1-2. MARK V TURBINE CONTROL PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Turbine Control Systems have been produced for several decades and have enjoyed widespread acceptance in both new unit
and retrofit applications. The Mark V represents the latest in a line of microprocessor-based turbine control systems designed
specificaly for controlling turbines. The Mark V can be used on medium or large steam turbines, heavy duty gas turbines
(single or two shaft), and aircraft derivative gas turbines.
Unit control and protection is accomplished by using the Mark V in combination with sensors and devices mounted on the
unit and its auxiliaries. Unit reliability is improved by using redundant sensors and devices for feedback, control, and
protection of critical functions. Should one of the redundant devices fail, operation is not adversely affected. The connection
of redundant devices to the control panel and their regulation by the control software were considered to be crucial factors in
designing the Mark V. This fail-safe approach results in a highly reliable control and protection system for the turbine.
In its most common configuration, the Mark V further improves unit reliability by using three redundant control processors.
This triple modular redundant (TMR) design is capable of safely operating, controlling, and protecting a unit in the event of
the failure of one of its control processors or control processor components. The TMR design permits a single control
processor to be shutdown and repaired without shutting the turbine down.
Another attribute of the Mark V TMR control system is its use of software-implemented fault tolerance (SIFT) technology.
Each control processor in a TMR control panel makes its own determination of control and protection functions based on
separate inputs. The control processors individually vote the inputs used to make these determinations. Should one control
processor fail to read an input correctly, its erroneous value would be "out-voted."
The following example illustrates the manner in which SIFT voting is enacted by the control system: a logic signal (either a
logic " 0 " or a logic " 1 "), representing a digital input from a single pressure switch that senses lube oil pressure, is
communicated to each of the three redundant processors in a TMR control panel over individual I/O communication
1-2
Application Manual
GEH-6195F
networks (IONETs). Each processor accepts what it believes the value of the logic signal to be (the pre-voted value) then
communicates that value to the other two processors over a single data exchange communication network (DENET). Each
processor then performs a two-out-of-three "vote" of the digital input's logic signal value and uses the voted value in its
control and protection algorithms/sequencing. Therefore, a failure does not result in a turbine trip signal being generated by
that processor. (The condition described above is reported as a voting mismatch Diagnostic Alarm.)
The SIFT voting technique will tolerate multiple failures without initiating a turbine trip. For example, one control processor
might determine that a turbine trip should be initiated as the result of a low lube oil pressure switch input and a second
control processor might determine that the turbine should be tripped on a high exhaust temperature based on a faulty
thermocouple input. Without SIFT, the two control processors initiate a turbine trip generated by two different input devices.
However, using SIFT, the control processors use the voted values of the inputs and do not initiate a turbine trip.
Another feature, Control Lockout, places the primary operator interface into a view only mode (unless control capability is
turned on with the correct password.
1-2.1. Primary Operator Interface, 
The Mark V Turbine Control System's primary operator interface consists of an IBM-compatible personal computer
(PC), color CRT, keyboard, cursor positioning device (CPD), either touchscreen CRT and/or trackball or mouse, and a
printer. The is used to issue commands to start/stop the unit, load/unload the unit, manage and log alarms, and monitor
unit operation. With the exception of the Plant Load Control option, no control or protection of the unit is accomplished by
the . It is simply an operator's/technician's interface to the Mark V control panel(s) with which it communicates.
s are connected to a Mark V turbine control panel(s) with coaxial cable using ARCNET LAN (Local Area Network)
communication-style interface. This connection between s and Mark V control panels is called the Stage Link. In some
cases, the Stage Link may include fiber optic cables and repeaters in order to accommodate long distances between the 
computer(s) and the turbine control panel. Figure 1-1 shows an installation in which three s are used to control two turbines and their driven devices.
An can also be used to configure or modify the control, protection, monitoring, and logging functions of the Mark V
Turbine Control System using programs supplied on the computer. The ability to modify or configure these Mark V
functions is password protected. Options available for the include color printers and laser printers.
The Mark V control system has powerful features for customizing control strategy for each site. For example, one can
interface with up to eight gas or steam turbines (or any combination thereof). In addition, more than one can be used
(each interfacing with up to eight turbines or a subset of the eight, if desired). A hierarchy of control can be programmed onsite when multiple s are used.

1-2.2. Backup Operator Interface Panel - <BOI>
The Mark V System also provides a secondary means of monitoring/controlling the turbine functions. This ancillary device
is known as the Backup Operator Interface or <BOI>. The <BOI> has its own communications link which is directly
connected to the three control processors <R>, <S>, and<T>.
An LCD panel with a keypad, this device is usually mounted on the control panel. It also can be used to start and stop the
unit, load or unload it, silence acknowledge alarms, reset process alarms, and monitor unit operation.
1-2.3. Control Panel Configurations
The Mark V control panel is supplied in one of two configurations: triple modular redundant (TMR) or single modular (Simplex). Refer to Figure 1-2.
New gas turbine units frequently use a TMR control panel, but may also be equipped with a Simplex control panel. Existing
gas turbine control system retrofit applications can be equipped with either a TMR or a Simplex control panel. New steam
turbine units can be equipped with either a TMR or Simplex control panel. Existing steam turbines can also be retrofitted
with either TMR or Simplex control panels.
Printed circuit cards and terminal boards in a Mark V control panel are contained in or are mounted on cores. Cores are
sheetmetal housings that can have stationary and movable printed circuit card holders called card carriers. The cores have a
maximum of five printed circuit cards mounted on the card carriers. In addition, up to four I/O terminal boards (printed
circuit cards with high-density terminal boards) can be mounted on a single core.

2-1. INTRODUCTION
This Chapter provides product specifications for the Mark V control panel. The panel construction meets NEMA type 1 and
utilizes natural convection cooling, circulating air via lower and upper vents. these vents are located in the forward facing
doors. Panel material consists of hot-rolled, low carbon, 12-gauge steel (.105") with one exception, the access plates use
thicker gauge (.187") steel.
The standard paint process takes into consideration current Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requirements. The Mark
V paint process employs a powder coating process which includes a multi stage pretreatment section, an environmentally
controlled structure for the coating booths, and a curing oven. The pretreatment section cleans, removes oxide scale,
provides corrosion protection, and promotes uniform adhesion of the powder coat. The pretreated metal parts are then
electrically grounded and passed through a cloud of negatively charged powder, completely covering the part with powder.
The parts then enter an oven to flow the powder and cure the finish. Three major benefits of Powder Coating are:
A very high transfer efficiency rate of 98% verses the more typical 40-60% usually obtained when
spraying liquid.
Powder coating reduces emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds.
Powder coating increases the quality and improves the appearance of the Mark V.
The Mark V panel has three basic physical configurations, Simplex, TMR and Large Steam TMR. The following table
summarizes the weights and dimensional information. Outline drawings for the Simplex and TMR are on the next two pages.
Because the large steam TMR panel is constructed from two standard TMR panels a separate outline drawing is not
provided.

2-2. LOCATION AND INSTALLATION

The panel is of NEMA Type 1 construction and must be located in an area where conditions meet the requirements as shown
in the table below. The preferred location would be in an equipment room adjacent to the control room or in the control room
itself. The panel must be mounted where the floor surface allows for attachment in one plane (ie. a flat, level and continuous
surface). The outline drawings on the previous pages depicts the panel secured at its base by four 0.625 x 4.00 inch studs
which is the recommended approach for floor attachment. The mounting hardware is provided by the customer. Lifting lugs
are provided and if used, the lifting cables must not exceed 45 from the vertical plane. Finally, the panel is equipped with a
door handle which can be padlocked for security.
Interconnecting cables can be brought into the panel from the top or the bottom via removable access plates. Convection
cooling of the panel requires that conduits be sealed to the access plates. Also, air passing through the conduit must be within
the acceptable temperature range, as shown in section 2-3. This applies to both top and bottom access plates.

Mark V panel can accept power from multiple power sources. Each power input source (example: the dc and two ac sources)
should be fed through its own external 30 Ampere 2 pole thermal magnetic circuit breaker before entering the Mark V panel.
It is a recommendation that the circuit breaker be near the equipment. The breaker ratings are 250 volts and 30 amperes with
a minimum withstand rating of 10,000 amperes. The breaker should be supplied in accordance with EN61010-1 section
6.12.3.1 and marked as CE. Power sources can be any combination of a 125 V dc source and/or up to two 120/240 V ac
sources. Each core within the panel has its own power supply card all of which operate from a common 125 V dc panel
distribution bus. For further detail on the panel's power distribution system refer to Appendix E.

2-7. EQUIPMENT GROUNDING

Within the Mark V panel, each controller is equipped with a single control common wire which connects to the panel control
common ground bar, abbreviated as C-comm. The control common ground (C-comm) bar along with the shield bars are
connected to the panel ground bar located at the bottom of the panel through the panel's steel structure. The panel ground bar
must be attached to earth or grid ground with a minimum #4 AWG copper cable. This connection is a panel ground for
safety and helps eliminate electrical noise.
WARNING
Although the panel itself is metal and grounded, it is an unacceptable practice to use it as a grounding point in
place of an earth or grid ground.

CHAPTER 3
CONFIGURATION FILES
3-1. INTRODUCTION
A Mark V Turbine Control System is customized for a particular application using "site specific" and "unit specific"
configuration files. An automated program produces ASCII files containing the configuration information that are then
placed on the hard disk of a primary operator interface computer, converted to hexadecimal format (if necessary), and
downloaded to the control and communication processors of a Mark V control panel. Site specific configuration files include
information regarding the printers available, the DCS communication links (see Chapters 10 and 11), the Stage Link
communications (see Chapter 9), and the displays for the 's. Unit specific configuration files include the Control
Sequence Program segment files, Table files, and the I/O Configuration Constant files. To maintain the flexibility of the
Mark V System, the files produced by the factory may be customized at any time, compiled, and downloaded to meet
changing requirements. This chapter first introduces the terminology, then describes these configuration files.
3-1.1. Control Signals
Each Mark V Control Processor, <R>, <S>, and <T>, and Communication Processor, <C> and <D>, has its own Control
Signal Database, or CDB. The Mark V uses the control signals in these databases for the control, protection and monitoring
of the turbine via the Control Sequence Program, or CSP. The interfaces to the Mark V, including the , <BOI>, and
remote devices via MODBUS (see Chapter 10) or GSM (see Chapter 11), can display the name, value and engineering units
of these same CDB signals.
Each CDB exists in RAM on the SDCC (Drive Control Card) in each Mark V Control and Communication processor. The
Control Signal Databases on each of the control processors are identical, though separate, and contain identical values for the
signals. There are other signal databases on the SDCC, as well as elsewhere in the Mark V on such cards as the TCQA and
TCEA. Functions separate, though related to, the Control Sequence Program use these other signal databases. The control
processors copy the required signal values from the other databases to the Control Signal Database. The signals not copied to
the CDB are not accessible to the Control Sequence Program or the Mark V Interfaces. The SDCC microprocessors execute
the Control Sequence Program using only the control signals and their values in the Control Signal Database on that SDCC
card.
The signals in the Control Signal Database are of interest as the CSP performs most of the control and protection of the
turbine unit. When reading the CSP, it is necessary to understand the nature of the control signals used in the sequencing.
When modifying the CSP, it is often necessary to create new signals in the Control Signal Database. The "creation" of new
signals is actually an "assigning" of names to spare signals at pre-existing memory locations in the SDCC RAM. The use of
names greatly simplifies writing the CSP by eliminating the tedious and cumbersome task of using the signal's memory
location.
There are two groups of control signals: Logics and Variables. These two groups can be divided into several signal types.
3-1.1.1. LOGIC - Any signal that can only have a value of zero (or "False") or one ("True"), is a logic signal. These signals
can be thought of as one bit numbers, though they may actually be at least two bits. The Logic Forcing Display can force
most logic signals, and thus the signal needs a second, or "Force", bit. The Interfaces are otherwise not able to write to logics,
unless they are Logic States or Push Buttons (see below). Aside from logic forcing, a logic signal gets it's value from the
CSP, a Mark V input, or from an embedded algorithm (see below). The five types of Logics are:
Local Logic - These logics are local to the respective processor, <C>, <D>, <R>, <S>, or <T>. 
(collective term for <C> and/or <D>) Control Sequencing writes to the local signals, and each 
then communicates it's values to the <Q> (collective term for <R>, <S>, and/or <T>) processors. The 
3-1
GEH-6195F
Application Manual
Control Sequencing does not write to <Q> local signals, nor does the <Q> Control Sequencing write to the
 local signals. <Q> Control Sequencing writes to <Q> local signals, and <Q> communicates their
values to the processors. If a <Q> processor is re-initialized, then the local signals necessary to begin
processing are received from the other <Q> processors.
Private Logic - These logics are unique to the respective <Q> processors: their values are not voted by the
control processors. They can be used by the Control Sequence Program in the respective processor, and
each processor may have different values for the signals. Their use is normally limited to functions where a
non-voted value is required.
Fast Voted Logic - These logics are unique to <Q> processors. The signal values are voted on each frame
and are reserved for critical control and protection functions.
Logic States - These logics are "command signals" that can be written to by any one of the operator
interfaces. The operator interface sends a state value of one or zero to the Mark V. Once written to they are
maintained in the commanded state until another command is received by the processors to change the
state, or until the Control Sequence Program overwrites the commanded state. An example of this is where
the permissives are not met to allow the execution of a command, thus the "command signal" is overwritten
to reset it to an allowable state.
Push Buttons - These logics are also command signals but they are momentary, not maintained like the
Logic States. The operator interface sends a "frame sweeps" value, the number of frames (typically four) to
hold it at the commanded value where a frame is one execution cycle of the Mark V processor. For
example, an operator interface could have two different command targets on a screen for a Raise Load
command; one for four sweeps, one for twelve sweeps. If each sweep increased load 0.5%, the four sweep
command would increase load 2% while the twelve sweep command would raise load 6%.
3-1.1.2. VARIABLES - Signals that have values other than true or false are variables. These signals are typically sixteen (16)
bit registers in the Control Signal Database. The most significant bit is the sign bit, making the number positive or negative.
The sign bit and the fifteen remaining bits allow variable signals to have a range of positive or negative 32767. (For more
information on how math functions are performed in the Mark V, see Appendix C.) The scale type of the variable signal
determines it's range in engineering units. For example, a signal with a scale type of PCT has a range of +/-128.00 %. Analog
Setpoints or Control Constants are the only variables written to from the operator interfaces. The CSP, the Mark V inputs,
and the embedded functions write to the various variable signals. The five types of variables are:
3-2
Local Variable - Similar in function to Local Logics, these variables are local to the respective processor.
 Control Sequencing writes to the local signals, and each then communicates it's values to
the <Q> processors. The Control Sequencing does not write to <Q> local signals, nor does the <Q>
Control Sequencing write to the local signals. <Q> Control Sequencing writes to <Q> local signals,
and <Q> communicates their values to the processors. If a <Q> processor is re-initialized, the local
signals necessary to begin processing are received from voted value of the other <Q> processors.
Private Variable - Similar in function to Private Logics, these variables are unique to the respective <Q>
processors: their values are not voted by the control processors. They can be used by the Control Sequence
Program in the respective processor, and each processor may have different values for the signals. Their
use is normally limited to functions where a non-voted value is required.
Fast Voted Variable - These variables are unique to <Q> processors. The signal values are voted on each
frame and are reserved for critical control and protection functions.
Analog Setpoints - These variables are maintained command signals written to by the interfaces. Similar
in function to Logic States, the CSP may overwrite the analog setpoint signal's value.
Control Constants - Operating characteristics such as control curves, design criteria, alarm and trip levels
are determined by the values of the Control Constants used in the Control Sequence Program. Control
constants are loaded from EEPROM to RAM when the Mark V processor is initialized. There are two
methods to change the values in RAM. The first is through the Control Constant Adjust Display, which
changes the RAM values while the unit is on-line. A function on the Control Constant Adjust Display
updates the EEPROM values with all the RAM values when executed. The second method is through
editing the table file CONST_Q.SRC on the , table compiling, downloading to the Mark V processors,
and then re-initializing the processors to get the new values from EEPROM into RAM. (For more details,
see the following sections of this Chapter and Chapter 4 of the Maintenance Manual, GEH-5980.)
Application Manual
GEH-6195F
CAUTION
Control Constant values are specified by the turbine manufacturing facility and should not be
changed without the express written consent of the turbine manufacturer.
Combining the two types of Mark V processors, and <Q>, with the different types of signals results in the following

Table 3-1. Control Signal Abbreviations

 processors do not have any Private Logics, Fast-Voted Logics, Logic States, Push Buttons, Private Variables, FastVoted Variables, or Control Constants because they typically have limited sequencing (or none at all) and do not require
these types of control signals. If a processor requires any of these, such as a Control Constant, it reads <Q>'s control
signals.
The SDCC card's RAM and/or CDB stores the control signal values obtained from one of five sources, depending on the
type of signal:
CSP - the Control Sequence Program calculates values and stores the results in control signals. Control
signals written by the CSP include local logics, private logics, fast-voted logics, logic states, local
variables, private variables, fast-voted variables, and analog setpoints.
Mark V Input - The signal is structured or assigned to a Mark V input. The input terminations are read
by I/O cards, which in turn write values to the related control signal. As examples, the TCQA reads LVDT
inputs, the TCDA reads digital inputs, and the TCEA reads emergency overspeed inputs. Mark V Inputs
write to local logics and local variables.
Mark V Interfaces - The and the <BOI> issue commands to the Mark V by writing to command
signals in the Control Signal Database. The CSP then reads these signals and uses them in its calculations
accordingly. These command signals include the logic states, push buttons, and analog setpoints. The 
can change the value of most of the non-command logic signals, as well as the command logic state and
push button signals, with the Logic Forcing Display. The Control Constant Adjust Display on the 
changes the RAM values of control constants.

Application Manual
Embedded Mark V I/O Card Algorithms - The Mark V controls and protects the turbine through the
CSP. There are other algorithms embedded into the Mark V controller that use control signals for their
functions. Examples of these functions include detecting NOx injection out of limits, and an emergency
overspeed condition. These embedded algorithms are executed by many of the I/O cards, including the
SDCC, and they write to local logics and local variables in the Control Signal Database.
EEPROM on the SDCC's - Data downloaded from an to the Mark V remains intact in the EEPROM
when the Mark V is powered down. The Mark V copies this data into RAM when the Mark V processors
are initialized or powered up. A portion of this EEPROM data is the Control Constant values, and thus the
RAM Control Constants get their values when the processors are initialized. This way they use the same
data each time the processors are re-initialized.

Table 3-2. Summary of sources for signals for various CDB Types
Some logics and variables are "structured", meaning that their memory location within the Control Signal Database is tied
directly to some specific function. Naming and using a specific structured signal relates to a specific function. This was seen
above with the local logics and local variables that received their values from Mark V inputs. Structured signals include:
I/O - These structured signals read their values from Mark V inputs, such digital inputs, speed inputs,
temperature inputs, etc. They also write their values to Mark V outputs, such as digital outputs, milliAmp
outputs, servo valve position references, etc.
Voted Double Words - These structured signals are voted as 32-bit double words. They may be used in
Control Sequence Program functions where high accuracy and agreement between the processors is
required.
Alarms - These structured signals are tied to specific alarm drops. The state of a signal here gets reported
to the interfaces as a specific alarm drop.
Table 3-3 summarizes the differences between structured and unstructured software control signal assignments (sometimes
called "software points").

Table 3-3. Structured and Unstructured Signals

3-2. UNIT-SPECIFIC DIRECTORY
Each Mark V control panel assigned to communicate with an has a unit-specific directory and subdirectory on the hard
disk of the . These directories have names which refer to the unit. They are located on the F: drive. The unit-specific
directory for the first unit the communicates with is named F:\UNIT1; its subdirectory is F:\UNIT1\PROM.
Subsequent unit-specific directories and their subdirectories would be F:\UNIT2 and F:\UNIT2\PROM, F:\UNIT3
and F:\UNIT3\PROM, etc...
Configuration files contained in a unit-specific directory can be broken up into the following groups:
Assignment files
Data Dictionary files
I/O Configuration Constant files
Table Files
CSP segment files.
These five groups of files are detailed below.

The F:\CONFIG.DAT file, partially shown in Figure 3-1, is a text file that contains information about the units with which
the can communicate. The lines in this file that begin with a semi-colon ( ; ) are comments which do not affect operation
and are ignored by programs that use the file. The section of the file shown in the example defines the unit information
for the .
Information in the UNIT_DATA section denotes the unit(s) with which an can communicate. Each line in the section
represents a particular unit; that is, the unit number, the unit name, and the path to the unit's configuration information (its
unit-specific directory). This information is necessary to determine where the unit-specific files for a particular unit reside.
The cautions specified in the comment should be observed when making modifications to this section, and the must be
restarted in order for the changes to take effect.

3-3. UNIT-SPECIFIC ASSIGNMENT FILES

Assignment files, while not downloaded to a Mark V control panel's processors, contain unit-specific control signal database
pointnames and scale types for many of the control signals. The information in assignment files is used when creating the
primary unit Data Dictionary file, UNITDATA.DAT. This file contains all of the unit-specific control signal database
pointname information.
For each unit, GEDS provides the following four assignment files in the 's unit-specific directory: IO.ASG,
FACTORY.ASG, ALLOCSSP.ASG, and SITE.ASG. These are all American Standard Code for Information Interchange
(ASCII) text files (sometimes called DOS text files). They can be viewed or modified using any ASCII text editor.
When I/O devices are connected to a Mark V control panel, they must be assigned a control signal database pointname and a
scale type. I/O devices connected to a Mark V control panel are specified in the I/O assignment file, IO.ASG. In this file, a
control signal database pointname and a scale type are assigned to the location which is being used for a particular device.
A Mark V control panel's processors have multiple spare control signal database memory locations (points) which are
available for use (or assignment). To make use of these spare points for new or additional control and protection functions it
is necessary to define the type of point required, the control signal database pointname for the point, and the scale code for
the point. These definitions are made in one of the following assignment files: FACTORY.ASG, ALLOCSSP.ASG, or
SITE.ASG. The file in which the assignment is made depends on the type of signal required as well as on who is making the
assignment (that is, factory personnel or site personnel, customer or GEPG/Business Associate field personnel).
GEDS or GEPG's business associates assign control signal database pointnames and scale types to spare memory locations in
FACTORY.ASG. This file may be altered to accommodate customization of the Control Sequence Program for a particular
application. The only types of assignments not made in FACTORY.ASG are for additional I/O, spare double-word variables,
and spare alarm logic points.
Spare double-word variables and alarm logic points which are required for a particular application are assigned pointnames
and scale types in ALLOCSSP.ASG (which stands for ALLOCation of Structured Software Points). Both factory (GEDS
and GEPG Business Associates) and field/site personnel can make assignments for these two types of points in
ALLOCSSP.ASG.
Customer and/or GEPG/Business Associate field personnel are to make assignments of signal pointnames and scale types to
spare control signal database memory locations in SITE.ASG for points other than I/O, double-word variables, and alarm
logic points.

Application Manual
3-4. UNIT-SPECIFIC DATA DICTIONARY FILES

Data Dictionary files contain information about unit-specific control signal database pointnames, alarm text messages (for
both process and diagnostic alarms), and display information for signal pointnames (type/units, messages, etc.).
The primary unit Data Dictionary file, UNITDATA.DAT, can be created on an in the unit-specific directory.
Assignment files and template files (see below and section 3-1.1.) are used in the creation of UNITDATA.DAT. Many
configuration programs on an require information from UNITDATA.DAT when modifying or compiling unit
configuration files for downloading.
Some control signal database pointnames are common to applications (steam turbines or gas turbines) and must reside in
memory at specific locations and must not be changed. These common, fixed pointnames are contained in template files. The
fixed control signal database pointnames, the I/O assignments, and spare memory locations being specified in the assignment
files must be included in the UNITDATA.DAT file. If any new assignments are made, they must be included in a new
UNITDATA.DAT file.
UNITDATA.DAT is created by the program DDLOCATE. This program uses the assignment files which are specified at the
time DDLOCATE is executed in addition to three template files in the unit-specific PROM sub-directory: UNITDATA.TPL,
UNITFREE.TPL, and UNITMAP.TPL. Information from both the assignment files and the .TPL files (TPL stands for
"template") in the PROM sub-directory are used to create the unit-specific UNITDATA.DAT file. The command-line format
for executing DDLOCATE is:
DDLOCATE IO.ASG FACTORY.ASG ALLOCSSP.ASG SITE.ASG
Although their order is unimportant, all assignment files for a particular unit must be specified on the command line each
time DDLOCATE is executed. If a modification is made to ALLOCSSP.ASG only (such as to use a spare alarm logic point),
all the assignment files must be specified on the command line when DDLOCATE is executed. Each time DDLOCATE is
executed, a new UNITDATA.DAT file is created; all the assignments must be included in this new file. For more details see
the MK5MAKE.BAT file description in Chapter 4 of the Maintenance Manual, GEH-5980.
Other Data Dictionary files that must be present in the unit-specific directory for proper operation include:
ALARM.DAT
Process and Diagnostic Alarm messages (Max-case)
ENUMDATA.DAT
Display messages for Enumerated Data types
SCLEDATA.DAT
Scale code information (English, Metric, etc.)
The following unit-specific Data Dictionary files are optional and not required for proper operation of an :
LONGNAME.DAT
CDB Pointname Descriptions
SYNONYM.DAT
Site-specific CDB Pointname Synonyms
Unit-specific Data Dictionary files are not downloaded to a Mark V control panel's processors, but are loaded into the 's
RAM each time the is turned on or reset. This information is used to scale and display control signal database pointname
information on the as well as for alarm and event logging. As discussed above, some programs on the require
information from UNITDATA.DAT.

Application Manual
GEH-6195F
3-5. UNIT-SPECIFIC I/O CONFIGURATION CONSTANTS

I/O Configuration Constants are used to scale or condition signals to and from I/O devices connected to the Mark V control
panel. I/O devices include pressure transducers, temperature switches, electro-hydraulic servo-valves, position transducers or
reactors, thermocouples, RTDs, etc.. Many of these I/O devices, being of the same type, can have differing outputs or require
dissimilar inputs. For example, thermocouples produce a millivoltage proportional to temperature, however, a Type K
thermocouple produces a different millivoltage than a Type T for the same temperature. An I/O Configuration Constant can
be used to appropriately scale the input signals from various types of thermocouples. Milliamp transducers come in several
output ranges: 4-20 mA, 0-1 mA, 0-10 mA, etc.. More than one type of milliamp transducer may be used on a unit or its
auxiliaries. I/O Configuration Constants are used to scale the input for use in controlling, protecting, or monitoring the unit.
I/O Configuration Constants are initially contained in the I/O configuration files in the unit-specific directory. The files are:
IOCFG_Q.DAT, IOCFG_C.DAT, and IOCFG_D.DAT. All three files will be present in the unit-specific directory for
each Mark V control panel that is to communicate with the , even if the control panel does not include a <D> backup
communication processor. The information in these files is in hexadecimal format, and can be viewed using the I/O
Configurator program, IO_CFG, usually available from the Main Menu. The screens presented in the I/O Configurator
depend on the configuration data files found in the PROM directory for the unit (see Figure 3-2). PROM\IO_CFG.DAT
contains the list of files required for the I/O Configurator,such as TCCA_CFG.DAT. Figure 3-2 represents these files with
?????CFG.DAT. The I/O configuration files may be downloaded to a Mark V control panel's processor(s) without any
intermediate steps (such as compiling).

3-6. UNIT-SPECIFIC TABLE FILES

The majority of unit-specific configuration files are Table Files. These files contain tabular listings of control signal database
pointnames and information about their type, use, value, etc. Table Files contain information in an ASCII text format which,
when compiled and downloaded, is used by functions such as the Control Sequence Program and the loggers of the Mark V
control panel's processors. Figure 3-3 shows a list of Table Files and a brief description of their contents. Several of the
source Table Files are dummy files and contain no information. They have been created for symmetry and possible future
use.
Modifications can be made to any of the ASCII text Table Files (known as source files) using any ASCII text editor. Prior to
downloading the information in the source Table Files, it must be converted into hexadecimal format using the Table
Compiler program, TABLE_C. The command line format for executing the Table Compiler to compile all the Table Files is:
TABLE_C ALL
Using the Table Compiler, information in the source Table Files will be converted into hex format in files with the same
filename but with a .DAT filename extension. (For example, CONST_Q.SRC would be compiled into CONST_Q.DAT.)
3-9
GEH-6195F
Application Manual
The Table Compiler uses information contained in UNITDATA.DAT and one of the scale code files (ENGLISH.SCA, by
default) when converting the source files into hex files. Since no control signal database pointnames are downloaded to the
Mark V control panel processors, the Table Compiler finds the software signal pointname in UNITDATA.DAT, and uses its
memory location/address and scale code and point type when creating the downloadable Table Files from the information in
the source Table Files.

3-7. UNIT-SPECIFIC CSP SEGMENT FILES

A CSP segment is an ASCII text file which contains information such as Control Blocks, parameters, comments, and/or relay
ladder diagram sequencing. The Control Sequence Program for a unit is made up of at least two segments one for <Q>
and one for . CSP segments can be executed at different frequencies (such as 4, 8, 16, or 32 Hz, depending on the
application) and at different skews, or offsets. Segments are subsets of the CSP containing sequencing functions which are
related and/or must be executed at a certain frequency. There can be as many as eight CSP segments for and eight CSP
segments for <Q>.
CSP segments can be viewed and modified using the Control Sequence Editor program, MSE (usually available from the
Main Menu of an ). Refer to Chapter 5 for the Control Sequence Editor. In some cases, all of the unit's control and
protection (other than emergency overspeed trip and servo regulator loops) can be accomplished in one CSP segment in
<Q>. However, memory characteristics of an may require that the CSP be broken up into multiple segments in order to
be displayed by the Control Sequence Editor. CSP segment files can have any valid DOS filename (eight characters max) but
must have an .SRC filename extension.
Prior to downloading to a Mark V control panel's and <Q> processors, the CSP must be converted to hexadecimal
format using the Control Sequence Compiler, or CSP Compiler. The CSP Compiler uses information from UNITDATA.DAT,
BBL definition files in the unit-specific PROM subdirectory (PRIMITIV.DEF and BIGBLOCK.DEF), and the names of
CSP segment files which have been specified in a unit-specific control sequencing configuration file, MSTR_SEQ.CFG. The
CSP Compiler creates two hex format downloadable CSP files SEQ_B.DAT and SEQ_Q.DAT. The CSP Compiler can
be executed from the Main Menu of an or at the command line of the unit-specific directory with the COMP_SEQ
command.
MSTR_SEQ.CFG (a text file, refer to Figure 3-4) contains two sections which define the names of CSP segment files which
are compiled for <Q>'s CSP and 's CSP. In addition, it defines the rates and the offsets/skews as well as the order in
3-10
Application Manual
GEH-6195F
which CSP segments are compiled and executed. (The first segment file specified will be executed first, the second segment
file specified will be executed next, the third segment file specified will be executed next, and so on.)
CSP segments are initially created using BBLs (see Appendix C), relay ladder diagram rungs, and comment rungs. They are
customized by GEDS or its Business Associates to match a particular application or Customer's requirements and can be
modified in the field using the Control Sequence Editor. New CSP segments can be created using the Control Sequence
Editor. If a new segment is created, the name of a new segment must be added to MSTR_SEQ.CFG to be included in the
downloaded CSP files. The maximum of segments per <Q> and that can be compiled is eight.

3-8. COMPILING UNIT-SPECIFIC CONFIGURATION FILES

The unit-specific Table and CSP files must be converted to hexadecimal format prior to downloading to the processors in a
Mark V control panel. Figure 3-5 represents the creation of the primary unit-specific Data Dictionary file (UNITDATA.DAT)
and its use by the various programs in creating the unit-specific downloadable CSP and Table Files.
3-9. DOWNLOADING UNIT-SPECIFIC CONFIGURATION FILES
When the unit-specific ASCII text Table and CSP files are compiled to hexadecimal format, they along with the I/O
Configuration Constants can be downloaded to the processors in the Mark V control panel using the EEPROM Downloader
program. The EEPROM Downloader program, EEPROM, is usually available from the Main Menu of an . It can also be
executed from the DOS command line.
The EEPROM Downloader program will transfer unit configuration file information (sometimes known as EEPROM
partitions or sections) from the computer's hard disk to a EEPROM chip on the SDCC card of a processor. It will
transfer only the information requested to one processor at a time. The information can be one, several, or all, of the
downloadable unit-specific configuration files.
NOTE
There is a hardware jumper that must be in the correct position to allow the modification of
EEPROM values. See Appendix A.
If the EEPROM Downloader program was executed from the Main Menu of an , all the unit-specific information for the
<C> processor of unit T1 can be downloaded to the communication processor's EEPROM with the following command:
DOWN T1 C USER
For more information about the EEPROM Downloader, its uses, and its command-line syntax refer to GEH-5980,
Maintenance Manual, Chapter 4. A depiction of the downloading of unit-specific hex format configuration files is shown in
Figure 3-6. The downloading to <Q> occurs through <C> (or <D>, if so equipped and <C> is powered-down) via the
DENET. Do not reset <C> (or <D>) while downloading to <R>, <S>, or <T> until the download is complete.
3-10. CONTROL PANEL CONFIGURATION FILES
Once downloaded to the processor EEPROM, the configuration files must be transferred, or loaded, into the processor's
RAM for use in control, protection, monitoring, and logging functions. To transfer the configuration information from
processor EEPROM to RAM, the processor must be re-booted to start the initialization process. Resetting can be
accomplished in one of two ways, either by pressing the RESET button on the SDCC card of the processor or by shutting
down the processor and reapplying power. The first method is called a soft reset, the second, a hard reset.
Resetting the SDCC processor causes it to lose the current contents of its RAM on the SDCC, where the CSP, Control
Constants, and other related configuration information are stored for execution by the processor's 80186 and 80196 microand co-processors. Resetting a processor transfers some I/O Configuration Constants from EEPROM to RAM on the
individual I/O cards associated with the processor. For example, the I/O Configuration Constants for the TCDA cards
associated with the <R> control processor are transferred from <R>'s SDCC's EEPROM to RAM on the TCDA cards each
time <R> is reset or turned on.

Figure 3-6. Downloading Unit-specific Configuration Files
NOTE
I/O Configuration Constants for the protective processor cards <X>, <Y>, and <Z> are transferred
from the control processor EEPROM on the SDCC to RAM on the TCEA cards only when the
protective processors are reset by removing their power and then reapplying it as described above.
The above explanation demonstrates that the processors in the Mark V control panel use configuration information stored in
their RAM for control and protection of the unit. In order to change the RAM information, the configuration files on an 
must be modified and then compiled (if necessary). These files must then be downloaded to the appropriate processor(s) and
the processor(s) reset in order for the change to become effective. The one exception to this is the modification of Control
Constants.
3-11. CONTROL CONSTANTS
Control Constants which are used by a Mark V control panel processor (<Q> or <C>) during the execution of the CSP are
stored in RAM and were transferred there from EEPROM when the processor was last reset (or turned on). The values of
Control Constants in the processor's RAM can be changed using the Control Constant Adjust Display program, CCONST,
usually available from the Main Menu of an . Control Constants can be adjusted while the unit is running, although the
rate of change of the Control Constant's value is quite slow when the unit is running to prevent a rapid change from tripping
the turbine. For more information on the Control Constant Adjust Display, refer to GEH-5980, Maintenance Manual.
A feature of the Control Constants Adjust Display is the ability to modify the processor's EEPROM value for a Control
Constant whose value in RAM was changed. By clicking on the target EEPROM UPDATE and then clicking on the
3-14
Application Manual
GEH-6195F
EXECUTE COMMAND display target, the current RAM value of every Control Constant will be copied to the processor's
EEPROM.
However, there is no automatic method of updating the values of Control Constants in the configuration file
CONST_Q.SRC. If a Control Constant in a Mark V control panel is modified using the Control Constant Adjust Display and
the value of the Control Constant in CONST_Q.SRC is not subsequently changed to match the unit's value, a re-compiling
and downloading of Control Constants will cause the EEPROM value of the Control Constant to revert to the old value in
CONST_Q.SRC.
NOTE
Whenever a Control Constant is modified using the Control Constant Adjust Display, the Control
Constant source Table File, CONST_Q.SRC, should be edited to reflect the new value and compiled.
This will assure the Control Constant Table File hexadecimal file, CONST_Q.DAT, will contain the
new value and any subsequent downloads will be done with the correct value.
The other option is to use the EEPROM Downloader UP option to upload or bring the values from the SDCC's RAM to a
data file (.DAT) and reverse table compile using the Reverse Table Compiler program, REVX_TAB. The command line
format for executing the Reverse Table Compiler is REVX_TAB CONST.
NOTE
Reverse Table Compiling CONST_Q.DAT will overwrite the current CONST_Q.SRC file. All
comments except those in the header will be lost, and the Control Constants will be sorted by their
memory location. Aside from these differences, the new CONST_Q.SRC will be a valid file.

CHAPTER 4
DISPLAY APPLICATIONS
4-1. ANIMATED DISPLAYS INTRODUCTION
An animated display on an is a display containing graphic representations. It is created by running the animated screen
builder (ANIM.EXE) with an item list file. Animated displays get their name from the fact that items of the display can be
made to change color based on logic signals. Certain graphic items, such as bargraphs, are dynamic and can change with
each update of the display's information. The item list file, which is read by the animated screen builder, is an ASCII text file
containing commands and information about items to be shown on an display. Graphic items, including vertical
bargraphs, command targets, text information, and so on, can be put in an animated display.
4-2. ANIMATED DISPLAY BASICS
Displays are called by name. When searching for the display definition file, the ANIM program looks for the file:
F:\RUNTIME\display.A0
then
F:\RUNTIME\display.Au
and then
F:\UNITn\display.A
where u in .Au represents the unit number and UNITn represents the unit configuration directory defined for that unit.
This allows for the cloning of units by copying all files in the unit configuration directory. Customers should make any
changes in the F:RUNTIME directory and leave the version in F:\UNITn as the "as shipped" version.
4-2.1. The Animated Display Area
The animated screen builder is used to create displays in the area of an display (above the Alarm Window and Display
Targets at the bottom of the screen). The display area can be thought of as an x-y grid with the 0,0 coordinates at the lower
left-hand corner of the display. This area includes the section at the top of the screen where the date/time and unit number
fields are displayed. The grid is 1000 x 1000 units, 0-999 units in the x direction and 0-999 units in the y direction. The grid
is independent of video resolution. Positive x and y directions are from left to right and from bottom to top starting in the
lower left-hand side of the screen (above the alarm window), respectively.
4-2.1.1. Display Switching. The following targets are used to move between the different displays.
Page Down/Page Up are used to move to the next or previous page of a multi-page display. These targets are visible only if
the current display definition includes a PGDN or PGUP item.
Prev Page returns to the previous display. Repeated strikes of this target toggles you between two displays (it is not a queue
with a depth of previous screens).
Hot Spots allow the user to switch to different animated displays and return to the current display without exiting to the
Main Menu (see section 4-3 of this manual). There can be up to 128 hot spots defined on a display.
4-1
GEH-6195F
Application Manual
4-2.1.2. Cursor Locators. The following functions show the position of the cursor on the screen, making it easier to place
new items at the proper location.
ALT D
Display Cursor Location toggles the option to show the current cursor position on the line above the time.
The position is dynamic and updates continuously. Selecting ALT D again turns off the display.
ALT F
Find Cursor shows the location of the cursor on the line above the time. This position is static and changes
only when ALT F is selected.
It is beneficial to use ALT F to show the location of one corner of a region and use ALT D to see the other corner of the
region. This gives the two corner points for the region, which is useful for defining item commands (see section 4-8 of this
manual). The ALT D location, which is updated continuously, is redrawn after the screen is erased and redrawn. The ALT
F location updates only when the ALT F key is selected (redrawing the screen erases the value).
4-2.2. Defining Items In Item List Files
Items that appear in an animated display are defined by commands in an item list file (anim list_file). The commands
follow a basic pattern:
Starting where?
start_x start_y
Item?
item_command
What color(s)?
fore_color
back_color
The entries of an item command must be separated from each other by at least one space (the use of spaces or tabs between
entries is encouraged to make the item list files easier to read). The underscore characters in the example item command
above are place holders which are used to indicate that spaces in entries are not allowed except in text strings, in which case
the animated screen builder will display spaces as entered. Item commands can, and usually do, contain more entries than
those shown in the example above.
Each individual item, its required format, and its usage is explained in section 4-2.3, Item Commands. Example items are
used to explain some of the basics of defining items. When defining items and their colors in an item list file, the case is
unimportant. However, case sensitivity is important when specifying text in quoted strings.
4-2.3. Item Command Starting Coordinates
Each item in an animated display must be defined in terms of its starting coordinates. Coordinates for the starting point of an
item can be expressed in either absolute or relative units. For example, when used in an item list file, the two item
commands below will cause the animated screen builder to horizontally display two pointnames (TNH,TNR) that is, their
respective values and engineering units in a double high font in the default foreground color.
hpt2
hpt2
150
+000
200
-040
df
df
tnh
tnr
The coordinates of the first item are expressed in absolute units that is, with respect to the lower left-hand corner of the
screen area above the Alarm Window. The coordinates of the second item are expressed in relative units with respect to the
starting-point coordinates of the previous item. The first item command will display the value and engineering units for
TNH (beginning 150 units from the left of the display and 200 units up from the Alarm Window). The second item command
will display the same information for TNR, also beginning 150 units from the left of the display but only 160 units up from
the Alarm Window (40 units below the starting y-coordinate of the previous item).
Adding a third item line similar to the one below will display a double-high text string in the default foreground color
beginning 350 units to the right of the previous line and at the same y-coordinate as the previous line:

lb
lr

Most items in an animated display have both static and dynamic portions, or fields. For example, an item defined in an item
list file using the hptn command has two static portions (the CDB signal pointname and the point's engineering units) and a
dynamic portion (the point's value); see Figure 4-2. The static field of an item is the portion which will not change based on
the value of the item's CDB point. The dynamic field of an item is the portion which will be updated based on the value of its
CDB point with each update of the animated display screen.

Application Manual

100.02
Static Fields
Figure 4-2. Static and Dynamic Fields Created with hpt2 Item Command
The colors of the dynamic portions of most items in an animated display must be specified in the item's command in terms of
foreground and background colors. The foreground color of an item is the color in which its dynamic portion will be
displayed; the background color is the color of the background of the dynamic portion of the item. When specifying colors
for items, the foreground color of an item is expressed first and its background color is expressed second using the following
notation:
fore_color.back_color
where the foreground and background colors are expressed using the two-character abbreviation from the list in section 42.4. and separated by a period (no spaces may be used). For example, if the color definition for an item were expressed as
bk.gr, the dynamic portion of the item is displayed in black on a green background. If no background color definition is
specified, the default background color will be used by the animated screen builder when displaying the item.
When defining a CDB signal pointname item in an item list file, the default foreground color for the pointname and its
engineering units (the static portions of the item) is light grey while its default background color is the default background.
The foreground and background colors of the dynamic portions of items in a display can be toggled based on the value of a
CDB logic signal pointname (see Logic Color Options, section 4-2.5). The default foreground and background colors of the
static portions of items in a display can also be defined using an item list file command (see cset description).
4-2.5. Logic Color Options
The foreground and background colors of the dynamic portions of display items can be made to toggle between two colors
based on the values of CDB logic signal points. Known as the logic color option, three variations of this selection are
available.
In the first option, a single logic point will toggle only the foreground color of the dynamic portion of an item by using the
following notation when specifying the item's color in its command line:
lpoint?tfcolor|ffcolor
where:
lpoint is the CDB logic signal pointname to be used to toggle colors,
tfcolor is the foreground color when the CDB logic signal point's value is a logic " 1 ", or true, and
ffcolor is the foreground color when the CDB logic signal point's value is a logic " 0 ", or false.
(The line between tfcolor and ffcolor is called the vertical bar. The vertical bar is usually the shifted function of the
backslash key on a computer keyboard.)
Using the above option, the background color of the dynamic portion of the item will be default background.
4-4
Application Manual
GEH-6195F
In the second option, shown below, a single logic point will toggle both the foreground and background colors of the
dynamic portion by using the following notation when specifying the item's color in its command line:
lpoint?tfcolor.tbcolor|ffcolor.fbcolor
where:
lpoint is the CDB logic signal pointname to be used to toggle colors,
tfcolor is the foreground color when the CDB logic signal point's value is a logic " 1 ", or true,
tbcolor is the background color when the CDB logic signal point's value is a logic " 1 ", or true,
ffcolor is the foreground color when the CDB logic signal point's value is a logic " 0 ", or false, and
fbcolor is the background color when the CDB logic signal point's value is a logic " 0 ", or false.
A third option allows four colors based on two logical signals. This four color option can be used anywhere the two color
options can be used. The notation is as follows:
lpoint1&lpoint2?color3|color2|color1|color0
where:
lpoint1 and lpoint2 are the CDB logic signal pointnames to be used to toggle colors,
color3 is the color when the CDB logic signal points' value are a logic " 1 " and " 1 ", or true and true,
color2 is the color when the CDB logic signal points' value are a logic " 1 " and " 0 ", or true and false,
color1 is the color when the CDB logic signal points' value are a logic " 0 " and " 1 ", or false and true, and
color0 is the color when the CDB logic signal points' value are a logic " 0 " and " 0 ", or false and false,
4-2.6. Font Sizes
Text string and CDB pointname values and engineering units can be displayed in single- or double-high fonts. The last digit
in such item commands will indicate the size of the font used in the display. In the examples above, a double-high font was
used (hpt2) in the command to display a CDB signal, its pointname, value, and engineering units in a double-high font.
Single-high fonts (hpt1) are used on most displays to show the sitename, date/time, unit number of the display, and so
on. Double-high fonts are used to display points, values, and engineering units in User-Defined Displays, the Alarm Display,
the Control Constants Adjust Display, and so on.
4-2.7. Specifying Multi-Unit CDB Pointnames
Animated displays on multi-unit s can have CDB points and command targets for all the units with which the is
capable of communicating. It must be understood that when points from other units are specified in a unit-specific or plant
control display that the animated screen builder does not identify them on the display as being associated with any particular
unit. Therefore, it is extremely important that CDB points and command targets for multiple units be identified. Text
strings and boxes can be useful tools for labeling and grouping CDB points. Try to use the same method of identifying points
or targets for units other than the currently selected one on all animated displays.
CAUTION
Identify any CDB points or command targets on an animated display for units other than the currently
selected unit. This is to ensure that the user is made aware of which unit the point or command target is
associated with.
4-5
GEH-6195F
Application Manual
To place a CDB point or command target from another unit on an animated display, use the following notation in the item
command when specifying the pointname:
UN:pointname
where:
UN is the two-character unit name of the unit control signal database the point is associated with,
: is the delimiter between the unit name and pointname (the colon must be used to separate them), and
pointname is the CDB pointname.
For example, to display the percent of unit #2's (unit name G2) high-pressure shaft speed in the default foreground color on
an animated display for unit #1 (the item list file will have an extension of .A1), the following item command would be
entered in the item list file:
hpt1
start_x
start_y
df
G2:tnh
The pointname TNH, its value, and engineering units will be shown on the animated display in the specified location and
color with no indication that the point is for unit #2. A text string should be added above, below, or to the side of the point to
identify it as being unit G2's point/value; or a box could be drawn around the point and a text string used to label the box's
contents as being from unit G2.
4-2.8. Animated Displays and the Synonym Feature
When specifying control signal database pointnames in item commands in an item list file, the CDB pointname must be
used; the animated screen builder will not recognize synonyms in an item command.
If the Synonym Feature is enabled (and it is enabled by default each time the is re-booted if a unit-specific
SYNONYM.DAT file exists with entries) the animated screen builder displays the CDB pointname's synonym. If the
Synonym Feature is disabled (from the Synonym Administration Display), the animated screen builder displays the CDB
pointname.
4-3. SAMPLE DISPLAY & SCRIPT FILE
An animated display like the one shown in Figure 4-3 is the result of running the animated screen builder with the item list
file shown in Figure 4-4. An analysis of the animated display in Figure 4-3 and its relationship to the item list file in Figure
4-4 will help to understand the flexibility and power of the animated screen builder.

Application Manual
GEH-6195F
Figure 4-3. Sample Animated Display

The display in Figure 4-3 depicts line drawings of a single-shaft, heavy duty gas turbine and generator, its starting means,
and the generator breaker. It also contains a Status Window, two bargraphs, some command targets and a Hot Spot Bar
which contains three hot spots at the top of the display. By clicking in one of the three Hot Spots, the user can quickly switch
to different animated displays and return to the display currently shown without first exiting to the Main Menu. There are
also two points and their values from Unit T2 (a second unit which can be controlled from the ) that are contained in the
box labelled UNIT T2.
In the item list file in Figure 4-4, lines not beginning with semicolons are commands to the animated screen builder program.
Lines beginning with a semicolon are comments and are ignored by the animated screen builder program; however, they can
be useful and informative for readers of the item list file. The first line without a semicolon instructs the animated screen
builder to place a line of single-high text (a text string) in the default foreground color beginning at x-coordinate 350 and ycoordinate 975. This is the display's title, ANIMATED Display. The animated screen builder will display text in the case in
which it was entered in the item list file including non-English characters/language. Comments can be added to lines in item
list files by leaving at least one space after the last entry of an item command, typing a semicolon, and then typing the
comment. The next item creates a hot spot for changing to the animated display file defined by
F:\RUNTIME\SAMPLE.A2 in the area of the sitename\unit number field at the top of the display.

Figure 4-4. - Item List File for Animated Display in Figure 4-3.
The next several lines create the Hot Spot Bar. A magenta-colored solid box is drawn (the solid box will highlight the hot
spots, which otherwise would not be visible to the user). The solid box is then surrounded with a border of light grey by
drawing a light grey box of the same dimensions beginning at the same coordinates. Next, the box is divided into three
sections by drawing two light grey lines an equal distance apart and the same length as the height of the solid box. The three
sections are then labeled and defined as hot spots areas that, when clicked on, will change the screen to the specified display.
The first hot spot (on the left), entitled Vibration Levels, instructs the animated screen builder program to change the screen
to the animated display defined by the item list file VIB.An. The second and third hot spots cause animated wheelspace and
exhaust temperatures displays to be depicted respectively.
The combustion turbine, its starting means and generator, and the unit's generator breaker were drawn using the item
commands, line, box, and sbox. Note how the starting coordinates of each component are expressed in absolute terms,
and the starting coordinates of any other items used to draw the rest of the component are defined in relative terms.
Style Tip. Using absolute coordinates for the origins of each component (or group of components) and relative coordinates
for any related instructions, the component (or group) can be moved anywhere in the animated display screen by
changing only the origin point coordinates. Such a change will not affect the positions of other unrelated items or
components. The ending coordinates of the line item commands used to draw the axial compressor and turbine diagonal
lines are adjusted by one or two units in order to prevent lines from extending past each other. The same is done for the
sboxes used to draw the unit's shafts.
Style Tip. To prevent items from extending past others or overlapping, adjust the origin or endpoints by adding or
subtracting one or two units as required to neaten the display. (The over-extension occurs because the size of the x and y
units of the grid are not equal; that is, the length of the horizontal axis is not equal to the height of the vertical axis while
both have the same number of units, 1000.)
The tx1 item commands labelling the Starting Means use a logic color option for specifying the color of the text. The
text strings will be displayed in one of two colors depending on the value of CDB logic signal L4DE. When L4DE is a
logic " 0 " the text will be displayed in the default foreground color. However, when L4DE is a logic " 1 ", the text will
be displayed in red. (L4DE is the logic signal which will be a logic " 1 " when the Starting Means is running.) In both
cases, the default background color will be used when displaying the text since a background color parameter was not
specified.

GEH-6195F
Application Manual
Style Tip. By displaying items in foreground and/or background colors controlled by the value of a CDB logic signal,
important information about the status of the item or unit operation can be quickly conveyed to the viewer. This logic
color option was used for the generator breaker. In this case, two line item commands were used to indicate generator
breaker status. The first line will be displayed in green when the CDB logic signal L52GX is a logic " 0 " and then
change to the default background color when L52GX is a logic " 1 ". The second line item command, at a slightly
lower position on the display (its starting y-coordinate is 30 units below the first line), will be displayed in the default
background color when L52GX is a logic " 0 ". The color of this item will change to red when L52GX is a logic " 1 ".
By using this scheme, the generator breaker status line will appear to move and change colors on the display as the
generator breaker is closed or opened. This illusion is created by using two lines which seem to disappear when their
colors change to default background.
Two vertical bargraphs, one for megawatts, the other for megavars, were added to the display and labeled. Below this
item are two pairs of immediate action-type command targets. One pair (below the megawatt bargraph) is used to
raise/lower the turbine speed reference/load while the other is used to raise/lower the generator exciter regulator
automatic voltage setpoint. A Status Window was created by drawing a light grey box and labeling it with green text in a
single-high font. Several CDB points and their values are placed inside the box (using relative starting coordinates). A
combination of different item commands are used to display most of the information without displaying the CDB signal
pointnames. Two arm/execute-type targets are added just above the Status Window to start and stop the unit. The targets
were drawn just one row high and 12 columns wide. Finally, a box was drawn to enclose two pointnames, their values,
and engineering units from unit T2 (megawatts and megavars). A text string was placed in the box to indicate that the
points were displaying information for unit T2. The logic color option is used to toggle the colors of the box, the text
string, and the points when unit T2s generator breaker was opened/closed for quick recognition of the power generating
status of unit T2. Multi-item components in the display defined by the item list file in Figure 4-4 were created using
absolute origin coordinates for the first item command. This item list file writing technique can be added to any
component easily without changing all the relative coordinates of any successive components. By using creative
techniques such as those employed for the Starting Means text strings and the generator breaker status line, unique and
informative animated displays can be created. In the next section, the individual item commands, their format, and their
usage will be explained.

