Functional Description

304A8483G9 is an EEPROM Module developed by GE. It is a part of Mark IV series. Provides ample memory capacity (8Kx8) for storing configurations, settings, and operational data. Designed for seamless operation within the Mark IV system.

Features

• EEPROM Memory: The module is equipped with 8Kx8 EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory), providing non-volatile storage for crucial system data.
  The EEPROM ensures that stored information remains intact even when the power is turned off, offering high reliability in critical operations.
• Mark IV Series Integration: Specifically designed for the Mark IV Control System, the module seamlessly integrates into GE’s robust and scalable industrial control infrastructure.
• The Mark IV series is known for its reliability and advanced capabilities in managing turbines and other industrial processes.
• Reliable Performance: The module ensures consistent performance, supporting the accurate storage and retrieval of operational data required for smooth and efficient system functioning.
• Compact Design: Built with a compact and durable design, the module is suitable for harsh industrial environments. Its form factor allows for easy installation and replacement, minimizing downtime during maintenance or upgrades.
• Efficient Storage: Provides ample memory capacity (8Kx8) for storing configurations, settings, and operational data.

System Features

• The Mark IV control system significantly enhances turbine reliability by increasing the mean time before a turbine-forced outage caused by the control system by tenfold. This improvement is achieved through the use of distributed microprocessors.
• In the event of a failure in one of the electronic sections, the turbine remains operational under the control of the remaining sections. The failed section can be diagnosed, repaired, and restored to service while the gas turbine continues to run. This ensures the system's fault tolerance is quickly returned to its original level.
• To meet constraints on manufacturing costs and panel size, a new approach was required due to the increased computing power demanded by the system’s redundancy. This challenge was addressed by carefully modularizing the hardware, enabling a single, versatile control panel to support all turbine types and applications.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is 304A8483G9?
It is an EEPROM Module developed by GE.

How does the Mark IV system improve turbine reliability?
The system increases the mean time before a turbine forced outage caused by control failures tenfold. This is achieved through fault-tolerant design, where distributed microprocessors allow the turbine to remain operational even if one electronic section fails.

Is the Mark IV control system fault-tolerant?
Yes, the Mark IV system is designed for fault tolerance. If a failure occurs in one section, the remaining sections maintain turbine operation, ensuring minimal disruption.

Why is distributed microprocessor technology used in the Mark IV system?
Distributed microprocessors enhance reliability and fault tolerance by allowing the system to function even when a section fails. Enabling real-time diagnostics and repair without halting turbine operations.
