GE EX2100e and EX2100 Excitation Controls Comparison ​Software

Software

The EX2100e uses the ToolboxST* application for

configuration and diagnostics and retains all attributes for

high-speed analysis of rotating machinery and the enhanced

look-and-feel of plant-level Distributed Control System

software. For example, the ToolboxST application can analyze

and configure I/O modules, controllers, networks, and

operator stations for generator controls, turbine controls, and

balance-of-plant controls to simplify maintenance.

Proven Technology

While controllers, networks, I/O modules, and software tools

are upgraded, the heart of the system remains the same.

Proven control and protection algorithms remain unchanged.

Similarly, mission-critical power bridge technology is carried

over from the EX2100 power conversion assemblies.

In addition, control cabinet footprints are unchanged and

compliance to international regulations and standards is retained.

Benefits

configuration

 Improved reliability and less spare parts inventory

 Less maintenance and on-going training costs with

common software tools

 Better life-cycle support with more compute power for

upgrades and simplified controller replacement

 Risk mitigation of new technology with proven algorithms

and power bridges
