This incident occurs anytime when the reconfiguration rate on Network 0 is greater
than or equal to 1 per second and less than 15 per second.
This incident will clear when the reconfiguration rate has been less than or equal
to 1 per 15 minutes for 2 consecutive hours.

next scheduled service shop.
Make sure all the ARCNet connectors are secure.
Cycle BCCB/MTB/FPB.
Check all panels for compatible panel version.
TROUBLESHOOTING BAD PANELS
To determine or eliminate if a panel is the source of the reconfigurations, there
are two methods. One or both may be required.
- Turning power off to that panel: Turn off power to panels one-by-one. This
eliminates the node from the network, but the network still uses the network traces
on
the card to complete the bus configuration.
- Bypassing the panel by connecting its ARCNet network cables together:
This involves connecting the cables that normally go into the panel directly
together. This will completely isolate the panel from the ARCNet, allowing one to
fully
eliminate the panel from suspicion if recons continue to climb.
TROUBLESHOOTING BAD CABLES
To determine if the failure is within one of the network cables, you will need to
use shorting plugs or terminating plugs to create a smaller network, and then bring
each cable back into the network.
- NOTE: To do this step, you need a shorting/terminating plug that is not readily
available.
- Connect all the network cables together leaving just 3 panels in the loop,
placing a shorting plug or a terminating plug at CIO-WB on the CIO Panel.
- Gradually, move the terminator from the last panel. Keep adding cables back into
the loop until recons start to climb.
- Note that when disconnecting cables, both networks will be disrupted and comm
loss incidents will log for all panels.

and Network 1 reconfig's are not increasing, and verify that X's are present for
the
BCA Panel on both networks. If it is not on the network, this column will be blank.
If the network is healthy, release the loco for service.
4. If the panel has still not returned to the network, verify that all network and
power cables are connected and seated properly. If a cable isn't properly
connected,
re-seat it and verify that the panel has returned to the network per Network
Monitor screen.
5. If cables are intact, shut off BCCB. Open BCA panel. Examine the LED's on the
CPU card (Slot24) card.
6. If both LED's are red, the CPU card is in a continuous reset state and is not
receiving enough volts. Use fault isolation in step 8 to troubleshoot.
7. If one LED is lit, the CPU card is booted and running the CPU card (Slot 24) or
BCA backplane is suspected as the fault. Replace the CPU card. If fault is not
removed, replace the ARCnet card. If fault remains, replace the BCA Panel.
8. If both LED's are not lit, either the BCA is not receiving power or the CPU card
is defective.
Verify that Remote Sense Power Supply cables are connected and seated properly
between the BCA and LPS. Measure the +5V voltage at the LPS. It should be
greater than 5V. If it is not greater than 5V, the Remote Sense Power wiring is
defective. Troubleshoot per schematic. If no trouble is found, replace the LPS.
Verify that the CIO Power Supply cables are connected and seated properly between
the CIO and LPS. Remove connector G. Measure the +5V input power
between pin 5 and pin 10. If the voltage is not present, replace the LPS.
9. If voltage is present at the panel connectors, and incident is still active,
replace the CPU card. If fault remains, replace the BCA Panel.

Loss Of Communications With BCCA While Running


The purpose of this incident is to inform the maintainer that the system controller
(SDIS) lostmmunication with the BCA Panel.
This incident occurs when the control system (SDIS) looses communication with BCA
for 2.5 seconds
This incident is cleared when communication is established between the SDIS and the
BCA Panel.
1) No application software/ incorrect software
2) Defective/loose ARCnet connectors/ cables(s)
3) No power to BCA Panel
4) BCA panel
5) LPS
6) SDIS
1. Check the Loco Config screen. Attempt to download software at least twice. For
more information on software loading, see Software Loading Procedures. If
attempt fails, go to step two. If successful, allow at least 1 minute to see a
software version appear on the Loco Config screen. Verify that the incident is
removed.
Comm loss was due to lack of software in the Slot24 card.
2. If software will not download or incident is not removed, go to the incident log
in the SDIS. Check to see if there are any other network comm. loss incidents
active along with this incident for other panels. If there are, execute Network
Trouble Shooting Guide for fault isolation.
3. If there are no other comm. loss incidents active, cycle BCCB. Go to the
incident log and check if this incident is still active. If the incident is active,
go to step

