Oops!!! Both trips were on MkV. I used the word “pack” to mean the rest of the thermocouples. No reference to MKVIe. Sorry to mislead. And no diagnostics from either of the MkV panels.

Thanks again. “Active” I used to describe the TCs that pass from RST via their selection on the TTXMV4. I appreciate the way of the combustion monitor and its complications and that fail low is the dominant TC fail mode. What really made me pick up on this single point failure trip is that it...

Brilliant WTF. Many thanks for sharing your experience and recollections. Yes MKVIe has a more sophisticated exhaust T/C monitor. The fail high had me scratching my head as this flies in the face of the MKV single point failure immunity tag. My only comment is that the calculation of average...

Thank you for your response Dave. The point of my post was to ascertain agreement or otherwise on the MKV Combustion monitor being relatively immune to T/C which fail low, the dominant failure mode but not immune to a single T/C which fails high.

Adding to the thread for posterity and responding to unanswered questions and providing a conclusion. The panel is a true B panel. The MKV manual to which I made reference is GEH-6195H, Appendix A, Page A-4. JP23 on SDCC been in 2-3 now for 3 weeks without any noticeable performance change or...

Thanks ControlsGuy25, I also have asked around colleagues on other sites where same generation of MkV is. True B panels and all JP23 to 2/3. I’ve changed and all seems well so far after reboot.

Many thanks CSA - I like your statement of the obvious, and you are perfectly correct, however the owner will no doubt have a completely different take should it "not work". I have heard that there is an OEM document which advises that the last two revision letters on MKV cards the GD and GH...

Good Day CSA, Apologies for the delay in providing a solution to the issue. We were faced with swapping cards / cables one at a time, or replacing with new and monitoring, probably over many days, which was not a timely solution. We opted to replace all cards and cables on the misbehaving...

Perhaps our paths have crossed - I was frequently in Salem and Schenectady, latterly once or twice in Greenville and Atlanta and Loveland. Most of my years on Gas Frames 3 to 9, most varieties, most fuels. Wsa in the field, and latterly in design then Plant Assessment.

Glenmorangie I can understand - being Scottish. theGingerbeer - Engineer- comes from my days in the middle east as a TA many moons ago - even in the times of MKI and even some old LA work with the beautiful electro hydraulic / pneumatic governors

Sorry for the attachment - it should not have been there and I have removed it. Many thanks for your response. Ill discuss it with my colleague who is on site and we will try to produce a planned approach. I will of course let you know the outcomes, whic I trust will be positive...
