The GE IS210DTTCH1AA is a Thermocouple Simplex Terminal Board for the Mark VIe series of GE’s Speedtronic Gas Turbine Control Systems. The DTTC in the part number stands for DIN-rail Thermocouple Terminal Card. This board is the physical interface for connecting multiple thermocouple sensors to the control system in a non-redundant (simplex) configuration.
Key Features and Functionality
The IS210DTTCH1AA is a crucial component for temperature monitoring in a turbine control system. Its main functions include:
- Thermocouple Interface: The board provides the physical connection points for multiple thermocouple sensors. Thermocouples are temperature sensors that generate a small voltage in proportion to the temperature difference between two dissimilar metals. The board is designed to handle this low-voltage signal.
- Cold Junction Compensation (CJC): The board includes circuitry for Cold Junction Compensation (CJC). This is essential for accurate thermocouple measurements, as it corrects for the ambient temperature at the point where the thermocouple wires connect to the board’s terminals.
- Simplex Configuration: The “Simplex” designation means this board is used in a non-redundant system. Unlike a TMR (Triple Modular Redundancy) system where three separate boards are used for voting, a simplex system uses a single board for each measurement point.
- DIN-Rail Mounting: The board’s design allows it to be mounted on a standard DIN rail, which is a common and efficient method for organizing and installing control system components in a cabinet.
- Application: The board is used for various temperature measurements throughout a turbine, such as bearing temperatures, combustion temperatures, and exhaust gas temperatures, which are essential for both control and protection.
