1. OVERVIEW

This document describes the recommended truck startup and checkout procedures at an Original Equipment
Manufacturer (OEM) facility or a customers mine. Special programming of specific mine software requirements,
software updating, system verification procedures, and troubleshooting information are also included. Refer to
SECTION 14., SOFTWARE VERSIONS, for current software version features.

These instructions cover GE360AC 360 ton applications of the GE OHV AC 17KG535 control group.

NOTE: Screen content of the wPTU* Toolbox display screens may vary slightly from what is shown
when software upgrades occur.

Information on the screen content and functions of the wPTU Toolbox are also provided. Complete wPTU
Toolbox operational procedures are in the OHV wPTU TOOLBOX USERS GUIDE, GEK91712.

1.1. TOOLS AND TEST EQUIPMENT

The following are recommended tools and test equipment used in the startup and troubleshooting of the AC
OffHighway Vehicle (OHV) propulsion system:

1. Analog Multimeter and Digital Multimeter

2. Megger**, 0 to 1500 volt max. (02000 Megohms) @ 2 mA max.

3. Portable Test Unit (PTU) loaded with GE Transportation Systems (GETS) OHV wPTU Toolbox software.

4. PTU cable, 9pin RS232 communications cable with 1 male end connector and 1 female end connector

5. 1/4 in. thin wall socket

6. Connector pin extraction and insertion tooling as follows:

a. Pin Extraction, Amp Pt. 305183 (for CNACNF ICP connectors, PS [FH41] connector, Gate Drive Power
Supply Connectors, and VAM low voltage connectors)

b. Pin Insertion, Amp Pt. 910021 (refer to above connectors)

c. Pin Insertion, Amp Pt. 2008932 (for highdensity 104 pin connectors)

d. Pin Extraction, PeiGenesis (ITT Cannon distributor) Pt. CETF8016 (external control interface
connectors CNX15)

e. Pin Insertion, PeiGenesis (ITT Cannon distributor) Pt. CITF8016 (refer to above connectors)

7. Fluke 89 IV or equivalent with capacitance measurement capability.

NOTE: If a need arises to disassemble one of the 104pin backplane connectors to an electronic control
card panel, a special thin wall socket or nut driver will be required to loosen and remove the assembly
hardware. The socket can be purchased. However, if not purchased, it is recommended that a standard
1/4 in. socket or nut driver be sufficiently machined on a grinder to enable its use in performing the
disassembly.

1.2. HANDLING ELECTRONIC PANEL PRINTED CIRCUIT CARDS

It is not recommended to pull cards from the panel any more times than necessary when starting up, testing, or
welding on the truck. This practice can cause more damage than it prevents because it puts unnecessary cycles on
the connector pins and may cause loose or dirty pins that could cause a control system malfunction.

CAUTION: If cards must be removed from a panel, power to the panel must be turned OFF before removing
or inserting cards into the panel.

CAUTION: It is important to note that printed circuit cards in the electronic control card panels are sensitive
to static electricity. Handling cards without proper grounding precautions could damage electronic
components mounted on them. Also, when transporting or storing these cards, industry recommended
special static electricityproof containers should be used.

1.3. SAFETY
Safety precautions which must be observed when working on Vehicle Test Instructions for 360 Ton AC OHV
systems appear throughout this publication. WARNINGS indicate the potential for personal injury, and CAUTIONS
indicate the potential for equipment damage.

2. PORTABLE TEST UNIT (wPTU) DESCRIPTION

The PTU presently used by all GE field personnel is an IBM compatible, portable PC with a hard disk, compact disc
(CD), 3.5 floppy diskette drive(s), and RS232 communication port. Any PC to be used with the wPTU Toolbox
should have a 500 MHz or higher processor speed and at least 128 Meg of random access memory (RAM). The
wPTU Toolbox is for use with software Version 19.03 and higher and 17FB173 Cards Version 3 and higher (this is the
CPLD version that shows up on the wPTU Software Version screen).

All adjustments, setup procedures, and diagnostic troubleshooting of the trucks control system can be made
through this PTU when loaded with the OHV wPTU Toolbox software.

Qualified GE and truck builder (OEM) specialists are able to download new software, troubleshoot system faults,
and establish the control system configuration (horsepower, etc.).

2.2.1. RealTime Data

The wPTU Toolbox can view propulsion system information such as voltages, currents, temperatures, and
speeds on a continuous basis. All propulsion system I/O can be monitored. The realtime data can be stored on the
laptop for future use.

2.2.2. Stored Event Data

The wPTU Toolbox can view and manipulate previously stored propulsion system information stored through the
onboard diagnostic system. Event data can be viewed in many formats including summaries or more detailed
framebyframe snapshots.

2.2.3. Statistical Data

The wPTU Toolbox can be used to view statistical information stored by the propulsion systems onboard
statistical manager. Numerous aspects of propulsion system operation are tracked and can be viewed on the screen
as well as downloaded to the laptop for analysis offboard.

2.2.4. Setting Propulsion System Configuration Options

The wPTU Toolbox is used by the OEM and mine personnel to generate configuration files, which can customize
propulsion system settings. Propulsion system options, pedal calibrations, and truck identification names can be set.

