Engine Stopping Modes
LM6000 Sequences
Shutdown may be initiated by operator selection or caused by engine operational conditions at any time during startup or running operational modes. The LM6000 software code lists more than 130 engine, generator, and subsystem conditions that can cause a shutdown.
The five programmed shutdown sequences that can occur once shutdown is initiated are: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) Fast-Stop Lockout without Motoring (FSLO) Fast-Stop with Motoring (FSWM) Cooldown Lockout (CDLO/NORMAL) Slow Decel to Minimum Load (SML) Step Decel to Idle (SDTI)

Fast-Stop Lockout without Motoring (FSLO) An FSLO automatically initiates the following actions:
LM6000 Sequences
Fuel valves (and water or steam valves, if applicable) are closed The unit breaker is tripped open. Variable inlet guide vanes are closed.
Variable bleed valves doors are opened (closed later during coast down). Ignition system and starter are deenergized. XN2, XN25, XNSD and oil pressure alarms are bypassed. Four hour lock-out if problem cannot be corrected in ten minutes.
When these steps are completed, drain and vent valves are opened, alarms, interlocks, and start sequence timers are reset, and the operating time meter is turned off. Fast-Stop with Motoring (FSWM) An FSWM automatically initiates an FSLO, and then the starter is engaged for 25 minutes when XN25 reaches 1700 RPM.

Cooldown Lockout (CDLO/NORMAL) A CDLO automatically initiates the following actions: Power is retarded to minimum load (synchronous idle). Shutdown steam/water and trip unit breaker.
LM6000 Sequences
High-pressure rotor speed decreases to approximately 6400 rpm for 5 minutes. The starter is engaged for 20 minutes when XN25 drops to 1700 RPM. If reset clears shutdown during cool down period then CDLO is aborted. If on naphtha fuel, CDLO is replaced with FSWM.

Slow Decel to Minimum Load (SML)
LM6000 Sequences
A slow decel to minimum load (min-load) is a controlled deceleration at a rate that allows all engine schedules and engine cooling to be maintained at a controlled rate. Rather than decel all the way to core idle, the engine decels to the min-load point. This allows the condition to be investigated without requiring a shutdown. An SML automatically initiates the following actions: Fast load shed to minimum load in 20 seconds. If the problem still exists after 3 minutes then do a CDLO. If on naphtha fuel, SML is replaced with FSWM.
NOTE:
Step Decel to Idle (SDTI) A step-decel to idle is an immediate rapid (max decel rate) deceleration to idle followed by a 10-second pause, and then by a shutdown. A step-decel provides a more controlled and orderly way of shutting down the engine than does an immediate shutdown at power. The 10-second delay pause at core idle allows various scheduled engine systems, such as variable inlet guide vanes (VIGVs) and variable bleed valves (VBVs), to reach a stabilized condition before shutdown occurs.

An SDTI automatically initiates the following actions:
LM6000 Sequences
Power is immediately reduced to core idle, causing the engine to decel as rapidly as possible. Ten (10) seconds after achieving core idle then FSLO. NOTE: If on naphtha fuel, SDTI is replaced with FSWM.
