Software Tools
General Description
This manual describes the Woodward VxWorks® * RTOS (Real Time Operating
System) software tools available to remotely configure and interact with the
MicroNet™ Plus and Atlas-II™ control platforms.
*—VxWorks is a trademark of Wind River Systems, Inc.
The MicroNet Plus and Atlas-II controls are designed so that all interface,
maintenance, and troubleshooting is done via the Serial and Ethernet Ports. No
local keyboard, monitor, or mouse is available to the user, and thus “headless”
operation is accomplished using these tools.
The MicroNet Plus Cyber Secure controls are similar to the MicroNet Plus
controls. All exceptions are noted in this manual. The Secure CPU implements
Accounts that can be managed by the end user and secure file transfers using
SSh encryptions.
Your computer screens may differ slightly from those shown in this
manual due to newer software revisions.
The MicroNet Plus and Atlas-II controls are now shipped with static
IP addresses! To avoid Ethernet IP Address conflicts, read this
manual before connecting the controls Ethernet Ports to a network.
Overview
See Figure 1-1.
Programming Tools are the application creation tools. GAP™ (Graphical

Application Program)/Ladder Logic are used to create the application. The output
is assembled, compiled, and linked with the Coder, and the resultant executable
file is loaded into the target control. The Woodward NetSim™ simulation tool can
be used to test the application.
Service Tools are the interface programs that allow an operator to move files,
start and stop the application, configure settings, troubleshoot hardware and
software, view status, and ultimately operate the controlled machinery.
An unsafe condition could occur with improper use of these software

tools. Only trained personnel should have access to these tools.
Woodward 1
Figure 1-1. Software Interface Tools Overview
Programming Tools
These tools are useful for creating new applications or for modifying existing
ones.
Woodward GAP
GAP (Graphical Application Programmer) allows users to design their

control system logic on an integrated drawing package that runs on a PC in the
Windows® environment. Once the control logic has been graphically entered,
GAP checks the application for completeness and generates a .CDR file for use
with Woodward Coder.
Monitor GAP
This debugging tool allows the engineer to view and tune the GAP blocks
while the application is running, see the GAP I/O values change, and edit the
application. It interfaces with the Ethernet or serial ports via the included Servlink
OPC Server tool.

Ethernet Networking
Overview
The MicroNet™ Plus CPU is shipped with static IP addresses:

Ethernet #1 = 172.16.100.1
SubNet Mask: 255.255.0.0
Ethernet #2 = 192.168.128.20
SubNet Mask: 255.255.255.0
RTN Port #1 = 172.20.22.10
SubNet Mask: 255.255.255.0
RTN Port #2 = 172.20.23.10
SubNet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: None
The Atlas-II™ CPU is shipped with static IP addresses:

Ethernet #1 = 172.16.100.20
SubNet Mask: 255.255.0.0
Ethernet #2 = 192.168.128.20
SubNet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Ethernet #3 = 192.168.129.20
SubNet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Ethernet #4 = 192.168.130.20
SubNet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: None
These network settings will probably need to be changed; therefore, care must
be taken to understand some networking principals. Consult your Network
System Administrator and read the “Internet/Ethernet Discussion” section of this
manual for additional information. In addition, networking information can be
found on your local WinNT PC in, Start\Help – Contents\Networking.
The MicroNet Plus supports two shielded 10/100 Base-TX RJ45 female
connectors for TCP/IP sessions; the Atlas-II supports four. These connections
are used for network file sharing, application management, and remote control,
as well as other control functions like Ethernet Modbus® *. A client computer
using a Windows Operating System is required for networking with the
Woodward control.
 A unique Ethernet IP address is required for every device on a particular
network in order to avoid IP address conflicts.
 The control’s Computer Name is associated with its IP address when using
a network DHCP server or AppManager.
 AppManager will only work on Ethernet ports #1 or #2 (MicroNet).
*—Modbus is a trademark of Schneider Automation Inc.
Multiple user Ethernet Ports should not be set to the same Network
Identifier because its Operating System may respond out of only one
port. You will need to set all ports to a different network to ensure
that it will respond. It is recommended that initially, one port be set to
the same Network as your local PC network so that you can use the
software tools described in this manual. See Figure 2-1 for an
example of two separate networks.

Go to STEP 3 below.
STEP 2:
Are the factory set IP addresses being used by another device on your network?
See “Pinging the Network” section of this manual.
YES NO
If YES, or if you need to change the network settings, Go to STEP 3 below.

