Mark VIe - Aeroderivative Control Systems Operation, Maintenance & Troubleshooting

The course designed primarily for LMS100 and Next Generation LM6000 Mark VIe applications. The course material and exercises provide training on hardware, network interfaces and software tools which are used to troubleshoot alarms, edit the control logic, configure the Inputs and outputs (both hardwired and networked), and calibrate Servo-Actuated Valve LVDT’s and other devices. Lectures and hands-on exercises also develop an understanding of ToolboxST, WorkstationST (if applicable), TCI (if applicable) and Cimplicity/HMI. The course DOES NOT include repair procedures for gas turbine components.

Operating and maintenance personnel should attend this course together to develop a working relationship regarding the maintenance requirements of the unit, and how unit operation may affect these requirements.

Instruction is given in English; therefore, a reasonable ability to read and understand spoken English is required.

• All visitors must check in at the Front Desk each morning. Please carry a picture ID. Name badges will be distributed when checking in and must be worn at all times while in the facility. Please sign out at the end of each day.

Effective March 1, 2011, the GE Energy Learning Center will become a tobacco-free campus and smoking will be prohibited in all areas of the property, including outdoor space owned by GE. This means that all employees, as well as customers, contractors and visitors will be prohibited from using tobacco products anywhere on our campuses, including in motor vehicles. If an individual wishes to use tobacco products he/she needs to leave the campus in order to smoke or to use smokeless tobacco. Leaving campus is only acceptable during regularly scheduled lunch breaks. Leaving the property during shorter class breaks will not provide adequate time to return to class. Persons who do not comply will be asked to leave the campus.

The duration of this course is 10 days
