GE DS200QTBAG2A MKV,(R-S-T) Terminal Board

The board’s function is foundational to the Mark V’s renowned fault tolerance and reliability:

  • TMR Architecture (R-S-T): The Mark V system uses three identical processors—R, S, and T—that simultaneously execute the same control software. The outputs of these processors are continuously voted on. If one output deviates from the other two, the system can identify and isolate the faulty processor while continuing to operate without interruption. The DS200QTBAG2A is the physical board that ensures the same, identical signals from field devices are distributed to all three processors.
  • Terminal Board: This board provides the physical termination points for a wide range of field wiring, including signals from sensors (like thermocouples and pressure transmitters) and signals to actuators (like solenoids and relays). The use of screw terminals ensures a robust and reliable connection for a large number of I/O points.
  • Essential I/O Interface: The board serves as the crucial link between the real-world operational environment of the turbine and the digital logic of the Mark V. Its integrity is essential for the TMR system to receive consistent and accurate data, which is necessary for the voting logic to function correctly and maintain uninterrupted control of the turbine.
