GE DS3800HPID
The GE DS3800HPID is a Mark VI / Speedtronic high-performance I/O link and analog interface board used in GE turbine control systems. It is built for high-density signal conditioning and end-of-chain IONet communication in critical turbine monitoring applications.
-
Product Type: I/O Link Card / High-Performance Analog Interface Module (Mark VI Speedtronic)
Detailed content
-
Input Voltage: 24 VDC ±10% (nominal)
-
Discrete I/O: 16 optically isolated discrete inputs (24 V sink/source); 16 solid-state discrete outputs (0.5 A per channel max)
-
Analog Inputs: 8 channels, factory-configured for high-performance signal conditioning
-
Analog Input Impedance: >10 MΩ differential
-

-
Signal Conditioning: Precision gain resistors, low-drift amplifiers, overvoltage and reverse-polarity protection
-
IONet Termination: Internal 120 Ω resistor factory-enabled (eliminates external terminators at end-of-chain)
-

-
Communication: GE IONet proprietary protocol at 2 Mbps
-
Isolation Voltage: 1500 VAC (field-to-logic)
-
Operating Temperature: 0°C to +60°C
-
Storage Temperature: –40°C to +85°C
-
Humidity: 5% to 95% non-condensing
-
Power Consumption: 7.0 W typical
-
Dimensions: 18.5 cm × 12.7 cm × 3.0 cm (standard Mark VI form factor)
-
Material & Construction: FR-4 multi-layer PCB with conformal coating; surface-mount precision components; DIN/chassis mounting within Mark VI rack
-
Working Principle: Field analog signals are conditioned on-board through precision gain stages and low-drift amplifiers, converted via 12-bit ADC, and transmitted over IONet to the Mark VI controller; the ‘D’ suffix permanently enables a 120 Ω termination resistor across the communication pair.
-
Installation Requirements: Mount in a standard Mark VI rack slot; ensure 24 VDC ±10% supply; verify firmware revision compatibility with the existing Speedtronic toolbox.
-
Usage Notes: Not hot-swappable — full rack power-down is required before removal or insertion. Confirm the exact analog input type (voltage, current, or RTD) with the OEM datasheet, as the HPID variant is factory-configured for specific sensor scaling.
