Technical Questions & Answers

• What is the difference between UCSC and traditional controllers?
• UCSC controllers operate without backplane I/O hosting, using distributed I/O over IONet instead of local I/O modules.
• How does the virtual network feature work?
• The hypervisor creates virtual networks between VMs, enabling secure data exchange between Mark VIe control and EFA components.
• What redundancy configurations are supported?
• The controller supports simplex, dual, and TMR (Triple Modular Redundancy) configurations for different safety requirements.
• What is the purpose of the Embedded Field Agent?
• EFA enables Predix cloud connectivity and web applications while maintaining separation from critical control functions.
• How are the Ethernet ports allocated for different functions?
• Three IONet ports handle I/O communications, ENET1/2 manage network data, and a dedicated port provides cloud connectivity.
