GE turbine control system Features
Control systems find widespread use across a diverse spectrum of process control and protection applications, serving critical roles in various industries. These applications span steam, gas, and wind turbines, power generation balance of plant (BoP) operations, deep-sea drilling, desalinization processes, gas compression systems, and comprehensive facility-wide equipment management systems.
Key Hardware Components
- Controller(s): These form the core of the control system, orchestrating its operation and ensuring precise control and protection.
- I/O Network (IONet) Switches: The IONet switches serve as the communication backbone, facilitating data exchange within the system.
- I/O Modules: These modules play a vital role in collecting and transmitting data from the controlled equipment to the controller, enabling seamless monitoring and control.
Enhanced Redundancy and Maintainability
- Modern control systems offer an array of redundancy options, bolstering system resilience.
- This heightened redundancy, coupled with improved maintainability, ensures uninterrupted operation even in the face of component failures. Additionally, these systems provide increased flexibility in locating I/O modules closer to the equipment they control.
High-Quality, Time-Coherent Data
- The control system delivers high-quality, time-coherent data both at the controller and plant levels.
- This data accuracy and consistency are instrumental in effectively managing control system equipment, enabling precise control and monitoring.
ControlST: A Powerful Toolset
- ControlST, comprising ToolboxST and WorkstationST applications, serves as a robust suite for programming, configuration, trending, and troubleshooting within the Mark control product line. This comprehensive toolset offers unparalleled versatility and adaptability for various large industrial applications.
Advanced Networking and Communication
- Control systems incorporate cutting-edge technology, including high-speed, networked input/output (I/O) capabilities that accommodate Simplex, Dual, and Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) configurations.
- Industry-standard Ethernet communication protocols are employed to facilitate seamless data exchange among I/O devices, controllers, supervisory interfaces, operator and maintenance stations, and third-party systems.