If NO, you can connect the Woodward control to your network.
STEP 3:
Connecting to the Ethernet Port
The Woodward software tool “AppManager” (version 2.5 or higher; 3.0 and
higher for Cyber Secure MicroNet Plus) is needed to change the Woodward
control’s Ethernet IP settings to make the control’s Ethernet port accessible to
your local PC. This tool can be downloaded from the Woodward website. See
Chapter 1, “Obtaining Software Tools” section.
To avoid IP address conflicts on your network, isolate the control and your PC
that you will be using for setting up the control, from the network. Figure 2-2
shows examples of two recommended methods.
1. On your PC, shut down your network applications but don’t log off.
2. Connect as shown in Figure 2-2 and power up the Woodward control.
8 Woodward
1.) Direct Cable Connection 2.) Hub/Switch Connections
Figure 2-2. Network Cable Connections
 When you have the proper connection between the Woodward control’s
Ethernet Port #1 and your PC, you will see the green “Link” LED remain on
(solid) on your PC AND on the control.
A Hub/Switch will cause your PC’s Link light to be on even when a

control is not connected. The MicroNet Plus and Atlas-II have two
LEDs for each connector, the green LED is on the top of the
connector.
If you can’t see the control in AppManager, open a DOS Command

Prompt window on your PC and try to “ping” the control’s IP address
of the port you are connected to. See the “Pinging the Network”
section of this chapter. If pinging is successful, your PC’s
networking settings may need to be changed. Contact your Network
Administrator.
Changing an IP Address with Control on the Local Network

Using AppManager, the control network settings may be changed as follows:
1. On your PC, open AppManager.exe.

2. You should see the Woodward control’s Computer Name in the AppManager
window. Select the control’s Computer Name. If it didn’t show up, check your
connections and verify the Link lights are on.
Woodward 9
3. Click “Control” in the top header of the AppManager window, use the pull
down menu, and select “Change Network Settings”.
4. Select the desired Ethernet port (adapter) and the desired IP Address
settings to change to. Port 1 is the only port that supports a Default Gateway,
and Port 1 is the only port that supports DHCP.
5. Select “Yes” to change the settings.
10 Woodward
6. A message will appear stating that the control settings have been changed
and prompt to reboot the control.
You should follow this procedure for each of the network ports
that need to be configured.
AppManager—Control Information Screen

This AppManager screen shows the control information about the CPU board
and its hard drive.
Select the Control in the Control Window and press [Control Information].
In the MicroNet, only Ethernet port 1 and port 2 can be changed on

the control with AppManager. Ethernet port 3 (RTN Port 1) and port 4
(RTN Port 2) are pre-configured and can only be changed with switch
settings on the CPU (see hardware manual).
Woodward 11
Using the Debug Port (Com1)

Setup
For debug use, a null-modem cable and 5450-1065 Serial Adapter cable (PS2M
to DB9F) is required to attach this port to a PC. This port is to be used by trained
Field Service personnel only!
1. Connect a standard null-modem serial cable from your local PC to the
Woodward control’s debug port using the serial adapter cable.
2. Run “HyperTerminal” (hypertrm.exe) on your local PC (Start – Programs –
Accessories – Communications – HyperTerminal).
3. Enter a name for the HyperTerminal setup (MicroNetComm).
4. Select “connect using COM1” (or whichever port you selected).
5. Configure the port settings with the following.
6. All other settings stay at default.
Boot Information (in Debug)

Monitoring the debug port as the CPU boots, you will see the following text.
About 45 seconds after the control is powered on, messages will be displayed on
the HyperTerminal that identify the VxWorks® operating system and its version
numbers. This message will be displayed:
Press any key to stop auto-boot…
7-6-5-4-3-2-1-0
If you press any key, the auto boot is halted and the operating system is in a
system boot mode:
“[VxWorks boot]:”
From this mode you can perform the following commands:

1. “help” (this describes all the commands available)
12 Woodward
2. “p” (this command lists the boot parameters including the IP address and the
Control name.)
[VxWorks Boot]: p
boot device : tffs=0,0
unit number :0
processor number :0
host name : mars
file name : /OS/System/VxWorks
inet on ethernet (e) : 10.14.140.114:ffff0000 (current static IP address)

user (u) : mpc5200
ftp password (pw) : mpc5200
flags (f) : 0x80
target name (tn) : VXM12345 (current Control name)
other (o) : bcm0
3. “c” (this command allows you to change the values of the IP address or the
control name).
 When you type the “c” command, the first line will be displayed with the
current data value. To change the value, just type in the new value and hit
enter. To move on to the next line without changing the current line, just hit
enter.
 To save the new settings, continue hitting enter until you get past the last
line. At this time the control will save the values and give you back the
debug prompt.
 To start running the operating system, either type in “@” followed by enter
or reboot the control.
4. When you allow the CPU to boot without pausing in the debug mode, there
will be many more messages. At the end of all the messages you will be able
to login and get a “->” prompt. You can see the available commands from
this menu by typing “help” and then pressing Enter.
Network Debugging
In the following commands, bcm0 represents user network1, bcm1 represents
user network2, bcm2 represents RTN Port 1 for MicroNet Plus and user
network3 for Atlas-II, and bcm3 represents RTN Port 2 for MicroNet Plus and
user network4 for Atlas-II.