4-4. RUNNING THE SCREEN BUILDER PROGRAM

The animated screen builder is an executable file (ANIM.EXE) in the G:\EXEC directory of an . When invoked with
the name of an animated display item list file, this program will produce an display on the screen containing graphic
items. The item list file contains item commands that are read and executed by the animated screen builder to produce an
animated display. Users of an who do not have the proper password authority are limited to viewing animated displays
that are accessible from the Main Menu or via hot spots on other animated displays.
Those users with access to Maintenance Password level (or above) can exit from the Main Menu and run the animated
screen builder from the DOS command line. Since G:\EXEC is in the path statement for an , the animated screen
builder can be invoked from any directory in the . The command line format for running the animated screen builder is:
anim list_file
where list_file is the name of the file only, not including the filename extension or path to the file of an animated
display item list file. The animated screen builder will search for the filename and produce the animated display defined by
the file's contents. For example, to invoke the animated display defined by the item list file F:\RUNTIME\UNIT.A1, the
following command would be typed in at the DOS prompt of any directory followed by pressing Enter (if unit 1 is the
currently selected directory when the Main Menu was exited):
anim unit
Item list files must have a filename extension of either .A or .An, where the lower-case n stands for the unit number
for which the display/file was created. For example, UNIT.A1 might be the name of a item list file containing unit-related
information for unit number 1. The item list files for animated displays should be stored in the F:\RUNTIME directory.
(This is the directory where the Main Menu and User-Defined Display definition files are stored along with other displayrelated files.) Item list files in the RUNTIME directory should have an .An filename extension. Item list files can also be
stored in the unit-specific directory, F:\UNITn, where n stands for the unit number which can be controlled by the .
However, item list files in the unit-specific directory must only have a filename extension of .A. The animated screen
builder will ignore any item list file in the unit-specific directory with a unit number in the filename extension.
4-5. CREATING AN ANIMATED DISPLAY
To create a unit-specific animated display, access to the DOS command line must first be gained by enabling the current
status of Maintenance Password level (or above). Once at the DOS command line, type the following command to invoke the
animated screen builder:
anim list_file
and then press Enter. The list_file filename specified should be unique, descriptive, no more than eight characters
in length, and should not contain a filename extension as the animated screen builder will create an extension with the unit
number of the currently selected unit (that is, the unit which was selected when the Main Menu was exited). The
animated screen builder searches F:\RUNTIME for an item list file with the filename specified, and then search the unitspecific directories. If the file is not found, a blank, empty animated display will appear on the screen with the message
"Unable to locate list_file." Clicking on the MORE OPTIONS and EDIT FORM display targets in succession
invoke one of two possible ASCII text editors (QEdit or the MS-DOS Editor). The editor that is called will display an empty
file with the list_file filename specified. (The default directory for creating item list files using this method is
F:\RUNTIME; the default filename extension is .An , where the lower-case n is the number of the currently selected unit.)
Using the ASCII text editor, the item list file for an animated display can be written using animated display item commands.
Starting the screen builder and accessing the item list file in the above manner allows the user to quickly view the results of
writing or editing the item list file. This can be done by saving any changes and exiting the text editor. The animated screen
builder reads the item list file and immediately displays the effects of changes or additions. Further changes or additions can
4-11
GEH-6195F
Application Manual
be quickly made by clicking on the MORE OPTIONS and EDIT FORM display targets (in succession) to return to the text
editor and item list file. An animated display can be quickly created and refined using this method.
Multi-unit s can have a single animated display showing information for all the units controlled by the . Such a
display is sometimes called a plant control display. The item list file for a plant control display must be created from the DOS
command line using an ASCII text editor. It must reside in the F:\RUNTIME directory, have a unique filename (such as
PLANT), and have a filename extension of .A0 . Once the file has been created, it can be edited from the display itself by
clicking on the MORE OPTIONS and EDIT FORM display targets in succession. The Current Status of Maintenance
Password level, or above, must be enabled.
4-6. ADDING A DISPLAY TO THE MAIN MENU OR ANOTHER ANIMATED DISPLAY
After an animated display has been created, it can be added to the Main Menu of an by using an ASCII text editor and
adding the following line to an appropriate section of the Main Menu definition file F:\RUNTIME\MENU.DAT:
" Display Name"
"g:\exec\anim.exe"
"list_file"
where:
Display Name is the title of the animated display,
g:\exec\anim.exe is the path to and the name of the animated screen builder, and
list_file is the name of the file ONLY (do not include the path or filename extension) of the display.
4-7. EDITING AN EXISTING ANIMATED DISPLAY
Editing an existing animated display requires Maintenance Level Password privileges (or above). Those users with access to
the Maintenance password level or above (after enabling the Current Status of their password level), can select the desired
animated display, click on the MORE OPTIONS display target, and then click on the EDIT DISPLAY target. This will start
an ASCII text editor and load the item list file of the current display into the editor for viewing or modification. Saving the
changes and exiting the editor returns to the screen display where the results of the modifications can be seen. Care should be
taken to disable the password status when editing is complete.
NOTE
If there is insufficient RAM on the to load the MS-DOS Editor or the list_file, a message will be
briefly displayed. If this occurs, the user must exit the Main Menu to the DOS command line and edit the
list_file directly using the MS-DOS Editor, or run the animated screen builder.

line
This item command will create a line according to origin and endpoint location definitions. The color of this line may also be
defined. Lines can be drawn at any angle and can be of any length. Lines are drawn only in the foreground color specified (a
background color, if specified, will be ignored). The format for this item's command is:
line
start_x
start_y
fore_color
end_x
end_y
where:
line is the item command,
fore_color is the color in which the line will be drawn,
end_x is the ending x-coordinate, and
end_y is the ending y-coordinate.
The ending x- and y-coordinates can be specified in either absolute or relative terms (relative in this case meaning to the
line origin) and define the line's length.
NOTE
If the item immediately following a line item command has relative starting coordinates, they are relative
to the starting coordinates of the line command, not its ending coordinates. The foreground logic color
option may be used when specifying the foreground color for this item.
4-8.11.
box
This item command will draw the outline of a box in the specified color between origin and endpoint location definitions.
The box can be rectangular or square but must be drawn in the specified foreground color. A background color, if specified,
will be ignored. It will be empty except for the background of any items it may surround. The box will be drawn along the xand y- axes. The format for this item's command is:
box
start_x
start_y
fore_color
end_x
end_y
where:
box is the item command,
fore_color will be the color of the box outline,
box's origin). The starting coordinates and the ending coordinates are at diagonally opposite corners of the item. Specifying
the ending coordinates in relative terms makes moving the box a simple matter of changing its origin coordinates only. The
foreground logic color option may be used when specifying the item's foreground color.

This item command will draw a solid or filled box of the specified color between origin and endpoint location definitions.
The solid box can be rectangular or square and is drawn in the specified foreground color only; a background color, if
specified, will be ignored. The solid box will be drawn along the x- and y- axes. The format for this item's command is:
sbox
start_x
start_y
fore_color
end_x
end_y
where:
sbox is the item command,
fore_color will be the color of the box,
box's origin). The starting coordinates and the ending coordinates are at diagonally opposite corners of the item. Specifying
the ending coordinates in relative terms makes moving the solid box a simple matter of changing its origin coordinates only.
The foreground logic color option may be used when specifying the item's foreground color.
Style Tip. Do not specify a solid box which extends higher than a y-coordinate of 950 units; it will overwrite the sitename
and unit number in the upper left corner of the display. Do not specify a solid box with a blue background; blue is the
background color of the Alarm Window.
4-8.13.
cir
This item command will draw a circle centered at the origin ending at the endpoint. The circle may be any size, but all the
points on the circle must be on the screen. The circle will be drawn in the specified foreground color. It will be empty except
for the background of any items it may surround. A background color (if specified) will be ignored. The format for this
item's command is:
cir
start_x
start_y
fore_color
end_x
where:
cir is the item command,
fore_color will be the color of the circle outline, and
end_x is the ending x-coordinate.
The endpoint x-coordinate can be given in absolute coordinates; however, it is easier and more common to specify it relative
to the circles origin. The foreground logic color option may be used when specifying the item's foreground color.

scir
This item command will draw a solid or filled circle of the specified color centered at the origin and passing through the
endpoint location. The solid circle will be drawn in the specified foreground color only; a background color, if specified, will
be ignored. The circle may be any size, but any points on the circle must also be on the screen. The format for this item's
command is:
scir
start_x
start_y
fore_color
end_x
where:
scir is the item command,
fore_color is the color of the box, and
end_x is the ending x-coordinate.
The ending x-coordinate can be specified in absolute terms. It is easier and more common, however, to specify the endpoint
relative to the circle's origin. Specifying the ending coordinates in relative terms makes moving the solid circle a simple
matter of changing its origin coordinates only. The foreground logic color option may be used when specifying the item's
foreground color.
Style Tip. Do not specify a solid circle which extends higher than a y-coordinate of 950 units; it will overwrite the sitename
and unit number in the upper left corner of the display. Do not specify a solid circle with a blue background; blue is the
background color of the Alarm Window.
4-8.15. cmd1
This item command will create a command target on a display. The command target can be defined as one of three types:
arm/execute, immediate action, or an analog setpoint. The command target will be displayed beginning at the specified xand y-coordinates and will contain the designated number of rows (height) and columns (width). Single-high font text strings
can be imbedded in the command target. As with command targets on User-Defined Displays, the text string can be made to
turn yellow based on the value of a specified CDB logic signal. The format of the item's command is:
cmd1 start_x start_y cols rows type pointname = value fdbk fdbk_sense "text_string"
where:
cmd1 is the item command,
cols is the width of the target (in columns),
rows is the height of the target (in single-high font rows),
type is the type of command target (see below),
pointname is the CDB signal pointname which is to be affected by the target,
= means to set the pointname equal to a value (there must be at least one space before and after the equal sign),
value is the number (in hexadecimal) to which the pointname is to be set equal to (a value must be specified for all
command targets),
fdbk is the CDB logic signal pointname that will be used to toggle the target's text string (a feedback must be specified,
even if it's not used),
fdbk_sense is the value of the feedback logic signal that will change the target's text string, and
"text_string" is the text to be placed in the target. The text string must be contained in double quotations.
1000 grid units in the horizontal direction is 80 columns wide. A command target can be as much as 80 columns wide. The
height of command targets is limited to three single-high font rows. Pointnames affected by command targets can be
command pushbutton types, logic state types, or enumerated point types.
4-20
Application Manual
GEH-6195F
Valid single-character entries for the command target type are:

" ? " for an arm/execute command target
" ! " for an immediate action command target
" # " for an analog setpoint target
The equal sign " = " must be included in the item command and must have at least one space to either side. The type entry
depends on the kind of command target being created. Command pushbutton CDB points (the pointname usually ends in
_CPB) can have a hexadecimal value between 00 and FF. The hexadecimal value for all units running at 16 Hz is the number
of sixteenths (1/16) of a second that the command pushbutton logic signal will be held at a logic " 1 ". For unit control
systems running at 32 Hz, the units of the value entrered is 1/32 of a second. Logic state CDB points (the points usually end
in _CMD) can have a value of zero or one. Enumerated command CDB points can have the appropriate decimal value
specified (usually a number between zero and seven). Analog setpoint command targets have their values specified from the
animated display after they are armed, just as on User-Defined Displays. To define an analog setpoint command target in the
item command, use the equal sign followed by the letter " X " for the value entry (the " X " is just a placeholder in the item
command). Command targets on an animated display do not require the use of a feedback signal to toggle the target's text
string. However, if one is not used, the word " none " must be specified in the item's command. The feedback sense can be
either a zero or a one. When a feedback sense is specified, the target's text string(s) will toggle to yellow when the logic
point's value is equal to the feedback sense specified. The command target's text string(s) will toggle to black when the
feedback signal's logic state is not equal to the feedback sense specified. A feedback sense must be specified even if it's "
none " (although its value is irrelevant) in order for the item command to function correctly when being read by the
animated screen builder. The text string(s) to be displayed in the target (one text string per row of height) must be enclosed
in double quotation marks. Blank lines in a command target must be specified by an empty pair of double quotation marks. If
the bottom row of a command target contains no text string it is not necessary to specify it with a pair of empty double
quotation marks. The animated screen builder will display command target text strings in the case(s) specified in the item's
command.
Style Tip. Begin each command target text string with a space; without a leading space, the first character of the text string
will overlap the left border of the command target.
Style Tip. All targets should be labeled in upper case text.

Application Manual
hot
This item command will define a hot spot in a display. Clicking on the area defined by the hot spot will instruct the animated
screen builder to switch immediately to the specified animated display (switching animated displays usually requires exiting
to the Main Menu and clicking on an animated display selection). The format of the item's command is:
hot
start_x
start_y
end_x
end_y
list_file
where:
hot is the item command,
end_x is the ending x-coordinate,
end_y is the ending y-coordinate, and
list_file is the name of the file of the animated display to be switched to.
The ending x- and y-coordinates can be specified in either absolute or relative terms (relative, in this case, meaning to the hot
spot's origin). Specifying the coordinates in relative terms makes moving the hot spot easier by changing its origin
coordinates only. The list_file must be the name of the file ONLY (not including the path or filename extension) of an
existing animated display item list file. After clicking on a hot spot, to switch to another animated display, the viewer can
switch back to the previous one by clicking on the PREV PAGE display target. Animated displays can be nested, that is an
animated display accessed by clicking on a hot spot can have hot spots, and those animated displays can also have hot spots,
and so on. Clicking on PREV PAGE will "back up" one animated display. Use care not to overlap multiple hot spots on a
display. When clicking in an area of overlapping hot spots, the first hot spot to be defined will be selected. Also, do not
overlap hot spots and command targets; clicking in such an overlapping area will enable/execute the command target and the
hot spot will be ignored.
4-8.17.
vba
This item command is a part of a complex item (multiple lines are used to define the item) that is used to define a vertical
bargraph. Vertical bargraphs can be used to graphically display information about unit operation using either CDB logic or
variable signal points. The scaling of the bargraph's axes can be specified to within a range that will make it easier for the
user to comprehend (that is, improve the resolution). The bargraphs can be constructed so that the bars emanate from the top
or bottom of the graph. Also, using the logic color option, the bars in a bar graph can be made to change color to highlight
them to the user. To define a bargraph, a minimum of three item lines must be used to make up the item's command. The first
line, which starts with .vba, defines the position, color, size, options, scaling information, and divisions on the axes. The
second (and any that follow) line which begins with &bar, defines the CDB signal pointname whose value is to be graphed.
There can 64 CDB pointnames/bars on a single bargraph and the number of bargraphs that can be incorporated into a display
is restricted only by their size and available display area. The last line which begins with &end signifies the end of the item
command to the animated screen builder and must be included in the item's command. The format for this item command is:
4-22
Application Manual
GEH-6195F
.vba start_x start_y s_color end_x end_y options pointname raw_bottom raw_top ticks
&bar bar_color bar_pointname
.
.
.
&end
where:
.vba is the beginning of the item command for a vertical bargraph (the period must be included),
s_color is the static color of the bargraph's axes, labels, and ticks,
end_x is the ending x-coordinate for the bargraph,
end_y is the ending y-coordinate for the bargraph,
options is the list of options for the axes labels and/or bar emanation(s),
pointname is the CDB pointname whose scale type will be used for the axes scaling,
raw_bottom is the bargraph's lower limit (expressed in raw decimal counts of the pointname's scale type),
raw_top is the bargraph's upper limit (expressed in raw decimal counts of the pointname's scale type),
ticks is the number of "tick marks" (or divisions) the axes should have,
&bar is the command to the animated screen builder that tells it to place a bar on the previously defined bargraph (the
ampersand must be included),
bar_color is the color the bargraph will displayed in,
bar_pointname is the CDB signal pointname whose value is to be graphed,
&end is the command to the animated screen builder that the bargraph definition is complete (the ampersand must be
included).
The specified s_color will be the color of the vertical bargraph's left and right axes, its zero point (usually the bottom
axis), its engineering units, and tick marks (if specified). A background color may be used if desired. If used, the region will
be filled with the specified color. The end_x coordinate will define the horizontal length of the bargraph and the end_y
coordinate will define its height.
The following options can be specified which will define the bargraph's labeling and characteristics:
L
Left axis tick marks labeled
Right axis tick marks labeled
Neither axis tick marks labeled
Engineering Units name (from CDB pointname scale type) printed on labeled axis
Bars drawn up from bottom of graph (default)
Bars drawn down from top of graph

Table 4-1. Bargraph Options
The bargraphs in the item list file in Figure 4-4 each have the options LRU specified in the item's command. These options
tell the animated screen builder to display the bargraphs with both the left and right axes labeled and to use engineering units
on the labeled axis. The default direction in which bars are drawn is from the bottom of the graph. The pointname specified
instructs the animated screen builder to use the scale type from that CDB signal pointname (logic or variable) when
displaying and scaling the bargraph. All bars on the bargraph should have the same scale type as the one specified in the first
line of the item command. For example, if two bargraphs were defined using pointnames with varying scale types (for
example PRESS -- max CDB scale of 2048.0 psi, and HUMID -- max CDB scale of 0.2500 # water/# air), the individual
bars may not appear to be in proportion to each other. The raw_bottom value is the bargraph's lower limit expressed in
raw decimal counts. The value must be expressed in proportion to the max CDB scale counts of the bargraph's specified
pointname. The raw_top value is the bargraph's upper limit expressed in raw decimal counts. This value, too, must be
4-23
GEH-6195F
Application Manual
expressed in proportion to the max CDB scale counts of the bargraph's specified pointname. For example, the megawatt
bargraph in Figure 4-3 was defined in the item list file using the pointname, raw_bottom, raw_top and values as
follows:
pointname
dwatt
raw_bottom
0
raw_top
3210
The raw_bottom and raw_top values were calculated by determining the maximum CDB scale value in both
engineering units and raw counts for the scale type of the specified CDB signal pointname. This information can be
determined from the gain and offset of the scale type, found in SCLEDATA.DAT, for most of the CDB signal points.
DWATT has engineering units of MW; the scale type for MW units is MWATT, and the gain and offset for this scale type is 512
and 0 respectively. The minimum and positive maximum values of the signal can be determined from these two variables.
The positive maximum value is equal to the gain plus the offset and the minimum value is zero plus the offset. The maximim
and minimum values can then be related to the maximum and minimum raw count values, 32768 and zero respectively.
The megawatt bargraph in Figure 4-3 had its raw_bottom value set to zero, for zero megawatts. Its maximum value was
50 megawatts, set by the raw_top value 3210. The raw_top value was calculated using the ratio below:
50.0
raw _ top
=
512.0
32768
Solving for raw_top yields:
raw _ top =
50x32768
= 3200.0
512.0
Entering a raw_top value of 3200 would not show the top tick value of 50 MW. By adding a small additional number
of counts to the result (in this case ten) the overall scaling of the bargraph will be negligibly affected and the top tick
value of 50 will be displayed on the bargraph. (3210 counts corresponds to 50.156 MW.)
The megavar bargraph in Figure 4-3 was scaled using the pointname DVAR. The CDB signal DVAR has engineering units
of MVARS, and the minimum and maximum count values are zero and 32767, respectively (as can be seen from Figure 4-5).
The positive maximum scale CDB value for MVARS is 512.0 MVARS. The megavar bargraph had its minimum value set
to -40 MVARS and its maximum value set to 50 MVARS. The raw_top value for the megavar bargraph was specified
to be the same as that for the megawatt bargraph (3210) using the same ratios as above. The raw_bottom value was
calculated with the knowledge that a leading power factor (leading MVARS) is considered negative in the Mark V turbine
control system using the following formula:
-40
raw _ bottom
=
512.0
32768
4-24
Application Manual
GEH-6195F
Solving for raw_bottom yields:
raw _ bottom =
-40 x32768
= - 2560.0
512.0
A value of -10 counts was added to the result to enable the display of the minimum tick value produced the
raw_bottom value of -2570 for the megavar bargraph. The ticks value in the item command's first line tells the
animated screen builder how many ticks (divisions) to scale the axes with. The animated screen builder will automatically
calculate and scale the bargraph using the specified number of ticks and the raw_bottom and raw_top values.
Attempts to use a large number of ticks will cause the animated screen builder to place them one on top of another,
making them difficult or impossible to read.
4-8.17.1. &bar The second line (and others that follow) in a vertical bargraph item command tells the animated screen
builder which CDB signal pointname values to plot on the bargraph. Each line that defines a bar must begin with &bar (the
ampersand must be included). The bar will be displayed in the bar_color color specified. The logic color option may be
used to toggle the color of a bar based on the value of a specified CDB logic signal pointname. The last entry on an &bar
line, bar_pointname, tells the animated screen builder which CDB signal pointname value to plot.
4-8.17.2.
&end
To end the definition of a vertical bargraph, the &end command must be used. The ampersand must be
included.
4-8.18.
.xya
The .xya option is a multi-item command that permits dynamic x - y plotting of plant conditions. Changes in real-time data
received from the unit correspond to movement of a cross-hair relative to an x, y bounding box axis. A type of window, the
bounding box defines the area in which the cross-hair will be visible. The scaling of the axis borders of this box is defined
within the item list file. Besides being scaled, the sides of the bounding box can be labeled and set off by tick marks in such a
way as to accommodate any plant variable. If the tick marks defined for the box include the plot's origin point (0, 0), the x-y
axes will automatically be drawn within the box when the display is called (this presumes that the x-y axes has been selected
to be included in the display (see axis_options). In addition to the cross-hair, static lines or curves can be defined for
the display to provide a visual reference for items such as valid operating parameters.
In circumstances where allowable operating parameters are contingent on a plant variable, a family of curves or lines can be
defined which, though not actually depicted, will be used to perform an interpolation calculation. The result of this operation
will then be displayed as a dynamic line or curve.
4-25
GEH-6195F
Application Manual
NOTE
Only one variable can be plotted per bounding box. Multiple plots within a single display will require an
equal number of bounding boxes.
The section of an item list file that defines an x-y plot must begin with the .xya command. This command informs the
screen builder program that subsequent instructions are for the purpose of creating an x-y plot display. Also occupying the
same command line are instructions that define the position, size, color, and options of the bounding box axes. The format of
this sequence is as follows:
.xya
start_x
start_y
s_color
end_x
end_y
axis_options
The x and y coordinates determine the size of the bounding box. The static color option determines the color of the bounding
box, the x-y axes (if present), and (if specified) the engineering unit designations and tick marks. The s_color item cannot
be defined by a logic point. Selections for Axis_options parameters include:
Left axis tick marks labeled
Right axis tick marks labeled
Top axis tick marks labeled
Bottom axis tick marks labeled
Neither axis will be labeled
Axis within plot box will be drawn
Engineering Units will be printed on labeled axis

Table 4-2. Axis Options
This options list is similar to the one defined for the bounding box of the .vba item (see Section 4-8.13 of this manual).
That is, the L, R, N, and U functions are available and may be implemented in the same manner. Supplemental options
include T, B, and A . The first two additional selections permit the x-y axes of the bounding box to be set off by tick
marks. The third selection of this group, A, instructs the program to overlay the x-y axes within the borders of the bounding
box. The axes will be drawn relative to the scaling and tick marks assigned to the axes of the bounding box (the x-y axes
may therefore be depicted in whole, or in part, or not at all). Figure 4-6 is a sample of a reactive capability curve display. It
incorporates and illustrates the effects of implementing all of the options listed above (with the exception of the N option).
Both the x and y axis (top and bottom) have been scaled and labeled. The x axis measures Megawatts while the y measures
Megavars. Since, in this instance, the scaling definition encompassed the axis origin (0, 0), the x-y axes are also shown.

&sx The &sx and &sy commands work in conjunction with the axis_options in that they permit
customization of the scaling for the x-y axes. Line or curve definitions (&_items) that follow these instructions in the item
list file will be scaled according to the values supplied on the &sx and &sy command lines. The format of these item
commands is:
4-8.18.1.
&sx
&sy
count_min
count_min
count_max
count_max
real_min real_max
real_min real_max
The count_min and count_max, and real_min and real_max values, respectively, define delimiters for raw
(machine) count and engineering unit (for example Megawatts) scalings (see SCELDATA.DAT for CDB pointname scaling
information). These two sets of values also define the scaling relationship between the two units of measure. If no &sx or
&sy definitions are inserted in the .xya item, all units will be scaled in raw counts. As a general rule, only one set of &sx
and &sy scaling commands should be defined per .xya item.
&x, &y
These item commands define the CBD pointnames to be used in the x-y plot, the range of the scaled
units ascribed to each axis, and the number of tick marks with which each axis will be labeled. The format of these item
commands is as follows:
4-8.18.2.
&x pointname
&y pointname
x_left
x_right
y_bottom y_top
ticks
ticks
If a range is not specified for a particular axis, the screen builder will automatically establish an axis range of zero to one;
this fact will become obvious when the axis is set off by tick marks. In the sample display above, the CDB points DW
(driven watts) and DVAR (driven VARS) are defined for the x and y axes respectively; this fact is denoted by the axis
labelling (a consequence of implementing the U axis option). For the x axis (DW), the range is defined as
(-10 130). For the y axis (DVAR), the range is (-60 100). The two ranges determine whether the origin point (0, 0) or x
and/or y axes will be visible (again, assuming the A axis option is implemented). Also, they are responsible for specifying
the orientation of the origin point relative to the borders of the bounding box. For example, the &x and &y axis parameters
for Figure 4-6 stipulate that the x-y axis should be oriented (more or less) toward the bottom left corner of the bounding box:
&x dwatt -10
&y dvar -60

A bounding box whose axis_options include any or all of the L, R, T, or B parameters will have one or more of its
borders incremented (set off by tick marks). The number of tick marks displayed will reflect the value inserted as the ticks
parameter at the end of the &x and/or &y command lines. The distance between tick marks will automatically be calculated
by the screen builder program as a result of the scaling ( &sx, &sy) and range (&x, &y) of the particular axis.
Be careful in applying tick marks to a particular axis. If too many ticks are inserted, the tick mark labels may overlap and
become illegible.
&line
This command permits static lines to be drawn on the display. Typically, these lines serve as an
operating reference that can easily be recognized and compared to the current operating status. The current operating status
of the unit can be displayed in terms of a cross-hair or a dynamic line or curve. The format of this item is outlined below:
4-8.18.3.
&line s_color
x1 y1 x2
y2
The color definition of the line (s_color) must be static; it cannot be based on a logic variable. In addition, the endpoints
(x1, y1 and x2, y2) must lie within the range of the graph. If either of these points fall outside this range, the line will not
be drawn. The scaling of the endpoints of the line will be in raw counts unless a previous &sx, &sy item command line has
been specified. If the program encounters such a command, the endpoints of the line will be scaled accordingly.

GEH-6195F
Application Manual
&curve This item command permits static curves to be drawn on the display. Typically, these curves serve as
an operating reference that can easily be recognized and compared to the current operating status. The format of this
command is:
4-8.18.4.
&curve
s_color
x1
y1
x2
y2
x3
y3
The color definition of the curve (s_color) must be static; it cannot be based on a logic plant variable. Since the curve is
considered to be a portion of a circle, it is defined according to three plot coordinate points (x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3).
Like the endpoints of the &line item, the three points that define the curve must lie within the range of the graph; if any of
these points fall outside this range, the curve will not be drawn. The scaling of the three points that define the curve will be in
raw counts unless a previous &sx, &sy item command line has been specified; if such a command is specified, the points
of the curve will be scaled accordingly.
&iline The interpolated command item (&iline) defines a family of lines which, though not actually
depicted on the display, are used by the screen builder program to construct a dynamic line that reflects the plant's current
operating condition. The format of this command is:
4-8.18.5.
&iline
s_color pointname
count_min
&... value
x1 y1
x2 y2
&... value
x1 y1
x2 y2
&... value
x1 y1
x2 y2
count_max
real_min real_max
The color of the dynamic line is defined by the s_color parameter. The pointname specifier defines for the program,
the CDB point that is interrogated to form the interpolated line (only one point may be defined for a dynamic line). The
count_min, count_max, real_min, and real_max parameters are optional; when used, they provide the ability to
define the &iline item's interpolated CDB point in terms of engineering units instead of raw counts.
Following the &iline command line are a set of "&..." items. These define an interpolation value and the associated
endpoints for that value in the plot box. The values in the interpolation data lines must be in ascending order. This is required
for the interpolation calculation. If the current plant state is not inside the list of interpolation values, the line shown in the
plot box will be extrapolated from the closest two values.
Style Tip. As standard practice, static and dynamic lines should be given distinct color definitions; this helps to avoid
confusion in differentiating between the two line types.
&icurve The interpolated curve item command defines a family of curves which, though not actually depicted
on the display are used by the screen builder program to construct a dynamic curve that reflects the plant's current operating
condition. The format of this item command is as follows:
4-8.18.6.
&icurve
&... t1
&... t2
&... t3
s_color pointname
x1 y1
x2 y2
x1 y1
x2 y2
x1 y1
x2 y2
count_min
x3 y3
x3 y3
x3 y3
count_max
real_min real_max
Implementation of the &icurve item is similar to that of the &iline command. A static color definition (s_color) is
specified for the dynamic curve as are minimum and maximum scaling parameters (count_min, count_max,
real_min, real_max) (optional). The pointname specifier defines for the program, the CDB point that is interrogated
to form the interpolated line (only one point may be defined for a dynamic line).
Following the &icurve command line are a set of &... items. These define an interpolation value and the associated x,y
coordinates for that values curve. The values in the interpolation data lines must be in ascending order. This is required for
the interpolation calculation. If the current plant state is not inside the list of interpolation values, the curve shown in the plot
4-30
Application Manual
GEH-6195F
box will be extrapolated from the two closest values. The x,y coordinates used here for the RCC curves can be taken directly
from the x,y coordinates given in the &curve portion of the file.
When defining the points used to interpolate a family of curves, the midpoints should be defined as closely as possible to the
actual midpoint of the curve. This practice can prove to be beneficial if the current plant condition requires that the curve be
extrapolated; the lines will extrapolate best if the midpoints of each curve in the family of curves fall on a common line,
originating from the (0,0) point on the graph.
In some applications it is desirable to plot Megawatts on the vertical axis. To accomplish this, the data for the &x and &y
lines needs to be interchanged, as well as each pair of x,y coordinates for the &curve and the &icurve command items.
Finally, the text for the label of each axes must also be interchanged.
&dot The x-y plots show a cross hair at the current operating point. As plant conditions change, the cross hair
moves to show the new operating point. This command leaves a dot on the screen at each position that the cross hair was
drawn, effectively producing a dot trail. The cross hair is updated once per second, which means that the spacing between the
dots will give an indication of how fast the plant conditions are changing. The format of this command (which should be
added to the .xya item) is:
4-8.18.7.
&dot s_color
The color is optional and must be static if provided. If no color is provided, the dots will appear dark gray. The dot trail starts
when the display is started, and any action that erases and redraws the screen restarts the trail as well. A CONTROL/W,
which repaints the screen, also restarts the trail.
&end This command indicates the end of a multi-line item. It is not optional. The item list file in Figure 4-7
details the commands used to construct the reactive capability display in Figure 4-6.. It may prove useful in understanding
how such displays are created. This file should be considered an example only. It should not therefore be copied or used for
an actual application.
4-8.18.8.
4-8.19.
cset
This item list file command is used to change the foreground and background colors of the static portions of certain display
items. The format for this command is:
cset
where:
cset is the command,
fore_color is the new foreground color to be used, and
back_color is the new default background color to be used.
The background color does not have to be specified if the default background color is not going to be changed. Some display
items have static and dynamic fields. For example, items defined using the hptn command have two static fields (the CDB
pointname and its engineering units) and a dynamic field (the pointname's value). The cset command will change only the
foreground and background colors of the static portions of succeeding items in the item list file.
The following command in an item list file will cause the default foreground color of the static portions of all successive
items to be displayed in red:
cset
rd
The cset command can be used more than once in the item list file of an animated display.

Application Manual
Style Tip. Do not change the default background color if screen images will be printed on a dot-matrix or laser printer; the
chosen color may not print correctly on a black-and-white printer.
4-8.20.
incl
This item list file command will instruct the animated screen builder to include another animated display into the current one.
The animated screen builder will read the specified item list file and display its contents on the current display in the default
foreground color. The format for this command is:
incl list_file
where:
incl is the command,
list_file is the name of the file ONLY of the animated display item list file to be included in the current display.
Style Tip. Objects drawn using groups of item commands can be used on more than one display by placing them in their
own item list file(s) and using the incl command. Using this method, objects will be the same on each display and
appear in the same location lending consistency to the displays. Typical uses would include target fields, unit layout
drawings, and so on.
4-8.21. pf
This command instructs the animated screen builder to replay a picture file. This is similar to incl, so do not get confused
between the two. The incl command includes another animated display, while pf uses only pictures. The format for this
command is:
pf
start_x
start_y
fore_color
filename
where:
pf is the command,
fore-color is the foreground to be displayed in, and
filename is the picture file to be displayed.
Most picture files include initial color sets and absolute screen coordinates, so the x and y coordinates and the color are of
little use. They are, however, necessary for this command, so do not leave them out.

pgdn
This command will cause the animated screen builder to include a PAGE DOWN display target at the bottom of the animated
display below the Alarm Window. When the user clicks on the display target, the animated screen builder will switch to the
specified animated display. The format for this command is:
pgdn
list_file
where:
pgdn is the command and
list_file is the name of the file of the animated display item list file to be switched to.
The filename specified in the command must not include the filename extension nor the path to the file.
4-8.23.
pgup
Style Tip. The pgdn command is another method of nesting animated displays.
This command will cause the animated screen builder to include a PAGE UP display target at the bottom of the animated
display below the Alarm Window. When the user clicks on the display target, the animated screen builder will switch to the
specified animated display. The format for this command is:
pgup
list_file
where:
pgup is the command,
list_file is the name of the file of the animated display item list file to be switched to.
The filename specified in the command must not include the filename extension nor the path to the file.
Style Tip. The pgup command is another method of nesting animated displays.
4-8.24. Multi-Unit Animated Displays
On sites with multiple units, an animated display is capable of displaying CDB pointnames, their values and engineering
units for units other than the currently selected unit. Command targets for units other than the currently selected unit can also
be shown on animated displays. It is very important to understand that the animated screen builder does not automatically
identify points or targets on a display for units other than the currently selected unit. It is the responsibility of the creator or
editor of the item list file to provide some indication of the association between multiple unit points or targets and their
respective units. The viewer or user of an animated display that has multi-unit points or targets must be made aware of the
fact that issued commands via the display may affect more than one unit.
4-33
GEH-6195F
Application Manual
CAUTION
Identify CDB points or command targets on an animated display for units other than the currently selected
unit. This ensures that the user is aware of which unit the point or command target is associated with.
On a multi-unit , two methods exist for changing the animated display to the next unit. The first involves exiting to the
Main Menu and clicking on the unit number field until the desired unit number is the currently selected unit. (From the Main
Menu, the currently selected unit can also be changed by pressing F9 until the desired unit number is the currently selected
unit.) The second entails adding a hot spot to the animated display in the area of the unit name/currently selected unit fields.
The hot spot should be located at coordinates (000, 950); its should be 200 units wide (x) and 50 units tall (y). Clicking on
this target will execute a call to the item list file that has been defined for the hot spot. This call can execute the retrieval of
any valid unit list file if the appropriate unit identifier is specified. This identifier is a two-character unit name followed by a
colon " : " (for example T2:sample would be used to change to the sample.a2 item list file for unit T2).
Style Tip. Use the multi-unit animated display feature to change to animated displays which are similar in appearance
and function to the one being changed from. For example, a Unit Control animated display for each unit on a multi-unit
 could be created by copying the original file (for example, UNIT.A1) to files with the same name and the proper
unit-specific extension (such as UNIT.A2 and UNIT.A3 on an controlling three units). By adding a hot spot to each
display to change to the next unit in sequence (from unit T1 to unit T2, from unit T2 to unit T3, and from unit T3 to unit
T1 in the above example), the animated display will change units sequentially just like when changing units from the
Main Menu (or from User-Defined Displays).
4-8.25. Animated Display Style Guide
This section provides creators of animated displays with some ideas and tips to add consistency and continuity of style to
animated displays. It is grouped into the following sections:
General Tips and Hints

Color
Targets
Hot Spots
Display Titles
Coordinates
Multi-Unit Displays
Bargraphs
4-8.25.1. GENERAL TIPS AND HINTS. Be consistent with the use of colors, the placement of targets, hot spots, objects, and
so on. This will aid greatly in the recognition and familiarization of displays by users and will help convey information
quickly to the viewer. A general rule of thumb is that data points are displayed in the lower left quadrant of the display,
command targets in the lower right quadrant of the display, and graphics and/or bargraphs in the upper half of the display.
Advanced users can add relay ladder diagram sequencing to the CSP(s) of unit(s) (preferably in <C>'s CSP) to
create logic points that toggle based on time or some sequence of events. These logic points can be used to toggle
the foreground and/or background colors of display items, bars in bargraphs, and so on, to bring attention to
conditions, simulate motion, and so on. (This is not recommended for those with little or no CSP programming
experience or background.)
Do not place items too high in displays, particularly in the upper left- and right corners where they may overlap
and/or obscure the sitename & unit number.
Use comments generously in item list files; they will aid those creating and reading the file. Comment lines in an
item list file must begin with a semicolon and are ignored by the animated screen builder. Comments may be added
4-34
Application Manual
GEH-6195F
to the ends of lines by placing a space and a semicolon at the end of the item command or command. The animated
screen builder will ignore any text on an item command line after a semi-colon.
Do not let any objects, especially targets, touch the alarm window; they may accidentally SILENCE the alarm.
Test print each animated display if the is equipped with either a dot matrix or laser printer. Not all colors will
print as displayed or as specified in item list files.
Creators of animated display item list files who have a favorite ASCII text editor installed on the 's hard disk can
access that editor by creating a batch file in the C:\CUSTOM directory with the filename GEEDIT.BAT to run
their editor. A batch file of the same name exists in the G:\EXEC directory which will execute
C:\CUSTOM\GEEDIT.BAT if found when the EDIT DISPLAY target is clicked on from an animated display.
Examine the batch file G:\EXEC\GEEDIT.BAT for more information.
4-8.25.2. COLOR. Do not draw a solid box that fills the entire display in the color blue using the sbox command; it is the
same color used as the background of the Alarm Window. A blue background in an animated display will be
indistinguishable from the Alarm Window. Use the logic color options to toggle the colors of bargraphs, text strings, and
other items. For example, use the alarm or trip logic signals for temperatures or pressures to toggle bargraph colors to red to
alert the user to the condition. The logic color option can also be used to hide items by specifying the default background
color to hide the item; when the logic value changes, the item will appear on the animated display.
Do not use light red to display items; the animated screen builder uses light red to show that an undefined CDB signal
pointname has been specified. If using a dot matrix or laser printer, print all animated displays before adding them to the
Main Menu or including them in hot spots of other animated displays to ensure all important items of the display will print
correctly. Color on color text will not print on a black and white printer because color on color shows up as black on black.
Therefore, text should be a default background on any color, or any color on a default background. Any item specified to
display as white will not print (it will be printed in white); use default foreground when specifying colors to be displayed as
white so that they will print properly. Default background (black on the screen) prints as white on a dot matrix or laser
printer. Black prints as black. Also, do not use Light Cyan (LC); it prints as yellow on a color printer (HP Paintjet). Test all
displays by printing them to be sure the colors specified will print as desired.
Use the following colors cautiously in solid boxes and as background colors as they are used as the background colors of
command and display targets: green, red, light grey, and white. Additionally, cyan (light blue) and magenta (purple) are
used to show that targets have been armed and commands have been sent to the Mark V Control Panel, respectively. Also
remember that blue is used as the background color of the Alarm Window.
4-8.25.3. TARGETS. Use uppercase text for all command targets (that is the case used for command target text in UserDefined Displays). Use the same text for every usage of a particular command target in every animated display. For example,
a command target to increase the speed/load of a unit should always have the text RAISE SPEED/LOAD each time the
target is used. Do not use RAISE on one display and INCREASE or INC on another. Try to use the same text as on
similar targets on User-defined Displays to avoid confusion.
Use a space as the first character in each command target text string; without a leading space the first character of the text
string will overlap the left border of the target. Try to put command targets in a consistent location on each animated display,
such as the lower right quadrant or along the bottom of the available screen area (above the Alarm Window) or along the
right side of the display (similar to User-Defined Display command targets). Test ALL targets and their feedback signals to
be certain they work as desired before adding an animated display to the Main Menu or specifying one in a hot spot.
4-8.25.4. HOT SPOTS. Do not hide hot spots. The preferred method is a blue diamond or a magenta or blue solid box at the
location of a hot spot to show its presence. Whatever method is chosen, use it consistently on all displays which include hot
spots. (Remember, items can occupy the same area on animated displays.) Do not use green, red, light grey, or white as
backgrounds for hot spots as these colors are used as backgrounds for command and display targets.
4-35
GEH-6195F
Application Manual
Place hot spots in consistent locations on displays; for example, in a bar at the top of the displays, along the left side of the
displays, or along the bottom of the displays (above the Alarm Window). Do not overlap hot spots. The first hot spot
specified in the item list file will take precedence over any other that overlaps the same area.
4-8.25.5. DISPLAY TITLES. Display titles are defined as the text that is located at the top center portion of the animated
display. For the sake of consistency, certain rules should apply. First, use all capital letters in the title. Use the single high
font (the tx1 command item). The title's color should be the default foreground color and no background color should be
used.
The line of the title should be located on the Y coordinate 975. To center the title, calculate the X coordinate using the
following equation:
X = {500 - (6.25 * No_of_characters_in_title)}
The second line of the title should be used for spillovers for long titles and for the display page number as well. It should be
located at the Y coordinate 950 and its X coordinate should be calculated using the equation above.
4-8.25.6. COORDINATES. Group objects created with individual items (such as a turbine or compressor or combustion can)
by using absolute coordinates for the origin of the first item and relative coordinates for the origins of each successive related
item. In this manner, objects can easily be moved by changing only the first item's origin (the others will follow). Text
strings or points/values can easily be added to objects and will follow the object when moved if relative coordinates have
been used without affecting the positions of unrelated items or objects.
Use Piping Schematic Diagrams when creating animated displays for unit systems/functions such as Steam Injection, Fuel
Mixture, Dry Low NOx, Hydraulic Oil System, and so on.
Make sure all lines that are supposed to meet actually meet and do not extend past their intended stopping places.
Occasionally, it may be necessary to adjust the length of a line by one or two units to make it actually meet with another or
not extend past another. To improve readability of the item list file, specify all coordinates using 4 characters, one for the
relative delimiter (" + " or " - ") three for the digits of the value, even if the first characters are blanks or zeros (for example, "
000", or "+975").
Some s may have grid files in either the F:\RUNTIME or unit-specific directory which can be included into a display
using the incl command. These files will draw grids in a display which can be used to help in determining coordinates for
items. Place the incl command followed by the grid item list file name at or near the beginning of the item list file being
worked on. When they have served their purpose, they can be commented out of the item list file by placing a semicolon at
the beginning of the incl line (or the line can be deleted). By including one of the grid files described above as the only line
in a new item list file and printing the display, the user can have a blank grid to sketch items on and get some ideas about
placement, sizing, coordinates, and so on. If no grid files like the ones described above exist on an , they can be created.
The grid files described above are just item list files with a series of line item commands to draw lines on the display
horizontally and vertically at equally spaced intervals.

Lines of different colors can be specified at periodic intervals to help with recognizing grid unit multiples (for example, red
for increments of 10 units, cyan for increments of 50 units, and so on.)
4-8.25.7. MULTI-UNIT ANIMATED DISPLAYS. s which are capable of controlling multiple units can have a single
animated display showing information from all units. Such a display is sometimes called a plant control display. A plant
control display's item list file must reside in F:\RUNTIME and have a filename extension of ".A0". This file must be
created from the DOS command line using an ASCII text editor. CDB signal pointnames must be made unit-specific by
preceding them with the unit's two-character name and a colon. For example, percent of high-pressure turbine shaft speed
from unit T2 would be defined in an item command as T2:TNH. TNH would be displayed only as TNH, with no indication
of which unit's speed is being displayed.
Command targets will also not be displayed with any unit-specific identifier. For this reason, it is extremely important to
make it very clear which unit the points/targets are associated with. Do this by blocking areas of the display using boxes for
individual units and identifying them with text strings. Make absolutely certain it is very clear which unit is to be receiving
commands if command targets for multiple units appear on a single animated display.
Place a hot spot at x-coordinate 000 and y-coordinate 950 that is 200 units long in the x direction and 50 units high in the y
direction to change to the similar animated display for the next unit in sequence (for example from unit T1 to unit T2, from
unit T2 to unit T3, and from unit T3 to unit T1 on a three-unit multi-unit ). By going to the next unit in sequence, the
animated displays will function like the User-Defined Displays and the Main Menu when changing to the next unit by
clicking on the current selected unit field including the F9 hot key.
4-8.25.8. BARGRAPHS. Bargraphs can be used to display information in an easy-to-understand format. Draw lines on
bargraphs (using the line item command) to show levels of interest, such as various speed levels, or high wheelspace or
bearing drain temperatures, and so on. Do not mix bars (CDB signal points) with different scale types on a single bargraph.
Use points with identical scale types on the same bargraph, such as PCT, TC, PSI, and so on.
If a vertical bargraph is not specified to be wide enough, it will not automatically add tick marks (divisions) or engineering
units, if specified. In such cases where there is not enough room to widen the bargraph, it may be necessary to add text
strings and/or tick marks using item commands. If a vertical bargraph with a single bar is specified with the options " lru ",
it must be at least 225 units wide (in the x direction) in order for it to display the bar, labels and tick marks on both axes. Do
not specify too many tick marks on a bargraph. They will overlap each other and may at times seem to disappear.
If the point status of a bargraph is known, green should be used for the normal state, yellow for the alarm state, and red for
the trip state (using the four color logic option). When the point status of a bargraph is not known, then either light grey, light
blue, or cyan should be used to signify that, preferably using cyan. A sensor fault should be indicated by using white text on
a red background. Use a Page Down (pgdn command) or a hot spot to show data value, alarm level, and trip level if data
does not fit on the current display.

4-9. CONFIGURING THE BACKUP OPERATOR INTERFACE

The BOI_Q.SRC source file consists of a series of tables that define the <BOI> displays that can be configured (Menu,
All Points, Operator Demand, Normal). These tables or tabled "SECTIONS" are defined by header (DEMAND,
DISPLAY, POINT-TAG, ENUMDATA, SCALE) and footer (END DEMAND, END DISPLAY, END POINT, END
ENUM, END SCALE) command statements. These section commands are not case sensitive, however, each must begin in
the first column and occupy its own command line.
Although the ordering of sections in the source file is not consequential, the manner in which they are assembled is
significant. Changes to individual sections must conform to the original file format. Columns within sections may not be
reordered. Entries in each table cannot begin in the first column (this is how beginning and end SECTION commands are
recognized). Comment lines must begin with a semicolon. Normal display POINT_TAGs that are not used must be defined
by the character string BLANK_DSPLY. Finally, all columns must be separated by at least a single blank space.
NOTE
Each of the sections described below includes a generic example to facilitate understanding. The text
incorporated within these examples represents documentation that is inserted within each factory prepared
BOI_Q.SRC file.
4-9.1.
Demand Section
The DEMAND SECTION of the BOI_Q.SRC file can be used to configure the types of displays (Normal, Enumerated
Switch) that are presented on the <BOI> when the DEMAND display (Shift + Help) key is depressed. Also, this segment can
be configured to define the functionality of each display type. Building DEMAND displays from the <BOI> causes this
section of the (downloaded) BOI_Q.SRC file to be overwritten. Conversely, re-downloading the <BOI> source file causes
its DEMAND Section instructions to be re-initiated.
;-----------------------------------------------------------;

NOTE
Command lines that incorporate quotes ("DEMAND, PAGE 1 " ) will be read verbatim when the file is
executed. Case sensitivity thereby becomes consequential when quotes are used. Other than this exception,
case sensitivity does not affect the BOI_Q.SRC file.
Notice that other than the DEMAND and END DEMAND statements, there are only two command lines in this section. These
commands define the type of displays to be implemented (E, N), their names as they will appear on the <BOI> screen (""),
and their corresponding functions (by means of POINT_TAG and/or SIGNAL_TAG, MASK_TAG, ENUM_TAG,
COMMAND_TAG selection). For Normal displays, specific signals are retrieved according to pointers or POINT_TAGs and
their related signal names. These relationships (as well as the scaling of each signal) are established in the POINT_TAG
Section of the source file. As an example, a DEMAND Section that produces a turbine speed setpoint display would be
identical to the file above except for the following text which would replace the first command line:
N
"FSR MAN CTRL" FSRMAN_CMD
L43FSRS
FSR
FSR_CONTROL
The resulting <BOI> screen will display the POINT_TAG text strings and the integer or logic signal variables connected
with the specified POINT_TAGs (this assumes that all of the above POINT_TAGs are pointing to valid signal names,
which in turn, have valid scale codes assigned to them (see POINT_TAG Section). The quoted character string will appear
only in the menu of the help display. It will not actually be shown on the data display itself.
To depict and execute modes of operation, Enumerated Switch displays must include four definitions: SIGNAL_TAG,
MASK_TAG, ENUM_TAG, COMMAND_TAG. These definitions or pointers reference <BOI> signal names (SIGNAL_TAG,
COMMAND_TAG), permissive bit masks (MASK_TAG), and enumerated text strings (ENUM_TAG). The SIGNAL_TAG and
COMMAND_TAG signal definitions allow the <BOI> to compare the current state of a feedback signal (SIGNAL_TAG) with
the desired command signal (COMMAND_TAG). If the two do not agree, the command signal is sent to correct the mismatch.
To insure that only legitimate options are offered, a bit mask is applied to each Enumerated Switch Display. These options
are correlated to relevant display text strings by the ENUM_TAG value (see ENUM_TAG Section).

Similar in structure to the DEMAND Section, the DISPLAY Section of the source file also designates Display Types and
their function. It is however, the location for defining all of the user-defined (non-DEMAND) displays for the <BOI>. The
sequential order of this segment indexes the displays as they appear under the Menu Display and the function keys (F1 - F20)
that are used to implement them. If a display is added or removed from the DISPLAY Section list, the Menu Display is
similarly affected including the function key assignments for each display.
As every display is uniquely labelled with a quoted ("") function key designation, care should be taken to update these
appointments when a change in the order of the displays is made -- otherwise, Menu displays will appear with incorrect
function key labels. The maximum allowable number of displays for this section is thirty two (32).

Figure 4-10. Point Tag Section of BOI_Q.SRC File

Consisting of five columns, the POINT_TAG Section of the source file designates point definitions for each POINT_TAG.
These definitions link POINT_TAG variables to Mark V database signals (POINTNAME must be found in
UNITDATA.DAT), assign SCALE codes (Normal displays) or ENUM_TAGs (Enumerated Switch) to each signal point, and
appoint display text strings (DISPLAY) that denote accessed signals when they appear on the <BOI>. Comparable with the
DISPLAY Section of the source file, items within the POINT_TAG Section table must be identified as either Normal (N) or
Enumerated Switch (E) types. A Normal Display (as defined by the DISPLAY Section) that incorporates an Enumerated
Switch signal (POINTNAME) will only depict the signal's text string (DISPLAY); Normal display points may not be
introduced as part of an Enumerated Switch display.
Although the POINT_TAG table is limited to a maximum of 128 individual signal point entries, a degree of flexibility is
maintained in that multiple POINT_TAG's can be assigned to a single POINTNAME. As a duplicate of the POINT-TAG
Section, the ALL POINTS DISPLAY can be configured in the same manner. As noted in the source file instructions
above, BLANK_DSPLY must be the first point in the table. This constraint permits the use of this text string to define empty
POINT_TAGs in the DEMAND and DISPLAY Sections of the file.

