Controller Overview The Mark VI UCV_ controller is a 6U high, single or double slot, single board computer (SBC) that operates the turbine application code. The controller mounts in a VME rack called the control module, and communicates with the turbine I/O boards through the VME bus. The controller operating system is QNX, a real time, multitasking OS designed for high-speed, high reliability industrial applications. Three communication ports provide links to operator and engineering interfaces as follows:

• Ethernet connections to the UDH for communication with HMIs, and other control equipment

• RS-232C connection for setup using the COM1 port

• RS-232C connection for communication with distributed control systems (DCS) using the COM2 port (such as Modbus slave)

Operation Application software can be modified online without requiring a restart.

The controller is loaded with software specific to its application to Steam, Gas, and Land-Marine aeroderivative (LM), or Balance of Plant (BOP) products. It can execute up to 100,000 rungs or blocks per second, assuming a typical collection of average size blocks. An external clock interrupt permits the controller to synchronize to the clock on the VCMI communication board to within ± 100 microseconds.

External data is transferred to and from the Control System Database (CSDB) in the controller over the VME bus by the VCMI communication board. In a Simplex system, the data consists of the process inputs and outputs from the I/O boards. In a TMR system, the data consists of the voted inputs from the input boards, singular inputs from simplex boards, computed outputs to be voted by the output hardware, and the internal state values that must be exchanged between the controllers.

GEI-100550 UCV_Controller • 3

Page 16: Geh-6421 Vol i Mkvi Vol2

Controller Versions Four controller versions are in use:

Like all the I/O boards, the controller is configured using the Control System Toolbox. This software is summarized in GEH-6421D, Vol. I Mark VI System Guide, Chapter 6 Tools. For details refer to GEH-6403 Control System Toolbox for Configuring the Mark VI Turbine Controller.

• The single slot UCVE is the current generation controller used in most new systems.

• The double-slot UCVF is the high-end current generation controller used in only the systems that require it.

Note The double slot UCVB and UCVD are no longer shipped with new systems, but are still in use in older systems.

The UCVE and UCVF may be used to replace these other controllers, but require a backplane upgrade. If replacing a UCVB, an Ethernet cabling upgrade is also required.

Diagnostics If a failure occurs in the Mark VI controller while it is running application code, the rotating status LEDs (if supported) on the front panel stop and an internal fault code is generated.

Additionally, if the controller detects certain system errors (typically during startup or download) it displays flashing error codes on the status LEDs. These codes are called runtime errors, and descriptions are available on the toolbox Help screen. The error numbers and descriptions are also available on the controller serial port (COM1). For further information, refer to GEH-6421D, Vol. I Mark VI System Guide, Chapter 8, Troubleshooting and Diagnostics. Like the turbine I/O boards, the controller maintains an internal diagnostic queue that can be queried from the toolbox.

Installation A control module contains (at a minimum) the controller and a VCMI. There are three rack types that can be used, the GE Fanuc integrator’s rack shown in Figure 9-1, and two sizes of Mark VI racks shown in the section, VCMI - Bus Master Controller. The GE Fanuc rack is shorter and is used for stand-alone modules with remote I/O only. The Mark VI racks are longer and can be used for local or remote I/O. Whichever rack is used, a cooling fan is mounted either above or below the controller. The stand-alone control module implemented with a GE Fanuc integrator’s rack also requires a VDSK board to supply fan power and provide the rack identification through an ID plug.

UCVF Controller The UCVF is a double-slot board using an 850 MHz Intel Pentium III processor with 16 Mb of flash memory and 32 Mb of DRAM (see Figure 9-2). Two 10BaseT/100BaseTX (RJ-45 connector) Ethernet ports provide connectivity to the unit data highway (UDH).

A separate subnet address allows the controller to uniquely identify an Ethernet port. IP subnet addresses are obtained from the Ethernet network administrator. (for example, 192,168.1.0, 192.168.2.0).

The second Ethernet on the UCVF is for use on a separate IP logical subnet. Configuration of the second Ethernet port is performed through the toolbox. The controller validates its toolbox configuration against the existing hardware each time the rack is powered up.

6 • VCMI Bus Mater Controller GEI-100551

FeaturesThe VCMI architecture is based on the 32-bit Texas Instruments TMS320C32 digitalsignal processor (DSP). The main hardware features are:

• Interface to VME bus

• Three 10Base2 Ethernet ports

• One RS-232C serial port

• One parallel port

• Power system monitoring

• Board and cable ID reading

• Processor watchdog timer

IONet - Communications InterfaceFast I/O communicationthrough the VCMI supportsrapid controller response.

Communication between the control modules (control racks) and interface modules(I/O racks) is handled by the VCMIs. In the control module the VCMI operates asthe IONet master while in the interface module it operates as an IONet slave. VCMIestablishes the network ID, and displays the network ID, channel ID, and status onits front panel.

Physically, IONet communication is 10Base2 Ethernet using thin wire RG-58 coaxcable. The VCMI supports all three ports simultaneously.

The VCMI serves as the master frame counter for all nodes on the IONet. Operationframes are sequentially numbered and all nodes on IONet operate in the same frameThis ensures that selected data is transmitted and operated on correctly.

Input Data Collection - Simplex SystemsWhen used in an interface module, the VCMI collects input data from the I/O boardsand transmits it to the control module over IONet.

In the control module, as packets of input data are received from various racks on theIONet, the VCMI transfers them through the VME bus to the Mark VI controller forprocessing.

Input Data Collection and Voting - TMR SystemsFor a small TMR system, all the I/O may be handled in one (triplicated) module. Inthis case the VCMI transfers, over the VME bus, the input values from each of theI/O boards to the pre-vote table, and simultaneously transmits the data as an inputpacket on the IONet. When the input packets from the other two racks are received,they are also transferred to the pre-vote table. The input data is then voted and theresult is placed in a voted table and copied to the controller for processing. Analogdata (floating point) is voted by median select, while logical data (bit values) is two-out-of-three votes .

For a larger TMR system with remote I/O racks, the procedure is very similar exceptthat packets of input values may come into each master VCMI not only from I/Oboards in its own rack, but also from remote I/O racks in its channel through IONet.After all the input data for the channel is accumulated, it is placed in the pre-votetable and then sent to the other control modules over IONet. When the input packetsfrom all three channels have been received by a master VCMI, voting occurs asdescribed above.

Page 41: Geh-6421 Vol i Mkvi Vol2

GEI-100551 VCMI Bus Master Controller • 7

State Exchange and Voting - TMR SystemsA selected portion of the variables in a controller (for example, the internal statessuch as counter/timer values and sequence steps) must also be transferred across theIONet to be voted by the VCMIs and recopied to the controllers. This is known asthe state exchange. The synchronization of state variables ensures that no steps aregenerated in the outputs if one of the controllers fails, or is powered down and backup again.

Output Data DistributionAfter application code operation, the VCMI reads the output values from thecontroller across the VME bus. All the output data from a control module VCMI isplaced in one packet. This packet is then broadcast on the IONet and received by allconnected interface and control modules. Each interface module VCMI extracts therequired information and distributes to its associated I/O boards.

Voter Disagreement Detector For logic values, anydisagreement is consideredbad. A time delay is requiredbefore generating an alarm toeliminate the problem oftransients causing falsealarms.

The master VCMIs generate diagnostics when local pre-vote data does not match theresulting voted data. The first pass through the pre-vote data determines the controlvalues to be used. On the second pass, the VCMI determines whether bad valuesexist by comparing its set of local channel pre-vote values with the voted result. Ifthere is any disagreement then the local value has been outvoted and represents a badvalue. For analog values, a dead band is defined to allow minor variations in the pre-vote values without creating an alarm.

PerformanceThe Simplex frame rate can be as fast as 10 milliseconds allowing turbine control at100 Hz, while the TMR frame rate can be as fast as 20 ms for control at 50 Hz.

The control module is synchronized to the wall clock ensuring the sequence ofevents (SOE) times are within 1 ms of the actual event times.

Board IDs and AddressesThis switch provides theIONet address and R/S/Tchannel identity, and is readby the VCMI to determinewhat channel it is on.

Each terminal board has an ID chip for each cable connector that is read serially intothe I/O board. Each I/O board in the VME rack, plus the VCMI, also has its own IDchip which is read by the VCMI, so the VCMI can acquire the identity of all theboards and associated terminal boards in its rack. In addition, there is an eight-bitconfiguration switch on the backplane tied to slot 1 of the VME rack.

The VCMI in the control rack acquires packages of ID information from each I/Orack. These contain the catalog number, serial number, and revision of each board inthe module along with the slot number, and the identity of each terminal board withits slot P3/P4 location. This information is captured and stored in the controller.

Watchdog TimerOn line testing of thewatchdog function can beperformed.

The watchdog timer protects against a processor stall condition. If a stall occurs thewatchdog times out after approximately 200 ms and resets the processor. It notifiesthe VME backplane that the processor has been reset, and shuts off IONetcommunication while stalled.

DiagnosticsThe internal 5 V, 12 V, 15 V, and 28 V power supply buses are monitored andalarmed. The alarm settings are configurable and usually set at 3.5%, except for the28 V supplies, which are set at 5.5%.

Diagnostic signals from the power distribution module (PDM), connected throughJ301, are also monitored. These include ground fault and over/under voltage on theP125 V bus, two differential ±5V dc analog inputs, P28A and PCOM for externalmonitor circuits, and digital inputs.

Descriptions of the VCMI diagnostics are in GEH-6421, Vol. I Mark VI SystemGuide, Chapter 8, Troubleshooting and Diagnostics.

ConfigurationThe I/O boards, the VCMI is configured using the toolbox. This software usuallyruns on a data highway connected CIMPLICITY station or workstation. Thefollowing table defines configuration choices and defaults. For details refer to GEH-6403 Control System Toolbox for Configuring the Mark VI Controller.

OperationThe 24 thermocouple inputs on the TBTC can be grounded or ungrounded. They canbe located up to 300 meters (984 feet) from the turbine control cabinet with amaximum two-way cable resistance of 450 ohms. High frequency noise suppressionand two cold junction reference devices are mounted on the board.

Linearization for individual thermocouple types is performed in software by VTCC.A thermocouple which is determined to be out of the hardware limits is removedfrom the scanned inputs in order to prevent adverse affects on other input channels.If both cold junction devices are within the configurable limits, then the average ofthe two is used for cold junction compensation. If only one cold junction device iswithin the configurable limits, then that cold junction is used for compensation. Ifneither cold junction device is within the configurable limits, then a default value isused.

Note VTCC boards manufactured after software version VTCC-100100C andhigher have additional thermocouple and cold junction features. The new designboards permit the use of S-type thermocouples, in addition to all previous types.They also provide for a remote cold junction compensation feature for thermocoupleinputs. This allows the user to select whether cold junction compensation is donebased on a temperature reading at a remote location or at the terminal board asexplained above. The calculations are the same as previous VTCC boards, only thesource of the cold junction reading changes.

Thermocouple inputs are supported over a full-scale input range of –8.0 mV to +45.0mV. The following table shows typical input voltages for different thermocoupletypes versus minimum and maximum temperature range. It is assumed the coldjunction temperature ranges from +32 to +158 °F.

The thermocouple inputs andcold junction inputs areautomatically calibratedusing the filtered calibrationreference and zero voltages.

There are two cold junction references used per VTCC, one for connector J3 and J4.Each reference can be selected as either remote (from VME bus) or local (fromassociated terminal board, T type or D type). All references are then treated as sensorinputs (for example, averaged, limits configured). The two references can be mixed,one local and one remote. Cold junction signals go into signal space and areavailable for monitoring. Normally the average of the two is used. Acceptable limitsare configured, and if a cold junctions goes outside the limit, a logic signal is set. A 1°F error in the cold junction compensation causes a 1°F error in the TC reading.

Hard coded limits are set at 32 to 158 °F, and if a cold junction goes outside these, itis regarded as bad. Most cold junction failures are open or short circuit. If one coldjunction fails, the good one is used. If both cold junctions go bad, the backup value isused, which can be derived from cold junction readings on other terminal boards, orcan be the configured default value.

DiagnosticsThree LEDs at the top of the front panel provide status information. The normalRUN condition is a flashing green, and FAIL is a solid red. The third LED shows asteady orange if a diagnostic alarm condition exists in the board.

Each thermocouple type has Hardware Limit Checking based on preset (non-configurable) high and low levels set near the ends of the operating range. If thislimit is exceeded a logic signal is set and the input is no longer scanned. If any one ofthe 24 inputs hardware limits is set it creates a composite diagnostic alarm,L3DIAG_VTCC, referring to the entire board. Details of the individual diagnosticsare available from the toolbox. The diagnostic signals can be individually latched,and then reset with the RESET_DIA signal.

In TMR, systems limit logicsignals are voted and theresulting compositediagnostic is present in eachcontroller.

Each thermocouple input has system limit checking based on configurable high andlow levels. These limits can be used to generate alarms, and can be configured forenable/disable, and as latching/nonlatching. RESET_SYS resets the out of limitsignals.

