Description
GE DS3800HRMB1N1L
Technical Specifications
- Manufacturer: General Electric (GE)
- Product Series: Speedtronic MKIV
- Board Type: Battery ROM PCB
- Function: Non-volatile data storage and retention
Functional Features
- Data Retention: Utilizes an onboard battery backup to maintain memory contents indefinitely during power outages.
- Secure Storage: Safeguards critical turbine operating parameters and system configurations from accidental erasure.
- System Integrity: Ensures the turbine control system can resume normal operation immediately upon power restoration without requiring reconfiguration.
Application Scenarios
Exclusively utilized in power generation facilities operating GE Speedtronic MKIV controlled gas turbines, steam turbines, and combined cycle power plants.
Performance Parameters
- Memory Type: Battery-backed ROM for guaranteed non-volatility.
- Reliability: Engineered for continuous 24/7 operation in harsh industrial environments.
Material Composition
Constructed with industrial-grade printed circuit boards, high-reliability memory chips, and a secure battery mounting mechanism to prevent leakage and corrosion.
Structural Characteristics
Standard MKIV board form factor featuring rear backplane connectors and front-panel diagnostic indicators for easy system troubleshooting.
Working Principle
The board interfaces with the main MKIV processor via the backplane. During normal operation, it receives power from the system and allows read/write access. Upon power loss, the internal battery takes over, maintaining the memory state until primary power is restored.
Installation Requirements
Must be installed in the designated memory slot within the MKIV control rack. Ensure the board is fully seated and the retaining hardware is securely fastened.
Usage Precautions
Always observe strict electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions when handling. Periodically inspect the backup battery for signs of corrosion or leakage, and replace it according to the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule.
