1. Resume


We define hereafter :
Common action to do systematically each morning on site, and again when
problem occurs
Troubles classification
Actions to do in each case

2. Daily action
The daily control has for aim to track any Station BUS fault.

2.1) Check at OI Yes [ ] No [ ]
2.1.1) Check State viewer /Scs (System) C264/OI connection status Yes [ ] No [ ]
2.1.2) Check Event viewer/Scs if disconnection/reconnection
happened
Yes [ ] No [ ]
2.1.3) Check quickly status display in mimic views Yes [ ] No [ ]
2.1.4) Check Synchronisation symbol * (loss of master clock) Yes [ ] No [ ]

This allows to know if there is sometime full disconnection, possibly refresh error on
OI.

2.2) Check at OI Self-Healing Yes [ ] No [ ]
2.2.1) Check State viewer /Site (Electric) for each C264 the 2 SPS of
Self-Healing (make global filter on configured module name)
Yes [ ] No [ ]
2.2.2) Check Event viewer /Site (Electric) for each External switch
(H35x, H15x) the 2 SPS of Self-Healing
Yes [ ] No [ ]

This allows to know if sometime self healing on SWR and H35 appears (then
ethernet reconfiguration, possible instability)

2.3) Check CPU temperature with CMT (IRIG-B module) Yes [ ] No [ ]
2.3.1) The Master Clock C264 has an IRIG B module that gives its
temperature (CMT/Synchronisation).
Yes [ ] No [ ]

2.4) Clean traces and restart Yes [ ] No [ ]
2.4.1) DBWIN32, Agency log, SCADA2000 Yes [ ] No [ ]

This allows to restart error logging in relevant files.

3. Investigation action
The daily control has for aim to track any Station BUS fault.

3.1) OI traces saving Yes [ ] No [ ]
3.1.1) Program files/PACIS/UCA2Agency/exe/DBWIN.txt (press F1
inside dbwin32 to get this file)
Yes [ ] No [ ]
3.1.2) Program files/PACIS/UCA2Agency/exe /agency.log Yes [ ] No [ ]
3.1.3) Temp/traces/SCADAxxxxx Yes [ ] No [ ]
3.1.4) Program files/PACIS/OI/OISERVER/UCA2Coupling/ Yes [ ] No [ ]

3.2) C264 traces saving Yes [ ] No [ ]
3.2.1) CMT/Errors/SYSTRAP Yes [ ] No [ ]
3.2.2) CMT/Event Log/Get Event Log Storage Yes [ ] No [ ]

One can add SMT traces but better not to start it.

4. Ethernet Troubles categories

4.1) C264 serial hyperterminal working Yes [ ] No [ ]
4.1.1) Check prompt is available Yes [ ] No [ ]
4.1.2) Type bootChange, press enter until the end and check after
C264 answer that Ethernet interface is correctly defined between
RJ45 and Fibre Optic
Yes [ ] No [ ]

4.2) C264 Ethernet (cross cable) Yes [ ] No [ ]
4.2.1) Ping PC Yes [ ] No [ ]
4.2.2) CMT/Search Computer Yes [ ] No [ ]

4.3) SWR Ethernet copper Yes [ ] No [ ]
4.3.1) Ping on copper port of Ethernet Yes [ ] No [ ]
Possibly check the 6 Led, on SWR after front panel removing

4.4) Optical Ethernet Yes [ ] No [ ]
4.4.1) Ping from one PC to C264 (connect PC to RJ45 connection of
one SWR and ping one C264 on the loop and check no loss is
observed)
Yes [ ] No [ ]
4.4.2) CMT to all C264 (search and count) Yes [ ] No [ ]
4.4.3) CMT C264 list is stable? Yes [ ] No [ ]

4.5) Agency from PC Yes [ ] No [ ]
4.5.1) DBWin32 traces shows correct subscription (send traces) Yes [ ] No [ ]
4.5.2) Agency log traces for R&D Yes [ ] No [ ]
4.5.3) Look into registry if there are some Inactivated Reports (search Yes [ ] No [ ]

the key named Inactivated)

4.6) SMT Kernel on PC not OI server Yes [ ] No [ ]
4.6.1) System devices connected Yes [ ] No [ ]
