Series: Mark I and II

Functional Description

IC3600QOXC2/RR is an Overspeed Sensor Card developed by GE Fanuc. It is a part of mark I and II control systems. These system monitors and control turbine speed, which is critical for maintaining safe and efficient operation. The overspeed sensor card plays a vital role in detecting and managing turbine overspeed conditions, protecting the turbine from potential damage due to excessive rotational speed.

Features

• The primary function is to monitor the speed of a turbine and detect when the turbine exceeds its safe operational speed limits. When an overspeed condition is detected, the card sends a signal to the control system to initiate protective actions, such as shutting down the turbine to prevent damage or catastrophic failure.
• By continuously monitoring the turbine’s speed, this card acts as a critical safety mechanism in gas turbine systems. It ensures that any potentially dangerous overspeed conditions are quickly addressed, minimizing the risk of mechanical failure and ensuring the overall safety of the power generation process.
• Specifically designed to integrate with GE Speedtronic Mark I and Mark II control systems, which were among the first digital control systems developed for gas turbines. These systems are used to automate and control various turbine functions, including startup, shutdown, and speed control. The overspeed sensor card is a key component in these control systems, ensuring accurate speed regulation and protection.
• Capable of high-speed monitoring, enabling it to detect even the smallest variations in turbine speed in real-time. This allows the card to respond quickly to overspeed conditions, ensuring that protective actions can be taken without delay.
• The card is equipped with signal processing capabilities that allow it to analyze speed data from the turbine and communicate with the central control system. If the turbine speed exceeds the predefined limit, the overspeed sensor card sends a signal to the control system to initiate protective actions.
• It may include both analog and digital output options, providing flexible communication with other system components. This allows the overspeed sensor card to be integrated into various types of control systems, ensuring compatibility and adaptability across different industrial setups
