    GE Mark V Overview

    The document discusses a SIFT-based triple-modular redundant control system that can tolerate one failed sensor of each type. It works by having each controller measure all input sensors so each value is represented numerically. During voting, the controller with a failed sensor initially has a bad value but can exchange data with other controllers to reject the bad value. The common controller is also connected to the voter link to eavesdrop on values and report any disagreements to the operator for attention and maintenance.

    Improved methods of implementing the triple-modular redundant system center on

    SIFT technology and result in a more robust control. SIFT involves exchanging
    information on the voter link directly between <R>, <S>, <T> and <C> controllers.
    Each control processor measures all of its input sensors so that each sensor signal is
    represented by a number in the controller. The sensor numbers to be voted are gathered
    in a table of values. The basic SIFT concept brings one sensor of each kind into each of
    <R>, <S> and <T>. If a sensor fails, the controller with the failed transducer initially
    has a bad value. But it exchanges data with the other processors and when the voting
    takes place, the bad value is rejected. Therefore, a SIFT-based system can tolerate one
    failed transducer of each kind. In previous systems, one failed transducer was likely to
    cause one processor to vote to trip.
    A failure of a different kind of transducer on another controller could cause a turbine
    trip. This does not happen with SIFT because the input data is exchanged and voted.
    <C> is also connected to the voter link. It eavesdrops while all three sets of variables
    are transmitted by the control processors and calculates the voted values for itself. If
    there are any significant disagreements, <C> reports them to <I> for operator attention
    and maintenance action. If one of the transducers has failed, its output will not be
    correct and there will be a disagreement with the two correct values. <C> will then
    diagnose that the transducer or parts immediately associated with it have failed and will
    post an alarm to <I>.

    2.2 Mark V Data Communication Networks

    Figure 1. Mark V Network Communication


    Information is communicated, shared, and acted upon in the Mark V Control System via three separate
    networks :
    - The one external network, the Stage Link, is the primary means of communication between the
    Operator Interface (<I>) and the common data processor (<C>) of the control panel.
    - The data exchange network (DENET) is an ARCNET type communication network internal to the
    Mark V control panel. The function of the DENET is to provide a communication link between the
    internal processors of the control panel.
