GE IS210AEDBH4AGD Speedtronic AED Bridge Interface Board

Technical Specifications

Function Features

• AE-to-DB Communication Bridge: Enables seamless data exchange between Analog Electronic (AE) subsystems and Digital Bus (DB) networks in Mark VI turbine control systems.
• Signal Conversion: Converts analog sensor inputs (4-20 mA, 0-10 VDC) to digital bus signals and vice versa for turbine parameter monitoring and control.
• Protocol Translation: Supports Modbus RTU/TCP and VME Bus protocols, facilitating integration with diverse control system components.
• Isolation Protection: Channel-to-channel isolation prevents signal interference and ensures safe operation in high-voltage industrial environments.
• Diagnostic Capabilities: Integrates self-diagnostic logic for continuous monitoring of interface health, with status indicators for power, communication, and fault conditions.
• Conformal Coating: Protects against moisture, dust, and chemical contaminants in turbine enclosures and power plant settings.
• Hot-Swappable Design: Edge connectors and pluggable terminal blocks enable replacement without system shutdown, minimizing downtime during maintenance.
• ToolboxST Compatibility: Configurable via GE ToolboxST software for protocol mapping, data scaling, and alarm setup.

Application Scenarios

• Gas Turbine Control: Primary use in Mark VI-based gas turbine control systems for AE-to-DB communication, combustion control, and safety shutdown sequencing.
• Steam Turbine Control: Supports steam turbine operation by bridging analog sensor inputs (pressure, temperature, flow) to digital control networks for valve actuation and load management.
• Combined Cycle Power Plants: Facilitates integration of gas/steam turbine subsystems for efficient power generation and grid stability monitoring.
• Turbine Retrofits: Direct replacement for legacy interface boards in Mark VI system upgrades, enhancing communication speed and system reliability.
• Industrial Power Generation: Operates reliably in harsh environments with protection against vibration, temperature fluctuations, and electromagnetic interference.
• Power Plant DCS Integration: Interfaces with Distributed Control Systems (DCS) for centralized monitoring and control of turbine fleets.

Compatibility and Integration

• Mark VI Systems: Fully compatible with Mark VI controllers, I/O packs, and communication modules, enabling seamless data exchange in turbine control networks.
• Software Support: Configurable via GE ToolboxST software, providing tools for protocol mapping, data scaling, and diagnostic testing.
• Sensor Compatibility: Interfaces with temperature transmitters, pressure transducers, flow meters, and position encoders for comprehensive parameter monitoring.
• Actuator Control: Distributes digital control signals to fuel valves, guide vanes, and braking systems via AE subsystems for precise turbine operation.
• Documentation: Detailed guidelines available in GE Speedtronic Mark VI System Manual (GEH-6700) and AED Bridge Interface Application Guide.
