Why Choose Control System – Mark VIe Training Course?

Modern industrial facilities rely heavily on advanced control systems to ensure safe, reliable, and efficient operation of critical assets such as gas turbines, steam turbines, compressors, generators, and balance-of-plant systems. The Mark VIe Control System is a highly sophisticated, distributed control platform widely deployed in power generation and industrial applications, offering high availability, redundancy, and robust diagnostics.

Due to its complexity, effective use of the Mark VIe system requires a strong understanding of its architecture, hardware components, software configuration, control logic, communication networks, and system diagnostics. Improper configuration, limited system knowledge, or incorrect troubleshooting approaches can lead to unplanned downtime, safety risks, and significant operational losses.

This training course provides a comprehensive and practical understanding of the Mark VIe Control System, covering system architecture, hardware and software components, I/O configuration, control logic development, system operation, alarm management, diagnostics, and troubleshooting. The course emphasizes real-world operational scenarios, best practices, and hands-on understanding of how the system behaves during normal operations, startup, shutdown, and fault conditions.

By the end of this course, participants will be equipped with the skills required to operate, maintain, analyze, and troubleshoot Mark VIe control systems confidently and safely in live industrial environments.

What are the Goals?

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to: 

  • Understand the architecture and design philosophy of the Mark VIe system
  • Identify and explain major hardware and software components