2.2.5. Software Downloading

The wPTU Toolbox is used to download system software and configuration files to the propulsion systems
central processing unit (CPU) cards. The propulsion system controller (PSC), truck control interface (TCI), and
Inverter software can be downloaded in a simple onestep process.

2.2.6. Data Analysis

The wPTU Toolbox software contains an integrated graphing package that allows all of the system data to be
graphed for more detailed analysis. Realtime data can be graphed while on the truck or graphs can be generated
from data previously saved. All saved data can also be converted to Comma Separated Variable (CSV) format for use
by thirdparty software packages such as spreadsheets.

2.2.7. System Configuration

Many propulsion system parameters can be modified such as setting the onboard time and date, setting test
analog outputs, data logger setup, and system parameter modification.

3.8. REST MODE/PARK BRAKE

The GE OHV AC propulsion system has a mode of operation called REST that is entered automatically when the
Park Brake is set (provided that all necessary truck operating conditions are met, such as truck stopped). In this mode
of operation, power is removed from the DC link of the propulsion system, thereby preventing the propulsion system
from either accelerating or retarding the truck.

Use the REST mode indicating light, Park Brake indicating light, and the capacitor charged lights on the main
control cabinet to confirm that the Park Brake has been set and the REST mode has been successfully achieved.

The following are the major reasons for setting the Park Brake and commanding the propulsion system to REST
mode:

1. It should always be done when shutting down a truck, prior to turning off the engine.

2. It should always be done when the operator leaves the operators cab.

3. It is often done when the truck is expected to idle for an extended period of time.

4. It is often done during the course of truck startup and troubleshooting.

27
GET6872, VTI For GE360AC OHV Propulsion Systems

To bring the GE OHV AC propulsion system out of REST mode, release the Park Brake. Provided that truck
operating conditions are met, there will be a period of time while the propulsion system energizes the DC link and gets
ready for either accelerating and/or retarding mode truck operation.

4. CONFIGURATION FILES
Configuration files are contained in the GE Truck Configuration Utility (CFG AC Vxxxx) (current version). GE
configuration file descriptions are displayed when this utility is opened. The configuration utility is opened and files
selected as follows:

1. Click the mouse on the AC Configuration Utility icon on the desktop or from the Start Menu go to START >
Programs > GEOHVPTU 1xx (current version) > AC Tools > CFG AC Vxxxx (current version).

Default Configuration Files and Descriptions.

NOTE: Files that apply to 360 Ton vehicles are shaded. Files 1 13 are not included in Version 20.

One OEM configuration file should be created by the GE Product Service representative or the OEM
representative for each truck type at the mine location. The GE base configuration files in TABLE 1 should be used.

The OEM files should then be used to create an individual truck configuration file for each truck. For example, if a
mine location contained an AC truck of the following type:
 GE360AC KAC 960E with GEB16s
 GE360AC KAC 960E with GEB26s
The OEM configuration file would be as shown in Figure 21.

6. TRUCK STARTUP PROCEDURES

6.1. CIRCUIT CONTINUITY AND RESISTANCE CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENTS

The following circuit continuity and resistance checks and adjustments should be performed prior to energizing the
AC OHV propulsion system equipment. These procedures require the use of a voltohmmeter (VOM) that is set for
resistance measurements.

WARNING: Electric shock can cause serious or fatal injury. To avoid such injury, personnel should take
and observe proper precautions when making system adjustment or performing system or component
electrical tests. For resistance checks, this should include, but not be limited to, ensuring that all
equipment is deenergized, including energy storage components such as capacitors.

6.1.1. VOM Circuit and Component Checks

If a VOM reading is significantly different from the value listed in the Table 3, consult the system schematic and
inspect the affected circuit, checking connections and replacing components and wiring as required.

NOTE: An analog meter should be used for link resistance checks because a digital meter may give
erroneous readings due to the high capacitance of the link.

6.2. MEGGER TEST FOR GROUNDS

WARNING: Electric shock can cause serious or fatal injury. To avoid such injury, personnel should take
and observe proper precautions when making system adjustment or performing system or component
electrical tests.

CAUTION: Check the polarity of the suppression modules across all coils: relays, contactors and reverser.
If any are reversed, output channels on the digital input/output cards can be damaged during attempts at
energization.

CAUTION: A bell ringer must not be used for wiring checks; use an ohmmeter or light continuity checker.

CAUTION: Before removing any of the cards in the 17FL386 electronics panels, turn Battery Power to the
control system OFF.

The control equipment circuitry is classified in two major categories: main power circuit and alternator field control.
Both circuit categories must be separately prepared for megger.

NOTE: Do not put shorting wire on terminal boards.

6.2.1. Preparation For Megger Test

Perform the following procedures to prepare the circuit categories for megger by either removing wiring
connections, insulating or jumpering, as indicated by the instructions. Use shorting wire for jumpering procedures,
however, be careful not to short devices to ground or to the wrong devices.

1. Ensure that the Park Brake is applied (places propulsion system in REST mode or place the Reset Switch into
REST if equipped) by placing the Park Brake rocker switch in the ON position.