Hard Drive Recovery
The Hard Drive Recovery steps should only be executed as a last

resort. All Application files and Ethernet port 2 settings will be
erased.
The flash file system is divided into 2 drives – OS and HD1Flash. The OS drive
holds all of the operating system files needed for the control to start. The
HD1Flash drive contains all the application related files, VxWorks log and registry
files. The application related files include - data logs, NV logs, EE files, etc. It is
recommended to always keep a backup of the applications files being used
on the control. These backup files will be needed to recover from a hard drive
corruption.
14 Woodward
In the unlikely event that a hard drive corruption occurs, the debug port will
display a message that says –
“Formatted Flash Drive HD1Flash not found”.
The OS drive contains a copy of the needed HD1Flash files. Recovery
commands are provided to allow the user to format the HD1Flash drive.

1) Enter the command - WGEraseHD1Flash48, this command will take a couple
of minutes to complete as it erases all of the flash sectors.
2) Enter the command - sysTffsHD1Format, this command will take a couple of

minutes as it formats the drive.
3) Restart the control by entering – WGReboot.
4a) (Cyber CPU only) Enter the command – dosFsVolFormat(“/HD1Flash”,2,0).
4b) Enter the command – WGRestoreHD1Flash, this command will copy the
registry and log files needed by VxWorks.
5) Restart the control by entering – WGReboot.
After these steps have been completed, the network will need to be reconfigured
(see First Time Setup Instructions) and the application files need to be restored
(see Downloading and Running the Application). For Cyber Secure CPUs, the
Accounts will need to be reconfigured.
Dual Ethernet GAP Setup

The second Ethernet card is activated when the application uses its IP address.
To use the second Ethernet card in Modbus, a UDP_P or TCP_P block must be
connected to the Modbus block, and the UDP_P or TCP_P block must be
connected to the parent CPU block.
See Figure 2-3.

1. In the CPU parent block, add the second ETHER_2 input by opening the
CPU block and clicking on RPT2.
2. At the CPU.ETHER_x inputs, enter the name of the two UDP_P or TCP_P
blocks.
3. The UDP_P or TCP_P output from the UDP_P or TCP_P block goes to a
MODBUS_M or MODBUS_S PORT_X input.
When you have multiple UDP_P blocks, each S_PORT input must be
a unique number. See the UDP_P block help.

File Transfer Protocol

For non-Cyber Secure CPUs:
The VxWorks operating system has an active FTP Server running on the control.
Applications such as AppManager use FTP to transfer files between the control
and the local computer.
The recommended mechanism for transferring files between the control and the
local computer is with AppManager.
The FTP Server follows the FTP standard, so other standard FTP client
programs can be used to transfer files if required.
For Cyber Secure CPUs:

The only mechanism for transferring files between the control and the local
computer is with AppManager.

Pinging the Network

Ping is a DOS command done on the Command Prompt window. It is useful for
the following:
 To see if a device with a specific IP address exists on a network. For
instance before connecting a Woodward Ethernet port on your network, do
this test to your network to see if the IP address that was fixed (static) in a
Woodward control is being used by another device.
 To find a Woodward control with an unknown Computer Name or unknown
IP address, and confirm you are talking to it by seeing its TX LED blink.
 To see if a TCP/IP Ethernet Port is available to the network.
If the control appears to be unresponsive to Ethernet requests, “ping” the control

to determine if the control is available. The DOS “ping” command will send a
network packet to the control and monitor the Ethernet for a response. If a
successful response occurs, it will annunciate the control IP address and the
travel time of the communications packet. This indicates the hardware is working.
28 Woodward
Pinging Instructions
You can “ping” a control by IP address as follows:
1. Connect the PC to the Control using a shielded Ethernet cable. Verify that
you have a green “Link” light, which indicates a good connection.
2. On your PC, select [Start]\Programs. Find the Command Prompt shortcut
and type in a ping command.
3. Example: c:> ping 190.14.98.173. See Figure 2-4.
4. Type in “ping” [Enter] to see ping options. See Figure 2-4.
5. To close the command Prompt Window, type in “exit” [Enter].
Figure 2-4. DOS Ping of IP Address (example)
When pinging the control's Ethernet port, you should see the green
LED blink in response to each ping.
TIP—Pinging with a “-t” suffix will continually ping until you press
[CTRL]+[C].
Ethernet Distributed I/O

For Ethernet Distributed IO, “BootP” is a Woodward tool that is available from the
Woodward website (www.woodward.com/software). It’s an IP/UDP bootstrap
protocol, which allows a client machine to discover its own IP address. The
protocol operates as a server, continuously listening for a request. When the
server gets a request, it looks for an entry in the BootP database that matches
the MAC address of the request. If the server finds a match, it sends a response
message with the IP address from the entry that matched.
Distributed I/O is covered in considerable detail in volume 2 of the AtlasPC™

