4.0 Overview In its simplest configuration, the Mark V controller is connected via a StageLink , (a Coax cable with T Connectors and terminating resistors) to a HMI (a PC based operator interface).

The HMI consists of three software components • CIMPLICITY HMI – Operator graphics software package for displaying turbine data. Turbine data is stored in a Point

Data Base in CIMPLICITY. • TCI (Turbine Control Interface) for displaying high speed (< 1 sec) data and for configuring a turbine control unit.

TCI provides display, control and configuration capability. Drives G:, F:, are virtual drive substitutions used by TCI software.

13

• CIMB (CIMPLICITY Bridge) enables CIMPLICITY to collect data and alarms from a turbine unit and the

transfer of data between the Data Dictionary and CIMPLICITY i.e. F:\UNIT1. The interface between CIMPLICITY HMI, TCI and Cimbridge is shown in the schematic below.

4.1 Directory Structure • CIMPLICITY HMI Directories

• ARC: database files • BSM_DATA: system configuration files • DATA: run-time configuration files • EXE: executable files • LOG: status log files and program error files

• TCI Directories consist of two pseudo or substitute drives: G: and F:. The substitution for these drives is normally

C:\TCI for G:, and C:\SITE for F:. (ref: GEH 6126 manual for more details) • F: contains the site-specific information

\CIMPROJ contains CIMPLICITY HMI project files • ALARM_HELP: alarm help files • ARC : database files • DATA: run-time configuration files • LOCK: project lock file • LOG: status log files and program error files • MASTER: master copies of configuration files • SCREENS: CimView screens (.cim) • SCRIPTS: BCE scripts • EX2000.Dat : EX2000 Alarm configuration • SVR1.gef : project configuration file

\RUNTIME contains user defined Display Menu definitions \USER is the default directory specified during TCI start up \UNITn is created for each turbine unit. Contains files which make up the data dictionary including input/output checks.

b) ALARM.DAT

Ex: QP 0 DIAGNOSTIC ALARM <C><Q> QP 1 FORCED LOGIC SIGNAL DETECTED QP 2 INJECTION TO FUEL RATIO LOW: 4 MIN AVG QP 3 INJECTION TO FUEL RATIO LOW: HOURLY AVG QP 4 EXHAUST TEMPERATURE HIGH <C>

c) CONSTSET.DAT

Ex: ; ; CONSTSET.DAT -- Control Constants Adjustment Settings File ; ; ;This file contains the adjustable constants for the unit. ; ; ; Point Engr Ramp Min Max ; Name Units Rate Value Value A7 "HEX" 1 AFKAP_SITE "in Hg" 0.1 AFKPEFTD "sec" 0.01 AFKPEMN "inH2O" 0.1 AFKPEMX "inH2O" 0.1

\UNITn\PROM contains control panel processor Prom-related files \UNITn\HTML contains hardware jumper settings \UNITn\IO_Checks contains IO test screen files

• G: contains software common to all turbine control panels \EXEC contains all the executable files\programs that form the basic TCI \DATA contains any data files and template files which are not site-specific. The VERSION.DAT gives the version of the TCI software package that is loaded inside the HMI. The IOPORTS.DAT is an optional data file used if the TCI System Service is to take over any of the RS-232 ports on the computer. This file indicates which communication ports should be used, what the port settings are supposed

15

to be (baud rate, parity… ) and what function the port is used for. Functions include MODBUS Master and MODBUS Slave. Thee TIMESYNC.DAT is an optional data file used if the HMI is to be a time master on the StageLink. It is also used if you wish this HMI to synchronize its clock to an external time source, be it a High Resolution Time Card or a time master on the StageLink. \LOG contains system and error log files.

- TCI.LOG is the TCI startup log file - TCI1.LOG is previous TCI startup log - MODBUS.LOG is log file for MODBUS (an optional communication link to a supervisory computer –

DCS) - TIMESYNC.LOG is a log file generated by the time synchronization program

5.0 Power Up Sequence for HMI

5.1 Overview 1. Windows NT starts up 2. TCI starts up based on definitions in Control Panel, TCI. 3. CIMPLICITY is started by TCI Note: To auto start a CIMPLICITY screen, the following shortcut needs to be inserted

C:\Winnt\Profiles\All Users\Start\Programs\Startup Menu\New Shortcut Cimview /waitforproject cimproj F:\cimproj\screens\unit_control.cim

16

5.2 Detailed Power Up Instructions 1. Turn on HMI PC. Login USER will default to Administrator. The Password is gepgc (GE power generation controls,

must be in lower case!!!!!). This can be changed once logged on from Start | Program | Administrative tools (common) | user manager.

2. Place Software CD located in back of Installation manual in the CDROM drive. 3. From the start button, select RUN and type D:\setup.exe 4. Follow the install shield directions. Project should be installed to the C:\SITE directory. 5. The CIMPLICITY screens will be located in the C:\Site\Cimproj\Screens directory. 6. The main unit control screen will be named Unit_Contol.cim. It can be opened by double clicking on Unit_Control.cim. 7. The CIMPLICITY project is located at C:\Site\Comproj. Custom setup: To create an auto boot up feature which will allow the CIMPLICITY project to start and the unit control screen to open automatically upon system boot up: 1. From the start button, select settings then control panel. 2. Double click on the services icon. 3. Select CIMPLICITY HMI Service and then press startup button. 4. Select manual startup option, then OK. 5. Scroll down and select TCI (Turbine Control Interface) and then the startup button. 6. Ensure TCI startup option is set for Automatic. 7. Select OK and then exit Control Panel /services. 8. Go to start/programs/Cimplicity/HMI/Cimplicity Options. Under the Start options tab, add the Cimplicity project (*.gef)

to the system boot options. Then select the start projects option, and then OK. 9. From WindowNT explorer, go to C:\SITE\CIMPROJ\SCREENS directory. 10. Right click on UNIT_CONTROL.cim file and select CREATE SHORTCUT option. 11. Then go to C:\WINNT\PROFILES\OPER\START MENU\PROGRAMS\STARTUP directory and paste shortcut. 12. Right click on the shortcut and select properties. 13. Select the shortcut tab. 14. The target path should be edited to read as follows: C:\Cimplicity\hmi\exe\CimView.exe /alwaysmaximized /waitforproject Cimplicity Project name) C:\Site\cimproj\screens\Unit_control.cim

15. Also under the Shortcut tab, set the start in path to C:\Cimplicity\HMI\exe & set run to Maximized. Note: If for instance, while logged on as Administrator and the Cimplicity project is manually stopped and then one re-logs

on as operator, the Cimplicity service will not restart and the unit control display will not appear. The cimplicity project will need to be restarted while logged in as Administrator. Or, the entire computer has to be rebooted and then the TCI and Cimplicity services will start automatically and the unit control screen will open regardless of the logon user. In short, when logging off as ADMINISTRATOR and logging back on as OPERATOR or any other user, ensure that the CIMPLICITY project is running prior to logging off or do a hard reboot.

6.0 Windows NT

6.1 User Administration/ Passwords CIMPLICITY usernames (passwords) are pre-configured at the factory. To determine existing usernames, set/change passwords or create new users • Select users icon from the HMI configuration cabinet. Set/change passwords or create new users from the File menu.

Ensure password needed and enabled boxes are checked when configuring new users. Note: Detailed information is available on-line using the book-reader in GFK-1180G/ Chapter 22 NT users (Administrator, Operator, Supervisor… ) and CIMPLICITY users must have the same user names and same passwords, exactly. (You should verify that NT Users are Administrator, oper or maint) To configure NT users/passwords , while logged on as Administrator • Select | Programs | Administrative Tools | User Manager

17

Note: detailed information on groups/ profiles is available from the NT help file accessed from the menu bar in NT Explorer. As long as the passwords and usernames for NT and CIMPLICITY are kept consistent, whoever logs into NT at system boot (Oper, Maint, Admin) will automatically be logged into CIMPLICITY. Notes: 1. With regard to automatically coming up to log in operator(oper), or maintenance(maint), or administrator, the last user

name/person to successfully log in on boot, will be the default user for the next boot. Either way a password must be entered manually at that time.

2. You shouldn’t even need the operator password if you want to change it, if you are logged in as administrator. While logged in as administrator,

go start | programs | administrative tools | user manager . Then double click on the user name ‘oper’(upper box). Type in the desired password and type in the confirmed password(same thing). Make sure you deselect ‘user must change password at next log in’. Log off administrator, log in oper with the new password.

