About the IC3600VANA1D
The IC3600VANA1D is a GE FANUC component for the Mark I and Mark II series from GE for steam/gas heavy-duty turbine management. Both of these systems were released by GE several decades ago and have, since then, been in continuous use around the globe in the management of heavy duty turbine systems ranging from single 4000 hp units to entire power stations up to 400 Mw. And while these systems are now considered obsolete by General Electric due to that company’s continued development of better, more complex systems using the newest technologies, the MKI and MKII are still viable systems that still boast their initial design features of adaptability, scalability, reliability, and longevity.
The IC3600VANA1D is built with eleven integrated circuits. These circuits are in Motorola’s 7349 series. The circuits are placed on the board as two parallel lines of four circuits, with the inner of these lines bisected by a perpendicular line of three circuits. Twelve transistors populate the board, using the designators Q1 through Q3. These components are grouped on the board in four groups of three.
The IC3600VANA1D has thirteen capacitors, including five ceramic and eight fixed vacuum. The board uses two types of diodes. It also uses two types of resistors (metal film and carbon composite) of differing resistance. Many resistors are marked with the same designator. For example, there is more than one R17 on the board.
The board of the IC3600VANA1D carries the codes 002/05, 003/06, 006/09 and 68A944111. It is drilled in two corners and is numbered on one edge. This edge has a line of metal right-angled pins attached. Five additional pins are spaced along the opposite edge. These pins are marked either TJ1 or TJ2.
