The actuator unit represents the interface between the remote control and the main servo system, which performs the actual positioning of the blades. 3.1.1. Functional Description and Operating Instructions 3.1.1.1 Normal Control Refer to the PITCH ORDER/CONTROL figures. ‘The output from the pitch controller is computed on the basis of the input signals from pitch lever and the actuator position feedback. Lever and feedback signals are scaled and checked against adjustable limits, with corresponding alarm for values exceeding the normal range. Levers have one set of adjustments (minimum, zero and maximum) for each manoeuvre station, Multiple set of feedback adjustments (minimum, zero and maximum) are available for various engine power take-out. Lever order can be read at testpoint Pitch Lever (P_L_IN_00-05), while selected feedback is read at testpoint Pitch Feedback (P_FB_00). The order can additionally be selected from separate systems such as dynamic positioning or joystick systems ic. The selected order either from lever or separate system can be read at testpoint Pitch system order (P_SY_O_00). In Combined mode the lever signal is modified in a Combinator program, refer to chapter Pitch and Rpm Combined Control. Fixed or analogue pitch reductions are available which will limit the order, provided thatthe extemal conditions for limiting the propeller pitch ae fulfilled. The modified order can be monitored at testpoint Pitch Order (P_O_00). To provide a minimum of main engine/electric drive motor protection during manoeuvring ifthe Load control system is out of function, the system includes adjustable pitch acceleration (or crash) limits. ‘The acceleration limits slows the pitch speed essentially in positions that may cause excessive engine loads. However these limits will have no effect as long as the lever order is constant, Separate adjustments Crash Limits (S_P_L_00, port, STBD) are available, with an override switch Crash Limit Status (S_CR_ST_00) preventing the limits to operate in normal conditions. Testpoint Pitch Setpoint (P_SE_00) will show the pitch order including the eventual influence of the acceleration limits. ‘The pitch controller computes a position reference, which includes the optional function. The position reference is observed on testpoint Pitch Order Setpoint (P_O_SP_00). The setpoint is imited by adjustment Pitch Order Rate of Change (P_SR_00). ROLLS-ROYCE MARINE AS (q'pros\ordr\t6nx_anlege\8632\bexnst doe) Page: 26Instruction Manual HELICON-X Functions:Thruster Pitch Control PWM The signal Load Control Setpoint (LD_SP_00) is passed fiom the Load Controller. A pitch position setpoint is computed, based upon either the Pitch Order, or the Load Control Setpoint, depending on the loading of the engine, The setpoint value is compared to the actual feedback. The pitch feedback is normally represented on tag “P_FB_CL_00”. “P_FB_CL_01” can also be used in special eventualites. Testpoint Pitch Feedback (P_FB_00) shows the selected feedback. Testpoint Pitch Setpoint Error (P_SP_E_00) represents the deviation between the position reference and the position feedback and can be considered as a pitch actuator speed signal. ‘A deviation alarm function is available through general parameter "DE_CONT_00”. The fanction could be configured to either give waming alarm on testpoint “Pitch deviation alarm” (P_DE_AL_00) or both give alarm waming and emergency contro ‘The deviation alarm is based on comparing testpoint Pitch Setpoint Error (P_SP_E_00) withthe general parameter “Pitch Deviation Alarm Limit" (P_LDE_LM_00). The alarm delay is adjustable with general parameter "Pitch deviation alarm delay time” (P_DE_T1_00). When testpoint “Pitch Deviation External Conditions" (P_DE_CN_00) is activated the deviation alarm system is connected. The deviation signal is limited with the adjustment (P_E_L_00) and the result is input to the PID Controller and System Interface. Adjustment Pitch Controller Deadband (P_C_DB_00) limits ‘the output for small deviations that can be considered as noise. Pitch controller adjustments available are Pitch Gain (P_KC_00), Pitch Integral Time (P_TI_00), Pitch Integral Limit (P_TI_L_00), and Pitch Derivative Time (P_TD_00). ‘Testpoint Pitch Setpoint (P_C_O_00) will show the pitch order including the eventual influence of the acceleration limits. Adjustments Pitch Output Offvet (P_OU_P_00) consists of three parameters: Deadband, negative, positive offset (DB, NOFFS, POFFS). These adjustments adapt the signal to the actuator with respect to the minimum signal levels necessary to move the actuator in port or STBD direction, ‘The output signal from the pitch controller can be monitored at testpoint Pitch Output Order (P_O_OU_00). 3.1.4.2 PWM output ‘The thruster pitch controll has a “pwn” puls width modulated output to the pitch actuator. The ‘maximum puls width is set fixed to 60 milliseconds, comesponding to maximum, 100%, pitch order from the PID controller. Any other order will be modulated with pulses between 0-60 milliseconds. The pulsing frequency is adjustable. To avoid PWM modulation when high difference between pitch order and feedback, the PWM startpoint can be adjusted with parameter “P_PWM_L_00”.