Each terminal board cable has its own ID device, which is interrogated by the I/Oboard. The board ID is coded into a read-only chip containing the terminal boardserial number, board type, revision number, and the JA1/JB1 connector location.

DTTC Simplex Thermocouple Terminal BoardThe DTCC board is a compact terminal board designed for DIN-rail mounting. Theboard has 12 thermocouple inputs and connects to the VTCC thermocoupleprocessor board with a single 37-pin cable. This cable is identical to the one used onthe larger TBCC terminal board. The on-board signal conditioning and cold junctionreference are identical to those on the TBTC board.

An on-board ID chipidentifies the board to theVTCC for system diagnosticpurposes.

Two DTTC boards can be connected to the VTCC for a total of 24 inputs. Only thesimplex version of the board is available. The terminal boards can be stackedvertically on the DIN-rail to conserve cabinet space. High density Euro-Block typeterminal blocks are permanently mounted to the board with two screw connectionsfor the ground connection (SCOM). Every third screw connection is for the shield.

Functional DescriptionThe Resistance Temperature Device (RTD) processor board (VRTD) accepts 16,three-wire RTD inputs. These inputs are wired to two barrier type blocks on the RTDterminal board (TRTD). Inputs to TRTD have noise suppression circuitry to protectagainst surge and high frequency noise. Cables with molded fittings connect theterminal board to the VME rack where the VRTD processor board is located.

There are two versions of TRTD, simplex and a TMR version that fans out thesignals to three VRTD boards. VRTD converts the inputs to digital temperaturevalues and transfers them over the VME backplane to the VCMI, and then to thecontroller.

TRTDH1B provides redundant RTD inputs by fanning the inputs out to VRTDboards in the R, S, and T. The inputs meet the same environmental, codes,resolution, suppression, and function requirements as with the TRTD terminal board,however, the fast scan is not available.

All RTD signals have high frequency decoupling to ground at signal entry. RTDmultiplexing on the VRTD boards is coordinated by redundant pacemakers so thatthe loss of a single cable or loss of a single VRTD does not cause the loss of anyRTD signals in the control database. VRTD boards in R, S, and T read RTDssimultaneously, but skewed by two RTDs, so that when R is reading RTD3, S isreading RTD5, and T is reading RTD7, and so on. This ensures that the same RTD isnot excited by two VRTDs simultaneously, and hence produce bad readings.

OperationThe terminal board supplies a 10 mA dc multiplexed (not continuous) excitationcurrent to each RTD, which can be grounded or ungrounded. The 16 RTDs can belocated up to 300 meters (984 feet) from the turbine control cabinet with a maximumtwo-way cable resistance of 15 ohms.

The VCO type A/D converter in the VRTD board uses voltage to frequencyconverters and sampling counters. The converter samples each signal and theexcitation current four times per second for normal mode scanning, and 25 times persecond for fast mode scanning, using a time sample interval related to the powersystem frequency. Linearization for the selection of 15 RTD types is performed insoftware by the digital signal processor.

RTD open and short circuits are detected by out of range values. An RTD that isdetermined to be out of hardware limits is removed from the scanned inputs in orderto prevent adverse affects on other input channels. Repaired channels are reinstatedautomatically in 20 seconds, or can be manually reinstated.

DiagnosticsThree LEDs at the top of the VRTD front panel provide status information. Thenormal RUN condition is a flashing green and FAIL is a solid red. The third LED isnormally off but shows a steady orange if a diagnostic alarm condition exists in theboard.

Two types of diagnostic checking are applied to all inputs, hardware limit checkingand system limit checking.

Each RTD type has hardware limit checking based on preset (non-configurable) highand low levels set near the ends of the operating range. If this limit is exceeded alogic signal is set and the input is no longer scanned. If any one of the 16 input’shardware limits is set it creates a composite diagnostic alarm, L3DIAG_VRTD,referring to the entire board. Details of the individual diagnostics are available fromthe toolbox. The diagnostic signals can be individually latched, and then reset withthe RESET_DIA signal.

Each RTD input has system limit checking based on configurable high and lowlevels. These limits can be used to generate alarms, and can be configured forenable/disable, and as latching/nonlatching. RESET_SYS resets the out of limitsignals. In TMR systems limit logic signals are voted and the resulting compositediagnostic is present in each controller.

Each connector has its own ID device, which is interrogated by the I/O board. Theboard ID is coded into a read-only chip containing the terminal board serial number,board type, revision number, and the JA1/JB1 connector location. The TMR boardversion has six ID chips, one for each connector.

Descriptions of the VRTD diagnostics are in GEH-6421D, Vol. I Mark VI SystemGuide, Chapter 8, Troubleshooting and Diagnostics.

DRTD Simplex Thermocouple Terminal BoardThe DRTD board is a compact RTD terminal board, designed for DIN-rail mounting.The board has eight RTD inputs and connects to the VRTD processor board with asingle 37-pin cable. This cable is identical to those used on the larger TRTD terminalboard. The terminal boards can be stacked vertically on the DIN-rail to conservecabinet space. Two DRTD boards can be connected to the VRTD for a total of 16temperature inputs. Only a simplex version of the board is available.

The on-board noise suppression is similar to that on the TRTD. High density Euro-Block type terminal blocks are permanently mounted to the board, with two screwconnections for the ground connection (SCOM). An on-board ID chip identifies theboard to the VRTD for system diagnostic purposes.

Functional DescriptionThe Analog Input Board (VAIC) accepts 20 analog inputs and controls four analogoutputs. Ten inputs and two outputs are wired to each Analog Input Terminal board(TBAI). Inputs and outputs have noise suppression circuitry to protect against surgeand high frequency noise. Cables connect the terminal board to the VME rack wherethe VAIC processor board is located.

The VAIC converts the inputs to digital values and transfers these over the VMEbackplane to the VCMI, and then to the controller. Input signals are fanned out tothree VME board racks R, S, and T for TMR applications. The VAIC requires twoterminal boards to monitor 20 inputs.

GEI-100555 VAIC Analog Input Boards • 7

In a TMR system, analog inputs fan out to the three control racks from JR1, JS1, andJT1. The 24 V dc power to the transducers comes from all three VAIC boards and isdiode shared on the terminal board. Each analog current output is fed by currentsfrom all three VAICs.

The actual output current is measured with a series resistor, which feeds a voltageback to each control rack. The resulting output is the voted middle value of the threecurrents.

With the above noisesuppression and filtering, theinput ac common moderejection (CMR) is 60 dB, andthe dc CMR is 80 dB.

Transmitter/transducers can be powered by the 24 V dc source in the control system,or can be independently powered. Terminal board jumpers J#A, J#B, and JO set upthe type of voltage and current inputs, and select the type of current output. Eachoutput is monitored by diagnostics, and a suicide relay disconnects thecorresponding output if a fault cannot be cleared by a command from the processor.

Hardware filters on the terminal board suppress high frequency noise. Additionalsoftware filters on VAIC provide configurable low pass filtering.VAIC Board Specifications

DiagnosticsThree LEDs at the top of the VAIC front panel provide status information. Thenormal RUN condition is a flashing green, and FAIL is a solid red. The third LED isnormally off but displays a steady orange if a diagnostic alarm condition exists in theboard.

Each analog input has hardware limit checking based on preset (non-configurable)high and low levels set near the ends of the operating range. If this limit is exceededa logic signal is set and the input is no longer scanned. If any one of the input’shardware limits is set, it creates a composite diagnostic alarm, L3DIAG_VAIC,which refers to the entire board. Details of the individual diagnostics are availablefrom the toolbox. The diagnostic signals can be individually latched, and then resetwith the RESET_DIA signal.

Each input has system limit checking based on configurable high and low levels.These limits can be used to generate alarms, and can be configured forenable/disable, and as latching/nonlatching. RESET_SYS resets the out of limits.Details of the diagnostics are in GEH-6421D, Vol. I Mark VI System Guide, Chapter8, Troubleshooting and Diagnostics.

The TBAI terminal board has its own ID device, which is interrogated by the I/Oboard. The board ID is coded into a read-only chip containing the terminal boardserial number, board type, revision number, and the JR, JS, JT connector location.

DTAI Simplex Analog Input Terminal BoardThe DTAI board is a compact analog input terminal board, designed for DIN-railmounting. The board has 10 analog inputs and two analog outputs, and connects tothe VAIC processor board with a single 37-pin. This cable is identical to those usedon the larger TBAI terminal board. The terminal boards can be stacked vertically onthe DIN-rail to conserve cabinet space.

Two DTAI boards can be connected to the VAIC for a total of 20 analog inputs andfour analog outputs. Only a Simplex version of the board is available.

The functions and on-board noise suppression are the same as those on the TBAI.High density Euro-Block type terminal blocks are permanently mounted to theboard, with two screw connections for the ground connection (SCOM). An on-boardID chip identifies the board to the VAIC for system diagnostic purposes.

Functional DescriptionThe Analog Output Board (VAOC) controls 16 analog, 20 mA, outputs. Theseoutputs are wired to two barrier type blocks on the Analog Output Terminal board(TBAO). Noise suppression circuitry to protect against surge and high frequencynoise is mounted on the terminal board. Cables with molded plugs connect theterminal board to the VME rack where the VAOC processor board is located. TheVAOC receives digital values from the controller over the VME backplane from theVCMI, and converts these to analog output currents.

Note TMR applications control signals are fanned into the same terminal boardfrom three VME board racks R, S, and T (see figure below). Six cables are requiredto support all 16 outputs with TMR.

6 • VAOC Analog Output Board GEI-100556

In a TMR system, each analog current output is fed by the sum of the currents fromthe three VAOCs as shown in the figure below. The total output current is measuredwith a series resistor which feeds a voltage back to each control rack and VAOC.The resulting output is the voted middle value of the three currents. If one outputfails, the other two pickup the current to the correct value. If one output fails high, itis disconnected by the shutdown relay.

GEI-100556 VAOC Analog Output Board • 7

SpecificationsEach output is monitored by diagnostics. Voltage drops across the local and outerloop current sense resistors, at the control reference, D/A outputs, and at theshutdown relay contacts are sampled and digitized. In the event of a malfunction thatcannot be cleared by a command from the processor, the circuit is disconnected byopening the shutdown relay contacts. This isolation function is only operationalwhen configured for TMR operation. Filters reduce high frequency noise andsuppress surge on each output near the point of signal exit.

Item Specification

Number of channels 16 current output channels, single ended (one sideconnected to common)

Analog outputs 0 − 20 mA, up to 500 ohm burdenResponse better than 50 rad/sec

D/A converter resolution/accuracy 12-bit resolution with 0.5% accuracy

Frame rate 100 Hz on all 16 outputs

Fault detection Local currentOuter total (TMR) currentD/A converter outputSuicide relay operation

DiagnosticsThree LEDs at the top of the VAOC front panel provide status information. Thenormal RUN condition is a flashing green, and FAIL is a solid red. The third LED isnormally off but displays a steady orange if a diagnostic alarm condition exists in theboard.

Standard diagnostic information is available on the inputs and outputs, includinghigh and low limit checks, and high and low system limit checks (configurable). Ifany one of the 16 outputs goes unhealthy a composite diagnostic alarm,L3DIAG_VAOC, occurs. Details of the individual diagnostics are available from thetoolbox. The diagnostic signals can be individually latched, and then reset with theRESET_DIA signal if they go healthy.

Each cable connector on the terminal board has its own ID device which isinterrogated by the I/O board. The ID device is a read-only chip coded with theterminal board serial number, board type, revision number, and the JR, JS, JTconnector location.

DTAO Simplex Analog Output Terminal BoardThe DTAO board is a compact analog output terminal board, designed for DIN-railmounting. The DTAO board has eight analog outputs and connects to the VAOCprocessor board with a single 37-pin cable. This cable is identical to those used onthe larger TBAO terminal board.

The terminal boards can be stacked vertically on the DIN-rail to conserve cabinetspace. Two DTAO boards can be connected to the VAOC for a total of 16 analogoutputs. Only a Simplex version of this board is available.

The functions and on-board noise suppression are the same as those on TBAO. Highdensity Euro-Block type terminal blocks are permanently mounted to the board, withtwo screw connections for the ground connection (SCOM). An on-board ID chipidentifies the board to the VAOC for system diagnostic purposes

TBCI Terminal Board Wiring

OperationThe VCCC passes the input voltages through optical isolators and transfers thesignals over the VME backplane to the VCMI. The VCMI then sends them to thecontroller. The contact input processing is shown in the following figure.

The TBCIH1 dry contact inputs are powered from a floating 125 V dc (100 − 145 Vdc) supply from the turbine control. Power converters convert the 115/230 V acand/or 125 V dc power sources to a redundant, internal 125 V dc bus to power theelectronics. The 125 V dc bus is current limited in the Power Distribution Moduleprior to feeding each contact input. The TBCIH2 dry contact inputs are poweredfrom a floating 24 V dc (18.5 – 32 V dc) supply.

A pair of termination points is provided for each input with one point (screw)providing the positive dc source and the second point providing the return (input) tothe board. The current loading is 2.5 mA per point for 21 of the inputs on eachterminal board, and the other three have a 10 mA load to support interface withremote solid-state output electronics.

