Main Functions

1. Front‑panel J33/J44 connectors receive discrete contact signals from field terminal boards, including turbine trip interlock, pressure/flow switch status, equipment running‑status feedback, push‑button and limit‑switch signals.
2. Complete discrete signal acquisition, filtering and debounce processing, transmit digital status data to main controller via VME bus.
3. Convert main‑rack logic control commands into relay‑drive output signals, actuate trip relays, solenoid valves and auxiliary interlock executing devices.
4. On‑board channel self‑diagnosis: detect input signal abnormality, relay‑drive circuit fault, ribbon‑cable link failure, watchdog timeout; upload fault alarm to turbine main controller.
5. LED status indication:
   • Green LED：Board power supply normal
   • Yellow LED：VME‑bus communication active
   • Red LED：I/O‑channel fault / module failure alarm

Installation & Wiring Requirements

1. Cut off rack power supply before replacement. Hot‑swap is forbidden. Strict anti‑static protection when handling PCB board.
2. Insert board into designated VME slot, secure panel locking screws; properly fasten J33/J44 front‑panel cable connectors without loose contact.
3. Field discrete wiring strictly follow GE Speedtronic Mark VI wiring manual; signal cables adopt shielded twisted‑pair, strictly separated from high‑power cables; connect shielding to dedicated ground terminal.
4. Complete protective grounding according to GE Speedtronic system specification.
5. After replacement: verify VME rack power status, check each discrete‑input status reading, test every relay‑output channel performance before commissioning.
6. Replacement note: For TMR triple‑redundant system application, hardware consistency of related processor packs shall be verified; full discrete‑loop simulation test mandatory before unit put‑into‑service.
