IC3600SOTK1

IC3600SOTK1 is an Overtemperature Protection Card manufactured and designed by General Electric as part of the Mark II Series used in GE Speedtronic Control Systems. This card plays a crucial role in monitoring and managing temperature levels within turbine control systems, ensuring equipment protection from damage due to excessive temperatures.

Key Components

• Temperature Sensors: Connected to the OTP card and positioned at critical points in the system to measure temperature.
• Control Unit: The core of the OTP card, where temperature data from sensors is processed and compared against preset thresholds.
• Alarm System: Integrated with the control unit, this system generates visual and/or auditory alerts when temperatures exceed safe limits.
• Communication Interface: Allows the OTP card to interact with the main control system or other monitoring systems, often using communication protocols like Modbus, CAN bus, etc.

Functions

• Continuous Monitoring: The OTP card constantly monitors temperatures at various critical points within the equipment.
• Threshold Setting: Configured with predefined temperature thresholds that represent safe operating limits for the equipment.
• Alarm Activation: Triggers an alarm to alert operators when the temperature exceeds the set threshold.
• Protective Actions: Can initiate automatic protective actions such as shutting down the equipment in severe cases to prevent damage.
• Data Logging: Some OTP cards log temperature data for trend analysis and predictive maintenance.