Digital Control Hardware manual (85586V2).
As an example of how to set up a distributed I/O node, a Modicon, analog

16-channel single ended module will be used (170 AAI 140 00).
Woodward 29
This module can be configured for ±10 V, ±5 V, or 4–20 mA inputs.
Giving the module an IP Address

Each distributed I/O device has an IP address associated with it. For some
devices, this address is set by a terminal emulator over an RS-232 line and for
other devices, it is set automatically by a server called BOOTP. Modicon uses
the BootP program.
On each Modicon node there is a MAC address (usually some kind of sticker)
which is a unique address given to this node. This address, along with a valid IP
Address, can be obtained from the system administrator, as well as an “Entry
Name” field or description. Enter as shown, and the module will adopt this new IP
Address.
BootP Screenshot:
Ethernet Distributed IO and GAP

 In GAP, use FBUS_M to scan Ethernet IO over the network. It will work with
any distributed IO that uses the Modbus over TCP/IP standard. It is
designed to establish a TCP connection with one device. The block is found
in GAP, “Add Hardware”, “TCP/IP Fieldbus Blocks”.
 The blocks FBUS_INITA and FBUS_INITB are used to initialize a distributed
IO module.
 The FBUS_AI, FBUS_AO, FBUS_BI, FBUS_BO, FBUS_AIO blocks support
the Modbus functions.
 Use GAP help for information to get the GAP interface written. Contact
Woodward for additional help with Ethernet distributed I/O.
 The Modicon manual will give you information on how to configure inputs for
a voltage or current input. It will also give you information about how to scale
the raw counts coming from the module into the Woodward control.
 Gap Help on the above mentioned blocks will instruct the user how to
configure the gap blocks to accept the incoming raw counts into a voltage or
current signal.

Chapter 3.
Application Setup and Configuration
Introduction
The application program for the control must be created and loaded before the
control will perform any useful function. This section describes what steps the
system engineer must perform to properly create, load, and maintain software on
the control.
Creating the Application

The application software is created using Woodward GAP™ and Coder tools
described in Chapter 1. The GAP application defines the I/O location,
configuration and range settings, simplex or redundant selections, as well as the
signal flow of the control application. If Ladder Logic is used, this application
must be defined and linked to the GAP as well. When the application is complete,
a completeness check is performed in GAP. This results in output called the
.CDR file, which is processed by Woodward Coder. The Coder tool uses the
.CDR file to create the target software (.OUT files). This file is then loaded into
the control’s non-volatile memory.
The Atlas-II™ platform must use Coder 4.05 or higher.
Downloading and Running the Application

The AppManager tool is used to transfer the application to the control.
AppManager must first be installed on a PC that is networked to the control.
Then, the AppManager’s “Transfer Application Files” command is used to move
the .OUT file to the control’s non-volatile flash memory (flash disk). AppManager
makes sure the application files are transferred to the proper area on the control
for execution. Some applications require more than just the “.OUT” file to run;
AppManager ensures that these files are transferred as well.
After an application is transferred to the control, it will copy the file

to the Flash file system. This is indicated in AppManager by the
words “Synchronizing file to Flash – Application.out”. If the
Synchronizing file to flash is displayed in AppManager, the file is
NOT saved in non-volatile memory and will not be preserved if the
CPU is powered off. You must wait until the Synchronizing file to
flash is no longer displayed in AppManager before powering down
the CPU.
AppManager requires a valid Login to the control before the

application can be manipulated by a new user or workstation. See
Chapter 2, “Network Passwords” section, Table 2-1.
Woodward 31
Once the application file (.OUT) is transferred to the control, follow these steps to
start the application:
1. Select the Control Name. The Control List displays the computer names of all
controls attached to the network. When you select a control name from the
list, the Application List (right window) is updated.
2. Select the application you want to start by highlighting it on the Application

List.
3. Press the [Start Application] button to run the application. AppManager

will start the application software. Initialization Status information will be
displayed in the lower right window. You can also double-click the application
name to start or stop the application. (If the system is configured for
redundant operation repeat steps 1-3 for the other CPU).
Once the application is running, the Status LEDs on the boards that are
configured in GAP will turn off, and AppManager will indicate that the application
is marked as the Auto-Start Application. This means that if the control’s power is
cycled, or if the control goes down for any reason, the current application will
automatically restart when the control comes back up. This feature eliminates the
need to connect to the control with AppManager every time the control is
powered up to get the application software running.
When an application is stopped using AppManager’s Stop Application command,

