Functional Description
DS3820PSCC1D1B is a Power Supply Unit developed by GE. It is part of the Mark IV control system. The Mark IV series features integrated microprocessors that utilize distributed control functions to oversee critical turbine operations, including start-up, temperature regulation, speed control, shutdown, and protection against vibration, high pressure, and loss of flame.
Features
- This unit is designed to provide a stable output of +28.00 V at a current of 6.0 A, ensuring reliable power delivery
- Housed in a rectangular frame designed for both functionality and accessibility. The housing includes several rectangular cutouts that serve dual purposes: they facilitate heat dissipation and provide access for technicians to the components mounted within the frame.
- It also features multiple holes for mounting various components and flanges with screw holes or tabs for securing the unit to other equipment.
- Terminal Strips include two terminal strips that are not connected to any printed circuit board (PCB). These terminal strips feature screw-type connections, enabling multiple circuits to be interconnected or connected to other circuits.
- The boards are populated with trim potentiometers for fine adjustments and TP (test point) locations for diagnostic purposes.
- Spare plated through-holes (PTH) are also present for additional component installation or modifications.
- It includes several amplifiers, with some surrounded by heat sinks to manage thermal dissipation and ensure stable performance.
Software Design
- Given that certain components of the software, such as start-up and shut-down sequencing, are frequently modified to suit different operational scenarios, the software design must support easy and efficient modifications without compromising system integrity or performance.
- Configuring a unique set of software to meet high reliability objectives presents a challenge. The software must be robust enough to handle the specific demands of each installation while maintaining consistent performance across all operational conditions.
- Achieving high reliability involves rigorous testing and validation processes to ensure that the software can operate under various scenarios and maintain the turbine control system's stability and efficiency.
- The Mark IV employs a fault-tolerant, redundant processor design to enhance system reliability and ensure continuous operation even in the presence of partial failures.
- This design necessitates a carefully engineered communication system that can handle and properly manage data exchanges between processors, despite potential faults or disruptions.
- Ensuring that the communication system functions effectively in the presence of partial failures is crucial for maintaining the overall system's reliability and performance.
