The GE DS200TBPXG1A is a Proximity Signal Buffer Module for the Mark V series of turbine control systems. It is not a modern PLC module, but an obsolete circuit board that acts as an interface for proximity sensor signals.
Key Features and Function
- Proximity Signal Buffering: The board’s primary function is to receive and buffer signals from proximity probes or sensors. These sensors are used to measure the position, vibration, or speed of a rotating shaft, which is critical for the safe and efficient operation of a turbine.
- Signal Conversion: The board converts the analog signals from the proximity probes into a digital format that can be processed by the main control processors of the Mark V system.
- Mark V Series: This board is a component of the GE Speedtronic Mark V series, a legacy control system widely used in the power generation industry. The system is known for its high reliability and triple-redundant processors for critical functions.
- Obsolete Status: As a component of the discontinued Mark V series, the DS200TBPXG1A is considered an obsolete part. It is no longer manufactured by GE and is typically sourced from new old stock, surplus vendors, or specialized repair and refurbishment companies.
- Diagnostic LEDs: The board includes diagnostic LEDs that provide visual status of the incoming signals, which is helpful for troubleshooting and maintenance.