2. Make sure engine is not running.

3. Place the GF Cutout switch, located inside the main control cabinet, in the CUTOUT (down) position.

49
GET6872, VTI For GE360AC OHV Propulsion Systems

4. Disconnect Battery Power.

5. Disconnect the round power plug from the top of each phase and chopper module:

P11A+, P11A, P11B+, P11B, P11C+, P11C, P12A+, P12A, P12B+, P12C+, P12C, P21A+, P21A,
P21B+, P21B, P21C+, P21C, P22A+, P22A, P22B+, P22B, P22C+, P22C, CD1, CD2, CM1 and CM2

6. Disconnect all Integrated Control Panel (ICP, 17FL386) 104 pin connectors.

7. Install a jumper between the positive and negative DC link bus bars in the control cabinet.

8. Disconnect the CCL1 and CCL2 connectors.

9. Disconnect the circular connectors from all VAMs and disconnect VAM grounds.

10. Remove all wires from ground block GND1 and GND2.

11. Remove the GF contactor arc chute and install a jumper between the main contactor tips on GF.

6.2.2. Megger Test Procedure

CAUTION: To prevent equipment damage, use a 1500 V DC max. @ 2 mA max. megger only.

6.2.2.1. Main Power Circuit

1. Install a jumper from the GF main contactor tip to ground.

2. Connect a megger between the power circuit DC positive bus bar and ground. Turn on the megger and test at
1500 V DC max. The reading should be approximately one megohm (typical reading is 11 megohm).

3. Turn off and disconnect the megger.

WARNING: The DC link will hold a capacitor charge after megger testing the main power circuit. Allow
sufficient time for it to discharge.

6.2.2.2. Alternator Field Circuit

1. Remove the jumper from the GF main contactor tip to ground.

2. Install a jumper from the power circuit DC positive bus bar to ground.

3. Connect a megger between the GF main contactor tip and ground. Turn on the megger and test at 1500 V DC
max. The reading should be at least two megohm (typical reading is infinity).

4. Turn off and disconnect the megger.

This concludes the megger test. If any readings were below one megohm, an insulation fault is present and must
be located and repaired. If the reading is low because of moisture, the machine must be dried out by heating it for
several hours. Heat can be applied using several methods: 1) heat lamp, 2) hair dryer, 3) passing a controlled current
through the winding for a specific time period, 4) removing the machine from the truck and baking it in an oven at a
controlled temperature for a specific time period.

After repairs are made, remegger that circuit to ensure a good quality repair. To aid in finding a fault, refer to
SECTION 6.3., TROUBLESHOOTING FOR GROUNDS.

6.2.3. Restore Circuitry

If no faults were found, remove shorting wires and reconnect all wires and cables previously disconnected for this
test as follows:

1. Remove the jumper wire between the GF contactor tips and reinstall the GF contactor arc chute.

2. Remove the jumper wire from the power circuit DC positive bus bar to ground.

3. Remove the jumper wire between the positive and negative DC link bus bars.

4. Reconnect all wires previously removed from ground block GND1 and GND2.

5. Reconnect the VAM connectors and the CCL1 and CCL2 connectors.

6. Reconnect all ICP (17FL386) connectors.

7. Reconnect the power plug to all phase and chopper modules.

8. Reconnect Battery Power.

6.3. TROUBLESHOOTING FOR GROUNDS

1. Give the truck a quick visual inspection looking for the following:

a. Moisture, oil, or debris in or on motorized wheels, alternator, grid resistors, main control cabinet, and power
cables

b. Any wire or metal that might be touching exposed connections

c. Frayed or rubbing cables

2. If the visual inspection does not locate the cause, follow the megger procedures to isolate the ground to one of
the three major loops.

3. Once the ground has been isolated to a particular loop, that loop should be broken down into smaller sections
and meggered again.

NOTE: Refer to the overall OEM provided system schematic to obtain the most convenient points for
subsection isolation.

NOTE: This subdividing of the grounded section should continue until the ground is isolated in a
particular cable or piece of equipment. Appropriate measures can then be taken.

4. If the ground occurs in a motorized wheel or alternator, the unit should be checked by removing all connections
and again megger the circuit.

5. Perform a vigorous inspection of the unit following the guidelines of the inspection made in step 1.

6. If no reason for the ground can be determined, or if the problem cannot be corrected, removal of the unit for
repair at an authorized shop will be necessary.

7. If the ground is isolated to the Dynamic Retarding Assembly, disconnect all cables leading to it and remegger
the Dynamic Retarding Assembly.

51
GET6872, VTI For GE360AC OHV Propulsion Systems

8. If the ground is still present, thoroughly inspect the Dynamic Retarding Assembly for any obvious problems
such as frayed or rubbing cables and water or debris inside the Dynamic Retarding Assembly.

9. If the inspection does not locate the cause, isolate the two halves of the Dynamic Retarding Assembly and
remegger to localize the ground to one side or the other.

10. ,If the ground occurs on the blower motor side of the Dynamic Retarding Assembly, disconnect the motor and
check for grounds in the unit once again.

11. If the ground is still present in the Dynamic Retarding Assembly, it will be necessary to disconnect each resistor
section until the grounded section is found.

6.4. LOW VOLTAGE POWER SUPPLY CHECKS

connected.

6.4.2. Power Supply Voltage Checks

NOTE: If during the course of these checks a reading is significantly different from the expected value,
consult the system schematics, inspect the circuit, check connections, and replace components as
required.

6.4.2.1. Battery
1. Turn the truck battery switch ON and check polarity of the battery voltage at the location where BATFU was
removed. The BATFU input side should read positive, and the other side should read negative (battery
common).

