Functional Description

DS3800NAID is a Voltage Buffer Card designed and developed by GE. It is a part of Mark IV control system. A Voltage Buffer Card in a turbine control system is designed to protect and stabilize voltage levels within the system. It acts as an intermediary between the control system and external components, ensuring that voltage fluctuations do not affect the integrity of control signals. The card provides voltage isolation, preventing high or erratic voltages from damaging sensitive electronics. It also helps in signal conditioning, maintaining consistent voltage levels for accurate data processing and communication between control modules.

Features

• Connectors: Includes ten male vertical-pin mating connectors. These connectors are used for interfacing the card with other system components
  • OUT: Output connections.
  • IN: Input connections.
  • LOOP: Often used for feedback loops in control systems.
  • LINE: Referring to the electrical line or signal path.
  • PULSE: Pulse signal connections.
  • RATE: For signals related to rate or speed control.
• Test Points (TP): The board is equipped with multiple TP test points, which are critical for system diagnostics and performance monitoring. These test points are labeled with important parameters like:
  • HI: High signal or voltage levels.
  • LO: Low signal or voltage levels.
  • LINE PULSE RATE: Used for monitoring the pulse rate of signals in the line.
  • LINE OUT: Signal output from the line.
  • ACOM: Common or ground reference point for accurate measurements.
• Push Button Switches: Features two push button switches, typically used for setting up or resetting functions or to enable diagnostic modes. These switches offer convenient manual control over the operation of the card.
• Spare PTH (Plated Through Holes): The card also includes a set of spare PTH (Plated Through Holes), which are crucial for adding extra connections or modifications to the card if needed. These allow for flexibility in the card's use and are particularly useful during custom installations or future upgrades.
