Contact Input Module

The Mark* VIeS Functional Safety Contact Input module provides an interface between
discrete contact process sensors (24 discrete inputs) and Mark VIeS Safety control logic.
The Contact Input module consists of two orderable parts: the contact input I/O pack and
the contact input terminal board. All safety contact input modules use the same I/O pack,
IS420YDIAS1B. Multiple DIN-rail mounted terminal boards are available to provide the
necessary contact voltages, redundancy, and terminal block styles.
The Contact Input module is available in both Simplex and Triple Modular Redundant
(TMR) configurations. Users can select the configuration that best addresses their needs
for availability and SIL level. This document discusses the Simplex Contact Input (STCI)
terminal board and the Contact Input (TBCI) terminal board. The TBCI terminal board
TMR Simplex
offers TMR capability but it can also be used in a Simplex configuration with a single
YDIA I/O pack. In a TMR I/O configuration, the controller performs 2-out-of-3 voting on
the discrete inputs. In a Dual I/O configuration, the controllers listen to the first reporting
YDIA I/O pack (no voting).

Vibration Input Module

The Mark* VIeS Functional Safety Vibration Input module provides an interface
between eddy-current (position, velocity, and key-phasor), seismic (velocity), velometer
(velocity), accelerometer with integrated output (velocity), and charge amplifier (dynamic
pressure probe interface for acoustics) sensors, and Mark VIeS Safety certified vibration
algorithms. The Vibration Input module consists of two orderable parts: the Vibration
Input IS420YVIBS1B I/O pack and the Vibration Input IS410TVBAS2B terminal board. The
Vibration Input module is available in both Simplex and Triple Modular Redundant (TMR)
configurations.
The IS420YVIBS1B I/O pack provides the following IEC61508 certified algorithms:
• Configurable gain and sensor bias nulling to maximize the resolution of the time series
AC content
• Gap measurement between eddy-current sensor head and rotating member of machine
for channels 1 through 13
• RPM and position information relative to rotor’s key-phasor for channels 12 and 13
• Vibration displacement using peak-to-peak and true RMS calculations of passband
filtered, broadband time-series sampled inputs for channels 1 through 8
• Vibration magnitude and phase from tracking filters using a rotor’s key-phasor input for
channels 1 through 8
• Magnitude only from tracking filters using speed inputs from the Safety controller
• Configurable limit checks on all algorithm results
The IS410TVBAS2B terminal board provides buffered outputs through BNC connectors
or four D-shell connectors to some third-party devices. The following table provides the
specifications for the IS410TVBAS2B terminal board.
For more information on the YVIB I/O pack and the TVBA terminal board, refer to the

 Mark* VIeS Functional Safety System

Universal Analog I/O Module

The Mark* VIeS Functional Safety IS430SSUAH1A Universal Analog Input/Output (I/O)
module is an enhanced I/O device that offers users significant flexibility as compared to
traditional analog I/O modules. Each of the 16 points of I/O can be uniquely configured
to any of the 10 different I/O types. This flexibility allows optimization during the system
design phase, lowering cabinet footprint and reducing system cost. The module facilitates
last-minute field changes through simple software reconfiguration of individual I/O points
for faster commissioning. Your project stays on schedule and on budget. It also provides
flexibility for upgrades and expansions by simply reconfiguring the point to match the
type of I/O being connected.
The Universal Analog I/O module consists of a Universal Analog IS420YUAAS1A I/O
pack mounted on an IS410SUAAS1A terminal board. The ordering part number is
IS430SSUAH1A (complete Universal Analog I/O module). The module is only available in a
Simplex configuration.
Sixteen Simplex Analog channels can be configured individually as any of the following
types: Thermocouple (TC), Resistance Temperature Device (RTD), voltage input (± 5 V or ±
10 V), 4 to 20 mA current input, 0 to 20 mA current output, pulse accumulator, digital input
(DI), and digital output (DO). Highway Addressable Remote Transducer (HART®) is optional
for all internally powered mA input modes. There are two connections per Analog channel
that provide I/O signal + and return for the mA output mode, which also supports HART.
The YUAA I/O pack supports several types of digital (discrete) inputs and outputs, as
enabled by the configuration, including: digital input modes of NAMUR, and externally
wetted, internally wetted, and digital outputs using mA outputs and interposing relays.
The Universal Analog I/O module also supports a simple Pulse Accumulator input that
counts pulse edges on an input channel across a specified threshold voltage up to a
limited frequency.
The following table provides the specifications for the Universal Analog I/O module. For
more information on the YUAA I/O pack and the SUAAS1A terminal board, refer to the
chapter “PUAA, YUAA Universal I/O Modules” in the document Mark VIe and Mark VIeS
Control Systems Volume II System Guide for General-purpose Applications (GEH-6721_Vol_II).

