index when restart from Bridge control
(CPP-systems).
· Manual limiting to fix the absolute maximum allowed fuel setting.
· Selecting function, always to transmit the lowest of limited values.
· Non linear compensation due to actuator position.
· Non linear compensation due to fuel pump leaking when low engine speed
· Scaling function, to match the actuator input signal and fuel pump offset values.

2. SYSTEM OPERATION
2.1 Regulator Operator Panel
2.1.1 Panel Layout
The functional layout of DGU panel is shown in Fig. 2.1. The grouping of functions
are the same for the Regulator Part (left) and Actuator part (right). The following
paragraphs include more detailed description.
Note that the panel has a removable change lock key. The key has to be in the OPEN
position to be able to change the most critical system parameters. In addition, a special
"service code" must be set to ensure that only authorized personnel are able to modify
the system parameters.
Figure 2.1 Operator Panel

AA-0061-B/16-Feb-98 23
2.1.2 Regulator Indicator Lamps
Figure 2.2 Indicator lamps.
2.1.3 Regulator Mode Lamps

Indicate the main constraints under which the regulator function is operating.
NORMAL Normal regulating mode with real process input and output data
from engine. Selection of this mode is done automatically when
Cmd Handle is moved out of stop. Simulations of RPM command
and Scavenge air pressure is possible when Change Lock is in
Open position, also if engine is running. Simulation of Measured
RPM is not possible in this mode.
IDLE Idle mode is automatically selected when RPM command handle is

in stop position. All data is still monitored. The mode is now
possible to change to Test, Calibrate and Self test. This is done by
selecting parameter 1 (Mode select) and adjusting the data value to
different values. (Alarm indication "System in Test" will lit and
alarm is given to the alarm-central).
SETPOINT Direct Fuel Control mode, regardless of Measured RPM. This

mode is selected when the push-button "Fuel Setpoint" is pushed
and the Change Lock is in Open position. Use caution if this is
done while the engine is running. This mode is a bypass function
of the regulator and is normally only used to test the actuator
performance.
TEST Test mode is only selectable if command handle is in stop. System

may be set-up with all input data simulated, instead of real sensors.
CALIBRATE System may be set-up with special calibration signals or routines.

Calibrate will also lit up if the "CAL" button is activated.

24 AA-0061-B/16-Feb-98
SELF TEST Self testing of computer memory is activated by pushing LAMP

TEST. This will respond with "rEG-UP" if memory is ok or with
"Error" if there are any memory problems. Ref. Trouble Shooting,
chapter 3.
2.1.4 Regulator STATUS lamps

Indicate a running condition that restricts or reflects system performance.
REGULATOR ON System in running status. Regulation of fuel index on engine.
START Starting phase is activated. Fixed fuel in start position.
STOP System in "Engine-Stop" condition. Rpm Cmd setpoint is Zero.
RPM LIMIT ON RPM Command setting is restricted by a limiting condition, such

as manual limit setting, or a critical speed range (flashing).
FUEL LIMIT ON Regulating fuel output is restricted by automatic limiting causes,

such as manual limit setting, speed limiting, or scavenge air
limiting. Engine is not allowed to have more fuel.
OTHER "Other" will indirectly reflect a status that can be pin-pointed by

selecting appropriate parameter number for display (Parameter 9).
2.1.5 Regulator ALARM/WARNING lamps

Indicate the causes of any automatic locking of the system operation. Give
warnings about malfunctions.
LOW VOLTAGE Indicates too low voltage in one of 4 power systems: +5V,
+15V, -15V, +24V. Detailed information is given by LED
indicator on adaptor Card. Ref. trouble shooting, chapter 3.
RPM DETECT FAIL RPM detector (pick-up system) hardware failure. Detailed
information is given by LED indicator on adaptor cards and on
parameter 16. Ref. trouble shooting table, chapter 3.
IN-DATA ERROR Analog input signal failure on RPM Cmd Handle in Control-
room, RPM Cmd Handle on Bridge or scavenge air sensor on
engine Ref. trouble shooting.
OUT-DATA ERROR Communication failure between regulator card and actuator

card. Ref. trouble shooting.
SYSTEM IN TEST Indicates that system is in test or calibration mode.

AA-0061-B/16-Feb-98 25
OTHER "Other" will indirectly reflect 'old Alarms' that has disappeared
but is not reset by parameter 16 or 17.These two parameters will
indicate which alarms that was activated. Parameter 10 will
indicate "old-AL" if selected. Other Alarm will not give alarm
to alarm-central since the failure is no longer there.
2.2 Parameter and Data Areas

2.2.1 Parameter Up/Down
In the parameter area, a set of relevant parameters together with their identification
numbers, are listed. After selecting a number by using the up/down buttons in the
parameter area, a value will appear on the data display. Fig. 2.3
Figure 2.3 Regulator Parameter and Data Areas.

26 AA-0061-B/16-Feb-98
2.2.2 Data value Up/Down

Some data is Readable (like: RPM Command, Measured RPM, Charge air Pressure,,,)
and some data is Adjustable (like: RPM limiter level,Fuel limiter level, Deadband,,,).
The data value can be adjusted if the selected parameter is adjustable, this is achieved
by pressing the "UP" or "DOWN" button in the data value section. The adjusted value
will take effect immediately.
Adjustments is protected by the "Change Lock" and the "Service code", except
parameter 6,7,8,14,16 and 17 (ref. parameter list).
2.2.3 Change Lock

Some parameters and some push-button may be changed/pushed only when the
Commissioning Key is installed and turned to the "open" position.
2.2.4 Service code

Most critical parameters have additional safety locking by a "service code" that must be
set. This service code is a special parameter that has to be set to a special value. A
complete set of parameters is provided in the commissioning lists.
2.2.5 Save
Before powering off the 24 Volt, adjusted data can be saved by pressing the "SAVE"
button, when the Change Lock is in Open position. If save is not pressed after an
adjustment, the "old adjustments" will appear next time the power-supply has been off
and then on again.
2.3 Regulator Operating Buttons

How to change regulating function in running conditions. Each button has its own
on/off LED indicator. The indicator signal is feed back to the panel from the computer,
in response to button operation. The buttons are showed in Fig. 2.4.
Note that DEAD BAND and ROUGH SEA buttons may be selected with no restriction.
The FUEL SETPOINT button may be operated only when the key-lock is unlocked and
the function parameter is enabled.

AA-0061-B/16-Feb-98 27
2.3.1 Constant Fuel Mode Button

On: If LED on push button is lit then deadband is real (flat). The Constant Fuel Mode
function reduces the motions of the governor. When engine speed is within the
deadband limits, there is no movement of fuel rack. This function will cause
more variations and also a possible constant deviation on the engine speed.
Deadband value is adjustable on parameter no. 8 and is usually set to 2 RPM for
normal running at sea. This value can be increased for more stabile actuator.
However, special plant consideration may limit practical use of this function if
there is an shaft generator or similar equipment.
Off: If LED is not activated, the regulator will work with a reduced gain in the
deadband zone. The reduction is adjustable and called "Reduction Gain".
Reduction-factor of 5 means that the activity of actuator is reduced with 5 times.
A deadband value of 2 means  2 RPM.
2.3.2 Rough Sea Button

On: If led on the Rough Sea button is activated, the regulator selects the Rough Sea
gain-setting for PI governor. Ref. parameter list. In addition the regulator can
connect a Derivative function making the governor a PID regulator. The D-
function is selected on parameter 73 "D-gain On/Off". These alternate values may
be programmed to adapt more to a special sea-going condition, such as ballasted
vessel, or rough sea situations.
Off: If led on the Rough Sea button is not activated, the regulator selects the "normal"
PI governor settings.

28 AA-0061-B/16-Feb-98
2.3.3 Fuel Setpoint Button

This function is under the Change Lock, so the Key is necessary to activate this
function!
On: Transfer the system mode unconditionally to NORMAL and SETPOINT. In

setpoint mode, the fuel index is directly set by the Commanding RPM Handle.
Setting the RPM Cmd Handle to "Dead Slow" will give 0% fuel and "Full" will
give 100% fuel, independent of the engine speed. The scaling of this function can
be done at fuel setpoint parameters. The fuel limiters will still work so engine
will not be overloaded with fuel, but it may easily be over-speeded. (See also fuel
setpoint mode).
Off: Regulator in normal regulating mode.
Figure 2.4 Regulator Operation Buttons.
2.3.4 Regulator Test Buttons

The test buttons may be used in all system modes. Pressing one of the upper buttons
makes it possible to input a data value directly from the panel. The simulated input will
initially equal that of the transducer, then be increased or decreased by the (+) or (-)
button, respectively.
To direct the adjustment to only one of the signals given, the relevant button has to be
pressed for a short time. When the button lamp starts flashing, the adjustment of the
selected data is possible. A long press of the button resets the data to the original
source.
The adjustments are visual by selecting the appropriate parameter number. The RATE-
button allows the adjustment to be slow or fast.

