Chapter 3.
Service and Configuration Procedures
Introduction
This chapter contains information on control configurations, setting adjustments and the use of
Woodward’s Control Assistant software tool. Because of the variety of installations, system and
component tolerances, the 2301E-ST must be tuned and configured for each system to obtain optimum
performance. Refer to Chapter 4 for start-up settings, adjustments and instructions.
An improperly calibrated control could cause an overspeed or other
damage to the prime mover. To prevent possible serious injury from
an overspeeding prime mover, read this entire procedure before
starting the prime mover.
Control Assistant PC Interface
The connection of a computer is only required for calibration and setup of the 2301E control on a prime
mover. The computer and Control Assistant or 2301E Toolkit Service Tool software is not required, and
not necessary, for normal operation of the prime mover, unless Modbus is being used for monitoring.
Control Assistant is similar to the Servlink / Watch Window used on the 2301D-ST. It provides a means of
shutting down and placing the control in the I/O Lock mode for Configuration, saving values in the control
EEPROM, and resetting the control. Application tunable values can be uploaded, downloaded, and saved
to a file.
A “WinPanel” provides a window for real-time monitoring and editing of all control Configure and Service
Menu parameters and values. Tunable values can be adjusted in the WinPanel window. Control Assistant
communicates with the control through an RS-232 cable “null-modem” connection to the communication
port which is configured as a point-to-point only SOS Servlink OPC Server.
