Functional Description

IS230TNIDH3A is a TICI Module manufactured and designed by General Electric. It is a part of the Mark VIe Control System.

Link to Distributed Control System

The Mark VIe Control System offers external communication links that enable seamless interaction and data exchange with the plant's Distributed Control System (DCS). This integration enhances the overall efficiency and coordination between the two systems, providing operators with real-time Mark VIe data and the ability to send discrete and analog commands to the Mark VIe control.

There are three different ways to establish communication between the Mark VIe control and the plant DCS:

• Serial Modbus Slave Link: The first method involves using a Serial Modbus Slave link, which can be connected from the HMI (Human-Machine Interface) server's RS-232C port or through an optional dedicated gateway controller to the DCS. The Modbus Slave protocol is employed to facilitate communication, allowing the Mark VIe control to act as the slave, responding to requests and commands from the DCS. This connection provides reliable and relatively low-speed data exchange, making it suitable for applications where high-speed communication is not a priority.
• High-Speed Ethernet Link using Modbus Slave over TCP/IP: The second approach utilizes a high-speed 100 Mbaud Ethernet link, leveraging the Modbus Slave protocol over TCP/IP. This method significantly increases data transmission speed compared to the previous option, enabling faster and more responsive communication between the Mark VIe control and the DCS. The Mark VIe control continues to act as the slave, receiving commands and providing real-time data to the DCS, enhancing system integration and operational capabilities.
• High-Speed Ethernet Link using TCP/IP with GEDS Standard Messages (GSM): The third option also employs a high-speed 100 Mbaud Ethernet link but uses a proprietary application layer called GEDS Standard Messages (GSM) over the TCP/IP protocol. This proprietary layer allows for specialized communication and message exchange tailored to the unique needs of the Mark VIe Control System and the DCS. By using GSM, the Mark VIe control gains access to a broader range of functionalities and features for seamless data exchange and precise command handling.
