Functional Description

DS200TCEAF1BEB is a Software PROM Set developed by GE. It is a part of Mark V control system. EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) is a type of memory that retains its data even when the power is turned off, and can be erased and reprogrammed for reuse. EPROMs are commonly used for storing programs intended for repeated use, with the ability to be updated to newer versions.

Control Modules

• The Mark V Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) system is designed to ensure reliability and safety in turbine control. This configuration guarantees uninterrupted operation by providing redundancy across its controllers, sensors, and communication systems, making it a preferred solution for critical turbine applications.
• The Mark V system employs three identical controllers R, S, and T that handle all critical operations. These controllers execute turbine control algorithms, manage protective functions like overspeed protection, and oversee sequencing for turbine start-up, operation, and shutdown. They also acquire input data from sensors to generate control outputs. Data acquisition includes input from triple-redundant sensors for critical functions and dual or single sensors for non-critical operations, ensuring optimal reliability.
• The P module plays a vital role in the system by managing protective outputs using its triple-redundant processors (X, Y, and Z). These processors operate independently to protect critical turbine functions such as overspeed scenarios. This redundancy ensures that the system remains operational and safe, even if one processor encounters an issue.
• The C controller manages non-critical and non-trip I/O functions and serves as the primary interface for operator and maintenance activities. It connects through two ARCNET ports to facilitate tasks such as issuing commands, monitoring turbine performance, and performing maintenance. Maintenance capabilities include editing application software, modifying I/O assignments, and customizing control system displays.
• Each controller in the Mark V system has a modular design, consisting of up to five boards, including a power supply. This simplifies maintenance and replacement. The controllers use multiple microprocessors that are dedicated to specific functions, such as I/O signal processing and application software execution. A real-time multi-tasking operating system ensures smooth operation, while high-speed ARCNET links enable seamless communication between controllers. Robust internal connections, like ribbon cables and gas-tight connectors, enhance system durability.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is DS200TCEAF1BEB?
It is a Software PROM Set developed by GE. 

How does the Mark V system protect critical functions?
The Mark V system protects triple-redundant processors located in the P module (processors X, Y, and Z). These processors independently monitor and protect critical turbine functions, such as overspeed detection. If one processor fails, the others continue to operate, ensuring uninterrupted protection.

What is the role of the C controller in the Mark V system?
The C controller manages non-critical and non-trip I/O and serves as the operator interface for maintenance and monitoring. It allows operators to input commands, monitor system performance, and perform maintenance tasks, such as editing control constants and software, and adjusting I/O assignments.

How are sensors managed in the Mark V TMR system?
The Mark V system uses triple-redundant sensors for all critical control and protection functions. These sensors provide the data necessary for turbine operation and safety. Non-critical functions may utilize dual or single sensors. The use of triple-redundant sensors ensures that sensor failure does not impact system performance or safety.
