GE DS3800HXCA Expansion Master Card

GE DS3800HXCA Expansion Master Card

Part Number DS3800HXCA Manufacturer General Electric Country of Manufacture As Per GE Manufacturing Policy Series Mark VI/VIe Function Module Availability In StockDS3800HXCA is an Expansion Master Card manufactured and designed by General Electric as part of the Mark IV Series used in GE Speedtronic Gas Turbine Control Systems. Expansion Master Card is used to expand the system's capabilities or connect with additional equipment. 

These cards are often found in control systems for industrial turbines, power plants, or other complex machinery. Expansion Master Cards typically serve the following purposes: Monitoring and Data Acquisition: These cards often have sensors and interfaces to monitor critical parameters such as temperature, pressure, speed, and vibration in real-time. They collect data from these sensors and send it to the control system for analysis. 

 Control and Regulation: They can also be involved in regulating the operation of the turbine. This could include adjusting fuel flow, controlling the opening and closing of turbine valves, and managing power output. Safety and Emergency Shutdown: These cards may play a role in safety systems, ensuring that the turbine shuts down safely in the event of abnormal conditions or emergencies, such as Overspeed or high temperature. 

 Communication: Many Master Expansion Cards provide communication interfaces to send data to a central control system or receive commands for remote monitoring and control. Redundancy and Reliability: In critical applications like turbine control, redundancy is often crucial for reliability. These cards may be part of redundant systems to ensure continuous operation and safety. Integration: They need to be integrated with the overall control and monitoring system of the turbine, often using industry-standard communication protocols and interfaces.

Compatibility 

ƒ Compatible with any Series 90-30 CPU except IC693CPU321 and IC693CPU340. Configuration size is limited for CPU311/313/331, as described on the next page. 

ƒ Requires release 8.0 CPU firmware. The latest Release 10 is recommended, if available for the particular CPU. 

ƒ Requires CIMPLICITY Machine Edition Logic Developer PLC version 3.0 plus the appropriate service pack or special (or a version later than 3.0). 

ƒ Not compatible with the VersaPro™, Control, or Logicmaster™ programming software. 

ƒ The Series 90-30 Hand-Held Programmer (IC693PRG300) cannot be used to configure this module. New Features The Series 90-30 DeviceNet Master Module allows a Series 90-30 PLC to send and receive I/O data from a DeviceNet network. 

Module features include: 

ƒ Support for all standard data rates (125K, 250K, 500K) 

ƒ Support for 255 bytes input data transfer and 255 bytes output data transfer per slave 

ƒ Support for 3972 bytes of input data transfer and 3972 bytes of output data transfer per master 

ƒ Support for two I/O connections per Slave - Typically one connection is used for Polled and the other is used for Strobe, Cyclic, or COS 

ƒ Support for Poll, Strobe, Cyclic and COS I/O Connections, Fragmented I/O and Explicit Messaging 

ƒ Support for Unconnected Message Manager (UCMM) with 1 proxy connection per slave device 

ƒ Support for configuration of the global scan rate 

ƒ Support for configuration of update rates for Poll and COS/Cyclic on a connection basis 

ƒ Support for PLC-application initiated explicit messaging via a COMMREQ 

ƒ Master can be configured to operate as a slave simultaneously with master operation 

ƒ Configurable fault behavior on loss of communication 

ƒ Reports loss or reestablishment of communication with slaves in PLC fault table (configurable) 

ƒ Support for 64 network device status bits (note: the bit for the master itself is always zero) 

ƒ Firmware update via service port on module
