HMI OverviewThe CIMPLICITY HMI is aproduct of GE FanucAutomation.

HMI functions (listed in Appendix A) are provided by the Turbine Control Interface(TCI), CIMPLICITY Bridge (TCIMB), and GE Turbine Control Systems SolutionsCD. Additionally, the HMI supports many functions of the CIMPLICITY HMI, forgraphical interface and some support functions (see Appendix A).

The HMI can be configured to operate with a variety of system devices, integratingplant operation at a single level. Plant operators and engineers can view and controlplant equipment through a common interface.

The toolbox is GE�s Windows-based software package usedfor controller configuration anddiagnostics.

Note The GE Turbine Control Systems Solutions CD contains the Turbine ControlSystem Toolbox (toolbox), Data Historian, and Trend Recorder programs. Mark VIturbine controllers use the toolbox as a configuration and diagnostic interface.

An operator can use the HMI for the following turbine control functions:

• Monitor one or more turbines through graphical displays (for example, alarms,wheelspace temperatures, and vibration feedback)

• Issue commands to the selected turbine or driven device (for example, Start,Stop, Cooldown On, Auto, and Raise Speed/Load)

Product FeaturesThe HMI contains a number of product features important for power plant control:

• Dynamic graphics

• Alarm displays

• Process variable trending

• Point control panel display (for maintenance)

• HMI access security

Page 15: Speedtronic HMI I

GEH-6126A Volume I Operator�s Guide Chapter 1 Overview •••• 1-3

HMI ComponentsThe turbine control HMI consists of the following functional components (refer toFigure 1-1):

GFK-1180 provides a detaileddescription of the CIMPLICITYproduct�s capabilities.

• CIMPLICITY HMI is used primarily to display turbine status screens, whichenable an operator to monitor the unit(s). Refresh rate is typically 1 second.CIMPLICITY cannot configure the turbine control.

� HMI Server is the hub of the system, channeling data between the Unit DataHighway and the Plant Data Highway (Mark VI only), and providing datasupport and system management. The server also provides devicecommunication for both internal and external data interchanges.

� HMI Viewer provides the visual functions, and is the client of the server. Itcontains the operator interface software, which allows the operator ormaintenance personnel to view screen graphics, data values, alarms, andtrends, as well as to issue commands, edit control coefficient values, andobtain system logs and reports.

• Turbine Control Interface (TCI) is used to display higher speed data (fasterthan 1-second updates), and to configure and control a turbine unit. TCI allowsremote access to turbine data and controls the following data functions:

� Provides real-time device communications to the turbine control (Mark IVand V)

� Provides turbine control configuration capabilities (Mark IV and V)

� Collects data, alarms and forwards commands to the turbine control (MarkVI)

� Maintains a data dictionary (Mark IV and V)

• TCIMB (TCI/CIMPLICITY Bridge, previously called CIMB or CIMBridge) isan interface between the CIMPICITY and TCI, as follows:

� Enables CIMPLICITY to collect data and alarms from a turbine unit

� Forwards points (Mark IV, V, V LM) and alarms (all) to CIMPLICITY

• System database (Mark VI only) establishes signal management and definitionfor the control system. It provides a single repository for system alarm messagesand definitions, and defines mapping between controller software and physicalI/O. Additionally, it defines Ethernet Global Data (EGD) exchanges. Thedatabase is used for system configuration, but not required for running thesystem.

Depending on the size of the system, these elements can be combined into a singlepc, or distributed in multiple units. The modular nature of the HMI allows units to beexpanded incrementally as system needs change.

Graphic DisplaysThe HMI uses the graphics and alarm features of the CIMPLICITY software tointegrate controls from a variety of applications. The graphical displays offerrealistic viewing in a real-time environment.

Screens are developed usingpreconfigured graphic buildingblocks that providecommonality to different plantapplications that use the HMI.

The HMI displays data and processes operator commands using screens thatrepresent a variety of signals, their values, and units. Display items change colorbased on logic signals, while certain objects are dynamic and refresh with every dataupdate, like bar graphs. High-speed viewing allows the displayed data to be updatedonce per second, and special tools allow collection and storage of data at rates as fastas 10 ms.

HMI graphic displays include main unit, vibration, sensor readings, control setpoints,alarms, permissives, logic forcing, demand display, sequence editor, dynamic rungdisplay, trip history display, trending, and many others depending on the application.An operator can view alarms from any HMI on the network as they occur and tofreeze the scrolling as needed to address an alarm condition. The alarm managementfeature provides options for response.

Figure 1-2 illustrates a typical Viewer screen using graphics to display real-timeturbine data.

The associated printer(s) enables the operator to manually select and copy anydisplay, to automatically log selected parameters, and to log alarms.

Figure 1-2. Sample HMI Display Showing Steam Turbine and Generator Data

The graphic system performs key HMI functions and provides the operator with real-time process visualization and control using the following:

GFK-139 provides a detaileddescription of the CimEdit andCimView applications.

• CimEdit is an object-oriented program that creates and maintains the usergraphic screen displays. Editing and animation tools, with the familiar Windowsenvironment, provide an intuitive, easy to use interface. Features include:

� Standard shape library

� Object Linking and Embedding (OLE)

� Movement and rotation animation

� Filled object capabilities, and interior and border animation

• CimView is the HMI run-time portion, displaying the process information ingraphical formats (as shown in Figure 1-2). In CimView, the operator can viewthe system screens, and screens from other applications, using OLE automation,run scripts, and get descriptions of object actions. Screens have a 1-secondrefresh rate, and a typical graphical display takes one second to repaint. HMIopens in CimView.

• Alarm Viewer provides alarm management functions such as sorting andfiltering by priority, by unit, by time, or by source device. Also supported areconfigurable alarm field displays, and embedding dynamically updated objectsinto CimView screens.

• Trending, based on Active X technology, gives users data analysis capabilities.Trending uses data collected by the HMI or data from other third-party softwarepackages or interfaces. Data comparisons between current and past variable datacan be made for identification of process problems. Trending includes multipletrending charts per graphic screen with unlimited pens per chart, and the operatorcan resize or move trend windows to convenient locations on the display.

• The point control panel provides a listing of points in the system with real-timevalues and alarm status. Operators can view and change local and remote setpoints by direct numeric entry.

