• Investigated DCS points using various tools such as Integrity and point detailing

• Identified 55 definite bad DCS points that can be deleted• This doesn’t count the fifteen bad points that

are being repurposed (Cationic Promoter) and bad points that are part of the TM2 TAD system

• Bad systems that were identified• OBA Pumps (2102)• Yellow Dye Pumps (6139) • Black Dye Pumps (6140)• RB Pumps (6142)• Deflaker Discharge to Broke(1363)• Resolver• Cationic Promotor(being re-purposed for

DETAC)

• Created a CBT on how to investigate potentially bad DCS points

• The CBT can be used to teach technicians how to navigate through the DCS

• Deleting unused or obsolete points frees up memory for future installations and helps to prepare for the controls upgrade in 2018

• Next Step: Technicians can be trained using the CBT and the DCS will continue to be cleaned up.

• Purpose is to prevent water from leaking through the existing valve and into the pulper. This makes it more difficult to control consistency

• Marked up electrical drawings for the installation• Received quotes from Norman King and ESB for electrical

and mechanical install• Norman King just needs to wire two inputs• ESB needs to run air from the solenoid to the valve

• Determined the location of I/O for the ball valve• Output (Solenoid) – D25, R2, S09• Inputs (two proximity sensors located on the

valve) – D25, R2, S01

Next Step: The valve will be installed during the next down on TM2

• Originally, the goal was to fix the animation problems with the Kentucky Wildcat graphic meant to show when Broke was exceeding expectations

• Once the animation problem was fixed, other graphics were added to show when Broke was meeting the target and when they were missing the target.

• Additionally, the placement of three of the valve and flow meter pairs was altered to more accurately reflect where they are in the field. Essentially, they were shown backwards in the HMI screen originally

• The goal was to figure out how to set up the board to display messages and display live values from PLC42A

• Older versions of this board are installed on converting machines HRT, MBFF, and MFT1

• Has never been used to communicate with a Modicon PLC

• Currently have an active PLC connection over Modbus/TCP

• Able to display messages in a particular order

• Next Step: Need to troubleshoot problems with receiving correct live values from PLC42A

• Goal was to figure out how to communicate with the Strapper#1 SLC PLC and extract the .acd file in case the PLC failed.

• Determined that the 1747-PIC cables that were originally used to program the SLC’s were obsolete• PIC’s only work with operating systems older than

Windows XP SP2• XP mode seems to be XP SP3

• After speaking with Rockwell Automation tech support, it was determined that a new cable needed to be ordered.• 1747-UICC13• Driver can be configured in Windows 7 in RSLinx

STRAPPER #1

SLC 500• Next Step: The new cable will be ordered and tested on arrival
