Electrostatic
Precautions
Follow these precautions when working with or near the control.
1. Avoid the build-up of static electricity on your body by not wearing clothing made of synthetic
materials. Wear cotton or cotton-blend materials as much as possible because these do not store
static electric charges as much as synthetics.
2. Do not remove the printed circuit board (PCB) from the control cabinet unless absolutely necessary.
If you must remove the PCB from the control cabinet, follow these precautions:
•Do not touch any part of the PCB except the edges.
•Do not touch the electrical conductors, the connectors, or the components with conductive
devices or with your hands.
•When replacing a PCB, keep the new PCB in the plastic antistatic protective bag it comes in
until you are ready to install it. Immediately after removing the old PCB from the control cabinet,
place it in the antistatic protective bag.
•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.

The QuickTrip trip block assembly is designed for use in gas or steam turbine shutdown systems for quick
and reliable dumping of the turbine’s trip oil header. This integrated trip block assembly is intended for
use on mechanical-drive or generator-drive gas or steam turbines that use low-pressure (up to 34.5 bar /
500 psi) hydraulic trip oil headers.
The QuickTrip’s fault tolerant design makes it ideal for critical gas or steam turbine applications, where
turbine up-time and availability are essential. This trip block assembly’s 2-out-of-3 voting design provides
users with a very high level of system reliability as well as compliance with industry standard API-670.
This trip block assembly is designed to allow turbine controls and/or turbine safety systems to quickly
dump (bleed off) hydraulic header pressure during emergency trip or normal trip conditions. When applied
in conjunction with Woodward’s ProTechTPS logic solver, the QuickTrip allows users to independently
test each trip leg to verify operation and trip time. API-670 5th edition requires that all components except
for the final element (trip valve) shall be routinely tested while the turbine is in operation.
With the use of trip solenoids which respond in less than 50 milliseconds, the QuickTrip is designed for
gas or steam turbine trip systems where it is imperative the entire trip system shut the system trip valve
as quickly as possible.
The QuickTrip’s robust design (corrosion resistant materials, three independent moving rotary valves, and
self-cleaning port design) makes it optimal for challenging applications where dirty or contaminated oil
may be present.
The QuickTrip is certified for use in IEC61508 based turbine safety systems, and when paired with the
Woodward ProTechTPS, can be applied into systems that require a “Safety Integrity Level – 3” rating or
below.
Designed for use in new or retrofit turbine packages, the QuickTrip’s compact package size allows it to be
located near the turbine and trip & throttle valve, minimizing trip header piping and related system delays.
Each trip leg includes bright position indication LEDs (run & trip) to allow turbine operators to quickly
verify system status locally near the turbine as well as integrated limit switches for safety system and
plant DCS status and health validation.
The QuickTrip is an IEC61508 safety certified electro-hydraulic trip block assembly designed for use in
gas or steam turbine shutdown systems for quick and reliable dumping of the turbine’s trip oil header.
This trip block assembly’s 2-out of-3 voting design provides users with a high level of system reliability as
well as compliance with industry standards like API-670, API-612, and API-611.
This trip block assembly is housed in a fully integrated package which includes three patented dirttolerant rotary trip valves. These valves are connected to provide redundant two-out-of-three based voting
to ensure that a failure of any one component (electronics module, valve, wiring, connector, etc.) does not
result in a nuisance trip condition. The QuickTrip’s modular design also allows users to replace critical
components (electrical module, solenoid, wiring, etc.) while the turbine is operating on-line.
Designed to quickly and reliably bleed off trip oil header pressure, at least two of the QuickTrip's three
rotary solenoid valves must be de-energized to open a bleed path from the trip oil header to system drain.
The QuickTrip accepts one or two (redundant) 24 Vdc power sources to power each solenoid, and uses
three independent discrete input shutdown commands from a safety logic solver like the Woodward
ProTechTPS (independent voted models) to test and control each solenoid valve.
Because gas and steam turbines are often used in hazardous locations where flammable gases may be
present, the QuickTrip is designed to be mounted next to the turbine and is certified for use in Zone-1 or
Zone-2 (Class 1 or Class 2) hazardous locations.
When packaged with a Woodward ProTechTPS safety logic solver, the ProTechTPS performs the
required routine safety system diagnostic tests to verify unit operation while the turbine is on-line, and the
proof test trip time response monitoring and logging ensures the total turbine safety system can respond
fast enough to safely shutdown the turbine.
The total installed cost for this fully integrated trip block assembly is low because it has been completely
assembled and tested at the factory. This greatly reduces OEM and end-user fabrication time, installation
time, and testing time.
Dirt Tolerance
The QuickTrip is specifically designed for gas and steam turbine applications where turbine lube oil is
also used to power the hydraulic turbine control valve actuator(s). Gas and steam turbine applications can
be extremely challenging for hydraulic trip block assemblies as dirt, metal shavings, water, and other
contaminants (Babbitt, ammonia, etc.) are common in such oil systems. Also due to the high
temperatures at which turbines operate, turbine oil breakdown is common, resulting in the creation of a
sludge-type substance and the varnishing of internal system components. However, the QuickTrip is
designed to operate reliably within such challenging applications. Its corrosion-resistant materials, rotary
valve design, and self-cleaning ports allow it to operate in such applications without experiencing
undesirable sticking or dragging.
In the past, older style trip block assemblies utilized internal orifices and pressure gauges to verify
solenoid valve operation, causing many maintenance problems when applied in turbine lube-oil-powered
trip systems. Since the QuickTrip does not utilize problematic orifices or pressure gauges, maintenance is
reduced and system reliability improved.
Valve Status (local & remote)
Each valve solenoid accepts power for one or two (redundant) power sources and has the following
status indications to assist operators with understanding the status and health of each valve.
• Valve Open—Local LED (red)
• Valve Open—Limit Switch
• Valve Closed—Local LED (green)
• Valve Closed—Limit Switch
• Power Supply #1 Healthy—Local LED (blue)
• Power Supply #2 Healthy—Local LED (blue)
Redundancy/Availability
Designed for use in critical gas and steam turbine applications where turbine up time is important, the
QuickTrip uses three isolated solenoid valves designed to be driven by a triple modular redundant 2-outof-3 voting based safety logic solver. Each isolated solenoid valve uses redundant power supply inputs to
increase both system reliability and availability. Note: Only one power source is required to
power/energize each of the isolated solenoid valves.
On-Line Repairable
The QuickTrip’s modular design allows independent repair/replacement of each valve’s solenoid,
electrical module, and associated power supplies and wiring to increase both system reliability and
availability. Note: Only one power source is required to power/energize each of the isolated solenoid
valves.
The QuickTrip is made up of the following major components:
1. Hydraulic Manifold
2. Three Independently Actuated, Spring Return Rotary Trip Valves
3. Feedback Sensors: Limit Switches
4. Integrated Electric Actuators and Electronics Modules
Figure 1-1. QuickTrip, Key Features
Rotary Trip Valves
All three of the QuickTrip’s trip valves are spring return, two position rotary valves. When any of the
hydraulic valves is in its closed position, the ports in the valve are blocked preventing hydraulic flow
through the valve. As a valve rotates to the tripped position, the ports open and the trip header pressure
is connected to either the drain, or the inlet ports of another one of the valves. The combined action of the
three valves results in trip header pressure being connected to drain only when 2 or 3 valves are tripped.
If the unit detects any shutdown condition or loss of power occurs, the trip valve return springs will force
the valves to the fail-safe / tripped position.
Electric Valve Actuators
The QuickTrip uses a set of three unique rotary solenoids called limited angle torquers (LAT). The
permanent magnet rotor is directly coupled to the trip valve.
The position of the valves is sensed by two limit switches present on each of the electrical modules.
These limit switches are located on both the closed and tripped positions of the valves, allowing the user
to easily determine the position of each valve.
Electronic Driver Modules (PCB)
The printed circuit boards (PCB) are mounted on of the top of each valve module. The PCB(s) performs
the following tasks:
Discrete outputs are provided for position feedback indication of each valve module. Within each valve
module, there are also four LEDs that indicate the current condition of the module as well as power
supply health. These LEDs are viewable through the transparent sight window of the module covers.