2. Turn the truck battery switch OFF and reinstall the BATFU fuse.

3. Turn the battery switches and the key switch in the operators cab ON to enable control power availability to the
AC OHV propulsion system.

6.5. PSC AND TCI CARD CHECKS

1. Turn the CPS OFF.
2. Verify that all ICP (17FL386) cards are properly installed and connected to the backplane of the panel.
3. Check the cards as follows:
a. Locate the FATL LEDs at the bottom of the PSC CPU card (17FB174) and the TCI CPU card (17FB174)
near the card extractor for each.
b. Turn the CPS ON and observe that both LEDs on both cards should initially turn ON and then turn OFF. If
any LED remains illuminated, it may indicate either a bad CPU card or a problem with the +5V power supply
in that panel.
c. Determine the possible faulty card by turning the CPS OFF, removing one card from the affected panel, and
turning the CPS ON until the faulty card is identified.

CAUTION: Always turn the Control Power Switch (CPS) OFF before either removing or installing control
cards in electronic panels. Failure to do so will result in card and/or panel equipment damage.

6.17. INVERTER LOAD TEST

WARNING: The inverter load test involves developing torque on the individual wheel motors at standstill.
A location allowing for some movement of the truck is required. Personnel must stay clear of the front and
rear of the truck when an inverter is providing power to a wheel motor in order to avoid the risk of injury, and
possibly death, due to truck movement.
The truck cab must be manned at all times, or a means must be provided to stop the truck should motion
occur when an inverter is providing power to a wheel motor.

1. Shut down the engine and ensure the following in preparation for this test, correcting any problems before
proceeding further:

a. The braking system is functional.

b. The wheel motors are clear for rotation and personnel are aware that wheels will be rotating one at a time.

c. If tires are not installed, verify that the truck is solidly mounted on jack stands and that the truck is stable.

2. Connect the PTU to the PSC serial port (located in the operator cab), start the GE OHV wPTU Toolbox, enter
password, select PSC Panel, select appropriate truck type, and click on LOGIN to wPTU Toolbox.

3. From the window browser, select PTU Screens > PSC > Normal_Operation > Real_Time > PSC Real

6. Start the engine.

7. Release the Park Brake (propulsion system exits REST mode) by placing the Park Brake rocker switch in the
OFF position.

CAUTION: Do not accelerate the wheel motors if the truck is on jack stands.

8. Place the Direction Selector handle in the FORWARD position and verify that the truck moves forward if wheels
and tires are installed on the truck.
If the truck is on jack stands due to the absence of tires and/or wheels, view the left wheel motor. It should rotate
in a counter clockwise direction when viewed from the transmission end. The right wheel motor should not be
rotating.
If the truck movement or the wheel rotation is incorrect, stop the truck, stop the engine and correct the problem
before proceeding.
9. Record the following readings on the PSC Real Time Data screen:

a. Record the torque command and feedback values for Inverter #1 (TQCMD1 and TRQFB1) and Inverter #2
(TQCMD2 and TRQFB2). The minimum torque command should be around 750 ftlbs. Note any
significant differences.

b. Record both Inverter #1 (I1LV) and Inverter #2 (I2LV) link voltages. They should be approximately the
same with a maximum allowable difference of 7 V. The DC link volts should be approximately 700 V and the
DC link amps should be less than 50 amps.

10. Place the Direction Selector handle in the NEUTRAL position.

11. Apply the Park Brake (places the propulsion system in REST mode) by placing the Park Brake rocker switch in
the ON position.

12. If wheels and tires are installed, verify that truck moves forward in a smooth manner. Stop the truck and move
Direction Selector switch to REVERSE. Again verify that truck moves in reverse in a smooth manner.
If wheels and/or tires are not installed, verify that the wheel motors rotate in an even manner and that the
following wheel motor rotations as viewed from the transmission side are correct:
a. Direction Selector handle in FORWARD

1) Left wheel motor counterclockwise rotation

2) Right wheel motor clockwise rotation

b. Direction Selector handle in REVERSE

1) Left wheel motor clockwise rotation

2) Right wheel motor counterclockwise rotation

NOTE: If problems are encountered during this testing, check the wheel motor speed sensors, the speed
sensor wiring, wheel motor power cabling, and the inverter control card for problems.

71
GET6872, VTI For GE360AC OHV Propulsion Systems

13. When inverter testing is complete, move the Direction Selector handle to the NEUTRAL position, apply the
Park Brake (places the propulsion system in REST mode) by placing the Park Brake rocker switch in the ON
position, cut out both Inverter #1 and Inverter #2 using the DID panel per the procedure in SECTION 8.5.9.,
INVERTER CUTOUT, and shut down the engine.

6.18. FUNCTIONAL GROUND FAULT DETECTION TEST

This is a test procedure to ensure that the ground fault detection circuit is operational by placing a test wire jumper
from the propulsion system section of interest to truck frame ground. It is expected that ground faults will be detected
by the control system during this test.