1. The MU trainlines 6, 17, 8 or 9 are being energized from more than one
locomotive. 2. A wiring error has energized FO, RE, GF, B or KG incorrectly. 3. The
interlocking of the Master Controller has failed allowing the Reverse handle to
throw while the Throttle or Brake handle are not in idle. 4. The Controller panel
(BCA) inputs are correct, but the Controller panel (BCA) FE198/FE102 card or
backplane has failed and has falsely logged this fault. NOTE: THIS FAULT IS
MOST LIKELY INTERMITTENT. THE FAULT WILL PROBABLY NOT BE PRESENT WHEN YOU TRY TO
FIX IT.
1. If a 51-0006 fault has occurred, correct it before working on this fault.
Correcting the 51-0006 fault may also correct this fault.
2. Monitor inputs to Controller panel (BCA) TL8,9 (RE) MP 25049, TL9,8 (FO) MP
25050, TL6 (GF) MP 25048,TL17 (B) MP 25037 and TL21 (KG) MP
25038, using SDIS, by operating Reverser Handle.
3. Inspect MU Connector and cable for damage. If unit was running in a trail
position at the time of fault, simply reset the fault and restore locomotive to
service.
4. Check at Terminal Boards to see if the trainline voltages correspond with the
various modes of operation. If the voltages are incorrect, and MU jumpers are
installed, remove the jumpers. Check again to see if they are correct. Identify any
trainlines with incorrect voltages. Refer to the schematic for detailed wiring of
the trainline circuits. Correct wiring or replace the failed part which is causing
a wrong trainline voltage.
5. If the trainlines are properly energized, reset the fault. Set up the locomotive
to operate in motoring and then in braking. Try to reproduce the fault condition
by moving the reverse handle. If you can make the fault occur, trace the FO, RE,
GF, B, & KG circuits to find out which circuit is the cause. Repair it.
WARNING: DO NOT MOVE THE LOCOMOTIVE BY MISTAKE.
6. If the trainlines are correct, and the computer still logs this fault, check the
FO, RE, GF, B & KG wiring to the Controller panel (BCA).
7. Replace the Controller panel (BCA) FE198/FE102 card in Slot 17 or the whole
Controller panel (BCA) if it still logs this fault and the FO, RE, GF, B & KG
inputs are correctly energized. After replacing the Controller panel (BCA), reapply
power. Be sure that this fault is no longer logged.

Bad Input From EC Switch


Indicate EC Switch is faulty
This fault is logged if the Controller panel (BCA) received input voltages from the
EC Switch
which are invalid (see Table). Each of the four signals that the EC Switch may send
to Controller panel (BCA) represents a switch position ISOLATE, RUN, START, and
JOG. Only one is expected to be high at any given time.
PO Volts must be > 45 for this fault to log.
For the more-than-one-high case, the fault logs immediately after de-bounced inputs
are detected; for the no-high-input case, the fault logs after 60 seconds of
continuous no inputs to avoid nuisance trips.For the no-High-input case, Controller
panel (BCA) passes through the actual debounced input immediately; this will
inhibit any Mode Call since no Mode Call template will be matched.
Throttle returned to Idle and Fault Condition is no longer present.
1. A wiring error has energized a second or de-energized all EC Switch signal
lines. 2. The EC Switch has failed and indicates more than one position. The EC
Switch signals are correct, but the Controller panel (BCA) has failed and has
falsely logged a fault that more than one EC Switch position was indicated.
NOTE: A BAD INPUT FROM THE EC SWITCH MIGHT HAVE BEEN
MOMENTARY. THE FAULT MAY BE GONE WHEN YOU TRY TO FIX IT.
1. Monitor inputs to Controller panel (BCA) RUN (MP 25025), ISOLATE (MP 25024),
START (MP 25026) and JOG (if applicable) using SDIS.
2. Move EC switch to different positions to find out if the Controller panel (BCA)
reads the proper EC Switch input voltages.
3. Reset this fault. If it will not reset, check the EC Switch input voltages to
the Controller panel (BCA). If more than one or no input is energized check the
wiring and/or switch to find the cause. Fix it. If you can reset this fault, try
various positions of the EC switch. If one of the positions causes this fault,
check the
EC Switch inputs to the Controller panel (BCA) for that position. correct wiring or
replace switch. Check voltages at EC and at Controller panel (BCA) per table
below:
1 = more than 40 volts, 0 = less than 25 volts (referenced to EN)
Replace the Controller panel (BCA) if the EC Switch inputs to the Controller panel
(BCA) are correct and the computer still logs this fault. After replacing the
Controller panel (BCA) and reapplying power, verify that this fault is no longer
logged.

1. Check the engine air filters. If they are dirty replace them.
2. If the locomotive was running in an area of heavy snow, the filters could have
been clogged with snow. Then when the
loco reached the shop, this snow could have melted and now function normally. If
this was the case and the loco is equipped with summer/winter doors, be sure
they are in the correct position. Then skip to step 7 and self load the locomotive.
3. Verify wiring to Controller panel (BCA) and that the Controller panel (BCA)
properly reads this input.
4. If this fault reoccurs with clean air filters, check the pressure drop across
the filters. If the pressure drop is less than 14" of water, check the EFPS to make
sure it
is closed. If EFPS is not closed replace the EFPS.
5. If the EFPS is closed, check the wiring associated with the EFPS. Repair any

with your hand or foot may not satisfy the position feedback.
b. If the contactor is positively picked up, check with a voltmeter whether the
position feedback interlock has closed and whether there is 74 volts to one side of
the
position sensor. If it has not closed, adjust the position feedback per Maintenance
Instructions. If no 74V troubleshoot wiring.
c. If the position feedback is OK, check wiring from the position feedback to the
appropriate Controller panel (BCA) connector pin input.
d. If feedback signal is NOT OK to the connector, troubleshoot wiring. Make sure
there is 74V to the position sensor.
e. If feedback wiring to Controller panel (BCA) is OK, replace the corresponding
FE102/FE198 input card.
f. If FE102/FE198 replacement does not work, change the Controller panel (BCA) as

