About the IC3600KRST1A
The IC3600KRST1A Relay board was created as a GE FANUC component for the earliest gas/steam turbine management systems in the Speedtronic series, the Mark I and the Mark II. Each of these series is still in use today, and have been in continuous use somewhere in the world since their respective releases in 1969 (MKI) and 1973 (MKII.) Both have been used in all kinds of environments in temperatures from minus to plus 50 degrees Celsius. GE’s original focus in the creation of the MKI and MKII was to design a management system for their heavy-duty turbines that would be adaptable, scalable, easy to use, and long-lasting. And while both systems are now considered obsolete and are no longer supported by GE, they are still usable, viable systems.
The IC3600KRST1A is a component-sparse board. It is built with four diodes, four relays, and a series of pins on one edge that function as the board’s communication device. The board is numbered beneath these pins. When the IC3600KRST1A is inserted into a Speedtronic frame, wires attached to these pins allow for data to be transferred.
The relays on the IC3600KRST1A are each marked 2642X and 68A7162-P5321G1. One edge of each relay is marked 2X 3X 4X 5X. Relays are essentially electromagnetic switches operated by a small electric current. When this small current flows through a coil placed inside the relay it is temporarily magnetized, which allows for the opening or closing of the relay’s switch.
The board of the IC3600KRST1A is marked with the codes 006/01 and 003/01, as well as 68A944140. It also carries the round GE trademark.
Our warehouse use a static-reducing covering during the shipment of the IC3600KRST1A to your facility. Manuals or data sheets from the OEM are excellent resources for information on safety data, which should be reviewed before installation of this part.