AA-0061-B/16-Feb-98 29
The parameters to be simulated are:
CMD RPM Command input Parameter 2

RPM RPM Measured Parameter 3 (not in NORMAL mode)
CHARGE Charge Air Pressure Parameter 5
AIR
Figure 2.5 Regulator Test Buttons.
Note that the CAL. button may be used in normal running mode to add an artificial
square-wave noise in the RPM measurement. This is to be able to observe the
regulating action of the governor.

2.4 Actuator Operating Panel

2.4.1 Actuator Indicator Lamps
Figure 2.6 Actuator Indication lamps.
Any number of lamps may be lit at the same time. Operation of the lamps is as follows:
2.4.2 Actuator MODE lamps
NORMAL System in normal, regulating, mode with real process input and output
data.
IDLE System in a "ready-to-go" mode, doing all monitoring and transferring

of all input data.
TEST System test and simulation mode, that allows input data to be
simulated from operator panel instead of real sensor inputs.
CALIBRATE Not used in this version.
SELFTEST Self test of the microcomputer memory is activated by addressing

button RESET / LAMP TEST.
2.4.3 Actuator STATUS lamps
SERVO ON Servo operation is active.
MANUAL CONTR. Actuator may be manually positioned by operating (+) and (-)
test buttons.
EXTERNAL STOP The servo command input is forced to STOP by external

emergency-stop activation or Shut Down/Overspeed.
SERVO BLOCKED The actuator is blocked, caused by a fatal system error

condition.

AA-0061-B/16-Feb-98 31
OTHER Other system status is flagged. Selection of appropriate

parameter number gives additional information.
2.4.4 Actuator ALARM lamps
LOW VOLTAGE Indicates too low voltage in one or more of the 4 power
systems: +5V, +15V, -15V, +24V. Details are shown on LED
indicators on adaptor card.
FEEDBACK FAIL Feedback error caused by signal failure in actuator position

measuring.
IN-DATA ERROR Cluster of errors that may be detected by the input data self-test
routines. Error decoding is shown if selecting the appropriate
parameter number.
SERVO AMPL FAIL. Failure in the servo amplifier system (DSU, SBS, ABS or
actuator).
SYSTEM IN TEST System in test or calibration mode.
OTHER Other system alarm or warning is indicated. Selection of

appropriate parameter number gives additional information.

32 AA-0061-B/16-Feb-98
2.4.5 Actuator Parameter and Data Areas

In the parameter area a set of relevant parameters, together with their identification
numbers, are listed.
After selecting a number by using the up/down buttons in the parameter area, a value
will appear on the data display. Fig. 2.7 shows an example of having selected the
measured fuel output of the system, which displays a value of 50.0 pump index.
Figure 2.7 Actuator Parameter and Data Areas.
The fuel output is measured input signal to the system. In such a case, no new value
would appear in the data display if the operator tried the up/down buttons in the data
area. For this to happen, the selected parameter must be of an adjustable type, such as
no. 5.
The change key has to be in "unlocked" position to be able to change any parameter
value. Most critical parameters have an additional safety-lock, by means of a "service
code" to be set, having first selected the proper parameter number. A complete list of
parameters is provided in the commissioning lists.

AA-0061-B/16-Feb-98 33
2.4.6 Actuator Operating Buttons

Each button has its own on/off LED indicator. The indicator signal is fed back to the
panel from the computer, in response to button operation. The button functions are
described below:
ON Transfer the system to SERVO ON, or back to MANUAL CONTROL.

Transition
to IDLE is conditioned by Regulator system STOP status. The transfer to
NORMAL and ON is automatically done by commanding input controls from the
Maneuvering unit.
Figure 2.8 Actuator Operation Buttons.

34 AA-0061-B/16-Feb-98
2.4.7 Actuator Test Buttons

The test buttons may be operated under different system test modes:
IDLE mode by handle in stop, MANUAL CONTROL status by deactivating SERVO

ON button(toggle) and Change key set to OPEN by key, enables the (+), (-) and RATE
buttons to be used for direct up- and down positioning of Actuator.
Additional buttons functions are shortly described as follows:
TEST mode selected by parameter =1, value =2. (Only when handle is in stop). In
Test mode, the SET button enables test stimulant input to Actuator. The ON button
must also be set, in order to make the Actuator going.
Panel simulation of SET or FUEL. A flashing led in either SET or FUEL enable
simulation and changeable value by (+) or (-) buttons on that function. A constant on
led indicates simulated value. And a dark led indicats actual signal (not simulated).
RATE button. Selects the rate-of-change of simulated value, high or low.

(-) button. Decrements simulation data.
(+) button. Increments simulation data.
SET button. Selects the Actuator Position Setpoint signal either from panel simulation
or from Regulator output.
FUEL button. Selects the Actuator actual position to be simulated from test panel or
from feedback signal.
AUTO button. Not used.
CALIBRATE mode. The Calibrate function is not in use by El-Actuator.

2.5 Procedures
2.5.1 Power On
1. Ensure that AC mains is connected to the Digital Servo Unit (DSU), both 3 phase
AC voltage for servo motor and 1 phase AC voltage for control voltage.
2. Operate the DC Power-On circuit breakers inside the DGU 8800e.
3. "REG-UP" and "ELA-UP" should appear in data display. If power-up after

changing system memory, some time may elapse before display comes on.
If "Error" should appear in data display, or any alarm indication is given, refer to
chapter 3 and 4 for further information. Commissioning procedure is given in section
4.1.1.
NOTE: The DC power switch inside DGU-8800e may be used for system reset.
2.5.2 Power Off

Do not remove power, except in emergency or for servicing activities. If powering
down is necessary. If any parameters has been changed, and saving is preferred,
operate the SAVE button before removing power.
4. DC 24 V control voltage are switched off by operating the automatic circuit breaker
inside the DGU 8800e unit. Mains are switched off by operating the fuses for AC
mains control voltage (1 phase) and servo motor (3 phase) in the main switchboard.
2.5.3 Start Command

1. Select Regulator param.2 and Actuator param.3. (For information only)
2. Set the Maneuvering Handle on bridge or control room (depending on control

position) out of Stop position, or set the Control Room Back-up Switch to Start
position.
The NORMAL and START indicator of Regulator and the NORMAL and SERVO
ON of the Actuator is indicated.
Information of the starting setpoint of fuel-index will appear on the Regulator data
display. Likewise, the equivalent actuator position in fuel linkage position, will be
commanded for the servo motor to follow-up. When the RPM reaches a certain
level, the REGULATOR ON status will appear, and the command from handle,
shown in para. 2, will immediately be sensed as commanding speed.

36 AA-0061-B/16-Feb-98
2.5.4 Transfer Command between remote control and back-up control
1. Set the alternate command to the setting required. Regulator parameter 4 and 14
can be used to ensure a bumbles transfer. Select parameter 14 and set the Value
(RPM difference) to 1. Then select parameter 4 and move the back-up control dial
slowly until the Data Value shows approximately 0.
2. Select transfer of alternate command. Now the value shown in paramameter 2 is the
commanded value from alternate maneuver.
3. Place the unused Maneuvering handle in Stop position, if so desired.
2.5.5 Stop Command
1. Move the commanding handle to Stop position. If the Stop status indicator flashes,
this means that the handle has not reached the final STOP position, and must do so
before any restarts can be attempted.
2.5.6 Fuel Setpoint Emergency Control

This operation may be done during testing, or in an emergency situation, where fuel
index can be directly controlled by handle. Note that a function true/false parameter
and the scaling of handle-data must fit index values, for any practical use. Refer to Fuel
Setpoint adjustments in parameter-list.
1. Unlock the key switch CHANGE LOCK.
2. Press the Regulator FUEL SETPNT. push-button to be lit. Now, the "SETPOINT
and NORMAL" mode will be showed on Regulator Mode indication, and also
SYSTEM IN TEST on Alarm indication. This requires that the parameter for Fuel
setpoint function enabled is set to: true

regulator and actuator. The signal is going out of regulator on J6 in the center of
processor card. Then via a flatcable to the Asynchronous Data Buffer Card witch is
mounted directly on the actuator processor card plug J6. Verify that Actuator side is
working, by pushing parameter no "up/down". If it doesn't work, change Actuator
Processor card. If Actuator is working, change Data Buffer Card or flatcable.

3.4 Special Messages

Some special messages can appear in the display of the DGU. These messages will
appear without selecting any special parameter and these messages are.
3.4.1 " -- e r r o r "

Error on the display means memory fail on the Processor Card. The error messages can
appear in both the Regulator and the Actuator side and the problem must be solved at
the correct card. Regulator is the innermost card in the front door and Actuator is the
outermost and most easy to access.
A) " -- error1" or
" -- error2 " or
" -- error3 "
Fatal "RAM" (Random Access Memory) error. The IC (Integrated Circuit) must be
changed. This memory is located on Processor Card in position UD1 (ref. card
layout).
B) " -- error4 " or

" -- error5 ".
Serious problem with the "E2PROM" (Electric Erasable Programmable Read Only
Memory) and it must be changed. This memory is located on Processor Card in
position UD5 (ref. card layout).
This IC is where all the adjustments of parameters is saved. This memory-test is

activated at Power Up or (if system is in Stop Command) by selecting "Selftest" Mode
with parameter "1" set to value = 4 and pushing the "Lamp Test" button. If memory is
OK then the normal "-- rEG UP " or "ELA UP " message appears.
NOTE: If the E2PROM has been changed, all parameters valus must be re-
programed. Default values will be loaded.
C) " -- error6 " or

" -- error7 " or
" -- error ".
Minor problem with the "E2PROM" and it will normally be possible to run the system,
but the IC should be changed as soon as possible. This memory is located on Processor
Card in position UD5 (ref. card layout).

