Measurement & Control Solutions
You can now elegantly modernize your legacy Mark V control system
to GE’s most advanced control platform, the Mark VIe, through a
simple plug-and-play exchange of the electronic modules. With
no change to site wiring, panel terminations, turbine field devices,
or panel size, the migration significantly expands your system’s
capabilities while completely addressing all obsolescence issues. The
solution ensures continued OEM support and the ability to grow and
do more with your control system. It is designed to replace all Mark
V control systems, except for those on LM (aeroderivative) turbines.
Benefits of Migrating Your Mark V to Mark VIe
• A complete control upgrade with reduced scope, risk, site
disruption, cycle, and cost, installed in as few as five outage days
• Reset the clock on life cycle support – ensure availability of spare
parts and OEM engineering support
• Increase turbine performance – substantially increased computer
power and easily expandable I/O with many new types, enables
incorporation of GE’s many advanced turbine offerings such as
Autotune, Turndown, Cooling Optimization, TILs, advance DLN,
and more
• Increased reliability and availability through:
– Increased communications availability: eliminates single-point
communication failures within the control and provides options
for cost-effective network redundancy between controls
and HMIs
– Increased electrical surge and noise immunity
– Reduced time and effort to replace cards online with auto
configuration
– Card diagnostic LEDs replaced with HMI diagnostics
– Advanced diagnostic/trending software tools with 1ms
SOE on all discrete I/O, configurable before and after
commissioning on a point by point basis, with no rewiring
