Protective Logic Test Module

Protective Logic Test Module serves as a vital tool for evaluating and ensuring the performance of MKII SPEEDTRONIC R Turbine Control Panels. Designed with precision and practicality in mind, this module plays a critical role in various aspects of control panel operation. Here's an expanded look at its functions and applications:

• Purpose and Scope: Purpose-built for the comprehensive testing of all MKII SPEEDTRONIC R Turbine Control Panels. Its primary function is to facilitate the thorough assessment of new turbine control panel installations and to aid in the diagnosis of any issues with existing panels.
• New Panel Installations: During the installation of new turbine control panels, the test module assumes a crucial role. It is utilized to verify the functionality of the panels by monitoring and indicating the status of permissive and trip signals applied to the input of the turbine control panel's master protective Printed Wiring Board (PWB), known as VMPA or VMPC.
• Troubleshooting Existing Panels: In addition to its role in new installations, the test module is equally valuable for troubleshooting existing turbine control panels. It aids in the identification and resolution of random or unexpected trips within the system. This contributes to the overall reliability and performance of the control panels.
• Signal Monitoring: It provides the capability to monitor and display the status of output signals from the master protective PWB. This feature, represented by the front panel LED indicators, allows operators to gain insights into the performance of the control panel, providing valuable feedback for maintenance and problem-solving.
• Passive Device Nature: Operates as a passive device. It excels in the monitoring and indication of signal statuses both into and out of the master protective PWB. However, it is essential to note that the test module does not have the capability to actively manipulate or control signals or inhibit them from triggering the turbine control panel. It serves primarily as an observer and indicator of the panel's behavior.