3. User names are not case sensitive, passwords are. The computers are shipped out with the following passwords Computer Password HMI Servers Administrator gepgc oper maint maint Historian Administrator gepgc (or Administrator) User gepgc (or Administrator) Operator gepgc (or Administrator)

Select New form the File Menu in the Point Control Panel window displayed. From the Edit menu select Add to a view a point(s). From the popup window Select the desired point(s) to be viewed.

7.7 CIMPLICITY Project Backup You can use any standard backup tool which supports long file names to backup your project, provided that you backup the entire project directory (including the .GEF file) and all subdirectories together.

If you wish to ZIP the contents of a project (for example, remember to use a 32-bit version ZIP tool which supports long file names. The various 16-bit ZIP programs used the old DOS 8.3 file naming convention; it is almost impossible to recover a project from a 16-bit archive.

8.0 Network Configuration Sketch and use a Network Topology drawing similar to the drawing shown below as your reference when configuring the network on site. It will contain most of the information you will need to properly configure the network. Information on Stagelink and communication requirements can be found in GEH-6126

25

8.1 Update drawing to show IP addresses and computer names

8.2 Verify Cable connections Three types of cable are commonly used in Ethernet installations. The cables are physically distinct, and have different connection and termination requirements. 8.2.1 10BaseT (Twisted pair) 10BaseT consists of multiple twisted pairs of wires, and uses RJ-45 modular plugs similar to phone plugs at each end. 10BaseT is commonly used in a hub and spoke topology, in which each computer talks through a hub to other computers on the network. Two computers can also be wired point to point with 10BaseT using a modified cable. Note: Detailed instructions on how to make up 10BaseT cables are available in the user manual from Cabletron in sections SEHI-22 or 32 . The manuals are provided on the product CD or can be down loaded from the following URL. http://www.cabletron.com/support/manuals/n-s.html. 8.2.2 10Base2 ThinWire (Coax) ThinWire is 50 Ω coaxial cable, typically RG-58. It is similar in appearance to TV cable. In a ThinWire system, computers are daisy-chained together, using a ‘Tee’ connectors to connect the network to each node’s Ethernet adapter. Each end of each Thinwire segment must be terminated with a 50 Ω terminating resistor. This can be done externally by using a special BNC connector/terminator on the open leg of the ‘Tee’. Some equipment can be terminated internally, eliminating the need for the external BNC connector/terminator. It is critically important to use the proper value (50 Ω ) terminating resistors on Ethernet. Mixing 93 Ω ARCNET terminators and 50 Ω Ethernet terminators on an Ethernet network will result in excessive communication errors, or a non-operational network. 8.2.3 ThickWire (AUI) ThickWire is typically used for plant backbones, but is sometimes used to connect individual devices. ThickWire systems use special transceivers to connect devices to the actual ThickWire segment. The connection to an individual computer, hub, bridge, etc. is done through an AUI connector. AUI connectors are ‘D’ connectors, similar to those used on serial ports.

8.3 Network Adapter: Verify Setup (Ethernet Card Adapter Drivers, I/O Address, Interrupt, etc.) These should be configured (by computer vendor) when the equipment is received. Check them if trouble is encountered. 8.3.1 Driver An Ethernet Card Adapter Driver is provided with the system software. To verify the settings for the driver: From the Start Menu select Settings/Control Panel/Network. Select the Adapters tab.

26

The Network adapter should be 3Com Etherlink XL Adapter in the 3C900 or 3C509 series. (Verify if this is the adapter used) Select Properties button. Note: Depending on the system, there may be more than one Adapter. Each will need to be configured separately. Select OK from the intermediate dialog box, if present.

27

Make note of Node Address, I/O Address, Device ID NOTE: If more than one Ethernet card (e.g. 3Com Etherlink XL #2) is present, select the down arrow and choose the “other” card to obtain additional information. You can then proceed to view Media Type and Other Driver Settings for the “other” card as outlined below. Select Properties tab

Highlight Media Type in the Individual Settings box

28

From the drop down menu in the Individual Settings box, choose the media type. However, the specific configuration should be selected if there is no doubt of the type or there is not a mixed media used, otherwise Auto Select can be used.

Other Driver Settings From Start menu select: Settings/Control Panel/Network Select the Adapters tab, Select Properties button, Select OK from the intermediate dialog box, if present. Select NIC Details button.

29

Make note of the NIC Details.

8.4 Windows NT Windows provides graphical and text based tools for network configuration and troubleshooting. 8.4.1 Name/Domain/Workgroup • From the Start menu select Settings/Control Panel/Network. On the Identification tab, look at the Computer Name and

Workgroup entries. All of the HMI computers are delivered with the name HMI1. Each computer must have a unique name. Names should be descriptive to the function, such as SVR1(server), VWR1(viewer), REM1, etc. On a multi-unit system names such as SVR1, SVR2, may be appropriate.

30

To change the name and Domain/Workgroup select the Change… button. Place the cursor in the appropriate box and type in the name. Current standards are to use a Workgroup. Select the Workgroup. Use the Customer’s site name or Site name abbreviation for the Workgroup name. Do not enter any name in the Domain box, leave it blank.

31

When entries are complete, select OK. Changing the name will require rebooting the computer for the change to take effect.

8.5 TCP/IP TCP/IP is the protocol used to communicate between HMI boxes. Those systems with Mark VI also use TCP/IP to communicate control data. TCP/IP requires configuration. All of the following settings are accessed from the TCP/IP properties. Open TCP/IP properties as follows: • From the Start menu select Settings/Control Panel/Network. • Select the Protocols tab and Highlight TCP/IP Protocol. The Properties button will become active.

32

• Select the Properties button.

33

Note: If more than one adapter card exists, use the down arrow to access the “other” card to configure IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway. 8.5.1 IP Address, Subnet mask, Default Gateway • Select the IP address tab of TCP/IP Properties. • Select Specify an IP Address (Do not use Obtain an IP Address from a DHCP server) • Enter the IP address, Subnet mask, and Default Gateway from the Topology drawing. For detailed information see below 8.5.2 IP Address All computers come with I/P Address 192.168.1.20 • Leave one computer with this address. • Change the second computer to I/P Address 192.168.1.21 • Change the third computer to I/P Address 192.168.1.22 • Index each subsequent computer I/P Address by a value of 1. 8.5 .3 Subnet Mask • Use the value of 255.255.255.0 8.5.4 Default Gateway Check if a Gateway is present. If a gateway is present then enter the Gateway address ensure all signals have the computer name as a pre-fix Leave or make this box void of any value. Changing these values will require rebooting the computer for the changes to take effect. 8.5.5 DNS Entry • Select the DNS tab of TCP/IP Properties. • Enter the Domain Name Server name (if there is one) from the Topology drawing. If not available from the drawing, get

the correct DNS from the customer. Most likely there will not be a Domain Name Server.

34

8.6 Host File Entries • Use Wordpad to edit the file C:\winNT\system32\drivers\etc\Hosts. • Create entries for each of the computers in the system, according to the names and IP addresses assigned. An example

of a Host File is shown below. The host file should be provided by the requisition engineer. Identical copies of this file should be on each computer. # Copyright (c) 1993-1995 Microsoft Corp. # # This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows NT. # # This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each # entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should # be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name. # The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one # space. # # Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual # lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol. # # For example: # # 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server # 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host 192.168.1.20 SVR1 #Local server 192.168.1.21 SVR2 #Remote server 192.168.1.22 VWR1 #Local viewer for gas turbine unit Tn 192.168.1.23 VWR2 #Local viewer for steam turbine unit S1

8.7 Stagelink Stagelink is used in Mark V turbine controls to communicate control data between controllers, and between controllers and computers. 8.8.1 Cable connection/termination ARCNET networks use 93 Ω coaxial cable (typically RG-62) in a daisy chained configuration similar to 10Base2 Ethernet. Each ARCNET segment must be terminated with a 93 Ω resistor, which is usually part of a special coax connector/terminator. It is critically important to use the proper value (93 Ω ) terminating resistors on ARCNET. Mixing 93 Ω ARCNET terminators and 50 Ω Ethernet terminators on an ARCNET network will result in excessive communication errors, or a non-operational network. 8.7.2 Address Check the ARCNET address: • From the Start menu select Settings/Control Panel/TCI (Turbine Control Interface). • Select the ARCNET tab of the Turbine Control Interface. The address information should match the dip switches on the ARCNET card and the information on the Topology drawing. Note:

35

8.8 Troubleshooting The first step in troubleshooting should always be to check physical connections. Once these are verified, several utility programs can be used to get more information about the problem. The following utilities are run from a DOS window. 8.8.1 Ping Ping can be used to determine whether or not the computers can “see” (communicate with) each other over ethernet. To use ping, simply type ping address or ping name at the DOS prompt, where name is the computer name, and address is the IP address. More ping options can be viewed by typing ping –h. Below is shown a successful Ping from a computer which detected HMI_SVR2. Note: Names and addresses are samples only.

