Functional Description

IC3600LING1A is a Turbine Control Card developed by GE Fanuc. It is a part of GE's Mark I and Mark II Speedtronic control systems. These systems were among the earliest digital turbine control platforms introduced by GE, laying the foundation for advanced automation in gas turbine operations.

Features

• This control card support system architecture that spans models from the LM2500 aeroderivative turbines to the MS9001 heavy-duty industrial turbines. The modular and adaptable design of the Speedtronic system enables it to be used effectively in various operational settings, such as:
  • Remote and unattended utility peaking gas turbines
  • Base-loaded industrial generator drives
  • Remote pipeline pumping stations
  • And other industrial turbine-driven processes
• The control system incorporates a network of sensors and servo actuators mounted directly on the turbine, allowing real-time input and output communication with the control unit. This setup facilitates precise control over turbine parameters, such as speed, temperature, and load.
• To ensure high reliability, critical control functions—particularly speed and temperature regulation—are redundant, reducing the risk of single-point failures. The use of electronic computation, in conjunction with high-resolution hydraulic servos, ensures fast response times, high accuracy, and minimal deadband during turbine operation.
• Moreover, the protective systems integrated within the Mark I and Mark II platforms operate largely independently from the main control system. These protective layers include additional redundancies to safeguard the turbine against potentially damaging operational anomalies, thereby ensuring safe and continuous machine performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is IC3600LING1A?
It is a Turbine Control Card developed by GE under Mark I and II series.

What makes the system reliable for turbine control?
The system emphasizes reliability through Redundancy in key control functions (like speed and temperature), High-resolution hydraulic servos, Fast response times with minimal deadband and Independent and redundant protective systems.

Can the card be integrated into newer systems?
The card is specifically designed for Mark I and Mark II Speedtronic systems and is not directly compatible with newer Mark VI or Mark VIe systems. However, legacy systems are often maintained due to their robustness and reliability.
