IntroductionThe Human-Machine Interface (HMI) for SPEEDTRONIC turbine control is anoperator interface for real-time control of power-plant processes and equipment. It

runs on a computer-based workstation using a Microsoft

Windows Operating

System. The HMI provides operator display and control for the Mark* IV, Mark* V,

Mark* V LM and Mark* VI turbine controllers.

This document, Volume I, covers HMI operation. It is written as a guide to help the

operator in using applicable HMI and supported CIMPLICITY

HMI functions with

the SPEEDTRONIC Mark IV, Mark V, Mark V LM and, Mark VI turbine

controllers. Volume II covers HMI maintenance features.

HMI Overview

The Human-Machine Interface (HMI) for SPEEDTRONIC turbine control is a

operator interface for real-time control of power-plant processes and equipment. It

runs on a pc-based workstation using client-server architecture. The HMI provides

operator display and control for the Mark IV, Mark V, Mark V LM, and Mark VIturbine controllers.

The HMI can be configured to operate with a variety of system devices, integrating

plant operation at a single level. Plant operators and engineers can view and control

plant equipment through a common interface.

The HMI uses many different software packages to perform its functions. The

primary package used for the operator interface is CIMPLICITY HMI.

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 levels).

Issue commands to the selected turbine or driven device (for example: Start,Stop, Cooldown On, Auto, and Raise/Lower Output).

NoteCIMPLICITY HMI is a product of GE Fanuc Automation.

Product Features

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

Dynamic graphics

Alarm displays

Process variable trending

HMI access security

Maintenance functions such as logic forcing and user-defined point displays

HMI Components

The turbine control HMI consists of the following functional components (Refer to

figureData Flow between HMI Components):

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

An HMI Serverconnects to the controllers to retrieve and display real-

time data. It optionally makes this information available on the PlantData Highway. HMI Serverstypically also provide the

programming toolsets for turbine controllers.

An HMI Viewercontains the operator interface software, which allowsthe operator or maintenance personnel to view screen graphics, data

values, alarms, and trends, as well as to issue commands, edit control

coefficient values, and obtain system logs and reports. The HMIViewergets its real-time data over the Plant Data Highwayfrom anHMI Server.

Note GFK-1180 provides a detailed description of the capabilities of theCIMPLICITY product.

Turbine Control Interface (TCI)is a software package used to communicatewith Mark IV and Mark V controllers to retrieve real-time information and

alarms. It also provides the programming toolset for the Mark V controllers.

Specialized displays are included for specialty functions such as logic forcingand displaying high-speed data. TCI performs the following functions for the

turbine controllers:

Mark IV: Provides real-time interface for data and alarms

Mark V: Provides real-time interface for data and alarms, specializeddisplays, and the programming toolset to configure a Mark V.

Mark VI: Provides real-time interface for alarms.

TCIMB(TCI/CIMPLICITY Bridge, previously called CIMBor CIMBridge) isan interface between the CIMPLICITY and TCI, as follows:

Enables CIMPLICITY to collect data and alarms from controllerssupported by TCI.

Forwards setpoint and alarm commands from CIMPLICITY to TCI for

controllers supported by TCI.

System database(Mark VI only) establishes signal management anddefinition for the control system. It provides a single repository for system alarm

messages and definitions, and defines mapping between controller software and

physical I/O. Additionally, it defines Ethernet Global Data(EGD)exchanges, which provide the HMI with controller real-time data. Access to thedatabase is required when configuring the system, but is not required while

running.

Depending on the size of the system, these elements can be combined into a single

computer, or distributed in multiple units. The modular nature of the HMI allowsunits to be expanded incrementally as system needs change.

Graphic Displays

The HMI uses the graphics and alarm features of the CIMPLICITY software to

provide an operator interface integrating many different types of controllers. The

graphical displays offer representations of equipment in real-time.

The HMI displays data and processes operator commands using screens that

represent a variety of signals, their values, and units. Display items change color

based on logic signals, while certain objects are dynamic and refresh with every dataupdate, like bar graphs. Normal viewing allows the displayed data to be updated

once per second, and special tools allow collection and storage of data at faster rates.

HMI graphic displays include main unit, vibration, sensor readings, control setpoints,

alarms, permissives, logic forcing, demand display, sequence editor, dynamic rung

display, 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.

NoteScreens are developed using preconfigured graphic building blocks that

provide commonality to different plant applications that use the HMI.

Sample HMI Display for Gas 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:

CimEditis an object-oriented program that creates and edits the user graphicscreen displays

CimViewis the HMI program that displays the process information in graphicalformats. Screens have a 1-second refresh rate

Note GFK-1396 provides a detailed description of the CimEdit and CimViewapplications.

