SPECIFICATIONS

Part No.: IC3600SVFA1B1B
Manufacturer: General Electric
Product Type: Calibrator
Availability: In Stock
Voltage Type: DC
Series: Mark I and Mark II

Functional Description

IC3600SVFA1B1B is a Calibrator developed by GE Fanuc. It is a part of Mark I and Mark II series. These systems were among the earliest digital control platforms designed by General Electric to manage and optimize the performance of gas turbines. The Calibrator is designed to provide a variable frequency sine wave output that simulates the speed signal of a turbine shaft. This functionality enables technicians and operators to test and calibrate turbine control systems without the need for actual turbine operation.

Features

• The board accepts a voltage input through a signal conditioner or via a switch output on the board.
• An external potentiometer is used to control the output, allowing for adjustable and precise simulation of variable frequency sine wave signals.
• Outputs a sine wave signal that mimics the speed of the turbine shaft, enabling system calibration and diagnostic testing.
• Compatible with both Mark I and Mark II Speedtronic systems, ensuring flexibility and wide usability in older turbine models.
• Built to withstand industrial environments, ensuring reliable performance during calibration processes.

Role in the Mark I and Mark II Systems

• Allows technicians to simulate turbine speed signals to test the system’s response and ensure proper functionality.
• Used as part of training exercises to familiarize operators with system behavior and response under simulated conditions.
• Enables troubleshooting of speed signal issues without requiring a live turbine, reducing downtime.
• Facilitates fine-tuning of control parameters for improved turbine performance.

Benefits

• Accurate Calibration: Provides precise speed signal simulation, enabling accurate calibration of control systems.
• Enhanced Safety: Allows for testing and diagnostics without live turbine operation, minimizing risks to personnel and equipment.
• Cost-Effective Maintenance: Reduces downtime and operational interruptions by enabling offline diagnostics.
• Improved Efficiency: Ensures that turbines operate at optimal efficiency through accurate system tuning and calibration.

Maintenance Tips

• Regular Inspections: Check for signs of wear, damage, or loose connections.
• Clean Connections: Remove dust or corrosion from connectors to maintain signal accuracy.
• Diagnostic Testing: Periodically test the output to ensure it generates correct and stable sine wave signals.
• Replace Faulty Components: Use genuine GE Fanuc parts for replacements to maintain compatibility and performance.