code 20/18/16 or cleaner. A filter of size 20 micron or smaller is recommended with a beta ratio of at least
200 (95.5% efficiency) in order to prevent large particles (50 microns or larger) from entering the
QuickTrip valves.
The tubing connected to the actuator must be constructed to eliminate any transfer of vibration or other
forces to the actuator.
The hydraulic supply and drain to the QuickTrip are to be at least 25 mm (1 inch), or larger, tubing
capable of flowing up to 908 L/min (240 US gal/min) at 34.5 bar / 500 psig.
The drain pressure must not exceed 10% of trip header pressure or 3.4 bar (50 psig), whichever is less,
under any condition.

Electrical Connections
An overall electrical wiring diagram is shown in Figure 3-3. Detailed wiring requirements for these
connections will follow in the remainder of the Electrical Connections section.
Figure 3-2. Electrical Wiring Diagram
Input Power
The QuickTrip requires a power source capable of a supplying the necessary output voltage and current
at full transient conditions. The maximum power in watts (W) of a DC source can be calculated by
multiplying the rated output voltage by the maximum output current capability. The calculated power
rating of the supply should be greater than or equal to QuickTrip requirements. The electrical power
supply should be able to provide 8 A (or 2.6 A per channel) at
24 Vdc continuously, with a peak of 10 A for 100 milliseconds.
Cable selection and sizing are very important to avoid power loss during operation. The power supply
input at the electronic module input terminal must always provide the required nominal voltage to operate
the valve.
If redundancy option is not used, both (+) signals (Termi
nal #2 and
Released
The input power wires must comply with local code requirements and be of sufficient size such that the
power supply voltage minus the IR loss in the two lead wires to the QuickTrip valve electronics module
does not drop below the input minimum voltage requirement.
The QuickTrip is not equipped with an input power disconnect. A means of disconnecting input power to
the QuickTrip must be provided for safe installation and servicing.
The QuickTrip is not equipped with input power protection. A means of protecting input power to the
QuickTrip must be provided. Breakers or fuses are intended to protect installation wiring and power
sources from faults in the QuickTrip or wiring. A circuit breaker meeting the requirements from the table
below, or a separate protection with the appropriate ratings, may be used for this purpose.
Refer to the table below for recommended fuse ratings or circuit breakers.
The QuickTrip is capable of connecting two redundant power supplies to each valve electronics module.
The following table presents terminal assignment for this option usage.

Terminal #4) should be connected together at the terminal.
Although the QuickTrip is protected against input voltage transients, good wiring practices must be
followed. The following drawings illustrate correct and incorrect wiring methods to the power supply.
The unit housing must be grounded using the designated PE ground connection point (see Figure 2-8a).
For the PE connection, use required type (typically green/yellow, 3.3 mm² / 12 AWG) as necessary to
meet the installation safety ground requirements. Torque the ground lug to 1.7-2.3 Nm (15-20 in-lbf).
safety ground requirements, no additional PE ground is required.
Tie down points and ratcheting tie wraps are provided to secure the wiring to the PCB mounting plate.
This helps prevent wire strain from being transmitted to the connection at the terminal block and to keep
the wiring from chafing on the cover when tightening and under vibration. Failure to secure the wiring
could result in intermittent connections resulting in intermittent operation or shutdown conditions.
Additional wire service length should be allowed between the tie down points and the connectors to
reduce strain on the wire at the connector interface and to allow removal of the black pluggable
connector.

Shield Installation Notes
• Wires exposed beyond the shield should be as short as possible, not exceeding 50 mm (2 inches).
• The shield termination wire (or drain wire) should be kept as short as possible, not exceeding 50 mm
(2 inches), and where possible the diameter should be maximized.
•Installations with severe electromagnetic interference (EMI) may require additional shielding
precautions. Contact Woodward for more information.
•Do not ground shield on both ends, except where permitted by the control wiring diagram.
Failure to provide shielding can produce future conditions which are difficult to diagnose. Proper
shielding, at the time of installation is required to ensure satisfactory operation of the product.
Control Input
The QuickTrip valves are controlled with the independent trip relay outputs from a trip system logic solver
such as the Woodward ProTechTPS.
Note: When used with the ProTechTPS, external power is not necessary for these inputs. All voltage
and isolation is provided within the ProTechTPS (24 Vdc, 0.5 A).
Trip Points:
• If the Input voltage drops below14 Vdc, then the input will detect a Trip state.
• If the Input voltage rises above 15 Vdc, then the input will detect a Run state.
Control Input Isolation: 500 Vac from Input to chassis.

• Shielding: The Control Inputs are unshielded; however, the wires should be kept in a twisted
configuration for noise immunity.
Position Feedback
There are two outputs for valve position feedback on each of the QuickTrip’s three valve modules (12
outputs total). Each of the two outputs features redundant connections. Both TRIP outputs and both RUN
outputs operate as normally open. The outputs can be wired to either switch load from positive supply or
switch load to ground. The user must supply the external 24 V supply for the output to function properly. If
using the Woodward ProTech TPS logic solver, the voltage may be supplied using the on-board discrete
power terminals (24 Vdc, 0.050 A).

Wiring
The QuickTrip has three, 3/4 inch (19 mm) NPT wiring entries.
When using cable and cable glands, the gland fitting must meet the same hazardous locations criteria as
the QuickTrip. Follow all installation recommendations and special conditions for safe use that are
supplied with the cable gland. The cable insulation must have a temperature rating of at least
85 °C and 10 °C above the maximum ambient and fluid temperature.
Strip the cable insulation (not the wire insulation) to expose 12 mm (1/2 inch) of the conductors. Strip the
wire insulation 5 mm from each conductor. Mark wires according to their designation and install
connectors, if required.
Remove the top access cover(s). Pass the wires through the cable gland (not provided) or conduit fitting
and attach wires to the printed circuit board terminal blocks in accordance with the wiring diagram.
Secure each wire into connector terminal using a 2.5 mm flat screwdriver blade, applying a torque of 0.2-
0.25 Nm (1.75-2.25 in-lbf). Snap the terminal blocks into the header terminal blocks on the PCB.Tighten
the terminal block flange screws to 0.5 Nm (4.4 in-lbf). Replace the top access cover and torque it using
a 1 meter bar or wrench; tightening until the O-ring seal is compressed and the cover is fully seated
against the housing.
Tighten the cable gland fitting per manufacturer’s instructions or pour the conduit seal to provide strain
relief for the cable and to seal the interface between the wiring cable and the QuickTrip modules.
In order to preserve the QuickTrip’s online reparability, each of the three electrical actuator cavities must
be kept isolated from each other. This allows any individual actuator requiring repair to be electrically deenergized, repaired and placed back online while maintaining safe operation of QuickTrip in potentially
explosive environments.

