Okay Walt (and everyone) I asked the vendor of Conductor NT - ABB, several MONTHS ago and so far all I've received from them, is what appears to be a generic e-mail that assures me someone will get back to me with help options, 'very soon'. I'm still waiting... So here I am asking the forum...

John, Thanks for replying to that post, you saved me a lot of typing - I would have said the same but maybe in more words... I can't add anything more. - Tony

Your best option by far would be the Power Generation Portal (PGP) HMI, which I understand is now an integral part of the newly announced Symphony Plus program, you mentioned. The biggest advantage of this console is that you can retain your SODG displays that you have installed in your OIS...

Don't know what type of HMI you had over your Infi90 before the upgrade to Ovation (or whatever third party system you chose), but if it was a legacy console such as MCS, OIS20 series OIS 40 series, PCV 4.x, PCV 5.x - any that used the SODG displays, your best option would be to upgrade your HMI...

Hi Ashique, Hmmmm, interesting... Maybe nothing though, could be a misunderstanding, of the slot numbering (positions). It is most unusual to locate the NIS/NPM modules in slots 1&2 / 3&4. Normally those first two slots are where you situate your IMMFP0x, BRCx00, IMMFC0x or if your system...

Hi Ashiq, I wouldn't go quite that far yet, unless you have no spare slots in another MMU above or below the MMU you suspect is faulty. First of all, have you tried replacing the NIS and NPM modules with ones that you know are OK? If you have tried replacing both with known good ones and...

Ashiq, Your NIS/NPM's are not the problem - all are working as they should, however you have a problem somewhere in your power system, possibly a fan or a cabinet temperature alarm, or even an intermittent power supply module. You see all as good (in your status report from Composer)...

Refer to John's post (25 Jan 2011) and of all three options he outlines, I've found the first one to be the simplest and most reliable. Depending on what Infi90 'tools' you have on hand, you can use a simple DOS program known as GPI02 or the more up-to-date version of it that partners with the...

Just to reassure Harsha and to add weight to John's comments regarding the various phases from 'active' to obsolete etc., you can simply browse this entire site and look for posts about Bailey Infi90 / ABB Harmony and after a while, one thing will become apparent: You will notice that there is...

The Experion PKS is ok. where it utilizes generic hardware, such as FTE instead of proprietary comms networks and the C300 is a great system. however I have found that configuration of some control algorithms is a bit inflexible. It uses a library of standard blocks, which isn't too extensive...

John, Thanks for that - I wasn't aware that with the BRC300 / 400 you could ignore that block number limitation for online config. As for block re-numbering it's not really that difficult if you leave all of the exception reports at the same numbers. Depends on where the original config...

Answer: TRUE Yes you are correct - the only way you could add a block in the space (spare blocks) between assigned block numbers is with OFFLINE configuration - where both the primary and backup modules would be paced into configure mode and initialized. If it absolutely necessary to use...

"What do they really do?" Pretty simple really, in fact the simplicity of these devices is what made them an attractive and INEXPENSIVE way to accurately measure level in open vessels. (There are now even cheaper and more reliable devices available, which has almost made the humble...

Q. What is the purpose of the ciu connection? A. The Computer Interface Unit (Acronym of CIU) is as the name suggests: the interface between the Bailey DCS network and the computer containing HMI software, such as PCV in your case. The CIU is specially designed to communicate between the...
