GE IC752SPL014 LS2100, Keypad Assembly, no bezel

الوصف

The GE part number IC752SPL014 is a Keypad Assembly used as a human-machine interface (HMI) for GE’s LS2100 Static Starter Exciter systems. The “no bezel” designation means the unit is designed to be mounted from the inside of a panel rather than the front, and it lacks the cosmetic trim (bezel) that would be visible on a front-mounted unit.

Function and Key Features

This keypad assembly is a crucial component for monitoring and controlling the static starter and exciter systems in a power plant.

• 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 and Static Starter Control: It serves as the local control point for the LS2100 system, which is a combined static starter and exciter. This system is responsible for starting large gas turbines and generators and then managing the generator’s field to regulate its output voltage.
• 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.
• No Bezel: The “no bezel” feature is a mechanical design choice. It is intended for applications where the unit is integrated directly into a control cabinet door or a larger panel, with the display and keypad buttons sitting flush with the panel surface.
• Robust Design: Like other GE industrial control products, it’s built to withstand the harsh conditions of a power plant.

Applications

The IC752SPL014 is a legacy component primarily found in power generation facilities. It’s used in:

• Power Generation: It’s a key part of the control system for large generators in power plants, ensuring that the generator’s output is stable and reliable.
• Turbine Startup: It provides a critical tool for operators to manage the static starter during the turbine’s startup sequence.
