CAUTION
OPERATION OF THE GEN2MON SOFTWARE IN THE
SIMULATION MODE PRESENTS A SERIOUS RISK TO THE
SYSTEM. IN THE SIMULATION MODE, THE OPERATOR IS
ACTUALLY FORCING VALUES INTO THE CONTROLLER.
THEREFORE, IT IS POSSIBLE TO OVERCOME ANY OF THE
NATURAL SAFEGUARDS WHICH MAY BE IN PLACE TO
PROTECT THE PLANT.
WHEN IN SIMULATION MODE, EXERCISE GREAT CARE IN
ADJUSTING VALUES.
THE SOFTWARE IS A POWERFUL
FACILITY AND SHOULD NOT BE USED CARELESSLY.
f. In the Simulation Mode, carefully adjust the controller’s input parameters, such as
temperature, pressure, switch position, etc. Adjust the values within normal and
practical operating limits and just enough to verify that a realistic change in output is
produced.
g. When all inputs and outputs have been checked, return the input parameters to their
original settings. The first phase is completed.
4-1.7.2.2. Second Phase Testing. Perform the second phase of initial tests of the
system as follows:
a. Turn on operating power to the primary output circuits such as pilot relays, motor
controllers and heat valves.
b. Ensure that operating power to plant machinery (compressors, fans, etc.) is turned
off
c. In the Simulation Mode, observing the CAUTION noted above, carefully adjust the
controller’s input parameters. Adjust the values within normal and practical
operating limits and just enough to verify operation of the primary output circuits.
d. When all outputs have been checked for proper operation, return the input
parameters to their original settings. The second phase is completed.
4-1.7.2.3. Third Phase Testing. Perform the third phase of initial tests of the
system as follows:
a. Turn on operating power to the plant machinery in accordance with the
manufacturers’ instruction manuals.
b. In the Simulation Mode, observing the CAUTION noted above, carefully adjust the
controller’s input parameters. Adjust the values within normal and practical
operating limits and just enough to verify control and operation of the plant
machinery.
c. When items of plant machinery have been checked for proper operation, return the
input parameters to their original settings. The third phase is completed.
d. Exit the Gen2Mon program.
e. Turn off operating power to the entire Genesis System and the PC.
