The GE part number IC752SPL013 is a Keypad Assembly used as a human-machine interface (HMI) for GE’s EX2100 Excitation Control Systems. It provides operators with a way to interact with and manage the excitation system, which controls the voltage output of a generator.
Function and Key Features
This keypad assembly is a crucial component for monitoring and controlling the generator’s performance and stability.
- Operator Interface: The assembly provides a user-friendly interface for operators and technicians to monitor system status, view real-time data, and diagnose faults. It typically features a 12-button keypad and a 16-character alphanumeric display.
- Excitation Control: It serves as the local control point for the EX2100 excitation control system, which manages the field winding of a generator to regulate its output voltage. This is critical for ensuring stable power generation.
- Data and Diagnostics: The keypad allows for the display of various parameters, such as generator voltage, current, and speed. It can also be used to view alarms and fault messages, which helps in troubleshooting and maintenance.
- System Integration: The assembly connects to the main control board of the EX2100 system, where it receives data and sends commands.
- Robust Design: Like other GE industrial control products, it’s built to withstand the harsh conditions of a power plant.
Applications
The IC752SPL013 is a legacy component primarily found in power generation facilities. It’s used in:
- Excitation Systems: It’s a key part of the control system for large generators in power plants, ensuring the generator’s output is stable and reliable.
- Power Control: It provides a critical tool for operators to manage the generator’s performance and respond to changes in grid demand.
