Introduction
Application Overview Steam turbines are used in a variety of applications from large scale power
generation in the megawatt range to small utility installations under a hundred
horsepower in the oil and gas industry. Regardless of the size of the turbine, a
governor is required to regulate the turbines speed to control the load.
Additionally, a steam turbine cannot be taken from zero speed to operation speed
in a single step. The SVST governor manages the start-up sequence to achieve the
turbines normal operational speed and provides speed regulation during
operation using internal capacity control or external speed setpoints. The SVST
is designed to be flexible and easy to configure for virtually any application.

At the factory, all the SVST required components are mounted, wired, and
installed inside the unit's enclosure.
Unpack Components
All items must be removed from their packaging and checked against the packing
list. Verify that all items are correct and contact Rockwell Automation if any
discrepancies are found. Before unpacking any items, the packaging must be
inspected for damage that may have occurred during shipment.
If any packaging is damaged, the package identifying marks (such as box number
or crate number) must be noted and communicated back to Rockwell
Automation. The package must be stored in a suitable storage area in the
condition it was received. Rockwell Automation will contact the shipping agent
who may request to inspect the damage. The package must not be opened
without the express written permission of Rockwell Automation.
Inspection
Visually inspect the cabinets for mechanical damage. Check the paintwork
for scratches and abrasions.
Verify that the cabinet door opens and closes and that all latches operate
smoothly.
Verify cable assemblies to make sure they were not damaged during
shipment. All wireducts should be fitted with covers and all cable
assemblies should be appropriately dressed with cable ties and/or spiral
wrap.

4. Remove the enclosure and drill the necessary holes for the bottom bolts.
5. Insert the bolts through the holes just drilled and into the wall, leaving
enough space for the brackets to fit between the heads of the bolts and the
wall. DO NOT tighten the bolts at this time.
6. Place the enclosure on the wall with the bottom brackets sliding over the
bolts as far down as they can go.
Note: Be careful to support the unit well.
7. Mark the wall through the holes in the top two mounting brackets and
then remove the enclosure from the wall.
10. Insert bolts through the holes in the top two mounting holes of the
enclosure and into the wall.
11. Tighten all the bolts as appropriate for the mounting surface.
Power Distribution and The system can be powered by 24V DC or 120V AC. Connect power to
terminals shown in the supplied wiring drawings. Terminal locations are
Grounding identified in the photograph below.
There are two ground connections that must be connected before power is
applied to the system.
AC SAFETY GROUND is for all exposed metal surfaces of cabinets,
racks, chassis ground connections, etc. All individual ground wiring
interconnections are to be a minimum of 16 AWG copper wire, green
insulation.
INSTRUMENT GROUND is for all DC analog/digital signal cable
shield wires. Reference ground wiring interconnections are to be a
minimum of 18 AWG copper wire, green insulation with yellow tracer.
ATTENTION: Good ground connections must be verified before any work can be
carried out by any Rockwell Automation or client personnel. Failure to comply
can cause serious injury.
First-Time Powerup First-time powerup must be done in stages to guard against system-wide power
distribution faults. The systems power distribution must be verified against the
power distribution drawings.
1. Switch all circuit breakers to the Off position and open all fuses.
2. Energize the 24V DC or 120V AC feed and verify voltage at main
incoming terminals.
3. Close each 120V AC circuit breaker one at a time and verify that the
corresponding power supply is energized.
4. Measure the output voltage of the power supply and verify that it is
delivering 24V DC.
5. Close each 24V DC fuse one at a time and verify that the corresponding
equipment receives 24V DC by measuring at the power terminals of the
receiving equipment.
6. Close all 24V DC fuses, checking that the system powers up as expected.
Digital Inputs The SVST has 16 digital inputs powered by 24V DC. All inputs are prewired
from marshalling terminal blocks (TS1) to the module-specific removable
terminal blocks (RTB).
Notes:
Channels 8, 9, 10, and 11 must have a jumper on their corresponding TS1
terminals when not in use.
Accessories (push buttons) for use on Channels 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7 are
not provided with the unit. Accessories must be purchased and installed
separately as needed. Similar functionality is provided with the units
HMI.
Use a momentary push button (N.O. contact) for Channel 0 and
Channel 5 will provide turbine raise/lower functionality.
Use a two-position selector for Channel 6 and Channel 7.
Use a two-position switch with spring return to center for Channel 2
and Channel 3.
Digital Outputs The SVST governor has 16 digital outputs powered by 24V DC. All outputs are
prewired from marshalling terminal blocks (TS2) to the module-specific
removable terminal blocks.
Note: The turbine trip relay (channel 0) can be configured for N.O. (pin 14) or
N.C. (pin 12) contacts (common pin 11.)
Speed Inputs The SVST governor can handle from one to three magnetic pickups. Speed in
revolutions per minute is a function of the MPU signal in Hz and the gear
number of teeth.

Description used as the interface for configuration and operation of the SVST. The
PanelView Plus Compact HMI is installed on the unit control panel, and wiring
for power and communications are provided from the factory. An optional
PanelView Plus Compact 600 HMI can be ordered for this application.
Notes:
Activate the HMI The operator interface for the SVST requires entry of a unique Activation Key
ID to activate the HMI for use. Until the HMI has been successfully activated,
the HMI will only display the following dialog box. In most cases, the HMI will
be activated by the factory, however if this is not the case, follow the procedure
below.
Note: The characters in the Key ID are not case sensitive. Only enter the
eight characters and do not enter any dashes, spaces, or other symbols. For
example, if your agent provides the key ID of 23F4-60BC, only enter the
eight characters of 23F460BC (or 23f460bc), omitting the dash symbol.

SVST Configuration
This chapter includes the start-up sequence and parameters to configure the
SVST governor. It also describes how to upload and download parameters.
Configure the SVST The governor has various settings that can be adjusted, allowing it to be used in
different steam turbine applications. You can configure the unit by using either of
these methods:
The PanelView terminal covered in this chapter
The SVST PC Configuration Tool covered in AppendixA PC
Configuration Tool
The SVST time diagram below is presented to help understand the relationship
between speed and control mode during the start-up sequence.
