System Supervision and Control Functions
The card manages all turbine sequencing from start-up to shutdown. It executes safety-critical logic independently from communication tasks. The GE 173C8989ADG01 WITH DS200SSBAG1BAA monitors speed, temperature, and vibration continuously. It compares all values against programmed trip setpoints. The card also handles valve positioning and fuel control algorithms. A green LED indicates proper processor operation and self-test completion. The card logs all events and alarms to onboard non-volatile memory.
Redundancy and Fault Tolerance Features
This control card supports redundant configurations for critical turbine applications. Two cards operate in active-standby mode with automatic failover. The GE 173C8989ADG01 WITH DS200SSBAG1BAA synchronizes data between redundant units every scan cycle. It detects a partner card failure within 10 milliseconds. The standby card assumes control without any process disturbance. A yellow LED indicates when the card operates in standby mode. The card reports redundancy status back to the operator display panel.
Installation and Operational Guidelines
You must insert this card into a dedicated slot in the Mark V rack. The backplane supplies 5V DC power to the card automatically. The GE 173C8989ADG01 WITH DS200SSBAG1BAA draws approximately 380 mA from the 5V supply rail. You must configure the card’s address and redundancy mode before operation. Use the configuration software’s hardware tool for these settings. The card stores all parameters in non-volatile EEPROM memory. Therefore, it retains configuration during power cycles without a battery. You should verify firmware compatibility with your specific turbine model.
