Dear Sirs

I am working in GE frame 9FA machines with DLN 2.6 configuration. Can any one help me understand the modes and operation of DLN 2.6

Thanks in advance

 

kp,

What is your function at the plant? Operator? Inside operator or outside operator? Instrumentation & Control Technician? Operations supervisor? Maintenance supervisor?

What kind of training have you received?

What information is made available to you at your site? Do you have access to the vendor-provided instruction manuals and documentation?

Does the site have training materials available to all personnel for the operation and maintenance of the equipment at the site?

Does the site have on-going training for plant personnel to improve operations and avoid unnecessary outages and failures when possible, and to improve efficiency and availability?

But, most importantly, what information have you been able to find on site and what information do you believe is available on site, to answer your question(s)?

Most sites with GE F-class machines seem to have SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) which are plant-specific and which should provide at least some information about expected operating modes and some information about unexpected operating characteristics.

If your site doesn't have SOPs available to everyone, or to you in your position/function, what is available to you in your position/function?

Have you looked at the vendor-provided documentation (Instruction- and Operation/Maintenance Manuals)? If so, have you not been able to find what you're looking for?

This topic has been covered before on control.com. There are people who have volunteered to send copies of GE documents to those who would supply their email addresses or who would write to a supplied email address.

Lastly, GE have graciously offered to operators of GE power generation equipment access to a site. http://site.ge-energy.com/online_tools/controls_connect.htm, called "Ge Controls Connect", where you can register (I believe you would need to supply a turbine serial number and some other plant identifying information) and obtain GE documentation, find FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions--and their answers), obtain email assistance with questions, and even phone assistance.

I would be very interested to hear from anyone who has availed themselves of this service, to learn their impression(s) of the site and the information and services provided.

So, I would suggest navigating to the URL provided above, registering as a user (I think there is a 24- or 48-hour waiting period), and then looking around the site to see if you can find some documentation or answers to your question(s) there.

And when you have done so, would you please write back and let us know your impression(s) of the site, the information available there, and any assistance you availed yourself of.

Thanks!

 

Thanks for your response sir.

I am working as Instrumentation technician in our plant with 2 GTs, I joined recently and all in plant training is completed I did not get the chance to attend the training. Ours is GE frame 9FA DLN 2.6+

thanks

 

Your response indicates you either haven't tried to access the documentation and materials on site, or you don't have access to the documentation and materials on site.

It also points out a very large problem at most plants around the world: the lack of an ongoing training program for new hires, persons promoted to new positions, and just a reinforcement of materials already covered, as well as new information that's been recently discovered.

Again, in the far right corner of the control.com menu bar at the top of every page is a well-hidden 'Search' field. It is strongly recommended you use the 'Help' function to create your search terms--plural--because you likely won't get lucky on your initial search and find exactly what you're looking for, so be prepared to form several search terms to search past threads (sometimes called the 'Archives') for information.

The GE-design heavy duty gas turbine controls community has been active and growing for nearly a decade here on control.com, and there are hundreds of threads which you might find useful and interesting.
