The GE DS3810RAMC is a Universal Memory Card for the GE Speedtronic Mark IV turbine control system. It provides additional memory capacity and flexible memory management for the system’s processor, which is crucial for handling complex control logic and data logging.
Function and Purpose
A universal memory card in an industrial control system is a modular memory unit designed to provide expanded storage for programs, configuration data, and operational logs. In the Mark IV system, the DS3810RAMC is not the main processor, but rather a support card that the processor uses for memory-intensive tasks. Its “universal” nature means it can be configured for different memory functions and data management requirements. This design allows technicians to upgrade or expand the system’s memory without having to replace the entire control cabinet.
Key Features
- Expanded Memory: Provides additional RAM (Random Access Memory) for the main processor to execute complex control algorithms and store real-time data.
- Versatility: The “universal” designation indicates it can be used for various memory functions, which may include data storage, program backup, or as working memory for the processor.
- System Integration: It plugs into the system’s backplane (e.g., the DS3800XCIB) to communicate with the main processor card (like the DS3800HCDA) and other I/O cards.
- Durability: As an industrial-grade component, it is designed to withstand the harsh conditions of a turbine environment, including vibrations, temperature fluctuations, and electrical noise.
Related Components
- GE DS3800HCDA: The main processor card that uses the DS3810RAMC for memory functions.
- GE DS3810MMBB: Another Universal Memory Board used in the Mark IV series. The DS3810RAMC is likely an upgraded version or an alternative to this card.
- Backplane Cards: Cards like the DS3800XCIB provide the physical and electrical connections for the memory card.