• The basic control engine allows users to define control actions in response tosystem events. A single event can invoke multiple actions, or one action can beinvoked by many events. The program editor uses a Visual Basic forApplications compliant programming language.

CommunicationsRefer to GEH-6126 Vol. IIand individual controllerdocuments for more detailabout the networks andprotocol used for HMIcommunication.

GEH-6126A Volume I Operator�s Guide Chapter 1 Overview •••• 1-7

For Ethernet TCP/IP communication to third party equipment, such as a distributedcontrol system (DCS ), the HMI provides GE Industrial Systems standard messages(GSM) and Modbus® protocol. GSM application layer protocols support four classesof application-level messages: administration, event-driven, periodic data, andcommon request messages.

Alternatively, communication to remote DCS equipment is available through aModbus interface, where the HMI acts as a slave to the DCS master. Such a systemallows an operator at a remote location to initiate any operator command and tomonitor turbine data.

Optional FeaturesDocument GEH-6422 providesinformation about theHistorian.

The HMI supports a Windows NT®-based Historian computer, which collects andstores data from the control units for later analysis. OSI�s PI-ProcessBook® provideshistorical and real-time trending of all process data, and can run in the Historianand/or HMI Viewer. The HMI communicates with the Historian through theEthernet-based Plant Data Highway (PDH) and through RS-232C lines.

The HMI includes a time synchronization capability in both low- and high-resolution forms. When redundant time masters are available, all turbine controllersand operator interface units on a system automatically select the same, highestquality time master.

A Web Gateway allows operators to access HMI data from anywhere in the worldover the Internet. Third party interfaces allow the HMI to exchange data with theDCS, programmable logic controllers, I/O devices, and other computers.

Application-Specific FeaturesWhen the HMI is paired with either the Mark V or the Mark VI turbinecontrollers, the turbine control software tools can be added to as an integral part ofthe HMI. The Mark VI features are based on the GE Control System Toolbox(toolbox).

When the HMI is used in our Integrated Control Systems (ICS) product line or as aBalance-of-Plant (BOP) control interface, the ICS/BOP toolset becomes part of theHMI.

Technical SpecificationsExact hardware and software specifications for the HMI are determined according tothe customer�s needs and purchased options. The HMI workstation is typically sentto the customer with the HMI program already installed.

Dynamic Rung DisplayMark VI uses the toolbox forthis function.

The Dynamic Rung Display program is used for viewing the control programming ofa Mark V controller. It displays the control rungs and blocks in a control sequencesegment for a given unit. The program features the following:

• Animation to show the current state of the control

• Rung Ladder Display (RLD) rungs displayed with green representing continuityin contacts and the energized state in a coil

• Primitive and Big Block rungs sometimes displayed with their associated picturefiles showing either signal names or actual point values

• A Demand Display (see Chapter 4) with all of the signal names and values from arung

• A Find utility to display the locations and usage of all occurrences of a signal inthe unit�s Control Sequence Program (CSP).

The following rules apply to the Dynamic Rung Display:

• TCI must be running

• More than one control segment from a given unit can be open at a time

• Can display only segments from a single unit at any time

• Cannot be used to alter the unit�s CSP

File StructureTable 3-1. Dynamic Rung Display File Description

File Name Description

MSTR_SEQ.CFG Lists the sequencing source files (*.SRC) used in thecontrol

*.SRC The source files for the individual control sequencesegments

\PROM\BIGBLOCK.DEF The block definition file for the unit

\PROM\PRIMITIVE.DEF The primitive definition file for the unit

\PROM\*.PIC The picture files for the big blocks and primitives

\PROM\*.SPC Sequencing BBL source files

The files are used by the Dynamic Rung Display to coordinate and accurately displaythe unit control data. These files are also used for unit control configuration andcannot be altered by the Dynamic Rung Display. It is imperative that theconfiguration and sequencing files in the unit control and in the operator interfacematch. The Dynamic Rung Display does not independently verify that the operatorinterface files match the unit control files. If these files do not match, the DynamicRung Display may display data that does not reflect the state of the unit control.

Page 31: Speedtronic HMI I

GEH-6126A Volume I Operator�s Guide Chapter 3 Display-Only Programs •••• 3-3

The Dynamic Rung Display can save picture file displays in a text format for futurereference. These text files may be opened by any text editor or word processor. Italso creates temporary Demand Display files (*.DM2) in the system temporarydirectory when the Demand Display is used to show the points and values from agiven rung. These files are automatically deleted when the Demand Display closes.

Dynamic Rung Display WindowsThe Dynamic Rung Display is a multiple document interface that allows you to openwindows with different segments or the same segment. The user may also havepicture file windows and sub rung windows open. The windows are sized to displaya full view of a rung. However, the window may be resized and repositioned.

There are three major types of windows: rung, picture, and main frame, describedbelow.

Rung WindowsRung windows (see Figure 3-1) are used to display the animation of the controlsequencing and navigate through the control sequencing segments. They can displaydata from main sequencing rungs or sub rungs that are predefined into Big Blocks.

Figure 3-1. Example of a Dynamic Rung Display Window

Title bar displays unit name andsegment name

Header, which displays thefollowing data:• Unit, site, program, and

segment name• Rung number• Timetag

The Header can scroll off thescreen or be hidden by otherwindows. However, it is goodpractice to keep it visible becauseit contains valuable processinformation.

Page 32: Speedtronic HMI I

3-4 •••• Chapter 3 Display-Only Programs HMI for SPEEDTRONIC Turbine Control GEH-6126A Volume I

Dynamic Rung Display windows can contain the following types of data:

• RLD rung

• Primitive rungs

• Big blocks

• Comment rungs

Header data is located in theupper left of the window.

The type of information in the header timetag depends on the type of display:

• In both the RLD and primitive rung displays, the timetag provides the oldestpiece of data being displayed in the RLD portions of the rung. If it has notreceived data from the unit, the timetag display is No Valid Data. If the oldestpiece of data in the rung has not been updated for at least five seconds, thetimetag is highlighted. Rung animation occurs once per second (see Table 3-2).

• In both the big block and comment rung displays, the timetag indicates theoperator interface time when the rung was displayed. It does not update.

Note RLD Rung displays update automatically, and thus are animated in the rungwindow. Parameter information passed in Primitive Block and Big Block rungs isnot animated in the rung window, although you can update the display manually.Comment Rungs do not update.