Following is an example of an unsuccessful ping.

8.8.2 Ipconfig Ipconfig reports the Ethernet TCP/IP network configuration on which the computer runs. To use Ipconfig, type ipconfig. To view Ipconfig options, type ipconfig /? Shown below is a sample Ipconfig.

36

NOTE: A computer may operate on more than one network e.g. Plant Data Highway (Plant Ethernet) and Unit Data Highway (Control Ethernet). In this case Ipconfig will show the network configurations for both networks.

8.8.3 Netstat Netstat shows what network connections the local computer has made, as well as the status of these connections. Protocol, Foreign Address, Local Address, and Connection state are included in the default display. Type netstat This will show the connections between computers on the network.

. Type netstat /? To display netstat options. 8.8.4 Arcwho To determine if ARCNET communication is established: From a DOS prompt, type arcwho. ARCNET devices will respond with their hexadecimal ARCNET drop numbers. G:\EXEC>ARCWHO Your ARCNET address is : 1E LUNS FOUND: FE FC 1F The example shows 1E assigned to the HMI. The three visible addresses at FE, FC, 1F would be typical for a site for two MARK V controllers (FE &FC) and another HMI (1F)

37

9.0 Turbine Control Interface

9.1 TCI Configuration Files Two files are required for TCI to operate F:\CONFIG.DAT and the F:\TIMEZONE.DAT (Converts UTC to local time, further details can be found in GEH 6126). The file config.dat contains:

• List of Mark V controllers • Internal Unit Number for each turbine • Name associated with the unit • Type of turbine control • Addresses on each controller on Stagelink • TCI Options used on the site such as Modbus

9.2 TCI Configuration Settings To configure the TCI settings • Autologin: Select the AUTOLOGIN tab of the Turbine Control Interface from the Start | Settings | Control | TCI icon.

9.6 Net start/stop To re-establish communication on the ARCNET: or anytime files in UNIT1\ are modified requiring a MK5Make to be performed and requiring a download to the MK5 – TCI will need to be cycled to assure these changes are available to the HMI. The procedure for cycling TCI is 1. Close all screens 2. Stop CIMPLICITY project 3. From a DOS prompt type:

• net stop tci • net start tci.

9.0 HMI Trouble Shooting Guide a) Check if TCI software is running.

• From Dos prompt type net start and look for “ The requested service has already been started” b) Check for correct F:Drive substitution.

• Type Subst at Dos prompt. The correct path for your project should be returned F: \site\cim_proj\ProjectName.gef G:\exec

• If path is incorrect stop TCI :- C: net stop TCI C: Subst F: /D C: Subst C: F: \site\cim_proj\Enron.gef

c) Check definition in Start | Control Panel |TCI | Site. d) Check Log Files

• TCI - TCI.LOG (Checks if TCI started successfully)

• CIMPLICITY - System

- COR_STATUS.LOG (system status log file) - W32rtr.out and w32rtr.err (files the router)

- Project - COR_RECSTAT.CLG (provides messages which are related to the project) - .OUT and .ERR files (for all CIMPLICITY HMI processes other than user processes)

• Windows NT - SYSTEM.LOG (C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\CONFIG… )

e) Check if the CIMPLICITY project is started.

• From Start | Programs | CIMPLICITY | HMI | Options, see project is running f) Check if Data from the Controller is being received by TCI

• From Start | Programs | Turbine Control Maintenance | Unit T1 | Demand Display . Enter a data point such as L4

g) Check if there is any undefined CIMPLICITY points. • If a screen has a blank

field, right click on the display background and select Point View. Undefined points have a red X next to them. h) Check if there are any CIMPLICITY points which are not defined in the Control Signal database (CSDB) using the

CIMPLICITY COR_STATUS.LOG. • Import the missing points only using the Import key under the Actions tab from Signal Manager.

i) Check if CIMPLICITY Master and Runtime data are the same. This is verified by stopping and restarting the CIMPLICITY project from the configuration cabinet. CIMPLICITY will prompt for a configuration update.

j) Check if CIMPLICITY is running. • Right click on the NT task bar and select Task Manager. Look for CIMPLICITY.exe in the Processes tab.

k) Check if the CIMPLICITY bridge is running. • Right click on the NT task bar and select Task Manager. Look for MARKV_RP.exe in the Processes tab.

41

l) Check if the ARCNET address as specified in F:\CONFIG.DAT agrees with the setting in the controller using Arcwho

10.1 TCI Troubleshooting Tools If TCI has successfully started (see TCI.log file above) then a set of tools is available for further troubleshooting.These tools are executed from Start | Programs | Turbine Control Maintenance menu. They may also be executed from the Dos Prompt

10.2 Arcwho To determine if ARCNET communication is established a) Type Arcwho at Dos prompt or b) Start | Programs | Turbine Control Maintenance | HMI Configuration | ARCNET Node list ARCNET devices will respond with their hexadecimal ARCNET drop numbers. Ex:

1. Successful Communication

2. Unsuccessful Communication

42

Look for statement “ -------- Network appears UNSTABLE. ----------

( for further information see section 10.3)

10.3 Stage Link Communication (ARCNET) • Attempting to access TCI tools: Logic Forcing | Demand Display | DIAGC brings up, up error message:

BMS ERROR – Unable to determine path • Demand Displays show stale, inverse video date/Time field or “No valid Data” • Running Arcwho from DOS prompt shows unstable network:

For a Stable Network, Arcwho should give : For example: Your ARCNET address is 28 LUNS found: 44 (LUNS – local unit number)

An unstable network can also be caused by only one ARCNET node being alive on the network (i.e. HMI is powered up, but controller isn’t). Possible Causes of a bad Stage Link • “T” Connection not terminated • Wrong termination resistor (i.e. Ethernet terminator resistor is used) • Wrong Coax cable used (look for RG62 stamping on cable, Do not use Ethernet cable). • Coax cable connection is broken • Loose connection. • Bad cable or T or Terminator • TCI Service failed • Wrong IRQ address (should be 15) • Wrong hardware address Note: Information for obtaining the correct cabling and tools for constructing Stage Link cabling can be obtained Milestek, Tel no: 1-800-524-7444

10.4 Card_id Determines the versions of Proms in the Mark V control. (Check with Salem for correct versions)

43

10.5 Checkcrc Checks that all TCI product files exist on the PC, they are not corrupted and that they are the correct versions. Start | Programs | Turbine Control Main tenance | HMI Configuration | Check TCI Files

10.6 Constset & Constdsp CONSTSET is a configuration utility used to make all control constants adjustable and to set the default ramp rate for each control constant. A command line utility (used from the Command line (Dos) prompt) F:\UNITn>constset \UNIT:<unitname> creates a CONSTSET.DAT file for the unit TCI version 1.2 or higher allows the user to start running CONSTSET.DAT. This is done by using the line "*MARKV_DEFAULT" in the CONSTSET.DAT file. The MARKV_DEFAULT parameter directs the Data Dictionary loader to make all Mark V control constants adjustable, and computes each point's ramp rate as one "display digit" per second. If any values are to be excluded from adjustability, or if their ramp rate should be changed, then these lines can be added after the DEFAULT line to apply those overrides. Here is an example: ; ; *MARKV_DEFAULT ; ; Point Engr Ramp Min Max ; Name Units Rate Value Value KLNPTSJ "rpm" 1 3600.0 3610.0 KNPTNOMJ "rpm" 100 2900.0 6300.0 KMINRSTDJ "sectd" 1 0.0 15.0 KMINRSTUJ "sectd" 1 0.0 15.0 KBASE_MW "mw" 1 15.0 30.0 KDLEACC_G "pph/r" 1 0.0 4.0 KNCDCAPJM "N/D" .5 0.0 2.0 KDLE_DEC_G "N/D" .5 0.0 4.0 KNCDOSPRX "pph" 100 -9999.99 0.0 KNGGERRMIN "rpm" 100 -10000.0 0.0 ; ; The control constants displays the value of all the control constants in a unit. The Display can be accessed from the command line prompt by selecting the unit CONSTDSP /UNIT:Tn

44

A Control Constant with a plus sign next to it denotes the constant is adjustable. When the F:\UNIT\Const_q.src is changed the following must be completed to allow access to the new constants in constants adjust 1. Close all TCI displays 2. Stop CIMPLICITY Project

• Using Stop Button in CIMPLICITY Configuration Cabinet • Use menu from Start | Programs | CIMPLICITY | HMI | CIMPLICITY Options

3. From Dos prompt type • net stop tci • Del constset.dat • constset \unit:T1 • net start tci • Mk5make • EEPROM download

4. Start CIMPLICITY Project 5. Open Unit_control.cim screen

10.7 CONSTCHK The control constants are checked using CONSTCHK from the Dos prompt. F:\UNITn>constchk \UNIT:<unitname> Executing the program results in a report which reports only the values of control constants that have different values between RAM. The /ALL qualifier allows all values to be displayed.