Each input is optically isolated and sampled at frame rate for control functions, andat 1ms for SOE reporting. A 4 ms hardware filter is used, and noise rejection is 60 Vrms at 125 V dc excitation. Contact input circuitry is designed for NEMA Class Gcreepage and clearance.

For TMR applications contact input voltages are fanned out to three VME boardracks R, S, and T via plugs JR1, JS1, and JT1. The signals are processed by the threeVCCCs and the results voted by the VCMI board in each controller rack.

TICI Isolated Digital Input BoardThe Isolated Digital Input terminal board (TICI) is an input board which works withVCCC (but not VCRC) in a similar way to TBCI. TICI provides voltage detectioncircuits to detect a range of voltages across relay contacts, fuses, and switches.

The TICI is similar to the TBCI, except for the following items:

TICI input voltage ranges are:

• 70 − 145 V dc, nominal 125 V dc, with a detection threshold of 39 to 61 V dc

• 200 − 250 V dc, nominal 250 V dc, with a detection threshold of 39 to 61 V dc

• 90 − 132 V rms, nominal 115 V rms, 47-63 Hz, with a detection threshold of 35to 76 V ac

• 190 − 264 V rms, nominal 230 V rms, 47-63 Hz, with a detection threshold of35 to 76 V ac

Input hardware filtering is provided using time delays of 15 ms, nominal:

• For dc applications the time delay is 15 ± 8 ms

• For ac applications the time delay is 15 ± 13 msIn addition to hardware filters, the contact input state is software filtered usingconfigurable time delays, selected from 0, 10, 20, 50, and 100 ms. For ac inputs, afilter of at least 10 ms is recommended.

DTCI Simplex Contact Input Terminal BoardVCRC is a single-width boardand is preferred to VCCC.

The DTCI board is a compact contact input terminal board, designed for DIN-railmounting. The DTCI board has 24 contact inputs with a nominal excitation of 24 Vdc, and connects to the VCCC (VCRC) processor board with a single 37-pin cable.The terminal boards can be stacked vertically on a DIN-rail to conserve cabinetspace. Two DTCI boards can be connected to the VCRC for a total of 48 contactinputs. Only a Simplex version of this board is available.

The function and on-board signal conditioning are the same as those on TBCI,except they are scaled for 24 V dc. High density Euro-Block type terminal blocks arepermanently mounted to the board with two screw connections for the groundconnection (SCOM ). The input excitation range is 18 to 32 V dc, and the thresholdvoltage is 50% of the excitation voltage. The ac voltage rejection is 12 V rms.Contact inputs take 2.5 mA nominal current on the first 21 circuits, and 10 mA oncircuits 22 through 24.

InstallationThe customer’s 12 relay outputs are wired directly to two I/O terminal blocksmounted on the terminal board as shown in the figure below. Each block is helddown with two screws and has 24 terminals accepting up to #12 AWG wires.

A shield termination strip attached to chassis ground is located immediately to theleft of each terminal block. Solenoid power for outputs 1−6 is plugged to JF1normally. JF2 can be used to daisy-chain power to other TRLYs. Alternativelycustomer power may be wired directly into TB3 when power is not plugged intoJF1/JF2. JG1 provides power to customer’s special solenoid, Output 12.

These jumpers are forisolation of the monitorcircuit when used on isolatedcontact applications.

Jumpers JP1−JP6 are removed in the factory and shipped in a plastic bag. Reinstallthe appropriate jumper if power to a field solenoid is required. The fuses should alsobe removed for this application to ensure that suppression leakage is removed fromthe power bus.

OperationFor simplex operation, cables carry control signals plus monitor feedback voltagesbetween VCCC to TRLY through JA1. Relay drivers, fuses, and jumpers aremounted on the relay board. The first six relay circuits can be jumpers configured foreither dry, Form-C contact outputs, or to drive external solenoids. A standard 125 Vdc or 115 V ac source, or an optional 24 V dc source, with on-board suppression canbe provided for solenoid power. This comes in on JF1 (or TB) as shown in the figurebelow. The next five relays (7 − 11) are unpowered isolated Form-C contacts.Output 12 is an isolated Form-C contact, used for ignition transformers, for example.

DiagnosticsThree LEDs at the top of the VCCC front panel provide status information. Thenormal RUN condition is a flashing green, FAIL is a solid red. The third LED isnormally off but shows a steady orange if a diagnostic alarm condition exists in theboard.

Each of the three terminalboard connectors have theirown ID device which isinterrogated by the I/O board.The board ID is coded into aread-only chip containing theboard serial number, boardtype, revision number, and theJR1/JS1/JT1 connectorlocation.

The output of each relay (coil current) is monitored and checked against thecommand at the frame rate. If there is no agreement for two consecutive checks, analarm is latched. The solenoid excitation voltage is monitored downstream of thefuses and an alarm is latched if it falls below 12 V ac/dc.

If any one of the 12 outputs goes unhealthy a composite diagnostic alarm,L3DIAG_VCCC occurs. Details of the individual diagnostics are available from thetoolbox. The diagnostic signals can be individually latched, and then reset with theRESET_DIA signal if they go healthy.

TRLYH1C Relay Outputs with Voltage SensingRelay contact voltage detection is available with the optional TRLYH1C relayterminal board. TRLYH1C is driven by VCCC (or VCRC) in the same way asTRLY, and has the same 12 output relays. Voltage sensing is done with 18 smallvoltage monitor boards as shown in figure below. Individual voltage monitors can beisolated by removing a jumper.

TRLYH1C is the same as the standard TRLY board except for the following:

• Six jumpers for converting the solenoid outputs to dry contact type are removed.These jumpers were associated with the fuse monitoring.

• Input relay coil monitoring is removed from the 12 relays.

• Relay contact voltage monitoring is added to the 12 relays. Individualmonitoring circuits have voltage suppression, and can be isolated by removingtheir associated jumper.

• High frequency snubbers are installed across the NO and Sol terminals on thesix solenoid driver circuits and on the special circuit, output 12.

The contact voltage ranges for the monitors are as follows:

• 16-32 V dc, nominal 24 V dc

• 70-145 V dc, nominal 125 V dc

• 90-132 V rms, nominal 115 V rms, 47-63 Hz

• 190-264 V rms, nominal 230 V rms, 47-63 Hz

The threshold voltage ranges for the monitors are as follows:

• 24 V dc applications: 10 to 16 V dc

• 125 V dc applications: 40 to 65 V dc

• 115/230 V ac applications: 45 to 72 V ac

The contact input state is software filtered using time delays.

TRLYH1D Relay Outputs with Solenoid Integrity Sensing

Page 133: Geh-6421 Vol i Mkvi Vol2

GEI-100557 VCCC Boards • 23

The TRLYH1D board with solenoid integrity sensing provides six powered relayoutputs for controlling 24 V dc, 110 V dc, or 125 V dc solenoids. For 24 V dcsolenoids, the solenoid monitoring function can accommodate solenoids withnominal resistance of 17 to 53 ohms. A BAD 24 V SOLENOID alarm is annunciatedif this resistance is outside of a 10 to 150 ohm band. For 110/125 V dc solenoids, thesolenoid monitoring function can accommodate solenoids with nominal resistance of300 to 1100 ohms. A BAD 110/125V SOLENOID alarm is annunciated if itsresistance is outside of a 167 to 2500 ohm band. There are two normally open (NO)relay contacts for each solenoid. Solenoid current flows through 3.15 Amp, timedelay fuses, which have a short circuit rating of 35 Amps.

Each solenoid fuse pair is monitored downstream of the fuses and gives a latchedalarm when the fuse output is less than 16 V dc (± 4 V dc). The TRLYH1D board iscontrolled by either the VCCC daughterboard or the VCRC (both mounted in theVME rack).

The TRLYH1D is similar to the TRLYH1B board with the following differences:

• Only six relays configured as solenoid drivers

• Designed for 24 /110/ 125 V dc applications only

• Solenoid relay circuits have a normally open (NO) contact in the return side aswell as the source side.

• No relay coil monitoring

• Cannot be configured for externally powered dry contact use

• Provides solenoid integrity monitoring

• No special use relay for driving an ignition transformer

• Not backward compatible with either the TRLYH_B or TRLYH_C.

DiagnosticsDiagnostic alarm signals and one alarm reset signal are provided. When eachsolenoid is de-energized, the resistance is monitored for abnormal values. If a badsolenoid is detected two consecutive times, the VCCC or VCRC board will set alatched alarm, one per relay. The solenoid detection signal has a 1.3 second delaybecause the solenoid contacts must be open for at least 1.3 seconds to get a validreading.

Diagnostic messages are posted for each relay output as follows:

• Solenoid #x has an electrical open or short circuit

• Solenoid #x has no voltage source, check fusing

DRLY Simplex Relay Output Terminal BoardsThere are two versions of the DRLY terminal board, H1A and H1B. The H1A hashigher-powered relay contacts that H1B.

VCRC is a single-width boardand is preferred to the VCCC.

The DRLY board is a compact relay output terminal board designed for wallmounting (not DIN-rail mounting). The board has 12 output relays, each with oneform-C contact, and connects to the VCRC processor board with a single 73-pincable. The 37-pin cable is identical to those used on the larger TRLY terminal board.Two DRLY boards can be connected to the VCRC for a total of 24 contact outputs.Only a simplex version of this board is available. Solenoid source power is notincluded, and there is one set of dry contacts per relay, (there are two NO contacts inseries). The relay outputs meet NEMA Class B 300 V creepage and clearance.Unlike TRLY, there is no on-board suppression, and no relay state monitoring.

Functional DescriptionThe Servo Board (VSVO) controls four electrohydraulic servo valves that actuate thesteam/fuel valves. These four channels are divided between two TSVO terminalboards. Valve position is measured with linear variable differential transformers(LVDT). Three cables to VSVO use the J5 plug on the front on the board and theJ3/4 connectors on the VME rack. TSVO provides Simplex signals via the JR1connector, and fans out TMR signals to the JR, LS, and JT connectors. Plugs JD1 orJD2 are for external trip from the protection module.

Operation

Refer to the figures for inputsand outputs.

The servo board provides four channels consisting of bi-directional servo currentoutputs, LVDT position feedback, LVDT excitation and pulse rate flows inputs. TheTSVO provides excitation for, and accepts inputs from , up to six LVDT valveposition inputs. There is a choice of one, two three, or four LDTs for each servocontrol loop. If three inputs are used they are available for gas turbine flowmeasuring applications, and these signals come through TSVO and go directly to theVSVO board front at J5.

Each servo output is equipped with an individual suicide relay under firmwarecontrol that shorts the VSVO output signal to signal common when de-energized,and recovers to nominal limits after a manual reset command is issued. Diagnosticsmonitor the output status of each servo voltage, current and suicide relay.

The primary and emergencyoverspeed systems will tripthe hydraulic solenoidsindependent of this circuit.

Each of the servo output channels can drive either one or two-coil servos in Simplexapplications, or two or three-coil servos in TMR applications. The two-coil TMRapplications are for 200# oil gear systems where each of two control modules driveone coil each. And the third module has to servo interface. Servo cable lengths up to300 meters (984 feet) are supported with a maximum two-way cable resistance of 15ohms. Sine there are many types of servo coils, a variety of bi-directional currentsources are jumper selectable.

Another trip override relay K1 is provided on each terminal board which is drivenfrom the <P> Protection Module. If an emergency overspeed condition is detected inthe Protection Module, the K1 relay will energize and disconnect the VSVO servooutput from the terminal block and apply a bias to drive the control valve closed.This is only used on Simplex applications to protect against the servo amplifierfailing high, and is functional only with respect to the servo coils driven from <R>.

The total resistance would beequivalent to the standardsetting.

The following table defines the standard servo coil resistance and their associatedinternal resistance, selectable with the terminal board jumpers shown in the figureabove. In addition to these standard servo coils, it is possible to drive non-standardcoils by using a non-standard jumper setting. For example, an 80 mA, 125-ohm coilcould be driven by using a jumper setting 120B.

The excitation source isisolated from signal common(floating) and is capable ofoperation at common modevoltages up to 35 V dc, or 35V rms, 50/60 Hz.

Control valve position is sensed with either a four wire LVDT or a three-wire linearvariable differential reluctance (LVDR). Redundancy implementations for thefeedback devices is determined by the application software to allow the maximumflexibility. LVDT/Rs can be mounted up to 300 meters (984 feet) from the turbinecontrol with a maximum two-way cable resistance of 15 ohms.

Two LVDT/R excitation sources are located on each terminal board for Simplexapplications and another two for TMR applications. Excitation voltage is 7 V rmsand the frequency is 3.2 kHz with a total harmonic distortion of less than 1% whenloaded.

The software limit check isadjustable in the field.

A typical LVDT/R has an output of 0.7 V rms as the zero stroke position of the valvestem, and an output of 3.5 V rms at the designed maximum stoke position (someapplications have these reversed). The LVDT/R input is converted to dc andconditioned with a low pass filter. Diagnostics perform a high/low (hardware) limitcheck on the input signal and a high/low system (software) limit check.

