Description
Product Overview
The GE DS3800XTIA1A1B is a high-reliability Input/Output Circuit Board designed for GE’s Mark IV Speedtronic turbine control systems. Engineered to interface analog and digital signals in gas/steam turbine environments, this module integrates signal conditioning, isolation, and relay control functions. It features a hybrid design with discrete components like variable resistors, diodes, and jumper ports, enabling flexible configuration for turbine speed regulation, valve control, and safety interlock systems 15.
Constructed with industrial-grade components, the DS3800XTIA1A1B includes 30 yellow LEDs for real-time status monitoring, three large black female terminal ports (each with 12 gold contacts), and a medium-sized male terminal for backplane connectivity. Its front-panel potentiometer allows on-site adjustment of resistance values, while dual jumper port sets enable voltage/current input selection. The board supports hot-swappable replacement and withstands extreme temperatures (-20°C to +60°C), making it suitable for harsh industrial environments 15.