Trip HistoryMark VI uses the ControlSystem Toolbox for thisfunction.

The Trip History program provides a chronological record (log) of relevant datagathered by the Mark V or V LM unit control. The data is organized according topost-trip, pre-trip, and alarm categories. The program is used to help evaluate turbinetrip events.

You can use this program to retrieve data from the unit control and view it on theoperator interface (see Trip History Dialog Box below).

Control Signal Database Points (CSDBs) can be defined for collection. Thesedefinitions (64 max.) are made in a single file (HIST_B.SRC). All data in the displayis chronologically indexed according to Mark V controller time and a separatecontroller counter (HIS_AGE).

Trip History FileTrip History stores the results of the data retrieval in a read-only temporary text file.This file is displayed using Microsoft Notepad (see Data History Results Window).

The Trip History file contains the points for collection and retrieval by the TripHistory program. This file for the unit is HIST_B.SRC, located in the unitconfiguration directory. Information logged in the alarm section of the display is notuser-definable. You can use any text editor to modify the file.

SOEs are sequence of events. For pre-trip and post-trip screens, timetag (TIME) definitions are listed for thedisplayed Control Data Point information. These designations provide achronological index that ties the exhibited signal information to the unit control time.This register can provide valuable information for determining the SOEs that lead toa turbine trip.

If the controller time is reset during an event, this index is lost. To prevent this, theTrip Log Display includes a second counter (HIS_AGE) that is internal to the unitcontrol, but runs independently of the controller clock. This counter updates once-per-second. It advances until a maximum value is reached, at which point the counterreturns to zero and restarts.

Figure 3-3 provides a sample HIST_B.SRC file in which the counter increments onlywhen the turbine is in a run condition. HIS_AGE must always be the first point in theHIST_B.SRC file.

Note After modifying the Trip History file, you should process and downloaded it.

Demand DisplayThis program is used on MarkIV, V, and V LM controllers.For Mark VI, refer to the Con-trol System Toolbox documen-tation,

Demand Display is a Microsoft® Windows®-based program that offers flexiblemonitoring and control of a variety of datapoints and multiple units. It provides thefollowing turbine control features:

• Ability to monitor several datapoints at a time

• Ability to issue simple commands to the unit(s)

• Alterable displays that conform to the user needs

• Easy conformance to the displays required for testing and special procedures

• Control of special unit functions while monitoring associated data

• Ability to accommodate different types of units in one Demand Display file (seeWorking with Files in this chapter).

Only qualified personnel knowledgeable about turbine con-trol and protection should create and execute commands.The commands can affect the control state and action of theunit control.

The Demand Display program can be started and customized through either Win-dows or a DOS-based line command (see Starting Demand Display). This chapterincludes instructions using Demand Display with Mark IV, V, and V LM controllers.For Mark VI controllers, use the toolbox.

Starting Demand DisplayThere are four ways to start Demand Display:

• Double-click the program icon (if it is available on the desktop).

• On the Windows desktop, select Start, Turbine Control Maintenance Group,Unit T#, then Demand Display.

• At the DOS command prompt, type DEMAND then press Enter.

• On the Windows desktop, select Start and Run, then enter DEMAND.EXE in thedialog box.

DEMAND01.DM2 is located inthe F:\RUNTIME directory

Demand Display automatically opens a generic default file DEMAND01.DM2, whichcan use data from multiple units. The program provides two types of working win-dows:

For description and operationof these program windows, seethe Demand Display Windowssection in this chapter.

• A Menu window contains a list (menu) of all of the screens available in the se-lected Demand Display file.

• Data windows contain data associated with a particular unit. These screens areselected from the Menu window.

���� To load an existing .DM2 file from the Demand Display

Or click .

Or click .

1. From the File menu, select Open.

2. Select the file from the directory that displays.

If no existing file is specified when executing Demand Display the default fileDEMAND01.DM2 (located in the F:\RUNTIME directory) loads.

���� To create a new .DM2 file from the Demand Display� From the File menu, select New.

A blank Demand Display Menu screen displays with the single menu item De-mand Display. This is a template that must be renamed after modification.

Saving a new Demand Display file without renaming it over-writes the existing file data with the new file data.

Saving the Demand Display template screen without a newscreen name causes the template to no longer be a blank.

Note Exiting either the screen or file without saving loses changes to the file.

Working with FilesDemand Display uses the following files:

File name Location (Directory) Description

DEMAND.EXE G:\EXEC (executable directory) Opens the Demand Display program. The program opens files with.DM2 extensions (for example, DEMAND01.DM2).

To ensure that the Demand Display programfunctions correctly, do not modify theDEMAND.EXE file.

xxxxx.DM2 RUNTIME directory in the F:\drive (typically). The DemandDisplay program saves newfiles in the directory in whichthe program was executed,unless a different directory isselected.

Demand Display files, which are in binary format, contain defini-tions for all of the Data screens listed on the Demand Display Menufor that file. One file generally saves several Demand Displayscreens. One unit may use several of these files. Open, modify,and save these files using the Demand Display program (do notedit the files directly).

unitname.DD(unitname variesas needed.)

Files that make up the DataDictionary for a unit are storedin its unit-specific directory andshould always be kept there.

Data Dictionary files contain the point list available for use in theData screens. Demand Display obtains points values directly fromthe Data Dictionary. (SYSTEM.DD is the master data dictionary file,which contains pointers to all *.DD files used by the Demand Dis-plays).

Demand Display WindowsAs defined previously, there are two types of Demand Display windows:

To display a screen listed onthe menu, select that item usingthe mouse or Enter key.

• The Menu window lists all screens available in the selected *.DM2 file (see Fig-ure 4-1). It is the starting point for working with Data screens. .

• Data windows are screens selected from the Menu window. The name and defi-nition of Data screen is associated with a particular unit. (For example, Unit 1would differ from Unit 2 in the names and definitions of the Data displays.)There are two types of Data screens: Point List and Data Dictionary (see Fig-ures 4-2 and 4-3).

Figure 4-1. Example of Menu Window

The titlebar displays the filename currently in the Demand Display.

Note Selecting the Help button opens theHelp window. Selecting the Context Sensitive Helpbutton changes the cursor to an arrow with aquestion mark. You can then select an item withthis cursor to open the item�s Help information.