If, for any reason, this test encounters ground fault detection problems (fails to detect entered fault), immediately
stop any further testing and correct the problem. Each time a ground fault is detected, a ground fault event is logged in
the event summary log and propulsion power will be removed by the control system. Prior to removing the wire jumper,
ensure that the truck is shut down, the engine is stopped, the Parking Brake is applied (propulsion system commanded
to REST mode), and all DC link voltage indicating lights are OFF. With the jumper removed, the ground faults can be
cleared and erased before proceeding further with the test.

The following procedure test the ground fault circuit using the procedure in SECTION 6.16., SELF LOAD
TESTING .

WARNING: When installing or removing the test wire jumper for ground fault detection checking, always
ensure that the truck is shut down, the engine is stopped, the Park Brake is ON (places propulsion system is
in REST mode) and ALL DC link voltage indicating lights are OFF. Auxiliary DC link charged indicating
lights are provided on the top of the control for visual indication. It is recommended that the auxiliary DC
link be measured by separate instrumentation as well before proceeding with maintenance or trouble
shooting. Failure to do so may result in personnel injury or death.

1. Install a test wire jumper between the DC bus and a ground point in a convenient location (refer to WARNING
above).

2. Start the engine.

3. Perform steps 1 8 of the procedure in SECTION 6.16.3., SELF LOAD TEST PROCEDURE.

4. A ground fault event with accompanying loss of propel should be generated shortly after the RP1 contactor
closes.

5. If a fault event is not generated, abort the test and troubleshoot the ground fault circuitry. (Refer to SECTION
6.2. MEGGER TEST FOR GROUNDS and SECTION 6.3. TROUBLESHOOTING FOR GROUNDS for
procedures.)

6. Shut down the engine and remove the test wire jumper (refer to WARNING above).

7. STATISTICAL DATA

7.1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND DEFINITION

The Statistical Data Collector uses Parameter Counters and Parameter Profiles to record operating
conditions for various occurrences on the truck.

72
 VTI For GE360AC OHV Propulsion Systems, GET6872

To make data most useful, there are four counters for every Statistical Counter and five for every Statistical Profile.
These counts are named by the method used to reset the count to zero. For the counter, there is a lifetime count,
LCount, which is associated with its date, LCount Start. There are also three other counters, Last Qtr, This Qtr, and
This Day.

A parameter is a defined occurrence. Each parameter has an identification number called Par #, and a short name
called Description. Each parameter is an occurrence that is counted in some unit such as hours or the number of
times the conditions have been correct to declare that the occurrence happened.

The units in which the counters count are listed under Units in TABLE 4, Statistical Data Codes Counters
(located in this section). TABLE 3 also contains an additional explanation of the conditions that define a statistical
parameter as having occurred in the column titled Count Conditions.

There are two types of parameters: Counters (TABLE 4) and Profiles (TABLE 5, Statistical Data Codes
Profiles, located in this section). The profile parameters have one more characteristic, Counter Range, identified
by Profile Number, which segments the possible range of values into a maximum of 17 ranges of values. The number
or count within a particular Counter Range or Profile Number is the time that the parameter had a value that was
within that range.

When examining the number of counts for a parameter, it is often useful to know over what period of time the counts
occurred. To aid in determining how long it took to get a certain number of counts for a Statistical Data Counter
parameter, the Statistical Data is presented in the form of four counters.

The first counter, LCount, indicates how many counts have occurred since the LCount Start date. This is
intended to be a lifetime counter. It can be reset to zero by a privileged user, and the LCount Start will automatically be
set to the date on the CPU board when the user performed the reset.

The second counter, Last Qtr is just the total number of counts for the parameter over the lastfiscalquarter, also
known as the lastthreemonths. This counter has the same value in it all quarter long. At midnight on a quarter
change, this counter is overwritten by the This Qtr value as thisquarter becomes lastquarter.

The third counter, This Qtr, keeps a moment by moment count of occurrences of the parameter. The counts are
not reset to zero until midnight of the next quarter.

The fourth counter, Last Mnth, keeps a moment by moment count of occurrences of the parameter over the last
month. This counter has the same value in it all month long. At midnight on a month change, this counter is overwritten
by the This Mnth value as thismonth becomes lastmonth.

The fifth counter, This Mnth, keeps a moment by moment count of occurrences of the parameter just as This Qtr,
except the This Mnth count is reset to zero at midnight of the next month.

The sixth counter, Yesterday, keeps a moment by moment count of occurrences of the parameter over the
previous day. This counter has the same value in it all day long. At midnight, this counter is overwritten by the This
Day value as thisday becomes yesterday.

The seventh counter, This Day, keeps a moment by moment count of occurrences of the parameter just as This
Qtr, except the This Day count is reset to zero every midnight.

If the GE control panel is shut off before midnight, any necessary resetting of counters is done when the panel next
powers up after midnight.

73
GET6872, VTI For GE360AC OHV Propulsion Systems

Whenever the truck is programmed, that is, whenever the CPU Card has the contents of the flash proms changed,
the LCount, Last Qtr, and This Qtr counts are not changed. However, the This Day count will be reset to zero.

8. DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION DISPLAY (DID) PANEL

The DID panel (17FM558) indicates the operating condition of the truck and is a primary troubleshooting aid for
maintenance and service personnel.

The AC OHV propulsion system utilizes the message lines and the function keys on the DID panel (Figure 60). The
message lines provide propulsion system operating information, test status information, and function key label
information, depending upon the DID panels mode of display. The function keys assume different functionality
depending upon the DID panels mode of display.

