Functional Description

DS3800NGMA is a General Purpose Multiply Board manufactured and designed by General Electrics. It is a part of the Mark IV Control System. The Mark IV was the first fully microprocessor-based turbine control system developed by GE. It features triple modular redundancy (TMR) to ensure reliability and minimize failures. The system continuously monitors turbine operations and detects anomalies in real time. It provides detailed diagnostic capabilities for troubleshooting issues efficiently.

Features

• Extractor Clips: The board is equipped with extractor clips positioned in both right-hand corners. These clips facilitate the easy insertion and removal of the board, preventing damage to delicate components during maintenance or replacement.
• LED Indicator: The board includes a single amber LED labeled IMOK. This LED serves as a status indicator, providing visual confirmation of the board’s operational condition.
• Test Points: There are 13 test points available on the board. These test points allow technicians to diagnose performance issues, check voltage levels, and troubleshoot the system efficiently.
• Connectors: Features a 28-pin Augat connector (female) that ensures reliable electrical connections for data and power transfer. Additionally, it has a 218A4553-1 A/mp 102041-1 connector located along the left edge. This connector is specifically designed to facilitate communication between the card and other printed circuit boards (PCBs) within the Mark IV system.
• Jumper Switches: The board includes four jumper switches, which allow for configuration adjustments and customization based on specific operational requirements.