Figure 4-12. Scale Data Section of BOI_Q.SRC File

The <BOI> uses the first 248 ( 0-247 ) scale codes of any of the *.sca files. The Mark V determines which scaling file to use
for the <BOI> via the control constant BOI_SCAL_SET in CONST_Q.SRC. Use one of the the following control constant
values to determine the scale code set.
0 Hardware scaling as defined in HARDWARE.SCA
1 English scaling as defined in ENGLISH.SCA
2 Metric scaling as defined in METRIC.SCA
3 Custom scaling as defined in CUSTOM.SCA
As a generic example, the samplein figure 4-12 illustrates the way in which the SCALE Section may be used to implement
user-programmable scale codes. Although only two codes are used here (248, 249), up to eight can be supported (248-255).
Each of these codes may have as many as four (0-3) different scale sets that define units of measure. Three of these sets are
pre-defined (Hardware/raw count, English, Metric) while one is user-definable (Custom). (This latter set allows practically
any unit of measure to be used). The GAIN values of this segment define the allowable range of each set. From the example,
ranges for Hardware (raw count), English, and Metric units of measure are defined as 0-16384, 0-20480, and 0-11380
respectively. In addition to a GAIN constant, each code SET must have SHIFT (negative values allowed), OFFSET
(negative values allowed), RESOL (resolution), DEC (decimal), and UNITS specifiers. Failure to include these definitions
will result in errors when the source file is compiled.

4-9.8. Compiling BOI_Q.SRC

Changes to the BOI_Q.SRC file may be implemented only after the file has been saved, compiled, and downloaded. Saving
the file can be accomplished with the text editor used to make changes to the file. Compiling the file requires the use of the
's table compiler. This can be accomplished from the UNITn directory by typing the DOS command TABLE_C BOI or
TABLE_C ALL. Downloading the compiled file to EEPROM can then be executed by the DOS command EEPROM DOWN
[UNIT], [CORE] (= R, S, T) BOI. The <BOI> can be configured to receive data from any one of the three cores
<R>, <S>, <T>. For this reason, it is important to download updated <BOI> source files to all three cores in TMR panels.

CHAPTER 5
EDITING THE CONTROL SEQUENCE PROGRAM
5-1. INTRODUCTION
The Control Sequence Editor (the editor) is an utility that allows fixed format graphics editing of Mark V control
sequencing software. The source files created by the editor are then compiled by the Control Sequence Compiler, and
downloaded to the control panel using the EEPROM download program.
The editor operates on a basic unit of software known as a segment. A Mark V Controller (<C> or <Q>) can have a
maximum of eight segments using up to 64K of controller memory. A single <Q> image is utilized in all three control
processors of a Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) panel. Each segment can be assigned a unique scan rate and execution
offset during the compilation process.
A segment is made up of a series of sequentially executed rungs. A rung is the basic unit that the editor operates upon.
Before discussing the details of editing a rung, the user should be familiar with the four different types of rungs that the
editor allows, as the basic editing operations on the four types of rungs are slightly different.
The four types of rungs that can be present in a segment are:
Pure relay ladder diagram rungs (RLD rungs).
Rungs that combine RLD operations with a primitive functional block call (PRIMITIVE rungs).
Rungs that have no RLD operations, but call a Big Block with extensive functionality (BBL rungs).
Rungs that contain a textual comment describing the operation of the segment (COMMENT rungs).
The default rung type for a new rung is RLD. Several targets in the element type menu can be used to modify the type of
rung being edited. Each of these targets will be described in succession in the corresponding sections below. Once a rung
has been modified from an RLD rung to one of the other types, there is no way to return to an RLD rung except to delete the
rung and add a new, empty one.
Although there is a limited amount of relay ladder flexibility in the primitive type rung, it is not possible to mix these four
rung types within a rung.
5-2. FILE STRUCTURE
The editor uses several unit specific system level files that contain signal name database definitions, and definitions of the
software building blocks available to the user. Several types of files for maintaining the current contents of controller
segments are also used. These files are summarized in Figure 5-1. PRIMITIV.DEF and BIGBLOCK.DEF files are
ASCII system files that detail the interface to all of the high level programming blocks available in EPROM on a particular
Mark V Turbine controller.
5-1
GEH-6195F
Application Manual
CAUTION
BIGBLOCK.DEF and PRIMITIVE.DEF files are unique to each unit, and should not be
copied or interchanged from unit to unit.
Modification of these files is not necessary, and not recommended, as their content correlates directly to the contents of the
controller EPROM. If a new block is added to a system, or an existing block is modified, the new files will be provided from
the factory along with the new controller EPROMs.
The remaining files in Figure 5-1 are those that are created by the editor to support each individual segment as it is being
manipulated. The <segment>.SRC files are the source files that the editor loads and writes when it is saved. When a source
file is saved, the previous copy is renamed to <segment>.BAK to allow for recovery from serious editing errors.

5-3. STARTING THE EDITOR
The editor can be invoked from the system Main Menu or from the DOS command line. It should be run while in the
unit-specific directory for a particular unit. Start the editor by making the proper menu pick or by issuing the command MSE
at the DOS prompt. It is not necessary to give a filename at this point, however, the user may pass the name of the file that
requires editing. If a filename is not supplied at the command line, the editor prompts for a source filename.
If available, the editor loads the signal name database into memory, initializes the graphics system, and then prompts for a
source file name. It is not necessary to include the .SRC extension on the file name. If no name is entered (carriage return) a
default name is used (M5MSESEG.SRC), otherwise, the specified source file is loaded (if it exists). When retrieved, the
first rung of the segment is displayed.

GEH-6195F
5-4. EDITOR WINDOWS

The editor display consists of five major windows (see Figure 5-2). Several minor windows (not shown) display auxiliary
display information. The windows break down the actions necessary to edit a segment into logical groupings designed to
guide the user through the process. Each window is explained in detail below.
5-4.1. Rung Display Window
The largest window (Window 1 in Figure 5-2) is the "rung display window." This window displays the contents of the rung
currently being manipulated. This window also permits changes to be made to the current rung. Only one rung can be
displayed at a time. Provisions for moving among the rungs that make up a segment are provided in the "action window" (see
Section 5-4.2). The process of actually editing rungs is described in Section 5-6.
5-4.2. Action Window
The action window (Window 2) is multi-functional. It controls loading, saving, and quitting operations as well as movement
among the segment rungs.

Figure 5-2. Control Sequence Editor Window Structure
5-3
GEH-6195F
Application Manual
5-4.3. Element Type Window

The "element type window" (Window 3) controls the type of component that will be placed when the mouse button is
clicked for RLD or primitive rung editing purposes. If a primitive, big block, or comment is needed, this window provides
the capability to modify the rung type through the insertion of these elements.
5-4.4. Signal Name Window
The "signal name window" (Window 4) displays the signal name currently entered into the editor. This signal name will be
used when RLD components are placed or when an argument is identified on a primitive or big block. The current signal
name remains in the window and can be used in editing operations until a new signal name is entered. The window can be
cleared by striking the ESC key.
5-4.5. Message Window
When the editor needs to prompt the user for information or display a warning or error message, it uses the "message
window" (Window 5). The data entered by the user (after being prompted) will be echoed in the message window. When the
data in the message window is no longer needed, the window will be cleared. For this reason, the message window is
generally empty during normal editor operation.
5-4.6. Memory Available Window
The "memory window" (Window 6) displays the amount of memory available to hold additional rungs. If this number
approaches zero, the segment being edited is becoming too large. If such a problem occurs, break the segment up into several
smaller sections. These smaller sections can then be edited in turn without risk of total memory depletion. Less memory is
available when the editor is run from the Main Menu.
5-5. CURSOR POSITIONING DEVICE (CPD) SUPPORT
The following sections provide information concerning the use of the cursor positioning device (CPD). They detail the
following functions:

Application Manual
GEH-6195F
5-5.1. Segment Editing Operations

When editing a segment, there are several operations performed at the segment level, such as loading a segment from the
disk, finding an existing rung that needs modification, creating new rungs to perform additional functionality, and saving a
modified segment to the disk. These operations are performed using cursor targets located in the action window.
5-5.2. Moving Around Within a Segment
Several targets in the action window are dedicated to moving around within a segment in order to find a particular rung. The
two most obvious of these are the NEXT RUNG and PREV RUNG targets. A CPD click on either of these targets will
advance the editor to the next rung, or move it back to the previous one. A message will be displayed in the message window
if a move beyond the end of the segment is attempted. A third method is the GOTO RUNG feature, which allows for direct
movement to a particular rung number.
In addition to simply moving forward and backward within the segment, the user may wish to find the rung or rungs in
which a particular signal is used. The FIND NEXT and FIND PREV targets accomplish this task. In order to use these
targets, a signal name must be present in the signal name window in the upper right corner of the screen. To enter a signal
name into this window, simply start typing when the editor is not expecting any other information (this will be noted by an
empty message window). Any characters typed in this manner will automatically be routed to the signal name window. Once
the desired signal name is present in the window, click the cursor on either one of the targets, depending upon whether a
forward search or a backward search is desired. The next rung in the segment in which that signal name occurs (as a passed
parameter) will then become the current rung and will be displayed in the rung display window, ready for editing.
5-5.3. Adding and Deleting Rungs
When editing a segment, users may wish to add new rungs and delete existing ones to modify the function of the segment.
There are three targets in the action window dedicated to this type of operation; these include the ADD NEXT, ADD PREV,
and DEL RUNG targets. As it's name implies, the ADD NEXT target inserts an empty rung immediately after the rung
currently being displayed. The new rung is made the current rung, and it's empty RLD grid is displayed in the rung display
window. The user is then free to edit the new rung as desired. The ADD PREV target operates in much the same way as
ADD NEXT, except that the new rung is inserted immediately prior to the current rung.
An existing rung in the edited segment that is no longer needed can be deleted by using the DEL RUNG target. The DEL
RUNG target first prompts the user to insure that the deletion request is not a mistake, then deletes the rung (if so instructed).
The user should be certain that the rung being displayed is the one that needs to be deleted before allowing the editor to
proceed. Once the rung is deleted, the only way to recover it is to quit the editor and lose all changes, or to re-enter the rung
by hand.
5-5
GEH-6195F
Application Manual
5-5.4. Copying and Moving Rungs

Rung(s) can be copied or moved from one place to another (within the segment). Four targets in the action menu are used:
SLCT RUNG (select rung), COPY RUNG, MOVE RUNG, and DSLCT ALL (deselect all).
5-5.4.1. SLCT RUNG TARGET. The SLCT RUNG target is used to select one or more rungs for copy or move operations.
When the user clicks on the SLCT RUNG target, the current rung is selected. This will be indicated by a change in color
(white to green). More than one rung can be selected at a time and selected rungs do not need to be contiguous. Individual
selected rungs can be deselected by clicking the SLCT RUNG target a second time. Once selected, rungs remain selected
until they are moved using the MOVE RUNG target, or explicitly deselected using the DSLCT ALL or SLCT RUNG target.
This feature allows duplication of a series of rungs within a segment.
5-5.4.2. COPY RUNG TARGET. Clicking on the COPY RUNG target will copy all selected rungs in the segment to the
point immediately after the rung currently being displayed. The original rungs will remain in their current positions within
the segment, and will remain selected to allow a series of rungs to be copied to several places within a segment. The new
rungs will be added in the order in which they occur in the segment and will not be selected. A pictorial example of a copy
operation is shown in the Figure 5-3:

MOVE RUNG Target. The MOVE RUNG target moves all selected rungs in the segment to the point immediately
after the rung currently being displayed. The original rungs will no longer exist in their original positions within the segment.
The moved rungs will be inserted in the order in which they occur in the segment, and will subsequently not be selected. A
pictorial example of a move operation is shown in Figure 5-4.
5-5.4.3.
DSLCT ALL Target. The DSLCT ALL target removes the selected attribute from all rungs in the segment. It
should be used after a COPY operation has been completed, or if one or more rungs are mistakenly selected. A single rung
can be deselected by clicking the SLCT RUNG while positioned on the already selected rung.
5-5.4.4.
5-5.5. Loading and Saving a Segment

Three action menu targets are dedicated to performing the disk I/O related functions of loading and saving segment files to
and from the editor.
SAVE SEG TARGET. The SAVE SEG target saves an updated copy of the segment source file to disk. All
changes made up to the time at which the target is selected will be saved. The editor makes no attempts to verify signal name
validity or correct rung construction. The previous source file will be renamed with a .BAK extension to allow recovery of
the previous file if desired. Since the editor keeps no journal files, it is a recommended practice to periodically click on this
target during the course of a segment edit to protect against power failures or system malfunction.
5-5.5.1.
LOAD SEG TARGET. When the editor is started from the DOS prompt, the program must load data from the
system signal database into memory so that it can check names and variable types during the editing process. The
LOAD SEG target allows the user to load a new segment without exiting to DOS and restarting.
5-5.5.2.
When editing has been completed on the segment currently loaded, any changes made should be saved as described in the
previous paragraph. The LOAD SEG target can then be selected. If any unsaved modifications exist in the segment, a
message in the message window will prompt the user to this fact; the user will then be permitted to abort the operation. If
there are no unsaved modifications, or if the user desires to lose the changes made, the filename prompt will be displayed and
the user can load a new segment. Once the new segment is loaded, editing can proceed in the usual fashion.
5-7
GEH-6195F
Application Manual
5-5.6. Exiting from the Editor

When all editing operations are completed, the QUIT EDIT target can be used to exit the editor and return to the DOS
prompt or the main menu. If any unsaved modifications exist in the segment being edited, a message in the message window
will prompt the user to this fact; the user will then be permitted to abort the operation. If all modifications have been saved to
disk, the quit operation will proceed without interruption.
5-6. RUNG EDITING OPERATIONS
Once a new rung is entered into the segment being edited, or the desired existing rung is displayed on the screen, the rung's
contents must be edited in order to enter or modify the information desired. This is done using the basic rung editing
operations present in the editor.
5-6.1. Automatic Name Checking Against UNITDATA.DAT
An additional feature of the editor is the ability to automatically check the signal names entered into a segment against those
that are present in the Control Signal Database (CDB) for the controller contained in the UNITDATA.DAT file. If the
UNITDATA.DAT file is present in the unit specific directory when the editor is first executed, signal name and data type
information will be loaded into memory for the remainder of the editing session.
Each time a signal name is used on a rung element, or as a parameter to a PRIMITIVE or BBL, the editor will verify it's
existence and check it's data type against the type expected for the operation. Any inconsistencies will be annunciated to the
user in the message window, as well as with an audible chirp (which may be disabled by holding the ALT key and pressing
the B key). However, the editor does not prohibit any operations, including the entering of signal names not present in the
database. This allows the user to enter new names in the segment as it is edited, with the intent that these points are added to
the CDB after editing is complete.
The Control Sequence Compiler will flag all occurrences of undefined signal names or improper signal data types in all
segments as errors, and will not generate a downloadable file until all errors have been resolved.
5-6.2. Editing RLD Rungs
Relay Ladder Diagram editing occurs on the 64 element (8 x 8) matrix that appears when a new rung is created. Each matrix
element can hold a single RLD component, along with a vertical bus connection to other elements if desired. Editing each
rung element can be thought of as a three step process:
1.
Type the signal name for the desired element.
2.
Select the component type from the element type menu.
3.
Position the cursor over the horizontal portion of the rung grid and click the left button on the CPD.
However, it is not necessary to follow this three step process for every element entered. Once a component type is selected,
that selection remains in effect for all subsequent component placements on that rung. In addition, once a name is entered
into the signal name window, that name will be used until a new name is entered.
All RLD rungs must have an element in the upper left corner of the rung display window.
With certain restrictions it is possible to have more than one output coil on a single RLD rung. The rung must perform
normal combinatorial logic up to a point where a single value is brought out to a coil in the right-most column. Once this
initial output value has been calculated, it can be used to derive additional coil outputs utilizing intervening RLD logic if
5-8
Application Manual
GEH-6195F
desired. The main restriction is that once the initial value has been determined, no additional connections can be brought in
from the left hand bus. This feature is illustrated in Figures 5-5 & 5-6.

contacts, horizontal bus, and standard output coils. In addition to these, an additional type of coil, the inverted coil (see
Figures 5-5 & 5-6), is available. The signal name currently in the signal name window will be "dropped" on the RLD
element with the use of the left-most CPD button.
Vertical bus components are placed by positioning the cursor over the vertical portion of the rung grid and clicking the
left-most CPD button. The signal name field and selected component have no effect on the placement of vertical bus.
Several special features make the placement of coils in RLD rungs particularly user friendly. First, if either coil type (normal
or inverted) is the selected component, it will automatically be placed into the eighth (right most) column if a click occurs in
any other column. Additionally, if a click occurs in the eighth column when the selected component is not a coil, the normal
(non-inverted) coil will automatically be used instead of the selected component. Any time a coil is placed in the eighth
column, including by the automatic means described above, any unfilled elements to the left of the coil will automatically be
filled with horizontal bus. These three features allow the placement of coils without an undue amount of cursor movement
and component selection.
Component deletion is another frequently performed operation that the editor makes particularly easy. However, the method
for performing this operation differs depending on the number of buttons available on the CPD. For a three button device,
simply position the cursor over the component to be deleted and press the center button. The component and it's name will be
deleted. Any vertical bus connections must be deleted with an additional CPD button press, and vertical connections can be
deleted without deleting the main component in an element.
If the editor is being operated with a two button CPD, then deletions are made by clicking on the DEL target in the element
type window, and then using the left mouse button in the same manner as the center button was used with the three button
device. The DEL target will remain highlighted until another component target is picked to allow multiple component
deletions. The operator should ensure that an alternate target is picked as soon as deletions are completed to prevent
inadvertent component deletions.

GEH-6195F
Application Manual
One final RLD editing operation that is available in the editor is "picking up" a signal name with the right most CPD button.
Signal names can be read off the Rung Display window into the signal name window by placing the cursor over the signal
name.
5-6.3. Editing Primitive Rungs
Primitive rungs consist of a limited amount of RLD logic (8 high x 4 wide matrix) identical to that described above, plus a
block that controls a subroutine call. The RLD logic portion of the rung can supply up to eight logical inputs into the block,
and the block itself can have up to sixteen parameters of any type (logic, analog, count, or constant value).
Before the user can insert a primitive block into a rung, the rung type must be changed from RLD to PRIMITIVE. This is
done using the PRIM target in the element type window. Clicking the CPD on this target changes the 8 x 8 RLD matrix into
the 4 x 8 primitive matrix, clearing an area of the screen to display the primitive block. The primitive name will be displayed
in the message window, where the user must type in the name of the primitive insert. If a valid name is entered, the primitive
is displayed, and the attached RLD logic can then be entered.
RLD editing operations in primitive rungs are identical to the operations described in the previous section. The user must
ensure that a logic string has been connected to each logical input location on the left edge of the primitive block. Beyond
this, there are no other requirements. The function of the output coil on the right of the primitive block varies with the block
that has been selected, and it is not mandatory to assign a signal name to it.
Parameter name editing within the primitive block starts with the entry of the name in the signal name window in the manner
that has been previously described. The CPD cursor is then positioned immediately below the parameter title of interest, and
the left CPD button clicked. Again, the name entered will remain in the signal name window and can be entered multiple
times if desired. To change a single name, simply reenter the desired point, or the click on the right CPD button. This second
option can be used in manner similar to the one used for name changing on coils or contacts. The center CPD button or the
DEL target in the element type window can be used to delete signal names if necessary.
5-6.4. Editing Big Block Rungs
Big block rungs contain no relay ladder operations whatsoever. They represent subroutine calls that can have up to 63
parameters of any type. Before the user can insert a big block into a rung, the rung type must be changed from RLD to BBL.
This is done using the BBL target in the element type window. Clicking the CPD on this target will totally blank out the
RLD matrix so that the big block can be displayed. A particular big block can be selected by positioning the cursor anywhere
within the rung display window and clicking the left-most button. A prompt for the big block name will then be displayed in
the message window, and the user must type in the name of the big block that is to be inserted. If a valid name is entered, the
block will be displayed, and the parameters can then be edited.
Parameter name editing within big blocks is identical to the operation for primitives. A name is entered in the signal name
window and the left CPD button is then clicked with the cursor immediately below the parameter title of interest. The right
CPD button can be used to change names, and the center CPD button or the DEL target in the element type window can be
used to delete names.
5-6.5. Editing Comment Rungs
The final type of rung available in the editor is the comment rung. Comment rungs contain no executable operations. They
are a way of textually annotating the surrounding code in order to make it easier to understand. A comment rung can contain
up to 39 lines of 66 characters each.
To change a rung into a comment rung, the cursor should be clicked on the CMNT target in the element type window. Again,
the RLD matrix will be blanked out so that the comment can be displayed.
5-10
Application Manual
GEH-6195F
The comment can be edited by positioning the cursor anywhere within the rung display window and clicking the left-most
button. At this point, a separate, block style text cursor will be displayed within the rung display window. This is the cursor
that is used to edit comments. It is manipulated using the arrow keys on the keyboard instead of the CPD. The CPD cursor
will still be active and can be moved out of the area of interest for the time being.
The comment rung can now be edited using standard ASCII text editing techniques. Characters typed in will appear at the
text cursor position, or at the end of the current line if the cursor has been moved beyond the end. New lines can be added by
typing a carriage return. As new text is added in the middle of a line, the remaining text will be push over to the right. If the
word at the end of the current line reaches the end of the line, it will automatically be moved to the beginning of the next
line. Characters can be deleted using the BACKSPACE and DELETE keys in the normal manner. When text editing is
completed, holding the ALT key and pressing the C key will exit text editing mode, remove the text cursor, and reactivate
the CPD cursor.

CHAPTER 6
GENERAL INPUT AND OUTPUT CAPACITIES AND SPECIFICATIONS
6-1. CONTACT INPUTS
The Mark V uses the 125 volts DC bus from the internal power distribution core to provide a fuse isolated and current
limited interrogation voltage for the contact inputs. Other input voltages between 24 volts DC and 125 volts DC can be used,
however, they may require a power source external to the Mark V control. On the terminal boards DTBA and DTBB are
jumpers that can be used to isolate field grounds by disconnecting the interrogation voltage in groups of eight contact inputs.
Obviously this should only be done while the turbine is not running.
Each contact input is optically isolated on the TCDA card(s), which is located on the contact input and output (I/O) core.
Simplex and TMR applications have one (<CD>) core and can have one (<QD1>) or two (<QD1> and <QD2>) digital I/O
cores. <QDn> cores interface with the <Q> set of cores. <Q> is the <R> core in Simplex applications and voted
combination of <R>, <S>, and <T> cores in TMR systems. The <CD> core transfers digital I/O data to the <C> core.
Each contact input receives a time stamp within 1 millisecond of a status change by the processor located on the TCDA card.
The Mark V printer can log each contact input status change with the time stamp if that input is selected for logging.
Diagnostic circuitry tests the internal electronics of each contact input every 1 millisecond and initiate an alarm if the
circuitry fails. For contact inputs which feed <R>, <S>, and <T> in a TMR system, additional diagnostics compare the value
of each contact input and vote the data. The result of this "two out of three" voting is the contact status used in the execution
of the software, and diagnostic alarms annunciate any discrepancies which exist between the three controllers.
Every contact input destined for the <R>, <S>, and <T> controllers terminates on one terminal point, and is internally
parallel wired to all three controllers. See Appendix D for Signal Flow Diagrams.

6-2. CONTACT and SOLENOID OUTPUTS

The Mark V exclusively uses plug-in type magnetic relays for contact outputs (i.e. no solid state outputs). With the
exception of the and <PLU> cores, all of the relays are mounted on the two TCRA cards in each of the <CD>, <QD1>,
and optional <QD2> contact I/O cores. The <QDn> core(s) interface with the <R> controller in Simplex applications or
with <R>, <S>, and <T> controllers in a TMR system. <CD> core transfers digital I/O (i.e. contact inputs and outputs) to
the <C> core.
In a TMR system, the three controllers <R>, <S>, and <T> separately determine the contact output status and the "two out of
three" voting takes place at the relay driver. If the three controllers do not agree, a diagnostic alarm is annunciated.
The capacities listed below under "Simplex" and "TMR" are the total contact outputs available. By selecting jumpers on
the terminal boards, certain outputs can be internally powered by 125 volts DC or 115 volts AC. These internally powered
outputs are also called solenoid outputs. Each terminal board is supplied by a 15 amp fuse in the Power Distribution (<PD>)
core. The "Solenoid Outputs" column of these tables provide the number of contact outputs that can be internally powered
by 125 volts DC or 115 volts AC, depending the application.
Each card has 30 contact outputs; 18 of these can be self powered; 16 of the 18 can be internally powered by 125 volts DC; 2
of the 18 may be powered by 120 or 240 volts AC (15 amps). In gas turbine applications, these two AC outputs are normally
used for the ignition transformers.

6-3. THERMOCOUPLE INPUTS

Thermocouple inputs to the Mark V are organized in two groups: thermocouples which feed the TCQA cards in the <R>,
<S>, and <T> Controllers (or <R> in Simplex applications) and thermocouples which feed the TCCA card in the <C>
Controller. A typical Gas turbine application may have eighteen exhaust thermocouples and feed six to EACH controller for
redundancy, while steam turbine applications take thermocouples used for rotor stress calculations and split them between
<R>, <S>, and <T>. Any temperature which is control or trip related is monitored in this manner to provide two out of three
redundancy for both the temperature monitoring device and the internal electronics. Simplex applications have a total or
fifteen thermocouple inputs since they only have the <R> Controller.
The <C> Controller can monitor forty-two thermocouples which are divided into three groups of fourteen inputs with
separate solid state cold junction compensation. The <C> inputs are typically used for monitoring only - no control or trip
functions - with the exception of gas turbine Simplex applications. With a Simplex unit, the exhaust temperature
thermocouples are parallel wired at the terminal boards to the <R> and <C> Controllers for redundancy. This configuration
provides redundant over-temperature protection because each controller has separate power supplies, processors, trip
outputs, and relaying.

6-11. ANALOG VOLTAGE AND CURRENT INPUTS AND OUTPUTS

Most of the analog inputs to the Mark V come directly from transducers on the turbine such as vibration or speed sensors;
however, 4 - 20 mA and 0 - 1 mA inputs are provided for other types of transducers.
Each analog input can receive isolated 21 volts DC excitation power for the transducer from the Mark V. The inputs are
connected to the terminal board on the TBQC card. Jumpers are provided for such selections as (1) current or voltage input,
(2) burden resistor size, and (3) grounding options.
Some inputs can be used as either voltage or current inputs by the selection of a jumper. In current input mode a burden
resistor produces a voltage from the transducer current. This voltage is then internally parallel wired with ribbon cables to
the TCQA cards in <R>, <S>, and <T> or just <R> in Simplex applications. Any discrepancy between the three controller
inputs is annunciated as an internal diagnostic fault while the control and protection system continue to perform their normal
calculations based on the median signal. Additional diagnostics monitor the inputs to insure that they are within their proper
range.
An additional input to <Q> is provided for the megawatt transducer input on generator drive units. This input is similar to a
general purpose 4 - 20 mA input except that it terminates on the QTBA card where a jumper selects whether the input is 0 1ma (enabling a 5k ohm burden resistor) or the input is 4 - 20 mA (enabling a 250 ohm burden resistor). The megawatt input
is then parallel wired to the TCQC cards in <R>, <S>, and <T>.
If a transducer is powered by the Mark V or by an isolated power supply, a grounding jumper should be installed on the
terminal board. If the transducer is separately powered by a grounded supply, the jumper should be removed. Refer to
Appendix D for jumper numbers and connection diagrams.
Both 4 - 20 mA (500 ohm max burden) and 0 - 200 mA (40 ohm max burden) analog current outputs are available. An
optional card can provide two additional outputs. The TCCA card in the <C> Controller has 4 - 20 mA (500 ohm max
burden) outputs available via the CTBA terminal board. These outputs can be independently configured from the Mark V
Operator Interface, and are typically used for driving remote instrumentation for monitoring. The <C> controllers 4 - 20 mA
outputs cannot be used to drive self powered meters due to voltage regulating conflicts with the meters.

CHAPTER 7
APPLICATION SPECIFIC FUNCTIONS
7-1. PULSE RATE INPUTS
Pulse rate inputs monitored by the Mark V Control Panel fall into three categories: magnetic speed sensors which feed the
TCQC cards in the <R>,<S>, and <T> cores (or just <R> in Simplex applications); TTL type inputs which feed the TCQC
card(s); and magnetic speed sensors which feed the TCEA cards in the Protection () core. To provide TMR operation for
critical protective functions, there are three independent cards in the core (including Simplex controls). The most
common application for the pulse rate inputs is monitoring the turbine shaft speed with magnetic speed sensors. Speed is
sensed by magnetic field speed sensors mounted near a multi-toothed wheel attached to the turbine shaft. These are usually
60 teeth wheels but they can be programmed for any number. Voltage pulses are generated by the speed sensors as the teeth
of the wheel pass through the magnetic fields surrounding the speed sensors.
The Mark V can interface with the standard passive or the optional active speed sensors with an effective frequency range of
2 to 10,000 Hz. Sensitivity at 2 Hz (that is 2 rpm for a 60 tooth wheel) is 0.033 V peak-to-peak which allows detecting zero
speed without the need for any external devices. The maximum input voltage is 200 V peak-to-peak. Six magnetic speed
sensors can be monitored by each of the <R>, <S>, and <T> controllers. One additional magnetic pickup is paralleled to all
three controllers. A typical application has three speed sensors wired independently to each <R>, <S>, and <T> controller.
The voting software then selects the median value for the governing speed parameter and the primary overspeed trip signal in
TMR systems. Simplex may have three speed sensors also. Consult the vendor turbine documentation or control sequence
program (CSP) for details.
AC permanent magnet generators and pulse tachometers can be used provided they are bolted directly to the shaft. The Mark
V Control Panel requires a signal at its I/O terminal board which does not have a dc offset. If a speed sensor signal has a dc
offset, the signal must be conditioned to remove the dc offset.
CAUTION
Flexible couplings must not be used for connecting Mark V speed feedback tachometers to the
turbine shaft.
Turbines which do not have a mechanical bolt for the "backup" or emergency overspeed protection require a totally separate
and independent set of electronics for emergency trip protection. This is provided by the three TCEA cards in the core
which has independent power supplies and processors. Each TCEA card can interface with two speed sensors, and the
overspeed trip settings are adjustable. (See section 7-3.)
7-2. THE MASTER TRIP CIRCUIT AND THE PROTECTION CORE
Turbine protection in the Mark V Control system is performed by multiple cores within the control panel. The following text
and illustrations show the manner in which various protective functions are implemented.
There are two parts to the Master Trip Circuit: the inputs to the Mark V and the outputs from the Mark V.
The "hardwired" or remote trip inputs to the Mark V (contact open to trip) connect to the "4's" relay coils (known as the "4's"
for the ANSI standard device number). These relays are energized during normal operation by 125 V dc from the power
distribution core. This circuit has redundant relay coils connected to the positive dc bus in series with the external trip contact
inputs and another set of redundant relay coils connected to the negative dc bus. (See Figure D-46.) A failure of any one of
7-1
GEH-6195F
Application Manual
the four "4's" relay coils will not accidently trip the turbine because the resultant hardware contact vote will "out vote" the
failed relay. Only de-energizing both relays connected to the same (positive or negative) dc bus will trip the turbine.
If an external trip signal is received, the "4's" trip circuit will de-energize and the voting contacts circuit will de-energize the
internal 24 V dc protective bus. The supply to this 24 V dc protective bus comes from a circuit which selects the maximum
voltage from three power supplies; one on each TCEA card in the core.
The 24 V dc protective bus then supplies all the primary trip relays (PTRs), emergency trip relays (ETRs), and other relays
which interface with the turbine trip solenoids. These PTR's and ETR's comprise the output portion of the Master Trip
Circuit. The microprocessors on the TCEA cards monitor the status of the "hardwired" or remote trip inputs, however, the
actual tripping is independent of any microprocessor.
The PTR's and ETR's are located on a card which is specifically designed for a particular turbine application; either the
TCTG for gas turbines, TCTS for medium sized steam turbines, or TCTL for large sized steam turbines. The different TCTx
(TCTx is an abbreviation for TCTG, TCTS, or TCTL) cards are described in detail in the following sections along with a list
of common master protective trip tests offered by each application.
<Q>, which consists of the <R>, <S>, and <T> processors in a TMR system or just <R> in a Simplex system, provides
protection for conditions such as loss of flame, starting means failure, excessive exhaust temperature spreads in gas turbines,
excessive vibration, over temperatures, primary overspeed trip, and loss of hydraulic oil via the PTRs of the Master Trip
Circuit. The PTR trips are JOB SPECIFIC and are defined in the CSP.
The core consists of three independent, identical TCEA printed circuit cards known as <X>, <Y>, and <Z> (Simplex
applications also have TMR emergency tripping, therefore, all Mark V systems will have three cards). These cards have their
own power supplies and provide emergency overspeed protection, gas turbine flame detection, the automatic synchronization
signal, and testing of overspeed trips for certain applications. If two out of three cards "vote" for a trip, a shutdown is
initiated by sending signals to the ETR's on the trip card. The automatic synchronization signal energizes an output relay on
the trip card and, if two out of three TCEA cards agree, will close the generator's power circuit breaker. Each card has an
80196 microprocessor that runs a continuous loop program which is stored on firmware (PROMs). The core is standard
with firmware that does not change with each application and cannot be modified without changing PROMs.
The core master protective functions (ETRs) will be covered in this section. Job specific master protective functions
(PTR's) will be covered in the CSP and other turbine vendor documentation.
Figure 7-1 is a simplified block diagram of the protective functions provided by each card (<X>,<Y>, <Z>) in the core.
The blocks used are representations of the firmware which can only be changed by replacing the PROMs. The types of
blocks used are as follows:
7-2
AND
Logical AND function. All inputs must be "true" for the output to be "true".
COMPARE
Compares two signals, with the output being defined by the text. For example, the software
parameters are compared with the hardware "Berg" jumpers. If they are not identical, a diagnostic
alarm is generated. If the software and hardware are identical, the configuration information is
sent on to the next block.
ISO
Isolates and conditions signals from field devices to the levels used in the processors.
LATCH
Latches the trip signal until reset manually.
LIMIT
Limits the input to the range of the MAX and MIN values.
RANGE
Limits the range of the output to within the limits defined by the MIN and MAX
CHECK
values. If the input is within range, the output equals the input . If the input is not within range, a
diagnostic alarm will be generated.
Application Manual
GEH-6195F
OR
Logical OR function. Any "true" input will result in a "true" output.
RD
Relay Driver, converts logic level signals to drive the 24 V dc ETR relays.
SCALE
Scales the speed signal pulses using the configuration data to be a percent of rated speed.
The small boxes near the signal lines contain the typical Mark V software signal names for these signals. The values of these
control signal data base point names can be monitored via the operator interface ().
The text in quotations is the diagnostic alarm message that will be annunciated if that alarm condition is active.
The table on the first page gives dc voltage values for TP4 (or ANA OUT or ANALOG OUT as it may be called on the card)
at various speeds of the H.P. shaft. This is an output from the microprocessor and should only be used for diagnostic
purposes. Use only high input impedance (10 Megohms or greater) and non-grounded (differential input) measurement
devices like a digital multi-meter (DMM), oscilligraph, or oscilloscope in differential mode, and reference to DCOM (TP1).
A logic high or "1" from any trip signal will de-energize the ETR relays and cause the turbine to shut down. The status of the
 core trip signals while in normal running condition is a logic low or "0".

Application Manual
The emergency overspeed trips that originate in the core are as follows:
1.
High Pressure Shaft (HP) Overspeed Trip:

If the HP shaft scaled speed feedback exceeds the setpoint, an HP shaft overspeed trip will be initiated.
This trip signal will be latched until a master reset command is given. For testing a different setpoint can be
substituted for the design value.
2.
High Pressure Shaft Over Deceleration Rate:

If the HP shaft scaled speed feedback decreases faster than 100% per second, an HP shaft over-rate trip
will be initiated. This fast rate of change usually indicates a defective speed sensor or wiring. This trip
signal will be latched until a master reset command is given.
3.
Low Pressure Shaft (LP) Overspeed Trip and LP Shaft Over Deceleration Rate:
If enabled in a dual shaft system, these trips function in the same fashion as respective HP shaft trips.
4.
LM Type (Aero Derivative) Speed Trips:

If the system is an LM type aero derivative, two additional protective functions are provided in the X and
Y cards only (the cards are identical; jumpers select the type of system). Type LM machines normally have
only two speed sensors, therefore, the Z processor output is inhibited. If the HP shaft speed is greater than
60% and the LP shaft speed is less than 1%, a trip will be initiated. Also, any time the HP shaft speed is
less than 1% of rated speed a trip will be initiated.
5.
Large Steam Turbine Trip Anticipator:

In large steam applications, a trip anticipator (TA) function is available. The overspeed trip setpoint is
reduced as the load is increased which will reduce the turbine speed overshoot in case of full load rejection.
<R>, <S>, and <T> determine the TA speed setpoint and the median value is sent to the core. This
setpoint is confirmed to be within a valid range, limited to high and low preset values and becomes the TA
reference. If the TA setpoint from <R>, <S>, and <T> is out of range, a diagnostic signal is sent back to
them and a fixed value of 106% is used for the TA reference. If the HP shaft scaled speed feedback signal
exceeds the TA reference, a trip is initiated. A test circuit tracks the TA speed setpoint and when test is
selected, the processor inhibits a trip then reduces the setpoint at a rate of 1% per minute until a TA trip is
activated.
6.
Hardwired Trips:
Any pushbuttons or other hardwired trips initiated outside the Mark V control system will be connected to
the PTBA terminal board in the core (see Appendix D, D-46). These hardwired trips will de-energize
the 24 V dc supply from all the ETR and PTR relays. The core will also initiate a trip.
7.
Cross Trip from <Q>:

If the <Q> core initiates a trip to the PTR relays, a backup signal will be sent to the core to also trip
the ETR relays.
Remember that each of these trip functions is derived independently by three separate cards (X, Y, Z) from separate speed
feedback devices (in a complete TMR system). These cards then send their respective trip signals to three separate relays on
the trip (TCTx) card. The TMR voting takes place with the relay contacts.
7-6
Application Manual
GEH-6195F
7-2.1. The Trip Cards: TCTL, TCTS, TCTE, and TCTG

The trip cards have at least two separate sets of three primary trip relays (PTR1 & 2), and two separate sets of three
emergency trip relays (ETR1 & 2). Some applications require additional relays for other functions. Refer to the following
sections for details. The PTRs are controlled from each of the TCQA cards in <R>, <S>, and <T>, and the two ETRs are
controlled from the TCEA cards in . If two out of three PTRs or two out of three ETRs de-energize, the turbine will trip.
Throughout the documentation and drawings, the abbreviation "2/3" has been adopted to mean "two out of three".
7-2.1.1. LARGE STEAM TURBINE TRIP CIRCUIT - TCTL. If 2/3 ETR1s or 2/3 PTR1s are de-energized or the trip
pushbutton is pressed, the mechanical trip solenoid valve (MTSV) will energize and trip the turbine. If 2/3 ETR2s or 2/3
PTR2s are de-energized, the electrical trip solenoid valve (ETSV) will de-energize and trip the turbine. The MTSV is
powered from the 125 V dc bus in the internal power distribution core. The ETSV is powered from the same 24 V dc
protective bus (described in section 5.2.1 of this manual) that powers all the ETR and PTR relays. The other solenoids are
powered from the internal 115 V ac feeder (see Appendix B for the card diagram).
In addition to the trip control relays, the TCTL card has the following four auxiliary control outputs available:
1.
Electrical Lock Out Solenoid (ELO)
2.
Mechanical Lock Out Solenoid (MLO)
3.
Oil Reset Solenoid Valve (ORST)
4.
Oil Test Solenoid (OTS)
Several tests can be performed with a full complement of hardware. Some of the tests that the Mark V can perform include:
1.

7-3. SETTING THE PRIMARY AND EMERGENCY OVERSPEED TRIP SETPOINTS
The Mark V control system provides two independent levels of electronic overspeed protectionprimary and emergency
for up to two turbine shafts. These two electronic overspeed functions are in addition to any mechanical overspeed protection
systems provided by the turbine vendor, such as a mechanical overspeed bolt mechanism.
Primary overspeed detection and trip initiation is accomplished by the overspeed protection Big Block Language (BBL) in
the CSP in the <R>, <S>, and <T> control processors (or just <R> in Simplex) using the primary turbine shaft speed sensors.
The Control Constants define the trip setpoints for the blocks. The magnetic speed sensor pulses are filtered and scaled
(converted to percent of rated shaft speed) by the I/O cards. When the scaled turbine shaft speed signal exceeds a Control
Constant setpoint, the CSP overspeed block initiates a turbine trip.
Designed to be used in place of the mechanical overspeed mechanism, emergency overspeed protection is accomplished by
the protective processors (<X>, <Y>, and <Z>) in the protective core, . Emergency overspeed protection is completely
independent of primary overspeed protection. A second set of turbine shaft speed sensors is usually connected to the PTBA
I/O terminal board on the . If the additional shaft speed sensors are not available, the primary shaft speed sensors can be
paralleled to the emergency shaft over speed sensor input points.
NOTE
The Mark V will not permit turbine operation without HP shaft speed sensor inputs connected to the
protective processors. LP shaft emergency speed sensors must be connected, as well, if the unit has an LP
shaft.
Emergency overspeed protection setpoints are configured both by I/O Configuration software settings and by hardware
jumper settings on the TCEA cards in . If these two are not set the same, a diagnostic alarm will be annunciated, and the
panel initialization will not complete successfully.
7-9
GEH-6195F
Application Manual
The frequency of the pulses from the shaft speed sensors depends on the number of teeth on the feedback wheel as well as
shaft RPM. For example, most heavy duty gas turbines use magnetic speed pickups with 60-toothed speed sensing wheels for
primary and emergency shaft speed feedback signals. In this case there are 60 pulses per revolution, so the frequency of the
speed signal is equal to the RPM of the shaft (1 Hz equals 1 RPM). Many steam turbines use magnetic speed pickups with
160-toothed speed sensing wheels, thus 2.667 Hz equals 1 RPM. The Mark V I/O card(s) scale the primary speed feedback
signals to be a percent of rated shaft speed. Rated shaft speed is the speed at which the turbine is designed to be operated, not
the highest possible maximum shaft speed.
Emergency speed feedback signals are normally scaled to percent of rated design speed, not necessarily normal operating
speed. For example, a turbine whose rated design speed is different from its normal operating speed is a Frame 6 heavy duty
single shaft gas turbine being used as the prime mover for a generator through a gear box. To operate at synchronous speed,
the input to the gear box must be at 5196 RPM. The rated design speed for a Frame 6 heavy duty single-shaft gas turbine is
5100 RPM. In this case, the normal operating speed would be 5196 RPM. Therefore it is possible that the scaled primary
speed feedback signal and the scaled emergency speed feedback signal may not have the same value for percent of HP shaft
speed.
Sections 7-3.1 and 7-3.2 describe the operation and adjustment of the primary and emergency overspeed protection
functions. Section 7-3.3 covers additional concerns of Simplex applications.
7-3.1. Primary Overspeed Protection
The primary turbine speed sensors are individually connected to a pulse rate input on the QTBA I/O card in location 6 of
each control processor core. Thus, each control processor has its own independent shaft speed sensor. The frequency from
each primary shaft speed sensor is converted to a percent of normal operating speed by the I/O Configuration software on the
TCQA card of each control processor. The definition of "normal operating speed" is made on the TCQA card "Pulse
Rate Definition" screen of the I/O Configurator (see Appendix B, TCQA Card, screen 17/21).
The frequency defined for the input's Max Pulse Rate (100% rating) is the input frequency which will be equal too
normal operating turbine speed. This value must be expressed in frequency, not in RPM; the input frequency will depend on
the type of input device and the number of teeth on the speed sensing wheel. Each processor's digitally scaled speed feedback
signal is communicated to the other control processors and to the communication processor <C>. Then each control
processor "votes" the data by choosing the median of the three and uses the voted value in the execution of the CSP. The
Control Data Base (CDB) point name for HP turbine shaft speed is almost always "TNH" and its value is always expressed
in percent of normal operating speed.
The voted value of "TNH" is used in the overspeed detection BBL block (see Appendix C) in each control processor's CSP.
If the voted value of "TNH" exceeds the primary overspeed trip value from the Control Constant table file (usually TNKHOS
and also expressed as a percent of normal operating speed), that processor will vote for a trip via the primary trip relays. (See
Section 7-2.) As with all Control Constants, the value of the turbine primary overspeed Control Constant is determined by
the turbine vendor, and should not be modified without the concurrence of the factory.
7-3.2. Emergency Overspeed Protection
Emergency overspeed protection is provided by the Mark V control panel to be used in place of a mechanical overspeed
mechanism (for example, an overspeed bolt). Even when a bolt is used, the HP (High Pressure) shaft emergency overspeed
protection function must have speed feedback because it will always be active. If LP (Low Pressure) shaft emergency speed
protection is not necessary, it can be disabled by setting the I/O Configuration Constant overspeed setting values and
hardware jumpers to zero. In either TMR or Simplex applications there must be three HP shaft speed feedback signals for
emergency overspeed protection. If three seperate emergency overspeed speed sensors are not available, the primary speed
feedback signals may be paralleled to the emergency speed feedback inputs.
7-10
Application Manual
GEH-6195F
The I/O Configuration overspeed setting and hardware jumper settings must agree for the control processor (<R>, <S>, or
<T>) associated with each TCEA card to reach "ready to run" status (the first two digits of the display on the LCC card
momentarily display "A7"). The HP shaft emergency overspeed setting (and hence the TCEA HP shaft emergency overspeed
hardware jumper settings) are defined by the turbine vendor and should not be modified without concurrence; it can be
calculated using the formula shown on the I/O Configurator screen and in Appendix A.
The speed feedback frequency from the sensing device is scaled to a digital value proportional to rated design speed. The
CDB point name for scaled HP shaft emergency speed feedback is typically TNH_OS and it is expressed as a percent of
rated design speed (not necessarily the same as normal operating speed: see Section 7-3). An example of an HP shaft
emergency overspeed I/O Configurator screen can be seen in Appendix B.
The microprocessor on each TCEA card compares TNH_OS to the overspeed setpoint and when TNH_OS exceeds the
setpoint a turbine trip is initiated by de-energizing the ETRs on the TCTx card (see Section 7-2).
LP shaft emergency overspeed detection and trip is accomplished in an identical manner, with CDB pointname for the scaled
LP shaft emergency speed feedback being TNL_OS. If a unit does not have an LP shaft, then the LP shaft emergency
overspeed setpoints (both software and hardware) must all be set to zero.
7-3.3. Simplex Applications
Mark V Simplex control panels have only one control processor, <R>, but will still have three protective processors (<X>,
<Y>, and <Z>) in . Simplex control panels will require at least one speed sensor input per shaft to <R> and three
individual speed sensor inputs per shaft to (one for each of the protective processors). Simplex control panels have the
ability to accept a second, redundant speed sensor input per shaft to <R>. If provided, redundant speed sensors require
appropriate modifications to the CSP in order to choose the higher of the two speed feedback signals for use in the CSP as
well as the primary overspeed BBL block.
7-4. SERVO VALVE DRIVE SYSTEM
The servo valve drive system acts as the interface between the Mark V control system and the hydraulic actuators that
position the mechanical devices. The basic system compares the actual position of the hydraulic actuators to a setpoint and
outputs a position control signal that maintains the system balance.
The system consists of the following components:
Mark V Digital Closed Loop Regulator and Interface circuit.
Servo Valve for control of oil to the hydraulic actuator or cylinder.
Feedback devices such as LVDTs, LVDRs, pressure transducers, or rate of flow detectors.
Hydraulic actuator and a source of hydraulic power to position mechanical devices.
7-11
GEH-6195F
Application Manual
7-4.1. The Servo Valve

The servo valve is used to control the direction and rate of movement of a position actuator of a control device. In effect, it
acts as the interface between the electrical and mechanical systems by converting an electrical signal to a hydraulic output. In
response to this electrical input signal (typically less than one watt), the servo valve modulates high pressure hydraulic fluid
to the actuator.
The Mark V can control servo-valves with up to three coils. In a typical TMR system, the <R> control processor is
connected to one coil, <S> is connected to the second coil, and <T> is connected to the third coil of a three-coil servo valve.
The three currents through three coils wound around one steel laminated core produce one magnetic field. This magnetic
field moves a valve that controls the flow of high pressure oil to the actuator. This is a form of "hardware voting", where the
individual outputs of the redundant control processors are "voted" (summed) by the action of the servo-valve's coils. This
avoids a potential single point failure within the electronics from tripping the turbine. A failure of a controller, its output
port, or the physical connection to the output coil will result in the other two servo drives compensating for the failed channel
and keeping the valve properly positioned.
The servo-valve outputs of a Mark V Simplex control panel will generally be connected to a two-coil servo valve. Each
output has a second output terminal to which one wire of the second coil of a two-coil servo-valve can be connected. If one
servo-valve coil's circuit were to open (loose wire, broken coil connection , and so on), the other coil is capable of
positioning the device until the servo-valve can be replaced.
7-4.2. Regulator Feedback Devices
This section describes the operation of the following feedback devices:
LVDT or LVDR Position Feedback
Rate of Flow of Liquid Fuel (sometimes called flow-rate feedback)
Pressure Feedback from pressure transducers
For additional details on the operation of regulator, see the Mark V Digital Closed Loop Regulator and Interface section,
below.
7-4.2.1. LVDT or LVDR POSITION FEEDBACK The physical position of the actuator is detected by a LVDT (Linear
Variable Differential Transformer) or a LVDR (Linear Variable Differential Reactor) and converted to a voltage signal that
is fed back to the control processors. The variable ac voltage signal from an LVDT or LVDR is converted from an analog
value to a digital value, then scaled by the regulator to a value proportional to position for use by the regulator. When the
actual position is equal to the setpoint, the signal to the servo valve holds the valve in the lapped, closed, or null position. If
the system is not in balance (the hydraulic actuator is not at the setpoint position), the controller will position the valve in the
proper direction, restoring the system balance by repositioning the hydraulic actuator.
7-4.2.2. RATE OF FLOW OF LIQUID FUEL FEEDBACK Flow-rate feedback signals to the digital control regulators are
generally provided by magnetic speed pickups. The pulse rate from a magnetic speed pickup is scaled by the I/O
Configuration Constants to a value proportional to flow-rate for use by the regulator.
7-12
Application Manual
GEH-6195F
7-4.2.3. PRESSURE FEEDBACK Pressure feedback signals to the digital control regulators are generally provided by either
voltage or current transducers. After being converted from an analog value to a digital value, the voltage or current signal
from the transducer is scaled by the I/O Configuration Constants to a value proportional to pressure.
7-5. MARK V INTERFACE
The current of each servo-valve output is the result of the comparison of a reference value and a feedback value by a digital
control regulator (or, regulator) defined for that output. A functional block diagram of the basic operation of a digital control
regulator, its inputs, and its output are shown in Figure 7-2.

Figure 7-2. Functional Block Diagram of a Digital Control Regulator

The reference value for a servo-valve output's digital control regulator is calculated in the control processor's CSP, where it
is written into the processor's control signal database and then read from the control signal database by its defined regulator.
The association of a CSP-calculated reference value to a particular servo-valve output is made when the reference value's
CDB pointname is assigned to an output point in the unit's I/O assignment file (IO.ASG). The type of regulator associated
with a particular servo-valve output is made when a function type and sub-type is defined on the servo-valve output's
regulator definition screen of the I/O Configurator. A graphical representation of how a CDB pointname and its value are
assigned to a servo-valve output and how a regulator function is defined for that output is shown in Figure 7-3. The value of
CDB pointname V1_OUT was assigned to servo-valve output #1 (SVO1) in IO.ASG, and regulator function type 43 was
defined for SVO1 in the I/O Configurator.
The digital control regulators are part of the I/O Configuration software on the TCQA I/O card in each control processor in
the Mark V. While the type of regulator function (position, flow-rate, or pressure control) defined for a servo-valve output
can be changed using the I/O Configurator, the operation of the regulator cannot. Algorithms used by the digital control
regulator functions are stored on EPROM chips on the TCQA card and, as such, cannot be altered or modified unless new
EPROM chips are obtained from by GEDS.

