DS3810DDDB1B1A

Product Description

The DS3810DDDB1B1A is a PCB with an HMI (human machine interface) panel manufactured by GE for the Mark IV series, which is designed for gas and steam turbine management.  The MKIV is built upon interconnected microprocessors with intentional redundancies which distribute control functions between them. These computers monitor turbine performance around the clock.

The DS3810DDDB1B1A is designed as a printed circuit board with an HMI panel connected to it by four screw mounts.  The lower board is alignment marked along one edge and has been factory-drilled at each corner. Extractor clips have been inserted in two of these.  Extractors act as both levers and handles for technicians, as the clips can push against the chassis frame to push the board out of its location during extraction but the clips also give technicians something to hold on to other than the board while handling it during either extraction or insertion.

The DS3810DDDB1B1A’s upper panel has multiple cut-outs to allow LED lights and LED strips to show through.  The board has four amber LEDs and one red LED. One LED is placed so it can be seen from the side of the HMI panel.  The other four LEDs are placed in cut-outs through the panel, and are labeled “Drive OK,” “Data Link Active,” “Ready to Run,” and “Fault.”  There is one switch labeled Reset below these LEDs.

The panel has six LED light strips, including three red strips and three amber strips.   The red strips are labeled Motor Faults, Converter Faults, and Alarms. The amber strips are labeled Drive Status, Reference Selection, and Status.  Each sub-value on these strips is numbered and labeled. There are forty values in all.

All technical support for the DS3810DDDB1B1A, including data sheets and manuals, was provided by GE.