10. SPECIAL OPERATIONS AND TESTS

10.1. WELDING ON THE TRUCK

When welding on trucks equipped with GE control panels, connect the welders ground cable such that welding
current does not flow through the trucks control wires or cables. This ground connection should be made directly to (or
as close as possible to) the part being welded. For example, if welding is being done on the deck, connect the ground
directly to the deck not to the control box or cab. If welding is being done on the control box door, connect the ground
to the control box door not to the box frame.

Extreme care should also be taken to prevent electrical current from passing through bearings in the alternator or
motorized wheel motors as this will result in bearing damage and premature bearing failure.

DO NOT pull any control cards or remove panel connectors. This practice can cause more damage than it
prevents. It puts unnecessary cycles on the connector pins and may cause loose or dirty pins which could result in a
control system failure.

10.2. MOVING TRUCK WITH ONE WHEEL MOTOR

WARNING: The following procedure is intended for use under emergency or unusual conditions only and
should not be used in lieu of proper troubleshooting and/or maintenance procedures. In any case, extreme
caution must be exercised and all standard safety procedures employed. When using this special
procedure, the entire procedure should be read before proceeding.

The following procedure should be followed when it has been determined that either one inverter or one wheel
motor is faulty, and the truck must be moved for servicing using the single, operational inverter/wheel motor.

NOTE: Truck speed is limited to 10 mph by the propulsion system when operating with only one wheel
motor.

1. With truck stopped and the engine running, apply the Park Brake (places the propulsion system in REST mode
or, if equipped, move the Rest Switch to the REST position) by placing the Park Brake rocker switch in the ON
position and place the Direction Selector handle in the NEUTRAL position.

CAUTION: Single inverter/wheel motor operation of the truck should only be done with an empty truck.
Operation of a loaded truck with one inverter/wheel motor may result in damage to that wheel motor.

139
GET6872, VTI For GE360AC OHV Propulsion Systems

2. Remove the load, if present, from the truck.

3. Cut out the affected inverter using the DID Panel per the procedure in SECTION 8.5.9., INVERTER CUTOUT.
This will disable that inverter/wheel motor combination from either accelerating or retarding the truck.

4. Release the Park Brake (propulsion system exits REST mode or, if equipped, move the Rest Switch to the
operational position) by placing the Park Brake rocker switch in the OFF position.

5. Place the Direction Selector handle in FORWARD and move the truck to the desired location.

10.3. VOLTAGE ATTENUATION MODULE (VAM) CHECKS

With all wiring removed from the suspect VAM, check that a nominal resistance of 2 Megohms exists between the
points in the charts below. Resistance to ground or to any other points on the VAM should be infinite. Refer to the
receptacle and plug diagrams in the system schematic for connector arrangement.

With all wiring removed from the suspect current measuring module, the following are the nominal resistance
values between the connection points indicated:
 Between + and : greater than 20 K ohm
 Between M and + : greater than 1 Megohm
 Between M and : greater than 1 Megohm

10.5. LINK CAPACITANCE TEST MONITORING

The main propulsion DC link capacitance test can be performed through the DID panel (refer to SECTION 8.5.3.,
LINK CAPACITANCE TESTING) provided that truck conditions permit this test. Those conditions are as follows:

1. Engine running and DC link charged.

2. Truck stopped with no direction commanded and accelerator pedal not pressed.

When the DC link capacitance test is run, the AC OHV propulsion system commands the DC link to be charged to
operating level and then it monitors its decay rate from that level. This decay rate is then used to calculate the amount
of DC link capacitance.

The DC link capacitance test can be monitored and its results viewed on a wPTU screen. This screen can be
accessed as follows:

1. Connect the PTU to the PSC serial port (located in the operator cab), start the GE OHV wPTU Toolbox, enter
password, select PSC Panel, select appropriate truck type, and click on LOGIN to wPTU Toolbox.
2. From the window browser, select PTU Screens > PSC > Normal_Operation > Tests > Capacitance
Test (Figure 92).
3. The Capacitance Test screen is now displayed and the test data can be viewed (Figure 93).

4. Close the Capacitance Test display screen by clicking on the X in the upper right corner of the screen.

5. Click on the Target button to go back to the GE OHV wPTU Toolbox Login screen, close the wPTU
Toolbox, shut down the PTU, and disconnect it from the PSC serial port.

11. PHASE MODULE AND GATE DRIVER TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

11.1. INTRODUCTION

WARNING: Traction motor leads and the DC link may have high voltage present from charged capacitors.
Remove power and discharge capacitors per standard instructions before troubleshooting the equipment.
Auxiliary DC link charged indicating lights are provided on the top of the control for visual indication. It is
recommended that the auxiliary DC link be measured by separate instrumentation as well before
proceeding with maintenance or troubleshooting. Failure to do so may result in personnel injury or death.

WARNING: When troubleshooting this truck, unless stated otherwise the truck engine should be shut
down and power removed from the DC link. At 400 RPM engine speed, the DC link is normally commanded
to be energized. DO NOT use the REST mode (entered by applying Park Brake) to remove power while
troubleshooting any of the truck circuits.

