CPU
Micronet & GAP (Graphical Application Programmer)

Chassis Configuration (MAIN)


• The first slot A0 is reserved for the
Chassis Power Supply.
• The next Slot is A1 which the CPU
resides and can only be the CPU no
other.
• Slots A3 and A4 are both 4 channel
magnetic pick up cards.
• Slots A5 and A6 are both a
combination of Analogue input and
output cards.
• Slot A7 and A10 reside a combination
of Digital I/O cards.
• Slot A8 resides thermocouple card
• Slot A11 resides the Link Net
modules Network card.
• Main Chassis Faults

Chassis Configuration (EXP)


• The first slot A0 is reserved for the
Expansion Chassis Power Supply.
• Slot A1 resides RTN (real‐time network)
module for comms to the main chassis.
• Slot A2,3,4,5 and 6 reside a
combination of Digital I/O cards or
discrete cards.
• Slot A8 and A9 reside the actuator
controller cards for the IGV and VSV’s.
• Slot A10 and A11 reside the Digital
Driver cards for the LF and GF valves.
• Expansion Chassis Faults

Slot A3 & 4
FTM Modules

• The Field Termination Modules interface


directly with the Micronet chassis cards and
are connected via a FTM High Density cable
having a 61 pin sub‐D slide lock connector
on either side.

• Speed pickups, RTD’s, Pressure


Transmitters, Thermocouples, Switches etc FTM Cable
are the types of sensor information from
the field that are connected to these
boards.
FTM Module
Micronet & GAP (Graphical Application Programmer)

Link Net Module Slot A11

• The Link Net modules are used for


monitoring and sequencing of non turbine
functions as they are slower and less
powerful than the FTM boards discussed
previously.
• The network consists of a single module,
slot A11 as can be seen which provides four
independent network trunks.
• The link net modules on each trunk are all
attached to the controller module (slot
A11) via a single twisted pair wire (piggy
backed of each module). Each module has
two rotary switches which are used to set Link Net Module
the network address of each.

What Is GAP?
Micronet & GAP (Graphical Application Programmer)

Woodward’s GAP is a Windows‐based software program that allows controls


engineers to create block format application programs for a number of Woodward
control systems.

Once the control logic is entered using a graphical programming environment, the
GAP software compiler function generates code that runs in the control
(background).

GAP software is Woodward's pictures‐to‐code programming tool. This


programming system uses libraries of control objects connected in a graphical
format. The final control design is displayed as a group of interconnected blocks
that represent the actual functionality of the code running in the control hardware.
Micronet & GAP (Graphical Application Programmer)

The GAP software program is free to download from the


following link : http://www.woodward.com/software.aspx

You must be a member, so you will be required to answer


some questions to obtain a login and password.

The software version is GAP Monitor 2.18D as shown across.

Unfortunately you will need a monitor license to


view/interpret the GAP files.

Basic Block Attributes


Category Name

Block Name

Rate Group

Instruction Type
Micronet & GAP (Graphical Application Programmer)

Category name:
GAP is written in block form where a single block is placed in a category. The Category
Name can be up to 10 characters long. The first character must be a letter. Each GAP Sheet
should contain Blocks with only one Category Name. However, the same Category Name
may be used on multiple GAP Sheets.

Block Name:
The Block Name can be up to 10 characters long. The first character must be a letter. A
Block Name may be used only once with a given Category Name. The ideal Block Name is
one that helps describe the function of the block.

Instruction Block Type:


The Block Type is a name used to identify a particular type of Block. Every Block has a Block
Type that determines its functionality. There may be multiple instances of a Block Type in a
GAP Application. A block type may be functional, informational, or a combination of the
two.
Micronet & GAP (Graphical Application Programmer)

Rate Group:
Most Blocks contain a Rate Group. The Rate Group accepts a valid Rate Group number. The
Rate Group number selected will determine the rate group task in which the Block will be
executed.
The Rate Group number is the default task reschedule interval in milliseconds. For example
the default reschedule interval for Rate Group 10 is 10 milliseconds. The lower the Rate
Group number the higher the priority and the more frequently it is rescheduled.
The Rate Group reschedule intervals may be changed from the default value in the
SYS_INFO Block.

Address Description
• We can see below the input address is A1_A08_THD.PT616A.AI_420_HD
• We break this address up into three levels:
1. Category
2. Block Name
3. Block Attribute

Branch To Block

• This block defines the channels for a 16 channel Digital


Input module.
• CH_1‐16 input is to define the type of input that will be
used for that channel. This input is to be filled in with a
valid block or may be left blank if the channel is not to be
used.
• You can branch to block from each channel by double
left clicking that channel. The branch will link you to the
channel set up configuration block.
Micronet & GAP (Graphical Application Programmer)

• By double clicking on
channel 1, the edit text box
appears.
• By selecting Branch, this will
bring us to the channel setup
config block, as can be seen
below.

•This block defines the channels for a 4‐channel,


digital speed sensor input module.
•CH_1‐4 input is to define the type of input that
will be used for that channel. This input is to be
filled in with a valid block or may be left blank if
the channel is not to be used.
• The AI_MPU block is valid with this module.
You can branch to block from each channel by
double left clicking that channel.
• The branch will link you to the channel set up

Using Modbus number for Alarms (HMI) and referencing GAP for
troubleshooting purposes.

• The first thing we need to do is find the Modbus number of the alarm or trip in
question.
•To do this open up the active alarm page on the Citect.
•Hover the cursor over the alarm and RIGHT click, this will open a dropdown
menu.
•Left Click on Information and the Modbus number and tag address should
appear. Record the number.
• Open GAP application.
Micronet & GAP (Graphical Application Programmer)

Hover the cursor


over the active
alarm, right click and
open Information
Micronet & GAP (Graphical Application Programmer)

Hit “B” to open


dialog box then type
“COMM” and press
Enter.
Micronet & GAP (Graphical Application Programmer)

Click “Yes” to open


the TALK.COMM
block.
Note: sometimes the
TALK.COMM block
may not be the first
to appear so select
No until it does.
Micronet & GAP (Graphical Application Programmer)

Double click on the


TALK.COMM block to
open MODBUS_S
TALK.COMM.
Micronet & GAP (Graphical Application Programmer)

From the list select


“RPTbr” to see Modbus
numbers for alarms
Micronet & GAP (Graphical Application Programmer)

Example: Select BR_V_247. This matches a


Modbus number of 10247. We can see from
the description it is PT616 High Alarm. Click
the “Branch” button
Micronet & GAP (Graphical Application Programmer)

This shows us the sequence that drives the


alarm. “PT616 PTLO Pressure High”

We can trace back


through the logic to the
block that is used to
calculate the field value
Micronet & GAP (Graphical Application Programmer)

After tracing back to where the field value is calculated we can now
branch to this Block. Double click the address shown below in green
and select Branch.

The block relating to the


channel input is now open
showing the exact channel
where the Transmitter is
connected to the Micronet.
