The engine, turbine, or other type of prime mover should be

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

The products described in this publication may present risks that

could lead to personal injury, loss of life, or property damage. Always
wear the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) for the job
Personal Protective at hand. Equipment that should be considered includes but is not
limited to:
Equipment
 Eye Protection
 Hearing Protection
 Hard Hat
 Gloves
 Safety Boots
 Respirator
Always read the proper Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for any
working fluid(s) and comply with recommended safety equipment.

Be prepared to make an emergency shutdown when starting the

engine, turbine, or other type of prime mover, to protect against
runaway or overspeed with possible personal injury, loss of life, or
Start-up property damage.

On- and off-highway Mobile Applications: Unless Woodward's control

To prevent damage to a control system that uses an alternator or

battery-charging device, make sure the charging device is turned off
before disconnecting the battery from the system.
Battery Charging
Device

Electrostatic Discharge Awareness

Electronic controls contain static-sensitive parts. Observe the
following precautions to prevent damage to these parts:
 Discharge body static before handling the control (with power to
the control turned off, contact a grounded surface and maintain
Electrostatic contact while handling the control).
Precautions  Avoid all plastic, vinyl, and Styrofoam (except antistatic versions)
around printed circuit boards.
 Do not touch the components or conductors on a printed circuit
board with your hands or with conductive devices.
To prevent damage to electronic components caused by improper
handling, read and observe the precautions in Woodward manual
82715, Guide for Handling and Protection of Electronic Controls,
Printed Circuit Boards, and Modules.

Follow these precautions when working with or near the control.

1. Avoid the build-up of static electricity on your body by not wearing clothing
made of synthetic materials. Wear cotton or cotton-blend materials as much
as possible because these do not store static electric charges as much as
synthetics.
2. Do not remove the printed circuit board (PCB) from the control cabinet
unless absolutely necessary. If you must remove the PCB from the control
cabinet, follow these precautions:
 Do not touch any part of the PCB except the edges.
 Do not touch the electrical conductors, the connectors, or the
components with conductive devices or with your hands.
 When replacing a PCB, keep the new PCB in the plastic antistatic
protective bag it comes in until you are ready to install it. Immediately
after removing the old PCB from the control cabinet, place it in the
antistatic protective bag.

Woodward 31
ProTechTPS Total Protection System Manual 26501V2
The system is equipped with several internal test routines to verify configurable
logic and that parameters are working correctly. The test menu of the
ProTechTPS keypad contains following tests:
 Temporary overspeed setpoint
This is an overspeed test with adjusted test speed setpoint executed with
the real hardware speed signal from the rotating machine. The speed of the
rotating machine must be raised within the allowed test time span in order to
test trip action. If the overspeed setpoint is not exceeded within this time
span, the overspeed test is aborted.
 Manual simulated speed test
This is an overspeed test with the speed setpoint that is valid for the
machine executed with a simulated speed signal from an internal frequency
generator that initiates at the overspeed setpoint minus 100 rpm and must
be manually raised within the allowed time span to above the overspeed
setpoint in order to test the trip action. If the overspeed setpoint is not
exceeded within this time span, the overspeed test is aborted.
 Auto simulated speed test
This is an overspeed test with the speed setpoint that is valid for the
machine executed with a simulated speed signal from an internal frequency
generator that initiates at the overspeed setpoint minus 100 rpm and is
automatically raised to above the overspeed setpoint in order to test the trip
action. If the overspeed setpoint is not exceeded within the requested time
span, the overspeed test is aborted.
 Periodic overspeed test
The periodic overspeed test provides an auto simulated speed test at the
configured test interval. Since module A initiates the test sequence, the
periodic overspeed test can only be configured in module A.
 User defined test 1
 User defined test 2
 User defined test 3

Figure 9-53. Test Modes Menu

In general, a test may not be started if any other module is tripped or in test or if
the current module is tripped or in test. One exception to these rules is the
Temporary Overspeed Trip Setpoint which can be applied to multiple modules or
if another module is tripped. The other is the Lamp Test which can be applied to
any module at any time without a password. If a test is not permitted, or aborted,
the following messages explain the cause:

32 Woodward

Programming and Configuration Tool

General
Each ProTechTPS module includes preset overspeed, over-acceleration, alarm
latch, and trip latch functionality. It can be custom configured to meet a specific
application through a module’s front panel or the provided Programming and
Configuration Tool (PCT).