AppManager un-marks the application as the Auto-Start Application.
The first time the application is started, a .EE file is created which
holds all of the tunable values in the application program. This file is
located in the same folder as the .OUT file. See the “Tunables
Management” section at the end of this chapter.
32 Woodward
It is recommended to always keep a backup of the applications files

being used on the control in the event that the HD1Flash drive needs
to be restored. Use the Retrieve function in AppManager and select
file type – “All files *.*”. Select all the files in the dialog box and press
Retrieve.
Application files may include the following file types - .out, .ee, .ll,
.vlv.
Clear Auto Start (not available in all versions)

Using AppManager, the Auto Start function can be cleared per the following:
3. If required, login to the Control with a valid UserName and Password.
down menu, and select “Clear Auto Start.
5. After the Clear Autostart is completed the next time the CPU is reset the
Application will not start automatically. See Application Setup and
Configuration section.
6. This means that if the control’s power is cycled, or if the control goes down
for any reason, the current application will NOT automatically restart when
the control comes back up. The control will have to use AppManager after
the control is powered up to get the application software running. If the
Application is stopped then started after auto start has been disabled, auto
start will be re-enabled.
Woodward 33
Resetting the CPU

Using AppManager, the CPU can be re-booted per the following:
3. If required, login to the Control with a valid UserName and Password.
down menu, and select “Reboot Control”.
5. This will cause the CPU to shutdown and reboot.
Rebooting the CPU will cause all the I/O to go to the “IO_LOCK”
failsafe state. Do not reboot the control unless the controlled device
is in a safe non-running state and all Tunable values are saved.
Backing Up Application Files

After the control has been commissioned, it is recommended to backup all the
application files running on the control. To backup the application files highlight
the Control Name in AppManager and follow these steps:
1. Select the Control Name. The Control List displays the computer names of
all controls attached to the network.
34 Woodward
2. Press [Retrieve App Files] button. AppManager may ask you to login.
Non-secure Control Screen
Cyber Secure Control Screen
3. Select Files of Type – All Files. Select all the files in the dialog box and
press Retrieve button.
Woodward 35
4. Navigate to the location on your computer to where you want to store the
files and press Save.
After this step has finished, the Application files have been backed up.
Changing the Application

To change an application that is running, highlight the running application name,
and then press the [Stop Application] button .
AppManager will ask you if you want to stop the currently running application.
Select [YES].
36 Woodward
AppManager will ask you to login:
Non-secure Control Screen
Cyber Secure Control Screen
AppManager will ask you to confirm that you want to stop the application:
The Status Message Display and Application List will indicate when the
application has stopped and it is removed from the AutoStart list.
Woodward 37
Next, you will need to transfer an application to the control (skip this step if the
application is already available on the Application List). The [Transfer App Files]
button is used to move the application from your local PC to the control’s
flash memory.
If the application has not yet been loaded to the control:

 Make sure you have the proper control selected on the Control List, then
press [Transfer App Files] . A dialog box will appear that allows you to
select an application to load to the control:
 Select the .OUT file of the application you want to transfer and press
Transfer. AppManager will transfer the .OUT file to the control. You will be
prompted before overwriting existing files. You cannot overwrite an
application that is currently running.
After an application is transferred to the control, it will copy the file

to the Flash file system. This is indicated in AppManager by the
words “Synchronizing file to Flash – Application.out”. If the
Synchronizing file to flash is displayed in AppManager, the file is
NOT saved in non-volatile memory and will not be preserved if the
CPU is powered off. You must wait until the Synchronizing file to
flash is no longer displayed in AppManager before powering down
the CPU.
38 Woodward
 Once the application is transferred, it will be displayed on the Application
list. Highlight the one you want to start and press the blue triangle [Start
Application] button to start the selected application.
The Status Message Display will indicate that the Application is initializing and
show status of the initialization process.
Once the application is finished initializing, the Status Message Display will
indicate that the Application is running and is set to AutoStart.
If desired, the old, stopped application may now be deleted from the control’s
flash memory by selecting [Delete App Files] .
Woodward 39
When the Woodward control is configured for redundant operation,

you must stop both CPUs before loading the new application. When
both CPUs have the new application start both CPUs within 30
seconds of each other to have the CPUs boot in the redundant mode.
If the CPUs are not started within 30 seconds of each other, the first
CPU started will be the system controller with a missing backup
CPU. When the second CPU starts, it will sync to the system and
become the system backup.
Rebooting the Control

