About the DS3800XAIB1E1E

General Electric (GE) created the DS3800XAIB1E1E for the Speedtronic Mark IV (MKIV) series. The Mark IV is a system of turbine automation and controls. This system is one of a series of Mark systems. The Mark series were introduced in the late 1960s with the creation of the Mark I. These systems control all aspects of turbine function including startup and shutdown, fuel injection, diagnostics, and temperature regulation. The DS3800XAIB1E1E is a printed circuit board (PCB).

The DS3800XAIB1E1E features many different types of PCB components. The most prominent components on the circuit board are a series of large devices which are lined up on one half of the DS3800XAIB1E1E. These components are rectangular. Most of them are made of black plastic while the rest are made of a silver-gold metal material. The other half of the DS3800XAIB1E1E is taken up by various other components which are very small. Many small banded resistors can be found on this side of the DS3800XAIB1E1E. These resistors are brown and banded in white and gold. There are also many small resistors which are solid. These solid resistors are orange in color. Many very small capacitors are also featured near these resistors. Most of these capacitors are solid greenish-blue. Several of the capacitors are solid yellow. Arranged along the edge of the DS3800XAIB1E1E is a series of ten connector ports. Each of these connector ports is light blue in color. They all contain “male” connector pins. Eight of these connector ports are mid-sized while the other four are small.