Two pulse rate inputs are cabled to a single J5 connector on the VSVO board front.This is a dedicated connection to minimize noise sensitivity on the pulse rate inputs.

Inputs support both passive magnetic pickups and active pulse rate transducers (TTLtype) interchangeably without configuration. Normally, these inputs are not used onsteam turbine applications, but are usually for liquid fuel flow measurement, andmonitoring flow divider feedback in gas turbine applications. Pulse rate inputs can belocated up to 300 meters (984) from the turbine control cabinet; this assumesshielded-pair cable is used with typically 70 nF single ended or 35 nF differentialcapacitance and 15 ohms resistance.

The maximum short circuitcurrent is approximately 100mA with a maximum poweroutput of 1 watt.

A frequency range of 2 to 30 kHz can be monitored at a normal sampling rate ofeither 10 or 20 ms. Magnetic pickups typically have an output resistance of 200ohms and an inductance of 85 mH excluding cable characteristics. The transducer isa high impedance source, generating energy levels insufficient to cause a spark.

DiagnosticsThree LEDs at the top of the VSVO front panel status information. The normal RUNcondition is a flashing green, and FAIL is solid red. The third LED is normally offbut displays a steady orange if an alarm condition exists on the board

Servo diagnostics cover items such as out of range LVDT voltage, servo suicide,servo current open circuit, and short circuit. If any one of the signals goes unhealthya composite diagnostic alarm, L#DIAG_VSVO occurs. If the associated regulatorhas two sensors, the bad sensor is removed from the feedback calculation and thegood sensor is used. Details of the individual diagnostics are available from thetoolbox. The diagnostic signals can be individually latched, and reset with theRESET_DIA signal if they go healthy

Connectors Jr1, JS1, JT1 on the terminal board have their own ID device that isinterrogated by the I/O board. The ID device is a read-only chip coded with theterminal board serial number, board type, revision number, and the plug location.

DSVO–Simplex DIN-rail Mounted Servo Terminal BoardThe DSVO board is a compact servo terminal board, designed for DIN_railmounting. This board has two servo outputs, I/O for six LVDT position sensors, andtwo active pulse rate inputs for flow measurement (refer to the diagrams). Servo coilcurrents ranging from 10 to 120 mA can be jumper selected. DSVO connects to theVSVO processor board with a 37-pin cable, which are identical to those used on thelarger TSVO board. The terminal boards can be stacked vertically on the DIN-rail toconserve cabinet space. Two DSVO boards can be connected to the VSVO, ifrequired. Only the Simplex version of this board is available

The on-board functions and high frequency decoupling to ground are the same asthose on the TSVO. High density Euro-Block type terminal blocks are permanentlymounted to the board with six screws for the ground connection (SCOM). Each of

InstallationThere is no shield terminationstrip with this design.

The DSVO board slides into a plastic holder, which mounts on the DIN-rail. Theservo I/O are wired directly to the Euro-Block type terminal block as shown in thefollowing figures. This has 36 terminals (DSVOH1A) or 42 terminals (DSVOH1B,H2B); typically #18 AWG shielded twisted pair wiring is used. There are six screwsfor SCOM (ground) connection, which should be as short as distance as possible.

Functional DescriptionThe turbine control board, VTUR controls three primary overspeed trip solenoidsand automatic synchronizing. It also interfaces to four passive pulse rate devices, andmonitors shaft voltage and current. The speed signal cable to VTUR uses the J5 plugon the front of the board, and the other signals use the J3 connector on the VMErack. Terminal board TTUR provides simplex signals through the JR connector, andfans out TMR signals to the JR, JS, and JT connectors. J4 on the VME rack connectsto the TRPG terminal board described in the Primary Trip section.

A two-slot version of this board (VTURH2) is available for driving six trip solenoidsusing two TRPG boards. VTURH2 only accepts eight flame detectors.

TTUR Terminal Board

All three relays have twonormally open contacts inseries with the breaker closecoil.

In TMR applications all inputs fan to the three control racks. Control signals cominginto TTUR from R, S, and T are voted before they actuate permissive relays K25 andK25P. Relay K25A is controlled by the VPRO and TREG boards.

OperationPulse rate to digital circuitsare on the VTUR board.VTUR alarms high voltagesand tests the integrity andcontinuity of the circuitry.

In the simplex application, up to four pulse rate signals may be used to measureturbine speed. Generator and bus voltages are brought into VTUR for automaticsynchronizing in conjunction with the turbine controller and excitation system.TTUR has permissive generator synchronizing relays and controls the main breakerrelay coil 52G. Shaft voltage is picked up with brushes and monitored along with thecurrent to the machine case.

Turbine Control Inputs, Synchronizing, and Primary Trip Interface, Simplex

GEI-100560 VTUR Turbine Control Board • 7

FeaturesThe median speed signal isused for speed control and forthe primary overspeed tripsignal.

An interface is provided for four passive, magnetic speed inputs with a frequencyrange of 2 − 20,000 Hz. Using passive pickups on a 60-tooth wheel, circuitsensitivity allows detection of 2 rpm turning gear speed to determine if the turbine isstopped (zero speed). If automatic turning gear engagement is provided in theturbine control, this signal initiates turning gear operation.

The primary overspeed trip calculations are performed in the controller usingalgorithms similar to (but not the same as) those shown in the section on the VPROProtection Module. The fast trip option used on gas turbines runs in VTUR and isdescribed below.

A metal oxide varister (MOV)and a current limiting resistorare used in each circuit.

The normal primary overspeed trip is calculated in the controller and passed to theVTUR and then to the TRPG terminal board. TRPG contains magnetic relays forinterface with the electrical trip devices (ETDs). TRPG works in conjunction withthe TREG board to form the Primary and Emergency sides of the interface to theETDs. Usually this applies to turbines which do not have a mechanical overspeedbolt and require a separate emergency overspeed (EOS) system. Three ETDs can bedriven from each TRPG/TREG combination with the positive side of each solenoidconnected to the TREG and the negative side connected to the TRPG.

Two different versions of the TRPG are available, with version 1 used for tripleredundant (TMR) systems and version 2 used for Simplex systems. The onlydifference is that the TMR version has three voting relays per ETD circuit and theSimplex version has one relay per circuit. The VTUR board monitors the currentflowing in its relay driver control line to determine its energize or de-energizevote/status of the relay coil. A normally closed contact from each relay on the TRPGboard is monitored by the diagnostics to determine its proper operation.

Bearings can be damaged by the flow of electrical current from the shaft to the case.This current can occur for several reasons.

• A static voltage can be caused by droplets of water being thrown off the laststage buckets in a steam turbine. This voltage will build up until a dischargeoccurs through the bearing oil film.

• An ac ripple on the dc generator field can produce an ac voltage on the shaftwith respect to ground through the capacitance of the field winding andinsulation. Note that both of these sources are weak, so high impedanceinstrumentation is used to measure these voltages with respect to ground.

• A voltage may be generated between the ends of the generator shaft due to dis-symmetries in the generator magnetic circuits. If the insulated bearings on thegenerator shaft break down, the current will flow from one end of the shaftthrough the bearings and frame to the other end. Brushes can be used todischarge damaging voltage buildup, and a shunt should be used to monitor thecurrent flow.

The turbine control continuously monitors the shaft to ground voltage and current,and alarms excessive levels. There is an ac test mode and a dc test mode. The ac testapplies an ac voltage to test the integrity of the measuring circuit.

The dc test checks the continuity of the external circuit, including the brushes,turbine shaft, and the interconnecting wire.

Note The dc test is driven from the <R> controller only. If the <R> controller isdown, this test cannot be run successfully.

DiagnosticsDiagnostic information includes feedback from the solenoid relay driver and contact,high flame detector voltage, slow synch check relay, slow auto synch relay, andlocked up K25 relay. If any one of the signals goes unhealthy, a compositediagnostic alarm L3DIAG_VTUR occurs. The diagnostic signals can be individuallylatched and then reset with the RESET_DIA signal if they go healthy.

Terminal board connectors JR1, JS1, JT1, JR5, JS5, JT5 have their own ID devicewhich is interrogated by the I/O board. The ID device is a read-only chip coded withthe terminal board serial number, board type, revision number, and plug location.

Automatic SynchronizingAll synchronizing connections are located on the TTUR terminal board. Thegenerator and bus voltages are supplied by two, single phase, potential transformers(PTs) with a fused secondary output supplying a nominal 115 V rms. Measurementaccuracy between the zero crossing for the bus and generator voltage circuits is 1degree.

Turbine speed is matched against the bus frequency, and the generator and busvoltages are matched by adjusting the generator field excitation voltage fromcommands sent between the turbine controller and the EX2000 over the Unit DataHighway (UDH). A command is given to close the breaker when all permissives aresatisfied, and the breaker is predicted to close within the calculated phase/slipwindow. Feedback of the actual breaker closing time is provided by a 52G/a contactfrom the generator breaker (not an auxiliary relay) to update the data base. Aninternal K25A synch check relay is provided on the TTUR; the independent backupphase/slip calculation for this relay is performed in the <P> Protection Module.Diagnostics monitor the relay coil and contact closures to determine if the relayproperly energizes or de-energizes upon command.

Synchronizing ModesThere are three basic synchronizing modes. Traditionally, these modes are selectedfrom a generator panel mounted selector switch:

• Off The breaker will not be closed by the Mark VI control. The check relay willnot pickup.

• Manual The operator initiates breaker close, which is still subject to the K25ASynch Check contacts driven by VPRO. The manual close is initiated from anexternal contact on the generator panel, normally connected in series with aSynch Mode in Manual contact.

• Auto The system will automatically match voltage and speed, and then closethe breaker at the right time to hit top dead center on the synchroscope. All threeof the following functions must agree for this closure to occur:

K25A synch check relay, checks the allowable slip/phase window, fromVPRO.

K25 auto synch relay, provides precision synchronization, fromVTUR.

K25P synch sequence permissive, checks the turbine sequence status, fromVTUR.

Details of the various checks are discussed in the following sections.

Page 178: Geh-6421 Vol i Mkvi Vol2

10 • VTUR Turbine Control Board GEI-100560

Synch CheckThe K25A synch check function is based on phase lock loop techniques. Thecalculations for this function are done in the VPRO, but interfaces to the Breakerclose circuit on the TTUR board. It performs limit checks against adjustableconstants as follows:

• Generator undervoltage

• Bus undervoltage

• Voltage error

• Frequency error (slip), with a maximum value of 0.33 Hz, typically set to0.27 Hz

• Phase error with a maximum value of 30 degrees, typically set to 10 degrees

In addition, synch check arms logic to enable the function and provides bypass logicfor deadbus closure. The synch window is based on typical settings:

SLIP

PHASEDegrees+10-10

+0.27 Hz

-0.27 HzTypical Synch Window

Auto SynchThe Auto Synch K25 function uses zero voltage crossing techniques. It compensatesfor the breaker time delay, which is defined by two adjustable constants with logicselection between the two (for two breaker applications). The calculations, which aredone on the VTUR board, include phase, slip, acceleration, and anticipated time leadfor the breaker delay. Based on the measured breaker close time, the time delayparameter is adjusted, up to certain limits.

In addition, auto synch arms logic to enable the function and bypasses logic toprovide for deadbus or manual closure. The auto synch projected synch window iswhere positive slip indicates the generator frequency is higher than the busfrequency.

The projected window is based on current phase, current slip, and currentacceleration. The generator must currently be lagging and have been lagging for thelast 10 consecutive cycles, and projected (anticipated) to be leading when the breakeractually reaches closure. Auto synch will not allow the breaker to close with negativeslip; speed matching typically aims at around +0.12 Hz slip.

18 • VTUR Turbine Control Board GEI-100560

FeaturesVTUR controls the main breaker through TTUR and three trip solenoids throughTRPG. With a second TRPG, six trip solenoids can be controlled. In addition, VTURhandles shaft speed, generator voltage, and bus voltage inputs from TTUR, plus upto eight flame detector inputs from one TRPG board.

Control Of Trip Solenoids

In Simplex systems, TRPGH2is used. This board has onerelay per ETD circuit insteadof three and is controlled byonly one VTUR board.

Both TRPG and TREG control the trip solenoids so that either one can removepower and close the steam or fuel valves. TRPG holds nine relays in three votinggroups of three, one group for each trip solenoid. Voltage for the relay coils issupplied from the R, S, and T rack backplane. The trip solenoids are supplied withpower through plug J1. A metal oxide varistor (MOV) for current suppression is onTREG, and an optional economizing current limiting resistor can be wired to theTREG terminals.

Flame DetectorsUp to eight flame detectors can be used for gas turbine applications. The detectorsare supplied with 335 V dc, 0.5 mA through plugs J3, J4, and J5.

Voltage pulses above 2.5 voltsgenerate a logic high, and thepulse rate over a 40 ms timeperiod is measured in acounter.