A custom application program is required for use of any of the ProTechTPS

control’s configurable inputs and outputs and related functionality. The
ProTechTPS includes a software-based PCT that can be loaded onto a computer
and used to:
 Create and change custom application programs
 Change overspeed and over-acceleration functionality settings
 Save application and configuration settings to a file
 Download application and configuration settings to each ProTechTPS
module
 Upload application and configuration settings from a ProTechTPS module
 Upload and view stored logged files from a ProTechTPS module

An unsafe condition could occur with improper use of these software

tools. Only trained personnel should have access to these tools.

A straight-through serial cable is used to allow the designated computer (with the
PCT program loaded on it) to communicate with a ProTechTPS. Refer to Figure
2-18 for cable-specific information.

The PCT consists of a combination of Woodward’s “ToolKit” HMI (Human

Machine Interface) software program and a special ProTechTPS application file.
Although the PCT is provided with each ProTechTPS on an included software
installation CD, it can also be uploaded from Woodward’s Internet website
(www.woodward.com/software).

The PCT is designed to allow off-line (while not connected to the ProTechTPS)
program and configuration settings to be generated, saved, then downloaded into
a ProTechTPS. On-Line (while connected to the ProTechTPS) configuration
settings can be manipulated. This is an example of a typical process to follow to
program and/or make changes to the ProTechTPS via the PCT:
1. Open ToolKit and select a .wset file to modify/edit or create a new one from
SID specification defaults.
2. Create program logic or make changes to existing logic.
3. Save the .wset file to a directory on the computer.
4. Connect to the ProTechTPS via the PCT connection wizard.
5. Download the saved .wset file to the ProTechTPS module (module must be
in tripped state).
6. Using the Config Menu’s Configuration Management function copy the
downloaded program to the other two ProTechTPS modules.

40 Woodward
Manual 26501V2 ProTechTPS Total Protection System

Configuration Overview
The Configuration Overview screen shows CRC codes associated with the
overall configuration and with individual (sub-component) configurations. The
CRC is a value calculated from the configuration data, so that if the data
changes, the CRC will change. CRC codes that do not match represent
dissimilar configurations and matching CRC codes represent identical
configurations.

Comparing CRCs between modules or before and after a software change can
provide confirmation of where configurations are the same and to facilitate
isolation of configuration changes.

The CRC values are also displayed on the front panel user interface (see
Configuration Overview).

The log can be saved to an html file using the Export button.

Configuration of the ProTechTPS

Changing the configuration settings in the ProTechTPS is

permissible only in a trip condition. If the unit is not in trip condition,
configuration changes are inhibited. If no trip condition is present, a
power-up trip condition can be generated by a power supply cycle.

Changing the configuration settings in the ProTechTPS is possible in two ways:

 Directly through the front panel of the ProTechTPS
 By the Programming and Configuration Tool (PCT)

The changes that can be done via the front panel are limited to the following
functions:
 Speed Probe Type
 Number of Gear Teeth
 Gear Ratio
 Overspeed Trip Setpoint
 Sudden Speed Loss Alarm/Trip
 Acceleration Trip Enable/Disable
 Accel trip Enabled Speed Setpoint
 Acceleration Trip Setpoint [rpm/s]
 Speed Fail Setpoint
 Speed Fail Trip Enable/Disable
 Speed Fail Alarm Enable/Disable
 Speed Fail Timeout Trip
 Speed Fail Timeout Time
 Trip Latch Energize/De-energize to Trip
 Analog Output 4 mA and 20 mA Settings
 Test Modes
 Periodic Overspeed Test
 Modbus Communication Parameters
 Configuration Compare and Copy Features
 Changing Passwords

All other configurations, including the ones that can be configured by the front
panel, can only be implemented by use of the Programming and Configuration
Tool (PCT). With the PCT, it is possible to do:
 On-Line configuration
 Off-Line configuration

can be configured for either analog or discrete input.

When “Inputs” is selected, the following screen is displayed:

70 Woodward
Manual 26501V2 ProTechTPS Total Protection System
Inputs can be configured using the Programmable Inputs 1-4, 5-8 and 9-10
screens and the options include:
 Not Used
 Discrete Input
 Analog input

Each input can have a name assigned by using the name field. This name is
displayed on the front panel on the analog input monitoring screens. The text
name for inputs is for reference only and is not used for configuring inputs in
ToolKit.

