Description
I. Basic Information
Part Number: IS215VPROH2BC (VPROH2B)Manufacturer: General ElectricProduct Type: Turbine Emergency Protection & Overspeed Trip Processing BoardApplicable System: GE Speedtronic Mark VI Turbine Control SystemCore Function: Independent emergency overspeed protection, ETS interlock trip logic judgment, trip solenoid drive, triple modular redundant safety voting, high-speed signal acquisition and fault event recording. It serves as the final safety barrier for gas/steam turbine units, which can reliably trigger unit shutdown when the main control system fails.
II. Hardware Structure
- High-performance industrial processor with 16MB DRAM and large-capacity Flash storage, maximum 100Hz high-speed sampling, trip response time ≤0.1s to realize rapid safety protection.
- Dual VME bus backplane interface, supporting TMR triple redundant X/Y/Z three-board voting architecture to eliminate single-point failure risk and meet SIL3 safety level requirements.
- Dual redundant IONET industrial Ethernet ports for inter-board data interaction, parameter downloading and fault alarm information uploading.
- Isolated 125VDC to 5V/28VDC DC-DC power conversion circuit, equipped with reverse connection, overvoltage and overcurrent multi-level hardware protection.
- On-board LED status indicators for power supply, communication, hardware fault and protection action, supporting rapid on-site troubleshooting.
- Extended interface matched with TREG/TPRO terminal boards, which can collect speed, temperature, interlock switching signals and drive multiple trip solenoids.
