- Wide Adaptability: Compatible with GE’s DIRECTO-MATIC 2000 series drives and exciters, suitable for gas turbines, steam turbines, wind power, oil energy, and other industrial scenarios.
Structure and Composition
- Core Circuit Board: 7-layer multi-layer PCB with a conformal coating on the surface to enhance environmental resistance.
- Microprocessor Array: Four microprocessors responsible for real-time control and communication tasks.
- Storage Unit: Includes multiple flash memory modules for program storage and EEPROM for parameter persistence.
- Interface Module: Provides RS-485, Ethernet, and multiple bus connection ports.
- Power Supply and Heat Dissipation: 24 V DC power input, equipped with heat sinks to ensure stable operation in high-temperature environments.
Typical Application Fields
- Power Plants: Drive and excitation control for gas turbines, steam turbines, and combined cycle systems.
- Oil and Gas Industry: Compressor drive, pump station control, and on-site monitoring.
- Wind Power Generation: Wind turbine drive control and remote diagnostics.
- Heavy Industries: Used for precise control and status monitoring of large motors and drive systems in chemical, paper, food and beverage industries.
Installation and Maintenance Points
Installation Preparation
- Verify the model and system compatibility, and ensure sufficient heat dissipation space inside the chassis.
- Check that the power supply voltage and grounding meet the specifications.
Mechanical Fixing
- Use original screws to fix the PCB on the rack to prevent solder joint loosening caused by vibration.
Wiring
- Correctly connect RS-485, Ethernet, and I/O ports according to the wiring diagram, and maintain good cable shielding to prevent electromagnetic interference.
Software Configuration
- Load the corresponding firmware and parameter files using the configuration tool provided by GE, and save them to EEPROM after on-site debugging.
Functional Self-Test
- After power-on, the on-board self-test program will light up the indicator lights to confirm that all microprocessors, communication interfaces, and power modules are working normally.
Regular Maintenance
- Check the tightness of connectors, clean dust, and measure the board temperature every 6 months.
- Use remote diagnostic functions to read fault logs and replace potentially aging components in advance.
Spare Parts Management
- Since this model has been discontinued, it is recommended to establish a spare parts inventory at the initial stage of the project to ensure quick replacement when needed.