Menu selections include both standard Windowsand program-specific commands.

The toolbar provides quick access to menucommands. Holding the cursor over thebutton displays the button function (see Note).

GEH-6126A Volume I Operator�s Guide Chapter 4 Control (Command) Programs •••• 4-5

Figure 4-3. Example of Data Dictionary Type of Data Screen Using Logics

Both Demand Display windows are made up of three main regions (refer to Figures4-1 through 4-3):

GE recommends that you keepthe screen header visible at alltimes.

• The screen Header is non-scrolling process identification data. It contains the:� Unit name� Site name� Program name� Display screen name� Timetag (pc time) for the oldest piece of data in the Data Area.

Although the header cannot scroll off the screen, you can toggle it on or off byselecting Header from the View menu.

The Timetag displays the oldest of the displayed point name timetags in thecontroller. If the Data Area is empty (contains no valid points), or the Data Areacontains valid points but no data has been received from the unit, then the timetagis No Valid Data. A highlighted timetag indicates that the oldest piece of data inthe Data Area has not been updated for five seconds.

GE recommends that you keepthe column headers visible atall times.

• The Legend displays the non-scrolling column headers for the Data Area. Al-though the header cannot scroll off the screen, you can toggle it on or off by se-lecting Header from the View menu.

• The Data Area is below the Header and Legend. In the Menu screen, the DataArea consists of a list of the Data screens available for viewing. In a Data screen,the Data Area consists of an unlimited list of point names, their values, and units.This information is in a tabular format. (See Data Area Description below formore details.)

Any Command Targets defined display on the right side of the window. (SeeCommand Target Types below for more details.)

The Data Dictionary data screen is built auto-matically from point information stored in theData Dictionary. It configures the screens fromoptions that select the points and commands todisplay. The Value field updates once eachsecond.

This data screen is used forexamining specific point typesand command options.

Data Area DescriptionUnlike the Header and Legend, the point names and command targets in the DataArea scroll with the scroll bars. Demand Display updates only the visible points. Thefollowing sections in the Data Area provide information or require input:

• The Point Name field holds the control signal point name (or synonym) of validunit database points. Entering the point name causes Demand Display to use thecurrently selected unit�s data, which is the unit listed in the Header. Entering theunit name with a colon before the point name, as in T2:{Pointname}, displaysdata from the requested unit.

The Point Name field is 15 characters in length. Demand Display allows you toenter other text into this field for commenting and separating sections of points.Invalid point names are treated as text to allow for entering textual separations ofthe data.

• The Value field contains point value information. This field updates once eachsecond, is right justified, and may contain up to 10 characters. If the value islarger than 10 characters, 10 asterisks display. Enumerated state values displayacross both the Value field and the Units field. The Demand Display programcenters the Enumerated state values across these fields and truncates them if theyare over 17 characters long. A blank Value field indicates either of 2 conditions:

� The point information is invalid

� There is no data for the point in the Data Dictionary

• The Units field displays engineering units for valid point names exactly as en-tered in the Data Dictionary file. This field is blank for invalid point names, butindicates the units for valid points without data in the Data Dictionary. The Unitsfield combines with the Value field to display the text for enumerated points.

• The Command Target field is to the right of the Units field. It contains UnitCommand Targets (buttons) for sending control commands to the unit.

Command Target TypesCommand Targets (see Figure 4-2) are essentially buttons that you select to performthe action identified on its label. There are three Command Target types:

Feedback logic is optional. • Immediate Action type sends a command to the control immediately withoutrequiring further action. They typically perform an incremental change to thecontrol, such as Raise or Lower.

These targets are red and their text turns yellow if the feedback logic is suppliedand met.

• Arm/Execute type typically performs changes to the control state, such as Startand Stop. When selected, it opens the Execute Command dialog box to confirmexecution. Selecting OK sends the command to the unit. Selecting Cancel can-cels the command. No response causes the Demand Display to cancel the com-mand through default.

These targets are green and their text turns yellow if the feedback logic is sup-plied and met.

Note Requiring command confirmation before sending them to the unit preventsexecution of false commands.

Page 51: Speedtronic HMI I

GEH-6126A Volume I Operator�s Guide Chapter 4 Control (Command) Programs •••• 4-7

Speed or Temperature referencesare examples of control signals.

• Analog Setpoint type changes the setpoint value of the specified control. It doesnot use feedback logic. When selected, a Setpoint Dialog box (see Figure 4-4)opens, requesting the new value for the control signal. No response cancels thecommand through default.

These targets are gray and their text turns yellow if the feedback logic is suppliedand met.

Figure 4-4. Example of Change Setpoint Dialog Box

Using Demand DisplayEach unit can have more thanone Demand Display file.

As described previously, each Demand Display file (*.DM2) contains its own Menuwindow and set of Data screens. After you select a *.DM2 file (see Starting DemandDisplay), Demand Display opens into a Menu window. This is the starting point forworking with Demand Display data screens within that file.

Note You can also use command line arguments to start Demand Display and openspecific screens and files. Refer to the Command Line Configuration section of thischapter for the instructions.

text line of the desired Command Target.

2. Select Modify Line from the Edit menu.

The point name dialog box displays (see Figure 4-6).

3. Select the Define Command button.

The Command Definition dialog box displays.

4. Modify the definition as defined above using the procedure to add a CommandTarget.

Feedback Signal contains the feedback signal�sdefinition. Immediate Action and Arm/Executetypes can use feedback signals. Analog Setpointtarget types cannot.Pointname is for the control signal point name of thefeedback signal, which can only be logic point types.Sense can invert the sense of the feedback signal.

Unit command Point Name is the control signal pointnamethat receives the target�s value. Only command pointnames areallowed. They can be pushbutton, logics, or analog setpoints.

Target Type defines which Command Target to use.For definitions, refer to Command Target Types.

Value holds the value the Command target sends to the unit.Use the following guidelines (based on pointnames):• A Target�s value is the number of scans to hold the

target (pushbutton) true. The minimum value is four scans.• Logic States require a value of 1 or 0.• Analog setpoints require a value in the engineering units

specified for the command signal point.

Value type determines how the Command Target sends thevalue to the unit:• Set (=) sends the value from the value type to the unit.

It is required for Pushbuttons and Logic States and optionalfor Analog Setpoints.