Figure 7-3. Reference and Regulator Function Definition for Servo-Valve Output
The type of regulator defined for a particular servo-valve output is dependent upon the type of control function required of
the output. The following five digital control regulator functions are available in the Mark V control system:
1.
Position control with cylinder and pilot valve position feedback
2.
Position control with position feedback
3.
Flow control with flow-rate feedback
4.
Flow control with flow-rate and position feedback
5.
Pressure control with pressure and position feedback
For more information about the operation of each regulator, see Section 7-5.3 of this manual.
Each servo-valve output has a regulator definition screen in the TCQA Card Definition portion of the I/O Configurator. A
two character hexadecimal number, such as 53 or 7A, is used to specify the regulator function type and sub-type. The first
character, or most significant digit, is called the "basic" regulator type number and defines the digital control regulator
function (one of the five listed above). The second character (least significant digit) defines the number of feedback signals
and how the regulator will handle redundant feedback signals.
Because the digital control regulators are used on various applications with differing characteristics, the parameters used by
the regulators (gains, biases, offsets, limits, and so on) vary with the unit and may be adjusted during start-up. The majority
of I/O Configuration Constant values for each regulator are entered on the servo-valve ouput's regulator definition screen of
the I/O Configurator. Pressure control and flow control regulators have some of their feedback scaling constants defined on
separate screens in the I/O Configurator.

CAUTION
After stable operation has been achieved, the regulator parameters should not need to be modified unless
critical system components have been changed. The digital regulators will not drift or change with time, and
excessive adjustment could make the system unstable or oscillatory.

7-5.2. Regulator Feedback Signals

The digital control regulators, with the exception of type 40, use feedback signals to accurately position the devices they
control via the servo-valves. The connection and distribution of feedback signals vary with the application and
understanding this is helpful when configuring or troubleshooting a Mark V.
Several of the feedback signal input points to a Mark V control panel are "reserved" (that is, primarily intended) for use by
the digital control regulators and their servo-valve outputs. Each control processor (<R>, <S>, and <T>) in a Mark V control
panel has provisions for its own feedback device(s), either magnetic speed pickups, pressure transducers, or LVDT/LVDRs.
LVDT/LVDR position feedback signals are handled in one of two methods in a Mark V control panel depending on the
control philosophy of the application.
7-5.2.1. MAGNETIC SPEED PICKUP/PULSE RATE FEEDBACK SIGNALS. Figures 7-4, 7-5, and 7-6 show how the two
basic types of flow control regulators handle their flow-rate feedback inputs. Note that each control processor has its own
individual pulse-rate inputs. Magnetic speed pickup/pulse-rate inputs MPU3 and MPU4 to each control processor (control
processor I/O terminal board QTBA, location 6, terminals 55 & 56 and 57 & 58, respectively) are intended primarily for use
as liquid fuel flow-rate inputs by the two basic types of flow control regulator functions. For flow control regulators, MPU3
is defined as the first flow-rate input and MPU4 the second flow-rate input for each control processor. Depending on the
regulator function sub-type, the regulator will use either the first flow input (MPU3), the second flow input (MPU4), or the
maximum/greater feedback signal from both flow inputs. Each control processor in a Mark V control panel has a QTBA I/O
terminal board which handles I/O dedicated to that control processor; refer to Appendix D. For additional information, see
Sections 7-1 and 6-8.

Flow Control Regulator Application Notes

1) A flow control type regulator can usually be defined for any servo-valve output (see Note 3 below). With two flowrate feedback inputs available, only two servo-valve outputs can be defined with flow control regulators. (In a
Simplex control panel using redundant flow-rate feedbacks from the same process (that is, liquid fuel flow divider),
only one servo-valve output can be defined with a flow control regulator.)
2) In Simplex applications, flow control regulators are usually defined only on servo-valve outputs 1, 2, 3, or 4 in
order to take advantage of the emergency overspeed trip servo current bias function (refer to the signal flow
diagrams for the TCEA I/O card).
3) Type 6 flow control regulators cannot usually be defined for servo-valve outputs 1 and 7; refer to the I/O
Configurator servo-valve Regulator Definition Screens for a list valid regulator types for each output.
4) Type 5 and 6 flow control regulators require flow feedback pulse rate signal scaling I/O Configuration constants to
be entered on a separate I/O Configurator screen.
5) Type 6 flow control regulators require additional I/O Configuration Constants (integrator convergence gain,
position reference gain, position reference time constant, and position limits) to be entered at the bottom of the
Regulator Definition Screen.
6) Type 6 flow control regulators must have their integrator convergence assigned in IO.ASG.
7-19
GEH-6195F
Application Manual
7) Unused flow control regulator pulse rate inputs may be used for other purposes (for example,
display/monitoring/logging, or in a CSP function).
8) If a single pulse rate input is connected to an unused regulator input in a TMR control panel, the input signal must
be jumpered to all three input points for proper operation.
7-5.2.2. PRESSURE TRANSDUCER FEEDBACK SIGNALS. Inputs VDC1 and VDC2 are the generic hardware names for
0-10 VDC inputs. They are primarily intended as pressure transducer inputs for use as feedback by pressure control
regulators. Because of the "critical" nature of Stop/Ratio Valve control there are three pressure transducer inputs each for
VDC1 and VDC2for individual inputs from redundant transducers to each control processor for those two feedback
signals. They are all terminated on the TBQB I/O terminal board in location 9 on the <R> processor (see Figure 7-7). The
first of the redundant transducer inputs for VDC1 and VDC2 is communicated to the TCQA I/O card in the <R> control
processor only by a dedicated ribbon cable. In a TMR control panel, the second of the redundant inputs for both feedback
signals is communicated to the TCQA I/O card in the <S> control processor only by a dedicated ribbon cable, and the third
of the redundant inputs is communicated to the TCQA card in the <T> control processor only by a dedicated ribbon cable.
Appendix B contains the signal flow diagrams that show this point.
For pressure control regulator feedbacks, VDC1 is defined as the first pressure input and VDC2 the second pressure input.
Depending on the regulator function sub-type, the regulator will use either the first pressure input (VDC1), the second
pressure input (VDC2), or the maximum feedback signal from both pressure inputs. (Hardware jumpers are provided on the
TBQB I/O terminal board to connect a 250 ohm resistor across the signal input terminals if the feedback signal is in
milliamps instead of volts.)

3) Unused digital control regulator pressure transducer feedback inputs may be used for other purposes such as

4) If a single transducer is connected to an unused digital control regulator input in a TMR control panel the input
signal must be jumpered to all three input points for proper operation.
5) Type 7 regulators must have their integrator convergence assigned in IO.ASG.
7-5.2.3. LVDT/LVDR POSITION FEEDBACK SIGNALS. The Mark V handles LVDT/LVDR position feedback inputs in
two different methods. One way to determine which method is employed by a particular Mark V is to check which I/O
terminal board is in location 9 in the <R> core. TBQC I/O terminal boards in gas turbine and some medium steam turbine
applications share (connect in parallel) each of the 16 position feedback signals to all three control processors. TBQF I/O
terminal boards in large steam turbine and some medium steam turbine applications wire 27 of the 29 position feedback
signals directly to individual control processors. The remaining 2 position feedback signals are "shared" by their assigned
servo-valve output regulators in each control processor. Both methods, shared (connected in parallel) and individual position
feedback, are described below. (Some sites which have both types of turbines, gas and steam, may have both position
feedback methods. When troubleshooting, it is important to know which I/O terminal board is in use.)

Shared Position Feedback Signals

In a Mark V control panel with shared position feedback signals, all of the LVDT/LVDR feedback signals are connected in
parallel to the TCQA I/O card in each control processor. Each of the sixteen LVDT/LVDR position feedback signals (<R>
I/O terminal board TBQC, terminals 1 through 32, called POS01 through POS16, respectively) is assigned for use by the
regulator that is defined for a specific servo-valve output. The regulator sub-type number/letter for a particular servo-valve
output defines the type of shared position feedback signal assignment, and cannot be modified. The relationship between the
feedback signal and the servo-valve are outlined in the tables above. Depending on the regulator function type and sub-type,
a position regulator will use either the greater of two, the minimum of two, median of three, or only the first assigned
LVDT/LVDR feedback input.
Refer to Figure 7-10 for an example of shared LVDT/LVDR position feedback inputs to a Type 43 regulator function
defined for servo-valve output #4.
Shared Position Feedback Application Notes
1) Caution must be exercised when Type 49 regulator functions have been defined. When a Type 49 regulator function
is defined for servo-valve outputs 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, its third LVDT/LVDR feedback input will be of the feedback
inputs normally assigned to one of the other servo-valve outputs (see the tables above). Thus only five Type 49
regulators can be defined in one Mark V with shared position feedback inputs. Additionally, if a Type 49 regulator
function is defined for servo-valve outputs 2 or 4, regulator functions defined for servo-valve outputs 7 or 8 must
not require position feedback.
2) Only if a regulator does not require position feedback or only the first assigned feedback is used, the second
position feedback input is available for display or CSP functions.
Individual Position Feedback Signals
In a Mark V with individual position feedback signals, 27 of the possible 29 LVDT/LVDR feedback signals are connected to
only one of the three control processors, although all LVDT/LVDR feedback signals terminate in the <R> core on the TBQF
terminal board. The remaining two LVDT/LVDR feedback signals are connected in parallel to all three control processors.
The following chart gives the TBQF terminal screws for the position feedback signals.
Note the "numbering" of the individual position feedback signal inputs; they were numbered to maintain symmetry with the
shared position feedback signal inputs (POS1 & -2 for servo-valve output #1, and so on). Note also that the "second"
assigned LVDT/LVDR feedback signal input for servo-valve outputs 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, & 8 is shared by all three control
processors in a TMR control panel. Additionally, both LVDT/LVDR feedback signals for servo-valve output #3 are shared
by all three control processors in a TMR control panel. Servo-valve output #2 has only one LVDT/LVDR feedback signal.
An example of a Type 41 position control defined for servo-valve output #1 is shown in Figure 7-11.
Individual Position Feedback Application Notes
1) Only seven Type 41 regulators with individual position feedback signals can be defined; servo-valve output #3 does
not have three individual position feedback signal inputs.
2) Only six Type 43 or 44 regulators with individual position feedback signals can be defined; servo-valve output #2
does not have a second assigned position feedback and servo-valve output #3 has no individual position feedback
signals.

7-5.3. Digital Control Regulator Functions

The reference to these regulators is calculated in the CSP, written into the control signal database (CDB) by the control
processor, and read from the database by the digital regulator. The CSP often has longer time constant outer loops
(megawatt, temperature, mass flow or torque for example), so any inner loop disturbances will be cancelled out by the outer
loop(s).
The feedback signals, LVDT/LVDR, pulses, or analog voltages/currents are converted from an analog signal to a
proportional digital value by the TCQA card. The regulator then compares this digital value of feedback to a digital reference
to calculate the output (or error signal). As discussed above, the feedback device is selected via the regulator function subtype.
The digital output of these regulators is converted to a current to drive the servo-valve by digital to analog converters and
amplifiers. The range or magnitude of the actual servo-valve milliamp output is set using hardware jumpers on the TCQC
card in the control processor.
Type 6 and 7 regulators have integrating outer loops to increase the steady state gain and reduce error. Adjustments are
provided for rate of integration or lead time constant, depending upon the application.
7-5.3.1. REGULATOR FUNCTION TYPE 2 (Position control with cylinder and pilot valve position feedback) This
regulator function type is generally only used on GE-Fitchburg steam turbines which have low-pressure hydraulic servovalves and actuators with either one or two LVDT/LVDR(s) on the servo-valve pilot piston and either one or two
LVDT/LVDR(s) on the cylinder/actuator. Type 2 regulators (see Figure 7-12.) are two proportional (or straight gain)
position regulator loops in series, with a convergence function for TMR applications (to keep the output signals of all three
processors equal) and a lag (time delay) in the output signal. This lag helps to prevent the system from over compensating in
the event of a rapid feedback signal change. SIMPLEX applications will have the integrator convergence gain set to zero.
The outer loop is the actuator position regulator with the reference calculated in the CSP as described above. The output of
the actuator position regulator is the reference to the inner loop pilot valve position regulator. The output of the convergence
lag circuit is added or subtracted from the pilot valve loop output, which becomes the digital control regulators output
signal.
7-5.3.2. REGULATOR FUNCTION TYPE 4 (Position control with position feedback). The type 4 regulator functions
(see Figure 7-13) use position feedback signals from one or more LVDT/LVDRs (with the exception of type 40). These are
proportional or straight gain regulators that calculate the difference between the CSP calculated reference and the feedback to
determine a position error. The position error signal is then multiplied by a regulator gain. A current bias, which can be used
to overcome the mechanical bias of the servo-valve's fail-safe spring, is then added to the position error signal, which
becomes the digital control regulator's output signal.
7-5.3.3. REGULATOR FUNCTION TYPE 5 (Flow control with flow-rate feedback). The type 5 regulator functions (see
Figure 7-14) use flow-rate feedback signals from one or more speed pickups (usually magnetic). These are proportional or
straight gain regulators that calculate the difference between the CSP calculated reference and the feedback to determine a
flow-rate error. This error signal is then multiplied by a regulator gain. A current bias, which can be used to overcome the
mechanical bias of the servo-valve's fail-safe spring, is then added to the error signal, which becomes the digital control
regulator's output signal.
7-28
Application Manual
GEH-6195F
7-5.3.4. REGULATOR FUNCTION TYPE 6 (Flow control with flow-rate and position feedback). The Type 6 regulator
functions (see Figure 7-15) use flow-rate feedback signals from one or more speed pickups (usually magnetic) and position
feedback signals from one or two assigned LVDT/LVDRs for improved stability. The outer loop is a proportional plus
integral flow-rate regulator, comparing the flow-rate reference from the CSP to a flow-rate feedback defined by the regulator
sub-type. A convergence correction is added to the error signal for use in TMR applications to help balance the three
regulators. The output of the flow-rate loop is the reference to the inner straight gain actuator position loop. Simplex
applications will have the integrator convergence gain set to zero. The output of the actuator loop is then multiplied by a
regulator gain. A current bias, which can be used to overcome the mechanical bias of the servo-valve's fail-safe spring, is
then added to the digital output signal.
7-5.3.5. REGULATOR FUNCTION TYPE 7 (Pressure control with pressure and position feedback). The Type 7
regulator function (see Figure 7-16) uses a pressure feedback signal from one of the two possible pressure transducer inputs
and position feedback signals from one or two assigned LVDT/LVDRs for improved stability. The outer loop is an
integrating pressure regulator plus lead circuit which provides a high gain for high frequencies and a lower gain for lower
frequencies. A convergence correction is added to the error signal for use in TMR applications to help balance the three
regulators. Simplex applications will have the integrator convergence gain set to zero. The output of the pressure regulator is
the reference to the straight gain valve position regulator. The position error signal is then multiplied by a regulator gain. A
current bias, which can be used to overcome the mechanical bias of the servo-valve's fail-safe spring, is then added to the
digital error signal, which becomes the digital control regulator's output signal.
WARNING
The regulators defined above are carefully adjusted during the start-up phase. The digital regulators will not
drift or change with time. No further adjustment should be necessary. Incorrect adjustment could have
detrimental effects to system performance, possibly resulting in unstable or oscillatory conditions. Do not
adjust the control constants or I/O configurator settings without concurrence from GEDS or the turbine
vendor.

7-7. DEFINING REGULATORS IN THE I/O CONFIGURATOR

Regulator functions are defined for servo-valve outputs using the I/O Configurator. To define a regulator for a servo-valve
output or to modify the values (I/O Configuration Constants) used by a regulator, the TCQA Card Definition Screens of the
<Q> Configuration Menu of the I/O Configurator must be used.
Figure 7-25 shows a typical I/O Configurator Regulator Definition Screen (see Appendix B ) for servo-valve output #6.
Regulator Definition Screens can be divided into four regions. The first region includes the function type and sub-type field
and a value must be entered in this field for all servo-valve outputs. The second region includes the suicide enable and
current bias and gain fields. If a servo-valve output is being used, (that is, a value other than 00 has been entered for the
function type & sub-type) values must be entered in these fields. The third region includes the zero and 100% stroke voltage
values used to scale the first two of the possible assigned LVDT/R position feedback signals. If the regulator being defined
for the output does not use position feedback signals, no entry is required is these fields. (If the LVDT/LVDR position
feedback signal input is being used for some other purpose, then entries are required.) The fourth region includes any I/O
Configuration Constants required by a type 2, 6, or 7 regulator function's integrator. If the regulator function being defined
for the servo-valve output is one of the type(s) enclosed in the angle brackets, then entries are required in the fields. Each of
the various fields will be described below.

GEH-6195F
Application Manual
7-7.1. Function Type & Sub-type

The two-digit hexadecimal number of the desired regulator function type and sub-type for the servo-valve output are entered
here. If a servo-valve output is not used, it must have a regulator function type and sub-type 00 defined for it (to prevent
nuisance diagnostic alarms). Valid types/sub-types for each servo-valve output are listed on each output's regulator definition
screen. Appropriate cautions must be used when defining type 49 or type 2E regulators (see above).
7-7.2. Suicide Enable
There are two types of regulator suicides: a hardware suicide initiated when a current fault is detected and a software suicide
initiated when an LVDT/R feedback fault is detected. A servo-valve output current fault is defined as the condition when
either: 1) the called-for current output differs from the actual current output by more than 25% when the output is less than
80% of rated current, or 2) the called-for current output differs from the actual by more than 55% when the output is above
80% of rated current. (Whenever a servo-valve output current fault is detected, a Diagnostic Alarm to warn of the condition
is annunciated, even if the suicide is not enabled.) If the current fault suicide is enabled by entering YES in the appropriate
I/O Configurator field, a relay on the TCQA card will be de-energized and a pair of normally-closed contacts will short the
output's terminals together. It is important to note that there are only four servo-valve output shorting relays per TCQA card
for eight servo-valve outputs. Therefore, each shorting relay is used for a pair of servo-valve outputsthe pair associated
with each shorting relay depends on the revision of the TCQA card (refer to Tables 10 & 11, below). A current fault detected
on either output of a shorting relay will cause both outputs associated with the relay to be shorted.

An LVDT/LVDR fault is defined as the condition when the position feedback signal from one or more of the assigned
LVDT/LVDRs for the servo-valve output either: 1) drops below 0.38 Vac RMS, or 2) exceeds 6.44 Vac RMS. The detection
limits are not field-adjustable. (Whenever a servo-valve output LVDT/LVDR is detected, a Diagnostic Alarm to warn of the
condition is annunciatedeven if the suicide is not enabled.) If the LVDT/LVDR current fault is enabled by entering YES in
the appropriate I/O Configurator field, the output will be driven to 0.0 milliamps by software on the TCQA.

Application Manual
GEH-6195F
7-7.3. Current Bias and Current Gain

The current bias value of the servo-output's regulator is used to overcome the mechanical bias of the servo-valve's fail-safe
spring. (If all current to the servo-valve were suddenly shorted or removed, it is the function of the servo's fail-safe spring to
drive the device to the zero-flow or closed position.) In a TMR application, the value of the regulator's current bias should be
one-third that required to overcome the fail-safe spring's mechanical bias. The units for the current bias value are percent of
rated current.
The current gain of the servo-valve output's regulator is the gain of the regulator. The units for the current gain value are
percent of rated current (milliamps) per percent output.
7-7.4. Zero Stroke and 100% Stroke
Required only if the regulator uses LVDT/LVDR position feedback, the values entered in these fields are used to scale the
first two of the possible assigned LVDT/LVDR position feedback signals for the servo-valve output. In effect, these
determine the offset and gain values for scaling the first two of the possible assigned position feedback signals. These values
are site- and calibration-dependent and will change each time the LVDT/LVDR feedback signal(s) are re-calibrated. The
Auto-Calibrate function of the Mark V will automatically change these values during the calibration sequence. When
manually calibrating LVDT/LVDR position feedback signals, the measured values for the first two of the possible assigned
position feedback signals must be entered.) Note that when a type 49 or type 2E regulator is defined for a particular servovalve output, the other assigned LVDT/LVDR position feedback signal(s) zero and 100% stroke values will appear on a
different Regulator Definition Screen. Units for the entries in these fields are V ac RMS.
If the regulator defined for a particular servo-valve output does not use LVDT/LVDR position feedback, it is not necessary
to enter any values in these fields. If the regulator defined for a particular servo-valve output does not use LVDT/LVDR
position feedback but the second of the two possible assigned LVDT/LVDR position feedback inputs is being used for
another purpose (display/monitoring/logging), the measured voltages must be entered to scale the feedback signal for use.
7-7.5. Position Limits
Typically used to prevent regulator wind-up (sitting in a limit) and/or to limit the integrator function of type 2, 6, or 7
regulators, the values in these two fields (Low and High) are only required if the regulator being defined for the servo-valve
output is one of the type(s) enclosed in the angle brackets at the left of the line. (The regulator signal flow diagram
mnemonics for the low and high position limits are LLIM and HLIM, respectively.) The units for the position limits are
percent (128.0%), although servo-valve output currents are typically never expressed as being more than 100% or less than
-100%.
7-7.6. Integrator Convergence Gain
Used by the integrator function to prevent drift of the three output signals on a TMR control panel, the integrator
convergence gain is only required if the regulator being defined for the servo-valve output is one of the type(s) enclosed in
the angle brackets at the left of the line. (The regulator signal flow diagram mnemonic for the integrator convergence gain is
" K_Convergence ".)
7-45
GEH-6195F
Application Manual
7-7.7. Position Reference Gain

Used by the integrator to convert the input signal value's units to percent stroke and apply a gain to the function, the position
reference gain is only required if the regulator being defined for the servo-valve output is one of the type(s) enclosed in the
angle brackets at the left of the line. For a type 6 regulator function, the units of the position reference gain are percent stroke
per percent of rated flow. For a type 7 regulator, the units of the position reference gain are percent stroke per psi (in English
units; in metric units it would be percent stroke per bar). (The regulator signal flow diagram mnemonic for the position
reference gain is " K ".)
7-7.8. Position Reference Time Constant
Used by the integrator to determine the response time of the transfer function, the position reference time constant is only
required if the regulator being defined for the servo-valve output is one of the type(s) enclosed in the angle brackets at the
left of the line. (The regulator signal flow diagram mnemonic for the position reference time constant is " T ".)
7-7.9. Flow Control Regulator Flow Feedback Pulse Rate Definitions
Flow control regulators (type 5 or type 6) must have their pulse rate definition values specified in the I/O Configurator but on
a separate screen from the regulator definition screen. A typical Pulse Rate Definition screen is shown in Figure 7-26. MPU3
and MPU4 are the two flow control regulator pulse-rate feedback signal inputs. Each pulse rate input has three fields. Either
the type of input must be specified in the Application Type field or five dashes must be entered to indicate the input is not
being used (this is to prevent nuisance Diagnostic Alarms associated with the input). If the input is being used, then
appropriate values must be entered into the Gain Scaling Base and Max Pulse Rate fields. Each of the three fields will be
described below.

Application Manual
GEH-6195F
7-7.9.1. FLOW FEEDBACK PULSE RATE DEFINITION "APPLICATION TYPE" FIELD An entry in this field is required
even if the input is not being used and indicates which type of input signal is being connected. The four valid entries for this
field are "speed", "fuel", "pmg", and "-----" (five dashes). If the input is a magnetic speed pickup sensing
turbine shaft speed (such as for HP or LP shaft speed pickups which would normally be connected to MPU1 or MPU2) then
"speed" should be entered in the Application Type field. If the input is a magnetic speed pickup sensing liquid fuel flow
divider speed (or possibly a conditioned TTL input from a fuel flow meter) then "fuel" should be entered in the
Application Type field. If the input is from a permanent magnet generator being used to sense speed or flow-rate then
"pmg" should be entered in the Application Type field. If the input is not being used for any purpose then "-----"
(exactly five dashes) must be entered to prevent nuisance Diagnostic Alarms associated with the input from being
annunciated.
7-7.9.2. FLOW FEEDBACK PULSE RATE DEFINITION "MAX PULSE RATE" FIELD. For each input being used (no entry
in this field is required if the input is not being used) the pulse rate which will be produced by the device at the rated
operating speed or flow-rate of the device must be entered into this field. This is not necessarily the pulse rate produced at
the maximum expected speed or flow-rate. For example, the rated design speed of a single-shaft, heavy-duty Frame 6 gas
turbine is 5100 rpm. Typically, a 60-toothed wheel is used along with a magnetic speed pickup to provide the shaft speed
input signal to the Mark V, thus 1 Hz equals 1 RPM. However, when connected to a driven device through a reduction gear
the normal operating speed of the turbine might be 5134 RPM per the gear ratio. For such a unit, the appropriate Max
Pulse Rate value for the shaft speed pickup would be 5134. For the liquid fuel flow-divider pulse rate feedback input in
Figure 7-26 (MPU3), the pulse rate produced by the flow-divider at the unit's rated isobaric power output would be 3980 Hz,
even though on cold days the liquid fuel flow could produce a feedback signal in excess of 3980 Hz.
7-7.9.3. FLOW FEEDBACK PULSE RATE DEFINITION "GAIN SCALING BASE" FIELD. For each input being used (no
entry is required if the input is not being used) the power of 2 closest to but greater than the maximum expected pulse rate
which will be produced by the device must be entered into this field. For example, the liquid fuel flow-divider pulse rate
input in Figure 7-26 (MPU3) could be greater than 3980 Hz on a cold day. The nearest power of 2 (not multiple of 2) which
is closest to 3980 but greater than 3980 is 4096, but the maximum expected pulse rate from the flow divider could exceed
4096 Hz on a cold day. the next closest power of 2 greater than 4096 is 8192. Therefore, 8192 is the appropriate entry for the
Gain Scaling Base field in this example.
7-7.10. Pressure Control Regulator Pressure Transducer Feedback Signal Scaling

Pressure control regulators (type 7) must have their pressure transducer feedback signal scaling values specified in the I/O
Configurator, but on a separate screen from the regulator definition screen. A typical Voltage Input screen is shown in Figure
7-27. Values entered in the fields of the Voltage Input screen of the I/O Configurator are used to scale the pressure feedback
signal appropriately for use by the regulator.
It should be noted that Signals 1 & 2 refer to the three possible pressure transducer feedbacks for the two pressure feedback
inputs to a regulator. (Each control processor in a TMR control panel has its own individual pressure transducer inputs 1 &
2.) Signals 3 & 4 are voltage/current inputs which are not available for use as regulator feedback signal inputs. They are
individual inputs which are "fanned out" to all three control processors in a TMR control panel (<R> only in a SIMPLEX
panel).

7-7.10.1. VOLTAGE INPUT "SIGNAL IN USE" FIELD. For each regulator pressure feedback input (Signal 1 and Signal 2),
there are four fields. If either input is being used, YES must be entered in the Signal In Use field. If either input is not
being used, NO must be entered in order to prevent nuisance Diagnostic Alarms associated with the input from being
annunciated. If a signal is not being used, values in the other field need not be specified.

input point can be determined from the I/O assignment file; the maximum can usually be determined from information in the
beginning of the SCLEDATA.DAT file.) All values entered into any I/O Configurator field must be in English units.
Therefore, the usual entry in the Full Scale CDB Value field for pressure control regulator pressure feedback signals is 2048.
7-7.10.3. VOLTAGE INPUT "MIN (0V) CDB VALUE" FIELD. The Min (0v) CDB Value field entry must be the
minimum, or "zero", pressure transducer feedback signal value (in engineering units) which produces 0.0 Vdc at the I/O
terminal board terminals. This is the feedback scaling "offset" value. To calculate the Min (0v) CDB Value, the "gain"
(psi/Vdc) of the pressure transducer feedback signal at terminals on the TBQB I/O terminal board must be calculated using
the following formula:
where:
Calibrated Pressure Range=(Calibrated Full Scale Pressure)-(Calibrated Zero Scale Pressure)
Gain =
Calibrated Pressure Range

Calibrated Voltage Range
Calibrated Voltage Range=(Calibrated Full Scale Voltage)-(Calibrated Zero Scale Voltage)

Substituting the calculated gain of the pressure transducer feedback in the following formula will produce the Min (0v)
CDB Value:
Note the negative sign!
Min (0v) CDB Value = - [(I / O terminal board zero pressure voltage) x Gain]

GEH-6195F
For example, if a voltage pressure transducer calibrated for 0.0-5.0 Vdc @ 0.0-300.0 psi is being used for the pressure
control regulator pressure feedback input #1, the calibrated pressure range would be 300.0 psi (300.0 psi - 0.0 psi) and the
calibrated voltage range (at the TBQB I/O terminal board terminals 25 & 26) would be 5.0 Vdc (5.0 Vdc - 0.0 Vdc). The
gain would be 60.0 psi/Vdc (300.0 psi / 5.0 Vdc). Knowing the calculated gain, the entry in the Min (0v) CDB Value field
for Signal 1 would be 0.0 psi (-(0.0 Vdc * 60.0 psi/Vdc) ).The units are implied and must not be entered in the field with the
value.
4-to-20 mA pressure transducers can be used instead of voltage pressure transducers as pressure control regulator pressure
feedback inputs. When such a transducer is used, a hardware jumper must be installed which will place a 250 ohm dropping
resistor across the transducer feedback signal input terminals. A 4.0 mA current through a 250 ohm resistor will produce 1.0
Vdc at the TBQB I/O terminal board (the calibrated zero scale voltage), and a 20.0 mA current through a 250 ohm resistor
will produce 5.0 Vdc at the TBQB I/O terminal board terminals. This results in a calibrated voltage range of 4.0 Vdc. If a 4to-20 milliamp pressure transducer calibrated for 4-to-20 mA @ 0.0-300.0 psi were being used for the pressure control
regulator pressure feedback input #1, the calibrated pressure range will be 300.0 psi. Using the formula above, the entry in
the Min (0v) CDB Value field for Signal 1 would be -75.0 psi (-(1.0 Vdc * 75.0 Vdc) ). Again, the units are implied and
must not be entered in the field with the numeric value.
7-7.10.4. VOLTAGE INPUT. "MAX (10V) CDB VALUE" FIELD. The Max (10v) CDB Value field must be the
maximum pressure transducer feedback signal value, in engineering units, which produces 10.0 Vdc at the I/O terminal
board. The Mark V I/O Configuration software is expecting a 10.0 Vdc input at full-scale transducer output. To calculate the
Max (10v) CDB Value for a pressure control regulator pressure transducer feedback use the gain calculated when
determining the Min (0v) CDB value in the following formula:
Max (10v) CDB Value = (Gain x 10.0 Vdc) + (Min (0v) CDB Value)
Typically, the voltage transducers used on GEPG-provided heavy duty gas turbines have been 0.0-5.0 Vdc transducers. For
example, if a voltage transducer calibrated for 0.0-5.0 Vdc output @ 0.0-300.0 psi is being used for the pressure control
regulator pressure feedback input #1, the gain for Signal 1 would be 60.0 psi/Vdc and the Min (0v) CDB Value would
be 0.0 psi. Substituting these values into the formula above, the Max (10v) CDB Value would be 600.0 psi ( (60.0
psi/Vdc * 10 Vdc) + (-0.0 Vdc) ). The units are implied and must not be entered in the field with the numeric value.
If a 4-to-20 mA pressure transducer calibrated for an output of 4-to-20 mA @ 0.0-300.0 psi were being used for the pressure
control regulator pressure feedback input #1, the gain for Signal 1 would be 75 psi/Vdc and the Min (0v) CDB Value
would be -75.0 psi. Substituting these values into the formula above, the Max (10v) CDB Value would be 675.0 psi (
(75.0 psi/Vdc * 10.0 Vdc) + (-75.0 psi) ). The units are implied and must not be entered in the field with the numeric value.
7-7.11. Pressure Control Regulator Time Constant Data
All type 7 pressure control regulators have a variable integrator time constant. Values must be supplied in order for the I/O
Configuration software to calculate the regulator's variable integrator time constant (refer to Figure 7-28). Future Type 7
pressure control regulators may not have this variable integrator time constant feature and these I/O Configuration Constants
will not have to be supplied. These I/O Configuration Constants are determined by GEPG and/or its Business Associates and
should not be modified. If a type 7 pressure control regulator is required for an application and there is no information
available about time constants or the feature is not necessary, it can effectively be disabled by entering a value of 0.0 in the
SRV Warmup Time Constant field.

7-8. FLAME DETECTION (GAS TURBINES ONLY)

The flame detection system detects a flame in the gas turbine combustion cans and trips the turbine when improper
combustion is detected in the turbine firing chambers. Two principle requirements of the flame detection system are:
1.
To protect the turbine during startup.

During startup, the turbine fuel is ignited by spark plugs. These plugs are usually fired for one minute. By the end of
the firing time, the flame detector must sense the presence of flame in the combustion cans or the startup attempt
will be aborted, the fuel stop valve will close, the ignition circuits will de-energize, and the turbine will require a
shutdown before another start attempt.
2.
To protect the turbine against a flameout while running.

If flame is lost while the turbine is running, fuel will be shut off and the turbine will be tripped.
7-50
Application Manual
GEH-6195F
Ultraviolet flame detectors monitor flame in the combustion chamber by detecting the ultraviolet radiation emitted by the
flame. Each detector consists of a window body filled with hydrogen gas and a cathode element made of pure copper. When
flame is present in the combustion chamber, the energy present in the ultraviolet radiation of the flame ionizes the gas and
releases electrons from the pure copper cathode, causing a "cascade effect," and a pulse of current flows.
When ultraviolet radiation is present in the tube, the resulting gas ionization causes current to pass through it, discharging
(firing) the tube's capacitance. When the voltage across the tube is reduced sufficiently, the tube stops conducting. This
process is repeated as the voltage across the tube again starts to rise toward its "firing voltage." The voltage level at which
the tube fires is dependent upon the intensity of the ultraviolet light present. This process continues by giving out current
pulses from the tube as long as the ultraviolet (UV) light is present.
The Mark V core contains three independent, identical TCEA cards (<X>, <Y>, and <Z>) that have their own
processors and power supplies. The power supplies provide the 335 V dc excitation current for the detectors as well as the
control power for the card. Eight UV flame detectors can be connected to the core terminal boards. Each detector is
then internally parallel wired to each of the three cards. This redundancy exists in both the Mark V TMR and Simplex
systems (Simplex applications also have TMR emergency tripping, therefore, all Mark V systems will have three cards).
This design avoids the need for interposing transducers and separate 335 V excitation supplies.
The flame detection takes place in the core and sends the information to the control processors (<R>, <S>, <T>). The
CSP determines if and when to trip the PTRs. See the CSP and turbine vendor documentation for details.
Appendix D Figure D-63, shows a simplified diagram of the flame detector circuit and a table with terminal numbers, cable
and pin numbers, and Mark V names for flame intensity frequency, threshold values, and logic names for the output of the
detectors. The threshold is the number of pulses generated by the flame detectors in 1/16th of a second. The threshold values
are stored in the I/O configuration file, and should not be modified without direction from the manufacturer. The flame
intensity frequency (for example FD_INTENS_1) and logic names for the detector output can be displayed on the operator
interface .
7-9. VIBRATION MEASUREMENT AND PROTECTION
Three different types of vibration sensors can be directly connected to the Mark V control panel. These sensors or
transducers are mounted on several critical components of turbine and driven load to protect against long term excessive
vibration damaging the turbine or load.
Each sensor terminates on one set of terminal board points, and then is parallel wired via ribbon cables to each of the three
control processors. In TMR systems, a discrepancy between the three control processors inputs is alarmed as an internal
diagnostic fault message while the vibration protection system continues to perform its normal calculations based on the
median vibration signal.
7-51
GEH-6195F
Application Manual
7-9.1. Seismic (Velocity) Sensors

Normally, there are three to five transducers on the turbine which generate a small ac current by passing a magnet through a
fixed coil. The Mark V control processors interface directly with up to twelve vibration sensors or "pickups".
These sensors output a millivolt signal which is converted to a digital value proportional to vibration on the TCQA card in
each control processor. The control processor's CSP uses this information in controlling and protecting and the turbine. The
seismic vibration pickups are terminated in the Mark V on the TBQB I/O Terminal board in location 7 on the <R> core. The
signal from each pickup is paralleled ("fanned out") to all the control processors in the Mark V control panel via ribbon
cables from the TBQB card on <R> to the TCQA card in each control processor.
The types of sensor diagnostic alarms provided include:
1.
2.
Open sensor detection and alarm. A small dc current is continuously passed through the vibration sensor at all times
to detect a broken wire or other open input.
Disabled sensor alarm. Failed sensors can be manually disabled via the operator interface and will result in a
permanent alarm condition.
The vibration protection system will either trip or initiate a controlled shutdown of the turbine or generator under any one of
the following conditions:
1. A shutdown will occur if several sensors fail or are manually disabled. (The number of sensors varies with each
application, thus the number of sensors out of service before a shutdown occurs will vary.)
2. A trip will occur if a high level vibration is detected on any one sensor, and;
2a.
an adjacent pair of sensors is disabled or alarmed,
2b.
or
any other sensor is above the alarm limit.
2c.
or
two (2) or more sensor inputs are disabled.
Vibration inputs are monitored by the TCQA card which has a range of 0 to 0.75 v-peak and an input impedance of 100 to
2,000 ohms. Typical sensitivity ranges are 0.1 to 0.4 V peak-to-peak per inch per second.
7-9.1.1. CONFIGURING SEISMIC VIBRATION PICKUPS IN THE MARK V. Figure 7-29 is the I/O Configurator screen
which is used to enable the inputs disable diagnostic alarms associated with unused inputs, and to provide the I/O
Configuration Constants for scaling. Additional I/O Configuration information for seismic vibration pickup Diagnostic
Alarms must be entered also be entered on a separate screen (see Figure 7-30).
Transducer Used Field

If a seismic vibration pickup is connected to an input point, the value YES must be entered
into the Transducer Used field on the screen and the sensitivity of the pickup must be entered in the corresponding
Vibration Sensitivity field. If no pickup is connected to an input point, the value NO must be entered in the
Transducer used field to prevent diagnostic alarms associated with the unused input point from being annunciated. If
NO is entered under Transducer used, the value in the corresponding Vibration Sensitivity field is of no
consequence.
Vibration Sensitivity Field The value entered in the Vibration Sensitivity field is the sensitivity rating
of the velocity-type seismic vibration pickup, and must be in English engineering units (V/inch-per-second).
Seismic Vibr. Xdcr. Open Ckt. Field The entry in the Seismic Vibr. Xdcr. Open Ckt. field is the
voltage above which a Diagnostic Alarm indicating a seismic vibration pickup open circuit condition exists (for all seismic
vibration pickups). In order to accurately calculate this value, the pickup's characteristics must be known, particularly the
maximum expected resistance of the pickup circuit at maximum running ambient temperatures. The formula for calculating
the value will be displayed on the appropriate TCQA I/O Configurator screen.

7-9.2. Accelerometer Inputs

Accelerometers are used to monitor vibration on aircraft derivative gas turbines. The charge amplifiers, which are located on
the turbine base, feed a velocity signal to the TBQD termination card. Three accelerometers can be monitored. Internal
tracking filters are used to select the appropriate frequencies which result in alarm and trip protection of the turbine.
The Mark V is capable of both exciting accelerometer vibration sensors and scaling accelerometer feedback signals. The first
three proximity transducer/accelerometer input points to the TCQB I/O card (PRX01, PRX02, and PRX03) can be used as
accelerometer inputs (this involves setting I/O Configuration Constants and positioning hardware jumpers on the TCQB card
to accept accelerometer inputs rather than proximity transducer inputs). Configuring the Mark V to scale accelerometer input
signals involves entering information on two I/O Configurator screens; refer to figures 7-31 and 7-32.
Prox Chan 1 to 3 Device type Field The first three vibration input points to the TCQB card can be configured
to accept/scale the input signals from either proximity transducers or accelerometers. This involves defining the appropriate
I/O Configuration Constants and setting hardware jumpers on the card. The entry in the Prox Chan 1 to 3 Device
type field defines the input point as either being from a proximity transducer or from an accelerometer. When defining one
or more of the first three vibration inputs to the TCQB card as an accelerometer input, the value must be entered into the
appropriate field(s) on the TCQB vibration proximity transducer shaft location assignment screen.
HP, IP, and LP rpm max scaling value Fields The entry in each of the three rpm maximum scaling value
fields in Figure 7-31 must be a power of 2 greater than the highest expected shaft speed for the high (HP), intermediate(IP)
and low (LP) pressure shafts of the turbine when accelerometers are being connected to the Mark V. These entries are not
related to the highest expected frequency from the shaft speed pickups, but the highest expected scaled shaft speed feedback
signals. Entries in these fields are of no consequence when proximity transducers are defined for the inputs.
7-54
Application Manual
GEH-6195F
7-9.3. Proximity Transducer Inputs

Proximity transducers use radio frequency waves to measure distance between an object and the probe. The transducer's
output is a voltage signal inversely proportional to this distance. The ac component of the transducer's output is interpreted
as vibration, while the dc component is interpreted as a change in position.
The optional Mark V proximity transducer inputs provide a direct three wire interface to the proximity transducer for
monitoring, alarm and trip. The number of probes each Mark V has the capability to interface with changes with the
application, but typically values are:
18 vibration inputs
10 position inputs
2 key phasor inputs
Each proximity transducer receives -24 V dc power from the Mark V. The vibration inputs produce a dc voltage with an ac
component which must be within 3 ac V peak-to-peak and -2 to -18 V dc. Each input terminates on a single termination point
and is then internally parallel wired with ribbon cables to the TCQB cards in control processors <R>, <S>, and <T> for TMR
or <R> for Simplex. A discrepancy between the three control processor inputs is alarmed as an internal diagnostic fault
message while the protection system continues to perform its normal calculations based on the correct median signal. The
Mark V gas turbine Simplex is the only application where additional panel size may be required for additional terminal
boards for these inputs.
Typical applications for proximity transducers are:
Vibration - For steam turbine generators rotating at speeds above 500 rpm, these proximity inputs measure the
peak-to-peak radial displacement of the journal (that is. the shaft motion in the bearing) in one or two radial direction(s).
This system uses a non-contacting probe(s) and proximity transducers(s) and results in alarm, trip, and fault detection.
Axial Position - A probe is mounted in a bracket assembly off the thrust bearing casing to observe the motion of a collar
on the turbine rotor. This system uses non-contacting probes and proximity transducers and results in thrust bearing
wear alarm, trip, and fault detection. Two and three channel systems are available.
Differential Expansion - The rotor temperature changes faster than the turbine shell due to smaller mass, higher heat
transfer coefficients and almost total immersion in the steam path. This results in expansion of the rotor and shell at
different rates. The turbine shell is free to expand axially away from where it is keyed to the foundation, and the turbine
rotor is free to expand axially away from its thrust bearing. The detection of this differential expansion utilizes
non-contacting probes and proximity transducers and results in alarm, trip, and fault detection for excessive expansion in
either direction.
Eccentricity - A probe is mounted at least 18 inches away from the bearing centerline and continuously up-dates the
steam turbine control via a proximity transducer while the turbine is on the turning gear. Alarm and fault indications are
provided.
The input signals from proximity transducer (and associated key phasor) inputs will be wired to the TBQD I/O terminal
board on location 7 on the <S> processor and will be paralleled (fanned out) to all the control processors via ribbon cables to
the TCQB card in each control processor. The first eighteen proximity transducer input points are designated for vibration
sensor inputs (PRX01 - PRX18); the next ten proximity transducer input points are designated for axial position/differential
expansion sensor inputs; and the last two proximity transducer input points are designated for key phasor inputs. Several
TCQB I/O Configurator screens are used to configure proximity transducer inputs, depending on the type of input signal
(that is, vibration, axial position/differential expansion, or key phasor).
Proximitor Shaft Location Assignments Fields Figure 7-33 is the TCQB I/O Configurator screen used to set
the shaft assignments for the proximity transducers. Valid entries for the field for each input are HP, IP, LP, and -(HP stands for high-pressure shaft, IP for intermediate-pressure shaft, LP for low-pressure shaft, and -- for not used).
For example, in Figure 7-33 vibration proximity transducer input #1 is connected to a sensor mounted on a high-pressure
7-55
GEH-6195F
Application Manual
turbine shaft bearing, therefore HP is entered in the field for the #1 input, meaning that the input signal will be filtered using
the HP shaft speed.
Note that proximity transducer inputs 1, 2, and 3 may be used for accelerometer-type vibration inputs from an aeroderivative gas turbine. The HP shaft input will usually be connected to input #1, the IP shaft (if present) to input #2, and the
LP shaft to input #3. If accelerometer inputs are used, then -- (exactly two dashes) must be entered in the shaft location
assignment fields. Also note there are hardware jumpers on the TCQB card which must be put in the proper position for
inputs 1, 2, & 3, depending on whether proximity transducers or accelerometers are connected to the inputs. When defining
one or more of the first three vibration inputs to the TCQB card as a proximity transducer input, the value PROX must be
entered into the Prox Chan 1 to 3 Device type field on the TCQB configuration screen.
The process of configuring vibration proximity transducer inputs must be completed by filling in the appropriate information
in the screens shown in Figure 7-34.
Proximitors :- Peak to Peak Vibration Transducer Sensitivity Fields The vibration proximity
transducers' nameplate sensitivity must be entered in the transducer sensitivity fields shown in Figure 7-34 in order for the
I/O Configuration software to scale the input voltage appropriately. The value must be entered using English engineering
units, V/0.001 inch, or V/mil. Enter only the numeric value, units are not necessary.
Proximitor low (or high) limit diag: Fields Two fields are shown in Figure7-34 in which voltage values
corresponding to low and high limits for Diagnostic Alarms (indicating out-of-rage conditions) are entered. Common
proximity transducers normally have an output range of -20.0 Vdc to -2.0 Vdc, with a typical voltage output of -10.0 Vdc
when properly installed and the shaft is at rest. Values in these fields will determine when the out of limits Diagnostic Alarm
for the first eighteen proximity transducer inputs will be annunciated (these two values are for all of the first eighteen
proximity transducer inputs).
Proximitors :- Position Inputs Transducer Sensitivity Fields Axial Position/Differential
Expansion proximity transducer input points 19 through 28 are designated for use as either axial position or differential
expansion inputs. The transducer's sensitivity, from the manufacturer's nameplate, must be entered in this field as shown in
Figure 7-34 for each input point to which a transducer is connected in order for I/O Configuration software to scale the input
voltage appropriately. The value must be entered using English engineering units, V/0.001 inch, or V/mil.
Proximitors :- Position Inputs Position Offset Fields The entries in the position offset fields of
Figure 7-34 will be dictated by the application. The offset setting is the zero position, at rest position, or starting position.
The value must be entered using English engineering units, 0.001 inch, or mils.
Proximitor low (or high) limit diag: Fields Two fields are shown at the bottom of Figure 7-34 in which
voltage values corresponding to low and high limits for Diagnostic Alarms (indicating out-of-rage conditions) are entered.
Common proximity transducers normally have an output range of -20.0 Vdc to -2.0 Vdc, with a typical voltage output of 10.0 Vdc when properly installed and the shaft is at rest. Values in these fields will determine when the "out of limits"
Diagnostic Alarm for proximity transducer input points 19 through 28 will be annunciated (these two values are for all
proximity transducer input points 19 through 28).
Proximitor Keyphasor Inputs Transducer Sensitivity Field Proximity transducer input points 29 and
30 are designated for use as keyphasor (shaft speed sensor) inputs. The transducer's sensitivity, from the manufacturer's
nameplate, must be entered in this field for each input point to which a transducer is connected in order for I/O Configuration
software to scale the input voltage appropriately and recognize the shaft's rotation indicator. The value must be entered using
English engineering units, V/0.001 inch, or V/mil.
Proximitor Keyphasor Inputs Position Offset Field The entry in the position offset field of Fig. 7-34
for keyphasor inputs will be determined by field/Customer personnel as it must be the unit's desired offset in its zero speed
condition. As of this writing, the value must be entered using English engineering units, 0.001 inch, or mils.
Proximitor Keyphasor Inputs Low and High Diag: Field Two fields are shown at the bottom of Figure 734 in which voltage values corresponding to low and high limits for Diagnostic Alarms (indicating out-of-range conditions)
7-56

are entered. Common proximity transducers normally have an output range of -20.0 Vdc to -2.0 Vdc, with a typical voltage
output of -10.0 Vdc when properly installed. When entering a value in these fields, the negative voltage sign is implied and
must not be entered with the value. Values in these fields will determine when the out of limits Diagnostic Alarm for
proximity transducer input points 29 and 30 will be annunciated (these two values are for both proximity transducer input
points 29 and 30). Note that the value in the high limit field is in excess of the usual -20.0 Vdc; this is to disable the
Diagnostic Alarm when key phasors are connected because of their tendency to saturate when the shaft rotation indicator
passes.

7-10. SYNCHRONIZING (Generator Drive Turbines Only)

The Mark V synchronizing system consists of synchronizing (sync) check protection and automatic sync. Two single phase
potential transformer outputs (115 V ac nominal) are connected to the PTBA termination board on the core, then go to
the TCEA card in where isolation transformers reduce this nominal 115 V ac input to 5 V ac. The TCEA cards in 
digitize these signals and perform the automatic sync function, while the IOMA card(s) in the <R>, <S>, and <T>
Controllers (or <R> in Simplex) perform the sync check function. Manual sync is performed remotely and can include the
sync check feature as described herein.
During automatic synchronization the control sequence program performs speed matching and voltage matching at either a
fast or slow rate depending on the difference between line frequency and generated frequency. The slow rate is used when
the difference between frequencies is small to help eliminate overshoot. Voltages and frequencies are measured by zero
voltage crossing techniques and the control sequence program confirms the following permissive are met: under and over
voltage and frequency of the generator, under and over voltage and frequency of the line, and differential between the line
and generated voltages.
A normally open contact on the power circuit breaker (ANSI designation 52G) is monitored to measure the time that it
actually takes to close the breaker. This time is used for self adaptive adjustment of the breaker closure time anticipation
constant and diagnostics. Two sets of breaker data can be maintained for power systems that require two synchronization
points. Limits are set for the circuit breaker close time. If these limits are exceeded, a diagnostic alarm will be annunciated on
the .
Three Mark V internal functions must be satisfied before a breaker close command is issued:
1. Synchronize permissive or complete sequence from <R>, <S>, and <T>. (25P)
2. Sync check from <R>, <S>, and <T>. (25X)
3. Automatic synchronization signal from <X>, <Y>, <Z> (TCEA cards) in . (25)
Synchronize permissive items may change with the application, but typically include such things as:
1. automatic synchronization selected,
2. dead bus closure selected,
3. field breaker closed,
4. unit at approximately synchronous speed,
5. turbine startup sequence is complete,
6. no remote sync inhibits are present.
7-10.1. Sync Check (25X)
An output from <R>, <S>, and <T> that is voted on at the output card (TCTx), sync check has an adjustable window inside
which a breaker close is permitted. The following parameters must be within the limits programmed for a particular
application to get a sync check output:

value of 30 degrees)

7-10.2. Automatic Sync
The automatic sync signal is calculated in each of the three TCEA cards from independently derived data similar to the sync
check. In addition the four defined above, the TCEA cards also take into account the following when calculating the breaker
close signal:

Hz, 0.24 seconds at 50 Hz)
closure will take place at a positive slip (that is, before 12 o'clock on the sync scope)
Remember each TCEA card calculates its own breaker close signal based on data it derives separately. The result of these
calculations is voted on the output card TCTx. Two out of three TCEA cards must agree for the 25 relay (ANSI designation)
to energize and close a contact to close the power circuit breaker.
Figure 7-36 is a functional diagram of the auto synch circuit. The diagram helps describe what hardware and software
signals are invloved in determining what picks up the 25 relay.
CAUTION
The contact output to the generator breaker is rated to make and carry 10 amperes at 125 V dc;
however, it is only rated to interrupt 0.5 amperes at 125 V dc. Consequently, it is imperative to
interrupt the breaker close coil with an external device, normally a normally closed (NC) auxiliary
contact of the breaker itself.
The automatic sync system has a Monitor Mode of operation. In this mode (selected with the operator interface) the
automatic sync system functions normally except final output is disabled. This causes the system to automatically speed
match and voltage match but inhibit actual synchronization until the operator observes all of the key sync parameters on the
.

