Features of GE Speedtronic Mark VIeS PLC

  • In industrial settings, PLCs find extensive application in the management of diverse systems, including lighting fixtures, machinery, and assembly lines. They extend their reach even further, being employed in the control of various other systems, such as those governing amusement park rides.
  • To facilitate seamless integration into industrial environments, PLCs are equipped with industry-standard integration tools. These encompass plant network gateways and peer-to-peer controller communication capabilities.
  • PLCs employ a conventional programming language known as ladder logic, which closely resembles circuit diagrams. However, some PLCs utilize alternative programming languages like Function Block Diagram (FBD), Instruction List (IL), Sequential Function Chart (SFC), or Structured Text (ST), all of which are standardized under IEC 61131-3.
  • What sets PLCs apart is their user-friendliness, ease of installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting. Their inherent flexibility accommodates a wide array of operations, and their robust design is tailor-made for the rigors of industrial processes.

Mark VIeS PLC Recovery

A communication recovery or PLC recovery process takes place when the enabler restores communication via a network pathway to a PLC that is currently operating in a healthy state. This can happen when the network connection is reestablished, the PLC is powered up, or when the Health bit is set. The specific actions performed by the enabler depend on the priority or ranking of the PLC:

For Higher Ranked PLCs

  • The enabler examines both the Health and Master bits.
  • It proceeds to update the diagnostic information associated with the PLC.
  • If both the Health and Master bits are set, the enabler designates this PLC as the current master.

For Lower Ranked PLCs

  • The enabler also checks the Health and Master bits.
  • It then updates the diagnostic data for the PLC, regardless of whether the Master bit is set or not.

System Features

The Mark VIeS is a highly versatile and advanced control system that boasts a range of impressive features. One of its standout characteristics is the utilization of a single-board controller in tandem with an Ethernet-based I/O network. This combination empowers the Mark VIeS with the capability to accommodate various control modes, especially tailored for Safety Instrumented Functions (SIFs). Here are some of the notable features and functionalities that set the Mark VIeS apart:

  • Customizable Configuration: The Mark VIeS offers a high degree of customization, allowing users to tailor the system to meet the specific needs of their operations. This means that you can configure the system to align seamlessly with your unique requirements.
  • Redundancy Options: Redundancy is crucial for ensuring system reliability and minimizing downtime. With the Mark VIeS, you can effortlessly select and implement redundancy options in a matter of seconds. Importantly, this can be achieved without any impact on the application code, simplifying the process of enhancing system robustness.
  • TMR Redundancy: The Mark VIeS includes Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) capabilities, which enhance system reliability and safety. The system supports various TMR configurations, including:
    • TMR 2oo3 SIL3 high/low demand for de-energize-to-trip applications.
    • TMR 2oo3 SIL2 low demand for energize-to-trip scenarios.
    • TMR degraded 1oo2 SIL3 high/low demand for de-energize-to-trip situations.
    • TMR degradation sequence 2oo3 to 1oo2 to fail-safe, ensuring a robust response to potential failures.
    • Dual 1oo2 SIL3 high/low demand for de-energize-to-trip applications.
    • Dual 2oo2 SIL2 low demand for both energize and de-energize-to-trip functions.
    • Simplex 1oo1 SIL2 low demand for de-energize-to-trip requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a PLC?
A PLC, or Programmable Logic Controller, is a specialized computer used in industrial automation to control various processes and machinery.

Can the Mark VIeS system be customized to suit specific needs?
Yes, the Mark VIeS offers a high degree of customization. Users have the flexibility to configure the system to precisely match the requirements of their operations, ensuring seamless alignment with unique needs.

How does the Mark VIeS address system reliability and downtime concerns?
The Mark VIeS provides redundancy options that are crucial for enhancing system reliability and minimizing downtime. Users can easily select and implement redundancy configurations within seconds, without affecting the application code, simplifying the process of bolstering system robustness.

What is Mark VIeS PLC Recovery?
Mark VIeS PLC Recovery is a process aimed at restoring communication between a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and a network. It occurs when the PLC is in a healthy operational state and can be triggered by events such as network reconnection, PLC power-up, or the setting of the Health bit.

When does GE Speedtronic Mark VIeS PLC Recovery typically occur?
PLC Recovery happens when there is a need to reestablish communication with a functioning PLC. This may occur when the network connection is reestablished after an interruption, when the PLC is powered up, or when the Health bit is activated.