Analog inputs have fields for scaling and assigning engineering units.

Analog Inputs have fields for assigning low and high setpoints for trips, alarms,
events, or any status, or enable purposes.

In order to establish that the low and high setpoints have any effect, these
setpoints must be configured as an input in a trip latch, alarm latch, event latch,
or any logic gate.

If a discrete input is not used as an input in any other function, the Configuration
Error Log will indicate a warning.

If an input is used as input to a comparator while this input is configured to be a

discrete input, the Configuration Error Log will indicate an error and the
configuration cannot be uploaded to the ProTechTPS.

If none of the results of an analog input are used as an input in any other
function, the Configuration Error Log will indicate an alarm.

If any result from the analog input is used, either the analog value or one of the
setpoints, then the configuration is regarded correct and no alarm will be
displayed in the Configuration Error Log.

If the analog result from the analog input is used as an input for a Boolean
(logical) function like a logic gate, delay, etc, the Configuration Error Log will
show an error and the configuration cannot be loaded to the ProTechTPS.

The following fields are available for each configurable input:

Configure Input
 Input Mode: Selects the input usage. Valid values: Not Used, Analog Input,
or Discrete Input

seconds.

If 24 hour time-sync is selected, additional input fields appear for the selection of
a discrete input for synchronization pulse and the set time.

Test Modes
The system is equipped with several internal test routines to verify configurable
logic and that parameters are working correctly. The test menu of the
ProTechTPS keypad contains following tests:
 Temporary overspeed setpoint
This is an overspeed test with adjusted test speed setpoint executed with
the real hardware speed signal from the rotating machine. The speed of the
rotating machine must be raised within the allowed test time span in order to
test trip action. If the overspeed setpoint is not exceeded within this time
span, the overspeed test is aborted.
 Manual simulated speed test
This is an overspeed test with the speed setpoint that is valid for the
machine executed with a simulated speed signal from an internal frequency
generator that initiates at the overspeed setpoint minus 100 rpm and must
be manually raised within the allowed time span to above the overspeed
setpoint in order to test the trip action. If the overspeed setpoint is not
exceeded within this time span, the overspeed test is aborted.
 Auto simulated speed test
This is an overspeed test with the speed setpoint that is valid for the
machine executed with a simulated speed signal from an internal frequency
generator that initiates at the overspeed setpoint minus 100 rpm and is
automatically raised to above the overspeed setpoint in order to test the trip
action. If the overspeed setpoint is not exceeded within the requested time
span, the overspeed test is aborted.
 Periodic overspeed test

Woodward 73
ProTechTPS Total Protection System Manual 26501V2
The periodic overspeed test provides an auto simulated speed test at the
configured test interval. Since module A initiates the test sequence, the
periodic overspeed test can only be configured in module A.
 User defined test 1
 User defined test 2
 User defined test 3

 Lamp test
The lamp test verifies the front panel LED functionality by cycling through
the color combinations. When the test is started, the following sequence is
followed.
1. Tripped, Unit Health, and Alarm LEDs are turned off for 1 second.
2. Tripped LED is on and red, Unit Health LED is on and red, and
Alarm LED is on and yellow for 1 second.
3. Unit Health LED turns green for one second.
4. Tripped, Unit Health, and Alarm LEDs are turned off for 1 second.
5. LEDs return to displaying their active state based on operating
conditions.
The test can be repeated as needed. A cancel option is also provided to
cancel the test or to return to the previous test modes screen.

When “Test Modes” is selected, the following screen is displayed:

Latches
There are ten latches (set/reset flip-flops) available that can be used to create an
output available for trips, alarms, or any logical function. The latch is reset
dominant, meaning the output is false if the reset input is true regardless of the
set input.

Latch Monitor screen (front panel)

When “Latches” is selected in the settings editor or config menu, the following
screen is displayed:

and uploading of the configuration file will not be possible.

Delays
There are 15 Delay functions (timers) available that can be used to create an
output available for trips, alarms, or any logical function. Each delay function can
have a pickup time and a drop-off time (delay in switching from False to True,
delay in switching from True to False).

Delay Monitor screen (front panel)

80 Woodward

When “Delays” is selected in the settings editor or the Config menu, the following
screen is displayed:

The delay requires that the input be true for a configurable True Delay Time
before the output changes state to true, and that the input be false for a
configurable False Delay Time before the output changes state to false.

