Product Features

• As part of the PC board assembly, the component contributes significantly to the control mechanisms embedded within the Mark IV system. It acts as a crucial intermediary, enabling the transmission and interpretation of signals, data, and commands necessary for the efficient operation and management of the system's intricate functions.
• Moreover, this board is meticulously crafted and rigorously tested to meet the stringent quality standards set by GE. Its design and functionality are optimized to ensure reliability, durability, and compatibility within the complex ecosystem of the Mark IV control system.
• The terminal board, as a vital part of the Mark IV control system's PC board assembly and control card, plays a pivotal role in facilitating communication, control, and coordination among various system components, contributing to the system's overall efficiency, reliability, and performance.

System Features

• The Mark IV control system integrates microprocessor and electro-hydraulic technologies. It relies on Intel 8086 and 80286 microprocessor-based processors, functioning as microcomputers, to compute the necessary analog and logic signals crucial for controlling, protecting, and sequencing gas turbines.
• Sensors installed on the turbine constantly monitor operational conditions. The hardware within the IV panel transforms analog and logic signals received from these sensors into digital data, which is then processed by the processors. The system's software, comprising computer programs, dictates these calculations. After computation, the hardware converts the digital results back into physical analog and logic signals to activate various devices. In essence, analog signals regulate servovalves while logic signals energize relays.
• The system is designed with multiple processors and modularized sensors, ensuring redundancy and enhancing fault tolerance by tenfold compared to integrated circuit control systems. This redundancy significantly boosts the system's reliability and robustness in operation.