This fault is logged during Self Test after 4.0 seconds if Controller panel (BCA)
does not get expected
feedback via Power Contactor-5 (P5).
Fault Condition is no longer present
1. Faulty contactor coil or wiring to coil.
2. Faulty contactor position feedback or wiring from feedback.
3. If this contactor requires air pressure, lack of air pressure.
4. Faulty FE101/FE187 driver card in Controller panel (BCA).
5. Faulty FE102/FE198 input card in Controller panel (BCA).
6. Faulty Controller panel (BCA).
1. Run Selftest for this contactor.
2. Watch the contactor as see if it actually picks up (energizes).
3. If it does NOT pick up, check wiring from the corresponding Controller panel
(BCA) connector pin to the contactor coil.
a. Verify that the Common (N wire) from the Controller panel (BCA) is connected.
b. Verify that there is battery volts to the high-side of the contactor coil when
trying to energize it.
c. Determine which driver common this contactor utilizes and verify that the
corresponding FE101/FE187 gate drive feed wire is connected:
A13 74 Vdc Pstv EP/BCCB+ (IPS)
B13 BCCB + (IPS)
B19 74 Vdc Pstv required for LCN drivers

with your hand or foot may not satisfy the position feedback.
b. If the contactor is positively picked up, check with a voltmeter whether the
position feedback interlock has closed and whether there is 74 volts to one side of
the
position sensor. If it has not closed, adjust the position feedback per Maintenance
Instructions. If no 74V troubleshoot wiring.
c. If the position feedback is OK, check wiring from the position feedback to the

TM Plug Attempted At Too High Speed


Indicate plug speed is going above locomotive speed
This fault is logged if - Locomotive speed is above the plug speed -AND- Operator
is motoring in a direction opposite to the direction of motion.
(Direction call has changed.)
Fault Condition is no longer present.Automatic once speed is below Plug Speed limit
hysteresis.
1. Operator plugged the locomotive. Operator induce fault. 2. Controller panel
(BCA) has failed in speed calculation. 3. Controller panel (BCA) or Reverser
feedback has failed. 4. Controller panel (BCA) has failed.
1. Check that the Plug Speed limit is correct using the MP 27478 (requires Level 3
access)
2. Open Incident log using SDIS to check that this fault is really logged. If not,
it was reported by mistake. Check the Data Pack for the speed at which the fault
occurred. You can do this by downloading and viewing the fault log. Check for other
faults at the same time that would suggest Reverser or Speed sensor failure.
Continue with step 2 if you are sure the operator did not plug the locomotive.
3. Look at Monitor Parameters 25524 [locomotive speed] and 25525 through 25530
[individual motor speeds]. With the locomotive stopped, all should read zero.
If not, change FE114 card slot 23 or Controller panel (BCA).
4. Run self tests 606 and 609 several times to be sure Reverser feedback to
Controller panel (BCA) is working. This may result in changing appropriate
FE198/FE102 card or Controller panel (BCA) if Reverser position feedback is
actually ok.
5. Reset the fault. If it repeats, and actual plugging did not cause it, change
Controller panel (BCA).

a. Exciter Field F1-F2 connectione.
b. FE160 card short circuit 4. Traction Alternator Field
Problem5. Operator error caused rapid contactor opening6. Controller panel (BCA)

