1 Introduction
The Mark* VIe I/O modules are applied in systems for turbine and plant controls. Its I/O
modules reflect this diversity with a wide range of types and the flexibility to distribute
them individually or in clusters. This document describes the general-purpose I/O
modules that are available for all applications. Other modules are available for
applications specific to turbine controls and safety controllers.

Note Refer to GEH-6721_Vol_II, Mark VIe Control, Volume II System Hardware Guide
for more detailed information.

2 Packaging
I/O modules consist of an I/O pack mounted on a terminal board. The I/O pack contains a
local processor with a QNX operating system and a data acquisition board. The terminal
board contains a terminal block for field wiring and passive circuits that connect the
terminal block to the I/O pack. Terminal blocks can be removed from the I/O module with
field wiring attached in the unlikely event of a failure of the passive circuits on the
module.
contain two 24 point, barrier type, pluggable, terminal blocks. Each point can accept two
2.05 mm (0.081 in) #12 AWG wires with 300 V insulation per point with ring type lugs.
In addition, captive clamps are provided for terminating bare wires. Screw spacing is 9.53
mm (0.375 in) minimum, center-to-center. T-type modules are normally base mounted
and support multiple I/O packs.
S-type modules have box type terminal blocks that accept one 2.05 mm2 (0.081 in2) #12
AWG wire, or two 1.63 mm2 (0.064 in2) #14 AWG) wires with 300 V insulation per
point. Screw spacing is 5.08 mm (0.2 in) minimum, center-to-center. S-type modules are
DIN-rail and base mounted and support one I/O pack.

For public disclosure
3 Communications
Each I/O pack has two RJ-45, 100 MB Ethernet ports for communication with the I/O
network switches and the controllers. These can be used for network redundancy, such as
dual redundant controllers communicating with a single I/O pack. If an I/O module
contains two or three I/O packs, then each pack can be configured to communicate with
one or two networks.
If an application requires exceptional speed, packs can be configured for peer-to-peer
communication on the I/O network for a quick response. Communication rules conform
to IEEE 802.3 u for 100 MB Ethernet with a star topology and category 5 or fiber
connectivity. Up to 199 I/O packs are supported on each network and can be located up to
300 m (984 ft) from network switches with category 5 wire.

4 Diagnostics
Each I/O pack transmits diagnostic messages to the controllers and contains local status
LEDs. There are application-specific LEDs, such as those used for status indication of
discrete inputs and six generic LEDs, on all packs including:

Power (PWR): green when power is applied (18-32 V dc)

Attention (ATTN): red
Off: no fault
Solid: critical fault that prevents pack communication
Fast flash: alarm connected to wrong module or software loading error
Medium flash: pack is not online
Slow flash: manual request to flash to identify pack location
Link (LINK): green when I/O network communication established (quantity 2)
Transmit / Receive (TxRx): yellow when transmitting/ receiving data (quantity 2)
In addition, each terminal board contains a read-only ID chip with the board serial
number, board type, revision number, and the connector location.
