GE IC3600QIXA171 Jumper Card

الوصف

The GE IC3600QIXA171 is a Jumper Card for the Mark I/II Speedtronic series. It’s a non-active circuit board that serves to create specific electrical connections or bridge signals between different parts of the control system’s backplane.

Technical Breakdown 🧠

A jumper card is a simple, passive device. Unlike other cards that perform a specific electronic function (like amplification or power regulation), the IC3600QIXA171 is essentially a configuration tool. It has no active components; its purpose is to route signals, select options, or provide a physical connection to complete a circuit where needed.

Its use in the Mark I/II system allows for different configurations without the need to modify the main backplane or use individual jumpers and wires, making installation and maintenance cleaner and less prone to error.

Applications 🏭

The IC3600QIXA171 is a foundational component in GE Mark I/II turbine control panels for:

• System Configuration: Setting up the hardware to meet the requirements of a specific control scheme.
• Signal Routing: Directing signals from one part of the system to another.
• Troubleshooting: Used to bypass or connect circuits during system testing and diagnostics.