44 AA-0061-B/16-Feb-98
3.4.2 " -- l o a d "

Load indication on the display means E2PROM is being loaded from default data
values in the parameter list. The indication will disappear automatically when the
loading is completed. Loading is typical when powering up with a new E2PROM or a
newer EPROM program version. Normally there must be additional adjustments
according to the parameter-list.
3.4.3 " 88 888888 "

If "88 888888" appear on the display it can be "Freeze" or lamp test push button failure.
Ref. freeze problems or change front panel card.
3.4.4 Freeze
Special instructions are provided to prevent processor card form freezing (stopping).
However if cards and cables are connected or disconnected with the power on, freeze
and other damage may happen. Replace the processor cards. Check all screen
connections.
NOTE: Never connect or remove circuit boards or electric cables when power is on.
A) If " 88 888888 " appear on the display the Processor-Card has been exposed for
two much noise or for other reasons been interrupted so much, that the program-
counter has lost track of what to do. We say that the Processor-Card has "frozen".
This can be corrected by turning the Power Supply of for 5 sec. and then turning
it on again. The processor card must be changed or screening of cables must be
checked more closely.
B) Freeze can also happen without any indication on the display (it looks normal),
but the DGU does not respond to any push-buttons. The DGU will give alarm to
the alarm-central by the fail safe alarm relay controlled by a watch dog..
3.5 Actuator Unit

3.5.1 Unstable servo
If servo cylinder is unstable it can be caused by different matters.
a) Actuator P-gain parameter (ref. parameter-list) can be too high in value.

b) Regulator PI-gain too high.

an "Error" message or an Alarm indication, refer to the trouble shooting
chapter. The Regulator and Actuator System of the DGU are programmed for the
particular installation, and the required values are listed in the commissioning
lists. If program packages are replaced, initial values are set automatically when
powering up. The parameter values must be re-adjusted in accordance with the
commissioning list for the ship.

46 AA-0061-B/16-Feb-98

4.1.3 Actuator zero adjustment
a) Verify that actuator arm tolerances are according to Wärtsila NSD specification.
This is vital for the reliability of the clamp cone.
b) Clean the surface of the clamp cone, the actuator arm and the actuator axle from
grease and tectyl coating.
c) Set the cmd handle to stop and ensure that the actuator feedback signal show 0.0.
In case of actuator feedback offset, activate actuator parameter 18 (auto setting)
to compensate for “output offset”. Then the feedback (act.param.3) should be 0.0.
d) Make sure that the actuator rotates the correct way. Rotation is adjustable with the
Dip. switch setting. Ref. Appendix for Dip. switches and Fig. 4.1
e) Set the emergency stand to stop.
f) Assemble the actuator arm and clamp cone on the axle, tighten the bolts slightly,
then center the position of the actuator arm on the clamp cone.
g) Tighten the bolts diagonally. Use a torque wrench for correct torque ;
Tighten ELACT 001 to 38 Nm.
h) If oil is used to prevent the clamp cone to corrode or permanent fixation be sure to
not use grease, oil containing molybdenum sulfide or oil additives for high
pressure.

4.1.4 Fuel Output Signals (Option)

Two output channels (ch.3* and ch.4) may be used to measure fuel rack position. The
input for these channels are the actuator position. To conform either to the fuel pump
index-grading, or fuel setting in % of maximum the signal to the user may be
conditioned by ZERO and SPAN adjustments on adaptor cards. Ch 4 output signal may
be adjust by low count at zero and high count at full instrument value. Count
adjustment will affect ch 3 as well, if it is wired to ch 4. See parameter 45 and 46 on the
actuator.
*Note: Ch.3 require special back wiring (to ch 4).
1) Obtain a linearized curve of fuel pump index versus actuator position.
2) Set the actuator in TEST mode (par. 1 is set to value 2).
3) Activate the FUEL test-button, and simulate an actuator position with the PLUS
and MINUS buttons.
4) Read the actuator position on par. 3 in the data value display, while adjusting
ZERO and SPAN.
5) Repeat ZERO and SPAN trim until satisfied.
4.1.5 RPM detectors

For proper speed detection, correct alignment of the pick-up unit is necessary. The
DGS 8800e system requires two pick-ups sensors. There are no requirements to the
phase between DGS pickups. Make sure the cable connection is tight and water proof,
and that the RPM pick-ups (normally delivered by engine builder) are mounted in
accordance to instructions given by Wärtsila NSD. Signal checking may be done while
running with turning gear. The square wave signal should measure approxemately 4
Volt at low level and apprexemately 10 Volt at high level.
NOTE:
Before starting the engine, make sure Safety System is working properly.
Check shut down, overspeed and emergency stop function.
After this have been carried out, the engine should be ready to start from the governor.

AA-0061-B/16-Feb-98 49
4.2 Regulator parameter description.

4.2.1 Regulator parameter adjustments
The parameters in the regulator is grouped in 3 different OpCodes. See parameter list
about how to select the different OpCodes for DGU 8800e.
 OpCode 0 is for normal operation and readable parameters.
 OpCode 1 is for all function adjustments.
 OpCode 2 is for Input signal scaling and conditioning.
Parameter List and Function Diagram show the system limiting parameters. The
relevant commissioning list defines the value of the parameters to be set after a change
of program modules or re-initialization of system parameters. During dock or sea-
trials, the parameters are set by the commissioning engineer in co-operation with the
engine builder.
*DFEB* = DATA FROM ENGINE BUILDER.

i.e. - the parameter value must be given by the Engine Builder.
4.2.2 Regulator input signal adjustment

The configuration may vary from ship to ship, but exact configuration can be seen in
the connection diagram for each ship. Refer to wiring diagrams to see the exact
configuration.
4.2.3 Digital signals

This adjustment is protected under the service code. All ON/OFF signals can be
inverted. This is normally set up by the Norcontrol commissioning engineer or other
authorized personnel. If incorrect adjustment, fatal performance error may occure.
Adjustment is programmed in Regulator OpCode 2 and each channel can be set by the
"Or" parameter. Also on/off delay can be set. These parameters are showed in
Appendix C.
4.2.4 Analog signals

This adjustment is protected under the service code. Scaling values must be set in
accordance with the commissioning list. The range for input signals is 0 to 4095
counts. Some part of this signal is kept as a margin to detect missing or too big signal
(Indata Error). The input signal is normally adjusted to a range of 100 to 4000 counts.
Counts is a value converted to decimal number from the data pattern converted from the
Analog to Digital Converter (A/D), 1 count = 5 mV. Internal signal is ±10V. These
parameters are showed in Appendix D. See also parameter list OpCode 2.

50 AA-0061-B/16-Feb-98
4.2.5 OpCode 0 Parameters.

Rating.
With parameter 7 is possible to adjust the maximum fuel (in Linkage Position) for the
governor. This parameter will normally be adjusted to the speed corresponding to Max
Contineus Rating.
With parameter 8 is possible to adjust the deadband speed for the governor. Default is 2
rpm and that means  2 rpm relative to the cmd lever. This parameter value will
normally be increased (to 3-5rpm) if a more stabile fuelrack is wanted .

AA-0061-B/16-Feb-98 51
4.2.6 OpCode 1 Parameters.

The following is a description of adjustment by OpCode 1;
4.2.7 Engine Data.
OpCode 1 - Parameter 1 Engine Maker.
Two different makers can be selected. "SULZER" or "MAN B&W". This parameter
controls;
a. the I/O signal definition.
b. the running mode sequences (stop, start, run,,,).
c. the RPM Cmd select signals.
d. the Fuel Limiter curves.
OpCode 1 - Parameter 2-8 (engine data).
These parameters set the MAIN P-gain and the I-gain for the governor and is vital for
correct operation of the governor. These data must be given by the engine builder.
· Parameter 1.2 defines the number of teeth on the Gearwheel (numbers of pulses
received for one revolution). This generates the basis for RPM measurements and
must always be equal to actual number of teeth.
· Parameter 1.3 defines the number of cylinders. This value is used by the
governor to set delay estimate for P-Gain and is also used for Adaptive RPM
Filter.
· Parameter 1.4 defines the engine power in mega-watt (MW). MW is found from
1000 HP multiplied with 0.736. (E.g. 15 000 hp => 15*0.736 = 11.04 MW).
· Parameter 1.5 defines the RPM at MCR (Max. Continues Rating).
· Parameter 1.6 defines the total Inertia in Ton square-meters. (1000 Kgm2).
The purpose of the next parameters is to set a refrence base for automatic fuel limiter
function.
· Parameter 1.7 Pe, defines the Mean Cylinder Pressure at MCR. (Bar).
· Parameter 1.8 Psc, defines the Charge Air Pressure at Mcr. (Bar).