The input field for each delay can be any function result from another gate or
from an analog input alarm setpoint, or a timer, etc. For this purpose, all functions
like logic gates, timers, inputs, etc are numbered. Referencing logic gate inputs
to outputs from other functions is done by this numbering.

The False delay field defines the drop-off time (delay switching from True to
false). The True delay field defines the pick-up time (delay switching from False
to True).

Comparators
There are ten comparators available that can be used to create an output
available for trips, alarms, or any logical function.

Comparator Monitor screen (front panel)

When “Comparators” is selected, the following screen is displayed:

The block input is compared to fixed on and off values. The values entered have
the same scaling as the connected analog input (speed is in rpm and
acceleration is in rpm/s).

The difference between ON-level and OFF-level can be used to create

hysteresis.

If ON-level is greater than the OFF-level, the output becomes TRUE when the
input is higher than the ON-level and goes FALSE when the input becomes less
than OFF-level.

Woodward 83
ProTechTPS Total Protection System Manual 26501V2
If ON-level is less than the OFF-level, the output becomes TRUE when the input
is less than the ON-level and goes FALSE when the input becomes higher than
OFF-level.

If On-level equals OFF-level, there is no hysteresis and the output becomes

TRUE when the input is higher than the ON-level and goes FALSE when the
input becomes less than ON-level.

Comparator Settings
 Input. Selection for the block input. Valid values: Speed, Acceleration, or
Analog Input 1-10.
 Off Level. Comparator OFF value, in engineering units.
Valid values: -999999 to 999999
 On Level. Comparator ON value, in engineering units.
Valid values: -999999 to 999999

If the result of a comparator is not used as an input in any other function, the
Configuration Error Log will indicate a warning.

If inputs configured as ‘discrete input’ are connected to the comparator, the

Configuration Error Log will indicate an error and uploading will be inhibited.

Timers
Fifteen timers are available. Each timer has a start input, a reset input, an
elapsed time output, a Hi setpoint reached output, and a HiHi setpoint reached
output. The timer counts up while the start input is true.

The elapsed time output is reset to zero and the Boolean outputs (Hi and HiHi)
set false when the reset input is true. The start input is ignored whenever the
reset input is true. For example, if the reset input is set to true, and the start input
is set to true, the timer remains reset. If the reset input changes to false with the
start input still true, the timer will start.

The output value is displayed in milliseconds and can be viewed on the front
panel or over Modbus as well as the status of the Hi and HiHi outputs.

Trip Cycle Timers

A trip cycle timer is a function that measures the time from a trip event until the
trip is confirmed by an input (for instance trip and throttle valve limit switch), or by
any internally created logic function. An Alarm is indicated if the time is expired
before the feedback confirmation is received. There are two trip cycle timers
available.

The trip cycle time is measured in milliseconds and shown in Monitor mode on
the ProTechTPS display.

When “Trip Cycle Timers” is selected in the settings editor or in the config menu,
the following screen is displayed:

The Trip Indicator input field has to be connected to the signal that is used for the
trip feedback confirmation (for example, a trip valve limit switch). This trip

value is expressed in milliseconds. Valid values: 1-60000 ms

The output of the Trip Cycle Monitor is automatically connected to the Alarm
Latch, user connection is not required.

Trip Latch
The output of the Trip Latch goes true if any of its inputs are true. Once the
output of the trip latch is true, it remains true until the trip reset function occurs
and all inputs are false. The output of the trip latch drives the trip voter relays.

The trip voter relays can be configured to energize for trip or de-energize for trip,
which can be selected by entering the particular selection in the trip configuration
input field.

The inputs of this trip latch are 11 fixed trip causes and can be expanded with up
to 25 programmable trip causes. The fixed trip causes are:
 Power-up Trip: At power up, the unit always starts in trip condition which
can be reset. This trip cause is always enabled and cannot be inhibited.
 Internal Module Fault: This trip cause is active if any fault is detected by
the internal diagnostic logic.
 Overspeed Trip: This trip cause is always enabled and cannot be inhibited.
 Speed Fail Trip: This trip cause can be enabled or disabled in the
configuration screen of the speed inputs.
 Speed Lost Trip: This trip cause can be disabled (set to Alarm) in the
configuration screen of the speed inputs.
 Speed Probe Open Wire Trip: Open wire detection is only possible if MPU
speed probes are used.
 Speed Fail Timeout Trip: This trip cause can be enabled or disabled in the
configuration screen of the speed inputs.
 Over-acceleration Trip: This trip cause can be enabled or disabled in the
configuration screen of the speed inputs.
 Configuration Trip: Indicated during a configuration save.
 Parameter Error Trip: This trip cause is active if settings are not correctly
read out of EEPROM.
 Resettable Trip Input: This trip cause can be enabled or disabled in the
configuration screen of the Reset inputs.