10.8 Logic Forcing Display Logic Forcing provides the capability of forcing any logic data point to a “0” or a “1” regardless of the permissive driving the data point. This is a valuable tool during maintenance or troubleshooting. The tool is only available from a Server. “Only qualified personnel knowledgeable about turbine control and protection should create and execute commands. The commands can affect the state and action of the unit control” Logic Forcing can be accessed from: Start | Settings | Control | Panel | TCI | Logic Forcing or from the Tools button on the Unit_Control Screen Note: Detailed information is available in GEH-6126

10.9 Demand Display The demand display allows several data points to be monitored at a time and simple commands to be applied. “Only qualified personnel knowledgeable about turbine control and protection should create and execute commands. The commands can affect the state and action of the unit control” The demand display program contains two types of display windows. • Demand Display Menu Screen ~ Contains a list of the demand display screens. Selecting one of the demand display

screens accesses the screen. • Demand Display Data Screen ~ Display screen shows Demand Displays.

The demand display is accessed from

45

• Start | Programs | Turbine Control Maintenance | Unitn | Demand Display • Start | Run and typing Demand.exe The configuration arguments are /UNIT: Tn executes the Demand Display program for the unit specified /FILE: executes the Demand Display and loads a requested Demand Display file /DISPLAY: displays Demand Display screen in a particular file F:\RUNTIME>DEMAND /FILE:OPERATOR:DM2 /DISPLAY:”LUBE OIL” /TYPE: displays the data screen with points specified at the command line. F:\RUNTIME>DEMAND /TYPE:(L1,F4) The demand display files can be loaded in three ways

1) If the Demand display program is started at the command line, the name of the file can be added after Demand display

execution command, Demand. Ex : F:\RUNTIME>DEMAND / FILE:FILENAME.DM2 (note extension DM2 is required) 2) To load an existing Demand Display after starting the Demand Display program, select the menu option File:Open from

the drop down menu. The open command allows file selection. 3) If no existing file is specified when executing the Demand Display program a default file DEMAND01.DM2 file located

Process The name of the process which generated the log message Procedure The name of the procedure which generated the message Source A symbolic name for the error class Code The primary value used by the software for expressing the type of error Reference A number that can be used to determine the location of the condition that caused the error Message An explanation of the condition that caused the error. Each entry in the list is preceded by a color-coded dot which corresponds to the Status field entry. The correlations are Red (Failure), Yellow (Red), Green (Success). All details of a message can be viewed by double-clicking on the message.

n the log folder for a project, you will also find a set of current and backup .ERR and .OUT files. These files may contain additional information if you are experiencing problems with your CIMPLICITY software. The status log files are binary files which can be viewed directly. You can however, copy the contents of a status log file to a text file that you can view with Notepad. To save the status log file as a text file, select Save as Text from the Log Menu.

Note: You can only examine backup .OUT and .ERR files while the project is running. Some of the basic CIMPLICITY filenames and their associated programs are: Filename Associated Process

To view the contents of an .ERR or .OUT file:

• Use the Explorer to check for any non-zero length .ERR and .OUT files in the project's log directory. • Use Notepad view the contents of these files.

12.0 CIMPLICITY HMI

12.1 Signal Manager All points defined on your CIMPLICITY screens need to be defined within the CIMPLICITY Points Database. • The Project should come with all points configured. • If a point is missing then it can be “matched” and “imported” from the unitdata.dat file.

51

• It is necessary to Stop Project and Close all screens before importing (adding or deleting) points into CIMPLICITY. After importing points it is necessary to perform a CIMPLICITY project configuration update.

• It is strongly recommended that only matched points be imported and not all points as this may impact system operation. For example in a system with remote viewers running on a 56K phone line, you won’t be able to run the turbine remotely unless you have only the points required by the screens.

• The Signal Manager is used to, “Match” and “Import” CIMPLICITY points using the Signal Manager icon in the Project Configuration cabinet file. (The icon executes the file G:\EXEC\CSDButil.exe).

12.2 Adding a Point to the CIMPLICITY database To Add a Point from Unitdata.dat/tpl to the CIMPLICITY database • Select the Signal Manager icon in configuration cabinet

• Click on File then New. Accept Defaults and click OK.

• Scroll down until you get to the desired point, for example: Tn_L1START_CPB. With the pointer over

Tn_L1START_CPB click once to highlight it.

• From the Actions Menu choose ‘Import’. From the next pop up menu, go to C:\Site\Cimproj\SVRn.gef to choose

project. Click OK

• Repeat steps above steps for units T2, T3 and T4.

• Close Signal Manager.

• Stop the project and perform a configuration update.

12.3 Alarms Diagnostic Alarms are imported into the CIMPLICITY database using Signal Manager. The Project should come with all alarm points configured. If an alarm point is missing then it can be imported using the Signal Manager. • TCI handles Alarm Printing and not CIMPLICITY. If the Alarm Log Printer – Configuration is accessed

by selecting the Alarm Printer icon in the Project Configuration, no entries will be found. • From Signal Manager, click on menu bar item ‘Actions’ and select Alarms

• Select F:\CimpProj\SVR1(VWR1, REM1… ).Gef and open this file. A pop up window will show the alarms being

imported, click OK when it is complete.

12.3.1 Alarm Viewer To display alarms a stand-alone Alarm Viewer (ocx object) is embedded into a CIMPLICITY screen. Custom TCI executables are used to enhance the CIMPLICITY alarm viewer for Turbine applications. TCI provides the Silence, Lock and Unlock alarm viewer features. The procedures for Silence/Lock/Unlock buttons are usually configured such that an alarm must be selected and highlighted prior to depressing the Silence/Lock/Unlock buttons. This method allows data pertinent to the alarm (%res, %id, %ref, etc) to be passed to the Silence/Lock/Unlock command (typically used for multi-unit sites or sites with multiple servers and viewers). Required data and data format can be viewed from the command prompt (dos window) by typing SILENCE and LOCKOUT. To Edit 'Custom' Alarm Procedures, 1. The procedure can be found by right clicking on the white background of the alarm window, choosing 'CIMPLICITY AMV Control Object' and then choosing 'Properties'. 3. From the pop up window select the 'Buttons' tab, then select 'Dynamic' by choosing the Dynamic radial button. The alarm procedures and 'Custom #' procedures for a specific button can be accessed by selecting the button as follows:

52

selecting “Modify”

The correct Command String protocol for the Silence button should be silence %res (HMI%res) or the resource can be hard coded for single unit sites like this... Silence T7 <-- assuming the MarkV resource is T7 Similarly, the correct Command String protocol for the Lock button should be lockout 1 %res %id %ref (HMI%res) or the resource can be hard coded for single unit sites like this... lockout 1 T7 %id %ref <-- assuming the MarkV resource is T7 The correct Command String protocol for the UnLock button should be, lockout 0 %res %id %ref (HMI%res) or the resource can be hard coded for single unit sites like this... lockout 0 T7 %id %ref <-- assuming the MarkV resource is T7 12.3.2 Alarm Audio Support (ref: CIMPLICITY manual GFK-1180 for detailed information) Alarms can be configured for Audio support using a wave (.wav) file or a beep within CIMPLICITY • To use a wave file your computer must have a sound card and a sound system such as speakers or headset • If you do not have a sound card you can use a Beep where can configure the number of beeps, frequency and duration.

