Product type: GE EPROM Set
Availability: In Stock
Country of Manufacture: United States (USA)
Functional Description
DS200MSTCF1BFA is a GE EPROM Set designed and developed by GE. It is a part of the Mark V control system. The reprogrammable nature of EPROMs allows data to be erased and rewritten multiple times. This flexibility permits the chip to be reused for different applications, enhancing its versatility and cost-effectiveness. EPROMs retain data even when the power supply is turned off. This non-volatile characteristic eliminates the risk of data loss, ensuring that stored information remains intact and accessible.
Product Features
- Reprogrammability: Allowing data to be erased and rewritten multiple times. This feature enables flexibility and adaptability, making them suitable for applications requiring frequent updates or changes.
- Non-Volatile Storage: Retain stored data even when power is turned off. This non-volatile characteristic ensures data persistence, eliminating the risk of losing information due to power loss.
- Testing and Debugging Convenience: EPROMs are useful for testing and debugging applications. Their reprogrammable nature facilitates iterative testing and software debugging, aiding in the development and refinement of software or firmware.
- Versatility and Reusability: The ability to erase and reprogram EPROMs for different applications makes them versatile and cost-effective, as the same physical chip can be repurposed for various tasks.
- Historical Significance: EPROMs played a crucial role in the early days of computing and electronics, serving as a foundation for later memory technologies. Their historical significance lies in being one of the first reprogrammable non-volatile memory solutions.
System Primary Controller Features
- Sensor Data Exchange and Calculation: At the commencement of each computing time frame, all three controllers autonomously read data from their respective sensors. Subsequently, they share this sensor data with one another. Using this collective information, each controller computes the median value for each analog input. This calculated median value serves as the primary control parameter for that specific controller, ensuring a balanced and reliable reference point.
- Analog Input Monitoring via Diagnostic Algorithms: Diagnostic algorithms continuously oversee predefined deadbands associated with each analog input to each controller. If any analog input diverges from its specified deadband range, indicating a potential issue, the system triggers a diagnostic alarm. This alarm promptly notifies maintenance personnel, allowing for timely intervention and resolution of the detected deviation.
- Contact Input Voting: Similar to analog inputs, contact inputs follow a voting mechanism. Each contact input links to a singular terminal point and is wired in parallel to three contact input cards within the voted contact input module. Every card within this module employs optical isolation for the 125 V DC input. Additionally, a dedicated 80196 processor embedded in each card timestamps the input with exceptional precision, ensuring a resolution of within 1 millisecond.