The system includes pitch control by push buttons and pitch feedback indication on a panel meter. {fa failure occurs on important pasts for the pitch control function, the control will automatically be switched over to the bacleup control system. A system faifure audible and visible alarm will be activated on each of the control panels. The pitch can now be controlled by means of the push buttons “BACKUP STBD" and “BACKUP PORT”.

Motor The load control system is designed to protect the propeller machinery from overload. Propeller pitch is automatically reduced if the specified load limit is exceeded. ‘The drawing LOAD CONTROL EL.MOTOR describes the principle of the load control system The drawing shows load control system with interface to two Electric Drivemotors, two Generators and a power available from the power management systenvMSB , but only those parts relevant for the actual propulsion machinery are used. 3.2.1 Functional Description ‘The load controller computes the propeller machinery load based on the load feedback signal from the clectromotor. The feedback signal is monitored on input Drive Motor Feedback (D_FB_00) and scaled in percent of the load range. Ifa failure occurs in the load feedback transmitter, an alarm is given to the alarm plant with a corresponding error message on the operator terminal display. Separate adjustable alarm limits are available for load signal alarm. The load controller is then disabled until normal condition is obtained. Important: Observe the load conditions closely by manual reading if the load control is disabled for any reason. ‘Acceleration limits will protect the propeller machinery during crash manoeuvring, and will slow down the pitch rate of change when the pitch approaches maximum ahead or maximum astem position. However these limits will have no effect as long as the lever order remains constant. Adjustments Crash Limit, S_P_L_00 ADJ#0 (Astern) and ADJ#I (Ahead) will define the acceleration limits ‘The load controller selects the most suitable gains depending on the amount of overload. If excessive Toad should occur, the pitch reduction speed is proportional to the overload signal gained with adjustment Load Gain Overload (LD_O_GN_00). In normal load condition, the pitch is automatically increased slowly against the setpoint. Use adjustment Load Gain Underload (LD_U_GN_00) to control the pitch rate of change when returning back to setpoint from underload condition. In addition the adjustment Load Gain Derivative (LD_D_TD_00) is used as a derivative gain to increase the load controller effect when the load changes rapidly. Close to the maximum load that is within the loadsetting deadbands the controller will use very slow speed on pitch corrections. The loadsetting deadbands are defined with adjustments Load Deadband Under Loadlimit (LD_U_DB_00) and Load Deadband Over Loadlimit (LD_O_DB_00). The load control will only correct the pitch position in small steps. The time between each step is defined by the size of the Load Setpoint Signal (LD_O_SP_00) and adjustment Load Integral Limit (LD_FT_M_00). The size of the corrective step is defined with adjustment Load Filter Pulse (LD_FT_P_00).

Troubleshooting: Pitch Control Warnings 43 Pitch Control Warnings Al input signals to the remote control system are continuously monitored. Input values are compared to fixed limits. An alarm is released if input values exceed the limits, The alzrm is passed to the alarm plant. If the signal is essential to the contsol system, like order and feedback signals, system failure occurs and back-up control activates. Alarm on a signal that is not so essential to the control system is also passed to the alarm system, but back up control is not engaged. Such signal is defined as a WARNING. Warnings can be displayed in plaintext on the micro terminal by using the "STAT" key, refer to the chapter MICRO TERMINAL, 4.3.1 Load Signal Load signal failure will display the text DRIVE MOTOR LOAD 00 or LOAD SIGNAL 00, This text is displayed ifthe signal from the load feedback transmitter exceeds the alarm limits for more than a preset number of seconds (normally 20). These limits are adjustable. The back-up control is not engaged. The Load Controller is disengaged if error occurs. However the pitch acceleration limits are engaged to ensure a minimum of engine protection against crash manoeuvring (see chapter LOAD CONTROL). ‘Reasons(s) for failure on load transmitter can be: 22 power failure 2 broken wires 7 load feedback transmitter malfunction Refer to figure TROUBLESHOOTING PITCH CONTROL WARNINGS. ‘The etror condition is automatically cancelled ifthe load signal retus to normal 43.2. Pitch Joystick Order Pitch Joystick Order failure will display the text PITCH JOYSTICK ORDER 00. This text is displayed if the order signal from the Joystick system exceeds the alarm limits for more than a preset number of seconds (normally 10). These limits are adjustable, The back-up control isnot engaged. ‘The Joystick order signal is ignored if error occurs, and lever control mode is re-established. Reasons(s) for failure on Joystick Order signal can be: 2 power failure 2 broken wires 7 Joystick System malfunction For troubleshooting Joystick System failure, refer to the Instruction Manual for the Joystick System, Refer to figure TROUBLESHOOTING PITCH CONTROL WARNINGS.