 Mark* VIeS Functional Safety System

Analog I/O Module

The Mark* VIeS Functional Safety Analog Input / Output (I/O) module provides an
interface between the process analog sensors / actuators (10 analog inputs and two
analog outputs) and the Mark VIeS Safety control logic. The Analog I/O module consists
of two orderable parts: the Analog I/O pack and the Analog I/O terminal board. All safety
Analog I/O modules use the same Analog I/O pack, IS420YAICS1B. There are two DIN-rail
mounted Analog I/O terminal boards available to provide the necessary redundancy and
terminal block styles. Users can select the configuration that best addresses their needs
for availability and SIL level. The Analog I/O module is available in both Simplex and Triple
Modular Redundant (TMR) configurations. This document discusses the Simplex Analog
I/O (IS410STAIS2A) terminal board and the TMR Analog I/O (IS410TBAIS1C) terminal board.
TMR Simplex
In a TMR configuration, the controller selects the median analog input values returned
by the TMR I/O pack(s) (thus rejecting a high or low out of range value) and the I/O pack
electronics combine the analog outputs with a patented circuit design that rejects a bad
performing I/O pack.
Simplex Analog I/O (STAI) Terminal Board
The STAI terminal board is a compact analog input terminal board that accepts 10 analog
inputs and two analog outputs, and connects to the YAIC I/O pack. The 10 analog inputs
accommodate two-wire, three-wire, four-wire, or externally powered transmitters. The
analog outputs are configured for 0 to 20 mA. An on-board ID chip identifies the board to
the I/O pack for system diagnostic purposes.
TMR Analog I/O (TBAI) Terminal Board
The TBAI terminal board is an analog input terminal board used in TMR and Simplex
configurations that supports 10 analog inputs and two outputs, and connects to the YAIC
I/O pack. The 10 analog inputs accommodate two-wire, three-wire, four-wire, or externally
powered transmitters. The analog outputs can be configured for 0 to 20 mA. Inputs and
outputs have noise suppression circuitry to protect against surge and high frequency noise.
The TBAI has three DC-37 pin connectors for three TMR I/O packs or one Simplex I/O pack.
The Analog I/O Terminal Board with YAIC I/O Pack Specifications table provides the
specifications for the Analog I/O terminal boards available for use in the Mark VIeS
Functional Safety System. For more information on the YAIC I/O pack and the STAI
and TBAI terminal boards, refer to the chapter “PAIC, YAIC Analog I/O Modules” in the
document Mark VIe and Mark VIeS Control Systems Volume II System Guide for General-
purpose Applications (GEH-6721_Vol_II).

