SPECIFICATIONS
Part No.: DS200TCDAP1BCJ
Manufacturer: General Electric
Country of Manufacture: United States of America (USA)
Product Type: Software PROM Set
Availability: In Stock
Series: Mark V
Functional Description
DS200TCDAP1BCJ is a Software PROM Set developed by GE. It is a part of Mark V control system. The PROM set contains the firmware or software that enables the operation of various hardware components within the control system. This can include control algorithms, diagnostics, and system boot-up sequences.
Features
- Pre-programmed Software: The PROM set is pre-programmed with the necessary software that allows the Mark V system to communicate with, control, and monitor turbine equipment.
- Customization and Configuration: These PROM chips can store firmware, configuration data, and control logic that can be adjusted as per the specific requirements of the system.
- Non-Volatile Memory: As Read-Only Memory, the data stored in the PROM set is non-volatile, which means it retains information even when the power is turned off, ensuring that critical control information is preserved across power cycles.
- System Integration: The Software PROM Set enables seamless integration with the rest of the Mark V control system, including the I/O modules, control boards, and communication interfaces.
Installation and Compatibility
- The Software PROM Set is typically installed by placing the PROM chips onto designated sockets in the control system's processor boards. Installation should be performed with care to avoid static discharge or physical damage to the chips. It is crucial to verify compatibility with the Mark V system version being used, as the software versions may vary based on the specific needs of the turbine or the installation environment.
- The PROM set is designed to fit into standard PROM sockets on the control system’s processor boards.
- It is essential to ensure that the PROM set is compatible with the Mark V control system version being used. Each PROM set is designed for specific configurations, and incorrect versions can lead to operational failure or errors.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting
- Monitor Firmware Updates: Ensure that the PROM set’s firmware is up-to-date with the latest software and patches provided by GE to take advantage of improvements and fixes.
Check for Corruption: If the system begins to behave erratically, or if errors are detected in the turbine control, check if the PROM set might be corrupted or if the settings have been altered.
- Reprogramming: In some cases, the PROM set may need to be reprogrammed to address specific changes in system behavior or control requirements. This should be done with caution to avoid data loss.
- Replace if Necessary: If the PROM set becomes faulty or damaged, replacement chips should be installed, and the new set should be programmed with the required software version.
