I still have a lot I have been wanting to blog about, but our plant is finishing up a two week turn around and we have just about got the new DCS installed. I have been working 12 and 14 hour days this week to keep the install on schedule, and will probably have to work this weekend, but then we will be done with this phase. We started making black again on Unit 3 today, so that was a big milestone. Once unit 4 is up and running everything will be done, except for dressing up the graphics, I hope.
One note for anyone installing a Siemens APACS system or the new PCS 7 system with IEM's, make sure you test points on both systems in a redundant system. This will make sure that similar modules are going to similar marshalling strips. Otherwise if the cables aren't going to the right spot and the system switches you could have a catastrophic failure. We didn't, but you could.
Got a give a shout out to God, for giving me strength and helping to keep everything going well. I just pray that the last couple of days go well, because this whole time everything we do takes an extra 20 to 30 minutes, even on loops that are checking out.
Oh well, that will do for tonight. 3 more days. 3 more days.