1. Unless you know the fault occurred during Motoring or Self Load, inspect the B1
(or S36), REV, and BKT power tips for conditions that can cause high
resistance during dynamic brake operation. Correct any defects found. If the fault
occurred in Dynamic Braking, run Exciter Field Test as outlined below.
2. Verify wiring from SCM to the Controller panel (BCA). For GA - GN voltage, wire
from SCM 1-7 to Controller panel (BCA)-E12.
3. Run the engine with the Throttle in IDLE. Monitor Parameter 25409 [Main
Generator voltage]
4. Verify that the voltage is reading a low value [0 to 10 volts.]. If a higher
voltage is displayed,
a. Use a meter to verify the (GA to GN) voltage at the input of SCM. Measure from
wire into SCM3-2 (+) to GN (-). (SCM8, GA to GN).
CAUTION! THIS IS A HIGH VOLTAGE CIRCUIT!
b. If the voltage actually measured is 0 --ie. a low value-- then either the
Controller panel (BCA) or SCM (SCM8) is bad.
c. Use a meter to measure the output voltage of SCM at wire from SCM 1-7 & SCM 1-1
panel Common. The SCM output should be 1/204.8 X Rectifier output
voltage. That is, 1 volt out of SCM represents 204.8 volts between GA and GN.
- If this condition is not met, replace the SCM Panel.
- If this condition is met, replace either the FE108 or the Controller panel (BCA).
d. If GA to GN voltage measured with your meter is the same as Monitor Parameter
25409, go to step 8.
8. Reset this fault, and operate the locomotive in Self Load - Open Circuit or on
the Load Box Open Circuit (you can trick the locomotive into Open circuit by
insulating the P and S contactor tips and going into Motoring)
CAUTION! Follow established procedures for operating the locomotive in Self Load -
Without Grids (Open Circuit).
a. Observe voltage as a function of notch. Steady state voltages in Monitor
Parameter 25409 should be equal to Reference voltage in Monitor Parameter 25410.
b. If voltages are correct, go to step 9.
c. If this 51-0055fault is logged, or if the voltages are incorrect, or if the
engine does not load properly, proceed to the following steps.
1) Observe Monitor Parameter 25413 Main Generator Field Current.
2) Repeat Open Circuit and watch the field current (MP 25413).
b) If current is observed, and the voltage was too high, then the Controller panel
(BCA).
c) If no current is observed, and the voltage was too low, then check for insulated
power tips on GF. If no problems are found, the Controller panel (BCA) is
bad.
9. Set up for Self load-Loaded operation or Load Box with Grids. Operate the
locomotive in the various notches and observe the output voltage.
a. If voltages seen in MP25409 Actual are below the values in MP25410 Reference,
(step 8a. above) go to step 10. [dynamic brake operation.]
b. If the voltages are not correct, or if there is engine hunting or load control
pot action, or the engine does not appear to be loading - Take the following steps.
1) Observe Monitor Parameter 25411 - Main Generator Current.
2) If Main Generator Current is zero, there is a problem with the CS1/CT1 to
CS6/CT6 inputs to Controller panel (BCA). Check wiring from CS1..6 to SCM
(SCM1...6) to Controller panel (BCA).
3) If Main Generator Current is not zero, the Controller panel (BCA) Card(s) or
Panel is bad.
10. Set up locomotive for dynamic brake.
CAUTION! Follow established procedures for operating the locomotive in dynamic
brake.
a. Operate the locomotive in dynamic brake. Monitor Parameter 25409 [Main Generator
Voltage]. Move the Brake Handle from MIN to MAX. Voltage should
increase from 0 to less than 80 V.
1) If voltage does not follow the brake handle movement, check TL17 (MP 25037) and
TL21 (MP 25038), troubleshoot any problems found.
2) If the engine bogs, or if a fault is logged, the problem is in CS7, SCM
(SCM7)/CT7, or associated wiring, or Controller panel (BCA).
NOTE: CS7 and SCM7 (channel 7) are usually the shunt and channel used to measure
field current, but are herein used generically, see electrical schematic
Block Diagram section to determine which shunt actually reads the field current.
a) Monitor Parameter 25446 Dyn. Brk. TM Field. Try to operate in dynamic brake
again.
1) If field current [Monitor Parameter 25446] follows the brake handle, SCM (SCM7)
and its input to Controller panel (BCA) is functioning normally. If
Fault 51-0055 (High volts) is logged, then problem exists in the Controller panel
(BCA).
2) If there is no field current [Monitor Parameter 25446], then one of the
following is the problem a) There is an open in the traction motor field circuit
when set up for dynamic brake. Carefully check B1 (or S36), REV, BKT, all traction
motor field, and
associated power wiring for an open circuit. Fault 51-0264 (no Field Amps) may log.
b) The CS7 circuit wiring is faulty to SCM or from SCM to Controller panel (BCA).
Carefully check wires from CS7 to SCM (SCM7)
- and wires from SCM (for CS7) to the Controller panel (BCA). Fix any problems
found.
c) The Controller panel (BCA) circuit for CS7 is bad. Use a single D cell or other
isolated low voltage source to apply [1 to 2 volts ] across the CS7 input to
Controller panel (BCA) [1 V = 204 amps ].
- If Monitor Parameter 25446 shows a proper response, CS7 circuit in Controller
panel (BCA) is OK
- If no input is seen on Parameter 25446, replace FE108 card and try again. If
still no response, replace Controller panel (BCA).
d) SCM (SCM7) is bad. Open wires at CS7 that go to SCM and inject a low signal [<
50 mv] across input terminals of SCM. If Parameter 25446 shows no
input, replace SCM (SCM7).
Exciter Field Connection Checkout Procedure:

