The control cabinet can accept power from multiple power sources. Each power input source (30 A / 120 V ac, 15 A / 240 V
ac, or 30 A / 125 V dc) should feed through its own external, two-pole, thermal, magnetic circuit breaker before entering the

Power requirements for a typical large, four-cabinet turbine control containing controllers, I/O, and terminal boards are
displayed in the following table. The total panel current ratings must include the current supplied to external loads, such as
solenoids and ignition transformers as described in the notes below the table. Heat dissipation in a typical TMR turbine
control is about 1600 watts. However, power supply mains and heat dissipation requirements must be calculated for each
Mark VIe panel application based on the number and mix of controllers, I/O modules, IONet switches, power supplies, and
external loading.

Power Requirements for Cabinets

Cabinet Voltage Frequency Current Requirements
Large, 125 V dc ± 10% N/A N/A 15.0 A dc (Note 1)
four-cabinet 120 V ac ± 10% 50/60 Hz ±3 Hz 20.0 A rms (Notes 2, 4)
turbine control 240 V ac ± 10% 50/60 Hz ±3 Hz 10.0 A rms (Notes 3, 4)

1. Add 0.5 A dc † continuous for each 125 V dc external solenoid powered.

2. Add 6.0 A rms † for a continuously powered ignition transformer (2 maximum).

3. Add 3.5 A rms † for a continuously powered ignition transformer (2 maximum).

4. Add 2.0 A rms † continuous for each 120 V ac external solenoid powered (inrush 10 A).

Note † These are external and do not create cabinet heat load.

 ID Line
The processor board and acquisition board within the I/O pack contain electronic ID parts
that are read during power initialization. A similar part located with each terminal board
DC-37 pin connector allows the processor to confirm correct matching of I/O pack to
terminal board and report board revision status to the system level control.

Power Management
The I/O pack includes power management in the 28 V input circuit. The management
function provides soft start to control current inrush during power application. After
applying power, the circuit provides a fast current limit function to prevent a pack or
terminal board failure from propagating back onto the 28 V power system. When power
is present and working properly, the green PWR indicator will light. If the current limit
function operates, the indicator will be out until the problem is cleared.

Connectors
The pack contains the following connectors:

• A DC-37 pin connector on the underside of the I/O pack connects directly to
the discrete input terminal board. The connector contains the 24 input signals,
ID signal, relay coil power, and feedback multiplex command.
• An RJ45 Ethernet connector named ENET1 on the side of the pack
is the primary system interface.
• A second RJ45 Ethernet connector named ENET2 on the side of the pack
is the redundant or secondary system interface.
• A 3-pin power connector on the side of the pack is for 28 V dc
power for the pack and terminal board.

Compressor Stall Detection

PAIC firmware includes gas turbine compressor stall detection, executed at 200 Hz. Two
stall algorithms can be selected. Both use the first four analog inputs, scanned at 200 Hz.
One algorithm is for small LM gas turbines and uses two pressure transducers (refer to
the figure, Small (LM) Gas Turbine Compressor Stall Detection Algorithm). The other
algorithm is for heavy-duty gas turbines and uses three pressure transducers (refer to the
figure, Heavy Duty Gas Turbine Compressor Stall Detection Algorithm).

Real-time inputs are separated from the configured parameters for clarity. The parameter
CompStalType selects the type of algorithm required, either two transducers or three. PS3
is the compressor discharge pressure. A drop in this pressure (PS3 drop) indicates possible
compressor stall. The algorithm also calculates the rate of change of discharge pressure,
dPS3dt, and compares these values with configured stall parameters (KPS3 constants).

The compressor stall trip is initiated by PAIC, which sends the signal to the controller
where it is used to initiate a shutdown. The shutdown signal can be used to set all the fuel
shut-off valves (FSOV) through any relay output.

 Diagnostics
The I/O pack performs the following self-diagnostic tests:

• A power-up self-test that includes checks of RAM, flash memory, Ethernet

ports, and most of the processor board hardware
• Continuous monitoring of the internal power supplies for correct operation
• A check of the electronic ID information from the terminal board, acquisition board,
and processor board to confirm that the hardware set matches, followed by a check
that the application code loaded from flash memory is correct for the hardware set
• Each analog input has hardware limit checking based on preset (non-configurable)
high and low levels near the end of the operating range. If this limit is
exceeded a logic signal is set and the input is no longer scanned. The logic
signal, L3DIAG_xxxx, refers to the entire board.
• Each input has system limit checking based on configurable high and low
levels. These limits can be used to generate alarms, to enable/disable, and as
latching/non-latching. RSTSYS resets the out of limits.
• The analog input hardware includes precision reference voltages in each
scan. Measured values are compared against expected values and are used to
confirm health of the analog to digital converter circuits.
• Analog output current is sensed on the terminal board using a small burden
resistor. The I/O pack conditions this signal and compares it to the commanded
current to confirm health of the digital to analog converter circuits.
• The analog output suicide relay is continuously monitored for agreement
between commanded state and feedback indication.

Details of the individual diagnostics are available from the ToolboxST application. The
diagnostic signals can be individually latched, and then reset with the RSTDIAG signal
if they go healthy.