With no flame present, the detector charges up to the supply voltage, but presence ofthe flame causes the detector to charge to a level and then discharge through theTRPG board. As the flame intensity increases the discharge frequency increases.When the detector discharges, VTUR and TRPG convert the discharged energy intoa voltage pulse. The pulse rate varies from 0 to 1,000 pulses/sec. These voltagepulses are fanned out to all three modules.TRPG Specification

20 • VTUR Turbine Control Board GEI-100560

DTRT Trip Transition BoardOnly the simplex version ofthis board is available.

The DTRT board is a DIN-rail mounted trip transition board that interfaces theVTUR board with the DRLY board. DTRT allows up to six trip functions on theVTUR to interface with DRLY, instead of the normal TRPG board. Two VTURboards can be connected to the DTRT to control a total of six relays on DRLY.DTRT transfers board identification from the ID chip on DRLY to VTUR fordiagnostic purposes. DTRT has its own ID chip connnected to J2.

DTRT must be used in all applications where trips from VTUR to DRLY arerequired. DTRT cannot be eliminated if the application requires only one VTUR.Three 37-pin D connectors for the three cables are provided. A high density Euro-Block type terminal block is permanently mounted to the board with three screwconnections for the ground connection (SCOM).

The DTRT board slides into a plastic holder, which mounts on the DIN-rail. Thethree cables connecting VTUR and DRLY plug into the 37-pin D type connector.The first three DRLY circuits are driven by the VTUR connected to J1, and thesecond three DRLY circuits are driven by the VTUR connected to J2. Three screwsare provided on terminal block TB1 for the SCOM (ground) connection, whichshould be as short a distance as possible.

DTRT must be used in all applications where trips from VTUR to DRLYs arerequired. DTRT is still required if the application only requires one VTUR.

DTUR Pulse Rate Terminal BoardOnly the simplex version isavailable.

The DTUR board is a compact pulse-rate terminal board, designed for DIN-railmounting. The board accepts four passive pulse-rate transducers (magnetic pickups)for speed and flow measurement. It connects to the VTUR processor board with a37-pin cable and a 15-pin cable. These cables are identical to those used on thelarger TTUR terminal board. DTUR boards can be stacked vertically on the DIN-railto conserve cabinet space. VTUR only accommodates one DTUR board.

DTUR has onboard pulse rate signal conditioning identical to that on the TTUR.High density Euro-Block type terminal blocks are permanently mounted to the boardwith two screws for the ground connection (SCOM). Two on-board ID chips identifythe connectors and board to VTUR for system diagnostic purposes.

6 • VVIB Vibration/Position Board GEI-100561

OperationTVIB supports Proximitor, Seismic, Accelerometer, and Velomitor probes of thetype supplied by Bently Nevada. Power for the vibration probes comes from theVVIB boards, in either Simplex or TMR mode. The probe signals return to VVIBwhere they are A/D converted and sent over the VME bus to the controller.Vibration, eccentricity, and axial position alarms and trip logic are generated in thecontroller.

A –28 V dc source is supplied to the terminal board from the VME board forProximitor power. In TMR systems, a diode high-select circuit selects the highest–28 V dc bus for redundancy. Regulators provide individual excitation sources, –23to –26 V dc, short circuit protected. Probe inputs are sampled at high speed overdiscrete time periods. The maximum and minimum values are accumulated, thedifference is taken (max-min) for vibration, and the results are filtered. The resultingpeak to peak voltage is scaled to yield mils (peak to peak) displacement, or velocity.

Features

Vibration FunctionsVibration probe inputs are normally used for four protective functions in turbineapplications as follows:

Vibration: Proximity probes monitor the peak-to-peak radial displacement of theshaft (the shaft motion in the journal bearing) in two radial directions. This systemuses non-contacting probes and proximitors, and results in alarm, trip, and faultdetection.

Rotor Axial Position: A probe is mounted in a bracket assembly off the thrustbearing casing to observe the motion of the thrust collar on the turbine rotor. Thissystem uses non-contacting probes and Proximitors, and results in thrust bearingwear alarm, trip, and fault detection.

Differential Expansion: This application uses non-contacting probe(s) andproximitor(s) and results in alarm, trip, and fault detection for excessive expansiondifferential between the rotor and the turbine casing.

Rotor Eccentricity: A probe is mounted adjacent to the shaft to continuously sensethe surface and update the turbine control. The calculation of eccentricity is madeonce per revolution while the turbine is on turning gear. Alarm and fault indicationsare provided.

ProbesThe eight vibration inputs on each terminal board can be applied as eitherproximitor, accelerometer, seismic (velocity), or velomitor inputs. Jumpers on theterminal board are used to assign a specific vibration sensor type to each input pointwith the seismic type assigned to point (S), the velomitor type assigned to point (V),and the proximitor and accelerometer types sharing point (P/A). A proximitor reads ashaft keyway to generate a once per revolution keyPhasor input for phase anglereference.

A probe fault, alarm, or trip condition will occur if either of an X or Y probe pairexceeds its limits. In addition, the application software will inhibit a vibration trip(the ac component) if a probe fault is detected based on the dc component.

Position inputs for thrust wear protection, differential expansion, and eccentricity aremonitored similar to the vibration inputs except only the dc component is used for aposition indication. A 16-bit sampling type A/D converter is used with 14-bitresolution and overall circuit accuracy of 1% of full scale.

Vibration Monitoring and Analysis

Mark VI provides vibrationprotection and displays thebasic vibration parameters.

Each input is actively isolated and the signals made available through four plugs fordirect cabling to a Bently Nevada 3500 monitor. This configuration provides themaximum reliability by having a direct interface from the proximitors to the turbinecontrol for trip protection and still retain the real-time data access to the BentlyNevada system for static and dynamic vibration monitoring. Note that the Mark VIdisplays the total vibration, the 1X vibration component and the 1X vibration phaseangle, but it is not intended as a vibration analysis system.

Fourteen BNC connectors on TVIB provide buffered signals available to portabledata gathering equipment for predictive maintenance purposes. Buffered outputshave unity gain, 10 K ohm internal impedance, and can drive loads up to 1500 ohConfiguration.

DVIB Vibration Terminal BoardOnly the simplex version isavailable.

The DVIB board is a compact vibration terminal board, designed for DIN-railmounting. (Designed to meet UL 1604 specification for operation in a 65 °C class 1,division 2 environment.) The board accepts eight vibration, four position, and onekeyphasor input. It connects to the VVIB processor board with a 37-pin cable.These cables are identical to those used on the larger TVIB terminal board. VVIBaccommodates two DVIB boards.

High-frequency decoupling to ground on all signals is the same as on TVIB. Highdensity Euro-Block type terminal blocks are permanently mounted to the board withtwo screws for the ground connection (SCOM). An on-board ID chip identifies theboard to VVIB for system diagnostic purposes.

InstallationThere is no shield terminalstrip with this design.

The DVIB board slides into a plastic holder, which mounts on the DIN-rail. Thevibration probes are wired directly to the terminal block which has 42 terminals.Typically #18 AWG shielded twisted triplet wiring is used. There are two screws forthe SCOM (ground) connection, which should be as short a distance as possible.

TGEN Board Showing Potential and Current Transformer Inputs

VGEN monitors generator 3-phase power, and supplies the power load unbalance(PLU) and early valve actuation (EVA) functions for large steam turbines.

The generator and bus PT inputs are three-wire, open delta, voltage measurementsthat are used to calculate all three line-to-line voltages. They are not used forautomatic synchronizing which requires two separate single-phase PT inputs. EachPT input is nominally 115 V rms, and the PTs are magnetically isolated.

Page 216: Geh-6421 Vol i Mkvi Vol2

6 • VGEN Generator Board GEI-100562

Test points are provided forall PT and CT inputs to verifythe phase in the field.

Three single-phase CT inputs are provided with a normal current range of 0 to 5 Acontinous. The Cts are magnetically isolated on TGEN. Terminations for the CTs arenon-pluggable terminal blocks with captive lugs accepting are up to #10 AWGwires. The following parameters are calculated from these inputs:• Total Mwatts• Total Mvars• Total MVA• Power factor• Bus frequency (5 to 66 Hz)

High frequency and 50/60 Hznoise is reduced with ananalog hardware filter.

The four analog inputs can accept 4-20 mA inputs or ± 5, ± 10 V dc inputs. A +24 Vdc source is available for all four circuits with individual current limits for eachcircuit. The 4-20 mA transducer can be connected to use the +24 V dc source fromthe turbine control or as a self-powered source. A jumper is located on the terminalboard to select between current and voltage inputs for each circuit.

OperationAnalog signals from the terminal board are cabled to the VPYR processor boardwhere signal sampling and conversion take place. VPYR calculates the temperatureprofiles and runs turbine protection algorithms using both pyrometer signals. If a tripis indicated and the signals are validated, VPYR issues the trip signal.

Optical Pyrometer MeasurementsTwo infrared pyrometers dynamically measure the temperature profile of the rotatingturbine blades. Each pyrometer is powered by a +24 V dc and a –24 V dc source onthe terminal board, diode selected from voltages supplied by the three VPYR boards.Four 4−20 mA signals are returned from each pyrometer, representing the followingblade measurements:

• The average temperature

• The maximum peak temperature

• The average peak temperature

• A fast dynamic profile, with 30 kHz bandpass, providing the full signature.

Each 4−20 mA input generates a voltage across a resistor which is sent to the VPYRboard where it is multiplexed and converted. A dedicated A/D converter is used tosample the fast input (#4) at up to 200,000 samples per second. VPYR can beconfigured for different numbers of turbine buckets, with up to 30 temperaturesamples per bucket.

KeyPhasor InputsTwo keyPhasors are used for shaft position reference, one as a backup. ThesekeyPhasor probes and associated circuitry are identical to those used withTVIB/VVIB. They sense a shaft keyway or pedestal to provide a time stamp.

Turbine Protection AlgorithmFast burst data is used for the protection algorithms. One peak temperature perbucket is isolated and the highest for that revolution is selected. The deltatemperature compared to the previous revolution is calculated (the rate of change)and compared to a calculated value which uses configurable parameters. Three ofthese are computed using different parameters. Similarly a distance variable iscomputed by taking the difference between the revolution peak and a peak taken ysamples ago, where y is configurable. This delta is also compared to a configurablevalue. Finally the three rate signals and one distance signal are logically combinedwith permissives and the other channel trip condition to produce the trip signal.

Measurement parameters Rated RPM up to 5,100 RPMNumber of buckets per stage, up to 92Number of samples per bucket, up to 30Fast inputs sampled in bursts covering three revolutions, at twice per second.

DiagnosticsVPYR provides system limit checking on the keyPhasor gap signals. The twopyrometer inputs are compared against configuration limits to determine if they aretracking, and the fast data is compared with other inputs to check validity.

Connectors JR1, JS1, and JT1, on the terminal board have their own ID device,which is interrogated by the I/O board. The ID device is a read-only chip coded withthe terminal board serial number, board type, revision number, and the plug location.

Functional DescriptionThe rack mounted IS200VAMA VME Acoustic Monitoring Board (VAMA)supports the DIN-rail mounted IS200DDPT Dynamic Pressure Transducer TerminalBoard (DDPT). The VAMA/DDPT configuration monitors acoustic or pressurewaves in the turbine combustion chamber. The DDPT terminal board supports thesimplex mode only and uses the J3 rack connector as the interface to the VAMA.

The VAMA/DDPT meets environment rating for hazardous gases of Class I,Division 2 and provides suppression at all points of signal entry or exit. Each cablehas a unique ID chip. The VAMA/DDPT provides two point calibration, based onreading a reference offset and gain signal.

Gas turbine combustion chambers can experience pressure oscillations that causenoise in the audible hearing range. The H1A version of the VAMA/DDPT offerssignal conditioning and software that allows the turbine control to monitor thepressure/acoustic waves by reading the conditioned signals from a dynamic pressuretransducer. The VAMA/DDPT provides two channels to read the pressure/acousticwave signals from third party equipment from Vibro-meter or Bently-Nevada. TheVAMA provides two dedicated signal conditioning paths to remove the dccomponent of the signal, modify the gain and provide an eighth order or better low-pass filter for anti-aliasing.

Pressure/Acoustic Wave Signal ConditioningThe Vibro-meter GSI 1_ _unit is used to avoid anyproblems due to voltagedifferences between themeasuring point and thesignal processing (such asground loops).

The VAMA/DDPT provides signal conditioning for two pressure/acoustic waveinputs and an option to supply either positive 24 V dc or negative 24 V dc to powerthe pressure sensing equipment. The third party vendor equipment supported are theVibro-meter Galvanic Separation Unit Types GSI 1_ _, the Bently-Nevada 86517with modifications 142533 or 159840 charge amplifier, or the Bently-Nevadadynamic pressure charge amplifier 350500.

The Vibro-Meter setup conditions a pico-coulomb output from a dynamic pressuretransducer (Vibro-meter CP216 or CP231) through a charge amplifier (Vibro-meterIPC 704) with a current output representing approximately 125 micro-amps/psi.