• Increment (+) adds the value in the value field to thecurrent value of an Analog Setpoint and sends it to the unit.

• Decrement (-) subtracts the value in the value field from thecurrent value of an Analog Setpoint and sends it to the unit.

Target Text should indicate the Command Target�s action.Text appears black, but turns yellow if the associated feed-back logic is supplied and the sense met.Allows two lines of up to eight characters per line.Text is automatically centered on the target (button).

Other OptionsThere are several other options available in the Demand Display program:

• Selecting Set Font from the Edit menu displays the Windows Font dialog box.You can then select the font and color of the Demand Display screen. The selec-tion applies to all Demand Display screens, except for the Command Targets,whose colors are predefined.

• Selecting Select Unit from the Edit menu allows you to select a unit. In multipleunit sites, any unit can be monitored from one Demand Display screen. SelectUnit displays the Unit Selection dialog box. The currently selected unit is high-lighted. The available units display in alphabetical order. Select the desired unit.This option is not available in single unit sites.

• Selecting Menu from the View menu toggles between the menu and the most re-cently viewed Data screen. Toggling to the Menu screen from a Data screen losesany changes if the Data screen is not saved. The Demand Display program askswhether or not to save the Demand Display screen. Selecting Yes saves thescreen, No toggles to the Menu window without saving. Selecting Menu fromthe Demand Display Menu screen displays the most recently viewed screen.

Command Line ConfigurationThe Demand Display programis executable from any direc-tory.

For Mark IV, V, and V LM controllers, you can use command line arguments to startDemand Display and open specific windows and files.

���� To load an existing Demand Display file from the command line� Type in the DEMAND command with the /FILE argument and complete filename.

For example:

F:\RUNTIME>DEMAND /FILE:{FILENAME}.DM2

where {filename}.DM2 is a Demand Display filename such as OPERATOR.DM2.

Commands and ArgumentsTo configure Demand Display more specifically from the command line, typeDEMAND then any of the following arguments at the command prompt, as needed:

• The /UNIT: argument starts the Demand Display program for the unit specified.For example:

F:\RUNTIME>DEMAND /UNIT:T1

The unit name must be a valid unit. Selecting an invalid unit or no unit displaysthe Unit Selection dialog box. Single unit sites ignore this argument and defaultto the single unit.

• The /FILE: argument executes the Demand Display program and loads a re-quested Demand Display file. For example:

F:\RUNTIME>DEMAND /FILE:OPERATOR.DM2

or

F:\RUNTIME>DEMAND /FILE:F:\RUNTIME\OPERATOR.DM2

Incorrect entries cause errormessages.

This argument requires permission to read the file and/or directory. Entering aninvalid path or filename displays an error message and a blank, untitled DemandDisplay file. When entering no filename, the program attempts to open the de-fault file F:\RUNTIME\DEMAND01.DM2. If it cannot open the file, the programdisplays an error message and a blank file.

Page 58: Speedtronic HMI I

4-14 •••• Chapter 4 Control (Command) Programs HMI for SPEEDTRONIC Turbine Control GEH-6126A Volume I

• The /DISPLAY: argument displays the screen in a particular file. For example:

F:\RUNTIME>DEMAND /FILE:OPERATOR.DM2 /DISPLAY:�LUBE OIL�

If the screen name is invalid, the program displays the menu for the file re-quested. If the file is invalid, a blank, untitled file displays.

• The /TYPE: argument displays the data screen with points specified at the com-mand line. For example:

F:\RUNTIME>DEMAND /TYPE:(L1,F4)

The program displays a blank Demand Display file if the point types are invalid.If a filename is entered, it ignores the point types.

Using Multiple ArgumentsYou can enter multiple arguments to configure Demand Display more specifically.The following combination rules apply:

• File and Display ignores the Type argument

• File ignores an invalid Display argument

• Type can only be used with the Unit argument or alone

• Unit can be used with any other argument, unless it is a single unit system (thenthe Unit is ignored

• Unit ignores any following invalid argument

• Display requires a File argument preceding it

Examples of valid combinations:

F:\RUNTIME>DEMAND /UNIT:T2 /FILE:OPERATOR.DM2/DISPLAY:�LUBE OIL�

or

F:\RUNTIME> DEMAND/UNIT:T2 /TYPE:(F4)

Alarm Logger ControlThis program is used with MarkIV, V, V LM, and VI control-lers.

Several classes of turbine control actions can be automatically logged to a printer.The HMI�s Alarm Logger allows you to select alarms and events to output to theprinter using the Alarm Logger Control dialog box (see Figure 4-8).

The Alarm Logger Control does not access any files when making its changes. In-stead, it writes its output to a special section of global memory that is then read bythe Alarm Logger program, which writes the alarms and events to the alarm printer.

Note Alarm Logger Control does not configure individual points.

Figure 4-8. Alarm Logger Control Dialog Box

Starting the Alarm Logger ControlYou can start the Alarm Logger Control program any of four ways:

• Double-click the program icon (if it is available on the desktop).

• On the Windows desktop, select Start, Turbine Control Maintenance Group,Unit T#, then Alarm Logger Control.

• Enter logger.exe in the Run dialog box in the Start menu.

• Enter logger.exe at the DOS command line, then press Enter.

Hold List (Steam Applications)This program is used with MarkV and Mark VI controllers.

The Hold List is required for the HMI to support Mark V controllers on systems thathave Automatic Turbine Startup (ATS). The ATS code resides in ROM in the <C>processor only.

ATS is active only when the Automatic mode is selected. It is used to set speed con-trol targets and valve positions based on various inputs (such as steam temperaturesand pressures, calculated valve stresses, turbine rotor stresses, and turbine shellstresses, metal temperatures, speed and operating mode.)

Turbine operating conditions may cause a hold, which prevents ATS from setting thespeed or load target to a higher value. In the HMI, the Hold List display enables youto view the current points on the Hold List and to override any or all hold points, ifdesired. Overriding a hold allows the ATS to advance its targets as operating condi-tions permit.

Hold List PointsThe points for the Hold list are listed in the HMI unit configuration directoryF:\UNITN\TOTT_B.SRC file. The list can hold 64 points, maximum. The points areeither Alarms or Events, which display on the Alarm and Event Logger.