2. Closed-Loop Acceleration
Description
Process 1. After the turbine reaches the minimum control speed, the governors closed-loop
acceleration phase is initiated.
2. In closed-loop phase, the speed setpoint ramps up to the next idle speed or, if no idle
speeds were configured, to operation speed.
3. Idle Speeds
Description
Number of Idle Speeds The SVST can handle up to two idle speeds.
Configure Idle speeds and acceleration rates are configurable for each of the two thermal conditions
(cold or not cold.)
Reach Idle Speed When reaching an idle speed, the setpoint is held for the configured turbine soak period(1).
(1) Soak period is a term that describes the amount of time at which the speed is held to allow the machines casing to thermally
expand and catch up to the rotor assembly.
5. Speed Control
Description
Conditions Turbine speed is between Minimum and Maximum Governor.
Run State After the acceleration phase, the governor switches to the run state where the speed can be
controlled within the minimum and maximum governor limits.
Raise and Lower The SVST uses the Raise and Lower commands to increase or decrease the speed setpoint.
Commands A speed setpoint is also available using the HMI.
6. Overspeed Test
ATTENTION: To avoid an overspeed condition and possible personal injury or
equipment damage, equip the turbine with an external shutdown device that
provides an overspeed protection system according to American Petroleum
Institute standards 612 or 670.
Description
Purpose The overspeed mode allows increasing the speed reference above the maximum governor
limit for testing external overspeed protection devices.
Process 1. Set the speed reference to the max governor speed.
2. When the speed reaches the max governor speed, press the overspeed test button
(maintained function).
3. The governor will switch to the overspeed test mode.
4. Take the speed reference up to the max control speed using the Raise speed button.
Alarm and Trip If the turbine speed goes above the external trip device and no trip is detected, an alarm
Conditions is generated.
If the speed goes above max control speed, the governor trips.
When the overspeed test is not enabled, and speed goes above the external trip device
setpoint, the turbine trips.
Note: Refer to Chapter 6 Operation for more details about the SVST operation.
Configuration Parameters To access the configuration parameters within the HMI, on the main tool bar
press the Maintenance icon.
Note: Tables for configuration parameters use these measurements and
information:
Speeds are in revolutions per minute (rpm).
Acceleration rates are in rpm/sec.
Position measurements are in percent.
Increment or decrement rates are in percent per second.
All load values are in percent and rates are in percent per second.
N.A. means Not Applicable.
TBD means To be Determined, meaning that the application is so specific
that no suggestions are available.
Use the up and down arrow buttons next to the Select heading to
select the various configuration pages.
Speed Page 1
Speed Page 1 defines the settings related to the speed ranges that the governor
uses for the turbine startup and operation.
Speed Page 2
Speed Page 2 defines the use of cold or warm start-up acceleration, overspeed trip
and alarm settings, and critical speed bands.
For parameter 12, the remote control configuration option is an integer value
with four possible selections:
0: Remote Speed Setpoint via Analog Input
1: Remote Speed Setpoint via Modbus
2: Auxiliary PID
3: Generator Control
The number of magnetic pickups, operation, and warm-up timers are on the
Speed Pickup and Timer Configuration screen.

4 MP1 channel in use 01 1 1
5 MP2 channel in use 01 1 1
6 MP3 channel in use 01 0 1
7 Turbine cold status stopped time (hours) 01000 12 12
8 Idle1 cold hold time (soak period in seconds) 03600 600 600
9 Idle2 cold hold time (soak period in seconds) 03600 600 900
10 Idle1 not cold hold time (soak period in seconds) 03600 300 300
11 Idle2 not cold hold time (soak period in seconds) 03600 0 300
For parameter 3, the magnetic pickups degradation works as shown in Table 13.
Notes:
Not used in Table 13 means parameters 4, 5, and/or 6 are set to 0.
For parameters 4, 5, and 6, set the value to 1 when the corresponding
channel has a magnetic pickup signal connected.
Table 13 does not show all possible channels permutations.
Governor Valve
Use this page to configure settings related to the governor valve. Table 14 shows
the configuration parameters.
Details:
For parameter 10, set this value to a number greater than 0, for example,
5% if your valve has a tight shutoff and flow of steam begins to build when
the opening is more than 5%.
For parameter 11, set this value to 1 when the close position limit switch is
connected to the SVST. If the system detects that the stop valve is closed, it
wont allow the sequence to get ready for startup. If this value is set to 0,
this permissive would be bypassed.
Actuator Page 1
Actuator Page 2
Generator
If the SVST is used to drive a generator, this configuration page allows the
generator load characteristics to be configured. Table 17 shows the configuration
parameters.
When the turbine is running and the speed is within 40 rpm of the
synchronization speed (for example, 3600 rpm), the governor speed setpoint in
rpm/second is limited to the values in parameter 10 and 11 in Table 17. This
helps prevent hunting and overshoot during the synchronization process.
Trip Settings
Use the Trip Settings page to configure trip settings and other miscellaneous
values. Table 18 shows the configuration parameters.
Details:
If there is a difference between the speed setpoint and the actual turbine
speed greater than the value of parameter 3, a timer will start and the
turbine will trip, with a loss of speed control indication if the elapsed time
exceeds the value in parameter 4.
Speed PID
Use this page to configure settings related to the speed PID function. Table 19
shows the configuration parameters.
Parameters 6 and 7 contain the speed setpoint acceleration and deceleration rates
in rpm/second that the governor uses when in the run state.
Auxiliary PID
Use this page to configure settings related to the Auxiliary PID function.
Table 20 shows the configuration parameters.
Details:
Parameter 6 is the setpoint ramp rate in engineering units per second. For
example, if controlling pressure in psig and this value is set to 10, the
controller will limit the setpoint to 10 psig/sec.)
Parameter 8 contains the deadband for controller output, in other words,
the controller stops calculating the output when the error is within the
defined deadband.
