TrainView2 is software that displays operational data from turbomachinery to help operators monitor performance. It shows trends, alarms, control screens and operating maps to depict current conditions relative to design limits. It also replays archived data to diagnose issues. The software runs on client PCs connected to servers hosting process data and can generate automated or on-demand reports. It has security, multi-language support and export functions to share data remotely.

Two of the challenges associated with turbocompressors and
U turbines are providing ways to effectively represent their current operation relative to various design limits and record and replay the high-fidelity data needed to diagnose trips, upsets and other PID critical events.

RAM
The TrainTools TrainView2 (TV2) HMI program and web client
are specifically designed to meet those challenges by displaying a collection of interactive TV Pictures that can include: • trend graphs that plot current or replay recorded OPC data, • scrollable lists of current alarms and recorded events, • operating maps that display compressor and gas turbine conditions relative to various performance limitations, • dynamic process drawings for monitoring the operation of turbomachinery trains, • interactive controller faceplates for operating control loops, • tabular lists of controller field inputs and outputs, and • interface navigation bars. Those TV pictures are continuously updated to reflect current process conditions, as reported by OPC/DA, alarm and event, and archival data server programs running on the same or other
