GE DS200TBPXG1A Proximity Signal Buffer Module

The primary function of the 2$\text{DS200TBPXG1A}$ is to condition, buffer, and terminate signals from proximity sensors before they are sent to the main control system logic.3

 

  • System Integration: It is part of the 4$\text{DS200}$ series of printed circuit boards, which are essential for interfacing field devices with the 5$\text{Mark V}$ control panels for gas and steam turbines.6

     

  • Signal Buffering: Proximity sensors (often eddy-current type) are critical for measuring rotor vibration, axial position, and speed in a turbine. These sensors output a relatively weak, high-impedance signal. The 7$\text{TBPX}$ board buffers (isolates and strengthens) and conditions this sensitive signal to ensure accurate and stable data transmission to the control processor, preventing signal degradation or interference.8

     

  • Termination Point: It serves as the physical termination point for the wiring coming directly from the proximity sensors in the field.

Technical Details

 

  • Product Series: 9$\text{GE}$ Mark V Speedtronic Turbine Control System.10

     

  • Part Type: Proximity Signal Buffer Module / Termination Board.11

     

  • Functional Acronym: TBPX (Termination Board – Proximity).12

     

  • Role in Control: By providing stable, buffered sensor data, this module is crucial for the turbine’s $\text{vibration monitoring}$, $\text{bearing protection}$, and overspeed protection logic.
  • Hardware: As a termination board, it typically features terminal blocks for field wiring connections, along with various connectors for ribbon cables that connect to the main input/output (I/O) boards and control processors within the $\text{Mark V}$ panel.
