Functional Description

DS3800DSQD is a Sequencer Auxiliary Board designed and developed by GE. It is part of Mark IV control system. It controls sequencing operations within system. It works in tandem with other system components to ensure proper sequence execution, contributing to smooth and efficient turbine operation.

Key Components

• Indicator LEDs: The board is equipped with 32 indicator LEDs that provide visual feedback on the status of various functions. These LEDs are strategically placed across the board to ensure clear, real-time indication of system status and operations.
• Jumpers: Includes 16 jumpers, which are used for configuring specific settings or options on the board. Jumpers are essential for making connections between different circuits, allowing for greater customization and flexibility in the control system setup.
• Connector: A 50-pin connector is part of the board's design, enabling it to interface with other system components. This connector ensures seamless integration with the larger Mark IV control system, allowing the board to contribute to overall system control and sequencing.
• EPROM Module: Features an Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EPROM) module, a crucial element that stores the instructions and firmware code used to control the processing within the drive. The EPROM module holds vital information, ensuring the correct sequencing of operations in turbine control systems. The EPROM module can be removed if needed for updates or maintenance. It is securely attached to an EPROM socket embedded on the board. The module is designed for easy removal, should replacement or updates be necessary. To safely remove the module:
• Locate the small gap at each end of the module between the socket and the module itself.
  Insert a screwdriver into the gap and gently pry the module off the socket.
  Repeat this process on the other side of the module to fully detach it from the socket.
  This design allows for simple maintenance and upgrades, as the EPROM module can be replaced or updated without needing to remove the entire board.

Maintenance and Replacement

Regular inspection of the board ensures optimal performance. When necessary, the EPROM module can be easily replaced or reprogrammed, providing flexibility for system upgrades or repairs. Care should be taken to follow the removal steps carefully to avoid damaging the board or module.
