FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION:

IC3600SVDE1B1B is a Vibration Alarm Card manufactured and designed by General Electric as part of the Mark I & II Series used in gas turbine control systems. It monitors vibration signals received from sensors mounted on turbine shafts, bearings, or other rotating machinery. The card continuously compares these signals against preset alarm thresholds, and when the vibration exceeds safe limits, it triggers an alarm output. This alarm can alert operators, initiate safety interlocks, or communicate with the central control system to prevent mechanical damage. The card includes on-board indicators and adjustment components that allow fine-tuning of alarm sensitivity and threshold levels to match specific operational requirements.

INSTALLATION:

All connections from the vibration sensors should be verified according to the manufacturer�s wiring diagram, and the card should be secured firmly in place. It is recommended to install the card in a clean, vibration-free environment to avoid false triggers during setup. Before powering the system, a visual inspection of the card and connectors should be performed to ensure correct orientation and seating.

OPERATION:

The card evaluates vibration magnitude against configured thresholds and generates an alarm output if unsafe vibration levels are detected. Operators can observe the on-board LED indicators to confirm status, and adjustments can be made to sensitivity or threshold settings via the potentiometers or system interface. The card operates automatically as part of the larger turbine protection system, ensuring continuous monitoring without user intervention while providing rapid alarms to prevent potential equipment damage or failure.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

What is a Vibration Alarm Card?

A Vibration Alarm Card is an industrial electronic module designed to monitor vibration levels in rotating machinery such as turbines, motors, or compressors. It receives signals from vibration sensors and continuously compares the measured vibration against preset safe limits. When the vibration exceeds these limits, the card triggers an alarm to alert operators and activate protective measures.

How do I connect the vibration sensors to the card?

The card is designed to receive input from vibration sensors such as accelerometers or velocity sensors. These sensors are typically wired to the card via the backplane, which connects to the appropriate slots in the GE Speedtronic Mark I/II turbine control system. The signal input range is generally 0-10 VDC, with the card processing the data from the sensors to detect excess vibration.

How does the Vibration Alarm Card process the vibration signals?

The card processes vibration signals through an analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) and uses internal signal conditioning circuits, such as low-pass filters, to eliminate noise. This ensures accurate detection of significant vibration levels that could indicate machinery problems.