Parameter 11 defines the controller action.
When set to 1, it is direct action, defined as an increasing PV increases
the Output.
When set to 0, it is reverse action, defined as a decreasing PV increases
the Output.
Parameter 12 places the PID to setpoint track the PV when the loop is in
manual.
Parameter 13 defines independent PID terms when set to 0.
Parameter 14 defines the proportional term based on error when set to 1.
When set to 0, the proportional term is based on PV.
MaxGov PID
Use this page to configure settings related to the Maximum Governor Limiter
PID function. Table 21 shows the configuration parameters.
This function overrides the speed PID controller when the speed goes above
maximum governor plus the defined threshold in parameter 6. Set your gains
equal to or greater than your speed PID gains.
Modbus
Use this page to configure settings related to the Modbus serial port. Table 22
shows the configuration parameters.
Note: Refer to Chapter 7 Modbus Interface of this manual for details regarding
the Modbus interface.
Auxiliary PID PV
Use this page to configure settings related to configuration of the Auxiliary PID
PV. Table 23 shows the configuration parameters.
Details:
Parameter 5 specifies the alarm deadband if parameters 6 or 7 are set to 1.
Parameter 6 is set to 1 if a high alarm is required.
Parameter 7 is set to 1 if a low alarm is required.
Parameter 8 is set to 0 if linear scaling is required, or set to 1 to enable
square root extraction.
Parameter List Configuration All pages and parameters must be configured and downloaded to the controller.
It is possible to edit (configure) a single parameter at a time or edit all the
parameters per page in a single step by editing values as required, saving, and
downloading the changes to the controller.
Note: For safety reasons, the configuration parameters cant be changed while the
turbine is running. When the turbine is running, the button shows a
padlock symbol to indicate that it is locked. However, the parameters can be
updated on the Parameter Details screen (restored) for reading if the turbine is
running.
Use the Parameter Configuration screen on the HMI to view and configure the
parameter s by following these steps.
1. Press to close any open pop-up screens and return to a main screen
showing the navigation toolbar.
The functions performed when using the parameter list action buttons are

Configuration Example 1
The following example illustrates an SVST application. Table 26 lists the data
available for the example application.
Cold Warm
Idle 1: 1000 rpm Idle 1: 1000 rpm
Idle 1 Soak Period: 10 min Idle 1 Soak Period: 5 min
Idle 2: 3000 rpm Idle 2: -----------
Idle 2 Soak Period: 10 min Idle 2 Soak Period: 0 min
Operation Speed: 3600 rpm Operation Speed: 3600 rpm
Speed Regulation 5% Speed Regulation 5%
External Overspeed Trip @ 110% of Operation Speed External Overspeed Trip @ 110% of Operation Speed
Acceleration: 250 rpm/min Acceleration: 500 rpm/min
Down time > 12 hours
Sometimes the data available for a given application cant be directly entered into
the configuration parameter table. In these cases, a good level of understanding of
the machine that is going to be controlled is required.
Step 2: Identify the minimum and maximum governor, using the 5% speed
regulation data. It is desirable to control the speed between 3420 rpm and 3780
rpm, with 5% of the operation speed being at 180 rpm.
Step 3: Identify the overspeed trip setting, given that the external overspeed trip
device should trip at 110% of the operation speed. Therefore 3600 x 1.1 = 3960
rpm. This also means that the maximum control speed needs to be set above
3960 rpm to allow the overspeed test to be performed, therefore maximum
control speed is 4000 rpm.
Finally, the generator control data doesnt provide the initial load for the
generator or load rates. For this example, we will use 5% as the initial load, with
1% per second as the initial load rate and 2% per second as the regular load/
unload rate.
Note: The above example is for generator control where the grid frequency is 60
Hz and the generator number of poles is 2, synchronous speed = 120 f /p, where f
is in units of Hz and p is the number of poles. For countries where the grid
frequency is 50 Hz, if the generator is a 2-poles machine, then synchronous speed
= 120 x 50 / 2, which is 3000 rpm.
IMPORTANT Although the data presented here represent an actual application, it is used for
example purposes only. You must gather and use the data specific to your
application.
Configuration Example 2
The following example illustrates another SVST application. Table 27 lists the
data available for the example application.
Step 1: Consolidate a critical band that works for both the turbine and
compressor (for example, 28004500 rpm.) It is recommended to set the values
with some margin, so our margin is around 250 rpm. Also, the delta is 1700 rpm,
so at 170 rpm/second, the critical stall timer should set around 1012 seconds.
Step 2: Identify the relationship that describes the steam flow versus the control
valve position, sometimes known as characterization. Table 28 shows that
relationship for this example.
IMPORTANT Although the data presented here represent an actual application, it is used for
example purposes only. You must gather and use the data specific to your
application.
Operation
This chapter describes the process of putting the SVST into operation. It also
describes the remote control features available after the turbine is in operation.
Table 29 speed configuration settings are used as the basis for the examples in this
chapter to demonstrate the application features. For instructions for configuring
parameters, refer to Chapter 5 SVST Configuration.
Governor States The SVST uses a software state engine to control phases of the turbine startup
and operation. The turbine startup is a sequential process to take the machine
from zero speed up to operation speed. Therefore, at any given time the governor
uses a state to represent its current operation, for example, Acceleration.

The initial state is Shutdown. The SVST application goes to this state
whenever these conditions are detected:
System powerup
Any interlock is active (turbine trip)
The button for the Interlocks screen turns red when an interlock is active.
When the system is ready to be reset, the Master Reset button is available;
otherwise it is dimmed.
Governor Valve Manual For calibration and maintenance purposes only, the SVST lets you to manually
stroke the governor valve. This operation can be performed in two ways,
Stroke supervised (default) and not supervised.
When performing the supervised manual stroke, the governor checks for the stop
valve status and speed detection.
The turbine stop valve must be closed.
The turbine should be at zero speed.
The SVST application enters the Not Ready state when these conditions are met:
Stop valve is closed.
