We have a Mark5 to 6e migration with Arcnet to EX2000 and single LCI (Windows 7 HMIs do not have Arcnet.) The plant has been down for scheduled maintenance. After powering up the EX2Ks and LCI we noticed that both GT EX2000 OC displays are occasionally flashing 'Loss of Communication'. The Mark6e does not detect any problems. It shows the C Core Arcnet is OK, no alarms or diagnostics. The Steam Turbine EX2K is fine so I question the common link between the 2 GTs, which is the LCI, however, the LCI display is fine.
We've checked all the terminations for tightness and the OC Arcnet cards are active.
I've rebuilt an old Mark5 HMI (Windows XP and PCI Arcnet card) but it's not working properly. The Arcnet card is installed with drivers but 'Arcwho' is not available. I think Arcwho is part of the TCI, or turbine control software, but that software does not start up properly on (this old) standalone, not connected, HMI.
Are there tools (maybe from 3rd party vendors) I can get like Arcwho that I can run on an old Windows XP with an Arcnet card?
Any other tips will be appreciated.
