Functional Description

IS200TAMBH1ABB is an Acoustic Monitoring Terminal Board developed by GE. It is a part of Mark VI control system. It is a part of acoustic monitoring system, designed to enhance the safety and efficiency of operations by providing detailed acoustic data. This system provides comprehensive signal conditioning across 18 channels, ensuring accurate and reliable acoustic data collection. The acoustic monitoring system utilizes two nine-channel acoustic monitoring terminal boards, designated as TAMB. These boards are responsible for conditioning the signals received from various acoustic sensors, preparing them for further processing and analysis. Signal conditioning involves filtering, amplifying, and converting the raw sensor data into a format that can be easily analyzed by the control system.

Features

• The acoustic monitoring system integrates with an 18-channel I/O acoustic monitoring sub-assembly, designated as VAMB. This sub-assembly gathers and consolidates signals conditioned by the TAMB boards, providing a streamlined and organized interface for the control system to interpret and act upon acoustic data.
• This integration promotes a cohesive and efficient acoustic monitoring system capable of simultaneously processing multiple channels of acoustic information, optimizing data accuracy and system responsiveness.
• The board is designed with compatibility in mind, supporting sensors and amplifiers from leading third-party vendors, including Bentley-Nevada, Vibro-meter, GE/Reuter-Stokes, and others. This broad compatibility allows for easy integration of diverse sensor types and enhances the board’s versatility in various industrial settings.
• By supporting a range of sensor technologies, the board can be tailored to meet the specific acoustic monitoring needs of different applications, making it an adaptable choice for industrial environments.

Signal Reception and Power Supply

• Designed to receive millivolt (mV) outputs from either the CCSA or third-party charge amplifiers. This flexibility allows it to work with a diverse array of signal sources. The power required for these charge amplifiers is supplied by the TAMB, which provides a current-limited +24V or -24V supply. Alternatively, power can also be sourced externally if needed.
• Each channel on the TAMB terminal board offers current-limited +24V DC and -24V DC power supply outputs. Additionally, a constant current source is connected to the SIGx line, which is essential for powering PCB sensors. This setup ensures that each sensor receives a stable and reliable power supply, crucial for accurate and consistent signal conditioning.

Identification and Diagnostics

• The terminal board is equipped with its own identification (ID) device. This device is interrogated by the I/O board during system operations. The ID device is a read-only chip that contains vital information about the terminal board, including its serial number, board type, revision number, and the locations of connectors JR, JS, and JT.
• This ID is checked as part of the system's power-up diagnostics, ensuring that the correct board is installed and functioning properly.
• This feature enhances the reliability and maintainability of the system by facilitating easy identification and verification of the board during startup and troubleshooting processes.