Page 237: Geh-6421 Vol i Mkvi Vol2

GEI-100564 VAMA Acoustic Monitoring Board • 3

The GSI unit provides an output that is comprised of an ac signal (approx. ± 2 Vpeak) that represents the dynamic pressure (gain expressed in milli-volts/psi ) ridingon top of a dc bias voltage of approximately +7 V dc. The Vibro-meter GSI unitrequires a +24 V dc power supply. Normally, the power supply return for the GSIwill be grounded externally and the PCOM on the terminal board is not used. Onlyuse PCOM when the external return ground is not used.

The Bently-Nevada 86517 interface module converts the dynamic pressuretransducer charge signal from pico-coulombs to milli-volts which represents thepressure in psi. The interface module output is comprised of an ac signal (approx. ±1.2 V peak) riding on top of a negative dc bias voltage of approximately –10 V dc.The Bently-Nevada unit requires a −24 V dc power supply.

VAMA/DDPT Vendor Equipment Power Supply Specifications

Vendor Power Supply Nominal Voltage Nominal Current

Vibro-Meter Positive 24 V dc +24 V dc (±5%) 0.04 A (±0.02 A)

Bently-Nevada Negative 24 V dc −24 V dc (±5%) 0.02 A (±0.01 A)

The pressure/acoustic signal is read differentially by connecting to the DDPT inputs,Pressure Wave Channel A High (ASIG) and Pressure Wave Channel A Low(ARET). Voltage clamping and high frequency suppression is applied on the DDPTbefore the signal is routed to the VAMA through the 37-pin cable to the J3 connectoron the VME rack.

The jumpers, JP1A/B and JP2A/B are used to add a bias corresponding to the dc biasprovided by the third party interface unit to detect open circuit conditions.

Therefore, a +28 V dc positive bias is added for the Vibro-Meter connection and a−28 V dc negative bias is added for the Bently-Nevada system. The DDPT boardpressure wave outputs are ASIG/ARET for the output pair for channel A andBSIG/BRET for the output pair for channel B.

Signal Conditioning for Fast Fourier Transform(FFT) Input

The FFT signal conditioningprovides open-wire detectioncircuitry and any dc biasmonitoring circuitry, ifneeded. The output fromchannel A and channel Bfeeds into a high-speedmultiplexed A/D section.

The VAMA provides differential inputs for both channel A and B pressure wavesignals. The signal conditioning is comprised of a high pass filter, gain adjustment,and a low pass filter with adjustable break frequencies. The high-pass filter is asingle pole filter (6 dB/octave) with a break at 5 Hz. The gain block provides twogain options, 2.25 or 4.5 V/V. The low pass filter is an eight-pole (48 dB/octave)Butterworth filter with three selectable break frequencies, 600, 1000, and 3600 Hz.The gain options and the low-pass filter break frequency adjustments are selectablethrough software.

Signal Conditioning for the RMS CircuitThe VAMA provides an RMS rectifier circuit for both channel A and channel Bpressure waves. Each circuit is comprised of a high pass filter, a low pass filter andthe RMS detector. The band-pass filters are 260 to 970 Hz , before the detector andthe RMS detector. The input signal range is from 0 to 10 psi peak-to-peak, which isrepresented by an ac signal with the scaling of 0.1 volts per psi. The rms detectoroutput from channel A and channel B feeds into a multiplexed A/D section.

Page 238: Geh-6421 Vol i Mkvi Vol2

4 • VAMA Acoustic Monitoring Board GEI-100564

BNC Signal ConditioningThe VAMA provides a buffered signal conditioning circuit for each BNC output onthe DDPT terminal board. The BNC buffered circuit takes its input from the acpressure wave input without the dc bias signal. The gain of the buffer is 1. The signalrange for buffered BNC output is from 0 to 40 psi peak-to-peak, which is representedby an ac signal with the scaling of 0.1 volts per psi.

6 • VAMA Acoustic Monitoring Board GEI-100564

Pressure/Acoustic Wave FFT AlgorithmsA spectral analysis of the pressure wave is performed by the firmware to determinethe spectral components with the largest magnitude and the frequency associatedwith each magnitude. The local sort function sorts the three largest magnitudes per agiven frequency band. The FFT algorithm supports three frequency bands.

The magnitude and frequencyinformation for each spectralcomponent that meets thecriteria of the sorts is storedin Signal Space for the VAMAmemory space.

Discontinuities at the beginning and end of the 8192 collected data points of thepressure wave produce high frequency components that alias down into the spectrumof interest. Using a Windowing function on the data attenuates the high frequencycomponents. The user may select from seven different windowing functions thataffect spectral content of these high frequency components. A Fast FourierTransform (FFT) is performed on the windowed data to determine the spectralcomponent’s magnitude and frequency associated with it. A Global Sort function isprovided to rank all the spectral components from the largest in magnitude to thesmallest. Then a Local Sort function is performed that selects the three largestmagnitudes and their associated frequencies for a given frequency band that isdefined by the user.

The composite pressure wave signal that is comprised of both the ac and dc offsetcomponent of the signal is read by the slow A/D on the VAMA. This signal ismonitored by the firmware to perform continuity and out of range checks. Thenormal operating range for the pressure wave will be ±1 psi with the trip level set at2 psi. Significant attenuation of FFT magnitude results when spectral content is offthe bin center. Attenuation factor (approx. 0.6 to 0.9) is determined by theWindowing technique used.

Functions

Windowing FunctionThe Windowing function provides a way to reduce the false spectral componentscaused by the beginning and ending points of the 8192 data points collected. Thediscontinuities caused by the end point data produces high frequency componentsthat alias down into the frequency spectrum of interest. Seven windowing techniquesare provided. Each windowing function affects the magnitude and spectral leakage.The windowing techniques supported are:• Rectangular• Hamming• Hanning• Triangular• Blackman• Blackman-Harris• Flat Top

The configuration constant, WindowSelect is the window select control for bothchannel A and channel B pressure waves. The configuration constant, BinRejectdetermines the number of side bins rejected from a spectral peak found in the FFTanalysis. BinReject controls the number of side bins removed from the FFT analysisfor both channel A and B. A Fast Fourier Transform is performed on the windoweddata to determine the spectral content of the pressure wave. The power is calculatedfor each FFT element and the magnitude and frequency is calculated from the power.The windowing type and the associated sideband rejection are shown in thefollowing table.

Sort FunctionThe Sort function tests for the three largest FFT element magnitudes in a userspecified frequency band. The user can specify up to three frequency bands withthree magnitudes and associated frequency for each stored. The magnitudes andfrequencies for each band are stored in signal space.

The following table defines the user defined configuration constants FminFrqbandxand FmaxFrqbandx that are supported by the Sort function. The firmware providesseparate scaling for channel A and B and defines the transfer function from twogiven points.

Functional DescriptionThe Serial Communications Board (VSCA) provides I/O interfaces with externaldevices, using RS-232C, RS422, and RS485 serial communications. Currently theIS200VSCAH2A version is available. The associated DIN-rail mounted SerialCommunications Terminal Board (DSCB) is wired to the external devices, whichinclude intelligent pressure sensors such as the smart Honeywell PressureTransducers.

Connectivity between VSCA and the DSCB terminal board(s) is through the J6 andJ7 front panel connectors. These are parallel connected, each using a 37-pin D shellconnector, with group shielded twisted pair wiring. Connectivity between theterminal board and the external device is through the Euro-Block (Phoenix type),using screw terminations and twisted shielded pair AWG#18 wiring.

The DSCB terminal board includes two screws for SCOM (ground) that must beconnected to a good shield ground. DSCB can interface external devices up todistances of 1000 ft for RS422 and RS485, at baud rates up to 375 kbps. For RS-232C, the distance is only 50 ft or 2500 pF of cable capacitance (including the cablefrom VSCA to the DSCB). It supports short haul modems for longer distances.

OperationVSCA/DSCB is a dataterminal device (DTE).

The VSCA is a single slot board, providing six serial communication ports. Eachport is independently configurable to an RS-232C, RS485, or RS422 interface, usinga three-position group jumper (berg array). Both RS-232C and RS422 support fullduplex. The line drivers are located on the VSCA board, and include appropriatetermination resistors, with configurable jumpers to accommodate multidrop linenetworks. Outputs for RS422 and RS485 have tri-state capability. Inputs/outputs goto high impedance condition when powered down. They do not cause significantdisturbance when powered down/up (less than 10 ms) on a party line. The open wirecondition on a receiver is biased to a high state.

• RS-232C supports: RXD, TXD, DTR/RTS, GND, CTS (five wire)

• RS422 supports: TX+, TX−, RX+, RX−, GND

• RS485 supports: TX/RX+, TX/RX−, GND

VSCA JumpersJumpers JP1 through JP6 are block jumpers, used to select the port electricalcharacteristic, RS232C, RS422, or RS485. Each jumper has three positions marked232, 422, and 485.

Jumpers JP7 through JP12 are block jumpers, used to select the correct terminationconfiguration for all the transmission lines (Tx). Each jumper has three positionsmarked TRM, THR, and PRK where:

• TRM means with terminating resistor.

• THR means no terminating resistor, pass through to J7.

• PRK means no terminating resistor, or park position

Jumpers JP13 through JP18 are block jumpers, and are used to select the correcttermination configuration for all the receive lines (Rx). Each jumper has threepositions marked TRM, THR, and PRK, where the meanings are the same as above.

A two-position jumper, JPU1, selects between Honeywell pressure transducer andModbus operation for ports 1 and 2. The default position for JPU1 is X2 and enablesthe serial clock for operation with Honeywell transducers. Position X1 selects theclock needed for Modbus operation. JPU1 is located at the bottom of the boardtowards the backplane connector (away from the other jumpers).VSCA Board Jumper Positions

Features

Data Flow from VSCA to ControllerData flow from VSCA to the controller UCV_ is of two types, fixed I/O and ModbusI/O. Fixed I/O is associated with the smart pressure transducers and the Kollmorgenelectric drive data. This data is completely processsed every frame, the same asconventional I/O. The required frame rate is 100 Hz. These signals are mapped intosignal space, using the .tre file, and have individual health bits, use system limitchecking, and have offset/gain scaling.

Page 254: Geh-6421 Vol i Mkvi Vol2

4 • VSCA Serial Communications Board GEI-100565

Two consecutive time outs arerequired before a signal isdeclared unhealthy.Diagnostic messages are usedto annunciate allcommunication problems.

Modbus I/O is the I/O associated with the Modbus ports. Because of the quantity ofthese signals, they are not completely processed every frame; instead they arepacketized, and transferred to the UCV_ processor, over the IONet through a specialservice. This can accommodate up to 2400 bytes, at 4 Hz, or 9600 bytes at 1 Hz, orcombinations thereof. This I/O is known as second class I/O, where coherency is atthe signal level only, not at the device or board level. Health bits are assigned at thedevice level, the UCV_ expands (fully populate) for all signals, and system limitchecking is not performed.

Ports 1 and 2 only (as an option) support the Honeywell pressure configuration. Itreads inputs from the Honeywell Smart Pressure Transducers, type LG-1237; thisservice is available on ports 1 and 2 only, as an option (pressure transducers orModBus). The pressure transducer protocol utilizes interface boardDS200XDSAG#AC, and RS422. Each port can service up to six transducers. Theservice is 375 kbaud, asynchronous, nine data bits, (11 bits including start and stop).It includes failsafe features as follows:

• Communication miss counters, one per device, and associated diagnostics

• After four consecutive misses it forces the input pressure to 1.0 psia, and posts adiagnostic. After four consecutive hits (good values) it removes the forcing andthe diagnostic.

Three ports (any three, but no more than three) support the Kollmorgen electricdrive. It communicates with a Kollmorgen Electric Fast Drive FD170/8R2-004 at a19200 baud rate, point-to-point, using RS422.

Modbus service. The current Modbus design supports the Master mode, howeverthe design does not preclude the future enhancement of Modbus slave mode ofoperation. It is configurable at the port level as follows:

• Used , not used

• Baud Rate RS232C: 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600

• RS485/422: 19200, 38400, 57600, 115000

• Parity: none, odd, even

• Data Bits: seven, eight

• Stop Bits: one, two

• Station addresses

• Multidrop, up to eight devices per port; maximum of 18 devices per board

• RTU

• Time out (seconds) per device

• The Modbus service is configurable at the signal level as follows:

• Signal type

• Register number

• Read/write

• Transfer rate, 0.5, 1, 2, or 4 Hz

• Scaling, offset, and gain

Page 255: Geh-6421 Vol i Mkvi Vol2

GEI-100565 VSCA Serial Communications Board • 5

The service supports function codes 1−7, 15, and 16; it also supports double 16-bitregisters for floating point numbers and 32-bit counters. It periodically (20 s)attempts to reestablish communications with a dead station.

Type casting and scaling of all I/O signals to/from engineering units are supportedon the VSCA and the toolbox, for both fixed I/O and Modbus I/O.

DSCB Terminal BoardThe DSCB board is held in a plastic frame and mounts on a DIN-rail. Six intelligenttransducers are wired to DSCB using shielded twisted pair. There are six jumpers onthe board for the six channels. The wiring connections to the Euro-Block typeterminal block are shown in the following figure. There are four terminals for theSCOM (ground) connection, which should be as short as possible.