7-11. SHAFT VOLTAGE AND CURRENT MONITOR INPUTS

The Mark V is capable of accepting voltage inputs from shaft voltage and current monitors that monitor ac and dc voltages
and ac and dc currents which might be present or develop on the turbine and/or generator shaft(s). Appendix B, section B-8
is the I/O Configurator screen used to define the I/O Configuration Constants which are used by the I/O Configuration
software to scale the voltage input signal(s) proportional to shaft voltage and/or current. The values shown in B-8 are
provided for units having the optional shaft voltage and current monitor functions. The following values scale the input
signals (typically they are voltages) prior to being written into the control signal database where they are used by the shaft
voltage/current monitor software. Consult GEDS or the turbine vendor before changing these values.
Full Scale CDB Value Field The value in this field is the maximum CDB value for the scale type chosen for the
input (the scale type assigned in the scale column of the unit-specific IO.ASG file). Since shaft voltage and current monitor
inputs are usually between 0.0 and 16.0 V dc, the usual CDB scale type selected for these inputs is V32 which has a
maximum CDB value of 32.00 V dc.
Min (0v) CDB Value Field This is the minimum, or zero voltage, value for the input in V dc (typically 0.0 V dc) used
to scale the input signal prior its value being written into the control signal database.
Max (16v) CDB Value Field This is the maximum, or full-range, value for the input in V dc (typically 16.0 V dc) used
to scale the input signal prior its value being written into the control signal database.
7-12. POWER LOAD UNBALANCE
The Power Load Unbalance (PLU) option is used on Large Steam Turbines to protect the machine from overspeed under
load rejection. It looks for an unbalance between mechanical and electrical power. This function initiates Control Valve (CV)
and Intercept Valve (IV) fast closing actions under load rejection conditions where rapid acceleration could lead to an
overspeed event. Valve actuation does not occur under stable fault conditions that are self-clearing (such as grid faults).
The PLU function is enabled through the I/O Configurator Editor as follows:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Exit to the Main Menu and select the I/O Configurator Editor option.
Select the <Q> Configuration Menu (from the bottom of the display).
Click on the "TCPA" I/O card target (the card's revision information is shown).
Select the "Next Screen" (from the bottom of the display). The screen in Figure 7-38 is displayed.
Select the "Enable PLU Function" option by clicking on the YES/NO command target. Selection is
indicated by a change in the target's color: light blue = deselected, white = selected). Click on the target until it
reads "YES."
Valve action occurs when the difference between turbine power and generator load is approximately 40% of rated load or
greater, and the load is lost at a rate equivalent to going from rated to zero load in approximately 35 milliseconds (or less).
The 40% PLU level setting is standard. If it becomes necessary to deviate from this setting for a specific unit, the fact will be
noted by the unit-specific documentation. This constant may be adjusted from the same I/O Configurator screen that is used
to enable the PLU function. To change the PLU level setting, follow steps 1-4 and then select "PLU unbalance
threshold." Enter the desired value using the keyboard.
Turbine mechanical power is derived from a milliamp reheat steam pressure signal. The generator load is assumed to be
proportional to the sum of the three phase currents, thereby discriminating between load rejection and power line faults. This
discrimination would not be possible if a true Megawatt signal was used.
7-63
GEH-6195F
Application Manual
Figure 7-38. I/O Configurator Screen Showing PLU Configuration

The PLU signal actuates the CV and IV fast closing solenoids and resets the Load Reference signal to the no-load value (and
performs some auxiliary functions).
CAUTION
The PLU function is an important part of the overspeed protective system. Do not disable during turbine
operation.
The three current signals from the station current transformers are reduced by three auxiliary transformers, conditioned and
digitized by the PTBA, TCEB, and TCPA printed circuit cards. These signals are summed and compared to the power
pressure signal from the reheat pressure sensor. The signals are qualified according to the "PLU current ratio" and
"PLU rated reheat pressure" inputs respectively (see Figure 7-38). This comparison yields a qualified unbalance
measure of the PLU (see Figure 7-39, signal B). The output of the total generator current is also fed into the current rate
amplifier. This comparison provides a measure of the rate of change of the generator current (see Figure 7-39, signal A).
7-64
Application Manual
GEH-6195F
The current rate level may be adjusted through the "PLU rate threshold" function of the I/O Configurator screen
shown in Figure 7-38. Selections for this function are High, Medium, and Low. These settings correspond to 50, 35, and 20
millisecond rates respectively.
If these comparators operate simultaneously, PLU action is initiated and latched, making continuation of the PLU action
dependent only on the unbalance for all functions except IV fast closing. The IVs do not lock in, but remain closed for
approximately one second and then begin to re-open regardless of PLU duration.
A time-delay may be implemented for the PLU function. To initiate the delay, select Enable PLU response delay
option (see Figure 7-38) and change the command target to read YES. The duration of the time-delay can be adjusted by
altering the value supplied to the PLU delay option.
The IVs and CVs may be operated through test signals from the Control Sequence Program (CSP). These signals are
executed individually and are logic ORed with the above signals. The IVs may also be driven by the Early Valve Actuation
(EVA) and IV Trigger (IVT) functions. Each solonoid has a unique drop-out point delay. These values are tabulated as

7-12.1. Intercept Valve Trigger

The peak speed following rejection of 10% or greater rated load cannot be maintained within limits on some units by the
normal speed and servo control action. Approximately 70% of turbine power is generated in the Reheat and Low Pressure
turbine sections (the boiler re-heater volume represents a significant acceleration energy source). Fast closing of the IVs can
therefore quickly reduce turbine power and peak overspeed. The action fulfills the first basic function of normal overspeed
controllimiting peak speed. The IVT signal is produced in the CSP as a result of the IVT algorithm and associated
sequencing. Information on this function can therefore be found by examining the CSP documentation. The IVT signal is
shown in Figure 7-40.
7-12.2. Early Valve Actuation (EVA)
The EVA function may be implemented on sites where instability, such as loss of synchronization, presents a problem. An
active controlling device, EVA closes the IVs for approximately one second upon sensing a fault that is not a load rejection.
This action reduces the available mechanical power, thereby inhibiting the loss of synchronization that can occur as a result
of increased machine angle (unbalance between mechanical and electrical power). If the fault persists, the generator loses
synchronization and the turbine is tripped by the overspeed control or out-of-step relaying.
Figure 7-42. I/O Configuration Screen Depicting EVA Configuration Information

The EVA is enabled by selecting Next Screen from the Configurator screen shown in Figure 7-38. The screen in Figure
7-42 is revealed. Type YES, on the Enable EVA function command targets. The conditions for EVA action are as
follows:
1.
The difference between mechanical power (reheat pressure) and electrical power (megawatts) exceeds the I/O
Configurator EVA unbalance threshold input value.
7-69
GEH-6195F
2.
Application Manual
Electrical power (megawatts) decreases at a rate equivalent to (or greater than) one of three rates defined via the I/O
Configurator function (EVA megawatt rate threshold). This value is adjustable according to three
settings: HIgh, MEdium, and LOw. These settings correspond to 50, 35, and 20 millisecond rates respectively.
NOTE
The megawatt signal is derived with voltage and current signals provided by customer-supplied
transformers located on the generator side of the circuit breaker.
The EVA unbalance threshold value represents the largest fault a particular generator can sustain without losing
synchronization. Although the standard setting for this constant is 70%, it may be adjusted up or down 0 to 2 per unit as
indicated by the I/O Configurator screen in Figure 7-42. Refer to Figure 7-41 for a block diagram description. All EVA
events are annunciated.
7-13. AUTOMATIC TURBINE STARTUP
Automatic Turbine Startup (ATS) monitors the turbine and, if in automatic mode, provides thermal stress based control of
Fossil Steam Turbine startups. It also generates recommendations for use by an operator. ATS is a cost option requiring
additional hardware on the turbine in addition to software described herein.
This document covers configuration and use of the ATS product. For information on the cause and effect of thermal stress
and the rationale for Turbine Automatic Control, refer to the GE document GEK-92609, Thermal Stress Control.
The details of ATS have been broken into several sections. Functions cover the details of what each component of ATS
provides and refers to the Control Constants and I/O Requirements sections when discussing specific signals and their use.
The Control Constants section, Appendix F, discusses the general approach used with constants and each individual signal.
I/O Requirements, also in Appendix F, lists each I/O point and covers how each is used.
7-13.1. Modes of Operation
ATS has two modes of operation, Monitor and Control. Monitor is the default mode of operation. The turbine is controlled
by the operator, while recommendations, alarms and events are generated by ATS. Control mode of operation is entered if
the operator selects Automatic. When in Automatic, ATS controls certain aspects of the turbine, explained in the Functions
section. All features of Monitor mode continue in Control mode. Provisions have been made for ATS to transfer to SemiAutomatic and leave Control mode. This will happen when stable conditions for control by ATS are not met. Refer to
Scheduling under the Functions section for more information.
7-13.2. Functions
Functions in ATS may run, based on scheduling and turbine conditions. Functions can also be disabled by control constant
settings. This is covered in detail for each ATS function.
Each function runs at one of four predetermined rates. These rates are base, fast, slow, and fundamental. Base rate functions
run once per second, the base cycle time of ATS. Fast rate functions run once every four seconds, while slow rate functions
run once every fifteen seconds. Fundamental rate functions run once per minute.
The functions of ATS produce alarms and events based on turbine conditions. The alarms and events can produce holds
when the turbine is running in automatic. Holds in the system are triggered by the Hold List function; refer to the
Maintenance Manual, GEH-5980, Chapter 4 for additional details.
7-70
Application Manual
GEH-6195F
7-13.3. Scheduling
The scheduling function monitors turbine conditions, control constants and elapsed time to determine if and when the other
functions are to run. Key to scheduling are the critical control constants. If any of them are unacceptable values, no other
functions will be scheduled to run. Refer to the Control constants section in Appendix F for details of the critical control
constants.
Scheduling is responsible for determining whether the stress calculations are stable. This is based on the amount of time the
calculations have been able to run and the temperature differentials from the last known calculations. Also provided is the
minutes remaining until stress calculations are stable. If thermocouple data is bad, stress calculations are not considered
stable.
This is a base rate function and is always enabled.

7-13.4. Rotor Stress
This function provides three fundamental pieces of rotor data on which most recommendations and decisions are based: bore
temperatures, surface stresses and bore stresses. Distinct geometric and material factors for the different locations in the
turbine are represented by various control constants. Also, a special sign convention is used for thermal stresses. Positive
values represent heating and negative values cooling.
An indicator of the severity of a thermal cycle from heating through cooling is derived. Also, the accumulation of results
from each thermal cycle is kept. These measurements of the cyclic life expenditure are calculated in percentage of available
life of the rotor.
Bore stress excursions are when bore stress limits are exceeded. Counters of bore stress excursions are recorded by this
function. The severity of the excursion is registered by three zones.
To accurately calculate stresses and rotor bore temperatures, this function needs at least one hour of uninterrupted rotor
surface temperature history. This duration is adjusted by the stabilization time control constant KSTABL_TM.
Bore temperatures are used to determine the need for and progress of rotor prewarming. They are also used to determine the
allowable bore stress. Comparison of the rotor stresses with allowable stress limits determines acceleration rates, speed
holds for heat soaking and loading rate calculations.
This is a fundamental rate function and is enabled as long as the thermocouple data has been good for a period longer that the
time defined by the startup time control constant KSTART_TM.

7-13.5. Preparation for Rolloff

This function is mainly concerned with rotor prewarming and chest warming. If gives guidance to an operator, but takes no
action other than to request holds if conditions dictate.
Turbine rotor prewarming is considered to be a manual operation which can be done with some computer guidance as to
prewarming progress. The purpose is to assure that the rotor bore material has enough ductility for the centrifugal stresses
during acceleration to high hold speed. After all three minimum temperatures have been reached and the rotor warming
mode has been turned off, chest warming and proper warming rate should be selected on the control panel. Rotor
prewarming holds are enabled with the control constant KLRTR_PWRM.
Chest warming consists of two phases, control valve chest pressurization and heat soaking. First it is determined if slow
chest pressurization is required or if the stop valve internal bypass valve can be opened rather fast by selecting the proper
warming rate. It is determined if chest warming continues satisfactorily or if the difference between inner and outer wall
temperatures is large enough to warrant a hold in chest warming. If the chest pressure reaches 85% of main steam pressure,
the pressurization phase of chest warming is finished and the heat soaking phase will begin in this second phase. The control
valve chest is ready for turbine rolloff if the differences between main steam temperature and chest outer wall temperature
and between inner and outer wall temperatures have decayed sufficiently enough to prevent any excessive temperature
differences across the chest wall during turbine acceleration. Chest warming holds are enabled with the control constant
KLCST_PWRM.
High stress holds will occur if the surface of bore stresses exceed 50%. They can be suppressed with the control constant
KLPRE_STRS.
This function also calculates several values to help the operator in determining the progress of warming of the rotor and
chest. They are heating rates, main steam to outer control valve temperature differential and target as well as chest to main
steam pressure ratio.
This is a fast rate function. It is enabled when the breaker is open and the turbine is below rolloff speed. However, there are
several control constants to disable portions of the function.

7-13.6. Acceleration
This function controls the speed and acceleration rate selections of the turbine while in Control Mode, in accordance with
prewarming requirements and thermal stress level limitations. Recommendations are determined in both modes of operation.
Acceleration also calculates lookahead stresses, but the values are only displayed while close to speed targets.
Acceleration may request speed holds to conduct heat soaks. This is to reduce thermal stresses in the rotor, and if necessary,
to permit the proper warming of the generator field. Lookahead stresses may also cause speed holds due to steam to metal
temperature mismatches. This is to limit thermal stresses when accelerating to speed targets.
This is a fast rate function and is enabled when the breaker is open and the turbine is above rolloff speed..

7-13.7. Loading Rate

This function calculates the loading rate used during automatic loading. The rate of change of rotor stresses and steam
temperatures and the level of rotor stresses are used to calculate a loading rate such that turbine rotor stresses are not
exceeding limits. The maximum allowable loading rate is limited by the operator selected loading rate.
During load increase and below 10% of rated load, loading rate is limited to the initial loading rate. The initial loading rate
constitutes a loading rate the turbine will be able to sustain over the entire loading range with conservative margin.
The calculated loading rate constitutes an optimal loading rate. Exceeding the calculated loading rate during manual or
automatic operation will lead to over stressing of the turbine rotors. Customers should use the calculated loading rate for
manual operation and variable boiler pressure operation.
This is a slow rate function and is enabled when the breaker is closed and the turbine is above rolloff speed.

7-13.8. Loading Monitor

This function monitors turbine conditions and requests load holds if deemed necessary. It also will request a transfer to
forward flow if the correct conditions are met.
Load holds can be suppressed when below a minimum percent load by use of control constants. The control constant
KLMIN_LOAD enables the suppression and the control constant KMIN_LOAD determines the percentage below which no
hold will be requested.
A load hold will be requested if control or stop valve temperature differentials are beyond allowable limits. This request can
be suppressed with the control constant KLTMP_LOAD. High stresses will also cause a load hold to be requested.
Requests to transfer to forward flow will only be issued when intercept value references are greater than 50% and rotor
stresses are within acceptable ranges to not cause excessive stress when the transfer occurs.
This is a fast rate function and is enabled when the breaker is closed and the turbine is above rolloff speed..

It is necessary to calculate the field temperature if one is not provided. If LCALC_TEMP is TRUE, the field temperature
will be calculated. If the calculated field temperature exceeds the field temperature limit, a hold will be requested.

Outputs:
Same as Inputs.
7-13.11. Admission Mode Selection

The AMS function is used to control rotor stresses at HP (High Pressure) 1st stage outlet. AMS will transfer between FA
(full arc) and PA (partial arc) whenever rotor stresses have to be limited, and such action is thought to be of value as
described below. After startups and load changes, except for complete shutdowns or permanent operation below a load of
10% of rated MW load, AMS will transfer to PA at a selected rate of change of admission mode reference. Different levels
of HP rotor stresses have been considered.
The admission mode will be changed using the following logic, considering different turbine operation.
1) Startup and Loading
a) Below and equal to 10% load always in FA.
b) Above 10% rated load, admission mode will be changed to limit HP 1st stage rotor stresses.
c) Above 80% of target load, any further transfer to FA is prevented because it is unnecessary.
d) After Target Load is reached, transfer to PA per 2d
2) Major Load Increase ( >= 40% load )
a) Operator could transfer to FA at slow transfer rate at least 30 minutes before the start of a load increase to keep
stress generated during transfer to a minimum.
b) If not at FA at start of load increase, transfer to FA will be initiated under AMS stress control with maximum
transfer rate of 10% per minute.
c) Above 80% of target load, see 1c.
d) After target load is reached, transfer to PA is initiated.
3) Minor Load Increase ( < 40% load )
This load change is so small that the normal stress control with AMS is not required. AMS will be programmed to
stay at the current admission mode or transfer to PA, if required by AMS stress control. No transfer to FA for HP
rotor heating occurs.
4) Shutdown
a) For shutdown the operator could select 10% or less for target load.
b) For shutdown or continuous operation below 10% load, both will be in FA.
c) Initialization is described in 5a.
7-75
GEH-6195F
Application Manual
5) Major Load Decrease ( >= 40% load )

a) Initially a transfer to FA will be made. If the initial admission mode is FA, it should stay in FA. For this initial
transfer, a control stress lower stress limit of a smaller value will be used and the transfer rate will be set to only
10% per minute to prevent excessive stress levels.
b) Unloading will occur in FA.
c) After target load is reached and this target load is above 10%, a transfer to PA will be implemented. PA is
desired because of the better heat rate.
6) Minor Load Decrease ( < 40% load )
This load change is so small that normal stress control with AMS is not required. AMS will be programmed to stay
at the current admission mode. Excessive HP rotor stresses during small load reductions are less likely because
during unloading, boilers will generate approximately constant throttle temperatures.
This function should not be entered if the turbine has one or two admissions only because the benefits of using AMS for
rotor stress control are negligible.
This is a slow rate function and is enabled when the breaker is closed and the turbine is above rolloff speed. There is a
control constant to disable this function, KLAMS_CALC.

7-13.12. Temperature Mismatch

This function calculates steam to metal mismatch temperatures. Due to the inability to measure temperatures directly, the
first-stage discharge and reheat exhaust (also called crossover) steam temperatures are calculated here.
Steam to metal mismatch temperatures are used in determining lookahead stresses in the Acceleration function, as well as
determining conditions to transfer to forward flow in the loading Monitor function.
This is a slow rate function and is enabled when the turbine is above rolloff speed.

This function takes the latest main and reheat steam temperatures reading and averages it with the history of previous
readings to calculate an average temperature change for areas to be evaluated. History is weighted three times as heavily as
the most recent reading. It also calculates the allowable stop valve and control valve temperature differences, along with the
control and stop valve inner/outer temperature differential.

7-13.15. CONTROL CONSTANTS

While the control constants are actually part of the I/O, they are important enough to warrant their own section, see
Appendix F. All control constants are inputs to ATS and required for proper operation.
Control constants will change on a requisition basis. This means that once the correct values have been entered, they should
not have to be changed. For this reason, no values have been listed with the summary in Appendix F.
7-13.16. Critical Constants
Critical control constants are constants that must be correct for ATS to function. These constants must be within the defined
range of allowable values or the scheduling function will not let any other function run.
The following constants are critical: KATS_CONFIG, KSTABL_TM, KSTART_TM, KTURBTYPE, KLOCATIONS,
KCRITERIA1, KCRITERIA2, KCRITERIA3, KCRITERIA4. Refer to the Individual Constant Summary section to
determine the allowable values for the critical constants.

7-14. PLANT LOAD CONTROL

The Plant Load Control option implements a background program running in the processor that can send individual MW
RAISE and MW LOWER commands to regulate each turbine in a multi-turbine site to maintain a total plant load, or the
balance of load between turbines.
7-14.1. Adding Plant Load Control to an Processor
PLC is a function that runs in the processor. PLC allows the user to define a plant MW setpoint, and the will send
the needed raise and lower commands to the individual units to match the plant setpoint. Balance control is also available
which will balance the output of units so that they are all producing the same percentage of rated capacity. Individual units
can be enabled or disabled for PLC, so some units can be running at a defined load (such as base or peak) and the rest of the
units can be used to match the plant megawatt setpoint.
To implement PLC on an , the following steps are necessary:
1) Define the processor as a unit.
2) Define a data dictionary for the processor.
a) Define the UNITDATA.DAT file.
b) Define the SCLEDATA.DAT file.
c) Define the ENUMDATA.DAT file.
3) Create a PLC configuration file to indicate how the PLC is to operate.
4) Create the desired displays to view and control the PLC program.
5) Indicate to the that PLC should be started upon restart.
This document explains how to go about these steps, and includes example files for a three unit site.
7-14.1.1. DEFINE THE PROCESSOR AS A UNIT. The F:\CONFIG.DAT file contains a list of the units that exist at this
site. PLC requires a unit to be added for the processor. The processor unit holds all the PLC data points. The 
unit is added like any other unit EXCEPT the unit is given a unit type field of "1". This tells the that this unit is the
 itself. Note that the UNIT TYPE field is optional, and defaults to a MARK V unit type (a value of zero) if not specified.
For example, to add the to a three unit site, change F:\CONFIG.DAT from:

7-14.1.2. DEFINE A DATA DICTIONARY FOR THE . The data dictionary consists of three files for the . The
UNITDATA.DAT file defines all the points, the SCLEDATA.DAT defines the scaling for these points, and the
ENUMDATA.DAT file defines the strings associated with the enumerated state points.
There is no alarm scanning done in the , so it is not necessary to create an ALARM.DAT file. The data dictionary loader
will comment about the missing ALARM.DAT file while loading the data dictionary, but this can be ignored. (An
ALARM.DAT file can be created with an unused alarm in it to silence the dictionary loader's warning.)
The following pages define the contents of these three required files along with an example of a three unit site.
Define the UNITDATA.DAT file. The UNITDATA.DAT file defines the points in the data dictionary. The points
included here are used to support the PLC function. The following example can probably be used as-is, with the number of
PLCSTATE_n points updated to match the number of units that really exist in the plant. (PLCSTATE_1 is the PLC STATE
of unit 1, PLCSTATE_2 is the PLC STATE of unit 2, and so on). Figure 7-43 shows an example UNITDATA.DAT file.

Figure 7-43. UNITDATA.DAT File Example
Define the SCLEDATA.DAT file. The SCLEDATA.DAT file defines the various scale codes used in displaying points in
the data dictionary. There are very few scale codes actually used in the data dictionary. Because the uses
floating point numbers for calculations (not fixed point like the Mark V) there is no need to have a lot of different scale
codes so that the numbers do not go out of range. A floating point number has such a large range that the scale code used for
total plant megawatt can be the same scale code that is used for megawatt deadbands. This limits the number of scale codes
required.

constants and points to be used for the PLC functions. This file must match the configuration of the plant in order for the
PLC functions to perform as expected.
The PLC data file must be located on the processor as the file F:\PLC.DAT. This follows the standard that all files that
configure the processor itself are located at the top level of the F: drive. The file consists of multiple SECTIONS. Each
section is started by a section line that starts in the first column. The lines within each section must be indented at least one
space. Spaces or tabs can be used to indent each line.
Within each section there are two types of entries. One defines a constant that is required for the PLC calculations, the other
defines the name of a point used in the calculations. The constants and the pointnames must each be one "word". Comments
can be added after the values as long as there is some white space (one or more spaces or tabs) between the constant value or
pointname and the comment. Comments should begin with a semicolon; any line that starts with a semicolon in column one
is taken to be a comment line and is ignored.
7-14.1.4. CREATE DISPLAYS FOR PLC. Displays can be created for PLC using either the DEMAND display system or the
ANIMATED display system. The DEMAND displays are handy when a few units are desired, but can only support 12
targets. ANIMATED displays are limited to 128 targets, so they are often used for PLC. Animated displays often contain bar
graphs showing the MW and MVAR output from each unit along with the targets used to control the PLC programs.

GEH-6195F
The basic PLC display should allow the user to:

Enable or disable each unit for PLC commands,
Enable or disable PLC,
Set the plant MW setpoint using an analog setpoint target, or
Enable or disable the balance control.
In addition, some operators can be allowed to:
Set the plant MW setpoint deadband using an analog setpoint target,
Set the balance control deadband using an analog setpoint target, and/or
Set the scan interval for the PLC calculations.
This can be done by enabling or disabling each unit for PLC commands.When a unit is enabled for PLC commands, the PLC
program can send RAISE and LOWER commands to this unit for PLC or balance control. No PLC commands will be sent
to units not enabled for PLC.
Enabling and disabling a unit for PLC is usually done by two control pushbuttons. One enables PLC, one disables PLC. The
feedback signal for these buttons are the PLCSTATE_n signals, so the use has very visible feedback on whether PLC is
enabled or disabled for each unit.
NOTE
The DEMAND display annuniciates the enumerated state for feedback, because it can only show two states.
Since there are only two PLC states (ON and OFF) this warning can be ignored.
To enable a unit for PLC commands, write a one to the PLCSTATE_n variable for that unit. To disable a unit for PLC
commands, write a zero to the PLCSTATE_n variable.
Enabling or disabling PLC. The will only do the PLC calculations if the plant-wide PLC is enabled. To enable PLC,
at least one unit must be enabled for PLC. Plant-wide PLC will turn itself off if no units are enabled for PLC, since it can't
do anything if no units are allowed to be controlled.
To enable plant-wide PLC, write a one to the PLCSTATE_n variable in the data dictionary. To disable plant-wide PLC,
write a zero to the PLCSTATE_n variable. This is usually done with two separate targets, one to enable and one to disable.
The feedback signal should be the PLCSTATE_n variable.
Setting the plant MW setpoint using an analog setpoint target. When plant-wide PLC is off, the plant MW setpoint will
track the current plant output. This gives a bumpless transfer when PLC is turned on. Once PLC has been turned on, the
plant MW setpoint can be changed by writing to the PMWSP point using an analog setpoint target.
To change the plant MW setpoint, create an analog setpoint target that writes to the PMWSP point in the data dictionary.
Enabling or disabling balance control. If PLC is enabled, the balance control can be enabled. Balance control will cause
all units enabled for PLC to produce the same percentage of rated output. At least two units must be selected for PLC in
order to run balance control. Balance control will turn itself off if less than two units are enabled for PLC.
To enable balance control, write a one to the BALSTATE variable in the data dictionary. To disable balance control,
write a zero to the BALSTATE variable in the data dictionary. This is usually done with two separate targets, one to
enable and one to disable. The feedback signal should be the BALSTATE variable.
Setting the plant MW setpoint deadband using an analog setpoint target. If the ability to change the plant MW setpoint
deadband is desired, you can include an analog setpoint target that writes to the PSPDB variable in the data dictionary.
If the user writes a value that is above the PSPDBMAX constant defined in the PLC data file is written, the value will be set
7-81
GEH-6195F
Application Manual
to the PSPDBMAX value. If a value below the PSPDBMIN constant defined in the PLC data file is written, the value will
be set to the PSPDBMIN value.
To write to the plant MW setpoint deadband, create an analog setpoint target that writes to the PSPDB point in the data
dictionary.
Setting the balance control deadband using an analog setpoint target. If the ability to change the balance setpoint
deadband is desired, include an analog setpoint target that writes to the BALDB variable in the data dictionary.
If a value above the BALDBMAX constant defined in the PLC data fileis written, the value will be set to the BALDBMAX
value. If a value below the BALDBMIN constant defined in the PLC data fileis written, the value will be set to the
BALDBMIN value.
To write to the balance setpoint deadband, create an analog setpoint target that writes to the BALDB point in the data
dictionary.
Setting the scan interval for the PLC calculations. If the ability to change the scan interval (in seconds) of the PLC
calculations is desired, include an analog setpoint target that writes to the SCANINT variable in the data dictionary.
If a value above the SCANINTMAX constant defined in the PLC data file is written, the value will be set to the
SCANINTMAX value. If a value below the SCANINTMIN constant defined in the PLC data file is written, the value will
be set to the SCANINTMIN value.
To write to the scan interval, create an analog setpoint target that writes to the SCANINT point in the data dictionary.
7-14.1.5. INFORM THE THAT PLC SHOULD BE STARTED UPON RESTART. To tell the to start the PLC
programs when the is restarted,t the F:\CONFIG.DAT file must be edited and included in the OPTIONS section the line:
"PLC = Yes".
This causes the PLC programs to start when the is restarted.
7-14.2. Keywords
The following pages show the keywords used in the data file and a brief description of what each keyword defines. In the
keyword definitions, the attributes of the keyword are shown inside square brackets. These attributes are:
CONSTANT
POINT
REQUIRED

note that the values of the constants shown here may not be the same as those needed at a different site.
7-14.2.1. KEYWORD DEFINITIONS. The following is a list of keywords used in the data file and a brief description of what
each keyword represents. The attributes of the keyword definitions are shown in brackets.
7-82
Application Manual
GEH-6195F
NUNITS SECTION. This section provides information concerning the number of turbines that are used.
NUNITS <integer value> - [CONSTANT, REQUIRED] This tells the PLC program the total number of units that
can be enabled for PLC. This number does not include the unit defined for the processor.
UNIT SECTION. These definitions provide information concerning the individual units and their characteristics.
UNIT <unitname> - [CONSTANT, REQUIRED] This tells the PLC program that another unit definition is being
started. The data file is defined this way to allow the "cloning" of units. There will be one unit section per unit, and the
number of unit sections should match the NUNITS value.
CONTROL <0 or 1> - [CONSTANT, REQUIRED] This indicates whether this unit can receive RAISE and
LOWER commands to change its output. If a unit is disabled for control, its MW and MVAR output will be summed in
the plant total, but no commands will be sent to the unit to change its output. (A value of zero indicates no control
actions, a one indicates the unit can be made available for PLC actions.)
CAP <mw capacity of unit> - [CONSTANT, CONTROL] The unit CAPacity specifies the rated capacity of the unit.
Units are given commands based upon their percentage of rated capacity. For example, when BALANCE control is
enabled, the units will balance so they are producing the same percentage of rated capacity, not the same number of
MW. When normal PLC commands are sent, a larger percentage of the RAISE or LOWER commands are sent to the
units with the highest capacity. The exact value is not critical, but should be reasonable for the turbine generator set.
MIN <minimum MW under PLC> - [CONSTANT, CONTROL] The MINimum MW value defines the lowest MW
value that PLC will drive a unit towards. A unit will not be sent A LOWER command if the unit's output is less than
this value. This is usually set above zero to prevent a unit from falling into negative power.
MWPBDUR <integer value> - [CONSTANT, CONTROL] The MW PushButton DURation is used to send the
RAISE and LOWER pushbutton commands to the Mark V. With each command to push a button, the sends a value
of how long to push the button. The duration is specified as the number of sequencing frame scans which have a typical
duration of 1/16 or 1/32 of a second. This defines the constant that is sent to the Mark V. The RAISE and LOWER
commands are sent from the once per second. If MWPBDUR is defined to push the button for one second, the
maximum unit ramp possible is given. If the push button duration is defined for less than a full second, the ramp rate of
the unit can be controlled for PLC functions. (This value affects only the PLC function, not any other operator displays
that may have been created.)
MWPBRATE <mw/pb> - [CONSTANT, CONTROL] The MW pushbutton RATE defines the unit's response to a
single RAISE or LOWER command. The PLC algorithm decides how many MW it wants the unit to move, then divides
this value by the MWPBRATE. This results in the number of RAISE or LOWER commands to send to the unit. This
value will be effected by a change in the MWPBDUR (defined above) and the ramp rate set in the unit. If the value is
too low, the unit may overshoot its intended MW setting. If the value is too high, it will take longer for the plant to zero
in on the desired setpoint. The value should be smaller than the plant setpoint deadband, since changes in setpoints are
assumed to be in even multiples of this MWPBRATE.
MW <pointname> - [POINT, REQUIRED] MW provides the name of the signal that is the MW output from the
unit. It is required for all units.
MVAR <pointname> - [POINT, REQUIRED] MVAR provides the name of the signal that is the MVAR output
from the unit. It is required for all units.
52G <pointname> - [POINT, REQUIRED] 52G provides the name of the logic signal that is the state of the breaker.
When the plant MW and MVAR are created, only units where the 52G signal is TRUE are included. This prevents
sensor drift from units that are not on-line from being included in plant totals.
STATE <I_pointname> - [POINT, REQUIRED] STATE provides the name of the ENUMERATED STATE
signal that indicates whether the unit is enabled for PLC or not. This must be a signal in the data dictionary. The
signal is usually given the name PLCSTATE_n, where "n" is the unit number. Writing a one to this point will cause a
unit to be enabled for PLC actions. Writing a zero to this point will disable the unit from PLC actions.
7-83
GEH-6195F
Application Manual
TEMP <pointname> - [POINT, CONTROL] TEMP provides the name of the signal that indicates the unit is on
temperature control. No RAISE commands will be sent to units with this signal TRUE. If definition of this signal is not
desired for a unit, any signal from the unit that is always FALSE (like LFALSE) can be used instead.
COMMHTHY <pointname> - [POINT, CONTROL] COMMHTHY provides the name of any signal that comes
from the unit. The point chosen is not important, but is used for a communication health check. If the unit specified in
this point is not healthy, the unit will be dropped from PLC. If automatically removing a unit from PLC is not desired,
specify any point from the data dictionary here. Communication with the is ALWAYS healthy, so the unit is
never disabled from PLC due to a communication loss.
BASE <pointname> - [POINT, CONTROL] BASE supplies the name of the signal that indicates the unit was
selected for BASE LOAD. When a unit has been selected for BASE, no RAISE or LOWER commands will be sent to
the unit. The unit is disabled from PLC when this signal is TRUE. If implementing this feature is not desired, supply a
signal name that is always FALSE (such as LFALSE) for this signal.
PEAK <pointname> - [POINT, CONTROL] PEAK supplies the name of the signal that indicates the unit was
selected for PEAK LOAD. When a unit has been selected for PEAK, no RAISE or LOWER commands will be sent to
the unit. The unit is disabled from PLC when this signal is TRUE. If implementing this feature is not desired (and for
units that do not include PEAK support), supply a signal name that is always FALSE (such as LFALSE) for this signal.
START <pointname> - [POINT, CONTROL] START supplies the name of the signal that indicates a START is in
progress. The unit is disabled from PLC when this signal is found TRUE.
STOP <pointname> - [POINT, CONTROL] STOP supplies the name of the signal that indicates a STOP is in
progress. The unit is disabled from PLC when this signal is found TRUE.
READY <pointname> - [POINT, CONTROL] READY supplies the name of an additional signal that indicates the
unit is ready for PLC. The unit will be disabled from PLC when this signal is found FALSE. If no additional
permissives are received to go onto PLC, supply the name of a signal that is always TRUE (such as LTRUE) for this
signal.
MWPBR <pb_pointname> - [POINT, CONTROL] MW PushButton Raise supplies the name of the MW RAISE
pushbutton. When an MW RAISE command is desired, it is sent to this pushbutton pointname using the duration
supplied by the constant MWPBDUR.
MWPBL <pb_pointname> - [POINT, CONTROL] MW PushButton Lower supplies the name of the MW LOWER
pushbutton. When an MW LOWER command is desired, it is sent to this pushbutton pointname using the duration
supplied by the constant MWPBDUR.
SETPOINT SECTION. The following section provides definitions of constants and points used in the PLC calculations.
SETPOINT - This indicates the start of the SETPOINT section. The SETPOINT section defines constants and points
used in the PLC calculations that effect the entire plant. There is only one SETPOINT section. PLC attempts to match
the plant MW output to a user-defined plant MW setpoint. It does this by sending RAISE and LOWER commands to
units that have been enabled for PLC. Not all units need to be enabled, some units may be sitting at BASE or PEAK
output, letting other units take the load swings defined by the changes in the plant MW setpoint.
PSPDBI <mw_value> - [CONSTANT, CONTROL] The Plant SetPoint DeadBand Initial value indicates the initial
value of the plant setpoint deadband. The plant MW is considered as matching the plant MW setpoint if the difference
between the plant MW setpoint and the total plant MW is less than or equal to this value. Typical values are on the
order of a couple of MW. The actual deadband can be changed while running PLC. This defines the initial value when
the is rebooted.
PSPDBMIN <mw_value> - (See the definition for PSPDBMAX.)
7-84
Application Manual
GEH-6195F
PSPDBMAX <mw_value> - [CONSTANT, CONTROL] The Plant SetPoint DeadBand MIN and MAX values define
the acceptable range that the plant setpoint deadband can be set to while running PLC. If an attempt is made to set the
plant setpoint deadband above the MAX value, it is set to the MAX value. If an attempt is made to set it below the MIN
value, it is set to the MIN value.
SCANINTI <integer_seconds> - [CONSTANT, CONTROL] The SCAN INTerval Initial value specifies the initial
number of seconds between PLC calculations. During each scan interval, the PLC calculations are run and the RAISE
and LOWER commands found necessary are queued to be sent to the unit at a one per second rate. Typical values for
the scan interval are every 10 to 30 seconds. The actual scan interval can be changed while running PLC. This defines
the initial value when the is rebooted.
SCANINTMIN <integer_seconds> - (See the definition for SCANINTMAX.)

SCANINTMAX <integer_seconds> - [CONSTANT, CONTROL] The SCAN INTerval MIN and MAX values
define the acceptable range that the scan interval can be set to while running PLC. If an attempt is made to set the scan
interval above the MAX value, it is set to the MAX value. If an attempt is made to set it below the MIN value, it is set
to the MIN value.
PMW <I_pointname> - [POINT, REQUIRED] Plant MW supplies the name of the point that contains the total
plant MW. The MW from each unit that has its breaker closed (52G signal is TRUE) is summed to make the plant MW
total. This calculation is done once per second.
PMVAR <I_pointname> - [POINT, REQUIRED] Plant MVAR supplies the name of the point that contains the
total plant MVAR. The MVAR from each unit that has its breaker closed (52G signal is TRUE) is summed to make the
plant MVAR total. This calculation is done once per second.
PMWSP <I_pointname> - [POINT, CONTROL] Plant MW SetPoint supplies the name of the point that holds
the plant MW setpoint. This point must be an analog setpoint command in the data dictionary. While PLC is off, the
plant MW setpoint will track the current plant MW. This gives a bumpless transfer when PLC is enabled. While PLC is
on, the value of the plant MW setpoint can be set from any display that has an analog setpoint target that writes to the
plant setpoint. If PLC is off, this is updated every second. If PLC is on, it is updated when the user changes the
setpoint.
PMWERR <I_pointname> - [POINT, CONTROL] Plant MW ERRor supplies the name of the point that holds
the plant MW error. The error is defined as the difference between the plant MW setpoint and the current plant MW.
This value is updated once per second.
PSPDB <I_pointname> - [POINT, CONTROL] Plant SetPoint DeadBand supplies the name of the point that
holds the plant setpoint deadband in MW. This point must be an analog setpoint command in the data dictionary.
The plant is considered to match the plant setpoint if the absolute value of the plant MW error is less than or equal to this
value. The plant setpoint deadband can be changed while running PLC using any display that can write to this analog
setpoint.
SCANINT <I_pointname> - [POINT, CONTROL] SCAN INTerval supplies the name of the point that holds
the scan interval (in seconds) for the PLC algorithm. This point must be an analog setpoint command in the data
dictionary. The scan interval defines how often the PLC algorithm will run and queue up RAISE and LOWER
commands to the units. The scan interval can be changed while running PLC using any display that can write this analog
setpoint.
PLCSTATE <I_pointname> - [POINT, CONTROL] PLC STATE supplies the name of the point that indicates
whether PLC is OFF or ON. This point must be an enumerated state command in the data dictionary. If PLC is
OFF, no PLC actions will take place. If PLC is ON, the units enabled for PLC can be given RAISE and LOWER
commands to meet the desired plant MW setpoint or load balance the units. The PLC can be toggled ON or OFF from
any display that can send this enumerated state command. (State 0 is OFF, state 1 is ON.)
7-85
GEH-6195F
Application Manual
PSPMATCH <I_pointname> - [POINT, CONTROL] Plant SetPoint MATCHed supplies the name of an point
that indicates whether the plant has achieved the goal of matching the plant MW setpoint or not. This must be a logic
point in the data dictionary. If the plant MW error is less than the plant MW deadband, this point will be given the
value of TRUE. If the plant does not match the plant setpoint, it will be FALSE.
BALANCE SECTION. The following section provides definitions of constants and points used in the calculations for PLC
Load Balance.
BALANCE - This indicates the start of the BALANCE section. The BALANCE section defines constants and points
used in the PLC LOAD BALANCE calculations on a plant wide basis. There is only one BALANCE section. Balance
control can only be enabled if PLC is also enabled. Balance control will cause each unit enabled for PLC to produce the
same percentage of rated power as each other unit, within a balance deadband.
BALDBI <mw_value> - [CONSTANT, CONTROL] The BALance DeadBand Initial value indicates the initial value
of the balance control deadband. Each unit calculates what its ideal balanced output should be, and if the unit is within
this deadband of the ideal value it is considered balanced. If it is outside this deadband, RAISE or LOWER commands
are sent to the unit to balance it. The balance deadband can be changed while running PLC. This defines the initial value
assigned after a reboot of the .
BALDBMIN <mw_value> - (See the definition for BALDBMAX.)

BALDBMAX <mw_value> - [CONSTANT, CONTROL] The BALance DeadBand MIN and MAX values define the
acceptable range that the balance deadband can be set to while running PLC. If an attempt is made to set the value
above the MAX value, it will be set to the MAX value. If an attempt is made to set the value below the MIN value, it
will be set to the MIN value.
BALSTATE <I_pointname> - [POINT, CONTROL] BALance STATE supplies the name of an point that
indicates whether balance control is ON or OFF. This must be an enumerated state command in the data dictionary.
If balance control is OFF, no RAISE or LOWER commands will be sent to balance the output from each unit. If
balance control is ON, RAISE and LOWER commands will be sent to units selected for PLC to even out the percentage
of rated power each unit is producing while still meeting the total plant MW setpoint. PLC must be ON to turn on
balance control. The balance control can be toggled ON or OFF from any display that can send this enumerated state
command. (State 0 is OFF, state 1 is ON.)
BALMATCH <I_pointname> - [POINT, CONTROL] BALance control MATCHed supplies the name of an 
point that indicates whether the plant has achieved the goal of balancing the units' MW output or not. This must be a
logic point in the data dictionary. If all units selected for PLC are within the balance deadband of their ideal
balanced output, this point will be set to TRUE. If balance control is OFF, or a unit is not within the balance deadband
of ideal balanced output, this value will be FALSE.
BALDB <I_pointname> - [POINT, CONTROL] BALance DeadBand supplies the name of the point that holds
the balance deadband in MW. This point must be an analog setpoint command in the data dictionary. A unit is
considered to be balanced if its MW output is within this deadband of the ideal balance MW. The ideal balanced
deadband is defined as producing the same percentage of rated capacity from each unit selected for PLC. The balance
deadband can be changed while running PLC using any display that can write this analog setpoint.

CHAPTER 8
I/O APPLICATIONS
8-1. INTRODUCTION
The process of determining where to place or "land" a new contact input, naming the associated software signal, and
verifying or modifying the I/O configuration is covered in this section. For information on Control Sequence Program
modifications required as a result of an addition or subtraction of a contact input, refer to Chapter 5.
CAUTION
Exercise care when using an ASCII text editor with any Mark V system file. Do not perform any
modifications other than those specified in this document. Incorrect modifications to these files could
be detrimental to system performance. It is highly suggested that system backups are performed
before any modifications are done to these files. These changes should only be done by qualified
personnel.
8-2. ADDING A CONTACT INPUT
At times it is desirable or necessary to monitor an additional contact input (or digital input) for control, protection, logging,
monitoring or alarm purposes. This can be done by the Mark V Control Panel as it typically contains multiple spare contact
input locations for both <C> and <Q> (through <CD> and <QDn>, respectively). The addition of a contact input to the
control panel requires modifications to the Control Sequence Program of <Q> or <C> and may require changes to the I/O
Configuration of the control panel.
The steps involved in renaming a spare software signal in the primary operator interface are outlined in the flow-chart in
Figure 8-1. Many of the steps are performed from the DOS command line, not from the IDOS menu/display screens and
require the use of an ASCII text editor. The steps are explained in detail in sections 8-2.1. through 8-2.8. as follows.
Step 1

GEH-6195F
Application Manual
In this section, a new contact input will be added for the limit switch of a critical regulating valve. That is, the regulating
valve (VR-1) will have its limit switch contacts calibrated and adjusted such that the normally closed contacts will be open
whenever the regulating valve is closed. The device number for a limit switch is 33. In the example, the contacts being wired
into the Control Panel will originate from the device 33VR-1. For control purposes, the signal pointname which is driven by
the new contact input should be a logic " 1 " when the valve is closed, and a logic " 0 " whenever the valve is open.
8-2.1. Step 1 - Determine Where to Add New Contact Input
When a contact input is to be added to the control panel, it is necessary to determine where the new input will be landed on
the digital I/O core. This decision is made the basis of whether the new input will be part of the critical (for example: unit
trip and/or protection) or non-critical sequencing (for example: alarm annunciation and/or monitoring purposes) of the unit.
Generally, field modifications which might include a contact input addition are made to enhance unit control and protection
and are therefore critical in nature. This in turn requires that the contact input be wired to <QDn>. If the unit/process can
survive the failure or loss of the signal from the new contact input, it may be added to <CD>. If the unit\process cannot
survive the failure or loss of the new contact input, the input should be wired into <QDn>. In the example, the regulating
valve is critical to the operation of the unit and the process; accordingly, the contacts will be wired into <QD1>.
8-2.2. Step 2 - Choose a Spare Contact Input Point
After it has been determined that a new contact input is to be added to a specific digital I/O core, the user should choose a
name for the new point. Point names should be as descriptive as possible (up to a maximum of 12 characters) and follow the
signal/device numbering scheme used elsewhere in the control panel. In the example, a point is required for device 33VR-1,
which in turn should be a logic " 1 " when the valve is closed; an appropriate pointname is L33VR1C.
Point names can only be assigned to one point number in the Mark V turbine control, therefore, the UNITDATA.DAT file
must be searched to determine if the pointname to be selected is already in use. This can be done with an ASCII text editor.
From the Main Menu, exit to DOS by pressing ALT + X. Change to the appropriate unit directory (if the modification is to
be made to Unit 1, change to F:\UNIT1). Open the UNITDATA.DAT file and perform a search of the file for the
pointname to be used. If the desired pointname is used, a new pointname must be chosen. This will entail a new search that
will hopefully produce a pointname that is not being used.
To find a spare location for a supplemental contact input (both physically and in software), open the I/O assignment file
IO.ASG, and using an ASCII text editor, scroll through the file until an appropriate point can be found ( such as a point that
has the correct hardware and signal name in the digital I/O core).
CAUTION
Do not edit or change UNITDATA.DAT file. UNITDATA.DAT is automatically created by
programs on the and modifications to it could result in unpredictable operation.

digital I/O core to which the point will be terminated in the control panel (QD1)
type and number of the input signal (CI for contact input, 05 for fifth contact input)
SIGNAL defines:
software signal pointname of the contact input

SCALE is a note about the inversion mask of the contact input:
CIM_I denotes an inverted input
CIM denotes a non-inverted input

COMMENTS defines the terminal board location and the I/O card to which the point is linked:
TCDA is the I/O card to which the point is linked to and can be located under in the I/O Configurator
DTBA - 9 is I/O termination board DTBA, terminal #9 for the signal input leg
Once an appropriate spare contact input point has been identified, change the name in the SIGNAL column to the desired
software signal pointname. In the example, a contact input from device 33VR-1 is added; the corresponding software signal
pointname is L33VR1C.
If necessary, the intended inversion mask of the pointname may be changed using an ASCII text editor. Specifically, this
involves editing the SCALE column of the selected point. The actual inversion masking of a contact input is determined
by the I/O Configurator; the information in the SCALE column of IO.ASG for contact input points is descriptive and does
not actually affect/reflect the actual inversion mask of the point.
The following example shows how the HDW NAME location Q_QD1_CIO5 can be modified so that the valve will close
when a logic " 1 " is received. As the inverse of the original configuration, the conversion mask must be changed to
CIM_I.

Exit the ASCII text editor making sure to save the modified I/O assignment file with the same name (i.e., IO.ASG).
Return to the IDOS Main Menu by typing MENU at the DOS prompt.
8-2.3. Step 3 - Create a New UNITDATA.DAT File
The unit Data Dictionary must now be updated to include the new software signal pointname of the contact input point being
added. The file UNITDATA.DAT must contain all of the signal pointnames and therefore must be updated (a new
UNITDATA.DAT file will actually be created with the new software signal pointname from IO.ASG included in the file).
UNITDATA.DAT is created by executing DDLOCATE using the four assignment files (one of which is IO.ASG) as input
to the program. All of the assignment files must be used.
To run the DDLOCATE program, enter the following command at the DOS prompt of the unit directory.
DDLOCATE
8-4
IO.ASG
FACTORY.ASG
ALLOCSSP.ASG
SITE.ASG
Application Manual
GEH-6195F
When the Data Dictionary loader program loads the information from UNITDATA.DAT into RAM, the signal
pointnames should be in alphanumeric ordered by pointname for fast loading. However, the UNITDATA.DAT file created
by DDLOCATE is not sorted in this fashion. To accomplish an alphanumeric sorting, run the DDUTIL program with the
SORT option specified by typing in the following command at the DOS prompt of the unit directory:
DDUTIL SORT
In addition to sorting the new UNITDATA.DAT file in alphanumeric order by signal pointname, DDUTIL also performs a
validity check of the signal pointnames in the file. (Validity checking is the process of checking that no signal pointname is
assigned to more than one point in UNITDATA.DAT.) The results of sorting and validity-checking will displayed on the
screen. The following message should be displayed:
SORTING COMPLETE: UNITDATA.DAT is new file, UNITDATA.BAK is old file
This is an indication that no problems were encountered during sorting and validity-checking.
Run with the SORT option specified, DDUTIL will store the unsorted and un-validity-checked UNITDATA.DAT file
produced by DDLOCATE as a back-up file with the name UNITDATA.BAK. It will also store the results of sorting the file
as the new UNITDATA.DAT file.
Return to the IDOS Main Menu by typing MENU at the DOS prompt and pressing Enter.
NOTE
Several of these steps can be done automatically by using the MK5MAKE.BAT file. See Maintenance
Manual GEH-5980, Chapter 4.
8-2.4. Step 4 - I/O Configuration Check/Modification
The status of the inversion mask of the new contact input must be compared with that of the I/O Configuration file using the
I/O Configurator. This is done regardless of whether or not it was modified in the last step. From the Main Menu, point and
click on the I/O Configuration Editor selection. After a few seconds, the I/O Configurator display will appear on the CRT.
Check the top of the I/O Configurator display for an indication of the selected processor (<C> or <Q>). If necessary, click on
the proper target at the bottom of the screen to switch to the appropriate processor (in the example, a contact input was added
to <QD1>, therefore, the <Q> Processor Menu must be selected). Click on the appropriate I/O card target (TCDA-1 in the
example) to display the configuration information for contact input number 5.
The first screen which appears will be card revision information. Click on the NEXT SCREEN target to advance to the
contact input information. (See TCDA I/O configurator screens in Appendix B.) Look for the contact input number (in the
example, contact input number 5). Read across to the column under Inversion Masks and find the value which
corresponds to the contact input number. If the value is a " 0 ", the input is not inverted; if it is a " 1 ", it is inverted.
In the example, a point was inverted in the I/O assignment file. This means that the I/O Configurator display must be
changed to agree with the I/O assignment file. To perform the required changes, click on the desired point (the background
color of the point will change to white indicating it is selected), type in the new value (in the example, " 1 ") and then point
and click on the VERIFY SCREEN target at the bottom of the display. The contact inversion will now reflect the change.
When the point information in the I/O assignment file and the I/O Configurator agree, exit the I/O configurator by clicking
on the AGENT MENU target and then clicking on the SAVE CHANGES target. The I/O Configurator program will be
terminated and the I/O configuration files (IOCFG_Q.DAT and/or IOCFG_C.DAT) will be generated during the
termination. The screen will return to the IDOS Main Menu upon termination of the I/O Configurator.

8-2.5. Step 5 - Download New I/O Configuration

From the Main Menu, initiate the EEPROM downloading function by pointing and clicking on EEPROM Downloader. This
will return the screen to a command line with the following prompt:
"EEPROM Downloader>".
In the example, the unit name/designation for the control panel being modified is T1. Download the IOCFG_Q.DAT file to
each processor of <Q> (<R>, and <S> and <T> in a TMR control panel) by entering "DOWN T1 R IOCFG".
Repeat the command for <S> and <T> in a TMR control panel. When the I/O configuration has been downloaded to each of
the appropriate processor(s), type EXIT at the prompt to return to the Main Menu.
8-2.6. Step 6 - Reset Processor(s).
For the contact input addition's inversion mask change to become active, reset (or cycle) each processor one at a time. Wait
until the processor returns to normal operating condition (state A7) before resetting the next processor. Resetting the
processor transfers the modified I/O configuration file from processor EEPROM to be used in the processor RAM.
8-2.7. Step 7 - Reset Computer
The new UNITDATA.DAT file must now be loaded into the computer's RAM so that the new software signal
pointname can be displayed with units and a value when inserted into a user Defined Display. The computer must be
reset (press CTRL + ALT + DEL) in order for the new UNITDATA.DAT file to be loaded into RAM. When the re-boot
process is complete, the screen will return to the IDOS Main Display.
8-2.8. Step 8 - Transfer New Data Dictionary Information
If there are any other 's on the Stage Link for the unit to which a new contact input was added, the new data dictionary
information must be copied to floppy disk(s) and transferred to them from the where the modification was made. After
the new Data Dictionary is loaded, the must be reset in order for it to display the new point name when entered.