53

To implement audio support you need to configure an alarm class in CIMPLICITY to use audio support when an alarm in that class is generated. 1. Alarm classes are accessed by double clicking on the “Alarm Classes” icon in the CIMPLICITY configuration cabinet. 2. Select the Alarm Class for which you want to configure the Alarm Audio support form the list of classes. 3. Open the Alarm Class Configuration dialog box for the Alarm Class.

4. Select the Audio property tab.

54

• To configure a wave file, select the Wave file radio button and enter the File name. • To configure a beep, click the Beep radio button,

1. Enter the Frequency (a value between 37 and 32767 hz) 2. Enter the Duration ( a value between 1 and 10000 msec) 3. Enter the number of beeps (1 to 10) 4. Enter a delay (0 to 10000 msec)

You need to now activate the Alarm Sound Manager by selecting Start | Programs | CIMPLICITY | HMI | Alarm Sound Manager.

a) Configure Project

b) Configure Options

55

c) Configure Startup

Note: The alarms can be prioritized by Alarm Class or Project priority.

12.4 Database Points • Click Actions, then choose Match.

Signal Manager will begin generation of the *.Ctx files from all the CIMPLICITY Screens.cim files, scanning these files

for point names and creating a list of points contained in Unitdata.dat and the Screen files into the CIMPLICITY Points

Database. Three things are accomplished here.

1. The files missing_points.txt and screen_points.txt are created for reference. These files should be reviewed

2. If this match is successful, the list of screen points will then be shown in the Signal Manager window.

3. These points must be highlighted and then imported to the CIMPLICITY project by selecting Actions, clicking import

and selecting the SVRn.Gef file.

12.5 CIMPLICITY Virtual Points A virtual point is a CIMPLICITY database internal point. Examples of these are the Accumulators, Tn_Time, Tn_Date and

Site_Name points. In order to display the correct MarkV time in upper Right hand Side of page the following three virtual

points; Tn_TIME, Tn_DATE, Tn_VALID need to be defined.

• From the \Cimproj directory double click on the Customer_Frame.gef file to execute the CIMPLICITY Configuration

Toolbox. From this toolbox double click on ‘Points’ to execute the Point Manager, then choose File from the menu bar

and click on New. Define the points as follows:

• SITE_NAME is defined as a virtual point, text. On the General tab define a string size of 20. On the Virtual tab the

startup condition should be “Init” and the initial value should be the site’s name.

56

• Tn_UNIT is defined as a virtual point, text. On the General tab define a string size of 20. On the Virtual tab the

startup condition should be “Init” and the initial value should be the unit#.

• Tn_TIME is defined as a virtual point, text. On the General tab define a String Size 20

• Tn_DATE is defined as a virtual point, text. On the General tab define a String Size 20

• Tn_VALID is defined as a virtual point, Boolean. The point is set by the MKV to indicate a communication failure (ex.

Gas turbine is gray when Tn_valid is 0).

• HORN is defined as a virtual point, Boolean. On the Virtual tab, from the Calculation Type drop down menu, select

‘Equation’. In the expression entry area type Tn_L30ALM. For multiple units type, Tn_L30ALM OR T2_L30ALM

OR T3_L30ALM.... TN_L30ALM

• TRIP_TEST_MAX *****

• OS_MAX_Reset *****

12.6 Screen Editing Fundamentals “The recommended procedure is to copy any screen objects into a new Cimedit screen and then after making the changes to copy them back into the original. Note if objects are not moved then they will be copied into the exact location of the original object.” CIMPLICITY grouped objects can have properties associated with them which may be permanently lost when they are ungrouped. The above technique will prevent the unintentional loss of properties. 12.6.1 Frame Navigation Overview CIMPLICITY HMI use frame animation or “frame containers” to navigate between individual screens allowing users to access all control and monitoring features necessary for the turbine control interface. The Unit_Control.cim screen contains many ‘frame containers’. Each frame container allows users to access control and monitoring features necessary for the turbine control interface. The frame displayed can be changed using buttons to change frames. The individual frames are displayed based upon an expression that is associated with each frame. All of the graphic screens in Unit_Control.cim reside in a single frame container DATA_CTRL. To access and edit the screens it is necessary to open the frame container. The turbine graphic screen and navigation buttons are located in the foundation screen or master screen, which is common to all the screens. Changes to this screen are made without opening the frame container. Navigation between individual screens is sub-divided into four levels, L0, L1, L2, L4 as shown in the foundation screen below.

57

Foundation Screen

Notes: • In screens where the turbine graphic is not visible, it is due to the turbine being hidden by a “rectangular curtain”, with

the visible graphics placed on top of the curtain. • The Grey control buttons are contained in a second frame container NAV_CTRL. 12.6.2 General Design Guidelines Some general design considerations have been adopted in the development of the screens in order to develop design standards. These include the display of critical turbine parameters, including IGV angle, Compressor Delivery Pressure, Exhaust Temperature, Turbine Speed, on every screen. A minimum height of 24 points and width of 30 points is used with buttons to facilitate usage in touchscreen applications. In the selection of nomenclature acronyms have been avoided and English wherever feasible.

58

12.6.3 Design Philosophy, Functional Grouping and Object Naming Interface Foundation Level 0:

Level 1:

Each turbine unit has a single pushbutton used to assign the UNIT, UNIT_NAME and UNIT_NO screen variables. All points within the Unit_Control.cim file (i.e., L1START, L4) are proceeded by the screen variable ‘UNIT’(UnitL1START, UnitL4,UnitL4T). Thus the L1 buttons are used to navigate from Unit1 Control to Unit2 Control and the same CIMPLICITY file may be used. This functionality simplifies revision control on multi-unit interfaces. The UNIT variable is assigned values such as ‘T1_’, ‘T2_’… for gas or ‘S1_’, ‘S2_’… for steam, depending on the number of units. Thus, when Unit3 Control is selected, the variable ‘Unit’ is assigned the value ‘T3_’. The UNIT_NAME variable is displayed in the upper right hand corner on the turbine banner. The UNIT_NO variable is used to assign object visibility’s to buttons like ‘Tools’ or GT# Synch.

synch

demand

gt1 synch gt2 synch gt3 synch gt4 synch

gt1 demand gt2 demand gt3 demand gt4 demand

When procedures access files separate from the Unit_Control.cim File, L0 procedures are used. Sometimes buttons are stacked upon one another and the UNIT_NO screen variable is used to set button visibility. This feature allows unit specific procedures to be linked to what appears to be a single button. Note: Screen Variable

59

Level 2:

Level 3:

The second group of buttons on the right side of the Unit_Control screen are used for function mode navigation. Functionally these buttons break the DATA_CTRL frame containers navigation up into the following four groups; Control, Monitoring, Auxiliary and Tests. When one of these buttons is depressed the NAV_CTRL frame container display will be affected. Mouse up sets the NAV_CTRL screen variable and allows access to all Control options, Monitoring Options, Auxiliary Options or Test Options. The procedures for this level of navigation are preceded by L2, thus, allowing functional grouping of all navigation procedures (i.e., L1, L2 and L3). Additionally, the last user selected control option, monitoring option, auxiliary option or test option is maintained in memory. Thus allowing the user the option of toggling between a certain control screen(ex. DLN 2.6) and a particular monitoring screen(ex. Exhaust Temps) by depressing the level 2 navigation buttons (control/monitoring).

The final set of navigation buttons (grey) are used for actual frame to frame navigation. The Level 3 options (button lists) are displayed using a frame container called NAV_CTRL and are set to a number between 1 and 4 corresponding with the value for Control, Monitoring, Ax or Tests.. These buttons assign the variable ‘DATA_CTRL’ and allow navigation to all the control, monitoring, aux. and test frames(currently 26 possible frames). The Data control frames are named according to the Level 3 buttons that are used to get to these frames. For example, the ‘motors’ button will take you to the ‘motors’ frame and the ‘trips’ button will take you to the ‘trips’ frame.

60

12.6.4 Editing Frames Caution: Some Objects within frames are grouped, forming a single object, with associated properties such as animation. Ungrouping of objects will delete the object properties. To Edit screens in Unit_Control.cim • Select SVRn.gef file in Cimproj directory • Select Cimedit icon using left mouse button. • Select “Yes” to start project from dialog box • From Cimedit screen menu toolbar select File | open | Unit_control • Using right mouse button click in the center of the screen, until the open frame container dialog box opens below.