52 AA-0061-B/16-Feb-98
OpCode 1 - Parameter 9-11 (Scaling of fuel rack).
These parameters set the output stroke range for the actuator.
· Parameter 1.9* defines the Actuator stroke at Mcr.
· Parameter 1.10 defines the Fuel Pump Stroke at Mcr.
· Parameter 1.11 defines the Fuel Pump Offset.
Note: The governor needs two parameters in order to convert the actuator stroke
(default 100mm) into correct actuator angle and fuel command value. These are;
1.78 Actuator Arm (default 140mm) and 1.79 Actuator Gear Ratio. Value is 89
(default) for ELACT 001. These parameters must be set corresponding to actual
values. See the gear type and check the actuator arm on the engine.
Make Scale.
* Parameter 1.9 may be set by semi automatic operation if the actuator stroke is
unknown. The procedure to do so is;
a) While the rpm cmd handle is in stop and the main engine do not rotate. Turn the
Change Lock Key to Open. Then position the actuator by + or - button (or by manual
control) to Max. Pump index position. Check position at fuel pumps.
b) Set the Mcr. Pump Index parameter (1.10) to corresponding value.
c) Set the Enable scale parameter (1.80) to “EnA” (Enable new scale).
d) Set the Make scale parameter (1.81) to “Set” (Set new scale).
If the parameter 1.81 responds with “nEW Sc” (New Scale) and “Scale” the
operation was successful. Save the new values for Actuator stroke (1.9).
Figure 4.2 Actuator Arm.

AA-0061-B/16-Feb-98 53
The action of a “Make Scale” operation is.

a) Regulator checks that enable scale parameter (1.80) is enabled and that actuator is
positioned at more than 10% of normal stroke. If one of these two conditions is
not fulfilled the operation will be aborted and “disable” will appear in the make
scale parameter 1.81 for a few seconds.
b) Regulator will read actual actuator position counts from actuator.
c) Regulator will calculate the actuator stroke parameter 1.9 by use of the position
counts, the actuator arm parameter (1.79) and the gear ratio parameter (1.78).
e) Regulator will reset the make scale parameter (1.80) to “Sc diS” (Scale disable).
Parameter 1.81 will show “Set Sc” for a few seconds and if result was successful
it will show “new Sc” for some seconds and then go back to “ScALE.”.
Note. The regulator will not save these values automatically. Push save to keep the
values.
The action after a change in actuator stroke parameter 1.9 ( regardless if the change was
made from manual change or made from make scale function). A change in max.
pump index parameter (1.10) or a change in Offset Pump Index parameter (1.11) is.
a) Calculate scaling factors for converting regulator values 0-100% (0.58) to act mm
(0.61), pump index values(0.62), angles(0.63) and counts (0.64).
b) Calculate max. angle (0.65) and max. counts (0.66).
c) Calculate actuator help. (Scale factors and operating range for actuator).
No Actuator side may be selected to disregard the actuator help and use
te its own manual parameter settings.
A Calculates actuator max. operating range in counts sent by regulator.
Legal counts for normal operation.
B Dependent of Pump Index Scale parameter (1.82), calculates
actuator (parameter 2,3 & 4) display scale factor (0.BA) sent by
regulator for;
1) Pump Index Scale parameter 1.82 = False, 0-100 scale
2) Pump Index Scale parameter 1.82 = True, pump index scale.

54 AA-0061-B/16-Feb-98
4.2.8 RPM Cmd Limiting
Parameter 1.12, 1.13, "Normal Start Setpoint" & "Heavy Start Setpoint" *DFEB*
Start-setpoints define the initial fuel setting in Pump Index during engine startup.
"Heavy Start Setpoint" is automatically set during heavy start conditions
generated in the remote control system. The switches "emergency run" or "cancel
limiters" can also be used if these switches are connected. Start settings are in
Pump Index scale.
Note: If Non Linear compensation due to low rpm and the parameter for overriding
fuellimiters are both set to true, the pump index is increased while the engine is
eighter stopped or is running slower than the low rpm level. In this case the
fuelrack position will decrease to actual setting when engine rpm picks up. The
fuel injected at low speed is reduced (by the fuelpump itself) and is compensated
during start. (See non linear function for more details).

AA-0061-B/16-Feb-98 55
Parameter 1.14, "Fuel Start Extension Time"

Defines the prolongation of the fixed fuel after stop signal to fuel pumps is
released. Unit is seconds. If the speed of the engine is accelerating up to above the
setting of the cmd handle, the extension time is terminated and the governor start
to regulate immediately.
Parameter 1.15, "Speed Start Setpoint, Rpm level"
Defines the speed start setpoint. The regulator will hold this rpm level for the
delay time if a start is detected.
Parameter 1.16, "Speed Start Setpoint, Delay Time"
Defines the prolongation of the fixed rpm during a start. Unit is seconds. Default
is 6 sec. This rpm start setpoint will behave in the same way as the bridge control
system start setpoint also when governor is in control room mode. This start
setpoint will not and shall not work together with QPT function
Parameter 1.17, "Set Rpm Levels"
Upon activation of this parameter, these rpm parameters are set;
a) 0.06 Manual Rpm level is to 100% of mcr.
b) 1.18 Slow down is set to 60% of mcr.
c) 1.20 Rpm command rate filter change level is set to 75% of mcr.
d) 1.29 Max. speed at cancel limiters is set to 103.2% of mcr.
(The speed for 110% power on a propeller curve, is equal to 100%
plus
the square route of 10%).
e) 1.59 Fuel setpoint mode. Zero fuel, low rpm is set to 25% of mcr.
f) 1.60 Fuel setpoint mode. 100% fuel, high rpm is set to 95% of mcr.
The engine data parameters (1.01-1.11), must be set in advance. It is also
possible to set the rpm levels manually.
Parameter 1.61, "Set Fuel Limiters"
Upon activation of this parameter, values for; torque, scav. air and manual
limiters is set based on engine data parameters. The settings is according to
WNSCH specifications. The engine data parameters (1.01-1.11), must be set in
advance. It is also possible to set the fuel limiters manually.
Parameter 1.18, "Slow down" *DFEB*
Generates limitations in the RPM Cmd provided there is a slow down signal
coming from the Safety System. (Slow down is canceled by the shaft generator
function, if activated).
Parameter 1.19, "Fixed speed"
Set the speed level when the Ch. 27 Fixed Speed is activated. This cmd will
override the handle setting and the “Backup” mode when input is active. This

56 AA-0061-B/16-Feb-98
may be activated both for F-Reg and CPP systems. See also 1.AF Fixed speed
location.

AA-0061-B/16-Feb-98 57
Parameter 20-24, "RPM Command Acceleration Limiting"

Adjustments to prevent hazardous operation of the engine. Parameter 1.20
CHANGE LEVEL, divides the RPM range into an upper and lower level, each
with the possibility to limit the rate of speed command in positive and negative
directions. Ref. parameter list.
Parameter 25-28, "Critical RPM ranges" *DFEB*
The upper and lower values of the barred RPM CMD range are programmed.
Two ranges are possible to set. Note that the two ranges must not overlap.
Figure 4.3 Critical speed. Blocked areas.
Parameter 1.29, "Max. speed at cansel limiter”

This rpm level replaces the value of manual rpm limiter (in parameter 0.06) when
the cancel limiters is activated.

58 AA-0061-B/16-Feb-98
4.2.9 Measured RPM Filters
Parameter 1.30, "RPM Detector Warning Delay"

Alarm for pickup failure on one pickup can be delayed. False alarms may appear
due to heavy vibrations on the RPM pickup sensor brackets.
Parameter 1.31, "Max RPM Variation"

This filter shall stop false signals in measured RPM readings. The value is
normally from 5 to 40 (rpm/20 ms) (corresponding to 250-2000 RPM/sec).
Parameter 1.32, "Measured RPM Low-pass Filter"
This filter shall prevent high frequent noise in measured RPM readings. The
value is normally from 0.500 to 0.800 (corresponding to 30-90 ms filter delay).
The formula is t = -1 / (50ln(x)). e.g. par = 0.800, t = -1/(50ln(0.800) = 0.0896
sec.
Parameter 1.33, "RPM Low-pass Filter For Display"
This filter shall increase readability of RPM. Only active for display. The value
is adjustable from 0.00 to 0.99 (corresponding to 5ms.- 2sec. time constant).
Parameter 1.34-1.37, "Adaptive Filter"
Parameter 1.34 must be set to "notch" to enable this filter. The filter shall prevent
low speed engines with 4-5 cylinder to jiggle from speed variations due to
combustion. Filtering measured speed. The "Max RPM Filter" parameter 1.35 is
normally set to 50 RPM. The filter should not be connected if greater disturbance
is supplied from the sea or from other source. Automatically connection is
controlled by parameter 1.36 and disconnection by parameter 1.37.