Phase module faults can be either related to the phase module itself or its associated gate driver. The fault text will
identify the phase module in question. The 17KG535 and 17KG537 control groups are dual IGBT drive. Each phase
of each Motorized Wheel has two IGBT modules per phase polarity. For example, P11A+ and P12A+ feed phase A
positive (+) to Motorized Wheel TM1(left), P11A and P12A feed phase A negative () to Motorized Wheel TM1 (left).
This is phase A positive and negative cycle of the three phase power to TM1 (left). Phase B of the three phase is
supplied by P11B+ and P12B+ feed phase B positive (+), and P11B and P12B. Phase C positive and negative cycle
is done with P11C+ and P12C+, and P11C and P12C.

The same process is done for supplying three phase power to Motorized Wheel TM2 (right). TM2 phase A supply is
generated by P21A+ and P22A+, and P21A and P22A. TM2 phase B supply is P21B+ and P22B+, and P21B and
P22B. TM2 phase C supply is P21C+ and P22C+, and P21C and P22C.

11.2. TEST/INSPECTION PROCEDURE

1. Check the wPTU PSC Real Time Data screen to determine if the inverter involved in the phase module fault
is active or not. Use the wPTU Manual Test Screen to turn on the Gate Driver Power Supply (GDPS) of the
relevant inverter. (Refer to SECTION 6.7., PSC MANUAL DIGITAL INPUT/OUTPUT TEST PROCEDURES.)

2. Run the Inverter VI Test as follows to determine if the fault occurs again:

a. Apply the Park Brake (places the propulsion system in REST mode or, if equipped, place the Rest Switch in
REST mode) by placing the Park Brake rocker switch in the ON position and place the Direction Selector
handle in the NEUTRAL position.

b. Start and run the engine.

c. When the engine has achieved its idle speed, release the Park Brake (propulsion system exits REST mode
or, if equipped, activate the Rest Switch to operational mode) by placing the Park Brake rocker switch in the
OFF position.

d. Monitor status messages on the wPTU PSC Real Time Data screen, Inverters section. In the right side
of the Inverters section of the screen, Inverter VI Test State is shown. During the Inverter VI Test, the
status box should read Test. Upon completion, there should be the message Completed.

143
GET6872, VTI For GE360AC OHV Propulsion Systems

e. If no faults are logged, and there is no recent history of inverter faults, the truck can be released for service.
If faults are logged proceed with the remainder of this troubleshooting section.

3. Shutdown the engine and the control. Allow the capacitor charge to drain down.

WARNING: Hazardous voltages are present in this equipment. Ensure that the Control Power Switch (CPS)
is in the OFF position and that the Generator Field Contactor (GFCO) switch is in the CUTOUT position
before attempting any work on 17KG535 components. Check that Capacitor Charge Lights (CCLs) are not
illuminated. Use a VOM to VERIFY that no voltage is present before touching any terminal. Failure to
observe these precautions may result in death or serious personal injury.

a. Replace any phase module shown as failed in the test procedure. Refer to publication GEK91733
CONTROL GROUP 17KG535 for detailed instructions for removal and replacement of inverter
components.

b. Run the inverter test again starting in Section 11.2. to verify correct operation of the inverter packages.

12. 17FB174 CIRCUIT CARD TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

12.1. INTRODUCTION

Often, 17FB174 boards used in GE OHV propulsion systems have no defects found when returned to the factory
for unit exchange (UX) repair. It is believed that most of the perceived defects are the result of problems
communicating to the boards with the PTU, combined with a misunderstanding of the light patterns seen on the bottom
edge of the card. This section provides a definition of the light patterns on the card bottom edge and describes a
procedure to use Microsoft HyperTerminal to troubleshoot 17FB174 boards.

12.2. CARD EDGE LIGHTS

There are two LED indicators on the bottom front edge of the boards defined as follows:

LED1 / WDTIME Watchdog timer indicator.

ON Watchdog Timer timed out.

OFF Watchdog Timer not timed out.

LED2 / FATL Fail indicator.

ON CPU reset or CPU fails its selftest or EPROM checksum error.

OFF No condition met for ON state.

The LED indicators flash during bootup and can flash if no program is installed in the CPU board. LEDs can also
flash if the 5 V Power Supply is low. Normally, the CPU board is functional and can be communicated with, or
downloaded to, if the LEDs are flashing.

NOTE: If using HyperTerminal while LEDs are flashing, text will be continuously scrolling with a variable
time delay between messages.

The FATL indicator can be ON solid if the 5 V Power Supply is low or if there is a major failure of the board. Always
check the 5V Power Supply voltage if the FATL indicator is ON solid.

Typical LED patterns for Version 20 software are listed in TABLE 7

may flash. Lights my also flash if the 5 V power supply voltage is oscillating.
3 Low battery will not effect microprocessor board operation. However, statistical data and other values stored
in RAM may be lost.
4 Light pattern can vary per board as well as if the wPTU (PC) is connected to the relevant board serial port.
5 Open wPTU serial communication ground wire with wPTU connected can cause board bootup (buck)
routine to not run during powerup.

12.4. USING HYPERTERMINAL TO COMMUNICATE TO 17FB174 BOARDS

HyperTerminal is a terminal emulator package that is included in Microsoft Windows 95/98 and 2000. This
software package can be used to communicate to either CPU board through the normal PTU connection. It allows
access to bootup text that can be used to determine if communications with the CPU are active, the CPU board has
passed self tests, whether software has been loaded onto the board, if the software is running (and PTU
communication protocol is active), and if any other abnormal situation exists.