Operator Message
Alarm Bell
1. Past history has shown that the Exciter Field F1-F2 connection can sometimes be
connected backwards after an engine overhaul where the exciter is
disconnected and removed. The bootmarkers or wire labels are sometimes worn-away or
difficult top distinguish over many years. This misconnection will have no
detrimental effect in Motor or Self Load, but in Dynamic Braking at high speed
there can be uncontrolled operation. The Controller panel (BCA) will actually turn
off the FE160 card output through the field as it tries to regulate Grid Amps, but
since the F1-F2 connection is backwards, it cannot actually turn-off the Exciter
with the help of the Start Winding (K1-K2) and EFR2 resistor. So there is somewhat
of a run-away, self-excited operation that may result in grid overcurrent or
alternator overvoltage.
2. To verify the Exciter Field F1-F2 connection:
3. Connect a voltmeter (+) to Exciter output A2 (sometimes conveniently attached to
GS- contactor braided shunt) and voltmeter (-) to any N wire (also can be
found at GS +/- contactors).
4. Voltmeter should read battery level or charging volts (74 volts for example)
5. Blocks wheels or apply brakes, ensuring locomotive cannot move and setup for
Motoring N1 OR set up for Self Load.
6. Throttle to N1. The voltmeter voltage should increase. If it decreases, then the
F1-F2 Field is connected backwards. Correct this problems and repeat this step.
3. No Dynamic Brake Or Motoring

Flash over occurred.
1. Examine fault log. If 51-0289 TA Field Module EXAM Bad faults are present,
troubleshoot them first.
Open Incident Log in SDIS to examine the faults on traction motor over current.
If faults 51-0071...51-0076 occurred at or near to the same time as this fault,
then consider the appropriate traction motor circuit to have experienced a flash
over.
2. Inspect all traction motors and power wiring out of the traction alternator for
any indication of flash over.
3. Check that wiring and connectors between EXAM/EXACT and the Controller panel
(BCA) are intact and not damaged. Disconnect and examine the connector
(Connector E on the Controller panel (BCA)) for pin damage. Repair if necessary.
Check wires for continuity between EXAM/EXACT and Controller panel
(BCA).
4. Check the Traction Alternator Field Circuit for shorts or grounded fields.
Repair if needed.
5. Check the Incident log on SDIS for SCM8 fault 51-0295 If it occurred at or near
to the same time as the 51-0057 fault, then trouble-shoot fault 51-0295 first.
6. Reset the fault and set up the locomotive for operation in Self Load - Open
Circuit.
CAUTION! Observe proper safety procedures when energizing the traction alternator!
a. Operate the locomotive in Self Load-Open Circuit.
b. Observe voltage as a function of notch.
Observe Monitor Parameters - 25409 [Main Generator Volts]. Use a DC Voltmeter to
measure the system voltage ( GA - GN ). If the measured and observed
voltage reading agree, SCM (SCM8) and the associated input into the Controller
panel (BCA) are not the problem.
c. Observe Monitor Parameter 25413 - Traction Alternator Field Current Use a DC
clamp-on Ammeter to measure the current in the traction alternator field
circuit at the output of the Exciter or near GF contactor. If the measured and
observed currents are not equal, problems exist in either the Controller panel
(BCA)
FE108 card, EXAM module/EXACT, or EXASH shunt, or wiring. Troubleshoot one at a
time until the defect is identified.
7. Setup and operate the locomotive in Self Load - Loaded
a. If the 51-0057 fault repeats,
1) Look for problems in Traction Alternator, braking grids, TM fields, or LBS, REV,
or BKT power tips.
8. Setup and operate the locomotive in Dynamic-Brake. [at standstill]
a. If the E039 fault repeats
1) Check polarity on SCM (SCM7)/CT7 output.
2) Look for errors in B1, BKT, REV power tips.
9. If you still haven't found the problem, monitor the main alternator field
current [Monitor Parameter 25413] while track testing the locomotive. If you see
that
this current is erratic, problems exist in either the Controller panel (BCA), or

2. If fault 51-0248 or 51-0249 Aux Gen Field Circuit Shorted is present in the
incident log, troubleshoot it first.
3. Clear fault 51-0058.
4. Check whether there is indeed an over-current condition or a bad feedback:
Connect an ammeter (should be OK with a regular 10A meter, if it is really high,
you'll just blow the fuse in the meter) in series with the Aux Gen Field so you
can measure the actual field amps and then see if the amps are really high or if
the AGFSH/AGFM that reports the current has a problem.
5. Watch Monitor Parameter 26008 Aux Gen Field Current. Once meter is ready, turn
on ECB breaker and Controller panel (BCA) should try to charge. Compare
what the meter reads versus what MP26008 reads. If they agree, then problem is
indeed in the Aux Gen.
If they disagree, like actual is low, but MP26008 is high, then troubleshoot AGFSH

Procedure to check if Current Shunt (CS) is used
1. Engine running or shutdown, Throttle in Idle.
2. View EXAM output Voltage which is input to FE108 card. This signal is then
converted into amps and shown in MP 25413 Main Generator Field Amps.
3. In Idle the EXAM voltage and amps (MP 25413) should be 0. If MP 25413 > 40, then
that is a sign that the EXAM has probably failed. Check the voltage
output from the EXAM on EXAM-F to EXAM-D.
a. If the measured voltage is 0 but MP 25413 shows amps, then either the wiring
from EXAM-F and EXAM-D to Controller panel (BCA)-E19 and Controller
panel (BCA)-E14, respectively, is bad, or the FE108 card inside Controller panel
(BCA) is bad, or the Controller panel (BCA) backplane is bad. Troubleshoot in

