Description

DS3800DMPC1F1E: Product Overview​
The GE DS3800DMPC1F1E​ is an industrial control module designed for GE Mark V gas turbine control systems, a legacy platform for industrial power generation and turbine automation. As part of the Mark V ecosystem, it leverages the VME64 standard to provide reliable, real-time signal processing for systems requiring high durability and compatibility with existing VMEbus architectures.
Role in Automation Systems:
Positioned as a “field signal interface” in Mark V architectures, the DS3800DMPC1F1E performs two primary functions:
  1. Signal Acquisition: Receives digital/analog signals from field devices (e.g., limit switches, pressure sensors) and converts them into a format suitable for the VMEbus controller.
  2. Signal Output: Sends control commands from the VMEbus controller to field actuators (e.g., solenoid valves, motors) to adjust industrial processes.
Core Functionality:
  • VMEbus Compatibility: Conforms to VMEbus Rev. C.1, ensuring seamless integration with VME64 backplanes and controllers (e.g., GE Fanuc 90-30 series).
  • Flexible I/O Configuration: Supports configurable digital/analog I/O channels (depending on variant), allowing customization for diverse field device requirements.
  • Galvanic Isolation: Protects sensitive controller circuits from voltage spikes and noise using optocouplers, ensuring reliable signal transmission in harsh industrial environments.
  • Rugged Design: Industrial-grade components and a compact form factor (6U Eurocard) enable 24/7 operation in high-temperature, high-vibration environments.
Platform Benefits (Mark V Series):
The DS3800DMPC1F1E benefits from GE’s Mark V platform, which is renowned for:
  • Reliability: The Mark V system is the industry standard for gas turbine control, with a proven track record of 24/7 operation in power plants worldwide.
  • Legacy Compatibility: The DS3800DMPC1F1E is designed to work with existing Mark V components (e.g., contactors, I/O modules), reducing the cost of system upgrades.
  • Scalability: The board supports expansion with additional I/O modules to accommodate growing system demands.

Core Features & Customer Value​
1. Reliable Signal Transmission:
The DS3800DMPC1F1E’s galvanic isolation and VMEbus compatibility ensure accurate signal transmission from field devices to the controller, even in electrically noisy environments. For example, in a power plant, the board can reliably monitor the status of a turbine’s emergency stop button, ensuring safe operation.
2. Flexible Configuration:
Configurable I/O channels allow engineers to customize the board’s functionality for different field devices, reducing the need for additional signal conditioning hardware. This flexibility saves time and money during installation.
3. Rugged Industrial Design:
The board’s operating temperature range (0°C to +55°C) and compact form factor make it suitable for harsh industrial environments. Its DIN rail mounting option simplifies installation in crowded control cabinets, reducing setup time and effort.
4. Easy Integration:
VMEbus compatibility ensures seamless integration with existing VMEbus systems, minimizing downtime and effort during upgrades. This is invaluable for facilities with legacy VMEbus installations, allowing them to enhance system capabilities without replacing entire architectures.
