It looks like a cimplicity problem, but further investigation is needed to pinpoint the issue. I would look at the Status.log file to see if Cimplicity is spitting out any more errors.

MUNOZLE, Can you be more specific on the error? There could be many issues with controllers or HMIs. If you provide detail on the issues, we can better help you.

Mark VI or Mark VIe? for Mark VI. There are 2 places to archive Trip logs in the Controller. Either using the Dynamic Data Recorder (DDR) or capture buffer blocks. For the DDR: - Open up your GT M6b file. Verify there are some DDRs are configured in the controller. - On the left...

Iqbal, In short, what CSA is saying is that one of the I/O packs is not talking to the controllers. This could be the new PDIO you installed or another pack that could have been bad for sometime. You will only see this 'inputs enabled' when you start up the controller. Go online with the...

Which one? Mark V or Mark VI or Mark VIe. Those PCs are very different on how they are configured. Get back to the group and let us know what version of Mark and What windows version of the HMI.

It is not possible to get the Mark VI serial #s from Toolbox. If you want the Terminal board Serial #, they you need to walk out and view them in person. However, I am not sure why you would need to know the Serial #. If you want to know the part # for re ordering, that is different.

VScontrol, how new is your turbine? For any GT installed over ~3 years, GE doesn't put HART IO into their design. This might be something that was accidentally 'enabled' on your HMI. I would double check that you do not have any 'PHRA' IO modules in the GT. I could go in a long...

Iqbal, What do you mean “the control doesn’t respond”? Can you ping the IP addresses of the controllers? I would like to see where the startup fails. The other thing you could do is connect in with a serial com cable and watch the controller boot up and view the...

Djafer, I assume from the above conversation that you guys are definitely using Mark VI HMIs? i.e. configuraitons with .hmb files? Any chance that you are using ControlST/WorkstationST HMIs (.tcw files) with your mark VI system? Like Demi and CSA said, Mark VIe HMI Modbus is easier. I...

SISO Engineering has the contacts with GE to get this software for folks. Note: You need to be a recognized Mark VIe user/utility Send them an email @ [email protected]. They can walk you through how to get a license for all that software.

Whether re-configuring the Flash card or Using the Serial cable to configure the controller. Both ways do the same thing: it assigns the IP address to the controller and gets its base information so that the UCCC can startup and be ready to receive a real download from ethernet. So as...

ChemSouhd, Did you ever get this issue resolved?

Don't read too much into the last characters. That is a GE internal thing. Long story short, they do different inventory changes in their systems, and they cannot have repeat part #s so they get away with it by adding the 2 extra characters. The External customer should not see a difference, nor...

Definitely sounds like you have to re-flash the controller. See Demigrog's comments. Another stupid question: is there a flash card in the UCCC controller? If there is not, then this could be the reason the UCCC is not booting up. Or the flash card could have been corrupted on reboot. But...

Nowadays, GE doesn't normally do customer FATs. They do internal FAT and do internal testing and then send the system out. However, customers can push to do Software Acceptance Tests (SWAT) for that specific software being done. I don't think they will allow your hardware to be there...
