Structure and Composition

• Input Terminal Block: Provides physical connection to field sensors, usually using screw terminals or pluggable terminal blocks for easy wiring and maintenance.
• Signal Conditioning Circuit:
  • Filter Circuit: RC filter network to eliminate high-frequency noise interference.
  • Amplification/Attenuation Circuit: Scales signals according to input type (e.g., 4-20mA or 0-10V).
  • Isolation Circuit: Uses optocoupler or transformer isolation technology to ensure electrical isolation between channels and at the system level.
  • Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC): Converts conditioned analog signals to digital signals for processing by the Mark IV controller.
• Logic Control Unit: A microcontroller or programmable logic device (PLD) responsible for signal processing timing and communication protocol management.
• Status Indicators (LEDs): Display power, channel status, and fault information for quick diagnosis.
• Backplane Connector: Gold finger interface that connects to the Mark IV rack backplane to obtain power and transmit data.
• Metal Enclosure: Provides EMI shielding and mechanical protection, meeting industrial environment requirements.

Key Features and Advantages

• High-Precision Signal Processing:
  Uses precision resistors, low-drift operational amplifiers, and high-resolution ADC to ensure signal acquisition accuracy of ±0.1% F.S., meeting the stringent requirements of gas turbine control.
  Supports multiple input signal types (4-20mA, RTD, thermocouple, etc.) to adapt to different sensor needs.
• Excellent Anti-Interference Capability:
  1500V AC channel isolation effectively suppresses ground loop interference and common-mode noise, suitable for power plant environments with strong electromagnetic interference.
  Built-in filter circuit eliminates the impact of high-frequency noise on signals.
• Modularity and High Reliability:
  As a standard Mark IV card, it supports hot swapping (when allowed by the system) for convenient maintenance and reduced downtime.
  Industrial-grade components and rigorous testing ensure a long service life (MTBF > 100,000 hours).
• Seamless Integration with Mark IV System:
  Natively compatible with GE Mark IV controllers (e.g., IC6600 series) without additional configuration.
  Efficiently collaborates with other system modules (such as IC3600ALTC) through the backplane bus.
• Adaptability to Harsh Environments:
  Operating temperature range of 0°C to +60°C adapts to extreme working conditions in power plant control rooms.
  Vibration-resistant design meets mechanical stability standards for industrial equipment.

Application Fields

• Power Generation Industry:
  Monitoring of gas turbine combustion chamber temperature and exhaust temperature.
  Signal conditioning for steam turbine bearing vibration and lubricating oil pressure.
• Oil and Gas Industry:
  Acquisition of process variables (pressure, flow) in compressor stations.
  Analog input processing for pump protection systems.
• Industrial Drives:
  Condition monitoring and control of large motors and fans.

Installation and Maintenance

• Pre-Installation Preparation:
  Confirm that the Mark IV rack is powered off (or supports hot swapping) and wear an anti-static wristband.
  Check that the module model matches the drawings and ensure the target slot has no physical damage.
  Use a multimeter to verify that the supply voltage (+5V DC, ±15V DC) is normal.
• Maintenance Recommendations:
  Regularly check the tightness of terminal blocks to prevent signal drift caused by loosening.
  Calibrate critical channels with a precision signal source (once a year) to ensure measurement accuracy.
  Clean the module’s heat dissipation holes to avoid dust accumulation affecting heat dissipation.
  When replacing the module, record the serial number and back up configuration parameters.
