GE IS200VSVOH1B MKVI, VME Servo Card

The VSVOH1B is a crucial component for achieving tight and accurate control over turbine operation. Its main functions include:

  • Servomotor Control: The card generates the necessary output signals to drive a servomotor, which in turn controls the position of a valve or actuator. This is essential for functions like controlling fuel valves, where very precise adjustments are required to maintain the turbine’s speed and load.
  • Closed-Loop Control: The VSVOH1B operates as part of a closed-loop control system. It receives a command signal from the main Mark VI controller and uses a feedback signal from a position sensor on the actuator to ensure that the actuator moves to the commanded position. The card performs the necessary Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control calculations to achieve this.
  • High-Resolution Output: The card features a high-resolution Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) to produce an analog output signal for the servomotor driver. This ensures a high degree of precision in the actuator’s position.
  • VMEbus Interface: The card plugs directly into the VME backplane of a Mark VI rack. This allows for high-speed communication with the main controller and other I/O cards in the system, which is necessary for the rapid response times required for turbine control.
  • TMR Support: The IS200VSVOH1B supports Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) systems. In a TMR setup, three separate VSVO cards are installed, each receiving the same command. The system then uses a voting process to ensure accuracy and reliability, which is critical for safety and performance.
