505 HMI Software
Woodward offers two different HMI software packages, OpView and 505View,
which allow an operator to remotely view operating inputs, adjust control
setpoints, issue Run mode commands, and monitor/troubleshoot the turbine
control. Both HMI packages are self-configuring which eliminates all field
engineering—they automatically configure their screens to match the control's
programmed application.

The OpView is comprised of an industrialized NEMA 4 touchscreen hardware
package bundles together with a Woodward developed software interface
program. The 505View is a unbundled Intellution-based software package that
runs on a pc (hardware can be optionally purchased). Both HMI packages are
pre-configured to communicate via Modbus® * protocol with either a 505 or 505E
Woodward steam turbine control and offer the following features.

Automatic Screen Generation based on control configuration
Security with multiple User Levels
Remote Access Capability1
Real-Time and Historical Trending2
Alarm/Trip Status Indication
Alarm/Trip Log with Time Tagging and First-Out Indication
I/O and System Troubleshooting
Graphic System Control screens
Event Status Logging and History3

1 505View only
2 OpView has Real-Time Trending only; 505View has both
3 OpView has Logging only; 505View has Logging and History
automatically configures its screens to match the 505E’s programmed
application. If the 505E is not configured to accept Modbus commands, the HMI
functions as a system monitor only. If the 505E is configured to accept Modbus
commands, all 505E Run Mode operations can be monitored and performed
through it (start, stop, mode enable/disable, setpoint raise/lower). For safety
purposes, the Overspeed test function can not be performed through the HMI.
See Volume 1. Chapter 7 of this manual for more information on programming
Modbus ports.
User-friendly touch screens allow operators to view and control multiple modes of
operation and setpoints from one screen. Ten different screens are available to
allow operators the flexibility of viewing. These screens display the following
information:
Controlling parameter information
Complete starting sequences
Turbine and/or Generator information
Speed, Extr/Adm, Aux, Casc, & Limiter information
Analog Input and Output levels
Contact Input and Relay Output states
Alarm and Shutdown Log
The OpView or 505View can interface with the 505E through serial RS232.
RS422. or RS485 communications. By using RS422 or RS485 communications,
the HMI can be located up to 4.000ft (1.220meters) from the 505E digital control.
Digital Remote Final Driver
Digital Remote Final Driver (DRFD) is used to interface the 505E digital control to
existing valve operators or Woodward actuators that are integrating in action or
are not compatible with the 505E.
The 505E’s actuator outputs have the capability of driving a 4–20 mA or 20–160
mA (200 mA max) proportional signal into an actuator coil. These 505E actuator
output signals represent a demand signal equal to desired valve position
(proportional). If the application’s actuator or servo assembly requires a different
drive signal, or control action (integrating with a null setting), a Digital Remote
Final Driver or equivalent device must be used.
Woodward Digital Remote Final Drivers accept a 4–20 mA actuator-drive signal
proportional to desired valve position, and position a servo assembly accordingly.
Integrating or proportional type DRFDs are available depending on the servo
assembly being interfaced to. Woodward DRFDs have the capability of driving
unipolar or bipolar actuator demand signals, up to 0–400 mA or +400 mA
respectively.

The Digital Remote Final Driver is housed in a NEMA-4X enclosure with a hinged
cover and consists of driver and power supply modules. The driver module uses
plug-in jumpers and an alphanumeric display to facilitate field configuration and
calibration.
Proportional type DRFDs can provide an output drive signal of up to 400 mA, to
be compatible with existing servo assemblies. This drive signal is proportional to
the 4–20 mA input signal received from the 505E digital control.
Integrating type DRFDs sense actual valve position (through, LVDTs, RVDTs,
MLDTs, or DC position feedback devices), compare this signal to the input
position demand signal from the 505E, and output a drive signal to position a
servo assembly accordingly. See Figure 1-2.
Please refer to Woodward Product Spec 85532 for more information on DRFDs
and their capabilities.
Real Power Sensor
A Real Power Sensor is used to sense the real power produced by a generator
or flowing through a tie line. Woodward Real Power Sensors sense three-phase
volts, three-phase amps, compare each phase’s voltage to current relationship,
and develop a 4–20 mA output proportional to real power.
Woodward manufactures two types of Real Power Sensors. The first type of RPS
is designed to sense power flow in one direction only (0 to +5 A CT current only),
and output a proportional 4–20 mA signal. This type of RPS was designed for
