1.11 PGC1000 Start-Up Diagnostics

The ABB Totalflow PGC1000 has an extensive, built-in list of tests which are
performed each time the unit is started. This startup. testing may be disabled, but
it is recommended that it be left enabled. These diagnostics consist of four areas
of testing:




These startup tests may also be performed on a regular schedule. Please see the
PCCU help files for more information on scheduling diagnostics.

1.11.1 Carrier Pressure Regulator Tests

This test compares the actual column pressure to the column pressure set point
using carrier gas. A failure of this test indicates that the carrier pressure is not
meeting or over exceeding the expected level of pressure.

1.11.2 Oven Temperature Test

This test compares the actual oven temperature to the oven temperature set point.
A failure of this test indicates that the oven is not maintaining the required
temperature.

1.11.3 Processor Control Test

This test contains three test areas: column 1 carrier pressure, column 2 carrier
pressure and oven temperature. In each area, the test measures the effort
required to maintain the required value. From those measurements, the test
develops a standard deviation and makes a series of comparisons. The failure of
any of these comparisons indicates that an erratic deviation exists. This means
that the processor is not able to control the function.

1.11.4 Stream Test

This test measures various pressures for each available stream. Failure of a
stream indicates an inability to meet certain criteria.
