5437-672 WOODWARD Debugger unit

The 5437-672 is a microprocessor-based digital governor controller produced by Woodward, belonging to its classic 505 series.
It is primarily designed for speed control and protection of steam turbines. Below is a detailed introduction to this product:

I. Product Overview

Brand and Model: Woodward 5437-672
Series: 505 Series Digital Governor
Type: Microprocessor-based controller
Purpose: Specifically designed for steam turbines to control their speed and provide overspeed protection.

II. Core Functions

Speed Control:
- 5437-672 Precisely controls the speed of steam turbines by adjusting steam inlet flow.
- Supports single-range or split-range actuators to accommodate turbines of different sizes.
Overspeed Protection:
- Incorporates triple independent overspeed protection logic to ensure rapid shutdown in case of overspeed, preventing equipment damage.
- Provides an overspeed test button for convenient on-site testing of protection functions.
Emergency Shutdown:
- Equipped with an emergency stop button for immediate shutdown in emergency situations.
System Protection:
- - Automatically switches control modes upon sensor failure to ensure uninterrupted system operation.
  - Offers local/remote control priority selection to adapt to different operational scenarios.

The PID controller maintains output so that there is zero error between the process variable and the setpoint/expected

output through closed-loop operation. PID uses three basic control behaviors, which will be explained below.

P-Controller:

The proportional or P-controller provides an output proportional to the current error e (t). It compares the expected value or

set value with the actual value or feedback process value. Multiply the obtained error by the proportionality constant to obtain the

output. If the error value is zero, the controller outputs zero.

The input-output of PID controller and the control implementation of PID controller

This controller requires bias or manual reset when used alone. This is because it has never reached a steady state. It provides

stable operation but always maintains a stable state of error. When the proportionality constant Kc increases, the response speed will also increase.

I-Controller

Due to the constant deviation between the process variable and the set point in the p-controller, an I-controller is required, which provides

the necessary actions to eliminate steady-state errors. It integrates a period of error until the error value reaches zero. It maintains the

value of zero error for the final control device unchanged.

When negative errors occur, integral control will reduce its output. It limits the response speed and affects the stability of the system.

The response speed increases by reducing the integral gain Ki.
