GE IC3600QIXA40 Jumper Card

الوصف

The GE IC3600QIXA40 is a Jumper Card for the Mark I/II Speedtronic series. It’s a passive circuit board that provides specific electrical connections and routing on the control system’s backplane.

Technical Breakdown 🧠

A jumper card, also known as a bridge card, is a simple, non-active component. The IC3600QIXA40 does not perform any processing or control functions itself. Instead, it is configured with traces that physically connect specific pins and points on the backplane connector. This allows for customized signal routing and configuration options without the need for manual wiring on the backplane, which can be prone to error.

By using a specific jumper card like the IC3600QIXA40, a technician can quickly and reliably configure the system for a particular application, such as selecting a specific input source or enabling/disabling a function.

Applications 🏭

The IC3600QIXA40 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.
