Functional Description
IC3600SLSB1 is a Low Cycle Fatigue Board developed by GE. It is a part of General Electric Mark I and Mark II control systems. One of the primary objectives is to minimize the risk of unexpected failures in gas turbines. Low cycle fatigue can be detrimental leading to costly downtime and maintenance. This board acts as a preventive measure, enhancing overall system reliability. It often reduces the need for frequent maintenance interventions, translating into lower operational costs and improved reliability.
System Remote Annuniciator Interface Module
- The addition of a Remote Annuniciator Interface Module represents a significant advancement in turbine control systems. This module is specifically designed to provide alarm indications at a remote location, offering critical information about the status and performance of the turbine. Its design and features ensure a seamless and reliable connection between the remote terminal and the turbine control panel, while maintaining the utmost safety and operational efficiency.
- Complete Isolation: One of the most notable aspects of the Remote Annuniciator Interface Module is its complete isolation from the turbine control panel. This isolation serves as a safeguard against any potential interference or disruptions from the turbine's internal systems. It ensures that the remote terminal operates independently and without compromising the integrity of the control panel.
- Independent Power Supply: The remote terminal is self-sufficient in terms of power supply. It provides its own voltage, guaranteeing a stable and consistent source of power for alarm indications. This independence is crucial in situations where power fluctuations or failures could have serious consequences.
- Alarm Indication: Alarm indications from the turbine control panel are seamlessly transmitted to the remote terminal through relay contact closure in the Remote Annuniciator Interface Module. This method of communication ensures that alarms are promptly and accurately relayed to the remote location, enabling quick responses to any issues or malfunctions.
- Connection with Local Annuniciator: For further clarity and redundancy, the connection between the remote interface module and the local annuniciator is detailed in Turbine Control Panel Elementary Sheets 18A and 188. This documentation ensures that the integration between the remote and local systems is straightforward and well-documented.
- Remote Pushbuttons: The Remote Annuniciator Interface Module is equipped with three operator pushbuttons located at the remote terminal. These pushbuttons serve the same functions as their local counterparts, enabling remote operators to initiate specific actions or acknowledge alarms. These remote pushbuttons activate relays in the interface module, facilitating the seamless operation of the control system.
- Relay Logic: The relays in the interface module are thoughtfully designed to work in conjunction with the local pushbuttons. The contacts of these relays are either paralleled or connected in series, ensuring that the remote and local pushbuttons operate in harmony. This logical configuration allows for synchronized responses and actions, regardless of whether commands originate from the remote or local location.