This file must be compiled by the table compiler G:\EXEC\TABLE_C.EXE. For MarkV, the point list is then downloaded to <C> and <D> processors with the EEPROMdownloader G:\EXEC\EEPROM.EXE. Select TOTT for the section to download.

Reboot the processors activate any list changes.

Hold List ProgramsFor Mark V, the Hold List is maintained in the <C> and <D> processors by programsin PROM. The Hold List receiver in the HMI is automatically started by the TCIsystem service.

Refer to Chapter 2 and Appen-dix B for more information onalarm displays.

The CIMPLICITY Alarm Viewer displays the Hold List on the HMI. You shouldconfigure a separate CIMPLICITY Alarm Viewer for the Hold List to allow only theholds from a given unit on the display and to exclude holds from the regular alarmlist. You can change this at any time.

Hold List RulesThe Hold List is maintained according to the following rules:

• A point that is picked up is entered in the Hold List as (0 - > 1).

• Unacknowledged entries have an N character in the ACK field.

• Acknowledged entries have a Y character in the ACK field.

• A hold point whose state is a picked up (logic 1) displays the ALARM state.

• A hold point whose state is a dropped out (logic 0) displays the NORMAL state.

• A point has been acknowledged is removed from the Hold List display.

Page 61: Speedtronic HMI I

GEH-6126A Volume I Operator�s Guide Chapter 4 Control (Command) Programs •••• 4-17

• A picked up hold point may be overridden by an operator using the Lock com-mand button.

• An overridden point displays Locked as the first part of their long name text.

• An overridden point loses its override when it drops out (1 -> 0).

• The Hold List displays the time of the last pickup or override, unit, acknowledgestate, current state, override status, and the short and long name of each holdpoint in the list.

• The text Hold displays in the drop number field and the CSDB offset displays inthe reference field. The reference field is typically not displayed.

• The Hold List program in <C>, not <D>, outputs a logic signal indicating thatthere are one or more active holds that have not been overridden. This point isnamed L68DW_ATS_HL. ATS and the turbine control use this signal to set speed,load, and valve position targets.

IntroductionThe CIMPLICITY HMI productmust be installed before theseapplications can be used.

The CIMPLICITY HMI collects data from plant sensors and devices, thentransforms the data into dynamic text, alarm, and graphic displays. Operators canaccess real-time information when monitoring and making control decisions. Theturbine control HMI supports many CIMPLICITY applications for operation.

GFK-1180 provides a detaileddescription of the CIMPLICITYdisplay features.

CIMPLICITY is used primarily to display turbine status screens, which enable anoperator to monitor the unit(s). Refresh rate is typically 1 second. CIMPLICITYcannot configure the turbine control.

CIMPLICITY supports OLE and ActiveX applications for automation displays.CIMB (CIMPLICITY Bridge) enables CIMPLICITY to collect data and alarms froma turbine unit with Mark V. (Mark VI used EGD) TCIMB provides the followingsoftware functions:

• MARKV_RP collects data from a turbine using TCI and forwards the informationto the CIMPLICITY Point Manager.

• EXTMGR collects alarms and forwards them to the CIMPLICITY AlarmManager. (See Chapter 6.)

• LOCKOUT sends a lockout command to a unit using TCI. (See Extended AlarmCommands below.)

• SILENCE sends a silence command to a unit using TCI. (See Extended AlarmCommands below.)

This chapter identifies these functions, as follows:

CIMPLICITY ActiveX ObjectsMicrosoft Corporationdeveloped ActiveX controlsoriginally to support thecreation of Internet-enabledapplications.

ActiveX controls allow different types of software objects to communicate if thesoftware supports ActiveX. The controls are interactive within an application. Theycan be gauges, charts, displays, graphs, or any other object that allows a user toaccess the particular functionality of the object.

For operator control, the HMI includes two CIMPLICITY add-ons supplied byIndustrial Systems (Salem, VA) and identified as ActiveX objects: ManualSynchronizing Display and Triggered Plot. These are described below.

Mark V, V LM. Manual Synchronizing DisplayTo bring a generator online with a power grid, the speed (frequency) and phase angleof the generator�s ac waveform must match that of the power grid. The preferredmethod is to use the turbine controller�s auto-synchronizing function.

OLE is �Object Linking andEmbedding� (see the Glossaryfor a more detailed definition).

For Mark V and V LM, a Manual Sync Object (an OLE object) is provided inCIMPLICITY HMI to allow the user to see a display representing thissynchronization process (see Figure 5-1). The object contains all the fields that needto be updated at a fast rate. For Mark V and V LM, all data in the object is updated at16 Hz. For Mark VI, this operation is at 10 Hz.

The Manual Synchronizing Display must be run from a CIMPLICITY server for thedesired controller. This is because the object uses the messaging services of TCI.

The object consists of five parts, which you can set using tabs on the CIMPLICITYHMI Properties dialog box for that object. These tabs are described below.

Figure 5-1. Manual Sync Object (Used in CIMPLICITY HMI)

Note When you push the Breaker Close or Breaker Trip button, a dialog boxdisplays with two buttons for command confirmation:

• Command sends the breaker close or trip command when selected and released

• Done exits the dialog box and cancels the breaker close or trip command

Mark V, V LM Triggered Plot (Valve Travel)The Triggered Plot function is an ActiveX object that provides a graph of high-speedturbine data. The graph can be triggered by the change in state of a logic signal in theunit. Turbine commands can be sent from here, making it useful for initiating turbinetests (such as valve travel tests).

Like the Manual Synchronizing Display, Triggered Plot is run from a CIMPLICITYserver for the desired controller (see Figure 5-2). You configure the object by settingconfiguration information on the Triggered Plot Control Properties tabs, which is aCIMPLICITY HMI Properties dialog box (see Figure 5-3).

Alarm Filtering in HMI ServersGFK-1180 provides a detaileddescription of the CIMPLICITYdisplay features.

Normally, all alarms for the roles assigned to your CIMPLICITY User ID aredisplayed in the separate Alarm Viewer window (an OCX control). You can alsofilter alarms to display subsets using the Alarm Setups dialog box.

The Alarm Filter feature allows specific displays for alarms. These can be based on:

• Various Resources or Types. An example of a resource would be each single Gasor Steam Turbine, the Exciter, BOP, or the system itself.

• Alarm type or function (for example, Diagnostic, Process, Low, Medium, High).