The calibration and checkout procedure should only be performed by
authorized personnel. To be authorized personnel, personnel must
be knowledgeable of the risks posed by live electrical equipment.
Each QuickTrip consists of three independently operated modules referred to as A, B and C. Each
module accepts two redundant power inputs, one control signal input (to energize or de-energize the
actuator) and includes two trip feedback outputs (for de-energized/valve open state) and two run
feedback outputs (for energized/valve closed state). A logic solver, such as the Woodward ProTechTPS
or MicroNet Safety Module, is required to provide the control input signal and to monitor the feedback
outputs. The QuickTrip is a SIL-3 (according to IEC-61508) triple modular design that operates in a twoout-of-three voting logic method. This means the QuickTrip will continue to function normally even if one
module is not operating correctly. It also means any module can be repaired online while the turbine is
on-line and operating normally.
Operation with ProTechTPS
QuickTrip is designed for use with a logic solver such as the Woodward ProTechTPS or MicroNet Safety
Module. If another logic solver is used, consult that manufacturer’s user’s manual for instructions for
interface, configuration and operation with QuickTrip. This section provides an overview of operating the
QuickTrip with ProTechTPS. For more detailed information, please consult the ProTechTPS product
manual.
Energizing QuickTrip Modules
With no alarm conditions present, any QuickTrip module can be energized by pressing the “RESET”
button on the ProTechTPS front panel. This places QuickTrip into a run mode (valves closed).
Tripping QuickTrip modules
Any QuickTrip module can be individually tripped by performing a simulated speed test (manual or auto).
These tests can be accessed through the ProTechTPS front panel display by pressing “Test Menu”. Refer
to ProTechTPS manual 26501V2, Chapter 11 for additional information.
Performing Auto-Sequence Test (Periodic Overspeed Test)
Since QuickTrip is a critical part of the turbine overspeed safety system, it is important to perform a
regular Auto-Sequence Test in order to verify unit health and to take advantage of the diagnostic
coverage provided by this test. The Auto-Sequence Test initiates an automated and sequential test of
each individual module and can be performed without interrupting turbine operation. The test begins with
ProTech module A automatically ramping up the module’s internal frequency generator until it exceeds
the overspeed set point at which time the control signal is interrupted and the QuickTrip module trips.
Then, this module resets and the test is repeated, sequentially, on modules B and C. Refer to
ProTechTPS manual 26501V2, Chapter 11 for additional information.
The Auto-Sequence Test can be accessed through the ProTechTPS front panel display by pressing “Test
Menu”, then “Auto-Sequence Test”. This test should be configured to run automatically by enabling the
Periodic Test Timer (set to “YES”). The Periodic Test Timer Interval should also be set. This interval can
be configured for intervals ranging from 1 to 999 days. Woodward recommends this interval be set
between 1 and 7 days in order to continually ensure QuickTrip health and to maintain its reliability when
used with dirty hydraulic oil. Refer to ProTechTPS manual 26501V2, Chapters 10 and 11 for additional
information.
View Trip Log
The trip log displays a log of any trip events. The trip log can be accessed by pressing the “VIEW” button
directly underneath the “TRIPPED” LED indicator on the ProTechTPS front panel. Refer to ProTechTPS
manual 26501V2, Chapter 9 for additional information.
The alarm log displays a log of any alarm events that may or may not have resulted in a trip event. The
alarm log can be accessed by pressing the “VIEW” button directly underneath the “ALARM” LED indicator
on the ProTechTPS front panel. Refer to ProTechTPS manual 26501V2, Chapter 9 for additional
information.
Manually Monitoring Trip Cycle Time Log
ProTech can be configured to monitor the trip time for each QuickTrip module (see below). This trip time
can be checked through the ProTechTPS front panel display by pressing “View Logs”, then “Trip Cycle
Time Log”. This log displays the last 20 trip events and the time from when the control signal was
dropped to the time the QuickTrip valve rotated to the open position and the trip position sensor
annunciated a trip signal back to ProTech. Refer to ProTechTPS manual 26501V2, Chapters 9 and 11 for
additional information.
Configuration Options
In order to detect certain failure modes and provide diagnostic coverage for the QuickTrip, the following
configuration recommendations are provided.
1. Trip Time Monitor
Since QuickTrip is a critical part of the turbine overspeed safety system and needs to perform its