Note Jumpers J1 – J6 direct SIGRET either directly to SCOM or through acapacitor to SCOM. The shield must be grounded at one end or the other, but notboth. If the shield is grounded at the device end, the jumpers should be set to includethe capacitor in the circuit. If the shield is not grounded at the device end, thejumpers should be set to go directly to SCOM.

TREG Board, Trip Interlocks, and Trip Solenoids

Page 266: Geh-6421 Vol i Mkvi Vol2

6 • VPRO Turbine Protection Module GEI-100566

OperationTREG is entirely controlled by VPRO, and the only connections to the controlmodules are the J2 power cable and the trip solenoids. In Simplex systems a thirdcable carries a trip signal from J1 to the TSVO terminal board, providing a servovalve clamp function upon turbine trip.

Control of Trip SolenoidsThe solenoid circuit has ametal oxide varistor (MOV)for current suppression and a10 ohm, 70 watt economizingresistor.

Both TRPG and TREG control the trip solenoids so that either one can removepower and actuate the hydraulics to close the steam or fuel valves. The nine triprelay coils on TREG are supplied with 28 V dc from VPRO boards in X, Y, and Z.The trip solenoids are supplied with 125 V dc via plug J2, and draw up to 1 ampwith a 0.1 second L/R time constant.

A separately fused 125 V dc feeder is provided from the turbine control for thesolenoids which energize in the run mode and de-energize in the trip mode.Diagnostics monitor each 125 V dc feeder from the power distribution module at itspoint of entry on the terminal board to verify the fuse integrity and the cableconnection.

. A normally closed contactfrom each relay is used tosense the relay status fordiagnostics

Two series contacts from each emergency trip relay (ETR1, 2, 3) are connected tothe positive 125 V dc feeder for each solenoid, and two series contacts from eachprimary trip relay (PTR1,2,3 in TRPG) are connected to the negative 125 V dcfeeder for each solenoid. An economizing relay (KE1, 2, 3) is supplied for eachsolenoid with a normally closed contact in parallel with the current limiting resistor.These relays are used to reduce the current load after the solenoids are energized.The ETR and KE relay coils are powered from a 28 V dc source from the VPROboards. Each VPRO board in each of the X, Y, and Z sections supplies anindependent 28 V dc source.

The 28 V dc bus is current limited and used for power to an external manualemergency trip contact, shown as E-STOP. Three master trip relays (K4X, K4Y,K4Z) disconnect the 28 V dc bus from the ETR, and KE relay coils if a manualemergency trip occurs. Any trip which originates in either the protection module(such as EOS) or the TREG (such as a manual trip) will cause each of the threeprotection module sections to transmit a trip command over the IONet to the controlmodule, and may be used to identify the source of the trip.

In addition, the K4CL servo clamp relay will energize and send a contact feedbackdirectly from the TREG terminal board to the TSVO servo terminal board. TSVOdisconnects the servo current source from the terminal block and applies a bias todrive the control valve closed. This is only used on Simplex applications to protectagainst the servo amplifier failing high. Note that the primary and emergencyoverspeed systems will trip the hydraulic trip solenoids independent of this circuit.

GEI-100566 VPRO Turbine Protection Module • 7

Solenoid Trip TestsApplication software in the control module is used to initiate tests of the tripsolenoids. Online tests allow each of the trip solenoids to be manually tripped one ata time either through the PTR relays from the control module(s) or through the ETRrelays from the protection module. A contact from each solenoid circuit is wiredback as a contact input to give a positive indication that the solenoid has tripped.Primary and emergency offline overspeed tests are provided too for verification ofactual trips due to software simulated trip overspeed conditions.

TRPL/TREL Large Steam Turbine Primary andEmergency Trip

TRPL and TREL are used to provide primary and emergency overspeed protectionfor large steam turbines. These two terminal boards are used in a similar way asTRPG and TREG are used on gas turbine applications.

Up to three trip solenoids can be connected between the TREL and TRPL terminalboards. TREL provides the positive side of the 125 V dc to the solenoids and TRPLprovides the negative side. VTUR provides primary overspeed protection and theemergency stop functions. It controls the 12 relays on TRPL, nine of which formthree groups of three to vote inputs controlling the three trip solenoids.

FeaturesTRPL is used for TMR applications only. Three separate power buses, PwrA, PwrB,PwrC for solenoid power, are brought in through connectors JP1, JP2, and JP3, andthen distributed to TREL through connector J2. In the TREL, three separate powerbuses, PwrA, PwrB, PwrC for solenoid power, are brought in through connector J2from TRPL.

The power buses have a nominal voltage of 125 V dc (70 to 145 V dc) or 24 V dc(18 to 32 V dc). The board includes power bus monitoring (three buses). Themaximum current per bus is 3 amps.

Each of the three trip solenoids is controlled by three relays using 2/3 contact voting.The relay output rating (for 100,000 operations) is as follows:

• At 24 V dc, 3 A, L/R = 100 milliseconds, with suppression

• At 125 V dc, 1.0 A, L/R = 100 milliseconds, with suppression

The TREL includes the synchcheck relay driver, K25A, andassociated monitoring, thesame as on TREG, and theservo clamp relay driver,K4CL, and its associatedmonitoring.

The trip circuits include solenoid suppression, and associated solenoid voltagemonitoring and trip relay contact monitoring. In the TRPL, the hardwired trip (E-STOP) and associated monitoring provides approximately 6.6 V dc to VTUR whenthe K4 relays are picked up.. In the TREL, seven dry contact inputs are used as tripinterlocks, and the excitation and signal are monitored and fanned to the threeVPROs.

ConfigurationTRPL configuration is similar to TRPG but there are no flame detectors. Only thesingle-wide VTUR is used with a single J4 connector.

TREL configuration is similar to TREG but there are no emergency stop inputs(KESTOP), and no economizer relay solenoid feedbacks (KE#_Fdbk). Only oneTREL can be connected to the VPRO.

GEI-100566 VPRO Turbine Protection Module • 25

OperationThe main purpose of the <P> protection module is emergency overspeed (EOS)protection for the turbine. In addition, the module has backup synchronization checkprotection, three analog current inputs, and nine thermocouple inputs, primarilyintended for exhaust overtemperature protection on gas turbines.

The VPRO board has a VMEinterface to allowprogramming and testing in aVME rack; however, thebackplane is neutralized whenplugged into the protectionmodule to eliminate anycontinuity between the threeindependent sections.

The protection module is always triple redundant with three completely separate andindependent sections named X, Y, and Z. Any one of these sections can be powereddown and replaced while the turbine is running without jeopardizing the protectionsystem. Each section contains its own I/O interface, processor, power supply, andEthernet communications (IONet) to the control modules. The communicationsallow initiation of test commands from the control module to the protection moduleand the monitoring of EOS system diagnostics in the control module and on theoperator interface. Communications are resident on the VPRO board which is theheart of the system.

Features

Speed Control and Overspeed ProtectionSpeed control and overspeed protection is implemented with six passive, magneticspeed pickups. The first three are monitored by the control module(s) which use themedian signal for speed control and the primary overspeed protection. The secondthree are separately connected to the X, Y, and Z sections of the protection module.Provision is made for nine passive magnetic speed pickups or active pulse ratetransducers (TTL type) on the TPRO terminal board with three being monitored byeach of the X, Y, and Z sections. Separate overspeed trip settings are programmedinto the application software for the primary and emergency overspeed trip limits,and a second emergency overspeed trip limit must be programmed into the I/Oconfigurator to confirm the EOS trip point.

The speed is calculated by counting passing teeth on the wheel and measuring thetime involved. Another protection feature is the calculation of the rate of change ofspeed which is compared with 100%/sec and transmitted to the control module to tripthe unit if it is detected after the turbine reaches a predetermined steady-state speed.This steady-state speed limit is a tuning constant located in the controller’sapplication software. Another speed threshold which is monitored by the EOSsystem is 10% speed. This is transmitted to the control module to verify that there isno gross disagreement between the first set of three speed pickups being monitoredby the controller (for speed control and the primary overspeed protection) and thesecond set of three speed pickups being monitored by the EOS system.

Interface To Trip SolenoidsThe trip system combines the primary trip interface from the control module(s) withthe EOS trip interface from the protection module. Three separate, triple redundanttrip solenoids (also called electrical trip devices - ETDs) are used to interface withthe hydraulics. The ETDs are connected between the TRPG and TREG terminalboards. A separately fused 125 V dc feeder is provided from the turbine control foreach solenoid which energize in the run mode and de-energize in the trip mode.

Page 286: Geh-6421 Vol i Mkvi Vol2

26 • VPRO Turbine Protection Module GEI-100566

Backup Synch Check ProtectionBackup synch check protection is provided in the <P> protection module. Thegenerator and bus voltages are supplied from two, single phase, potentialtransformers (PTs) secondary output supplying a nominal 115 V rms. The maximumcable length between the PTs and the turbine control is 100 meters of 18 AWGtwisted, shielded wire. Each PT is magnetically isolated with a 1,500 V rms ratedbarrier and a circuit load less than 3 VA. The synch algorithms are based on phaselock loop techniques. Phase error between the generator and bus voltages is less than+/-1 degree at nominal voltage and 50/60 Hz. A frequency range of 45 to 66 Hz issupported with the measured frequency within 0.05% of the input frequency. Thealgorithm is illustrated under TTUR, generator synchronizing.

Each PT input is internally connected in parallel to the X, Y, and Z sections of theProtection Module. The triple redundant phase slip windows result in a voted logicaloutput on the TREG terminal board which drives the K25A relay. This relay’scontacts are connected in series with the synch permissive relay (K25P) and the autosynch relay (K25) to insure that no false command is issued to close the generatorbreaker. Similarly, contacts from the K25A contact are connected in series with thecontacts from remote, manual synchronizing equipment to insure no falsecommands.

Thermocouple and Analog InputsThermocouple and analog inputs are available in the protection module, primarily forgas turbine applications. Nine thermocouple inputs are monitored with threeconnected to each section of the protection module. These are generally used forbackup exhaust overtemperature protection. Also, one ± 5, 10 V dc, 4−20 mA(selectable) input, and two 4−20 mA inputs can be connected to the TPRO terminalboard which feeds the inputs in parallel to the three sections of the protectionmodule.

Power SupplyEach VPRO board has its own on-board power supply. This generates 5 V dc and 28V dc using 125 V dc supplied from the cabinet PDM. The entire TMR VPROmodule therefore has three power supplies for high reliability.

*Newer design power supplies

With the exception of the number of remote 28 V outputs, the RKPSG2 andLVPSG2 are designed to be direct replacements for the RKPSG1 and LVPSG1respectively. These two supplies have been replaced with the newer designs (markedwith asterisk in the table above).

OperationNewer supply designs alsohave a status output thatmimics the status of the greenLED and an ID output thatuniquely identifies the supplyback to the system.

The VME Rack power supply has only one user control, the power switch, and threestatus LED indicators. The power switch provides front control of the power supplyoutput voltages and when toggled serves as a fault reset. The yellow, red and greenLEDs indicate the status of the input power, fault presence and normal operation.

Power Switch:

The front panel power switch is a locking type that must be pulled out to changeposition. This switch is a low voltage control to enable or disable the outputvoltages. If the red LED is ON indicating a fault condition the power switch can betoggled OFF and then back ON again to clear the fault. The fault will only be clearedif the condition the caused it no longer exists.

Yellow LED:

When the power switch is OFF the yellow LED will indicate the status of the inputpower. If this LED is ON there is power present on the supply input connector. Forthe newer design, the yellow LED will only turn ON if the input voltage is above theinput under voltage fault threshold.

Red LED

This LED will only be ON if there is input power, the power switch is ON and a faulthas been detected.

Green LED/Status Output:

If there is input power, the power switch is ON, and there are no detectable faults,the Green LED will be ON. The newer designs also have a status output that mimicsthe status of this LED. The status output is a NO solid state relay contact that will beCLOSED when the green LED is ON.

6 • VME Power Supply GEI-100567

Fault ConditionsThere are three classes of faults:

• Those that transiently shutdown an output

• Those that require some reset action to clear

• Permanent failures that require the replacement of the supply.

This section describes the first two fault classes and assumes the cause of the fault isexternal. For a detailed fault diagnostics, refer to the section, Diagnostics andTroubleshooting .

When the external conditioncausing the current limitcondition is corrected, theoutput voltage will return tonormal.

If an overcurrent condition exists on an output, the voltage on that output will foldback as required to maintain the constant current limit output. For every outputother than the 5 V supply, this condition is not detectable at the supply and the greenLED will remain ON. Detection of a low output voltage due to excessive outputcurrent has to be detected at the system level through the power supply voltagemonitoring. The newer design also has an over temperature monitor of the outputmodules and a current limit detector on the optional 335V supply. These additionalfault detectors may cause the red LED to come on when an output is in current limitbut the red LED will also go out when the output voltage returns to normal.