Interlocks are clear.
IMPORTANT When the stop valve is closed and its position is confirmed in the field, the
manual stroke can proceed.

Perform Calibration
When you initially enter the new CV, the new value does not go to the
controller until you confirm it. Before confirmation, you can change the
value to zero or to the previous value.
In this view, the yellow arrow indicates that the entered CV has been
pushed to the governor valve output.
2. Complete the calibration procedure/check by changing the CV value as
required from minimum to maximum position.
After you have finished the calibration procedure, complete these steps.
4. If the trip valve has a closed status limit switch indication, configure it
using the HMI configuration in Parameters Screen Page 4 shown below.
The Not Supervised manual stroke can be used for the following:
Calibration of the governor valve
Calibration of magnetic pickups or speed sensors
Checking an external overspeed protection system without running the
governor through the automated start-up sequence
When the unit doesn't have a limit switch to indicate the stop valve closed
position or speed detection is allowed (in other words, magnetic pickups
calibration), follow these steps.
2. Press .
The Governor Valve Enable Not Supervised Man. Stroke screen appears.
The manual stroke is enabled, as shown in the illustration below. Note that
the stop valve status is Open even though the Manual button is enabled.
Perform Calibration
Complete the steps in Perform Calibration beginning on page 65. These steps let
you enter a new CV value, for example, 5% (as shown here).
After you enter and confirm a value for CV, it goes to governor valve analog
output, and speed detection is allowed without cancelling the operation.
However, if the speed reaches the External Protection Overspeed Trip Setpoint,
then an overspeed trip is generated.
After you have finished the calibration procedure, complete these steps.
Note: This is necessary because when a Not Supervised manual stroke has
been enabled, the governor moves to the Not Ready state and the
permissive for governor valve at minimum position is lost.
3. Return to the Home Screen Page 3.
Thermal Condition Before starting the turbine, it is necessary to select the machines current thermal
condition. The SVST uses these two thermal conditions:
Cold
Not Cold (warm)
To check the current thermal condition, navigate to the Home Screen Page 4.
You can select the means by which to set the thermal condition status using either
of these options:
Calculated by the controller based on the turbine stopped time. This
setting, which is configurable, is the number of hours after which the
system automatically sets the thermal condition to cold.
Manually selected from the HMI. This procedure is described as follows.
To manually select the status for the current condition, complete these steps.
The view of the display changes. Notice that buttons are available to select
either condition, cold or not cold. In this example, the current condition is
cold.
3. Confirm idle speeds for Cold and Not Cold, located on the Home Screen
Page 5.
4. Confirm acceleration rates for Cold and Not Cold, located on the Home
Screen Page 6.
Interlocks and Permissives Interlocks and Permissives must be cleared prior to a turbine startup.
An Interlock is a condition that needs to be normal (healthy) in order to
operate. The SVST governor does not move from the shutdown state
when any interlock signal remains active. All interlocks must be healthy to
move from the shutdown state.
A Permissive is a condition that needs to be healthy in order to start, but
after the sequence has started, the healthy condition can be lost without
affecting the system.
Interlocks
To check the status of the Interlocks, on the tool bar, press (or .)
The current status of Interlocks displays (Figure 48). When an interlock signal is
healthy, its status is displayed as a green check mark.
When the turbine E-stop button is pressed, several actions take place.
The interlock screen changes to the tripped (unhealthy) status for that
interlock, as in Figure 49.
Notice that the External Trip 1 is marked as active, however, the Turbine
EStop remains marked as the first output trip signal.
The interlock signals are latched by the controller.
To reset interlocks, they must return to the healthy condition and when
this happens, the reset interlock button becomes available. In Figure 50,
the interlock reset button is dimmed, indicating that the interlocks cannot
be reset, whereas in Figure 51, the interlocks have cleared but are still
latched, the reset button is active, and the interlocks can now be reset.
When the Reset button is pressed, the interlock page updates (Figure 52).
Figure 52 - Interlock Screen Page 1 Reset pushed with all clear status
External Trips 13
If any of external trips 13 are not used, there are options to make them appear
healthy, allowing clearing interlocks and getting ready to start.
Jumper their corresponding marshalling terminals. (See Chapter 3 SVST
Hardware Description - Digital Inputs.)
Invert their signal polarity through the HMI. (See Inverting Signal
Polarity for External Trips on page 77.)
Apply a bypass through the HMI. This is similar to inverting signal
polarity, however, when a bypass is applied, the alarm status remains active.
(See Apply a Bypass on page 79.)
2. Press .
The Interlock Configuration screen appears.
Figure 53 shows the interlock status when each of the unused external trips is
ready to be reset. After the reset is applied, they should become healthy (with a
green check mark.) An interlock reset is required since they are latched by the
application.
IMPORTANT Rockwell Automation recommends the use of normally energized signals for
these interlocks:
Turbine E-stop
External Trip1
External Trip2
External Trip3
Apply a Bypass
You can apply a bypass similar to the Invert Signal Polarity process, but this time
checking the Bypassable boxes instead of the Invert boxes, as described below.
2. Press .
The Interlock Configuration screen appears with default settings.
Unlike inverting a signal, a bypass can be applied at any time (Figure 55), whereas
it is not possible to invert signals when the turbine is running.
Permissives
The Permissives screen is used to check the status of the permissives. To access
this screen, press . The Permissives screen has one page. Healthy permissive
signals display a green check mark.
Similar to interlocks, the permissive screen shows the first output event and status
of each permissive.
The permissive signals arent latched by the controller, therefore when they return
to normal (healthy), the display updates this condition and no reset is required.
Before the SVST will start, all interlocks and permissives must be cleared. The
transitions between the states are explained in Table 32 and illustrated thereafter.
Shutdown: The governor goes to Shutdown state when any interlock or trip
signal is activated.
Not Ready: The governor moves from Shutdown to Not Ready when all
interlocks are clear but there is one or more permissive missing.
