• Converts “real world” signals to/from digital signal for the processors
• Scale and condition I/O signals
• Servo Valve output regulation

• I/O configuration software

• I/O configuration constants
• Hardware jumper configuration.
Processor Boards

• (S)DCC Drive Control Cards

- Location 1 <C>, <D>, and <Q> Processors
- Executes the Control Sequence Program for each`
Processor
• (S)LCC - LAN Control Cards
- Transfer Digital information between Processors
- Passes data to <C>‘s SLCC, then to <I>
- Does the voting in TMR applications
Protective Processors

• TCEA Boards
• Location 1, 3 & 5 of <P> Core
• Emergency Over speed Protection
• Master Protective Trip Circuit (the 4’s)
• Generator Circuit Breaker Close Circuit
• UV Flame Detectors Power Supply and
Input Conditioning Circuits
• Auto-Sync in Generator drive applications
Power Supply Boards

• TCPS
• Location 5 <C>, <D> and <Q> Processors
• Powers DCCs and I/O Boards
• Input: 125 VDC
• Outputs:
– - +/- 24 VDC
– - +/- 15 VD
– - +/- 5 VDC
Power Distribution Board

• TCPD Board
• Located in <PD> core
• Distributes 125 Vdc to:
– - Power Supply Boards for <C>, <D>, <Q> Core
– - Protective Processors
– - PLU Processors
– - <QDn> and <CD> cores for solenoid outputs
<BOI>

• Back Up Operator Interface

• Can be used to control the turbine in
• emergencies or other situations
• User defined menus
• Must be located within 50 feet of panel
• Must be ‘initiated’
• Cannot be locked out or password
• protected
• Most <I> CONTROL functions available
 Control Basics
• <I> Configures Mark V -- user must download
• configuration files to EEPROM in panel
• The <I> knows signal name and addresses
• (memory location) in Mark V
• Mark V Knows only addresses and values
• <I> asks Mark V for values by address
• Mark V normally sits silent, waiting for a request
• from <I>
• <I> NOT critical to system operation
• - <I> does no sequencing, just display & control
• - Mark V runs at last good value if <I> does
• - Control with BOI or anther <I>
<C> Communication Processor

• “Translates” information between the

Operator Interface ( <I> ) and the Control
Processors (<R>, <S>, <T> )
• Handles Analog I/O and, via the <CD> core,
• Handles the Digital I/O
• <C> has some sequencing (Back - up
primary over speed calculations)
• <C> may have critical sequencing in some
Simplex or other applications

 ADVANTAGES OF MARK-V OVER MARK-IV
• MARK-V HARDWARE HAS BEEN BUILT WITH STATE OF THE ART
TECHNOLOGY AND 16 BIT MICROPROCESSOR.
• PROTECTION FUNCTION BEING EXTREMELY CRITICAL IS
REALISED IN INDEPENDENT TMR<P> CONTROLLER.
• OPERATOR INTERFACE IS EASIER AS IT IS THROUGH A PC BASED
<I> STATION WITH 19”
• VGA COLOUR GRAPHIC CRT, 101 FUNCTION ASCII KEYBOARD
AND TRACKBALL. THE
• MARK-V PANEL IS LOCATED AS A SEPARATE FREE STANDING
PANEL AND THE <I>
• STATION IS PLACED ON TABLE TOP AT A CONVENIENT
LOCATION AWAY FROM THE
 ADVANTAGES OF MARK-V OVER MARK-IV
• PANEL. AS A BACK UP TO THE <I> STATION, A SOFT KEY TYPE
BACK UP OPERATOR. INTERFACE IS MOUNTED ON THE PANEL
FRONT DOOR TO PERFORM CRITICAL FUNCTIONS.
• SYSTEM IS FAULT TOLERANT, ACHIEVED THROUGH SIFT
(SOFTWARE IMPLEMENTED FAULT TOLERANCE), THEREBY
REDUCING THE LIKELYHOOD OF SPURIOUS TRIPS AND GREATLY
ENHANCING THE SYSTEM AVAILABILITY.
• ALL INTER-CORE CONNECTIONS ARE THROUGH FLAT CABLE.
THIS AGAIN INCREASES THE SYSTEM AVAILABILITY AS IT
ELIMINATES POSSIBILITY OF WIRE BREAKAGE AND LOOSE
TERMINATION THAT IS GENERALLY ASSOCIATED WITH DISCREET
WIRING.
• CONNECTIVITY TO EXTERNAL SYSTEMS IS IMPROVED AS IT IS
THROUGH MODBUS LINK.
• THE SYSTEM IS MORE COMPACT THEREBY REDUCING THE
DIMENSION OF PANEL.
