Participants attending the program will:

• Interpret the MARK V/VIE architecture and hardware description
• Control and protection System Principles for MARK V/VIE
• Sequencing, Rungs, logic blocks diagram, startup, speed control, temperature control
• Turbine protections (over temperature, exhaust spread, over speed, combustion monitoring)
• TCI software
• Configuring a Trip History Display
• Configuring an I processor and installing an Arcnet card.
• I/O Configurator
•  EEPROM Downloader
• Logic forcing
• Software overview and toolbox installation and backup
• Cimplicity software overview and screen editing
• Monitoring Software and Program Block Functions
• Define software variable
• Adding logic alarm, software point
• Replacing I/O Cards
• Modify logic software and add & remove I/O point
• Servo valves and LVDTs overview and theory of operation
• Trouble shooting servo valves and LVDTs
• Hydraulic Valves “SRV, IGV, GCVs” calibration procedures
• Gas Turbine start up and shutdown sequence
• Gas turbine protections and control

This seminar is designed for anyone who needs to sharpen their control system troubleshooting skills in order to increase efficiencies and uptime at their power station or gas station. If you work with gas turbine and GE control system at industrial plants, whether as general maintenance personnel, in cross-training programs, an electrician, or an engineer, you will find this course extremely useful. As long as you work with control system and troubleshoot problems, this course is for you.

The program will be interactive and practical. There will be work in groups and pairs as well as individual exercises and everyone will get an opportunity to discuss their issues with control system and troubleshoot common faults and failure issues. Each day will end with time to produce an action plan for delegates continuing development.