The control is designed to reset on power-up, so you may cycle power to the
control to reboot. The control may also be rebooted using AppManager. If an
application is running when the control is rebooted, this application is marked as
the Auto-Start Application, so that it will automatically restart after a reboot.
Tunables Management
"Tunables" are the application’s variables that are changeable on-line (without
the need to modify the GAP application). The application programmer may make
certain Boolean, analog, or integer values tunable by adding an asterisk (*) in the
GAP application and defining a tunable range.
Tunable values are stored on the control as an .EE file in binary format. This file
is not transferred with the .OUT file when AppManager’s [Retrieve App Files]
or [Transfer App Files] commands are executed, but may be manually
retrieved (for archiving purposes) using AppManager’s [Retrieve App Files]
command.
To view and modify individual tunables while the application is running, use
Woodward’s Control Assistant or Monitor GAP tools.
There are several ways to capture and adjust tunables in GAP applications, and
there are two ways to view (in one document) all the tunables from an application
that have been loaded into a control.
As part of a best practices commissioning process, Woodward

recommends that any saved tunable settings be validated (following
any Save operation), by power-cycling the control and re-verifying
the values.
To capture and adjust tunables in one document, from an application that

has been loaded into a control:
No GAP setup is required. Use Control Assistant to retrieve a tunable
configuration (“.tc”) file. This may be done from a menu or toolbar command
in the WinPanel window of Control Assistant. Then use the Control Assistant
tool to transfer the “.tc” tunable list for viewing, comparing, sorting, and
uploading.
40 Woodward
To capture and adjust Tunables in GAP applications:
1. In GAP, select “Show Tunables” from the file menu. This allows exporting to
a “.tc” file that can be opened in Microsoft Notepad, Word, or Excel. It will
show the name, current value and the High Limit and Low Limits. You can
change the value, save it, and use Control Assistant to transfer it to the
control running this application.
2. Import tunables to GAP from a “.tc” file. If the control’s tunables have been
adjusted and now you want to get those changes into the GAP application
file, select from the GAP header, File\Import Control Assistant “.tc” file and
upload it.
Woodward 41
Chapter 4.
Servlink/WinPanel
Overview
WinPanel is part of Control Assistant and uses the Servlink OPC Server (SOS) to
communicate to the control. Nothing needs to be done in your GAP™ application
to support this.
WinPanel has the following features:

 Variable access through SOS
 Loading and saving of different configurations.
 Hierarchical Tree View of available data
 Variable descriptions are supported
Watch Window II has been deprecated. It has been replaced with

WinPanel, which is included in Control Assistant.
Installing the SOS Servlink OPC Server

The SOS Servlink OPC Server comes with Monitor GAP, Control Assistant, or as
a stand-alone tool the can be downloaded from the Woodward web site.
To install the SOS Servlink OPC Server, it is necessary to have the Microsoft
“.NET” framework version 3.5 or greater on your PC. The “.NET” framework
install program is available from Microsoft or from the Woodward web site. When
this is installed, run the installation program for Monitor GAP, Control Assistant,
or the stand-alone SOS Servlink OPC Server. The install program will guide you
through various choices in the installation process.
42 Woodward
Running the SOS Servlink OPC Server

If you attempt to make an OPC connection with a tool like Monitor GAP or
Control Assistant, you will see a dialog like the following:
If you select the options “Servlink OPC server” and “Local Server”, as above, it
will cause the SOS Servlink OPC server to run on your machine. If it was already
running from a previous use, it will use that instance.
If this is the first time the Servlink OPC Server has run on your machine, you will
see the following interface:
Most likely, you will want to use the “Connect TCP” option, because it is faster
and requires less configuration than the “Connect Serial” option. To connect
TCP, it is necessary to type in or select the IP Address of the control(s) you want
to communicate with.
Woodward 43
After the control has connected, you can close or minimize the Servlink OPC
server window. It will go to the system tray (probably at the bottom-right of your
PC monitor) where it looks like this:
The next time you run an application that uses the SOS Servlink OPC server, it
will attempt to resume connections to the same controls as in the previous
session.
If you want to modify the connections or operating parameters of the Servlink

OPC Server, double-click on the icon in the system tray at any time. To add or
remove connections, select from the Session menu:
The “New Session” command will result in a dialog (as above) that allows you to
select a new TCP or Serial connection.
The sessions that are running on the Servlink OPC server determine which
controls’ values your OPC clients (like Control Assistant and Monitor GAP) will
have access to.
44 Woodward
Using the SOS Servlink OPC Server with

Cyber Secure CPUs
Under the Options menu, there is a “Security” tab used to interface with Cyber
Secure CPUs.
SOS will establish a Secure Connection to the Control if a Valid Username and
Password is supplied and the “Enable OPC security interface” is NOT checked.
If the Enable OPC security interface IS checked, SOS will defer the Username
and Password credentials to the connecting device. Currently GAP3 and Control
Assistant 4 support this interface. For tools which are not OPC Security aware,
like old versions of Control Assistant or GAP, the Enable OPC security interface
should not be checked and a valid Username and Password must be supplied.
NOTE: See SOS help for additional information.
Using the SOS Servlink OPC Server with