8-3. ADDING A CONTACT OUTPUT (RELAY OR SOLENOID)

The Mark V panel has numerous contact outputs. Many of the contact outputs can be either a relay output or a solenoid
output, depending on the placement of two jumpers. As referred to in this section, a relay output is a C-form contact output
(electrically common normally open and normally closed contacts of a relay available at a terminal board). See Figure 8-2.
These contacts are sometimes referred to as dry contacts. This means that they are to be used to switch an externally
supplied power source for some load; for example an indicating lamp, motor starter, status indication, or similar.
A solenoid output is a also a C-form contact output.
However, when application-specific Isolation jumpers PX
and MX are in place, these contacts are powered by an
internal power source (usually, either 125 V DC or 120 V
AC). Solenoid outputs are used to drive solenoid-operated
valves used in turbine and/or auxiliary control.
In order to operate a relay output or solenoid output from
the Mark V control panel, modifications to the Control
Sequence Program are necessary to drive the relay's
pointname from some logic in the Program (see Chapter 5).
The pointname which drives the relay must be selected from
the available spare contact output logic points in the I/O
assignment file (IO.ASG) and renamed. The process of
selecting the spare contact output logic point, renaming the
point, determining the associated terminal board locations,
and checking the Isolation jumpers are covered in this
section.

Create a new UNITDATA.DAT file.
Reset the computer to load the new UNITDATA.DAT information into 's RAM.
Check to see that the I/O output terminal board Jumpers are set properly.
Transfer the new Data Dictionary information to any other 's on the stage link which will have their
Control Sequence Programs modified to include the new local logic pointname.
As an example, a new relay output will be added to Unit 1. The relay output will be used to drive an
indicating lamp in a remote location which is non-critical to the operation of the unit/process.
8-3.1. Step 1 - Determine Where To a Add New Contact Output

After it has been decided that a relay output or solenoid output is to be added to the control panel, it is necessary to determine
the digital I/O core to which it will be added. The factor on which this decision is made is whether the new output will be
part of the critical (unit trip and/or protection) or non-critical control functions of the unit. If the unit/process can survive the
failure or loss of the signal from the new output (such as when <C> might be powered-down or inoperable), then it should
be added to <CD>. If the unit\process cannot survive the failure or loss of the new contact output the new contact output
should be wired into <QDn>. In the example, the relay output is not critical to the operation of the unit or process, therefore,
it will be added to <CD>.
After the digital I/O core to which the new output is to be added has been determined, a name for the new point should be
chosen. Pointnames should be as descriptive as possible (up to a maximum of 12 characters) and follow the signal/device
8-7
GEH-6195F

numbering scheme used elsewhere in the control panel. In our example, the new relay output will drive a remote indicating
lamp. An appropriate pointname would be L30REM_IND.
8-3.2. Step 2 - Choose a Spare Contact Output Point
To find a spare contact output point, open the I/O assignment fileIO.ASGfile using the ASCII text editor and scroll
through the file looking for the contact output section of the core to which the point is to be added. Spare contact output
points will have the same hardware name and signal name. A section of the I/O assignment file showing several contact
outputs is as follows:

8-8
Application Manual
GEH-6195F
Once a spare contact output point has been identified, change the name in the SIGNAL column to the desired software
signal pointname. In the example, HDW NAME location C_CD_CO01 was chosen. This contact output can be either a
solenoid output or a relay output, depending on the placement of Isolation jumpers on the <CD> DTBC card. Since only a
relay output point is required, the final check should ensure that the jumpers are not set to configure this output as a solenoid
output. Refer to the following example for the necessary changes to implement the addition in the previous I/O assignment
file example.

Exit the ASCII text editor making sure to save the modified I/O assignment file with the same name. Remain in DOS for the
next step.
8-3.3. Step 3 - Create New UNITDATA.DAT File

The unit Data Dictionary must now be updated to include the new software signal pointname of the contact output point
being added. The file UNITDATA.DAT (one of the unit Data Dictionary files) must contain all of the signal pointnames and
therefore must be updated (a new UNITDATA.DAT file will actually be created with the new software signal pointname
from IO.ASG included in the file). UNITDATA.DAT is created by executing the DDLOCATE program and using the four
assignment files (one of which is IO.ASG) as input to the program. All four of the assignment files must be used even
though only IO.ASG was modified in this example. A new UNITDATA.DAT is actually being created by the DDLOCATE
program and all the assignments must be included in the new file.
To run the DDLOCATE program, enter the following command at the DOS prompt of the unit directory:
pointnames should be in alphanumeric order by pointname for fast loading. However, the UNITDATA.DAT file created by
DDLOCATE is not sorted in this fashion.To accomplish an alphanumeric sorting, run the DDUTIL program with the SORT
option specified by typing in the following command at the DOS prompt of the unit directory:
DDUTIL SORT
validity check of the signal pointnames in the file. Validity checking is the process of checking that no signal pointname is
assigned to more than one point in UNITDATA.DAT. The results of sorting and validity-checking will displayed on the
screen. The following message should be presented indicating that no problems were encountered during sorting and
validity-checking:
DDUTIL run with the SORT option specified will store the unsorted and un-validity-checked UNITDATA.DAT file
produced by DDLOCATE as back-up file with the name UNITDATA.BAK and stores the results of sorting the file as the
new UNITDATA.DAT file. Return to the IDOS Main Menu by typing MENU at the DOS prompt and pressing Enter.

8-3.5. Step 5 - Check I/O Terminal Board Jumpers

Mark V Control Panel contact outputs can be either a relay output or a solenoid output, depending on the placement of
jumpers PX and MX. Using the Digital I/O Signal Flow Diagrams section of this manual, it can be determined whether the
jumpers used to configure contact outputs as solenoid outputs. Figure 8-4 shows part of a table of a Digital Output sheet
including information on contact outputs, terminal board locations, and the associated isolation jumpers.
In the example, Contact Output # 1 is used. This output could be configured as either a relay output or a solenoid output
depending on the placement of Isolation jumpers P1 and M1. While terminating the wires for the new contact output on
terminal board DTBC, check to ensure that the Jumpers P1 and M1 are not installed. Remove them if they are.

If there are other s on the Stage Link for the unit to which a new contact output was added, the new IO.ASG and
UNITDATA.DAT must be copied to floppy disk and transferred to them from the where the modification was made.
After the new files are loaded, each must be reset in order for it to display the new point name when entered.
8-4. CHOOSING/RENAMING SPARE LOCAL LOGIC POINT
When modifications to the Control Sequence Program are necessary, the use of a spare local logic point may be required. A
spare local logic point is a (logic) point in memory which is not directly associated with a contact input, a relay output, a
solenoid output, or a command or push-button. Local logic points can reside in <C> or <Q> and may be fast-voted, slowvoted, or non-voted. As shipped, the Mark V Control Panel contains numerous spare local logic points. Spare local logic
points are found in the VARDEF.DAT file in the proper unit directory.
The steps involved in renaming a spare local logic point for use in the Control Sequence Program are outlined in the flow
chart in Figure 8-5. The steps are explained in detail in sections 8-4.1 through 8-4.5. The majority of steps are performed
from the DOS command line, except where noted, and require the use of an ASCII text editor. In this section, a spare local
logic point is renamed for use in a Control Sequence Program modification.
8-4.1. Step 1 - Choose Spare Local Logic Point
Modifications to the Control Sequence Program of either <C> or <Q> can be completed through the implementation of spare
local logic points. Unless otherwise directed by GEDS factory personnel, all CSP modifications should be made to <Q>;
therefore, spare local logic points should be chosen from <Q>'s Control Data Base. After it has been determined that a spare
local logic point is required for a Control Sequence Program modification, a name for the new point should be chosen.
Pointnames should be as descriptive as possible (up to a maximum of 12 characters) and follow the signal/device numbering
scheme used elsewhere in the control panel. In the example, a spare local logic point will be required to be used in
conjunction with a BBL primitive COPY block. An appropriate pointname is LCOPY01.
8-4.2. Step 2 - Modify Appropriate Assignment File (FACTORY.ASG or SITE.ASG)
To specify a spare local logic point for use in a Control Sequence Program Modification, open either the FACTORY.ASG
or SITE.ASG file using an ASCII text editor; the file to be opened will depend on where the modification is being made
8-14
Application Manual
GEH-6195F
and/or who is making the modification. Modifications to FACTORY.ASG should only be made by GEDS and/or BA factory
personnel. Modifications made by GE and/or BA field personnel or Customer/Owner representatives should be made in
SITE.ASG. For the purposes of this example, it is assumed that the modification is being made after the unit has been
installed; therefore, the specification of a spare local logic point will be made in SITE.ASG.
SITE.ASG and FACTORY.ASG are the assignment files where spare signal points can be specified (type, name, and scale)
to be added to the unit Data Dictionary. The header of these two files contain the codes used to specify what type of point is
to be added. For example, a spare variable (or word) in <C> which is a Control Constant (?VQCC), or a spare local logic in
<Q> (?LQ). In the example, a spare logic point is added in <Q>; as such, the ?LQ code must be used to specify the type of
spare point to be added to the unit Data Dictionary.

;TYPE SIGNAL_NAME SCALE
COMMENTS
;---- ------------ ------------------------------------------------
As shown at the bottom of the example, the SITE.ASG (and the FACTORY.ASG file, as well) contains a minimum of
three columns. The first column, TYPE, defines the type of spare signal point to be added to the unit Data Dictionary. The
second column, SIGNAL_NAME, defines the software signal pointname of the point being added. The third column,
SCALE, specifies the scale name of the point. The last column (if present), COMMENTS, contains comments about the
point being added. Comments are not necessary for the unit Data Dictionary, however, they may be helpful in the future to
determine why the point was added. All comments must be preceeded by a semicolon (;).
Using an ASCII text editor, add a line to the SITE.ASG file (or FACTORY.ASG, as appropriate) to specify a spare local
logic in <Q>'s Control Data Base which has the software signal pointname LCOPY01 and the scale type LOG. The
SITE.ASG should contain a line as follows:

Exit the ASCII text editor making sure to save the modified UNITDATA.DAT file with the same name. Return to the Main
Menu by typing MENU at the DOS prompt.
The unit Data Dictionary must now be updated to include the new software signal pointname of the spare local logic point
being added. The file UNITDATA.DAT (one of the unit Data Dictionary files) must contain all of the signal pointnames and
from SITE.ASG included in the file). UNITDATA.DAT is created by executing the DDLOCATE program and using the
four assignment files (one of which is SITE.ASG) as input to the program. All four of the assignment files must be used
even though only SITE.ASG was modified in this example. This is due to the fact that a new UNITDATA.DAT is actually
being created by the DDLOCATE program and all assignments must be included in the new file.
To run the DDLOCATE program, type in the following command at the DOS prompt of the unit directory:
DDUTIL SORT
assigned to more than one point in UNITDATA.DAT. The results of sorting and validity-checking will be displayed on the
screen. The following message should be displayed indicating that no problems were encountered during sorting and
validity-checking:
new UNITDATA.DAT file.

pointname can be displayed with units and a value when inserted into a User Defined Display. To load the new
UNITDATA.DAT file into RAM, the primary operator interface computer must be reset by pressing CTRL + ALT +
DEL. When the reset process is complete, the screen will return to the Main Display.
8-4.5. Step 5 - Transfer New Files To Other s
If there are other s on the Stage Link that communicate with the unit and therefore also require the addition of a spare
logic point, the new SITE.ASG (or FACTORY.ASG) and UNITDATA.DAT must be copied to floppy disk and
transferred to them from the where the modification was made. After the new files are loaded, each must be reset in
order for it to display the new point name when entered.
8-5. ADDING AN ANALOG INPUT (T/C, RTD, MA INPUT)
As shipped from the factory, the Mark V Turbine Control contains some spare analog input points. As referred to in this
section, an analog input is an input to the control panel which has some analog value associated with it (millivolts from a
thermocouple, milliamps from a transducer, or variable voltage feedback from an RTD). Analog inputs differ from digital (or
contact) inputs in that they have a variable feedback signal not just a logic " 1 " or a logic " 0 ".
Adding an analog input to the Mark V control panel for use in monitoring, protection, controlling, or logging purposes
requires modification of the I/O configuration of the panel. To implement a new input in control or protection, modifications
to the Control Sequence Program are also necessary. This section describes the process of selecting a spare analog input
point, renaming it, making the necessary modifications to the I/O Configuration, and determining the I/O terminal board
locations to terminate the new input. For information on Control Sequence Program modifications see Chapter 5.
The steps involved in finding and renaming a spare analog input point are explained in detail in sections 8-5.1 through 8-5.8.

8-17
GEH-6195F
Application Manual
As an example, three new analog inputs will be added to Unit 1:
4-20mA input from a pressure transducer which is externally powered (i.e., a 4-wire device); the transducer
is calibrated for 0-1500 psig (4.0 mA = 0.0psig, 20.0 mA = 1500 psig) and is monitoring a 1200 psig steam
line
type K thermocouple which is monitoring the steam temperature in the 1200 psig line (normal steam
temperature in the line is 1000 F)
10-ohm copper RTD which is in a turbine bearing lube oil (L.O.) drain line (normal L.O. drain temperature
between 190 F and 200 F).
8-5.1. Step 1 - Choose Spare Analog Input Point

When a new analog input is to be added to the Mark V control panel, an appropriate scale type must be chosen. This
selection can be made from the scale type information in the SCLEDATA.DAT file. To accomplish this task, exit to DOS
from the Main Menu by pressing ALT + X and change to the appropriate unit directory (if the modification is to be made to
Unit 1, change to F:\UNIT1). Sections from the scale type information of the SCLEDATA.DAT file are as follows:
;/* sc_name

The scale name PRESS is used for the pressure transducer input (the input will be scaled more appropriately later) and TC
for the thermocouple and RTD inputs.
After the scale type/name has been determined, a name must be chosen for the new point. Pointnames should be as
descriptive as possible (up to a maximum of 12 characters) and follow the signal/device numbering scheme used elsewhere
in the control panel. In the example, the new pointnames for the inputs will be:
SPH1 for the 4-20 mA transducer input

STH1 for the thermocouple
LTBRGDRN1 for the RTD
None of the above inputs are critical: the unit/process can survive the failure or loss of the inputs.
From the Main Menu, exit to DOS by pressing ALT + X. Change to the appropriate unit directory (for example, if the
modification is to be made to Unit 1, change to F:\UNIT1). Open the UNITDATA.DAT file and perform a search of the
file for the pointname to be used. If the desired pointname is used, a new pointname must be chosen. This will entail a new
search that will hopefully produce a pointname that is not being used.

Application Manual
When choosing spare thermocouple (T/C) inputs, special care must be taken when deciding to add them to <Q>. <Q> T/C
inputs are brought into the control panel in three corresponding groups of 15. One group of 15 to each of the TCQA analog
input cards of <R>, <S>, and <T>. T/C input #1 is the first T/C routed to the TCQA of <R>; T/C input #16 is the first T/C
routed to the TCQA of <S>; T/C input #31 is the first T/C routed to the
TCQA of <T>; T/C input #2 is the second T/C routed to the TCQA of
<Q> Thermocouples
<R>; and so on. (See Table 1.) Two cases of thermocouple inputs to <Q>
<R>
<S>
<T>
exist, voted and non-voted. Voted, redundant inputs are used in control
and protection; non-voted, non-redundant inputs are used primarily in
TC01
TC16
TC31
monitoring and logging functions. In the example, a single non-critical
TC02
TC17
TC32
T/C input is added. As it does not require voting, it could have been
added to either <C> or <Q>.
TC03
TC18
TC33
For the purposes of this example, it is being added to <Q>. When adding
non-voted T/C inputs to <Q>, the other two corresponding processor T/C
inputs must be checked to determine if they have been used or are still
spares. If either or both of the other corresponding T/C inputs have been
used, it must be determined what type of T/C(s) is connected; only a T/C
of the same type can be connected to the remaining (corresponding) T/C
input(s). In the example, a T/C is connected to spare T/C input #9;
therefore, the other two corresponding T/C inputs to <S> and <T>,
numbers 24 and 39 should be checked to determine if they have been
used. If they have, it should be determined what type of T/C they are
connected to. For the purposes of the example, no T/C's have been
connected to 24 or 39. In the future, however, if T/C's were added to
either T/C inputs 24 or 39, they would have to be non-voted type K's
since a type K has been added to #9.

If voted, the redundant T/C's must all be the same type and must all be

connected to unused corresponding T/C inputs. For example, to connect
three redundant T/C's to the control panel beginning at T/C input #9, T/C
inputs 24 and 39 must be unused. To make three corresponding T/C
inputs voted, the IO.ASG file must be modified to let the control panel
know that the three redundant signals are to be voted as shown in the
following section of the IO.ASG file. T/C inputs 1, 16, and 31 have
been identified as voted inputs by renaming the signal name to TTI. T/C inputs 9, 24, and 39 are not identified as yet as
voted inputs (the hardware name and signal name are the same).

8-5.2. Step 2 - Modify I/O Configuration
The I/O configuration must now be modified to reflect the new analog input points. Click on the I/O Configurator
selection of the Main Menu. After a few seconds, the I/O configurator display will appear on the CRT. Check the top of the
I/O Configurator display for an indication that the processor which is currently selected (either <C> or <Q>). Click on the
proper target at the bottom of the screen to switch to the appropriate processor, if necessary.
The example requires that the <Q> Processor Menu be selected. To do this, click on the appropriate I/O card target (TCQA1) to display the configuration information for thermocouple input number 9.
The first screen which appears will be card revision information; click on the Next Screen target until the thermocouple

chosen and then press Enter (in this case, that would be 2048 for the signal type PRESS). The cursor will advance to the next
column of Signal 1, CDB Value at 4mA, where the minimum value of the calibrated range of the transducer
should be typed in before pressing Enter (in the example the value 0.0 was typed in since the transducer will be calibrated for
a range of 0-1500 psig). The cursor will advance to the last column of Signal 1, CDB Value at 20mA , where the
maximum calibrated range of the transducer should be typed in before pressing Enter. In the example, the maximum
calibrated range of the transducer is 1500.0 psi, therefore the value 1500.0 should be typed in. The Milliamp

To complete the RTD Type Selection, click on the Verify Screen target at the bottom of the display to confirm the
modification and then click on the Exit Card Def target to return to the <C> Processor Configuration Menu.
Once the analog input I/O modifications is complete, click on the Save and Exit target at the bottom of the display. This
saves the new I/O configuration files to be downloaded to the processors in Step 4, exits the I/O Configurator, and returns the
screen to the Main Menu.
The unit Data Dictionary must now be updated to include the new software signal pointname of the contact input point being
added. The file UNITDATA.DAT (one of the unit Data Dictionary files) must contain all of the signal pointnames and
from IO.ASG included in the file). UNITDATA.DAT is created by executing the DDLOCATE and using the four
assignment files (one of which is IO.ASG) as input to the program. All four of the assignment files must be used even
though only IO.ASG was modified in this example. This is because a new UNITDATA.DAT is actually being created by
the DDLOCATE program and all the assignments must be included in the new file.
To run the DDLOCATE program, type in the following command at the DOS prompt of the unit directory:

CHAPTER 9
STAGE LINK CONFIGURATIONS
9-1. OVERVIEW
Communication between the operator interface(s) () and the Mark V panel(s) is carried out by means of the control
system's Stage Link. In its simplest configuration, the Stage Link connects one Mark V turbine control panel to a single 
(or node) across a single segment (see segment definition below). This communication topology may however be expanded
to accommodate multiple s and/or multiple panels. For example, a single operator interface can be configured to issue
commands to and receive turbine data from up to eight Mark V gas/steam turbine controls. In addition, multiple s may be
attached to the Stage Link each communicating with multiple control panels. In this way, the Stage Link provides
enhanced flexibility for establishing effective communications which can be tailored to individual site needs.
The Stage Link was designed specifically to address turbine control needs such as downloading or uploading software
between the Mark V and the , issuing commands, alarm management, and monitoring. Distributed control systems (DCS)
interface to the Mark V via separate communication link(s) routed to the , typically using a ModBus protocol.
9-2. INTRODUCTION
This Chapter provides guidance and rules for successfully mapping Stage Links. Examples are used to help explain how
certain topologies maximize communication link availability and/or enhance network distances.
9-2.1. Terms of Reference
NODE: Any device connected to the Stage Link system that has a valid address; a <C> core
(communications processor), <D> core (backup communications processor), or an .
REPEATER: Electronic device that receives, amplifies and re-transmits Stage Link signals. The <C> and
<D> cores and a hub are considered repeaters, 's are not.
HUB: For the Stage Link, the hub is a 4-port repeater (two coax ports and two fiber optic ports) for
converting electrical signals to or from light pulses for fiber optic transmission or reception. It can also be
used as a repeater to amplify coax signals. It is not considered a node because it does not have an address.
SEGMENT: Any Stage Link section that joins two repeaters or connects one repeater to one or more
high impedance devices and ends with a terminating resistor. A segment may have multiple taps for high
impedance connections to 's.

9-3. STAGE LINK CHARACTERISTICS

The Stage Link consists of a 2.5 MHz/2.5 Megabit-per-second ARCNET system that uses either fiber optic or standard RG62 A/U copper cabling. Either type can be purchased with a variety of insulation systems such as flame retardant teflon or
high density polyethylene.
In applications that must meet IEC codes, GEDS recommends using armored co-axial cable. These cable types have a metal
sheath outer layer that functions as both a mechanical shield and as an electrical conductor that can alleviate lightning
induced disturbances on short outdoor runs. This outer layer must be grounded at each building's entrances and exits. Fiber
optic cabling prevents electromagnetic interference and is often a better alternative for long outdoor segments (See Section 910).

9-3.1. The Mark V Panel

Within the Mark V panel, the ARCNET cable should be connected to the CTBA card, which is located within the <C> (or
<D>) communication processor(s). The CTBA card communicates directly with the <C> or <D> communication
processor(s). This data exchange is carried out through the one internal port of a three port repeater; the remaining two ports
are for external customer use. Signals entering any one of these three legs are amplified and sent out through the other two.
Therefore, a signal entering the first external port will be sent to <C> and re-transmitted on the second external port. Signals
entering the internal port will be sent out on both external ports. Should the CTBA card loose control power, a relay deenergizes and connects the two external ports. In this manner, all the other nodes on the Stage Link can continue to function
as long as the topology is designed in accordance with the distance rules provided later in this Chapter.

maintain communication among the remaining nodes. This complicates the distances allowed between nodes
because the segment formed by any single failure still must not exceed 609.6 meters. For segments containing 's
this distance drops to 304.8 meters.

9-7. TOTAL EFFECTIVE DISTANCE RULES

Always calculate the total "effective cable distance" between the two network nodes that have the longest effective distance.
This is not always the nodes that are farthest apart physically. Each repeater has a delay equal to the delay in 25 meters of
cable. Effective distance is calculated as follows:
Copper (coax) cable length + (Fiber optic cable length * 1.25) + (number of repeaters * 25 meters)
with all lengths in meters
Total "effective cable distance" may not exceed 6000 meters.
The maximum 31 micro second propagation delay is approximately equal to the delay in 6000 meters of cable. As it is easier
to calculate "effective cable distance" than it is to measure propagation delay, this approximation is used. The deciding
factor is propagation delay, not total length. If questions arise about a particular application, it may be necessary to
measure the propagation delay.
9-8. REDUNDANT SYSTEM RULES
The two Stage Link systems, <C> and <D>, are not interconnected. Interconnections are not allowed as they will lower the
communication interface reliability; that is, both networks could be brought down by a common failure such as a shorted
coax or one node continuously transmitting.
The <C> and <D> cables can be routed independently to minimize opportunities for a common failure.
Typically unit control nodes are connected in a "daisy-chain" configuration. A cable from the <C> Stage Link is routed from
one physical end of the daisy-chain to the central control room. The <D> cable to the central control room is attached to the
opposite side of the unit control string. In this way, a break in the cable or loss of power to a <C> and/or <D> leaves all
other nodes accessible from some in the central control room.
On a system with a fiber optic link, the fiber optic repeater pair does not have bridging relays. Some customers may therefore
prefer to use two links to the central control room, one from each end of the chain of unit controls as shown on the Figure of
Example 1. In this example, one set of s in the central control room is operational if any one of the four fiber optic active
hubs fails.

9-10. FIBER OPTICS

Fiber optics can be an effective substitute for copper coax cabling, especially in cases where longer distances are required, or
electrical disturbances are a serious problem.
9-10.1. Advantages
Larger diameter fiber extends this to 9000 feet (2,740 m) because the light transmitter gets more light into the fiber.
If the plant is in a high lightning area, fiber optic segments can reduce the control outages caused by lightning.
Grounding problems are avoided with optical cable. The ground potential can rise when there is a ground fault on
transmission lines, caused by currents coming back to the generator neutral grounding point.
Optical cable can be routed through switch yards and other electrically noisy areas with no interference. This can
shorten the required runs and simplify the installation.
With proper cable jacket materials it can be run direct buried, in trays, or in conduit, being careful not to drop below
the bend radius.
High quality optical fiber cable is light, tough, and easily pulled.
The total cost of installation and maintenance of a fiber optic segment may be less than a coax segment.
9-9
GEH-6195F
Application Manual
9-10.2. Disadvantages
Fiber optic links require powered hubs, with a reliable source of AC power. Failure of power to either hub causes a
link failure.
The effective distance of a fiber segment is 1.25 times the actual cable routing distance. The rule for Stage Link is
that the total effective distance between the farthest apart devices must not exceed 20,000 feet.
The extra equipment required for fiber links can increase maintenance.
Cost, particularly for short runs, may be more for a fiber optic Stage Link segment.
Inexpensive fiber optic cable is easily broken during installation and more prone to mechanical and performance
degradation over time. The highest quality cable is recommended.
9-10.3. Review of Components

This section will review all of the basic components of a fiber optic system, including cable, hubs, and connectors.
9-10.3.1. BASICS. The recommended fiber optic hub accepts two copper coax connections and two fiber optic links. A
message coming in on any one of the four ports is repeated out the other three ports. Each fiber port consists of an outgoing
fiber and an incoming fiber. The incoming signal is picked up with a photo transistor and converted to an electrical signal.
The outgoing signal is converted from a train of electrical pulses to infrared light using a light emitting diode. On the fiber
segment the optical output of one hub is connected through the fiber cable to the optical input of the other hub. Two fibers
are needed for each segment.
Multimode fiber, with a graded index of refraction core and an outer cladding, is recommended for the Stage Link (See
Section 9-4.). The amount of light that gets into the fiber depends on the brightness of the light source and the area of the
light carrying portion of the fiber. The amount of light that comes out the other end depends on the clarity of the glass, the
distribution of the index of refraction, the condition of the fiber, and the attenuation of connectors. The amount of electrical
signal generated depends on the light coming out of the fiber and the area and sensitivity of the photo transistor. Tracking all
this is done by using a power budget (Section 9-10.4.).
The fiber is protected with "buffering" which is the equivalent of insulation on metallic wires and protects the cable from
excessive bends. Mechanical stress can damage fibers. One way to protect the fiber is to spiral it on the inside of a tube
filled with gel. A more reliable system uses tight buffering with precision tensioned Kevlar fibers which carry the stress of
pulling and vertical runs.
9-10
Application Manual
GEH-6195F
WARNING
Never look directly into a fiber. Although most fiber links use light emitting diodes which cannot
damage the eyes, some longer fiber links use lasers which can cause permanent damage to the eyes.
9-10.3.2. CABLE.
High quality fiber is recommended, especially for long distance links. It should be 62.5/125 optical cable as well.
Cable attenuation should be between 3.0 and 3.3 dB/km at 850 nm, and around 1 to 1.2 dB/km at 1300 nm.
The acrylate protective layer of the fiber should be specified with a 100 kpsi proof test and a 500 micrometer
coating, rather than the 50 kpsi and 250 micrometer coating.
Gel filled (or "loose tube") cables should not be used because of the special care required during installation, the
difficulty of making terminations and problems of maintaining the gel seal, particularly in vertical runs where
hydrostatic pressure can cause gel leakage.
Use a high quality "break out" cable, which will make each fiber in itself sturdy cable that helps prevent too sharp
bends.
Combine the sub-cables with more strength and filler members to build up the cable for resisting mechanical stress
and outside environment attack.
In Section 9-10.6, there are two sample specifications for fiber cable; one without armor and one with armor.
Rodent damage is one of the major causes of failure of optical cable. If there is a possibility of wire insulation
damage from rodents, the armored cable should be chosen. Otherwise, the armor is not recommended because it is
heavier, has a larger bend radius, is more expensive, attracts lightning currents, and has lower impact and crush
resistance. Particularly for underground runs, a direct lightning strike through the earth to the cable shield can cause
explosive formation of steam in damp earth that can mechanically damage the cable.
Test the optical characteristics of the cable with either an optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) which can be
provided by the manufacturer or with a simpler device that compares light levels at both ends of the cable.
Four-fiber cables can be used to bring redundant communications to a central control room, or the extra fibers can
be retained as spares. A less expensive option is to get the same cable with only two fibers.
9-10.3.3. HUBS. The type of hub described throughout this chapter is built particularly for ARCNET communications and
has the proper impedance to match the ARCNET line (93 ohms). For this reason a fiber hub intended for ETHERNET, for
example, will not function properly on the Stage Link. It consists of a power supply that runs from 120 or 220 volts AC 50 or
60 Hz. The two models can be converted by moving an internal jumper to accept the other voltage in case an error was made
in ordering.
The rack contains a power supply with sufficient power for 4 "expansion" cards. Each card has two copper coax ports and
two fiber optic ports. A signal coming in on any port will be amplified and transmitted on the other three ports. Ordinarily
only one card is used. If the system uses two fiber segments, a second hub is recommended to improve the communications
availability. On the card, normally only one copper port and one fiber port are used for the same reason. The fiber optic ports
in the hub's card have ST connectors which are the bayonet type. The light gray is the transmit port, the dark gray the receive
port. In service a light gray connector always attaches to a dark gray one.
9-11
GEH-6195F
Application Manual
9-10.3.4. CONNECTORS. Connectors come in two forms, SMA and ST. The ST connectors give less problems in the field
because they are bayonet type and not subject to over tightening. Over tightening the SMA connector can chip the glass fiber
surface causing problems with reflections and loss of transmission. The bayonet type effectively uses a spring to push the
two connecting fibers together with the proper force.
Ceramic, glass filled plastic, or stainless steel are used to make the connectors. They come in three standard sizes to fit the
different diameter fibers. Connectors for the 62.5/125 micron fiber are relatively easy to procure. The ceramic connectors can
be precisely made and match the coefficient of expansion of glass.
9-10.4. System Considerations
Having two 's in the central control room allows one to be down for maintenance while continuing control of the turbines
from the control room from the remaining . Similarly, having two fiber segments also allows for failure of one of the
hubs, or the power to it. A failure of any one of the copper segments also retains control of all machines.
Often only 's and possibly an <H> (Historian) will be near the central control room. It will have reliable AC, and if that
AC is gone, control from that location stops. Therefore, reliable AC in the control room is satisfactory for the hubs as well.
Another system consideration is the optical power budget for the Stage Link. The total budget refers to the brightness of the
light source divided by the sensitivity of the light receiver. These ratios of power are usually measured in dB to make
calculations easier. The difference between the dB power of the source and the dB power of the receiver represents the total
power budget. This must be compared to the link loss budget which is made up of the loss in the connectors and optical
cable. Installation of the fiber can decrease its performance over the new cable condition. The LED light source can get
dimmer over time, the connections can get dirty, the cable loss increase with aging, and the receiver can become less
sensitive. For all these reasons there must be a margin between the available power budget and the link loss budget of a
minimum of 3 dB. A good installation, including using correct parts and cabling, preparing connectors properly, and laying
the cable so as to avoid sharp bends and hot locations will help keep availability.
One fiber segment is specified to operate as far as 6000 feet with 62.5/125 microns fiber, and 9000 feet for the 100/140
microns fiber, by the hub manufacturer. These distance limitation have been incorporated into the Stage Link layout rules. It
is recommended that fiber optic sections used in the Stage Link must not be longer than the specified 6,000 and 9,000 feet
for the two fiber diameters. If the application significantly exceeds these distances another hub must be added to amplify the
optical signals.
9-10.5. Installation
9-12
Install the fiber optic cable in accordance with all local safety codes. Polyurethane and PVC are two possible
options for cable materials that might meet local safety codes. See Section 9-10.6. for some examples of specific
cables.
Proper planning is extremely important. Layout for the level of redundancy needed, cable routing distances, proper
application of the distance rules, and procurement of excellent quality hubs, UPS systems, fiber cable, and
connectors should all be included in planning the Stage Link.
Install the system so that it will be strong enough for indoor and outdoor applications, including direct burial.
Strictly adhere to the manufacturer's recommendations on the minimum bend radius and maximum pulling force.
Test the installed fiber to measure the losses caused by the cable and the connectors. A substantial measured power
margin is the best proof of a high quality installation.
The process of attaching the fiber connectors involves stripping the buffering from the fiber, inserting the end
through the connector, and casting it into an epoxy or other plastic. This typically involves using a kit designed for
the particular connector system. After the epoxy has hardened, the end of the fiber must be cut off, ground, and
polished.
The fiber hubs need reliable power, and should be placed in a location that will minimize the amount of movement
they must endure, yet keep them accessible for maintenance.

CHAPTER 10
MODBUS CONFIGURATION
10-1. INTRODUCTION
The Mark V control interface () acts as a slave to the Distributed Control System (DCS) master. The DCS can thereby
request information from each Mark V controller (such as flow rate values) by sending a MODBUS data request message via
the MODBUS link to a specific slave address. The DCS master can also issue MODBUS command messages to initiate
operator commands to each Mark V. These command messages support both push button commands (such as START,
STOP) and analog setpoint commands (such as preselected load setpoint).
The rate at which the data can be collected is limited by the transmission rate on the RS232 link, and by the turn-around
times of the computers on each end of the link. The DCS may issue no more than ten operator command messages per
second.
The processor slave configured with the appropriate address will reply with the requested data. At sites where the
optional multi-unit functionality is implemented (maximum of eight Mark V panels to an ), a single can act as
multiple slaves responding to multiple slave addresses.
The MODBUS interface uses Gould Modicon's MODBUS Protocol. The following text provides application information
only. It does not specify MODBUS Protocol.
Detailed information on the MODBUS protocol is available from Gould Inc.'s Reference Guide PI-MBUS-300 Rev B,
January 1985. This is not the MODBUS Plus specification. It is recommended that both this document and the Gould
reference guide are used together.
The system allows easy addition, deletion, or modification of the data lists by the DCS vendor or customer after
equipment installation. The data point capability of the Mark V turbine control system generally far exceeds the actual needs
of the DCS.
10-2. EXTERNAL COMMUNICATION LINKS
External communication links allow an operator at a remote location to initiate any operator command by sending a logical
command or an analog setpoint to an . Logical commands are used to initiate automated sequences which reside in the
Mark V control system, and analog setpoints are used to set a variable, such as the turbine load, to a predefined level.
It is occasionally more efficient to set targets with an analog number, such as megawatts, rather than manually entering
raise/lower commands. The operator can send a target setpoint which the Mark V enters into its data base and ramps to the
target at a predetermined ramp rate.
Any operator command which can be initiated from the can be initiated from the remote control system through a
communication link. This does not preclude the use of hard wired remote control interface. However, a traditional hard wired
interface can be I/O intensive and needs to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Maintenance commands (editing application
software, changing tuning constants, etc.) are generally restricted to being issued from an .
All application data in the Mark V can be monitored by the remote control system via the remote serial communication link.
The Mark V data base contains several thousand points, but usually less than 500 points are of interest to the remote control
system. These consist of logical data for alarm and event messages and "analog" or numeric data for such variables as speed,
load, vibration, temperature, and so forth.
10-1
GEH-6195F
Application Manual
One can interface with up to eight Mark Vs. Therefore, the external communication link to the remote control system has
the capability to communicate through the to up to eight Mark Vs. An can be located local, remote, or anywhere
within the distance limitations of the Stage Link system (for details on the Stage Link, see Chapter 9). The DCS or remote
control system can be located anywhere within the restrictions of the RS232 serial communication link.
10-3. RS232 & MODBUS
GEDS offers MODBUS protocol with an RS232 link as a level #1 communication link because it is compatible with most
control systems. The DCS is the master, and it issues a command to the Mark V which is the slave. Logical and analog
setpoint commands can be issued from the DCS to preassigned points in to initiate control action. Requests for data can
be sent to preassigned points in the and these points can be modified to include any point in the data base.
MODBUS, with an RS232 link, is adequate for most applications, but its limitations must be recognized. The limitations are
a 19,200 baud (bit/sec) transmission rate and the lack of individual time tags for alarms and events.
The RS232 link transmission rate makes it satisfactory for one or two units on a single communication link depending on the
amount of data which is requested for transmission. A major factor in determining the suitability of the MODBUS and
RS232 is whether the historical data base for the Mark V is local such as a Mark V Historian <H> or remote in the DCS. If a
Mark V Historian <H> is used, the communication link to the DCS is used to retrieve data from the Mark V. This data is
used to support the displays which currently appear on the monitors in the control room. This retrieval requires minimal data
transmission from the Mark V.
The communication link load is a function of the amount of data which the DCS is requesting and how often it is to be
transmitted. Data in the Mark V requires one word per analog point and one word for each 16 logic points (such as the state
of alarms and events). An evaluation of the link load for a specific application requires reviewing the amount and frequency
of the data transmission(s) and the specified baud rate and verifying that all is within the desired sampling rate.
In order to minimize the sampling rate for alarms, a contact output is provided from the Mark V to the plant alarm horn
system that informs the DCS that a new alarm has occurred. The DCS can then request a transmission of the alarm states
data. This eliminates the need to continuously sample the alarm queue at a fast rate. Some sites provide a remote printer to
get high resolution local alarm (62ms), event (62ms), and sequence of event logs in the control room without investing in
more sophisticated equipment.
10-4. PHYSICAL LINK LAYER/FORMAT
These sections detail the physical link layer/format of the MODBUS serial link.
10-4.1. Link Layer
Each processor can provide one point-to-point MODBUS RS232 serial link to a customer's DCS. Multiple MODBUS
serial links from any one are not possible. Since the master may communicate with multiple slaves, the will send
data upon request only. No periodic transmission of data from the is possible, except as a reply to a periodically
transmitted request sent from the DCS.
10-4.2. Physical Layer
The Mark V processor is used as the communications port for MODBUS, typically using the 's COM2 serial
communications port. If the COM2 port is not available, as in cases where a touch screen is connected to COM1 and the
cursor positioning device (trackball or mouse) is connected to COM2, a serial expander card is required to supply eight more
serial ports. The port used is configured with a DB9P (Male) connector as Data Terminal Equipment (DTE). Diagrams
showing this connection are shown in Figure 10-2.
10-2
Application Manual
GEH-6195F
The system is asynchronous RS232 compatible, 300 to 19,200 baud, programmable parity. It is compatible with full duplex
data sets (i.e. modems). Modem generated signals such as CTS (Clear to Send), CD (Carrier Detect) and RI (Ring Indicator)
are not required to enable the transmitter. The RTS (Ready to Send) and the DTR (Data Terminal Ready) on the are
always equal to "1" when the is powered up. This prohibits any multi-drop DCS configurations, as these signals cannot
enable or disable communications. Hardware handshaking (flow control via RTS/CTS signals) is not supported. It is up to
the master to only request data that it can reasonably expect to handle in a single burst. (See the section below on 
MODBUS Configuration for timeout configuration.)
GEDS does not recommend remote control of turbine products over a telephone modem due to the inherent unreliability in
this type of communication, and due to MODBUS timing errors introduced by error correcting modems. If it is necessary to
collect data or operate over telephone modems, the maximum number of bits that can be communicated is ten. Therefore the
standard eight bits of MODBUS data and the two bits for start/stop is all that can be accommodated. This means that
PARITY is not supported over telephone modems.
RS232 Modems are used for distances exceeding 50 feet. RS232 systems require two metallic shielded twisted pair wires to
connect the short-haul modems. While modems are supplied by GEDS, the customer must supply the cabling and
terminations. The standard modems supplied by GEDS require power on pin four. The modem connected to the obtains
its power from the serial port. The other modem must receive power on pin four from the DCS (see Figure 10-3). If the
DCS cannot supply power, the optional modem set is required and must be specified when ordering from GEDS. This set is
powered by an external source.
RS232 transmission distances are defined in

10-5. MODBUS CONFIGURATION
This section defines the required additions and/or modifications to configuration files on an to accomplish the following:
enable and configure the MODBUS task on the 

enable and configure a serial port for MODBUS communication
set up the MODBUS mapping tables
generate the related document for the DCS vendor
10-5.1. F:\CONFIG.DAT: MODBUS Enable and Configuration

Add the following line under the "OPTIONS" heading in the system configuration file F:\CONFIG.DAT to enable the
MODBUS programs on the processor (add the heading if not supplied):
OPTIONS
MODBUS = YES
Any option listed under the header must begin with at least one space or tab in the left-most column.
The MODBUS link out of the supports a TIMEOUT value. This is the amount of time that the processor is willing
to wait for the Mark V to return the data before it gives up and sends a NAK back to the master. The default timeout time is
4.75 seconds. The timeout value in the processor MUST be shorter than the timeout value in the master. If it is
not, the master will timeout first and send a second request. In this case, the processor, which had not yet timed out on
the first message, may then send the first reply back. The master may interpret the reply to the first message as the reply to
the second message and thus process the data incorrectly. If a timeout of 4.75 seconds is not desired, the timeout time may be
changed by using another option under the OPTIONS header (see above). The format of this option is:
MODBUS_TIMEOUT = time
where time is in seconds and fractional seconds n.nn. There must be a digit before the decimal point. Timeout values of
less than 1.25 seconds are not recommended.
When the timeout period has expired, the will send a NAK code back to the master. The default NAK code is 06, which
is listed as DEVICE BUSY. The can issue a NAK code of 04, which is listed as FAILURE IN DRIVE (see the section
on Message Errors, below). This can be done by using another option under the OPTIONS header (see above). The format
of this option is:
MODBUS_TIMEOUT_NAK = NAK4
The only valid option values are NAK4 and NAK6. Any other value will cause it to revert to the default of NAK6. A
message is given in the file G:\LOG\STARTUP.LOG if value is unknown.
10-5.2. F:\IO_PORTS.DAT: MODBUS Link Definition
10-5
GEH-6195F
Application Manual
The uses information in the port definition/configuration file, F:\IO_PORTS.DAT, to assign functions to its
available I/O ports. These ports include the parallel port (LPT1) and serial port (COM2), plus, the serial ports on an expander
card (if supplied). A serial port is configured here as a MODBUS link. The responds to commands sent from the DCS
based on the slave address(es) set up in this file, and decides what Mark V unit is to supply data for that address. The format
of the transmitted data (the mode) is also set here.
To customize F:\IO_PORTS.DAT, use the standard text file editor.
to help define a MODBUS link.
F:\IO_PORTS.DAT contains textual information
First define a serial port by adding the keyword "MODBUS" to the port definition. For example, to use COM2 as a
MODBUS port running at ninety-six hundred (9600) baud with no parity, add the line:
S2
BAUD 9600
PARITY NONE
DATA 8
STOP 1
IRQ 3
BASE_PORT 2F8
MODBUS
The port may be S2, or D1 through D8 if an expander card is supplied. F:\IO_PORTS.DAT contains a list of the key
words and defaults available for defining the physical ports (see that file for additional details). Do not use the port S1, as it
is always used for the cursor positioning device (configured in C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT). Do not use the S2 port if a touch
screen and/or track ball or mouse are supplied as the track ball or mouse will be configured on COM2. An expander card is
required in this situation. Only one port on an may be defined for MODBUS at one time.
When the port has been defined, add lines to define the slave addresses, the Mark V panel that will supply the data to each
address, and the format of the communicated data. In the example below, the acts as both slave 1 and 2. When the DCS
issues a command message to slave 1, the communicates with Mark V unit "T1". When the DCS issues a command
message to slave 2, the communicates with Mark V unit "T2". Both use Native Mark V data formats.

The must be restarted (rebooted) for changes in IO_PORTS.DAT to take effect.
10-5.3. Holding Coils, Input Coils, Holding Registers, Input Registers
Each Mark V that supplies MODBUS data must have a MODBUS Mapping file for each Mark V panel. This file
contains mapping tables to associate the registers and coils with Mark V control signal database (CDB) pointnames.
There are two categories of point mapping tables. They are, holding and input. The MODBUS protocol supports reading and
writing of holding table points, and reading but not writing of input table points.
The does not make any restrictions on what Mark V CDB pointnames can be in input and holding tables. The knows
on a point by point basis which points are Mark V commands and which points are not. A Mark V command is one of the
following:
LOGICS: pushbuttons
logic state variables.
ANALOGS: analog setpoints enumerated state variables
10-6
Application Manual
GEH-6195F
As such, the holding tables may be used exclusively, and the input tables may be omitted completely. Sending a MODBUS
write command to a point on a holding table that is not mapped to a Mark V command will have no effect and will be
ignored.
There are two classes of signals found on the two tables: coils and registers. A coil is one bit, and maps to a logic
Mark V CDB pointname, with a value of zero or one. A register is 16 bits, and maps to an analog Mark V CDB pointname,
or to a set of (up to) 16 packed logicals.
Multiple holding coils or registers may be mapped to any one Mark V CDB pointname. If the pointname is a Mark V
command, a write command from the DCS to any of the mapped holding coils or registers will cause the to execute the
Mark V command.
Combining the two categories of tables and the two classes of points yields four separate tables. Each table is limited to 2000
entries, numbered 1 to 2000. The table types are:
HC - holding coils one bit logic signals that are both readable and writable. Logic Mark V commands must be in this
table for the to issue the command to the Mark V; however, not all points in this table must be
logic Mark V commands. Logic Mark V commands are not writable from the holding register table.
IC - input coils
one bit logic signals that are readable but not writable. Any Mark V logic control database signal can
be in this table, but logic Mark V commands will not be writable from this table.
HR - holding registers 16 bit analog signals that are both readable and writable. Analog Mark V commands must be in
this table for the to send the command to the Mark V, but not all points in this table must be
analog Mark V commands. They can be any analog control database signal, or a set of (up to) 16
bit packed logic control database signals. Mark V logic commands can be packed into a holding
register, however, they will not be writable in that format. For the to issue a signal to a logic
Mark V command, it must be in the holding coil table. Simply put: packed holding registers are
not writable.
IR - input registers 16 bit analog values that are readable but not writable. Any analog control database signal, or a set of
(up to) sixteen (16) bit packed logic control database signals, may be in this table. Analog or logic
Mark V commands will not be writable from this table.
10-5.4. @SPARE: Unused Coils and Registers
If a request for any read or write command from the DCS using a coil or register not mapped to a Mark V CDB pointname,
the will respond with a NAK code of 02, which is listed as INVALID ADDRESS (see the section on Message Errors,
below). This prevents the DCS from interpreting the reply from the as data from the Mark V.
To define coils or registers without mapping them to Mark V CDB pointnames, map them to @SPARE in the mapping table.
This tells the that the Coil or register is not used, but is legally defined. The will respond to any DCS request with a
data value of zero (0) for all coils and registers defined as "@SPARE". It is not necessary to map all the points in the
mapping table. The "@SPARE" is used only to fill in the gaps or to format the table as required by the DCS.
Bit packed registers (logic control database signals packed into a 16 bit register) should not have unused bits defined as
"@SPARE". When any one bit of a register is defined as a packed bit, the entire register is defined as a packed register.
Therefore, omit defining the unused bits. Bits in a packed register not mapped to a logic Mark V CDB pointnames will
always send a value of 0 to the DCS. "@SPARE" can only be used on an unpacked register when the entire register is
unused.

F:\UNITn\MODBUS.DAT. Each line of the mapping file has three required entries:
Table_Type Table_Point CDB_Pointname
where Table_Type is holding or input, Table_Point is 1 through 2000, and CDB_Pointname is a valid Mark V
control signal database pointname. The Table_Point 1 is requested from the DCS as point 0. Bit packed registers are
defined with a digit after a decimal point in the register mapping. The 16 bits are numbered [0-15] (see Figure 10-5).
When adding or modifying entries in this file, the following rules and
guidelines apply:
; HOLDING_COIL TABLE
HC 0001 logic_signal_name
HC 0002 logic_signal_name
HC 0003 @SPARE
; INPUT_COIL TABLE [Optional]
IC 0101 logic_signal_name

IC 0103 @SPARE
; HOLDING_REGISTER TABLE

IR 0101
analog_signal_name
IR 0102
@SPARE
IR 0004.4 logic_signal_name
IR 0004.5 logic_signal_name
It is not necessary to define all the table points in this file,

only the ones that are desired.
Never define a bit of a packed holding register (such as
HR0001.1) as @SPARE. Defining just one of the bits as
packed defines the entire register as a packed register. A 0 is
returned for bits not mapped.
When a semi-colon is found in a line, the rest of the line is
considered a comment.
Do not add scaling information or definitions in this file, only
the required three fields.
Never add page breaks (form feeds) in this file.
The Table and Location may be joined or separated, such as
HC 0001, or HC0001, and the Location may be expressed as
0001 or 01 or 1, etc.
The Table entries may be in any order.
Figure 10-5. F:\UNITn\MODBUS.DAT
Do not map any one register to both packed Mark V CDB
logic pointnames and to an analog Mark V CDB pointname.
Do not have any one coil or register mapped more that once.
Group similar Mark V CDB points together, such as temperatures, speed signals, or Mark V command feedback
signals.
From the example in Figure 10-5, it can be seen that not all table points are defined or in order, comments are added using a
semi-colon ( ; ), there are no duplicate table point definitions, etc. However, the rules outlined above have been followed and
the file can therefore be considered correct.
The must be restarted for changes to take effect. After the has restarted, inspect the file G:\LOG\STARTUP.LOG
for any errors or warnings (search for "MODBUS").

10-5.6. MODBUS_L.EXE: MODBUS Listing Program

After F:\UNITn\MODBUS.DAT is completed, the document F:\UNITn\MODBUS.LST is created for use by the DCS
vendor for setting up the DCS. This file documents the MODBUS tables.
The MODBUS Listing Program, G:\EXEC\MODBUS_L.EXE, reads the necessary configuration files on the and
creates F:\UNITn\MODBUS.LST. This file contains a list of the coil and register maps, complete with scaling
information. A new listing file must be created each time F:\UNITn\MODBUS.DAT is changed, or when the mode defined
for the MODBUS link is changed in F:\IO_PORTS.DAT. This MODBUS listing file is the key to programming the DCS
end of the MODBUS link.
The MODBUS listing file defines the format and scaling of each mapped coil and register. Included in this list is an
indication of which signals are Mark V commands. To create a new listing file F:\UNITn\MODBUS.LST, type
MODBUS_L from the DOS line in the unit specific directory F:\UNITn.
The format is shown by typing
MODBUS_L:
MODBUS_L HELP which returns printout shown in Figure 10-6.
MODBUS LISTING PROGRAM
Command format: MODBUS_L [options]

options:
ENGLISH, METRIC, CUSTOM, HARDWARE
These options control the scale code set used to supply the gain,
offset, and engineering units for each point.
NATIVE, SIGN16, UNS16, UNS12
These options control the formatting of the raw data, with the
appropriate changes to the gain and offset for each point.
QUIET
This option disables the printout to the terminal of messages
indicating that a point name was not found in the dictionary.
The messages, however, will be indicated in the MODBUS.LST file.
NOLONG
This option produces a MODBUS.LST file without "longnames".
LONG
This option makes a MODBUS.LST with a nonlogic longname field of
66 characters. The nonlogic longname field default is 40 char.
Figure 10-6. MODBUS_L Command Format
The options in Figure 10-6 are used to modify the format of F:\UNITn\MODBUS.LST as follows:
scaling (ENGLISH, METRIC, CUSTOM, HARDWARE) determines which F:\UNITn\*.SCA file is used
(ENGLISH.SCA is the default file).
mode
(NATIVE, SIGN16, UNS16, UNS12) used must match the mode defined in F:\IO_PORTS.DAT.
MODBUS_L does not read this file, it must be added manually.
quiet
if used, F:\UNITn\MODBUS.LST should be checked for error messages, as the errors will not be displayed on
the screen.

Each line in Figure 10-7, F:\UNITn\MODBUS.LST contains the following information in this order:
(Write Status) Table Point | CDB Pointname | Mode | Gain | Offset | Units | Longname
Table Point
(Write Status)
indicates which one of the four Mapping Tables and what point on the table is used for this point.
A preceding plus sign "+" indicates that this is mapped to a Mark V command. In this case it is legal
for the DCS to request a write to the point, and thus the issues the command to the Mark V. The
listing in Figure 10-7 shows holding register 1 as an analog command, holding coil 1 as a logic
command, and holding register 9 as a enumerated state variable that can be written to the Mark V.
Logic Mark V commands can not be written if packed into holding registers (see above section on
holding coils and holding registers). In this example, a 0 may select "OFF", 1 may select "CRANK", 2
may select "AUTO", etc. Enumerated state variables are discussed in Chapter 5.
CDB Pointname
Mark V control signal database pointname that the coil or register maps.
Mode
transmission mode that the data is sent in over the MODBUS link.
Gain
required to convert the MODBUS value of registers to engineering units.
Offset
required to convert the MODBUS value of registers to engineering units.
Engineering Units
displayed units associated with the above MODBUS Gain and Offset for registers. A entry of "HEX"
indicates that this point is not normally converted into engineering units, but displayed in hexadecimal.
Special points, such as bit masks, are defined this way.

