The GE DS3815PDLA is a HMHA-Data DPL card for the GE Speedtronic Mark IV turbine control system. Its function is to handle data processing and transmission for the system’s human-machine interface (HMI). The “DPL” likely stands for “Data Processing and Logic.” This card acts as a communication interface, formatting data from the main processor for display and accepting user inputs to send back to the control system. It’s a key component in enabling operator interaction with the turbine’s control system.
Function and Purpose
- Data Processing: The DS3815PDLA processes data from the main control modules, such as the DS3800HCDA and other I/O cards. It then formats this data for display on an HMI, which can be a CRT monitor or a graphical display unit.
- User Interface: This card allows the operator to send commands to the turbine control system. It takes user inputs from a keyboard or a mouse and translates them into a format that the main processor can understand and act upon.
- Communication Bridge: It serves as a bridge between the core control logic and the operator interface. By handling this communication, it offloads the main processor, allowing it to focus on critical, real-time control functions.
Related Components
- HMHA (Human Machine Interface) Boards: The DS3815PDLA works directly with other HMHA boards to manage the display and input functions.
- Processor Cards: The card communicates with the main processor, like the DS3800HCDA, to exchange data and commands.
- Backplane Cards: It plugs into the system’s backplane (e.g., the DS3800XCIB), which provides it with power and a data bus to communicate with other modules.