To configure alarms for filtering in HMI servers, you need to do the following:

1. Configure users

2. Configure resources

3. Configure the alarm filters

All procedures must be followed and completed in the orderpresented.

It is good practice to check off each procedure when youcomplete it. For this purpose, this chapter includes checkboxesnext to each procedure heading

Note The procedures in this section require that you have a working knowledge ofCIMPLICITY, including its Workbench application, User Configuration, ResourceConfiguration, and various aspects of Alarms. Document GFK-1180 provides thisinformation.

Configuring UsersA user is an individual person working with a CIMPLICITY HMI project. EachCIMPLICITY HMI user has the following attributes, which must be configured:

Security � A user may be assigned a Password. If a Password is configured andenabled, then a user cannot access CIMPLICITY HMI project functions withoutentering both the User ID and Password.

Roles and Privileges � A user is assigned a role. Each role in the CIMPLICITYHMI project has certain privileges assigned to it. The privileges define the functionsthe user can access. If a user lacks the privilege to access a secure function, an errormessage is displayed and access is denied.

View of Resources � A user�s view determines the accessible resource data.Alarms for resources outside a user�s view do not display on the user�s AlarmViewer window.

Signal Manager The program can be found onthe HMI inG:\EXEC\CSDBUtil.EXE.

In Mark IV, V, and V LM, the Signal Manager is a program for configuringCIMPLICITY points and alarms for the turbine controllers. The TCI service must berunning before using this utility, since it accesses data from each unit�s DataDictionary, which is built and maintained by the TCI service.

For Mark IV, Mark V, and Mark V LM controllers, the Signal Manager is used toconfigure both points and alarms. Point information is retrieved from the ControlSignal Database (CSDB) and used to populate the CIMPLICITY Point ManagerDatabase. Alarm information is configured for run-time retrieval of the alarm textfrom the TCI.

For a Mark VI, signal management is through an HMI device.

Setup

���� To enable alarms for CIMPLICITY1. Create a new project.

2. Select options in the New Project dialog box , shown below.

After creating a new CIMPLICITY project, you must configure a CIMPLICITY Portfor the communications protocol. This enables signals to be imported into theproject. Refer to the CIMPLICITY Base System User�s Manual GFK-1180 for moreinformation on creating projects and configuring ports.

When the Signal Manager imports controller signals into CIMPLICITY, itconfigures any needed CIMPLICITY devices and resources, if they are not alreadypresent. For example, when importing signals for unit T1, the utility configures aCIMPLICITY device and a CIMPLICITY resource, both called T1.

MARKV_RP is TCIMB functionthat collects data from aturbine using TCI and forwardsthe information to theCIMPLICITY Point Manager.

For each device that Signal Manager configures, it a also configures three virtualpoints needed by the MARKV_RP program. For example, for a device called T1, theutility produces the following virtual points:

• T1_TIME, which contains the unit�s current time

• T1_DATE, which contains the unit�s current date

• T1_VALID, a Boolean value that indicates if the HMI is currentlycommunicating with the unit

SignalsCSDB is Control SystemDatabase.

Signal Manager displays data from the Data Dictionary, which describes the unit�sCSDB. Each row of the display shows information about a signal, divided intocolumns that display the following signal attributes:

AlarmsThe Signal Manager can alsobe used to configure alarms forEX2000 and EX2100 exciters.

CIMPLICITY alarms are only placeholders that are given the appropriate parametersat run-time when they occur. The Signal Manager can be used to configure thealarms for Mark V, Mark V LM, and Mark VI turbine controllers, as well and otherevents. It uses the following configuration IDs:

Alarm use Alarm ID for configuration

Process alarms for turbine P<n>*

Diagnostic alarms for turbine D<n>* (Mark V only)

Hold list points** HOLD (Steam only)

Sequence of events** SOE

Digital events** EVENT

* n is the drop number reported by the controller.** These CIMPLICITY alarms are generated multiple times at run-time with differentparameters for each instance.

When the Signal Manager configures alarms, it also configures alarm classes, asfollows:

• If a needed alarm class is not configured, it is added to the CIMPLICITYconfiguration

• If the alarm class is already configured, the existing alarm class definition is used

• The following alarm classes apply:

Class Definition

PRC Process alarms

DIAG Diagnostic alarms

HOLD Hold list entries

SOE Sequence of events

EVENT Digital events

EX2K Exciter alarms (see below)

Configuring Exciter AlarmsExciter alarms are configured from information contained in the file F:\EX2000.DAT.This information is specific to the EX2000 exciter and represents interpretations ofthe fault codes generated by the EX2000 exciter. The exciter alarms are notplaceholders and are configured with all parameters fully defined.

External Alarm ManagerThe External Alarm Manager is a software component of the CIMPLICITY Bridge(CIMB). It functions as an interface that collects turbine controller alarms andforwards them to the CIMPLICITY Alarm Manager, where they are displayed.

For Mark IV and VI controllers, only process alarms can be displayed. For Mark Vcontrollers, both process and diagnostic alarms can be displayed. Mark VIcontrollers use the toolbox to display diagnostic alarms (refer to GEH-6403).

SDB ExchangeThe System Database (SDB) Exchange is available for Mark VI controllers. Itprovides a way to populate the CIMPLICITY point and alarm databases with thedata extracted from the Mark VI SDB.

Refer to GEI-100279 for more information about the SDB Exchange.

SDB UtilitiesThe SDB Utilities must run onthe PC that is the CIMPLICITYServer.

The SDB Utilities are available for Mark VI controllers. They provide a way topopulate the CIMPLICITY point and alarm databases with the data extracted fromthe Mark VI SDB. The SDB Utilities support four sources for importing signal andalarm data into the CIMPLICITY HMI Project:

• Signals from the SDB, which contains data used by one or more system devices.

• Signals from a comma separated variable file (*.csv), which is a common textformat for spreadsheet and database output.

• Signals from a shared name file (*.snf), associated with the Series 90�-70programmable logic controller (PLC).

• Alarms imported from the SDB into the CIMPLICITY HMI Project alarmdefinitions.

Refer to GEI-100500 for more information about the SDB Utilities.

Modbus® Data InterfaceThis utility is used with MarkIV and VI controllers.

Modbus is an industry standardcommunication link used by theHMI to provide the currentvalue of variables from theHMI to any system thatrequests it via the Modbus link.