safety function quickly, it is important to continuously monitor the trip time to ensure it remains below
a certain threshold. Woodward recommends a threshold of 100 ms, but the installation site should set
this value such that the entire safety system performs is function within a safe timeframe. The Trip
Cycle Time Monitor can be accessed through the ProTech “Monitor” Menu. Refer to ProTechTPS
manual 26501V2, Chapter 9 for additional information.
2. Trip Alarm
ProTech should be configured to annunciate an alarm when any QuickTrip module annunciates a
tripped state (through the trip feedback circuit). This will provide early warning for a QuickTrip module
that fails to remain in a run state (valve fails to remain closed) when the turbine is running. Refer to
ProTechTPS manual 26501V2, Chapters 9 and 11 for additional information.
3. Run Alarm (optional)
ProTech may be configured to detect an event where the ProTechTPS module is commanded to a
run state, but QuickTrip fails to annunciate a run state (through the run feedback circuit) within a
certain timeframe (Ex. 5 sec). This configuration is optional, but may provide early warning for a
QuickTrip module that fails to energize to a run state (valve fails to close) when commanded to do so.
Refer to ProTechTPS manual 26501V2, Chapters 9 and 11 for additional information.
4. Power Failure Alarm
With input power properly applied to any QuickTrip module, that module will normally annunciate
either a run or a trip signal since the valve for that module will either be in a run or trip state. If no run
or trip signal is annunciated, then the power supplies that power QuickTrip may not be functioning.
The run and trip position switches actuate normally open relays that are operated by the same power
supplies that power the QuickTrip module. Without these power supplies, both relays and both trip
and run position annunciation outputs revert to normally open (Refer to Figure 3-2). ProTechTPS may
be configured to detect the case where one (if only one PS is used) or both power supplies fail to
provide power to any QuickTrip module. In this case, the ProTechTPS would be configured to
annunciate an alarm if both the run and the trip feedback are inactive (open) for some amount of time
(Ex. 5 seconds). Note that when the valve changes position and travels from closed to open or from
open to closed, both feedbacks will be momentarily open since the valve is in motion from one state
to another and is not actuating the trip or the run position switch during the time the valve is moving.
Also note that, if the power supplies are not functioning, the two blue LED’s on the electronics module
(PCBA) will also not be lit (see Valve Position Feedback below). Reference ProTechTPS manual
26501V2, Chapter 11 for additional information.
There are three methods by which to determine the position of any QuickTrip module valve element:
The position feedback circuits, actuated through the valve position sensors (ref wiring diagram in Figure
3-2).
1. When any QuickTrip module is in a tripped state (de-energized, valve open), the trip position sensor
switch is actuated, energizing a relay that closes the trip feedback circuits*. At the same time, the red
trip LED is on (see LED lamps below)*.
o When any QuickTrip module is in a run state (energized, valve closed), the run position sensor
switch is actuated, energizing a relay that closes the run feedback circuits*. At the same time,
the green run LED is on (see LED lamps below)*.
2. The LED lamps on the electronics module (PCBA), visible through the sight window in the top of the
electronics cover.
o When any QuickTrip module is in a tripped state (de-energized, valve open), the red trip LED is
on*.
o When any QuickTrip module is in a run state (energized, valve closed), the green run LED is
on*.
Note: The QuickTrip module must also be connected to an active power source (reference Figure 3-
3).
3. The pressure ports on the front of the QuickTrip manifold.
o While the position feedback circuits and LED’s are the preferred method to determine module
valve position, three pressure ports are provided on the front of the QuickTrip unit. These
may be connected to pressure gages or pressure transducers and may be used to determine
the state of any module valve element. The image in Figure 4-1 below shows these pressure
ports. Note that Pressure Port B is not used. These ports are for standard dash-4 straight
thread port fittings (7/16-20 thread size).
pressure is applied. All required hydraulic connections must be
made before hydraulic pressure is applied. Hydraulic test ports
provided for use by authorized service personnel only.
o The following logic table shows the approximate pressure that can be expected at each
pressure port for any QuickTrip state where only one valve is open.

