Detailed content

  • Technical Specifications:​ Equipped with a 32-bit RISC processor (≥200 MHz), dual redundant Ethernet ports, and support for Modbus TCP/IP and Profibus protocols. Operating temperature range: -30°C to +65°C.
  • Functional Features:​ Runs a deterministic Real-Time Operating System (RTOS). Supports triple modular redundancy (TMR) or dual redundant configurations with bumpless auto-synchronization and switchover (<50ms). Includes Sequence of Events (SOE) recording with 1ms resolution.
  • Application Scenarios:​ Critical control of heavy-duty gas turbines, steam turbines, and axial compressors in power generation and oil & gas sectors.
  • Structural Characteristics:​ VME-based form factor with front-panel status LEDs and RJ-45 network connectors. Designed for insertion into standard VME racks.
  • Installation Requirements:​ Requires proper electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions during handling. Must be securely fastened to the backplane to ensure signal integrity.
  • Usage Notes:​ Firmware must be compatible with the specific Mark VIe system version. Do not remove while backplane power is active.