The Mark* VIe and Mark VIeS Functional Safety UCSC controller is a compact, stand-alone
controller that runs application-specific control system logic. It can be used in a diverse
range of applications, from small industrial controllers to large combined-cycle power
plants. The UCSC controller is a base-mounted module, with no batteries, no fans, and no
hardware configuration jumpers. All configuration is done through software settings that
can be conveniently modified and downloaded using the Mark controls platform software
configuration application, ToolboxST*, running on a Microsoft© Windows© operating
system. The UCSC controller communicates with I/O modules (Mark VIe and Mark VIeS I/O
packs) through on-board I/O network (IONet) interfaces.
The Mark VIeS Safety controller, IS420UCSCS2A, is a dual core controller that runs the Mark
VIeS Safety control applications used for functional safety loops to achieve SIL 2 and SIL
3 capabilities. The Mark VIeS Safety product is used by operators that are knowledgeable
in safety-instrumented system (SIS) applications to reduce risk in safety functions. The
UCSCS2A controller can be configured for Simplex, Dual, and TMR redundancy.
The non-safety Mark VIe controller, IS420UCSCH1B, can be interfaced with the Safety
control system (through EGD protocol on UDH Ethernet port) as a controller for non-SIF
loops or as a simple communication gateway to provide data with OPC® UA Server or
Modbus® Master feedback signals, if needed by the application.
The following table provides the specifications for the UCSC controllers. For more

 Mark* VIeS Functional Safety System

Power Distribution Module

The Mark* VIe Power Distribution Module (PDM) offers a set of inter-connectable products
to provide core system power for control electronics and I/O contact wetting and wiring
protection within the control system. When using GE’s power distribution parts, users
benefit from the following features:
• Automatic power monitoring and diagnostics to the controller, which alerts operations
and maintenance teams and eliminates manual programming and extra I/O for power
monitoring
• Proven power distribution scheme with coordinated fault protection and isolation
• Segregation of control and contact wetting power to avoid field wiring issues from
damaging control components
• Flexible redundancy schemes for most applications that support Dual or TMR options
• Simplified power schemes to reduce panel fabrication, assembly, and test time and
shorten the panel build phase of projects
PDM products include:
• IS410JPDx series of DIN-rail mountable PDMs distribute control power and I/O wetting
power within the control system
• Power Distribution Diagnostic Feedback I/O pack (IS420PPDAH1B) monitors control
and wetting power and branch fusing. The PPDA I/O pack is mounted on either the
IS410JPDGH1A or IS410JPDSG1A.
• Prefabricated power cable harnesses interconnect PDMs and system control and I/O
components
The Mark VIe control system can support two or more independent sources of power. A
typical configuration uses two separate AC grid power feeds as primary sources to bulk
control and wetting supplies. An optional secondary power source could be a plant’s
24, 48, or 125 V dc station battery system, which is charged by the local AC grid. This
configuration keeps the control system powered during loss of AC power events and
(with station battery) can support black start operations. The Mark VIe approach provides
flexible, field-proven redundancy schemes for the power sources, power supplies, and
power cables to Simplex and Redundant I/O, eliminates custom engineered solutions,
and assures proper responses to failures in power delivery. The application designer can
select the appropriate system reliability and fault coverage.
The PDM configuration provides isolation between core control power and I/O wetting
power, protecting controller and I/O electronics from power surges or dips received from
noisy field I/O. The PDM’s built-in coordinated circuit protection isolates faults within the
system and prevents the spread of issues. Examples are in branch protection by fuses,
which prevents a module short from taking down supplies up stream. This also protects
wire insulation and connectors from exceeding safe temperatures.
The Power Distribution Module Specifications table provides specifications for the
IS410JPDx PDMs available for use in the Mark VIe and Mark VIeS control systems.
For information on applying the PDM product line in a Mark VIeS Functional Safety control
system, as well as information on power configuration architectures, redundancy, power
supplies, and cable harnesses, refer to the document Mark VIeS Functional Safety Control
Systems Power Distribution Modules (PDM) Application Guide for General Market (GEI-100861).
For additional details on each PDM and the PPDA I/O pack, refer to the chapter “PDM
Power Distribution Modules” in the document Mark VIe and Mark VIeS Control Systems
Volume II System Guide for General-purpose Applications (GEH-6721_Vol_II).
