We are operating a GE LM6000PC with a 90/70 sequencer, MarkVI FC w/ a genious network and BOP consists of 90/30s and Genious. It transfers data with CEMS and the SCR through EGD.
Over the past few days my boss informed me that every time a start is initiated, our CEMS setpoints reverted back to the default setpoints and our SCR controller started acting erratically. After trying anything he could to fix the problem with no success he re-booted the Hirshmann switches. This seemed to correct the problem. These systems trade info via EGD. It seems everything that went beserk was due to a EGD problem.
Back 2-3 years ago we had a Control Engineer here that said we have excessive "packets crashing" and over time it will become an issue. He said that we needed approx. $100,000 to upgrade the system and make it reliable. Unfortunatly I pitched this to my superiors and they did not entertain it whatsoever. It seems to me this might be what is going on now. Does anyone know of an easy way to check this and confirm whether this is what is happeneing or it is something else?

P.S. Please forgive me in advance for my lack of knowledge in this field. The only time I get to learn is when something breaks and fortunately it does not happen to often.