Note: It is usually necessary to click several times in different locations before the correct dialog box opens. Do not be concerned if all the screens appear to merge together – this is normal

• Select Open Frame Container. Five Buttons will appear on the left hand side of the screen. These buttons allow the

creation | deletion of frames and the navigation between individual frames. Moving the mouse pointer over the buttons will provide text boxes showing the function of the buttons.

Individual objects within frames may now be edited. 12.6.5 Procedure for Editing Objects • Copy object into a new Cimedit screen. • Edit object • Delete object in original screen • Copy revised object into original screen. Note: Objects may have animation associated with them. This animation is lost when an object is ungrouped. Using the above procedure will help in avoiding mistakes. 12.6.6 Changing an Incorrect Point Name on a Screen • From Explorer go to \Screens directory, right click on the unit control screen Unit_control.cim and select edit. • Move the pointer over the small frame of the window containing Master Select, Master Control, Load Control, etc. Right

Click and select ‘Open Frame Container’. Five buttons will appear in the upper left hand corner of the screen. • The top two arrow’s (in the upper left corner) allow you to scroll forward and backward through the frames. Scroll

through until you get to the Start/FastStart/Stop frame. • With pointer over the start button, right click. Select ‘Point View’. A window will pop up and show the wrong point,

example: ‘Tn_L1S’. With the pointer over this point, double click slowly (left button – like renaming a file) so that you can edit the point name. Type the correct point, example: Tn_L1START_CPB in its place. Hit enter.

• CIMPLICITY will warn you that all instances of Tn_L1S will be replaced with Tn_L1START_CPB, Hit OK to accept. If above steps were completed properly you should NOT have CIMPLICITY warn that Tn_L1START_CPB is not in the database. If warning appears repeat steps. Close the Point View screen.

61

12.6.7 Creating a New Button Procedure • With pointer over the desired button, example: ‘START’ button right click and choose ‘Properties’. Choose the ‘Events’

Tab. • To the far right of the Actions Dialog box click on the ‘>’ button and choose ‘New Procedure’. A new window will open

up. • For Procedure Name, type logical nomenclature, example: Ctrl_MASTER _START. Then click on the ‘New’ button in

the bottom left hand corner. • Now click on the down arrow next to the ‘Action Type’ Dialog box. Select ‘Absolute Setpoint’ from the drop down

menu. Two new dialog boxes will appear. • In the Point ID dialog box type desired point name, example: Tn_L1START_CPB (or click on the right arrow and

choose this point out of the database of points that appears). • In the Value dialog box type 4 (Scans to hold value). • Critical commands should require confirmation. This is established by ensuring the small ‘Confirmed’ box has a check

mark. • Click OK to accept this new procedure. • Use the arrow keys to scroll back to the frame containing Master Select, Master Control, Load Control, etc. • Click on the box with the X in it (bottom button). The frame container should close.

• Save the screen and close it.

• Repeat for any other units, example: T2, T3, T4.

Note: To modify and create procedures which are similar to existing procedures. Access the entire list from the foundation of unit_control.cim. Duplicate or edit procedures as needed, then attach the procedures to the desired objects. 12.6.8 Multi-Unit Screen Differences Tools Button The tools button in a multi-unit system consist of a number of buttons equivalent to the number of units grouped together as a single object in CIMPLICITY. The visibility of each individual button is controlled by the screen variable UNIT_NO. This button color is OLIVE. This object (group of buttons) overlays a second button color GRAY which has visibility controlled by the screen variable LOCAL_PROJECT. When LOCAL_PROJECT is a “0” the computer is acting as a “Viewer”. When LOCAL_PROJECT is a “1” the computer is acting as a “Server” and the Unit\OLIVE buttons will be visible. Viewer Limitation When CIMPLCITY HMI is acting as a “Viewer” certain functions are not available. These include • Valve Calibration • Setting Hardware Jumpers • Demand • IO_Check • Manual Sync Scope These functions are activated by buttons which execute procedures on the CIMPLICITY HMI screens. These buttons overlay duplicate buttons whose visibility is controlled by the variable LOCAL_PROJECT. When the system is a viewer the LOCAL_PROJECT variable is set to zero and the Viewer buttons become. These buttons have a dark gray faceplate. A screen text is also activated which alerts the operator to the viewer limitation. 12.6.7 Observer User Role Configuration The OBSERVER user role will place the screens in a view only mode. No commands can be given nor alarms cleared. In order for this to work correctly the following will need to be done on the HMI in the field. 1. Log on as Administrator. 2. In the Cimplicity Configuration cabinet (Project name.gef file) under the Users icon, Add a new user called

OBSERVER. using the USER role which should be set for zero control options

62

1. Go to Start/Program/administrative tools (common)/user manager. 2. At the User Manager display window, select the user drop down menu at the top and then new user. 3. Under the New user window type in OBSERVER for the username and full name. 4. Also include a site specific password. 5. Select the “password never expires” and unselect “must change password at next log in” option or whatever is desired. 6. Select the groups’ button at the bottom of the new user window. 7. Add “user”to the “members of” window if not already present. 8. Select OK to return to the new user window, then select OK again to exit. 9. From the C:\WINNT\PROFILES directory select file from the drop down menu and then new folder option. 10. Call the new folder Default_User 11. MOVE all sub directories of the already existing “C:\WINNT\PROFILES\Default User” directory to the new

Default_User directory. 12. COPY all of the sub directories and files of “C:\WINNT\PROFILES\OPER” to the “C:\WINNT\PROFILES\Default

User” directory. 13. Ensure a shortcut to the Cimplicity project and screen exists in the C:\WINNT\PROFILES\Default User\Start

menu\Programs\Startup. If not, see custom setup directions above. 14. Select start\Shutdown\shutdown and log on as different user. 15. At the prompt, log on as OBSERVER, Except all the following default prompts. 16. At this time a new C:\WINNT\PROFILES directory will be automatically created using the OPER setup that was copied

into the default user directory in step 13. The new directory will be called OBSERVER. 17. LOG onto Cimplicity as OBSERVER. 18. To log back on as OPER or any other user, hit CTRL,ALT & Delete, then log off button. 19. While logged on as OBSERVER, all commands will issue a security violation when attempted. All access to the TCI

tools and MKV interface software will also be denied. The Alarm options can be removed from the main screen and the alarm screen by setting the visibility of the buttons to the following expression $USER NE "OBSERVER".

12.7 Auto Logon for Windows NT & CIMPLICITY HMI 12.7.1 Introduction In many factory environments it is desirable to have a default logon to the operating system that also acts as a logon for CIMPLICITY so that one only needs to turn on the machine to have CIMPLICITY come up and be ready for use. There are two steps to having a CIMPLICITY project startup when the machine is booted with an appropriate CIMView screen available. The first is to have an automatic logon for Windows NT, and the second is to have an auto startup of CIMPLICITY. 12.7.2 TCI Configuration A default logon for Windows NT can be created using TCI which replicates making entries in the Registry database. • Set TCI to startup automatically on system boot in start | settings | services • Enable Autologin in TCI, selecting username and password (if required).

Select TCI icon in start | settings | control panel followed by Autologin tab. In Site tab specify location for project directory

12.7.3 Configuring CIMPLICITY to Start up Automatically There are three parts to configuring CIMPLICITY to automatically start. a) Configure a CIMPLICITY user that is the same name as the Windows NT autologon user b) Configure the project to start c) Get the desired CIMView screen to come up. a)To configure a CIMPLICTY user, • First open the CIMPLICITY Configuration Cabinet for the project that you want to auto-start. • Double click the Users icon, click on File, then click New. • Type the user name and click the OK button. • Click on the ellipses button to choose a role for this user. A password is not mandatory for the user; if no password is

then the Password Needed box should be clear. • Click on Resources and add whatever resources this user needs to access. If you give the user the role of SYSMGR, all

resources are accessible.

63

b) CIMPLICITY Project Auto Start Getting TCI and CIMPLICITY to start automatically at system boot requires some special configuration. Since the TCI service will start CIMPLICITY, the CIMPLICITY service should not be configured for automatic startup. However specifying the CIMPLICITY project to be started using CIMPLICITY Options (startup.exe) also configures CIMPLICITY to start automatically and if CIMPLICITY runs before TCI, then it may not be able to link correctly with the communication system. After running CIMPLICITY Options to specify the startup project, open Control Panel | Services and change the startup for the CIMPLICITY service from automatic to manual and now it will wait until TCI has finished its startup before bringing up the project. NOTE: Setting the CIMPLICITY startup service to MANUAL using Control Panel/Services will cause the CIMPLICITY project that was previously set for autostart up under CIMPLICITY Options to be displayed grayed out and the startup option will now have NONE Selected. This is OK. Do NOT reselect auto startup under CIMPLICITY Options.

