PROJECT : PROBLEM :

BELLARY TPP COMMISSIONING OF max DNA SYSTEM

When the software *.4F files were loaded into the relevant panels required for boiler light up, it was observed that many signals were already in the simulated mode(called forced signal). This was preventing the proper functioning of the logics. Commissioning Engineers at site have tried to remove the unwanted simulations by un-forcing the same (removing simulated signals). But it was seen that there were many such signals. Site posed the problem to EDN engineers and received information that the above software *.4F files contains TEST directory, which was used during testing of the software/logics at EDN shop floor, before the panels were dispatched to site. The TEST directory was deleted during commissioning of the panels at site. All *.4F files received for the BOP and SG max DNA system also contained TEST directory. Hence site has to delete all the test software from the program, so that the system operates with actual site conditions. The procedure for deleting the *.4F files, was received over phone and the same is given below: 1. Open maxtools and in MaxTOOLS, open configuration (*.4F) of the required Digital Processing Unit (DPU) and delete the TEST directory. 2. Right click the INPUT menu and select the tabular details from the drop down menu. 3. Select the DTAG and also select show references. 4. Double click on forced val (simulated value), forced val ref, mode and mode ref on the available attributes. Click OK. 5. All DTAGS are displayed showing the above attributes. 6. In the DTAGS, change the forced val from 1 to 0 and in the mode attribute change all forced signals to normal.

7. Remove all simulated signals like sim1.out, sim2.out, -- --, etc. and exit. 8. In the file drop down menu, select validate references. 9. Deselect optimized and start. 10.Check for any errors. If present, click on the errors and check for red signals and remove the same if present in forced ref and mode ref. 11.In the file drop down menu, select validate references. Repeat step 9 to 11 till no error message is displayed. 12.Once complete, select full download for loading configurations to DPU. After the above operation, the logics were functioning satisfactorily and connected systems were commissioned successfully.
