Main Functions

1. Execute core real‑time turbine control algorithms including speed regulation, load control, valve closed‑loop calculation, overspeed protection and unit startup‑stop sequence logic, also support LCI excitation control algorithm operation.
2. Exchange high‑speed real‑time process data with VSVO, VTUR, VVIB, VTCC and other VME I/O boards via VME backplane bus; realize inter‑controller synchronization through ISBus and DLAN+ bus.
3. Multi‑protocol external communication for data interaction with operator HMI, engineering workstation and plant DCS system.
4. Store alarm logs, event records and trending data; support local serial port for firmware download and on‑site troubleshooting.
5. On‑board self‑diagnosis: detect watchdog timeout, firmware integrity error, VME‑bus / ISBus / DLAN+ communication failure, Ethernet and serial‑port link abnormality; upload fault alarm status.
6. LED status indication:   ‑ Green LED：Board power supply normal / RUN status   ‑ Yellow LED：Communication port activity indicator   ‑ Red LED：Module FAIL / fault 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; ensure VME backplane contact is reliable.
3. External Ethernet, DLAN+‑BNC and serial‑port wiring strictly follow GE Speedtronic Mark VI wiring manual; communication cables adopt shielded twisted‑pair, strictly separated from high‑power cables; connect shielding to dedicated ground terminal.
4. Complete protective grounding according to GE system specification.
5. After replacement: verify VME rack power‑on status, download matching firmware and turbine application code, check multi‑bus communication link status, perform full control‑loop commissioning test.

6. Replacement note: For TMR triple‑redundant system application, hardware consistency and firmware‑version matching of redundant controller boards shall be verified; full control‑loop simulation test mandatory before unit put‑into‑service.