To configure the project to start up automatically, 1. First Select Start | CIMPLICITY | HMI | CIMPLICITY Options. Double click the CIMPLICITY Options icon. 2. Go to Startup Options Tab and then hit the Add button. Browse for your project fusing the browse button (preferred) or

enter the full path name of the project in the space provided. Once entered in hit the OK button. For example, if the project you want to start is SVR1 and it’s in the PROJECTS directory under CIMPLICITY on drive C, you would type:C:\CIMPLICITY\Site\Cimproj\SVR1.gef. Case is ignored by Windows NT.

3. Verify the Start projects radio button is checked 4. Verify Accept Connections radio button is checked. 5. Select Start | Settings | Contol Panel | Services. Check if CIMPLICITY HMI Service is set to “ Manual” at startup. If

not reset by selecting startup button and selecting Manual option from dialogue box. 6. The last step is to configure which screen is to be started first on this node. First, a decision needs to be made on how you

would like to start the screen. The screen can either be started based on who logs in, which is useful if changes will need to be made to the project in the future. The second choice is to have the screen start no matter who logs in. For the examples, the screen that will be started will be overview.cim in the SCREENS directory under CUSTOMER in the PROJECTS directory under CIMPLICITY.

7. Now an entry in the Startup Group needs to be made. To accomplish this right click on your Task Bar and then go to Properties. Then select the Start Menu Programs and hit the Add button. Enter in the Command Line the following, this is assuming that the same screen from above is being used: "c:\CIMPLICITY\hmi\exe\cimview.exe /WaitForProject SVR1 c:\Site\cimproj\screens\Overview.cim" (Note: Other command line options can be used in the above, refer to the Base System Manual under CimView Command Line Options, the /WaitForProject option is required).

8. Next highlight the Startup Group and then hit the next button. In the select Program Folder dialog box, select “Startup”. Now enter in a meaningful name for the shortcut, to use as the screens description. This does not need to match the CimView’s screen name. Hit the Finish button and then hit OK to exit the Taskbar Properties.

After completing one of the above restart the computer and it will boot up with CIMPLICITY started and the correct CIMView screen showing. The startup of CIMPLICITY occasionally will take longer than the starting up of the CIMView screen. If at first the screen is not animated, or setpoints fail, simply wait a moment for CIMPLICITY to finish starting.

12.8 TCI Viewer Setup Typically Viewers only communicate over Ethernet. Viewers query Servers over Ethernet, then Servers query the Mark V over Stagelink. • Viewer Startup Procedure

1. Start | Programs | CIMPLICITY | HMI | Complicity Options. 2. Go to startup tab, System Boot Options - check “Start as Viewer”.

64

12.9 Multi-Unit Setup 12.9.1 Configuration Overview • In a multi-unit system each server has a unique computer name and unique project name. Each server can access it

own data and act as a viewer. • A Remote system can be a Server or a Viewer Consider a Multi-Unit system with three servers, and a remote viewer. The naming convention is shown in the Table and picture below. Server SVR1 collects data from Unit 1, SVR2 data from Unit 2, SVR3 from Unit 3 and REM1 is a viewer for SVR2. The Unit Variables are initialized at start up. Computer Name SVR1 SVR2 SVR3 REM1 Project Name SVR1 SVR2 SVR3 REM1 Unit Variable \\SVR1\T1_ \\SVR2\T2_ \\SVR3\T3_ \\REM1\T2_ . For server SVR1 the navigation button Gas Turbine 1 initiates a procedure L1_Gas_Turbine_1 with the associated actions. The variable LOCAL_VARIABLE is set to 1 on SRV1. For the remaining procedures, L1_Gas_Turbine_2 and L1_Gas_Turbine_3 the variable is set to 0 as shown in the example below. For Server SVR1 L1_Gas_Turbine_1 – UNIT, \\SVR1\T1_ UNIT_NAME, “GT1” UNIT_NO,1 LOCAL_PROJECT,1 L1_Gas_Turbine_2 – UNIT, \\SVR2\T2_ UNIT_NAME, “GT2” UNIT_NO,2 LOCAL_PROJECT,0 L1_Gas_Turbine_3 – UNIT, \\SVR3\T3_ UNIT_NAME, “GT3” UNIT_NO,3 LOCAL_PROJECT,0 For Server SVR2 L1_Gas_Turbine_1 – UNIT, \\SVR1\T2_ UNIT_NAME, “GT2” UNIT_NO,1 LOCAL_PROJECT,0 L1_Gas_Turbine_2 – UNIT, \\SVR2\T2_ UNIT_NAME, “GT2” UNIT_NO,2 LOCAL_PROJECT,1 L1_Gas_Turbine_3 – UNIT, \\SVR3\T3_ UNIT_NAME, “GT3” UNIT_NO,3 LOCAL_PROJECT,0 If the computers are acting as Viewers then the naming convention would be VWR1, VWR2… . L1_Gas_Turbine_1 – UNIT, \\VWR1\T1_ UNIT_NAME, “GTn” UNIT_NO,1 LOCAL_PROJECT,0 L1_Gas_Turbine_2 – UNIT, \\VWR1\T2_ UNIT_NAME, “GT2” UNIT_NO,2 LOCAL_PROJECT,0 L1_Gas_Turbine_3 – UNIT, \\VWR1\T3_ UNIT_NAME,

UNIT_NO,3 LOCAL_PROJECT,0

65

For Remote REM1 acting as a Server L1_Gas_Turbine_1 – UNIT, \\REM1\T1_ UNIT_NAME, “GT1” UNIT_NO,1 LOCAL_PROJECT,1 L1_Gas_Turbine_2 – UNIT, \\REM1\T2_ UNIT_NAME, “GT2” UNIT_NO,2 LOCAL_PROJECT,1 L1_Gas_Turbine_3 – UNIT, \\REM1\T3_ UNIT_NAME, “GT3” UNIT_NO,3 LOCAL_PROJECT,1 Note: If REM1 is acting as a Viewer then Local_Project would be 1

Variable Assignments can be examined and changed by viewing “Screen Properties” with the main frame container closed. • Screen variables will need to be set so that when screen is opened the desired gas turbine unit is displayed

• The UNIT variable needs to be set to : T1_, T2_, T3_… .. • UNIT_NAME needs to be set to: “GT1”, “GT2”, “GT3”… . • UNIT_NO needs to be set: 1,2,3 … …

12.9.2 Multi-Unit Network Addresses The following network addresses are suitable for a six unit system comprising of two(2) servers, two(2) viewers, a remote server and a historian. In addition PLC1 and PLC2 provide an interface to the balance of plant. A system topology is shown below:

13.3 Restore Network Configuration The restoration that is provided is generic for all HMI’s. With this in mind there are a few Network configuration items that need to change to make the restoration specific to the particular HMI. Computer Name, IP Address, and ARCNET (Stagelink) Address are the specific items that need to be modified. • To change the Computer Name and the IP Address, double click on the My Computer Icon, and then double click on the

Control Panel Icon, within the My Computer window. • From the Control Panel window, double click on the Network Icon. • In the Network window there are (5) tabs. The first tab is named Identification. Click on the Change button on this

tab. Change the Computer Name for this PC. Click on OK. • Select the Protocols tab. Single click on the TCP/IP Protocol to select it, and then click on the Properties button. • Change the IP Address, Subnet Mask, DNS and Gateway information to match to the corresponding PC Address.

Click on OK. • Click on the Close button in the Network window. • In pop up window Select NO for restarting the PC • From the Control Panel window, double click on the TCI Icon. This is where the ARCNET address will be modified for

the particular PC. • Select the ARCNET tab in the Turbine Control Interface. • Change the ARCNET Link Address value. This value should ultimately be the value that corresponds to the dip

switches on the ARCNET card installed in the PC. • Select OK. • Once these changes have been made, shutdown and restart the PC.