4. If signal integrity is confirmed from EXAM output and amps still present, then
with a Voltmeter check the voltage from the EXASH shunt which should be 0
volts.
a. If volts = 0 mV, then replace EXAM as it is incorrectly converting a 0 mV input
into a > 0V output.
b. If volts > 5mV, this would ultimately get converted to > 40 amps and log the
fault. If > 5mV check shunt check that there is indeed no current flowing in the TA

High TM Field Amps In Braking


Indicate TM field current during braking is high
This fault is logged when measured traction motor field current exceeds:
- 1740 amps for 752 motors
- 900 amps for 761 motors or BHEL TM4907 motor
- 600 amps for any ED118 motor
- 700 amps for 764C3 motor
Instantaneously.
Throttle returned to Idle and fault condition no longer
present
1. Faulty or intermittent Signal Conditioning Module SCM7/CT7.
2. Problems in reading the Brake Handle Position.
3. Problems with the Controller panel (BCA)
a. Intermittent or faulty wiring
b. Failed FE160 card.
c. Problems in reading the Current Measuring Module SCM7/CT7.
Procedure to check if Current Shunt (CS) is used
1. Determine which Shunt Configuration option is set on this locomotive.
current_dash8 1.000 (Indonesia and most locomotives)
current_rec 1.000 (BC Rail, India)
current_carl 1.000 (HLCX, MRS 3801-3809, Estonia C30)
One of these should equal 1.000. This signifies the shunt configuration on the
locomotive. Most locomotives have a dedicated shunt CS7 and scm module SCM7;
but “current_carl” option locomotives use CS4 and SCM4 channel to measure Field
Amps.
2. Also determine which kind of SCM panel the shunt feeds. That is, the shunt
feedback wires either go to a 17FM700-type SCM panel or smaller 17FM394-type
scm panel.
1. Check the Current Measuring Module SCM and its connections to shunt and
Controller panel (BCA).
a. Open Incident Log on the SDIS to examine the faults 51-0099 (FM700-type SCM4),
51-0243 (FM700-type SCM7), or 51-0332 (FM394-type SCM7).
If this from Field Shunt CS to SCM. Check wires from SCM to Controller panel (BCA).
c. Check the shunt circuit in the SCM module (SCM7) [Note! 1500 amps in shunt CS =
50 millivolts out. (752 motors).
1000 amps in shunt CS = 50 millivolts out. (761, India, Russia motors).]
Gain from input to output of the 17FM-700 SCM Module is approximately 146.
Controller panel (BCA) scaling is: 10 volts in = 2048 amperes (752 motors).
10 volts in = 1365 amperes (761, India, Russia motors).]
Gain from input to output of the 17FM-394 SCM Module is approximately 100.
Controller panel (BCA) scaling is: 10 volts in = 2990 amperes (752 motors).
10 volts in = 1992 amperes (761, India, Russia motors).]
2. With locomotive in IDLE, use the SDIS to Monitor Parameter 25446 [Dyn. Brk. TM
Field].
1) If displayed value is more than 90 amps, Measure DC voltage on SCM input from
Shunt with a DC voltmeter.

a. EC Switch to Isolate (to prevent Alternator output).
1) Move Brake Handle to MIN Brake. Brake Control [25445] should read less than 10%.
2) Move Brake Handle to MAX Brake. Brake Control [25445] should read more than 90%.
If Brake Control does not respond as in 1) and 2) above a) Check Brake Control Pot
and its input to the Controller panel (BCA). Fix the problem and repeat tests 1)
and 2).
b) If the Brake Control Pot input to Controller panel (BCA) is ok, and Brake
Control does not respond as in 1) and 2) replace the FE137 card in Controller
panel (BCA).
b. If Brake Control does respond as in a. 1) and a. 2) above, return Brake Handle
to OFF, EC Switch to RUN and again set up for Dynamic Brake.
1) Move Brake Handle to MIN Brake. Compare Dyn Bk.TM Field current [25446] to Dyn
Brake Field Reference and they should match.
2) Verify that the Feedback matches the actual. Using a clamp-on ammeter, verify
that the amps from the meter match the amps displayed in MP 25446 DB
Field Amps. If they match, then feedback is OK. If they do not match, check SCM
Panel, shunt, wiring, and FE108 card.
3) If Dyn. Brk. TM Field current is higher than Reference amps, or if engine bogs
return Brake Handle to OFF. There are problems in the Excitation Control
Regulator. The functions of this regulator are divided between the Controller panel
(BCA) and the Exciter. Check the FE160 card in slot 10 and the Exciter.
Procedure to check if Current Transducer (CT) is used
1. Determine which CT Configuration option is set on this locomotive.
current_dash8 1.000 (Indonesia and most locomotives)
current_rec 1.000 (BC Rail, India)
current_carl 1.000 (HLCX, MRS 3801-3809, Estonia C30)
One of these should equal 1.000. This signifies the CT configuration on the
locomotive. Most locomotives have a dedicated CT7; but “current_carl” option
locomotives use CT4 to measure Field Amps.
1. Check the Current Transducer and its connections to Controller panel (BCA).
2. With locomotive in IDLE, use the SDIS to Monitor Parameter 25446 [Dyn. Brk. TM

