Analog inputs use %AI references in the program

mable controller.  A maximum of 8K words of %AI

memory is currently available in the programmable

controller.  Each input channel uses one word (16 bits)

of %AI memory.

Field wiring is made to a removable terminal board

and the module is mechanically keyed to ensure cor

rect replacement with a similar module type in the

field.  I/O references are user configurable without the

use of jumpers or DIP switches on the module.

Configuration is done using the configuration func

tion of the MS-DOS or Windows programming soft

ware running on Windows 95 or Windows NT over

Ethernet TCP/IP or through the SNP port. The Pro

gramming Software configuration function is installed

on the programming device.  The programming de

vice can be an IBM  XT, AT, PS/2  or compatible Per

sonal Computer.

Functions

The High Level Analog Input subsystem for the  Pro

grammable Logic Controller (PLC) accepts analog in

puts of up to Ç10 volts full scale, or 4 to 20 milliamp

current loop signals.  These inputs are converted to

digital form for use by the CPU or other controllers

accessing analog inputs via the VME backplane.

Converted data is presented as 2’s complement (sign

+ 15 bits).  The basic converter is 14 bits resolution (1

part in 16384); an oversampling and averaging tech

nique further enhances this resolution.  Inputs are

protected against transient and steady-state overvol

tage conditions.

Our Reflective Memory technology is centered 

on an innovative and efficiently designed hardware platform that is easy to use, 

provides for greater distance between nodes, high noise immunity,

optional node bypass, and no software overhead. 

Just read and write to the onboard memory and the Reflective Memory node controller does the rest.

The PMC-5565PIORC is a Reflective Memory node card in PMC format.

Reflective Memory node cards are available in multiple form factors, including PMC, PCI Express,

PCI, low profile PCI Express, and VME. The family allows computers, workstations,

 PLCs, and other embedded controllers to all share data in real-time.

The transfer of data between nodes is software transparent so no processor overhead is required.

Data written into the Reflective Memory is broadcast to all nodes on the network without further involvement of the sending or receiving nodes. 

Benefits

• Highly scalable technology supports up to 256 nodes

• Bus independent design protects investments in your current network infrastructure

• Low latency, deterministic data transfer rate allows for predictable, high-perfor mance application deployment 

• Seamless integration with GE Intelligent Platforms’ SBC solutions and most industry standard offerings 

• Improved PIO read performance and field upgradeable firmware

Reflective Memory is an optical ring-based, ultra high-speed shared memory network solution.

It allows a distributed network to share real-time data at a deterministic rate,

regardless of bus structures and operating systems.

With more than 15 years of experience in this field, GE Intelligent Platforms

is an original pioneer of this technology and our 5565 Reflective Memory family extends our market leadership position. 

How do we do it? We keep it simple. 

The transfer of data between nodes is software transparent so no processor overhead is required.

Data written into the Reflective Memory is broadcast to all nodes on the network without further involvement of the sending or receiving nodes. 

Benefits

 Cost effective 35A brushless dual redundant regulator

configuration

 Improved reliability and less spare parts inventory

 Less maintenance and on-going training costs with

common software tools

 Better life-cycle support with more compute power for

upgrades and simplified controller replacement

 Risk mitigation of new technology with proven algorithms

and power bridges

Proven Technology

While controllers, networks, I/O modules, and software tools

are upgraded, the heart of the system remains the same.

Proven control and protection algorithms remain unchanged.

Similarly, mission-critical power bridge technology is carried

over from the EX2100 power conversion assemblies.

In addition, control cabinet footprints are unchanged and

compliance to international regulations and standards is retained.

The EX2100e uses the ToolboxST* application for

configuration and diagnostics and retains all attributes for

high-speed analysis of rotating machinery and the enhanced

look-and-feel of plant-level Distributed Control System

software. For example, the ToolboxST application can analyze

and configure I/O modules, controllers, networks, and

operator stations for generator controls, turbine controls, and

balance-of-plant controls to simplify maintenance.

Controllers

The Hydran 201Ti can be connected to optional controllers to facilitate

communication with multiple units and create a local network.

• The Ci-1 controller is a one channel controller that replicates some of

the human interface functions (gas value display, alarm buttons). This is

ideal when the 201Ti is mounted out of reach on an upper valve of the

transformer. It also brings down the alarm relay contacts and the analogue

output for easier wiring.

• The Ci-C controller receives the gas ppm data from up to four 201Ti,

providing a single communication point for all four monitors. It has no

alarm relay or analogue output. This is ideal when protecting 3 single phase

transformers + 1 spare.

It is possible to “daisy-chain” up to 32 controllers or 201Ti through their RS-485

port. The maximum chain distance (all cables added up) is 1200m (4000ft). All

the 201Ti connected to any of the daisy-chained controllers can be accessed

through any controller in the local network, thus facilitating communication by

only having to fit one RS-232 modem for example.

Human Interface

• Backlit LCD display of gas information

• Keypad to stop unit and acknowledge alarms

• Compatibility with GE’s acclaimed Perception™

software to download, trend and analyze

transformer data

Mark IV Improvements

• Completely overhauled with improved sensor

durability, new electronic boards and power

supply to make it RoHS compliant while

increasing device reliability and capabilities

• Local USB port to replace the RS-232 port no

longer found on most field laptops

• Digital output of registers using Modbus®

protocol communication over isolated RS-485
