Functional Description
IS200EROCH2A is an Exciter Regulator Options Board developed by GE. It is a part of the EX2100 system. The Exciter Regulator Options Card is a component within the EX2100 regulator control systems, playing a pivotal role in facilitating essential regulator functions. Engineered to ensure precise control and regulation of excitation systems, the EROC is designed to meet the demanding requirements of industrial power generation applications.
Features
- Mounting and Interface: Designed for seamless integration, the component is intended to be mounted in a single slot of either the Exciter Regulator Backplane (ERBP) or the Exciter Regulator Redundant Backplane (ERRB). Its compact form factor and standardized interface allow for easy installation and compatibility with existing control systems.
- Board Identification and Compatibility: Equipped with a sophisticated board identification (ID) device, establishes seamless communication with the M1 or M2 control associated with the specific backplane slot. This ID device incorporates essential information, including the barcode serial number, board type, and hardware revision, ensuring accurate identification and compatibility with the control system.
- Power Status Indicator: Enhancing operational visibility, features a prominent green LED located on its faceplate. This LED serves as a power status indicator, illuminating upon the application of power to the card. The illumination of the LED provides a clear visual indication of the EROC's operational status, enabling efficient monitoring and troubleshooting.
- Version Differentiation: Available in two distinct versions or groups: EROCH1 and EROCH2. Each version may offer specific features or enhancements tailored to different application requirements or system configurations. This versatility allows users to select the appropriate EROC variant based on their specific operational needs and regulatory control system requirements.
- Reliability and Performance: Built to withstand the rigors of industrial environments, it is engineered with robust components and advanced circuitry to ensure reliable performance under diverse operating conditions. Its high-quality construction and adherence to stringent quality standards contribute to its exceptional reliability and longevity in demanding industrial applications.
Keypad Connectivity
- The Exciter Regulator Options Card (EROC) features two keypad connectors, one on the faceplate and another on the backplane (ERBP simplex and ERRB redundant). These connectors facilitate keypad data transmission to support the bezel-mounted keypad(s) used for system control.
- While the EROC can transmit keypad data to both connectors, only one keypad can be connected at a time. This dual connector setup accommodates various mounting configurations of the EX2100 regulator control. Communication between the EROC and the keypad connectors is established using RS-232C protocol, offering baud rates ranging from 1200 to 38.4 K.
Tool Connector and Interface
- Equipped with a tool connector on its faceplate, which serves as the interface point for connecting an external computer to the IS200DSPX Digital Signal Processor Control board (DSPX).
- This connection is established via a 9-pin plug connector and supports communication protocols using RS-232C, with baud rates ranging from 1200 to 38.4 K. The tool connector enables seamless communication between the EROC and external computing devices, facilitating system monitoring, configuration, and diagnostics.
Ground Loop Isolation
- Ensuring robust and reliable operation, the EROC incorporates ground loop isolation for the tool connector through the integration of a dc/dc converter. This feature effectively mitigates potential ground loop issues, enhancing system stability and performance during operation.
ECTB Connector
- The EROC also includes an ECTB connector, which supplies positive 70 V dc power to the contact output section of the Exciter Contact Terminal board (ECTB).
- This connector serves to power and interface with the ECTB, facilitating seamless communication and control between the EROC and the contact output section of the ECTB. This integration enables efficient coordination and management of exciter contact terminal functions within the overall excitation system.