CIMPLICITY Alarm Viewerprovides alarm management functions such assorting and filtering by priority, by unit, by time, or by source device. Also

supported are configurable alarm field displays.

The point control panelprovides a listing of points in the system with real-

time values. The basic control engineallows users to run scripts in response to system

events. The program editor is used to create Visual Basic

Example of a Turbine Control Communications Network

NoteRefer to GEH-6126 Vol. II and individual controller documents for more detailabout the networks and protocol used for HMI communication.

For Ethernet TCP/IP communication to third party equipment, such as a distributed

control system (DCS) the HMI provides GE Industrial Systems standard messages

(GSM) and Modbus

protocol. GSM application layer protocols support four classes

of application-level messages: administration, event-driven, periodic data, and

common 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 system

allows an operator at a remote location to initiate any operator command and to

monitor turbine data.

Optional FeaturesThe HMI supports a Windows-based Historiancomputer, which collects and stores

data from the control units for later analysis. OSI Software, Inc.s PI-ProcessBook

provides historical and real-time trending of all process data, and can run in theHistorian and/or HMI Viewer. The HMI communicates with the Historian through

the Ethernet-based Plant Data Highway (PDH) and through RS-232C lines.

Note Document GEH-6422 provides information about the Historian.


14/134


The HMI includes a time synchronizationcapability in both low- and high-resolution forms. When redundant time masters are available, all turbine controllers

and operator interface units on a system automatically select the same, highest

quality time master.

A Web Gatewayallows operators to access HMI data from any computer on thenetwork that includes the HMI. Third party interfaces allow the HMI to exchange

data with the DCS, programmable logic controllers, I/O devices, and othercomputers.

Application-Specific Features

When the HMI is paired with either the Mark V or the Mark VI turbine controllers,

the turbine control software tools can be added to as an integral part of the 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 oras a Balance-of-Plant(BOP) control interface, the ICS/BOP toolset becomes partof the HMI.

Technical SpecificationsExact hardware and software specifications for the HMI are determined according to

the needs of the customer and purchased options. The HMI workstation is typicallysent to the customer with the HMI program already installed.

(such as valve travel tests).

Note The Triggered Plotfunction is run only from a HMI server. It is not runfrom a HMI viewer. It uses high-speed data (up to frame rate) that is only available

from a HMI server.

Only qualified personnel knowledgeable about turbine

control and protection should create and execute

commands. The commands can affect the control state and

action of the unitcontrol.

Viewing Trip Information

Viewing Trip Information - Mark IV

Mark IV has no trip information display capability in an HMI. This information is

available from the panel-mounted Operator Interface.


Viewing Trip Information - Mark V and Mark V LM

Trip information is automatically gathered by the HMI from the controller. The last

ten trips are stored on the HMI and can be viewed by using the Trip Log Viewer.

The information about the last trip can be manually uploaded at any time, or the

current accumulated data can be uploaded even without a trip.

Mark V trip history information about the last trip is stored in the controller, and is

lost if the controller is reset or rebooted. The HMI runs the automatic collection scan

typically every five minutes, but the trip information can be uploaded manually

before the controller is reset or rebooted.

Mark V LM trip history information is stored in non-volatile memory and is not lost

if the controller is reset or rebooted.

Viewing Automatically Collected Trip Logs

The Trip Log Vieweris used to view the trip log data. The user selects a valid unitand chooses a file from the list presented. The trips are identified by their date and

time stamps. The latest trips are listed at the top of the list. After selecting the trip to

be viewed, the results are displayed in a Notepadwindow. The data is organizedaccording to pre-trip, post-trip, and alarm categories.

To view a Mark V or a Mark V LM Trip log

Web Historical Alarm and Event Exception Report

The Historical Alarm and Event Exception Report is a tool for analyzing exception

data stored on the HMI. An Exception occurs when one of the Process Alarm, Event,

or SOE points scanned by the controller changes state. A change in state is a point

pickup or dropout, or a change in the lockout state of a Process Alarm. This data isreported to the HMI whenever a change occurs.

Historical Alarm and Event Exception Report

The report contains a header, which displays the users form input selections:

The Site name and the Unit names selected. The Data types selected.

The Time format.

The Reports Start time and End time.

The Report type.

The output page contains the following data on each line:

The Time tag of the exception; this time comes from the controller.

The Unit name

The Status of the alarm or discrete event, indicated as follows:

1 indicates Pickup, and 0 indicates Dropout. L indicates Lock, and U indicates Unlock.

The Point name for SOEs and Events, or processor and drop number for alarms.