Permissive Screen: Stop Valve Not Closed Home Screen Page 2: Not Ready status

Start-up Sequence
IMPORTANT Under this condition, the turbine cant be started. Check the settings, and if you
cant clear this condition after you have entered the proper information to the
controller, contact Rockwell Automation for support.
When ready to start, the Home Screen Page 2 should look like Figure 59.
Minimum control speed is the speed at which the governor can start
accelerating the turbine in a closed-loop control strategy. Consider these
factors:
Magnetic pickups reading
Steam flow through the governor valve
The speed input module (HSC) starts sensing speed when enough voltage
is generated by the magnetic pickups.
Minimum voltage is approximately 5.4 volts peak-to-peak.
Maximum is 60 volts peak-to-peak.
Depending on the sensor type and air gap, the minimum speed reading
could be as low as 200 rpm.
In addition to the speed sensing, it is also required that the control valve be
able to regulate the steam flow through the turbine. For example, if the
speed input module starts sensing speed around 200 rpm and the governor
valve can control speed around 500 rpm and above, then the minimum
control speed should be adjusted to 500 rpm.
Note: If the fail-safe timer expires before reaching minimum control speed,
the turbine trips.
When the acceleration is halted, the governor switches to Hold (Figure 61).
A typical start-up trend should look like Figure 62. This figure shows:
The governor valve (blue pen) ramping up
The turbine (red pen) picking up speed
Minimum control speed achieved (intersection of blue pen and red pen)
The governor controlling the speed from this point
Finally, the speed is held, for example for tuning
After the speed controller is tuned, this operation doesnt need to be performed
unless conditions change.
Manual Operation
Manual manipulation of the governor valve when the turbine is running is not
allowed. However, it is possible to halt the start-up sequence using the Hold
command and then increase or decrease the speed setpoint using the Raise and
Lower speed commands. The speed controls can be accessed from the Home
Screen Page 3 (Figure 63).

Idle Speeds
When the initial tuning and checkup is completed, the acceleration can be
Also, you can check the current elapsed time by navigating to Page 4. Figure 65
shows:
The current thermal condition is Not Cold.
The current speed is Idle1.
The current configuration has an idle time of 1:30s.
The elapsed time is 1:19s.
The SVST can handle two idle speeds with different acceleration rates and hold
times, so in the same manner, when reaching Idle2 the corresponding state on
Page 2 (Figure 66) and hold time on Page 4 (Figure 67) update accordingly.
If you press during the idle time, the governor moves to hold state
and cancels the idle timer. Pressing initiates the acceleration again.
In our example configuration, there is a critical speed band from 11001400 rpm
and a second one from 31003300 rpm. The trend in Figure 68 shows how the
governor accelerates the turbine more quickly through the critical band. Notice
the step in setpoint and governor valve output. The two idle speeds of 1000 and
3000 rpm can also be seen on the trend.
Running State After the acceleration state is completed, the governor enters the running state.
The turbine speed is controlled between minimum and maximum governor
which defines its operating range. This speed is called run speed, and in our
configuration example it is 3600 rpm.
The operation screen showing the current state indicates Running (Figure 69).
After reaching the Running state, the speed PID updates these screen items:
The Remote push button is enabled.
A numeric entry (white) is available to enter a new setpoint.
When the governor is running and is in local mode, the setpoint can be changed
from the HMI (white numeric entry) or by using the raise and lower inputs. The
setpoint is limited to a value between minimum and maximum governor. The
acceleration rate is limited to the run acceleration rate.
A keypad appears.
3. Press .
The new setpoint is displayed (Figure 71). The new speed setpoint value
does not immediately transfer to the controller.
When you press , the setpoint is taken by the controller and it is ramped,
in this case from 3600...3620 rpm, at the configured running SP increment/
decrement rate, for this example 10 rpm/s.
When the new setpoint has reached the target of 3620 rpm, the faceplate displays
a link (green arrow shown in Figure 72) between the target setpoint and the
current setpoint indicating that they match.
Local and Remote Control The SVST allows remote control of the speed setpoint. Only one option can be
enabled for a particular application. The type of option selected cannot be
changed while the turbine is in operation.
3 Generator control
The SVST can be configured for a remote speed setpoint signal. The speed PID
only takes this remote reference when the governor has reached the running
condition. There are two modes that the remote speed reference functions for the
SVST.
High Select Default mode is a high select between the local and remote
setpoint.
Remote Control A second mode is used when the SVST is switched to
remote control using the HMI push button.
The remote analog input setpoint is a 420 mA signal that the SVST scales from
minimum governor 4 mA to maximum governor 20 mA. The remote speed
setpoint value is shown just below the current speed setpoint numeric display
(CSP).
High Select
With the default high select mode, the speed PID setpoint is the higher between
the local and remote speed reference. The SVST has rates in rpm/s for increasing
or decreasing the setpoint from either source, local or remote. Should the remote
speed reference fail, the SVST reverts to the local setpoint. Note that when using
this mode, the local setpoint does not track the remote signal; however, the Raise
or Lower speed buttons can be used at any time to increase or decrease the local
setpoint.
Figure 74 shows the speed PID faceplate, where the local setpoint is 3600 rpm,
while the remote reference is 3420 rpm. Therefore, the PID uses 3600 rpm, the
higher of the two values.
Current Setpoint
Remote Setpoint
Similarly, when the remote signal is higher than the local setpoint, the faceplate
shows that the PID is using the remote reference. Note the green arrow indicating
the remote signal is being used.
Current Setpoint
Remote Setpoint
Note that when using the default high select function, the overspeed test can be
enabled only if the local setpoint is taken to maximum governor.
Remote Control
When switched to remote control, the speed PID uses the remote speed
reference, while the local setpoint tracks the current speed. This provides a
smooth transfer between local and remote operation.
Figure 76 shows the speed PID faceplate when remote control is selected. Note
how the local setpoint is tracking the current speed, while the current setpoint
CSP is increasing to reach the desired target of 3779 rpm (Figure 77).