The HMI acts as a Modbus slave (see Figure 6-7). This means that it waits forrequests from another computer (a Modbus master) and answers them by returningthe current value of the variables requested. When the HMI receives turbine controlcommands, it forwards them to the turbine controller. Both RS-232C and Ethernetlinks are supported.

CimMod is a program supplied by Industrial Systems (Salem, VA) as part of theCIMPLICITY project. Its function is to communicate between the CIMPLICITYpoint database and the TCI Modbus slave. This allows transfer of data to the Modbusmaster.

OLE for Process Controls (OPC)OPC was developed by theOPC Foundation and endorsedby Microsoft.

OPC is a standard communications mechanism for moving data between HMIs andI/O Servers. It is based on Microsoft OLE technology.

CIMPLICITY OPC Client software provides CIMPLICITY users with access toprocess data from OPC servers. The OPC Client supports all CIMPLICITY datatypes and the following CIMPLICITY features:

• Collection of unsolicited data from an OPC Server

• Poll after setpoint

• Triggered reads

• Analog deadband through CIMPLICITY filtering

Refer to GE Fanuc document GFK-1181 for OPC Client information.

OPC Servers provide real time data by firing events whenever the value of an itemadded by the OPC client changes. The CIMPLICITY HMI OPC Server provides astandards-based way to access run-time information from a CIMPLICITY HMIproject.

Hold List Alarms (Steam Turbine Only)Refer to the Hold List section inChapter 4.

Hold List alarms are similar to process alarms with the additional feature that thescanner drives a specified signal True whenever any Hold List signal is in the alarmstate (hold present). This signal is used to disable automatic turbine startup logic atvarious stages in the sequencing. Operators may override a hold list signal so that thesequencing can proceed even if the hold condition has not cleared.

Process AlarmsProcess Alarms are caused by machinery and process problems, and alert theoperator by means of messages on the HMI screen. The alarms are created in thecontroller using alarm bits generated in the I/O boards or in sequencing. The userconfigures the desired analog alarm settings in sequencing using the toolbox.

Process Alarms are generated by the transition of Boolean signals configured by thetoolbox (for Mark VI) with the alarm attribute. The signals may be driven bysequencing or they may be tied to input points to map values directly from I/Oboards. Process alarm signals are scanned each frame after the sequencing is run. InTMR systems, process signals are voted and the resulting composite diagnostic ispresent in each controller.

A useful application for process alarms is the annunciation of system limit checking.Limit checking takes place in the I/O boards at the frame rate, and the resultingBoolean status information is transferred to the controller and mapped to ProcessAlarm signals.

Two system limits are available for each process input, including thermocouple,RTD, current, voltage, and pulse rate inputs. System limit 1 can be the high or lowalarm setting, and system limit 2 can be a second high or low alarm setting. Theselimits are configured from the toolbox in engineering units.

There are several choices when configuring system limits. Limits can be configuredas enabled or disabled, latched or unlatched, and greater than or less than the presetvalue. System out of limits can be reset with the RESET_SYS signal.

Process (and Hold) Alarm Data FlowThe operator or the controllercan take action based onprocess alarms.

Process and Hold alarms are time stamped and stored in a local queue in thecontroller. Changes representing alarms are time stamped and sent to the alarmqueue. Reports containing alarm information are assembled and sent over the UDHto the CIMPLICITY HMIs. Here the alarms are again queued and prepared foroperator display by the Alarm Viewer.

Operator commands from the HMI, such as alarm Acknowledge, Reset, Lock, andUnlock, are sent back over the UDH to the alarm queue. There they change the statusof the appropriate alarms. An alarm entry is removed from the controller queue whenits state has returned to normal and it has been acknowledged and reset (refer toFigure B-2).

Hold alarms are managed in the same fashion but are stored on a separate queue.Additionally, hold alarms cannot be locked but may be overridden.

Figure B-2. Generating Process Alarms

Diagnostic AlarmsDiagnostic Alarms are caused by equipment problems, and use settings factoryprogrammed in the boards. Diagnostic Alarms identify the failed module to help theservice engineer quickly repair the system. For details of the failure, the operator canrequest a display on the toolbox screen (Mark VI) or review the details in the HMIAlarm Display screen.

The controller and I/O boards all generate diagnostic alarms, including the VCMI,which generates diagnostics for the power subsystem. The controller has extensiveself-diagnostics, most that are available directly at the toolbox (for Mark VI).

Diagnostic alarms can be viewed from the toolbox by selecting the desired board,clicking the right mouse button to display the drop down menu, and selecting displaydiagnostics. A list of the diagnostic alarms for any I/O board can be displayed, andmay be reset from the toolbox.

StagelinkARCNET-based communication link used by many controllers.

synchroscopeInstrument for detecting whether two moving parts are synchronized

tagIdentifying name given to a process measurement point.

TCEADS200TCEA Emergency Overspeed Board (TCEA), located in the controller�sProtective Core <P1>, is used for the high-speed protection circuitry. It is oftenreferred to as the Protective Processor. The three TCEA boards used in the <P1>core are referred to as the <X>, <Y>, and <Z> processors. These boards scale andcondition input for high and low shaft speed, flame detection, and automaticsynchronization. They then output the signals via the TCEA (location 1) board overthe IONET to the <R1> core�s DS200STCA board. The TCEAs send emergency tripsignals to the Turbine Trip Board (DS200TCTG). Each TCEA has its own powersupply and power supply diagnostics.

TCITurbine Control Interface. The GE-supplied software package on the HMI thatinterfaces to the turbine control.

TCP/IPCommunications protocols developed to inter-network dissimilar systems. It is a defacto UNIX standard, but is supported on almost all systems. TCP controls datatransfer and IP provides the routing for functions, such as file transfer and e-mail.

timetagInformation added to data to indicate the time at which it was collected. Also called atime stamp.

TMRTriple Modular Redundancy. This is an architecture that uses three identical sets ofcontrol and I/O, and votes the results to obtain highly reliable output signals.

toolbox (Control System Toolbox)Windows-based software package used to configure the Mark VI controllers,exciters, and drives.

trendTime-based screen plot showing the history of process values, available in theHistorian, HMI, and the Control System Toolbox.

triggerTransition in a discrete signal from 0 to 1, or from 1 to 0, initiating an action orsequence.
