GE IC3600DLIL1 DIO INTERFACE

الوصف

The GE IC3600DLIL1 is a Digital I/O (DIO) Interface Card from the Mark I/II Speedtronic series. It serves as a crucial link between the turbine’s digital sensors and actuators and the digital control system.

Technical Breakdown 🧠

The primary function of the IC3600DLIL1 is to handle digital input and output signals. In a turbine control system, digital signals are used to indicate on/off status from devices like limit switches and pressure switches (inputs) and to send on/off commands to devices like solenoid valves and relays (outputs). This card’s role is to convert these high-voltage, noisy field signals into a clean, low-voltage format that the control system’s processors can read and interpret, and vice-versa.

The IC3600 series number points to an older, but still reliable, system architecture. This card is a vital part of the I/O chain, ensuring that the control system receives and transmits accurate, clean data from the field.

Applications 🏭

The IC3600DLIL1 is a foundational component in early GE turbine control panels for:

• Sensing Status: Reading status signals from field devices like limit switches on valves and pressure switches.
• Controlling Actuators: Sending on/off commands to devices like solenoid valves that control fuel or hydraulic fluid.
• System Interlocking: Providing signals for safety interlocks and logical control sequences.
• Alarm Monitoring: Reading signals from alarm switches and fault detectors.
