About the DS3800XJBA1A1A

The DS3800XJBA1A1A is a PCB (printed circuit board) designed as an adapter card. It is part of GE's Mark IV Speedtronic series. The Mark IV Speedtronic gas and steam turbine control system is manufactured with intentional redundancies within the various chipsets, which allow for communications and control functions to shift as needed whenever any specific board needs repair. This system was designed to minimize plant shutdowns caused by forced outages. The Speedtronic system may be used in the sequencing of turbine auxiliaries for startup, for shutdown and cooldown procedures, and for the monitoring of all functions related to turbine control. It can also perform several functions related to air, fuel and emissions control.

The DS3800XJBA1A1A is a simple component with few parts. It has been drilled out at the factory in the upper and lower corner of the board. It has one header with ejectors connector, labeled 218A4637P4-879. On the long side away from the drill-out holes, the board has a 51-pin SBH connector. This is a male right-angled DIL connector. The alignments of the pins allow for accurate placement of the board when connecting to another PCB. Numbering runs from the top of the board to the bottom as follows: 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 51. The board is marked with "J1" at the bottom of these connectors. The DS3800XJBA1A1A is also marked 6BA01 on its top edge.

Technical support for the DS3800XJBA1A1A was originally provided by GE. AXControl suggests referring to the datasheet or original manufacturer's manual for all safety and installation procedures.