In addition, 25 trip causes can be programmed. These trip causes can be either
from discrete inputs, comparators, latches, logic gates, etc. The user can assign
a description to each user-configurable input by just replacing the default text,
where the description can have up to 24 alphanumeric characters maximum.
This description will show on the ProTechTPS screen when the corresponding
trip cause is active.

Alarm Latch
The output of the Alarm Latch goes true if any of its inputs are true. Once the
output of the Alarm latch is true, it remains true until the trip reset function occurs
and all inputs are false. The output of the alarm latch is connected by default to
programmable relay 1.

The alarm latch provides up to 50 user-configurable inputs.

These inputs can be from discrete inputs, comparators, latches, Logic gates, etc,
by using the selector menu (black triangle)

The user can assign a description to each user-configurable input by just

Reset Logic
This screen facilitates configuration of the configurable reset command and a
resettable trip input.

Configurable Reset Command

The “Reset Logic” screen allows selecting additional reset inputs for resetting the
alarm and trip latches.

By using this selection, the reset can be established not only by the Reset button
on the ProTechTPS keypad, but also by an external function or by a function
created in logic.

To do so, the extra reset source can be entered in the input field for the
configurable reset source, or by setting Mode = Used and assigning one of the
discrete inputs to input field “Reset Input Selection”.

Resettable Trip Input

The “Reset Logic” screen allows selecting an input to the trip latch that has been
pre-configured to provide a resettable trip feature. With this feature, the ProTech
trip output can be reset while this trip input is still commanding a trip. Example
use of this function is ProTechTPS product connection into a turbine trip string as
an input and output, as a latch-up prevention.

Woodward 89
ProTechTPS Total Protection System Manual 26501V2
When set to 'Used', the Resettable Trip Function is automatically connected into
the Trip Latch. While this trip input is active (commanding a trip; open discrete
input), the ProTech trip output can be reset.

If the discrete input closes and then re-opens after the reset, a trip shall be re-
activated. If the discrete input closes and then re-opens prior to a reset, the trip
shall remain active (and not clear and re-appear).

When “Reset Logic” is selected, the following screen is displayed:

output. Valid values: 0-32000 RPM
 Speed @ 20 mA: The speed value at max (20 mA) for scaling the
analog output. Valid values: 0-32000 RPM

Event Latches
Three event latches are available. Each event latch has up to 25 user-
configurable inputs. The output of the event latch goes true if any input is true.
These inputs can be either from discrete inputs, comparators, latches, logic
gates, etc.

Woodward 91
ProTechTPS Total Protection System Manual 26501V2
The user can assign a description to each user-configurable input, by just
replacing the default text, where the description can have up to 24 alphanumeric
characters maximum. This description will show on the ProTechTPS screen
when the corresponding event has occurred.

Once the output of the event latch is true, it remains true until its reset input
becomes true and all inputs are false.

The typical connection for the reset input is the ‘Reset Function’ however other
connection options can be selected by entering any signal in the reset input field.

Each input has an associated first-out Boolean output that is true if that input
became true when the output of the trip latch was false.

Once true, the first-out Boolean values remains true until the event latch output
becomes false.

The first-out Boolean values are available on Modbus and the front panel display.
They are not available as inputs to the configurable logic blocks or the
programmable relays.

Configuration of Custom Logic

Custom logic can be built by combining logical functions like comparators,
latches, gates, etc. The results of this logic can be used to cause a trip or alarm
by using these results as inputs to the trip-latches, etc., or can be connected to
one of the relay outputs.

Connecting outputs (results) from one function to inputs of other functions always
has to be defined by entering in the input fields of functions a reference to
another function.

Before you start entering custom logic, Woodward recommends you make a logic
diagram and keep this diagram in the documentation files. Woodward also
recommends keeping the diagrams up to date after a modification in custom
logic. Reconstruction of the logic interconnections from the configuration files
after-the-fact is possible, but time consuming.

