Structure and Composition

• Ethernet communication chip: A high-performance processor that supports real-time industrial protocols (such as SRTP) and standard TCP/IP communication.
• Dual RJ45 ports: Provide redundant network connections, support ring network topologies (such as HSR or PRP), and enhance communication reliability.
• Backplane interface: Interacts with the Mark VIe rack backplane through a high-speed connector to obtain power and transmit data.
• Status indicators: LEDs display power, network activity, and fault status, facilitating quick diagnosis.
• Isolation circuit: Isolates signals from power to suppress electromagnetic interference (EMI) and ensure communication stability.
• Metal housing: Provides EMC shielding and mechanical protection, complying with industrial anti-vibration standards.

Main Features and Advantages

High-Speed and Reliable Industrial Communication

• Supports Gigabit Ethernet to meet the high-bandwidth requirements of real-time control data, with latency below 1ms.
• Dual-network port redundancy design, supporting HSR/PRP ring networks to avoid system interruptions caused by single-point failures.

Seamless Integration with Mark VIe System

• Natively compatible with GE Mark VIe controllers (such as IS200ERMGH2A) without the need for additional protocol conversion.
• Easily configure network parameters and I/O mapping through ToolboxST software.

Enhanced System Scalability

• Supports connection to up to dozens of remote I/O stations, significantly reducing on-site wiring costs.
• Flexibly adapts to various I/O modules (such as analog input IC693ALG390 or digital output IC693MDL654).

Harsh Environment Adaptability

• Wide temperature operating range (-20°C to +70°C), suitable for harsh environments such as power stations and offshore platforms.
• Complies with IEC 61800-3 standards, with strong anti-electromagnetic interference capabilities.

Convenient Maintenance

• Supports hot swapping (when allowed by the system), enabling module replacement without shutdown.
• Firmware can be upgraded online, compatible with future function expansions.

Application Fields

• Power industry: Speed control, temperature monitoring, and fuel valve regulation of gas turbines/steam turbines.
• Oil and gas: Remote monitoring and interlock protection of compressor stations and pump sets.
• Water treatment and shipping: Distributed I/O networks for large pump stations and propulsion systems.
• Industrial manufacturing: Real-time data collection and control of key equipment in production lines.

Related Products

• IS200ERMGH2A: Mark VIe main controller, used with the CR2962-E2A.
• IC693ALG390: Analog input module for remote signal collection.
• IC693MDL654: Digital output module for driving on-site actuators.
• DS200SDCCG1AFG: Mark VIe system power module.
• EX2100: GE excitation controller, which can be integrated for communication through the CR2962-E2A.

Installation and Maintenance

Pre-Installation Preparation

• Confirm that the Mark VIe rack power supply is disconnected, or confirm that hot swapping is supported.
• Check the network topology diagram and plan the RJ45 port connection sequence (to avoid ring network logic conflicts).
• Pre-configure module IP address and communication parameters using ToolboxST software.

Maintenance Recommendations

• Regularly check the network connection status (via LEDs or software diagnostic tools).
• Clean the module’s heat dissipation holes to prevent dust accumulation from affecting heat dissipation.
• Back up configuration files to avoid unexpected interruptions during firmware upgrades.
• When replacing the module, ensure that the new module’s model and firmware version are compatible.