The 5 V current limit is a special case due to the 5 V undervoltage detector. If thecurrent limit causes the 5 V output voltage to fold back below the UV threshold, allof the other outputs will be disabled until the 5 V output voltage returns to a voltageabove the UV threshold.

All of the other faults will shut down one or all of the outputs until the external causeof the fault condition is removed and the supply is reset. A reset can be initiatedthrough the front panel power switch or by removing and reapplying input power tothe supply. Output overvoltage faults on the newer design require the removal ofinput power for a minimum of one minute to reset the fault once the source of thefault has been removed. Below is a power supply fault summary.

• Input undervoltage (Latched)

• Input overvoltage (Newer Design Only)

• P5 output undervoltage

• Output overvoltage (Latched)

• Over temperature (Newer Design Only)

The following figure shows the power supply connections to the VME rack and thedistribution of the power supply outputs.

DiagnosticsIncoming and outgoing voltages and currents are monitored for control andprotection purposes. If the red LED is ON, this is not a direct indication that thepower supply has failed and has to be replaced. The LED ON could indicate thatsomething is wrong in the system and the fault LED is latched on. The following isa description of the power supply parameters that are monitored and the conditionsthat can cause faults.

Input Undervoltage (below the minimum operating voltage)

If the supply power switch isturned on in this conditionthere will be no outputvoltages.

The input voltage has to be above the undervoltage threshold or operation of thesupply will be inhibited. For the newer design this is indicated by no LEDs ON. Thered LED will come ON and remain on until the input voltage is above theundervoltage threshold and the power switch is toggled. If an undervoltage faultoccurs during normal operation, the outputs will be disabled and the red LED willcome ON and remain ON until the input voltage is above the undervoltage thresholdand the power switch is toggled.

Input Overvoltage (newer design above maximum operating voltage)

The input voltage has to bebelow the overvoltagethreshold or operation of thesupply will be inhibited andthe yellow LED will be ON.

If the supply power switch is turned on in this condition there, will be no outputvoltages and the red LED will come ON and remain on until the input voltage isbelow the overvoltage threshold and the power switch is toggled. If an overvoltagefault occurs during normal operation, the outputs will be disabled and the red LEDwill come ON and remain ON until the input voltage is below the over voltagethreshold and the power switch is toggled.

5 V Output Undervoltage (typically below 4.7 V)

The P5 output voltage has to be above the undervoltage threshold or operation of thesupply will be inhibited, all supply outputs will be turned off, and the red LED willbe ON. If an undervoltage fault occurs during normal operation, the outputs will bedisabled and the red LED will come ON and remain ON until the output voltage isabove the undervoltage threshold.

5 V Output Overvoltage (typically above 6 V)

The P5 output voltage has to be below the overvoltage threshold or operation of thesupply will be inhibited. All supply outputs will be latched OFF and the red LEDwill be ON until the power switch is toggled. For the newer design, this fault must bereset by removing input power to the supply (wait for one minute and re-apply inputpower).

Output Overvoltage other than P5 (typically above 120%)

The output voltage has to be below the overvoltage threshold or operation of thesupply output that is above the threshold will be inhibited (latched OFF) until thepower switch is toggled. The red LED will be ON during this fault. For the newerdesign, this fault must be reset by removing input power to the supply (wait for oneminute and re-apply input power).

Output Overtemperature (newer design typically above 100 degrees C)

The modules that supply the output voltage have to be operated below theovertemperature threshold. A specific supply output module operated above thethreshold will be inhibited until the temperature is lowered below the threshold. Thered LED will be ON during this fault. An overtemperature of the 5 V module willcause a 5 V undervoltage fault.

TroubleshootingThe supply has no field serviceable components. If a supply is found to be defectiveit must be replaced. The power supply cover should not be removed in the field.

There are only two indications of a problem on the power supply itself. A problem isindicated when there are no LEDs ON or the red LED is ON. Both conditions will beannunciated on the newer designs through the status output.

No LEDs ON is a good indication of an input voltage problem or a defective supply.If the red LED is ON, the cause could be any of the fault conditions listed above or adefective supply. Below is a list of troubleshooting hints.

Note Overvoltage faults on the newer design must be reset by removing inputpower to the supply, waiting for one minute, and re-applying input power.

No LEDs ON

Verify that the input connector and voltage to the supply are correct. If they are, thenreplace the supply. Use caution when powering on the replacement supply becausethe failure could have been caused by a problem in the system.

Red LED ON and system up

This condition indicates that the 5 V power is OK. Use the system diagnostics and ortestpoints on the left bottom of the control rack or at the supply connectors to findthe faulted outputs. Try and clear the fault with the input power or switch reset. If thegreen LED comes ON, the fault was a transient one and may come back. If the redLED is still ON, remove the connector supplying the faulted output and reset thesupply. If the red LED is still ON, then a defective supply is the most probable cause.If the green LED comes ON, then the problem is most likely in the system.

Red LED ON and system down

This condition indicates that the 5 V power is not OK. In this case, all of the supplyoutputs should be off. Try and reset the fault with the input power. If the green LEDcomes on the fault was a transient one and may come back. If the red LED is stillON, remove the PSA/PSB output connector at the top of the supply and reset thesupply. If the red LED is still ON, then a defective supply is the most probable cause.If the green LED comes ON, then the problem is most likely in the system.

Green LED ON and system up but one or more of the voltages out ofspecification

This condition indicates that the 5 V power is OK. Each supply output has a currentlimit and short circuit protection. This condition could be caused by a short or failedcomponent in the system. Remove the connector supplying the failed output voltage.If the voltage returns to normal this is an indication of a system problem. If thevoltage does not return to normal then the most probable cause is a defective supply.

Thermal overtemperature faults (new design only)

Even in the worst case ambient conditions, a thermal fault should not occur if theoutputs are not overloaded. A sustained current limit on a supply output will be themost likely cause of a thermal fault.

VME Rack Redundant Power Supply Module (RPSM)To improve system reliability, the redundant power supply module (RPSM) module canparallel ten output voltages from two independent power supplies. ORing diodes areused to OR the outputs of one supply with the outputs from a second redundantsupply. Nine of the paralleling circuits have an additional current limit function. Allof the output circuits have an LED status indicator.

Refer to the table for suitablepower supplies for use withRPSM.

The folllowing figure shows the power and signal flow for two paralleled powersupplies providing power for a Mark VI control rack. To provide redundancy, theoutputs of each supply are passed into the RPSM, ORed and the redundant voltagesare passed out the RPSM outputs. The RPSM module mounts on the side of thecontrol rack in place of the power supply. The two power supplies that feed theRPSM are remotely mounted.

Operation

Output Voltage ORing

These circuits will hold theshort circuit current to anacceptable level.

The ten outputs of two supplies are ORed together using low forward drop Schottkydiodes. If an output of one of the supplies fails, the corresponding output on theother supply will pick up the full load through the diode. It is not intended that thetwo supplies equally share the load current, but if a short occurs on a RPSM output,it is possible to supply twice the normal short circuit current to the load. To preventthis, all of the outputs of the ORing diodes, with the exception of the 5 V, have anadditional current limit circuit.

Refer to the table for expected RPSM output voltages accounting for the voltagelosses introduced by passing the supply outputs through the ORing circuits. Due tothe wiring impedance between the supply outputs and the RPSM, the supplies willtend to share the load. The sharing will reduce the diode and conductor losses so theexpected losses for normal operations will be less than with one supply faulted.

Current Limit ECB

No current limiting isprovided on the RPSMmodule for the 5 V output.

Nine of the outputs have electronic circuit breakers (ECBs) to limit the short circuitcurrent. These circuit breakers are of the auto-reset type. Once the supplied outputcurrent exceeds the overcurrent threshold the output will be turned OFF and the resettimer started. Once the reset timer has expired the output will be turned back ON. Ifthe overcurrent condition still exists, the output will be turned OFF and the resettimer started again. This cycle will continue until the short is removed. The outputwill then return to normal operation.

Indicator LEDs

A flashing LED indicates thatthe output ECB is tripped.

All of the RPSM supply outputs have green status LEDs to indicate that power isbeing supplied to the load. The LEDs are located on the front panel of the module.For normal operations these LEDs will be ON solid. If the RPSM is not supplyingthe correct power to the load, one or more of these LEDs are OFF or flashing.

Diagnostics and TroubleshootingThere are no field serviceable components in the RPSM module. If one or more ofthe green front panel LEDs are OFF, this is not a direct indication that the RPSMmodule has failed and has to be replaced. An LED OFF could indicate thatsomething is wrong in the system and the fault is not due to the RPSM module.Below is a list of fault indications and the possible causes.

All RPSM green LEDs OFF - This is an indication of a problem back at the powersupplies and not an RPSM failure.

One or more RPSM green LEDs OFF (but not all) - An RPSM LED OFFcondition is an indication that there is no output voltage due to a short in the controlrack or an RPSM failure.

5 V output problems - The 5 V output is unique from all of the other outputs. ThisRPSM output does not have current limit protection and has remote voltage sensingfrom the power supplies to the RPSM module. With a 5 V transient short or problemin the system, the most likely failure mode will be a 5 V output overvoltage faultback at the power supplies. Under high currents the losses will become high enoughto cause the voltage at the power supplies to exceed the overvoltage threshold. Referto the 5 V paragraph in the Power Supply section for details. Any time the RPSM P5green LED is on, the RPSM 5 V output voltage is above 4.55 V.

Redundant power supply replacement - As long as one of the power supplies isfully operational, the RPSM green LEDs will be ON and the correct power will besupplied to the system. When one of the power supplies fails, replacement can bepostponed until it is convenient to do so. Before replacing the supply, refer to thetroubleshooting guidelines outlined in the Power Supply section to rule out atransient fault that can be reset such as an input power undervoltage. If the supply isfound to be defective, follow removal and installation procedure outlined in thePower Supply section.

Removal and InstallationThe RPSM module is mounted to the right hand side of the VME rack on a sheetmetal bracket. The status and 28 V dc output connections are at the bottom. Twoconnectors, PSA and PSB, at the top of the assembly mate with a cable harnesscarrying power to the VME rack. The four 15-pin Mate-N-Lock connectors at theback side of the module are the primary power feeds from the remotely mountedpower supplies.

TTPWH1AThe TTPWH1A power conditioning board provides branch circuit protection anddistribution between one or more Mark VI rack mounted +28 V dc power suppliesand discrete wiring to peripheral devices. The H1A has three 2-pin inputs for +28 Vdc from the Mark VI power supply. It provides diode OR selection between the threeinputs to power the +28 V dc outputs. Outputs are rated 22 – 30 V dc, 0 – 0.25 Aindividually and capable of parallel operation. There is high frequency isolationbetween the inputs and the outputs and the voltage drop is less than +4 V dc whendelivering rated current.

The TTPWH1A internalsignal paths are shown in thefollowing figure. Nine currentlimited 0.25 A outputs areprovided and may beparalleled for higher currentapplications.

Typical applications power the H1A from the P28C output of the VME rack powersupply. When this is done, the isolation jumper on the rack is placed in the isolatedposition removing all connections between the P28C output and the rack. TheTTPWH1A then provides a resistive bridge to ground to center the power circuitwith respect to ground. Voltage feedback monitoring signals are provided using0.1% resistors allowing monitoring of three input voltages, output voltage, andvoltage between PCOM and SCOM.

The +28 V dc power source should have an isolated common (return), especially ifthe load is external to the cabinet and is grounded. Wiring from the rack powersupplies through TTPWH1A to the trip board is shown in the following figure.

GEI-100569 Power Distribution Module (PDM) • 3

OperationThe customer's 125 V dc and 115/230 V ac power is brought into the PDM throughpower filters. The ac power is cabled out to one or two ac/dc converters whichproduce 125 V dc. This dc voltage is then cabled back into the PDM and diodecoupled to the main dc power, forming a redundant power source. This power isdistributed to the VME racks and terminal boards.

Either 115 V ac or 230 V ac can be handled by the ac/dc converters. The transformercable must be plugged into either JTX1 for 115 V ac, or JTX2 for 230 V acoperation.

Diagnostic information is collected in the PDM and wired out to a DIN rail mountedterminal board. A cable then runs to the VCMI in rack <R> through J301.

Ac feeders, J17-20, are fused and cabled out to the relay terminal boards. 125 V dcfeeders are fused and cabled to the interface (I/O) cabinets, protection modules,TRPG, TREG, and TRLY. To ensure a noise free supply to the boards, the PDM issupplied through a control power filter (CPF) which suppresses EMI noise. The CPFrack holds either two or three Corcom 30 A filter modules as shown in the followingfigure.

Power to the contact inputs first passes through resistors R3 and R4, through TB2,before being fused and cabled to the TBCI boards. Contact inputs operate with 125 Vdc excitation.

PDM Diagnostic Monitoring

Control Cabinet PDMPower requirements for the control cabinet are less than for the interface cabinet. ThePDM has the same layout but different fuse ratings, since only the control racks andrelay output boards require power. For additional noise filtering for the controllers,Corcom power filters are included with the PDM.
