GE DS3800HXRA Series 6 Receiver Board

GE DS3800HXRA Series 6 Receiver Board

Part Number DS3800HXRA Manufacturer General Electric Country of Manufacture As Per GE Manufacturing Policy Series Mark VI/VIe Function Module Availability In StockDS3800HXRA is a Series Six Receiver Board manufactured and designed by General Electric as part of the Mark IV Series used in GE Speedtronic Gas Turbine Control Systems. In turbine control systems, the Series Six Receiver Board plays a critical role in receiving and processing signals from various sensors and instruments that monitor the operation of the turbine. These sensors may include speed sensors, temperature sensors, pressure sensors, and flow sensors, among others. 

The receiver board receives signals from these sensors and converts them into digital signals that are transmitted to the PLC. The PLC uses this data to monitor the performance of the turbine and make any necessary adjustments to maintain optimal operation. The Series Six Receiver Board is designed to operate in harsh industrial environments and is capable of withstanding high temperatures, vibration, and other environmental factors commonly found in turbine control systems. This makes it a reliable and robust component for use in these critical applications. 

 FEATURES: High Input Density: The receiver board supports a high input density, allowing it to receive signals from multiple sensors and instruments simultaneously. This is important in turbine control systems, where there may be numerous sensors and instruments that need to be monitored. Multiple Input Types: The Series Six Receiver Board supports a wide range of input types, including analog, digital, and pulse inputs. This makes it suitable for use with a variety of sensors and instruments commonly found in turbine control systems. High-speed Input Processing: The receiver board is designed to process input signals quickly, with a high-speed scan rate that ensures that data is received and processed in real time. This is important in turbine control systems, where any delays or lag in signal processing can result in poor performance or even damage to the turbine. 

Robust Construction: The Series Six Receiver Board is built to withstand harsh industrial environments, with rugged construction that is resistant to temperature extremes, vibration, and other environmental factors commonly found in turbine control systems. This ensures that the receiver board operates reliably and consistently, even in challenging conditions. Easy Integration with the PLC: The receiver board is designed to be easily integrated with the Series Six PLC, allowing for seamless communication and data transfer between the two components. This simplifies installation and maintenance and ensures that the system operates smoothly and efficiently.

ABOUT THE GE DS3800HXRA

The GE Series 6 Receiver Board DS3800HXRA is designed for quick installation in the drive. The board features a modular connector on 1 end and retention levers on the other end. The GE Series 6 Receiver Board DS3800HXRA also is populated with 2 40-pin connectors between the retention levers. The board is also populated with 1 34-pin connector on the board surface for connection to a daughter card, and 5 jumpers.

The GE Series 6 Receiver Board DS3800HXRA also is populated with standoffs that enable a daughter card to be attached. The daughter card does not operate independently, instead it works with the board. It receives electrical power from the board and it receives signals from the board. The signals are processed by the daughter card. Other signals are transmitted back to the board. The daughter card provides added processing and functionality to board. The daughter card is attached to the standoffs. Each corner of the daughter card has a hole and the standoffs fit into the holes. Press the card into the standoffs until the daughter cards snap into place. The daughter card will be attached securely. The daughter card is populated with a short 40-pin ribbon cable. The ribbon cable attaches to the 40-pin connector on the board.

Becauses of the added weight and size of the board with the daughter card attached, use care when you install the board in the board rack. Slide the board into the rack but keep the board from scraping against the rack or other components located in the interior of the drive.

The IO module has the following main functions

Input Function

The IO module can receive input signals sent by external devices and convert them into digital or analogue signals for use by the computer system or control system. These input signals can come from a variety of sensors, such as temperature sensors, pressure sensors, photosensitive sensors and so on. By receiving and parsing these input signals, the system can monitor and control the external environment in real time.

Output Functions

The IO module is capable of converting the output signals generated by a computer system or control system into the form required by an external device. These output signals are typically used to control actuators such as motors, valves, lights, etc. By sending appropriate output signals to external devices, the system enables control and operation of the external environment.

Data Acquisition and Processing

The IO module is capable of acquiring data from external devices and transferring it to a computer system or control system for further processing. This enables the system to acquire environmental data, status information and user inputs in real time and make appropriate decisions or perform specific tasks based on these data.

Communication Interfaces

IO modules are usually equipped with different types of communication interfaces, such as serial interfaces (RS232, RS485), Ethernet interfaces, CAN bus interfaces, and so on. These interfaces enable IO modules to exchange data and communicate efficiently with computer systems or other external devices.