The SVST checks for analog input integrity. If the signal fails, the governor
switches from remote back to local and the setpoint will match the current
turbine speed. An alarm is generated on remote setpoint analog input failure.
Under this condition, the remote button is unavailable until the failure is
corrected. After the failure is fixed, the Remote button is available again and can
be changed back to remote setpoint if desired.
The SVST governor has a built-in RS-232 serial port that can be used for
Modbus communications. For details on the Modbus parameters and available
registers, refer to Chapter 7 Modbus Interface.
In order to write a new setpoint via the Modbus link, there are two actions that
need to be performed by the remote device (such as DCS).
The setpoint value needs to be written to the holding register 40001.
A confirmation bit needs to be set (pulse type) on coil 0004.
The holding register contains a 16-bit value within the configured Modbus
range. For example, if the Modbus range is 04096, and if the remote device tries
to write 3600 rpm, the holding register must be written with 2048.
The SVST serial port functions as a slave RTU Modbus protocol device. It is the
responsibility of the Modbus master to check the integrity of the Modbus link.
The auxiliary PID function allows the SVST to control a process variable by
indirectly controlling the turbine speed. For example, the steam turbine can be a
driver for a blower and the discharge pressure of the blower can be controlled by
increasing/decreasing the turbine speed via the auxiliary PID. In other words, the
auxiliary PID produces a cascade setpoint to the speed PID controller.
When the auxiliary PID control option has been configured, it is possible to get
access to the PID faceplate from the Home Screen Page 4. The Home Screen
Page 4 displays the turbine thermal condition selection during startup (shown in
Figure 16 on page 28), however when the startup is completed, this page is
replaced by the auxiliary PIDs faceplate, shown in Figure 81.
The auxiliary PID tracks the speed controller output when it isnt enabled; this
allows a smooth transfer control. In order to enable it, from page 3, change to
remote by pressing .
When enabled, a numeric entry for the auxiliary PID setpoint is available and the
setpoint can be changed.
In the same manner as the speed PID, the auxiliary PID requires confirmation
When the new setpoint is entered, the PID controller updates its output, trying
to the reach the target SP. The setpoint uses a ramp function in percent/sec.
The speed controller now uses the cascaded speed setpoint to adjust the turbine
speed as required by the process.
As with any standard PID controller, it is possible to change the PID mode to
manual. When the loop is placed in manual mode by pressing , you can
manipulate this output to produce an indirect setpoint to the speed controller.
For example, if the CV is changed to 50%, the speed controller ramps the
setpoint to 3600 rpm. (Recalling our configuration example, the minimum
governor was 3420 rpm and the maximum governor was 3780 rpm, therefore
50% of the span corresponds to 3600 rpm.)
The process to enter a new CV value is the same used to enter a new setpoint for
the PID:
If the auxiliary PID PV fails, the speed controller changes to operate using a local
setpoint, and an alarm is generated to alert this condition. The remote button is
unavailable until the failure is cleared. This behavior is similar to that described
for the remote analog input setpoint option in case of failure. (See Analog Input
Integrity on page 98.)
To enable this function, set the remote control option to index 2, as listed in
Table 34 on page 95.
Generator Control
The SVST can operate in generator control mode with the following methods of
operation available:
Droop or Load Control
Isochronous (Island Mode) or Frequency Control
When the governor is in running state and the generator function is enabled, the
Home Screen Page 4 updates as shown in Figure 91.
When the generator breaker closes, the governor state indication updates as in
Figure 92.
Droop
When these prerequisites are met, the Generator Status display updates
(Figure 93).
The Droop or Load control algorithm applies initial load to the generator and
the Home Screen Page 3 updates (Figure 94).
When in droop control mode, it is possible to load or unload the generator using
the increase/decrease speed reference inputs. A numeric entry for setpoint is also
available, where the value to be entered is in a 0100% range.
The droop control ramps the setpoint at the configured load rate. You must
configure these values according to your specific machine requirements.
Note: The droop control algorithm relies on a machine that is connected to the
external electrical grid that holds the generator frequency.
Isochronous mode of operation is only possible when the external grid breaker is
open. There are two ways of putting the control mode in service:
Before Synchronization with both generator breaker and grid breaker
open.
Select the speed control isochronous option by pressing SCI In. When the
generator breaker closes, the system works in isochronous mode. Figure 97
and Figure 98 illustrate these steps.
Figure 97 - Generator Status Iso Standby with generator and grid breaker open
Figure 98 - Generator Status Isochronous with generator closed and grid breaker open
After Synchronization both generator breaker and grid breaker are closed.
Select the speed control isochronous option by pressing SCI In. The
system continues to work in Droop control, however the Isochronous
Standby condition is set. When the grid breaker opens and the generator
breaker remains closed, the system is transferred automatically from Droop
control to Isochronous. Figure 99, Figure 100, and Figure 101 illustrate
this sequence.
Figure 100 - Generator Status Isochronous Standby with both breakers closed
Figure 101 - Generator Status Isochronous with Generator Breaker closed & Grid Breaker open
When working in isochronous mode, the turbine speed reference can be adjusted
from page 3. The speed setpoint should be such that the generator keeps the
frequency constant for the load under control, for example, at 3600 rpm.
When working with the generator control feature, the following alarms are
available:
Generator breaker is closed and the grid breaker is open (Figure 102)
Generator load alarm (Figure 103)
Figure 102 - Alarm Screen Grid Breaker open and Generator Breaker closed
Overspeed Test Overspeed test allows increasing the speed reference above the maximum
governor limit in order to test an external overspeed protection device. The
SVST is equipped with three external trip inputs. Any of these can be used to
connect a signal from the external overspeed trip device and let the SVST know
when a trip has occurred.
In our example with maximum governor at 3780 rpm, the following illustrates
what occurs during the test.
1. To enable the overspeed test, set the speed reference to maximum governor
speed.
2. When the speed reaches maximum governor speed, the OST button
becomes available. Press the OST button to start the overspeed test.
