FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION:

IS220PPROH1A, REV C is a Backup Turbine Protection I/O Module manufactured and designed by General Electric as part of the Mark VIe Series, which is used in GE Distributed Turbine Control Systems. The Backup Turbine Protection I/O Module and its associated terminal boards form a critical component of the turbine control system, providing an independent backup overspeed protection mechanism. In addition to overspeed protection, the PPRO system also performs a redundant synchronization check for the generator when connecting to a utility bus, ensuring safe and reliable system operation. Another important feature of the PPRO is its independent watchdog function, which continuously monitors the primary control system and acts as a safeguard in the event of a malfunction.

A standard emergency protection architecture is typically built using three Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) PPRO I/O packs, each mounted on a separate Simplex Protection (SPRO) terminal board. This TMR configuration enhances system reliability by allowing the control logic to vote between multiple signals, reducing the possibility of false trips or failures. Each SPRO terminal board is connected via a DC-37 pin cable to its designated Emergency Trip Terminal Board, which interfaces directly with the turbine trip mechanisms. Depending on the turbine application, one of the following trip boards is used:

  • TREG: Gas Turbine Emergency Trip Terminal Board
  • TREL: Large Steam Turbine Emergency Trip Terminal Board
  • TRES: Small/Medium Steam Turbine Emergency Trip Terminal Board
  • TREA: General Turbine Emergency Trip Terminal Board

A maximum of three trip solenoids can be connected between the primary and emergency trip terminal boards. Connecting a solenoid between the boards isolates the power on both sides of the solenoid, as well as visibility of the solenoid voltage as a system feedback. The primary/emergency trip boards TRPG/TREG, TRPL/TREL, and TRPS/TRES are designed to operate as a pair and use cabling between the boards for system connections. TRPA and TREA are designed with no pairing required and can be used independently of each other. When TRPA and TREA are paired, they function the same as other board pairs.

CONTROLLER COMPATIBILITY:

SIMPLEX MAIN CONTROL:

  • Simplex backup protection is supported by the Mark VIe trip board TRES. One PPRO network port resides on the controller IONet.
  • TMR backup protection is supported by all Mark VIe backup trip boards, TREG, TREL, TREA, and TRES. In this configuration, one port on each of three PPRO I/O packs hooks into the controller IONet.

DUAL MAIN CONTROL:

Simplex backup protection is supported by the Mark VIe trip board TRES. When used in this configuration, the first network connection is to the R controller. The second network connection is to the S controller. PPRO is then responsible for monitoring the operation of both controllers. PPRO supports two options: The pack trips if either controller malfunctions or both controllers malfunction.

TMR backup protection is supported by all Mark VIe backup trip boards, TREG, TREL, TREA, and TRES. This configuration uses the dual controller TMR output standard network connection. The first PPRO pack has one network port connected to the R controller network. The second pack has one network port connected to the S controller network. The third pack has one network port connected to the R controller network and one network port connected to the S controller network. The third PPRO monitors the operation of both controllers. The pack trips if either controller malfunctions or both controllers malfunction.

INSTALLATION:

The PPRO module is designed for direct mounting onto either a Mark VIe SPRO terminal board or a TREA turbine emergency trip terminal board, depending on the application requirements. This direct integration allows the PPRO to establish a reliable connection with the emergency protection system while maintaining its independent backup functionality. When installed on an SPRO board, additional cabling is necessary to interface with the designated trip terminal board. These connections are made using DC-37 pin cables with connectors on both ends, ensuring secure signal transmission between the SPRO and the trip board.

  • Securely mount the SPRO or TREA terminal board. Mount the selected trip terminal board if SPRO is used.
  • Connect the cable, with DC-37 pin connectors on each end, between SPRO and the selected trip terminal board if TREA is not used.
  • Directly plug one PPRO module into each SPRO, or three PPRO modules into TREA.
  • Slide the threaded posts on PPRO, located on each side of the Ethernet ports, into the slots on the terminal board mounting bracket. Adjust the bracket location so the DC-62 pin connector on PPRO and the terminal board fit together securely.
  • Tighten the mounting bracket. The adjustment should only be required once in the life of the product. Securely tighten the nuts on the threaded posts, locking the PPRO in place.
  • Plug in one or two Ethernet cables, depending on the system configuration. The PPRO module is not sensitive to Ethernet connections and selects the proper operation over either port.
  • Apply power to the module by plugging in the power connector on the side of the module. The I/O module has inherent soft-start capability that controls current levels upon application.

OPERATION:

The processor board connects to an acquisition board specific to the I/O pack function. Upon application of input power, the soft-start circuit ramps up the voltage available on the processor board. The local power supplies are sequenced on, and the processor reset is removed. The processor completes self-test routines and then loads application code specific to the I/O pack type from flash memory. The application code reads board ID information to ensure the correct matching of application code, acquisition board, and terminal board. With a good match, the processor attempts to establish Ethernet communications, starting with a request for a network address. The address request uses the industry standard dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) and the unique identification read from the terminal board. After Ethernet initialization, the processor programs the on-board logic, runs the application, and enables the acquisition board to begin operation.

  • High-speed processor with RAM and flash memory
  • Two fully independent 10/100 Ethernet ports with connectors
  • Hardware watchdog timer and reset circuit
  • Local ambient temperature sensor
  • Infrared serial communications port
  • Status-indication LEDs
  • Electronic ID and the ability to read IDs on other boards
  • Substantial programmable logic supporting the acquisition board
  • Input power connector with soft start/current limiter
  • Local power supplies, including sequencing and monitoring

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

What type of connector is used between the PPRO and the terminal board?

The PPRO interfaces with the terminal board using a DC-62 pin connector. This ensures a secure and high-density electrical connection. Proper seating of this connector is essential for correct module operation.

How does the PPRO connect when used with an SPRO board?

When mounted on a SPRO, the PPRO requires a DC-37 pin cable to link the SPRO board to the designated trip terminal board (TREG, TREL, or TRES). Both ends of the cable must be securely fastened to maintain reliable signal transmission. Incorrect cable seating can lead to a protection malfunction.

How many PPRO modules can be installed on a TREA terminal board?

A TREA terminal board supports three PPRO modules simultaneously. This configuration provides Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR), where signals are validated through voting logic. Such redundancy significantly reduces the chance of false trips.