Control does not respond as in 1) and 2) replace the FE137 card in Controller
panel (BCA).
b. If Brake Control does respond as in a. 1) and a. 2) above, return Brake Handle

1) Move Brake Handle to MIN Brake. Compare Dyn Bk.TM Field current [25446] to Dyn
Brake Field Reference and they should match.
2) Verify that the Feedback matches the actual. Using a clamp-on ammeter, verify
that the amps from the meter match the amps displayed in MP 25446 DB
Field Amps. If they match, then feedback is OK. If they do not match, check CT,
wiring, and FE108 card.
3) If Dyn. Brk. TM Field current is higher than Reference amps, or if engine bogs
return Brake Handle to OFF. There are problems in the Excitation Control
Regulator. The functions of this regulator are divided between the Controller panel
(BCA) and the Exciter. Check the FE160 card in slot 10 and the Exciter.

b. If only the Bad SCM/CT Fault for this motor is present, trouble shoot it.
c. If logged in Braking, check for fault 51-0401 Alt Fld Amps Feedback
misconnected, and run through Exciter Field Connection Checkout Procedure
outlined below, as a misconnected Exciter Field F1-F2 can lead to uncontrolled
braking amps at high speed which may result in this fault being logged.
4. If more than one of faults51-0096, 51-0097, 51-0098, 51-0099, 51-0100 or 51-0101
faults are present, Traction motors may have been plugged by an operator.
Depending upon the locomotive speed, this could have caused this fault to be
logged.
5. Check the Motor Current Measuring System by running through procedure below.
6. If other simultaneous faults were not present, then this fault was either caused
by a fault in the traction motor power circuit, or an extremely unusual wheelslip
condition.
a. Examine this traction motor for improper brush holders, worn brushes, or signs
of flash over. Also check P contactors and motor cables for faults.
7. If you did not find trouble in steps 1 through 6, the problem is either
intermittent or falsely logged.
8. Run the locomotive in Self Load with grids, in Dynamic Brake Maximum at
standstill, and then track test it. If the fault does not repeat release the
locomotive
for service.
Exciter Field Connection Checkout Procedure:
1. Past history has shown that the Exciter Field F1-F2 connection can sometimes be
connected backwards after an engine overhaul where the exciter is
disconnected and removed. The bootmarkers or wire labels are sometimes worn-away or
difficult top distinguish over many years. This misconnection will have no
detrimental effect in Motor or Self Load, but in Dynamic Braking at high speed
there can be uncontrolled operation. The Controller panel (BCA) will actually turn
off the FE160 card output through the field as it tries to regulate Grid Amps, but
since the F1-F2 connection is backwards, it cannot actually turn-off the Exciter
with the help of the Start Winding (K1-K2) and EFR2 resistor. So there is somewhat
of a run-away, self-excited operation that may result in grid overcurrent or
alternator overvoltage.
2. To verify the Exciter Field F1-F2 connection:
3. Connect a voltmeter (+) to Exciter output A2 (sometimes conveniently attached to
GS- contactor braided shunt) and voltmeter (-) to any N wire (also can be
found at GS +/- contactors).
4. Voltmeter should read battery level or charging volts (74 volts for example)
5. Blocks wheels or apply brakes, ensuring locomotive cannot move and setup for
Motoring N1 OR set up for Self Load.
6. Throttle to N1. The voltmeter voltage should increase. If it decreases, then the
F1-F2 Field is connected backwards. Correct this problems and repeat this step.
Motor Current Measuring System Test:
Procedure to check if Current Shunt (CS) is used
Determine which Shunt Configuration option is set on this locomotive.
current_dash8 1.000 (Indonesia and most locomotives)
current_rec 1.000 (BC Rail, India)
current_carl 1.000 (HLCX, MRS 3801-3809, Estonia C30)
One of these should equal 1.000. This signifies the shunt configuration on the
locomotive. Most locomotives have a dedicated shunt CS7 and scm module SCM7;
but “current_carl” option locomotives use CS4 and SCM4 channel to measure Field
Amps.
Also determine which kind of SCM panel the shunt feeds. That is, the shunt feedback
wires either go to a 17FM700-type SCM panel or smaller 17FM394-type
scm panel.
1. Use the SDIS and observe the current in each traction motor.
[Monitor Parameters 25467 through 25472 and 25446 for Field Amps in Braking]
a. In Idle, observe and record Monitor Parameters 25703 through 25708, TM #1-#6
Offset Current, and Monitor Parameter 25709, TM FLD Offset, which are
the static errors in the traction motor armature and field current readings. These
errors should not have an absolute value greater than 10 Amps. Replace the SCM
panel and retest if any of these readings is greater than ± 10 Amps.
b. Wiggle Test
----------Two people are required. With the locomotive in an UNPOWERED MODE (like
Idle), observe parameters 25703 through 25708 while wiggling the
connectors and wiring leading to the SCM panel. If the values for these parameters
fluctuate by more than 2 or 3 amps while the cables are wiggled, then SCM
cabling or connections are loose.
a. IF the locomotive is equipped with a 17FM700 SCF panel, verify the "O" ring from
FMI 26-14583 is present.
b. Check +/- 15V with a voltmeter to all SCM panels.
IF no problem was found in the SCM Checks, Continue to perform a static load test.
2. Static Load Test
Set up for Motoring. WARNING: DO NOT LET THE LOCOMOTIVE MOVE.
a. Operate in notch 1. Limit operating time to two (2) minutes. Look at all motor
currents [Monitor Parameters 25467 thru 25472]:
b. IF all motor currents are about the same, the current measuring system is ok.
[SCM and Controller panel (BCA) have passed this test].
c. If currents are unstable --, there are problems in the Exciter Field Control
circuitry.

