TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR GE - IS220PRAS1A

IS220PRAS1A is a protection I/O module developed by GE. It is a part of Mark VIeS control system. It is a component used in GE Distributed Control Systems, specifically designed for independent backup overspeed protection and watchdog functions for primary control systems. The I/O packs and associated terminal board provide an independent backup overspeed protection system.

Features

  • Independent Watchdog Function: The module monitors the primary control system continuously, providing an additional layer of oversight to ensure system integrity and operational continuity.
  • Isolated Trip Contact Inputs: It incorporates secure and reliable isolated inputs for turbine trip commands, crucial for initiating protective actions in response to critical operational conditions.
  • I/O Packs and Terminal Board: Derived from the standard Mark VIe packs, the I/O packs support up to six-speed inputs, accommodating dual-speed sensors per shaft. This design flexibility allows for versatile integration and adaptation to specific turbine configurations. The terminal board is tailored to ensure seamless compatibility and integration with the overall control system architecture, maintaining consistency in configuration, variables, and operational behavior.
  • Ethernet Connectivity: Equipped with Ethernet connections, the module facilitates IONet communications with control modules. This connectivity feature supports efficient data exchange and integration within the broader control network, enhancing system monitoring and control capabilities.
  • Application: The module is instrumental in critical applications where reliable overspeed protection and continuous monitoring of primary control systems are paramount. Its features, including independent watchdog functionality, isolated trip inputs, and Ethernet connectivity, underscore its role in maintaining operational safety, reliability, and compliance with industry standards.

    • Operations

  • The soft-start circuit is responsible for gradually ramping up the voltage supplied to the processor board. This gradual increase in voltage helps prevent sudden electrical surges that could potentially damage sensitive components. By controlling the rate of voltage increase, the soft-start circuit ensures that the processor board powers up safely and reliably.
  • Local power supply sequencing is crucial for proper distribution and monitoring of power within the control system. It involves a systematic approach to powering up various components in a specific order to prevent power spikes or instabilities. Proper sequencing ensures that each component receives stable power at the correct voltage levels, optimizing performance and longevity.
  • During processor initialization, several key tasks are performed to prepare the processor board for operation
  • Processor Reset Removal: This step involves removing the processor reset signal, allowing the processor to begin executing its startup routines.
  • Self-Test Routines: The processor runs self-test routines to check internal components and subsystems for proper functioning. This diagnostic process verifies that the processor board is operational and ready to execute tasks.
  • Loading specific application code from flash memory is essential for configuring the processor board to perform its designated tasks. The application code contains instructions and algorithms tailored to the control system’s operational requirements. Loading this code initializes the board with the necessary software components, enabling it to carry out control functions effectively.
  • Board ID verification ensures the correct matching of application code, acquisition board, and terminal board configurations. This verification process confirms that the installed software matches the hardware configuration, preventing compatibility issues and ensuring seamless operation of the control system.
  • Establishing Ethernet communications involves setting up network connectivity for the processor board. This step includes:
  • Network Address Request: The processor requests a network address from the network infrastructure to establish communication.
  • Network Communications: Once connected, Ethernet facilitates data exchange between the processor board and other networked devices or systems. It supports real-time monitoring, control, and data transfer essential for system operation.

    • Processor Board Components

  • High-Speed Processor: The board features a high-speed processor that includes both RAM and flash memory. This setup ensures efficient processing and storage capabilities, essential for handling complex tasks and maintaining high performance.
  • Dual Ethernet Ports: The board is equipped with two fully independent 10/100 Ethernet ports. These ports provide robust network connectivity and allow for simultaneous data transmission without interference.
  • Watchdog Timer and Reset Circuit:A watchdog timer is included to monitor the processor’s operation and initiate a reset if the system becomes unresponsive. This feature is crucial for maintaining system reliability and minimizing downtime.
  • Internal Temperature Sensor: An internal temperature sensor is integrated to monitor the board’s thermal conditions. This component helps ensure the board remains within safe operating temperatures, thus preventing overheating and potential damage.
  • Status-Indication LEDs: The board includes status-indication LEDs that provide visual feedback on the system’s operational state. These LEDs help users quickly assess the board's status and identify any issues.
  • Electronic ID and Inter-Board Communication: The board features an electronic ID system for unique identification and inter-board communication. This component facilitates effective communication between multiple boards within a system, enhancing overall functionality and integration.
  • Input Power Connector: The input power connector is designed with soft start and current limiting capabilities. This feature helps protect the board from power surges and ensures a smooth startup process.
  • Local Power Supplies: The board includes local power supplies with sequencing and monitoring functions. These supplies provide stable power to the board and ensure consistent operation by managing voltage levels and detecting any irregularities.
