Direct access to the GE Mark V Turbine with MatrikonOPC Servers

EDMONTON, AB. October 22, 2007
MatrikonOPC is pleased to announce the release of the MatrikonOPC Server for GE Mark V Direct. Unlike other OPC Servers on the market today, the MatrikonOPC Server for GE Mark V provides a high performance, TCI-independent link to the Mark V and is capable of sub-second scan rates with a very user friendly configuration.

The economic and performance benefits that the MatrikonOPC Server for GE Mark V offers are very impressive. The OPC Server’s robust ability to provide high sample rate data from a turbine controller enables users to complete more accurate calculations and ultimately leads to a more efficiently tuned turbine. A more efficiently, and higher functioning turbine, means more energy output while using less energy to generate a highly tuned rotation.

The benefits of the MatrikonOPC Server GE Mark V Direct are:

Freedom of choice of HMI vendor selection

Auto detection of compatible ARCNET cards

Automatic configuration of controller and tag lists using configuration files present in the TCI PC.

High performance link capable of transferring many tags at sub-second update rates.

Access to all tags in the MarkV

OPC tags containing valuable MarkV controller load and status information.
