3.9. REST MODE

The GE OHV AC propulsion system has a mode of operation called REST that is called for numerous times in the
truck startup procedure. In this mode of operation, power is remov
removed
ed from the DC link of the propulsion system, there-
by preventing the propulsion system from either accelerating or retarding the truck.

REST mode is commanded by applying the Parking Brake.


Brake. Applying the Parking Brake com
commands
mands the propulsion
system to go to the REST mode of operation, provided that all necessary truck operating conditions are met, such as
truck stopped. Use the REST mode indicating light and the capacitor charged lights on the main control cabinet to
confirm that the REST mode has been successfully achieved after command.

The following are the major reasons for commanding the propulsion system to REST mode:

To bring the GE OHV AC propulsion system out of REST,REST, release the Parking Brake. Provided that truck operating
conditions are met, there will be a period of time while the propulsion system energizes the DC link and gets ready for
either accelerating and/or retarding mode truck operation.

Default Configuration Files and Descriptions.

NOTE: Files that do not apply to 150 Ton


Ton vehicles are shaded.
One OEM configuration file should be created by the GE Product Service representative or the OEM representa-
tive for each truck type at the mine location. The GE base configuration files in T
TABLE
ABLE 1 should be used. The OEM
files should then be used to create an individual truck configuration file for each truck.

For example, if a mine location contained AC trucks of the following types:

The following circuit continuity and resistance checks and adjustments should be performed prior to energizing the
AC OHV propulsion system equipment. These procedures require the use of a volt–ohmmeter (VOM) that is set for
resistance measurements.

WARNING: Electric shock can cause serious or fatal injury


injury.. To avoid such injury, personnel should take 
and observe proper precautions when making system adjustment or performing system or component 
electrical tests. For resistance checks, this should include, bu
butt not be limited to, ensuring that all equip-

The Statistical Data Collector uses Parameter Counters and Parameter Profiles to record operating condi-
tions for various occurrences on the truck.

To make data most useful, there are four counters for every Statistical Counter and five for every Statistical Profile.
These counts are named by the method used to reset the count to zero. For the counter, there is a lifetime count,
LCount , which is associated with its date, LCount Start. There are also three other counters, Last Qtr, This Qtr, and
This Day.

A parameter is a defined occurrence. Each parameter has an identificati


identification
on number called Par #, and a short name
called Description. Each parameter is an occurrence that is counted
counted in some unit such as hours or the number of
times the conditions have been correct to declare that the occurrence happened.

The units in which the counters count are listed under Units  in TABLE 3, Statistical Data Codes – Counters
(located in this section).   TABLE 3 also contains an additional explanation of the conditions that define a statistical
parameter as having occurred in the column titled Count Conditions.

There are two types of parameters: Counters  (TABLE 3) and Profiles  (TABL
TABLE E 4, Statistical Data Codes – Pro-
files, located in this section). The profile parameters have one more characteristic, Counter Range, identified by
Profile Number, which segments the possible range of values into a maximum of 17 ranges of values. The number or
count within a particular Counter Range or
 or Profile Number is the time that the parameter had a value that was within
that range.

When examining the number of counts for a parameter, it is often useful to know over what period of time the counts
occurred. To aid in determining how long it took to get a certain number of counts for a Statistical Data Coun
Counter
ter param-
eter, the Statistical Data is presented in the form of four counters.

The first counter, LCount , indicates how many counts have occurred since the LCount Start date. This is in-
tended to be a lifetime counter. It can be reset to zero by a privileged user, and the LCount Start will automatically be

set to the date on the CPU


C PU board when the user performed the reset.
The second counter, Last Qtr is just the total number of counts for the parameter over the last–fiscal–quarter, also
known as the last–three–months.
last–three–months. This counter has the same value in it all quarter long. At midnight on a quarter
change, this counter is overwritten by the “This Qtr” value as this–quarter becomes last–quarter.

The third counter, This Qtr, keeps a moment by moment count of occurrences of the parameter. The counts are
not reset to zero until midnight of the next quarter.

The fourth counter, Last Mnth, keeps a moment by moment count of occurrences of the parameter over the last
month.
mon th. This counter has the same value in it all month long. At midnight on a month change, this counter is overwritten
overwr itten
by the This Mnth value as this–month becomes last–month.

The fifth counter, This Mnth, keeps a moment by moment count of occurrences of the parameter just as This Qtr,
except the This Mnth count is reset to zero at midnight of the next month.

The sixth counter,


counter, Yesterday, keeps a moment by moment count of occurrences of the parameter over the pre-
vious day. This counter has the same value in it all day long. At midnight, this counter is overwritten by the This Day

The seventh counter, This Day, keeps a moment by moment count of occurrences of the parameter just as This

If the GE control panel is shut off before midnight, any necessary resetting of counters is done when the panel next
powers up after midnight.

8. DIAGNOS
DIAGNOSTIC
TIC INFORMATION DISPLAY (DID) PANEL

The DID panel (17FM558) indicates the operating condition of the truck and is a primary troubleshooting aid for
maintenance and service personnel.

The AC OHV propulsion system utilizes the message lines and the function keys on the DID panel (Fig. 61). The
message lines provide propulsion system operating information, test status information, and function key label in-
formati on, depending upon the DID panel’s
formation, panel’s mode of display
display.. The function k

ing upon the DID panel’s mode of display.

8.1. MODES DISPLAY

This is the Normal  display when there are no active faults and no AC OHV propulsion system tests have been
commanded through the DID panel (Fig. 62).

The display will indicate one of the following modes of operation:

1. REST – The Parking Brake is applied and both the AC OHV propulsion system and the truck are in the appropri-
ate condition for the REST mode to be active.

2. TEST  – The AC OHV propulsion system is in a self–test mode of operation.

3. READY – The AC OHV propulsion system is ready for powering.

4. PROPEL  – The AC OHV propulsion system is powered up and the Direction Selector switch is either in FOR-
WARD or REVERSE.

5. RETARD – The AC OHV propulsion system is powered up and retard effort is commanded either from the
retard pedal or retard speed control.

When welding on trucks equipped with GE control panels, connect the welder’s ground cable such that welding
current does not flow through the truck’s control
control wires or cables. This ground connection should be made directly to (or

Extreme care should also be taken to prevent electrical current from passing through bearings in the alternator or
motorized wheel motors as this will result in bearing damage and premature bearing failure.

When the DC link capacitance test is run, the AC OHV propulsion system commands the DC link to be charged to
operating level and then it monitors its decay rate from that level. This decay rate is then used to calculate the amount
of DC link capacitance.

The DC link capacitance test can be monitored and its results viewed on a w PTU

accessed as follows:

Often, 17FB144 and 17FB147 boards used in 150 ton OHV propulsion systems have no defects found when re-
turned to the factory for unit exchange (UX) repair. It is believed that most of the perceived defects are the result of
problems communicating to the boards with the PTU, combined with a misunderstanding of the light patterns seen on
the bottom edge of the card. This section provides a definition of the light patterns on the card bottom edge and de-