Non-Woodward OPC Client Tools
The client tool should have an interface for selecting an installed OPC server.
The name of the Woodward Servlink OPC Server is
“Woodward.ServlinkOpcDa.1”
The HMI tool can launch Woodward’s Servlink OPC Server or it can be launched
manually by running the file “SOS.exe” from the install directory. Connections
can be managed as in the above example (“Running the SOS Servlink OPC
Server”).
The client tool should also have an interface for selecting values. The Servlink
OPC values in GAP follow the following naming pattern:
“<Control ID>.<GAP tag name>”
Woodward 45
For example: “VXM11184.EMDRP_RMP.IN_RAMP.RAMP”
If you previously had a Woodward control with an embedded OPC server

connected to an OPC-based HMI, you will have to update the OPC server name
and tags to match these conventions.
Using WinPanel in Control Assistant

WinPanel is supported on the MicroNet™ Plus and Atlas-II. Some menu
functions may be disabled (gray) because of the state of the system. If a right
mouse click is performed on the target CPU, the following functions are displayed
(see Figure 4-2):

As part of a best practices commissioning process, Woodward

recommends that any saved tunable settings be validated (following
any Save operation), by power-cycling the control and re-verifying
the values.

Internet/Ethernet Information
Internet Protocol
The Internet Protocol, (IP), is a network layer Internet protocol. IP facilitates
communication from the two Transport Layer Protocols, TCP (Transmission
Control Protocol) and UDP. (User Datagram Protocol). They run on top of the IP
layer and are identified by Port Numbers.
IP Addresses
The IP address is a 32-bit number made up of four, 3-bit segments separated by
periods. The Subnet Mask controls which bits are the network identifier and
which bits are the station identifier. (The binary 1’s mark which bits of the IP
address represent the network identifier. The binary 0’s indicate which bits of the
IP address is your device ID#—for example, a Subnet Mask of 255.255.0.0 =
11111111.11111111.00000000.00000000.) The first 16 bits of the IP address
identify the network, and the last 16 bits identify the device.
There are three classes (sizes) of IP networks: A, B, and C. Classes are

determined by how many unique devices and sub networks are possible based
on how many of the IP address bits are used for designating the network number
and how many bits are identifying the device number. A network identifier
between 192—223 is class C size, because the first three bits of the IP
addresses are used to identify the network.
Some IP address ranges are reserved. Consult your Network

Administrator if you want a “fixed/static” IP address for a control.
The Gateway is a device or computer that forwards data to a destination on

another domain. The Port number is a logical number that increases the number
of devices that can talk without increasing IP addresses. Port Numbers 1-1024
are reserved for protocols such as HTTP, POP, FTP etc. Port numbers 1025 to
65000 are available for our typical PC, MicroNet™ Plus, MicroNet™, and Atlas-
II™ sessions.
Logging on to a Network in DHCP Mode

When a device running TCP/IP, (MicroNet Plus, Atlas-II, PC) logs onto a
network, it sends out a DHCP Discover message. The DHCP server receives the
message and sends out an IP address with the subnet mask and a lease time to
the hardware or MAC address of the device. (A typical lease is 30 days.) The
device broadcasts a message of acceptance, implements the new identity, and is
ready for TCP/IP sessions. The host has Address Mapped the device and
associates its MAC address with its IP address.
The MicroNet Plus Cyber Secure CPU does not support DHCP mode.
Only fixed IP addresses are supported.
Woodward 49
Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP)

The MicroNet Plus or Atlas-II can be configured as a SNTP Client. Using
AppManager, the SNTP Server address and update time can be configured.
Using AppManager the control network settings may be changed as follows:

2. You should see the control’s Computer Name in the AppManager window.
Select the control’s Computer Name. If it didn’t show up, check your
connections and verify the Link lights are on.
down menu, and select “Change Network Settings”.
50 Woodward
4. In the SNTP grouping, check the Enable box, enter the IPAddress for the
SNTP Server on the network, and enter the update rate (seconds).
5. Select “Yes” to change the settings.
6. A message will appear stating that the control settings have been changed
and prompt to reboot the control.
Woodward 51
GAP and Ethernet

We typically use UDP blocks in GAP to talk Modbus through Ethernet ports. UDP
is mainly used for time-sensitive, low-priority data and has no reliability
associated with this layer. Transmission is in small, static-size packets. The
sender assumes all packets are received and normally doesn’t re-transmit.
However, in MicroNet, MicroNet Plus, and Atlas-II, the “Modbus“ blocks (C code)
tells the master to send data to the slave, and the slave will normally accept the
data and respond to the master, so the communications loop will not produce any
errors. Should the slave not accept the data (if it receives invalid or no data), the
slave will not respond. The master will wait for its time-out period to expire and
re-send to the slave. If the master again does not get a response from the slave,
the master will generate a Link Error. In addition, the slave is looking for the
master to talk to it at static time intervals. If it doesn’t get a transmission, it will
generate a Link Error. The UDP header consists of [Source Port, Destination
Port, Header Length, and Checksum].
Internet Vocabulary
IP Internet Protocol—Designed to link networks together.
IP Address 32-bit number made up of four 3-bit segments separated
by periods.
TCP Transmission Control Protocol—Designed to link
networks together.
UDP User Datagram Protocol—Connectionless/ Host to Host
protocol in the Transport Layer of IP.
DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol—Automates the IP
address assignment.
Gateway A device or computer that forwards data to a destination
on another domain.
Subnet Mask The binary 1’s mark which bits of the IP address is the
network. The 0’s are your stations ID#.
Port A logical number that increases the number of devices
that can talk without increasing IP addresses.
MAC Media Access Control—A unique 48-bit number burned
into the hardware of the device.
Address Mapping When a host broadcasts to all MACs and associates its
IP address to its MAC address when it responds.