The customer is responsible for fully testing their logic

configuration.

The custom logic uses a non-latching ‘one-shot’ on the start and

reset functions. If a condition needs to remain latched that is initiated
by either start or reset function, a latch must be used.

ProTechTPS Configuration Checks

When a settings file is loaded to the device, the values are checked in the
control. Configuration Warnings are provided for detected configuration issues
that are questionable and should be verified. A Configuration Error indicates a
problem in the settings file that needs correcting. If a configuration error is
detected during a settings file load, the file load is aborted and the values are
discarded. Detection of configuration warnings will not preclude a settings file
load operation.

3
Text: Error – <block identifier> is used but has no inputs configured.
Condition: The identified function is configured as used but the block inputs
are not configured. This error applies to the resettable trip
function.
Example: Error – Resettable Trip is used but has no inputs configured.
The Resettable Trip function is configured as ‘Used’ but the
function’s input is not configured.

4
Text: Error - <block identifier> has outputs connected but no inputs
configured.
Condition: The identified block has inputs that are not configured but has
connected outputs. This error applies to the Trip Cycle time
monitor, Event Latches, and all configurable logic blocks.
Example 1: Error - Gate 1 has outputs connected but no inputs configured.
Gate 1 is connected to Gate 2 but Gate 1’s inputs are set to Not
Used.
Example 2: Error - Latch 3 has outputs connected but no inputs configured.

set to Not Used.
Example 3: Error - Event Latch 2 has outputs connected but no inputs
configured.
Event Latch 2 is connected to another block but Event Latch 2’s
Reset input is set to Not Used or no event inputs are configured.
Note: The exception to this check is User-Defined Test which is
allowed to be used and unconfigured since it can be started and
stopped from Modbus or the Front Panel.
5
Text: Error – <block identifier> is not used but has outputs connected.
Condition: The identified function is configured as ‘Not Used’ but has
connected outputs. This error applies to the User Defined Test,

8
Text: Error – <block identifier> is configured as discrete but has analog
outputs connected.
Condition: The identified analog/discrete input is configured as an discrete
input but has an output connected to an analog input function.
Example: Error – Input 4 is discrete but has analog outputs connected.
Trip Latch input 1 is configured as ‘Input 4 Hi Hi’ but Input 4 is
configured as a discrete input.

9
Text: Error – <block identifier> is in a circular configuration loop
Condition: A loop has been detected in the configuration. The identified
block is one of the blocks in this loop. Only one loop at a time is
and each block in the detected loop is identified. A Unit Delay (Z-1
equivalent) must be inserted in the loop to provide a break in the
loop.
Example: Error – Logic Gate 14 is in a circular configuration loop.
Error – Logic Gate 15 is in a circular configuration loop.
Error – Logic Gate 16 is in a circular configuration loop.
The configuration of the identified blocks creates a loop that
needs to be resolved. A Unit Delay block is required to break this
loop.
Example 2: Error – Logic Gate 34 is in a circular configuration loop.
Logic Gate 34 output is directly connected to its input, creating a
loop. A Unit Delay block is required between the output and the
input to break this loop.

10
Text: Warning – <block identifier> is used but has no outputs
configured.
Condition: The identified block has inputs that are configured but has no
connected outputs. This error applies to the Trip Cycle Time
Monitor function and the Event Latches.

inputs.

14
Text: Error – <block identifier> is set to an invalid or out-of-range
value.
Condition: The identified block has inputs that are configured to values that
are not allowed or are out of range. This error applies to the
Overspeed Trip Setting and the Temporary Overspeed Trip
Setting. These settings are not permitted to exceed the input
frequency range of 32 KHz.

15
Text: Error – Proposed configuration contains data that is invalid (out-
of-range).

Condition: A setting has been detected that is out of the range allowed. This
error condition needs to be corrected in the Programming and
Configuration Tool (PCT) and should be reported to Woodward
for correction.

Error Messages and Solutions

Configuration Error

If a configuration error exists, the Configuration Error Log must be reviewed. See
“View Configuration Error Log” section in this chapter.

NOTE: The configuration check is performed by the ProTechTPS after a settings

file is loaded to the ProTech. The PCT must be connected to the ProTechTPS to
see this log. The results are stored in volatile memory so a power cycle would
clear this log.
