                                                      SPEEDTRONICtm Mark V
                                                                 Troubleshooting Training Course

Objective

To provide sufficient knowledge in the theory of operation of the Mark V control system, both hardware and software, and the GE gas turbine system, to allow course graduates to obtain and understand information, prioritize the impact of the information, diagnose the most likely cause and effect, effectively complete corrective action, and monitor the system to assure the problem has been accurately diagnosed and corrected.

Provide sufficient experience with available documentation to be able to locate and accurately define system information and specifications, diagnostic aids, troubleshooting procedures, and safety precautions to enhance basic problem solving and troubleshooting skills.


Prerequisite

Participants should have experience in GE gas turbine operation, including normal start up, loading and shutdown, a working knowledge of the various systems, an understanding of PC based computers including DOS based operating systems, SPEEDTRONICtm Mark V <I> operation, and familiarity with the Instruction Book materials containing maintenance and operation publications.

If the class contains both Heavy Duty and Aeroderivative Customers, both turbine control systems will be covered.


Course Equipment

Students will have access to a PC programmed with SPEEDTRONICtm Mark V software. Standard MS 6001B unit software will be provided. Access to a SPEEDTRONIC Mark V panel will be part of the course for hardware familiarization and as part of a hands-on troubleshooting exercise.


Course Documentation

Each participant will be provided with a copy of the SPEEDTRONICtm Mark V Maintenance Manual, Application Manual, and User's Manual; CSP, Cross Reference, Alarm List, TCK2REPT, MODBUS Report, Constant List, I/O Report, Control Specification, Piping Schematics, Piping Device Summary, and Nomenclature Summary.