Service Options
CPUs sent into Woodward for repair will be reconfigured to the

default settings. This includes Accounts, Passwords, and Network
configurations.
Product Service Options

If you are experiencing problems with the installation, or unsatisfactory
performance of a Woodward product, the following options are available:
 Consult the troubleshooting guide in the manual.
 Contact the manufacturer or packager of your system.
 Contact the Woodward Full Service Distributor serving your area.
 Contact Woodward technical assistance (see “How to Contact Woodward”
later in this chapter) and discuss your problem. In many cases, your
problem can be resolved over the phone. If not, you can select which course
of action to pursue based on the available services listed in this chapter.
OEM and Packager Support: Many Woodward controls and control devices are
installed into the equipment system and programmed by an Original Equipment
Manufacturer (OEM) or Equipment Packager at their factory. In some cases, the
programming is password-protected by the OEM or packager, and they are the best
source for product service and support. Warranty service for Woodward products
shipped with an equipment system should also be handled through the OEM or
Packager. Please review your equipment system documentation for details.
Woodward Business Partner Support: Woodward works with and supports a

global network of independent business partners whose mission is to serve the
users of Woodward controls, as described here:
 A Full Service Distributor has the primary responsibility for sales, service,
system integration solutions, technical desk support, and aftermarket
marketing of standard Woodward products within a specific geographic area
and market segment.
 An Authorized Independent Service Facility (AISF) provides authorized
service that includes repairs, repair parts, and warranty service on Woodward's
behalf. Service (not new unit sales) is an AISF's primary mission.
 A Recognized Engine Retrofitter (RER) is an independent company that
does retrofits and upgrades on reciprocating gas engines and dual-fuel
conversions, and can provide the full line of Woodward systems and
components for the retrofits and overhauls, emission compliance upgrades,

Woodward Factory Servicing Options

The following factory options for servicing Woodward products are available
through your local Full-Service Distributor or the OEM or Packager of the
equipment system, based on the standard Woodward Product and Service
Warranty (5-01-1205) that is in effect at the time the product is originally shipped
from Woodward or a service is performed:
 Replacement/Exchange (24-hour service)
 Flat Rate Repair
 Flat Rate Remanufacture
Replacement/Exchange: Replacement/Exchange is a premium program

designed for the user who is in need of immediate service. It allows you to
request and receive a like-new replacement unit in minimum time (usually within
24 hours of the request), providing a suitable unit is available at the time of the
request, thereby minimizing costly downtime. This is a flat-rate program and
includes the full standard Woodward product warranty (Woodward Product and
Service Warranty 5-01-1205).
This option allows you to call your Full-Service Distributor in the event of an
unexpected outage, or in advance of a scheduled outage, to request a
replacement control unit. If the unit is available at the time of the call, it can
usually be shipped out within 24 hours. You replace your field control unit with
the like-new replacement and return the field unit to the Full-Service Distributor.
Charges for the Replacement/Exchange service are based on a flat rate plus
shipping expenses. You are invoiced the flat rate replacement/exchange charge
plus a core charge at the time the replacement unit is shipped. If the core (field
unit) is returned within 60 days, a credit for the core charge will be issued.
Flat Rate Repair: Flat Rate Repair is available for the majority of standard
products in the field. This program offers you repair service for your products with
the advantage of knowing in advance what the cost will be. All repair work carries
the standard Woodward service warranty (Woodward Product and Service
Warranty 5-01-1205) on replaced parts and labor.
Flat Rate Remanufacture: Flat Rate Remanufacture is very similar to the Flat
Rate Repair option with the exception that the unit will be returned to you in “like-
new” condition and carry with it the full standard Woodward product warranty
(Woodward Product and Service Warranty 5-01-1205). This option is applicable
to mechanical products only.
Returning Equipment for Repair

If a control (or any part of an electronic control) is to be returned for repair,
please contact your Full-Service Distributor in advance to obtain Return
Authorization and shipping instructions.
When shipping the item(s), attach a tag with the following information:
 return authorization number;
 name and location where the control is installed;
 name and phone number of contact person;
 complete Woodward part number(s) and serial number(s);
 description of the problem;
 instructions describing the desired type of repair.