AA-0061-B/16-Feb-98 59
4.2.10 Speed Controller Response

The parameter list shows the regulating response conditioning parameters. If the
regulator program is changed, the values to be set should correspond to the values in the
Parameter List. During commissioning, the values may be changed from the initial set-
up values.
Parameters from "Engine Data" defines the basic gain for the governor. However, it is
possible to modify the gain with some parameters. This must be tested on sea trial.
Parameter 1.40-1.43, "D-Gain"

When the parameter 1.40 “D-gain function on” is "True" and when Rough Sea
button is pushed on front panel or parameter 1.41 “D-Gain also in normal sea”
condition is “True”, the governor is operating as an PID governor in stead of a PI
governer. Parameter 1.43 “Rpm Filter for D-Gain” is limiting the peak values or
noice on the measured speed used for D-Gain. Increasing the filter value will
reduce the D-gain and may generate a phase delay causing oscillations, if the
value is too high. Decreasing the filter may stimulate noise to go through the D-
gain and give fuelrack kick. Parameter 1.43 “Gain”, set the D-gain value.
Increased value give more gain. Do not adjust higher than 1.0 unless this is tested
properly in very heavy sea. If a high value is set in D-Gain, the "Rough Sea P-
Gain" should be reduced accordingly to prevent a too high total loop gain whitch
may cause instability.
Parameter 1.44, "RPM CMD Forward Gain"
"RPM Cmd Forward Function" is to be adjusted to 1.0 for standard setting. For
reduction of gain, the fuel from the forward gain will be reduced. E.g. a value of
0.5 will give half the fuel that 1.0 will give. The resulting fuel on fuelrack will
not be any different, but the composition of PID + F will be different. If reduced
forward gain is used, the response to RPM command changes will be slower.
Parameter 1.45, "Reduction Gain In Deadband Zone".
When "Constant Fuel" push-button is OFF, the deadband zone has a reduced PI-
gain. The gain is divided by the factor in parameter 1.45. The deadband zone is
adjusted in parameter 0.08. If the "Constant Fuel" push-button is On, the
deadband is only valid as long as the Constant Fuel Function is "searching" and
the LED is flashing. See also the "Constant Fuel Mode".
NOTE: D-Gain function will stabilize speed, but increase activity on the fuel rack.
The regulating of speed due to "Propeller Load Variation", is limited due to
e.g. turbo stalling. This is an engine or turbo limitation and is not possible to
override by adjustments on regulator. Reduce RPM cmd in very Rough Sea!

60 AA-0061-B/16-Feb-98
Parameter 1.46 - 1.49. "PI-Gain"

There are two sets of P and I gain. One for "Normal Sea" condition and one
for "Rough Sea".
P-Gain means Proportional gain. A function that increases fuel instantly and
directly proportional to the "Rpm Deviation" ( Rpm Cmd - Rpm Measured).
Main setting of P-gain is done from the calculation of Engine Power, Speed
and Inertia Masses. The gain value is multiplied with parameter. E.g. a value
of 2.0 doubles the P-Gain while a value of 0.5 reduces the gain to half.
I-Gain means Integration time. A Function that increases the fuel gradually
and the increase speed depends on the Rpm Deviation. Main setting of I-gain is
done from the calculation of Engine Power, Speed and Inertia Masses. This
value is multiplied with I-Gain parameter. E.g. a value of 2.0 doubles the time
while a value of 0.5 halves the time.
Parameter 1.46 and 1.47, "PI-Gain when Rough Sea push-button is activated".
Parameter 1.46, rough sea P-Gain is normally set to 0.9, but must be seen in
conjunction with the D-Gain. If D-Gain is increased the P-Gain must be
decreased.
Parameter 1.47, the Rough Sea I-Gain is normally set to 3.0 for 3 times longer
integration time.
Parameter 1.48 and 1.49 is used when Rough Sea Button NOT is activated.
Normal P- and I-Gain is normally set to 1.0.
.
NOTE: By activating the CAL-button on the regulator test panel, abrupt changes in
RPM values are simulated. This allows the operator to look at speed
response while changing any parameter.
Parameter 1.50 and 1.52, "LDG, Load Dependent Gain"

Parameter 1.50 switches the LDG function on or off. Parameter 1.51 is an
adjustment to set up a correct load curve for LDG function. This offset shall
contain fuel pump offset plus load required to keep the engine running at
minimum speed. When the ship is running at a steady speed (minimum 5 minutes)
the adjustment can be checked. A readable value indicating "LDG correction
factor" in parameter 0.77 should obtain a value of 1.00. If parameter 0.51 factor is
too low adjust parameter 1.51 down. Parameter 1.52 is compensation gain. This
value can increase or decrease the compensation from LDG function. if gain is set
to 0.0 the compensation will be zero. Same as switching the function off. Gain
compensation is limited from 0.4 to 1.2 (40% to 120% gain comp.).

AA-0061-B/16-Feb-98 61
Parameter 1.53 - 1.57, "CPP settings"

Parameter 1.53 selects between FIX propeller and CPP system regulator. If set to
"CPP" the regulator will behave as a CPP system regulator and the following
parameters are active. Default is “F-rEG” indicating Fixed propeller system..
Parameter 1.54, Minimum Pitch value to be used for Integration gain
compensation and for Zero Pitch Fuel Limiter.
Parameter 1.55, Minimum Pitch value to be used for Pitch Forward gain.
Parameter 1.56, Zero Pitch Fuel Limiter must be adjusted to the level of fuel at
minimum pitch (value of parameter 54), the engine speed at mcr value and the
shaft generator (if any) to maximum load. However, never below start setting.
Backup mode, generated from ch 26. (Br. ctrl. power fail) and only possible to
activate in bridge control. Backup speed will be the current engine running speed.
Fixed speed mode, may override the backup mode is ch.27 (Fixed speed) is
activated. See parameter 1.29 for setting of fixed speed and parameter 1.AF for
control position.
NOTE:
Both “Backup mode” and “Fixed speed mode” will behave in the same way
regardless if it is a FIX propeller systems or a CPP systems.
4.2.11 Fuel Setpoint

Parameter 1.58 and 1.60, "Fuel Setpoint"
To be able to run in setpoint mode the setpoint function parameter 1.58 must be
set to true. If set to false, the fuel setpoint button will be disabled. Adjust the
parameter 1.59 ("Handle Zero Fuel" value) corresponding the dead slow rpm. and
parameter 1.60 ("Handle 100% Fuel value) corresponding to full sea speed.

62 AA-0061-B/16-Feb-98
4.2.12 Fuel Limiters

NOTE: The fuel limiters must be set according to engine builder specification.
The 100% fuel position is set by parameter 1.09 and 1.10. These two parameters scale
the output to actuator positioner. It is hovever possible to increse fuel above this point
by the cancel limiter switch. The engine data for mcr values shall not be increased even
if the fuel is to be increased above this settings. If CPP system, see also parameter 1.55
Zero Pitch Fuel Limiter.
Parameter 1.61, "Set Fuel Limiters"

Upon activation of this parameter, values for; torque, scav. air and manual
limiters is set based on engine data parameters. The settings is according to
WNSCH specifications. The engine data parameters (1.01-1.11), must be set in
advance. It is also possible to set the fuel limiters manually. Do not activate this
parameter if any of the fuelimiter values is set manually. They will be overwritten
by this parameter.
Parameter 1.62, "Raise Fuel Limiters"

Parameter 1.62. Raise Fuel Limiters will increase fuel limiters. When Cancel
Limiter signal is activated, the parameter 1.62 will set the value for lifting up the
fuel limiters. The Charge Air and Torque limiters are raised relative to the curves.
The manual fuel limiter is changed to 100% plus the increase value, regardless
what the manual setting parameter 0.06 is set to. It is possible to run 110% load,
only by activating the cancel limiter signal (the engine speed and scav.air pressure
has to be above restricted range in that case). Rpm will be raised by parameter
1.29.
For an SULZER RTA engine it is only allowed to run 110% load maximum
1 hour every 12 hours. Otherwise the engine may be damaged.
Parameter 1.63 to 1.69, "Torque Fuel Limit"

The "Torque Fuel Limiter" limits the fuel according to the measured RPM. This
limiter should be set according to engine manufacturer recommendations. The
lifetime of the engine may be reduced if this setting is changed.
Parameter 1.63-1.66 corresponds to 4 points on the RPM axis. Param.1.67-1.69
corresponds to the fuel in % of full MCR value. The slope start may generally be
set to 10% above the actual engine curve and matching at the top (100%).

AA-0061-B/16-Feb-98 63
Parameter 1.70 to 1.75, "Charge Air Fuel Limit"

The "Charge Air Fuel Limiter" limits the fuel according to the pressure measured
on the scav. air receiver. This limiter should be set according to engine
manufacturer recommendations. The lifetime of the engine may be reduced if
this setting is changed.
Parameter 1.70-1.72 corresponds to 3 points on the Charge Air Pressure axis (in
BAR). Parameter 1.73-1.75 corresponds to the fuel in % of full MCR value. The
limit curve may generally be set to 10% above the normal engine characteristic in
the lower part and matching at the top (100%).
4.2.13 Actuator type setting.