10-6. MODBUS DATA FORMAT AND SCALING
10-6.1. MODBUS Data Conversions: Logics
Logic control database signal values can be transmitted to the DCS using either coils or registers. Coil data conversion
corresponds to a single logic control database signal with the LSB indicating its state.
When registers are used to transmit logic control database signal values, each bit corresponds to the state of a logic control
database signal. A register having 16 bits corresponds to a group of (up to) 16 logicals with the least significant bit being the
first logic CDB signal in the group, and the MSbit as the last logic CDB signal in the group. The two bytes are packed into
the MODBUS message using the normal rules for MSB and LSB order. The values of undefined bits in a packed register are
transmitted as 0. See section 10-6.2 for details on the modes used in transmission of data, as some modes may not be
suitable for bit packed registers.
10-6.2. MODBUS Data Conversions: Analogs
Analog control database signal values can be transmitted using registers only. Since DCS vendors handle analog signals in
different ways, such as 12 bit positive numbers, the may be configured to transmit analog data in one of several modes.
The following modes are currently supported to meet customer needs. This section defines how to convert each data type to
engineering units. The MODBUS listing file (see above) defines the data type for each signal.
The conversion algorithms presented here define the conversion process at the most understandable level. The
implementation of these algorithms do not always follow these algorithms directly as there are many different schemes used
to prevent mathematical overflows in computations. The choice of the final implementation is left to the DCS vendor.
10-6.2.1. NATIVE. If a point is of data type NATIVE, all analog signals are transmitted in their internal Mark V
representation. This is the recommended mode because the signals can be transmitted directly without any manipulation
which could result in decreased resolution. The most common signal types used in the Mark V are as follows:
L1 logic signal, least significant bit indicating state zero or one.

F2 16 bit signed two's complement representation, range: [-32767,+32767].
C2 16 bit unsigned representation, range: [0,+65535].
H2 16 bit unsigned representation used for bit masks.
X2 16 bit unsigned representation used to form the lower 16 bits of long, 32 bit values.
10-6.2.2. UNS12. If a point is of data type UNS12, it is an unsigned 12 bit number. The function of this mode is to restrict
signals to a range of [0,+4095]. The MODBUS listing file's MODBUS Gain and Offset define the conversion into
engineering units, where the conversion is:
Engineering units = (Raw_value) / 4096 * GAIN + OFFSET

For example, if the register value of a thermocouple is requested, the listing file shows that the MODBUS Gain is 4096 and
the Offset is -2048 to get to DEG F. The conversion of the register value of 2118 to engineering units is:
Engineering units = (2118) / 4096 * 4096 - 2048
Engineering units = 70 DEG F
10-11
GEH-6195F
Application Manual
The conversion from SIGN16 to UNS12 causes a loss in resolution of 16:1 and should be avoided.
Certain internal signal types (e.g. H2, X2) become meaningless if restricted to the UNS12 range and would therefore be
transmitted directly without conversion (if requested by the DCS). Logics packed into registers also become meaningless if
the register's value is converted. The MODBUS listing file will list these points with a mode of UNS16. Fortunately most
analog signals that are of interest to the DCS are in an F2 representation. A gain of 1/16th is applied to F2 signals and 2048
is added to convert the range from [-32767,+32767] to [0,+4095]. The unsigned 16 bit signal type C2 is transmitted Modulo
4096 to also restrict the range to [0,+4095].
10-6.2.3. HW12. A special version of the UNS12 mode is available for use with some models of DCS systems. These
systems collect data using the normal UNS12 mode described above, but are unable to send analog setpoints to the Mark V
using the same GAIN and OFFSET conversion. In these DCS systems, no OFFSET is allowed in the conversion of analog
setpoint commands to MODBUS register values, only a GAIN.
To accommodate these systems, the HW12 mode reports data to the DCS using UNS12 mode, but uses a different formula
for analog setpoint commands sent from the DCS to the Mark V. This scheme allows the DCS the full positive range of the
Mark V command, but does prevent sending negative values. Analog setpoint commands in these systems are usually scaled
in percentages.
Make sure that the programming in the DCS reflects the fact that the scaling of the analog setpoint command to the Mark V
is different than the scaling of the feedback signal from the Mark V. (The HW12 mode analog setpoint command is the only
place where this is true.)
For data from the Mark V to the DCS, the conversion is the same as the UNS12 mode:
For setpoint commands from the DCS to the Mark V, the conversion is:
Raw_command_value = (Engineering units / GAIN) * 8192
Example: If a value position is requested, the listing file shows that the MODBUS Gain is 256 and the Offset is -128 to
get percent. The conversion of the register value of 2656 to engineering units is :
Engineering units = 38%
To send the analog setpoint command to set the valve to this same position of 38%, the analog setpoint command value that
must be sent is:
Raw_command_value = (38) / 256 * 8192
Raw_command_value = 1216
10-6.2.4. UNS16. If a point is of data type UNS16, it is an unsigned 16 bit number. This mode transmits F2 analog signals
as unsigned 16 bit numbers by adding 32768. The most significant bit therefore turns from a sign bit into a bit with a weight
of 32768. This transforms the range of F2 signals to [0,+65535]. The MODBUS listing file defines the MODBUS Gain and
Offset required to calculate the value into engineering units, with the conversion being:
Example 1: If an UNS16 is used for a normal counter, the raw value is the value of the counter. If a counter has the value of
418, it is converted as:
Engineering units = (418) / 65536 * 65536 + 0
Engineering units = 418
10-12
Application Manual
GEH-6195F
Example 2: A number that is normally a signed number in the Mark V is requested as an unsigned number. If the register
value of a thermocouple was requested, it shows that in UNS16 mode the MODBUS Gain is 4096, and the Offset is -2048
for DEG F. The conversion of the raw data value of 33888 to engineering units is:
Engineering units= 70 DEG F
No loss of resolution is caused by converting a SIGN16 to an UNS16.
10-6.2.5. SIGN16. If a point is of data type SIGN16, it is a signed 16 bit number. In this mode, the most significant bit of
the 16 bit analog signal is treated as a sign bit, where a one is used to for negative values. C2 type signals are transmitted
Modulo 32768 to prevent the sign bit from being set. H2 and X2 types are transmitted directly with an assumed value of
(-32768 to +32767). The convention of assuming the raw value is a fraction from -1.0 to +1.0 was used in defining the
MODBUS Gain and Offset. This allows the Gain to indicate the maximum (and minimum) value when the Offset is zero.
The MODBUS listing file defines the MODBUS Gain and Offset required to calculate the value into engineering units, with
the conversion being:
For example, Thermocouples are scaled with a gain of 2048 and an offset of 0 for conversion to DEG F. If the register value
is 1120, the conversion to engineering units is:
Engineering units = (1120) / 32768 * 2048 + 0
Engineering units = 70 DEG F

10-7.1. Introduction
This section describes the commands and responses supported by the to implement the MODBUS communications and
control functions needed. The will be a slave station on an RS232 data link and will respond to commands from the
master. Messages are transmitted and received using the RTU transmission mode, which is one of two MODBUS
transmission modes, where RTU transmits data in eight bit bytes. The other mode, where characters are transmitted in
ASCII, is not supported. The RTU transmission mode uses the format in Figure 10-9 (where slave address, function code,
CRC-16 MSB, CRC-16 LSB are all bytes.

CRC-16
bytes are two bytes that complete each and every MODBUS message. The abbreviation CRC stands for
Cycle Redundancy Check, MSB stands for Most Significant Byte, and LSB stands for Least Significant
Byte. These bytes are used for error checking and are calculated for each transmitted and received message
to insure that no transmission error has occurred while the message was in transit. The method for
calculating the CRC-16 is a public protocol and is described in numerous text books and the Gould
Modicon MODBUS Protocol Reference Guide. Please refer to these other documents for information on
calculation of a correct CRC.
10-7.2. Message Errors

When a message is received that cannot be acted upon, the message is either ignored and the waits for the next message
or it is responded to with an exception message.
Any messages that are misunderstood, incomplete, or altered in some manner as indicated by framing error, parity error, or
CRC-16 error are always ignored due to the fact that it is not possible to reliably determine for whom the message was
intended. It is the master's responsibility to detect this timeout condition and resend the message as necessary (see the section
 MODBUS Configuration above).
Any time a message receipt is in progress and an interval of time corresponding to 3.5 character times (based on the baud
rate) occurs without receipt of a character, the message receipt in progress is aborted and ignored. Message failures due to
other causes are responded to with an exception response if no reception error has occurred and if the message was not a
broadcast (slave address was zero).
The exception code responses that are supported when a normal response is impossible is shown in Figure 10-10 (see the
section above on MODBUS Configuration concerning exception codes 04 and 06).

CHAPTER 11
GSM GATEWAY (<G>)
11-1. INTRODUCTION
The GEDS Standard Message (GSM) Gateway enables up to eight Distributed Control Systems (DCS) to communicate with
Mark V turbine controls. Specifically, this device permits the issuance of commands (Administrative and Command
requests) and retrieval of (time-tagged) "periodic" and "event-driven" data from any valid Mark V database point.
Essentially an configured for data translation, the Gateway comes in two configurations: a stand-alone communications
gateway, <G>, and a combination gateway/operator interface, /<G>. A <G> configuration is a
single-purpose communication central processing unit (CPU) with no peripherals (keyboard, mouse, monitor). The device
does not operate as an .
Some applications require transmitting the high resolution local time tags in the Mark V for alarms (62ms), system events
(62ms), and sequence of events (SOE's) for contact inputs (1ms) to the DCS. Traditional SOE's have required multiple
contacts for each trip contact, with one contact wired to the turbine control to initiate a trip and the other contact wired to a
separate SOE instrumentation rack for monitoring. This SOE must then be integrated into the overall control system. Mark V
control systems use dedicated processors in each contact input module. This time stamps all contact inputs with a 1ms time
stamp, eliminating this initial cost and long term maintenance.
An ETHERNET link is now available with TCP/IP protocol to facilitate transmitting this data with the local time tags to the
plant level control. ETHERNET provides high speed 10 megabit transmission rates combined with TCP/IP, which is widely
used throughout the world. GEDS supplies an application layer protocol called GSM (i.e. GEDS Standard Messages) which
supports four classes of application level messages.
Adminstration Messages are sent from the Mark V to the DCS with a "Supported" message which describes
general communication link availability and which Mark V's are available for communication on that specific link.
Event Driven Messages are sent from the Mark V to the DCS spontaneously when a system alarm occurs or clears,
a system event occurs or clears and a contact input (SOE) closes or opens. Each logic point is transmitted with an
individual time tag.
Periodic Data Messages are groups of data points which are defined by the DCS and transmitted with a group time
tag. All of the 5,000 data points in the Mark V are available for transmission to the DCS at periodic rates down to 1
second. One or more data lists can be defined by the DCS using Mark V controller names and point names.
Command Request Messages are sent from the DCS to the Mark V. These include turbine control commands and
alarm queue commands. Turbine control commands include momentary logical commands such as raise / lower /
start / stop and analog "setpoint target" commands. Alarm queue commands consist of acknowledge and reset
commands as well as alarm dump requests which cause the entire alarm queue to be transmitted from the Mark V to
the DCS.
11-1
GEH-6195F
Application Manual
The ETHERNET link supports:

1. Up to 768 alarm points per Mark V. Note that a typical Mark V contains less than 200.
2. Up to 288 contact input SOE points per Mark V.
3. Up to 128 logical system events per Mark V.
4. Up to 2,400 simultaneously defined periodic data points per Mark V.
The /<G> is equipped with a color monitor, keyboard, cursor positioning device (CPD) and a printer. In a /<G>
configuration, the processor has two separate and complete computer systems; one for <G> and one for . The /<G>
enclosure contains two CPU cards, two ARCNET cards, two video controller cards, two hard disk drives, and two floppy
disk drives (3.5 inch diskette) and a single power supply. Access to each system is provided by a split backplane Texas
Microsystems Inc (TMI) enclosure located at the rear of the housing. A two channel Serve View keyboard controlled switch
from Rose Electronics allows the user to access the <G> or processor (see vendor supplied documentation). The <G>
half contains an ETHERNET controller board input.
For proper operation, the Gateway must be supplied with the necessary <G> communication software as well as the
appropriate configuration files. For more information on Gateway software, see section 11-3.
11-2. COMMUNICATION
Communication between the Gateway and the DCS is carried over a network comprised of five separate levels or layers.
Layers are defined by the International Standards Organization's Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) principles. The five
layers are Physical, Data Link, Network, Transport, and Application.
11-2.1. Physical Layer
The first layer or "physical layer" is an ETHERNET link. An industry standard, ETHERNET supports 10 megabit
transmission rates over thin or thick coax cabling. The characteristics of these cables are as follows:
ThinWireTM
(10Base2): per IEEE 802.3
< 607' (185m) without repeaters
Cable type: 50 ohm, RG 58 C/U

ThickWireTM
: (10Base5): per IEEE 802.3
< 1,640' ( 500 m) without repeaters
Cable type: 50 ohm, ETHERNET cable

Termination of the ETHERNET link at the Gateway requires a BNC "T" type connector equipped with a 50 ohm resistor.
NOTE
ETHERNET and ARCNET connections are made with BNC connectors. Make sure that the two
different network cables are attached to the correct ports at the back of the Gateway. The
ARCNET cable is connected to the port containing Dual Inline Package (DIP) switches and the
ETHERNET cable connects to the other port.
Although other physical networks may be implemented in the future (token ring, ARCNET, etc.), ETHERNET is the only
physical link layer supported by GEDS.
11-2
Application Manual
GEH-6195F
11-2.2. Data Link

The Data Link layer maintains a reliable communications link between adjacent nodes on the network. It inserts addresses in
the data frames and provides error control for the data. Within the Gateway, the Data Link is implemented by a packet driver
such as an ETHERNET driver program.
11-2.3. Network Layer
The Network layer is responsible for routing transmissions over the network. The protocol selected for this layer establishes
a path between the source and destination nodes. GEDS supports the use of the Internet Protocol (IP).
11-2.4. Transport Layer
The Transport layer facilitates transmission over the communication network by segmenting source-to-destination messages
into manageable "packets" before sending. It also re-assembles the packets at the message destination. For this application
the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is used.
11-2.5. Application Layer
The Application layer permits file transfers, virtual terminal emulation, and remote database access. It acts as a direct
interface for the "end user." GEDS supplies a standard message (GSM) protocol for this purpose (see GEI-100165.) Figure
11-1 depicts the layers that make up the OSI principles. Layers denoted by an * apply to the DCS/Gateway network (other
layers have zero length).

11-3. INSTALLATION/STARTUP
Installation and startup of the Gateway differs slightly for <G> and <G>/ configurations. These differences are limited to
hardware connections.
11-3.1. Connections
A <G> is a PC-based processor that has ETHERNET and ARCNET connections, but no other peripheral attachments. To
connect the device, attach the power cord and the two coax cables to the appropriate ports.
A keyboard and monitor is needed to install or update a <G>'s IDP Product Code and data files.
The <G>/ split backplane enclosure has two connection points each for the keyboard, monitor and CPD.
The keyboard controlled switch is used to share the monitor, keyboard and CPD between the and <G> halves of the
enclosure. There are four cable assemblies attached to the rear of the switch as follows (see Figure 11-2 for a connection
diagram:
PC-based computer power cord. Connect to the proper voltage using the international cord set and power multistrip
provided.
Common cable assembly tying the switch's input/ouput directly to the keyboard, monitor and CPD.

11-3.2. Applying Power

When all connections are made, power may be supplied to the CPU enclosure, monitor and keyboard controlled switch (see
figures 11-2 and 11-3). The keyboard controlled switch determines the keyboard type by monitoring I/O between the CPU's
and the keyboard during the power-on self test. Therefore, use the following order to apply power:
1.
2.
3.
Apply power to electronic switch.

Turn on Monitor
Turn on CPU.
11-3.2.1. SCAN MODE. If the Gateway is an /<G> device, the electronic switch allows "scan" mode. The scan button
stays depressed when pushed, then releases with a second push. The depressed position is where the selection takes place. If
the button is depressed it activates (or deactivates), but it is recommended to push the button a second time to return it to the
released position to be ready for the next cycle. Scan causes the screen to oscillate (at five second intervals) between 
and the <G> displays.
11-3.2.2. PROCESSOR SELECTION. The switch face has lights that show CPU status. A red light indicates which CPU is
connected to the keyboard, monitor and cursor positioning device.
Since /<G> devices have only one keyboard, trackball, and monitor it is necessary to switch between the CPU and
the <G> CPU. The electronic switch "NEXT" button toggles between the and <G> CPU's.
To obtain a screen prompt to recognize which processor is selected, use the following steps:
In the :
1. From AUTOEXEC.BAT
2. Update the prompt command to read PROMPT=$lI$g $p$g $
3. This results in the screen prompt

11-3.3.1. CONFIGURATION FILES USED IN <G>. With the necessary hardware properly connected and powered-up,
the Gateway may be loaded with the software that will permit communication with the DCS client. For the <G>, this
involves installing the appropriate Mark V configuration files and communication software. This can be accomplished by
following the same procedure used to load the software on the processor. Four disks are supplied for configuring the
 PC. Three of the disks are the IDP software and the fourth is the specific unit software (F:). Install this same software on
<G> by inserting the disks in the <G> A: drive and using the A: INSTALL command. Install the IDP disks in order then
install the unit-specific software to the F: disk. Not all of the files loaded from the F: disk are required to run the <G>. The
following data files must be loaded in the F:\UNITn directory (multiple panels require multiple directories such as T1, T2,
T3).
UNITDATA.DAT
ALARM.DAT
SCLEDATA.DAT
LONGNAME.DAT
All other files in F:\UNIT1 (including the \PROM subdirectory) may be deleted, but it is not required. The product code
IDP V3.5 or later is necessary for the gateway to operate properly.
11-3.3.2. FTP SOFTWARE. The process by which GSM sends data to the ETHERNET network requires FTP Software
Inc.'s PC/TCP software. If this software has not been installed, the initial <G> screen will depict a DOS prompt such as
C:\>. Install the FTP software as follows:
1.
Create a subdirectory for the FTP software. Type the command
2.
Change the default directory to C:\PCTCP. Type
3.
Change to the directory, PCTCP. Type

displayed.
4.
Load the FTP software. Insert disk #1 into the A: drive and type
5.
Repeat this step four for disks #2 and #3.
MKDIR C:\PCTCP
C: and press ENTER
CD PCTCP and press ENTER. The prompt C:\PCTCP> should be
XCOPY A: *.*

Copy the packet driver to the hard drive. Insert the disk labelled "SUPPORTED PACKET DRIVER DISK" into the A:
drive and type COPY A:\3C503.COM
11-3.3.3. CONFIG.DAT. Inspect the file CONFIG.DAT file on the F:\ drive to see that the GSM Server program is
enabled. The keyword "OPTIONS" must begin on the first column.Under OPTIONS, the keywords EVENT, SOE, and GSM
must be preceded by at least one blank space as follows: (there may be other options enabled in this section)
OPTIONS
EVENT = YES
SOE
= YES
GSM
= YES
Edit the IO_PORTS.DAT file on the F:\ drive to comment out the following line by putting a semicolon in front of it.
This prevents an error message during startup of <G>.
;MODBUS PORT S2 SLAVE1 UNIT T1 MODE
The port number (S2), unit designation (T1), and mode (native) are typical examples only. The PC can now be configured to
automatically run the <G> software by copying the template file from G:\DATA to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. To install
this file type the following command:
COPY G:\DATA\AUTOEXEC.GDP C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT
After the computer is restarted, the AUTOEXEC.GDP file provides the prompt display <G> C:\>.
The <G> software is designed to operate without using a keyboard, monitor, or CPD. As such, the device's BIOS SETUP
program must be altered to allow boot-up without a keyboard connection. To enter the program and make the necessary
corrections, press <CTRL><ALT>S. Use the up/down arrow keys to the "KEYBOARD" parameter on the setup screen.
Use the left/right arrow keys to select NOT INSTALLED. Press <ESCAPE> to exit setup. This also automatically reboots
the machine and makes the changes permanent.
NOTE
The BIOS SETUP program must be altered for <G> gateways, and is recommended for <G>/
combination installations.
11-3.3.4. ARCNET ADDRESS. Each Gateway must be assigned an ARCNET address. Gateway address assignments read as
follows:
G1 ==> 17H
G5 ==> 13H
11-8
G2 ==> 16H
G6 ==> 12H
G3 ==> 15H
G7 ==> 11H
G4 ==> 14H
G8 ==> 10H

enclosure for the <G>. The split backplane of a combined /<G> unit has three cards for the on the left (facing the
back) and four cards on the right for the <G>. The ARCNET card is identified with an BNC connector at the top, two LEDs
in the middle, and DIP switches near the bottom of the card. Reading from top to bottom, these switches are numerically
labelled 8-1. (On one type of ARCNET card: this may vary. See the IDP_CARD diskette sent with each and any
replacement card ordered for the . This diskette contains several text files that may have different instructions for
different types of ARCNET cards.) The least significant nibble is set by switches 1-4 and the most significant nibble is set
by switches 5-8. Therefore, setting the ARCNET address to 17H would involve setting the DIP switches as shown in Figure
11-4.

11-3.3.5. PC/TCP KERNEL. Figure 11-5 shows how information is transferred from the IDOS background task
GSM_SERV to the ETHERNET packet drivers, and subsequently to the ETHERNET card itself. The PC/TCP kernel uses a
configuration file for various functions. The file C:\PCTCP/PCTCP.INI contains various sections whose names are
surrounded by square brackets ([ ]). For example, the beginning of parameters used by the kernel section is delimited by a
line containing "[pctcp kernel]." Use the following steps to properly set up the PC/TCP configuration files on <G>.

Edit the C:\PCTCP\PCTCP.INI file.

a.
Under the "[pctcp general]" section:

Set the "host-name" parameter to "Gx" where "x" is 1 to 8 (<G> number).
Set the "domain" parameter to sitename.com. Substitute your sitename for "sitename".
b.
Under the "[pctcp general]," section:

Set "time-zone" to the correct value (EST, CST, MST, PST, etc.).
Set "time-zone-offset" to the correct offset from GMT (300 if EST, 360 if CST, 420 if MST, etc.) (GMT Greenwich Mean Time)
c.
Under the "[pctcp ifcust 0]" section the IP address for each Gateway must be set. Use the following IP addresses for
the "ip-address" parameter:
G1 ===> 192.1.1.1
G5 ===> 192.1.1.5

GEH-6195F
e.
Under the "[pctcp kernel]" section:

If the Gateways's PC/TCP software is loaded as described in section 11-3.3.7., the software serial number and
authentication key must be set. This information can be found on the diskettes used for the installation.
Type in the proper software "serial-number = xxxx-xxxx-xxxx"
Type in the proper "authentication key = xxxx-xxxx-xxxx"
f.
Under the "[pctcp kernel]" section:

Set the "window" parameter to 4096
Set the "host-table" to C:\PCTCP\HOSTNAME.TXT.
Comment out the "large-packets" and "small-packets" parameters by placing a semicolon at the beginning of these
lines.
Set the value of "tcp-connections =10".
Set the value of "udp-connections =4".
11-3.3.6. TIME TAGGING. The application layer used by the GSM is documented to time-tag data using GMT or UTC
(Universal Time Coordinated) as the time base. If the Mark V is using local time instead of UTC time, copy the time base
conversion datafile from G:\DATA into the top level of F:\. The command for this operation is as follows:
x:>COPY G:\DATA\GSM_SERV.DAT F:\

This template datafile has sample entries for EST. Add additional lines if required. Change the time correction factor as
required for the appropriate time zone the unit is operating.
Time corrections are: (S = Standard D = Daylight)
EST = 300 minutes
EDT = 240 minutes
CST = 360 minutes
CDT = 300 minutes
See section 11-5 for more details.
11-3.3.7. SYSTEM CHECK. When the steps described in sections 11-3.1.111-3.1.7 are completed, test the Gateway
setup. For /<G>, press CTRL-ALT-DEL to reboot. Un-plug the keyboard from the <G> immediately but leave the
monitor connected. (The reset pushbutton on an /<G> unit resets only the and has no effect on the <G>.)
For <G>, temporarily unplug the keyboard from the <G> and press RESET. Leave the monitor connected.
The startup display looks similar to an startup. If the system is functioning properly, the display ends up in fifty-line
mode (see figure 11-4) with the IDOS idle time showing in the upper left-hand corner. The IDOS time occupies the upper
right of the display. Below these time designation is a list of up to eight "clients" (these will likely show zero connections
and empty distribution lists). The IP address is displayed near the bottom of the screen. The physical address appears on the
same line.
To exit from the <G> NORMAL GSM_DOS DISPLAY press ESC.
To re-enter the display type
RUN_GDP or GSM_DOS.

11-4. GATEWAY SCREENS

Figures 11-6, 11-7, and 11-8 below show the network information provided by the GSM_DOS screens. In each display, the
time of day is updated once per second. This is local <G> time, not necessarily the time in the Mark V(s). All other
information is updated at 10 second intervals.
All displays use a text mode containing 50 lines by 80 characters.
On the upper left of the display is IDOS idle time expressed in percent. Below that is information regarding TCP/IP
connections for each possible DCS client. Unused connections are left blank. For each TCP/IP connection,
the IP address (using standard dotted-decimal notation) and foreign TCP/IP socket number (in decimal) is shown. To the
right of these, is a list of "distribution lists" for any turbine unit associated with the client. Up to eight turbine units are
supported by the <G>.
If the DCS client is on a distribution list for a given unit, the unit number is displayed (otherwise, it is blank). Possible
distribution lists include alarms, software detected events, and digital inputs (SOE). In the sample displays shown, the client
is on the distribution list for turbine units 1, 2 and 3. The information on the far right is a summary of the number of
"periodic" data lists defined by the DCS, and the grand total number of periodic data points collected. This is the grand total
of all units combined.
Below the DCS client information lines are two lines showing network information. This information includes the following:
<G>'s local IP address (using standard dotted-decimal notation)
<G>'s physical ETHERNET address (in hyphenated hex format)
total number of ETHERNET packets received and transmitted
total number of ETHERNET receive and transmission errors. Excessive errors, particularly transmission errors,
generally indicates an unterminated network, or a bad network configuration.
This information is common to all three display pages. Display pages two and three show internal diagnostic counters. To
cycle through each diagnostic display page, press <CTRL-D> (for diagnostics). The display is immediately cleared and
reformatted. However, display information may take up to 10 seconds to appear on the screen. Press <CTRL-D> once to
cycle to page two. Press again to cycle to page three. A third press cycles back to page one.
The page two diagnostic shows information about the ETHERNET interface. This includes a summary of receive errors due
to various reasons and a summary of transmission errors due to other reasons. The main item on this page is the "minimum"
number of large and small buffers that are free at any one time. If either of these counters is zero, then the <G>
communication system was overloaded at some point in time.
The page three diagnostic shows information regarding the PC/TCP kernel. There are four groups of information regarding
the protocols used by the kernel. These include Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) counters, Internet Protocol (IP)
counters, User Datagram Protocol (UDP) counters and Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) counters. The <G>
computer does not use UDP, so all of the UDP counters should be zero.

11-5. PERIODIC UPDATING OF <G> CONFIGURATION

The <G> computer may require periodic updating. This may include updates to IDP Product code, but generally will only
involve the updating of a single datafile within the <G>.
To stop GSM_DOS for <G> updates, press <ESCAPE>. Any current DCS client TCP/IP connections are immediately
terminated. Next, type IDOSEXIT, to terminate the protected mode communication programs. The system is now ready for
updating.
IDP Product Code updates are done the same way as they are applied to an computer.
One file that may need periodic updating is F:\GSM_SERV.DAT. This is a datafile that defines corrections to Mark V
"Local" time so the <G> can properly convert "Local" time to UTC Universal Time Coordinated. The reason for "periodic"
updating of this file is that shifting of "Local" time to/from daylight savings time is not consistent from year to year.
If the Mark V panel(s) are already running using UTC, this file does not need to exist. Otherwise, this file needs one line for
each shift of standard time to/from daylight savings time. If "Local" time never switches back and forth to daylight savings
time, this file only requires a single line in it to define the static correction to UTC.
Figure 11-9 shows a sample F:\GSM_SERV.DAT showing corrections for the U.S. Eastern Time Zone. If the local time
zone was the U.S. Central Time Zone, each "correction" shown would have 60 minutes added to it. If the local time zone is
the Atlantic Time Zone, each "correction" would have 60 minutes subtracted from it.
To restart the <G> after updates are made, at the DOS prompt type RUN_GDP.
NOTE
If the Mark V configuration files are modified in the used to download the panel (UNITDATA.DAT,
ALARM.DAT, SCLEDATA.DAT and/or LONGNAME.DAT), then these files must be copied from to <G>.
Failure to do so can result in invalid data/command translations in the <G>.
11-6. SYSTEM CAPACITIES
The following represent the maximum limits for Gateways using the DOS-based program GSM_DOS.EXE:
Maximum of eight Mark Vs per Gateway
Maximum of eight GSM client connections per Gateway
Maximum of 32 "event driven" distribution lists per Gateway
Maximum GSM message size = 4078 bytes
Maximum of 200 "periodic data lists" per Gateway, each with a maximum of 96 data points defined per list (19,200 data
point maximum per Gateway).

APPENDIX A
HARDWARE JUMPERS
A-1. INTRODUCTION
Hardware jumpers are used to configure Mark V hardware (printed circuit cards and terminal boards) to meet specific
application requirements. The purpose of this appendix is to introduce the specific manner that the jumper customizing
process is applied.
A hardware jumper consists of a pin, or series of pins mounted perpendicularly to a printed circuit board, and a plastic and
metal jumper that can be manually inserted over pairs of pins. When the jumper is placed over two pins, a connection is
made and the function associated with those pins is enabled. When not in use, a jumper may be stored in proximity to a
specific pin arrangement by placing the jumper over only one pin. This does not create a circuit connection, but will be
available if a change is necessary.
WARNING
Hardware jumpers perform a wide variety of functions. These devices regulate operations such as
card frequency, memory storage, overspeed trip settings, and system grounding. Improper
application of hardware jumpers can cause significant damage to the system or personnel.
A-1.1. Table Formatting
Tables have been used to show options available. Each table in Appendix A represents a breakdown of hardware jumpers
that correspond to a specific circuit card or terminal board.
For printed circuit cards, tables are divided into five separate columns (see Figure A-1). Reading from left to right, the first
column indexes the card that the table is referencing such as DCC or LCC; the core(s) where the card is found such as <R>,
<S>, or <T>; the location(s) of the card within these core(s) (identical cards may occupy multiple locations within multiple
cores); and a card revision number (Rev.). The second column gives the number of the jumper being identified. The third
column defines the position(s) to place a jumper for a specific pin configuration. This category is subdivided into separate
listings when an individual pin configuration has multiple functions. The fourth column of the table (Application Notes)
describes the functions of the various pin configurations.

Application Manual
Default Setting is a point of reference with regard to a jumper's pin configuration (see Section A-1.2 of this Appendix) as it
is shipped from the factory. This is done to relate as closely as possible to what is depicted by a board's silkscreen. A default
position is not be regarded as an absolute reference. Differing job applications may require jumper settings other than the
default position setting.

A new version of the hardware jumpers has arrived. Both the old version and the new version will remain in use. The help
for the old version will continue to be available in this appendix. Help for the new version resides here as well, but the
primary help for the new version should be accessed on-line. The main menu of the should have a help button for
hardware jumpers. If not, theanimated display files CARD_HLP and HJ_HELP can be accessed to create the help file.

Note 5: TCEA -- High Pressure and Low Pressure Shaft Trip Frequency is the pulses per second from the speed sensors
("magnetic pickups") that will result in an emergency overspeed trip. See Chapter 7 of this manual for additional information
about overspeed trips.
Trip Frequency = Trip RPM * #teeth/60 sec/min = Base Frequency * {100 + Binary Sum/4}/100
or, solving for Binary Sum,
Binary Sum = {(Trip Frequency/Base Frequency) -1} * 400
Where Binary Sum is the decimal equivalent of the binary weighted values.
For example:
Gas Turbine
Steam Turbine
Rated RPM = 5100, Emergency Overspeed set to 112%, 60 teeth on pickup wheel.
Base Frequency = 5100 * 60/60 = 5100 Set J15 = 0, J14 = 1, J13 = 0, J12 = 1.
Binary Sum = {(5712/5100) - 1} * 400 = {1.12 - 1} * 400 = 48; in binary, 48 = 110000.
Set J21 = 1, J20 = 1, J19 = 0, J18 = 0, J17 = 0, J16 = 0.
Rated RPM = 3600, Emergency Overspeed set to 110%, 160 teeth on pickup wheel.
Base Frequency = 3600 * 160/60 = 9600. Set J15 = 1, J14 = 0, J13 = 0, J12 = 0.
Binary Sum = {(3690/3600) - 1} * 400 = 40; in binary, 40 = 101000.
Set J21 = 1, J20 = 0, J19 = 1, J18 = 0, J17 = 0, J16 = 0.
WARNING
Later versions of software set the emergency overspeed jumpers differently (TCEA F#BDA or later firmware).
Run the I/O Configurator for jumper settings. Enter the appropriate setting in the HP input frequency for
overspeed trip setting field, and then clck on the verify screen target. This will update the required hardware
jmper settings.

Note 6: TCEA -- High Pressure and Low Pressure Shaft Trip Frequency is the pulses per second from the speed sensors
("magnetic pickups") that will result in an emergency overspeed trip. For the G#B vintage of the TCEA the exact frequency is
set via the I/O Configurator. While in the I/O Configurator, the required settings for the jumpers will be displayed on the screen.
The binary value of the jumpers MUST be equal to the selected trip frequency divided by 16.
Binary Value = (Trip Frequency/16)
Where Binary Value is the hexadecimal equivalent of the binary weighted values.

Suicide Enable - Current Fault. Servo valve regulator outputs can be configured to be driven to zero output current on
current fault detection. A current fault is defined as the condition where actual current differs from requested current by
more than 25% of the maximum output current. A current fault condition causes a diagnostic alarm to be generated. The
function Suicide Enable allows the individual processors to short the output and force their individual output current to zero
(0). The objective is to allow the other two processors to control the output. The desired zero (0) output current is achieved
by shorting the output with a pair of relay contacts. The method used has the affect of shorting two regulator outputs (1 and
2, 3 and 4, and such for A systems; 1 and 5, 2 and 6, and such for B systems). If this feature is enabled, control loss of one
regulator causes two regulator output currents to be forced to zero (0). The overall system design needs to take into account
limitations which affect regulator assignments.
Valid Answers: YES/NO
Suicide Enable - LVDT/R Fault. The function LVDT/R fault reduces the servo-valve regulator output current to zero
(0Ma) when the position feedback is out of the limits either set by the Suicide Position Limits variable for newer version
systems or preset limits of -2% and 102% for older systems. The regulator position feedback is monitored to determine if the
device is operating properly. If the feedback is determined to be in error, a diagnositc alarm is generated. In addition, if
LVDT/R fault suicide is enabled, the output current reference is set to zero (0) to eliminate only the specific regulator.
Current Bias is the amount of rated current required to hold the hydraulic servo at its present location. Hardware jumpers
on the TCQC select the rated regulator current capability. The hardware jumper settings are written on the board, and are as
follows:
10 Ma Gas Turbine
20 Ma Fitchburg Medium Steam Turbines
40 Ma Large Steam Turbines
The current bias is set to 3% for heavy duty Gas and Steam Turbines and 25% for aircraft derivative Gas Turbines.
Current Gain is application dependent. The value is expressed in percent (%) of output current expected for a 1% change
in position reference. Application specific values are furnished in turbine department control specifications.
Zero and 100% Stroke constants correspond to the number of volts representing 0% and 100% stroke. Application specific
values are furnished in turbine control specifications, but adjustments will need to be made based on the characteristics of the
LVDT.
Position Limits. Type 6 and 7 regulators are position integrator (PI) control loops. Thus, the integrator needs to have
negative and positive saturations defined. Typically, these values are -10% and 100%.
Integrator Convergence Gain. For type 6 and 7 regulators, the integrator output reference values are voted and returned to
the individual regulators in a TMR system to prevent divergence of position references. The convergence value must be

given significance when it is factored back into the individual control loops. The Integrator Convergence Gain provides this
significance, for example 1/3 = 0.3333. Experience has shown that .3 is a good approximation.

H(x) = Kp *
Position Reference Time Constant applies only to the type 6 regulator. The constant is the Ts portion of the PI controller.
Time Constant Data for Type 7 Regulators. A typical application for this regulator type is Speed Ratio Valve control.

---> FSR
At startup, with zero to low fuel flow, the GCV is relatively closed and is limiting the total system flow. A small change in
the SRV's position produces a high rate of change in the pressure P2. Therefore, the
intervalve time constant is high under this condition.
When the turbine is running normally, the GCV is open, and limits the flow less severely. A small change in the SRV's
position produces a small rate of change in the pressure P2 and the intervalve time constant is low.

To define this line we need an (x,y) position and the slope of the line. The values of these constants are application
dependent and must be specified by the Turbine Department. This information corresponds to the following I/O configurator
constants.
SRV Warmup Time Constant is the y coordinate, from 0.0000 to 8.0000 seconds.
SRV Warmup Time Constant Gain is the line's slope, from 0.0000 to .62500.

Suicide Enable - Current Fault. Current fault on Outputs 1 and 2 are individual. Therefore, the choice of suicide enable is
application dependent. These are typically not enabled for Simplex applications and are enabled for TMR applications. A
current fault is the condition where the actual output differs from the reference by 25% of the requested output's full scale.
This condition alarms loss of valve control. The suicide enable function allows the control to short the output from an
individual processor across a relay contact to drive the current being supplied by that processor to zero and allowing the
other two processors to control the output.
Control Data Base (CDB) Variable Full Scale is set to the maximum value of the scale type of the point assigned.

Signal 2 associated with regulator type 78, 7B, or 7C, when used.
General. The first two inputs (signals 1 and 2) are intended for gas fuel pressures. Therefore, the outputs from the devices
must be connected to three separate pairs of screws, one pair for each of <R>, <S>, and <T>. The TCQA also can supply 24
volts regulated excitation for the devices. The last two inputs (signals 3 and 4) have only one pair of screws each as they are
fanned out to the separate processors.
Signal In Use defines if the voltage input is used.
Full Scale Control Data Base Value constant is set to the maximum value of the scale type of the point assigned with it.
Minimum and Maximum Control Data Base Value are used to calibrate the voltage input to the desired range.

Tune disturbance magnitude (tune only):
3.906%(-10 to 10)
Note:: For type 7 regulators, 1% equals 16 psi.

Tune Mode causes the valve to step by a user defined percentage while data of actual position vs. requested position is
gathered at 128 Hz. The data can then be plotted to allow the user to tune the system. This is a manual tuning process and
not an auto tune.
Regulator Selection defines the regulator to monitor. Valid selections are regulators 1 through 8. When in Tune mode only
the first regulator selected is monitored.
# Traces after Trigger applies to Trace Mode only.
Sample Rate in Hertz applies to Trace Mode only, as Tune Mode is always sampled at 128 Hz for two seconds:
- 1 second for Disturbance Period
- 1 second for Normal Reaction.
Disturbance Magnitude is the percentage to step the reference in Tune Mode The default value is 5%. For example, if the
reference is steady at 10% then the disturbance puts the reference at 15%. After one second, the reference goes back to its
value of 10%.
Trace Mode allows the user to record the actual valve position vs. requested valve position. A trigger, such as the turbine
tripping, is set up in sequencing. At the occurence of this trigger, the trace buffer records the above information. The data is
frozen until it is reset by a one-shot pulse applied to the database point Trace.
Regulator Selection defines the regulators to monitor. Valid selections are regulators 1 through 8. The Trace function works
for two separate regulator feedback pairs.
# Traces after Trigger determines the number of samples to save after the trigger occurs.
Sample Rate in Hertz determines the Trace mode sampling rate, as given by the following equation:
Period of sample = (128/Sample Rate) seconds
Valid sampling rates are 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, and 1 for sampling periods of 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128 seconds respectively.

Cold Junction Filtering determines the number of readings used in a floating average noise filter. Cold junction filtering is
defined by Mark V system designers and is changed based on experience. It must be set in a power of 2.
Seismic Vibration Transducer Open Circuit is expressed in terms of the Open Circuit voltage expected to indicate that the
transducer has failed (open circuit). The circuit below illustrates the transducer circuit. The voltage V2 is the value being
measured. The resistance R is dependent on the type of transducer used and is provided by the Turbine department. In
general, any value of R greater than 2 Kohms is considered a faulty transducer. This corresponds to a voltage V2 of approx.
1.43 V.
A small DC current is fed into the circuit to determine a transducer fault condition. The DC current I produces a voltage V2
at the terminal boards. The voltage is measured and compared to the Seismic Vibration Transducer Open Circuit constant. If
the measured voltage is greater than the constant, a diagnostic alarm is generated. The actual vibration is the AC component
that lies on top of the DC voltage signal from the transducer.

Assign channels 1-3 as 'not used' when connecting accelerometers as inputs.
Proximitor Types General are RF devices that measure the distance between an object and the device itself, such as the
distance between turbine shaft and the proximitor. The device's output is a voltage signal inversely proportional to this
distance. The voltage's AC component is interpreted as vibration while changes in the DC component are interpreted as
position changes.

Transducer Sensitivity, expressed in Volts/mil of vibration, is a function of the transducer. The transducer types are either
generic Bently Nevada Position/Proximitor Probes or Differential Expansion Probes. The Gas Turbine department specifies
these values. Typical values for these transducers are:
- Generic Vib/Position Probes .2 Volts/Mil
- Differential Expansion
.1 Volts/Mil
Proximitor Low Limit Diag & Proximitor High Limit Diag. The Bently Nevada proximitors have an operating range of 0
to 20 V. However, the probes are only linear from 2 to 16 V. Any value out of this range is non-linear and the device is
considered failed when used to sense vibration.

Position Inputs measure the output signal's dc component. A change in the dc component indicates change in position.
Transducer Sensitivity is described on the previous page. The Gas Turbine department specifies these values.
Position Offset specifies the starting distance between the proximitor and the device being measured. The proximitor is
installed at a 45 Mil distance from the monitored object under ideal conditions. However, this is not always possible or exact
due to the method used to install these devices. The constant zeroes this measurement.

Key Phasor inputs are a special proximitor input application. A key phasor is a notch cut in the turbine shaft. The leading
edge of the notch is defined as zero degrees. The phase information is used by algorithms in the Mark V to perform Fast
Fourier Transforms.
Proximitor Diagnostic Low and High Limits are set to 0 V and 18 V respectively to alarm device failure. These limits can
be set out of the device's linear range since the only point of interest is the leading edge of the notch. The key phasor notch
may actually be deeper than the total distance the proximitor can measure. Therefore, readings of 0 or
18 V dc, the maximum and minimum distances respectively, are permitted since 0 V indicates the leading edge.

current fault is the condition where the actual output differs from the reference by 25% of the requested output's full scale.
This condition alarms loss of valve control. The suicide enable function allows the control to short the output from an
individual processor across a relay contact to drive the current being supplied by that processor to zero and allowing the
other two processors to control the output.

Inversion Masks (Inv Msk). The logic points associated with the hardware points are inverted when the inversion masks
are set to a "1". When this is the case, an open input (a "0") results in setting the logic point to "1". This is the default for
fail-safe tripping and alarming. When the point is used, the scale type for the associated software point determines its
inversion. CIM receives a "0" inversion, and CIM_I receives a "1" inversion.
Change Cell Detect masks (Chg Det) are defaulted to a "1". This enables the point to be detected by the system when it
toggles. This information can then be sent to a printer, a file, or elsewhere. The field or customer can disable this feature for
a point that toggles frequently by setting its change cell mask to a "0".

B-7. TCEA, CORE

The three TCEA cards are in the MarkV Protective Core, and are called <X>, <Y>, and <Z> individually. Both TMR
and Simplex panels have all three TCEA cards. TMR applications configure only TCEA_1, as each controller <R>, <S>,
and <T> view only one card each. Simplex applications configure TCEA_1, TCEA_2, and TCEA_3, as all three cards are
seen and voted in <R>. The TCEA card configuration defines the following functions:
- Breaker and Frequency Shift Definitions
- Flame Detect Thresholds
- Overspeed Trip configuration
The PTBA termination board is used to connect the input signal wires for the Core functions. There are no requisition
variable hardware jumpers to set on the PTBA termination card.

Scaling Frequency shift:

Breaker 1 close time defines the number of cycles required between the time the breaker closure is initiated from the Mark
V controller to the time the breaker actually closes. The constant is specified in cycles so it is independent of the
turbine/generator set frequency. The constant is necessary for breaker closure to occur at approximately zero phase
difference between the generator and the system bus for a zero current flow through the breaker at closure time. The Turbine
vendor specifies the value since the constant is dependent on breaker type.
Breaker 2 close time performs the same function as breaker 1 close time for a second breaker if required.

GEH-6195F
Breaker adjust limit. The Mark V synchronizing function adjusts the Breaker Close Times defined above by comparing the
time the breaker closure signal was sent from the MK5 to the time the breaker actually closed, as the actual time may change
with the age of the breaker. The Breaker Adjust Limit constant specifies the limit the control is allowed to adjust the Breaker
Close Time constants. The adjustments are made in increments of one. For the values above, the initial close time is set at 5
cycles. If the actual required close time becomes 8 cycles, the Mark V controller adjust the 5 to an 8, taking three closures to
make this change. If the time required becomes 9 cycles, the Mark V does not make another adjustment, but leaves it at 8
and will generate a diagnostic alarm. The Turbine vendor specifies the constant.
Breaker self adaptive correction enables the Mark V adaptive control function. The majority of applications will use this
function. The Turbine vendor should make the final decision if there is a question.
Scaling frequency shift is used in internal calculations based on the Maximum Frequency Scaling. A shift of 0 corresponds
to a max scale of 64Hz. The number can change only if internal changes are done to the Mark V database and is therefore
set by the system designers at GEDS.

Detection level values are flame detector pulses

during the 1/16 second sample period.
Flame Detect Threshold is based on the number of pulses generated by the flame detectors in 1/16th of a second. A value of
2 in this field is equivalent to a 32 Hz signal from the flame detectors. Normal operation produces a 300 Hz signal, or about
18 pulses in 1/16th of a second.
The detection levels A and B are both low limits that set the number of pulses per 1/16th of a second and indicate flame is
present. Two Mark V logic signals determine which of the two sets of limits to use, one for detectors 1-4 and one for
detectors 5-8. Set Detection Level A to 2 and Detection Level B to 4. Individual applications, such as Dry Low Nox, may
require other values. Feedback from the field is required to change these numbers.

Trip Anticipation function monitors the turbine's acceleration. The acceleration can be so high that the turbine reaches and
exceeds the overspeed point in an extremely short time. By the time the controller issues the trip and the valves react
accordingly, the turbine may already have been damaged. When this high acceleration rate is detected and this function is
enabled, the Mark V issues a trip instead of waiting for the overspeed detection. Trip Anticipate is used exclusively on large
steam turbines.
HP base speed index specifies the HP shaft design speed. The rotor design speed is fixed and is independent of operating
speed. For example, a 5001 is designed to run at 5100 RPM. But on certain gear box combinations the actual operating
speed is 5105 RPM. Therefore, to the controller, 100% speed is 5105. However, to the TCEA card 100% speed is 5100
RPM. Additionally, there are a finite set of speeds that are acceptable. The constant must be equivalent to the hardware

HP overspeed index is the rated DESIGN speed percentage that the rotor is allowed to reach before an overspeed condition
is annunciated. To determine the percent overspeed, simply divide the number of counts by 4 (1 CNT = 1/4 %).
Additionally, the control constant must match hardware jumper settings. The hardware jumpers are J16, J17, J18, J19, J20,
and J21 where J16 is the LSB. For hardware jumpers settings see Appendix A.

LP base_speed index specifies the LP shaft design speed. The LP shaft design speed is fixed and is independent of the
operating speed. Therefore, 100% operating speed may or may not correspond to 100% design speed. Additionally, there
are a finite number of speeds acceptable. The constant must be equivalent to the hardware jumper settings or a diagnostic
alarm is generated. The results are posted in the TNL_PC Mark V variable. Allowable constant settings and Hardware
Jumper positions are as follows:
Hardware Jumpers
Constant
J11
J10
J9
J8
Design Speed
NO TRIP
3600
4670 MS5002
4980
6500 MS3002
LP overspeed_index is the design speed percentage the rotor reachs before an overspeed condition is annunciated. To
determine the percent overspeed, simply divide the number of counts by 4 (1 CNT = 1/4 %). Additionally, the control
constant must match hardware jumper settings. The hardware jumpers are J22, J23, J24, J25, J26, and J27 where J22 is the
LSB. For example, to set an LP Overspeed index equal to 10%, the constant and hardware jumpers would be as follows:
Hardware Jumpers
Constant
J27
J26
J25
J24
J23
J22
Percent
40
10%
To determine the Hardware jumper settings convert the decimal constant into its binary equivalent, with J22 as the LSB.

HP input frequency for 100 percent rated speed - Enter the pulse frequency from the magnetic pickups for 100% rated
speed. For example, if 100% rated speed is 1800 RPM and the pickup wheel has 120 teeth, the correct value is:
1800 RPM x 120 pulses/revolution / 60 seconds/minute = 3600 pulses/second
HP input frequency for overspeed trip setting - Enter the pulse frequency for the emergency overspeed trip setpoint. For
the example above, if the emergency overspeed setting was to be 110% of rated speed, then the value should be set to 3600
times 110%, or 3960 pulses/second.

This application monitors AC current and AC and DC voltages that develop on the shaft. These develop due to static
electricity and to eddy currents that originate at the generator and travel through the shaft. These are monitored to avoid
pitting on the bearings caused by continuous arcing. These functions are typically used for Steam applications.
Full Scale Control Database Values are set to the maximum value associated with the input, usually 32 volts or amps.
Minimum and Maximum Control Database Values determine the input to the card, usually 0 to 16 volts or amps, and can
have a maximum value of 32768.

Shaft current monitor reports the AC rms current through the shunt.
The shaft voltage monitor reports the frequency at which the shaft voltage
exceeds fixed hardware limits.
An AC test will inject signals to the TCCA card circuits and produce 1000Hz
for the voltage monitor frequency and 12 to 20A for the current monitor.
A DC test will inject a DC current into the grounding brushes and the shunt.
The resultant voltages are used to calculate the resistance to ground for each.

C-1. INTRODUCTION
The Mark V control system's software is configured by using a "block" system. Blocks are simply standardized control
functions which are divided into the following categories:
Primitives
Generic Big Blocks
Application Specific Big Blocks
Primitives and generic big blocks are common to all applications and may be utilized for minor control modifications.
Application specific big blocks are specific to individual turbine product types, performing dedicated control and protection
functions.
This Appendix covers only primitives and generic big blocks, with a separate section for each category. The primitive blocks
represent relatively uncomplicated functions such as Add, Subtract, Compare AB, Shift, etc.; they are implemented as part
of a sequencing rung involving additional control operations. These blocks (once enabled) will energize a coil output when a
condition has been satisfied. These operations have universal applicability and may be used in any application. Generic Big
Blocks may be used in a similar fashion, but do not have the ability to accept sequencing on its (enable) input or to set a coil
output.
In using this Appendix, the words "tile" and "picture" are used in reference to the block illustrations. These terms refer to the
Control Sequence Editor displays and Control Sequence Program Printout respectively. (See Chapter five of this manual for
more information on the CSP Editor.)
To implement a block correctly, the programmer must be aware of both the functionality of the block and the type of
information that must be passed to it. Data received or sent by a block is called a " parameter. " Parameters fall into two
categories; those that can be assigned and those that are imbedded within the block and cannot be changed. Parameters that
can be assigned are referred to as "passed parameters" and are depicted in a block's Tile. Parameters that may not be changed
are referred as "automatics" and both are shown in the control sequence program printout. Blocks read from and write to the
control signal database according software signal names assigned to the block. In the case of passed parameters, the Control
Sequence Editor (CSE) can be used to make the assignments.
CAUTION
Software signal names are assigned data types. When implementing functions, an understanding of data
types and their compatibility is critical. Failure to apply data types correctly may cause incorrect values to be
passed to the control signal database. This may in turn, adversely affect turbine operation. (See Summary of
data types below.)