A timer starts and the test must be completed within that time, otherwise
the test is cancelled. (See Canceling the Overspeed Test on page 114.)
3. At this point, increase the speed reference towards the external protection
trip speed setting (3900 rpm for this example) using the Raise Speed
button.
When the speed goes above 3900 rpm, it is expected that the turbine will trip,
which finishes the test.
Regardless of the external trip setting and test timer elapsed time, when speed
goes above maximum control speed, the governor trips the turbine.
If the turbine does not trip, the test fails. The following shows what happens
when the test fails.
An overspeed test failure alarm is generated.
If the speed continues above the external trip setting (3900 rpm) when the
timer expires, the turbine trips as shown here.
The overspeed test can be cancelled manually by releasing the overspeed test
button. Alternatively, when the test timer expires and speed is below the external
trip setting, the test is automatically cancelled. When the overspeed test is
cancelled, the governor takes the speed reference to max governor 5.0 rpm. In
our example with maximum governor at 3780 rpm, this would be 3775 rpm.
Stop Function The SVST can stop the turbine using any of the available trip signals. An
additional closed-loop deceleration feature, a Stop button, is on the Home Screen
Page 2, shown in Figure 106.
Figure 106 - Home Screen Page 2 Showing available closed loop deceleration Stop button
The Stop button is used when a closed-loop deceleration is desirable for stopping
the turbine. This function has no prerequisite other than that the sequence has
started.
IMPORTANT It is important not to confuse this function with the E-stop. The E-stop
available on the control panels door immediately trips the turbine.
Modbus Interface
The SVST has an RS-232 serial port for Modbus communications. The protocol
supported is RTU in slave mode. Configuration of the Modbus interface can be
done through either the HMI, covered in this chapter, or with the PC
configuration tool, covered in Appendix A PC Configuration Tool.
Serial Port Configuration Table 35 lists the parameters related to Modbus communications.
Parameter 1 is the slave address that the SVST uses for Modbus communications.
Parameter 2 is a value in counts (for example, 4096) used to scale values from
engineering units to raw data so that they can be sent in integer format in a
Modbus command. As an example, if the turbine speed is 7500 rpm and the
Modbus range was configured at 4096, then address 30001 contains a value of
2048 counts.
Parameter 3 is the Port Speed transmission rate in kilobauds per second. This is
the speed that the serial port will work when a Port Update command is issued.
Parameter 4 is the parity configuration for the serial port, with these values:
0: None
1: Odd
2: Even
Parameters 5 and 6 are read-only and represent the current port settings.
Parameter 7, when set to 1 and the parameters are downloaded to the SVST
governor, the Modbus Interface requests the controller to update the serial port
settings.
1. Press .
4. Press Restore .
5. Change your parameters as required.
6. Press Enter .
Boolean Commands (Coils) Table 36 shows the commands that can be sent via Modbus to the SVST. The
commands should be momentary or pulse type.
The SVST supports Modbus function codes 5 and 15 for the address range
shown above.
Parameter 4 is used to write a Modbus speed setpoint. For example, if the new
speed setpoint is 7500 rpm, then address 40001 value should be set to 2048 in
counts (Modbus range is 4096) and address 0004 should be set to 1 momentarily
to indicate to the SVST to take the new speed setpoint.
Use Modbus function code 2 to read from the address range shown above. Status
is 0 for not active and 1 for active condition. For example, when address 10001
reports a value of 1, it indicates a turbine trip condition.
Notes:
Use Modbus function code 4 to read from the address range shown above.
The values in the address range above are scaled using the Modbus
configured range.
Notes:
Use Modbus function code 3 for reading data, and function code 6 for
writing data.
Use Address 0004 (pulse 01) when writing a new speed setpoint.
Troubleshooting
This chapter covers topics for troubleshooting the SVST during commissioning
and during its normal lifecycle.
System Power The SVST field signals should be connected to the marshalling terminals
indicated in Chapter 3 SVST Hardware Description. All internal wiring is
completed at the factory; therefore signal troubleshooting is limited to checking
the functioning of the power supplies, circuit breakers, and fuses. This guide is
not intended for troubleshooting field signals. All field signals should be tested
using the field loop drawings.
Component Integrity This section describes how to check the integrity/status of the SVST hardware
and I/O modules.
Hardware Integrity
Follow these steps to check the status of the SVST hardware integrity.
1. Press to close any open pop-up screens and return to a main screen
showing the navigation toolbar.
4. If any status differs from that shown above, use Table 41 on page 123 to
identify and correct the problem.
Follow the steps in Analog Inputs on page 124 to access the desired I/O Module
Detail screen.
Analog Inputs
3. Press to open the I/O Module Detail page, in this example for
Analog Inputs.
The display should update similar to the one below. The values shown here
are in raw counts with a range of 010000.
Note: The screens for Digital Inputs and Digital Outputs differ from that
shown here. See Digital Inputs and Digital Outputs on page 125 for that
information.
Digital Inputs
When the SVST Digital Inputs are in condition for the turbine to start, the
display detail should look like Figure 109.
The normal condition for trips is 1 or active, which is due to the fail-safe design
of the SVST. An open contact or 0 on the input channel trips the turbine. This
applies to channels 4, 9, 10, and 11.
Digital Outputs
When the SVST Digital Outputs are in condition for the turbine to start, the
detail display should look like Figure 110.
Note: Both of the turbine trip signals are energized due to the fail-safe design of
the SVST, meaning the output must de-energize to trip.
Alarms The SVST has alarms that are triggered by abnormal conditions during
operation. Table 42 identifies the alarms severity with color codes.
1 Information Blue
2 Alert Yellow
3 Exception Red
4 Fault Pink
Controller Failure 4
Interlock Failure 3
Auxiliary PID PV Hi 4
Auxiliary PID PV Lo 4
When an alarm has occurred, the HMI alarm icon changes color
according to the alarm severity as in Table 42. To access to the Alarm page, press
the alarm icon and the HMI alarm page will be displayed with operator buttons
at the bottom as in Figure 111.