h. If you did not find a problem with the wiring in g, change CT. Then check motor
currents in Idle and Notch 1.
1) If offset currents are now OK ( < 10amps) go to Step 3 .
2) If the problem remains, Change Controller panel (BCA) FE108 card and check motor
offset currents in Idle and balanced in Notch 1.
3) If the problem remains, Change Controller panel (BCA) and check motor offset
currents in Idle and balanced in Notch 1.
3. Run the locomotive in Self Load with grids, at Dynamic Brake Maximum at
Standstill, and then track test it. If no faults appear release the system checks
OK
and is ready for service.
Note: On both B & C locomotives stability is more important than absolute current
levels. Large differences between values could mean problems in the
braking grids or their power wiring. The Controller panel (BCA) will limit the grid
current to a maximum in each leg. Based on the number of grids, grid kW
rating, and grid resistance, the Controller panel (BCA) will limit the current in
each grid path in order not to overload any grid path. This may mean that one or
more leg carries more current than the other(s).

TM #1 Hi Amps While Cut-Out


Indicate high traction motor1 current during cut out
This fault is logged under the following conditions
- In Motoring, AND
- TM#1 is Cutout, AND
- Fault 51-0071 TM1 High Current is NOT active, AND
- Fault 51-0096 Bad SCM Module for CS1 is NOT active, AND
EITHER
1. Average current in active traction motors is 80 amperes or more, AND
2. Current in TM#1 is above 80 amperes.
OR
IF Shunt Sandwich present and in Parallel configuration, since there is no direct
measurement of TM1 or TM4 current, the software compares shunt 4 (CS4) current to
average of CS5 and CS6/CT6. If TM1 is properly cutout, meaning its power contactor
is really
open, the current in CS4 should be roughly half of the CS5/CS6 average current only
in
TM4. If the current > (0.8)*(CS5/CS6 average) this fault will log

1. Failed SCM panel/CT. 2. Welded P1 contactor.3. Wiring Problem.4. Bad Controller
panel (BCA) FE108 card or Panel. 5. Secondary fault caused by a
contactor dropping out
1. Use the SDIS and run Self Test 300 [P1 test]. Verify that power contactor picks
up and drops out properly and that power contact tips are not welded.
2. Examine the appropriate SCM module/CT and verify proper wiring.
3. Use SDIS and monitor Parameters 25467 [Traction Motor # 1 Amps] and 25703 [TM #
1 OFF_SET].
4. At IDLE, Parameter 25467 should be < 10 amps, and 25703 should be < 30 Amps.
a. If either Parameter exceeds these values, look for wiring errors to Controller
panel (BCA). If you do not find a problem with wiring, replace SCM/CT.
5. Check Incident Log for a fault which happened at the same time and could have
caused this motor to be cutout. a. If you find any, normal dropout times of GF,
and P contactors probably caused this fault to be logged. Reset this fault and
trouble-shoot the simultaneous fault that caused the traction motor to be cutout in
the
first place.
6. If no trouble was found in steps 1 through 5, the problem is either intermittent
or falsely logged. Run the locomotive in Self Load with grids and then track test
it.
a. If the fault repeats replace the FE108 card and whole Controller panel (BCA) in
turn.
b. If the fault does not repeat release the locomotive for service.
7. If fault persists, run through Traction Motor Current Measuring system test
procedure as below.
Motor Current Measuring System Test:
Procedure to check if Current Shunt (CS) is used
Determine which Shunt Configuration option is set on this locomotive.
current_dash8 1.000 (Indonesia and most locomotives)
current_rec 1.000 (BC Rail, India)
current_carl 1.000 (HLCX, MRS 3801-3809, Estonia C30)
One of these should equal 1.000. This signifies the shunt configuration on the
locomotive. Most locomotives have a dedicated shunt CS7 and scm module SCM7;
