Description
GE DS3800HMPJ1A1D Microprocessor Board
Product Overview
The GE DS3800HMPJ1A1D is a specialized microprocessor board designed for GE’s Mark IV Speedtronic turbine control system, serving as the computational core for real-time data processing and inter-module coordination in industrial gas and steam turbine applications . Engineered to manage critical control functions, this board executes control algorithms, processes sensor inputs, and interfaces with peripheral modules to ensure precise turbine operation.
Featuring a vertical pin connector and four standoffs for potential daughterboard expansion , the GE DS3800HMPJ1A1D enables modular system design. Its dual-sided layout includes over 50 integrated circuits, including multiple PROMs/EPROMs for storing control logic, ensuring reliable performance in high-vibration environments typical of power plants and refineries. The board supports RS-485 and Ethernet communication interfaces, facilitating seamless integration with other Mark IV modules .
As part of the Mark IV ecosystem, the GE DS3800HMPJ1A1D leverages GE’s Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) architecture, which uses duplicated processors to vote on inputs and minimize downtime . While the Mark IV series is considered obsolete, this board remains critical for legacy systems in power generation, oil & gas, and heavy machinery sectors.
