Functional Description
IS230TEFV1AG01 is a Electric Fuel Valve Gateway developed by GE. It is part of Mark VIe control system. The Electric Fuel Valve Gateway (PEFV) facilitates communication between the I/O Ethernet network and an electric fuel valve interface module, known as the Digital Valve Positioner (DVP), manufactured by Woodward Controls.
Features
- Gateway Functionality: It acts as an Ethernet gateway, bridging the communication gap between the Mark VIeTM I/O Ethernet network and the Digital Valve Positioner (DVP). This enables seamless data exchange and control commands between the control system and the fuel valve interface module.
- Communication Protocol: Communication between the PEFV and the DVP module is established using the Ethernet Global Data (EGD) protocol. This protocol facilitates efficient and reliable data transmission, ensuring accurate control and monitoring of fuel valve operations.
- Processor Board: The PEFV contains a processor board that is common to all Mark VIe I/O packs. This processor board provides the necessary computing power and processing capabilities to manage communication tasks and interface with the DVP module effectively.
- Ethernet Connectivity: Equipped with dual RJ45 Ethernet connectors. One of these connectors is used to connect to the I/O Ethernet network of the Mark VIe system, while the other directly interfaces with the DVP module. This configuration ensures direct and efficient communication between the PEFV and the DVP module.
- Power Supply: Power to the PEFV pack is supplied through a 3-pin connector. This connector ensures that the PEFV receives the necessary power for its operation, ensuring uninterrupted functionality and reliable performance.
- Integration with Woodward Controls: The DVP module, manufactured by Woodward Controls, is seamlessly integrated with the PEFV gateway. This integration ensures compatibility and interoperability between the PEFV and the DVP module, facilitating smooth operation and control of fuel valve systems.
Compatibility
- Dedicated Configuration: Configured exclusively for mounting the PEFV within the system. This dedicated configuration ensures optimal compatibility and integration between the PEFV gateway and the terminal board.
- Electronic ID Connections: The connections on the board are solely designated for electronic identification purposes related to the PEFV. These connections facilitate communication and identification of the PEFV within the system architecture, ensuring seamless integration and compatibility.
- Limited Usage of Connections: Apart from electronic ID connections, the board utilizes no other connections. This streamlined approach simplifies installation and setup procedures, focusing solely on the essential communication requirements between the PEFV gateway and the terminal board.
- Visual Diagnostics: Visual diagnostics for the PEFV are provided through indicator LEDs located on the gateway itself. These LEDs offer real-time feedback and status indications, allowing operators to monitor the operational status of the PEFV and diagnose potential issues quickly and efficiently.
- Infrared Port for Local Diagnostic Communication: Gateway features an infrared port that enables local diagnostic serial communication. This port allows for direct communication with the gateway for diagnostic purposes, providing an additional means of troubleshooting and maintenance.
Installation
- Securely Mount the Terminal Board: Begin by securely mounting the board in the designated location within the system enclosure or cabinet. Ensure that the board is properly aligned and firmly secured to prevent any movement during operation.
- Plug in Modules for Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR): Directly plug in three modules into the terminal board connectors to achieve triple modular redundancy (TMR). Ensure that each PEFV module is correctly inserted and securely seated in its respective connector.
- Mechanically Secure the Packs: Use the threaded inserts adjacent to the Ethernet ports to mechanically secure the PEFV packs. These inserts connect to a mounting bracket specific to the terminal board type. Adjust the bracket to avoid applying right-angle force to the DC-37 pin connector between the pack and the terminal board. This adjustment is essential for proper alignment and longevity of the installation.
- Connect Ethernet Cables: Plug one Ethernet cable into the I/O Ethernet network and connect the other Ethernet cable to the corresponding network connector on the Woodward DVP module. Either port on the PEFV pack can be used for connectivity, but if connections are modified, the pack must reboot. It's recommended to connect ENET1 to the network associated with the I/O Ethernet network for standard practice.
- Apply Power to the Pack: Apply power to the connector on the side of the pack. Ensure that power is applied correctly, and the connector is inserted securely. The PEFV pack features inherent soft-start capability, which controls current inrush during power application, ensuring safe operation.
- Configuration: Finally, configure the pack as necessary to suit the specific requirements of the application. Ensure that all settings and parameters are adjusted correctly to achieve optimal performance and functionality within the system.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is IS230TEFV1AG01?
It is a Electric Fuel Valve Gateway developed by GE under the Mark VIe series.
What do the indicator LEDs on each serial channel signify?
The TX LED flashes when the PEFV transmits data from a port. The RX LED flashes when a port on the PEFV is receiving data.
How can I identify when data is being transmitted from the PEFV?
The TX LED on the respective serial channel will flash when the PEFV is actively transmitting data from that port. This visual indication helps in monitoring data transmission activity.
How can I identify when data is being received by the PEFV?
The RX LED on the respective serial channel will flash when the PEFV is receiving data from an external source. This indicator provides visual feedback on data reception activity, aiding in troubleshooting and monitoring.
What does the green LED labeled PWR indicate?
The green LED labeled PWR serves as a power indicator, showing the presence of control power to the PEFV. When illuminated, it indicates that the PEFV is receiving power, ensuring operators can easily verify the power status of the device.
