Data Trends And Reports
Individual turbine unit and plant performance can be evaluated by viewing
archived and real-time process data.
Sequence of events data, captured at a
one millisecond rate, is available for analyzing high-speed events. Plant performance
reports are output using a spreadsheet.
Turbine Operators Screen
Toolbox Engineering Screens
The Windows operator interface uses
special graphics which provide access
to all online turbine and generator
data. These user-friendly screens allow
quick and easy changes to setpoints,
loads and valve settings. A single selection
can bring up a multitude of screens
including the alarm management system,
generator, temperature and vibration data,
and test screens.
The GE Control System Toolbox provides graphical
configuration using function blocks. Screens show
the contents of all modules and diagnostic displays
feature the status of all boards for rapid troubleshooting. Repairs for TMR systems are done by
online board replacement and program download
via the data highway.
Diagnosis and data are only a mouse click
