DS3800HOSA - Circuit Board

SPECIFICATIONS

Part Number: DS3800HOSA
Manufacturer: General Electric
Country of Manufacture: United States (USA)
Series: Mark IV
Function: Circuit Board

Functional Description

DS3800HOSA is a Circuit Board developed by GE. It is a part of the Speedtronic Mark IV control system for gas turbines. The Mark IV control system represents a significant evolution from previous control technologies, primarily due to its adoption of microprocessor-based distributed control. Unlike older systems, which relied on centralized control units and analog technology, the Mark IV uses microprocessors to distribute control functions across various components. This distributed architecture enhances the reliability and flexibility of the control system. Each component can operate independently yet communicate seamlessly with others, allowing for more robust system performance and fault tolerance.

Features

• The Mark IV incorporates a display system that represents a departure from the traditional dedicated meters and annunciator light boxes used in older systems.
  • Increased Information: It provides operators with more detailed and organized information.
  • Operator Configurability: Operators can configure the display to suit their preferences and needs.
  • Hard Copy Option: The system includes options for generating hard copy reports, which can be valuable for record-keeping and analysis.
• Mark IV is designed to be highly flexible, making it suitable for a wide range of turbine applications. Despite this flexibility, it retains standardized hardware components, which offers several advantages:
  • Simplified Manufacturing: Standardized parts streamline the manufacturing process.
  • Easier Diagnostics: Uniform components facilitate quicker and more accurate troubleshooting.
  • Simplified Maintenance: Consistent hardware reduces the complexity of maintenance and repair procedures, making it easier for technicians to service the system.
• Before proceeding with large-scale production, up to six Mark IV units will be installed and operated. These units will be deployed to test environments where they can be thoroughly evaluated. This preliminary testing phase allows the team to gather real-time performance data and monitor the system's behavior in various operational scenarios. The goal is to identify any issues or unforeseen problems that may arise during the initial installations.
