Dear Nawaz, this sounds like a challenging situation, possibly the filter manufacturer might be able to assist with. The pulse filter system typically does a decent job of cleaning. But with the fine particulate and the high humidity it sounds like it might be too much. I know in many...

Dear CSA, I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors, your input shall be sorely missed here by myself and countless others. I must say I looked forward to your replies here everyday to teach me things I didn't know, and correct me on things I thought I knew. Please keep us in...

Dear MPAC, I have experienced this same type of issue on 2 frame 7EA machines that I maintain. We are located in California where the temperature is typically above freezing. Our machines run near 14inH2O at baseload (switches are set to trip @20inH2O), they are combined cycle, you did not...

Dear LT, you would most likely be a rich man if you could answer this question for all the Frame 7 machines out there. As you most likely know the typical reason for a unit to fall out of premix and go into extended lean-lean mode is a re-ignition of flame in the primary zone. This can be...

It sounds like there is some sort of mechanical problem with the turbine itself. The starting device should be able to accelerate the turbine to around 50% speed where the turbine is able to then be self sustaining and accelerate to operating speed. The fact that the turbine stops...

Dinster, not to break in on Rob, he sounds like he is a good reference for the Advant platform. My understanding is.. - Data Set "DS22" has got 14 Integers Correct - 5 Real data Correct - 5 "BREC" data "Boolean record" "ACT" 1 indicates the database element is "Active" or in use...

Zahid, Here is the batch file I use: xcopy E:\Data_Historian\G1_TripLog_LIVE\*.* e:\Archive_Data\*.* /d /y /s /e xcopy E:\Data_Historian\G2_TripLog_LIVE\*.* e:\Archive_Data\*.* /d /y /s /e It copies everthing from the "Data_Historian" folder to the "Archive_Data" folder. You will need...

Zahid, when I return to work next week I will post the batch file here. Also to run the batch file I use cimplicity to run it as a daily task. Are you familiar with that part of cimplicity? If not I think I can post that. I can't recall if win2k has a task scheduler or not, that may have...

Dear ME, there is no way that I am aware of to increase the storage time of the Trip_Log_Live files. The historian service automatically deletes the files after 3 days, and this is not configurable that I have found. As a workaround I added a batch file that copies all files from the...

Dear Control, you don't mention what type of turbine this is, or what type of exciter this is, so I can only guess. Fault code 728 is an offline trip. I suspect this is not the only fault code, nor do I think this is the fault that tripped the unit. With the EX2000 you must write down...

Dear Techboy, as CSA states what you are attempting is not an easy and straightforward procedure. Several years ago I had a hard drive failure on an Advantech panel mount PC. I had a good Ghost image of the machine that I was able to restore into the machine since it was only a new hard...

Barry, I am not sure if you are connected with Andrew from NAES? I have been looking at a very similar post from him on the 7EA users group. I don't have a clear answer for the questions relating to the block you speak of in the MKV, but I am studying it trying to compare to the more familiar...

CSA/UMAR, CSA, thanks again for the education, always more to see and learn out there, especially in this business. UMAR, sorry for sending you the incorrect formation. Thankfully there are others out there like CSA to help teach us both! I hope that when the turbine is down again you...

Umar, I would suggest monitoring the status of ratchet pressure switch L63HR2F which should be the ratchet forward stroke pressure switch, and L63HRF1 which should be the return stroke pressure switch. Also monitor L20HRX which is the command to the ratchet stroke solenoid valve. Trend...

I am making some assumptions since I have not seen your turbine. I will assume you are using a Voith torque converter for starting and break away means. I do not know how many hours and starts are on your machine but it does sound like a possible problem with the ratchet assembly. I would be...

Dear FAI, I suspect that CSA may have a longer and more descriptive answer for you, but in case he is busy I will try give you a quick answer. Also you may want to search the archives of control.com since the subject of FSR should yield lots of results. FSR, Fuel Stroke Reference is the...

I would take a look at the DataHistorian.log file and see if that might have some idea as to what is happening. Also check the PC, make sure you hard drive space is still ok. Next I would try a reboot of the machine if you haven't already done so. Lastly would be a build and download of the...

BN, the triplog live should store 3 days worth of "Triplog_Live" files. The service will automatically delete the older files. There is no configuration available to change this that I am aware of. I use a batch file and visual basic code to copy these files to a different folder so I can...

This alarm is "typically" due to the fact that one core of your MKVI controller has failed or faulted. Typically one core R, S, or T, is the "designated" processor. This processor is the master of the three, it talks to TCI, HMI etc. If the processor is the "designated" processor, and it...

Ayed as Bob says this question would be best answered by the packager, or by your O+M manual, or lastly by studying your CSP. Typically fuel change-over is not allowed during startup, but obviously your unit is not "typical". Most units I have seen allow you to make a fuel selection...
