Please visit saltek.ca or contact me [email protected]. we specialize on ABB Advant Control Systems, but can provide support to other systems (P13, infi90, Blueline) through our partners. Regards.

Hi Choosepace, Years ago we replaced the HMIs for an infi90 control system using Rovisys OPC Server and GE's Cimplicity HMI software package. It works real well, but we did have to recreate all the screens and figure out the bits and pieces behind the animations and function templates. Maybe...

Dear Vu, MasterBus300 does not use I.P. Addresses for communication; it uses node numbers. The connector you talk about only converts the serial connection to Ethernet so that it can be connected to a switch and probably sent via fiber optic to the control room or to other remote nodes, but...

Hi, Can you provide more information about your system? Is the AC450 using the CI522A modules and TC516 modem to communicate with the Advant Filed AF100 bus? Do you have an Operating Station where you can pull out the diagnostic of the buses? What's the status of the LEDs on the CI522A...

Hi, Is this OS collecting alarms and events? One common cause for the Operating Stations being slow is that they have reached or are approaching their limit to store alarms and events in the Hard Drive. In the past, the A&E got dumped to DAT tapes and cleared from the hard drive...

Sudamadhav I have plenty of experience with ALSTOM GTs. One question that I have is, why was operations running the pump continuously? The ELOP is not meant to be run continuously for long periods of time because the motor will burn up. The ELOP is only meant to be used as emergency for...

Hi Antony, Do you know how does your third party non ABB HMI communicates with the MB300 Network? The AC450 communicates with the MB300 network through the CS513 cards so I don't think firmware would have anything to do with the communication. As soon as a new node is on the MB300 network...

Hi Valar, Too bad you can't access the logic. Without having access to the logic it is a bit hard to troubleshoot where the PLS is coming from. A copy of the alarm and events list would be helpful in this case. It might be that the water distribution system detected low pressure and even if...

Hi Randy, Am I right to assume your project name is NEWCOR1? If that is the case, it seems to me that there is a script or a function running on your project that is looking to write a point with the name USER_ACCESS that does not exist in the project's point list and therefore, not...

Hello, Have you considered upgrading your OS500 HMI system? That way you can export Alarms and Event to an Excel file on a .csv format or save trends as files. Here is an alternative you might find useful. http://www.saltek.ca/

Hi Valar, I'm not sure if you still have the issue, but... Do you have the KKS for this Pressure In Water Distribution System PLS alarm? Was it just an alarm or did the unit actually went into PLS? Was there an alarm previous to this one? Usually, PLS conditions are created after 2oo3...

Hi Dima, I was wondering if you had been able to resolve the issue. > We use AC450 & S100 in our plant. Very often we received signal error in the AI loop and it is back normal by itself > in 0.1-1 second. This is happening very randomly JUST in AI signals. > Description our system...

Hi Will, I have worked with Novotek MB300 OPC server and I must tell you it works really well. I recommend it 100%. I have developed several applications to build HMIs and send the information to historians like PI. It works wonderful as you do not need extra hardware to connect to the MB300...