GEH-6126CVol I HMI Operators Guide Chapter 3 Display and Control (Command) Programs 3-1

IntroductionThe HMI provides an online database for collecting and storing data from multiple

controllers. Refer to the controller documentation for description of the online

database.

The HMIs display-only programs allow the user to view turbine control data asneeded to monitor the system. User cannot, however, send control commands from

these displays.

The HMIs control (command) programs allow the user to send commands to the

turbine control.

Viewing Sequencing Information

The program running in the controller that defines its control actions is called itssequencing. Sequencing typically consists of individual AND/OR logic operations

(called relay-ladder logic rungs) and calls to library functions that do analog or

complex operations (called primitive blocks or big blocks).

Some controllers (such as the Mark V) use separate programs in the HMI to edit the

sequencing and view the running sequencing. Other controllers (such as the Mark

VI) use the same program for both, with a privilege level controlling whetherchanges to the sequencing are allowed. Both schemes allow the user to view the

current running sequencing overlaid with the real-time data that is driving that

sequencing. This is often useful for determining what conditions are driving aparticular condition, such as what is preventing the unit from being ready to start, or

what conditions are driving a particular alarm.

Viewing Sequencing Information - Mark IV

The HMI has no knowledge of the sequencing running in the Mark IV controller, and

as such has no sequencing display capability. Sequencing displays are available fromthe Mark IV controller's panel-mounted Operator Interface. The HMI does provide a

Demand Displayfor Mark IV data, but it does not display the sequencing thatcreates the values.

Note Refer to GEK-83865and GEK-83866.

Viewing Sequencing Information - Mark V andMark V LM

The sequencing running in a Mark V controller is referred to as the ControlSequence Program(CSP). The HMI's Dynamic Rungdisplay is used to viewthe CSP overlaid with the current values from the controller.

The Dynamic Rungdisplay program includes:

Animation to display the current state of the control.

Relay Ladder Diagram (RLD) rungs.

Primitive and Big Block rungs. Some blocks include pictures of the sequencing

inside the block.

Starting a Demanddisplay with all of the signal names and values from thecurrent rung.

A Findutility to display the locations and usage of all occurrences of a signal.

The following rules apply to the Dynamic Rungdisplay:

Can only display control segments from a single unit at any time.

Can display multiple control segments from the given unit.

Cannot be used to alter the units CSP.

The Dynamic Rung Display does not independently

verify that the operator interface files match the unit

control files. If these files do not match, the Dynamic

Rung Display can display data that does not reflect the

state of the unit control.

The Dynamic Rungdisplay can save picture file displays in a text format for futurereference. Any text editor can open these text files, but it should use the

MSLineDrawfont distributed with the TCI product.

Dynamic Rung Display Windows

The Dynamic Rungdisplay is a multiple document interface that allows the user toopen windows with different segments or the same segment. The user can also have

picture file windows and sub rung windows open.

Example of a Dynamic Rung Display

The Rung Window can contain the following types of rungs:

RLD rungs

Primitive rungs

Big blocks Comment rungs


58/134


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

In both the RLDand Primitive Rungdisplays, the timetag provides the oldestpiece of data being displayed in the RLD portions of the rung. If it has not

received data from the unit the timetag display isNo Valid Data. If the oldestpiece of data in the rung has not been updated for at least five seconds, the

timetag is highlighted. Rung animation occurs once per second (Refer to Table

Animation Rules for Both RLD and Primitive Rungs).

In both the Big Blockand Comment Rungdisplays (where there is nodynamic data) the timetag indicates the operator interface time when the rung

was displayed. The time does not update.

NoteHeader data is located in the upper left of the window.

Animation Rules for Both RLD and Primitive Rungs

Viewing Trip Information

Trips are defined as the unplanned (usually not requested) shutdown of the turbine

while the unit is running. A normal shutdown is not considered a trip.

Viewing Trip Information - Mark IV

An HMI has no Mark IV trip information display capability. A Trip Display isavailable from the panel-mounted Operator Interface.


Viewing Trip Information Mark V and Mark V LM

Trip information is automatically gathered by the HMI from the controller. The last

ten trips are stored on the HMI and can be viewed by using the Trip Log Viewer.

The information about the last trip can be manually uploaded at any time, or thecurrent accumulated data can be uploaded even without a trip. The information is

viewed using Trip History.

Mark V trip history information about the last trip is stored in the controller, and is

lost if the controller is reset or rebooted. The HMI runs the automatic collection scantypically every five minutes, but the trip information can be uploaded manually

before the controller is reset or rebooted.

Mark V LM trip history information is stored in non-volatile memory and is not lost

if the controller is reset or rebooted.