The CPU board flash memory can also be erased using HyperTerminal. This will subsequently allow PTU
downloading of the software in cases where the CPU board is cycling messages and the PTU cannot break in and
begin downloading. HyperTerminal is used to break into the bootup routine and then flash memory is erased.

12.4.1. Pitfalls/Traps When Using HyperTerminal

If having communications problems with the PTU, it is common to close the PTU window and try again. If the
window is closed while the PTU is trying to communicate, the COM1 port may not be released by the PTU and
HyperTerminal will not be able to connect to it. In this instance, HyperTerminal will generate a message Unable to
Open COM1 and the banner at the bottom left hand side of the main window will say Disconnected. Try to reset the
COM1 port by disabling it and reenabling it at the window shown in Figure 95. If this does not work, reboot the
computer.

NOTE: The banner at the bottom left hand corner of the main window will say Connected and record
connection time if the COM1 port is active.

HyperTerminal saves previous session text (without asking). If it is necessary to verify that the text stored in the
HyperTerminal window is from only the present session only, start a new connection.

Should say this if com port is OK

E44733

148
 VTI For GE360AC OHV Propulsion Systems, GET6872

The HyperTerminal screen shows a white background for text that is in the latest window. If the window is scrolled
backwards, the background turns light blue. The boarder between the white and light blue background in no way
indicates anything about the timing of the text displayed, just that the text contained within the present HyperTerminal
connection is more than one window long.

12.4.2. Accessing HyperTerminal

Before beginning, connect the serial cable to the relevant CPU board serial port and to the COM1 port on the PC.

1. HyperTerminal is located under the Start Menu > Program Files > Accessories > Communications >
Hyper Terminal. Then double click on the Hypertrm.exe icon (Refer to Figure 96).

NOTE: HyperTerminal can also be accessed from the wPTU login window by selecting the Terminal
Emulator Mode button (Figure 4).

2. The window shown in Figure 97 will appear and ask to name the new connection and pick an icon. If a
connection was previously defined, just click Cancel. If defining a new connection, type in the new name,
select an icon from those provided, and click OK.

Double click here

 VTI For GE360AC OHV Propulsion Systems, GET6872

NOTE: The lower left hand banner will say Connected and count the connection time. This only
indicates that HyperTerminal has access to the COM1 port, NOT that HyperTerminal can talk to the
connected CPU board.

6. If HyperTerminal cannot connect to COM1, a message window appears that says Unable to Open COM1 and
the banner will say Disconnected as shown in Figure 101. If this happens, try to reset the COM1 port by
disabling it and reenabling it at the window previously shown in Figure 95. If this does not work, reboot the
computer.

7. Once HyperTerminal is connected to the COM1 port, cycle control power to the connected CPU board. The
screen will appear as shown in Figure 102 if the CPU board is already programmed and running. The 17FB144
and 17FB174 boards will show the text line pertaining to the battery test. Figure 102 shows the HyperTerminal
main window scrolled backwards 1 line to show the complete text that comes out of the CPU board.

NOTE: The HyperTerminal screen shows a white background for text that is in the latest window. If the
window is scrolled backwards, the background turns light blue. The boarder between the white and light
blue background in no way indicates anything about the timing of the text displayed, just that the text
contained within the present HyperTerminal connection is more than one window long.

8. The screen will appear as shown in Figure 103 if the CPU board is not programmed. The 17FB144 and
17FB174 boards will show the text line pertaining to the battery test.

NOTE: Unit Exchange (UX) cards are not programmed when shipped.

NOTE: The following text message will scroll with a variable time delay between cycles if the LED lights
on the bottom edge of the CPU board are flashing. Lights may or may not flash if no program is installed
in the CPU board.

9. To erase the flash memory (program) on a CPU board, the bootup routine must be interrupted. To do this, hold
down the TAB key and cycle control power to the board. Let the TAB key up when you see the Keyboard
interrupt accepted message as shown in Figure 104.

Hold TAB key down until this

message appears while cycling power.

E44742

Figure 104. Hyperterminal Main Window After Cycling Control Power, With Tab Key Held Down
(Interrupting BootUp Routine).

10. After the bootup routine has been interrupted, the CPU board flash memory (program) can be erased by
typing ef and hitting ENTER. When typing in the ef characters, they will most likely appear somewhere to the far
right of the =>. This is OK, just type them in and hit ENTER. The message shown in Figure 105 should appear if
the flash memory was erased successfully.

11. An open PTU serial communication ground wire with the PTU connected can cause the CPU board bootup
(buck) routine to not run during powerup. If this happens, the text in HyperTerminal will stop after the 25MHZ
board detected message as shown in Figure 106.

12. When exiting HyperTerminal, it will ask you if you want to save the session. If you click OK, you can select the
session name the next time you enter HyperTerminal and you will not have to perform the communications
setup.

NOTE: If you do save the session, any text that was in the HyperTerminal window (including that scrolled
past the view window) will also be saved.

After the initial save, HyperTerminal saves session text (without prompting) every time you close it. If it is
necessary to verify that the text stored in the HyperTerminal window is from the present session only, start a new
connection.