Parameter 1.76, "Actuator Info"
The actuator may show different regulator values. These values are selected by
the regulator parameter 1.76.
"Actuator Information"
Select regulator value by Op1 - par.76. Display value in Actuator par. 6

Parameter 1.77, "Actuator type"

Select actuator type between the following alternatives.
1. Pn SAA, Pneumatic Switch Air Actuator
2. ElAct, Electric actuator (Type 001, 002 or 003).

64 AA-0061-B/16-Feb-98
Parameter 1.78 - 1.83, "Electric Actuator"

Parameter 1.78 & 1.79. This two parameter set the stroke of the actuator and
should be set to exact actual values. See also "Engine Data" parameters.
Parameter 1.78. "ELECTRIC ACTUATOR ARM".
This parameter should be used with electric actuator only. The value should
indicate the length of the actuator arm.
Parameter 1.79. "ELECTRIC ACTUATOR GEAR RATIO".
This parameter should be used to set the gear ratio of the electric actuator. The
gear ratio is 89:1 for ELACT 001 and 59:1 for ELACT 002/003. The value
programmed in this parameter should be 89 or 59.
Parameter 1.80. "Enable New Scale".
This parameter must be set to “Sc EnA” (Scale Enable) to make a new scale and
actuator position measurement.
Parameter 1.81. "Make New Scale".
The action of a “Make Scale” operation is. a) Regulator checks that enable scale
parameter (1.80) is enabled and that actuator is positioned at more than 10% of
normal stroke. If either of these conditions are not fulfilled the operation will be
aborted and “disable” will appear in the make scale parameter 1.81 for a few
seconds. b) Regulator will read actual actuator position counts from actuator. c)
Regulator will calculate the actuator stroke parameter 1.9 by use of the position
counts, the actuator arm parameter (1.79) and the gear ratio parameter (1.78). e)
Regulator will reset the make scale parameter (1.80) to “Sc diS” (Scale disable).
Parameter 1.81 will show “Set Sc” for a few seconds and if result was successful
it will show “new Sc” for a few seconds and then go back to “ScALE.” on. The
regulator will not save these values automatically. Push “SAVE” to keep the
values.
Parameter 1.82. "Actuator Display Scale in Pump Index.
If set to “TRUE”. (Valid for actuator parameter 2,3 & 4). The actuator may show
the values for fuel position by the scale of the fuel pump.
If set to “FALSE”. The actuator may show the values for fuel position by the
scale of 0-100.0 corresponding to actuator stroke in mm.
In any case the regulator may calculate this factor. The actuator may use this
factor or not and this may be selected in the actuator parameters (see actuator
scale source selection).

AA-0061-B/16-Feb-98 65
4.2.14 Dead band mode or constant fuel mode

Front panel push button “dead band” with two diffrent functions. Both have the
intention to save fuel by running with more constant fuel. The engine speed will
vary within some limits. However these two functions behave different.
Parameter 1.A4 select for Dead Band function or Constant Fuel function. For
Sulzer RTA engines, Constant Fuel mode is to be used.
Parameter 1.A4 = false, "Dead band Mode"
When parameter 1.A4 is set to "false" the dead band function is possible to
activate. Dependent of the dead band push button on the front panel of DGU, the
dead band function is activated or deactivated.
1. Deadband Off. The deadband push button LED is off. Speed regulation is
active, but with reduced gain inside the deadband.
2. Deadband On. The deadband push button LED is on. Speed regulation is
passive when engine speed is within the dead band value. Purpose is to save fuel
and reduce load variations on the engine. Dead band value is adjustable by
parameter 0.8 (default 2 rpm).
Parameter 1.A4 = true, "Constant Fuel Mode"
The purpose of this function is to save fuel. It is possible to run in rough sea if the
cmd handle is reduced down from 100 % setting. Otherwise it will not lock and
save fuel. When parameter 1.A4 is set to "true" (on) the constant fuel function is
possible to activate. When constant fuel push-button is not activated the function
is passive and regulation is normal. When constant fuel push-button is activated
the function have 2 stages; 1. Searching and 2. Constant fuel.
1. Searching mode.
The deadband push button LED is activated and the push button LED flashing.
The mode will automatically try to change to constant fuel mode, but 4 criteria
must be met to get constant fuel mode.
nr. CRITERIA TO GET - CONSTANT FUEL MODE parameter
I Engine speed must be within the engage band. 1.A6, 1.A7
II Engine speed must be within the upper and lower limits. 1.AA, 1.AB
III Rpm Cmd handle must not be changed.
IV Criteria I, II and III must be true for the engage time. 1.A5
2. Constant Fuel mode.

The constant fuel mode push button LED keep constant light. This mode will
remain as long as the following criteria are present. Otherwise the search mode
will be reactivated and LED will be flashing.
nr. CRITERIA TO REMAIN - CONSTANT FUEL MODE parameter
I Engine speed must be within the disengage band. 1.A8, 1.A9
II Engine speed must be within the upper and lower limits. 1.AA, 1.AB
III Rpm Cmd handle must not be changed.

66 AA-0061-B/16-Feb-98
Figure 4.5 Constant fuel mode.
Parameter 1.A6 - 1.A7, " engage band."

Two Parameters set the engage band. The band is relative to rpm command
handle and should not be too wide. A upper and lower engage value of 1 - 4 rpm
should be normal. If the band is too wide the speed at constant fuel will not be
precise. Too small band however, will never give the function a possibility to give
constant fuel rack.
Parameter 1.A8 - 1.A9, " dis-engage band."
Two Parameters set the dis-engage band. The band is relative to rpm command
handle and should be wider than engage band. An upper value of 2 - 8 and a
lower value of 3 - 10 rpm should be normal. If the band is too small the speed
settled will not be precise. Too small however will never give the function a
possibility to lock the fuel rack.
Parameter 1.AA - 1.AB, "Lower and Upper limits."
The lower limit should not be set lower than “half” and if non linear
compensation is activated, never set lower than the compensation starting speed.
A value of 50 rpm should be normal.
The upper limit should not be set higher than “102% of mcr. This should enable
running at 100% speed with fixed fuel in nice weather. A value equal to max
speed + 2 rpm should be normal. The upper limit must not be set above the
overspeed limit (107%), otherwise the engine will often overspeed and stop.

AA-0061-B/16-Feb-98 67
4.2.15 Various parameters. (Stop signal, Cancel limiters,,,)

Parameter 1.AC, "Stop / Fuel zero order"
The status for Stop, Start, and Running is controlled by one signals from each
cmd position. This signal is named “fuel zero order”. There is an option to use
two input signals (stop and not go), this parameter can select this. To use one
input signal, set this parameter to “true” is used. When only one signal is used,
the Stop signal is generated internally from the engine speed. As soon as the
engine starts rotating the stop signal is released. If engine stops the stop signal is
activated. The system will use require two signals (stop and not go) if the
parameter is set to “false”.
Parameter 1.AD, "Cansel Limiters/Heavy Start With One Channel Only"
The Heavy Start signal can be one or two inputs. When this parameter is "True"
the hardware channel 29 will control the Cancel Limiters/Heavy Start in all
modes. If this parameter is set to "False" there will be two hardware channels (29
and 32) controlling the Cancel Limiters/Heavy Start signal. channel 29 in
"Bridge control" mode and channel 32 in "Control room" mode.
Parameter 1.AE, "Fuel Limiter Prewarning"
The fuel limiter prewarning signal indicates that the fuel used by the engine is
close to one of the limiter curves. If prewarning alarm is connected, the
prewarning distance in Fuel Index value can be adjusted on this parameter. A
value of 5 is normal when this function is used. The signal is sometimes used by
the CPP control system in case of controllable pitch propeller system.
Parameter 1.AF, "Fixed SpeedLocation"
The fixed speed signal from ch.27, may be activated from remote control system,
from ctrl. room back-up panel, from both or from none. This parameter set the
location from where to operate.

68 AA-0061-B/16-Feb-98
4.2.16 Alarm Adjustments

Parameter 1.B0-1.B3, "Alarm Adjustments"
The alarms detected in the regulator side are possible to delay from regulator
parameters. Some alarms are also generated in the actuator side and they are
possible to delay from the actuator side. See actuator parameters. All alarms are
latched up with LED indicators and must be reset with parameter 10 (both
regulator side and actuator side). See also trouble shooting chapter on alarm
indications. Adjustment and conditioning of signals and finding the reason for
alarms.
Parameter 1.B0 "Alarm Time Delay"
Time delay for alarm input. Delay before alarm indication is latched. (default 1
sec.) For some alarms like rpm detector failure, bridge ctrl. system power fail,
actuator feedback failure and similar, there will be safety actions like fuel rack
block or backup mode, before the alarm is indicated. These delays are only for the
alarm relay output and have no effect on safety function.
Parameter 1.B1 "Alarm Relay Active/Passive Time". K4 relay.
When major alarms (critical alarms) are activated they will be sent through the
actuator controlled K2 relay, regardless of whether they are generated on
regulator or actuator side. K2 relay time delay is controlled by actuator
parameters.
The minor alarms (warnings) are trigged from regulator or actuator and they will
be sent to relay K4. This relay is controlled by regulator side and will keep a
minimum on time and a minimum off time. These times are adjustable by
parameters 1.B1 (Active) and B2 (passive). The purpose of this adjustments are
to enable the alarm system to detect these pulses in case of low sampling time on
the alarm system. Alarm relay will only be activated when the alarm is present
plus on delay time. K1, Fail Safe Relay has a delay at power on equal to actuator
alarm on delay. K3, Low Voltage alarm is not possible to on or off delay, since it
is hardware controlled. however the Low Voltage alarm is also flagged by K4
relay.
Parameter 1.B3 "K4 Alarm Relay Activity"
The alarm relay activity may be inverted to make opposite activity. Note; relay
also have normal open and normal closed contacts.

