certifications or listings.

CAUTION—POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT OR PROPERTY

CAUTION—BATTERY CHARGING
To prevent damage to a control system that uses an alternator or battery-charging device, make
sure the charging device is turned off before disconnecting the battery from the system.
CAUTION—ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE
Electronic controls contain static-sensitive parts. Observe the following precautions to
prevent damage to these parts.
• Discharge body static before handling the control (with power to the control turned off,
contact a grounded surface and maintain contact while handling the control).
• Avoid all plastic, vinyl, and Styrofoam (except antistatic versions) around printed circuit
boards.
• Do not touch the components or conductors on a printed circuit board with your hands
or with conductive devices.

IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS
• A WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in
death or serious injury.

Wiring Instructions for Replacement of

2301A Load Sharing and Speed Controls
with 2301D Load Sharing and Speed Controls

Introduction
Woodward’s 2301D Load Sharing and Speed Control was designed as a
functional replacement for the 2301A Load Sharing and Speed Control, but not a
direct wire-for-wire replacement of the 2301A Load Sharing and Speed Control.
The 2301D was designed with many new features and functions that are not built
into the 2301A.

Refer to Woodward manual 26247 for details on the 2301D control installation,
operation, adjustment, and troubleshooting.

Summary of wiring differences when replacing the 2301A with the 2301D control:

• The Load Sharing lines remain the same between the 2301A and the 2301D
terminals 10(+) and 11(–). However, the Load Signal from terminals 11(–) to
13(+) of the 2301A is configured in the software of the 2301D and no longer
has an external terminal connection.

• The Circuit Breaker Auxiliary Contact input on terminal 14 of the 2301A has
moved to Discrete Input (D) terminal 34 of the 2301D.

• Power Supply inputs have moved from terminals 15(–) and 16(+) of the
2301A to terminals 45(+) and 46(–) of the 2301D. No high voltage version
exists for the 2301D controls, only low voltage.

• The Open for Minimum Fuel discrete input on terminal 17 of the 2301A has
moved to Discrete Input (A) terminal 31 of the 2301D.

• Closed to Override a Failed Speed Signal discrete input on terminal 18 of the

2301A has moved to Discrete Input (B) terminal 32 of the 2301D.

• The Closed for Rated discrete input on terminal 19 of the 2301A has moved
to Discrete Input (C) terminal 33 of the 2301D.

• Actuator connections have moved from terminals 20(+) and 21(–) of the
2301A to terminals 13(+) and 14(–) of the 2301D, with the shield connecting
to terminal 15.

 Application Note 51242 Replacement from 2301A to 2301D
• The Speed Trim input no longer exists on the 2301D. Speed Trim is
accomplished through the Discrete Input (E) terminal 35 Raise Speed, and
Discrete input (F) terminal 36 Lower Speed of the 2301D.

• The Synchronizer input has moved from terminals 25(±) and 26(COM) of the
2301A to Analog Input #1 terminals 19(+) and 20(–) by default of the 2301D.
The shield is connected to terminal 27.

NOTE
Analog Input #1 is defaulted in the 2301D configuration as the Synchronizer
Input but can be reconfigured for several optional inputs.

• The Speed Signal input (MPU) has moved from terminals 28 and 29 of the
2301A to terminals 25 and 26 of the 2301D with the shield to terminal 27.

Woodward 3
 Replacement from 2301A to 2301D Application Note 51242
NOTES

A. The 2301D has terminal connections for each shield ground. Separate the
shield grounds for each set of twisted pair wires and connect the shields to
the correct terminal connection on the 2301D (Terminals 15, 18, 21, 24 or
27).

B. When power is applied, the 2301D begins performing internal memory tests
to “boot-up” the processor—this takes approximately 30 seconds to
complete. For systems requiring fast start functions, it will be necessary to
continuously power the 2301D.

C. There are two methods of wiring the voltage supply to the discrete inputs,
internal supplied power or external supplied power. If using the internal 24
Vdc supply for discrete inputs, a jumper must be installed to connect the
internal COMMON connection from terminal 29 to 30 (see below).

Replacement from 2301A to 2301D Application Note 51242
NOTES:

1. Shielded wires to be twisted pairs, with shield grounded at control end only.

2. Point of grounding if required by code.

3. Internal current transformer burden must be connected across power

source current transformer at all times, to prevent lethal high voltages.

4. Power source current transformers should be sized to produce 5 A

secondary current with maximum generator current, current transformer
burden is less than 0.1 VA per phase.

5. With a balanced three-phase load and unity power factor, the current
transformers should be wired in the correct potential leg and must be
phased as follows:
Phase A: potential terminal 1, with respect to neutral, in phase with CT
terminals 4 to 5.
Phase B: potential terminal 2, with respect to neutral, in phase with CT
terminals 6 to 7.
Phase C: potential terminal 3, with respect to neutral, in phase with CT
terminals 8 to 9.

6. For optional current transformer connection see manual 26247.

7. Warning:
WARNING—OVERSPEED SHUTDOWN
Do not use for emergency shutdown. The prime mover should be equipped
with separate overspeed, overtemperature, or overpressure shutdown
device(s) to protect against runaway or damage to the prime mover with
possible personal injury or loss of life.

8. If meters are not used, jumpers must be installed in place of meters.

9. Indicates relay coil or lamp, 200 mA maximum per channel.

10. Some discrete inputs may not be used in all applications.

11. Discrete inputs with cable lengths greater than 30 m that are used for critical
functions, such as emergency stop, should not be floated in either an on or
off state. These inputs should be switched to +24 Vdc or ground.