* P1 is equal to the Trip Header Pressure at the inlet to QuickTrip
If performing a cold-start of QuickTrip in very cold ambient environment conditions (temperatures between
-40 °C to +15 °C), both the hydraulic oil within the QuickTrip manifold and the QuickTrip manifold itself
must undergo a warmup procedure prior to starting the turbine to ensure the QuickTrip will operate within
specified performance limits. In particular, slew open times increase at lower hydraulic fluid temperatures
due to the higher viscosity (lower fluidity) of the hydraulic oil.
Before starting the QuickTrip, follow the warm-up procedure below:
1. De-energize all QuickTrip modules (valves should be open)
2. Start flow of warm hydraulic fluid through QuickTrip such that the temperature of the oil flowing from
the drain side of QuickTrip is at or above +15 °C.
3. Allow the warm hydraulic fluid to flow through QuickTrip for at least 30 minutes, while maintaining the
temperature at the drain side of QuickTrip at or above +15 °C.
4. Energize all QuickTrip modules
5. Use the ProTechTPS to run an auto sequence test on QuickTrip (sequentially de-energizing and re-
energizing each channel individually)
6. After the auto sequence test is complete, check the trip time log and verify each QuickTrip module
tripped in less than 50 ms.
7. If QuickTrip is to be operated continuously in very cold ambient environment conditions, the hydraulic
oil temperature flowing from the drain side of QuickTrip must be continuously maintained above +15
°C.
8. Alternate methods of heating/insulating the QuickTrip and the hydraulic fluid lines upstream from
QuickTrip in very cold ambient environment conditions are recommended and might include the use
of heat tape, heat blankets and insulation.