Alarm Reset
Alarm Acknowledge
For example, if the local EStop is activated, an alarm will be generated and the
alarm page display will update as in Figure 112.
When the alarm is active and unacknowledged, the alarm message flashes. To
acknowledge the alarm, select the specific alarm and press the Alarm
Acknowledge button, which will stop the message from flashing.
When the alarm is ready for reset, the alarm icon flashes. To reset the
alarm, press the Reset button, and, if all the alarms are clear, the alarm icon
returns to white .
Configuration Errors The SVST has a built-in basic configuration error routine. When a configuration
error is detected, a warning is generated. The configuration error is a permissive
that must be cleared in order to start the turbine.
Note: Contact Rockwell Automation Tech Support if, after reviewing your
configuration parameters, the configuration error is still active.
Operating or Control This section covers issues that may occur during either the turbine startup or
operation process.
Symptom Suggestions

seconds.
Check the Trip Settings page, parameter 2 for the critical speed stall timer
preset.
Adjust the speed PID tuning parameters.
Make sure that enough steam flow is available to drive the turbine speed
above the lower critical band limit.
Idle Speed not working Check Speed Page 1 and 2 and make sure the Idle speed is > 0 and
acceleration rate is > 0.
Speed Control hunting If the turbine accelerates but the control of speed is poor, put the governor in
hold and try to tune the speed PID loop.

speed is in the minimum and
maximum governor range
Speed Pickups Additional information about the magnetic pickups or speed inputs can be found
on the HMI.
In order to reset the pickup failure (after troubleshooting), the failed pickup
should read speed within 100 rpm of the pickup that is active, as in Figure 115.
4. When the pickup is ready for reset, apply a master reset using either a
digital input reset or the HMI Reset on Home Screen Page 2, as shown
here.
Tuning Tuning the speed PID is essential for the SVST to operate correctly. Poor tuning
generates diverse issues and makes the system unstable.
This manual is not a PID tuning guide; there are numerous publications available
about this topic. However, basic tuning of the PID controller can be achieved
using the following steps:
To access to the speed PID tuning parameters while the turbine is running,
follow these steps.
Notes:
PC Configuration Tool
The configuration parameters are grouped in the same manner as they are on the
HMI application discussed in Chapter 4 Human Machine Interface (HMI) of
this manual. It is recommended to read that chapter before using the PC
configuration tool.
This chapter covers the steps necessary to install the PC configuration tool,
launch the tool, establish a connection, and transfer and save configuration data.
5. Click Next to confirm the installation and wait for the installation to
finish.
Tool Menus Double-click the SVST application icon for the main application window.
The PC tool application window has a design similar to those found in recent
Microsoft Office applications, where the menu options are located on a frame
called the ribbon bar. The ribbon bar has four menus: Home, Comms,
Configuration, and User.
Home
The Home menu allows basic maintenance of the main application window.
When information is being exchanged between the tool and the SVST, events are
logged in the application view area for informational purposes. To erase the view,
there is an Erase icon.
Comms
The Comms menu is used to set up and establish communications between the
PC configuration tool and the SVST governor. From here it is possible to enter
the SVST IP address, establish a connection with the SVST, download and
upload configuration data, and disconnect from the SVST governor.
Configuration
User
The User menu provides access to the tool password administration and for
entering specific information about the turbine such as model and manufacturer.
Connecting to the SVST To connect to the SVST governor from the PC configuration tool, follow these
steps.
Note: Make sure the PC IP address and SVST address belong to the
same network, the subnet mask is the same, and only the host ID is
different. For example, your PC could have an address of
192.168.123.88 and your SVST an address of 192.168.123.20, both
having a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
f. Click OK.
After the connection has been established, the tool monitors the port for activity.
If the Ethernet connection fails due to a media problem or SVST power loss, a
message (shown below) indicates the loss of connection. If this happens, it is
necessary to reestablish the connection.
The upload process displays the current configuration of the SVST governor in
the PC Configuration Tool. When selecting any of the Configuration menu
options, a dialog window shows the configuration data.
If a connection was established (per Connecting to the SVST on page
141), the tool reads (uploads) data from the SVST and presents values in
the dialog window.
If a connection was not established, the configuration parameters are
shown with the latest data in the buffer, which may be zeros.
Uploading
Table 45 shows options available on the SVST configuration menu and what type
of data is accessed when selecting an option.

When the tool executes a data read (upload), the event is logged in the main
window's view. The previous example results in four data reads being performed.
Figure 120 shows the example's resulting sequence of events.
Note: When performing an upload or reading from the SVST, if errors are
reported, contact Rockwell Automation for support.
Downloading
To download data to the SVST using the PC configuration tool, follow the steps
below.
For example, the SVST unit from the factory has only the default
configuration data and to demonstrate how to configure the SVST this
step uses configuration Example 2 from Table 10 on page 45.
a. From the Configuration menu, select Governor.
b. Select the Speed Page1 tab and enter the values as shown here.
c. Select the Speed Page2 tab and enter the configuration values.
Note: The PC tool uses a drop-down list for Remote speed control
options.
Note: The PC tool uses check boxes for Boolean selections such as
magnetic pickup channels selection.
e. Select the Governor Valve tab and enter the configuration values.
f. Select the Actuator Page tab and enter the configuration values.
g. Select the Trip Settings tab and enter the configuration values.
h. Select the Speed PID tab and enter the configuration values.
The software checks the governor state and if the state indicates that
the turbine is not in operation, then the download is performed,
otherwise a dialog message indicates that changes are denied.
Notice this time the Download button is available since the password
was entered correctly.
b. To apply the changes, click Download.
When the file is saved, the application title bar will be updated showing the
name of the current file in use. If there are subsequent changes to the data,
those changes will be saved to this particular file.
View Data from File If the configuration data was saved to a file, it can be reviewed off line.
To open a file, click the Open icon, select the file, and click Open.
Notice that the application data column was updated with the data from the file
and the controller data shows zeros since there was no connection to the
controller at the time that the file was opened.
