Mark VIeMark IV
Configuration and Diagnostic Tools
The Mark VIe comes with the ToolboxST* software suite. Application
software is upgraded from 16 bit integer data to 32 bit floating
point and graphically represented as interconnected function
blocks. Data can be dragged and dropped between blocks or onto
trending screens. Features include block libraries, help files, math
blocks, macros, logic and analog forcing. Changes to application
software can be made on-line without rebooting the controllers
as required in Mark IV.
ToolboxST is used to configure everything from I/O devices to
networks and operator stations. It provides more extensive and
precise diagnostics with clear messages to quickly identify fault
locations and reduce mean-time-to-repair.
Related Products
Generator excitation upgrades are also available with cost-effective
products, such as the Digital Front End (DFE), which replaces just
the control portion of the exciter without affecting the power
bridges. DFE shares the same ToolboxST software tools as the
Mark VIe, HMIs, and has peer-to-peer Ethernet communications
instead of hardwiring all signals.
Bently Nevada* Asset Condition Monitoring solutions are also
available for the turbine and driven load equipment with
communication on the same networks as the Mark VIe and DFE.
Benefits
• Minimum downtime for upgrade by retaining field terminations
and turbine devices
• Improved fault tolerance and reliability
• Enhanced on-line repair at the I/O module level
• Modern HMI tools for ease of operation
• Modern maintenance tools and diagnostics to quickly
identify faults
• Flexible Ethernet networks to distribute data
• Distributed I/O to integrate instrumentation in other cabinets
• Compatible with all new turbine technology, such as dry low NO
