Functional Description
High-Speed Industrial Data Routing
Facilitates Layer 2 Ethernet switching with Gigabit/Ethernet port support, enabling high-bandwidth transmission of control data, status signals, and diagnostic information across the Mark VIe system. Delivers low-latency (<1 ms) data forwarding, critical for real-time control logic execution and time-sensitive turbine/generator operations (e.g., speed regulation, load balancing).
Redundant Network Architecture Support
Integrates dual-redundant network protocols (e.g., Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP)) and dual power supply compatibility. Automatically switches to backup network paths or power sources in case of primary failure, ensuring zero communication downtime for critical control systems. Supports ring, star, and daisy-chain network topologies to adapt to diverse plant layout requirements.
Industrial Environment Adaptation
Features ruggedized hardware and enhanced electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding to withstand electrical noise, vibration, and temperature extremes common in industrial settings. Filters packet noise and suppresses signal interference from high-voltage equipment, motor drives, and other industrial machinery—maintaining signal integrity for stable communication.
Managed Switch Configuration & Monitoring
Supports remote configuration and monitoring via web-based interfaces, SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), or GE’s Mark VIe Control System software. Allows users to customize VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks), QoS (Quality of Service) prioritization, and port mirroring—optimizing network traffic flow and isolating critical control data from non-essential traffic.
System Integration & Interoperability
Seamlessly interfaces with Mark VIe controllers, I/O modules (e.g., IS200IOCCH1A), and plant-wide systems (e.g., SCADA, MES) via standard Ethernet protocols (TCP/IP, UDP). Ensures backward compatibility with legacy GE control system components and interoperability with third-party industrial Ethernet devices, supporting flexible plant-wide network expansion.
Characteristics
Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to +70°C (-40°F to +158°F), suitable for extreme industrial environments (turbine enclosures, power plant control rooms, offshore facilities).
Storage Temperature Range: -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to +185°F).
