Frequently Asked Questions

What is DS215UDSAG1AZZ01A?
It is a UDSAG1 Circuit Board and Firmware developed by GE under the EX2000 series.

How are the feedback signals processed in the EX2000?
The feedback signals pass through isolators and operational amplifiers before being converted from analog to digital signals using voltage-controlled oscillators. This digital conversion allows for precise monitoring and regulation of the system.

How does the Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) work in the EX2000?
The AVR controls the generator's terminal voltage by comparing the feedback counts to a reference setpoint chosen by the operator. For example, if the operator sets the terminal voltage to its rated value , the AVR defines this as 20000 counts. The feedback counts are compared to this reference, and the AVR adjusts the system to maintain the terminal voltage at 20000 counts.

Is the software configuration application-dependent?
No, the EX2000 software is designed to be largely application-independent. The use of standardized, normalized values to represent monitored or regulated variables allows the same software to be used across different systems and applications.

Can the operator change the setpoint for the terminal voltage?
Yes, the operator can adjust the setpoint for the terminal voltage within the AVR. This changes the reference value that the AVR uses to maintain the desired voltage level. For example, setting the terminal voltage to a different value will adjust the reference counts used by the AVR to regulate voltage.
