DS3800HPBC

DS3800HPBC is a Parallel Line Buffer Board manufactured and designed by General Electric as part of the Mark IV Series used in gas turbine control systems. A Parallel Line Buffer Board is an electronic component or circuit board designed to manage and control parallel data lines. In electronics and computing, data can be transmitted in either serial or parallel form. Parallel transmission involves sending multiple bits of data simultaneously over separate lines, which can result in faster data transfer compared to serial transmission. Turbine control systems are used to monitor and regulate the operation of turbines in various applications, such as power generation, aviation, and industrial processes. These systems rely on accurate and timely data transmission to ensure the safe and efficient operation of turbines.

FEATURES:

Data Aggregation and Distribution: Turbine control systems gather data from various sensors, meters, and monitoring devices. These sensors provide real-time information about parameters like temperature, pressure, rotational speed, and fuel levels. The parallel line buffer board collects data from these sources and efficiently distributes it to the relevant processing units.

Data Synchronization: In turbine systems, precise timing is critical. The parallel line buffer board ensures that data from different sensors arrives at the processing units with accurate timing. This synchronization prevents errors in turbine operation caused by mismatched or delayed data.

Redundancy and Reliability: Turbine systems often employ redundancy for safety and reliability. The parallel line buffer board can manage duplicate data streams and implement failover mechanisms. If one data source fails, the board can seamlessly switch to a backup source to ensure uninterrupted control and monitoring.

Communication Between Subsystems: A turbine control system consists of multiple subsystems that need to exchange data. The parallel line buffer board facilitates smooth communication between these subsystems by buffering and routing data appropriately.

Control Signal Management: Turbine control involves sending control signals to actuators and valves to adjust various parameters. The parallel line buffer board handles these control signals, ensuring they reach the intended actuators accurately and without delays.

Real-time Monitoring: Turbine control requires real-time monitoring of critical parameters. The parallel line buffer board ensures that data is processed and delivered promptly to support timely decision-making and intervention.