Application Manual
C-2. BIG BLOCK ELEMENTS

A BBL is a Big Block, or Big Block Language. This is an algorithm coded by GE Drive Systems and is on the PROMs
located on the Mark V controller and communicator processors. The Control Sequence Program, or CSP, for the control
system may be written to "call" any available BBL. The BBL is then executed making calculations for the control and
protection of the turbine unit. The processor interface to the Mark V has .PIC files which detail the BBLs functions
using ASCII text, where the BBL is drawn as a double-lined box. A block is a drawing of a calculation performed by the
CSP. It can refer to the entire BBL or to any of the simpler blocks used within the BBL, some of which are called primitives.
These .PIC files are used in the CSP printout as well as in the s Rung Display. This document lists the elements used in
the .PIC files in order to aid in the reading and understanding of the calculations the BBLs perform.
Each of the Mark V processors has Control Signal Databases, or CDBs. These CDBs contain all the control signals used by
the CSP, which are also viewable from the . Each signal has a value used in the control, protection, and monitoring of
the turbine unit. A signal has a name, with functional meaning, as well as a scale type that is used to display the signal's
value in engineering units.
The signals are either logics or variables. The logics have values of zero or one (false or true, respectively). Variables are
typically 16-bit numbers that are scaled by the to represent them in engineering units, such as F. Signals typically enter
the BBL from the left, indicating the BBL reads the signal's value. A signal that exits out the right indicates the signal's
value is written by the BBL. The path the value of the signal takes is indicated by the "wire" drawn under the signal name.
Sometimes descriptive text within the block replaces the drawing of a wire. This convention holds true most of the time, but
be aware that some BBLs are drawn where a signal value is read from the left, but is also over-written subject to internal
processing of the inputs.
C-2.1. Signal Names
An upper case signal name indicates that a signal is a control signal, and can be used elsewhere in the CSP as well as viewed
from the . If the control signal is inside the block, it is an automatic signal and the block has been coded to always use
that specific control signal's value. If it is outside the block, it is a parameter signal, passed to the block. A lower case signal
name within the block indicates that a signal is an internal signal, where it's name refers to the signal's function. An internal
signal cannot be viewed from the , nor used elsewhere in the CSP. It's value is either calculated as an intermediate signal
within the block, or it is passed a value from a parameter signal.
C-2.1.1. AUTOMATIC SIGNAL NAME. When a block is coded to always read and/or write a specific control signal, that
signal is an automatic signal and is shown using upper case letters in the signal's name. Automatics are shown inside the
BBL, where the symbols ">
" and "
<" show that the internal signal enters or exits the block from or to the
Control Signal Database, and is thus viewable by the . The left example shows a signal entering the BBL and the right
example shows a signal exiting the BBL.
TNH
>
CSRIH
<
C-2.1.2. PARAMETER SIGNAL. When a block is passed a value from a control signal name, the parameter signal is passed
to an internal signal. The upper case name refers to the control signal and is shown outside the block. The lower case name
inside the block is the internal signal and again refers to the function of the signal, possibly even the expected control signal's
name. The BBLs have numbers next to input and output parameter signals, indicating the order in which the sequencing
editor assigns the parameters. The first example (below, left) shows a control signal "LK3VIB1" entering the BBL from the
left, where it is referred to internally as "alm_lim". The second example (below, right) shows the internal signal
"vib_alm" exiting out the right side of the BBL as control signal "L30VIB_ALM1". Parameter signals enter and exit the
BBL from outside the BBL. This indicates this control signal may be changed in order to read or write a different control
signal.

vib_alm 6
L30VIB_ALM1
C-2.1.3. INTERMEDIATE SIGNAL. If a wire cannot be drawn to show where an intermediate signal goes within the block
(due to lack of space), the signal is given a lower case name. The " >" symbol is used to indicate "it goes somewhere
within this BBL", and the "> " symbol is used to indicate "it comes from somewhere within this BBL". The first
ctifxbx (below, far left) "goes somewhere", the second "comes from somewhere". Sometimes the left and right arrows
(> and <) are omitted. Sometimes the name is in uppercase, but this is typically done when the signal is not a control signal
and it never exits the block. In place of a name, a value can be displayed, such as 2, 100%, zero, or max.

C-2.1.4. SYSTEM SIGNALS. BBLs use internal signals not accessible with the . The "current control sequencing
segment time" is cur_seg_time. This signal tells the BBL how often it is executed. It then can adjust its use of timer
signals accordingly.
cur_seg_time
C-2.1.5. PREVIOUS SIGNAL VALUE. There are instances where it may be desirable to utilize the previous value of a signal
to calculate a new output value. This is represented by the symbol below, where the input is typically from the right side and
the previous value exiting from the left.

Z
C-2.2. Signal Wires, Contacts, and Coils

The conventions used in the BBLs to signify various connections (and crossovers) are demonstrated and explained in the
following sections..
C-2.2.1. WIRE JUNCTIONS. The first example (below, left) shows a horizontal wire and vertical wire not intersecting,
using a "(" to show that a wire goes over another wire. Horizontal and vertical wires do intersect when two wires touch, as
in the next example (below, center), meaning the signal on the one wire splits and goes into two or more directions. The last
example (below, right) uses both techniques. The "ribbon-cable" is the vertical wire. A signal on a horizontal wire goes
under the ribbon-cable and travels off by itself. The "/" indicates that the signal also travels onto the ribbon-cable to join
other signals. The ribbon-cable has multiple signals on it, which typically are logic signals headed for an OR block.

C-2.2.2. CONTACT. A contact is represented as a break in a signal wire. A logic signal is used to open or close the contact,
which enables or disables the signal to pass along it's wire. The name of the logic signal that can open and close the contact
is the name directly over the contact, or it is found by following the dots ("") and wires from the contact to the signal
name.
Normally Open Contact. A logic signal with a value of TRUE will close a normally open contact. The first symbol
(below, left) shows the logic signal's name placed directly above the coil. The second symbol shows the logic signal entering
from the top left and traveling right and down to the contact. The logic signal opens or closes the contact, and the signal
traveling along the wire interrupted by the contact will pass when the logic signal is TRUE.
.
L84TG
Normally Closed Contact. A logic signal with a value of TRUE will open a normally closed contact. The first symbol
(below, left) shows the logic signal's name placed directly above the coil. The next symbol (below, right) shows the signal
entering from the top left and traveling down to the contact. The logic signal opens or closes the contact, and the signal
traveling along the wire interrupted by the contact will pass when the logic signal is FALSE.

Contact Variation. One logic signal can be used to set multiple contacts.

.
..
C-2.2.3. COIL. If a coil is found at the end of a wire, the signal above the coil is set (written) with respect to the value of the
signal on the wire. For the first "store" coil represented (below, left), a TRUE value on the wire will store a TRUE value at
the coil's signal, and a FALSE will store a FALSE. For the second coil represented (below, right), the "store-inverse" coil, a
TRUE value on the wire will store a FALSE value at the coil's signal, and a FALSE will store a TRUE.

C-2.2.4. SIGNAL ARRAYS. An array is a group of similar signals, each with a possibly different value. Arrays are
indicated using a lower case "n" in the signal's name. The "n" can be replaced with a number, incrementing up from zero as
needed. Arrays are used to change functions, such as control curves, based on logic signals. Below, the array of L83JTn is
used to decide which signal to use out of the TTKn_I array. The L83JTn array includes L83JT0, L83JT1, L83JT2,
and so on; and the TTKn_I array includes TTK0_I, TTK1_I, TTK2_I, and so forth. If L83JT1 is TRUE and the rest
of the array is FALSE, then TTK1_I is used.
TTKn_I
L83JTn
C-2.2.5. MASK BITS. Mask signals are used to "mask" other signals. Each mask signal is a 16-bit word made up of two
bytes. The Most Significant Byte ("msbyte" or "MSB") is the left-most half, the Least Significant Byte ("lsbyte" or "LSB") is
the right-most. For example, if the value of the mask signal was 04ED hexidecimal, then 04 is the value of the msbyte
and ED is the value of the lsbyte. Each byte is then looked at in binary representation, such as 04 equals 0000 0100
and ED equals 1110 1101. The right-most bit is bit zero and the left-most bit is bit seven. The binary value is "laid out"
over the mask, and each of these bits opens or closes a contact, enabling or disabling the passing of a signal (see Contacts
section C-2.2.2).

C-2.3. Boolean Logic

The following sections define and illustrate Boolean Logic symbols used in the BBLs.
C-2.3.1. NOT. The NOT logic symbol illustrated below (left) shows its input being inverted (a TRUE ["1"] input becomes a
FALSE ["0"] and a FALSE input becomes TRUE). In the second example, the NOT symbol is represented by just the "o"
on the middle logic input of this AND logic symbol. The middle logic signal's value is inverted before entering the AND
symbol.
N o

C-2.3.2. OR If any logic input to an OR symbol is TRUE, the logic output is TRUE. The first symbol (below, left) shows
two inputs. The second symbol (below, right) shows multiple logic signals ribbon-cabled into the OR symbol (see Wire
Junctions section C-2.2.1 for more information concerning ribbon-cables).

C-2.4.2. COMPARE. In a Compare block, two input signals are compared. The logic output signal is TRUE if the specified
condition is met by the two inputs, otherwise the logic output signal is FALSE.
Two input signals are compared. Being equal (=), .

the condition is met so the logic output signal is true.

Two compare blocks combined with an OR block.

The logic output is set TRUE when either one of two
conditions are met, A is less than B or C is less than D,
otherwise it is set FALSE.
The input is compared to a number specified in the

block. If the condition is met, then the logic output is
set TRUE, otherwise it is set FALSE.

C-2.4.3. SET AND LATCH. If the logic input to a Set and Latch is TRUE, the logic output is TRUE, and is latched. This
means that if the logic input becomes FALSE, the logic output will be held TRUE until the logic reset input is TRUE. If the
logic input is still TRUE when the RESET is TRUE, the output logic will remain TRUE.
If the logic input is TRUE, the logic output is TRUE and
latched. This means that if the input becomes FALSE the
output will remain TRUE until the reset input is TRUE.

outputs.

C-2.4.4. CLAMP. An input signal to a Clamp is copied to the output signal. If the input should be too high or too low, the
Clamp will keep the output less than or equal to "max", or greater than or equal to "min". A special case of the Clamp block
is the Ramp and Clamp, where the output signal ramps to the input signal's value at the rate set by the "rate" variable,
subject to normal clamping operation.

C-2.4.5. SINGLE SHOT. When the logic input to a single shot (SS) transitions from FALSE to TRUE, the output is set
TRUE for one or more sequencing scan intervals, and then is automatically reset. The second example shows a compare
combined with a Single Shot to determine if the Single Shot should react; if the value of input A is greater than 15
seconds, the Single Shot operates.

C-2.4.6. TIME DELAY. A logic output from a Time Delay is TRUE only if the logic input has been TRUE for a time set by
the time delay input. The last example (below, right) shows an OR block with a time delay. The OR block has multiple
signals on the ribbon-cable, where the "n" is the number of signals.

The mathematics used to determine many of the functions is detailed in the following sections.
C-2.5.1. SUMMING JUNCTION. Input signals are added at the junction. If the sign is a "+", the positive value is added in, if
it is a "-", the negative value is added in (it is subtracted). The sign associated with each input to a summing junction is
located on the clockwise side of the input "wire."

very fast if the difference is great, slower as the difference decreases). The rate at which the output changes is set by the time
constant signal "T". The output is often double-word (32 bits), containing a Most Significant Word and a Least Significant
Word (the MSW contains the desired value, the LSW gives accuracy). Some ITC blocks also include a RESET, where a logic
input can be used to set the output equal to the input, bypassing the integrating operation. The relationship of input signals is

C-3. MARK V MATH

To provide the fastest and most efficient microprocessor operation, the Mark V performs calculations in binary twoscomplement math format. It is necessary to understand how these calculations are executed when making modifications to
the control system. This section consists of three parts: Binary Number Review, Mark V Scaling of variables, and
Application rules and notes. The binary math system the Mark V uses is standard throughout the computer industry and, as
such, is widely available at colleges and universities if additional information is necessary.
C-3.1. Binary Number Review
The Mark V represents analog values as signed 16-bit binary numbers in the following form:
Most Significant Byte
Least Significant Byte
Sign
Bit
14
13
12
11
10
"Weight" of bit, which is also the power of 2

Table C-1. Analog Value Representation
As shown in figure C-1, the most significant digit (the one furthest to the left) determines the sign of the binary number; zero
indicates a positive and one indicates a negative value. The digits represent powers of 2, increasing from 20 at the rightmost
digit up to 214 at the immediate right of the sign bit. Each digit, called a bit, can take on values of zero or one; if a bit is one,
it is referred to as "set" or "on."
The value of a positive binary number is simply the addition of the corresponding values of the set bits. These integer values
are dimensionless and are referred to as COUNTS. For example:
0000 0001 0010 0001 = 28 + 25 + 20 = 256 + 32 + 1 = 289 COUNTS
0100 0010 0001 1000 = 16,384 + 512 + 16 + 8 = 16,920 COUNTS
Therefore, the largest positive value that may be represented by a signed 16-bit integer will be a binary string of all one's,
with a zero sign bit.
0111 1111 1111 1111 = 16,384 + 8192 + 4096 + 2048 + 1024 + 512+ 256 + 128 + 64 + 32 + 16+ 8 + 4 + 2 + 1 =
32,767 COUNTS
Negative binary numbers are handled differently than positive. To see the binary representation of a negative number, it is
easiest to begin with its positive representation and negate it. To negate a positive binary number, invert all the bits and add
one to the result.

The largest negative number which can be represented by a 16-bit integer is,
1000 0000 0000 0000 = -32,768 COUNTS
Notice that if -32,768 is negated, it does not behave properly.

1000 0000 0000 0000 =
(-32,768)
(add -1)
(invert)
-32,768
The valid range for numbers in the Mark V is -32,767 to +32,767. Negating -32,768 does not give +32,768 but rather 32,768. For this reason, -32,768 is considered an illegal value in the Mark V. Attempting to set an analog setpoint signal to
-32,768 will result in a value of -32,767 for that signal. Similarly, attempting to set an analog setpoint to +32,768, will result
in a value of +32,767. However, if an attempt is made to set an analog setpoint to a value larger in magnitude than +/32,768, the value will be remain unchanged.
C-3.2. Scaling
Even though the Mark V may perform calculations with dimensionless integers, they represent physical values that may be
viewed on the . For this purpose, every point in the Control signal DataBase (CDB) has an associated scale type.
Information pertaining to scale types is found in ENGLISH.SCA, METRIC.SCA, CUSTOM.SCA, and HARDWARE.SCA
in the F:\UNITn directory. The currently selected scaling information can also be found in SCLEDATA.DAT. A sample
of the scaling file SCLEDATA.DAT is shown below.

The gain listed for each scale type is the maximum value that a point of that scale type will achieve, as seen on the . Both
the gain and offset determine how the integer value of the Mark V will be displayed on the . The conversion formula
between the Mark V and the are:
C-13
GEH-6195F
Application Manual
Information about the number of decimal places displayed is also found in the scaling data files. This will determine the
resolution of the display on the , whereas the gain determines the internal resolution in the Mark V. Consider the scale
type VIBVL, which has a gain of eight and displays two decimal places with the units inches per second (in./sec). The
internal resolution of the Mark V for the scale type VIBVL is:
1 Count
8 inches
0.00024 inches
*
=
32,768 Counts
second
second
Therefore, one integer Count in the Mark V is worth 0.00024 in./sec of physical vibration. By increasing the gain, the
maximum value of that scale type will be increased, but the Mark V resolution will decrease. The scale type VIBVL
displays 2 decimal places, corresponding to a minimum value of 0.01 in./sec. This determines the resolution of the 
display. Continuing the above example:
inches
sec * 32,768 Counts = 41 Counts
inches
8
sec
0.01
Thus, every time the Mark V value increases 41 Counts a 0.01 in./sec change will be seen for the corresponding signal at the
.
Whatever the scaling of a signal happens to be, it has no direct effect on how the Mark V performs calculations with that
signal. Consider how the Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature scales represent the point at which water freezes. Celsius
represents this temperature as 0 C and Fahrenheit as 32 F. Even though the values and units differ, these temperatures
both represent the same physical temperature. Therefore, the scaling information forC will be different from F, but this is
only to display a different value on the . However, scaling does indirectly affect how math primitives are implemented
in the Mark V.

C-3.3. Mark V Applications and Rules for Math Primitives

Math primitives can be split into two categories: ADDs and MULTIPLYs. The ADDs include the primitives ADD, SUB,
and CMP. The MULTIPLYs include the primitives MPY, DVD, and SHIFT. The SHIFT primitive is applicable to either
group but is lumped with the MULTIPLYs because of the required shift input.
C-3-3.1. Rules for ADDs
When adding sequencing, keep in mind that the Mark V is operating with dimensionless integer values. The value seen on
the is actually a converted Mark V Count value. For example, the Mark V views 1024 F (scale type TC) and 64%
(scale type PCT) exactly the same, as 16,384 Counts. This is one reason why scaling is important in Mark V math.
Rule #1
Rule # 2
Always ADD, SUBtract, or CoMPare identical scale types and scale the output the same way.
Verify there is no overflow. The input and output magnitudes cannot exceed the maximum value of the output
scale type.
To illustrate the importance of the first rule, consider a comparison (CMP) of two signals, both with units of "Hz," but scaled
differently.
SIGNAL
frequency_1
frequency_2
VALUE
27 Hz
24 Hz
SCALE TYPE
(FREQ)
(FRQLN)
Examining the scaling file SCLEDATA.DAT shows that the gain of FREQ is 8192 and FRQLN has a gain of 64. Before
comparing the signals, convert these values to Mark V values.
frequency_1 = (27 Hz/8192 Hz) * 32,768 Counts = 108 Counts
frequency_2 = (24 Hz/64 Hz) * 32,768 Counts = 12,288 Counts
Clearly, frequency_1 is greater than frequency_2, but the Mark V will not agree since 12,288 > 108.
The following example illustrates the importance of the second rule. In this example, two values are added (INPUT1 and
INPUT2), both as PCT scale types with units "%."
SIGNAL
INPUT 1
INPUT 2
VALUE
58 %
85 %
SCALE TYPE
PCT
PCT
Following Rule #1, the output must be scaled as a PCT scale type. PCT has a gain of 128, and performing this addition will
exceed the maximum value of the output scale type. The Mark V performs saturated math; that is, when the output
overflows, the Mark V recognizes this and sets the output to the maximum Count value of 32767. Adding these two signals
gives the erroneous answer of 128 %. If these signals are to be added, a new scale type will need to be defined with a larger
gain and these values shifted to the new scale type. This may not be accomplished by increasing the gain of the PCT scale
type to accommodate the larger values because existing scales are related to embedded functions within application BBLs,
do not change existing scales. New scale types may be added to accomodate special calculations, however, the resulting
signals may not be compatible with any existing functions. For example:

Application Manual
Define the new scale type PCTX with a gain of 256.0, an offset of 0.0 and units of "%" in the scaling (*.SCA) files and
SCLEDATA.DAT.
Define two new points, INPUT 1 and INPUT 2, into which the PCT scaled signals will be shifted.
Define a new signal, INPUT3X, as PCTX to receive the output.
Using the SHIFT primitive, perform a binary shift on the Mark V values.
4.1. Add a SHIFT primitive block, with INPUT1 as the input, INPUT1X as the output, and a +1 shift.
4.2. Add a SHIFT primitive block, with INPUT2 as the input, INPUT2X as the output, and a +1 shift.
The PCTX signals will now contain half the Counts as their PCT counterparts. With the gain doubled, however, no
difference will be seen in their values.
It is now possible to add INPUT1X and INPUT2X and get the correct answer (143%) for INPUT3X which is not
compatible with existing control functions.
C-3.3.2. Rules for MULTIPLYs
As stated earlier, scaling does not directly affect how the Mark V performs calculations. However it does affect the design of
sequencing. Scaling has a more profound effect on the MULTIPLY category of primitives, because scaling has a direct
influence on calculating the shift value. The three primary rules are:
Rule #1. Insure anticipated units are correct for the output signal scale type.
Rule #2. Insure the magnitudes of the inputs and corresponding output do not exceed the maximum value of the output scale
type.
Rule #3. Input a shift (required).
The first rule determines it is necessary that if a signal with units "F/sec" is multiplied by a signal with units "sec" the output
should be scaled to have units "F". It may be necessary to define a new scale type (with appropriate units) to handle the
output signal. It is important to "carry the units" through a calculation and make

sure that the assigned scale types have units to match.

The second rule is the same as Rule #2 for ADDs. MULTIPLY primitives can

cause the output signal to overflow.

MULTIPLY primitives also require a shift as an input. The correct shift is
essential to get the correct answer for the output signal. Calculating the shift is
simple, but B numbers need to be defined first.
Each scale type has an associated B number. The B number is determined by the
gain of that scale type. The gain of a scale type is:
B number
The B number of a scale type locates the radix (binary decimal point) of a signal
of that type, and allows for calculation of the shift. Notice that B numbers are
integers only for gains that are powers of 2. There are instances in which a scale
type will have a non-power of 2 gain, which would correspond to a non-integer
B number. This situation is very common for the scaling information in
METRIC.SCA. When using B numbers to calculate the shift, only integers
should be handled. Every scale type has an integer B number, even though it
may not be readily apparent from the scaling information. In the development of
the scale types, all of the scaling information was calculated using English units.
Once the gains were fixed in English units they were converted to Metric units,
resulting in gains that are not integer powers of 2.

There are cases in which the gain is not a power of 2 for Metric or English scaling. There are a couple of possible
explanations for this occurring. As was the case for conversion from English to Metric, some scales are converted from one
C-16
Application Manual
GEH-6195F
English type to another. For example, a scale type with units of "sec," with a gain of 16. This is clearly a scale depicting
time. Another scale depicting time could have units of "min." The scale with "min" as units may have been derived from the
scale with units of "sec" by dividing its gain by 60, and should be treated as a B4.
Another possibility is that the scale type has magnitude built into the units. A scale with units of Parts-Per-Million "PPM"
with a gain of 976.6 can be explained in such terms. Since the units "PPM" have "per million" built in, this corresponds to a
factor of 10 -6. The factor 2-10 is equal to 0.0009766. When this factor is multiplied by 106 the result is 976.6. The gain of
the scale with units "PPM" is 2-10 x 106 , and should have a B number equal to -10.
C-3.3.3. Shifts
Calculating the Shift

Calculation of the shift is simple, once the concept of B numbers is known. For a multiplication operation,
SHIFT = B [output] - B [input_a] - B [input_b]
For a division operation,
SHIFT = B [quotient] - B [dividend] + B [divisor]
Purpose for Shifts
The MPY and DVD primitives require a shift as an input. Additionally, the shift must have a scale type of CNT15 for
proper block execution.
To understand why shifts are necessary, it is necessary to understand how the Mark V performs multiplication. Consider a
simple decimal example of a MULTIPLY. Two three-digit decimal integers are to be multiplied. The maximum value that
may be stored in a three-digit decimal integer is 999. Therefore, the maximum value of the output is 999 * 999 = 998,001.
Therefore six digits must be reserved for the output signal. If this multiplication is constrained to a three-digit output, there
will be a problem with overflow when the inputs get too large.
Now consider a multiplication of two Mark V analog signals. For now, the scale types of the inputs will be ignored. The
Mark V represents analog signals with 16-bit binary strings. When the Mark V multiplies the two inputs, both are 16-bit
binary numbers (that is, the Counts representing the analog signals) will be multiplied to give the output signal, which is also
defined as being 16 bits. As with the decimal example, the Mark V output signal will overflow if precautionary measures are
not taken.
During the execution of a multiplication, the 16-bit binary numbers are multiplied and the result is stored in an intermediate
32-bit result. This eliminates the risk of overflow, since multiplying the 16-bit inputs will not exceed the 32-bit intermediate
result. However, the answer will need to be reduced to 16 bits from the intermediate 32-bit answer. This is accomplished
with the shift input. With the shift set to zero, the output signal will be set to the most significant 16 bits of the 32-bit
intermediate result. Conversly, with the shift set to 16, the most significant 16 bits will be lost resulting in the output signal
being the least significant 16 bits. Neither of these options will produce the desired result everytime, and the output "viewing
window" (the 16 bits to be stored and used) must be shifted to achieve the correct answer. See the following example for the
method of calculating the correct shift values.

Multiply Example
Consider the multiplication of two signals, ARG1 scaled as a PCT_S, and ARG2 scaled as an SEC16. The scaling
information for these two scale types is given below. Following rule 1, multiplying the units of the inputs gives "%":
therefore the output, OUT1, needs to be scaled as a PCT. (See the third row in the table below.)

* 32767 = 15,973 Counts
ARG2 =

* 32767 = 195 Counts
sec
The Mark V then multiplies these two integers together to get the 32 bit intermediate result: 15,973 * 195 = 3,114,735
Counts. This intermediate result is larger than 32767 Counts, illustrating the need for the intermediate 32-bit answer. To
calculate the shift for this example:
SHIFT = B [PCT] - B [PCT_S] - B [SEC16]
SHIFT =
7 - 4
- 11
= -8
To see the importance of choosing the correct shift, view this intermediate result as a binary number:
3,114,735 = 0000 0000 0010 1111 1000 0110 1110 1111
With the shift set to zero, the output signal will be the most significant 16 bits (shaded bits shown below):
0000 0000 0010 1111 1000 0110 1110 1111

This corresponds to a value of 47 Counts or 0.2 %, not the correct answer. The shift input will actually move the bits in Mark
V memory, but for the purpose of illustration this can be thought of as moving a "window" through which the output is
viewed. The shift will "move" the 16-bit output "window" and increase, or decrease, the significance of the set bits. The 16bit output window is "moved" left or right depending on the sign of the shift value. Beginning at the immediate right of the
sign bit, count over the same number of digits as the shift, right for negative and left for positive shifts. Here, the output
window is moved as follows:
0000 0000 0 010 1111 1000 0110 1 110 1111

which corresponds to a value of 24,333 Counts or 95.1%, which is the correct answer.
C-3.3.4. ERROR DETECTION The Mark V performs saturated math. Meaning, in the event of an overflow or error the
signal is set to the maximum Count value (32,767). After the shift is performed, two tests are performed.
C-18
Application Manual
GEH-6195F
First, the sign bit is tested for correctness. If the two inputs in the multiplication have like sign bits, a zero will be
expected for the output sign bit. On the other hand, if the inputs have different sign bits, the sign bit should be a
one. If this test fails, the Mark V saturates the signal.
Secondly, if any of the bits to the left of the "post-shift" sign bit are a one, there was an overflow and the signal is
saturated. This could be caused from the multiplication of inputs which are too large for the output scale type or
because of an incorrect shift.
Valid shifts range from +15 to -31, but any shift value is allowed. The value +15 is the limit for left shifts because if the shift
is +16 or greater, all significance of the answer will be lost. The same thing goes with right shifts, shifting -31 or more will
shift all meaningful information out of the output window. Shifts outside the valid range will result in some erronous value
being displayed.

Description
Execution of the Compare with Deadband block (COMPDB) is controlled by an Enable logical input, which is passed
through to the Coil output when the block is executed. The block implements an analog compare operation with a deadband
calculation after the compare limit has been exceeded. Starting with the logical output parameter l_output reset, the input
value is compared with the limit (input and limit values must be scaled identically). l_output remains reset while the input is
less than the limit. As soon as this input exceeds the limit, the l_output is set. l_output remains set until the value of the input
drops below the limit value times the deadband value. The deadband value is always between zero (0) and one (1) and should
always be expressed as a B0 number.

The TMX block performs an extended (longer range) time delay function. When a logic 1 is received, the block begins
executing. When the input signal transitions from zero (0) to one (1), elapsed time is tabulated in the extended counter;
periodically, the extended counter resets to zero (0) and a count of one will be added to the current counter. When the total in
the current counter equals the value of the final constant (these two values should be scaled identically), the Coil output is set
to one (1). A False input signal will reset the current and extended counters, and the Coil output to zero (0) immediately.

ALIP00
input

arg_tab

Description
The Analog Linear Interpolation block approximates a continuous relationship between the input and the output as a series of
connected linear segments. These segments are defined by the pairs of corresponding values in the argument table and the
function table. The argument table values are the values of the input where a new linear segment in the approximation
begins. The argument entries must be entered in a numerically increasing order. The function table values are the desired
output values at the points defined in the argument table. For input values located between argument table entries, standard
linear interpolation is performed between the corresponding function table entries to calculate the output value. If the input
value is outside of the range of the argument table, the output is clamped to either the first or last element of the function
table. As the number of argument table locations increases, the table size should increase correspondingly (Note: table_size
must be positive). As table size increases, resolution of the linear interpolation will increase and execution speed will
decrease. An illustration of this function is given in the following diagrams.

Description
The Average block calculates the rolling average of a sequence of input values. A list of previous values is stored in a value
array (valarray []). Once the average is calculated, the value is passed to the output. The first execution of the block
initializes the array to the very first input value. Subsequent analog values stored in this location are entered and exited on a
first in - first out basis. That is, new values entering the array successively displace the oldest value of the list. To accelerate
the computation of the array's rolling average, the oldest value is temporarily stored in oldest. This value is recalled and
utilized to calculate the new average. Subsequent calculations will use different oldest values as they are replaced with each
update of the array. The value assigned as the length (siz_exp2) must equal the array's actual number of storage cells to
generate accurate results from this operation.

Description
The Command State block selects one of eight mutually exclusive operational states and generates data reflecting the
selected state. The (0-7) command variable received from theprocessor must pass the conditions set by a 16 bit mask
before it is passed to the State output. The mask value is a control constant that contains the bit values of the mask. The
upper or most significant byte of the mask contains enabling data for a consecutive series of 8 preset states (0-7). If a 1 logic
input to a preset state is true, and the corresponding bit of the mask value is set, the command variable is changed to that
state. The command variable will be changed to the first preset state that meets these criteria. When the preset condition
evaluation is completed, the command variable is processed against the second part (least significant byte) of the mask
(Note: This comparison will occur whether the command variable value is changed or not). The LSB of the mask contains
enabling data for a consecutive series (0-7) of permissive states. If the command variable corresponds to a Permissive state
that has a logic true input and an LSB mask bit set, the variable is passed to the state output. This output regulates the 8 logic
state outputs of the block and sends status information to theprocessor. If the State output is set to 0, the first logic output
is set to 1 and the other outputs are reset: similarly, higher numbered states will set the associated output and reset the rest of
the array.

Description
The Double Analog Linear Interpolation block solves for an output as a function of two input variables (i.e., f(x, y)) by
performing a dual linear interpolation calculation based on the analog input variables x_input and y_input. The algorithm
interpolates linear segments along two axes (x, y) which are in turn defined by x and y table arrays (x[dimx], y[dimy] of size
dimx, dimy. [Note: size inputs must be positive; as well, table value inputs must be entered in ascending order). These
interpolation calculations locate and define a third value that is passed to the output (f_out). In this manner, the DALIP00
block approximates a continuous (three dimensional) relationship between the x_input and y_input inputs, and the output
reference. To perform the interpolation, the block requires at least four known points to be defined; these points are supplied
by the f[dimxy] array input. If the x_input and y_input signals exceed the range of the dimx and/or dimy arrays, the output
will be clamped to either the first or last value of f[dimxy]. The output reference will be clamped according to f_min or

The Double Analog Linear Interpolation block solves for an output as a function of two input variables (i.e., f(x, y)) by
performing a dual linear interpolation calculation based on the analog input variables x_input and y_input. The algorithm
interpolates linear segments along two axes (x, y) which are in turn defined by x and y table arrays (x[dimx], y[dimy] of size
dimx, dimy. [Note: size inputs must be positive; as well, table value inputs must be entered in ascending order). These

will be clamped to either the first or last value of f[dimxy]. The output reference will be clamped according to f_min or
f_max. inputs. Note: The only difference between this BBL and the DALIP00 BBL is the data type for dimx and dimy. In
addition, the example provided for the BBL DALIP00 also applies to this block as well.

Description
The Power Factor Calculation block executes a function that reads watts, and reactive volt-amperes (vars) calculated from
analog inputs and computes the power factor at the point connection. The DPF analog output of the block will remain at 1
until the watt input exceeds the DKPFMW (constant power factor - megawatt) input value. The sign of the output is
determined by the dvar input and designates the direction of reactive power flow. This value is positive for the generator
supplying vars to the system. Note: when the power factor calculation is negative (A<0), the DPFM (driven power factor
modified) output will pass the value in terms of positive numbers; this is accomplished by adding a positive value of two to
the power factor number.

Description
The Error Adjust block is controlled by an enable logical input; a logic 1 signal on this input will permit block execution.
The block executes a comparison between a reference value and a feedback value and generates raise and lower logic
signals. The value assigned to deadband determines how far the feedback value may deviate from the reference value before
a raise or lower signal is generated. When the difference between reference and feedback exceeds the deadband value an
output signal is produced. The error level constant defines when a high error signal will be generated. If the absolute
difference between reference and feedback exceeds the error level, a logic 1 is passed to the high error output (Note: The
value assigned to error level should be greater than the deadband value). For proper block operation, reference, feedback,
deadband, and error level values must be scaled identically.

Description
The LAG00 block executes a (discrete) filter function that approximates a first order lag. The value of the output approaches
the value of the input at a rate determined by the Time Constant (input and output data must be scaled identically). The
difference between the input and output values represents 100% of the change of the output. The time constant represents the
time needed to raise (or lower) the output 63% of the difference between the input and output. Therefore, it takes 5 time
constants to change the output approx. 100% of the difference (1 sec.= 63% of 100%, 2nd sec. = 63% of 37%, 3rd sec. =
63% of 13.7%, 4th sec. 63% of 5%, 5th sec. = 63% of 2%). (See example below.)
Damping characteristics of the block will improve for varying analog inputs (in) as the time constant value is increased. The
time constant value should be at least four times the sequencing scan interval.

LEADLAG00
in
out
t1_lead
t1_lag
last_in
last_out
Description
The LEADLAG00 block executes a (discrete) filter function that combines both Lead and Lag compensator characteristics.
The properties of the Lead compensator are typified by an output that, with an appropriate time constant (T1), is proportional
to the sum of the input signal (in) and its derivative (slope). As the derivative action tends to uncover that part of a signal
which is not constant (i.e., time varying.), the Lead compensator, with the appropriate time constant, tends to act similar to a
high pass filter (magnitude response) except low frequencies are passed with unity gain, while high frequency components of
the input signal are amplified. The resultant phase shift for this type of compensator is typically positivewhere the output
leads the input. The Lag portion of the algorithm acts as integrator, ramping the output toward the input at a rate defined by
the time constant, T2. Phase response for this compensator is typically characterized by a lagging phase shift, where the
output lags the input. The manner in which the LEADLAG filter compensates the input signal's phase and magnitude
response is contingent on the values supplied for the two time constants (T1, T2). Proper block operation requires a T1 value
that is two (minimum) to eight (maximum) times the T2 value; as such, the algorithm will function predominantly as a lead
compensator, passing lower frequency components of the input with variable gain, and higher frequency components with
amplification equal to the ratio T1/T2. In addition, the T2 constant should be assigned a value that is at least four (4) times
the sequencing scan interval.

Description
Execution of the Logic Setpoint Command block is controlled by the enable input; a logic one (1) signal on this input will
permit block execution. Using logic signals, the Logic Setpoint Command block ramps setpoint commands up and down.
The analog inputs max_lim and min_lim define the range of the command value output (these inputs and the command
output value must be scaled similarly). The analog rate input regulates how rapidly the command value is altered within that
range. The binary scaling of the rate input must correspond, in terms of maximum expressible values, to 1/8th the binary
scaling of the Command output. For example, a command output scaled at 256 (psi) will have a rate input scaled at 32
(psi/sec). Note: Rate-of-change values may be expressed in either units-per-second or units-per-minute. The raise and lower
logic inputs determine the positive or negative direction of change. The command output value will continue to increase or
decrease until a limit is reached or the raise/lower logic input reading 1 transitions to 0.

scaling of the rate input must correspond, in terms of maximum expressible values, to 1/8th the binary scaling of the
command output. For example, a command output scaled at 256 (psi) will have a rate input scaled at 32 (psi/sec). Note: Rateof-change values may be expressed in either units-per-second or units-per-minute. The raise and lower logic inputs determine
the positive or negative direction of change. The command output value will continue to increase or decrease until a limit is
reached or the raise/lower logic input reading 1 transitions to 0. If the lpreset input reads one (1), the block will not execute
the ramping function, but will pass the Preset value to the output.

is determined by the analog inputs rate1 and rate2. The block will alter the output value according to the analog rate1 input
until the 1_selr2 logic input reads true. At this point, the value is adjusted according to the rate2 schedule (Note: Scaling of
the rate1 and rate2 analog inputs, in terms of maximum expressible values, should be 1/8th the binary scaling of the
command input and the output -- for example, a command output of 256psi. will have a rate input of 32psi/sec.). When the
output reaches a value equal to the maximum or minimum range limits, the logic outputs l_max or l_min are set to 1
respectively. These outputs will remain set to zero (0) until a limit is reached. If the block receives a logic 1 l_preset signal,
the command input and the output are immediately adjusted to the v_preset analog value (subject to limits max_lim and
min_lim). For proper block operation, the max_lim, min_lim, command, and v_preset inputs, and the output must be scaled
identically.

begins by multiplying the analog Input value by a gain factor. The binary value of this multiplication is shifted according to
the analog value assigned as the shift constant. When the shift function has been executed, the scaled value is added to a
machine unit analog offset constant. This sum is then passed to the output.

The PI_REG00 block executes a function that increments the output (out) toward a reference (ref) at a rate determined by
proportional and integral calculations. Initially, the proportional action is performed by subtracting a feedback value from the
reference. The difference (error) is then multiplied by a gain (the -5 value indicates a binary shift). The block's integral action
is defined by the integral time constant (time_con); this value is expressed in seconds. (Note: the time constant value should
be at least four times the sequencing scan interval). The output of the integrator is added to the result of the proportional
calculation. This value is clamped according to the min and max inputs before being passed to the output (out).

Description
The Axial Position Monitor block checks the axial position of the turbine and generates alarm and trip logic outputs
according to four limit constants (active alarm, inactive alarm, active trip, inactive trip). The algorithm receives conditioned
analog signals from an I/O processor card mounted within the panel, which in turn acquires its data from a turbine mounted
proximeter (note that "conditioned" here implies that the I/O processor card converts analog values received from the
proximeter to the applicable engineering units, and adds an offset to those figures before they are passed to the block). This
last device reads sensor measurements of active and inactive turbine shaft movements. Analog shaft movement input values
that equal or exceed the active/inactive limit constants supplied to the block will cause a corresponding alarm or trip logic
signal to be generated. A probe fault detection by the I/O processor card will result in a logic 1 being sent to the fault input,
thereby disabling of the block's trip output. Should this occur however, the alarm output will remain enabled. All inputs
should be scaled identically for proper block operation.

Description
The XCMPH00 block executes a function that writes a logic signal output when input A (in1) exceeds input B (in2). When
this occurs, the hysteresis is enabled and the hys value is subtracted from the in2 input. This operation effetively lowers the
setpoint value the input must drop below before the output will reset to zero (0).

Description
The Dual Input Check block (XIOXCK00) executes a function that compares a pair of analog (typically thermocouple)
inputs against each other and high (high_lim) and low (Low_Lim) analog limit constants. The spread limit (spd_lim) analog
constant determines the amount of variance that can occur between the input_1 and input_2 values before a logic 1 is passed
to the hi_sprd output (typically this value will be less than high_lim and low_lim inputs). If the inputs are within the spread
limit and do not exceed either high or low limits, the block will pass the average of the input values as the output. When the
input values exceed the spd_lim but remain within the high and low limits, the higher of the two values is passed to the
output: should a single input value exceed a limit, the concurring value is passed. A condition where both inputs exceed the
limit values will cause an logic 1 invalid output to be passed. If an input value exceeds any of the limits expressed above, an
alarm output signal is generated.
All input values must be scaled identically for proper block operation.

Description
The Motor Operated Valve block (XMOV01) executes a function that controls valve position by issuing valve motor
commands (openvlv, closevlv). These instructions are passed according to one of two possible modes (manual, auto). If the
manual mode is selected, the block reads its manual input commands (manual open, manual close, manual intermediate) and
the position of the valve (valve open, valve closed, valve in intermediate) -- if the two readings do not correspond, the motor
is instructed to move the valve to the desired location. An auto mode selection will see the block read a new set of inputs
(auto open, auto close, auto intermediate) before the current valve position is read; instructions passed to the block are
thereby determined by automated sequencing. In either mode, movement of the valve is controlled by the poweron and either
closevlv or openvlv logic outputs (only one of the closevlv/openvlv logic signals will read true at a time). To specify the
valve's position or motion, the block passes enumerated state values that correspond to the following Motor Operated Valve
states (movstate): mov state unknown, mov trouble (alarm will be generated), closed, open, in intermediate, closing, opening,
closing toward intermediate, opening toward intermediate, backtracking toward intermediate. The movstate will read "mov
trouble" and the block will generate and alarm (alarm) when the valve's travel time (memtim) exceeds the interval specified
by the ktotal time constant. To compensate for motor inertia and resultant valve drift that occurs when a valve is moved to an
intermediate position, the block executes a backtrack function. This operation causes the valve to move in a direction
opposite to the original open/close command for a period of time specified by the kbacktrk constant. This action is denoted
by the movstate "backtracking towards intermediate." During initialization, the block will have no input to reference the
valve's position; under this circumstance, the movstate will read "mov state unknown." This block is generally used for steam
turbine valve control.

Description
The Motor Operated Valve block (XMOV02) executes a function that controls valve position by issuing valve motor
commands (openvlv, closevlv). These instructions are passed according to one of two possible modes (manual, auto). If the
manual mode is selected, the block reads its manual input commands (manual open, manual close, manual intermediate) and
the position of the valve (valve open, valve closed, valve in intermediate) -- if the two readings do not correspond, the motor
is instructed to move the valve to the desired location. An auto mode selection will see the block read a new set of inputs
(auto open, auto close, auto intermediate) before the current valve position is read; instructions passed to the block are
thereby determined by automated sequencing. In either mode, movement of the valve is controlled by the poweron and either
closevlv or openvlv logic outputs (only one of the closevlv/openvlv logic signals will read true (1) at a time). As the location
of the valve (vlvposit) is referenced according to an analog feedback signal (0% = closed, 100% = OPEN), a hysteresis
function is supplied to prevent valve control dithering. The hysteresis constant (khyster) specifies the distance the valve may
deviate above or below required setpoints before corrective action is taken (khyster values are expressed in %). It should be
noted that the relationship between % values and valve stroke can be manipulated using the I/O Configurator. In other words,
valve position (0% - 100%) can be configured to correspond to any valve travel range (eg. 0% - 10%). The algorithm
augments percent (%) valve position data by passing enumerated state values that correspond to the following motor
operated valve states (movstate): mov state unknown, mov trouble (alarm will be generated), closed, open, in intermediate,
closing, opening, closing toward intermediate, opening toward intermediate, backtracking toward intermediate. The movstate
will read "mov trouble" and the block will generate and alarm (alarm) when the valve's travel time (memtim) exceeds the
interval specified by the ktotal time constant. To compensate for motor inertia and resultant valve drift that occurs when a
valve is moved to an intermediate position, the block executes a backtrack function (the intermediate position is defined by
the intermediate position reference (intrref) constant (this value is also expressed in %). This operation causes the valve to
move in a direction opposite to the original open/close command for a period of time specified by the kbacktrk constant
(again, the hysteresis function is implemented to avoid dithering). This action is denoted by the movstate "backtracking
towards intermediate." During initialization, the block will have no input to reference the valve's position. Under this
circumstance, the movstate will read "mov state unknown." This block is generally used for steam turbine valve control.

Description
The Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) control block (XPID01) executes a function that reads analog feedback
information (meas_in), and according to the mode selected (manual, auto), produces an output that controls the process being
monitored. When the man_sel logic input reads one, the block transitions to a manual procedure that causes the manual
setpoint (man_sp) value to be passed directly to the output (this value is passed regardless of the min_out and max_out limits
stipulated in the limit array (lim_array). If the man_sel reads 0, the block will perform a PID operation that sets the output
according to a summation of Proportional, Integral, and Derivative compensations, and a bias value. Unlike the manual select
mode, the auto mode output is clamped between the min_out and max_out limits stored in the limit array (lim_array).
The Proportional action of the block is defined by the gain (prop_gain). This action is equal to error (measured value
meas_in - setpoint) * Prop_Gain. A logic FALSE rev_acting input will cause an increasing output for a positive or negative
Error; a logic TRUE Rev_Acting input will cause a decreasing output for a positive or negative Error.
The amount of integral action is defined by the integral time constant (int_tc). This value and the derivative time constant are
both expressed in seconds; the value of each time constant should be at least four (4) times the sequencing scan interval at
which the block is executed. The integrator is clamped so as to remain within the limits min_out and max_out -- it will not
wind up (continue to max. value) when the output is saturated. If the output is saturated high or low, the integrator will not
increase or decrease respectively. When a saturation occurs, an inverse value (+ -) increment is added to the integrator. When
the output is saturated low, the integrator will not decrease; an increment will be added to the integrator only if it is negative.
If the integral time constant is set to 0 the integrator will also be 0 and the integral action will be disabled.
C-120
Application Manual
GEH-6195F
The value of the integrator is saved for use in the next sample. If the block is in manual mode, and the Int_TC is not set to 0,
the integrator will be modified to cause the automatic control to track manual_sp (i.e. I = manual_sp - (P+D+B). The
automatic control will track manual_sp only to the limits min_out and max_out. Under these conditions, transfer from
manual to automatic mode is bumpless if manual_sp remains within the automatic mode limits.
The amount of Derivative action is defined by the derivative time constant (deriv_tc) and is expressed in seconds. It has been
designed to operate on the meas_Input (measured value) rather then the error so that there will not be a spike in the output if
there is a step function in the setpoint. The previous three meas_input values are stored in the 3 element array prev_input.
The block takes the derivative of the proportional section using techniques that minimize noise. If deriv_tc is set to 0 the
derivative action is also zero (0). The storage of the previous meas_Input continues so that a valid change in measured value
will be obtained immediately if deriv_tc is changed from 0 to non-0. The bias is added directly to the proportional + integral
+ derivative actions before the output clipping takes place. The units of bias are the same units of the output. The scaling of
the inputs setpoint and meas_input should be in percent.
PID loop transfer function uses the following equation:
Output(s) = (-Setpoint + Meas_ in)(s) * [Prp_ Gain (1 +
1
+ Deriv_ TC(s))]
Int_ TC(s)
Where (s) is the LaPlace transform function. Further information can be obtained from the factory, if necessary.

Description
When the change reference input (chg_ref) reads false, the Proportional Plus Lag (Ver 00) block implements a function that
adjusts the analog output to reflect the analog reference value according to the proportional action over a period of time
specified by the lag constant. The block begins by reading the analog feedback value and subtracting it from analog reference
constant; this operation generates an error value (Note: The scale of the reference input may have to be changed (ref_scle) as
feedback and reference values may at times be dissimilar). The error is multiplied by the gain constant to define the block's
proportional action. The proportional gain is scaled as a B7 number.
For system tuning purposes, the XPLAG block multiplies the gain by the time (lag) constant. This functionality allows the
gain to be adjusted without changing the crossover frequency (gain = 1). Note 1: An extremely high gain value will in effect
cause the block to simply execute an integral function. Note 2: A logic 1 reset input will disable the time Lag function of the
block. The positive or negative control action of the block is defined by the reverse action (rev_act) input. A logic TRUE on
this input causes the sign of the output to reflect the sign of the error value while a FALSE reading will produce a signed
output that is the inverse of the error value. When the logic input change reference (chg_ref) is TRUE, the reference value is
updated based on the requested output value (out_req), and the output will equal the requested output value (out_req). Note:
If the output reaches a value equal to either the max_lim or min_lim constants, it is clamped to that respective value.

Description
When the change reference input (chg_ref) reads false, the Proportional Plus Lag (Ver 01) block implements a function that
adjusts the analog output to reflect the analog reference value according to the proportional action over a period of time
specified by the lag constant. The block begins by reading the analog feedback value and subtracting it from analog reference
constant; this operation generates an error value (Note: The scale of the reference input may have to be changed (ref_scle) as
feedback and reference values may at times be dissimilar). The error is multiplied by the gain constant to define the block's
proportional action. The proportional gain is scaled as a B7 number.
For system tuning purposes, the XPLAG block multiplies the gain by the time (lag) constant. This functionality allows the
gain to be adjusted without changing the crossover frequency (gain = 1). Note 1: An extremely high gain value will in effect
cause the block to simply execute an integral function. Note 2: A logic 1 reset input will void the time Lag function of the
block. The positive or negative control action of the block is defined by the reverse action (rev_act) input. A logic TRUE on
this input causes the sign of the output to reflect the sign of the error value while a FALSE reading will produce a signed
output that is the inverse of the error value. When the logic input change reference (chg_ref) is TRUE, the reference value is
updated based on the requested output value (out_req), and the output will equal the requested output value (out_req). Note:
If the output reaches a value equal to either the max_lim or min_lim constants, it is clamped to that respective value; the
atmax or atmin logic outputs will signal the clamping status.

prb_fail
delay[3]

Description
The Vibration Monitor block reads analog vibration (vib_in) and logical probe failure (prb_fail) inputs. The vibration input
value is compared to the alarm limit (alm_lim) and trip limit (trip_lim) analog constants to determine whether they equal or
exceed them. When the vibration input value equals or exceeds either of these constants for a period of time specified by a
respective delay[3] constant value (alarm, trip), a logic 1 is passed to a corresponding (vib_alm, vib_trip) output. The alarm
and trip time constants are saved in the temp[2] temporary storage location. These values are replaced by the probe delay
constant if the block receives a logic 1 on the probe fail (prb_fail) input. This replacement will continue until the prb_fail
input transitions back to 0. If the vib_in value is still above either the alarm or trip limits when the transition occurs, the
corresponding counter in memory will begin counting down from the probe delay value. The probe delay constant is
normally larger than the alarm or trip delay values and should allow time for the vib_in signal to return to a nominal level. If
the vib_in remains equal to or above an alarm or trip limit after the probe delay time period has run down, the corresponding
delay constant is reinstated in memory and begins to be counted down. If that time allotment runs out, a logic 1 is passed to
the corresponding output. vib_in, alm_lim, and trip_lim inputs must all be scaled similarly.

The XVLV00 Servo Valve Output block executes a function that passes analog valve control information. If the enable input
reads 0, the block will direct the valve to maintain a -25% bias. When this input reads one (1) the input reference data is
passed directly to the output. A logic 0 enable input will also permit the block to execute a manual output for calibration, if
required. Once enabled, the block will output the value GSADJ for calibration, when it receives jadj and calibration inputs
that match (A=B). Respectively, these values represent system variables and calibration points that correspond to specific
valves. When a match occurs, the gsadj valve adjust input value is passed directly to the output.

IF THE OUTPUT OF THE

TRANSDUCER IS ISOLATED
(i.e., NOT REFERENCED TO GROUND),
THE BJC JUMPER SHOULD BE IN
TO REDUCE COMMON MODE VOLTAGE.
NOTE 3:
IF THE OUTPUT OF THE

TRANSDUCER IS GROUNDED,
THE BJC JUMPER SHOULD
NOT BE IN. IF THE JUMPER
WAS IN, IT WOULD CAUSE
A GROUND LOOP.
NOTE 2:
NOTE 1:
IF THE MARKV PROVIDES
POWER TOTHE DEVICE,
THE BJC JUMPER MUST
BE IN TO PROVIDE A
REFERENCE TO DCOM.

APPENDIX E
POWER DISTRIBUTION CORE DIAGRAMS
E-1. INTRODUCTION AND APPLICATION NOTES
The following pages are diagrams of the Power Distribution Core <PD>. For simplification, not every component is shown.
Since the AC supply voltage can be either 120 or 240 volts, the transformer and rectifier assembly must change.
The JZ4 and JZ5 plugs are the auxiliary AC source connection point for applications that require an isolated input for an
uninterruptable power source connection(s) and/or switched back up power source. The 'HOT' side can be isolated with
external circuitry connected to these plugs, but the neutral cannot.
CAUTION
Care must be used when connecting auxiliary AC sources into the JZ4 and JZ5 plugs. The neutral of the
auxiliary AC input (JZ4 and JZ5 plugs) is connected to the neutral of the critical AC input (TB1, points 7, 8,
11, and 12).
The 27 boxes (for ANSI standard designation number) are undervoltage devices that will send a logic signal to the <C> core
if the input voltage, either AC or DC, is no longer present. These signals can be incorporated into sequencing to be used as
alarms. The AC undervoltage boxes incorporate a LED to give a visual indication of fuse status; in the DC circuits, the LED
is still provided, but in a seperate circuit.
Example of the undervoltage detectors as shown on the figures of this appendix.
27
DIAGNOSTIC
If the green LED is off or the red LED is on, the fuse is open.
Switches are provided on newer revisions of the <PD> core. These should be used when it is necessary to remove power
from only one core or card at a time.