Cleaning/Flushing the QuickTrip Hydraulic Cavities
Cleaning/Flushing QuickTrip Hydraulic Cavities procedure:
If QuickTrip is not operating normally or if a contaminant is known to have entered the QuickTrip hydraulic
cavities, the QuickTrip cleaning/flushing procedure may be performed as follows.
1. Eliminate the source of the contamination either by polishing the hydraulic supply or by replacing the
hydraulic supply with clean hydraulic oil.
2. Flow clean hydraulic oil through the QuickTrip at a maximum pressure of 500 psi, while manually
stroking the valves using the Manual Stroking procedures above. Make sure to stroke all valves to an
open position in order to ensure maximum oil flow through QuickTrip, then close the valves and
repeat the process several times.
3. If the above procedure has been performed several times and QuickTrip still does not operate
normally or the contaminant has not been flushed from the system, the valve may require repair.
Consult the Troubleshooting and Service Options sections of this manual.

controls and contacts are correct and in good working order. Complete the checks in order. Each check
assumes that the preceding checks have been completed and any problems have been corrected.
The functional safety requirement in this manual applies to all QuickTrip variations.
These products are certified for use in applications up to SIL3 according to
The QuickTrip is designed so that the safe state is configured for de-energize to trip. De-energize to trip
will place the valves into their open state.
The de-energize-to-trip functionality is implemented such that a complete loss of power to the module
results in a trip of that module. When power is again supplied to the electrical modules, they will power up
in the tripped state when a trip condition is present or in the run state when a run condition is present.

SIL Specifications
PFD and PFH calculations have been performed on the QuickTrip according
IEC61508. For SIL3, IEC states the following requirements.
Table 6-2. Calculation Types and SIL 3 Values
PFH ≥ 10-8 to < 10-7
PFD ≥ 10-4 to < 10-3
SFF ≥ 60% to < 90%
Note: In order to maintain the dirt tolerance and to verify correct function of the QuickTrip, it is
recommended that the proof test interval be set to between 1 and 7 days. If using the ProTechTPS,
refer to Auto-Sequence Test in Chapter 4. If using a different logic solver, refer to that manufacturer’s
product manual for instructions on conducting and automating the proof test.

Failure Rate Data
The Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) is a measure of time between failures that cause a complete
process shutdown. In determining this number, IEC61508 evaluation takes into account safe failure and
dangerous detected failures that cause a module trip.
Table 6-6. MTBF Value
4.95E6 hrs
Because of the nature of the 2-o-o-3 voting structure, a single module trip does not shut down the
process.
Response time data
The response time for a safety system must be less than the process safety time.
The system integrator must determine the process safety time and the response time of all elements
(sensors, logic solver, QuickTrip, actuators, etc.) that make up the total process safety time. For this
purpose, the QuickTrip response time is given below.
Table 6-7. QuickTrip Response Time Value
QuickTrip Response Time < 50 ms
The response time of the QuickTrip is the time from when the control signal is removed from the
QuickTrip terminal block to the point where the valves have rotated to their full open position (ref Figure 61 below).
These limitations are critical to the SIL certification. See Ch. 2 for a