13.4 CIMPLICITY Installation In the event it is necessary to re-install CIMPLICITY only • Stop TCI: At Dos prompt type net stop TCI • Uninstall CIMPLICITY using Add/Remove Programs from the Start | Settings | Control Panel menu or using the

uninstall program on the CIMPLICITY product CD. • Re-install CIMPLICITY and the project using the setup icon from the product CD

13.5 Software Verification If a verification of the installed software is required, the following procedure may be adopted. • Check Mark V Log Files in G:Log for errors. TCI.log should always be checked • Verify Software Compiles: From DOS prompt F:\UniTn\ Run Mk5Make and IOCFG and verify successful completion.

This will create the necessary AP1 files necessary for a download. • Constset.dat file created: This file must exist in Unitn directory. It is used by the constants adjust program to define

which constants are adjustable. For a Mk5 all constants should be adjustable. Constset.exe tool creates the Constset.dat file for Mk5 HMI. For an LM HMI this file will have to be edited manually. To create Constset.dat from Dos prompt type CONSTSET /UNIT:Tn. Assure that CNTRL_LOC.DAT is removed from F:\ root directory, it can cause problems with Logic forcing and constants.

• Timesync.dat file in place. This file should be in the F:\ directory. • Appropriate ioports.dat file should be located in the F:\ directory. A default template file is now included in the

TCI\DATA directory. • Site_name defined. This is a CIMPLICITY virtual point which is used on screens to define the site name. It is defined in

the CIMPLICITY point data base. • Verify that all download files are present (*.AP1). Format_q.ap1, format_b.ap1, Totd_q.ap1, totd_b.ap1. These files

need to be created using the *.dat files generated by bobcat. There is a conversion utility to do this. Command syntax is (batch file available on server, AP1MAKE.BAT): G:\EXEC\IH2AP1 FORMAT_Q.DAT FORMAT_Q.AP1 FRMT same for the _b file G:\EXEC\IH2AP1 TOTD_Q.DAT TOTD_Q.AP1 TOTD

same for the _b file • Check all screens for undefined variables. With project running, run Cimview and open each screen, view the screen

properties, select the points tab to show you which points have not been defined.

69

• Users defined and configured. • Enumerated state variables exist for CIMPLICITY screens. Enumdata.dat defines enumerated states.

14.0 Printers Printers and their drivers can be installed by using the printer wizard provided by NT. Select from the start menu control panel/printers.

14.1 Alarm Printer & EPA Printer The normal procedure for configuring an alarm printer is to rename one of the existing printers. If a new printer needs to be created then use the following procedure. To add a printer select Start | Settings | Printers

and use the wizard to install the printer

Note for Dot Matrix Printers: Connect OKI printer to LPTn add printer and driver.. Rename the printer’s name to “Alarm Printer” (Note:the space between “Alarm” & “Printer” is required. You can further

70

configure the alarm logging, by typing LOGGER from the Dos prompt. Using this you can turn off process or diagnostic alarms)

The EPA Printer is installed in the same manner as the Alarm Printer. It should be named “EPA Printer” and the following entry added “EPA_LOG=yes” in F:\CONFIG.dat file in the Options section. The EPA printer configured as “EPA Printer” should be different from the printer used for alarm logging.

14.2 Printer Setup on HMI and Historian connected over Ethernet • Verify that your printer has an Ethernet card. If it does not then you can only connect it to one PC’s parallel port. • Setup, connect to the Ethernet, and power on the printer. • Reference the printer documentation to print printer setup. • Reference the printer documentation for directions on how to set the TCP/IP address to 192.168.1.70 14.2.1 Adding Microsoft TCP/IP Printing to the HMI/Historian • Log into Administrator account. • Click on Start -> Control Panel -> Network -> Services tab • Look for Microsoft TCP\IP Printing • If it is not there add it.

15.0 Creating the IO_TEST Screens The IO_TEST screens are used to examine physical analogue and digital inputs and are invaluable during the checkout phase of the installation. 1. Create a subdirectory named IO_TEST under the Unitn directory (where n is the unit number). 2. Copy the files mkiotestscr.cim, contacts.cim, and analog.cim to the IO_TEST directory, from the product CD 3. Make sure that the CIMPLICITY project is started. 4. Create the I/O test screens by double clicking on mkiotestscr.cim. This screen runs scripts that do the following:

• Create digitals.txt and analogs.txt from digital and analog input point data extracted from io.asg, located in the Unitn directory.

• Insert point data from digitals.txt and analogs.txt into the screen template files contacts.ctx and analog.ctx. • Create enough screen files of the form contactsn.ctx and analogn.ctx to hold all the digital and analog points. • Convert ctx files to cim files. • Create a file, signals.csv, containing the point information for import into the CIMPLICITY point database. • Dynamically import the point information into CIMPLICITY.

5. Repeat for multiple units.

16.0 Modbus Configuration with HMI The Configuration description shown below has been tested with

- a laptop Compaq Armada 7770DMT, with infra-red port disabled. - COM1 is used on the laptop - COM2 used on the HMI

16.1 File Config.dat (Only the lines needed for Modbus are shown) The file Config.dat is located in D:\Site

The Modbus option has to be activated as follows: OPTIONS

MODBUS=YES

16.2 File IO_ports.dat (Only the lines needed are shown) Located in D:\Site

[MODBUS_SLAVE_PORT] port com2 baud 9600 parity 0 ;0-4 (none,odd,even,mark,space) databits 8 ;5-8 stopbits 0 ;0-2 (1, 1.5, 2 stop bits) xonxoff 0 ;0-1 port_it 40 ;Timeout interval between characters, msec. Default=40 port_tt 200 ;Timeout for total message, msec. Default=200 [MODBUS_ASSIGNMENT] SLAVE 1 UNIT T1 MODE NATIVE [MODBUS_SLAVE_TIMEOUT] modbus_timeout 4000 ;Time (milliseconds) before we give up and send nak modbus_timeout_nak 6 ;Nak code used if unit timeout occurs.

16.3 Procedure 1) The Modbus.dat (located in your unit directory) file has to contain less than 300 point names without any logic

pointnames. Erase any unwanted pointname in this file. 2) Execute Modbus_L.exe in your Unitn directory (located in C:\TCI\Exec). This program creates a Modbus.LST

file in your unit directory. 3) Copy Modbus.LST onto your laptop in the directory where you installed MODCOMM. Both Modbus.LST on the

HMI and your laptop HAVE TO MATCH ! 4) Copy Modbus.Dat into Modbus_N.Dat 5) Stop and restart the TCI (via Start Menu ? Settings ? Control Panel ? Services) 6) Run MODCOMM on your laptop with the following configuration.

74

16.4 MODCOMM Configuration Modcomm has to be installed on your laptop. Your infra-red port has to be disabled.

Baud................9600 Parity...............None DataBits........... 8 StopBits...........1 Port..................COM 1 ComLink........... Continuous Output.............. Your_Output_File_Name Connect............Direct Modbus............ Function Code...03 Slave Address...01

16.5 Troubleshooting 16.5.1 Modbus Log File A log file named Modbus.LOG is created each time TCI is started (in C:\TCI\LOG), and should look like this:

12-FEB-1999 07:56:18.210 Modbus Server Program is starting. -- Processing section header in MODBUS_SETUP_FILE: "[MODBUS_SLAVE_PORT]" PORT="COM2", BAUD = 9600, PARITY = 0, DATABITS = 8 STOPBITS = 0, XONXOFF = 0, PORT_IT = 40, PORT_TT = 200 -- Processing section header in MODBUS_SETUP_FILE: "[MODBUS_ASSIGNMENT]" SLAVE = 1, MODE = 4, UNIT = T1 -- Processing section header in MODBUS_SETUP_FILE: "[MODBUS_SLAVE_TIMEOUT]" TIMEOUT = 4000, TIMEOUT_NAK = 6 -- Processing data for slave 1. -- Timer thread started. -- Mark V data thread is ready. "COM2" serial port thread is ready.

Some errors may be related to point names that Modbus doesn’t recognize, but it shouldn’t prevent modbus from functioning.

16.5.2 Modbus Trace file When debug is on (on by default), global section trace buffer may be viewed with the command: gbl2file MModbus_trace# <some_file_name> where # is 1,2,3...8 depending on which [MODBUS_MASTER_PORT] section corresponds to the information we want. If only one [MODBUS_MASTER_PORT] section exists, then the global section trace command could be viewed with: gbl2file MModbus_trace1 modbus1.dat This will display some debugging and program status information. The trace option may be turned off by adding /NOTRACE to the command line: MModbus /NOTRACE. If the program encounters a serious error or warning, the result is placed into a log file as well as the global section trace buffer. The user should check file
