Omnivise T3000 architecture and redundancy
Omnivise T3000 is Siemens Energy’s distributed control system for power plants and industrial processes. It is the current evolution of the SPPA-T3000 platform and can integrate turbine control, auxiliaries, electrical systems and plant-wide operation on one control environment.
Do not apply GE Mark VI or Mark VIe terminology to a Siemens turbine. The R, S and T controller names and the associated Mark VIe I/O-pack architecture belong to a different OEM platform. A Siemens project must be read from its own system architecture, hardware configuration, function diagrams and protection documentation.
Omnivise T3000 supports scalable and redundant architectures, but the implemented redundancy depends on the unit, control-system release and project scope. Verify the actual automation servers or controllers, network paths, I/O subsystems and HMI servers from the site drawings before diagnosing a channel or claiming a voting arrangement.
Omnivise T3000 is Siemens Energy’s DCS; SPPA-T3000 is the established platform name; never reuse GE Mark VI R/S/T terminology; verify the project-specific redundancy and I/O architecture.
