Dear Technical, I guess maybe I am a little confused. I am not aware of why you would need to identify the last 2 letters of the part number of any card as it does not really help in identifying firmware versions. If you are trying to purchase spare cards that will work in all machines then...

Dear FEFO, as CSA has asked: Does this problem happen on all 4 machines? When were these machines put into service and when did the problem begin? Does it happen all the time, on each start? Or is it somewhat dependent on the whether conditions? What type of control system is...

Dear FEFO, on a DLN 1 unit the secondary flame detector values should go to a normal "flame ok" value as soon as the unit goes into lean-lean mode. Have you removed all of the flame detectors and inspected them for cleanliness? This type of slow rise is not normal. I have heard of low...

Dear Technical, the major revision, for the VTUR example below is a "H1B" which can be seen from the toolbox application, or by looking at the front of the card, or by looking at the edge of the card with it removed. The last 2 digits are the "minor" revision and to my knowledge can only be...

Dear Gasco, If TCI has not started then yes you can start it from cmd prompt. But if you have a "G" pseudo drive then I suspect TCI is already running, and it should be a service that is started automatically. You should have a .hmb file for each machine, example is GT1_SVR, GT2_SVR...

Dear GASCO, I wish for your sake that there was a complete document that lists all the steps to build or rebuild a GE workstation, but I have never seen one. If it was only the cimplicity project that got damaged then I do not understand why you felt the need to reload windows, cimplicity and...

Dear HAR, I do not have a lot of time to post a long reply at this point, but I will attempt to help. For now we will assume that the VCMI for "R" did fail. Several quick questions. 1) Did you verify the version of the VCMI is the same as what you removed? This should be right on...

So Bill here are my suggestions and thoughts on your issue. Some further clarification would be helpful in our discussion of your units. The sequencing I am most familiar with assumes your 7EA is driving an air cooled generator and uses a Voith converter that is equipped with a ratchet...

Bill, I am working on a reply to your post. Sounds like an interesting site, can't imagine what is costs to run your 4160 motors 24/7. Definitely a different market out where you are.

Bill, like CuriousOne I have seen this before on older units, it is the unfortunate part of Emerson copying rung for rung logic from old units. It sounds to me your issue lies with logic that controls the torque converter fill solenoid 20TU, possibly how the cranking motor is issued a shutdown...

Brian and CSA, I can tell you that I have worked at two sites now and have configured a connection to talk directly to a MKVE over TCP/IP. Now I call it a MKVE, since it was a retrofit of an old MKV. I am confused sometimes by GE since the retrofits of the MKV have taken many names. But...

Alexander, as the moderator notes the "sharing" of information is a difficult and sticky task these days. May I suggest that you attempt to join a users group or suggest the customer attempt to join a group. I am a member of a group as a "user" and have access to TIL's, or can request...

Abbernardo and CSA, I would like to make a comment just to make sure I am understanding the situation and just maybe help others. Abbernardo you say your machine was operating in preselected load mode at some part load amount. Meaning you had a preselected load setpoint active and that load...

Will, you are correct that the extensions program only backs up the ABB station settings, graphics etc. I do not know of a way to image a Unix hard drive like you can a windows machine. For the windows machines I use Acronis, if there was something like that for unix it would be a great...

Jim, when the unit drops out of Premix into Lean Lean are there any other alarms that annunciate? I know when we used to perform online washed we would watch the flame scanner counts and actually stop the wash if counts started to decrease on more than one scanner. This usually signaled...

Dear Amosiss, this may be a difficult one to help with. It would help if we knew what model of machine you are talking about, what control system is in use, and what type of liquid fuel control valve is in use. Does your system have a liquid fuel bypass valve that has an LVDT for position...

Dear Manjunath and CSA, I am just wondering if this is too simple an answer. You say that the magnetic speed pickups stopped working while running which caused the machine to trip. And then on the next start-up the pickups did not show any readings and the machine trips on loss of flame...

Nice job Amosiss, glad you were able to resolve your problem. And thank you also for the feedback that will hopefully help someone in the future.

Dear TurboPower, I attempted to search the control constants you provided in your post, with some controller files I have and did not come up with anything. I suspect your unit to be something of a newer vintage, possibly with more bells and whistles as far as the DLN2.6. I wish I could...

Dear FSX, this is the information I can provide. The manufacturer of the hydraulic pumps I am familiar with is Hartmann hydraulics. It is possible that your pumps are manufactured by a different company since GE uses various manufacturers. For the Frame 5 unit I maintain the part...
