FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION:

IC3600SBMB1D is a Switch Power Supply Bus Monitoring Board manufactured and designed by General Electric as part of the Mark II Series used in GE Speedtronic Control Systems. The utility model pertains to a Switching Power Supply monitoring board utilizing the CAN bus. When multiple power modules operate in parallel without proper current-sharing measures, uneven distribution of output current among modules may occur. This can lead to overload situations in modules with better external characteristics, reducing reliability, while modules with lower current-sharing may operate inefficiently. Current-sharing in existing systems, typically realized through analog circuits comprising current sampling, voltage comparison, integrated control chips, and current equalizing bus bars, is often inaccurate and limited by factors like temperature drift, resulting in about 5% variability. Furthermore, in systems using digital current-sharing, control signals transmitted by watchdogs to each power supply unit can lead to system breakdown if the watchdog fails.

FEATURES:

• CAN Bus Integration: Utilizes the CAN bus for communication, enabling efficient data transmission and control.

• Accurate Current Sharing: Implements precise current-sharing mechanisms to ensure even distribution of load among parallel power modules, enhancing reliability and efficiency.

• Real-Time Monitoring: Provides real-time monitoring of voltage, current, and other electrical parameters of the power supply bus, allowing for timely detection of abnormalities and proactive maintenance.

• Temperature Monitoring: Includes temperature sensing capabilities to monitor the operating temperature of the power supply system, helping prevent overheating and potential failures.

• Fault Detection and Diagnosis: Detects and diagnoses faults in the power supply system, enabling rapid troubleshooting and minimizing downtime.

• Modular Design: Features a modular design for easy installation, maintenance, and scalability, allowing for the addition of monitoring capabilities as needed.

• Safety Features: Incorporates safety features to protect against overloads, short circuits, and other electrical hazards, ensuring safe operation of the power supply system.

• Compatibility: Designed to be compatible with a wide range of switch power supply systems, offering versatility and flexibility in application.