Management of Functional Safety
The QuickTrip is intended for use according the requirements of a safety lifecycle management process
such as IEC61508 or IEC61511. The safety performance numbers in this chapter can be used for the
evaluation of the overall safety lifecycle.
The user must complete a full functional check of the QuickTrip after initial installation, and after any
modification of the programming of the logic solver or configuration of the device. This functional check
should include as much of the safety system as possible, such as sensors, transmitters, actuators and trip
blocks. When used with the Woodward ProTechTPS, the ProTechTPS has the capability to facilitate the
automatic checkout and periodic maintenance of the safety system. For help on programming, see the
chapters on functionality, configuration and the example applications in the ProTechTPS manual.
The QuickTrip must be used within the published specification in this manual.
Competence of Personnel
All persons involved in the installation and maintenance of the QuickTrip unit must have appropriate
training. In the event that QuickTrip is used with the Woodward ProTechTPS logic solver, all persons
involved in the initial design or modification of the programmable software, installation and maintenance
must have appropriate training. Training and guidance materials include this manual, the ProTechTPS
service tool, and any training programs available at Woodward. See Chapter 7 (Product Support and
Service Options) for more information.
Operation and Maintenance Practice
A periodic proof (functional) test of the QuickTrip is required to verify that no dangerous faults not
detected by external means remain undetected. More information is in the “Proof Testing” section of this
chapter. The frequency of the proof test is determined by the overall safety system design, of which the
QuickTrip is a part. The safety numbers are given in the following sections to help the system integrator
determine the appropriate test interval.
Installation and Site Acceptance Testing
Installation and use of the QuickTrip must conform to the guidelines and restrictions included in this
manual. No other information is needed for installation and maintenance.
Functional Testing after Initial Installation
A functional test of the QuickTrip is required prior to use as a safety system. This should be done as part
of the overall safety system installation check and should include all I/O interfaces to and from the
QuickTrip that are part of the safety system. For guidance on the functional test, see the proof test
procedure below.
Functional Testing after Changes
A functional test of the QuickTrip is required after making any changes that affect the safety system.
Proof Testing (Full Functional Test)
The QuickTrip must be periodically proof tested to ensure there are no dangerous faults present that are
not detected by external diagnostics. The test procedure will set the trip outputs on the module under test
into a trip state (de-energized for a de-energize-to-trip configuration). It is possible to automate several
steps of the proof test procedure shown below using the programmability and test mode configurability of
the ProTechTPS, but the intent of the steps below must be met. If using a different logic solver, consult
the manual for the unit to determine the steps required to implement a proof test for QuickTrip.
With the procedure below, the user can expect 99% test coverage of the dangerous failures that are not
tested by external diagnostics.
Functional Verification (Proof) Test Procedure (module level):
1. The following procedure should be followed for each QuickTrip module (A, B and C)
2. Ensure power is connected to one or both power inputs on QuickTrip module (terminals 1 & 2 and 3 &
4)
3. Verify that one or both blue LED’s on the QuickTrip electronics module are lit indicating that either a
single power supply or two redundant power supplies are connected and turned on.
4. Measure voltage at the QuickTrip terminals and verify that it is within the range 24 Vdc ± 10%.
5. Verify that the red LED on the QuickTrip electronics module is lit indicating the valve is in the tripped
(open) position
6. Verify trip feedback outputs are active on the QuickTrip electronics module. This can be done by
using an ohmmeter to verify continuity between terminals 7 & 8 and terminals 9 & 10 on the QuickTrip
electronics module. Note that there should be no continuity on the run feedback terminals 11 & 12
and 13 & 14. The ProTechTPS or other logic solver can also be used to detect trip feedback.
7. Use ProTechTPS or other logic solver to start the module and energize QuickTrip by applying 24 Vdc
to the control terminals (5 & 6)
8. Verify that the green LED on the QuickTrip electronics module is lit indicating the valve is in the
energized (closed) position
9. Verify run feedback outputs are active on the QuickTrip electronics module. This can be done by
using an ohmmeter to verify continuity between terminals 11 & 12 and terminals 13 & 14 on the
QuickTrip electronics module.
Note: there should be no continuity on the trip feedback terminals 7 & 8 and 9 & 10. The ProTechTPS
or other logic solver can also be used to detect run feedback if configured to do so (refer to
ProTechTPS product manuals, Woodward numbers 26501V1 and 26501V2).
10. Use ProTech or other logic solver to trip the module and verify the red LED is lit indicating the valve is
once again in the tripped (open) position
11. Using the ProTechTPS or other logic solver, check Trip Log or Trip Cycle Time Log and verify the
most recent trip time is less than 50 ms.
12. Use ProTechTPS or other logic solver to start all modules and energize all QuickTrip modules by
applying 24 Vdc to the control terminals (5 & 6) for each module.
13. Apply hydraulic pressure to the QuickTrip inlet and verify the normal operating trip header pressure is
reached.
14. Confirm the ability of the QuickTrip to hold trip header pressure when any one QuickTrip module is
tripped (module A, Module B, or Module C). Confirm this for all modules individually. Note: When any
QuickTrip module is tripped, there will be a slight decrease in trip header pressure since steady-state
hydraulic leakage through the unit increases. This slight decrease in trip header pressure should
remain above the normal trip pressure for the turbine trip system.
15. Confirm the ability of the QuickTrip to dump trip header pressure when any two QuickTrip modules
are tripped (2oo3 voting operation). Trip QuickTrip modules A and B and confirm the trip header
pressure quickly drops below the normal trip pressure for the turbine trip system.
16. Repeat the above test for the following combinations of two and three modules:
17. Modules B and C
18. Modules A and C
19. Modules A, B and C
20. If there are any failures of the QuickTrip valve to operate correctly, consult the Repair and
Troubleshooting section of this manual (Chapter 5).
Because of the 2-o-o-3 configuration of the QuickTrip, it is possible to perform a diagnostic test while the
QuickTrip is on-line and the turbine is running. The test procedure will set the trip outputs on the module
under test into a trip state (de-energized for a de-energize-to-trip configuration) and for only one module
at a time. It is possible to automate the procedure shown below by using a built-in function in the ProTech
TPS called “Auto-Sequence Test” or with the programmability and test mode configurability of the
ProTechTPS, but the intent of the steps below must be met. If using a different logic solver, consult the
manual for the unit to determine the steps required to implement a diagnostic test for QuickTrip.
With the procedure below, the user can expect 83% test coverage of the dangerous failures that are not
tested by external diagnostics.
Diagnostic Test Procedure:
1. Verify that each QuickTrip module is in a run state (valve closed). This can be done by verifying that a
green light is lit on each QuickTrip electronics module, or by verifying there are no trip alarms on the
ProTech TPS (or other logic solver).
2. If using a ProTech TPS logic solver, initiate the Auto-Sequence Test by accessing the “Test Menu”,
then “Auto-Sequence Test” on the front panel (refer to Chapter 4 “Operation” for additional
information).
3. The Auto-Sequence test will automatically ramp up the internal frequency generator for module A
until it exceeds the overspeed set point at which time the control signal is interrupted and the
QuickTrip module trips. A trip alarm is momentarily displayed. Then, this module resets and the test is
repeated, sequentially, on modules B and C.
4. Once the Auto-Sequence test has completed, both ProTech TPS and QuickTrip will return to a
normally operating state.
5. Upon completion of the Auto-Sequence Test, check for any trip alarms that are not cleared and, if
ProTech is configured to do so, verify there are no run alarms (failure to energize to a run state).
6. Verify the trip time for each module by checking the Trip Cycle Time Log. This trip time can be
checked through the ProTech TPS front panel display by pressing “View Logs”, then “Trip Cycle Time
Log”. This log displays the last 20 trip events and the time from when the control signal was dropped
to the time the QuickTrip valve rotated to the open position and the trip position sensor annunciated a
trip signal back to ProTech. This trip time should be less than 50ms.
7. If there are any failures of a QuickTrip module (valve) to rotate to an open or closed state when
commanded to do so or if the trip time is greater than 50ms, consult the Repair and Troubleshooting
section in this manual (Chapter 5) for assistance.

