Legacy GE and Replacement (TMOS)
View our HMI TMOS Line Card
Using original operator interfaces running on outdated, discontinued equipment and unsupported operating systems dramatically reduces reliability and increases maintenance costs. Limited hard drive space, inadequate diagnostic functions, archaic or proprietary communication protocols and difficult/complex procedures for basic changes are just some of the issues that add to the difficulty of working with these original systems. NERC cybersecurity compliance is also not possible with older operating systems and human machine interfaces because security updates are no longer supported.
TMOS Human Machine Interface - Maximum Performance / Minimal Hassle
Turbine Monitoring System (TMOS) is a replacement Human Machine Interface (HMI) for existing and new turbine operator interface systems, and can also be used on the balance of plant (BOP) control system interfaces for most gas and steam turbine applications. Designed to provide ease of operation and flexibility, TMOS provides robust reliability on modern off the shelf hardware.
In the case of GE <I> or Cimplicity <HMI> operator interface systems, the TMOS provides a simple and quick “plug and play” replacement for single unit systems and can be used to dramatically simplify multi-unit systems while bringing complete operator interface system redundancy. TMOS allows for the migration of the existing screens from the original system, allowing the operator to use familiar screens on TMOS. The operators can then learn the additional new TMOS graphical displays which are also provided at their own pace.
Installation of TMOS DOES NOT require a Mark V firmware (PROM) upgrade OR a gas turbine outage. All the functions previously performed on the old machine interfaces are available on the TMOS with significant new features provided.
Features include:
- Improved and user-friendly interface. Fast access to instrument or tag related documents directly from an animated display.
- Drag-and-drop signals from animated display to graphical display (TrendViewer) for easy and fast trends set up.
- Multiple animated displays can be viewed simultaneously.
- Direct access to Mark V ladder logic with powerful search capabilities.
- Mark V signals, Alarms, Diagnostics, Events and SOE historian function is standard in the base offering. Important data can be recalled at any time.
- Connection and integration with other turbine monitoring systems is supported by the TMOS system. Supported systems include those using Modbus Master and Slave, OPC DA 3.0 and AE server.
- TMOS is <C> core friendly and DOES NOTload up the Mark V communication core like the Cimplicity <HMI> system does. A single TMOS SCADA server can be linked up to 16 <C> processors without any significant impact on the speed of data transfer and update.
- The standard TrendViewer graphical package is used to trend and analyze both historical and real-time analog and digital data. It can export charts to other data formats such as XML, CSV and Excel. Alarms and events viewer is integrated in this tool also so that users can cross analyze stored process values at the exact time stamp when an alarm or event occurs.
- Mark V software or I/O changes can be automatically applied to TMOS SCADA just by updating the specific files, no project recompilation is required.
TMOS can be installed in parallel with an existing <I> or <HMI>, allowing operational and maintenance personnel time to get accustomed to the TMOS screens and capabilities.
TTS can set up a remote demonstration of the TMOS HMI system to allow for a more complete understanding of its features and capabilities. Please call us to set this up.
Please Note: TTS is the exclusive distributor and technical partner for TMOS HMI in the Americas. We have installed TMOS in many facilities here in the US and Caribbean, and there are hundreds of installations of TMOS outside of the North American region where it known as TMOS SCADA.
Ever since TMOS was introduced to the market, the design team has never stopped developing and adding improvements, new interface possibilities and advanced features. Today, TMOS is a feature-packed, user friendly, robust and multi-connective system.
