Functional Description

DS200RTBAG1AFB is a relay terminal module developed by GE. It is a part of EX2000 system. It is designed to enhance the functionality of the system in which it is installed. This board introduces an additional ten relays, providing expanded control capabilities to the drivers within its designated cabinet.

Features

  • Relays act as pivotal elements, allowing for precise and targeted control over specific functions, enhancing the overall operational efficiency of the system. The strategic placement of this RTBA within the cabinet ensures that the relays seamlessly integrate into the system, providing a robust and reliable means of control.
  • One noteworthy feature is its compatibility with remote usage. This means that users have the flexibility to control and manipulate the relays remotely, offering a convenient and efficient means of managing the system even from a distance. This remote capability contributes to enhanced operational convenience, enabling users to make real-time adjustments or address system requirements without direct physical access to the equipment.
  • It exhibits compatibility with a LAN I/O Terminal Board (GE P/N 531X307LTB). This integration establishes a communication link between the RTBA and the LAN I/O terminal board, expanding the avenues for relay control. The GE P/N 531X307LTB serves as an interface, facilitating direct control over the relays. This connection allows for synchronized and coordinated relay operations, optimizing the overall performance of the system.

Hardware Overview

  • The control hardware forms a foundational aspect across various excitation types, demonstrating uniformity in its fundamental structure. Divergence occurs in the power conversion hardware, a critical element determined by specific application requirements. This power conversion hardware, in turn, dictates the exciter frame or bridge size, tailoring the system to meet the unique demands of each application.
  • The initial stage of the excitation process involves the collection of generator voltages and currents, which are then directed to the Potential Transformer (PT) and Current Transformer (CT). These transformers play a pivotal role in signal conditioning, acting as a bridge between the generator outputs and the subsequent control system. The PTCT (Potential Transformer and Current Transformer) functions as a signal conditioner, isolating and scaling the voltage and current signals received from the PTs and CTs.
  • Once conditioned, these signals are then directed to the Transducer and Control Circuit Board (TCCB). Within this board, voltage signals from the PTCT undergo a transformation into digital signals through the utilization of Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCO). This digital representation sets the stage for the transducering algorithms, sophisticated processes that leverage the transformed signals to calculate critical system information.
  • The information calculated by the transducering algorithms holds significant value as it serves as input for a multitude of functions within the excitation system. This includes regulator functions, which are responsible for maintaining a stable and consistent output, limiter functions that prevent the system from exceeding predefined limits, and protection functions that ensure the overall integrity and safety of the system.
  • In essence, the control hardware provides a standardized foundation, ensuring consistency across diverse excitation types. On the other hand, the power conversion hardware, determined by the specific needs of the application, intricately defines the exciter frame size. As the signals progress through the PTCT and TCCB, undergoing conditioning and transformation, they become a vital source of information for the transducering algorithms. This information, in turn, forms the basis for the effective operation of regulator, limiter, and protection functions, collectively contributing to the overall efficiency, stability, and safety of the excitation system.

Replacement Procedure

  • Power Off and Safety Checks: Turn off the power to the drive and wait for several minutes to allow all capacitors to discharge. Before proceeding, test any electrical circuits to ensure the power is off, reducing the risk of electrical hazards.
  • Access the Drive's Cabinet: Open the cabinet door of the drive to access the board. Typically, the RTBA board is located below the drive's board rack. Exercise caution while opening the cabinet door to avoid damaging any components.
  • Disconnect Cables: For ribbon cables, Grasp each side of the cable connector and gently pull it loose from the board connector. For cables with pull tabs, Carefully pull the tab to disconnect the cable. For wires attached to terminals, Loosen the screw at the top of each terminal and carefully remove each wire. Ensure that wires are labeled for easy reconnection. For two-conductor plugs (CP1PL−CP5PL and Y9PL−Y37PL), Press the connector lever to release the connector.
  • Remove the Board: Remove the four screws with washers that secure to the four standoffs. Carefully lift the board and remove it from the unit. Take care to avoid dropping any mounting hardware into the unit, as this could cause damage.
  • Configure the Replacement Board: Ensure that all configurable items on the replacement (new) board are set in the exact position as those on the old board being replaced. This ensures consistency and compatibility with the system configuration.
  • Install the New Board: Install the new board onto the four standoffs using the four screws and washers removed in step 4. Ensure that the board is securely fastened in place to prevent movement or vibration.
  • Reconnect Cables: Reconnect all cables that were disconnected in step 3, ensuring that each connector is properly seated at both ends. Verify that all connections are secure and tight to prevent any loose connections.
  • Reconnect Individual Wires: Reconnect all individual wires that were disconnected in step 3, ensuring that each wire is properly secured in the terminal as labeled. Double-check each connection to ensure proper seating and tightness.