The following factory options for servicing Woodward products are available through your local FullService 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:
prevent damage to electronic components caused by improper
Released
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

The following recommendations regarding the Woodward designed and manufactured QuickTrip trip
block assembly are to assist in properly managing the reliability, availability and “safety of operation”
expectations established for turbines. While there are electronic control systems designed to monitor and
diagnose the operational performance of these components, control monitoring cannot replace normal
preventative maintenance practices. It is important to follow these recommendations in order to avoid
unnecessary and unscheduled shutdowns.
This product is designed for continuous operation under normal industrial operating conditions. There are
no components that require periodic service between scheduled major turnarounds (normally every five to
eight years depending on the site and application). During major outages, Woodward recommends the
QuickTrip be send back to Woodward or a Woodward Authorized Independent Service Facility (AISF) for
inspection, component servicing and to take advantage of any related hardware improvements.
Installations that do not meet “normal” industrial operating conditions may require customized
maintenance cycles to maximize reliability, performance, and asset life. Contact your local Woodward
Representative for a detailed evaluation of your site conditions to determine the right maintenance cycles
for your installation.
Woodward’s overhaul services will return the unit to “like new” condition, ready for another full operating
cycle, lasting until the next planned maintenance outage. Upon reaching the recommended maintenance
cycle of the auxiliary equipment, please contact either the site turbine OEM service representative, local
Woodward distributor or Woodward Authorized Independent Service Facility to initiate services. Refer to
Chapter 7 for Product Support and Services options.
Units that will not be put into service within twelve months should be packaged for long-term storage as
described in Woodward manual 25075, Commercial Preservation Packaging for Storage of Mechanical-Hydraulic Controls. This product is designed for continuous storage in IP66 rated locations with an
ambient temperature of –40 °C to +85 °C.
