Functional Description
IS200TSVCH1AGE is a Servo Input/Output terminal board developed by GE. It is a part of Mark VIe control system. The terminal board interfaces with two electro-hydraulic servo valves, which play a pivotal role in controlling the operation of steam/fuel valves within the system. These servo valves translate electrical signals into precise hydraulic movements, allowing for accurate control over the positioning of the valves and, consequently, the flow of steam or fuel.
Features
- Valve Position Measurement: To ensure precise control and monitoring, valve position is measured using linear variable differential transformers (LVDT). These sensors provide accurate feedback on the position of the servo valves, enabling the control system to adjust and maintain the desired valve positions in real-time.
- Compatibility with PSVO I/O Pack and WSVO Servo Driver: The board is specifically designed to work seamlessly with the PSVO I/O pack and the WSVO servo driver. This tailored compatibility ensures optimal performance and integration within the control system, enabling efficient communication and coordination between components.
- Support for Simplex, Dual, and TMR Control: The terminal board offers versatile control options, supporting simplex, dual, and Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) configurations. This flexibility allows the control system to be configured according to specific requirements, providing redundancy and fault tolerance as needed for critical applications.
- Power Supply Options: Three 28 V DC power supplies are accommodated through plug J28 on the terminal board. These power supplies provide the necessary electrical energy to operate the servo valves and associated components, ensuring reliable and consistent performance.
- External Trip Input: For enhanced functionality and safety, plugs JD1 or JD2 are designated for an external trip input from the protection module. This allows for external signals to trigger trip actions, providing an additional layer of protection and control over the operation of the system.
Key Benefits
- Precision Control: The terminal board enables precise control over electro-hydraulic servo valves, ensuring accurate positioning of steam/fuel valves for optimal system performance.
- Compatibility: Tailored compatibility with PSVO I/O pack and WSVO servo driver ensures seamless integration and interoperability within the control system.
- Versatile Control Options: Support for simplex, dual, and TMR control configurations offers flexibility in system design, allowing for customization based on specific application requirements.
- Reliable Power Supply: Three 28 V DC power supplies provide reliable electrical energy to operate the servo valves, ensuring consistent performance and responsiveness.
- Enhanced Safety: External trip inputs enable additional safety measures, allowing for external signals to trigger trip actions in response to critical events or conditions, enhancing system safety and reliability.
Installation
- Wiring Sensors and Servo Valves: Connect sensors and servo valves directly to two I/O terminal blocks on the TSVC terminal board. Each block is secured with two screws and has 24 terminals capable of accepting up to 2 AWG wiring. Ensure proper wiring to facilitate efficient communication and control.
- Grounding Setup: Adjacent to each terminal block, locate the shield terminal strip attached to chassis ground. Securely connect the shield terminal strip to ensure proper grounding, minimizing electrical noise and ensuring system integrity.
- External Trip Wiring: Plug external trip wiring into either JD1 or JD2 as per system requirements. This allows for external signals to trigger trip actions, enhancing system safety and responsiveness.
- TMR Configuration for Servo Outputs: Configure each servo output for Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) by setting up three coils. Use jumper selection using JP1, JP3, and JP5 for Servo 1, and JP2, JP4, and JP6 for Servo 2. Adjust the size of each coil current accordingly to meet system specifications and operational requirements.
Configuration
- In a simplex system setup, where redundancy is not required, configuring the servo outputs involves straightforward steps. Each servo's coil current is adjusted individually to ensure optimal performance. For servo 1, the correct coil current is set using jumper JP1, while servo 2 is configured with jumper JP4. These settings ensure that each servo operates efficiently within the system, providing precise control over valve actuation.
- In contrast, in a Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) system, redundancy is paramount for fault tolerance and system reliability. The terminal board allows each servo output to have three coils, enhancing redundancy and ensuring continued operation even in the event of a component failure. In this configuration, each coil's current for both servo 1 and servo 2 is individually selected using specific jumpers. For servo 1, coil currents are adjusted using jumpers JP1, JP2, and JP3, while for servo 2, jumpers JP4, JP5, and JP6 are utilized.
- Beyond jumper configurations, additional settings for the board can be adjusted using the ToolboxST application. This software provides a user-friendly interface for configuring various parameters and settings, allowing for fine-tuning and optimization of the servo board's operation. Through ToolboxST, users can access and modify settings such as voltage levels, signal timings, and other parameters to suit specific system requirements and operational preferences.
- Ensuring the correct configuration of the terminal board is essential for optimal system performance and reliability. Proper coil current settings, whether in simplex or TMR configurations, guarantee that the servo valves operate within specified parameters, providing precise control over valve positioning and system operation. By following the recommended configuration procedures and utilizing tools like the ToolboxST application, users can maximize the performance and reliability of the TSVC terminal board within their control systems.
