الوصف
The GE part number IC3600SLEH2 is a Logic Element Card. This is a circuit board that contains the fundamental logic components of a control system. It’s used in industrial applications, particularly within legacy turbine control systems like the GE Mark I-II series, to perform a variety of logical operations.
Function and Key Features
The IC3600SLEH2 is a specialized board designed to execute logical tasks within a larger control system. It is essentially a “building block” for control logic, rather than a standalone processor.
- Logical Operations: The card contains an array of logic gates (e.g., AND, OR, NOT) that perform logical calculations on input signals and generate a resulting output. For example, it could be programmed to trigger an output if, and only if, multiple specific conditions from different sensors are met.
- Conditional Control: By using these logic elements, the card can make decisions based on real-time inputs. This enables it to perform conditional control functions, where a specific action is taken only when certain predefined criteria are fulfilled.
- Modularity: As a separate, dedicated card, the IC3600SLEH2 contributes to a modular system design. This allows for specific functions to be modified, added, or replaced without having to re-engineer the entire control system.
- Robust Design: Like all GE industrial control boards, it’s built to withstand the harsh conditions of a power plant or industrial facility, including vibration, temperature fluctuations, and electromagnetic interference, ensuring reliable performance in demanding environments.
Applications
The IC3600SLEH2 is used in any industrial setting where conditional or sequenced control is required.
- Power Plants: It’s used to implement specific protective logic, such as ensuring a piece of equipment cannot start unless a safety interlock is engaged.
- Industrial Processes: It can be found in manufacturing processes to control the sequence of operations or to implement safety systems. For example, it might ensure a machine doesn’t start unless all its safety gates are closed.
