الوصف
The GE IS200ECTBG1ADE Exciter Contact Terminal Board (ECTB) is a specialized Printed Circuit Board (PCB) used exclusively in the GE EX2100 Excitation Control System.1
Its primary function is to serve as the field-wiring interface for both contact inputs (status/alarms) and contact outputs (trip/control relays) within the excitation control cabinet.2
🧠 Key Features and Functionality
The G1 designation in the part number, IS200ECTBG1ADE, signifies that this board is designed only for redundant (TMR – Triple Modular Redundant) control systems (using M1, M2, and C controllers).3 The simplex version is typically designated with G2.4
Contact Outputs (Controlled by EMIO)
The outputs on the ECTB are controlled by the EMIO (Exciter Multiple I/O) board in the controllers, ensuring precise and timely response.5
- Trip Contact Outputs: Features two trip outputs designed to drive customer lockout mechanisms.6
- General Purpose Outputs: Includes four general-purpose Form-C relay contact outputs (Form-C means they have common, normally open, and normally closed terminals).7 These are often used for general auxiliary control, such as 94EX and 30EX outputs.8
- Note: For redundant operation, the control signal to these outputs is subject to a two-out-of-three voting circuit for enhanced reliability.9
Contact Inputs (Wetted and Monitored)
The board processes digital inputs from the field, which are vital for system monitoring and protection:
- Auxiliary Contact Inputs: Equipped with six auxiliary contact inputs supplied by the customer.10
- Specialized Monitoring: Monitors critical contacts, such as the 52G (Generator Circuit Breaker) and 86G (Generator Lockout) contacts.11
- Contact Wetting: All contact inputs are actively wetted (powered) by the ECTB with a nominal 70 V DC supply (sourced redundantly from the M1 and M2 power supplies in this G1 version).12 This wetting voltage ensures reliable contact closure and detection.
- The status of these contacts drives a red indicating LED on the board.13
🛠️ Design and Interface
| Feature | Details |
| System Compatibility | GE EX2100 Excitation Control System (Redundant TMR Mode) |
| Processor Interface | Connects to the EMIO boards (M1, M2, and C) via three D-shell connectors (J405, J408, and J415). |
| Mounting | Typically rack-mounted in the Exciter Cabinet. |
| Field Connections | Uses terminal strips and three-position plugs for field wiring connections. |
| Voltage Source | Requires a nominal 24 V DC input voltage for its own operation. |
The ECTB board is fundamental to integrating the EX2100 controller with the generator’s auxiliary protective and status equipment.
