Functional Description

IS220PVIBH1A, REV K is a Vibration Monitor Board revision K version manufactured by General Electrics. It is a part of the Mark VIe control system. The PVIB (Vibration Input Module) serves as the electrical interface between one or two I/O Ethernet networks and the TVBA vibration terminal board, playing a crucial role in monitoring and analyzing vibration data in industrial applications. This module is built on a robust architecture, containing a processor board that is standard across all Mark VIe™ distributed I/O packs, alongside an acquisition board and a specialized daughterboard for enhanced functionality.

Features

• The PVIB is designed to read vibration or proximity information using channels 1 through 8, which can accommodate various sensor types, including Proximitors, accelerometers with integrated outputs (available only on channels 1-3), Velomitors, and seismic sensors. Channels 9 through 12 are dedicated exclusively to Proximitors, while channel 13 is versatile enough to accept either a Keyphasor® signal type or a proximity-type signal.
• For system connectivity, input to the PVIB is facilitated via dual RJ45 Ethernet connectors and a 3-pin power input, ensuring reliable communication. The module supports dual Ethernet networks when operating at frame rates slower than 100 Hz. However, for higher frame rates of 3.125, 6.25, 12.5, 25, 50, and 100 Hz, it can operate on a single Ethernet network.
• Output from the PVIB is conducted through a DC-37 pin connector, which directly interfaces with the associated terminal board connector. To aid in troubleshooting and monitoring, visual diagnostics are available through indicator LEDs. Additionally, local diagnostic serial communications can be performed via an infrared port, enhancing the module's usability and maintenance capabilities.

Installation

• Connect the PVIB I/O Pack: For simplex configurations, directly plug one PVIB I/O pack into the terminal board connectors. If you are configuring a TMR (Triple Modular Redundant) setup, plug in three PVIB I/O packs. Each pack should be connected securely to the corresponding connectors on the terminal board to ensure reliable communication and functionality.
• Mechanical Securing of Packs: Once the packs are connected, use the threaded studs located adjacent to the Ethernet ports to mechanically secure the packs. These studs are designed to slide into a mounting bracket that is specific to the terminal board type. It is crucial to adjust the bracket's location to prevent any right-angle force from being applied to the DC-37 pin connector between the pack and the terminal board. This adjustment should be made only once during the product's lifecycle, ensuring long-term reliability.
• Ethernet Cable Connection: Next, plug in one or two Ethernet cables, depending on your system configuration. The PVIB pack is capable of operating over either port. If you opt for dual connections, it is standard practice to connect ENET1 to the network associated with the R controller to facilitate optimal communication.
• Power Application: To power the pack, plug in the connector located on the side of the PVIB pack. There is no need to remove power from the cable before connecting it, as the I/O pack is equipped with inherent soft-start capability. This feature helps manage current inrush during power application, thereby protecting the equipment from potential damage.
• Configuration of the I/O Pack: After the power is applied, proceed to configure the I/O pack as necessary. This step may involve setting up specific parameters or calibration to ensure that the module operates according to your requirements.
• Verify Power Supply Daughterboard: Lastly, confirm that the TVBA's N28 power supply daughterboard is seated properly in the TVBA connector. Ensuring this connection is secure is critical for the stable operation of the entire system.

Processor

• High-Speed Processor: At the core of the processor board is a high-speed processor that enables rapid data processing and communication. This processor is equipped with both RAM (Random Access Memory) for temporary data storage and flash memory for persistent data storage, allowing for efficient management of operational tasks and settings.
• Dual Independent Ethernet Ports: The board features two fully independent 10/100 Ethernet ports, which provide robust networking capabilities. These ports allow for flexible communication setups, facilitating connections to multiple networks or devices as required.
• Hardware Watchdog Timer and Reset Circuit: To ensure reliability and stability in operation, the processor board includes a hardware watchdog timer. This component monitors the system’s performance and can trigger a reset if it detects any anomalies or failures, thereby enhancing the overall robustness of the system.
• Local Ambient Temperature Sensor: The board is equipped with a local ambient temperature sensor that continuously monitors the temperature within the enclosure. This feature is crucial for ensuring that the processor operates within optimal temperature ranges, preventing overheating and potential damage.
• Infrared Serial Communications Port: For convenient data transfer and diagnostics, the processor board includes an infrared serial communications port. This port allows for wireless communication with compatible devices, enabling maintenance and troubleshooting without the need for physical connections.
• Status-Indication LEDs: The processor board is fitted with status-indication LEDs that provide visual feedback on the operational status of the pack. These LEDs can indicate various conditions, such as power status, operational health, and communication activity, making it easier for operators to monitor the system at a glance.
• Electronic ID and ID Reading Capability: The processor board features an electronic ID system, which uniquely identifies the board within the control system. Additionally, it has the capability to read IDs from other connected boards, facilitating system integration and management.
• Programmable Logic: There is a substantial amount of programmable logic integrated into the processor board that supports the acquisition board. This programmability allows for customized functionalities and enhancements based on specific application needs.
• Input Power Connector with Soft Start/Current Limiter: The board includes an input power connector designed with a soft start feature and a current limiter. This ensures that power is gradually applied to the system, reducing the risk of current spikes that could damage components during startup.
• Local Power Supplies: Lastly, the processor board contains local power supplies that are responsible for providing power to various components within the pack. This includes features for sequencing and monitoring, ensuring that all power requirements are met and that components receive adequate voltage and current.
