GE DS3800XTBA Terminal Board Card

The primary role of the DS3800XTBA is to provide a robust physical interface between the electrical components in a harsh industrial environment (like sensors and actuators on a turbine) and the delicate electronic control cards of the Mark IV system. It ensures a reliable and secure termination point for field wiring, which is critical for maintaining signal integrity.

The “XT” in the part number often indicates a terminal board, while the “BA” typically refers to the specific configuration or function of that board. The DS3800XTBA also functions as an isolation module, which means it helps protect the system’s sensitive electronics from electrical faults and noise.


 

Key Features

 

  • Signal Termination: Provides a standardized, organized, and secure way to connect external wires to the system’s internal circuitry.
  • Electrical Isolation: Helps to prevent electrical faults, such as short circuits, from damaging other components in the system. This is a crucial safety feature in a turbine control system.
  • Robust Construction: Like all Mark IV series cards, it’s designed to withstand the rigors of an industrial environment, including extreme temperatures, humidity, and vibration.

Related Components

 

The DS3800XTBA works in conjunction with other cards in the Mark IV system. It typically connects to:

  • Processor Cards: Cards like the DS3800HCDA receive and process the signals that are routed through the terminal board.
  • Input/Output (I/O) Cards: Other I/O modules, which handle various types of signals (e.g., analog or digital), plug into the system’s backplane and communicate with the terminal board.
