Functional Description

IS230TEGSH1B is an Input/Output Module developed by GE. It is a part of the Mark VIe control system. The terminal board serves as a foundational component within the Mark VIe I/O module, securely mounted in the control cabinet. I/O networks within Mark VIe utilize IEEE 802.3 100 Mbit full duplex Ethernet technology, collectively known as IONet. In this system, each IONet operates exclusively with deterministic UDP/IP packets; TCP/IP protocols are not employed. Each network designated as red, blue, and black functions as an independent IP subnet, ensuring segregated and efficient communication pathways.

Features

• S-Type Terminal Board: The S-type terminal board features a single set of screws per I/O point, designed to accommodate signal conditioning and digitization using a single I/O pack. It supports various configurations including simplex, dual, and dedicated triple modular redundant (TMR) inputs, depending on the application's needs.
• T-Type TMR Terminal Board: In contrast, the T-type TMR terminal board distributes inputs across three separate I/O packs. It incorporates hardware voting mechanisms to coordinate outputs from these packs, ensuring reliability and consistency in critical applications requiring redundancy.
• Terminal Block: Acting as an intermediary between field wiring and the terminal board, the terminal block facilitates secure and organized connections for each I/O point. It plays a pivotal role in maintaining stable connections that simplify maintenance and troubleshooting tasks.
• I/O Pack: The I/O pack is pivotal in the Mark VIe I/O module, responsible for signal conditioning, digitization of analog signals into digital data, and facilitating communication between field devices and the control system. It ensures that processed signals are accurately transmitted and received, optimizing the system's operational efficiency and responsiveness.

System I/O Networks

• Switches integrated into the IONet networks play a pivotal role in managing data traffic. They facilitate data buffering and implement flow control mechanisms, which are especially crucial during critical input scans. By dynamically managing data transmission and reception, switches optimize network performance and minimize the risk of congestion or data loss, ensuring consistent operation of the control system.
• To maintain precise timing across all networked components, Mark VIe systems utilize the IEEE 1588 standard for precision clock synchronization protocol. This protocol synchronizes the frames and timestamps across controllers and I/O modules, enabling seamless coordination and accurate data synchronization throughout the network. The synchronized timing enhances overall system reliability and responsiveness, which are critical for real-time control applications.
• Synchronization achieved through IEEE 1588 ensures a high level of traffic flow control on the networks. By aligning the clocks of controllers and I/O modules, the protocol facilitates efficient data exchange and reduces latency. This capability is essential for maintaining operational efficiency and meeting stringent performance requirements in industrial automation and control environments.