4.2.17 Dual Rpm Command Instruments. Digital fuel limiter output signal.
Parameter 1.B7 to 1.BF. "Dual Speed Command Instruments"
Parameter 1.B7 switches between diffrent configurations. Two diffrent functions
may be selecected for two output signals; 2pC(1) and 2pC(2). These signals are:
1a) Fuel Limiter Prewarning or 1b) Singel analog(1) output (differencial cmd)
2a) Fuel Limiter Active or 2b) Singel analog(2) output (diffrencial cmd)
3) Dual analog output (cmd-1 and cmd-2).
The selection is done with parameter 1.B7 plus two special backwirings. These
signal will normally be connected to ch. 5 and 6.

4.2.18 Non Linear Compensation Due To Fuel Pump Position

Parameter 1.C0 to 1.C8. "Non Linear Compensation Due To Fuel Pump Position"
Parameter 1.C0 switches the function on and off. This function will only be
activated in special cases. The function may compensate for non linear actuator to
fuel pump position transfer. Parameter 1.C1-1.C4 sets the input x-axis values (0-
100%) and parameter 1.C5-1.C8 sets the corresponding output y-axis (0-100%).
4.2.19 Shaft Generator Function.
Parameter 1.CA-1.CE, "Shaft Generator" *DFEB*
Some logic is provided by the governor to prevent slow down or reduced cmd
handle, to trip the shaft generator. This function may be turned on/off by
parameter 1.CA. When turned on, it will read the signal "Shaft Generator
Connected" and limit the cmd to the "Basic RPM Level", set by parameter 1.CB.
Basic RPM will be active until the timer in parameter 1.CC has expired.
Note: Shut Down, Stop Cmd, Reversing, Fuel limiters and other similar
function will not prevent the shaft generator from tripping.
This mode is normally used when CPP system and shaft generator are
applyed. For FPP configurations with shaft gen., the logic is normally
provided in the remote control system.
Shaft generator available signal (see special backwiring). The parameter 1.CD
"Shaft Generator Avaiable Rpm Band" sets the maximum deviation between
engine speed and fixed speed level. Outputsignal is active if fixed speed switch is
enabled, engine is within the band and has been for the time defined in parameter
1.CE “Shaft Generator available Stabilizing Delay” and if Shaft Generator
Connected input signal is avtive.

AA-0061-B/16-Feb-98 71
4.2.20 Non Linear Compensation Due To Low RPM

Parameter 1.D0 to 1.DA. "Non Linear Compensation Due To Low RPM"
Some fuel pumps are leaking fuel at very low speed. This results in less fuel
injected than indicated by the fuel rack at low speed. Speed oscillation will be the
result, unless compensated during low speed operation. Increasing fuel rack
results in more constant fuel injected into the engine hence more stable speed and
safe start with lower initial setting of fuel start set point. Parameter 1.D1-1.D4
sets the x-axis speed values in rpm and parameter 1.D5-1.D8 sets the
compensation factor for the y-axis. The line from 0 rpm to first point (1.D1) is
always horizontal. Also the last line from (1.D4) and up to max. speed is
horizontal and have a fixed value of 1.0 . The output of this function is a result of
regulator fuel cmd multiplied with the compensation factor (k). Parameter 1.D0
switches the function on and off. Parameter 1.DA enables overrideing of
fuellimiter/start settings. The compensation will work better if the fuellimiters
may be overrided, but this will look like the fuelsetting is too hign sice the
compensation is at its highest at the lowest rpm and espessially at stop. Default is
“False”. See examle of settings below.

4.2.21 QPT
This function is not applicable for Sulzer engines
4.2.22 Test
Parameters. 1.EC to 1.EF. "Test"
Parameter 1.EC-1.EF is only used for test purpose. Parameter 1.EC sets the
interval time in steps of 20 ms. (E.g. a value of 200 gives an interval of 200 *
0.020 sec = 4 sec.) This time affects the "CAL" mode for Measured RPM.
Parameter 1.EE has no function. Parameter 1.EF is the size of "CAL" step for
Measured RPM. These counts will be added to subtracted from the measured
RPM value in order to give noise to the regulator to see response to a step signal.
See readable RPM raw data parameter to display the step or the actual counts.
Parameter 1.F0. "Manual Fuel Limiter" & "Zero Pitch Fuel".
Parameter 1.F0 selects the scale for "Manual Fuel Limiter" and "Zero Pitch Fuel
Lever" to be in Fuel Pump Index or Load (0-100%) scale.
Parameter 1.F1 to 1.F4 for recording purpose.
Parameter 1.F1-1.F4 is only used for recording purpose and does not effect the
regulator in any way.

AA-0061-B/16-Feb-98 73
Parameter 1.F6 to 1.FD for direct fuel test purpose.

It is possible to check actuator performance with this function. Parameter 1.F6
sets the mode for direct fuel command. Make sure engine is stopped before this
parameter is activated. The following modes are available.

Parameter 1.F7 is adjustable if “direct parameter mode” is selected. Then this
parameter controls the position command to actuator. Otherwise this parameter
shows the setting from the other modes. Parameter 1.F8 and 1.F9 is used when
i/o channel 21 is selected. These parameters scale from counts low (1.F9) at 0%

4.3 Actuator parameter description

In the actuator there is only one group of parameters, no opcodes.. See parameter list.
4.3.1 Mode selection.

Parameter 1 . This parameter may be changed when handle is in stop position. Handle
in stop results in Idle Mode indicated by LED on front panel. Test and self test mode
may be selected. Only self test mode is used in this actuator version. Self test generates
a memory check of RAM (Random Access Memory) and eeProm (Electric Erasable
Programmable Read Only Memory). Start self test with the “lamp test” button. See
trouble shooting if “Error” message appears. Otherwise the actuator should respond
with “EL-Act” in the value window.
4.3.2 Readable information.

These parameters are by default scaled in 0-100 mm actuator position.(for ELACT 001
and 140mm actuator arm). However, different scaling may be used by selecting
parameter 34 & 35 and entering different values. See these parameters for alternative
scaling.
Parameter 2 show actuator command from regulator.

Parameter 3 show actuator output or actuator feedback signal.
Parameter 4 show the difference between parameter 2 and 3.
Parameter 5 indicates the dead band in actuator mm. Readable only.
Parameter 6 indicates Information from the Regulator. Readable only. See regulator
parameter Actuator Display Info selection.
4.3.3 Alarm info, info reset and feedback failure block reset.
Parameter 7 & 8 show code for feedback failure and indata failure. Resettable
memorized values. See trouble shooting for details.
Parameter 9. Not used.
Parameter 10 Resetting of alarm information and Alarm LED. (Lamp test button may
also be used to reset alarm LED and memorized info reset.
Parameter 11 Alarm information number. See trouble shooting if any alarms.
Parameter 12 Alarm information text. See trouble shooting if any alarms.
Parameter 13 Alarm information. Ref. alarm list.

AA-0061-B/16-Feb-98 75
4.3.4 System parameter.

Parameter 14 indicates software version. Not adjustable.
Parameter 15 Actuator Type. This parameter set the operating range and display scale
for parameter 2,3 and 4.
Actuator Gear Max. parameter 2 and 3 show Scale & stroke with
type counts 100.0 at angle like; (140mm arm)
ELA-01 1:89 21189 42 (41.85) 100.0 mm
Parameter 16 Engine Maker must be set according with the correct engine maker. To
be set to Sulzer. This setting will influence other functions as operating range, behavior
in idle mode and so on.
4.3.5 Actuator Control Parameters.

The “position regulator” (actuator), converts a deviation in position (pos) to actuator
speed output signal (Uo) according to the following formula. Uo = pos * P-Gain / K.
For ELACT 001 K=246.4 and for ELACT 002/003 K=373.2.
Example; ELACT 001 ELACT 002 / 003
P-Gain = 120 P-Gain = 181
deviation = 20.6 mm deviation = 20.6 mm
output =10 Volt output = 10 Volt
_________________ ________________

output = 1 Volt output = 1 Volt
_________________ ________________

output = 0.7 Volt output = 0.7 Volt
Figure 4.8 Actuator Gain.
Parameter 17 Actuator P-Gain. Adjust upwards until good response. Good response is
important for good regulation and safe maneuvering. Check that the actuator does not
overshoot or oscillate when a step command is applied. A step may be applied in
setpoint mode or at stop/start.

