displayed on the right hand LCD screen. When multiple alarms are
logged, the up and down scroll keys will allow you to navigate within
the active alarm list. The Alarm History Event log will store up to
100 events, as more events happen the oldest alarms will be
dropped off to make room for the newer events. These events will
be cleared on a reset of power.

 ServLink Software
• ServLink is a proprietary serial communications protocol
developed by Woodward for the specific purpose of
communicating from PC’s to Woodward controls
• The EGCP-3, EGCP-2, 723Plus, In-Pulse Plus, and MicroNet
controls support the ServLink protocol

 ServLink Main Screen
• Create the Network Definition File using ServLink software.
Choose File and then New.

50
 Opening Communications To A Control
• Before communications can begin between the server and a
control, you must first create a network definition file.
• To create a network definition file choose New ... under the file
menu.
• Before the file can be created the server will prompt you to set the
network options.
• You must specify the port the control is connected to, the baud
rate, the mode of communications, and the parity and stop bits.
• Once all the network options are set click OK to begin the network
scan.
• If the mode is set to be Master/Salve, it may take several minutes to
complete the network scan.
• Once the symbol tables are read, the network definition file will be
complete and can be saved for future retrieval.
51
 Communication Screen
• Set the Port to Com 1, Mode to Point to Point, and Baud Rate to 115200.
Choose OK.
