الوصف

The GE DS200TCDAG1BCB is a specific revision of the Digital Input/Output ($\text{I/O}$) Printed Circuit Board ($\text{PCB}$), functionally known as $\text{TCDA}$, used in the $\text{Speedtronic Mark V}$ Turbine Control System.

This board is responsible for interfacing the main control processors with the plant’s digital (on/off) field devices.

⚙️ Key Function and Role

The primary purpose of the $\text{DS200TCDAG1BCB}$ ($\text{TCDA}$ board) is to process all digital input and output signals for the turbine control logic.

  • Digital Inputs (Contact Inputs): It receives $\text{24 V DC}$ digital signals from terminal boards ($\text{DTBA}$ and $\text{DTBB}$) which indicate the status of field devices such as:
    • Limit switches (e.g., valve position)
    • Pressure and temperature switches
    • Manual operator requests (e.g., start/stop pushbuttons)
    • Alarm acknowledgments
  • Digital Outputs (Contact Outputs): It transmits control signals to other boards (like the $\text{TCRA}$ board) which then energize relays and solenoids to activate or de-activate field devices such as:
    • Start/stop commands for auxiliary motors
    • Solenoid valves for fuel, lube oil, or trip systems
    • Panel indicator lights
  • Signal Communication: It uses a dedicated microprocessor to condition and transmit this digital data across the control system’s high-speed internal network, the $\text{IONET}$, to the redundant $\text{R}$, $\text{S}$, and $\text{T}$ control cores.

  • Location: The $\text{TCDA}$ board is typically housed in one of the Digital $\text{I/O}$ cores, such as $\text{Q11}$, $\text{Q21}$, or $\text{Q51}$, within the $\text{Mark V}$ cabinet.
  • Configuration: The board includes eight hardware jumpers ($\text{J1}$ through $\text{J8}$) which are used to set its $\text{IONET}$ address, termination resistors, and other configuration options.
  • Diagnostics: $\text{LED}$ indicators are present on the board to display power and diagnostic status for troubleshooting.

The $\text{DS200TCDAG1BCB}$ is a core component for the sequential and functional control of a gas or steam turbine governed by the $\text{Mark V}$ system.