76 AA-0061-B/16-Feb-98
Parameter 18 Auto Offset Tuning for Output Channel 13 ( 10 Volt) is to be activated

when the position for feedback do not follow the command precisely. The parameter
may be activated in idle or in normal mode. In normal mode the command must be
stable before the tuning will be completed. The parameter will indicate “tuning” when
activated. If result is satisfactory the indication will be “SEt” (actuator automatically
saves the offset value in memory) and then indicates normal “oFFSEt” indication. The
offset value must be within 50 counts to be accepted. If actuator does not find a
satisfactory result it may be switched back to “oFFSEt” to terminate the tuning. In that
case the previous offset value will remain. In idle mode the actuator may be positioned
anywhere and the tuning may be activated. The result may be seen in parameter
19.Parameter 19 Offset for Output Channel 13 ( 10 Volt) may be adjusted manually.
Parameter 20 Feedback encoder Offset may be used for tuning the actuator position
around zero, if parameter 3 does not match zero on the fuel rack and emergency stand.
Make sure that this value is set to zero before clamp cone is assembled.
4.3.6 Servo Position Feedback Fail Test.

Parameter 21 Position Limit Time-out is normally not changed. However, it may be
used for extending the time for actuator to operate outside the normal positions. If P-
Gain is very high, the actuator may overshoot.
Parameter 22 Wrong Way Timeout is normally not changed. It may be used to extend
the delay if necessary.
Parameter 23 Wrong Way Cmd Level is normally not changed. Wrong way is testing if
actuator is rotating (by any speed) opposite to command and the command is more than
300 counts (default value) of 21189 for ELACT001 or 14047 for ELACT002/003.
Parameter 24 Too Slow, Time-out at fast speedcmd. (Time) When actuator is given a
high speed value (10 Volt) the response of the actuator is expected to be faster than for
a slow speed cmd ( 2.5 Volt). This parameter is normally not changed unless the
fuelrack is unusually heavy. Then it may be increased to accept longer time for fast
movements. If this value must be increased above 1.000 sec. to eliminate too_slow
indication, there is probably something wrong with the fuelrack or the power of the
actuator. The actuator will remain with full power during too slow status.
Parameter 25 Too Slow, Time-out at slow speedcmd (time) is normally not changed.
Longer time is accepted for slow speedcmd to actuator. Increasing parameter 25 will
result in less possibility of too_slow indication. The value of slow speedcmd is defined
in the next parameter. When the speedcmd is in-between slow (25%) and fast speedcmd
(100%) the time is set by a linear curve in-between See figure; timeout for too slow.

AA-0061-B/16-Feb-98 77
Parameter 26 Too Slow, slow speedcmd Level (%) is normally not changed. This value
is the minimum required speedcommand to generate “Too Slow status” when actuator
is not moving. If speedcmd is less than 25% the too slow status will never appear.
Increasing parameter 26 will result in less possibility of too_slow status. The value is
scaled in 0-100% corresponding to 0-10Voutputsignal to servoamplifier. Default 25%.
Figure 4.9 Timeout for too slow.
Parameter 27 Too Slow Block, Timeout (time) is normally not changed. The too slow
status is only accepted for some time. This parameter controls the accepted time.
Default is 5.0 sec. After that time the actuator brake will be activated. The maximum
time is 20 sec and minimum time is 0.1 sec. Decreasing this value to 0.0 sec. will
switch off the too slow block function .
4.3.7 Idle mode, manual control.

Parameter 28 Plus key, actuator speed. is normally not changed. This value sets the
speed for actuator to increase fuel in Idle Mode Manual Control (Change Key must be
Open) when plus (+) button is activated.
Parameter 29 Minus key, actuator speed. is normally not changed. This value sets the
speed for actuator to decrease fuel in Idle Mode Manual Control (Change Key must be
Open) when minus (-) button is activated.

78 AA-0061-B/16-Feb-98
4.3.8 Actuator operating range.

Parameter 31 Range limitations on/off, for idle mode. is normally not changed. This
parameter may be set to Lim Off for test purpose. This will enable the actuator to
operate outside the normal range (default 0 - 100.0 mm @ 42°). Feedback fail will
indicate when actuator position is operating outside (more than 2000 counts) the legal
range, but actuator will not be blocked while handle is in stop position and limitations is
off.
Parameter 32 Setting of actuator behavior in Idle Mode This parameter is normally not
changed. Different behavior may be achieved with this parameter. The change key
must be set to CLOSE (normal ) position for the selected behavior to take place. The
different behaviors is;
a) Maker. (Default) When maker is selected, the behavior depends on the maker
parameter. For Sulzer setting (default) the behavior will be as for active.
b) Active. When active is selected, the actuator will park in stop and remain with
position control at zero fuel. The maximum power will however, be reduced as
set by parameter 33.
c) Passive When passive is selected, the actuator will park in stop and release the
positioning power. It will be possible to move the actuator.
d) Passive and Block When passive and block is selected, the actuator will park in
stop, release the positioning power and activate the brake to keep actuator in
stop. It will not be possible to move the actuator.
Parameter 33 Actuator force in Idle Mode This parameter is normally not changed. If
the actuator is set to be active in idle mode (parameter 32) the force in idle mode is
normally reduced. The maximum speedcmd and hence force, is adjustable. This could
be useful if more force is required for keeping zero position when engine is stopped.
This limitation is not percent in normal mode.
4.3.9 Alarm Relay.

The actuator controls the alarm relay K2 (Alarm).
Parameter 37 Actuator alarm input filter. All alarms detected in actuator such as low
voltage, feedback fail, servo amplifier fail and so on, is delayed by an input filter. Input
delay is only for alarm (relays connected to alarm central) and do not influence the
blocking of actuator for safety reasons.
Parameter 38 K2 - Relay holding delay. K2 alarm relay is both for actuator and
regulator. Alarm relay may be adjusted to be activated a minimum time. This is called a
holding time. Adjustment will depend on the sampling time for alarm central. Upon a
new alarm the relay will go passive according to off time and then be activated again at
least for the holding time or as long as the alarm condition is present. No reset is
required to release the relay. The indication however must be reset by parameter 10 (or
lamp test button) on regulator or actuator.

AA-0061-B/16-Feb-98 79
Parameter 39 K2 - Relay off delay. Alarm relay may be adjusted to be passive (off) a
minimum time. This is called an off time. Adjustment will depend on the sampling time
for alarm central. This is also the time the relay will be passive if a new alarm is
activated.
4.3.10 Digital input signals.

Exclusive “or” function of these signals. True will invert the input signal and False will
let the signal go strait through. These parameters are normally not changed.
Parameter 40, digital input ch. 09 External stop.
Parameter 41, digital input ch. 15 Servo Amplifier Fail.
Parameter 42, digital input ch. 16 Manual Mode.
4.3.11 Block when low voltage.

Parameter 43. Default setting is “true”. Normally not adjusted. This parameter enables
blocking of actuator if power monitoring card detects low voltage. This is required if
no battery backup is connected to the 24 Volt supply. If battery backup is connected
this parameter must be set to “false” to enable the actuator to operate below 24Volt.
4.3.12 Actuator rotation direction.

Parameter 44 Actuator rotation direction, is a readable parameter. The dip switch on
the inside of the front panel is possible to change to set the rotation direction of el
motor. There are two blocks of dip switches and 8 switches in each block. Only the
bottom switch is used by elact. See inside the frontdoor for location. Changing the
position of the switch will indicate “CW” or “CCW” by this parameter. When actuator
is seen from the gear side; “CW” setting will give stop with Clock Wise rotation.
“CCW” setting will give stop with Counter Clock Wise rotation. See also actuator zero
adjustments for the same.

80 AA-0061-B/16-Feb-98
4.3.13 Fuel indication output signal.
Parameter 45-48 set the actuator position

0-100% stroke and analog output 0-255
counts with tH, tL, CL and CH
parameters. This setting will also influence
on ch 3, if ch. 3 is connected to ch. 4
which is normal if two output channels are
used.
Note: Only 4-20mA adapter card nn-

808.3 or nn-802.2 may be used on these
channels.
Figure 4.10 Actuator position,

ch.4 output signal.
4.3.14 Test parameters.

Parameter 49 and 50 may be used for simulating the output signals for “Brake On”
and “Torque Enable”. These are only possibly to simulate in “Idle Mode” (handle in
stop position).
4.3.15 Readable parameters.

Parameter 52-54 is readable only. They are analog counts values for position.
Parameter 52 is count value for parameter 02.
Parameter 55-63 is readable only. They are counts values for digital in/out signals.
Parameter 64 is used for enabling some analog test signal.
Parameter 65 is the system date code. CAUTION: Do not reset this date.
The actuator check this date to see if the program code has been altered and in that case,
it will reset all parameters to default data at next power up procedure.
Parameter 66 Actuator software program checksum. Readable parameter.
Parameter 67 Actuator processor board CPU speed. This must be set according to the
CPU speed on the processor board used. If not correctly set the timers will be too slow
or too fast. NN-791.12 uses 8MHz clock. Earlier type is NN-791.10 use 5MHz clock.
Parameter 99 is the setting for service code required to make changes.
