Main Functions

1. LVDT excitation & feedback signal conditioning Output high‑frequency AC excitation to field LVDT position sensors. Receive differential AC position signals, perform buffer, common‑mode noise suppression, phase‑sensitive demodulation, gain / zero‑offset adjustment, low‑pass filtering, ADC conversion. Convert AC LVDT signal into digital position value and upload to Mark‑V CPU over VME bus for valve‑position PID closed‑loop calculation.
2. Servo command output conditioning Receive digital valve‑set‑point commands from CPU via VME bus, complete DAC conversion, signal scaling and offset compensation, output buffered drive signal to field electro‑hydraulic servo valve coils, with short‑circuit current‑limiting protection and output noise filtering.
3. Hardware configuration 20 jumpers plus 18 DIP‑switches configure LVDT gain range, channel assignment, servo‑drive mode to match field actuator hardware parameters.
4. Fault detection & status indication Detect LVDT excitation loss, feedback signal over‑range; report fault status word to CPU; onboard LED indicates basic board operational health for commissioning and troubleshooting.

Installation & Wiring Requirements

1. Cut off rack control power before installation or replacement. Non‑hot‑swappable. ESD wrist‑strap protection is mandatory during board handling.
2. Insert DS200SIOBH1ABA into target VME slot, push fully home to engage VME backplane connectors and lock front‑panel ejector latches. Reproduce jumper‑settings and DIP‑switch positions exactly consistent with original‑board hardware configuration. Fasten the 40‑pin field‑signal connector firmly.
3. All field‑signal wiring must strictly follow Mark‑V system‑wiring drawings. Reliable protective‑earth connection for control cabinet is mandatory.
4. After replacement: Restore rack control‑power. Observe board‑status‑LED state. Measure servo‑command output and LVDT feedback signal levels. Complete static‑loop‑verification test before putting valve‑actuator loops into service.
5. Replacement note: Wrong jumper / DIP‑switch configuration or poor VME‑connector contact will cause position‑feedback error, valve‑actuator mis‑operation, may lead to turbine trip events. Full‑system servo‑loop function verification test is mandatory before turbine‑unit commissioning.
